A GOOD TIME TO START.

In an address to a gathering of
business men in Atlantic City the
other day Charles M. Schwab de-
clared that if he had his life to live
over he would choose the present day
for the beginning of career. Mr..
Schwab is person of sanguine tenn
permanent but he is no Pollyanna. He
has reason for the JOY that is in him.
1t is not an easy time just now to
make start, but every one knows
though many forget, that business
runs like a small boat at sea, always
going up toward the crest of wave
or down into the trough. ANY period
of depression means that a rise is
coming and Mr.. Schwab doubtless
had in mind the fact that any proper
ty or position that young man
gains now will automatically be.
become better as years pass by sim.
ply because this year is in the
trough.
For the young man also the school.
ing of these difficult times will be in.
valuable. Two or three years age
making money was easy and the fer.
vor for spending was epidemic. The
young man who started then made
more money than he is likely tc
make again for years to come and
as a consequence, he set out in life
with false idea Of the money value
of his own services. He also imbibed
the motion that this life is much cas-.
ier and much gayer than it really is

JUDGE OF PROBATE
HURT IN RUNAWAY
Frightened Horse Overturns Buggy
And Occupants Caught Un-
der Vehicle

= Laurens, Nov. 25.-Col. o. G.
Thompson, the venerable probate
judge for Laurens county, and one
Of the best known veterans Of this
section of the state, was painfully
injured few days ago while going
from his office to his home at Mad
den late in the afternoon when his
horse became frightened at a truck
loaded with cotton bales, sided into
a ditch and overturned the buggy.
The judge and his companion, L. L.
Cuibertson, were caught beneath the
vehicle, resulting in painful injuries
to the formers left shoulder and
hand, necessitating the attention of
physician. Mr.. Culbertson escaped
unhurt.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1872
MARSHALL FOCH IN ABBEVILLE

According to announcement in the
papers of yesterday it appears that
Marshal Foch is to be in Atlanta
December 9th, and that he will go
thence to Washington, most likely
over the Seaboard Air Line Railway.
He is to leave Atlanta at about noon,
and if the above information is cor
rect the distinguished visitor to this
country will pass through Abbeville
at about six o'clock. The train upon
which he will travel will stop at the
shops in order that engines may be
changed and the Marshal will thus
be in Abbeville for about ten min
utes.
1t may be that plans will be chang
ed but this seems to be the most like
" route to be taken by the Mar
shal's train. If he should pass
through Abbeville, the whole city and
countryside should turn out to pay
him honor. And it is fitting that the
great Frenchman should stop in the
county named by another distin-
guished Frenchman and for one of
the cities in France around which so
much fighting was done in the great
war. In this county the colony of
French Huguenots settled and here
scores of the descendants of the orig
inal colonists still reside.
The Mayor of the city and the
Chamber of Commerce should get in
touch with those having charge of
the matter and should endeavor to
have the Marshal pass this way and
stop, if only for a little while, in
the county of John De la Howe.

SOME PRESSING NEEDS.

1t pays to look ahead and select
definite goals for achievement in ed
ucation, and that is what progressive
citizens over the State are now do
ing. Some things which would i'm
prove our opportunities for better
educational facilities in the country
are:
l. A revision of tax laws. The
most apparent reason why there are
demands for the lowering of taxes is
the reliance in the property tax. 1t is
unthinkable that a revision of our
laws Of taxation will be postponed
for longer time; and if there be any
more interested than others in abol-
ishing an antiquated tax system,
surely it is the farmers who should
demand a new system, to secure
equalization in assessments and a
fair distribution of governmental sup
port and of the blessings of efficient
government. An adequate support OF
good government in this state will
not be burdensome with moderniz.
ed taxing system. 1t is true that this
matter can be corrected in our sis
ter states of North Carolina and Vir'
ginia and that those states are forg
ing ahead in progressive Legislation
while we spend our time yearnine
for release from obsolete entangle
ments?
2. We need more efficient coun
ty organization for the administra
ton of education.
8. The salaries of county super
intendents should be such as K
command the services of a profes
sional and energetic man or woman
and professionally trained teacher
should be- rewarded in salary-th'
increase in salary should be basee
more on experience and quality o:
work done.
4. The standards for building ane
equipp;ng country school houses
should be raised and modernized. A
closer supervision Of plans and schoo
house construction is badly needed.

Chester News Writes Up Game in

The Chester News in its last issue
has the following to say of the Abbe-
vile HIS visit to Chester:
"The game of football between
Chester and Abbeville played On the
Fair Grounds yesterday afternoon.
was a very one-sided affair, the
score being 107 to 0 in favor of
Chester.
"In the first quarter Chester came
in for six touch-downs with four
goals. The second quarter was the
slowest in the matter of touch
, downs Chester making only one. In
the third quarter Chester came out
with 20 points, and in the last quar-,
ter 40 points went down on the
score.
Notwithstanding the one-sidee
score it cannot be said that Abbe.
vile really has a poor high school,
team. The visitors played well and
they payed a clean game all thu
way through. Thre was no rough
ball on either side. Although {

Hugh Bradley, evidently Abbe
ville's baby player, did real nice
work for a kid. It was real amusing
to see him tackle kirkpatrick, ane
once or twice he downed him b,
catching his legs. In the line of skir
mish the Chester boys left the fielc

sary to tackle the kid the local boy
would endeavor to hold him up ane

or free rates cannot replace the gold
 (9) The war beginning in the sum- mer of 1917 whereby attractive wages in the states brought hundreds of miners and others outside. Then g. 381 was Alaska's war troops contribu- tion.
 (4) In 1911 thousands of workmen engaged in constructing the Copper River & Northwestern railway, and counted in 1910 census, left the terri tory. Shortly afterward the Valdez boom collapsed and more recently prohibition caused another exodus.
 These are the actual facts in the case shown by figures, and let it be said without fear of contradiction that not one human being left the terri. tory of Alaska in the last ten years on account of any steamship freight rate. Furthermore, during the Klon dike rush twenty-two years ago, when Alaska received more than 100000 people in one season, freight rates were five times what they are today and passenger rates four times greater.
 Of the causes as shown above no steamship was directly or indirectly

1 Now with the United States rail. road aalmost completed and absolute
 ly no traffic in sight, the effort will continue to be made to obscure the blunder and failure surrounding the government by continuing to attack the copper route from Prince William sound. In other words, attacking the copper group, will serve to divert at tention from the blunder of the s5OO,- 0OO,O0O government railroad.
 The government railroad will not be finished until the end of 1922 and the longer it is delayed the longer will the sad awakening be deferred. The coal is near the seaboard, there fore, the only tonnage that can ever be hauled from the interior must be derived from some future and extra ordinary discovery The only dis covery that could be figured would be a copper bonanza and that dear reader, is where the shoe pinches, Geologists will tell you that the most unlikely place for copper bonanza to be discovered would be the flat country bordering the Yukon river Therefore, the government railroad. when it is completed in 1922 or 1923, can at the start only have the ton mage represented by the Seattle sup T1i6 i,,+o I'M. boats, for the last five years, all told from St Michael to Dawson have not averaged 13,000 tons per year. A railroad man will know at once how small a tonnage per year that is. In the face of that we have a declining business in the Yukon ter ritOry so we cannot be sure of that tonnage in the future As the gold placers continue to be worked out they will close down.
 Briefly, Senator Cummins is wrong when he says that high rates of water transportation lines is the cause of the territory losing it's popu- lation in the last ten years, as will be shown in the statistical tables to follow, all figures being taken from the official report of the U. s, col leCtOr of customs. The loss in popu- lation of Alaska is due to the follow ing causes arranged in importance to their bearing on the subject:
 C) The great disaster at the Treadwell mines and later the cur tailment of work at the Alaska Gas tineau mine.
 CD The low purchasing power of gold, or rather the fact that gold re- mains stationery in price while costs of extraction and prices have greatly increased This has meant that it is cheaper to allow the gold to remain in the ground. Combined with the other fact that many of the oldtime placers in the Yukon Valley and on Seward peninsula have been worked out, has dealt a body blow to gold placer mining in Alaska. When placer mine is worked out steamships

or even remotely at fault. The Gas. tineau channel which alone is re. sponslole for the greatest loss of population, and all it's good friends deplore the season, and few citizens who are first and loudest in their denunciation of the copper ships.
 To here emphasize how the copper ships were willing to help in every way all legitimate industrial deyelop. ment, these ships joined with the management of the Alaska Gastineau. That company had plans for what would have been one of AIaska's greatest low-grade gold camps. The steamships co-operated by giving un- usually low rates; in fact, it moved to Juneau 1,050 miles, from 10000 to SO,OOO tons of cement at the rid iculously low rate of $50 per ton. These low rates were permissible at that time and undoubtedly proved of benefit to the Gastineau people,
 But when the ore did not prove of the expected grade, the steamships were not to blame nor were they at fault when those operations were cur tailed and the forces reduced and moved back to the United States.
 On April 22, 1917, the great Tread we'll mines, which for a quarter of a century had been famous as gold producers, were flooded by the water of Gastineau channel and later closed down permanently. Treadwen and the town of Douglas had no other support and people began to leave by the hundreds. For years they were the busiest spots in Alaska. To day they are nearly deserted.
 Directly opposite Douglas and Treadwell lie Juneau and Thane and here the situation is somewhat simi- lar, Juneau being the town, and Thane the mining and mill settle ment, of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Co.
 Owing to the low grade of the ore eff not the lower grade than was ex- pected) and the high cost of sup plies and labor the results of the Alaska Gastineau became a great disappointment about the same time as the decline at Douglas. Here, in a radius of four miles, four places sui fered by forced mine reductions and while in 1914 to 1916 the section had the greatest population in Alaska, it saw the greatest exodus of any other section in 1917 and the Cooper" steamships had not one thing to do with the calamity.
 In the hey day of their prosperity Douglas and Treadwell encouraged an Independent steamship, the Humboldt Treadwell company did not use the copper ships so they do not figure in the history of Treadwell development.
 Immediately after the Treadwell disaster, the Humboldt withdrew from the run showing at once how it de- pended upon that mine and the town
