A SUBSCRIPTION LIST.

Some three, or four, or was it five,
years age there was an election IN
this county on the question of issuing
bonds for roads. In that election, the
Press and Banner opposed the issu-
ing of bonds for such purpose. 1t an
nounced in one of its issues that it
was sending some five hundred copies
of the papeN to those who were not
subscribers to the paper. The Able
vile Medium replied to this by say
ing that if we had sent about two
hundred more copies to non-subscrib-
ers we would have sent out as many
papers as the Medium then was send
ing to it's regular subscribers.
Which causes us now to ask the
question, What has become of this
subscription list? We are now send
ing this paper to more than nine hun
dred regular readers, who pay for
the paper either in advance or who
buy the paper for cash on delivery.
To how many subscribers of like Ah9
does the Medium 60?
Any statement about the circulation
of this paper we are prepared to
prove to the satisfaction of our ad-
vertisers by exhibiting our subscrip-
tion lists. We are even prepared to
prove these statements by exhibiting
our lists to the Medium where lif in
no other way it may meet large num-
bers of old friends.

A WARNING.

The City Council has just contract.
ed tc sell 100000 worth of bonds
bearing 5 1-2: per cent interest at 90,
which means that we are selling the
dollars which we are yet to make at
ninety-twc cents each, and that we
shall be compelled to buy these same
dollars back at par. No criticism is
intended towards the city fathers,
however, for this condition. The
streets have been paved under con-
tract, and the money is due, and there
was nothing to do except to do as
well as possible. All kinds of securi-
ties are down, and are still falling,
and our securities were on that ac-
count hard to sell.
While the above facts are true,
however, it does not follow that we
should make other bad trades where
they may be avoided. This county has

TO OUR AMIABLE NEIGHBOR.

With all it's faults the Abbeville
Medium sometimes carries US back to
the land of pleasant memories. COM
menting on the imaginary misfor-
tunes of the editor of the Press and
Banner, and replying to some of our
remarks which the Medium thinks
uncalled fer (but which it provoked
by its evident personal references to
US, and to which we shall never OBJ
ject) the Medium reminds US that the
editor of this paper once was candi-
date for Mayor in the city of Abbe-
vile and was defeated. Passing over
the fact that in the. first race in that
election we led four candidates with
a considerable plurality of the votes
which the Medium forgets and in
the second race we were again ahead
in the uptown box where the people

that We received in the first race
against four men 184 votes, We think
it was, while the editor of the Medium
received in the city of Abbeville in
his race last year, (runnlng alsc
against four men) "a votes, we de-
sire to say, and it is the first oppor-
tunity that we have had to say It pub
licly:
That we have always been appre-
ciatire of the men who voted for us
in that election. We do not say that
all the good men in town voted for
US in that race, because that would
not be correct, but we did not receive
the votes of the heads, nor of
those who sit on the street corners
and complain, nor of those whose
subsistence depends on seeking pub
lie office. We received rather the votes
of the men who have made Abbeville
and who will continue to make it fit
place to live in; of the men who have
built the enterprises of the city; who
have contributed to all the good caus-
es of the city at least seventy-fve per
cent of all the good which has been
done, of the men who build banks,
cotton mills, churches, schools, and
such like institutions. We know the

voted for large bond issue for the
building of roads. If these bonds can
not be sold at par we should take no
tice that conditions are such that we
should stay out of the road building
business until times are better. A
discount of eight per cent. on the
bond issue authorized would mean a
loss of about $4,000 to the taxpay-
,ers of the county. 1t is hard enough
to pay high taxes in these difficult
times even when you get full value
for the money spent, but we imagine
the people who pay taxes in the coun-
ty will not want to contribute to
raising $4,000 which somebody else
will get for nothing in return. 1t is a
good time to watch your step and go
slow.
This does not mean that the roads
authorized are not to be built. If the
people still want to build roads they
Fave the right l., do so, but the fact
that labor is getting cheaper and
cheaper as the months pass, and that
securities will likely improve in sell
ing value, at least, suggest that we
might wait awhile and do better.
There has been suggestion that
the next legislature authorize the
sale of the road bonds at less than
Par. We think the suggestion unwise.
We will have plenty of time to trav-
ell over the present roads, as the mo-
Inentum Of things generally is slow
ing down, and we can we'll afford to
wait awhile and do better. Certainly
we cannct do worse than to rush in

are now heavy enough and in the next
few weeks the people will find that
they are as certain as death itself.

that the appointment of such an Of

there had been races on, and all

WHEN LIQUOR WAS CHEAP

A man by the name of John Martin
probably kin to some folks in
Greenville- in Abbeville coun-
ty more than hundred years ago.
The Abbeville Press and Banner has
lately published some interesting data
taken from his private papers. He was
an 1rishman who settled in Ncwbcrry
but moved to Abbeville, possibly
seeking more excitement. from his
accounts it is learned tina. in 1845 tr-
dinary shoes sold at eighl. seven and
half cents per pair. The doctor
charged him only one do.-ar and sew
enty-fve cents a visit, including med
icines. There are S, many entries for
entities on the doctors bills that the
slogan of the medical profession in
those days, instead of "operate,'"
must have been ''nauseate." The
Kings Creek church Of Newberry
county certified in a paper still pre-
served that Brother Martin Railways

dram now and then. One hundred and
five years ago he bought a half pint
of rum for eighteen and three-quar-
ter cents. Somewhat later he acquir-
ed half pint of whiskey at twelve
and half cents. Ten days later he
bought the same amount at the same
price. In November he took on a
whole gallon at a dollar and half
and, evidently believing that "a lit,
tie of the hair of the dog is good for
the bite" got another gallon three
days afterward. He never dreamed
that a hundred years later. thirsty
hordes would pay twenty dollars for
a quart CT commingled shoe polish,
wood alcohol and embalming fluid.
The man who sold Martin the liquor
was also a school teacher who charg-
ed him thirty-six dollars and forty
six cents for teaching seven hundred
and ninety days. How about that for
a low teachers salary? Martin \ap-

ANOTHER SUGGESTION

After Texas has produced almost a
record cotton crop and rushed it on
the market, assisting the powers that
be in breaking the. price of the
South's chief commodity, we believe
that the authorities in that state
might allow~somebody else to sug-
gest that the acreage to be planted in
cotton next year be reduced. The
Texans evidently wish to grow an
other big crop and rush it on the mar
ket.

The story is dramatically interesting. The
following is only the essence of it:
When the United States of America enter
ed the Great War, Mr.. Edison dropped all his
work at the Edison Laboratories and enlisted
in the army of American men of science, who
pitted themselves 80 successfully against the
world-famed German scientists Cardinal Mer-
cier, on his recent visit to America, credited
Mr.. Edison with large share in winning the
war for the Allies. The New York American OF
September 5th describes, at length, some of
the inventions, which Mr.. Edison developed
and placed at the disposal of the Government
In this article, the New York American states
that Mr.. Edison appears to have been the
moving spirit of the Naval Consulting Board
of the United States
When Mr.. Edison gave up his own business
for the business of the Nation, very critical
situation existed in his Manufacturing Labor
atores, due to their inability to obtain various
materials, and the necessity of finding salts
factory substitutes for such materials. II
there was ever a time in Mr.. Ediscn's career,
when his personal attention to his business
was required, it was when he went to war.
TThomas A. Edison had reason to believe that
he was risking enormous losses, by deserting
his business, at the particular time in ques-
ton, but he did not hesitate, and his example
had a remarkable influence on the men and
women, who remained behind From the
umbest~wcrkman to the highest paid execu-
tive in the Edison organization, everyone
seemed determined to make good, while the
Old Man was away" Vacations were passed
up and doctors orders were ignored by zeal
Gus employees, and, as result, the Edison
Manufacturing Laboratories were one of the
few manufacturing concerns in the United
States, where there was no loss of efficiency,
during the war, and where there was in fact,
an increase in efficiency.
During the war, Mr. Edison spent most of
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-11-17

his time on the sea coast or at sea. On those
rare occasions, when he visited the Edison
Laboratories, it was difficult to gain his at
tention, for more than a few minutes, with
reference to business matters. He did, how
ever, state that the Edison Photograph was
his pet invention and he hoped that his busi-
ness associates would be able, in some way
or other, to avoid any increase in price, and
that, if there must be an increase, he wanted
such increase to be Just as small as it could
possibly be made. Mr.. Edison said:"I am
willing to stand the gaff., Music is an import
ant thing. Let US make it as easy as possible
for the people to have music in their homes in
these nerve-racking days."
What was the result? The wonderful real
ism of the New Edison, "The' Phonograph with
a Soul" made it desired above all other phon-
ographs, and its sale was stimulated by the
fact that the increase in price was negligible.
The demand soon far outstripped the supply.
Overhead and sails expense we're reduced to
the minimum and, thanks. to Mr.. Edison's
willingness to absorb large share of the in
creased cost Of manufacture, it was possible
for the Edison Laboratories, by accepting
merely nominal profit to avoid any substantial
increase in the selling price of the Edison
Photograph.
1t will be many years before the general
level of commodity prices is as low as the
present price of the Edison. Phonograph.
Leading bankers have expressed themselves
as willing to lend money on Edison Phono-
graphs, because they know the selling prices
of Edison Photographs are not going to be
reduced.
Let US reiterate that when you buy an Edi
son Photograph today you buy before-the-
war value with an after-the-war dollar. If
you have any fear that there may be re-
duction in the prices of Edison Photographs,
we are prepared to give you full assurance OIL
that point.
