The Story Of
Our States
BY JONATHAN BRACE
H.-PENNSYLVANIA

HMSNS68SN Its area of
W atsgxE% 45,128 square
sssses miles is larger
than the combined New Eng
land states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown in for good
measure. Its name means
'Penn's Woodland" and was so
named by King Charles III, who
granted this territory to the
Quaker, William Penn, and
named il in commemoratlon of
PENIS father, who had been q
distinguished admiral and on
terms OF peculiar friendship apd
intimacy with the royal family.
This grant was made In lieu of
f160O0, which the king owed Adj
miral Penn. On this basis ii
originally cost about 81 a square
mile.
Pennsylvania has assumed
such an important place among
the states that 1t is often called
the Keystone state. This term
was probably derived originally
because her name was carved
on the keystone of the bridge
over Rock creek, between Wash
ington and Georgetown. Later on
il was applied on account of the
great Importance of the state In
national elections. Its delega-
ton to congress totals 80, sec
ond only in size to that from
New York, and Pennsylvania
accordingly has 80 presidential
electors.
William Penn first came over
to America in 1882. The follow
ing year he laid out the city of
Philadelphia, or "Brotherly
Love-" which was named after
biblical city in Asia Minor. AS
Pennsylvania was the only col
Ony without seacOast, Penn
obtained from the duke of York
the control of Delaware. and UNI
til the Revolution these two
provinces were under the same
proprietary government. Quar-
rels with Maryland over bound
aries caused a formal survey
to be made by two surveyors,
Mason and Dixon, and it was
this which became famous dur
ing the Civil war as the Mason
and Dixon line, the dividing
mark between the slave and the
free states.

Col. McAlily Expresses Opinion

Mr.. W. S. McAlily dropped in"
to the Press and Banner one day last
week and made few remarks about
the old town. He thinks it all sad
mistake about Greenville street be-
ing the best street in town and says
North Main has Greenville e skinned
two blocks" He says every body on
North Main has cleaned up since the
street paving, having planted grass
between the curbing and the side
walk and that the grass is growing.
That there are more pretty flowers
and good looking women on his side
of town. That the men folks are hav-
ing goose suppers and that sign of
a high liver now is to have goose
quacking in your back yard.

BLACKHAND AFTER HIM

The rich young ruler says that he
has been dethroned, but there is evil
IDENTIFY someone around here who
does not believe him, for Sunday he
received the following letter, written
on an advertisement of floor cover
ings and mailed at Abbeville in an
envelope with the Clemson College
letter head:
Dear. Sir-If you don't leave So
thousand under trash can in front of
cost office you shall be kill Tues
night.
Please leave it Mon mite at IL p. m.
From Slim Jim
at Pokes Pasture.
P S. If you tell Chief johnson you be
sorry. Ha, Ha.
The ruler came down early Mon
day morning to consult with his
friend Reese about the matter. The
former has not yet decided whether
he will put the "$5 thousand" under
the trash can, or not, but friend
Reese told US he had decided that if
the money was put there he would
get it before Slim Jim arrived, or
know the reason why.
The ruler thinks of staying in bed
all day Tuesday so that Slim Jim
may not get him if he fails to put
the money at the appointed place.

MONDAY, MARCH H.. 1921
FEELING FOOLISH

There are a good many things
which make US feel that we are fool
ish these days. We rode down with a
good citizen the other morning who
was finding fault with himself for
having built a house last year. He
thinks he could build it now for one
half what it cost him last year, and
this causes him to have a poor op:n-
ion of himself. q.
We saw a man on the street the
other day with a twelve dollar shirt
on. He was looking in the window OF
a store at the same shirt which he
can now buy for one-half the amount.
Ii you paid sixty dollars for suit
last fall, which you might have done
without, and you see that same suit,
or one just like it, we should say, dis
played in the show window (no, we
didn't say advertised IN the county
paper) at thirty dollars, you may not
tell anybody about it, but you know
that you did not buy 3 bargain.
And there is another thing which
is making some Of us feel the effects
of dehation just now. In making out
the income ak of citizen the other
day, he reported the sale of twenty
one bales of cotton last year at more
than four thousand dollars. He did
not sell the cotton until after Christ
mas, and he is paying income tax tn S
year on the profits 6f the forty cents
cotton, and is having to pay this in
come tax out of the proceeds of cot
ton which he has just sold, or must
soon sell, at eleven cents. That does
make a man feel foolish.

ADVERTISING AND RATES

The Herald and News, of Newberry
announces that the Board of Direc.
tors of that paper has voted to make
the rate for display advertising rs
cents per inch instead of 80 cents
as heretofore.
Which causes us'to say that the ad-
vertising rate by the papers in Able
vile has never been much higher than
one-half of thirty cents. And at that
rate the merchants in Abbeville have
net patronized the papers to any
great extent, and now are not patron
:5ing them at all. The merchants at
Newberry patronize their papers at
the higher rate, however.
The fact is that if the advertise
ments were to speak fol The mer-
chants of Abbeville the decree would
be that there is no need for news
paper in Abbeville. The merchants
here prefer to do business as they do
in Due West, Calhoun Falls, Donalds
and other small towns which! have no
newspapers.
We presume that the merchants
here think advertising does not pay,
else they would advertise.
The merchants in other places
th;nl; tha. it does pay to advertise,
and they advertise. The Greenwood
Index-Jo circulates rather free
ly in Abbeville, and the merchants in
Greenwood advertise. The people in
Abbeville who take this paper read
the advertisements of the Greenwood
merchants, and the result is that a
good many people are trading in
Greenwood.
If you will look ever the personal
column of the Index-Journal almost
any day in the week you will find the
names of Abbeville people who are
in, Greenwood. They are there: to
Trade. Their. numbers are growing.
.. We believe that the merchants. in
Abbeville carry as good merchandise
as the merchants in Greenwood. We
believe they sell it as reasonably.
But the people see the advertise
ments of the Greenwood merchants
and they know these merchants have
what they want.
They do not know that the mer-
chants in Abbeville have what they
want and quite naturally they 60 to
Greenwood.
Then, again, there is a feeling on
the part of the public that if a man
in the mercantile business has any,
thing worth while to offer these days,

HIS SERMON CAUSED TALK
Gave Setback Thunder, Says One
Let Down Bars Says Another

The Rev. Louis j. Bristow
preached a striking sermon in the
Baptist church Sunday morning;
and judging from the amount and
difference of the comment the SER
mon has elected from those who
heard it, it must have fairly we'll
covered the ground. The feature of
the comment, however, is that
everyone says the preacher exactly
expressed his or her sentiments
according to the point OF view Of
commentator.
Mr.. Bristow spoke of the Christian
life, and presented several principles
for the conduct of church men,
ber. He said he could not give rules
for the conduct of anyone, as the
Bible gave no rules. He could
enunciate principles, as the Bible
gave principles; and he gave four, as
follows: Liberty, conviction, con-
science, and influence.
Mr.. Bristow did not mention by
name any business practice Of
amusement, but about every
conceivable thing under the
sun is supposed to have been in thel
preachers mind by various ones who
were in the congregation: o.:
Owe Setback Thunder
AS soon as the service was over,
one deacon who himself does not
play setback, hurried to grasp the
preachers hand, saying, "Let me
congratulate you; that sermon was
the best I've heard in a long time.
You certainly gave the setback
players thunder" About the same
time, a gushing young matron who
is a devotee Of bridge, said to the
preacher, you've let the bars down
for our men to play cards." and so
the comment went.
One young lady says the sermon
has "torn me all up; want to dance
and the preacher said I couldn't."
Further conversation brought out
the fact that the preacher said
everyone should be "fully persuaded
in his own mind" and this girls
conscience was against her, rather
than the preachers words.
One young fellow who was 'stung'
in a real estate trade last summer,
SAYS Mr.. Bristow was preaching
especially against profiteers. And
thus it goes. Everyone seems agreed
that the principles set forth by the
sermon were correct; but there is
wide divergence of opinion as to the
application of the principles.
At any rate, those who want to
play cards, or dance, or profiteer, or
do anything else against which their
own conscience rebels, were disap-
pointed that the preacher did not
tell them to do it, and so relieve
their own responsibility. But alas,
and alack, that is just what he did
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-03-14

.e will offer it through the advertis-
ing columns of his home paper. If
the merchant does not do this, the
people conclude that they should
trade somewhere else. They have a
suspicion that something is wrong
with goods which are not advertised.
A man should not hide his light
under a bushel.
