McMAHAN CoMMENDS
! ABBEVILLE COMPANY

The following from The State Of
Saturday will be of interest to the
friends in Abbeville Of J. R. Blake
manager of the concern, as we'll as
to the\cIents of the company he rep
resents.
The Abbeville-Greenwood Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Association has
reported to Insurance Commissioner
McMahan that it has already collect
ed from its annual assessment upon
it's members sufficient funds to pay
all indebtedness to date and provide
surplus to cover expenses and loss
es for several months to come.
There is still a considerable sum to
be collected and consequently the
company is in fine shape, Mr.. Nc
Mahan said yesterday.
Il feel that public announcement
of this situation is desirable because
there had, been some criticism of
of this county mutual for it's inabili-
ty to pay promptly it's fire losses the
past summer" Mr.. McMahan said.
''The company had been IN the habit
Of borrowing all that was needed
to meet fire losses through the
spring and making assessment in the
fall to pay all obligations and fur
nish fund to run on for only a
part of the following year, depend
ing upon new borrowings each
spring. The abnormal financial situa-
tion the past year prevented it's OBJ
tanning the usual loans and it's far
mer members were in no condition
to respond to an assessment in the
summertime and wisely none was
made. Consequently it was forced
to ask claimants to accept 80 day
notes and to await cash payments
until the fall" the commissioner
said. -.
ANY impairment of faith in To-
cal farmers mutual organization
would be very hurtful to the develop

THIEF MAKES BIG MISTAKE
Detroit Football Players Convince

Detroit Football Players Convince
Him Fighting Doesn't Pay.
Detroit Oct. 20.-Charles Leriche
a "second story worker" is telling
as much of the world as he can see
through two Badly handled eyes
that he made the mistake of his life
early this morning, when, the police
charge, he broke into the Gamma
Eta Fraternity house, where most of
the football players spend their
nights.
Tom Kennedy, a substitute lines
man who is barred from the regular
squad because he weighs only 1875
pounds, found Leriche in a store
room. Leiche threatened to shoot,
but Tom switched on a light, grabbed
the gun, and yelled for the rest of
the football men.
Then came Leriche's big mistake.
He offered to fight anybody in the
house. Tom Kennedy, the 2O0-pound
centre, and half dozen 180 pound
ers offered themselves, but it was
finally left to lite Jerry Kenney to
represent the squad.
A collection was made of Leriche
by Patrolman Lawler.
Better in police station than in
that Boston College lineup next Sal
urday," remarked Leriche.

Salts For Washing.

Bridgeport, Cal.-Years ago
Mark Twain wrote about the as
tringent qualities of the water in
Mono lake, Mono county, but it re-
manned for later-day Californians to
remember what he said about the
minerals ip this body of water. A
company incorporated by Sacremen-
to and San Francisco capitalists has
been formed to establish a plant to
extract the salts from the water. The
salts are said to be of use as wash
ing powder, as basis for shampoos
and for other purposes.

CHANGE PULPITS
Baptist Pastors OF The State To Ex-
Change Places.

November 18th is to witness the
greatest Fellowship Day among
Baptists and the widest interchange
of pulpits on the part of Baptist pas
tors ever known in the State, says T.
J. Watts. This Fellowship Day is to
be utilized for the purpose of ex-
tending the acquaintance of pastors
and churches, of promoting larger
fellowship in the affairs of the Bap-
tist denomination in South Caro-
lima and of preseting the interests
fostered by the Baptist State Con-
vention and included in the Baptist
rs Million Campaign.
Among the things that Baptists
are stressing at this time are the Sc
curing of 10000 tithers, a great
campaign of soul-winning on the
part of preachers and laymen, the
enlistment of $4,000 church men,
bers who did not subscribe two
years ago in the Is Million Campaign
and the payment of pledges for the
second year ending December 1st on
the part of all subscribers to the Is
Million Fund.

An open letter to His Honor Mayo,
Moore Mars
l. As one of the oldest, in point OF
membership, in the Abbeville Chap,
ter, United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, we wish to protest-to most
kindly and respectfully call your Of,
fetal and personal attention to that
portion of the public square which
by the most solemn ceremonies of
song and music and prayer has been
set aside for the Confederate monu-
ment.
That this tiny spot7tiny when
compared to the area of the city of
;Abbeville- little piece of con-
secrated ground which has been dedi-
Gated to the memory of our soldier
dead, whom many of us. yet. remen1-
Der and love-that this spot should
be desecrated by benches for the con-
venience of any one who chooses to
use them, and the consequent litter
of cigarette stubs, pieces of paper,
locks of cotton, ETC., simply stabs US
to the hear. whenever cruel necessity
compels US to walk upon that side of
Monument Square next to the Court
House. ,
These precincts Immediately a.
round the monument have, at great
expense to the .Abbeville chapter,
helped, we gladly admit, generously
helped by the civic authorities been
made the most beautiful in upper
South Carolina. In fact, there is
hardly anything in the state to COM
pare with it, except the noble grounds
around our State house in Columbia.
Can you not Mr.. Mayor, have these
offending benches removed, and the
grass planted, or replanted where
restless feet have trampled the life
out of its green verdure? We have
heard this desecratien charged to the
cotton buyers. We do not hold this
opinion for we have never seen a cot
ton buyer resting there. When they
go to their place the cotton buyers
will have enough to answer for with
out laying this thoughtless piece of
desecration at their doors.
We have often hoped that our lov-
ed editors would sooner or later have
protested against this piece of refn-
ed barbarism; but editors have trou-
bles of their own, beside the boil
weevil, and hold that it is the place
Of the public to complain when any
thing is wrong.
If these men are so old that they
must be seated and in the shade,
please, Mr.. Mayor, please, have these
benches placed behind the Court
House where there is shade all the
live-long day! Then put up sign

Square,"
If we break faith with those who |
died
They cannot sleep-in peace,
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet
