GOOD GARDENERS

There are a good many gardeners
about Abbevile. We said sometime
ago that Col. Pat Roche, Of Cam:
bridge Street, is one Of the finest
we know. We must add that Col. W.
L. PEBBLES, of Chestnut Street, OF
rather, Mrs. PEBBLES (because sshe
does the head work while the Colonel
does the work) is just as good at
gardening as Colonel Roche. We say
so for he reason that we are in pos
session Of q basket of as fine white
potatoes as can be produced any.
where. One Of them weighed one and
a quarter pounds. They are of the
North Carolina variety, and most
things from North Carolina are all
that could be desired. -
of course Colonel Roche may
come again as may Colonel PEBBLES
or any other good gardener who
feels so disposed and we will give
the matter Of who is the best gar.
dener further consideration. We
would like. to consider the matter
further and still further. We will
not be hasty about reaching a con.
clusion.

DR.. J. S. MOFFATT
DECLINES POSITION

In Wednesdays issue of this paper
it was stated that DR.. J. S. Moffatt,
President of Erskine College, had
been elected President Emeritus by
the Board of Trustees of the college
and had accepted the position. Such
was the announcement by the men,
bers of the board. 1t seems from a
communication received by the edi-
tor of the Press and Banner that this
news was either incorrect, or that
DIR. Moffatt has reconsidered the
matter. ....
The communication referred to is
from DR.. Moffatt himself and is as
follows: -. - -
"You may. announce in Press and
Banner that J. S. Moffatt has de-
clined, the President Emeritus in
Erskine College," -.
The Press and Banner regerts
that an error was made in the mat
teri but the news item of Wednesday
was made upon information given the
Board of Trustees of the college and
was believed to be dependable. Evi-
IDENTIFY there was some misunder-
standing of DR.. Moffatt's attitude in
the matter. = J.. t..

Other attorneys representing the
young man were E. C. Mann and D.
O. Herbert. Attorney Smith stressed
the facts in mitigation that the
shortage was not detected but be-
came known only when the defen-
dant had called the cashiers atten-
ton to it, that he had made af full
confession Of the situation, had
made all reparation possible, that the
money abstracted had not been
fused in speculation, but was absorb
ing in an automobile business in
which the defendant was interested,
that the bank suffered no inter
ruption Of business, and that the de.
fendant had paid back large pro-
portion Of the shortage from his own
resources, other arrangements com.

terest SO it had lost nothing. Mem.
bers of Mr.. Bates family were with
him in court. He made no state.

GETTING RESULTS

The Judge of the Court of General
Sessions this week has taken a long
step towards breaking up the selling
of bootleg liquor in this county.
Every person convicted of violating
the law in this regard has received a
sentence carrying a term of months
on the chain gang. To be true most
ofSthe sentence in so far as imprison-
ment is concerned has been suspend
ed; the court has been merciful in
fixing the Imprisonment part of the
sentences but enough is left to warn
violators of the law what awaits them
in the future.
In saying this we, of course, do not
want to be understood as taking
pleasure in the misfortunes Of others.
<All Of us would be glad personally
to see people escape the laws judg-
ments. But we cannot have healthy
respect for laws unless those who
violate the lam are suitably punish
ed; punished, we may say, in a way
which is calculated to break up lille
gal and harmful practices. It is hard
to catch the bootleggers. They ply
tseir trade while other men sleep.
Those who patronize them are loath
to testify against them, so that it is
only when the officers of the law
are able to lay their hands On them
that they are brought to justice.
"A bootlegger in even small way
has been heard to say that he was
making three hundred dollars per
month at his avocation., In five
months he made fifteen hundred dol
lars. It is evident that he can pay a
fine of three hundred dollars every
term Of the court and yet prosper.
Therefore, it takes the pick and rocks
to make him good. We hope they viii
keep him good. -
We say this too without reference
to the appeals which have been taken
in the cases before the court. We do
not know what the grounds of ap-
peal may be in any case, and we ex-
press no opinion as to the merits of
any particular case, other than to
say that we must make beginning
if the community is to be saved from
the, evil effects of the illicit traffic in
this kind of beverages, and the time
to make the beginning is NOW.

THE TROUBLE WITH
AGRICULTURE

Representative Anderson, of Mimi
esota, chairman of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee Of Agricultural
Inquiry, says that the Perpendicular
drop" in prices, the falling off in
export demand, especially for meat
products :. and cotton, furnishes the
first cause for the business depres-
sion of the country. Other reasons
advanced by him are: The marked
decline in domestic consumption; the
increase in freight rates; and enforc-
ed liquidation through withdrawal of
credits. More than any other COM
nlodities, he finds that farm commodi-
ties were forced on the market. He
points out. that other industries meet
periods of depression by reducing out
put. Mills, factories and shops
run on part time or close down, re-
gulating supply to meet demand.
The farmers cannot do this. When
their lands are seeded, the rest is
beyond their control.

days and about the only effort made
toward advertising was through the

days and about the only effort made
toward advertising was through the
last issues of the newspapers.
Iron River people may know what
can be exhibited and what premiums
will be paid, but how is the farmer
living in other parts of the county
going to know what to exhibit when
premium books are not received.
The people of Bayfield, county have
been very liberal to the Fair Associa-
ton. They have journeyed to Iron
River year after year to see the an
nual exhibit, they have boosted for
the fair, and the officials should make
some effort to meet the people, and
especially the farmers, half way.
We know there is lot of work
connected with the getting up of
the fair year after year, but if it
is to be of any value to the people
of the county an effort should be
made to get out the exhibits. This
seems to be the opinion of practi-
cally everyone.

WHERE is THE MARKET?

IF the report of a certain farmer
WHO dropped into the office this week
is true, and VIC have no. reason to
doubt it, then some effort should be
made to establish a market where
farmers coming to our city can dis
pose of their produce. This farmer
said he had picked as fine bushel
of apples as was ever grown in
Northern Wisconsin. His wife had
carefully polished each apple SO
that it shown like the blush on mild
maids cheek, and he brought this
bushel of apples to the city believ-
ing that they would be gobbled up
by the first merchant to whom they
were offered. But the contrary, he
said. was true. He went from store
to store offering the fruit at the go
ing market price, but he could not
get as much as an offer. He then
tried to dispose of them in trade
for other goods, but was equally UNI
successful, and he started back to
his farm with his bushel of apples
intending to feed them to the hogs,
when consumer happened to see
them and bought the lot.
This farmer was thoroughly dis
gusted. He said he would not at
tempt to bring another bushel of
apples to the city because he knew
he could not dispose of them. And
who could blame him for becoming
a knocker.
Some effort should be made to es-
tablish a market where the farmer
can dispose of his produce. Ger
tainly with the high price prevailing
on foodstuffs some consumer would
be willing to pay some price for pro-
duce he can eat. If the fruit or
other produce is worth growing there
is someone that would be willing to
buy, and fine apples or other produce
should no thave to go begging on TIE
streets or be fed to the hogs.
There is a fertile field for some
one in the handling of the produce
of the farms in this vicinity. The
man that will find a market for the
produce which the farmer has to sen
will indeed be accomplishing a won
derful thing for the upbuilding of
the farming of this region.

AS THE PUBLIC SEES 1T

"FATTY" ARBUCKLE is due for
the toboggan in the motion picture
world and his popularity as a screen
star will wane as the result of the
disgusting episode which occurred on
the night of Labor day in the ST.
Francis hotel at Los Angeles, in
which he was one of the principal
figures.
The tragedy OF Virginia Rape
comes as. a climax to series Of
unsavory incidents in the lives of
too many of the more prominent
stars of the film world and people
are beginning to wonder what is
the nature of the life of the movie
performers that causes them tc
figure In such sensational cases
The natural conclusion is the "big
money" and the sort of life some
live.
The public has been quick to con-
denim this sort Of riotious living ant.
hundreds of cities have refused to
permit the showing of pictures fea-
turing the once popular FATTY" UNI
til the California courts have cleared
his name of the revolving charge
which has been preferred against
him. They are disguised beyond
measure with this sort of perform
ances an dthey will not pay their
good money to help enrich men who
use their money for such revolving
orgy.
The entire motion picture profes-
sion cannot be judged because of the
acts of the few who have stepped
from the paths of decency, and moral
ity and made their actions noxious
to right thinking people, and the
censure should be against those to
whom it belongs.

IF THE officials of the Bayfield,
County Fair Association expect to
make the fair anything more than
an Iron River institution there has
got to be changes made in the me-
thod of handling the fair. This
is the comment heard in all parts
of the county outside of the Iron
River district through the failure
of the advertising committee to get
out their advertising material and
premium books in time to be of any
value to persons who intend to ex-
hibit.
This has been true year after
year and especially is it true this
year. Although the fair closes to
day yet we have failed to find a
farmer or gardener or any other
person in this city who has received
q premium book, and this is also
true of other towns of the county.
The advertising matter for the
fair was not posted until the last few
