LUTHER GET YOUR HAT

There has developed in Abbeville
keen competition in the growing OF
yellow cosmos, and if Luther Bur
bank dropped in unexpectedly he
would have to take to the woods.
Mrs. D. H. Hill, Miss Nae Robertson,
and Misses Oney and Caro- Morse
came in for special notice recently
because of their cultivation of the
yellow cosmos. 1t comes out now that
the garden of Mrs. c. c. Gambrell in
the heart of the city is wonderful
sight with it's beds of yellow cosmos.
But that is not all. The women
folks of Abbeville County are coming
right to the front. Mrs. W. J. Nc
Kee from near Due West has sent
down the most beautiful specimens
yet seen. They are double. cosmos of
the new orchid shades and of pure
white. The outer or. bottom is the
old fashioned cosmos with six or
eight fiat leaves, while the center is
very double and resembles a double
aster. The shades are the delicate
aster shades. It is a flower of ex-
quisite grace.
Now, if there are other wonderful
flowers in the County the women
fought to tell the newspapers about
them.

THE FIRST GUN
Maine Stands Pat-Nelson Rambles in
Easy Winner.

Washington. March 2S,- Especial
correspondence). - The Republicans
have been very agreeably surprised
and the Democrats severely disappoint-
ed by the result of the special election
in the Third Congressional District of
Maine. The Democrats expected an
enormous slump in the Republican
plurality. The Republicans, knowing
that the election of 1920 reflected an
abnormal situation, were free to ad-
nit that there would probably be n
very great reduction in the Republi-
can lead. The result, however, shows
that both were mistaken. The Repub
lean candidate received 81 per cent
of the total vote as compared with &c
per cent in the landslide year 1920.
In 1910 the Third Congressional
District of Maine was carried by the
Democrats. Since that time the per-
centage of votes by which the Repub-
Leans won were as follows:
1912-51 per cent.
1914-51 per cent.
1864 per cent.
191S-58 per cent.
1920-66 per cent.
1922-62 per cent.
OF course, the Democrats, pursuing
their usual policy of manipulating fig
ures to deceive the public, will call at
tention to the fact that the majority
at the special election in 1922 is far
smaller than the majority at the gen.
eral election in 1920. They will ig-
more the fact that the smaller majori-
ty was due to the smaller total vote.
In every State and in every Congress
ional District there is always small
Ter vote in a special election than in
general election where the import
ance of the contest and the number of
offices to be filled draws a larger num-
Der of voters to the polls. The only
fair way of determining the trend of
public opinion is by comparison of
percentages. In this respect the show
ing is all to the credit of the Republi-
can party.

bank, which was then located in the
Pike and Deeter block in the room
now occupied by the Lamar Book and
Music store.
In the spring of 1907 the bank
bought the Foley building at the cor
ner of Main street and Railroad ave-
nue., where it remained until it's re-
moval to its present new quarters.
The bank received its national charter
on March l., 1908, at which time the
capital stock was increased to $4,000.
C. NJ. Lee, the present president, was
chosen to fill that place at the time of
the death of Mr.. Strain which occurred
in the spring of 1918.
L. F. Adams, cashier of the bank,
died in the summer of 1912, and his
brother, X. E. Adams, was elected to
fill the vacancy, which position he still
holds.
Shows Splendid Growth.
The Lamar National Bank has
shown a steady growth in keeping with
the development of the country tribu-
tary to Lamar and Prowers county. Its
officers and directors are pioneer and
substantial citizens of this section and
are to be congratulated upon such
substantial financial institution.
The officers, directors and employees
of the Lamar National Bank are as fol-
lows: President, C. NJ. Lee; vice pres
ident, B. T. McClave; cashier, Ray f.
Adams; assistant cashier, w. w.
Cooper; directors, besides the forego-
ing, NJ. ]. McMillin and A. Deeter. The
employees of the bank are C. f. Ver-
rail-, Grant Stearns- Smith, Elizabeth
Ford and Mrs. Curtis H. Gentry.
The Lamar National Bank is To-
Gated in one of the best agricultural
towns in the West. Surrounded by
much rich irrigated land with splen-
did grazing ranges farther back, it is
the center of intensified farming, at
the same time the center of extensive
cattle and sheep activities.
1t is because of the constructive and
liberal policies adopted by the banks
of Lamar that the farmers have found
here co-workers in the town, and to-
gether-pulling acknowledgements
has been achieved in community
way.
