The Press and Burner A HBEVLL1.E, 8.C. Published Every Wednesday by The Press and Banner Company W. W. Bradley, W. S. Bradley, President. Vice-President W. T. Walker. Secretary ud Manager Wednesday, Sept 18, 1912 Again the eternal schoolbook que? tion. Cotton-picking time. Next thing 'siin 111ons will he getting ripe. Whatever the executive committee does we hope they won't force Cans ler to run again. Many schools in South Carolina opened their doors last Monday. But yet others are needed. The suicide of Counti, thp hero of Port Arthur, seems to have awak ened universal sorrow. 1 . Kindly remember that while'Sep tember lias an "r" in it, the alleged "r" is at the tail end of the month. A submarine of the Ignited States navy has broken all records by de scending to a depth of 288 feet ill the Pacific ocean. Charles W. Morse, the banker re cently pardoned from the Federal prison in Atlanta, will soon engage in the steamship business. The last member of thg Allen gang ha9 been arrested, "Gyp, tbe Blood" and "Lefty Louie" are in the toils, . but Tom Felder is still at large. - And now when we have almost coiupieivu uie -ruutuiia mr French try to tell us that it won't amount to a great deal after all. Allen and Edwardti, the Virginia outlaws, were captured by following the sweetheart of one of them. We always did believe there was danger in sweethearts. Several towns in South Carolina are fairer today by reason of the fact , ? that they are adorned by the pres ence of young women college stu dents from Abbeville. There will be som?- high flyiuj* in Abbeville at the county fair?the di rectors have engaged an aeroplane to demonstrate to the populace just what high-flyiug really is. ; The sub-committee of the State ex ecutive committee haviug in hand the probe of the recent primary meets in Spartanburg, Sept. 24. It is re ported that dictagraph testimony will be barred. .>>< - . 4 Now that politics are absorbing less of the people's time, there are many subjects of discussion fruitful for good to the community. Among these the building or a hospital in Abbeville stands close to the head of the list. ; While prospects are bright for Democratic success this year over confidence is dangerous. Money will be needed from this time on to push the campaign to a successful conclu sion. See that your name is on the list of contributors. " PUBLISHING THE BOLLS. / _ . So far as we have seen,.not a single newspaper has complied with the re quest of Hon. W. F. Stevenson to publish the poll lists in their respec tive counties. Mr. Stevenson's idea was good, especially when applied to counties in which charges of fraud had been made, but he was hardly aware, at the time the request was made, of the great amount Gf labor involved in reproducing these lists. Very few weekly newspapers are equipped for doing this work. In addition to thi?, it seems that in some counties tjie task, of securing these rolls involves as much labor as their printing. < So far as The Press and Banner of fice is concerned, it could, by incurr ing considerable expense, reproduce the rolls, but inasmuch as there have been no charges of fraud in this county, and as there is apparent no great demand from our readers for this information we hardly feel jus tified in incurring the necessary ex pense. CONGRATULATIONS. The Press and Banner wishes to extend to the successful candidates for connty offices its best wishes and to hope their administrations may be as successful as they could wish. In the words, but without the irony, of the distinguished Roman, "they are all honorable gentlemen." Our sin cere wish and our candid belief is that they will be actuated only by a desire to serve the best interests of Abbeville county. Success attend? their efforts. ^ I fi -V - , THEN AND NOW. All over the county the schools are beginning to open their doors to the boys and girls who are soon to he the men and women of another genera tion. One does not have to he a very old man to be able to remark great strides in South Carolina in matters educa tional. at least in hti far as the num her of schools and the length of terms are c-oncerned. Whether the system of teaching has advanced in proportion is a mat ter over which there may l>e room for legitimate discussion by those qualified to speak. That there is a wide difference in methods of teach ing is, however, too well settled to admit of doubt. It does not require a great stretch of the imagination to recall the old fashioned school teacher who com pelled the singing of the multiplica tion table and some, doubtless of de cided musical talent, carried the practice so far as to have lessons in geography recited to the tune of mu sic. There is at least one citizen of Abbeville?and the frosts of winter have not yet turned his locks to gray ?who can recite to you the bound aries and the products of nearly ev ery country on the globe to the ac companiment of an air doleful enough to bring tears to the eyes of a horse apple. The private academy, a relic of the aute-bellum days, which lingered far into our later times, has been entirely eliminated from our educational sys tem?and, according to the belief of some, not without a loss to the cause of education. t As these academses were prepara tory .schools and were a relic of an age in which industrialism played scarcely no part, great attention was paid to classical side of education with a view to preparing men for the learned professions. To the youth ol 15 or ltf who developed a spark of talent the campaigns of Caesar, the story of Aeneas, the wanderings ol Ulysses, and the doings of all the ancients handed down to us in classic lore, were as laminar as the exploits of Nick Cirter are to many of our boys of today. That this system of education, in which all the finer traits of human character were stressed, should have left an impress upon the South is lit tle wonder. Idealism rather than utilitarianism was the natural result of such a system, and its necessary abandonment lor the adoption of u system tendimr more towards the practical, while it may gam for ut> commercially, will and must lose to us much of the tine spirit of the old South that will, in time to coijie, if it would not now, stand us in good stead. A reversion to the old academy is of course impossible. Multiplicity ol pupils prevents the careful attention to the needs of the individual pupil which the teachers of these old-time schools bestowed, while the interests which engage the attention of the South at this time are so different in their nature from those oj^former time* that other systems must be de vised to meet the changed oKler. But many who attended t^iese old fashioned school# have a feeling at each recurring opening of the school year that something of the better thing* of the old times is Iqet in the hurly-burly of present-day schooling. To be sure there is, or should be, an all-pervading spirit of democracy in the public school of today which was lacking, to some extent, in the old-time academy, and it may be that since we must grow and develop that the children can better be taught self-reliance by commingling with hundreds of their fellowi where in olden times they mixed'with tens, and that, too, with little time for pfcy- .j To the teachers of the1 county we wish the most successful year in their experience, while for the pupils we wish that the troubles which beset them in after life may pot seem half so hard to bear as those which will confrout them during this session, and that the knowledge which they erain this vear will aid them mate rially in meeting all these problems; which, after all, is the true aim of all education. May this year be the best. AN INVITATION. ^ ? The good people of Greenwood have been forced to abandon their county fair this year for lack of ad equate grounds. In view of this fact we extend to them, on bqhalf of the citizen* of Abbeville, an invitation to come to Abbeville Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, October 23, 24 and 25, when the Abbeville county fair will be held. We assure them a hearty welcome and will undertake to guarantee that they will be well repaid for the time and effort ex pended. Every preparation is being made to make a fair that will afford every opportunity for edification and enjoyment. * Come, neighbors, and enjoy your selves. See our Coat Suits before buying.

Chicago, Sept. 12.?Being shunned and 1 unhappy because she had married a negro, i the wife of Jack Johnson, the heavyweight i champion pugilist, shot herself last night < and died this morning She was SI years i of a^e and the daughter of Mr*. David i Terry of Bn^klyn. When she married i Johnson she was the divorced wife of i Clarence Duryea, well known New York i turfman. , > 1 < During the trip to Las Vegas, N. M., 1 where Johnson fought Jim Flynn, the i black's wife told friends 6he was very uu .happy as her former friends avoided her 1 because she wap wedded to a negro. Soon after Johnson left his home last night she called her two maids and placing an arm around each, asked that they kneel Ln prayei;. After she had prayed for some time she sent the maids into differ ent rooms. Hardly had they closed the doors behind them when they heard a shot and rushing in found the woman on the floor. The woman's'act was attributed by her huaVianri tn a narvmtQ mifc ftf ft H6 rieg from which she had suffered for two years. She Is also said to have shown symptoms of tuberculosis. She was to have left for Las Vegas last nlf ht but de cided to abandon the trip. LOWNDESVILLE. Happenings of a Week In and About the Seven-Milled City?Personals. Lowndesville, Sept. 14,1912. Mr. Jas. M. Baker, of Washington, D. C., came in last Saturday and has since been looking after his interests in this place | and section. 1 Miss Pola Zlegler, of Shreveport, La., < came here Monday and was the gue6t for J several days of her aunt, Mr6. J. C. Chan- -J dler. ? . Mrs. ?. F. Latimer and Marshall, the lit- J boy, went to the old home of the first, > at Honea Path, the first of this week to spend a short time. Mr. R. R. Jdnes, who Las for the past few years been connected with the busi ness of Messrs. Cooley & Speer, lias give : up his place, and will in a few days start upon a trip to the west, to be gone for some time. Miss Mary Calhoun, of Greenwood, came in Tuesday nn$ was for a dayor two at the home of her uncle, Rev. J. C. Chandler. Mr. T. L. Cozby, of Greenville, came 1 down Wednesday and was here at his old home among his relatives and friends for a few days There were several good ground-wetting rains in and around this place about the middle of the present week. They will help thin ?8 very much. While it is not ex 1 pected that they will be of much benefit to the corn and cotton, they will add much to the outcome of the potato crop, will give a *wr\i\A nmutrfiinifir f<vi? e/talmr fnrnln vj/p*! uimhw; iw? wv/nui^ vuiiu^ wv""j barley putohee, Ac.

M. Huckabee, Master J. M. Huck- J abee and Miss Mozelle Huckabee went to 1 Latimer Wednesday and spent the day at I the old homestead of the first, intending < to return home that night, but were pre- , vented by a heavy rain at that place. There were six bales of the 1912 and 1913 > crop sold here Thursday. Five of them j were sold by Mr. Irvin Cleckley. He was given for first bale, liytc for the oth ers. _ , . ? Mr. J. B. Blake, of Abbeville, came up Thursday to the home of his brother-in-1 law, Mr. H. A. Tennent, where he spent a ' day or two. Misses Cornelia Tennent and Mattie Lee Harper left Friday morning for Rock Hill and entered ttw renowned Institution of learning for the higher education of young ladies in that place. Mr. J. B. Kay left Friday morning for Oswego, Sumter county, where he went to begin, on Monday next, the fall exercises of the flourishing school In that place, of which he some time ago was elected prin cipal. frof. and Mrs. M.

For over a year the Presbyterians of the Synod of South Carolina have been en gaged in a campaign to raise a fund of $200,000 to better equip and more largely endow its three educational institutions. Some time was spent in necessary prelim inary work. The first canvass was conducted in Pee Dee Presbytery last October. Since then the campaign has continued, though it was retarded by the cold, rough winter, and canvasses have been conducted by Pied mont, Enoree, Bethel and South Carolina Presbyteries. The JointCommittee on Endowment has been anxious to complete tho campaign by the time of the meeting of Synod in Col umbia, October 22. Therefore it has been decided to have a joint canvass in the two remaining Presbyteries, -tiarmo*y aua Charleston. October 13th has been select ed as Field Sunday. The canvass will fol low Immediately 4nd there will be just time enoogh to complete it before the meeting of Synod. The week before Field Sunday it is proposed to have three ban quets. One in Sumter, for Harmony Pres bytery; one in Charleston and one in Col umbia, for Charleston Presbytery.?From the Bulletin of the Joint Committee on En dowment. Beacon Shoes at PoliakoffN.
