The best day's work, or rather week's **v\rlr QonnmnHchprl )?v }*? lAwar hnnco nf Congress in twenty five years was that which ended the absolute power of Speaker Cannon. ? Credit for this work is due to the demo-, J crats who stood with unbroken ranks, and ( to insurgent Republicans who setting prin-, cipleabove party united with the demo-! crats for the preservation of the lower house in a representative capacity. The Speaker heretofore has had the organization of the entire machinery of the. house, with leave to make or unmake his subordinates at will. Owing to his mem-^ bership ex-ofticio on the committee on1 rules, it was within his power to let in or keep out just such legislation as he desired. I Members, except for a few favorites who( helped hold the machine together, were, powerless, and legislation was reduced to: the will of one man. It is readily understood that this was, not only a most undesirable, but a most dangerous state of things. It practically eliminated the representation and through hiin the people. It opened the door to trust influences and corporate favoritism. Faster than any other one thing, it hastened our trend toward an oligarchy. Now let no one think that Uncle Joe is a devil, with hoofs and horns. He is simply a very firm and very pieasant old gentleman< who fully appreciated the power surrendered from time to time into his hands, and who like James the Second of England, rather than voluntarily surrender that power will be forced to abdicate. * Speaker Cannon is not solely responsible for unsatisfactory conditions in the House of Representatives. There were Czars before his day, for instance Reid. The rules of the house have been such as to tend toward the creation of Czars. But the democrats and the few republican in- ] surgents who accomplished the overthrow of one man's power in tfie house deserve ' the everlasting thanks of all our citizens. That was a fjood day's work for the people, ! and a bad day's work for corporate interests. Tried The Cotton Seed Meal. Mr. Wm. Beard being a man of an en- i quiring nature and having read about the new departure in the bread line?cotton j seed meal bread, determined to try some of it as an experiment. He secured the meal from the Oil Mill and mixed It as per directions and baked it into bread. His entire family tiled the 1 new bread. Some of them with the result that it did agree so well with them. Mr. , Beard himself says that, the bread was j very good, being something similar to the , old time crackling bread. Now if Mr, Beard has discovered a new ( way to makeerackilng bread his fortune is assured, for between ambrosia and crackling bread the angels food shows tfife weaker points, and the odds go over hTSSje * food, and dragoon to the side of the cocttl old crackling. ( Crackling bread and sweet milk! Adams menu in the garden showed no such deli- , cacy. Lamb's Bo bo and Hoti had not yet begun to burn down pig pens in order to produce that new culinary marvel?crackling. And, now, if Mr. Beard has opened up a new Avenue to that royal dish the public owes hiiu a note or thanks. Fashion Notes for 1910. False hair from 1 Lombardy peasants and Southern Europe is all the go. Hats, parasols, and paraguas are merged. It Is impossible to tell the difference between them at a distance of a furlong. Young boys turn up the hem of their trousers in order that polka dot socks may not be worn in vain. < Little girls still hx>k like carnations 1 wnn tne Biems running trie wrong way. Men will again wrap themselves In wool this summer in preference to the cheaper cotton woaves. Womens hand bags will oe much larger than their pocket books this season. No provision whatsoever has been made for the babie's styles. It is supposed that the old-regulation style will still hold good until futher notice. Little boys are to wear shoes in the summer time as a punishment "or being little boys. The hook worm, while it is much worn, has been discarded by the ultra fashionable. A few however, still cling to the old conventionality. The dresses of little girls are still cut on QVO r<? Trofn?? v/v Diiigiv IV nuivi. Boys and young men now wear the balloon pantaloon. While a great number of yards of cloth are required to make a pair, still there is some consolation in knowing that they are gradaally approaching the women in the matter of dress. As usual, anything will do an old married man, from a gunning sack up to a crazy quilt. Death of Nonagenarian. Mrs. Sarah McCord, wife of late James A*. McCord, died yesterday, at her home, in her ninety third year. She was perhaps older than any woman in Abbeville County at the time of her death. Full of years, and ripe in christian graces, she has passed from a life of good deeds to the great beyond. Her children and her grand children for generations to come have a goodly heritage in this life of simple christian faith. ; The following children of the deceased are still living: Jno. McCord, J. A. McCord, Mrs. Mary E. Nickles, Mis. W. H. Adamson, Thomas W. McCord and W. Frank McCord. H&jLrficand children and great number intu the hundreds. W. F. Nickles assistant cashier of the Peoples Bank is a grandson of the deceased. Mrs. McCord was buried yesterday at Ebenezer Church, in this County, a large gathering of friends and relatives attending: her remains to their last resting place. Base ball Friday, Abbeville vs- Greenwood In addition to the debate Friday night between membeis of the Abbeville and Greenwood High Schools, there will be a game of ball between the ball teams of these institutions. The game will le called at 3:30o'clock A rattling good game is expected. See it. High School Opening. ' Were we given to scolding people or delivering lectures to our readers through the editorial columns of our paper, we would certainly take our people to task, 'especially the mothers of our schoolchildren for not making an extra effort and attending the very interesting opening ex' .... ,? i__ i?u n,A [cruises neiti 111 me asseiuuiy mm ui mo beautiful new high school building at 10 o'clock last Monday morning. We mention the mothers especially, for we could not help seeing on yesterday that another kind of opi ning did prove most attractive to our ladies, young and old, groat and small, and extra early efforts must have been made in many a household in order that the housekeepers might go early and stay late, thronging the millinery stores from front to back during the greater partof the day. If we wished to moralize a little, this question might be pertinent, Are the things that interest the children, that tend t? uplifting them mentally, socially, morally, of less importance in tho eyes of their mothers than the lovely creations of tho milliner's art? But we are not going to lecture any one?certainly not the mothers, and let the fathers go free?for not attending the first exercises in the new building. Perhaps the children did not urge upon their parents the acceptance of the cordial invitation which the Superintendent, Mr. Dick, had sent to them by the pupils. At any rate, some mothers and fathers, some older sisters of the pupils were there, as were some others who felt interest enough in the school to give tho encouragement to the teachers and pupils which their presence certainly afforded. 'l'is not too much to say, we feel sure, that all these enjoyed the occasion and went away more interested in the work our schools are trying to do than ever before. At 10 o'clock the signal was given and the pupils marched from the different class-rooms into the assembly hall to the stirring strains of a beautiful march skilfully played on the piano by Miss Blanche Gary. After Superintendent Dick had read a selection from scripture and the school had risen and repeated the Lord's prayer in concert, America was sung by the school. Then Hon. Frank B. Gary was called on as representative of the Board of Trustees for a talk to the pupils. Mr. Gary responded, and his speech, filled as it was with lofty sentiment expressed in chaste, eloquent language, was greatly enjoyed by his hearers who could have wished it were much longer. Dr. C. C. Gambrell, one of the most active, interested members of the school board was then called on, and he made a splendid talk, short and to the point, urging the pupils to show an active, intelligent interest in beautifying and keeping the school grounds properly. This advice came most appropriately on the heels of that given by Mr. Gary as to keeping the building and furniture as they should be kept. Dr. P. B. Speed, one of the former trustees, and one who for years gave unstintLngly of his valuable time and best thought to the proper conduct and upbuilding of our schools, was present and enjoyed an occasion which, in a large measure, was rendered possible by his interest and activity4p^4te .matter of erecting a suitable Wilding^ for the higher grades of our schoqi, ~ r.' After-anther song by the school, Miss Gary played a march and the classes marched to their respective rooms, the audience having been invited by Mr. Dick to remain and be shown over the building. Ten Million Bales Years Crop. The census cotton x-eport 6hows the crop of 1909 to be 10,803,240 bale6 counting round bales as half bales and including linters, compared with 13,432,131 bales for 1908. Linters included in this report aggregate 314,597 bales which taken from the total leaves the net crop about 10,000,000 bales. Telegram to Rev. C. M. Young. llev. C. M. Young received the following telegram from his Northern Board in reference to his message notifying the board of the loss of the college and the kindness of the people of Abbeville. Itov. Henry D. Lindsay, son of Dr. Jno. 0. Lindsay, late of Due West, is a member of the Northern Board. THE TELEGRAM. Pittsburg, Penn., March 19,1910. Rev. C. M. Young, Abbeville, S. C.: Our Board is grateful to town authorities and people for sympathy and aid; express our high appreciation of their interest and kindness. Loss of building is nothing compared with loss of innocent lives. Do not be discouraged or cast down; there is still much to be thankful for and to hope for. Let school continue for such as desire to remain if you think best. E. P. Cowan, Sec'ty. Miss Gary's Recital.

I, ABBEVILLE CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO I BUILD THE MILL ! h a Men Suggested to Lead In The Matter- a ^ e To the Editor of the Press and Banner: * To one who has the welfare of this town 8 at heart, it cannot but be distressing to ,?i witness the utter indifference manifested 1 by our people at the present time as to . measures looking to the prosperity and lc advancement of the same. Some twelve months ago a movement c< was set on foot with a view to the building s! of another cotton mill, and for a little f while it looked as if it would soon be an M accomplished fact, as then* was more sub- J1 scribed to the capital stock thereof, by the [' citizens of the town, than was by them to " that of the mill which we now have. Matters progressed so far as that the man to head the enterprise, as president, was settled upon, and assurauces were ? given by more than one party who had aoheived marked success in the cotton '} mill business, men of undoubted influence 1 in financial circles, that with the amount of home capital which we had subscribed tt! as a nucleus, and with their assistance in the matter, which was promised, sufficient ; out side capital could easily be had to jl build a first class mill. But strange to say, just us we were beginning to felicitate ourselves upon the P1 bright and promising out look for the old ^ town, an unaccountable apathy took pos- P| session of those who were expected to lead r( in the matter and the enterprise seems to " hflVft flier! in the hnrninir ns fr>r mnnflic vera have heard nothing more of it. But shall P' we, Mr. Editor, on account of this dis- ?apponintment to our expectations, give up (1< and make no further effort to better our condition? ?J It would seem that this is the conclusion 1)1 to which our people have come. 11 If such be true, it will not be long until ,B we shall awake to the fact that we are not !*f only not advancing or bettering our condition, but that we are actually retrograd- " ing and that.too at a pace not to be easily checked. fK In order that our town may grow and keep pace with other surrounding towns, {u we must have additional enterprises such 11 as will afford employment to a population ,1! and such as will bring more money into 9.1 our midst, and we know of no enterprise ? so well adapted to meet these ends as that ftI of a cotton iqill. We understand that the mill which we M no v have, disburses something like $100,- y: 000 annually, in its operating expenses, of *a which, at least, 90 per cent is spent in our (" town. w Consider for a moment what an impetus j*1 would be given to every class of business, J* were we to have another such mill. "r The farmers for a radius of from five to ('( ten miles around the town would feel the |l( effects of it in the increased demand for all kinds of farm products, and a conse- n< quent Increase in the value of their farms. ^ The clerks in our stores would be bene- a' fited thereby, as the business of their em- ^ ployers being so much improved, they A could afford to pay them better salaries. }v The merchant who now pays an average n! clerk forty dollars per month could better ;v afford to pay such clerks forty five or J' ; fifty dollars a month with the advent of D another mill. i? "With another mill of the size of the one ' ' we now have, there would come an addi1 tion to the population of the town of from rj seven hundred and fifty to one thousand w persons. It would be hard to estimate the benefits which would result to merchants, physicians, dentists, butchers and every other class of business men, such an addition to our population would bring about. E It does seem to me that every individ- j! ? ual of the above enumerated classes even if| he viewed the matter solely from a i J selfish stand point, could not fail to see that it would be decidedly to his interest to -help along such an enterprise by taking stock therein to the utmost of Ihis ability, z. And this I believe he would do' were the !: matter properly presented to him. But wnat we need and muiit have in or- " der to succeed in an undertaking of this p kind, is some one or more of our most ^ prominent citizens of recognized business , capacity, of public spirit, and who have ishown their interest in the' town by what ? they have done in the past toward building it up, to take hold of this matter. The question then is. To whom can we turn in this our hour of necessity? Who is it that can fill the bill? j., Tr> mv mind t.h? m?n for thA ftmfircfino.v are Mr. G. A. Visanski and Mr. Hugh Wlfs?n. * There are no two men in the place who . , have done half so much in the interest of the town as have these two, and I believe they are still willing to spend and be spent in furthering the good work. It is tothem.togetner with the late W. r) H. Parker, B. S.Barnwell and Jno. A. Harris, that we are largely if not entirely indebted for the splendid cotton mill which p we now have! t] There was a time during the construction of that mill when, if these men had n. not come to the rescue by giving their in- 7, dividual notes to raise money to satisfy ? certain importunate creditors, the enter- J: piise would have fallen through. " Of these five only Messrs Yisanski and Wilson are with us, the others having all "passed over the river". Therefore in behalf of the citizens of this town I call upon these two men to lay ? aside their modesty, avail themselves of j* the !experience which they have in the building of the mill we now have, and set ? the ball in motion, looking to the building P of another mill. f: Gentlemen! will you not heed this call? V Aside from the benefits which would assurdly accure to each of you in the en- ^ lianced value of the real estate in the town ** of which you are both large owners what ? greater unction could you desire to apply w to your souls in your declining years, than to be able to point to two magnificent * cotton mills, with their hundreds of humming spindles and say !'these are my jewels" I was largely instrumental In building them.

I pg Considerable interest was aroused in i his county a year ago over the myster-. Due disappearance of the wife of Mr. ohn Edmunds, a brother of Mrs. B. F. | 1 Ickellar, Jr., of Greenwood. Mr. Edmunds ln ttne time was a railroad employee manng his home at Slidell, Ala. He returned 1 ome late one night, having been detained this work, and found his wife absent \ onecf his childien'knew of her going away nd for about a year the family were in ntire ignorance of her whereabouts. | r| A letter was received here by Mrs. Ale- yfc, ellar recently.rjm a member of the family iving the history of the peculiar disapp-1 1 arance and detention of Mrs. Edmunds.: 'lie letter says: 1?^ ,'Kate says she went out in the lot to pa >ck the hen-house door, after she got the ?ei hildren off to bed. It was very wet and ?U1 old, so she put on her rubbers and put J-ra umething on her head and threw an old ?n 1 loak around her as it was a little distance ?- & om the house. She locked the door and as ?n lie turned to go in, she saw a shadow In j 2 ont of her. Suddenly a man caught her!**! y her shoulder and before she could move! 1 uother man had hold of heron the other ?"J de and threw a long heavy oloak over her, he screamed once and they told her to' J lut up if she wanted to live. Then she says da' ae would have dropped right there if they j 80' adn't held her up. They walked a short istance and in the woods was a wagon in I hich they placed her. When she came t? f" erself, she was in a launch on the water,1 irapped to the bench hand and foot. They j aveied two nights and one day, the cur- re^ lins of the boat all fastened down so that I . * oone could see what was inside. TheyjAtl mded the second night, untied her and! ^r ut her in an auto, there were three people aside herself. They rode quite a while and tilled up to an old bouse entirely sur- , >unded by trees, covered with moss, the lost desolate looking place on earth as far 1 lD8 5 she could see. They carried her upstairfe it her in a room with one chair and a1 cjt; imfortable bed. The room had two win-[Mil >ws, but she could see nothing but woods I, ^ irerywhere she looked. There she spent i jif' 1 this time until the last day of Decerner, when they bought her a ticket to Blr- J) tingham. At night they walked about a i ile and got on a boat, traveled all night, yi8: jached New Orleans about day brek, put ?> sr off and turned and left her standing ih *?' ie street near the depot. Ma "She wrote that letter John received J >on after her capture and this same mata ^ ho dictated It and an old negro womaB, id the woman who belonged to the gang slped her to escape. Tills last woman also ? id a ticket to Birmlngh. m, so they got i the train at New Orleans together. Mr ut the woman said they had better sep- as. ate so she left Kate arid went to somfe a her part of the train. Wiaen they reached ?OE Mobile, Kate got off and went back to New rleans because she wanted to be near her SL ,mily she thought they were still at Slidill and she thought too, maby these folks Ml1 ere sending her into another tralp. She Pr? nally concluded to writo to her sister Ih ? * irmingham, since she could not hear ?rl om Slidell, and sho had only a few "er hilars and no clothes. She wrote and they snt her money on the next train, and told L jr to come on there at once, but she did |8pe ?t know they had her children up there w<? i I said before she thought they were still .? ; at Slidell and this man had told her sev-al times to keep awav from that place. fter remaining In New Orleans threfe eeks she found out that her mother had 3r children, so she went to Birmingham ; once. She says during this awful year, ie was most kindly treated. She had two id spells of sickness while there and these i 3gro women and this same man who, by , ie way, had studied medicine In Paris ere just as kind and attentive to her as ley could be and she had everything she Co anted to cat, cooked any way she chose."
