'j Wfdnesday, Jan 24,1912 jj Good for the Post Office De- '[ partment. Thf> effldenov of the U. S. Post Office de- 8 partment is again in evidence. The an-|l nual report of the Chief Inspector is a rev- t elation. |1 The promoters of fraudulent schemes,,c unscrupulous rapscallions who have used j1 the mails to feed on the unsuspecting pub-1 , lie have suffered as they ought to suffer. ji During the year just past these uncen- (' scionable leeches bled the American pub- (* lie for the sum of seventy-seven million 1 dollars. - It is a sweet thought to "Old,4 Brother Peeple" that out of 196 of theso,1 human ticks tried 184 were convicted. I There is now many a scheme being pro- j{ moted through the U. S. mails which is on I the ragged edge of rascality. | ^ This scribe was bled by a New York,* leech to the tune of $2.00 for books adver- 1 tised by a New York houso. With the ( "ad* came a dummy of the book describ- 1 ing the binding, quality of paper, lilustra- 1 tions, etc. The books of which titles were 1 given were the kind usually sold for from 15 cants to 25 cents. They were offered at 1 2 cents each. Not less than one hundred sold to any man. We might have known that we could not get something for noth ing, but we were still gulbble and sent a chet k for $2.00 which we have not seen since?nor have we seen the books. There are still many fake propositions afloat and it is up to the citizen to keep his weather eye open at all times. Quite a number of monumental fakes and gigantic swindles come to us through the patent medicine route. For this rea son this paper is careful to look into such propositions before It takes an "ad." Only recently three or four companies have had issued against thom fraud or ders and have been refused the use of the * . mails to further the golden harvest from the pockets of "Old Brother Peeple." During the year 2491 arrests were made of which 429 were burglars. Of this num ber arrested 112 were postmasters, 28 as sistant postmasters, 98 clerks in post of fices, 31 railway clerks, 42 city letter car riers, 38 rural letter carriers, 16 mall car riers and 14 other employees, and 2112 per sons not connected with the service. Ti^re are many men whu do not care to ] work for an honest livinsr who are con- < stantly ransacking their brain for schems to get money in the wrong way. It is fcell that the department is after them. May it succeed in trapping the last one. We are funny folk. We think there is great good in the scheme that hails "from off yonder." The medico with a nostrum in kalamazoo appeals to us, while the fel low in Kalamazoo thinks that the quack with a nostrum 2000 miles away is the one for him to follow. There is only one safe and sane way of doing business and that is to do business with your own people at home. Consult your own doctor; buy your own goods * from your own grocer, your clothes from your own tailor, and buy nothing from a man whom you do not know. The Committee of One Hun dred. In pursuance of announcement made from the pulpits on last Sunday a commit tee of ten men from -each church met in ] the Sunday School room of the Baptist 1 church to begin organization of Forward 1 Movement of Men and Religion. i The executive committee was appointed \ consisting of: Chairman, Mr. A. B. Morse; i Vice-chairman, Mr. Foster Barnwell; Se- < cretary, Dr. C. A. Milford; Treasurer, Mr. J. R. Devlin; Executive Secretary, Mr. J. 1 M. Gambrell. i This committee meets on Thursday ] night next to nominate the remaining i committees. ] Talks were made by Rev. E. B. Kennedy i Rev. Louis Bristow and Rev. Mr. Pratt ex- < plaining the purpose of the movement. As we understand the purpose of the move- < ment is to take a religious census of the i city to instill activity in to church member- | ship and to establish cordial relations be- j tween the various denomination and to j strengthen Christian unity. The committee to be appointed will not 1 last longer than March, but the purpose is ' to set going an influence which will con tinue on an on. ^ Februarv 13th and 14th is the tim? for < the meeting of experts in Charleston. A ] delegation will probably be sent from Ab- \ beville to this meeting to gather informa- 1 tion and learn in detail of the work. A Faithful Servant. Uncle Sam has on his pay roll at Abbe ville a mail carrier who deserves especial mention, honorable mention as the profes sors call it. During the recent storm which passed over the country Mr. Tilden Lomax who rides one of the routes out of this city had made his rounds and that with much difficulty and had put up his horse for the night. On going around to the post office he discovered that there was a letter, with a special delivery stamp on it, directed to one of the patrons of his route who lived about five miles out of town. The weather was at its worst, nevertheless out into the snow Mr. Lomax took the letter and delivered it in the night. This was when the average man would not leave ills red hot ingle to receive pay ment on an unsecured year before last note of a bankrupt. If Uncle Sam has any medals, or honora ble mention to hand out to his boys Mr. Lomax should certainly receive one. He deserves it. Suicide in Greenwood. Mr. M. F. Sanders committed suicide at Greenwood last Monday afternoon by shooting himself through the head with i a revolver. 1 Before committing the deed he sent a note to his friend, Mr. J. B. Haltiwanger, - directing him where to look for his body. ? Mr. Haltiwanger in company with four ui/iici men lLuuieuiawjiy repmreu 10 w place designated and found the body par tially submerged in water, and in his coat lying at the edge of the pool of water was found an envelope upon which the de ceased had written a few lines, taking upon himself the responsibility of the deed. Mr. Sanders was formerly in the mer cantile busines3, and recently failed, and it is thought that his financial and other tioubles, so preyed upon his mind that he gave way to despondency and sought relief by suicide. Open Door iil CHlneL The fall of the Mancbil Dynasty has' een a foregone conclusion for some nonths. Contact with the western world, ,nd especially with the United States, has opened the eyes of the sleeping giant. It is also evident that if there Is no for ign interference a republic will be set up. "his, too, is due to the influence of educat d Chinamen who have served their coun ry In one capacity or another In the Unit d States; have become familiar with her nstitutions and have carried their Ideas >ack home. There is no country on earth which has is many provincialisms and even superstl lons as China. As in the case of Japan, hese will vanish under reformed govern nent. The wonder is that modern ideas ./miIH Koro fnnnH onnh o frvrvHnrr oe fn molro eforms possible. As the United States more than any oth sr country is responsible for political re orm in China, so will she be the chief ben sliclary of that reform, in a commercial ffay. The Panama canal will be open to sommerce about the time the new govern nent gets well under way, and China will )e more accessible to this country than to tny other. Reform in China means the "open door." it means that millions of dollars of for sign money wili be spent to build a net work of ruiirc^fi which will carry articles >f commerce to every province It means in increased demand for cotton, tnat will nake the staple take and maintain a new ligh level not heretofore thought possible, rhe unhampered trade Df four hundred nilllon people opened up to the world will lecessarlly stimulate trade as never be fore. What is true of China will be true )f all the secluded sections of Asia. China s only the forerunner?the awakening is really of all Asia. Never has there been a time when man jfacturers of the United States should be uore alert. Instead of trying to badge ibout the trade of this country by tariff R-alls, manufacturers, through agencies, jhould be represented in China as soon as conditions are settled. Friendly relations should be established with her people, rhe United States will have the advantage n freight rates; she has the advantage in manufacturing, since raw material ia at ;he very doors of the factories. All that 8 needed is a little of the push and energy ?f the American drummer, and manufac turers would do well to begin educating these in the Chinese language and cus toms, by sending them there as soon as the new government Is established. At the Baptist Church. A large assembly of worshippers was present at the Baptist Church last Sunday morning. The services were most effec tively conducted. The organ music was skillfully rendered by that accomplished musician, Miss Beacham. The solos were kir VI iao Cforl- ttKa la V?V DCftH-. \JJ mioo uioia, nuvioivvugwiKvu v?v?j body as a most charming singer. Mr. Mo David sang tenor. The congregation join ad in singing the hymns in a manner that was most delightful. Especially was the hymn, "If I had ten thousand hearts I would give them all to thee," sung with unction and religious fervor. Mr. Bristow led in prayer, whose petition met with a responsive echo In every heart, rhe sermon was reverential from start to Einish. During its delivery we felt that if these earnest and reverential services were jontinued, the divine Buler would not fail l.o bless this church and this people, and ;he splendid new church will be a thing of aeauty and a joy forever. % Split Log Drag. The City Council under the direction of Mr. Joe Johnson is doing some very effec tive work on the streets with the "split log drag." The work is a splendid de monstration of the quickness with which the roads can be gone over and the splen lid condition in which they are left by the drag. The "split log drag" is a very simple de vice, consisting of two pieces of oak timber about ten by twelve inches and eight feet long, securely bolted together by about six Inch bolts. The two plcces of timber are axed about two feet apart and have each m old scraper blade bolted to the lower Bdges. Tha Hovi/?A (ylrofi h^Qf rocnlfc nrhart s?*?orr aver the roads shortly after a rain. There 3nould be considerable moisture in the ground. It drags down the ridges and Ills the ruts as smooth and pretty as the more enpensive scrape. One hand with two good mules can work a mile of bad road a day with the "split log drag" and leave It flawless. It is stated that Supervisor Stevenson will put on five or six "split log drags" at 5nce, sending them out with flying squad rons. A little timely work of this kind will save months of harder work latter. We are converted to the "split log drag." Miss Nellie Hughes Marries. Miss Nollie Hughes, formerly a printer n the Press and Banner and ono of the jest of the many good lady printers who lave in time worked in the office, was mar ried on last Sunday to Mr. Theodore White. The marriage ceremony took place n the new Baptist Church. This was the Irst marriage solemnized in the new ;hurch. Miss Hughes is a most estimable youDg ady. The Press and Banner, from first to ast, has employed perhaps fifty girls as jompositors, and about ninety per cent, of ;hese have gotten married. Three or four ivere married from tho office in a single (rear. As to Seaboard Shops. Speaking of reports there is one current n Abbeville, on very good authority, that ill the talk of the shops being carried iway from Abbeville is mere bosh. As far is can be learned no such plans have been jiven out by the Seaboard management. New Warehouse. There is a proposition on foot to build a lew warehouse in Abbeville. Somothing ike twelve thousand dollars have been .ubscribed. The location is to be on the Seaboard railroad. Mr. J. Moore Mar's bill against the knitheastern Tariff Association is being ought to the last ditch. Lawyers from )harleston and other places are looking Iter the interests of the Insurance com lanies.

Pretty lose. / STm AND IKOtt MA* (fHfl KNIFE Democratic Tariff Revision Bill Made Public Washington, Jan. 22.?Reductiohs of from 30 to 50 per cent, on all items in the iron and steel tariff and the placing on the tariff free list of iron ore, sewing machines, printing machinery, cash registers, nails and many other articles against which a tariff is now levied, are proposed in the Democratic steel revision tariff bill, made public today. 0. W. Underwood, Democratic lead er, estimated the bill would reduce the average tariff on steel imports from 34.51 per cent, to 22.42 ad valorem: would reduce the govern ment tariff revenues from steel pro ducts by $823,597 from 1911 and by $4,000,000 from 1910. Imports of steel products, he said, would be in creased by nearly $20,000,000. Up to Caucus The bill was completed by the Dem ocratic members of the ways and means committee on Saturday. After being submitted to the full committee the bill will be laid before the Dem ocratic caucus tomorrow afternoon. If approved by the caucus, it will be formally introduced in the house Wednesday. Sweeping reductions are made in all of the important items of the iron and steel tariff. Among articles now duitable under the Payne-Aldrich bill, which would be placed on the free list, are the following: Iron ore, existing duty 5.29 per cent hoop and band iron and steel 16 per cent; barbed wire and wire fencing 7.77 per cent; nails 17.67 per cent; horse shoes 21 per cent; Tungs ten ore 10 per cent; zinc ore 36.57 per cent; cash registers, linotype ma chines and typewriters 30 per cent Polished Products The reductions made on the finished steel and iron products ranged in many cases as great as 50 per cent. The figures given out by the com mittee to accompany the bill show that this will make a corresponding re duction in tariff revenue from these sources. The rates of duty under to exist ing Payne-Aldrich tariff law have been reduced to the equivalent of ad valorem duty by the committee. Us ing the ad valorem equivalent as a basis, the important reductions pro posed by the Democratic bill are as follows: - Pig iorn from 15.66 to 8 per cent; scrap iron from 8.72 to 8 per cent; , ferro-maganese ore 15 to 6.52 per i cent; chromo metals 20.69 to 15 per cent; bar iron and steel 13.80 to 10 per cent. \ \ Don't forget to attend the Pyrin ml to Exhibition to bo given by u represen tative from the DuI*o<it factory ou the farm of Mr. J.

It is the policy of the ladies of the Civic League in financing their club to give tvo entertainments a year, and to give only high class attractions. This plan has met with favor as it is not so exhausting to the friends who patronize them. The first en tertainment for 1912 will be the famous Kilties Band of Canada. The band is composed of forty native born Scotchmen, all celebrated musicians. Two performances will be Riven to the club, a matinee Tuesday afternoon and dress performance Tuesday evening. The school children will be given admission to the matinee for 25 cents. Tickets for 50c, 75c and $1. The celebrated male choir will sing at each performance, and weo Jamie Clark will give an exhibition of the fascinating Scotch dances. ' This is an opportunity to help the Civic Club and to get your money's worth in a clean, wholesome attraction that will pro bably never be here again. meea some wirei ne iiuyc every thing in Poultry Wire, Farm Fence and will make yon low prices on what yon want Dargan-King Co.

The globe trotters received great ova tions in every country visited and while in England they had the distinguished honor ol appearing twice before H. M. the King by Koyal Command. Mr. Joe Wilson in Town. Mr. Joe Wilson, who is traveling engi neer in the Bervice of the Seaboard road, and who is now located in Florida is' in Abl?eville for a short visit. Mr. Wilson would like to return to Abbe ville. but his services are so valuable to the road that they can not let him go. Mrs. Wilson will return with him to re maiii for a few months. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are both deserved ly popular in Abbeville. It is hoped they may ?oon take up permauent residence here again. Good Plumber.

The drug store where the strange liquid has been demonstrated is be sieged with health-seekers from morning til lnight and many inter esting stories are being told by per sons, who, having used the new treat ment uccessfully, brought In some sick friend or acquaintance to obtain a ouyyij. Among the many recent callers who related their strange experiences with the new treatment was Mr. Oli ver W. De Weire, who has lived at 840 Bank street, Atlanta, twenty-two years and who for sixteen years has been employed as blacksmith in the Southern railroad round house. Mr. De Weire said he had beeg afflicted with stomach trouble tyr about four years and that five doctors and many different medicines had failed to ef fect a cure. In speaking of his strange case he said: "I sometimes would have no desire to eat at all. My di gestion was poor and frequently I would suffer intensely with pain in my stomach. Gas would form in my stomach and cause belching. I had dull, heavy headaches and was very nervous,' irritable and worrysome. At night I could not sleep. I was weak and felt all run down. I have now been using the new Root Juice treat ment for about three weeks and feel like a new man. I have gained six pounds in weight and can eat almost anything. I sleep fine, too, and get up feeling rested. This medicine has certainly fixed me up in fine shape." Another startling account was given by a man who said he had come from Marietta. He gave his name as James D. Rupp, his address as 324 Hoovel street, and was very enthusiastic over the results in his case. "I have been a sufferer from stomach, liver and kidney trouble for seven years," he said. "My food positively would aot digest and I was in constant mis-1 ery. I tried one remedy aft^r another without relief. I heard so much; about this new Root Juise treatment that I procured a bottle and began using it. To my great surprise be fore I had finished it I found my stomach, liver and kidney trouble fast disappearing. Now I can eat heartily and I sleep well. In fact, I feel better every way." Other well-known Atlanta people who report equally phenomenal re sults are Mr. R.

One of the most startling cures that has yet been brought to light is that of Mrs. E.G.Moore, a prominent and well-known lady who has issued a signed statement giving the facts in her case. In her statement Mrs. Moore says, "I almost believe Root Juice to be a gift from Heaven, for I have . suffered seven years with chronic stomach and kidney trouble and it has entirely cured me. When ever I would eat meat or potatoes, gas would form In my stomach and this would press upon my heart so heavily at times that I thought I would smother. I had dull heavy headaches and pains across mq back My hands and feet were always cold and when getting up in the morning I would feel so dizzy I could not see. I was an invalid for four years and although twelve doctors treated me I was not apparently benefitted. At times I was too weak to feed myself and when I started taking Root Juice I weighed only ninety-eight pounds. Within a week after taking my first dose I found I could eat anything I cared to without the slightest dis comfort and that I was gaining rap idly in weight After I took several bottles of the medicine I was able to do my own housework and have not been troubled since in any way." The case of Mrs. J. Schondell is an other example of the wonderful re sults that the medicine is accomplish ing for sick people. Mrs. Schondell suffered for years with rheumatism which became so severe that she was unable to move. The story of her strange and remarkable recovery is best told in her own words, and the following is quoted from a signed statement which she has issued for publication: "I suffered for years with a. severe attack of Rheumatism. After trying numerous doctors without 'success I made up my mind to see wh^t the Root Juice medicine would do for me Before taking the medicine I was un able to move and had to be carried from one place to another, but when I had taken only two bottles I was able to walk without assistance and can now take care of my household duties. Root Juice saved my life." The effect of the Root Juice upon onffflrlnO' flfnmQph ffAII- I pel OUUO OUU^IlUg It ViU 0VVAUMVU, ? WW ble is almost Incredible. The appe tite increases with the first few doses and it is not 'uncommon to hear peo ple say, "I had not enjoyed a square meal for years before I tried it." One old lady who could scarcely eat enough to keep her alive and who suffered tortures from stomach trou ble, says she can eat anything and never suffer any more. Cases of kidney ami bladder trou ble, too, in which the sufferers com plained of backache, soreness in the back, dark specks seeming to float before the eyes, painful and frequent urination .puffiness under the eyes yielded very quickly and'many com plete cures reported. It is said to relieve almost any trouble of the stomach, liver kid neys or bowels and it claimed that its soothing, healing, tonic action on the digestive and secretory ogans is so rapid that even some of the worst cases of indigestion, constipation, and nervousness, kidney trouble and rheumatism ar eperceptibly benefit ted from the very start. Perhaps the best thing about it all is that the great discoverey can be made very economically and conse quently the poor can take advantage of its wonderful health-giving power, as well as the rich. Large bottles holding nearly a pint are being sold for only one dollar. Can be Had Here Local druggists say they are mak ing an effort to procure a supply of the new medicine for the benefit of home people who are seeking a speedy cure and It Is expected that a shipment will be here In a few days.
