Well, it's over at last. j
Business has waited on politics.
Many wtro called, but few "shoved .
in."
Everyb(Kly 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 lioosevelt party.
The belting was even that the

best ever.
Don't let your politics 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 conies news of
a revolution in Nicaragua.
The county fair will present a
splendid opportunity lor 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 pnctical
way to get them.
Now that a Harvard professor has
claimed to have succeeded in making
hot ice, it only remains for some one
to discover a method of making cold
tire.
The State of Georgia has actually
hel?l an election for governor when
we .scarcely knew there was a chim
paign in progress. Too much
"pussy-looting" over there, we are
afraid.
It is a source of gratification to the
people of Abbeville that they will be
ahle to furnish the people of the be
nighted communities of Anderson
and (ireenwood with some tirst-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 tilled, the South will have
in operation in cotton mills 13,f)00,000
cotton spindles, as against 16,o00,000
iu the North.
John i>. Arohbold, head of the
Standard Oil Company, has te?titio<I
that his company contributed
(MM) to Mr. Roosevelt's campaign
fund in 1904, 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 on
the Panama canal and then fail to
give her own people, who will, pay
for the canal, some advantage over
foreigners who will reap almost as
great an advantage.
Says the Augusta Chronicle with
reference to the Democratic cam
paign, just closed in Georgia: "Pol
iticians have ascertained that the
best way in which to reach the peo
ple 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
tive." Reads like a tale from the
Arabian Nights. ,
How Paint
The first cost of a good job of paint?
Devoe? is $50 (average size, of course).
The first cost of a secoud or third or fourth
rate job, $55 to $100.
The wear is likewise. The better you
paint, of course, the longer it wears. And
the uiore 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
this town.

FOK A BETTER CAMPAIGN, t
At the closing' meeting of (he State C
campaign in Greenville Thursday
Fraser Lyon took occasion to point
out to the people <>t" South Carolina
the danger to the State which will ^
underlie a failure to adopt some
measure for the purification ot our.
primary system as at present eon-|
ducted. Mr. Lyon correctly showed s
that if some means were not adopted ir
for conducting the canvass upon a.*
different plan it will be next to im- c
possible for the State to secure the (
services of her best sons, because a 1
instil of character and attainment will 1
he 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- I
nent. While there are some voters >
who delight to hear the stuff that J
usually passes current for "hot stuff,''J
while some may find themselves,c
amused in listening to two opponents ~
for high offices berate one another,
we believe that there is in the breasts 6
of the majority of the people of the *
State an abhorrence of a campaign I
such its the one through which we 4
have just passed, and that, left to a
themselves, they will demand that
?iw, iiKin M-im sisnire to lead them t
shall Ik? worthy of leadership l>y mi- i
son of character and ability and that j
those who seek their suffrage shall \i
address them in terms that must he r
at least respectful to the audience. \
The present campaign has heen an t
unusual one, but if it has demon- \
strated one thing more than another 1
it has proved that the majority of t
the people of this State are peace- y
loving, because with feeling wrought v
to a higher pitch than in any cam- a
paigu lu 20 yean, there bag been uo
serious disorder, and, with the ex
ception of one or two counties, the
campaign meetings have been re
markably free from serious disturb- j
ances, and every candidate has had (,
his day in court before the bar of j
public opinion. }
But, nevertheless, some of the f
campaigners themselves have been
less respectful than their audiences j
and tin* general level of the cam
J!
paign has been below the h'vel of tin*
avenge voter.
It is now too late to attempt to lay
the blame for this, because the peo
pie will have expnssHl themselves
when this is read. rne inin^ 101
do i* lor patriotic* iu< 11, n^ardless of|
fie outcome of this election, to re
flect <!e-ply upon lli?* indignities <>1"
then mp:?i?rn just clo>ed and to for
mulate some plan which will prevent
a recurrence of like conditions.
In theory there is no fault with the
county-to-county canvass. Ui^htlv
used, it can he made a useful instru
ment for tin; enlightenment of the
people and would acconip'? >' 1! *nat
its most ardent t-nampions had
lio|*a<l, l>ut, as conducted this year, it 1
is calculated only to c*li(ni|K>n the re- j
specl which our people have gcner- ;
ally held for the men who have lillcd (
the high positions of honor ami trust (
among us, to lower the standard of
the men who oiler themselves as
leaders, and to inculcate in the minds t
of our youth false ideals and impress |
upon their plastic minds the false j
notion that it requires bravery to ,
stand up before an assembly and
denounce an opponent in terms al
most unfit for decent ears, when, as ,
a matter of fact, it takes more real '
bravery to maintain one's equipoise
under damaging though false charges }
and refrain from a retort in kiiki, (
than it dovs to originate si virions ,
attack under circumstances where ,
conditions practically prevent per
sonal encounter.
The improvement of the campaign ]
in future presents a problem which ,
culls for the best thought of our most f
patriotic men. Unless something is
done this paper will advocate the ab
olition of the county-to-county can
vass and the substitution of the Geor
gia plan, under which each candidate '
conducts his own campaign in his
own way. j

NEXT?THE FAIR. j
Politic* ulMtrhifl t)i(> :ltfellt i(in
of everybody for the last few weeks,
to the exclusion of every other topic '
aud to the practical stagnation of \
business. JN'ow that the campaign is
ended, is it uot high time to turn to
the practical constructive work
which will prove of benefit in the up
building aud developing of Abbe
ville county?
Asa first means to that end there
occurs the county fair, which this
year will be held October lfi, 17,18.
As an opportunity for the inter
change of ideas that will prove benefi
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 ,
sure to lead to more thorough inves
tigation of the host methods for the ,
attainment 01 individual perfection ]
and the knowledge gained in sit- ;
tempting to produce a single exam
ple for exhibition purposes will be of
help in improving the standard of
the entire species.
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-j
fronted he is apt to gain information
that will prove of lasting benefit. J
We presume that arrangements <
have been made with the authorities
of (Memson College for an agricul-]
ural expert to he present and clem
nstrate some of the advanced ideas
>n agriculture which have resulted
'roin the study of the science at that
plendid 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
ochd feature, which will add so
nuch to the pleasure of the fair,
^riends in different sections of the
ounty who may not have seen each
>ther for many years will he present
!U Willi ail opportunity iw am n
heir acquaintance and spend sonic
iitui in pleasant social intercourse, an
ipportunity well worth taking ad
,vintage of.
Amusements of all kinds will lie
irovided, and no one will go away
vithout having had a chance to en
oy a pleasant and profitable time.
As a feature that may lie worthy of
!onsideratiou, we would offer the
uggestion to those in charge that an
iffort he made to secure theattend
mce of a good roads expert from the
lepartment of agriculture and that a
iractieal demonstration he given of
he method of construction and oper
ition of the split-log drag.
By all means let's have a large at-1
endance at the county lair. The
nen who are promoting the enter-'
rise and working for its success are
giving their .time and energies with
hi hope of reward other than that
vhich comes from a consciousness of
laving contributed to the general
velfare. They are entitled to the
leartv cooperation of every citizen in
heir work. Be sure they have I

THE WAREHOUSE BILL. j
The Press and Manner publishes'
bis wet'k in full the proposed new
otton warehouse act, prepared by j
Messrs. John L. McLaurin and I-!.1
A\ Dabbs, acting under instructions|
roni the State Farmers' t'nion.
It will be remembered that at the
ast session of the General Assembly
in act providing for a system of State;
varehouses was passed, but was dc
I
:lared unconstitutional by the su
>reme court, in a recnit decision, by
eason of the manner in which the
ict was sougt.t to Dc made ericetive.
Vt the same time the court laid down
he doctrine that the basic principle
nvolved in the act was not repug
lant to the constitution, hut came:
,-Iearly within the scope of the police
>owers of the State. The decision,
f we arc correctly informed, laid
lown a new principle of. law, which
nay he of far-rev* iiing etl'ect, and
,vas Mie nrst pronouncement along
iimilar lines of any of our courts.
Messrs. McLaurin and Dahhs have
irepared a bill which, it is believed,
kVitl meet the objection.-, which .st<>< d
u the way of last year's act bccom
ng operative, while, at the same
ime they have broadened somewhat
he scope of the act, endeavoring to
make provision for a uniform system
jf packing and grading, so that the
otlon of South Carolina, when it en
ters the markets of the world, will
lave a well recognized standard of
value.
Unquestionably, there is lost to the
:otton growers of the South each
year a large *um by reason of the
slipshod manner in which their pro
luct is prepared lor foreign markets,
tnd any measure that will give to
>ur cotton a fixed standard of quality
ivili in itself eliminate a large ele
ment of loss.
The act, as prepared by Messrs. Mc
Laurin and l)abbs, is cast along
broad and general lines and the de
tails are left mainly to-thc conunis
sioners provided for.
The act and the explanation offered
[>y its authors is presented in full,
that our readers may inform them
selves, and it is hoped all will avail
themselves of the opportunity pre
sented to become conversant with a
topic which is of such vital import
mce to the people of the cotton-grow
ing States.
