Everybody boost the county fair.
Everybody is still swatting: the fly.
Here's for a "safe and sane" vice
president.
Editor Booker discovered chicken
gravy in Spartanburg.
"When the band begins to play,"
I'll be there?at the county fair.
Speaking of has-beens, can the
Turko-Italian war come back ?
One difference between Caesar and
Roosevelt was the former's penchant
for fat men.
The national Republican conven
tion is now in session. Here's hoping
they'll nominate a good loser.
While the steam roller is fired up
couldn't it do something to Ormsby
McHarg ?
\
Major J. C. Hemphill will report
the natioual Republican convention
at Chicago for the New York Times.
.At Anson, Texas, last week they
used dynamite to bring rain. Just
think of it, these grassy days.
The State campaign opened at
Sumter yesterday. Have you no
ticed a difference in the temperature?
The latest from Georgia is a report
that the blush of the Elbertas is in
no wise a reflection on Tom Watson.
The commencement season is over
and many hearts have been mad<
happy by the receipt of their diplo
mas.
We can't vote for no man that
wears a rubber collar. BillieBunk^
might as well withdraw the nomina
tion of Ed. DeCamp.
J. r. Morgan paid $10,000 for a
copy of Bunyan, and yet we have
known people willing to pay any
amount to get rid of a bunion.
AVe once heard a man say thai
there was a president of the United
States who had never told a lie. But
look who he didn't have to run
against.
As the State campaign party will
not rPHfh Ahhpvillp until A nmwt Ifi
maybe it won't be necessary to inau
gurate a campaign for a "safe and
sane" Fourth. '
The kind of men needed in the
legislature are those wise enough to
know what to do for the best inter
ests of the State and brave enough to
fight for them.
Over in Greonwood they have dis
covered a new word?valetudinarian"
meaning being in a poor state of
health. That's what's affecting the
Republican party.
We don't care much about the
9-foot sheet law, but as the Press As
sociation will meet at the Isle ol
Palms next year, we hope no restric
tions will be placed on bathing suits.
|Trt/\ri hie rainvti I^A o.
p7" uwiviuiii iiuiii uic i iiw at
sociation, Kditor Booker of the
Greenville Piedmont sighs that "liv
ing is just a habit." The Spartan
burg brand of buttermilk never did
agree with a mountaineer.
One enthusiastic and bloodthirsty
Democrat has been heard to remark
that if the Republicans should get in
a fight at their national convention
he hoped enough of them would be
eliminated to make a Democratic
victory absolutely certain.
Mayor Grace of Charleston says he
is prepared to substantiate his state
ment that he can trace graft in the
Charleston liquor industry to the
governor's office. The governor de
nounces Grace as "a liar and a cow
ard." "Lay on, Macduff."
Verily there is nothing new under
the sun. In a copy of The Independ
ent Press, a forerunner of The Press
and Banner, published in 1856, we
find the editor complaining of "the
increase in the already high cost o 1
living," and raising his advertising
rates.
Hon. Josephus Daniels, editor ol
the Raleigh News and Observer, says
the talk about Bryan trying to cap
ture the Democratic nomination is
"moonshine." Coming from North
Carolina, the distinguished editor no
doubt knows "moonshine" by sight.
WHO VS. WHO.
Any prediction as to either the Re
publican or Democratic presidential ]
nominee i.s mere speculation, and i
that, too, without odds. Taft's steam i
roller has brought up his vote to a
possible plurality if the work of the
jcommittee is to be accepted, but even i
'then he lacks of sufficient votes to i
[elect. Teddy will come back. That i
[ he is of an elastic substance that will i
j recover much, even after the steam
roller has passed over, was demon
strated first after the New York pri
mary. That he will again rally in
the convention is more than certain.
There are 116 uninstructed and un
contested delegates, and besides these
there are ye instructor lor juaronuiu;
and 10 for Cummins. While both
LaFollette and Cummins have a
grudge against Roosevelt for stealing
their "birth right," the pledged sup
porters of these gentlemen are pro
gressives above everything else, and
once they are released they will like
ly go to Roosevelt.
The 11G unpledged delegates were
in all probability not satisfied with
the present administration, or else
thuv u'niili) huvt> hpen Dlcdt?ed for
Taft. At any rate the best gunner
will bag the most of them and the
Nimrod of African experience has
prowess along this line. If we ven
ture a prediction then, it is that Mr.
Roosevelt will be nominated.
If Taft is nominated it is likely
that Wilson will be the Democratic
nominee, but the very qualities that
give him pre-eminence against Taft
make his nomination least desirable
against Roosevelt. Wilson can not
out-Herod Herod in appealing to the
progressive Republican vote, and if
anybody thinks that staudpat Re
publicans are going to vote for a Dem
ocrat under any circumstances he is
very much mistaken. To nominate
Wilson against Roosevelt then is to
invite defeat. The progressive Re
publicans will vote for a Democrat as
arainst Taft. hence to nominate Wil
son, Underwood, Harmon or Kern as
against Taft will lay the odds heavily
with the Democrats.
The tariff will be the issue in both
parties, s?nd the Democrats have the
better of the argument on this ques
tion. The Democrats have been
standing consistently on this subject
all the while and the Republican
have been driven in.. The only criti
cism of Underwood's position on th?
tariff is that he has not been radian
>r that is what it amounts to. if lib
position is not consistent then his par
ty has not been consistent, for the
party in the lower house has sup
ported him almost to a num. While
Mr. Underwood does not go the
convention with as many votes a.
oither Clark or Wilson, he occupies
a commanding position 011 the tarifl
that would make him strong against
Tall, and his known conservatism
would make him a formidable oppo
nent against Roosevelt. The Demo
I
cratic Convention may conclude that
the tariff and not sectionalism will
influence the public mind.
While Clark goes into the conven
tion with the largest following and
backed by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hearst,
his indiscrete utterances, such as the
one which defeated reciprocity with
Canada, and in fact throughout his
public career, make him least desira
ble as a winner.
A MAMMOTH AD.
The Columbia Record of the 13th
inst. contains an advertisement of The
James L. Tapp Co. which occupies
16 entire pages. This is by far the
largest advertisement of any Arm in
the single issue of a newspaper ever
printed in this State, and among the
largest in the Southern States. Mr.
Tapp has eclipsed his own record of
last January, at which time he car
ried 12 pages in one issue of the same
paper.
The Tapp concern is one of the
largest of its kind in the South, and
by far tli^ most progressive in sev
erai states. i?ir. iapp auriDuces ins
wonderful success iu large measure
to his unlimited use of advertising
space, reversing the time-honored
custom by advertising heaviest in
the ofl' seasons, in order to stimulate
buying in times usually considered
dull. This method he has found suc
cessful, as evidenced by his continua
tion of the policy.
Some doubting Thomases in Mr.
Tapp's town have questioned the
wisdom of this policy, but Mr. Tapp
is a man of too much business acumen
to waste his money in unprofitable
"stunts" simply to gain notoriety.
There is a sound business reason be
hind his policy and a reason that
justifies the time and trouble ex
pended upon the production of such
a mammoth ad?it pays.
The advertisements are well dis
played and printed and reflect credit
upon those responsible tor the excel
lence of their execution.
We are going to take up a collec
tion among the brethren of the press
to buy Ed. DeCamp a new duster?as
soon as the new half-cent pieces come '
out.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
Within a few days the committee
having in charge the work of secur
ing premiums will begin an active
canvass for articles to be used hs
prizes at the county fair, which will j
be held October 1(5, 17, 18. We feel
that it is hardly necessary for us to
urge upon all who are solicited ai
ready and generous response to the j
appeals of the committee.
We are sure that all who have the |
interest of Abbeville at heart?and !
who hasn't??will not fail to realize
the necessity of cooperation on their
part, and will act accordingly, j
There is one suggestion which has!
been advanced, however, that is well i
worthy of being; called to the atten
tion of onr merchants generally. I
That is, the solicitation from whole-1
salers and manufacturers with whom '
they have connections of articles j
suitable to be used as prizes. In this J
way there is little doubt but a good i
number of very valuable prizes might
be secured without cast, to anyone
in thecommunity. If our merchants;
will think to mention this to travel- j
ing representatives of the houses
with whom they deal or write direct j
to headquarters it will probably re
sult in offering some splendid pre
miums that might otherwise be lost
to the association. The fair will af
ford an excellent opportunity to ad- j
vertise agricultural implements and
household goods of all kinds and i
doubtless many would be glad to,
And let's be<?in now.

It is hardly necessary to di
late upon the good results to come
from holding a successful fair. Cer
tainly if no other benefit were to flow
from it than the pleasant social inter
course attendant upon such occasions
and the "get-together" spirit which
is necessary for the success of the oc
casion, it would still l>e well worth
the time and trouble. But there is a
larger and more far-reaching side?
the infusion of a spirit of generous
rivalry and the dissemination of
knowledge pertaining to agriculture
and kindred industries which are
bound to spell progress on the farm?
a progress which is certain to reflect
itself in the matorhfl advancement of
the towns, which, after all, are de
pendent upon the prosperity of the
country for their own upbuilding.
By all means, let's strive to make
the fair this year better than ever.
