THE VETERANS.
i <
The people of the city of Abbe- ^
ville and of the whole county will (
be delighted to know that the Confederate
Veterans will hold the an- j
nual reunion in this city next year.
Mayor Gambrell and the committee j
of citizens who secured the reunion ,
for Abbeville will have the thanks '
of our people.
t The veterans themselves express
pleasure that they will again meet (
on Secession Hill and hold their ^
reunion in the city where the Con- (
y- federacy dissolved. It is fitting that .
they should hold one of the reunions ^
, towards the close of their careers
in this historic little city.
The people of Abbeville have entertained
visitors before. But they
have not entertained any other body
of visitors who gave as much pleasure
to their hosts as these brave men
will give. The city will outdo itself
in the effort to make next year's
reunion one of the best and happiest
the veterans have attended.
[THE HOG ORDINANCE.
In Belton a few nights ago an
p . ordinance was introduced at ,the
meeting of the city council proposing
the repeal of a former ordinance
prohibiting the raising and keeping
n# hftm urifhin fha ll'mitjj T)lP
matter being under discussion, one
' member finally proposed that the
matter be referred to the city Board
of Health, as this body, being composed
of medical men, was better
prepared to pass on the question
than the members of council, who
were laymen.
Without the matter being at issue
in the recent election, the present
city council, several of whose members
have just been elected, a few
nights ago adopted an ordinance to
allow the keeping of hogs within
the city limits of Abbeville ' under
certain restrictions, by which it is
i . sought to make a hog sanitary. The
council in our judgment, might with
great propriety have left this matter
to the Board of Health in this
digr* it 19 ^cucrau)r omcitcu ouiuug
medical men, we believe, that the
hog is one of the chief causes of
typhoid fever. If this is true the
members of the Board of Health
were and are better equipped to investigate
the subject and pass on it
than any layman.
If we are to have hogs within the
, , ,
corporate limits, every restriction
thrown around the keeping of them
is wise, and the city council, having
this in mind, has provided that a hog
must be kept in a pen with at least
twelve hundred square feet of area,
with additional area for each hog in
addition. The pens must not be
within fifty yards of a residence.
This is all very w6ll. But the members
of the city council might have
considered that these provisions
make it impossible for the average
man without means to raise hogs
within the city, and that a privilege
is thereby conferred on those able
to take care of themselves otherwise
and at the expense of their less
fortunate neighbors, that is, if the
keeping of hogs within the city limits
is a menace to good health. The
council should have considered that
only men of ample means are able
to own enough land within the city
limits to comply with the regulations
they have made. As those who
are most in need cannot comply
with the regulations, it would have
been better, in our judgment, that a
serious cause of disease be not introduced
into the community for
the benefit of a very few individuals.
THE WAR.
The people of the United States
are learning that the entry of this
country into the world war means
no child's play for them. The present
government in Germany is fighting
not only to win the war but for
its very existence. The years of
.preparation for war coupled with the
fighting qualities of the Germans,
and along with this,' the fact that
, it is the best organized government
on earth, with every man a man of
education, makes the German army
a fightine force not easily to be con- V
tended with. \
It is evident too that not much is S
to be expected from the new govern- ^
ment in Russia. The internal troubles
in that country incident to the
overthrow of the old government
and the establishment of a democra- j]
cy, with the fact that the people do
not have thai; interest in affairs
which the people of other countries
evidence, and the seeking of a sep- n
arate peace by at least a good portion
of the Russian people, at least c
for the present, removes them from 0
the map as a serious fighting "force. n
The war muBt be settled then on j,
the Western front where Germany j
will be free to use her combined v
army against the allies. That the j
war is not over is evident. If Ger- 0
many is partly starved it must be e
remembered that France and England
are suffering from the same 0
fate. It is for this reason that the ^
United States, having entered the jj
:onflict, is preparing to wage war in e
real earnest, and for an indefinite n
length of time if necessary. c
Whatever differences of opinion v
have existed amongst our people as e
to the proper and best way to or- S(
janize and equip an army will dis- j
appear' now that a plan has been n
adopted by congress, and the people ?
sf the entire country will undertake j,

forces of this country depends the ^

THE FLAG. d
r
All day long in the city's canyoned ^
street, a
Through a forest of watching folk ^
on either side,
I saw a river of marching men like a
tide, *
Flowing after the flag; 1
And the bugle's resonant blare ?
Metred the tramp, tramp of a myriad
feet,
While the Red, White and Blue 1
was fluttering everywhere, 1
And the heart of the crowd 1
Kept time to a martial air I
0 brave flag, 0 bright flag,
0 flag to lead the free! i
The glory of thy silver stars ]
Engrailed in blue above the bars c
Of red for courage, white for truth,
Shall bring the world a second youth .
And draw a countless human host, 1
To follow after thee.
First of the flags on earth to dare ]
A heraldry so high;
First of the flags on earth to bear
The blazons of the sky,
Long may the constellation glow, S
Foretelling happy fate;
Wider the starry circle grow? i
And every star a state.
0 bright flag, 0 brave flag, I
0 flag to lead the free! t
The hand of God thy colors blent,
And heaven to earth thy gloi^ lent,
Tho' shield the weak and guide the J
strong, '
To make an end of human wrong
And draw a hundred million human
hearts
To follow thee. 1

llness of two weeks. Mr. Jordon
ustained a fall some days ago. This
et ud other troubles. He gradually
Tew worse until last Saturday

One of the very interesting events
f the season was the celebration of
be Castalian literary society of the
Roman's College on last Monday
vening. There were no dull molents
in the experience of the large
rowd present. Quite a number of
isitors from a distance were presnt.
The exercises were fresh and
ome features entirely new. The
ebate, being on a subject that is
ow absorbing the attention of the
Jnited States, was intensely interest
rig. The fair debaters proved to
e stout champions of their respecive
sides. They spoke from notes,
ield in their hands, with freedom of
iction. The telling points were preented
with force and emphasis. The
lebate discovered research and much
eading. Patriotism was in the air.
)ne wondered what side would be
iwarded the decision. The judges |
rere: Mr, R. F. Morris of Willington
md Rev. M. R. Plaxco of Abbeville,
ind Judge McCullough of Greenville,
and gave their decision to the
tffirmative.
The back of the stage was draped
n a large United States flag, 8 by
L5 feet, made by the society. At
the close of the exercises Miss Burns
;he president, in a choice presentaion,
turned over the flag in the
