Wednesday, May 15,1912 One booster if worth a thousand knockers. The day of the "sweet" girl grad uate draweth nigh. And next the chiggers will be get ting in their deadly work. Altogether for Abbeville?the best town in the country ! What has become of the Board of Trade ? Don't all speak at once. "What shall.we do with our ex presidents?" asks an exchange. Gag 'em. Another mill for Abbeville. Let's have it. Who will take the initia tive? You may think the Ananias club has a large membership, but just wait until after the August primary. Those Spartanburg people who built a church in one day displayed a spirit which will make any town great. The Rock Hill Herald says Abbe ville should be proud to have enter tained the Federation of Women's Clubs. 'Deed she was, In these days of high living cost it *Afi?/ujhinry fA L-nnur tViQf fho Half JO ICll^OUIilg VV niiVfr VKMW ??v ? cent piece will satisfy a great many children as well as a penny. The contract for the death chair has been let and it will soon be in stalled. The surprising thing is that this step has been so long delayed. At last accounts the blackberry crop was keeping pace with the crop of candidates, which, when you come to think about it, is growing some. As a concrete example of unappre ciativeness commend us to the Mis souri community which permits its only editor to wear a hat 42 years old. The "winter of our discontent is turned to smiling summer" since we have seen the positive announcement that Cansler of Tirzah has his hat in the ring for keeps. People near Hagood, in Sumter County, have been seeing a strange animal wandering about the woods and fields. Must have been that "houn' dawg," hiding from the kickin' ? Our weekly advice to Congress: Pass immediately an appropriation to enlarge the Federal prisons to ac commodate the "malefactors of great wealth" whom Teddy I will incar cerate. We wish to congratulate the fede ration of Women's Clubs upon the selection of Mrs. M. T. Coleman as its president. Her unbounded zeal and untiring energy is sure to bear abundant fruit for any work iawnich she may engage. We wish for her administration all success. MEMORIAL DAY. On Friday, May 10, many towns and cities in South Carolina observed .with appropriate exercises Confede rate Memorial Day, but among the list Abbeville was conspicuous by its absence. The observance of this one! day in the year as a tribute to the memory of those heroes in gray who so nobly bore their part though four years of strife and bloodshed, is at best bu; a poor tribute to their mem ory and one that any Southern com munity can 111 anora 10 neglect. While it is well for us of the South to keep our faces turned resolutely toward a future which holds for us an ever brightening prospect, still it is \ hardly fitting that we should fail pub licly to pay the homage so justly due those men who, in the hour of their country's need, so nobly and so will ingly laid their all upon the altar of their country. Memorial Day affords to us an opportunity of instilling in the minds of the younger generation that reverence for the deeds of their noble sires which should serve so weil to encourage in them an,emula tion of all that is noble and worthv in their forebears. Nowhere in the State are the flow ers more beautiful aud more abundant than in Abbeville, and nowhere are the achievements of the Confederate soldier held in higher veneration than tight here in Abbeville, which gave to the Confederacy all of her citizens able to bear arms. Then why not let us, each Memorial Day hereafter, pause from our labors for just a few hours and show our appre ciation by a proper observance of the day. What say you, Daughters of thel Confederacy ? I MR. SPROLES' REPLY. In this issue of the Press and Ban ner is printed a statement from Mr. A. J. Sproles, Superintendent of the. Waterworks in Greenwood, purport-) ing to justify the imprisonment of ( Miss Belle Yoe for. not yielding pos-| session of her property, which had 3 been condemned for watei works pur- 1 poses by the City of Greenwood. Again conceding most of the con tentions made by Mr. Sproles, which ( we do the more readily after reading l* 1 1; i__ I nis very *uie anu eiceeumgiy uuer esting defense, we must hold to our one contention, that condemnation proceedings enforced by contempt of court orders, border dangerously near ] on despotism. Yielding the point that it was necessary, in view of her j conduct, to forcibly take possession of < Miss Yoe's entire property, we fall t back on our original contention that the process should be changed. If Miss Yoe, for spite, did those < things which she knew would con taminate the city's supply of water < and in other ways violate the terms of ( the title made to the city by her fath- 1 er, she should be held liable in dam ages, if necessary to the extent of her entire estate. The enforcement of a judgment for damages is an old and recognized process that does not de- ' prive the damaging party of liberty , or do violence to the principle of freedom. Whatever the law may be, ; for we are no lawyer, we would justi- < fy damages by the old and accepted process to the extent of confiscation, but we cannot justify imprisonment ' of a woman except for crime, or a grave offense against the plain letter of the law. The alleged aggravating | conduct of Miss Yoe may go far to ward relieving the city council of Greenwood of regrets for doing a very harsh, if necessary, thing; but it does not alter the principle. It seems from Mr. Sproles' state ments that the city owned three acres of ground bought from her father be fore Miss Yoe came into possession of adjoining lands. It seems further that her father had kept faith with the city in not doing anything that would contaminate the water. Then any building, pasture or objectionable intrusion of any kind could have been condemned and removed under the ordinary law of nuisance. This it would seem gave the city ample redress without forcibly dispossessing her of her entire property, by con demnation proceedinrs. Viewing the act of the city as Mist Yoe d<?es, resentment was natural, but with the light that Mr. Sproles has thrown on her conduct it Is a pity that the city had not selected some other site and left her in possession of i her ten dollar per acre land. To our unind anything would have been bet ter than jailing her. The best room in the jail and a seat at the jailer's table all sound very well, but they affect her only tempo rarily. They are merely the sugar coating for a nauseating drug, in no way affecting its composition. The degradation of a jail sentence will at tach to her reputation throughout her life, and if the case is appealed will become a part of the legal re cords of the State. Sir Walter Scott expressed the very beautiful senti ment, that the falcon can never again fly so high which has once worn a bell. This imprisonment will ever be a cause of humiliation to Miss Yoe and her friends, and we can not help but feel some sympathy for her in a forlorn fight unaided with the city of Greenwood backed even by the State of South Caroliua. Per hatw if urn haH lioon mnPA nparlv ortn. cerned as our friend Mr. Sproles has 1 been we would feel differently. They ' say that all the sentimentality thaj; is ( written about the Indians is written ( in the eastern section of this country. I His prior rights and his retreat be- 1 fore the white man count for little!i with the men of the plains. Sproles is grappling with a fact, an*}; this editor with a theory, which, af ter all, may account for such differ ence of opinion. MRS. LONG'S POEM. Mrs. Alexander Long paid a very , pretty compliment, to our city in the . original Hn& recited in the opening meeting of the Women's Federation here. As many could not catchier ( words fully we have printed the lines in this issue of the paper. i Mrs. Long was vice-president of the Federation, but for private rea sons gave up this position and de clined to run for the presidency. She is a bright lady and has done much ( for the cause of woman in South Car- \ olinn, in the higher and nobler field of woman's rights, to wit: her moral, mental and physical culture. As a worthy candidate for a Car- i negie hero medal we suggest S. J. ' Killow of Arkansas, who has been * married ten times, taking unto him- J self a widow on eight of these mo- * mentous occasions. In the promotion of Mr. J no. F. Livingston to the presidency of the C. N. A L. railroad another Abbe ville man has taken front rank in his * profession. You simply can't keep Abbeville men down. 1 ii Anderson may be "my" town, Greenville may have the prettiest 1 girls (we don't admit it), and you h may be able to get a square meal in ?

Winthrop. of the South Carolina's ed- j aeational conservatories, knows how to celebrate a. twenty-tilth birthday quite properly. Sound Advice. Edgefield Advertiser. A prominent Edgefield merchant pre iicts that western corn will be selling for &1.50 per bushel by July. Would it not be well to duble the acreage of late corn that was originolly planned? Then next year pou would be independent of the western jorn grower. Floyd Allen's Cuirass. The State. Among the absurdities of the trial, at Wytheville, Va., of Floyd Allen, for the shooting-tp of the court at Hillsville, is a lispatch to the New York Evening Post, quoting a deputy sheriff as saying that Floyd All^n wore a breast-plate Or a shirt )f- mail, because four bullets which hit him, 'rom a heavy-calibre revolver in the hands >f the deputy, affected him not at all; in :act, did not even distract the clansman's attention from the grim business In which ia war enraged. Now. in the first place, t is altogether unlikely that Allen wore ?ny protective device. In the second place, >t is doubtful if he could have procured, mywhere, a shirt-of-raail which would be proof against puncture by a bullet, of arge calibre. In the third placje, the im pact of such a bullet, at point-blank range, whether or not it entered his body, would ilmost certainly have knocked Allen down, ind probably would have disabled him. rhe imaginative correspondent who wrote ;he dispatch, or the deputy, if it was he who fathered the tale, might have learned something to his advantage by a little pre Iminary o&loulation, based on the tables x> be found in almost every arms cata ogue, as to the impact in foot-pound6 of 145-calibre bullet from a heavy Colt "six shooter" such as deputies affect. Help Our Owb People. Atlanta Journal. No disaster of recent decadec has been nore sweeping in the traffic issue than tbe llississlppi flood. Others, like that of the Titanic, have )een more poignantly dramatic because ;helr terror has been packed into a few ' jutting moments. But here is a mlsfor ;une. that rolls over thousands of miles and jqakwigs itself through distressing weeks und months, that engulfs home after home tnd leaves in its wake a loss and a sorrow *hich only the flow years can repair. Wherever such a disaster might befall, it thould enlist our keenest sympathy and nost generous comfort. In times past, the people of Atlanta and of Georgia have lib ;rally aided sufferers In distant corners of /Q6 COnUDeiib UUU 1M11U3 1U1 U??l iuo oca. Surely, then, we cannot remain unmoved ind unresponsive to the calamity of our jwn southern neighbors. The people of Mississippi and Louisiana are bound to us sy close ties of tradition and friendship ind kindred. They stand today, thousands >f them, in need of food and clothing and the other necessaries of life, for the flood has deprived them of the very sources of sxistence. The Journal has opened a subscription list to send them relief, leading the way with a donation of its own. We wish no f>art in this cause save that of co-opera tive usefulness. We shall acknowledge subscriptions from day to day and see that they are turned over to responsible authori ties. Let us come forward promptly and lib erally to the rescue of our own people.

A. J. SPROLES. Superintendent Greenwood Wa ter and Light Plant Anent Imprisonment oi Miss Yoe. Editor Press and Banner: Some one has sent me a marked copy of your issue of May 1st, ,in which I find, under the caption "An Outrage," an editorial aneru the im prisonment of Miss Belle Yoe for con tempt of court, in the case of the City of Greenwood against her in con demning land for the protection of oUno/lv Apf o KlicKnrl u'Q^or onnnlv UUi ail cauj coi.au4iouvu and not, as you state, for the estab lishment of a new source of supply. In either case, however, you con ceed the right and justice of the city, the jury, the courts and the judge under the law of eminent do main, to seek and enforce such meas ures as will safeguard the health of the community, but state that "if a peaceable citizen may be seized in her home by the sheriff, dragged be fore a circuit judge, imprisoned in definitely, and her effects moved from her home by the bailiffs, for no greater offense than that of refusing to give up the property she had law fully inherited, then it is time the law was changed." Legally right but morally wrong, from your standpoint.' Now most of your assumptions are wrong?maybe your information. She was not brought into court as a prisoner, but came carrying a ' large bouquet of flowers and with the pomp of a queen and air of a bride. None sought or wished to humiliate her, and she was sent to jail solely be cause of her insolence and impudence to the presiding judge, in open court, of the gravity of which she could not have been ignorant, since when she has eaten with the jailor's family and occupied the best room in their apart ments. Her household effects were moved under the personal supervision of her brother to another place she had pre viously prepared and to which we could have had the sheriff move her long ago, but chose to be patient rather than embarrass her. However remotely we may be con nected with h<?r incarceration, it is not necessary for me to explain, de fend or apologize for the conduct of our city council and commissioners of public works in pursuing the only course left them in maintaining the purity of our water supply, on which their constituency depends.

For $1,000 more we could have bought from him, at that time, all the land a jury of condemnation, just a few years later, made us pay his daughter $7,125.00, because, as they argued, she didn't want to sell and the city had to have it?all of which we accepted in rood faith and took our medicine, with costs to kill the taste. The original purchase price carried with it the full and free use of the water from his spring and cer tain other easements necessary for the protection and operation of a water works plant, as the following paragraph from our abstract of title clearly shows: "I do hereby grant, give and con vey in perpetuity, to the said 'Com missioners of Public Works' of the Town of Greenwood, their successors and assigns, a right of way through my meadow on that certain piece or plantation of land lying and situate in the county and State above writ ten and containing two hundred and thirty acres, more or less, and bound ed by lands of A. M. Blake Rocky Creek, lands of John Sample, lands of Sam Hinton and lands of A. J. Bell, Wiilliam Duncan, B. F. Rey nolds and Giles Woodson, the said above mentioned meadow being near Yoes Spring thereo, with full right and authority thereon to enter and to use such means and force as may be necessary to construct and lay, as from time to time and at any time may be deemed advisable, a connect jing pipe therethrougn to Ihe reser voir from the creek nearby, ani there on at any time and from time to time to enter and to use such force and means as may be necessary to take up the same or any part thereof, or the same repair, alter or change as may be deemed advisable by the said 'Commissioners of Public Works,' their successors or assigns and also give, grant and convey, in perpeutity thereto, their successors and assigns, the said waters of the said creek, and right and full power the said creek to dam, and the same to divert and use absolutely and without any A ' ?1 ' - ? nn/1 f Vi a ' restraint or limnauuu, aim, same to cause to flow in such reser- ( voir or reservoirs as may or shall be erected, and the same thereafter i to use and convert and appropriate as the said Commissioners of Pubilc i Works, their successors or assigns I and to construct and to erect above j | ground a pole line at any time or, j times and to se use and employ such !. I means and force as may be necessary j i'for the erection and construction of ] each of the same, to wit: the said s pipe line and the said pole line and thereon at any time to enter for the purpose of repairing. removing, changing, altering, inspecting and ] furnishing the same or either of them or any part or portion thereof, and 1 to empoly thereof such force as may be necessary thereof and also the full . right and power, which is hereby giv en, granted and conveyed to the said | 'Commissioners of Public Works,' i 1 their successors and assigns at any time to terrace, hillside ditch and to ; drain in such manner and to such ex tent the said above mentioned and de scribed lands, which adjoin the said ] three acres sold this day to the said j town of Greenwood, and herein de scribed as to fully and effectually' ( protect Yoes Spring from all surface ] waters, all impurities and contaminat- J ing substances and influences of whatsoever nature and kind, and to . inclose the sai,d spring branch by \ fencing, the said fence to be placed J on either side thereof on terrace or hillside ditch nearest the said branch, j and the same to keep fenced so long j as any cattle or live stock of any kind J whatsoever are permitted or allowed to be, go or enter upon the said i branch and to have and to employ and < to use such force and means as may be necessary therefor, and the said hillside ditches to keep in repair, al ter or change the same, from time to ! time and at all times and therefor ; on my said lands to enter. "Provided, however, that in case j the said cattle or livestock, each or avpt-v nf them are permanently re moved from the said above mentioned lands and forever kept therefrom then the said fence shall be removed, oth erwise there to remain, or to be erect ed again thereon if this proviso be in any part or respect violated, and pro vided, further, that there shall be an opening one or more in the said fence so as to permit the free and easy crossing and recrossing of the said branch. "And do hereby give and grant full power to the said Commissioners of Public Works, their successors and assigns full power to remove and keep out of said inclosure of said sprfcg branch all and any contami nating substances of whatsoever na ture, as well as the cause or causes of such contaminating substances therefrom to remove, and to prevent and forever prohibit any use thereof likely to pollute or contaminate the purity of the waters of the said spring branch, in the judgment of the said 'Commissioners of Public Works,' their successors or assigns." Durine the father's ownership these terms were complied with with out interference. We kept the small watershed clear of objectionable ^nat ter either by ditching or fencing, but when the titles passed to the daugh ter our troubles began. She seemed to think our rights ceased with the passing of titles, although many prominent attorneys from Greenville to Charleston advised her they did not, still she was persistent in not allowing us to do anything that ought to be done. As evidence of her extreme ani mus, we could not keep ditches open. She tore away the spring enclosure and cut down all the shrubs and flow ers planted therein, some very choice ones, school children and other visi tors from town were forbidden to go to the spring for a drink of water, which she stood guard over with a buggy whip on picnic occasions to which hundreds of thirsty pleasure seekers will testify. She had already built some very objectionable and in fectious buildings and outhouses above the spring, and had given it out that she ,was going to build a tu berculosis sanitorium on a knoll still nearer to it, and be it known, she is a woman of means, a graduate M. D. and a trained nurse of some renown. Knowing all these facts, and that it is far more important to protect the source of a water supply than to at tempt its purification, by any sort of filtering process, after it becomes pol luted, especially if from colori bacili, a common, yet among the most dan gerous of all germs, I would be re creant to the trust imposed in me by 10,000 unsuspecting citizens if I did not recommend the removal by pur chase, of every vestige of infectious i matter and contaminating influence 1 from around our water supply. In Miss Yoe's case the worst of all? there were others?we had to con- ' demn because she would not sell at any price and whatever outsiders or a few local citizens may think or say it is gratifying to know that all ( of our resident physicians, knowing renditions, are unselfish enough to commend our course. As a rule the people of Greenwood! are chivalrous, charitable and sympa-j thetic, but they are also patriotic, vigilant and zealous for the public or abstract good to the exclusion of that sentiment which deals only with | individual or concrete interests.
