the Bank of Mt. Carmel and also the
branch bank at Calhoun Falls are
in sound condition, stated W. Frank

tions today. An audit is being made
at the Bank of Mt. Carmel and the
exact shortage will pc made known
as soon as it is completed. I t is
stated that it will run between
$4,000 and $4,000. Neither bank
stands to lose on account of the
shortage. AS evidence of the conf
Gence of the people the Bank Of
Mt. Carmel, steady flow of large
deposits was handled Thursday. H
W. Boyd has been elected cashier

| improved and it is believed that he

A REAL OPPORTUNITY.

Everybody likes to see other peo-
! pie at work. Most people like to see
q dollar at work unless it is working
away from them when value receiv-
ed is not in evidence. Nobody objects
to making the dollar work when it
will produce about dollar and a
half.
Now the latter accomplishment IS
what the dollar is expected to bring
about here next Saturday. That, in
fact, is just what the dollar will do
if the people will do their part.
In other towns they have been hav-
ing Dollar Days, but SO far as we
have been able to see the dollar days
in other towns have been "everydays"
in Abbeville, for our merchants, OF
those who advertise, are prepared to
prove that they sell goods every day
in the week for less than merchants
in other towns do on so-called bar
gain days.
But, Notwithstanding and never
theless, the merchants here have de-
cided that Abbeville must be in style
in the matter Of dollar days as well
as in the tonsil business (the latter
business now being the monopoly of
DR.. Davis) so in this issue the story
is beginning to be told of just how
much duty dollar will do if spent
n .Abbeville next Saturday.
1t will pay you, while you are at
home for dinner today and tomor-
row and every day this week, to read
the Press and Banners ADVERTISE
ments instead of taking a nap, be-
cause there is news to be found
there which will help to make a pound
OF cotton do what it did last year
and the year before. There are many
things mentioned in these advertise
ments which will help to make home
happy, as we'll as wife, or husband;
son, or daughter; and all of the things
mentioned have a close connection
with that old dollar you have been
carrying in the bottom story Of your
pocket, and which, to speak the truth,
is now getting rusty, or which needs
airing. Read and be convinced.

NO SUGAR IN CORN BREAD

Colonel Henry Watterson is always
right. He despises hypocrisy, and
therefore does not like some polite
ians. Especially does he dislike poll
ticians who claim to have too much
Of the sugar of self-righteousness. He
dislikes too much sugar in a good
many things, and he is not in favor
of any sugar whatsoever in corn
bread, because corn bread with su-
gar is a hypocrite. This is what he
says about it:
Corn bread with sugar in it was
an idea born OF the devil, planted in
New England and sent South by our
enemies. 1t is threatening the life of
real corn bread right in the land of
its birth. 1t has done and is doing
worse. It makes men trifing and
women frivolous. 1t is responsible fol
most of the murders, suicides and
divorces. 1t is the mother of bolshe'
vism and the daddy of anarchy. II
