Commissioner Watson told vome hard facts to an Abbeville audience , last Thursday night. They are frets ( which canjbe remedied. It appears from the Charleston pa- i pers that the United States Navy has at last succeeded in capturing Char leston. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day, i and we should all remember the or phanages which provide homes for the fatherless. The superiority of Charleston's harbor was amply demonstrated by Uncle Sam's navy last week, em phasizing the value of Charleston as the port for the Panama trade. The whole of Europe may go to war about Turkey, but the average American has long since become re conciled to the fact that turkey is be yond his reach. If the sample of hospitality which the Greenwood doctors tendered the doctors of the Third District last week is characteristic of the commun ity generally, no wonder "Green wood grows greater." The thriving town of Clinton is the latest aspirant for a new county seat. Clinton is a wide-awake, progressive town and will no doubt push the movement for a new county with vigor. - % There is no merit in the proposition to pension our ex-presidents, and no necessity for it. Mr. Carnegie could find better ways of disposing of hi wealth by relieving the actual suffer ing about him. Ail added aspirant for United States District Attorney is Hon. R. A. Coope?\ of Laurens, solicitor of the Eighth Circuit. Mr. Cooper is well qualified for the office and would dis charge its duties in a worthy manner. Jerry Moore, the boy who grew 228 bushels of corn on one acre, has gone to Chicago to be present at a land ex position. Jerry has done more to give South Carolina the right kind of advertising than anybody we know of. May his tribe increase. Abbeville, the best cotton market in the State, has attracted a good deal of cotton from nearby points. The square presented a scene of activity all last week. Among the rest there were 40 bales which came from the town of Greenwood. The Saturday Evening Post discus ses "The Burdens of the Rich" in an intimate way that leads us to opine that the writer knows something of his subject. We shall have to accept his dictum for our part for lack of suf ficient information on which to base an opinion. Speaking of electing judges by the people, it is interesting to note that there is now a movement on foot in Chicago to have the jndges appointed by the Governor, npon the recom mendation of a board acting in the capacity of an advisory committee. The claim is made that such a steD would tend to remove the office of judge from politics. The writer paid a visit to the office of The Greenwood Index last week and found just what one might ex pect to see in the home of such an excellent journal?a neatly kept and well equipped office, modern in all its Hppointments. To one who loves his craft such a shop is an inspiration. ine inuex ueserves aim rtfceivtas a splendid support from its home town. THE DOCTORS AND A LAY MAN. It was the pleasure of the writer, as the guest of Drs. Neuffer, Gam brell and Simpson to attend the meet ing of the Third District Medical So ciety, held in Greenwood last Thurs day. The trip was made in Dr. Neuf fer's machine, and barring a slight mishap on the way over, was ex tremely pleasant. The meeting was a very pleasant one and the entertainment provided by the doctors of Greenwood was not the least pleasaut feature of the occasion. As the only layman present, the writer naturally felt just a little awk ward, but the doctors were so gen uine in their hospitality that any such feelings were soon set at rest. Going to the association meeting in the belief that he had well-pronoimc wl symptoms of malaria, the layman, after hearing the various papers road and discussed, arrived at the conclu sion that either one of a dozen differ ent diseases might be the one par ticular pet which his system harltor ed?or mayhap his trouble embraced them all. At any rate he left with a pronounced case of dandruff. But, to be serious, it was inspiring to listen to the men learned in medi cine tell of the work which they hud (lone for the relief of human suffer ing. The vast amount of study and of research work which the doctors had put into the subjects under dis cussion were evidenced hy thought ful and Instructive papers that were read ; and over and under all, under lying the hard work and the pains taking research and the systematic and orderly deduction of conclusions was the search for knowledge-knowl edge that would help to relieve the -lutterings of humanity and prolong human life. It was truly a revela tion and an inspiration. T ** n*\?\AHArtf onrtrv fhaJ unfit II Li ic; appairut rang iiwiu hiiii which the surgeons told of difficult and dangerous operations caused a slight shiver, the evident pleasure displayed in the consciousness that they had not only contributed to the well-being of a fellowman but had added to the sum of scientific knowl edge, was more than sufficient recom pense. But surgery was not the only branch of science under discussion. Diseases in which the knife is of no value were also handled in the same manner. Typhoid fever, tuberculo sis, diseases of childrenjand other ills to which human flesh is heir were fn l/An nrv ? ? >1 rJ AvnnnlnnnAa vnln f A/J iaivuu up nuu icutco iciawAi showing the results obtained by va rious methods of treatment. Ideas were interchanged as to the best means for detecting disease and for arresting its progress in the speediest manner. The doctors ot the Third District Society are a fine looking body ol men, who have apparently not neg lected the care of their own health while watching over that of other folks, nnd the manner in which they showed their appreciation of the ele gant dinner which their hosts had prepared for their refreshment evi denced the faith of the doctors in their own skill in disorders of th< gastronomic regions. May they live longand prosper and grow in knowledge that will help Ur all to live better, because healthier, and to live longer. AS TO GOOD ltOADS. The movement for good roads was inaugurated last Thursday under the most favorable circumstances. Whether the movement will culmi nate in success depends upon the manner in which the campaign i. managed from this time on. There appears to be a practicat unanimity of opinion that the building of good roads in Abbeville county would be of immense benefit to all citizens. The sentimeut at the meeting ap peared to be overwhelming in favox of taking a forward step along this I i dp As to the retirement of the bonds within the time stated by Supervisoi Stevenson, we are forced to think that, with all due respect to our su pervisor, he is a little off in his fig ures. It is hardly probable that four teen years would be sufficient time for the retirement of an issue of $250, 000. But be that as it may, the mat ter of great importance is an assur ance that the money, if voted, will be spent to the best possible advantage and in such a way that all portions ol the county will share equally in the benefits. The details of theexpendi ture will have to be worked out and the facts laid before the voters prioi to the election. While there is no agency that will mean more for the general develop ments of the county than the build ing of good roads, it is nevertheless trne that it will not prove an Eldo rado. It will take time to realize upon the investment, but if the re sults may not come as fast as some of us might wish, if the work is prop erly done and the roads are adequate ly maintained after construction w( can reasonably hope for an ultimate development that will meet the ex pectations of the most sanguine. The matter is one of the most im portant that has come before the peo pie of Abbeville county in many 'years and should have a full and fret discussion by all interested. Witl this end in view, The Press and Ban ner invites the citizens of AbbevilU county to express their views through its columns. We will welcome com munications bearing on any phase 01 the subject, providing they arc accompanied by the name of ^the au thor?not necessarily to be published but that the paper may know thai the writer is a bona fide citizen of the county who is interested in the gene ral welfare. Let us have a full discussion ol ways and means to achieve the besl results in order that we may avoid mistakes. This paper will gladly publish your ideas if they are worthy of consideration.

Claude A. Swanson) We have established our supremacy I In nearly every line oi human endea\- j or. We nave built by patriotic sacri- j lices a navy second to only Great' Britain in the great powers ot the! world. We today manufacture more goods ?han all of Britain and Europe combined. In railroads, mileage of railroads and facilities or transpor tation of that kind, we are unsur passed. The granaries of the world 'are on the plains of America. We rank supreme in finance, and the banking capital of the United States exceeds that of any nation in the . world, and the world's financial heart ; no longer throbs in London?it beats in Mom Vnrir anr) its nulsations affect the world. We have accomplished all tins, and yet in the most important matter of all in connection with hu man development, and the develop ment of the country we are far be hind all the civilized nations of the world. Now, why? Why is it that we establish our supremacy in every line of human endeavor, yet when it comes to road construction, our mud dy country roads are a disgrace to us and a disgrace to any civilized people? Now, there must be some reason for it. It has been the system of road construction that has prevailed in America. The Federal Government tries to unload it on the states; the states try to unload it on the counties; the counties try to unload it on the farms adjoining the public roatis; each striving to shift its proper bur den to other shoulders, and it is by that system that we are cursed with this wretched system of roads that is a disgrace to America. How did our system of highways commence? In old times the King of Great Britain had no money in his treasury. He had no armies, no' na vies; and he required the King's highway to be kept up through every county and every farm through which it passed, and that work was the contribution to national power, na tional greatness, and to the King's tronsiirv. That wretched system 1 continued in England until it was i nearly impossible to go ten miles out of London. But in the eighteenth cen tury Great Britain saw the folly of it; she saw it was utterly impossible to tax farms and communities to con struct a road that was of more na tional. than local interest; and the parliament of Great Britain started the system of making appropriations for certain roads entirely out of the Kritish treasury. Other roads were built by a joint atffion of parliament and the local communities; other roads entirely local were built by lo cal communities. By that combination Great Britain progressed in road building, and in a half century her roads were model roads and were imitated in all parts of the world. , I wish to make this assertion, that there is not a state in this Union that aas good roads today, that they naven't built by a combination of with rountv or io OlUie CApCUUlVUkv >T .?M r oal expenditures. In the last three or four years in Virginia more than six hundred miles of hard surface road has been built simply by an extension of state aid to local communities. What did the ;ocal communities do? They issued jonds until in some instances they iurnished nearly ten times as much as the state did. The time has now arrived for fed eral aid to good roads. If there is a party in the United States that does not favor it, if there is a president or man in power that does not favor it and stands as a bar to the develop , ment work, that party and that man should be put down before he will have a chance to say that the good ' roads in this country would be a hinderance to our civilization and to our development.?Progressive Farm er. FEED HORSES WITH JUDGMENT. > An Oklahoma ' reader wishes to know if cottonseed hulls and meal , are good feeds for horses and* mules 1 "Tharo npours to me the Da J O . AUVAV ~ ' thought that, meal cannot be led to ; work animals thu out the year, owing to its heat-developing properties. = There Is perhaps no reason why. ' cottonseed hulls and meal may not be feed to horses and mules, but it . is quite certain that feeding cotton seed hulls and meal without other feeds will prove more unsatisfactory, as a horse feed, than they have as an . exclusive ration for cattle. In fact, i horses do not handle rough feeds of low nutritive value, like cottonseed J hulls, advantageously, and we do not F advise their use at all for horse feed > ing. Of Course, a small quantity may be fed, but certainly not more than ' one-third the roughage should be I made up of hulls. Horses and mules may do fairly well on hulls and meal for a time, but the ration lacks va riety, and the hulls are too low in nu I tritive value for horse feeding. On . the other hand, cottonseed meal alone will not prove suitable to take the the place of the grain ration. ? By all means let us avoid the feed ing of horses on cottonseed meal and , hulls, and nothing else, as we nave done with cattle. They never were a good constant ration for cattle, and they are less suitable for horses and mules. In the feeding of horses and mules two to three pounds of cotton seed meal a day mu?< limit, because they cannot use more of a feed so rich in protein to good advantage. As to hulls, we ddvise against their use at all for horses and mules; but if hay is scarce, or high-priced, three to five pounds of hulls a day may be fed, to take the place of a small quantity of hay Cottonseed meal is frequently spok en of as "heating." The same is said of "corn," an entirely different kind of feed. It seems more nearly correct to speak of corn as a "heating" feed than of cottonseed meal, because corn is richer in heat r.nd energy-producing elements; but the fact seems to be that no feed is a "heating" feed, in the sense the term is generally used, unless fed in lar&e quantity. Cotton seed meal may be fed at any time or season to working horses and mules, if it does not constitute more than one fifth or one-sixth of the grain ration. In fact, a ration of one part cottonseed meal and five parts corn will not be a more "heating" ration, if as much so, as a ration of corn alone.?Pro gressive Farmer.
