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

Funeral services were held at'
Long Cane cemetery Thursday af-j
ternoon at four o'clock, conducted
by Rev. H. Waddell Pratt." A large
concourse of people gathering to express
their sympathy for the bereaved
family.
The little boy is survived by his
mother, two sisters, Misses Edna and
Margaret Cox, and four brothers,
William, who is at home, and R. E.,!
James and Hubert Cox who are all
overseas in the service of their
country.
The people of Abbeville grieve
with the disconsolate mother, who

TURNING ON THE LIGHTS.
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.
The subscription rate to The Press
and Banner is now $2 per year.

iossible. Mr. Henderson undoubt-;
:dly enlisted from Anderson County,;

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."
