FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1918. ti,/> tnKc/irihor who Dromised us, 1 U V 0UWW)V*?vv 4 a pumpkin has not yet arrived. Per- j haps the pumpkin is not yet ripe, i but Son Bill is. We repeat our former assertion ' that the faithful work of the doc- j tors in Abbeville during the recent! epidemic is responsible for our get-j ting off so lightly. 1 We are still looking for the man1 who was opposed to fixing the price ' of cotton. We have been in favor;' of fixing it at one eighty-nine all j1 the time. When they boycott us for saying that it should not cost as much to get an article from the producer to J the consumer as it costs to produce ! the article, they must not be sur-i prised if the people whom we would assist boycott them. i . This paper sells advertising space. I We are not an object of charity.; We can run this paper without selling advertising space. We assume i that those people who buy space -- with us do so because they desire to get before the public. If so they have taken the right course because the people read The Press and.Banner. If any advertiser supposes that we are influenzed in any way in our judgment on any matter by the amount of his advertising bill he is looking the wrong way. Senator Hoke Smith says that it is all wrong to say that the government fixed a price on wheat. All that the government did, he says, was to fix a price BELOW WHICH wheat should not go, Now that is what we waited. We do not see why when coito.i v.U3 up to thirty-four cents, a J EICT1 BEI.OW WHICH was not inS3rted. We would not have cared how high it went, if only we could hive scotched it when it started the oth?r way. Something has gone; wrong in this whole matter. ??? DR. B. E. GARRISON. After serving the people of this community in a most faithful and acceptable manner for the last two weeks during the epidemic through which we have passed, Dr. B. E. Garrison has gone from us to take up his work at another place where his duty calls him. We feel that we sper.k for all the people of Abbeville when we say that from the moment he reached Abbeville, until he left k us, he put his whole heart into the work of relieving the suffering that he found among our people. He sought to do good every minute of the time, and he accomplished much. When he was stricken himself, he did not lose interest in those who were like sufferers, but he received c and considered reports each day, and took counsel for the betterment of th^ conditions around us. When he was again able, he took up the work and finished it. It is r>o easy thing for a stranger, evea when he is sent by iho autlsoritirr that he, to go into a community where hft is not known, end where semeiirrw's the people seem indifferent and cold towards the work which one tries to do. But there is always satisfaction in work well done, and merit usually wins in ihe lonu run. We wish for the good doctor, as he goes away, many years of usefulness in the noble profession to which he has dedicated the years which are his. As he goes about his daily work, we hope that he may know that kind thoughts of the people in! this little Southern village are fol-( lowing him, and that the people down here wish him "mighty well." j DEATH OF DUANE COX. Duane, the youngest son of Mrs. Jennie Cox, died Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 30th, 1918, after an illness of nine days of pneumonia. The| little boy was seriously ill from the) very first and for the past^ several | days no hopes of his recovery have, been entertained. Duane was a general favorite with the people in his neighborhood,! "playing fair" with the boys and, showing a gentle and courteous j manner to his elders. Among the! boys he was called affectionately j "Charlie", having given himself this! name after an old family horse whom he loved and petted. Duane was nine years old Sunday, j ^~ 014-V* on/1 woe o momhpr nf flip , LIIC L* ? l/l 1J UUU 1fM0 W* ~ ? | third grade at school.

Everybody was in the dark Wed-( nesday night, and everybody except those who were sick telephoned to, find the trouble. It was the first time, as everybody always says, Uuut we have been without lights. We inquired Thursday morning i for the trouble, and found out that the line from Gregg Shoals to Ab-1 beville, over which we usually obtain our power, got out of commission on Wednesday. In order to f'-'o us iignts the Power Company, which is responsible for the up-keep of the lines, switched us on the lines of the Southern Power Company through Greenwood. Wednesday' night the switches at Greenwood through which the power comes to Abbeville burned out, with the result that no. power could be obtained at the power house from either end of the line. CS-inri?Mn4-o?/1orl+ Wiv nnrl Viis assist ants, in order to give us lights during the night, went out on the line or the Southern Power Company, near the County Farm and there lo-. c?.ted the trouble on this line, and though it was not their business to do so, they repaired this line and brought the lijrhts to Abbeville at al?on+ H:S0. This served also to get lights for Greenwood, which was also in darkness. y Thursday morning Superintendent Hix received a long distance message from the power company thank injj him for making the temporary repairs. The company itself got to work on the line Thursday morning.

Mrs. Henderson is thought j 0 be the wife of Bartow Henderson, j is they resided on this street for a! hort time during the summer, hav-j tig, however, removed to Anderson jately.

Mr. Henderson undoubt-; :dly enlisted from Anderson County,; ,s his name does not appear on the j ecords of our local board. Life Was JusfcJMany Days of Suffering 'OR FOURTEEN MONTHS SHE THOUGHT EACH DAY WOULD BE LAST. "I've always bleieved in 'passing . good thing along' and that is just irhy I want to tell everybody what Maniac has done for me," said Mrs. . M. Mayes, wife of a well known oal and wood dealer, residing at .719 Twelfth St., Augusta, Ga., cme time ago. "For fourteen long miserable nonths I suffered with disordered :idneys, severe headaches and other erious complications until my life' /as just one day of torture after mother," she continued. "My apletite failed me entirely and food' eemed to poison my system. My :xtreme nervousness made it almost mpossible for me to sleep, and I ^as dragged down by one trouble ifter another until I thought every lay would be my last and was told hat an operation was the only hope 'or rny life. I refused to allow the iperation, however, and after readng what Tanlac did for a friend of I nine, I tried it as a last resort. "I honestly believe that Tanlac s the best medicine in the world! light after the first few doses I beran to improve and pick up in veigh? until I am now fifteen )ounds heavier than when I started .:king Tanlac. I have not had a leadache since I began using it and ny kidneys have stopped troubling ne entirely. I am relieved of all ;hat dreadful suffering and am in >etter condition than I have been !or fourteen months past." Tanlac, the master medicine, is <?ld exclusively by F.
