PLENTY OF COAL
AT WATER WORKS

Moline water works with 155 tons
Of coal on hand today has little
to fear this winter. Both labor and
coal are plentiful at the present
time and difficulties which threat
ened the plant q few weeks ago
seem to have disappeared.
Foremost among these was the
order of the railroads demanding
increased rates or immediate un-
loading OF coal cars left on the
tracks. The water works officials
could not afford to pay the higher
rates and at that time there was
little labor on hand to do the work
Plenty of men are willing to work
now, officials say.

stantial, the metal signs are all right
as far as they go, but they don't go
far. The directions which once were
stamped on their faces are Now only
memories and many travl.ers have
learned by bitter experience that all
roads in this county 10 not lead to

Editor, Abbeville Press and Banner,
Abbeville, S. C.
Dear Sir:
Have just had brought to my at
tention your statement in The Alb
beville Press and Banner of July
21st, entitled "An Explanation
Due" Until I received this state
ment, l was under the impression
that one of the. party assisting with
the Abbeville meeting had made an
explanation of my absence, which
was due to the fact that a wreck on
the Blue Ridge Railway prevented
trains running. knowledge of this
wreck reached me too late for me to
make other arrangements. / regret
very much missing the Abbeville
meetings.
: This explanation holds good for
Mr.. b. Harris also as he was at
Pendleton. The enclosed copy Of
Mr. J. A. Evans received after the
mssting in ,Abbeyille explains why
he was unable to attend. Il am very
glad that under: the circumstances
we. had someone o speak:;to each of
the three objects Of the campaign,
viz, organization, warehouses and
cotton graders. '~"~I /,
Answering you Of my@best wishes
and thanking you for your coopera-
Gon, am, %".Ik
Very truly yours, ~,'...
D. w. Watkins,
Asst. Director Extension.

SIGN YOUR NAME.

Frequently during the past month
we have received stems =. of news
through Hhe ailstadm various COM
munities> throughout the county. We
are always glad and eager to get the
accounts of the doings of the people
throughout the county but we are
just as eager to know that the &C
counts we get are bona tide and that
somebody is not trying to play joke
on somebody else by sending in news
items which have never happened
and in some cases never will happen.
Particularly does this apply 20 marri-
ages. We are not hankering after
any suits for libel and we do not
care to make incorrect statements in
these columns. Therefore we abso-
lutely refuse to publish any items
sent to US that do not have the sigma
ture of the writer at the conclusion
of the article. We do not believe any
attempts have been made to get news
in our columns which was not true
but such things have recently hpa-
pened to one of our nearby contem--
poraries which have caused consider
able embarrassment to the editors.
So please send US the news but sign
your name. Anonymous communica-
tions>go in the waste basket.
