NO CANDIDATES. v So far no one has announced as a candidate for any of the county offices, and we have heard of but one candidate for the legislautre. So far as the county offices aTe concerned, we presume that the incumbents will offer if no one else does, and, therefore, they will not go begging. ' But we are not so sure about candidates for the legislature. Mr. J. Howard Moore, who has repTe-j sented the county for several terms heretofore, is now a candidate for the state senate, and, Dr. Neuffer, the other incumbent, has not yet announced whether he will make the race or not. The chances are that he will be unable to do so, though it is possible that he may, if he can so arrange his affairs as to make it practicable. The calling of a number of physicians from this county for service in the army, however, makes it a matter of great concern "aawIa Vava wrliflfVior or nut fcu UIC UU6 TT.KWVUV* ?. ?_ Dr. Nenffer should make the race even if he so desires. The other physicians here could hardly handle the business of he were away, should three doctors from the county be called into the service of the government !-!.! 'V'*'" ' There are many men in Abbeville county in addition to those named fully competent to represent the county in the legislature. It is to be regretted that these men will not consent to run for office. The bit~lerness of factional politics in the <. past has kept them from offering ^ their services to the state, but it is to be hoped that these men, or some one or more 9f them^ will lay aside personal preferences and givff Jbe people a chance to select them al representatives. We have no choice as to who the representatives are, but we are interested in seeing the county represented by men who - ? '? ??A- -J XL- - ? know tfte neeas ana warns 01 me jiev pie, and who will be loyal to the government in its hour of need. It is not a time for factional politics, but a'time to select men who are able and loyal. Any of 'the fallowing men would represent Abbeville County with credit to themselves and the county: E. W. Harper, Henry Moseley, R. L. Barmore, S. J. Wakefield, M. J. Ashley, R. S. Galloway, D. H. Hill, W. A. Calvert, James Gibert, James ftilliam. H. T. Mcllwaine. Joseph Hicks, Frank W. Wilson, P. B. Carwile. There are scores of others Among these, men will have their ^personal preferences, but we mention their names to show that there \ are men in the county who are able to serve the county acceptably. Perhaps a hundred more men would serve it just as acceptably as any of these. If no one will run why may not i A j.1 1 ?1. me people come togeuier ?uu asn. somebody to run. We should not wait until the last minute and allow the office of representative . to go begging in this county nor should we pllow it to be filled by men whom the people would not select if there were more suitable men in the field. So far as we are concerned any two loyal men of Abbeville county of sufficient acquaintance with public affairs and sufficient ability to properly represent the county will be acceptable to us. But men of this class should be called into service j KQLOSSAL KANON KULTUR. 4 Mr. ClurliM P. Prewly Write? About the Big Gun?Paris Calm Proud to Be An American. The following letter has been received from Mr. Charles P. Pressly, American Vice Consul at Paris, under date of May 29: The long-range cannon, familiarly knon as Big Bertha and Kolossal Kultur Kanon opened up again on Paris last Sunday, the 26th of May, at 6 A. M. and has continued to boom intermittently since then. The French artillerymen are evidently getting the range and are dropping shells all around her. Yesterday sometimes for two or three hours she remained silent. This shows that the French shells have been killing the Hun gunners in charge of the mojnster, or have thrown shells on her or too close for her to operate in her wanton bombardment of barbarous violation of the rules of warfare. Thus far the damage has been slight to person and to property. The people are becoming accustomed to the bombardment or int ? amerem zo ic. Liie goes on m uic streets and in the shops almost as usualand in the cafes Big Bertha is almost a joke. Of course there is always some danger; and there will be some damage, but as a wea-, pon of war it is almost as trifling' as a German toy from Nuremberg. The terror of the thing has passed, and very few people have left the city because of it. Last Sunday during the afternoon of the first day of the new bombardment the boulevards and parks of Paris were simply alive and thronged with civilians out for an airing and soldiers in town on leave. Every one seemed [ cheerful, confident. We have had two or three attempts at night-raids by the Hum during the past week. Only one air-plane of 30 got over the city. The defenses of Paris were never So effective and well-organized. It is very difficult for an enemy airplane to get through the debse and ' blinding barage fire put up by the guns'posted in the forts and on the heights all around the city. The French are a wonderful people; and the world has never seen better soldiers. The spirit of the people is most admirable, worthy of all praise and deserving of the support and encomiums of the world. This is the 1395th day of the dreadful war, waged largely on the soil of France; and yet we find them fighting as bravely and dying as cheerfully and gloriously as they did during the battle of the Marne in September, 1914. It will remain for all time a resplendent page in the history of civilization and of humanity. The American soldiers are going into this great contest by the thousands; evtfy day brings report of their heroism in the trenches and on the battle-line. They are upholding with valor and defending with glory the cause and flag of our country. I am proud to be an American citizen. Charles P. Pressly. i CEN. FRANK PARKER. Col. Francis Le J. Parker' has been named for promotion to Brigadier-General, which will be agreeable news to friends around Abbeville. The New York Times says cf Gen. Parker: "Francis L. J. Parker of the cavalry, is from South Carolina, a West Pointer of the class of 1894, and is 45 years old." COL. SPARKS A PRIVATE. Col. Joe Sparks, who made such an enlightening speech here during the War Savings Stamp campaign, has been drafted for active service and has been assigned to Camp Wadsworth. He goes in as a private but we hope will soon rise to | the rank of Colonel, a title which was gained as an aide on Governor Maning's staff. Col, Sparks has long been connected with the State newspaper and is well known over South Carolina. DIPLOMA AWARDED. The State Department of Educacation has awarded State High School diplomas to all four year high , school graduates. Miss Frances Jossett DuPre, of Abbeville, has re'ceived this honor, according to a report in The State Sunday.
