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.

company, besides those of Mrs. Charles G.
Craiff and Arthur J. Pickens already
mentioned, include Warren Conlan. tlx*

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.

Editor Press and Jianncr:
l>ofore voting for iJlease for Governor
those who intend to do so should stop and
consider well what manner ol' man IJlease
is.
What lias ho ever done that entitles him
to the favorable consideration of tiie people
for the high office of Governor? lie is
a lawyer of fair ability only. The same
interests are kicking him now that backed
the candidacy of P.. JJ. Evans, and if
Blnase should l>o oloetcd, tho Governor's
office and the Executive .Mansion in Columbia
will be headquarters for liquor
thieves and grafters. The people should
recall that a few years ago please was the
author of a resolution creating a commission
to investigate the disjpnsary, and
everyone knows that it wfSfcnicant for
whitewashing purposes. It difwiot whitewash,
t hough. IJlease had mlthing to do
with the committee, but Senator Hay was
made chairman. The proof developed tho
fact that lilease was the paid attorney of
the Lanlian liquor linn.
Blease is bent on restoring the sale of
liquor in South Carolina and Featherstone
is against it. Fcatherstone is a clean, selfmade,
deserving man.

jxercises will begin today week.
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

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

contested part of the election was for that

J. G. lluckabee and Mr. J. II. I/ell in which
the first came off victorious.

In the Piedmont belt, among the hills,
A little city lies:
Her funic surpassing many towns
Of a much larger size.
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.

stainless soul of our loved one passed out
on eternity's boundless sea, leaving hearts

and eleven days old. The Heavenly
Father plucked this beautiful bud and has
transplanted it to open perfectly in the

O Heavenlv Father comfort the hearts

and who are crushed by this great sorrow.

Letter from Capt. Shaw. ?
Lowndesville, S. C., Sept. 3,1910.
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. S
