WHY NOT ELECT WOODRQW WILSON I Chicago Post, Influential Repub lican Paper, Asks Its Read ers a Leading Question. FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME Says the Tariff Has been roo niyn for a Generation, and Must Be Low ered. The Chicago Post, an influential In dependent Rapublloan newspaper, pro pounds this question to Republican*: "Why not Wilson? "This question is addreeeed particu larly to Republicans. "Governor Wilson suits the Demo crats down to the ground, suits aJl Democrats who are worthy to be call ed Democrats. But in an emergeucy like this, why should not Wilson suit a large pan of the Republicans ax well? "Why not Wilson? "Governor Wilson is & thorougbred American gentloman, not only in the accident of birth, but In bis every ideal, impulse and principle. That should be the first requirement of er erv presidential candidate. "Governor Wilson is a tried and trustworthy executive. His brilliant record as governor of New Jersey proves that. "Governor Wilson Is an eminently 6ane and sensible man. He is an emi nently honorable man. He has digni fied every place which he has held He has performed a splendid public service by lifting the present cam paign oat of the riot of mudsHnglng with which Roosevelt began it. "In every personal characteristic. Governor Wilson is equipped to be any man's preeident, without regard 10 wnemer ui?i m?u ia * uvuiguai i>i a Republican. Wha-t, thea, of hts po litical qualifications? "Governor Wilson te. and always has been, a sensible Democrat, but be Is not and never has been a silly, violent partisan. "Governor Wilson stands for hooesty and efficiency in federal administra tion. So do all save those who profit by graft and inefficiency. "Governor Wilson stands for the curbing of trusts and monopolies. So do all, except monopolists and their de fender, Theodore Roosevelt. "Governor Wilson stands for prompt and steady downward revision of the tariff. So do nine-tenths of the people of the United States. "Governor Wilson believes lr. a mere radical tariff revision than do a large number of the rank and file of Re publicans. But Governor Wilson 1* the only candidate who if elected will permit the revision of the tariff at all. "The tariff has been to high for a generation. Is it not better to take a chance at getting It too low?according to Republican standards?than to let the known frauds of the present re gime continue for another four year* to rob the public? "vvny noi wiisoni ne win give an honest, a dignified, a capable adminis tration. He will respect the constitu tion. He will see that the tariff is re vised downward. He will curb trust*. He will serve the people. "Why not Wilson?" FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING John D. Archbold, for the Standard Oil company, gave $100,000 to flooee velt's campaign fund 1b 1904 but re fused to prosecate the harvester trust more, which was demanded. J. P. Morgan of the steed trust ani other interests gave the Roosevelt fund in the same year 1100,000, and did give up $50,000 more. This tribute to an advertisement in this paper comes to us from Spar tanburg, S. C. Mr. T. G. Reily of that town writes: "A few days ago I step ped off the train down at Union and another tra\elling man whom I had never seen before walked along with me to the hotel. He asked me what I was selling and as usual, I said LUZIANNE COFFEE. He says: "Well, well. I am glad to know you. I have been using Luzianne for nine years. I live in Atlanta, and a few months ago moved to another part of the city. The Grocer I began trading with in this new part of town did not s*- i ^uxianne. He sent us a high I>: Ic crl bulk roasted coffee that he ground in his store. My wife called my attention to the fact that our cof fee bill had run up three times as heavy as when we used Luzianne. 1 told him to buy Luzianne, or lose a coffee customer. He bought it on my warning and to-day is selling Luzi anne regularly." (Adv.) The peculiar excellence of the cof fee served in New Orleans homes and restaurants is commented upon by every visitor to that city. The brand of New Orleans coffee known as "Luzianne" has come to be a uni versal favorite in South Carolina. "Over at Chester," writes Mr. T. G. Reily, the well known and genial travelling representative of the Reily Taylor Co., of New Orleans, "I was standing in the store of Mr. Richard son. lie introduced me to one of his customers, to whom he referred aa another 'Luzianne crank.' I asked this man to tell me why he preferrtd Luzianne to all other coffees. His re ply was a splendid tribute to the goods. He stated that he could illus trate it easier by a very recent experi ence. 'A few days ago when we went to take coffee for breakfast, found that we voi huv" a bit r.f Luziamu in the i-ouse. My wife -want tj a neigh -.ho o.iV 'isd the i 'a i:\ store ground coffee. We put in the same amount as we had been using of Luzi on lie, in 1 ' f'- clare to you that the hot water was hardly colored. I had to take three times as much, and thee did not get as good coffee as Luzi anne makes. Now when we returned the neighbor's coffee we sent her Luzianne. She in turn used as much as was customary with the bulk roast ed and ground, and her coffee was en tirely too strong. She came to us about it, and we explained it to her. EAST END What UM" Son and Hears on His founds About the City and Along Route No. 3. Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 21,1912. The event of interest on route three the past week was the marriage of Miss Lizzie liibert and Mr. Walter B. Wilson, which was solemnized Oct. 16,1912, at two and a ( half o'clock at Lebanon church, Rev. J. B. j Hillhouse, pastor, officiating. The church was beautifully decorated by | friends of the contracting parties. Ferns j were effectively arranged against a white j ground about the pulpit and made quite a pretty display. A large number of invited guests were present to witness the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Hon. Jumee S. Gibert, and is a lady of culture and re lineinent, possessing many beautiful traits of character, both of head and heart, all of J which brings about her hosts of friends, so | that to know her, is to love her; she isj gentle and unassuming in manner, and al together she is a most lovable lady, having a large connection, w ith all of whom she is quite a favorite. The happy groom is a man largely and well connected, and is one of the best far mers in the county, and is justly worthy >f the good companion he has wisely chosen to make his life one of sunshine and happiness. Hosts of friends wish for this happy couple long life and great happiness. Mr. and Mis. Wilson came to the city immediateb' after the ceremony and left over the Southern for Staunton, Va., where they go, accompanied by Prof, and Mrs. John B. Gibort, to visit relatives of the bride. On their return they will be at home to their friends in their homo at Lebanon. The schools on route throe are all open and presided over by the following teach ers, viz: Sharon High 6chool?Mr. J. C. Aguew, principal; Mrs. J. B. Harkness, assistant. Lebanon school?Miss Ora El lis. Flatwoods school?Miss Agnes Gra iiam, who is a stranger to our people, but we are sure from her gentle manner and splendid recommendations she will not only endear herself to the scholars, but to her patrons as well. MisS Graham is from Alabama, and we extend to her a hearty welcome to the old Palmetto State, and hope her coming here frill be to her interest and pleasure.

MR. DAVIS' CABINET Anderson Mail. Unwittingly we have invoked th< displeasure of The Abbeville Prest and Banner. This contemporary ii a recent issue says: "An article published in The Dail> Mail of October 7th, written frorr Washington, Ga., makes many claim; for that city as to the part its public m?*n played in the Confederacy Among other things it claims thai 'the last Confederate Cabinet meet ine was held in the Gen. Hcan house, which was torn down and re placed by the elegant new Wilke; county court house.' It is an undis puted fact that has gone down ii history that the last Confederat' cabinet meeting was nem in me our Hou3e in this city, which is now oc . cunied hy Mr. J. S. Stark. The cabi not, fully represented, met here fo the lost time and disbanded. The ar t'cle likewise claims that Jeffersoi Davis was born in Georgia. The far is. lie was born in Kentucky, in an ad joining county to that in which Lin coin was born. If the accuracy of th article is to be judged by these twi references, it will be of little value t> history." As a matter of fact thi3 article re ferred to was not prepared origin ally for The Daily Mail. It was firs published in a Georgia contemporar; ?the I.;:voiiin Times, we believe.

However, we wish to advise oui Abbeville friend not to vaunt itsel too much. Did the cabinet of JefTer Ron Davis, "fully represented," mee for the last time in Abbeville? If s( the claims of another city are alto gether wrong. The once beautifu village and now thriving little citj of Fort Mill, has always claimed thai distinction. It is not for us to decid< hetween them. No one has success fully disputed that the last cabino meeting was held in the home o Armistead Burt at Abbeville, but Fori Mill's claim is that the entire cabine was not present, as some memben thereof left the president's party ai Fort Mill.
