As the time approaches for the great national corn exposition at Co lumbia, it might be well to call at tention to one feature upon which stress has been laid of late. This is me nom^-cuming jeaiure. oouie time during: the summer the mayors of all towns in the State were re quested to issue proclamations invit ing all former citizens of the State to visit their old homes during the ex position. Those having relatives in [)ther States were asked to write and invite the absent ones to visit their native State. Little more than a month remains in which to do this, tnd the slogan should be "do it now." Perhaps no county has made a anger contribution to the population )f other States than has old Abbe ville, whose sons have been almost lmformly successful in their new lomes. It would be pleasantto have nany of these home again, and the orn exposition would afford an ex- ( client opportunity for them to come, f you haven't written, do it now. I WEAPON POK PROHIBI TION. For more than ten years the prohi- < >itionists of this country have advo ated the passage of a law by Con- I :ress which would prohibit the im- < >ortation of liquor into prohibition { Itates from wet territory. A Repub- < ican Congress has set its face against i II efforts for the enactment of such I law, and, with the aid of Speaker i !i?innii hu? munuixul ?? t'hrnlf.lo till jgislatlon in the lower branch oi ?

We have not before us ful particulars as to the provisions of this measure, but if the claims made fo: it have been correctly stated in sev eral publications, it will prove jt ver itable bomb in the liquor camp. Th< immunity from seizure by State au thorities which shipments of liquoi have enjoyed has done more to nul lify prohibition laws than any othei condition. Prflctiml nrnhihifinn will i be nearer of attainment upon the passage of such a law than it ha." e/er been. A well-known writer on national questions is authority for the state ment that the prospects of the pas sage of such a law through thejiouse seem quite favorable. The vote on this measure will be 'watched with interest throughout the country. LOSS AND GAIN. Reading the will of Dr. John de la Howe, one is forcibly reminded of tho <>)ianrrou urhi(>li Imvo tnlfnn tiliU'n in the country since the death of this pub i t benefactor. One paragraph in the will, which prescribes to some extent a course of study for the boys and girls which might with profit be inciudedlin the curriculum of the ag ricultural high schools that will in time to come be established through out the rural communities, is quite interesting. How many of our girls of today are familiar wilh the ele mentary principles of chemistry, upon a correct knowlege of which depends the success of such operations as "malting, brewing, distill i n g i baking, fixing different colors, inak ing vinegar, soap, cheese, butter, etc." We have delegated toour manufac turing enterprises practically all of these operations, and the knowledgei w hlch underlies them is not common to the boys and girls of our time, and is not taught to any great extent ex cept at universities. But education generally is today far more common than in the times >f Dr. dela Howe, aod the boy or *irl who fails to secure a fair knowl edge of the rudiments of < ducation is lot taking advantage of the oppor tunities with which he or she is sur rounded. In this issue of The Press and Ban ler is published a debate by two foung h dies of the Monterey school 11 this county which are excellent nodels of composition as well for rlearness of thought as for excellence >f diction unci forcef'ulness of expres sion.

Ths results obtained in such r schools as Monterey are an inspira - tion for them to push forward in the great work of education. That the I two papers mentioned should have s been the work of pupils without the i special advantages which students in many city schools enjoy emphasizes the fact that money expended upon rural schools of the right sort is not wasted. : Let the good work go on. COUPLING HISTORICAL FACTS. An interesting article on the Su preme Court and on the chief justices of the Supreme Court is contributed by Mr. W. W. Bradley in this issue of The Press and Banner. None of the school histories give the record I complete on this subject and this ar jticle will be of value in tilling in the omissions. Mr. Bradley's (lata is compiled from perfectly reliable j sources and may be accepted. We note that Chief Justice Eug< ne B. Gary is the only chief justice that Abbeville County has to her credit. Judge Gary has some marked cliar ( acteristics that especially fit him for 1 that honorable position .in these days of corporate greed. \ First amongst these we would mention his disregard of technicali ties in arriving at the right. The humblest litigant may be sure of re ceiving justice at his hands, no mat ter with what sophestry the law and the facts may have been entangled. i t i n . ~l. 1 ~ 4. i juuge uary is an auit? juri?i, prumpi in delivering his opinions, and untir ng in studying the cases in hand. Judge Gary has attained distinc tion in writing for law journals. Three of his addresses on. phases of the law were published in full in a hading law journal of California and two in the Medico Legal Journal of New York. On one occasion when Justice Gary had made an address before the Bar Association of the State, ex-Justice Alton B. Parker, of the Supreme Court of New York, was present, and asked permission to interrupt the proceedings to say that "he could not remain silent and would like to congratulate South Carolina on having at the head of lu r judiciary a man who would be stow such labor on and produce such a paper." Judge Gary is distinctly a man of nn/l intvwinfo in till? auu iua aiiaiiiiiiruio m the law, his fairness and his energy preeminently fit him to serve them in the position he occupies.
