Well, it's over at last.
Business has waited on polities;
Many were called, but few "shoved
in."
Everybody declared for the split
log drag.
The returns show that Good Roads
have been elected.
Have you contributed that dollar;
to the cause of Democracy ?
The congestion of the anxious '
bench is considerably relieved.
Somehow the country fails to en- [
thuse over the Roosevelt party.
The belting was even that the
County Fair this year would be the
best ever.
Don't let your politic* or your re
ligion interfere with your coming to
the county fair.
Everybody is willing to vote for
the split-log drag, no matter if he is
in the middle of the road.
Just when we were hoping for a
little quietude, along comes news of
a revolution in iMcaragua.
The county fair will present a
splendid opportunity for everybody
to become acquainted with the split
log drag.
Good roads and good schools were
favored by every candidate. The
thing to do is to find some practical
way to get them.
Now that a Harvard professor has
claimed to have succeeded in making
hot; ice, it only remains for some one
discover a method of making cold
fire.
The state of Georgia has actually ;
held an election for governor when 1
we scarcely knew there was a cam- '
paign in progress. Too much
"pussy-footing" over there, we are
afraid.
It is a source of gratification to the
people of Abbeville that they will be
able to furnish the people of the be
nighted communities of Anderson
and Greenwood with some first-class
amusement during the coming the
atrical season.
According to a statement by David
Clark, editor of the Southern Textile
Bulletin, when orders now placed
have been filled, the South will have
in operation in cotton mills 13,500,000
cotton spiudles, as against 16,500,000
in the North.
John D. Archbold, head of the
Standard Oil Company, has testified
that his company contributed
$125,000 to Mr. Roosevelt's campaign
fund in 1004, and that the contribu
tion was accepted with Mr. Roose
velt's knowledge and consent.
Without a careful study of the
question, it seems ridiculous to ex
pect that the United States would ex
pend so much time and money ou <
the Panama canal and then fail to i
give her own people, who will pay j
for the canal, some advantage over I
foreigners who will reap almost as <
great an advantage. i
Says the Augusta Chronicle with '
reference to the Democratic cam
paign, just closed in Georgia: "Pol
iticians have ascertained that the 1
best way in which to reach the peo- ;
pie is through the newspapers, and
that touring the country in efforts to <
meet the voter face to face is far <
more expensive and far less effec- i
> tive." Reads like a tale front the <
Arabian Nights. i
How Paint
The lirst cost of a good job of paint? 1
Devoe? is $50 (average size, of course), j
The llrst cost of a second or third or fourth ,
rate job, J55 to $100.
The wear is likewise. The better you
paint, of course, the longer it wears. And
the more you pay for your job, tho shorter
it wears !
Devoe is one of a dozen good paints.
There are hundreds of bad ones. As like
ly ;as not, Devoe is the only good one in i
this town.

FOR A BETTER CAMPAIGN, t
At the closing meeting of the State c
?ampaign in Greenville Thursday j
Fraser Lyon took occasion to point
nut to the |>eople of South Carolina
the danger to the State which will *
underlie it failure to adopt some
measure for the purification oi our
primary system as at present con
ducted. Mr. Lvon correctly showed i'
that if some means were not adopted 1
for conducting the canvass upon a ^
different plan it will be next to im- (
possible for the State to secure the (
services of her best sons, localise a *
man of character and attainment will '
be unwilling to place himself upon *
the level of such a campaign and to (
subject himself to the abuse and de
nunciation of one who may be an
unworthy and unscrupulous oppo- 1
nent. While there are some voters 1
who delight to hear the stuff, that j
usually passes current for "hot stuff,"
while some may find themselves <
tuiiused in listening to two opponents '
for high offices borate one another, <
we believe that Ihere is in tne Dreasis ?
of the majority of the people of the (
State an abhorrence of a campaign 1
inch as the one through which we 1
have just passed, and that, left to 1
themselves, they will demand that
the men who aspire to lead them 1
shall be worthy of leadership by rca- l
son of character and ability and that j
those who seek their suffrage shall <
address them in terms that must be i
nt'least respectful to the audience. \
The present campaign 1ms been an 1
unusual one, but if it has demon- \
jtrated one thing more than another 1
it has proved that the minority of t
the people of this State are peace- i
loving, because with feeling wrought \
to a higher pitch than in any cam- a
paign in 20 years, th?re has been no
*+ious disorder, and, with the ex
ception of one or two counties, the
campaign meetings have been re
markably free from serious disturb- t
inces, and every candidate has had (
tils day in court before the bar of i
public opinion. i
But, nevertheless, some of the j
campaigners themselves have been
lefcs respectful than their audiences j
*nd the general level of the cam
-- ?--? iL. I_ | ..f 5
paign nas oeen oeiow me ievei in mr
iverage voter.
It is mow too late b> attempt to lay
the blame for this, because the peo
ple will have expressed themselves
n'hen this is read. > The thing to
lo is for patriotic men, regardless of
the outcome of this election, to re
flect deeply upon the indignities of
the campaign just close*I and to for
mulate some plan which will prevent
i recurrence of like conditions.
In theory there is no fault with the
jounty-to-county canvass. Rightly
used, it can he made a useful instru
ment for the enlightenment of tho
!>eopleand would accomplish all that
its most ardent champions had
hoped, but, as conducted this year, it '
in calculated only to chea|ien the re- j
>pect which our people have goner-.*
illy held for the men who have tilled ^
the high positions of honor and trust j
tmong us, to lower the standard of ,
the men who offer themselves as
leaders, and to inculcate in the minds
>f our youth false ideals ami impress |
upon their plastic minds the false |
notion that it requires bravery to ,
stand up before an assembly and
denounce an op]>ouent in terms al
most unfit for decent ears, when, as ,
i matter of fact, it takes more real j
bravery to maintain one's equipoise
under damaging though false charges
And refrain from a retort in kind,
than it does to originate a vicious ,
Attack under circumstances where f
conditions practically prevent per
sonal encounter.
The improvement of the campaign j
in future presents a problem which (
aalls for the best thought of our most .
patriotic men. Unless something is
clone this paper will advocate the ab
L>lition of the couuty-to-county can
vass and the substitution of the Geor
gia plan, under which each candidate *
inducts his own campaign in his
dwii way. .
NEXT?THE FAIR. j
Politics has absorbed the attention
[)f everybody for the last few weeks,
lo the exclusion of every other topic '
and to the practical stagnation of ]
business. Now that the campaign is I
Bnded, is it not high time to turn to ^
the practical constructive work
which will prove of benefit in the up
building and developing of Abbe- '
vilhs county?
As a first means to that end there i
occurs the county fair, which this i
year will be held October 16,17,18.
As an opportunity for the inter- ]
change of ideas that will prove beneti- i
cial to those who devote themselves
to agriculture there is no instrument
of more potency. Friendly rivalry in
the production of the best specimens
in all departments of agriculture is \
3ure to lead to more thorough inves- (
ligation of the Ix^st methods for the J
attainment or individual perfection i
and the knowledge gained in at- j
tempting, to produce a single exam- i
pie for exhibition purposes will be of
help in improving the. standard of
the entire species. i
Experience is the greatest of teach- (
ers, and when the individual has an -
opportunity to hear the exi?erience
of his neighbors in meeting the prob- ]
lems with which he himself is con
fronted he is apt to gain information
that will prove of lasting beuetit.
We presume that arrangements \
have been made with the authorities '
of Clemson College for an agricul
ural expert to be present and dem
>nstrate some of the advanced ideas
>n agriculture which have resulted
'roin the study of the science at that
iplendid institution. This feature
ilone would amply repay for the
;ime and effort spent in attending
he county fair.
In addition to these, there is the
social feature, which will add so
nuch to the pleasure of the fair.
Friends in different sections of the
,'ounty who may not have seen each
it her for many years will be present
id with an opportunity to renew
;heir acquaintance and spend some
Lime in pleasant social intercourse, an
)pportunity well worth taking ad
vantage of.
Amusements of all kinds will he
provided, and no one will go away
without having had a chance to en
oy a pleasant and profitable time.
As a feature that may be worthy of
jonsideration, we would offer the
suggestion to those in charge that an
jffbrt be made to secure the attend
mce of a good roads expert from the
lepartinent of agriculture and that a
practical demonstration be given of
;he method of construction and oper
ition of the split-log drag.
By all means let's have a large at
endance at the county lair. The
nen who are promoting the enter
prise and working for its success are
giving their time and energies with
10 hope of reward other than that
vhich comes from a consciousness of
laving contributed to'the general
velfare. They are entitled to the
learty cooperation of every citizen in
heir work. Be sure they have
,'ours. 'Your presence at the fair
vith an exhibit will best attest your
ippreciation.

Messrs. John L. McLaurin and K.
^V. Dabbs, acting under instructions
roni the State Farmers' Union.
It will be remembered that at the
ast session of the General Assembly
tn act providing: for a system of State
varehouses was passed, but was de
clared unconstitutional by the su
>rt?me court, in a recent decision, by
eason of the manner in which the
ict was sought to be made effective.
Yt the same time the court laid down
he doctrine that the basic principle
nvolved in the act was not repujj
lant to the constitution, but came
rlearly within the scope of the police
lowers of the State. The decision,
f we are correctly informed, laid
lown a new principle of law, which
nay he of far-reaching effect, and
A'as the first pronouncement along

line they have broadened somewhat
he scope of the act, endeavoring to
nake provision for a uniform system
