C. *#-Pabllahed every Wednesday at t2 T sarin advance. Wednesday, March 20,1912 A Correction. Through a mistake of facts It was re ported in the Press and Banner of last week that a negro convict who had been struck by a guard, bad died In Jail here. The facts are these: jBpurgeon Leslie, a lifetime convict, watching for an oppor tunity to make a break for liberty, thought the time had arrived a short time ago, as the county wagon was standing in front of Bowen A Johnson's stables. He ran away, and the guard seeing it, at once arrested him, and to do it he had to bring him to his senses with the gun barrel. The ne gro was not seriously hurt He was at work the next day as usual. Another neirro from Calhoun Falls was in for 90 days, and died Saturday the 9th? and not the negro who tried to make an escape. " < The foUovrlug certificates we are request to publish: March 16,1913. < It has been erroneously reported that a convict named Spurgeon Leslie, a life termer, bad been struck and killed by a guard. This is a mistake. Leslie is now 1 working on the road In good health. The convict who died Sunday morning was serving a 30 day sentence, and died suddenly of heart disease. W. D. Simpson, M. v. < March 16,1919. This Is to certify that I attended 8pur geon Leslie on March 4.1912, and found ; him with a small cut on the upper lip. He did not lose any time from worz, as I saw him on the road the next day. Spurgeon was hit by a guard when he tried to escape , after getting off wagon in front of Bowen & Johnson's stable just about dark. C. C. Gambreli, M. D. Death of Clayton Ferguson. Clayton Ferguson, aged IS years, eldest son of W. D. Ferguson died at his father's home on Upper Main Street, this city, Sat urday. March 16,1913. All his life be had borne affliction, hav ing suffered from something like Infant paralysis in babyhood.

Able Speeches were Delivered to Small Audience*. Watson and E, W. Dabbe, President of the State Farmery Union addressed the meeting in the Court House last Weanee aay. For the last thirty years various officers or would-be-offlcers have addressed the farmers more or less during the campaign years. From the first and up to this time, speakers have thrown very little light on this subject, and up to this time politics has not sufficiently warmed up to induce farmers to wade through the m\jd to be further instructed. A little later on farmers may oome out to be told how they should farm?and may have Jthe fooling of farmers heretofore been quite an effectual way for politicians to get into but it is a little early for men who fpedi.and olothe the world to be aroused to political Interests of individuals. The idea that anybody or any combina tion of men,can]flx the price of cotton next fall is so preposterous or foolish that we are surprised to hear of any farmer being fooled during election years. It seems to us that nearly every farmer in Abbeville ' AnAnfvVi /> farnnnr uuuuvy UUB tuiciuyuuw guvu^u w ^v.. that success In any true business depends upon Individual effort properly directed. Concentration of individual effort is far more Z effective than standing together, shoulder to (shoulder." s Instead ;of lis. tenlng to offloe, seeking politicians, every farmer in Abbeville count]/ should sub scribe for the "Progressive Farmer,,? pub lication which is issued weekly from Bal eigh. N. a $ . The meeting In the Goapt House last Wednesday was rather {mall, -janglng from first to last from thirty to forty bearers. Among the prominent'or dis tinguished farmers who drpmk the wisdom *s it fell.from the lips of able orators we noticed: Dr.J.W. Keller. Cloero Hughes. Hr. Tusten. Hugh Wilson. < D. 8. Dallenger. James Wllaon. i. The aboved named gentlemen were able to appreciate the work; of the orators, while their well known position as agricul turists made them proper persons to or ganize the "Farmers Advisory Committee. The large cotton r&lseni of th? county were notable because oZ?heir atyypnce. in speaking of the audlendfe one man stated that be believed there vraa not frn eight bale farmer present That vu merely his opinion, but It Is oertaln that many prosperous farmers were not here. It looked a little dreary when .the time came for organizing a new uplon club. The advisory committee, we believe, with drew from the meettng^^fhe county offi cers had business dowi0gB$^fiwn loaf ers were satisfied with (He fend; of infor mation that they had absorbed and left the court room. By this clme the meeting, which ranged by actual count from 84 to -4D was very much reduced before it was ready to or ganize, the number present was distres sing small, exoept as to offloe seekers, among the people who clothe and feed the irorid.

Nlckles has do faith In the ftKlllfv nf anvtwlv fn AAnfml fha nrlnft nf cotton next ft^l. He didnt say that he would sue Senator Smith for fooling him into saving his cotton for a high price, when he was forced to sell for a lower price. When asked if he intended to sue Senator Smith for the losses which he sus tained by the Senator's assyranoe of high er price, when he actually h?d to take a lower price, ho shook his head and eald something like this: "If I should get judgement against him, I am not sure that I could get the money. I don't need any more of his advice on the price of cotton." ;; Pleasant Gall. The Press ukl Banner had a pleasant visit*. ;last Wednesday from Mr. ,E. W.

Says That His Going is Due to Curtailment of His Power for Good and to Retention in Office of His Detrac tor*?Will Con tinue Fight. t Washington, March 15.?Dr. Harvey W. Wiley left the laboratories of the bureau of chemistry tonight?where for nearly 29 ? L * aM**# nKorttlaf?nn lone yets re no utvu incu uuci ?? er a government official, but determined to champion the cause of pure food from the ranks of the people. Friction with his superiors and irrecon cillable differences of opinion as to the en forcement of the pure food and drug act were the reasons given by Dr. Wiley for handing in his resignation to Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture. Dr. Wiley will devote the remainder of his life, according to a statement issued by him today, to the "promotion of the principles of civic righteusness and Indus trial integrity which underlie the food and drugs act, iu the hope that it may be ad ministered in the interest of the people at large Instead of that of a comparatively few manufacturers and dealers." TAFT REG BETS IT. President Taft expressed regret at the resignation. Secretary Wilson said Dr Wiley had been "a valuable man." Dr. Wiley in his statement thanked Mr. Wil son for the personal kindness and regard shown him," and likewise expressed his gratitude to President Taft,for exonorating him last Bummer in connection with al leged irregularities in employing Dr. H. H. Rugby ;of New York. Dr. Wiley re marks, however, that though he was con tinued, in his position after* that incident, he naturally expected,that "those who had made false charges" would be dismissed. Dr. Wiley speaks In ills statement 01 the "Interests" which'were found by him to be engaged In the manufacture of mis branded and adulterated foods and drugs. HIS POWER CURBED. ' One by one," says Dr. Wiley, "I found that'the activities pertaining to the bu reau of chemistry were restricted and va rious forms of manipulated food products were .withdrawn from its consideration and referred either to other bodies not contemplated by the law or directly re lieved from further control. "The official toleration and validation of such practices have restricted the activl ties of the bureau of chemistry to a very narrow field, as a result of which he was exonorated last summer were not dis missed, he says: EXPECTED SOKE REDRESS. "I uaturally expected that those who bad made these false charges against me would no'ionger be continued in a position which would make a repetition or sucn ac tion possible. The event, however, has not sustained my expectations in this mat ter. I was still left to come In dally con tact with the men who secretly planned my destruction." Dr. Wiley explained that while he did not determine to leave the government service until two days ago for nearly six years there had been a growing feeling in his mind "that the differences between his superiors and himself were irreconclable,' and that he had; been "conscious of an official environment which was essentially Inhospitable." Dr. Wiley has not yet decided whether he will continue his light for pure foods through the lecture field or as a writer, or editor of household magazines. Until his successor is chosen, Dr. R. E. Doollttle will act as chief of the bureau of chemistry. Union Meeting.

Before an audience of from six to seven hundred people, the University of South Carolina Glee Glub gave a very entertain ing and Interesting program last night at the Hibernian Hall. Good reports had preceded the college boys to this city but tiiaii. nartnrmwiffi last nicrht was a sur VllVtl |/v? ?- 0 prise even to the Club's fondest admirers. The Glee Club is well balanced in every particular. Probably its best work was exhibited in ithe numbers by the double quartette, Iwhich received lnsistant de mands for encores. The work of the Uni versity bassos was at all times uniformly fine. Especially clever was the singing of Mr. M. C. Lumpkin, the star second tenor of the organization. The iirst half of the program consisted of a number of medleys and quartette numbers all of which were well received, etc. One of the most unique musical numbers now on the stage is the "Campbell Kids," performed by 10 young ladles with the fa mous "Buster Brown" Company.
