, ^ #*? < ^ ^ The Abbeville Press and Banned BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE. 8 C.? WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1910. ESTABLISHED lfjj Call it Something Else- Q A great hal-a-ba-loo has been and is being raised over a certain question en- M titled, according to its adherents and M opponents alike, "Compulsory Education." Q Now every one is aware that we cannot get too much education, that we do not M get half enough. We ull lament that we Ifl have not more opportunities for special O mental dicipline. We all know that ttie N youth of South Carolina should go to II school- we all know that. BH Whence comes this antagonism to com- Q pulsory education? Is it antagonism to R education? No. Then it mu6t be to the aj other half of the subject, viz., "compulsary." U We pay compulsory taxes but we do not R call them by that name. We observe com- |J pulsory game laws but we do not call n them by that name. We obey compulsory U health ordinances but we call them by N another name. LJ When the average American is pulled H up before that word "compulsory" he grits U his teeth and reaches for his knife at W once, without considering what may be LJ hitched to the word. He repudiates any H thing with "compulsory" tied to it with- Igj ' out once trying to find its value. il He would kick at paying taxes should ki they be called "compulsory" taxes. He is H not going to be compelled to do any thing; LJ while he does dozens of things which he is PI "obliged" to do. 5 jj It is an unfortunate name that has been P | tied to the education bill. Do not call it I | "Compulsory." Give it a name that will IJ fool us. We do not mind being fooled in fj the least but you cannot compel us to do H any thing. * I For hundreds of yesrs we have been Mj fighting in order to avert being compelled Q to do things, and now at this late day our II law makers would pass a law with the f jj nocuous and obnoxious word at its very II head. What poor judgment! O Call it "Improved Education;" call it N "Universal Education;" call it "Extended II Education;" call it "Popular Education; II call it "Democratic Education;" call it Q 'Twentieth Century Education;" call it? R oh, any thing in the world but that (J abomniable word "compulsory." W?, Think for a minute what an anomaly U you have mixed up in that pet phrase, R "compulsory education." "Compulsory,'' LJ comes from the word, pello, to drive; while pjp "education"comes fromduco to lead! So U "compulsary education" means a "driving R leading act, the which is paradoxical. It is a great pity that the promoters of H universal education have 'hitched this U abomniable word to such an important N matter. Had they not done so the bill LJ would have become a law long ago and H we would even now be doing, with a good U grace, what we so vehemently oppose as N undemocratic. y u Second Class Post Office For Abbeville ? After March 31,1910 it is likely that the uuLji Post office at Abbeville will go into the second class. Th To become a sccond class post office it ^et is necessary that the gross receipts of the tl office be $8000,00 for the twelve months sett The postal year runs from March 31st to Pla,y March 31st. wo? The business done for the first quarter in stamps alone, no postal orders counted, was $1767.11. For the second quarter it ^ej' was $1873.09, for the third quarter it was theii $2331.84. What the fourth auarter will show remains to be seen. If $2027.11 worth Pro^ of stamps should be sold during this ^ quarter, the sale of stamps alone would ^?UI put the office into the second class. When c^c the postal orders or money order business is counted the amount of business done sent swells to sufficient proportions to easily place the office in the second class. The gain of the first two quarters of last '??k year is about 1400.00 in the sale of stamps ?^ni alone. youi There are two requirements for free P'?^ city delivery, the fulfillment of either of w which will secure the service. The first is in^a that the town have 10,000 inhabitants; the thin second is that the town does a $10,000 business. Abbeville will be able to comply are - " 1 A. A _ 1 - _ 1 .

Webster has both illustrated, and while cref both belong to the rodent family, they are Yc not much alike. The ground squirrel is trou as pretty a little fellow with his bright , markings as one could wish to see, and he ttial is common in this section. He is not quite salt one foot long with his tail thrown in for t>e { good measure. The ground hog we have seen, but he must be native to the Blue Ridge mountains, as the origin of the expression "arround hoc rase" is attributed to this ..r region in North Carolina. It is related bav that a stranger passing by saw a native croi excitedly digging in the ground, stopped to ask the cause, when tha native told him J*'1' it was a case of necessity?"meat or no taK meat for dinner?and he was bound to orn ketch that ground hog."?North Augusta peri New Era. ley' It will soon be time to paint your bount be eare to use the palot that goe* tbe funbt-r Tt ad lasts ib? longest?DeVoe'n.

C., February 12th, 1910. 5 One more week and the agony will be a over so f ir as 1910 is concerned. This t week has been somewhat strenuous, both t Houses worked night and day and ac- r complisheu a great deal in tne way or re- n ducing the calendars, but I still Insist that t very little of general importance has been f accomplished, the fact is there were very o few general bills introduced, and most of o those were sent to the garve yard, pos- o sibly to be ressurected next year. r The county delegation had a meeting to p consider the tax levy, and after going t over the situation carefully it was decided t not to increase the levy as the apparent v conditions require becaue. this being land 3 returning year, we concluded, instead of c raising two mills, to put the county on a a cash basis, we would only raise the levy g one half mill and let our successors at the v next session, after finding out the amount v of the taxable real property, either In- t crease or reduce accordidglv. t The delegation received the resignation ?| of Mr. J. D. Gerald as a member of the t board of County Commissioners, Mr. t Gerald having accepted a position which fi will take him from home the greater part v of the year. We umanimously recom- lj mended to the Governor the name of Mr. a B. P. Broadway a former Commissioner, a this was done because of Mr. Broadway's I experience in county affaire, rather than t to, at this stage of the game, put on the a board. o The delegation also recommended the y present board of registration, composed of a E. D. Hodge, C. T. Ridgeway and J. t J. Epps.and we also recommended for ap- t pointment the township assessors in ac- b cordance with what was recommended to I us by the county auditor, with but two or c three changes. All of the local measures a affecting Clarendon have been completed c with but one exception and that is a bill b relating to the Manning School, but this I t am assured by the House members will a get through by the first of next week' a The gun license bill which I am oppos- 8 ing because I believe the principle is p wrong has not yet passed the Senate and 8 I still have hope of Its being killed or at ? least exempting Clarendon from its opera- a tion. The Audubon Society fish bills nave passed the Senate. I was opposed to parts c of these measures but the society had too n many friends to help them, ana it was ? useless to try to get in any amendments |] that was not approved of by those repre- j senting the Audubons, however I still jj hope the House will amend these drastic k bills so as to allow a little of the piivileges ? that people had ever 6ince the days when ? my forefathers enjoyed themselves on the t banks of the river Jordan. If the bills that a went to the House become law, at certiin ^ seasons of the year it will be practically c imnnaalhlA to huv a strincr of flsn because ? it will be against the law to sell, and if ? a man is seen by a Warden with a string D of fish, it will be evidence that he haa vio- c lated the law and he will have to prove a that he obtained the possession of the fish t lawfully. In other words a Wardan must a be convinced that the party having the t fish, caught them himself with a hook and r line, or he will be prosecuted. I think I ^ see trouble cropping out of this kind of c legislation, and the man who accepts the job of Warden will not enioy the esteem g of his fellows that I should like to have, jj and too if a Warden becomes too active it * will not surprise me at any time to read or g hear of the Reel Foot targedy being re j( enacted. I sincerely <;ope that the House * will strike out the provisions that must v naturally be obnoxious to a a free people, g There is no man in the State more opposed r to the wanton destruction of fish than I ^ am, and I have had passed through the <j 3 Senate a bill that puts on a prohibitive 11- g j cense for the sale of dynamite. I do not v, ) know whether this bill will pass the House - or not because through a misunderstand- D . ing the committee to whom it was refer- ^ . roH ronnrt^H if-, unfavorablv. but I have the f i promise of the chairman of that committee q 5 that when it is reached on the calendar j, , he will explain to the House that the re- e , report made was through a misapprehen- c > slon and he will ask the House to pass the r f bill. The House Calendar is a good sfee c - book and it will be impossible to consider D - one-half the bills, therefore I have very a . little hope of the dynamite bill getting j( . through, and I have still less hope of a bill fl > on the Senate Calendar that provides for t i the paying of witnesses in tne court of a . general sessions. This bill wbs intrbduc- v, . ed by me late at the suggestion of our c [ Clerk of Court, who has experienced a ? I grave injustice done to certain witnesses. ? , they are bound over to attend court ana * I must attend, but if they do not go on the ij stand the circuit judge cannot certify to . their being material witnesses and hence w , these bound over witnesses, forced from c , home, at more at less expense, cannot get t f pay. The bill seeks to correct this injus- c tice, but I said it was called to my atten- ? j tion late and I am afraid I cannot get it i over to the House in time for It to become 5 law. > Senator Smith of Hampton had a bill . I tn nrovide for Hicrh License for the sale t of liquor but It was killed In one, two, r three order,the time is not ripe for such 5 measures, some of the advocates of High 1' f License are about as shortsighted as are v 3 the Prohibitionists, and it is hard to con- t t vince them that South Carolina is now r 5 undergoing an experimental season. The State Dispensary was tried and proved a - most horrible night mare. Local Option j, - was tried and under it the people have 3 prohibition in all but six counties, and now 8 1 the Prohibitionists on the one hand and f' - the License people on the other g^ ve the a , conservative no end of annoyance and - trouble in constantly bobbing up with 3 their "isms." If both would let the legis- 6 3 lature alone I honestly believe a solution 1 3 of the liquor problem would be reached in x t due time which would prove patisfactory 1 to all concerned. Right now the democra- 1 r tic principle of Local Option is working t > wonders for temperance, and if our good i ; friends, the Prohibs will be patient all T i will come around right. 3 The past few days the political incuba- t i tor has hatch .d out a brood of guberna- s [ torial candidates, among them is the gen- n ?? f-nm Vorchow TrVinoo nnnniinn'i. 5 biemaii jiviouui.., H..MVUUW . i ment verifies my prediction three years 1 j ago, when I said "that John G. Richards, . the former vehement supporter of the p . State Dispensary, after being defeated in a ' his effort to hold the people of the State - to that old stench pool, would proclaim 0 f lilmself a Prohibitionist and would try to n take the lines out of the hands of the v > always Prohibitionists to drive the band J I wagon into the gubernatorial office." He I has done it, and mark, Richards will keep i > Col. Featherstoon busy this summer. I, g i at one time, thought Col. Featherstoon t f had the governor's office snugly tucked ^ r away in his vest pocket, only waiting for ^ 1 Ansel's time to expire and the r walk in, c I but my mind has undergone a g eat chage f i since talking to many gentlemen from the up-country. The light for the guberna. torial plum will resolve itself down to t i Featherstoon and Thomas G. McLeod, s - the present popular and able Lieutenant. ^ 5 Governor. McLeod is a Local Optlonlst; when he gets on the stump he will make 0 convincing speeches, he will also convince his hearers of his sincerity and earnest- q ness, and I say, after years of close as MAnlni'nn ml f It UI ?v\ f ho nnAnla r\9 SUUiablVll ? 1 Hi mm, UJ1V Ui uuutll Carolina need have no fear in putting t . Thomas G. McLeod In the excutive chair ^ I He is a bright and learned lawyer, and experienced business man, one who al- a ways interested himself in those affairs 1 that tended to aid the uplifting the inte- . " rests of the farmirg classes. In Mr. Mc-! ^ I Leod, our present junior United States, " , Senator E.D. Smith, in whose career we i i all feel so proud, had a strong advisor, not1 only after he became a candidate for the , n Senate but before, and all through the d Ime when Smith was making his fight ,11 over the South to bring the cotton armors of the South to what Justly beDnged to them. I am sure that when the eople of the State learn of the services ?. G. McLeod has rendered to the State ,nd especially to the farming intersts, hey will regard him with more favor than hey will the professional politician, who esorts to ride any, and all things for ofIce. Lieutenant Governor McLeod has ieen the presiding officer of the Senate or four years, and did he stand for that ffice again I am 6ure he would have no pposition. He conducts the duties of his ffice with firm dignity, learning and fair less, in nib iuiiK career aa a mgibiaun auu residing officer, we have yet to hear of he first adverse comment; such a man In he Governor's office Is what the people rant, and when the primary comes on IcLeod will not have to explain why he hanged fronton this, and that question,? , State Dispensaryite man when that intitutlon was popular; a Local Optionlst .'hen it was the tning, and a Prohibitionist ?hen there is a probability of working he churches for votes, no, he will not have o explain anything inconsistentin his poiticai career. I said he was a Local Oplonist by this I do not mean the return of he county dispensary, as it was, but he avors giving the people the right to say whether or not they want the legal sale of [quor under the constitutional restrictions nd to provide a means of enforcing such . system as they themselves might select. Jut aside from the pesky liquor question, he teudency of the times and the general ssembly is to be extravagant; at the head f the government there should be a man rfth a good knowledge of the law, and ,n experience in practical business, and oo, one who is In close toech and sympa hy with the masses, these qualifications are been demonstrated in Thomas G. Mcjeod time and time again, honest to the ore, broad and cultured, a student of men , student of men and affairs, always in lose touch with all that concerns the proA ilems, experience in legislation, having he confidence of the business element, nd those who are giving their time and ttention to the the upbuilding the rural chools of this countey will be especially leased to give him their most hearty upport, for with him at the head of affairs he country schools of the State ,will have , co-laborer and a friend. Thomas Q. McLeod was born in Sumter ounty, graduated at Wofford College, he low lives at Bishopville where he enjoys he high esteem of those who daily come a contact with him. He is a prominent fason and Knight but, unlike some we ;now, while he is a true and a loyal m6mer of the fraternal orders, he has a conemptfor those who have in the past used hese orders to farther their political ends, fa fflAla thA RAmfl towards tnoRfl who Arc ttempting to further their political ends y working the 8unday schools and 'the hunches, the churches jand the fraternal rdere cannot help a political cause but by >eing used by politicians these grand and oble organizations can injure their own ause which is intended to be higher than II the differences politicians can invent, feel it a pleasing duty to my readers to sk that they store away this letter in heir minds, and when the time comes emember they can make no mistake in ionorlng Tnomas G. McLeon with their onsideration. Clarendon Is to have a candidate on the Itate ticket in the primary, and of course t is to be hoped that his name will get on he election ticket, I speak of Hon. O. C. kjarborough, at present one of my colsagues. If I had only Clarendon to speak o jthrough (.theBe columns I woulp stop rtth the bare announcement that Col. O. C. icarbo rough is a candidate for Ball road Jommissioner and it would be sufficient, ut these letters are not read by Clarenlon alone. They are read all through the Itate. 0. C. Scarborough is a practical mslness man accustomed to handling irge affairs, a large and successful faraer, a man of indominate |will power and letermination, a close observer, extensive raveler, broad and liberal In his exercise >f judgment and a patriot every inch of iim. Mr. Scarborough has been pereuadd by many of the Representatives from all ?ver South Carolina to run for Railroad Commissioner and they succeeded, his onsent obtained, characteristic of the oan, he has gone ahead with his candidacy a he does with his private affairs ana saped into the arena with the flush ;of deiance on his brow that bids opposition to ake care of itself, as he ask no quarters ,nd will grant none. His campaign will >e conducted upon the only right prlnciile for success, pride, perseverance and iluck. The people of Clarendon have lonored Mr. Scarborough several times, he people of his local community have onored him time and again, and (in all of his he has proven that ne is worthy and reu quaiinea. wnac more can oe assea if mortal man, than that he be true to the rusts reposed in him. Scarborough is rogressive, honest and can always be ounted where afnan's part is to be done. Conservation of the Publio Health. The eyes of all have been turned to Cojmbia on Monday and Tuesday of this reek. On those days the conference on he Conservation of Public Health in South Carolina met. This awakening has been brought about irgely by the medical profession of the tate. People are taking more thought 3r their health and prevention of preventble diseases than ever before. Some of the subjects discussed are: The conomio Loss from Preventable Diseases; 'he need of Public Health Education; The legulation in the South of Child Life hrnnnrK mnHflrn Poaoarnh rr?Afh/v)fl AnnHprf o Education and Labor; Typhoid discusson; Tuberculosis; Responsibility of the 'hysician as seen by the Physician and by he Layman; Legal Powers and Responibilities of Health officials; Preventive ledlclne the medicine of the future; Maiiria and its Eradication. All these subjects are of vital interest to leople generally. If every man, woman, nd child In South Carolina could have the pportunity of hearing these discussions rhat a difference it would make on the ital statistics of the state. One paper in particular shows that the deas of the medical proffession an underling a change. That paper was, "Preventa,ive medicine ;the medicine of the future." 'he purpose up to this time has been to ure; The purpose now is to prevent! Many >f our most dangerous ills are preventable, lost of our ills are preventable. It belooves us to listen to those who have tudied these diseases and to follow their lirection in our daily lives and habits in rder that we may avoid them.
