Every person convicted of violating ? .. the law in this regard has received a sentence carrying a term of months < on the chain gang. To be true most , of-the sentence in so far as imprison ment is concerned has been suspended; the court has been merciful in ] fixing the imprisonment part of the sentences but enough is left to warn * violators of the law what awaits them' in the future. , ' ' In saying this we, of course, do not want to be unSerstood as taking y pleasure in the misfortunes of others. 'All of us would be glad personally , f to see people escape* the law's judg- . jf. * ments. But we cannot have a healthy respect for laws unless those who ( violate the la^ are suitably punished; punished/ we may. say, in a way g?c which is calculated to break up ille|; ' gal and harmful practices. It is hard. to catch the bootleggers. They _ply P t"6ir trade while other men sleep. 4 Those who patronize them are loath to testify against them, so that it is only when the officers of the law are able to lay their hands on them that they are brought to justice. A bootlegger in even a small way p has been heard to say that he was making three hundred dollars per | r month at his avocation. In five h months he made fifteen hundred dolf ': lars. It is evident that he can pay a fine of three hundred dollars every fo itvi -fVi ?? nnnrf nrnanur* I - wv wa v ail?4 j vw v^jktvl. r. Therefore, it takes the pick and rocks f' to make him good. We hope they will ||'i - keep him good.. m ' . We say this too without reference to the appeals which have been taken in the cases before the court. We do a not know what the grounds of ap- j peal may be in any case, and we ex- 1 press no opinion as to the merits of 1 1 ' any particular case, other than to ] say that we must make a beginning ] . if the community is to be saved from < the^ evil effects of the illicit traffic in < this kind of b^erages, and the time j t'o make the beginning is NOW. i I JUDGE FRANK B.

Gary, who dispatches business as well as any circuit judge in the state, and whose |. conduct of the court justly receives the commendation of citizens wherever he presides. Judge Gary, with the aslistance of the officers of the ; court, has almost completely cleared the docket of the criminal court in ; Jhis? county, The work which has be?n done justifies the position *of I the Press and Banner taken sometime ago that the June Term of the court should be held and that pending cases should be tried. * ' | ABBEVILLE HONORED^A<3 f . jthe jpeople in\4bbevflle who are interested in educational matters Will be 'greatly pleased to know that Major J. D. Ftilp, Superintendent of out city schools, has been selected to teach-English at the University Summer School the present .summer. Major Fulp leaves Tuesday and will be engaged in the work for six week*. He is well prepared for the work, having graduated at 'Clinton College, and having had a special course in English at Columbia University and later at the University of London. A man who could be selected from the state at large as instructor ;, in English at the summer school at the University of South Carolina is about the kind ~f a man we need to lead By i* the educa tonal acmpaign in Abbeville "We liave him. Let ub keep him. ij il-v y ? 1 - A FINE OPPORTUNITY FOR A YOUNG MAN The University of South Carolina offers a scholarship in the School of Education to one young nan from each county. Each scholarship is worth $100 in money besides remission, of term fee, being thas in the aggregate worth 118. The $100 is paid at the rate of $12.50 a month for eight months. The scholarship for this county is vacant, and will be filled by competitive exxamination. The date for this examination is Friday, July 8th. This is a fine opportunity for a young man desirous of preparing to teach. Some of the best teachers now fn the State were enabled to got their preparation by means of these scholarships. FORCEFUL CHARGES The Abbeville Press and Banner has a very ? sensible editorial on "Forceful Charges" to grand juries. What is needed more than such charges is a law with teeth and it strictly and impartially applieik? Newberry Observer. DR. J. S. MOFFATT DECLINES POSITION In Wednesday's issue of this paper it was stated that Dr. J. S. Moffatt, President of Erskine College, had been elected President Emeritus by the Board of Trustees of the college and had accepted the position. Such was the announcement by the members of th& board. It seems from a communication received by the editqr of the Press and Banner that this news w&s either incorrect, or that Dr. Moffatt has reconsidered the matter. The communication referred to is from Dr. Moffatt himself and is as folkows: 7 . . "You may announce in Press and Banner that J. S. Moffatt has declined the 'President Emeritus' in Erskine Cailege." ' The Press and# Banner regerts that an error was made in the matr ter/but the news item of Wednesday was made upon information given the Board of Trustees of the college and was believed to be dependable. Evidently there was some iaisunderstanding of Dr. Moffatt's attitude in the matter. GOOD GARDENERS \ ~ * There are a good many gardeners about Abbeville. We said sometime ago that Col. Pat Roche, of Cambridge Street, is one of the finest we know. We must add that Col. W. L. Peebles, of Chestnut Street, or rather Mrs. Peebles (because >she ioes the head work while the Colonel joes the work) is jugf as good at gardening as Colonel Roche. We say 30 tor reason coat we are m posjeesion of a basket of as fine white potatoes as can be produced anywhere. One of them weighed one and i quarter pounds. They are of the North Carolina variety, and most ;hings from North Carolina are all ;hat could be desired. % * ?Of course Colonel Roche may jome again as may Colonel Peebles >r any other good gardener who feels so disposed and we will give ihe matter of who is the best gariener further consideration. We wquld like to consider the matter further and still further. We will lot be hasty about reaching a conllusion. i* -.
