FRIDAY, SEPT. 13, 1918.
Some rain has already fallen.
Several others also ran.
One of the things about a primary
election is the winner.
We told you we would have a
wolf of an Attorney General.
William P. Pollock may ^ow take
time to get a hair cut.
The peeples candidate may now
stay at home.
The poor man may now look out
for his own friends.
Over in Greenwood there came
near being a yell without the dell.
Another thing about an election
is the loser.
ifMajor
Long looks young enough
to be a registrant.
One of the worst things about being
sick is the medicine.
Another thing about an election is
the cfampaign expenses.
Here's hoping that we will meet
- the five thousand who voted for Rice
at the State Fair.
Dote Smith thinks he will be able
to stand it unles3 cotton gets above
ivtSy cents.
rney win not can tne men Between
36 and 46 until they are
ready for generals.
We do not suppose that anyone
will shoot a gun, at the Kerr and
Edison concert.
The government has the name of
every man with enough money to
V ^ j
spend a week in the mountains.
'y
If the farmers could sell the weed
of the cotton there would be less
weeu.
I
"There are a little difficulty" in
some people explaining why they
should not go to war.
;
We registered yesterday. If the
Canteen wants to send us a lunch we
aie ready.
The people in Pumpkin centre
may now go to cotton-picking. Also
Long Cane and Lebanon.

elected Attorney General is that the
sap falls in the autumn. Another,
reason was the voters. -* ,
It is about the season for the
opening of the set-back college. Col.
Roche plans to introduce military
training in his school.
From the number of doctors now
being called into the service we ex-'
pect to see the casualty lists increase
in length.
The proposed Act of the legisla-j
ture to have all offices re-filled in'
1920 in order to give the soldiers a
chance, has our support.
i
The Columbia State and Charles(
ton News and Courier may now stop
long enough to shake hands with
The'""Greenville News.
Col. J. Howard Moore has not yet
withdrawn his objection to the order
which allows Mayor Mars and ColJ
;.v .v
illS ' :
Dave Hill to go to the war ahead of
him.
If any lawyer at the Abbeville Bar
wishes to go to the war before he is
called, we agree to look after his
business free of charge during his
absence.
If the War Department intends to
call all men without children we are
of the opinion that it might also call
all men who already have eleven.
PHOTOGRAPHIC ALIBI.
No wonder delay has marked the
appearance of our physiognomy on
velvet velox. Mr. F. S. Hays has had
his head so full of love and romance
that he could not think of things
mundane and material. But he went
to Iva last Wednesday night and
came back with a pretty bride. So
we expect to get those pictures'right
quickly now.
The weddinc was a auiet one and
took place at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison
Simpson. Miss Selma Simpson was
the lady of the occasion. Rev. Geo.
W. Swope officiated at the ceremony
which made her the wife of Abbejville's
photographer. Mr. W. D.
! Barksdale and Mr. J. S. Saunders of
the city lent their presence to the
occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Hays will make their
home m the city.
I I PFRPIN 1R TAILED.
John L. Perrin, Jr., court stenographer,
received his call to active
service in the army Tuesday. He is
to report at Fort Screven, Savannah,
Ga., on the 23rd.
The position Mr. Perrin will hold
is that of army stenographer. He
will no doubt enjoy the diversion of
military life, but court authorities
I here will have to sleep with one eye
I open to get a hustler to take his
place.
