The Press and Banner. Published Every Wednesday. -Abbeville, S. C. Wednesday, May 29,1907. Citnse of Hearniog, If It has been noted that of late, the s*iad and tbe cats of the Hevannah bave been an usually gad and downcast, we venture to suggest that the observers did not even dream of the cause. But yesterday the reason for tbelr lamentation was made clear. We notloedl that some excellent gentlemen from Hone* Path alighted from the cars at AbbevlDc-. After one of the party had spoken to us, asd: calling us by name, we felt badly that we <14 not recall his name. StandlDg near by wttb one of our own cttlzens, when we saw Hfeso looking the other way, we RBked hla amme. He didn't know, but he said that tb? man about whom we enquleed was of a party of gentlemen from Anderson, who went flshlwg on the Savannah once every year. "We afterward asked our acquaintance to give a list of the names, but be said nothing vrbleb positively Identified himself, bat upon reflection, we have set him down as Mr. M. I. Brock of Honea Patb. He put down blB companions as Ed. Knight, Neal Knight, B. F. Arnold, M. I. Brock, Marlln Arnold. They all made lor the 12.80 Seaboard train, and last night they slept on the ground near the mighty river In which flourish the nicest had and the biggest mouthed catfish. We didn't see evidence that these gentlemen were carrying lunoh, and we Inferred mat mey expeoieu 10 uine wild or ua usa uw sportive Inhabitants of the water. As soon as we can prevail on Congress to open np the river to navigation of larger crafts, wo shall expect interested travelers, to dine on flrft class whales. At present, owing to the boulders that fill the bottom of the | river In shallow places, the stream Is utterly onnavlgable for whales and floating crafts of larger dimensions than batteans or pole boats. Until Oongreu shall see proper to p*?e the river navigable the waters of tbeSavannah mast be satisfied with the plain prectloal work ol generating electricity by which oar streets are lighted; and by which we now iron oar clothes, and by which we expeet at an early day to boll our coffee water and ?oofc oar steaks. The prosy work of running machinery by electric power will no doubt continue and extend to other and newer Industries. Unless Congress can And it advisable to open the river to navigation, the proud waters of tbe Savannah mast content Itself to ob a oummuu isuurer ior me mgaeai or me lowest aaoccasion may require. Imagine, If yon can, tbe humiliation which tbe proad and mighty waters of tbe Savannah most feel In taking the place of oooks, oil lamps, steam engines, dray horses, and other bard workers. Let Congress enquire If this humiliation Is not unconstitutional. BIG HAULS. Large Schools of Gamblers Caacbt, About Jbree weeks ago policemen Scbroeder and Johnson caught nine gamblers, who were brought before tbe council, when tbey were fined V> each, which was paid. Last Sunday the same policemen caught thirteen gamblers, who were brought before tbe olty council, eaoh of whom were fined S5. s iu?uueaw?r? pa|Q. In tbe two arrests the olty council realized $110. through the watchfulness ol active and wide-awake policemen. About ?25 was taken In last Monday by tbe counoll In fines for drunkenness.

Some people are continually putting , off until to-morrow what should be done to-day. Is it so much of a habit, or downright laziness? One of the most general examples of such negligence may be noted in tbe case ol "sick" folk. Many a man is a fit subject for the hospital, but puts off seek )( ing relief until "to-morrow." Many people are really sick and don't know it. Take the man who gets up as tired JJ in the morning as when he went tc bed, who is all the time hungry but can't eat. who is racked with aches and pains,.but thinks it will pass off, whose stomach, kidneys and liver art constantly crying out a warning be never herds?until loo late. As long as be can keep up he Roee on without realizing the risk he takes.
