Avoid annoyance from our ^ collectors by sending us a remittance ^ t at once. The Manager. ? n STREET PAVING. * , Abbeville is woefully behind other w c cities of its size in the construction of 0; \i, permanent streets. It is bad enough to hehind with cement sidewalks, gj especially when they cau be con- g< structed at so little cost, but it is in- ti finitely worse to be without some n kind of paved streets in the congested tl sections of the city. We believe d there are ten miles of streets in Abbe- ti ville. We are told that a good permanent street can be built lor $2,600 n per mile. We are paying now about h * five or six thousand dollars each year tl ^ for street work, perhaps more, h . Would it not be more advisable to n bnild two miles of permanent streets w with this each year, and let the other a streets stand until they could be u rather than keeD ud the pre- h sent system of working the streets ? k The city builds one day and the rain carries off the work the next day. It 0 makes no difference how good the 0 work done on a street is, it is only of ^ temporary benefit. Of course the public square and Main street, and the two streets leading to the railway stations should be paved with a paving material sufficient to stand the heaviest traffic. ^ I '* Just what that is, we do not know n f but the city council can ascertain. o The question always comes up n ^ about the wherewithal, and that is a o V pertinent question always. The city ll can issue bonds for the purpose stat- g ied, but we do not favpr any increase V in our bonded indebtedness at pre- b sent. The other public utilities are is now self-supporting, we believe, and gradual extensions are being made ft out of the revenue therefrom. This si is as it should be. But there will be 1 no income from paved streets except d indirectly, and we must look to some si other method of building them. We tl believe these streets can be built by n direct taxation, a few miles each year, p without much additional cost to the 1< city. With the new assessment oi v property which is soon to be made, C ' """ and the correction of inequalities in tl the present assessment, we may ex- \ pcct to have several thousand dollars v* added to the present assessment in h the city, 'mere is 100 mucn pruper- ? ty in this place which is not bearing tt its just proportion of the burdens of IV taxation. Pending a re-assessment, we shall call no names, but we are w here to see that every man pays his e< part of the taxes of the city and coun- ei ty, and we shall not hesitate at the k proper time to name those who are si in default. No man has a right to d escape his just burden in the support n of the government. No man shall do tl it with the consent of this paper. But the question now is as to the p building of streets. If the additional p money coming into the city treasury 01 in this way if not sufficttfet. to begin A on, letus pay-an extra mill or two, v and let rw take at least one-half of fe what is now expenfie(l on the streets fa in building permanently. V But the question 1b, who will do h the work and how shall it be done? tl That is one question we started out h; to answer. We have a most capable tl and efficient supervisor of the streets oi at present. We shook! by all means n keep him. He has learned to build ol water-works, and be can build per- qi manent streets, if the city gives him the facilities. He should be promoted to the position of City Engineer, rpJieved of his duties as Chief of Police. We imagine Mr. Johnson tj would be glad of the change. It is h too exacting to have one man in gj charge of two departments of the city q on the small salary which Mr. John- eI son receives. The position of City j Engineer is considerably more im- fc ^ , portant to the city than that of Chief ^ k v of Police and should command a bet- p ter salary. The one builds perma- v nently, and his works live after him; jj the other has no constructive work v to do, and can build no monument to 3 himseif. Of course, we can employ a j trained engineer to do this work, but y wilt he be practical ? Will he be g honest ? Will he be industrious ? a) Will he always consult the interests ri of the city ? Will he know how to y handle the labor? These arequali- p ties of far greater value in a man than ^ a little technical training. 0| But Mr. Johnson can get the ne- ^ cessary technical training. We be- ^ lieve, in these days, colleges and cl ^^^chools of learning find it worth 0| 'hile to set aside sums of money to ive their instructors special courses uring the vacations, and these in- } iructors are required to take the aurses in order to keep up; the doc- , >rs, the dentists, and even the minsters must take courses of study from . ear to year; the lawyer takes his all he while, he attends his conventions nd bar associations; the engineers nd contractors have their convenions and go to the cities to get the ( ttest thought in their lines; archi- ' sets study the architecture of every lime; bankers in the country go to he great metropolis from time to ime to get wisdom. And the city ouncil should arrange for its street uilder to attend for a few weeks ach year some school of engineering i order to learn street building. He hould be sent for a week or more to he cities, where this work is going n all the while, in order to see it one; or better still, why not let the ity employ some engineer during he summer from a school of engieering to come here and take his uting showing Mr. Johnson how to < o the work? We do uot believe it 1 rill take any great amount of study, 1 ? ?v> /\*% w> 4- /Ia t ur auy gient aujuuui ui piwuvai uc- ' lonstration to ^nable Mr. Johnson ) build as good streets as any enineer in the country. In a little ( 'hile he will be able to lay any kind * f pavement the city desires. We advocate the building of these :reets by the city for a n umber of reajns. It will be a great deal cheaper,' le contractor will not be in copartership with the engineer planning le work, and then the work can be ( one gradually, and added to from ] me to time. These ideas may be crude; there ; jay be those tin the council who ave better ideas. But we do know 1 fiat we should get out of "sleepy < ollow." We are spending too much loney for the accruing results. And . re need Mr. Johnson on the streets } 1J the while. Labor these days is ( nsatisfactory enough even with the est of supervision, especially the ind of labor we employ in the South; ; is entirely unsatisfactory unless ' distantly under the watchful eye 1 f the employer. The matter delves consideration. 'EKTILIZER AND ECONOMY < We do not agree with Mr. 8. J. Vakefleld in his opinion that not luch good came out of the meeting ' n the 13th. If the meeting shall do < othing more than call for the letter ! f Mr. Wakefield published in this < sue, it will have accomplished a 1 ood deal. The meeting caused Mr. 1 Vakefleld to think; and when men egin to think something beneficial i generally the result. } At the same time, we#agree with , Ir. Wakefield that the discussions tiould have been led by experts, 'he gentlenflen who undertook to .iscuss the questions presented did y upon invitation, and did the best ' bat they could do. But at farmers leetings, farmers should talk?ex- * erts?not experts from Clerason Col- 1 jge necessarily, but men who know ' rhat they are talking about. If the bunty Demonstrator had turned le subject of Fertilizer over to Mr. "] Wakefield, or to some others whom 1 re could mention, the subject would 1 ave been treated from a scientific as ( 'ell as practical standpoint, and de- i lils would have been given just as t [r. Wakefield does in his letter. But the letter is still in time. It is porth reading and worth nqoney to ^ very farmer in the county. Let evry farmer read it. If he does not now how to fertilize, he should con lit Mr. Wakefield or some man who oes know, and give his land what it 4 eeds, just as he feeds his stock what 1 Jiey need. ^ [ * 8 In a few weeks we shall begin to f rint an eight page paper?all home i rint. We have already set aside ne of these pages for the farmers of t .bbeville county. We expect to in- 8 ite them, and we now invite them, > discuss all questions, relating to irming on this page. We hope Mr. 8 Wakefield will write again. We ' ope other farmers will write what ^ ley know; what their experience as been; and we hope, too, that lose who do not know this or the t rKaw tVhSrifv will mal/Q inmiirSoa Km? l/liCl luiug r? in uiuav ivu wj | leans of the space assigned and that t ther farmers will answer thes^ in- r uiries. We want discussion. E JUDGE ERNEST MOORE. Judge Ernest Moore, of Lancaster, ie Judge of the Sixth Circuit, is olding the Court of General Sesons. Judge Moore succeeded Judge eorge W. Gage, when the latter was ected to the position of Associate ustice of the SuDreme Court. Be >re his elevation to the Bench, Judge 8 [oore was frequently called upon to * reside over special terms of Court in arious parts of the State. We be- * eve he held his first Court in Abbe- 4 ille. He comes from a family of ^ istinguished lawyers, and was a tading member of the Bar of the tate before his elevation to the lench.

Sot so long ago we sat in a meeting with him while the accounts dtie s business concern were being discussed by the gentlemen present, Dne had one suggestion to make and >ne another, but our man did not en ?r much into the discussion. ,Occasionally, however, a name would b< jailed which seemed to interest him ind his comment in all such case: svas this,?"Twist." If the gentlemen on Green vill< street who are to give the new side walk seem a little slow (it seems U t>e taken for granted that Mrs. Per rin has no objection to giving hei part of it) we would suggest to Citj Council to "twist" a little, and ther i little.

A right or wrong start in 1915 will make or break most farmers in the Cotton States. We are all facing a crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is upset. The supply merchant cannot advance supplies on 1915 cotton. You [ must do your best to produce on your [ own acres the food and grain supplies t that have made up most of your store [ debt in the past. L A good piece of garden ground, [ rightly planted, rightly tended and t kept planted the year round, can be ? made to pay half your living.
