Bradley. 1 HUGH WILSON, Editor.^, ,.a.y?? v' 1 ville:, s. c. j JVruousnea every weaaeeaay ?i 9* ? year In advance, < Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1908. ! ??????? ?? i i Hnspendinjf College Exercises. We believe tbat some of our Colleges recent- i )y suspended exercises In order to give stu- I dents an opportunity to go home for the i Christmas holidays. i If the session of these Institutions were ex- i tended for two weeks at the close of the ( school term to make up for the lost time at I Christmas, and If It costs the parents nothing i for their children to ooaie home In the mid- i die or the term, there still seems objection to < / the holiday. After two weeks of play, t another week would be required for students I to get down to bard study again. c Another matter: A plain every day oltlzen I doesn't quite understand why the college reoltatlons should not be heard every day in c the week. Away back In the misty past, the ( schools in the oountry were not taught on i Saturdays. This no doubt gave the children t the chance to wash and iron their clothes, to do some oooklng, and to do any other work whloh oar pious forefathers might have deemed necessary for a proper observance of the Sabbath day. Bat College boys and girls are expected to do nothing of the kind In this day and time. Could a Jury of teacher* give any good reason why,they should not work six days, as other people do? ? i Brsling People?Overworked Cooke. 8tores and other business place* were closed Wednesday and Thursday of last week, and for the time nearly all business was suspended. We arenot exactly In sympathy with the universal suspension of business. At most, we think U well tor all men, who have as much money as they want, to rest and go hunting, or fishing, on the Fourth of July, on Thanksgiving, and on Christmas times; but men who are struggling to get rlob can ill afford to loss the days. Again, If , one set of our people cease from labor, where is the Justice or the lalrness of requiring or expeeting hotels and boarding bouses-to do more cooking on Christmas than any other time of tbeyeai? To Impose additional labor on one set of people while the other plays la boat on a par with the aot of the preacher who enlarges on the duty ot observing the Sabbath day, while fllty or a hundred oooka re at tjbe different homes racing with the > preaober to see whether they can get a big diDner ready before the learned divine finishes bis diatribe againat violation of the holy law. Qalet Chrlalmas. Abbeville always behaves heiself on Christmas, and it la nothing nnnsoal or especially notable in the fact that peace sobriety, good order, and sweet fellowship characterize the happy days ol the Christmas week. Hunters of game were leas crnel than nanal on Christmas. Ordinarily some game is bagged ,bnt not so this Christmas, if we are to Judge others by one party of bnnters that we aw. Tbev returned to town each having a big gan, bat neither having; any game that 1 We saw. If you see anybody with a goo next j week you needn't think that be la a bird banter, a rabbit killer, or a squirrel shooter, t He is only a bill collector and bas his gun t along as a persuader. A man with a shot gt^n t might collect where others fail. t a , r I Mr. R. 8. Boozer, of ChappellS, was in town i last wetk, and renewed acquaintance with c this editor, formed many years ago. Mr. | B oozer doesn't lack mnch of belngaclUsin < of thiB county. He owns twelve acres in the < town of Due W?t, which was once known as the "Lindsay lot." Slnoe he bought it the ] value of real eetate in Due West has greatly I Increased. Last week he refused from Mr. J. i H. McDlll a sum In cash double the amount whioh he paid for it. Mr. Boozer married the youngest daughter of Dr. Joseph H. Jennings, who was assistant surgeon of the 19th 8. C. Vols. The supply of ( medicines in the army was limited, and at ( times his prescription was red oak bark tea, or "pulverized doverl." There was not in , the western army a better man tban Dr. Joe Jennings. ? Wbat Is the Matter? It has been said that wonder* never ceam This la a time of great wooden. The United States Supreme Conrt bag refused a new bearing for Beojamln D. Greene and Jobn F. Goynor, wbo are under aentenoe to pay $575,749 and to undergo lmpriaonmeat for four years eaob on tbe charge of embezzlement In onneotlou with the harbor Improvement* at Savannah. Ifauob action oftbe United States Supreme Court sboold oome down to tbe State Courts, it is barely possible that tome oftbe murderous gentlemen of tbe State may be refused t tbe neoessary new trials to secure an ac- c qulttai, in case Juries should ever convict i them. i I i Missing a Week. , Quite a number of tbe country newspapers < suspended publication for Christmaa week, i It baa been many a week ainoe the Press and 1 Banner missed an isane for any reason. Tbe t winter season is tbe busiest time of the year, i and tbere Is more to print then than in tbe < summer. If there is to be a suspension it g seems that about tbe Fourth of July would be tbe time. In saying that the Press and Banner has not missed a week for, say thirty ( years, we have no Idea of holding it up as an example. We only meant to emphasize our oonvictlons. Christmas week being fully as profitable as any other week, we do not suspend. Family at Dinner. Mr. Frank Henry of this olty bad bis children and grandchildren with him at dinner on Christmas day?all being present but one grandchild. Be has nineteen grand children, and he la not yet the oldeet man id town by a long way. He has good reason to be proud of bla children; the Good Book aaya that children's children are an old man'a orown. Bo be has a great crown. When these little ones grow up to manhood and womanhood. Mr. Henry will be a patriarch Indeed. tn Thol > riixrnnl Unm. One of the moat elegant homes on Main Street Is that whloh Mr. P. A. Cheatham has i recently built and occupied.
