. ' ? j TALKING ABOUT US. The Inland Printer, the leading trade journal of the world in the printing industry, published at Chicago, has been talking about The Press and Banner. In its Review newspapers and advertisements in the May number, it has the following to say: "Abbeville Press and Banner, Abbevile, South Carolina.? You publish an exceptionally good paper, especially from the editorial standpoint. Make-up of the inside pages is very good, and we note that you group the reading-matter in one large mass, as is most desirable.

Solemnly swear 1 Allegiance anew. c With Lincoln and with Washington J In Fame's great hall stands he, America's three great Presidents, For all the world to see. s Have ye not heard, have ye not read, The wondrous words he spake That stirred the nations all, and made The thrones of tyrants quake? Liberty's gospel he has sent On swifter wings than sound To all mankind; that free man's creed Is conned the world around Like as the bard of Scotland's song Went forth o'er all the earth Foretelling human brotherhood And world-wide freedom's birth. Did ever nobler music wake A peaceful folk to war? It thrilled our nation's mighty heart Like trumpet call from far, Upon the ears of the dppressed Sweet melody it falls; \ ' The war crazed Kaiser's ruthless heart It startles and appalls. Ho! despot of the Hapsburg house, Ho! tyrant of Potsdam, Your thrones are dust, jyour sceptres rust, Your right divine a sham! Now, God be praised! Our President Points out the way aright; 'Tis ours to quit ourselves like men And arm us for the fight. Oh, not for, glory, not for gain, With hearts devoid of ruth; But in humanity's holy cause, For justice, right and truth. xxuiciiua uvw uxawo uic iwuiu9 No longer does she doubt; I She joins the champions of the right; * Like them she'll fight it out, She'll fight till the mad autocrat No more the sabre rattles, / 1 She'll win a triumph that can be Blest by the God of Battles.
