ri^i 411 *ii ts - j| n <* The Abbeville Press and Bannef > i BY W. W. & W. K. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1910. , ESTABLISHED 1844 J ' ????? Picked Up on the Square. .It looks outrageous tjiat builders should bo allowed so much of our sidewalks uud streets to lumdlo Iiriek, sand, lumber and clay. Trinity street is a mess, when all 01' that excavation and clay handling should have been confined to one small spot as in cities. Citizens have some rights to the sidewalk and they should be respected luit the building material for the new stores on Main'street will soon cover the entire street, sidewalks and all. The city authorities should have required the erect ion of a covered passage way on the sidewalk. The sidewalks should ;.t least have been cleared for. church-goers. Every citizen of Abbeville should do his full part towards securing the electric xroad. 'J'his is the particular time for Abbeville to do her level best. If we get the road it will mean more than one million dollars in cash for this dear old town. A town cannot stand still; it will either ?:<> forward or backward certain. Are we ;^oing forward? I was astonished to learn that some people in Abbeville would not subscribe one cent to stock in the road and some would only take $1,001), and one firm signified their willingness to take $100 ami take it out in hauling. The three classes mentioned have made fortunes out of Abbeville people but cannot see that this givatest of all enterprises will help the town. These same people have never helpod the town and I am sure the town would be far better otT if they lived in Georgia. If the mul conies to Abbeville the few enterprising and progressive people who are always trying to do something for the upbuilding of the community will deserve k the credit and the reward which is sure to follow. Say! please let me know what has become of the new cotton mill project? 1 hope your valuable paper will advertise for this lost opportunity, and if you hear anything let me know! If the so-called promoters can't handle the proposition they should stand aside and let some genuine business men build the mill. What about our water supply? Nearly two months ago we wore asked "to boil wa tor Tor two or tnroo uavs ana everyuung would be all right. It looks like downright r egligence on the part of somebody. There is one thing certain, the water bills for the I past month should be very light. Wake up, sleeping city fathers. ( Would it not be a good idea for some one , to look alter our expensive school houses and see that they don't leak and that gut- , ters, conductors, Arc., are kept in repair? ! And please get somebody to take down ' that little so-called llag at half mast on the ' High School building. Recently I have made a careful inspec- ' tion of our splendid City Hall building and : was surprised to iind that it is being | abused and neglected. The gutters leak i and the walls are being injured. Thereof \ leaks some. In the opera house many of the seats are broken. Our good Mayor . must look after these things and correct , them. The janitor service there is not good. If that line building was in the , North it would be kept as neat as a pin. The Southern road gets as much freight ! and passenger business from Abbeville as ' the Seaboard,but they don't treat us right. The little dinky coaches we are forced to j ride in with worn out seats and burnt out lamps are an outrage, and we should not submit to it. One citizeg forc ed the com- , pany to put two lights at the depot, but ' two more are sadly needed, liefore these lights were put in it was as dark as Egypt there at night. That little station belongs at Darraughs and any other town would have had a better one long ago. Have we no Industrial League or some- : thing of the sort to help? "\V here are the young men? * ' ACTORS HEAR NEW DIXON PLAY Unusual Demonstration Fellows Author's Reading of ''The Sins of the Father." v New York, Sept. 1.?A company of play ors yesterday enjoyed the unusual experience of forming the first audience for a drama in which they will tour later. For this occasion Thomas Dixon, the \vt?H known playwright and novelist, assumed all the roles, serious and comic, of his new race problem play, "The Sins of the Father." The reading occupied two hours and a half and the denouement was marked by a long burst of applause from hearers who had followed Mr. Dixon's serious interpretations with intense interest and had laughed as heartily and joyously as any real audience at the screamingly funny scenes between the comic characters. The same afternoon the players took up t he work of rehearsal, and thev will all !? perfoet in their roles when "The Sins of the Father" opens in Norfolk, Va., St;pt. 21 ami 22. Recent engagements for tin1 company, besides those of Mrs. Charles G. Craiff and Arthur J. Pickens already mentioned, include Warren Conlan. tlx* former Shakespearian star: Ethel Wright, Robert Barton and Lydia Knott Automobile Races Atlanta. Ga., Auer. It is a lone ways to Nov. 3rd, the day of the opening of the three-day automobile race meets in Atlanta this fall, but already plans are pretty well perfected for this event. Unless a special race for Grand Prize cars is put on at the fall meeting the big event will be the City of Atlanta trophy, which was won, along with $1,000 in gold, by Louis Disbrow and his Rainer at the meeting last fall. ^Already New York's automobile row is begining to east longing eyes at the prize. Assistant Secretary J. M. Nye of the Association. who was in New a few days ago. found that a number of niakwrs had designs on that prize. One of the *iost notable contestants will be the Lozier, a wonderful performer in endurance runs and 24-hour races. Of course the llainer company will defend and it appeals likely that there will be fully 20 high class cars in the race. It is reported that both the Fiat and the Ben/, strings will be sent to Atlanta for the meet and if they, are it means the presence of such notables as Ilemery, llenriot, Robertson, Oldlield, liruce-BroWii and Heanre. It will be especially intoi'esting if Ilemery drives in Atlanta. He holds many of the world's record on the lirooklands track in England and is regarded in Europe as king of the Speedways. Grant and his Alco are regarded as sure entrants. Harry Haupt of Haupt-Kockwell Co. has promised a car. S. Kjeldsen has agreed to send the S. P. 0. stable and it is of course more than probable that the entire string of Fiats will be on the. ground. No clear idea of the Held can be secured until blanks go out but the local associa turn looks 50 to 70 cars at the JNovemoer meeting. iPercy II. Whiting.) It Nil veil Hit* life.

The first primary election came off hflp its well as over the State last Tuesday. The day opened up with such weather conditions as to give us an idea that a full vote need not be expected, and it looked like we were to have such a day as we had two years ago at the lirst primary that year live days sooner, but later, it cleared up and a vote was polled nearly equal to, if not quite, the largest vote ever polled here, with possibly one exception, that of 'Tti when we had to poll a big vote, and the IX.'ll list* h\M'liru U?

Tuesday, although a large number of people were present, an observant man who was constantly moving about among the people said that it was one of the most quiet, orderly elections that he over attended. none <>f the usual signs of dram drinking were in evidence, loud and offensive language to ears polite, of actions such alone as spring from a too free indulgence in tangle brain. The most hotly contested part of the election was for that of .Magistrate between the incumbent, Mr. J. G. lluckabee and Mr. J. II. I/ell in which the first came off victorious. Mrs. Ellen Patterson, living at Iva, was here one day last week. The was born and reared near here and made her home in this section till a few years ago.

Her build ings are of beauty rare, And churches fine are seen; Her streets are avenues through trees, "Which raise rare heads of green. The waters pure, from crystal streams, Flow for the great and small; Her climate, faultless, ranks with those Of sister cities all. She gave the world more talents rare, Than many towns beside; And counts her honored men by scores, On whom we look with pride. Historic mem'ries round her cling, And mark her sites 60 fair; For on her hills the prints are left Where each in turn appear. The buzzing of her cotton mills And other factories, tell Of life within her city gates, Where all are doing well. Her printing presses give the news, Abroad, as well as home, And stimulates each enterprise With courage, as they come. Her agricultural pursuits Hank with her sisters fair: Her market with the staple fed, | Are busy marts each year." Her merchants can compete with those Of cities far and wide, And show as fine a line a line of goods As any town beside. Professionals in every line Of wisdom here are found, And schools of learning for the youths, As year by year rolls round. A shaft of granite lifts its head, nacea by a loving Dana, To honor our immortal dead, Who for their rights did stand. Then, Abbeville, we love thy soil, Thy culture is our pride; We love thy old, historic hills, And homes where we reside. Mrs. L. E. Vose.

Editor Press and Banner: The first battle of the campaign is over anil the second battle is waging. 1 I attended several of the campaign meet- h, ings and I noticed that ail the candidates sang low on the repeal of the lien law ex- * * cept one of the aspimnts for the State To . Senate, and I noticed that he did not get o'c any cheering when he would boast of his 12t - helping to kill the lien law. The people's bel silence when the lien law was brought up gives consent that its repeal was a mis- 1 take. A great many of our common peo- ^F t pie thought if they only could get the lien acI , law repealed that the good Lord would 1 ? rain down from heaven money to them to mi i buy supplies, or would send down the sheet pa 1 to them as he did to Peter, with all of the fro t four-footed animals on it, and they would have nothing to do but slay and eat. But . ? when they wont to the merchants to make arrangements to get supplies they found " the mistake they had made?they found on then whose ox was gored. j n I > It seemed to nie that in this campaign some of our voters wanted to make the Dr< t election of officers a question of age?if a man was beginning to advance in age he ^ " could not represent the people, for he was J too old. We have many young men In Ab- Pa 1 beville county that I am proud of, but in J my way of thinking, the hero of the war cal who offered up his life for his country, and pa the hero of Seventy-Six who endured the wj i. heat of the sun by day and lay in the frost at night with nothing to cover his head ^ j from the dew that fell from the heavens and relieved this State from Bepublican ; domination ought to come before all oth- ] ere, for if it had not been for these old lie- ? ! roes, what chance would our young men ci j have todav ??not a single bit more chance |j| than the young men had in that day. So , let the people pay the debt they owe bet fore they make office a question of age. The people owe the offices to these old he1 roes, ana they ought to let them have eva ery one they can fill. The lamented Gen-lrp " eral M. W. Gary, one of the greatest Intellects of South Carolina, once said that no country on earth would ever prosper that t was untrue to its heroes. So let everybody go to the polls at the i second primary and vote on Democratic Rule, First-know you are right, and then > go ahead. A word to the wise is always f sufficient. W. C. Shaw.
