I ' '' The Abbeville Press and Banner| BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. C., WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1909. ESTABLISHED 1844 f| * imajw IM Ii\i o a onru I A Question of Law. j Editor Press and Baimer : f Just after the public meeting at Zar-1 line, a short note appeared in the As-j sociate Reformed Presbyterian that did i ' me injustice and misrepresented tlie ' facts characterizing the meeting. Rev. O. Y. Ron tier, one of the editors of the Presbyterian, challenged a statement trmt i naa matie mere publicly, despite the faet that I produced positive proof that my statement was correct. I sought to* reply to the article in the Presbyterian, through its own columns, in as respectful language as I could commaud, and I was coolly denied this privilege. I can not conceive, even of a secular paper so grossly violatiug all the rules of journalism as to refuse to print a reply to its own editorial comment ; and for a religious or church paper to close its columns rather than admit the truth, is simply beyond comprehension. If Mr. Bonner was correct in the position he assumed at Zarline. the record would sustain him. If he was incorrect in his position, candor and fairness make it imperative that he acknowledge bis error, even if it is too late to repair the effect of his ? speech. It seems mat me rresoyierian npeus its columns only to those of its way of thinking. This is one way to be always right. It is the way of the despot, but it is a little unusual in a republic of frre institutions. I atn driven to the necessity of askiug that you print my reply to the editorial of the Presbyterian, which I feel sure you will do" with the facts thus explained. You may not always be right, but you are always fair. Juo. R. Blake. I notice the following statement of Mr. Robt. Galloway in the last issue of the A. R. Presbyterian, of which he is the local editor, in reference to the speaking at Zarliue on the 17th inst. "Following these two addresses Mr. John Blake of Abbeville was intro.Jus.cwl On/) morto a Inllir srippf'h ff>r tilt* UUVtU Uli\< UJMVIV M *V?|^ dispensary. The points were weak. Mr. Blake was cheered by his sympathizers. Rev. O. Y. Bonner followed him, and when he got through, there was not as much as a thread left of Mr. Blake's arguments. With discussions like this throughout the county, the fate of the dispensary would not be hard to foretell." It Is not a matter of vital importance to me as to Mr. Galloway's opinion of my speech. It is a fact, however, that of the only three county club9 which voted to retain the dispensary iti the I last election two, Keoweeand Bryant's Cross Roads, in whose midst the speaking was held, voted overwhelming y *>/\oa{K1tT hoH m\? "nni n to" iUl iit auu puooiwij uuu hjj been lit*le "weaker," they would have gone horsefoot and dragoon for it. But as it was, however, Keowee gave 43 : votes for the dispensary and 24 votes : against it. Bryant's Cross Roads gave 24 votes for the dispensary and 18 vote* against it. I submit that this vote shows thai the audieDce sustain me rather than Mr. Bonner. Mr. Galloway is no 1 doubt correct in saying "with discus. sions like this throughout the county 1 the fate of the di^peusary would not be hard to foretell." In representing any sort of a newspaper, it is universally conceded that an editorshould be governed more by facts than by the expression of personal feelings or partizin prejudice. The Press and Banner has the following notice of the same meetiog: "Mr. John R. Blake was the only nhamnion of the disuensary present, and when introduced proceeded to lay on Macduff iu a g< od Hhakesperian style. He threw a bomb into the audience when he read that part of the new law that forbids any person to keep iu his possession auy kind of whiskey in the State. Mr. Blake spoke for nearly an hour and was followed by Rev. O. Y. Bonner. At tbeoutsetof Mr. Bonner's talk, he denied that part of the law read by Mr. Blake as to the keeping of whiskey in possession, saying that it was not so, only a ruse, intimating that a man could keep it in his house if he so desired, and so legally." Now, Mr. Editor, there is clearly a question of veracity between Mr. Bonner and myself, as to the restrictions f *tr/\KiKitiAn 1 Q If U1 IUU (JK/UU'UIVU AM TV I stated that the law was too drastic. That it prohibited any person from keeping in his possession wiue or spirituous liquors. That wine could only be bought for sacramental purposes by a minister or the officer* of the churcb. Mr. Bonner in reply said, friends, he is fooling you. That is not the law. It does not prohibit keeping wine iu your possession," or words to that effect. Here is the law, let the public decide who tried to fool the people. Sec. 1. That it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or association wiibln this State to manufacture, sell, barter, exchange, receive, accept, give away to induce trade, deliver, store, keep in possession iu the State .... any spirituous malt, vinous, fermented, brewed, or other liquors and beverages. eec. 7. That it shall be unlawful to sell wine for sacramental purposes ex-. cept to a minister, pastor, priest or! regular constituted officers of a regu-j larly organized religious congregation or church. i This is the liW. Now, who's fooliDg the folks. Ask the voters of Keowee and Bryant's Cross Roads. I QUESTIONS FOR TEACHERS. Orange City (^a.) Herald.

Brougbton, the wellknown pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle church, aud head of the Tabernacle enterprizee, may be tendered a call to the pastorate of Westminister chapel, Congregational church, London, England, i* the interesting news told at a banquet of the deacons of the Tabernacle church Thursday night by Rev. J. L. Campbell, of Cambridge, Mass., who is filling the Tabernacle pulpit during Dr. Broughton's absence. Dr. Brougbton is at present in New York city, where be is temporarily filling the pulpit of the Fifth-ave. Presbyterian church, which he has done during the summer for the last few year*. Will Tend Him Call. The story told by Dr. Campbell, which he stated came from New York city, is that Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, pastor of the London churcb, will likely be called to the Fifth-ave. Presbyterian church, New York, and that in that event the English church want ed Dr. Brougbton ana would likely ten tier him a call. Westminister chapel is one of the largest and most popular churches in the Brittish capital. Tho called a Congregational church, it is stated that its doctrines are in harmony with Baptist beliefs. 1 The Fifth-ave. Presbyterian church is likewise one of the wealthiest and most powerful churches in the world. Dr. Or. Campbell Morgan 1h well known among Baptists of the United States.

BREAK RECORDS IN MULLET FISHING North Carolinians Catch Half a Million Pounds?Find Schools Miles Long. Beafort N.

Lethe Well Managed McCormick Messenger It shall be gratifying to the people of Abbeville County to read of conditions at tbe Lethe Home as portrayed by Mr. W. C. Shaw in an article which we copy from the Press and Banner. Lethe is one of the oldest of the industrial schools in the United States, having been established a hundreds-years or more, and great numbers of boys ? I 1 ? _ J ana gins wave ueeu euuu?i?u lucre. 1 From the article referred to it is apparent that the trustees are faithfully discharging their duties by making various improvements and by choosing suitable men as superintendents. Mr. Hagan has served four yearn as superintendent, and Mr. Shaw says he was the right man in the right place. We are sure that his successor, Mr. Geo. Watkins, will be equally faithful and efficient. 80 the tru-tees are to be commended for the good judgment exercised in selecting men for the responsible position of superintendent. We join the Messenger in complimenting the Board of Trustees in securing the service of Mr. Geo. Watkins sis manager of the Lethe School. Mr. Watkins is the possessor of a great big ( heart that emminently qualifies him ? for just such a position. Those who know Mr. George Watkins know few d men into whose hands they would rath- J sr their children would fall than into bis. A man at the head of an orphan asylum ought to be such a man. The c poor fatherless children gathered there c should be made to feel that they have c at least, a heme if tfjey have'nt pa- * rents. f The Trustees of the School have f been fortunate in their selections of t managers. They have made no mis- * fftkn In suwnrlncr the HArvloes of Mr. t George Watkins. y t E y Miss Marie Cromer in Aiken.' J Miss Marie Cromer of Abbeville t County wbo baa been teaching in o Aiken for some time returned there " last'week to read a paper before the 0 Educational rally in that county. I The Aiken Journal gives the follow- q Ing epitome of Miss Cromers address? a MISS CROMER'S ADDRESS. C Miss Cromer is president of the 3 Aiken County School Improvement s association. Miss Cromer said that f the teachers in the schools are the 1 watchmen over the educational inter- 1 eats of communities and urged that 1 more care be exercised in the selection 1 of teachers. Teachers are needed who will train the mind and morals of the 1 children, and who will be willing to hornmfl a nnwer for flrood in acommun ity. Such teachers are of as much benefit te a community as business men or women. The teachers should be cheerful, have a love for children, and should strive to make men and women of character. She deplores the salary that is paid teachers here, statins: tbat it is one of the reason wby efficient teachers can not always be procured, teachers who will always teach that character and character alone is what counts in the world. When Jack Baldwin Prayed. An old man in Georgia named Jack Baldwin, having lost his hat in an old dry well one day, hitched a rope to a stump and let himself down. A wicked wag named Neal came along just then and quietly detatching a bell from Baldwin's old blind horse, approached the well, bell in band, and began to ting-a-ling. Jack thought the old horee was coming and said: "Hang the old blind horse! He's coming this way sure; be ain't got no more sense than to^all in on me. Whoa Ball!" The souDd came closer. "Great Jerusalem! The old blind fool will be right on top of me in a minute! Whoa, Ball! Whoa, haw, Ball!" Neal kicked a little dirt on Jaok's head, and Jack began to pray: "Oh, Lord, have mercy on?whoa ?Ball!?a poor sinner?I'm gone now Whoa. Ball! Our Father who art in ?whoa, Ball?hallowed be Thy?gee, Ball, gee! What'll I do? Now I lay me down to si?gee, Ball!" Just then in fell more dirt.

T The enterprising manager of our ^ )hone system, which, by the way, is ^ >ne of the best conducted systems in Q( his part of the country, has recently M ;otten out a new directory with a reused list of subscribers, in which the i_ jouse or store you wish to speak to by ^ lumber. Suppose you wish to speak u o Mr. Smith, and his number is 75. M tVhen central answers and asks what a, lumber, say 4,seven-flve, seventy-five." ft By repeating each number separately ^ ind then putting tbem together "Cen- m ral" is almost sure to hear distinctly u he number you wisb. Then, when Mr. Smith takes down his receiver, if le knows bow to answer the phone, le will not say, "Halloo! who is this?" Did you ever stop to think that this is M lot only a poor way to answer the ? ihone but that it is bad grammar? 01 be two pronouns this and that, this ?r efers to the nearer object, that to the <p] nore remote object. So do not say, 'Halloo, who is this?" when probably r* rou are several miles from the person to vdo nas answereu, auu you are naiting (0 iim to guess who yon are, just like bt rou do a little child when you wish it pc o call the names of several people, wi Ifou put your finger on one and say, so 'Who is this?" But when you call nc ome one and the answer comes, "Hel- i? o," say "Who is that?" Buttoreturn o Mr. Smith. He takes down his releiver and says "75." or "Mr. Smith." rhen the one Who has called him, says gi 'This is Mr. Love," and the conversa- u ion begins.
