MRS. COLEMAN WRITES
Discusses Red Cross Drive and Gives
Views on Matters of Interest,"
Requires Assurance That Red
Cross Funds Be Applied
To Red Cross Purposes

The Press and Banner is in re-
ceipt of the following communica-
tion from Mrs. Hannah Hemphih
Coleman, which will be read with in
terest:
Editor Press and Banner:
A notice appearing in the Press
and Banner of last Wednesday
stated that the Red Cross drive for
members would take place Satur'
day, November goth, and asked that
"those disposed to help a good cause
would not be deferred from doing SO
by the fact that the officers Of the
Red Cross in Abbeville sometime
ago appropriated large amount of
the associations funds for the bene-
fit of a private institution under the
assurance that there was no further
need for Red Cross funds in Able
vile; should like to ask you to sub
stitute the word assumption" for
assurance"
At that time, as Home Service
Secretary of the Abbeville Chapter,
I assured" the officers of the chap
ter that there was a definite need
of continued work for the Red Cross
and supported the assurance" with
data to that effect. Assurance
was also given the officers by Miss
Annie Doty, Supervisor for South
Carolina, by Miss Elizabeth Ellis,
special agent for the Southern Divi-
sion, American Red Cross, and by
]. L. Mcmillan, of Atlanta, Manager
of the Southern Division. In spite Of
these Assurances" the officers "as>
sumed," "took it upon themselves"
to say there was no further need OF
the Red Cross work in Abbeville
County.
The officers of the local chapter
had a perfect right to close the
Home Service office if after a care
full and genuine investigation they
reached the conclusion that there
was no further service possible to
the soldiers active and discharged.
They were, within their jurisdic-
ton in discontinuing the Canteen
and Woman's work if they were

GERS seized two Greenwood cars at
LeRoy's Ferry loaded with liquor
and arrested seven men who were
in the cars. Three cars said to be

having no liquor they were not
seized. On account of the fact that
the officers are out of town today it
has been impossible to learn all the
facts. Two men are in Jail, it is un.

pected to appear in Abbeville tomor-
row when hearing will be had be-
fore the U. S. Commissioner.

men, who are said to have attempted
to break into Union Hall Wednesday
night. Sheriff C. w. Bluett, was
summoned to the scene, but the
crowd had largely dispersed before
his arrival.
Advices from sources friendly to
the company state that there was no
rioting The affair is said to be the
outgrowth of strikers and workers
for the company which took place a
day previous to the alleged riot
Both Coon and Schumacher have
been in the limelight on previous
occasions. Coon was concerned in
an encounter with several union men
last summer and was arrested but
found not guilty. Schumacher was
mixed up in an alteration some weeks
ago in Abel-Mullen's store with Neil
Crowns, Jr. and the two Browns, the
latter three men being arrested.

PAPER IS TOWNS
VERY BEST INVESTMENT

The editor in proportion to his
means does more for his home town
than any other ten men.
That was the estimate placed by
David R. Francis, ex-governor of
Missouri and until recently minister
to Russia. He estimates that each
year the local paper gives from $500
to $1,000 in free space to the COM
munity in which it is located. He
argues that a paper ought IN all
fairness be supported not because
you like the editor or admire his
writing but because the local paper
is the best investment a community
can make.
at may not be brilliantly edited
or crowded with thought but finan-
cially it is of more benefit to the
community than any one other ag-
ency Today the editors of local pap
ers do the most for the least money
of any people on earth"

GOOD PATRONAGE

Though the pessimists said it
couldn't be done, and that first
class cafe in Grand Rapids, espec-

losing venture. John Hartl went
ahead and put it over, and his place
which has been open some two weeks
is one of the bright spots on First
street n.
Practically ever since opening his
place business has been flowing IN
his direction, attracted by clean ser
vice, tasty food and with a good cup
of coffee on the side that hits the
spot. All at reasonable prices.
In addition to his restaurant trade
Mr.. Hartl is building up a fine foun-
tain trade and is serving all sorts OF
delicious sodas, sundaes and specials.
The owner is a live wire and IN
tends to run a place that is credit
to the city, and one where eating
will be an enjoyment and not habit.

VALENTINES DAY

Valentine day this year was not
The event it was in. days gone by
according to local dealers who usu-
ally handle that line of comic and
sender missives.
Many of the dealers did not stock
up at all, as the cost of valentines
is rather high this season and the
demand has been falling off for
some years past. The kiddies used
20 be great buyers of comics, and
some older people have been known
TO buy them to send as a joke. The
small boys were especially fond of
getting hold of some old chrome
depicting what was easily detected to
be school teacher. But youths
ideas of a joke have changed, and
the average pedagogues mail is no
longer burdened with these charace-
ortures on February 18th.

Satisfactory results attended the

during the sessions.
The principal speakers during
the session were II. W. Ullspurger

Hatch was in charge of the Women's

hall were Of great interest and were
one of the big features Of the meet
