I AIKEN AND DOMINICK IN ABBEVILLE (Continued from Page 1.) j when he opposed many measure: I favored by President Wilson Among them were: the declaratior of war, the draft act, national pro hibition, the espionage act, the sol dier (volunteer) vote to give th< States credit for volunteers, tht censor bill, and the daylight saving i bill. Mr. Dominick also voted aj gainst his party in voting to purge I from the record the "patrotic' I speech of Representative Heflin oi Alabama and he absented himseli from th vote on making Guam anc the Hawaian Islands dry. All thes< positions, being in opposition to th< administration, show that Dominicl is not the man to properly supporl the President in these trying times -Following the Congressional speeches ,the candidates for th< State Legislature enlightened thos< persons-remaining as to their respec tive merits and capacities for mak ing laws at Columbia. AT WHITMIRE. But I started to write of th< meeting. Mr. Wyatt Aiken, in th< face of ttie statement he was under stood to have made, at Newberry was present at Whitmire. There were some 250 people present anc they gave both the speakers verj careful and respectful attention. ThV meeting was opened with prayer bj the Rev. A. H. Best of the Methodist church, Mr. Aiken was the firsl I speaker. Mr. Aiken made a verj I ??? "*"3 HA??1 VA wonf conservative utm mm oaiu u? nu..v ed to be fair and not misrepresenl any one, and if he made a mistake he would always be glad to make the proper apology. He said he die not make up his mind to run foi congress until just a short time before the campaign opened, but wher he found that no one else was going to oppose Mr. Dominick he decidec to do so. He made no charges against Dominick further than tc quote several votes which were re corded in the. Record and to stat< that Dominick had voted against th< administration. And in the matte] of the soldiers relief bill which Dom | inick had been charged with voting against by a friend of Aiken, ad mitted afterwards that he did nol know anything about that publica tion. People who heard his speech v al Newberry and who also heard it al Whitmire say he did not make th? same character of speech at all. ] do not say so, because I did not heai the Newberry speech, and I do nol | say he made a different one becausc I Dominick was present. But certainlj | there was no fire in his Whitmire j speech and no charges such as I un] derstand he made at Newberry. H< j did not mention Lieutenant Workj man He received no applause wher * ) f* j he arose nor when he sat down. He j said that Dominick had put out ol j office some of his appointees, and j also said that he had removed some i who had voted against him. Ir other words he was sticking to his friends just like a sensible mar would do, but criticised Dominick for doing the same. Congressman Dominick arose amid liberal applause and was given applause throughout his speech and at ! its conclusion, showing very decidedly that the audience was with hiir He explained his votes referred to by Mr. Aiken, but stated that at this time it was not proper to discuss the war or the reason for enering it, but that since this country ' 1 +V.Q mof Vio VmH stnnri UttU ClllCXCU WI1V ?w squarely behind the president in all the war measures and the business of the country now was to win the war, and for those of us who were at home to stand behind our boys over there and do our part to sustain and maintain them while they were in the firing line. He also pointed out wherein Mr. Aiken had misquoted him on his vote on the espionage act and the soldiers relief. He claimed that the record would bear out the statement that he had done as much in the matter of constructive legislation in the 18 s' months that he had been in congress las Aiken had in his 14 years of j service. He also referred to his t speech on the third liberty loan act j. by which he had caused the great ; ways and means committee to recall .'the bill and have it modified to cons'form to the views exprsesed by him ; in his speech, and this after the bill \ j had been passed over his protest, I and by this act had saved thousands j of dollars in taxes to the people of jtne state. 3 Mr. Aiken had referred in hisj . speech to having seen large bags of i seed accredited to Mr Dominick| which had not been delivered to the' people and thought it should not1 ? be, that the people were entitled to! ; get the seed allotted to the con-j ; gressman, and in replying Mr. Dominick said he had sent out all: ! seed alloted to his district promptly j ' and if they were not delivered he, I could not help it, and then he called; f attention to the fact that quite a I bunch of documents and government' i publications which were his in the J ; order of succession had been senti c by Mr. Aiken'to a negro in Wash-j t ington, one P.. Bailey, and not to j . the voters of the district. In reply 1 Mr. Aiken could not at first recall } the matter, but finally remembered i that he had sent a number of old documents to one Pinckney Bailey, 1 a famous democratic negro, who | lived in Washington but came from i a Louisiana district, and that they ? - an/1 TlO' I were nounng uut aw??,iowv? j did not think they were worth turn-' ; ing over to his successor.?New. berry Herald and News.

Miss Lucy White and Mr. Robert Greene wrote their names indelibly on the hearts of about forty young people of Abbeville and vicinity when they gave a moonlight picnic at Rapleys Shoals Tuesday evening. The sum was still lingering on the western horizon when five automobiles and a truck cast off the dust of Fort Pickens and turned eastward along the road to Hodges. By the along the road to Hodges. Rv tVip t.imp that dusk had come, the party had arrived at; Rapley Shoals. There on the rocks, under the rays of automobile lamps, the table cloths were spread and! even Dame Natures firmest strata j groaned under wealth of food dis-| played. It is a good thing that' Hoover was not present. Well, the young people played the! games of their childhood over again and finally turned homeward. Up to the present time, only three engagements have been reported as made. Mr. R. C. Knox, who formerly | lived here, was in the city Tuesday.; Showing that the memory fires are still burning, he came in the office and subscribed to the Press and i Banner. Mr. Knox has a position in the postoffice in Atlanta. < uiifttirttnifiHuiiitMiiiiii urn. r lUiimittinnniNiiiMiiiiiiiiiiMirii-iiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiMiiiiiiiMiimiraiiiiHHi I Keep at is More Impor se Hot Days Tha 5 P Ko iar Keep Kool CI ijpe to Look For EEf( KOG \ v .
