t The Frees and Banner W. W. * W. R. BRADLEY, Editor*. ABBEVILLE, S. C. o WPnbliahed every Wednesday at 12 ? 7ear In advanoe. Wednesday, Nov. 10, 1909. Rev. P. B. WellsHis many friends in Abbeville will be sorry to hear that Rev P B Wells now takes medicine. When he was in Abbeville he was the picture of health and was thought to be as hardy as a pine knot, and possessed of more untiring energy than a steam engine, but now as we learn from the Anderson Mail he has to take medicine for "'liver trouble for indigestion.and a general tonic." Feeling a great interest in Mr. Wells, we 1** 4-Vv~?. WUU1U ouuiau uc wucvu xxici ui^u wj eating vegetables and frait, and that he chew his food, and refrain from washing It down. By a little care of his diet and thoroughly chewing his food we hope that he may recover his health. The church and the State cannot afford to lose so good a man, neither can the people contemplate anything that looks like he was contracting the medicine habit. We hope that he maybe able to come to conference next month. There must be something wrong in Anderson when two preachers, two bankers and several other gentlemen, who are unidentified, must take the same medicine. r- > Abbeville at the Fair. Abbeville County had two exhibits at the State Fair. One a display of Oppler oats by Mr. W. P. Wham and another display of cotton by Mr. W. A. Hagan. Mr. W. P. Wham received a blue ribbon for his oats. The oats were built into a booth, weatherboarded and thatched, and within was a sample of the threshed oats. Mr. "Wham is an enterprising farmer. His display of oats and the quality of the grain does him credit. Had it not been for Mr. Wham, Abbeville County, the best county in the State, would have gone without a blue ribbon. Abbeville should have had more exhibits. In poultry, in corn, in Ismail grains, in stock she is the equal of any of her sister counties, and why not prove it by producing the goods at the State Fair. Next fall will be a good time for Abbeville to have a fair of her own. In this way the exhibits can be collected and shipped to the 8tatc fair, and Abbeville will get her share of the free advertisement. Poor Koraa One would suppose that Koreans, living as near to the empire of Nippon as they do would know the Japanese character bettor than thev rln The Irilliric of Prince Ito viceroy of Korea at Harbin is sure to bring untold trouble down upon the head of Korea. Japan punishes with a heavy hand even any small insult to her dignity in the east and when one of her great men is murdered by a people under her suzerainty trouble may be expected by that people. The little, weak, country of Korea may hope for nothing unless she submits to the dictates of Japan. The act of assasinating Prince Ito was cruel in the extreme. Prince Ito was a benignant ruler. He of all men could have done most for Korea. He of all men could exact greatest concessions for the Penensula from Japan, then what a mistake to kill him. When Ito died, Korea's best friend was lost to her, and that that best friend should die by the hand of a Korean is simply theirony of fate. Korea will be sorry. Rev- Henry PressleyThe pulpit of the A. R. P. church was filled on last Sunday by Eev. Henry Pressley. He leaves this week for Mexico where he goes to take up the work of Reu. J. S. A. Hunter, deceased. He goes as a missionary from the A. R, P. church. Mr. Pressley is well fitted for the work. I His mother toungue is the Spanish, having been brought up in Mexico. He speaks the Spaniah as fluently as he speaks English and of course better than any one may hope to speak it who was not brought up in Spanish territory. Mr. Pressley's father Rev. Neil K Pressley has been laboring in the Mexican field for 35 years. Anything we have left In oloaks has got to goand now Is yonr time to secure a bargain. The L. W. White Co.

On last Thursday cotton sold here at 15 1-8, on last Monday it had dropped to 14 1-8. On yesterday the market jumped 59 points upward, bringing the price up to 14 3-4 cents. The jump was due to the Ginner's report which places the number of bales ginned at 7,012,317, a loss of one million bales over last year. South Carolina, this time last year had ginned 821,608 bales, and this year she lias ginned up to this time 789,900 bales. It is estimated that South Carolina this year will make one-tenth of all the cotton made in the Southern states. To Make Washington Dryin a recent interview which is copied in this paper, Congressman Aiken proposes to pass a bill through Congress making the District of Columbia dry. iitHlfinnftl cirrniflrAnpA is civen to his expressed purpose, when it is recalled that he is a member of the Committee of Congress that controls the city of Washington. He occupies a position relative to that city very much akin that of member of city council. One of the measures introduced by him in Congress some years ago, looked to the stopping of interstate traffic in whiskey. Fluffy Ruffles, Manager Cheatham is to be congratulated on the high class 6hows that he has treated the people of Abbeville to this season. He deserves good houses, for he presents plays here as good as can be seen in any city of the south. In Fluffy Ruffles, he will present the people *with one of the largest musical comedies south, and one that furnishes solid enjoyment from the opening, of the cnrtain. Many people from nearby towns who have recently seen tms snuw, are coming here to see it. It is a high class opera, such as our people will seldom have an opportunity to see. , To Kill Lunatics The Major of Plymont England,solemnly proposes to the Medical Association of his place the] killing of all hopelessly insane persons, and Imbeciles. "Would this not make neighbors a little far apart in some, communities. Death of a Child. Euftice Shirley, the 19 month old daughter of Mr. and Mrs George Shirley died last Friday night at 12 oclock. Little Eunice was taken ill very suddenly and lived only a few hours. She was a beautiful child and the ideal of her devoted parents. Her little body was laid to rest at Bod?es Sat. at 3 oclock. ur sincere Sympathy go out ro the bereaved parents. The latest papers coming to this office are the News and Courier and Anderson mail, both arrive about dark on day of publication. The faith that meets difficulties with a^ determined purpose is the kind of faith that overcomes. Prosperity is not a blessing if your wants increase at a more rapid pace than your possessions. "It's not so much what a man has that makes him happy as what he doesn't want." 40? "Fluffy Ruffiee" will be here Monday night at the Opera House, and this is without doubt one of the greatest musical comedies in the South. R. L.

This pair of m horses are pulling one thousand t: their own weight. He brings out anc pair hitched to a minature cannon an they walk with their load as if they 1 well on to their job.
