A very pretty wedding took place
on Thursday afternoon at the beauti-
full home of Mr.. and Mrs ]. R. Sharpe
near Donalds, when their youngest
daughter, Lois Allene was welded to
Mr.. Robert Hayne Jones, of Ander-
son. The ceremony was performed in
the spacious hall, which was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion, and
was witnessed by large crowd Of
relatives and friends of both bride
and groom. Rev. J. M. Dallas, pastor
of the bride said the words that made
the happy pair, husband and wife.
The bride looked lovely in an attrac-
tive suit of navy blue, with acces-
sories to match and carried beauti-
full bouquet of brides roses and lilies
of the valley. The bride was attended
by Miss Annie Jones, sister of the
groom, and Miss Macie Sharpe. Miss
Jones looked beautiful in pink or
gandiejand carried large bouquet of
sweet peas. Miss Sharpe, sister of The
bride, was charming il green crgan-
die and also carried sweet peas.
Mrs. Clyde Sharp. of Erownlee,
sang with much telling 20 Perfect
Love" just before the ceremony and
sweet strains of music sounded dur
ing the service. At the close of the
ceremony, the guests repaired to the
dining-room where the happy bride
and groom received the hearty good
wishes and congratulations Of the
large company present.
Delicious block cream and cake
was served to the guests by num-,
Der of the girls of the younger set,
who looked like fairies in their pref
ty frocks. Mints were also served.
Amid showers or ~lce ana good
wishes, Mr.. and Mrs. Jones ieft by
auto for the mountains of North Car
clina where the honeymoon will be
spent, and on their return they will
Dc at home to their friends in Ander-

beautiful presents.

THE HOUSING PROBLEM

There are not enough houses in
Abbeville. People cannot come here
to make their homes unless they
build in advance of their coming.
This they will not do. The growth 0
the city is being retarded because Of
the fact that no houses are being
built here.
Unfortunately we have no con-
Germs here engaged in the building
business. We have two lumber yards
which are stocked with building ma
terials, but they do not engage in the
building business. For that reason it
is exceedingly difficult to get a
house built when once a person has
determined to build, and it is ex-
ceedingly expensive.
Chambers of Commerce and Devel-
opment Boards will not solve the
problem which is before us for solu-
tion. The best solution which has
been offered the problem comes from
Col. T. G. White, one of the foremost
of the business men of the city. He
proposes that as large a number Of
men as will go into the enterprise
form a home building corporation
and engage in the construction Of
homes for sale. Such company, he
says, land we believe he knows what
he is talking aSout) can buy lumber
at wholesale prices and other build
ing materials the same way, and
houses may be built in Abbeville
and sold to those seeking homes at
prices much lever than the same
houses may be built for by private
parties, and at the same time with a
fair profit to investors.
The plan appeals to US as being
workable and very advisable for
adoption. No better man could head
the movement than Mr.. White him.
self. His interest would assure en-,
terprise and business methods in the
handling of the corporation, as well
as the speedy building of homes, now
very much in demand.
The Press and Banner offers to
take stock in the enterprise and we
believe that fifty thousand dollars
can be raised within an hour on the
public square to put the proposition
across. We said few days ago that
the Chamber of Commerce would die
unless there was work for it to do.
Here is work. Let the officers name
a subscription committee for this pro-,
posed corporation and let them get
busy. More houses mean more pee,
pie for Abbeville, more people mean
more business, more, business means
more profits, and more profits are
what we are after.
We can build ten houses in the
next ninety days if we will get busy
and everyone of them can be sold.
The Building and Loan Associations
are anxious to handle leans on prop
erty of this kind where reasonable
cash payment is made, and any per-
son can borrow enough money these
DAYS to make the cash payment.

You can't keep a good man down
nor a good town. That is why we re-
ioice that Due West-the best place
in all this world-has at last been
recognized by the Government at
Washington as the one spot in this
great region of country where the
record can be fairly kept of how the
winds are blowing in the heavens
above US. There is nothing in the
earth below nor in the waters under
the earth but only in the heavens
above that can be compared with
that little village in the upland
country of South Carolina.

Abbeville is making progress and
generally in the right direction. The
Press and Banner announces that
the Jackson-Jones Cotton Company
has been organized there with c. D.
Jackson, who was until last Fall
stationed at Pacolet and Ware
Shoals, where he did the buying for
Pacolet Mills" and w. E. Jones,
who is spoken of by the P, and B.
as "Bill," the chief hero of Able
villeS having won the Distinguished
Service Cross, the Croix de Guerra
etc., while serving with the fighting
Thirtieth Division in Flanders in
the title roles. We are also inform
ed by the same authority that T. G
Perrin, Clerk of the City Council
on Vital Statistics, has officially de-
i cldTGu LIldI lllIecH UeluiSS WIN
born in Abbeville during the month
: of May, of which ten were white
and only five colored, and that dur
ing the present year there were six
ty additions to the population by
what is called natural increase.
Another note of great interest
made by the P. and B., and which
has very distinct bearing on the
progress of the town is that Major
Fulp, the Superintendent of the
City Public Schools, and Will Barn
we'll, a vestryman in the Episcopal
Church, attended services in the
Seceder Church last Sunday. All OF
which goes to show that Abbeville
is still force to be reckoned with
in the business, social and religion!

The Initiative and Referendum

We have heard a good deal in polit- ical life about the Initiative and ref erendum, but there has not been very much concerning it published in re- gard to economic affairs of the coun- try. Nevertheless it is quite probable that more real progress has been made in this direction in the indus trial than in the political world. This
 is illustrated by the fact that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has just submitted referendum number B to the local business orga- nizations throughout the country, which will vote upon the report of the Committee on Public Utilities of the National Chamber regarding local
