SOUTHERN MAKES CHANGES

COllOWlHS TeCSlpI VI tHe euitoii idi
in the Press and Banner criticising
the new schedule of the Southern
Railway by which passengers from
Abbeville to Columbia in THE after
noon are required to wait at Hodges
, for more than an hour, the editor
was favored by an early call yester-
day morning from Mr.. w. E. McGee,
Division Passenger Agent and Mr..
Robert C. Cotner, District Passenger
Agent, of the Southern. These gen.
tlemen came to Abbeville, they an
nounced, to arrange to relieve the
people of this city from the discom-
forts growing out of the long wait at
Hodges eefered to.
After talking over the matter, Mr..
McGee said to the editor of this pa
per that an arrangement was being
worked out by which the afternoon
train would leave Greenville a few
minutes later, and the up-train from
Columbia would leave a few minutes
earlier, thus making it possible for
the meeting point of these two trains
to be Belton. This would enable the
crew on the Abbeville Branch to
make the two trips as heretofore,
and people going South over the
Southern in the afternoon would
leave on the last train as heretofore.
This arrangement, Mr.. McGee
thought, should satisfy the people of
the city, and we feel sure that it will.
Irthe conversation with these gen.
tlemen they brought out the fact not
known to people generally that they
have difficult job to arrange the
schedules of the Columbia and Green
vile road due to the fact that the
trains of the Blue Ridge must make
connection with the trains of this
gead and with the trains on the Main
line Of the Southern at Seneca. In
undertaking to do this, Mr.. McGee
said, the schedule makers overlooked
the fact that the time between the ar
rival of the two trains at Hodges
Il (the down train and the up-train on
the Columbia and Greenville line)
was so short that the Abbeville
Branch crew did not have sufficient
time to make the return trip. There
was no intention, Mr.. McGee assures
US, to take off one of the Abbeville
trains when the schedules were pre-
pared; on the other hand, it was the
intention of the Southern authorities
to continue to operate both trains.
When the schedule was put into op-
Grafton, it was found that the Able
vile Branch crew was short ten min
utes of the time necessary to make
the round trip between the arrivals
of the two trains. Mr.. McGee desires
that this explanation be impressed
upon the people of the city for the
reason that the Southern feels kind
ly towards Abbeville and does not
want the people to think that the
hardship imposed by the recent sched-
ule resulted from an intentional ig-
noring of the. rights of the people,
which on its face it appeared to do.
We feel sure that the people of the
city will appreciate the prompt man
ner in which the Southern is handling
this matter. The arrangement sug-
gested will meet the demands of the
people here, we feel sure, and they
will ho1,o M

i Due West, Feb. 10.-The' famous
Womanless Wedding was given last
Monday evening in the Memoria,
Hall at the Woman's College. The en-
tertainment was a buster. Severa,
prominent grave citizens of the town
gave excellent female impersonations
and apparently brought down the

! for the show, and the proceeds OF
$4,000 were turned ovk to the au.

house. This play was staged by Miss
Frances Wideman, principal of the
Due West High School, and by Miss
jeanette Scoggins, one of the teach
ers in the school.
DR.. J. S. Moffatt, president of Frs
kline College, announces the estab-
lishment of a $4,000 scholarship
fund, given by Mrs. Sallie Miller
Brice, Of Chester, in honor. of her
husband, the late Hon. .Ashbel G.

propriate gift, and the friends of
the college rejoice in it.
Mr.. Charles il. Douglass, a promi-

orator for the coming commencement

close for this season with the ap-
pearance of the excellent Clifford

the season has been successful finan-
cially. A good course, with some cur
tailment, has been arranged for next
year.
The intercollegiate debate between

sometime soon, one squad debating

Messrs Andrew Hood and Calvin

Messrs CASTOR Moffatt and D. G.
Phillips will uphold the affirmative
side at Wofford. The subject for de-
bate is the League Covenant with the
Lodge Reservations.
The fertilizer market at Due West
is apparently at stand still. Farm
ers and tenants generally are unset
tied in their plans for the present
farming season. Ask a farmer what
he is going to do this year, and he
is likely to tell you that he doesn't
know. One thing seems certain,
however, not much money will be ad-
vanced to crQppers, either for ra-
tons or for equipment. By the way,

FOR THE SUPREME COURT BENCH

There isn't any doubt in the minds of the
great majority of the people of the country
that the two men best qualified to succeed the
late Chief Justice White on the United States
supreme court bench are Charles T.. Hughes
and William II. Taft. In fact, hardly anybody
else has been mentioned in connection with
the appointment with the exception of former
United States Senator Sutherland, of Utah, but
his name is merely incidental.
As between Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Taft the
preference, under ordinary circumstances, would
lie with the former mainly because Mr.. Hughes
is the younger man. The fact is, however, that
MIR. Hughes cannot be spared from the position
he now holds. As secretary of state he is the
right hand man of President Harding and is
really the main strength of the administration
1t is the presence of MI. Hughes in the cabinet
that gives the people confidence; with him in
charge of the foreign relations of the country
there is a feeling of security. AT the present
critical time, particularly, is Mr.. Hughes needed
right where he is and it would be a serious
mistake to remove him even for the sake of
giving the supreme court the benefit of his
great ability.
When it comes to ability, there is no one
better qualified than former President Taft for
the position. Not only. has Mr.. Taft the ability
but he also has had the experience that is so
essential for a man who is to preside over the
greatest judicial body in the world. If there
were no such man as Mr.. Taft available for the
place there might be reason for taking a chance
with a new secretary of state, as regrettable
as such a move would be, for the sake of Sc
curing for the country the services of such a
man as Mr.. Hughes on the supreme court bench.
But with Mr.. Taft free to serve in this capacity
his is the logical appointment. There is rea-
son to believe that nothing would better suit
the former President than to round out his al
ready notable career as chief justice Of the su-
preme court of the United States.

MANS WANTS

MAN N.t-Nlo
Man wants but little here below,
nor wants that little long," the poet
wrote. long years ago, and he was
headed wrong. Men think that

with a grin, for they not only want
the earth, but want the fence
thrown in. The more a humble
mortal gets, the more he wants to
own, and even when he's rich he
sweats to add another bone. This
world would be a sad old vale, and
life would be a fright, if people
didn't want to nail most everything
in sight. Invention would be lying
dead, it's triumphs all unknown;
man wouldn't have his folding bed,
his clock or telephone. Pale Science
wouldn't scale the heights where

PARALLELS OF
SAFED THE SAGE

I had a Tooth that gave me
much trouble. For the Dentist
filed it yet again; and when the
Nerve within it died, then did he
treat the Root, and filled it once
more.
And there were certain years
wherein it gave me good service,
and 1 depended upon 1t when l
wanted to come down hard upon
the Steak.
But there came a day when the.
Dentist said, There is no more that
I can do. And so far as I see, it
doeth no harm; but the day is not
far distant when thou wilt lose it.
Now 1t soon came to pass that
the Tooth gave me trouble; but /
went not again unto the Dentist,
for I said, There is but n thing
that he can do for it; and that can
never be done; now, therefore, if I
can make it last a little longer,
whatever service I now get is Vel
vet.
But the feel of it was not like
unto Velvet; for it gave me pain in
mine Eye, and pain in mine Ear.
And there was a Sabbath Day

stood in the House Of God.
And on the next morning I woke
early, and l was on the step of the
Office of the Dentist when he came
from Breakfast.
And what he did to it was a
plenty.
But when I came away. I spake
unto Keturah, saying, Thine hus-
band is a man less wise than men
think him; for-had I shown half the
good sense with which men credit
me, then had I done this Two
Months ago..
And I thought of the way men
hold onto Bad Habits, that give
them discomfort and help them not
It all to deal ~righteously with God
or Man; yet how they Linger Shiv-
ering on the Brink, and dread the
feeling of the Cold Iron.
And unto all such men I say, Fool
not with the matter, nor delay; see

moved, and cast it far from thee.
