ONLY A SUGGESTION.

1t is not true that the men in Alb
beville who believed and still be-
We've that the election of Harding for
president was more. advisable and
letter for the country than the elec-
ton of Cox are men whose political
ambitions have ended ' in disappoint-
ment. Most of the men who have ex-
pressed such an opinion in our hear
ing are business men who are inter-
ested in the welfare Of the country,
who do not desire and would not ac-
cept office. To say otherwise does
them an injustice.
If the republican party in the fu-
ture is to house those whose political
ambitions have not been gratified,
we suggest that Col. E. C. Horton,
of the Abbeville Medium, Woodrow
Wilson, of the White House, and most
of the democrats who sought office
in the late election are entitled to ac-
commodations.

down the road to give it to one of his
lady friends. He had a start of about
hundred yards en- Dote when the
fish merchant discovered him, but
forgetting the ninety and nine other
fine fishes, Dote went after the one
which the dog had. And the dog
didn't get far until Dote ran past
him grabbed the fish and landed it
safely back in the barrel.
A member of the City Council who
witnessed this burst of speed saw
then that the days of the speeder
were over in Abbeville. Reporting it
to the Mayor meeting of Council
was called, and in less time than it
takes to tell it, Dote was made Serg.
Smith, No. 7, and that he now is. Dote
would not take the oath of office the
day he was elected because no pre-
parations had been made for the oc-
casion, so he was not inaugurated
until the following morning, the in
auguration ceremonies being short
but impressive. Number Seven was
in waiting in the Office of the Mayor,
and at the special request of the hon
ored one, he was escorted before the
full Council by Alderman Henry,
who looks so much like Dote, the
Council acknowledging his presence
by rising. When Dote had been seated
the members were likewise seated.
Mayor Mars then arose and in few
we'll chosen and wise sounding words
announced the unanimous selection
of Col. Smith as official speedef
catcher for the city, pinned on his
many "chist," the badge of Office,
gave him bottle of buzzard grease
to keep him supple, and told him to
60 after them. Dote in acknowledge
ment of the honor conferred upon
him, replied as follows: 81 will ketch
evry dam one of them"
Watch your step, and keep your
eye peeled for Number Seven.

THE SMITHS

The Smiths had bad luck Tuesday.
Governor Smith Of New York was
defeated for reelection, though he
ran 100000 ahead of the presiden-
tial ticket.
Senator John Walter Smith of
Maryland, one Of the leaders of the
party, was defeated for reelection.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
was defeated for reelection; but
there are not so many tears shed for
that.
And we believe there was another
Senator Smith defeated Marcus
Aurelius, of the state of Altoona,
whose home is at which,
some say is the lodest town in Am
erica.
Our own Smith Ellison -DuRant-
was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority and he was the only Smith in
the senate that escaped shipwreck.

DEATH OF MRS. LATIMER.

Mrs. Emma Cozby Latimer, widow
of the late James T. Latimer, of
Lowndesville, died in this city Monday
evening, November 9th, at 10 o'clock
after eighteen months intense suf-
fering from fatal malady. Death
came to her at the home of her sister,
Mrs. J. H. Latimer, where she made
her home in recent years.
Before her first marriage, Mrs.
Latimer was Miss Emma Cozby of
this county. She was first married to
Mr.. Eugene Moore, who died while
she was still young woman. After
eight years of widowhood, during
which time she lived with her sister,
Mrs. ]. H. Latimer, she became the
wife of Mr.. James T. Latimer, of
Lowndesville. After her last marri-
age she made her home at Lowndes-
vile, and it was a hospitable home
she had, place where friends gath
cred and were entertained and where
everybody felt better for having gone
to it and for having known her.
Mrs. Latimer was for many years
a member of the Methodist Church
in Lowndesville. She was an enthusi-
astic worker for the church, a. a.wom-
an of a high Christian character,
whose good sense and interest in 9TH
ers made for her usefulness to her
pastor and the congregation of which
she was a member. She was a mother
indeed to the boys of Mr.. Latimer's
first marriage, so much so that many
of the people who went to her home
on different occasions did not know
but that they were her own.
Since the death of her husband
Mrs. Latimer for the most part has
made her home here with her sister.
Besides this sister, she is survived by
Mrs. A. B. C. Dorsey, of Gainesville,
Ca, and Mrs. V. R. Thornton, of At
lanta. Mrs. Thornton and a niece,
Miss Leone McG>ughey, of Atlanta,
were with her when the end came.
Funeral services were conducted
today at IL o'clock in the Methodist
Church at LowndesviHe by her pas
tor, assisted by Rev. C. E. Peele, of
the Abbeville Methodist Church. A
large concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives accompanied the family
to Le:wndesville to attend the funeral
and to see the body of their friend
consigned to it's last resting place.
The interment was in old Smyrna
cemetery, near Lowndesville.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

Col. R. W. Smith is now Number
Seven, commencing with big ESP
; and ending with a big "N". This
means that he has been appointed one
of the city's "foinest," and he is out
tc catch speeders.
The truth is that the present force
finds it hard to keep up with the
speeders. Mr.. Johnson is slightly Grip
pied, Mr.. .Eakin is a little old, and it
takes Mr.. McLane good while to
lock around, so the speeders say,
and they have had difficulty in ar
resting the speed fends. 1t is true
that Mr.. Eakin has done good service
for the city in seeing that everybody
has proper lights on their cars, and
that he stops speeders downtown,
when he discovers them, as do the 9TH
ell members of the police force-that
is Mr.. Eakin has stopped all of them
out one, and that was pretty young
lady at whom he waved his walking
stick, and who not knowing the mean
ing waved her pretty hand back at
him, telling a companion, "That po-
liceman is too old man to be flirting
with me, he ought to be ashamed of
himself"
Taking cognizance of the fact that
too big a job is placed on the small
force here to handle these speeders
on the side streets and far out in
town, the City Council has been look
ing for motorcycle officer for
sometime who would be willing to try
to outrun the speeders and arrest
them. They did not find one, no mo-
torcyclist around here being willing
to ruin his reputation by being out
run by some of our swiftest young
men and ladies.
But a man who could outrun any
kind of car, either Packard, Ly-
mousine, Tin-pan Nancy, or other
"best mule" has been found and he
was found in this way. Col. Smith
has just opened his barrel of fish last
Friday when George Godfrey's big
dog capped one of them and started

sumo the editorial management of the

sumo the editorial management OF the
paper, which he did. The paper was
changed from semi-weekly to a tri-
weekly paper which increased it's
value to the readers, and which en-
abled US to give better service to the
people who patronized us.
And the people have not been slow
to show their appreciation of bet
ter paper. The subscription list which
as stated, stood at 660 twelve months
ago, since that time has shown
steady growth and after purging the
{ lists of the names of those in arrears
at the end of the past month, we
find now that we are sending the pa
per and delivering it to more than
900 persons who are paying for it in
advance or on delivery. Each month
in that time our lists have shown a
larger number of subscribers. Even
the month of October, when money
has been unprecedently scarce, ad-
ded new names to our lists and en-
abled US to show an increase over
September.
The Press and Banner now has the
largest subscription list Of the papers
published in Abbeville. Whereas, the
other paper, when we took over the
Press and Banner had according to
the statement of the editor a list of
around HOO, which was later in
creased by voting contest to sever
al hundred more, and we then had
less than half the subscribers we now
have, we have gained enough to put
US in the lead, while the other paper
has lost enough subscribers to put it
in the rear.
These facts we believe to be of in
terest to the supporters of this paper
and to the people who pay their mon
ey to US for advertising space. 1t is
due them to know that the Press and
Banner is read by more people in Alb
beville County than any other gener-
al advertising medium which is pub-
lished or circulated in the county,
and they may judge whether it is to
their interest to continue to patron
ize a paper which, every month shows
growing subscription list and which
carries their messages to more and
more people as the months pass.
There is another consideration
which should be noticed. A paper
which has a growing subscription list
is evidently more eagerly and thor
oughly read by the people who take
it than one with list which either
does not grow, or which is falling off.
A paper which is read is worth much
mere to advertisers than one which
is not read, we take it. The fact that
The Press and Banner is read by more
and more people in the county each
month indicates, or should indicate
to advertisers, that it is the proper
medium through which to reach the
people of this county who trade with
the advertisers:

LOWEST PRICES IN FOUR YEARS

Chicago, Nov. 10-Lowest prices in
four years prevailed today for all op-
ticns of wheat, corn and oats on the
Chicago board of trade. The new
prices represented declines of six to
seven cents for wheat and two or
three for corn and oats under yes
terday's prices. Wheat was 33 to 80
cents lower today than it was week
ago and corn quotations were less
than one-half what they were six
months age. The December option
in wheat closed today at LIT to 1.78;
December corn, 78 cents and Decem-
ber oats, 49 cents.
Coincident with the low prices in
wheat came announcement from Min
neapolis millers of declines in fam
lily patents to new low points, the
price dropping below $10'a barrel for
the first time in nearly four years.
Lower corn prices were followed by
declines in pork" finished corn"
heavy receipts, aggregating 100000
animals in ten markets, were declar-
ed to be one of the causes of the
decline in pork.
Weakness of the wheat prices was
ascribed by some brokers to reports
that Kansas bankers were consider
ing the question of curtailing cred
it's, which, if done, might force Kan
sas wheat on the market, it was
said. Later reports quoted the Kan
sas bank commissioner as saying
that, while some banks were over
loaned, there would be no blanket
order for curtailment of loans, but
that each banks situation would be
considered on it's merits. The bank
commissioner joined J. C. Mohler, Sec
retary Of the state board of agricul-
ture in declaring there was no
strike" of Kansas farmers to hold
wheat for higher prices.

A YEARS RECORD.

The building of a subscription list,
that is in reality subscription list,
by country newspaper is no mean
Job for any man. 1t is true that in re-
cent years some newspapers have OBJ
tanned a large number of names on
their lists by running contests and
in other ways, but we do not call
these bona 6de subscription lists,
mainly for the reason that large num-
bers of people in such contests, in
order to. help some candidate, pay
the subscription price for paper for
one or two years when they have
never done so for the paper itself.
Another reason why we have never
favored the contest route to sub
scription list is that it takes all the
money which comes in to pay for the
contest and the newspaper is to that
extent crippled (and country news
papers are easily crippled, especially
in hard times) and the newspaper
running a contest is by the amount
paid for the contest management just
that much less able to give its read
ers a good paper. In other words the
money which should 60 into the pa
per to make it real newspaper
goes to the contest managers, and
there is that much less to spend for
the readers of the paper.
When the present owners of The
Press and Banner took charge of the
plant we found ourselves burdened
with a great many subscribers many
years behind in their payments on
subscription. The Press and Banner
with a little experience soon knew
that these were not in fact subscrib-
ers worth while either to it, or to the
people who advertised in our columns.
We began pruning them down, and
by the time the war came on and the
government required that >all sub
scriptions be put on a cash-in-advance
basis, we had no subscriber more
than a year in arrears. We were even
then contemplating the very step
which the government required of all
newspapers-going on a cash-in-ad-
vance basis. We welcomed the change.
When that requirement came to US,
the Press and Banner had something
more than 825 subscribers. In going
on a cash-in-advance basis, we lost
some of our subscribers, and our list
went below the 700 mark. However,
the numbers began to grow slowly
but gradually and by May 1919, we
had a subscription list of 735.
At that time on account of the
amount of work entailed on the, edi-
tor of the paper, he deemed it neces-
sary to employ an editor for the pa
per, and to turn the editorial man.
agement of the paper over to some
one else. Due to the views of the new
editor which were at variance with
the views of the former and present
editor and to other causes for which
Hc3cdy is blamed, the subscription
list of the paper by November 1919
when purged of those names in ar
rears at the end of the month had
gone down to $50. The present edi-
tor of the paper believed then that it
was advisable for him to again as

away by Aed cavalry raiders. Kill
patrick's home is in Alabama.
The State Departments inquiry
was instituted as fesult of a Bolshe-
vik report emanating from Moscow
on Nov. 6 to the effect that the Reds
had captured the "American mission
headed by General Morell."
There is no American officer of that
name in Russia, the State Department
announcement says, and the sup
posed capture of Atechny and Kill
patrick is believed to be the basis of
the Moscow report.
