J. M. HILL TRANSFERRED.

J. NJ Hill of the United States geo.

Washington to the surveys Office in San
Francisco. where he will be associated
with Charles G. Yale. Mr.. Hills field of
geological studies will include the Pacific
coast states and to some extent also
Arizona and Nevada. The desirability
of having a geologist attached to the
San Francisco Office has long been felt,
for many requests for examinations and
report are received, to meet which would
require the sending of federal geolo-
gist across the continent.

1t has two sky-scrapers and other
enterprises, but if you asked a Green
wod man today what two things IN
his town were worth most to the COM
munity he would tell you Lander
College and Bailey Military School.
Anderson has many cotton mills,
and many other paying enterprises.
But if you asked an Anderson man
for the thing which contributes most
to the town he would tell you Ander-
son College.
In the same way The Greenville
College for Women and Furman Uni
versity make Greenville, as Wofford
College and Converse College make
Spartanburg.
Abbeville has no such institutions
as these, but we may have if we have
a mind to obtain them. Will we take
advantage of our opportunity?

THE TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION

The tractor demonstration at the
farm of Col. W. E. Leslie, last We'd
nesday was a great success and of
much value to the farmers of the
county who are interested in these
modern machines for preparation of
the soil. Five tractors were exhibited,
and their work demonstrated. They
were the Twin City, Cletrac, Ford
son, Moline and Samson. Col. Leslie
furnished about ten acres of good
land for the demonstration and when
it was over, his land was in first class
condition.
The demonstration was in charge
of County Agent Rowell, who is TAX
ing great interest in matters per-
tanning to good farming in this coun-
ty, and it's success is due to his ef-
forts.

TWO FOOTBALL GAMES.

Two football games in which the
readers of this paper will be interest
ed are to be played today.
The big game is between Clemson
and Erskine. The game will be played
at Clemson on Riggs Field commenc-
ing at 4:10 this afternoon. This is
the beginning of the college games
in the South, but several other games
are to be played tomorrow.
The Clemson boys have been at
work for several days. 1t IS stated
that they are not yet in first class
shape, but they are ready for the
fray. The Erskine eleven have been
at work too, Phillips the last years
Erskine star is in the game again this
year, and there are several other good
Mayers it is stated: The Erskine boys
have a new coach and it is expected
that the showing this year will be
much better than the showing last
year.
The other football game to be play
ed today is, however, of great deal
more interest to the small boys about
town than the Clemson-Erskine game.
1t is the game to be played this af-
ternoon at the ball park between
Abbeville Hi and the Due West High
School boys. Coach Swetenburg has
had the boys hard at work since the
Elberton game, and they have learn
ed a lot of new tricks, we are told.
They expect to trim Due West up in
proper style. The game starts at 4.30.
1t is hoped that the people of the
town will turn out to see the game
and give the boys the helping hand of
their presence and cheers.

has taken place, without one word in
behalf of the grower by whose work
many people, even many cotton gam
blers in the South, as we'll as through
out the rest of the world, are being
enriched.
To people who rejoice that the
grower has so little power of co-or-
Gination and cooperation as to save
himself from destruction because the
wives and the children do much Of
the work in the field we commend the
following statement from an article
written by Mr.. Bradford Knapp,
Chief of the Extension Work (South)
of the United States Department of
published in the Manu-
facturers Record last October:
"I know that the world wants cheap
cotton to clothe it's nakedness, but
may God forgive the man who wants
it at the price Of women's labor and
children's labor in the cotton fields.
Those of US who have loved the South
because of it's possibilities, who have
realized the wrongs of it's past history
and who have devoted long days,
months and years of hard work to
help solve it's difficulties and intricate
problems in order that it might be a
stronger, safer and better agricul-
tural part of this great nation, have
dreamed of a change of economic
conditions which would put the
Southern farm woman on a better
basis in her relation to production
and the farm home"
And to that we would like to add
a statement which appeared in the
editorial columns of the Manufacture
ers Record of October 2, 1919, and
we heartily commend these two state
ments to all who, have no word of
pity and sympathy for the women
and children in the cotton fields, but
who do all in their power to prevent
the price which would take the wom-
en- and children out of the cotton
field. The quotation from the edito-
rial of October 2, 1919, to which we
invite the attention of all Southern,
Northern or European people who are
as to whether the grow
er gets a paying price for his cotton
and we wish that we had COM
mand of the English language suffi-
cient to make the statements as
follows:
every man who seeks to break
down the price of cotton is to the ex-
tent of his ability and influence striv-
ing to impoverish the cotton grower,
to keep small children in the cotton
field instead of in school, and to keep
hundreds of thousands of women at
work in the fields instead of caring
for their homes, their husbands and
their children; he is striving, consci-
ously or unionsriously, to keep mil
Ions of people in the slavery of pow
erty and ignorance more desperate
by far than the slavery Of the black
man prior to the Civil War. Every
every cotton factor,
every speculator who seeks to bear
the cotton market is guilty of a
crime which in this day is more cul-
pable than was the trade of the slave
driver in olden days."

just because he asks you for it. Be
ready for him and glibly inform him
that you've lost your last cent at the
races.
Don't argue with a motor truck. 1t

Don't put off eating till food prices
come down. You are liable to get
too thin to cast a shadow.
Don't return that book which you
borrowed last fall. The owner may
not be able to stand the shock.

WHAT NExT7

This was the subject of the pleas
ing address delivered to the gradu-
ating class Of the Mt. Sterling High
Schaal in the school chapel on Tues
day evening by Rev. ]. l.. Clark. A
large and appreciative audience was
present. The speaker congratulated
the class on their attainments and
impressed the thought that educa-
tio( well applied filled many wants
of the day. The application as made
by the speaker portrayed master
minds tutored and trained so that
the perplexing questions of the
period were discussed and solved
correctly. Only trained men and
women attain heights of usefulness
and inspired to go- into broader
fields with the book as their guide
he pronounced His blessings on each
and every one. 1t was a very fine
address and was appreciated by all
who heard the distinguished preacher.

Shades Of George Washington,

Abraham Lincoln and Grover Cleve-
land, The Chicago city council has
granted permission for the erection
Of a skyscraper 70 a height Of 26O
feet. 4 restriction to 200 feet had
been enforced for nine years. but the
irsane Or Internal DrOgressives of
Chicago insisted that a rule made
nine wears ago was not binding on the
Chicago men or builders Of today.
One bv one our precious liberties are
sandbagged by those who refuse TO
stand still. Thomas Jefferson never
saw a skyscraper. Skyscrapers were
unknown in the days Of Abraham
Lincoln. Isn't it a crime TO build
them? Isn't it an insult to the build
ers of a hundred years ago? Why

Sick Tobacco Beds

The College Of Agriculture, Lex
fngton, Ky, has been receiving quite
q number Of diseased tobacco plants
in the last few days. Some Of the
tobacco growers thought the rea-
son for the plants whiting and dying
was due to the cold, wet spring. How
ever, investigation shows that in a
great many instances this trouble
Of tobacco plants was brought about
by the disease commonly known as
root-rot. Since tobacco has always
been comparatively free from disease
this trouble is becoming alarming in
some sections where in instances
whole beds have been destroyed in
less than a weeks time. In order to
prepare for next season ii is going
to be necessary for the growers to
handle their plant beds according to
improved methods as to sterilization,
and the kind of seed sown in order
to expect to have good healthy plants
to transplant in the field. Tobacco
growers are urged to cooperate with
the College Of Agriculture in this
matter. If you are having trouble this
season and will get in communica-
ton with the College of Agriculture
they will be glad to help you in any
possible vay.

And still there has been no move
to dissolve the restraining order
under which the voters Of Montgom-
cry are denied the right Of having a
vote on the proposed bond issue.
The reason set forth in the pefi-
ton praying for this injunction is
that the petition asking that an cleo
ton be called did not specify mac
adam. Does anyone believe for a
moment that the opponents of the
bond issue intend to be understood
as seriously ccntending that the pro-
posed new construction be of mac
adam, a type of construction con-
demned by the Fiscal Court as use
less and a waste Of money. More
over, the construction will be wholly
under the direction of the State. and
Of course the State viii not undertake
to construct permanent type Of roads
with macadam.
Most opponents of the bond Issue
concede that it VIII carry when it
gets to a vote.
Again the question is asked. what
potent influence is it that thus denies
the people the right of petition and
opportunity to say whether OF not
they shall have the bond issue.
Three weeks ago the promise was
made to The Advocate that immedi-
ate steps would be taken to dissolve
the restraining order. Why has this
not been done7
Are the people of Montgomery
going TO stand for thisf

I; is doubtful if the history of our
National government gives an in
stance of more shameless PARTISAN
ship than that exhibited by the ma
jority on the House Ways and Means

part in its conferences. When the Sol
der Bonus Bill was drafted no Dem

after it was reported out, when, not
vithstsnding it ought to have been

the worst sort. When the minority IS
not alleged to be present at the draft
ing Of an appropriation bill, to say
nothing Of having a voice in its prep
aration, and the whole people must
contribute 10 the revenues, it is taxa
ton without representation, which l.
the first rudiment Of tyranny. Dem
Ocratic and Republican soldiers
fought side by side in the war and fell
