Terns of Subscription: One year $2.01' Six months l.Oi1' Three months .ftO WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1920 I THE EXPLOSIVE MR. SCAIFE. Mr. H. L. Scaife has sent us another expensively gotten up circular j telling us why Senator Smith should not be re-elected. Mr. Scaife was' asked by someone to act as Commissioner of Explosives is South Carolina in and during of the war. He' # I didn't want the job, no siree,.- he didn't, but he was willing to do the exploding if his country called him (Hurrah for Scaife.) What Mr.' Scaife really wanted to do was to get ; ?V 4-V.o firrhHncr was tTie hottest ' WUCAC tut * ? and the. bullets the thickest. He ad- 1 mits that himself. But being a solV | dier, nevertheless, he was out to serve the country wherever ca;!eu. Knowing of Mr. Scaife's burning I desire to face the bullets rather than I fill an office back at home, Senator Smith it seems selected for the Ex- ' 1 plosive Commissioner Col. Wm. > Banks, of Columbia, a man who < j/ ? looks like he might explode a great 1 deal more easily than Mr. Scaife ' thus gratifying the desire of Mr. J Scaife to take a shot "at mem Ger- , mans." ] Now every reasonable person would have thought that Doth Mr. 1 Scaife and Col. Banks would have 1 been satisfied with the onrcome of the explosive matter and that every- , thing would have been loveiy and i TK>n/>?fn1 and so it was or anneared > ?? ? ? -- -** to be, until Senator Smith came up for re-election, and then it was that Mr. Scaife, although he naa not been* appointed Commissioner of Explosives, imagined himself in that office and began to explode, and he just keeps on exploding, though, as stated last Monday, he doesn't ma^e much more noise than a large paper bag f when it is filied with air "bus:- < ed" or "exploded," we should say by I Con Bill. as \vc nave said the peopre are not new concerned abcut who was ap-' pointed Commissioner or trie Explosives, but they have a vital interest in the matter of selecting a suitable r..c..? to represent us in tne United , States Senate. And they would like to know just why Mr. Scaife is doing so much exploding, iiiid who is iurniiliing the explosives? If he got what ne wanted i'.^d WuO Uv^L ivikliu *0 bo bile L.IacIwiiC. du:i.:g the war when he v -- o-*'? ' 1*^ ? -?* now s*? jif| t~ against Senator Smith? Of course Mr. S.caif" if he thinks the counti'v is about to be given the -pip'" by Senator Smith has a right, and it is his duty, to come to the front and offpr n r^rr.pHv Rnt. is that, wnat hp is doing? Is Mr. Scaife as anxious to serve the state just now as he is to serve somebody else, or to punish Senator Smith for letting him right." ?\nd what oi' his remedy? It. is Mr. George Warren, we believe. Mr. Warren is busy defending Mr. John C.. Calhoun, who died^a great many yeai'o ago without asking Mr. Warren to defend him and his po'::Cles. In J f^r-t it is nut hclicvpd hv who know something cf Mr. Calhoun that, were he living, he would select Mr. Warren to defend his cause. Mr. Warren tells us that away back in 1914 he introduced into the General Assembly the prohibition law now on the statute, books. But "what the people of this state want to know is whether Mr. Warren is NOW for national prohibition, ?r against it? They would like to know whether he would favor an amendment to or the repeal of the Volstead Act? We want Mr. Warren's position in 1920, not in 1914. Is Mr. Warren for liquor NOW' that is the question. ^ TIGS WHICH Col. James E. Taggart, who lh in McCormick, but who is a good A beville man nevertheless, and is gl of it, was here Monday. He was fe ;ng fit, though the price of cotton a the way it is going did not suit h very well. He was an interested li ener at the speaking and enjoyed t jokes told by the candidates. He ss some of the candidates are ""sha fellows." He asked particularly about "Uncle Pat,'" who is in the moi tains just now enjoying the fi mountain climate. He says that .mows none of the old maids will able to take Uncle Pat in, but if young widow, who is good iookii and knows the ropes, gets after hi he is not so sure what might happ< As he left us he called back l;ncw how long Uncle Pat was to main in the mountains, and when told him until -September first, dismissed us with this question: "Ain't hej-ag^pt?" _ Sol H. Rosenberg was busy Tui day morning getting ready to take trip to New York. Mrs. Rosenbe came dtown to help the head of "'Fo Stores?Many Departments" get ] wardrobe trunk filled with all the 1; est styles in men's apparel. When arrives in New York the people there will know that Abbeville is near Paris as the big city. Mr. Rosenberg believes !n advi tising. He lays in a proper stock arcods and then tells the people abo it tnrougn the columns or tne rrj and Banner, and they believe wh tie says. He convinces them. ' On account of the high cost everything the present season found that it took more money handle his many lines than he h jounted on, ant! he thought of "e :ending his lien"' for that purpos jut remembering that the Press a; Banner will carry a man across, 'ecided to put on a big July sa properly advertise it, and see wh ne could do in the way of getting orr.e cash. Result: He toox in mo i'rom cash sales in the month of Ji tiian he did in the month of' Novel ijer last year.

That was Wednesday morning, as we said, and before the mar! ket advanced a cent a half. After the 08i advance, Col.
