The Press and Banner Bv W, W, and W, R. Bradley. HUGH WILSON, Editor. --------m T--W--W Y XT* a j-Pnbllshed every Wednesday at 12 year Id advanoe. Wednesday, May 27, 1908. In Monday's News and Courier, Mr. W. P. Greene, ot the Abbeville bar, had a most Interesting story of tbe building development wbloh has struck Abbeville. Abbeville will soon have a modern court house and city ball, and In addition a number of buslnesc buildings are In process of erection. Green wood Is pleased to know of the work thai U going on In Abbeville and hopes for still further and larger development, for whlcb there Is abundant room over toere.?Greenwood Index. Tne same might be said ot St. Louis or 1 ? ? ?- ono imin that 1b not V^UlUt^U, AU iOVk, V* finished or overdone. May Abbeville Dever be set down In either class ! Give us ultra moderation even, rather tban a "busted" boom. A FABLE. A frog, observing the steady movement ol an ox was disposed to ridicule blm. "See," aid the frog, "bow I go by leaps and bonnds, while you tug along at a snail's pace. The ox took, no notice of the frog's comment, whereupon the frog determined to make his presence known, He called out in tbe loudest tones of a voice, Bomewbat out ofpropor. tlon to his size, telling tbe ox of his defects. cut all kinds of antics beloie the ox In tbe effort to Impress blm with hilmportanoe, but tbe ox meaning no dlBrespect, really did not see blm, > be was busy attending to his own affairs. "That ox needn't put on airs," said tbe frog. "This ? I. nnihlnir mnrA than A UiHlier ui kiuhid ?... matter of wind and mouth and I've got the world skinned on these. 1 am golDg to swell myself up to his size, then I guess be will see me. Accordingly he Bet his two double valve air pumps to work, and It tlokled him moat to death to see how fast be grew. Gazing at bis destined outline*, with his own eyes of course, be fancied himself as large and even larger than the ox. How glorious the delusion! Id the midst of the pleasant contemplation of his enlarged proportions, the Inflated dermic gave way, and much to bis dismay, be foand himself shrinking. Shrinking, even while Inhaling great sluices of the light elemeot through the ever active air pumps. The ox, attraoted a! last by the frog's croaking, bent on blm an eye of oompaulon rather than of crltlolsm. "Patch op and oome agalD," said the ox. "Yoo may oever be an ox, but yon have Id you the vim to make a Duiirrog 01 some uuw. Moral. Moderate growth Is better than a busted boom. The Beat QrowiuR Crop. The Misses Gilmer live In tbe house of Mr. S. T. Eakln ou Washington street, next door to the Miller hotel. Some time back a rlob plaoe In tbe garden was planted In vegetable!. The crop come up before breakfastr and haa been growing ever since at a moat rapid rate. Tbe fact is, It seems that tbe v egetablea never rest. If our readers would believe us we would suggest that I bey must grow continuously night and day. If it were not for tbe fact that the young ladles sometimes worship lu the A. R. P. Church, we would believe that tbey allow their vegetables to grow on Sunday as well as in tbe night time. But being good and pious young ladles of the A. R. P. profession we believe If tbey found their beans and beets growing on Sunday tbey would go out on Monday morning and poll up tbe whole sacrlllglous lot and throw them Into a boiling pot. Coming Home. We learn tbat Miss Janle Fennal who formerly kept books In tbe Press and Banner ( fflce Is coming borne from Atlanta, to Btay In town for a week or two. Tbe Press and Banner notes wltb pleasure tbat tbe Hon. T. B. Crews of tbe Laurensvllle Herald received one of tbe honors of tbe Btate Democratic Convention. He didn't draw tbe flrit prize, bnt he was an easy winner of tbe second prize. It was a deserved honor for an old patriot, who has served bis country so well In peaoe and Id war. Tbe other men who received honors will excuse us for speaking of onr friend who was once an Abbeville boy, or a mighty young man some fifty odd years ago. Mr. Paul Chlsbolm, printer of Cheater, Is now setting type In tbe Press and Banner office. We Deeded a linotype or something else of the Bort, but owlog to tbe faot that these macblDea cost bo much, Mr. Chlsbolm took pity od us and came over to help us. We do not Deed a linotype dow. a linotype has to have belp, Mr. Chlsbolm Deeds none. We just throw the oopy at him. He does tbe rest. His many friends were glad to see Mr, Bendy Miller able to be again on the streets one day last week. He Is the local station agent of the Seaboard Railroad, and is tbe husband of a moat lovely wife. Blessed as be Is with a good place at big pay, and having a pretty life companion as an associate he had good reasoD to fight tbe fever, tbe world and tbe devil. He has about won the victory over typhoid, aod do maa now has reason to be happier. With a swift trotter and a light running rubber tire buggy our police may quickly respond to telephonlo calls. Disturbers of peaoe will hereafter barely have time to blacken each other'B eyea before the ohlefor other faithful officer will pounce Gown upon them. Even the Victoria a little fight will have not sufficient time to get out of light before the police will be there. It seems to us that Senator F. B. Gary la very macb pleased with bis Job In Washington. Abbeville is oerUilnly well represented at the National oapltol with a real live, wideawake delegate at each end of the oapltol. Representative Wyatt Aiken and Senator F. B. Qary make a good team. The Presa and Banner office U now a very busy place. The satisfactory work and the liberal prices keep the printers up to their ye-brows In work. They never bad as much to do at this season of the year. All work Is sidetracked when brlefr oome Into the office. Would William Billy tinker with tbe tariff, or would he give away tbe PblUipurmitrti h? fill ur> the Panama canal? ! tllUOOi T, , Would he olose up Wall street, the source of i our money supplies? Would be crush trusts and corporations? Would he stop farther la- j vestment in manufacturing enterprises? i ? j On Mrs. Gulnnes' farm In Illinois grave robbers have already dug up about a dozen J bodies, and still tbe work or digging goes on. it seems that these searchers for cadavers are hard to satisfy. The newspapers every day reoord the death , of one or more Confederate veterans. If It M were not for the pension roll, there would be * good ground for the belief that the old soldiers were nearly all gone.

Futures cannot be spun or woven into cloth, if they could, ( cotton would not have made this advance. Do not let a little ad- < vance in price influence you to sell. Hold on till the minimum is , reached. Remember the cotton broker has sold your cotton to the mills, now make him give the minimum before he gets it to deliver ' to the manufacturer. They are calling him for cotton is why it has advanced. Now boys, freeze to it, and the price will get right. The spot cotton is in your hands, and it is yours. The other fellow is beginning to want it badly now. Remember 4,500,000 bales short, means something and the shortage is all in youi favor. We all know that crop conditions are bad, not only east of the Mississippi, but i. - west. aiso. The crop is at least three weeks late and bad stands, and the cold weather has caused much replanting. Every day will have to be an ideal day from now until the crop is made for us to duplicate the 1907 crop. Miss Giles says the general condition of the crop is 15 per cent, better this year than last, kemember this is only guess work with her and is a guess that is far wrong. She gets pay for this guessing. The European Mills now want cotton and they will need 1,000000 bales more of( American cotton this year than they have been using. The Egyptian and India crop is 2,qoo,ooo bales short and they have been getting most of that cotton. High grade cotton is scarce, not enough to fill orders that have /-v# morlraf Vine KpAn tVl P PQ n <sP of ivi . iiu.uu.g <-mi int. the rise. Boys, if you hold, the minimum will come, so do the right thing at the right time, hold; remember corn is $1.00 cash now, still plenty of time to plant yet, so raise enough food crops to do you next year.

Feeling a particular Interest In tbe appropriation of Fifty Thousand dollars appropriated by Congresy for tbe bolldlng of a new Poatoffloe Building; at Abbeville, S. C., this editor called to see Senator Gary Id reference to tbe matter. Senator Gary was engaged In opening and reading letters just received bv him. He was asked wbat Is tbe status of tbe matter? Senator Gary replied tbat be oould best answer tbe question by showing tbe editor a letter Just received. Tbe letter is as follows: United States Senate, Washington, D. C., >lay 24,1908. Hon. F. B. Gary, Abbeville. Sonth Carolina. Dear Senator: Thinking you would desire Information direct, I write to say tbat tbe three Items put In the public buildings bill ktt ?nn fnrSonth Carolina were retained by Ibe conferees and are In tbe bll'. Trusting tbat you may have a pleasant and agreeable inmmer, and assuring you ol ibe pleasure It will give me Lo aid you In any way I can, I am, very truly yours, C. A. Culberson. Senator Gary explained tbat tbe other two Items referred to In tbe letter, were ten thousand dollars additional each for Anderson and Sumter. At a previous Congress Fifty Thousand dollars was allowed to Anderson and 8umter respectively for public buildings. It was found tbat seventy thousand dollars was needed by eacb place. When the present bill was In tbe Lower House, ten thousand dollars additional was given to Anderson and 8umter, and when tbe bill came to tb? Senate an additional ten thousand dollars was allowed to each of these pIhccs, at tbe request of Senator Gary, thus giving to eacb tbe full amount desired by It. Senator Gary Is particularly appreciative of tbe considerate treatment and loyal help received by him from Senators on tbe Committee on Pnbllo Buildings ana Grounds, ol which be Is tbe youngest member. He says tbat the fact tbat Abbeville Is his borne town bad muoh to do with the result. Senator! are always glnd to do anything lo reason for a brother Senator's bome town. Bat all tbe Items bad substantial merit In them and it was appreciated. Senatar Gary stated further that in these matters be bad tbe active and effiolent cooperation of Congressman Aiken. From this interview with Senator Gary the Importance of having tbe cooperation of strong and active men In bctb branches of tbe National Legislature Is apparent ICE A PLENTY. Free lee Cream nod Free Watermelon* In the Prospective. Abbeville is now well supplied with Ice, and at a price mnch below the figures wblcb formerly ruled. Tbe new loe plant at Abbe vllle Is freezing a great quantity of water as It comes from the ground, and busy wagons deliver it to customers in all parts 01 me olty. Tbat ever wide awake and thorough business firm of McDIll & Norwood ships In great ear loads of the ooldest loe that you ever aaw. This enterprising firm Is still actively engaged Id keeplDg people ccol and happy. There Is now positively no need for any body to be bot la tbe collar or dry In tbe throat. But In order to add to tbe gaiety of DatloDS, our young friend, Mr. Grover Holllngsworth, has opened a retail ice plant on Main street where tbe greatest or tbe smallest chunks of tbe congealed liquid may be Instantly sawed off at yonr command. We already have Ice?cold Ice?In all quantities. Aa soon as we discover or open a milk well, the town council will have free loe oream stands at every Corner, where tbe coldest and tbe most delicious loe cream will go in every dlreotlon. Somebody has suggested tbat tbe monument park should be planted in watermelons to be given out free on Saturdays to all customers at oar stores. If customers get free watermelon* on Saturdays and free Ice cream every day In tbe week, we shall not ex. peot tbe prosperous little town of Anderson to show a better trade, a better town, or better treatment than free watermelons once a week free Ice oream from Monday morning to Saturday night, even If belated customers should not get a saucer until Sunday school time. It will be against tbe roles for anybody to stick bis nose Into a slice of watermelon. DEATH OF JOUETTE BENTLY, After Holding on to Life for Twelve years, be got* to the Great Beyond Jouette BeDtley, eldest son of Mrs. Bentley,' widow of the late W. H.
