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

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.

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.
