beautiful things of love. They end
where they begin with nothing
much but hope.
A test of love, which you seem
to crave is utter folly. Centur-
les ago there was a foolish lady
who threw her glove down into a
cage of lions to see whether her
lover cared enough for her to jump
in and get it. The lover was a
true knight of old. He restored
the lady's glove and then he bade
her a hasty and not over-fond
adieu. He dared not tarry longer
at the side of a lady whose vanity
and egotism were so great that she
was willing to risk his life to sat
isfy it. Many a maid of today
can take a leaf from the notebooks
of ladies long dead and gone and
profit considerably thereby.

today regarding Mrs, MacSwiney's ab-
sence from the bedside when death
occurred he replied by saying the re-
strictions which were recently impos-
ed upon the visits of relatives were
urged by the attending physicians as
vital to therprisoner's own interests.
Terrence Macswiney was forty years
old and was one Of the most promi-
rent Sim Feiners. He started life as
draper's assistant, but became a
poet, author and playwright before
taking up politics seriously. Later he
became violently anti English.
While in Wakefield Jail, Yorkshire,
in 1915, he met. Muriel Murphy,
daughter of a wealthy Cork distillet,
who visited the Jail and shortly after
they were married, despite much op-
position. MacSwiney was elected as Q
sinn Fein member from Cork to the
British parliament in 1918; but never
took his scat. He was present at the
first session. of the Irish parliament in
1919, when the establishment of the
republic was confirmed, and was
elected lord mayor of Cork in 1920.
For various political offenses,.,; he
had been in Jail, with brief intervals
of liberty, since January 1915 and
in October 1912, secured his release
from Jail by hunger striking. 9,

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
New York, Worldly


To the members of the American
Bankers Association, in annual con.
vention at Washington, Secretary OF
Agriculture Meredith has taken the
complaint of farmers that they are
being denied banking credit to an
unreasonable extent. -.
That is the proper place to 60 with
such@a complaint, and the federal re-
serve board is not the proper place,
The federal reserve banks do not
lend money directly to farmers OF
other individual borrowers. They deal
only with member banks, through
which alone the reserve system
reaches farmers and other borrow.
ers. '~s ! :
If it is then true, as charged by
Secretary Meredith, that farmers
"have been denied credit for essen
tial purposes while producers of ex-
pensive luxuries have been accom-
modated," the accusation lies against
the local or home banks, whether
members of the reserve system or
not. If, as charged, farmers coop
erative associations are meeting with
bank opposition and discrimination
instead Of help, the blame falls upon
the banks of the neighborhood and
not ppon federal reserve banks or the
federal reserve board. " .
There exists plenty Of money and
credit for the use of farmers in the
gradual marketing of their crops. If
they are not getting it and cannot
get it for this wholly legitimate pur-
pose, the local banks are exactly
where they should go. to learn the

GOOD COMMUNITIES.

Which Of the communities of Able
vile County are most desirable for
the establishment of homes? If the
man from the outside were about to
move to this county, into which COM
munity would he go?
Well, thoughtful man will say
that he would like to live near Due
West, Donalds, Lowndesville or Alb
beville, if he sought to be near one
of the towns of the county. And i
he desired to settle in farming sec
tion he would go to the Antreville
section, or to the Campbell section.
And why? Because in these COM
munities; the people have voted takes
sufficient, Mlahmeasufe2 to operate
goodsschools. They. have built modern
school houses; and they seek to, EN-
ploy good teachers and to run their
schools for a period long enough to
guarantee good work. They have
caught the spirit of progress.
Yes, taxes are high in these COM
munities. But the lands are higher in
them than anywhere else in the coun-
ty. It is harder to get home in one
of these communities than elsewhere
because they are all taken. The hous-
es are of better construction and have
more modern conveniences. The peo-
pie do not mind paying little more
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-10-27

taxes (and the taxes do not amount
to much more than in other districts)
because they work with more intelli-
gence, in a better satisfied spirit, and
they really love to do something to
make the community in which they
| live worth while. You do not hear
the people from these communities
quarreling about high taxes, it is the
man from a community without a
special tax for schools who quarrels
with the government, quarrels about
his taxes, quarels about the preach
er's salary, quarrels about the cost
of books for his children and then
quarrels with his neighbors, if they
show a disposition to do better by
the community. F., -.
It is ignorance and prejudice which
is keeping other communities in Alb
neville County from having 4good
schools in all the districts. We say it
is ignorance because the people who
refuse to vote special taxes have not
gone into those communities which
have good schools and seen there the
evidences of progress, happiness, re-
finement and culture which the good
schools are bringing with them.
Were they to go and see how much
more valuable a good school renders
the homes and the lands in the COM
munity where it is erected, we imag-
inc that from selfshness, if from moth
ing else, the people in the unfortunate
communities would be disposed to
take q. step forward. e.. -,
We are glad to see that SO many
of the districts in the county do levy
special taxes for the support OF the
schools. When we remember that it
has been only few years since the
practice of voting special taxes in
rural sections was commenced it is
gratifying to know that the people
are gradually, if slowly, awakening
to the benefits of good schools. The
past summer a good many school dis
tricts have voted enough taxes to re-
ceive state aid. May we not hope that
with another year the people will
have awakened still further to their
own interests, and to the welfare Of
the public, to which we are all $50
much indebted, if we would only
think, and that the work soshappily
begun may proceed in this eounty.
We are far and away behind other
counties, remember that, and we
must catch up before we are in the
running. We have won our own place
of being a backward and improbable
people in matters Of education, and
if we would get rid of our reputation,
we must rid, ourselves of it. 3:

ABOUT HIGH PRICED LAND.

What will the people DO VINO nave
bought the high-priced land? This
is question which is propounded to
US every day, not that we bought
much of it, nor that the people are
concerned about how much we
bought, but because there must be
something to talk about, and certain
people are wondering whether the
price of lands will stay up, OF. wheth-
er it will come down with conse-
quent loss to those who bought last
year when the boom was on.
We think the people vino have
bought the high-priced lands, if they
are high-priced, will keep them. At
least, most Of them will keep what
they have bought. They have paid as
much as one,fourth or one-third Of
the purchase price and the purchased
land is certainly, under any view of
the matter, worth more than the debt
against it. But will they make money
: out of the lands at the prices at
which the different plantations have
been bought? Not, we answer, if the
people who bought the lands move to-
town, sit around the cotton curb,
.whittle sticks, talk hard, times, and
allow negroes to rent the lands at
standing rent" and allow the lands
\ to wash away. s.
And just here is where the high
priced lands will prove worthwhile.
Instead Of lands at ten dollars an
acre which might be rented to ten
ants, whom the landlord saw but
. once Of twice year, the landlords
!; who have their money in the lands at
!; high prices, will give some attention
to farming the lands. The lands will
be improved. The. crops will be fertil.
lied. The tenants will be taught hoy
{ to farm, and farming will take on a
new interest in this section. One
thousand pounds of lint cotton is nc
return for a farm which costs three
thousand five hundred dollars. But il
the owner of the land, works it on
shares, or by wages hands, and can
make twelve bales of cotton, he car
pay large fertilizer bill, keep uI
his repairs, pay interest on the money
invested and all other expenses and
have little left to buy the children
toys at Christmas. %g.- ~
Yes, one of the good results which
will come from high-priced lands will
be the taking Of the lands out of the
hands Of the people who have not coll-
tributed much to farming in. this sec
ton and turning these lands over to
people who know how to farm, are
not afraid to think and work, and
who believe in doing something be-
sides sitting around town complain
ing about the government and finding
fault with last Sundays sermon.

M'SWINEY SUcCUMBS TO
. HUNGER STRIKE ON 73RD DAY
Began His Hunger Strike on Angus.
18th, The Longest Known to the
Medical World-Heart Fail
ure Given as Cause
f, Of Death. =,


London, Oct. 25-(By The Associ-
sted Press.)-Terence MecSwiney,
lord mayor of Cork, died at Brixton
prison this city, at $40 O'Clock this
morning. His death followed a hunger
strike of more than 73 days, eclipsing
any in the annals of the, medical
world. o. s - ~.
MacSwiney, who had been uncon-'
scious for several days, did not recov-
er his faculties before he died. Father
Dominic, his private chaplain, and his
brother, John NacSwney, were with
him when the end came. Father
Dominic was at the prison all night
and did not leave until several hours
after MacSwiney breathed> his last.
John MacSwiney and the chaplain,
who. had been waiting downstairs in
the prison were told by prison Off
cials at ABS o'clock that they should
20 to the mayors bedside, as they
thought death was approaching. The
brother asked for the privilege of
communicating with other relatives
who were not present, but the ofici-
ais, it is said, refused him the use of
q telephone. z T., ~. i - ,l5 81
After the prisoner'sIdeath, his bro:
ther and the chaplain were, not per-
mitted to leaye Brixton prison until
Sis o'clock. John Macswiney i'm
mediately conveyed word to the Wild
ow of the lord mayor, who was stay
ing at a West End hotel with Mr.. and
Mrs. O'Brien, the former being the
London executive of the Irish Self
Determination League.
Mrs. MacSwiney accompanied by
her parents and the Misses Annie, and
Mary MacSwiney, sisters Of the lord
mayor arrived at Brixton- prison at
9:30 o'clock. y,
It is understood arrangements are
being made to take the body to Ire
land for burial. IS - = z
News of MacSwiney's death had
| not become known lin the, district a.
round Brixton prison until after nine
o'clock. The usual large contingent Of
police was on duty inside the prison
grounds to prevent any denonstra-
tion,, but outside and along the road
leading to the, main highway, there
were no unusual signs Of activity.
No civilians were waiting there, as
they usually did in the early days Of
| the lord mayors hunger strike /.
| It is probable the inquest will be
held at the prison today, after which
the body will be turned over TO rela-
| tives. ~ -. -. ...- ;lta.!f &,
MacSwiney was unconscious for
thirty-six hours before his death oc-
CURED it is stated, Father Dominic,
therefore, was unable to. give him the
Hast sacrament, but. he administered
extreme JUNCTION.
The cause Of MaeSwiney's death
was heart failure, according to a
statement issued at the home office.
This statement is considered an indi-
rect answer to the criticism Of DR..
Josiah Oldfeld, the physician and
publicist who had declared it was
wrong for the lord mayors doctors to
| administer meat juice and brandy.
He said brandy was poison and that
man at the point Of death was very
susceptible to poison. DR.. Oldfeld ad-
ded that what he could endure was
fruit juice. s.3i ~
