Wednesday, May 29, 1912 Again we rise to ask what lias be come of the Board of Trade? Isn't it about time to begin some active work to make the County Fair tiiis fall the best ever? The dispensary graft cases are now on trial in Columbia. The case of "Hub" Evans was called yesterday. Paper dealers are daily sending out notices of advanced prices on all grades of writing and printing paper. The Columbia Record speaks of a young man having been shot in the country. No doubt a dangerous wound. As a producer of champion long distance dispensers of picturesque political phraseology Georgia takes the cake, as witness the fight between Torn Watson and Tom Felder. With Thomas W. Lawson a candi date for the United States Senate in Massachusetts, the prospect is fair for some "frenzied" politics in the Bay Stnt#V Perhaps by the time that century plant blooms again in Charleston they will use lawn mowers instead of cows to keep the grass out of the streets.

Mayor Grace of Charleston, xpeak ing through the columns of his week ly, Common Sense, alleges that mon ey was sent to Columbia to purchase immunity for the liquor interests ot his city. It is up to the mayor to ex plain who received this money. The public will await further light with interest. Major J. C. Hemphill has an nounced his resignation as editor of the Charlotte Observer, which post he has tilled with such signal ability. MqJ. Hemphill will be connected with the editorial staff of the New York Times. The Major is a native of Abbeviile and his many friends here wish him abundant success in the broader field to which he has been called. For Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary of the South Carolina Historical So ciety, we have the most profound respect, and when he says that the seal recently presented to the Confed erate museum in Richmond is the genuine seal of the Confederacy we are inclined to accept his opinion as worthy of all respect. The absolute authentication of this instrument as 1 ti / i we ungual swii ui uie VAJUieueracy should set at rest the many rumors as to the disposition of that interest ing article. THE UNIVERSITY. Elsewhere is published an adver tisement of the University of South Carolina. The outreach of this insti tution in many forms of public ser vice is striking and its broadened scope and consequent increased use fulness is a source of gratification to the friends of the University. Ex cellent opportunities are offered by the University to young meti of lim ited means to prepare themselves ft r their life work. The teachers' scholarships in the University of South Carolina, worth $100 in money and exemption from fees, offer a fine chance for the young men of this county. lhe university of south Carolina is now under a full head of steam. Efficiency has marked the past session to a remarkable degree. More than 400 students were present. A new auditorium is now building, which will be of great advantage. The sep arate Y. M. C. A. building, with a permanent secretary giving his whole energy to the moral and religious life of the students, is a fact of prime importance. The spacious gymna sium with good baths, the modern , infirmary with a trained nurse in at tendance, are splendid means of in- 1 suring the health of students. The outreach ol the University in many forms of public service is grip ping the people of the whole State. Close attention is given to the indi vidual student. < LET tiOOB WORK GO I In announcing in the last issue of1 The Press and Banner that the Abbe ville Cotton Mil! had set aside funds, to retire the first preferred stock of the company, amounting to one hun dred and twenty-five thousand dol lars, and in addition to this had de-, clared a semi-annual dividend of( three per cent., we stated a fact that should cause every citizen of Abbe ville to reflect over our neglected op portunity for contributing to the growth of the city. There has been a lurking suspicion that the Abbeville Cotton Mill would eventually be gobbled up by non-resi /1<m Jrlotv tirVinn in fonf if V1V.11 1/ oiiA r\uv;jutiOj u u^u in inw iv developes that the reverse of this is true. The holders of the common stock are coming into their own. Something more than a year ago Mr. J. Allen Smith undertook to raise subscriptions for another cotton mill at Abbeville. Subscriptions to the amount of approximately one hundred thousand dollars were rais ed, and with this in hand Mr. Smith went to New York. Mill men gen erally discouraged the building of a new mill, and few would talk of in vestment. Mr. Milliken alone pro posed to help us, offering to raise four hundred thousand dollars which with the one hundred thousand rais ed here would have given the town a five hundred thousand dollar mill. Some of the local subscribers would not hear to this and for a second time the mill fell through. This paj>er stated at the time that the mill was the all important fact and who contributed away from home was a secondary consideration. Events have shown that the interests of the local subscribers would have been fully protected in the hands of Mr. Milliken and his friends. But suppose the local stockholders had not realized on their stock for some years, the incidental advan tages to the town would have more than compensated. The Abbeville Cotton Mill and the shops have add ed one hundred per cent, to the value of city property and three hundred per cent, to lands near the city. An other mill would certainly sustain present high values and would prob ably add tifty per cent, thereto. It is a fact well known among ex perienced mill men that the time to build mills is when the outlook is apparently gloom est. Then mill machinery is at low cod; unu su changing, is the outlook in the mill business that building in hard time* may have you equipped for business for the flood tide of prosperity. Such would have In-en the caw with our proposed new mill. This year will prove one of the best in the history of mills. Is it too late to renew the old sub scription list and again get busy? Abbeville needs a mill. She should not allow the lead of neighboring towns to reach that point which will absorb all outside investment coming into the Piedmont country. The invester likes a live town and it rests with the neoDle of Abbeville whether or not she will be set down in that class. AN UNNECESSARY MENACE. One feature of the shooting-up ol the town last Thursday which is nough to make any thoughtful man stop and ponder, is the ease with which any person, however irrespon sible, may obtain firearms with which to endanger the lives of good citizens, and perhaps of women and children. ..That the fatalities resultant from the affair were no greater was more a matter of good lack than of good guidance. One shudders to think what might have happened had some innocent child been unfortunately placed in the Hue of tire from the weapon of this evidently demented man. That such a condition is made possible is a rebuke to our civiliza tion, and one that all good men should endeavor to have remedied. We believe nothing but a law impos ing a heavy license upon the sale of pistols and cartridges, making their cost practically prohibitive, will ever have the desired effect. Such a law, rigidly enforced, would at least tend to minimize an evil that is an ever growing menace. A THOUGHTFUL SERMON Dr. Moflfatt Makes Stronir Ad. peal for Law Enforcement. At the uDion services Sunday evening; at the Presbyterian church Dr. J. 8. Mof fatt, president of Erskine College, deli vered an especially thoughful sermon. Dr. Mof fatt is a preacher of great power and holds the attention of his congregation through out his discourse. His treatment of the subject "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" was logical and convinc ing. He pointed out the danger which confronts the American people of sowing the seeds of lawlessness as evidenced In Increased violations of the law against homicide, the violence attendant upon labor troubles, the ruthless disregard of the rights of the people by the great cor porations, the prevalence of mob rule evi denced in lynching for crimes of different character and the seemingly growing dis respect for the courts aud other agencies for law enforcement, constituting a menace to organized society that If un - L - J ?? ^/v knln?? k n UftnifAO^ UlltNJKtJU W OO UUUI1U IA/ uiiu^ ivl iai a nai v w?u i of wreck and ruin.

To the Editor the Press and Banner: Importuned by the ladies of the Civie League, the City Council has put into effect a most unreasonable and arbitrary law, prohibiting own ers of dogs allowing them to run at large. Dogs from time out of mind have been the subject of hostile legislation j and even more hostile treatment. The owner of a dog in Abbeville; pays a tax of 12 cents and a license of fifty cents to the county treasurer, and then a tax of six cents and a li cense of a dollar to the city, a total of $1.68; and despite tax and license j he must now tie up his dog or have! him killed. Either the license or the restraint is wrong, and in our opinion, neither would stand the test of the courtw. Even an unoffending dog should not suffer death for the mere whim of the Civic League or the Council. The dog is man's most faithful friend. All the world may desert him ; his wife and family may turn their backs on him, but if he has been kind to his dog he will always meet him with a wag of histatl and motion of his body that pay more plainly than words, "I am your willing and faith ful servant until death." You may be reduced to poverty; the cold win ter's wind may blow through a hun dred cracks in your humble cabin ; half-starved yourself, your dog may fare even worse; yet he will lie at vour door and tmard vnur humble home as faithfully as though it were a princely palace. With instinct more penetrating than human judg ment, he looks alike through rags or royal purple and divines the real man despite his vestment. No other animal is so faithful or so affectionate. The cat, for instance, likes a close house, hot fires and warm rugs. When poverty comes in at the door the cat usually goes out at the window. The dog's intelligence in emer gency is worthy of mention. We know personally of an instance in point: A child was being charged by an infuriated bull and w,ouId most certainly have been gored'and tram pled to death. A large bull dog, see ing the danger, caught the bull in the nose and threw him, thus en abfiug the mother of the child to reach it and bear it to safety. Many authentic stories are told of dogs saving children from drowning. Moved by a sense of danger, they have been known to awaken the in mates of a burning house, who might have perished but for the timelv warning. The dog is the most intelligent of all animals. Instinct, aided by the sense of smell which they possess in , such a marked degree, enable them! often to outwit human intelligence. We recall two instances of our per-1 sonal knowledge: A man of ourac-j quaintance had visited his water-; melon patch, and in stooping down . to thump his melons, had lost from' ms vest pocKei a smau ron 01 money, some twenty or thirty dollars. He| looked for it in vain, and finally had his son to come down and help ,him. The son had a retrieving pointer, that had been trained to find and bring in things that had been thrown out. He suggested to his father that he let the dog smell some object that he carried about his person and make as if he had thrown it out into the patch. This was done. The dog searched the patch in a little while, and with such care that the parties were not greatly surprised to see him returning with the money in his foouth. A pro'fessor in a near-by college had a dog of which he was very fond, that he kept at his father's home. He took him with him on one occa sion to the college, and, being a little absentrminded, left his dog at the railroad station and went to the col lege, about two miles distant. The dog in some inconceivable way found j bis master's trunk on the platform! and laid down by it. When the bag gage man went to get the trunk, the dog charged at him so furiously that he had to retreat. All the other j trunks were removed, but not this one. The dog's master had to come; back and get dog and trunk together. { We make this plea for the dog be-1 cause the great majority of those I who own dogs can not defend them, j The poorest man may have his dog, and he may not possess any other living thing on earth. Weak and defenseless though he be, and simple as is his property right, the rigorous arm of the law should not be raised against it without provocation. T Iiqvq houn in tlm huhil nf prmiimr to Abbeville and would like to keep coming, but it grates on my patience to have my dog kicked around town merely for taking a nap on the gra&s.j A Friend of the Dog. j ABBEVILLE CITIZENS ARE HONORED.

Record Living Costs. Savannah News. For a number of years Bradstreets has kept a record of the cost of commodities, basing an average of the cost of them on "index numbers." The agency has report ed that on May 1 the level was the highest reached at any time since it has been keep ing the records, or for more than 20 years. The rise was 9.7 per cent., as compared with a year ago. The Press and Baseball. News and Courier. That baseball pwes much of its popular ity to the publicity given it by the press was strikingly shown during the recent newspaper strikes in Chicago. The papers were forced to give the national game little space, .or none at all. The result was a very noticeable falling off in attendance at the league games, and at amateur games also. The newspapers have made baseball the national sport. Success has never been able to resist the persistent wooing of publicity, in baseball or in any thing else. One of the llrst men in this country to recognize this was John Wana maker, and Theodore Itoosevert has grasped the Idea even more fully than the great merchant. The Perils of Strenuosity. St. Louis Times. Now the pendulum Qf popular thought has swung back, and the rank and file of men know that the strenuous life is far from being what it was thought to be. So berer minds hold that the American peo ple are already too strenuous, the most strenuous people in the world, and that they incur special riske, and miss special enjoyments, because of their bad habit of going at full speed. It was adhesion to the rule of doing things on the strenuous plan that sent the Titanic to tho bottom of the sea. Belief in the strenuous derails nearly all the trains that carry people to sudden death. The strenuous life is responsible :'or a ma jor part of the physical and mental ills of the American people. The Greatest Harm. Greenville News. A sensible western paper remarks that Colonel Roosevelt is misleading the youth of the land through his intolerant speec'j and his vicious attack on Mr. Taft.

Ho may destroy Mr. Taft, or so stigmatize him that he will cease to be considered as an exemplar, and that is contemptible enough, but the colonel, in his rage, is doing some thing far worse when he drags the high office of chief magistrate in the mire. And while the young men are thus being dis illusioned it is assure as anything can be that thousands of older men, who knew something of life and politics, and who can read character and motives, are iilled with dismay and disgust as they behold a hu miliating performance new to their experi ence and unparalleled in the history of presidential campaigns. Nothing that the Democrats have charged to Mr. Taft is as bald as the accusations by Colonel Roosevelt. The latter is not alone destroy ing Republican regard for its own chosen leadership, but he is furnishing daily am unition for the common enemy. He is purchasing a new lease of power, or try ing to purchase it, at the sacrifice of those very elements and many virtues which in nt-.hfir vfiiirs Hiwtinciiishftd hi 111 as an exno nent of all that was fair, square and just.

Selfridge, U.S. N., re-* tired. To well informed students of Con federate history there is nothing surpris- ' ing in this story. It has been known to hundreds since 1873 that the great seal i was preserved. In that year facsimiles of it in gold, silver and bronze were issued by Uol. Jonn x. ncKeti, one mat wuicu erate commissioner to Mexico, who was then practicing law and selling Confeder ate curios and relics in the city of Wash ington. Records in the library of congress show how Col. Pickett came by this seal. 6ENT TO CHARLOTTE. 'On March 28,1865, five days before the evacuation of Richmond, the Confederate secretary of state, Judah P. Benjamin,, | sent William J. Bromwell, disbursing clerk of the department, to Charlotte, N.C., with three boxes of the belongings of that department, to bo putlin a place of safety, j Bromwell was ordered to stop in Danville and get three trunks and four boxes of records and property of the state depart- j ment which he had stored some weeks,' previously at the Danville Female college,1 and take these along also. He took the ten packages of records to Charlotte, ar riving there on April 1, and stored them in a room in the court house. Five days la ter he wrote to Mr. Benjamin that he had placed all of the boxes in six large strong boxes without disturbing the contents and had marked these boxes with his own in itials instead of Confederate state depart ment, In order to attract as little atten tion as possible. "In September, 1866, Bromwell, who was then practicing law in ^Richmond, accept ed a position in Pickett's office in Wash ington.

SOUTHERN SOIL POSSIBILI TIES. On creek valley land and hillsides near ] Tuskegee, Ala., W. \V. Thompson is de-j( raonstrating what drainage and scientific* farming can do for !rundown soil, accord-] ?* J- >r?u:u I ing to Thomas w. mcoi m tun muuuu i Ala.) Register. These lands were farmed in a crude way by negro tenants for twenty years before Mr. Thompson took hold of them, and they showed the effect. . He cleared abandoned fields, overgrown creek bottoms, hillsides covered with sage brush and small pine, and now has, through drainage and proper cultivation, pained 3100 acre of cotton, corn, clover and oatsfields. Land which had a few years ago yielded but half a bale of cotton ( an acre is now yielding from 0110 bale to one bale and a half, and the yields p<;r acre of oats have increased from 15 to 100 bushels or more, and corn from 25 to 75 bushels or more. This year, according to Mr. Nicol, there are six experiment farms under National, State or private auspices, ind the property has become a model for .iiltiiriuf-s.

Not succeeding in loing so he offered to sell to Secretary of State Seward the large and valuable docu nents of the late Confederate States, em jracing all of the papers belonging to Mr. Benjamin's [office. The price asked was 5500.000. This offer was declined, but the jovernmenl eventually bought the papers it $75,000, and they are now in the library if congress. Admiral Selfridge, then a ieutenant in the navy, acted as the agent if the government, and to them the pa pers were delivered in Canada in July, 1872. In 1873 Col. Pickett gave the seal to .\dmiral Selfridge |in whose possession it has remained ever since. "At the time that Pickett issued his fac similes he published a letter from the firm that made the great seal, certifying that these electroplates could not have been ( made in any way but' from the geDuine ( seal. While these general facts have been easily ascertained from the Benjamin rec- ! ords in the library of congress, the fact 1 that Pickett gave the seal to Selfridge has only recently come to light by the un earthing of I i jkett's letter books. "I have know this myself since last Oc- ( tober, when Judge Walter A. Montgomery i of Kichmond made known the showing of Pickett's books. A friend of mine who , 6tands high in the historical world has been working on Admiral Selfridge for a year or two, trying to induce him to pre sent the great seal to the Confederate mu seum in Richmond with the understand ing that the ladies in charge would give the library of congress certain public rec ords. I suppose this is the" consummation of the proposed trade. "In 1888 William E. Earle, a South Caro linian, residing in Washington, was pre sented with three of the bronze copies by Col. Pickett. He sent one of these to the offlce.'of the secretary of the state of South iCarolina with his compliments. It was published in jthe newspapers that Col. Earle had been given the great seal of the Confederacy and had presented It to the State of South Carolina. In conse quence of that publication and its republi cation many times since# receive a great many letters asking questions about the great seal." COTTON CATERPILLAR . MAY INVADE FIELDS. I)r. Hunter Advises Planters to Prepare for Resistance in Case Pest Conies. < Washington, May 21.?An invasion of the cotton belt by the cotton worm or cat erpillar, incorrectly called the army worm, may be expected this season, in the opin- j ion of W. D. Hunter, in cnarge 01 the Southern field crop investigation of the department of agriculture at Dallas, expressing himself by way of warning rather than prediction. He advises plan- < ters to make th9 necessary preparations for lighting worm and begin operations at 1 the earliest possible moment. * Investigation had developed that all the the cotton moth in the United States were destroyed by the abnormal cold last j winter. Despite this fact, Dr. Hunter an- -i ticipates the possibility of another invasion 1 from South America. For the control of the cotton worm, Mr. 1 Hunter advises the use of powdered j arsenate of load, mixed with any otner. s material at the rate of two pounds per acre. Not Paint The worst mistake in painting is not putting-off. That costs about 10 percent you' keep your money a year and pay 10 percent for it. Paint would have to come down 25 per cent t<j make 10 percent on the job, for wages do not go-down. The worst mistake is "cheap" paint. It costs from 50 percent to 100, lirst cost and another in wear. What a liar "cheap" is! "Put-off" is bad enough: "cheap" is ten times worse. DEVOE P. B.
