HOW T^O SAVE.
In another column of this paper
will be found an advertisement of
** M J T A coAniofinn
tne cuiiaing' mm uuau
of Abbeville. It is there stated that
the company will in a few days pay
out about ten thousand dollars, and
since its organization it has paid out
about seventy-five thousand dollars
to its stockholders.
This institution has given the people
of Abbeville a lesson in saving.
We believe that the stockholders of
this corporation have accumulated
the sums of money mentioned by
making small monthly payments
which have not been missed. Enough
money has been saved in this way to
establish a bank with a capital stock
equal to that of any bank in the
county.
Some years ago, in the panicy
times of the nineties, when a citizen
of the town was complaining of the
hard times and another citizen stated
that he could always make a living
no matter how much hard times we
had, the first replied that anyone
could make a living but the average
man wanted to improve his condition
from year to year. A great many
men do not improve their conditions
because they do not know how to
begin and the means of so doing
seems entirely beyond their reach.
The Building and Loan Association
furnishes to these people a way
to accumulate- It offers the advantage
of a savings bank, and in addition
to this, it offers the further advantages
of better interest returns
and a compulsory monthly payment
The young men and women in the
city who are drawing monthly salaries
would do well to talk over the
plan of this institution with Mr.
Morse. There is no time better to
commence saving than the present.
PLANT GRAIN.
Vr
The farmers of Abbeville county
should not be induced to leave . off
the phmting of small grain by the
present good price of cotton. Cotton
is .bringing a good price largely becaufe
more cotton was used last season'than
was made in the crop year
of ^914-15, and because the present
crop' is unusually short. We shall
be surih-ised if cotton goes to
twenty cents per pound. We do not
expect it to go much lower than it is
*t present.
And therein lies the danger. Instead
of continuing to plant small
(rain, corn, peas, and other food
products wherewith to live at home,
we fear that a great many farmers
will go back to the one crop plan and
raise all cotton next year. If such
should be the case, and an enormous
crop should be raised, we shall see
lower prices again. Better to keep
up the causes which give us the good
prices than to kill the goose which
is laying the golden egg.
The wise farmer will, therefore,
unaertaKe to Keep tne wave 01 prosperity
from subsiding, and he will
induce his neighbor to see the situation
as he does, and the farmers in
their organizations, if they would
serve the public good, will induce
their members to continue their
farming operations on the same plan
as that adopted in the last two years.
Then the farmer will be king, and
cotton his chief source of revenue.
WAREHOUSE INSURANCE.
Now that the warehouse system is
gaining a footing throughout the
south, and the warehouse industry
shows signs of being able to stand
alone, we suggest that the warehouses
should begin to carry their own insurance.
The cotton mills and other corporations
which do business throughout
the country have their mutual insurance
asociations, operated on
the same general plan by which the
farmer's insurance companies are
operated in the rural districts. We
know that some of the insurance in
these corporations is written at a rate
of about one-half that charged by
the standard fire insurance companies,
and besides a good dividend is
annually returned to the insured
members. There is no reason why
the same plan would not work with
the warehouses.
And if the state is to guarantee
the solvency of these warehouses,
and to stand behind the warehouse
1 - ?-' ?- ?
receipts, mere is nu icbovu nuj m.*.
state should not carry this insurance
as it does upon public buildings. It
could be done, and an enormous
amount of money could be saved to
the holders of cotton. Acording to
the report of Commissioner McLauin,
something like $80,000 was paid
out last year for insuranpe premiums,
on cotton stored in state warehouses,
and the losses amounted to less than
. two thousand dollars. . This will
not happen every year, but insurance
premiums are too high, and something
should be done- to save the
planters of the state the enormous
charges collected by the insurance
companies.
MANNING'S RE-ELECTION.
The Press and Banner was not one
of the original supporters of Governor
Manning in the campaign which
has just clased. We did not approve
of much of the legislation which he
fathered and which was placed on
the statute books during his first
term. Nevertheless, we said before
and during the campaign that Governor
anning, left to himself, would
have made fewer errors than he did
make, because we knew that his heart
beat true for South Carolina. And
his measures were not all bad. He
did a good work at the State Hospital.
He fought the blind tigers of
Charleston to a finish, and taught
that city that the law must' be respected.
And in the administration of the
law he stood for the constitution and
for the enforcement of the mandates
of the courts. He respected the
other departments of government,
and sought to serve the people of
the state irrespective of factional
differences. He knew neither friend
nor foe in the adminstration of the
law.
For Jthat reason, when Mr. Cooper
was no longer a candidate, we were
for Governor Manning. And his
election gives us pleasure as it aoes
that great body of thinking people of
South Carolina who would see the
laws faithfully executed, who would
have society protected from the
crimes of the lawless, who believe
that the' liquor laws of the state
should be enforced in Charleston, and
every other city, just as they are in
Abbeville, who would see the wards
of the state properly treated in a
hospital, which is a real hospital, and
who would see the state in peace at
home and respected abroad.
COOPER SAVED1 THE DAY.
The Columbia Record, in our judgment,
correctly sizes up the situa
tion when it says tnat ine entry 01
Mr. Cooper in the race for Governor
saved the day. In the first race the
Blease forces were organized to a
finish. Neither Governor Manning
nor Mr. Cooper had a real organization
in the state. If either had been
in the race alone with Mr. Blease the
chances are that the latter would
have been elected on the first ballot.
The result of the first primary was
enough to teach us that there is
little merit in newspaper advertise
ment and in the distribution of circulars
in a primary election. Real
results are accomplished by an organized
fight such as Ws made for
Mr. Blease in the first race and by
the friends of Governor Manning in
the second race.
BUYING VOTES.
There are few men in Abbeville
county, if any, who would sell their
votes for even an unimportant office.
An offer to buy the vote of the average
man would be such an insult
as would likely result in violence.
It may be said, too, that oftentimes
two good men run for office
and it is a matter of indifference
which is elected, and the elector may
cast his ballot for either and serve
the interests of the state.
The latter fact has given rise to a
practice of trading votes on election
days,,which may seem entirely harmless
on the face of things, but which
in its evil results may be as bad or
worse than vote buying. If a man
may be induced to vote for a bad man
1.'--.: I.JC -i' J. . . -...Ai-c/.-: . ;
fnr ?n imnortant office in order to <
obtain a vote for a favorite candidate '
in whom he is interested, and if he 1
makes a trade of this kind even
without intending actual wrong, he
thereby puts it in the power of designing
persons in an indirect way,
to buy votes and to elect unworthy <
men to office.
There is no safe way to serve the
public interest at the ballot box ex- ;
cept for every man to vote his own i
ticket according to his own reason 1
and conscience. The profesional 1
vote trader may be a vote buyer. j

THE NEED OF
PROMPT MAINTENANCE
There are a good many persons,
who really believe in the maintenance
of highways, who have the
very mistaken opinion that little
money need be spent for several
years on a new road which has been
constructed at a heavy cost As a
matter of fact, there may be heavy
expenses during the first five years,
which are called maintenance but
