WIZ SUFFER FROM RHEUMA-
TlSM?

DO you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither Of which require
any internal treatment? The pain
may be relieved by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment, which makes sleep
and rest possible, and that certainly
means great deal to any one afflict-
ed with rheumatism.

THE. MONEY QUESTION

! Some people do not understand
the money question. You will hear
men complaining of the hard times
these days, saying that it is hard to
make the two ends meet
But it was only year ago that
we had plenty of money in this coun-
try, and then they complained too.
Their complaint then was that they
had plenty of money, but it would
'"not go anywhere" Men who are
now working for two and half, or
three dollars per day, then worked
for seven and eight dollars per day.
They spent more while they made
more, but were they better off than
they are today?
The truth is that it is not how
much, nor how little money man
makes, but the use of it that counts.
The man who saves a little of his
daily earnings whether he works for
: low wages or high wages is the man
who is not in. want, and who does
not go about the streets complaining
always of hard times. He prepares
for hard times.
The man who having the ability to
work in good times, who either fails
to work and make the most of the
opportunities which come to him, or
who working fails to save little of
his earnings for the rainy day will
never understand the money ques-
ton. It was not made for him to un-
derstand.

COTTON

Six months ago the cotton trade
was confronted with many problems,
mainly, poor European demand,
scarcity and high rates for money,
the certainty of a huge carry over,
the effects of defation, and the gen.
eral uncertainty of what would fol-
lew. .
To-day conditions have materially
changed, and although prices have
not greatly advanced from the low
level of the season after the defla-
ton in cotton prices, and many of
the problems that were formerly a
large factor in the market are still
present, the time has arrived when
these are being gradually overcome.
A great deal of the uncertainty which
formerly prevailed is being removed,
which permits US to see more clearly
into the future. The European de-
mand has long been handicapped by
labor troubles, low purchasing pow
er of the people caused by heavy tax
alton, and the depreciation of their
currency. Many of the different coun-
tries throughout Europe are now
striving to improve the worth of
their currency through acquisition
of gold and silver in order to coun-
ter balance as much as possible the
large amount of paper money now in
circulation. Foreign exchange has
improved, and from present indica-
tions is expected to go still higher,
and as the supplies of cotton in Eu-
rope are not plentiful it would not
be surprising at any time to see the
spasmodic demand that now exists
develop more strongly, as exchange
rates improve.
Although some planters are finan-
cially able to raise a large crop of
cotton, many of them cannot readily
secure enough money to enable them
to cultivate a large acreage, and al
though we will enter the new cotton
year on the first of August with a
large surplus, it is expected that the
reduction in acreage, and lack of fer
tilizer may easily result in an under
sized crop.
The weather over the week end
was beneficial in some sections, and
slightly detrimental in others. AS
the weather from now on will play 4
most important part in the fluctua-
tions in Cotton, it should be watched
closely from day to day, as the mar
ket trend will be largely determined
by weather conditions, and will also
be affected by political and social oc-
cdrrences.
Pending further developments, foE
the present we would rather advise
purchases on good breaks.

KING GEORGE IN EXILE

The friends of former King George
of Cotton Row, will be sorry to know
that his former highness is now in
exile, being confined in lonely Jail
near St. Jeems Church, colored, Alb
beville, S. C.
The sad plight of the former king
came about from the fact that last
evening several fruit jars and tin
cans, full of white lightning, coming
intto town, riding in Ford car, took
George in as a fellow passenger, as
it IS alleged. The liquor did not even
know that George was along, but the
officers of the law found him in the
car in which the liqour was riding,
and they arrested him and put him
in Jail, while the liquor was also put
in the lookup, being confined in the
strong vault in the sheriff's office.
The Ford was also confined in one Of
our best garages, where it cannot
escape. 1t was thought best not to
put George and the liquor where they
could get into communication.
George made a mistake to ride with
a bad companion like old man liquor.
He will know better next time.
The career of King George shows
that cotton growers as well as re-
publics are ungrateful. For it was
George, who while the money lasted,
kept the Abbeville cotton market on
the map and a little ahead of any
thing else in it's line. But when mon
ey gave out George was first dis
credited as a king, and later de-
throned. And now because those from
whom he bought cotton last fall fail
ed to meet the said liquor away down
the road as it came to town last night
and drink it up before it was captur-
ed,> George is in solitary confinement.
Will none of those for whom he
worked and labored come to his res
cue? Will none of the subjects for
whom King George served come for
ward and take his punishment? We
fear they will prove, all of them, un-
grateful.

business by the fear that expensive
vehicles of this kind may be confisA
Gated. But if the law shall be amend
ed as Senator Dial proposes, one of
these men or two of them, will go in
to the garage business, while the
others do the making, transporting
and selling. The garage partners will
sell cars, ostensibly Of course, and
loan money on other cars, and when
one of the used cars is seized, the
garage partners will always be Sin
nocent," and will always have the
necessary claim to protect the car
from . seizure. Of course you
will say that these are not innocent
parties and so they are not, but how
are you going to prove they are not?
On the face of the record they are;
fraud is never presumed except
from proven facts; and fraud is hard
to prove. There are "innocents" and
then other "innocents."
:, The law is just as it stands. Every
man must accept some Of the pen
alties of the law, even when innocent.
The thing to do is to play safe when
dealing with parties who may be en-
gagged in illegal business methods.
The slightest investigation will re-
veal to the seller of an automobile
the business for which it is to be used
and he may always save himself by
demanding other protection than a
mortgage on the sold automobile.
The seller may sell on a credit to
those only who are above suspic-
ion and to others at his peril.
If the party has nothing to secure
the debt with other than the sold car,
the law might better declare it a
misdemeanor for a seller to dispose
of his wares to such purchaser. The
least wrong is what v are looking
for, and We believe the law as it is
now written and Interpreted will
cause less wrong than the proposed
amendment.

ABOUT FACE

The new Press and Banner man,
being a stranger in town, walks into
store and is met near the front by
the proprietor or clerk with a CHEEKY
"Good Morning." a broad smile and
hearty welcome. They mistake him
at first for a prospective customer
but on being told his mission the
CHEEKY "Good Morning." weakens,
the broad smile vanishes and the
hearty welcome passes into indiffer-
ence. Brace up brother, the Press
and Banner man is with you. He
didn't bring the hard times you Like
too we'll to talk about. Forget it.
The country is still moving and will
continue to move. Abbeville is pro-
crossing and will continue to pro-
gress. We will all do business and
be humping ourselves" to catch up
the, last motion before the waning

IN SELECTING POSTMAsTERs
Democrats and Republicans Alike
May Pull Down Plums

Washington May 1S.-Only good
of the service will be considered in
selecting the men from among the
three highest. for certifcaticn to the
president for appointment as post!
mdster, Postmaster General Hays
declared today. in dicussing the re-
cent executive order of President
Harding on the matter. Congress-
man and senators will naturally be
heard by the department as to the
qualifications of applicants, Mr..
Hays said, adding that this meant
democrats as well as republicans.
Selections made by the civil SER
vice commissioner under President
Wilson but not confirmed by the sen
ate will be ignored and new exami-
nations held for such vacancies, the
postmaster general asserted. There
are about 5000 vacancies and the
post office department is now max
ing a list by states to certify to the
civil service comission.

FEINSTEIN FLOURISHES

Col. Feinstein continues to do
large profitable business at his stand
on North Main street. The amount
of goods he is selling. tell you,"
is surprising to even an experienced
merchant like himself. He says that
the advertisements run in the Press
and Banner brings him customers
every day, and in a few. days more
he will announce some of the most
remarkable bargains ever offered in
this community.
The only trouble he is having is
that a few persons who desire to get
neighborly are trying to get an ac-
count started with him. But Il tell
you," he says, 81 have been in the
clothing business before, and it does
not do to give credit 70 people who
get friendly on short notice." When
these people come around, the
colonel always has business in the
back end of the store, and he can't
hear good anyway. 81 always ask my
lawyer" he says, "when strangers
want credit"
Besides this he is selling so fast
for cash that he will be compelled to
order more goods before much long
er. 81 joost love Abbeville, I tell
you," he told Corp. Kerr when the
latter bought his new shirt.

NEGRO POPULATION ,,'.
4 -. IN SOUTH: CAROLINA
INCREASE 3.s PER CT.

Washington, May 19.-The negro
population of South Carolina in
1920 numbered 864,719, according
to statistics made public today by
the census bureau. This was an in
crease. of 3.5 per cent for the ten
years. Whites numbered 818,53s, or
an increase of 20.5 per cent. South
Carolina's foreign born population
was placed at 6,401 or four per cent
of the total population, which was
the same as ten years ago.
There were s38,293 males and
s45,431 females, or ratio of 99.2
males to 100 males.

WE ARE "AGIN" 1T.

Recently the Supreme Court of the
United States delivered an opinion
in Georgia case, holding that un-
der the federal law an automobile
used for transporting contraband IL
quors when seized by the govern
ment was to be sold free of the lien
of a mortgage fo rthe purchase mon
ey, even though the mortgage was
innocent as to the use to be made of
the automobile when he sold it and
afterwards.
The case seems to some to work a
hardship, and in order to relieve
against this hardship, Senator Dial
has introduced a bill in the Senate
which would amend the law by pro-
viding that the rights Of innocent
parties shall not be affected in such
cases. He intends of course to pro-
tect only the innocent in these mat
ters.
But Senator Dial is lawyer and
he should know that his bill opens the
door to so much fraud and perjury
that it should not be passed. The
evil which VIII be done by the bill is
so much more in proportion than the
good which will be accomplished that
in our judgment the bill should fail.
Should the Dial bill pass every
time an automobile is seized for
transporting liquor, some man will
turn up with mortgage and swear
that he is an innocent creditor. Who
will disprove it? The liquor hauler
will of course, in order to protect
his property, at all times have a mort
gage outstanding against the machine
so that if he is caught, the = machine
will not be lost. The owner of the au-
tomobile will be alleged to be an "in-
nocent" wife, or an invalid daughter,
or a son who has saved a little money
and put it aside, which the father
has borrowed, or maybe some other
person equally to be protected. Such
will be the burden of the testimony
offered in every case where it is
sought to confscate an automobile
used in hauling liquor.
Then too the bill, if passed, will
be an invitation to more lawlessness
than we now have. We shall say that
dozen men band together to follow
the business of making, transport:
ing and selling contraband liquors.
They do just such things. They need
automobiles and trucks for hauling
the liquor. Under the law now they
are restrained from going into the
