The Press and Banner 8v W, W. and W. R, Bradley. HUGH WILSON, I'M I tor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^-Published every Wednesday at, 52 a year In advance. Wednesday, May 20, 1908. Serobatic Aviini; Mixed with <*ood StoricH. Mr. Jame8 F. Bradley, candidate for treasnrer of this County sometimes entertains his friends with pleasant stories, which they love to bear, and sometimes lie adds to a good story some startling gymnastic teats which are even us entertaining as bis stories One day last week be wbb entertaining a number of attentive listeners in the piazza oi the Miller hotel, which is now used as a Conrt bouse. The piazza, though on tbe first - ?*? *? * *Vto oIiIoisq I tr floor, IB 801116 six leet ttuuvc The banisters bad been In position for many years. Mr. Bradley's chair was set back against tbem. Without giving to his hearers the least hint as to hi* gymnastic performance, or of change In the program, he guve a push against the old banister, completely knocking It oat of position, when ne threw his bead back and lifted his feet high in the air, then he turned heels over bead and proceeded to show bis friends bow easily and bow quickly be could reach the sidewalk wltbont the trouble of going to the stepsMr. Bradley and the lrBgmentB of the banister lay flat on tbe ground in'let-s time than it takes to tell the story, and all bis spectators rushed by way of tbe steps to the sidewalk, each lriecd expectti g to pick up a piece of their friend whom they had txpected to flnd broken all to pieces. They found blm Intact ? ?* -1"!" ?>cwt iha inm?h on them. an a uuuuu, nunc ? ?>?v. -? ?? The wonderful leat wa3 performed bo skillfully that the actor sustained no Injury. The sudden stretching of himself out on the sidewalk, however, was a little bard on bis trousers, wblch were split wide open, and temporarily knocked out of commission Mr. Bradley Is still In the ring. He didn't even get bis neck broken. Having been ?n tlrely succeeslul, and being perfectly certain tbat be can jump out of the hotel piazza bockwards to the sidewalk, he deems It unnecessary to repeat gymnastic feats. He knows he can do It, and he can prove it by a great number of witnesses. Greenwood County Is young but she Is cer talnly taking some forward steps. We are" leaving Abbeville In the distance.?Greenwood Journal. Nothing like having a high Ideal neighbor. Of course yon may never reach that degree of excellence which you bave noted in your ideal, and striven so bard to surpass, but you are better, much better, for the effort. And then If you tnlnk tbat you have at lest taken a few steps In advance of your pacc maker the delusion will do you no harm. Your old ib x>t>rv nrond of the evidences oil good that now and then crop out of you. It Is sometimes better to exagerate the good than to be too critical of faults. Ju6t by way of encouragement, you know. Greenwood is growing very nicely. Some day she will be more modest and wear great long dresses clear down to her shoes. Ol course a little vanity of persons is excusable at her age, and with her beauty. It Is not known in just wbat refpect our good brother thinks that Greenwood bas outstripped Abbeville. Certainly tbere Is no reason to complain at ibis end of the line. Modesty would suggest that you do not In vlte us to count bouses, measure stand pipes, compare public structures and tbe like jvltb yon. Without meaning to burt your feelings we have passed that stage for tbe exhibition of vanity. Tbere is demand here for more and greater onH HtcpiHnpR than can be fur OIVi D IVVUiD uuv> v> .. 0? nlsbed. The people of this county last year heard something of a panlo.ln fact there were tangible evidences seen here occasionally In the shape of Greenwood Clearing House Certificates. They were accepted and circulated here out of sympathy; but when a Greenwood man brought one across the border be began at once to set about to trade it for real money. The farmers of this county are stll! holding iomethlDg like $200,000 worth of cotton, because tbey don't specially need It, and Just to mix with the green cotton next season, you know. We are not complaining over here neighbor. Don't know anything that we are specially short on except commercial failures. It is true that we keep a Referee in Bankruptcy here, and we are too modest to say why he preferB to stay here. When he wants to get busy in this particular line ot ' " ? - work be grazes id omer anu greeuei uwus. You do outstrip us In some things neighbor, but somehow, we can't be sorry. When you make tbe bold statement that you "are leaving Abbeville In the distance," excuse us If we ask for a witness less Interested than a Greenwood newspaper, however good It may be. M ad DogH. We have been asked to call the attention of our people to tbe danger from rabid dogs. In many places people have been bitten and where the unfortunates have not been sent to a Pasteur Institute the result has often been fatal. Many persons In this community are unable to take the treatment, and none should be subjected to tbe danger of being bitten. For security to the public health dogs should be muzzled. Tbe danger is so great In Greenville from which city twenty persons have already been sent off for treatment that the mayor of that city has ordered the police to shoot every unmuzz:ed dog found upon tbe streets and our own city council, might act promptly In the Interest of the public safety. There never was a time when a greater number of dogs were going (mad. We bave heard;of two In this community that baveal ready been killed on suspicion of being mad. As a rule there is more danger from the favorite dogs than from tbe scrubs. Every dog that .is killed lessens tbe danger. The State Democratic Convention will meet in Columbia today to nominate William Billy IOr IBB loiru IKCUU IUO iu?mB v.vou. .x,. Ident. B'ily's non-admirers should be shot. If, however, they are allowed to live In this State, tbey will try to get along peacably. And now It Is said that the wives ol some ol the men wbose names appear on the dispensary blind tiger petition signed their husband's names to that wonderful document. The petition asking the town council for an election on the matter of Issuing bonds with which to buy the electric plant is being very generally signed once. Up to this time ncbody has signed, or offered to sign It more than once. The requisite number of single shots can be bad, without calling In repeaters To Help Greenwood. We note In the Greenwood Journal of May 13th a list of delegates from the various K of 1\ Lodges of Greenwood County. The two lodges at Troy, Greenwood County are repre sented by J. U. Wardlaw, T. J. Britt, L. P. Mullmax, and F.T.Young. JuBt to keep the { record stronger we reall the fact that Messrs Wardlaw, Brltt, and Young live in ADoevme County; three out of four. We don't mind lending Greenwood these J good men where their services are needed J but we think too much of them to have them '1 appropriated. Prof. Hugnelet. One of the beRt evidences that this city bai passed the village stage la seen In the fac that the highest class men In every wait o life are being attracted here. One of tb most recent of these new comers Is Prof. .Tule G. Huguelet, who has fitted up a beautlfu musical studio In the upper rooms of th Abbeville Really Building. Every thin about the studio Is attractive to the mnsl lover, notably, oil paintings of the world' greatest composers. The piano on which Prof. Huguelet give lessons Is a thousand dollar grand, of tb beet make. He also has a violin that Is mor than one hundred and fifty years old. Prof. Huguelet has served as organist an musical director In some of the mostproml nent churches of the South. He was fc twenty years organist at the Holy Commur Ion, and three years at St. Philips In Cdarlei ton, S. C. In Atlanta he engaged with th Westminster Presbyterian church and bl valuable services recommended him to th congregation of St. Pnillps, the largest Eplt copal cburch of that city. He Is master c bis profession, and bis coming here affords real opportunity to students of music wh bave talents wortb cultivating. He does nc follow bis profession blindly for the mone that Is In It and Is entirely frank in advlsln bis pupils. Congressman Aiken Has Hade Gooc Anderson Daily Mall. Someweeks ago a gentleman from New berry was In Washington, at the time tb bouse committee on public buildings wa holding public bearings, and be complalnei mightily because Congressman Aiken dl not make an engagement lor blm to go be fore the committee and make a speeob urj Ing an appropriation for a court bouse fo Newberry. Mr, Aiken said be bad no objection to tb gentleman making the speech, but that 1 could ,do no possible good, and would b an (unnecessary waste of tbe committee' time. |Mr. Aiken assured tbe gentlema that everything that could be done to secur tbe appropriation was being done. Mr. Aiken's judgment has been vindicated Tbe public buildings bill has Just passed tb bouse, and It contains an Hem for 830,000 fc a postofflce building for Newberry. And 1 ncama ?n im I hut MlIs is mlghtv llbpral. fo Newberry Is not near as big a town nor an In portant as Anderson whs wben sbe got be first appropriation of ?50,000 for a postofflc building. Mr. Aiken was right in the course be put sued. Public committee hearings seldom d any good and often they do harm. Certain ly they can do no good In the matter of ai appropriation for a postofflce building. Th committee has on flie ail tne figures sbowlni t' e amount of business done at each post office In the United State*, and nothing tba anybody oouid say would b? more convlnclni than these figures. A long winded speeet from a dull speaker mlgbt defeat an appro prlatlon, while a little judlolons work at th right time by the right sort of a congressmai might land an appropriation In a doubtfu case. We have an idea that tbe Newberr; appropriation whs secured in this manne more than any other. Mr. AlkeD has made good In this mattei and be 16 to be congratulated. And wben you come to think about It b bas made a mighty good congressman. Ue i now serving bis third term, and during tba time be bas secured appropriations for fou public buildings in his district?for Andei son,Green wood, Abbeville and Newberry and bas Just secured an Increase for And?r son. What better reoord could be nave made Can any other southern congressman sboi such a record? LOWNDESVILLE. ' Mr. J. T.

While tbe weather conditions may have been about tbe same In this section as It others, yet there Is doubtless a considerable diflerenoe In crop conditions. For sometime tnere has been here a scarcity of rain. Tbi abundant ralns'durlng the winter kept th< ground'soaked and dryer weather since caused tbe land to beoome hard In a few dayi This delayed tbe preparation of tbe land anl the planting or the crops.

Bear Pa: I arrived here, my polui of destl0 natloo, about 2 p. m. oa Monday tbe 11th s lust., alter a very pleasant and uneventlul j Journey ol five days. I Immediately reported at tbe office of tbe 6 Superintendent of tbe Sobool, whom I found g to be quite a gentlemanly and agieeabie perc won. he had Just entered upon tbe duties ol bis position, having been assigned the duty 8 here since I received my appointment. After taking tbe prescribed oatb, wblcb 1b ,8 required ol ail persons filling government positions, tbe Super)ntendent ordered a team e hitched up and sent me over to the College e buildings, which are sltuatad about 1-4 or a mile from his office. Tbe Superintendent Is also the the government agent for this resera vatlon. 1- This is comparatively a small scbool, not ir being moietban one hundred and forty or fifty cblldren In attendanca '* Tbe Institution bears evidence of having s- been well managed. Everything is Just as ~ ueat and orderly an can be and tbe children | well behaved and present a much better ap18 pearance In every way than those attending e the large school at Phoenix. The children attending this school belong to a brancn of the tribe known as the Apaohe " Indians. a There are only some twenty or twenty-Ave 0 white persons connected with the school and the agency, and only a very few living 11 around the railway station about a mile y away, e The school buildings are located on the bor der of a very pretty little valley, with a mountainous back ground, with a scattering growth of pines and fur trees. The sohool buildings are of recent cosntruc1 tlon, very comlortabie and conveniently ar' ranged. They are supplied with hot and cold water baths, steam heated and with acetallne gas lights. It is quite cool here yet, which Is Dot sure prising, in view of the faot that it la about ? 7000 feet above sea level and in a very moun3 talnous region. <1 On Tuesday night the 12th, there was a conJ" eiderable fall ol anow and It was still falling t* at seven o'clock next morning when I arose. r About nine o'clock tbe sun shown out ior a iittie while, a little later it sleeted, then raine ed, but by eleven o'olock it bad cleared up so 11 that you could not see a sign of snow?not e even on the surrounding mountains- So it " seems that this is quite a fiUul climate, D but being bo elevated it Is not so disagreeable e as such a variety of weather would prove to be In sections near tbe sea level. ' In coming from Pueblo, Colorado, to this e place I passed through some grand and awe 'f inspiring scenery?lar surpassing anything 1 that I bad ever seen before in all my Journeyrl innn ihmiioh thin trnnnerfnl western countrv a of ours. r At certain points tbe railroad track wait e more than ten thousand feet above sea level, and at various places tbe grade was so steep '* as to necessitate two huge engines to pull tne 0 train. '* In ascending tbe mountains at many places 0 tbe traok was so winding and tortuous tbat It e seemed possible lor tbe engineer In tbe front B to bave easily conversed wltb tbe conductor ' or others in tbe rear part of tbe train, wbo 1 were only a few feet below bim. Aswerusb^ ed around those curves apparently leaning 1 against tbe aide oi tbe mountain from which ~ bad been dug what seemed to be barely 6 enough to create a road bed sufficiently wide J to accommodate the train, with a fearful 1 looking gorge or precipice on tbe other side. I y could not but think what would be our fate r should the track spread or a tie give way. At one point a good sized calf tbat bad wan' dered off from Its companions and was leisurely walking on tbe track, barely escaped e being run over as we rounded a particularly f acute bend In the road way. It was fortunate 1 for tbe calf and no doubt for all on board tbat r train, tb?t ltescaped wltb possibly only some ' slight bruises, for If It bad been squarely bit by tbe engine It would have never known " what struck It. and we, with tbe entire train, 7 In all probability would bave been burled for v bundreds of feet down tbe mountain side. This was tbe first time I bad ever bad anything of an extensive view of tbe Rockies, and barring tbe nervousness with which I would be occaBsonally seized, at some of the particularly nerve-trying points, I enjoyed tbe grand and majestic works of a mighty, } though an Invisible hand, to the lullest of m; g capacity. At many places there was to be seen away j down Id iDe vaueya oeiow, mriu uuuon . wblcb looked no larger than ordinary cblcken coops, with here and there little plats of > cultivated ground round and about tbem, wblcb was about tbe only evidence that tbey were tbe abodes of buman creatures. 1 At otber points oocld be sfcen immense , flocks of sheep scurrying down tbe mountain i sides, being frightened by tbe npproacblng train?then again In some sheltered sunny i spot could be seen a herder with a bunch of , ewes each having one or two young lambs, , thus giving a pleasing variety to tbe passing j scenes. , The mountains for miles aod miles along i the route were covered with snow?wblcb , were at times only a sbort dlstktoe Hbove us, , looking like sliver peaks in tbe Run light, I with not a tree or shrub to be seen. Then, again, there would be beautiful transparent l streams of water formed by tbe melting snow seen rushing down tbe mountain sides, occaI slonaily leaping over precipices, as If rejolr, lng over their escape from tbe lone winter's confinement in these mountain fastnesses.
