In the same paper we notico an account th of a county sheriff urging a citizen to arm ai himself for his personal protection against th men who threaten his life and also the in- na troduction of a bill prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons. th A law against carrying concealed wea pons Is in many respects not an ideal law. ?l When such a law is enacted it will be openly and flagrantly broken by that very class ?o to whom the law is supposed to apply, jC] while the law-abiding citizen is robbed of vt protection in that he obeys the law and is tr 'i thus unprotected, when he should be pro- ju I- tec ted. ca So openly and wilfully is such a law broken by the pistol "toting" class that nG the enactment of such a law seems of doubtful propriety. mi The honest, upright, law-abiding citizen fei should be protected and safeguarded from fef outlaws, and it is the duty of the State to ty give them that protection if possible. w] No one believes that the enactment and enforcement of the pistol "toting" law is taken seriously by the pistol "toting" k j class. They treat the law with utter contempt, and until our officials find some way to enforce this law it were better left ag ofT of the statute book. co in, And now comes the Anderson Daily Mail au with a news item suggesting that Lowndesville, may 1b the near future start a su movement, to go into Anderson county. lu Only so much of Lowndesville Township as lies west of Rocky River is involved in Wl the suggested movement. The complaint pr of the people of the Lowndesville section, ^ as we understand It is that their roads w( ; " have hot been worked promptly. ?n The Prefes and Banner is not undertak- l3U / Ing to speak for the people of Lowndeevllle, but it Is hard to believe that the people of Lowndesville do not appreciate the an great difflbulties under which this county wi has labored since the flood of 1908. Then ln ' . something like $35000, worth of bridges el< were swept away, or It has taken that 411 much to replace' them with iron bridges; .all the roads Of the county were badly ne washed, and the county at the same time t*1 lost the dispensary revenue, amounting to more than fifty thousand dollars a year for rt' all purposes. ^ ?v'-. . , ' These patters ture not mentioned as an ' appeal to our friends at Lowndesville, for th we believe they are broad minded enough T1 themselves to appreciate them. It is mere- ha ly suggested that when time has been Sc allowed for the county to adjust itself to ed Its curtailed income and its increased re- in! sponslbllity, Lowndesville will have no be ground to complain of the conduct of the "b liyr mother county. ed In all 'the years past, Abbeville and \ Lowndesville have been closely linked by ml bonds of "affinity, consunguinity, and th marriage," not to mention the fact that th politically they have stood close together. th< With no deflnate information on the sub- W, ject, we do not believe that Lowndesville b& . will lightly break the bonds that Abbeville ] 'so highly appreciates, and that she appre- ,Ju ? elates in an absolutely unselfish spirit. tai _ C mUrnH Uf.n| Ik. TpaIIav ** WHIN i nam ihv py A citizen of Abbeville, Incognito, hap- en pened to be in a hotel in Clinton some wc weeks ago when the Clinton delegation re- ca] turned from a trip to see the Dukes in an he effort to secure the much talked of trolley line. The delegation seemed to be very pri much disgusted, apd like the fox in the i fable, said they didn't Want it anyway. qq\ They seemed to think there was no ^ doubt but that the road would go to Abbe- mi ille. Of course this means provided Abbeviile does its whole duty. ga An amusing idea gathered from the con- jj, . versation was that the delegation thought ^ our former fellow townsman, Mr. A. W. Smith, was of the Dukes. Now, Mr. Smith is just one of those things in heart and C0| soul and influence, but he doesn't belong ] to that particular family. ya The moral that we would point is, that ap with L. W. Parker and A. W. Smith, two of j Abbeville's sons whose influence must be aw felt for us, and with Captain Sinythe not pQ unfriendly to. us, tto. signs of the times mf are good t do ouj col {/111 mAr* v Postal Savings BankWhat Is to be done "with a democrat when th< he joins in voting with a Republican? thJ Twenty-four Democrats joined with the Republicans in voting for the Postal Savings Bank Bill. The Bill passed by a majority of ninety-four. Opinions differ as to the advantages to be derived from a postal savings Bank. Some seem to think it would help the peo- H pie while others' thiqk it would do us harm, to It Is a Republican institution and that is ^ enough for most southerners. It is diffi- th oult to see how such an institution will pa harm the individual. It will only increase Jj* his banking facilities. en Prize Fighting Tabooed. Gov. James N.

Una Press Association was a most j i pleasant and profitable one. The Assoc-1( iation met according to schedule at L a Glenn's Springs on Monday, the 13th.. L s instant with about two hundred newt.' i- paper people in attendenee. i- Interesting papers were read and int struct!ve talks made 011 many phases of f the newspaper work. Especial mention j should be made of the talk made by Mr. j Poe of the Progressive Farmer of Raleigh, ^ J N. C. Mr. Poe took for his subject the t development of North and South Carolina. ^ The burden of his talk was education. . C J! The only way to develop our country * with its material resources Is to develop j f the human resources The si>eech was a r 0 plain practical talk, and was listened to t e with pleasure and profit by every mem- j s ber of the Association. It was intended that the Association . |? J j be given an automobile ride from Glenn's j 1- to Spartanburg Via Cedar Springs, but ^ y owing to the rains this project was , g abandoned. On Wednesday afternoon, ( 0 however, the Association went to Spartan- ( e burg via the Glenn Spring's Railway and was taken in automobiles to Cedar | Springs. , e 1 AT CEDAIt SPBINGS. ' Many members of the Press Association < o had never paid a visit to this State insti- ' oHiino+Jon r>f rifiaf and f . IfUUVU IV! U11V VV4UWW1W? v. - - . the blind, and to such this visit was a revelation. On arrival the visitors were taken to I the auditorium of the institution where a printed program was handed each, j The Association was greeted by an 6 Anthem?"Gloria In Excelsis"?sung by (j, the blind pupils. It would be a difficult. matter to find a class that could sing i r with the same volume, rythm, and per- 1 feet time as does this class of blind pupils. s Class demonstration work was then 1 taken up In order to show the editors i how the blind children are taught. < 1 FORMER ABBEVILLE BOY RECITES. f All know that the blind read by means * J of raised letters, but all do not Know tnai 3 they can make these raised letters and t thus* write whatever they wish. By i means of a small instrument they are j r enabled to make any character in our 1 alphabet in raised letters. A pupil wrote , from dictation, and this was read by * ? another pupil, and typewritten by another : i showing with what facility the blind can 3 express thought in permanent form, Ono , wonderful demonstration was the state- ' b ment and proof of an abstruse propo , slition in Geometry by Bemus Jones. 1 i formerly of this city. The facility and 1 correctness with which he rendered his 1 proof would do credit to an older pupil endowed with every sense. The pupil gets a mental picture of the iigurewith all its points and lines and then proceed with the proof just as any[other pupils would. Exercise with the deaf and blind is '' just as necessary as it is with others, and 1 even more so. A demonstration in pyra? mid building with the deaf pupils showed ? wonderful agility and strength. At a | given sign they rushed into foim, one above and on the shoulders of the other J in pyramid form just as do acrobats in TKA /lamAnof li\n TTU Q ' ? UUt UUUUOCOl 4.UC7 uuuivuouuvt'/u ?>wu t worth seeing. Gymnasium work of the deaf girls was 1 3 also an interesting sight to witness. Th 1 r butterfly dance wafi given by them and ' strange to say, to music. Of course the ^ music was only for the benefit of the I j audience. The girls were directed in I their movements by Bigns madti by the i j teacher. Their movements were just as 1 I rythmical as those in a similar- exercise ] at any other .jchool. The editors wore 6 ' so pleased with the demonstration? that ] ' they freduently applauded the children. < t Applauding the deaf would seem to be i } wasted energy but they understand what i j s meant through the sense of sigh);. i BLIND AND DEAF. J1 There is at the institution one pupil I that is blind and deaf. Dewey Cantrell, ' a child of ten or twelve years, who lives ' in a world of utter darkness and utter silence. He is totally blind and totally 5 deaf. How it is possible to kindle the } spark of intelligence and fan it to a ' flame in such a case is sometliing difficult ' to understand. And yet it has been done. This child can talk rapidly with its lingers. The beginning was most difficult* His teachers said that it was nece.jsary to make him do without several meals in order to teach him the one little word ' "eat", which was the iirst that he learned ^ to spell on his fingers. J SINGING BY SIGNS. J Another .strange sight afforded the - editors In this demonstration work was the singing of the deaf mute6. They 1 sang by signs the hymn, "Onward Chist? ian Soldier." At the same time it was also sung by a class of blind pupils, so that hearing the words and seeing the signs at one and the same time the ob1 sarver could see the analogy between words and signs. Paradoxical as it may seem, the deaf sing at Cedar Springs. !. The Superintendent of the institution, ? Prof. Walker, made an address to the 'I editors which was simultaneously transi lated to the dumb by his son who is a 1 teacher in the institution, To this address ~ Mr. August Kohn, President of the Asi sociation, replied. The reply was also translated to the deaf through the medium of the fingers. The time spent at Cedar Springs will prove profitable to both the Association ? and to the school. I AT 8PABTAXBURG. ? A reception was given the editors on 3 their return to Spartanburg in the beauti3 ful halls of Converse. The address of welcome was made by Dr. Snyder, while t the members of the Association regaled r themselves on dainty salads and coffee. ^ Alter me auuress ui wuicuim*, tuc ouiwio [ j were taken to the auditorium where one i t of the largest pipe orgaus in the whole t land is located. Here the members were i , treated to a concert. < On Wednesday evening those of the editors who took in the excursion went aboard the sleeping cars which had been 3 provided for them and which awaited I - them at the depot. Seven sleepers and J dining cars made up the train. 1 OFF FOR JOHNSON CITY. t Thursday morning the party left over i t the C. C. and O. road for the Clinchlield t Coal Fields. J i This road has just been finished from t t Spartanburg to Dunte, (pronounced "davt,, | 1 a distance of over two hundred miles. i ? No road in the South oilers traveller i 1 grander scenery than is to be seen along < 0 the line of the C. C. and 0. Railway. It is ] 0 ono |continuous climb from Spartumlurg ' f ' S - , ;T- : . , _ *? . ?^ ? v*' v.x> Alta Pa*s, the higest point on tho road. To reach this elevation the road makes bindings, tunnels, evolutions, loops .and eaps which am unsurpassed in twentieth :entury railroad construction. From the ;rain the sight of the great mountain, dot;ed with blooming azaleas and RhododenIras, tovrering thousands of feet into th^ lir, is inspiring. No road in tho south offers the traveler grander sconcry than is to bo seen along he line of tho C. C. and 0. Railway. It s one continous climb from Spartanburg o Alta pass, the highest point on the oad. To reach this elevation tho road nakes windings, tunnels, evolutions, loops tnd leaps which are unsurpassed in rWentieth century railraod construction, from the train the sight of the great nountain, towering thousands of feet into he air.dotted with blooming Azaleas and Ihododendrans, is inspiring. After leaving South Carolina no cotton ilantistobe seen along the line of this oad, but at this season of tho year the Theat fields golden in its ripened stato nake a picture that rivals the beauty of ;ho opened cotton, Wheat, corn and oats, ire in evidence every where. Every few miles an old "over shot" water mill greets the eye and adds a (maint picturesqueness to the mountian scenery. The people along the line are not yet ac[jostomed to the unusual sight of a train of Pulmans, and everywhere they stop to uaze. At every station, flat cars are seen loaded with poplar logs showing timi mo forests are beginning already to be denuded of their finest trees. Saw mills play a prominent part. The homes along the route are on the whole much better than one would expect to see. In some instances the homte are bare shelters, and hardly that. Along the right of way contractors had built houses for their men and covered them with paper, and in one instance amountainer had ieft his log ho ise and had taken his abode n the paper-covered cabin left by the contractors. One striking; chfiracteristic of this West;rn Nort.hCarolinaJcounty is that the i;ravelrsees no land lying idle. Every piece of irable land is being cultivated. It would >e a source of a musement to the Abbe* /file county farmers to see^some of the illlsides. that are cultivated by the moun t_ ??i0?0Q jg g0 taineers. ill a:iui y -? steep that It ii) impossible to plow it and yet the Intrepl d farmer works it with a aoe. In some instances it is difficult to see bow he get6 into his field without the aid 3f a ladder. In approaching Alta Pass'-from the 30uth a sight of one of the finest pieces of railroad construction in the land is offord9d the excursionist. This slope is so steeo that in order to mantain a low grade and over come, in a direct distance of 4( miles a height of 1300 feet,{it has been necessary to wind the road for a distance of over 20 miles in and out among the peaks, thru tunnels and over ridges. Seven passes aro necessary in forming the loops and seventeen tunnels in so many miles. From here may be seen Mount Mltchel, oamed.after Dr. Mltchel who lost his life slimbing it and who is burridtf on it; Clingmans Dome. Hawk Bill, Table Rock, and many others. Mount Mltchel is the peak east of the Rockies. Here the construction of the road cost $195,000 per mile for a distance of 20 miles. The average cost of the entire road per mile was aver 1.100,000. THE HIGHSET POINT. On reaching Alta Pass the road passes ;hru a tunnel and thence it is down hill to ihe Mississippi. Here the train stopped ind gave the excursionists an opportunity ;o climb the Ridge and enjoy the unsurpassed scenej-y. Many enjoyed the wild strawberries t hat cover the mountain in arofusion. Here mountaineers onerea sherries for eale in baskets ingenuously nade of poplar bark. The baskets were lot woven bui; marked with a knife, bent ind tied, so as to answer the purpose of a lasket. DO"VN miiL TO DANTE. After passirg through the Ridge tunnel ;he road dropis into the valley of the Toa River and father on into the gorge of the lolichucky. It was up this gorge that the Citizens of Tennessee came to help the Carolinians ,hrow off the English yoke ill the battle of King's Mountain. Not far from the railroad on an eminence the daughters of the \merican Revolution have erected a monument to the memory of these brave and uyall Tennej.eeans. It was down this gorge that DanielBoone 'ound his way beyond the mountains Into ;he bluegrasj county. This valley and gorge is one of the finest East of the Rokies, and when it is better idvertised will be the mecca of excursunsts and sight-seers. Few places on the nap can compare with it in its grandeur md sublimity. There is no use to try to Jescribe such a scene, for it is not in man io do it. It :is a picture painted by a Master Hand and copies in description 'all short of the mark. Passing out of this gorge Into a broad ind beautiful valley of golden grain and grazing land, the train stops a few minites at Marion before eutering the Clinch Mountain Tunnel. This tuhnel is about a nil# long. Tfce immense ridge extends as far as the eya can see in either direction md towers to a great height above the plain. Just beyond this tunnel on the Virginia ind east Tennessee railroad is the na .ural ;nnnel, where the train passes through ;he mountain by wap of an immense cave Four hundred feet on either side the walls >f the entrance tower above the river .vhich flows through the cave. The Avails ire solid rock and present a most imposng picture. As an art gallery is filled from time to ;ime with masterpiees in paintings and >culpturs, so the mental art gallery of the ndividual is filled from time to time with mpressions of scenes which will last for ife and which will prove a continual deight to to the owner. The Editors added their stock of mental picture, some nasterpieces on this trip which will be a :lelight for life. IN A COAL MINE. Down the mountain we go. until the ?reat Clincklield Coal mines are reached. This is our destination. All are in antlci)ation, we are about to see a coal mine he train stops at the company's, and de)ot where the sales average 840,000 per nonth. Benches are placed on flat car9 and ,he engine begins to climb the mountain. It the mines everything is done by elecricity. Small cars which carry coal are provided and into these the editors arc tiled preparitory to a trip through the nine.
