JAMES M. BAKER.
After twenty-six years of faithful
service to the national government,
eighteen years of which period
he was Assistant Librarian of the
Senate, and for eight years, Secre
tary of the Senate, James M. Baker
retires to private life. Mr. Baker
passes with the democratic control
of the Senate.
Mr. Baker is a native of Abbeville
County. He has made good through
* ' "TL - ? J. 11 i.
nis own acuity, ine bimt aitci
serving the Senate for eighteen
years in a subordinate position, he
was taken up by the men who knew
him and put in the important position
of Secretary shows his standing
.with the men among whom he worked.
The duties of the office to which
he was last elected were so well performed
during his first term that he
was elected with practically no serious
opposition for the second term.
No doubt he would have been elected
again had the democrats continued
to control the Senate, but they did
sot.
SKOVGAARD COMES TO TOWN
V
Skovgaard came to town Monday
night. Assisting him in presenting a
grand concert program were Alice
McClung-Skovgaard and Maude Williams-Wiley.
It was a splendid performance
as, such performances go.
Most of the citizens of Abbeville
will have to take our word for that
statement: they were not there,
One could be hopelessly out of tune
as Shakespeare's unmusical villian
wiiu was ripe IUI ucawn, stiatc^cui
and spoils and still have enjoyed the
concert of Monday night. It wasn't
highbrow stuff" (?9 SO many
thought and did not go) but possess*
ed an appeal as potent as a merger
of all the emotions. Music is one of
of the most primitive modes of expression.
Savages are acquainted
with the aesthetic qualities of harmony,
so the people of this city need
not think that musical appreciation
is for the "highbrow" alone.
Whether the word "Classical" furnishes
the cue to imposse or whether
there is really a majority in Abbe
ille that prefers the syncopated
*ort,-?or no sort?to the kind of mui
sic ithat has received the approval
pf| Iihlb-educated musical world, we
dom't know.
6ver in Atlanta, with many, it has
~ become a fad, a leaser sort of noblesse
oblige, to attend Grand Opera.
Others go because they genuinely appreciate
the music. The former mo1*
1 Li J iA 1 1
wto is naraiy wonny ana 11 nas oeen
said that numbers go to Atlanta from
as great a distance as Abbeville with
no more well defined motive than to
appear among those present. It has
one good point. Some come to endure
and remain to love.
Unless the people of Abbeville do
patronize attractions of the class
presented by Skovgaard, the local
management of the opera house cannot
afford to book them for appearance
here. And the point we want
to make is that there are enough people
in this city, sufficiently appreciative
of good music, to make it pay
and there are others who can afford
to gamble on the chances of developing
a liking.
We have refrained from drawing
comparisons because they are too
6brious. We all know t|ie kind^of
I shows Abbeville Dgonja^wi^
patroni^:fk^|^E|^fc
at the opera house Monday night is
sufficient comnentfry. on ?ut$
' of the public to cause sbrte'tff' us a
few pangs of shame. We are loath
1 ?
j to believe that Custard-pie comedy
,ihas a greater appeal for the Abbej
ville public than the best music,
j ^
WORSE AND WORSE.
i
j One of the worst things about the
I war time prohibition bill that has
r! come to our attention; yes, worse
! than Wilson coming out for wines
I and beer, is the fact that a man named
Sabath has introduced a bill in
j Congress to repeal the existing law,
so as to allow the wine and beer to
flow.
j It is not true, however, that broth
er Sabath will speak at Due West at
i the approaching commencement.

THE NEW EDITOR. 1 ' J "
Mr. H. G. Clark is the new editor
of The Press and Banner. We very
much regret to lose Mr. W. P.
Greene from the editorial force of
J the county and State. He has made
| an able and outspoken writer. At
j critical timeB his counsel and words
; have been very valuable to the counj
ty. Moreover every moral issue has
i received his cordial endorsement and
i hearty support. We very much rej
gret to lose him. Some way we are
I inclined to think that he is not
"clean gone." Printer's ink has a
, wonderful way of sticking to a felI
low's hands when once it stains them.
I
j Dutch cleanser does not entirely take
1 j it off.
I Mr. Clark is a newspaper man of
' experience and comcs well endorsed.
We extend him the right hand of fellowship
and hearty good will.-^A. R.

"I have your letter requesting a
, donatida, ^oii ^rKkt v>yott ^oiteider-a
veVy'worthy daflie." I flatter myself
that I have a spirit of loyalty and
JL JLULU X XVXJ^K/ T
generosity. I have contributed to'at
each and every object that has been 01
presented to me, but I certainly have pi
to decline to help this cause along T:
for the following reasons: a]
I have been held up, held down, p<
| every other cross of all colors, and
I by the children's Home, the Corcas
, Society, the various hospitals, in|
eluding the lying-in-hospital, the
lying-out hospital, as well as some
| lying institutions.
My business has decreased in vol-;
i ume, owing to the fact that goods
i that I am selling have been restrict-j
, ed in output by the Government, and
i because I will not sell all that I have
J and go to beg, borrow and steal. I
| have been cussed, and discussed,
