Owing to (ailure to get the copy the Press and Banner did not pub lish Congressman Aiken's Land Loan Bill some weeks ago when it was announced that it would. It is printed in this issue of the paper. Every farmer and every business man in Abbeville county should read this bill and Mr. Aiken's speech in support of it carefully. It means more to the forming interests of Abbeville county than any bill that . was ever introduced in Congress. ijf* ????????????? MEETING OF PRESS ASSO CIATION. * Xi- V4J1 4 ' 11 V V Thfe iiieeting of the Press Associa ?*AAlr nf Qnrinnro wqq uuu loot ?v vuivi generally pronounced to be one of tlie most pleasant as well as one of the most profitable ever hehf. The brethren of the press were 60 well re ceived there and more especially by the cities of Anderson and Green ville that they have decided to go back next year. Greenville threw open hef doors to the newspaper mten* during the entire meeting, for she is the nearest large city. Then Anderson with her big heart dined the entire association abd carried memBers over the entire city iti automobiles. There are not two more thriving cities in the State than Greenville and Ailderson. There Is building going on on every street in Green villfe, and in Anderson twenty-six store rooms are now being built. Long live Anderson and Green ville ! U I ' I ' Ml. HUERTA RESIGNS. At last Huerta, Mexico's dictator, realizes that his fight is finished, and he is ready to lay down his assumed nrt/i on/.lr *r in 44 1 f autiiuii^ auu owa oaicij iu xiiguv* Huertft repitesents the landed oli garchy in Mexico as did Diaz, and h}s overthrow means the beginning of a new era in Mexican civil life. Cttfranza ?nd Villa are pledged to a" land distribution policy, and the United States is in full sympathy with them. It might be said that no modern civilized government could sahetaon such socialistic measures, but | can be moat truthfully an swered that no civiiized government woilld have countenanced the meth ods by which a few men seized all the valuable lands of Mexico and then made virtual slaves of the masses. Tfce United States is right in rec ognizing the Constitutionalists and indorsing their policy. If now as suggested ib this paper many months ago, tfewaiuza is made permanent president of Mexico, bacbfed by the strong arm o< Villa, permanent peace will bfc brought to that blood drenched country. Villa had as wel realize that his past record precludes him offering for the presidency, for whatever his merits, his faults out weigh them, and his past record is sufch thai; the pcfwers frotild be loath to treat with him* He should hold to the substance and give the shadow toC&rranza, a man wh6se record fe clean in the eyes of the world. Now that it has all about blown over, real friends of peace can see the wisdom of President Wilson's policy of watchful waiting and forbearance. Mr. Wilson is one of greatest presidents, and in nothing has he demonstrated this fact more clearly than in hisT Mexican policy, Mr. Roosevelt to the contrary not withstanding. EDITOR AULL'S swan song. Good news comes from all over the Third Congressional District as to the Hon. Fred. H. Dominick. Informa tion now is that he will have a safe majority in every county except pos sibly Abbeville and in that county the race will be close. The voters of the district could scarcely do better than send him to Congress. We were in Greenwood the other day and ev erything looks mighty fine up there. The same news comes from Ander son, Pickens, and Oconee. Of course, he would not think of carrying the home county of Mr. Aiken, but he is going to make it mighty interesting up there for the gentleman.?New V tTn_U an A XTamo unijf xinam auu There is an old legend that the swan, ordinarily a mere gabbler, like other water fowl, in the throes of death, sings his own ftmeral hymn. How swan-like, and how hymn-like the quoted lines from the Herald and News, frhose editor ever has been, and even now is in the same boat with Mr. Dominick, while the said boat is drawing nearer and nearer the rapids. This said boat has had pretty heavy jolts before, for instance whert the Hon. Frederick Dominfck was overwhelmingly defeated lor the Legislature the last time he offered; when this same Editor Aull last elec tion was defeated for School Commis sioner by a vote of something like two to one, and when the Hon. Fred WICK a JtJW uiuiuus ago itxnveu sev enteen votes in his home club out of the hundred or fnore voting for dele gates to the State Convention. Coming down to the facts, is Editor Anil singing or whistling? Whig l ' I ' \ tllng, 1 ffow. The little t>oRt s^i*ely must be approaching a graveyard. And Editor Aull really does think Wyatt Aiken may carry Abbeville, or perhaps this was just thrown in to keep from breaking the Congress man's heart all in one smash. Col. Aull has always been thoughtful of other people's feelings, and mindful of their kindnesses, and doubtless this little outburst of generosity sprung from these known character istics. Of course Colonel Aull believes that Hon. Fred. Dominick will carry every county in the district. Did I - - ? ? i f i LI ;11 say ail"' wen,an save Aoueviiw, graciously excepted by the Colonel. And why is it so certain that he be lieves it? Why, because the Colonel solemnly says so in the columns of hfe paper, and the Colonel would not solemnly say anything favorable to himself of his political friends in the cokimns of his paper that he did not believe to be true. It is even noised about that Col. Aull is to take a little trip through the district in behalf of Mr. Dominick, but let no man infer from this that Coi. Aull would be partial to Mr. Dominick in the col umns of his paper! Perish the thought! Now coming back to Col. AuJl's and Hon. Fred. Domihick's homp county. Of course the Colonel is a good church member as is this editor, and good church members can't bet, but this editor has a friend who will even brave the vengeance of the State constables of whom the Charles ton race track gamblers seem to stand in such dread, to bet a good round sum that Mr. Aiken will get mure votes in Newberry county than will Mr. >Pominick. The Colonel's claim that Mr. Dominick will carry oirnrir nnflntu in thn ThirH flisf.rint. 7 vv/M" V "" *"'w ------ ^ always saving Abbeville, is like the claim of the little fisherman, who said when he got the fish he was then trying to catch and five more he would have six. The people know that Mr. Aiken has been cohstantly at his post in Washington attending to their busi ness, taking the high ground that the than in National politics should not interfere fri factional fights in the State. They kno# that no man in Congress ever rendered more honest or more faithful service to his party and t? the people of his Stat'e* and the people are Just, Whatever may be said of the politicians who would warp their judgment. ? Much as Mr. Doihinlck would likfe to do it, he is witHoiit excuse to cry even as aid .tsruius: -neip me uis sius or 1 sink." F. E. HABRISOR APPOINTED RECEIVER Questions of Fact and Law Re ' J ferred to tbe Master, R. E. Hill?F. B. Gary's Wisdom as a Lawyer and his Sagacity as a Judge ? E. B. Calhoun, Granville Beal, and a Host of J Lawyers in Good Luck. An Interesting: law case was beard last Saturday at chambers by Circuit Judge F. B. Gary, in which a number of distin guished lawyers were heard. Augustine T. Smythe, senior, was exec utor of the estate of James Edward Cal noun, including iv.ouu acres 01 iana ona the valuable Calhoun Falls on'Savannah river. It seems that the property had been sold to an organized company, In cluding all the legatees, except E. B. Cal houn and Mrs. Granville Beal. Years ago, on the advice of their attorney, F. B. <^ary. of Abbeville, they declined to enter into the oagjiHteB5itm,?nd feftis&ti totafeefetetfk is tfie company, wfckfc w&s ctfpJtelteed (at something like $275,000, but in Order to be accommodating they consented to take a mortgage for their part of the' sum ireal ieed from the sale, namely: E. B. Calhoun, for $35,000; Mrs. Granville Beal, for $15, 000. The company was organized several years ago, when the sale was made. The rents of the farm have been paid on the interest account, which was at eight per cent. Augustine T. Smythe died in Charleston a few weeks ago. Bis death occasioned the application for the appointment of another receiver for the property. The Importance of the Issue was such that it was no trouble to find some one who was frilling, to accept the responsibility. c Andrew P. Calhoun, of New York, gave notice of his -willingness to take charge of the property, and employed the law firm of Cothran, Dean <fc Cothran of Greenville to present his claim for the appointment. Thos. P. Cothran appeared befote the u uu^u. B. L. AbDey and J. Fraser Lyon -of Co lumbia represented E. B. Calhoun's Inter est. D. H. Hill, of Abbeville, represented Mrs. Granville Beal. Ernest Visanska, of Charleston, repro septed the Calhoun Falls Company. And all the lawyers In the case exercised their greatest power with Judge Gary. Augustine T. Smythe, junior, was urged for the appointment. Dr. F. E. Harrison, of Abbeville, had no attorney in his behalf, but Judge F. B. Gary, on his own motion, divided the hon or and the profit with his fellow-townsman. The Court, upon hearing the attorneys, appointed F. E. Harrison, of Abbeville, and Augustine X. Smythe, Jr., of Charles ton, receivers of the Calhoun Falls Com pany, and they will take care of the best interests of all until the Court shall order the property sold. The case was referred to Master R. E* Hill to examine and make report to the Court as to the law and the facts. The receivership of this large estate Is quite a good job, the profits pr commis sions of which will amount w something like $10,000 or $15,000 ot two-and-a-half per cant, for receiving, and aa additional r.' " . : ttfo-arld^halt per Cetit. fat fcayiatf Ollt the money. No more wise or courageous receivers could have been found than Dr. Harrison and Augustine T. Smyth?. And we think Judge Gary deserves the thanks [of our people for not sending to foreign j>arts to secure trusted agents for the valuable lands in Abbeville County. As a lawyer. F. B. Gary was a wise counsellor for his clients, and as a judge Mr. Gary acted with the same wisdom and discretion that he exercised as a lawyer yoars ago. As it is, his clients will get the full amount of their money, some $50,000, not counting interest, while the members of the organized company, after the lawyers gqt their money, will be loss fortunate. But the great public is not particularly interosted in either the company or the in dividual creditors. Public interest is to be conserved by the improvement or de velopment of the unsurpassed water pow which is going to waste. It ie to be hoped that Master R. E. Hill may be authorized by the Court to make the sale when It takes place. If so, he, like Dr. Harrison, will get a nice fee, which rightly shQuld come to him. Such good fortune coiitd come to receiver and sales man but once In a lifetime, and the Court and our lucky neighbors are to be congrat ulated. Hugh Wilson.
