FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1920 U v?i1 EVERYTHING UNANIMOUS !C r ' \l Well, beys, the fight is about over c and nothing is left to be done except c the shouting. We get the news from c Spartanburg. Hon. John Gary 1 Evans brings it back from out West. ) He is the same fellow they once call- ' ed "jaggery," but that was before he got on our side or we go? on his. * Well, anfyway, the ex-governor has A been out West and has traveled * " " --1-x r.f Vidtr CQV around "a rigm swan CIO 1>J1V J UUJ in Spartanburg, and he knows what c he is talking about, so THEY say. The governor is of the opinion ' that Candidate Cox is tne real demo- ' crat. To be true the Soutn Carolina ^ delegation kept voting for Crown ' Prince McAdoo all the while, which ] is causing some of the brethren v arcrund Columbia some uneasiness just now, we mean some of those who would like consideration when Cox is ' ' c elected, but nevertheless, Mr. Evans says of the candidate and his running mate: t' ' ' r "Governor Cox is a great man. He is a true blue democrat, and he has the quality of inspiring confidence , " ?* AT- T? (incovuTt too. * 2nd entnusiasui. jh. nvv0v<v?*; - ?, has added greatly to the strength of 1 the ticket." f }Of the result Mr. Evans has the ? ^ following to say: "I traveled thru practically all the Western States after tiie convention a c and talked to ah sorts of people, and everybody is confident that Cox and * Roosevelt will be elected .Ohio is conceded to us, and we Have every advantage in New York, Illinois and other large States. The far West is solid for us and we are going to elect ? democratic president and a ucxo, cratic congress. Even the big bank- a \\ ers> who have been republican here> a tofore, are tired of republican reaction and incompetency and will 0 vote the democratic ticket this year. They have confidence In our ticket v" and in our platform, and the masses of the people are with us. We are go- a ing to win." " , E Ohio in the opinion of Mr. Evans'a is "not to hunt." It is aireaay m Js ' hand and ready for delivery. Con- vcerning that state, he says: a "In fact it is conceded by everyj . body that Governor Cox #w:il carry Ohio. Money is freely offered at any 0 sort of odds on that result and there 1! are no takers." a Now all of this sounds pretty good * on that mechanism of the ear which " causes us to hear. But we would advise those whose duty it now is "to t: come to the aid of the party" not to v offer to bet the dollar on Ohio which ^ kolnnrro /.hairmnn nf rnp <lollar ftSClUUgO W democracy, because there will be 1 some fellow with little enoug:i sense ," but plenty of cents, to- cover it. ^ And as for the result foretold by Chairman Evans that also sounds , pretty good to all the boys. There is nothing to be added to the inspiring ^ message which he sends out from v . Spartanburg unless it Is to say that ti we believe Cox will also carry Long Cane, in Abbeville County, and Buck Level, in Greenwood County, S. C. But we would remind ail overhopeful democrats that elections are very uncertain. It wiii no: do to cl claim the election until the returns -v come in from Rock Springs and v "Keewee." We have known these s ooxes to cnange tne reiuic me one . v one way; and then the other, ths other way. : tl ' v THERE'S SOMETHING .'h IN NEWBERRY q n Col. W. H. Wallace, editor of Th-? fr Newberry Observer, has this in to ! o I day's issue of his paper: "Abbeville is getting to be quite ii a live city: A man was robbed of b money on Main street the past week o in broad daylight, and there is 'plen-E ty of booze' on Washington street ! Is says the Press and Banner." j o Now we are suspicious of some G ? * ?? m LETTER FB "Many long years ago" when by le {rrace of a railroad pass and a 0 ew frock we got a trip away from g ome, our father always insisted that le re "write up cur trip,'" holding that ci whatever was new and interesting to g s would be interesting to some of p ui' subscribers. Therefore even at C his |ate day when away I always si ;ant to tell everyuody in town about v he thing? I see. f Of course there is much to see b round a summer hotel, the people t orming an ever changing picture. Jetting to a mountain hotel is the ^ (reposition how. The* trains are a rowded with all sorts ana conditions j( if men and the old fashioned idea r >f giving a seat to a lady has gone t nto the discard. Coming up here t vomen were standing, silling three n a seat, on suit cases and on the f irm of the seats. At Spartanburg j xJi.1 ... iL.i ne porter tOJU US UJclU CIIC i uiuuaug J vere a] 1 "chock-a-block" and we vere glad cf a seat jusi any where r. the train. From Ashevllle on our ornpanion was a mountaineer who ^ .corned water as anything other than , i beverage, who wore .overalls and . ;eld a smutty little boy in his lap. > :Ic t<^ld me the mountaineers had no j. irouble making a living out of corn T ind all about the paper pulp mill at Canton. A woman across the aisle , vas chewing tobacco but she did not t cok any worse than some of the f vomen around the hotel in satin lrcss.es and with painted faces who vere chewing gum. i'ouay it is raining a steady down- i >our and everybody is coopec up in t he hotel. Many are playing bridge, h here is one table of poker and one b b.'ty-lwo and 1 believe mere are e our people in the house who v cknowledge to, playing roo?:. Bridge, itwever is the popular game and ^ ome of the women play ail day long, q find that the topics of conversation ,, re about the same every where? ervants, the cost of living, the tyles and aboul e".ch other seem to ^ old for^h here. This morning a lady old me that she had been :a tne ho- , el a week and she had yet to see a i lan as good looking as her husband. . another group was talking auout how . o turn back an embroidered sheet S' nd make it look like a spread and ^ t'ffc! utinu<tjiiiij? me itivi uij?l it tusi ^ dollar to have such shee^- launder- , n J in *a city. i A group of New Orleans people w 'ere talking of the time Pershing v> r.cl Materlinck were in their city']? t the same time, how bored the great f( Belgian was. even disdaining to look t the Bluebird float prepared for ^ is entertainment while Pershing ^ ?.s said to have discarded his sword tj nd to have danced his way into the 4 r-.rt * of all the women. A man around a sumr.-.c'i- hotel on rainy dav is a disconsolate look- . . dl is Tg object. The very few wno dance nd play bridge can put rn a busy me but the business men who are P >re for a rest or ov:- Sunday with v neir wives have trouble passing the ^ me away. A family from JacKsonille, Fla., are here, the man coming or a two weeks rest. His wife told !? this morning that he couldn't tand to be away from his office any j nger and was going home. Mr. lembert who has been here from lennettsville made the day out by ^ idir? around in his car and going to ? nc? moving pictures, but when it r.me to the dance at night he said r~ ris men turned and twisted around much that he "just cou'dn't stand : look at them." The dances at the Gordon are very ell arranged and everybody seems j have a good time. The young men f the town come in and there eems to be nearly enough men to go round. The "cheek dance" seems to e popular, though it must be a most ncomfortable position. So far I have een only one girl "shimmy." She .'as a big old fat girl in a blue hing that mixes people up being prealent in Newberry for Col. Wallace * as gotten the streets mixed up in uoting us. Everybody knows there Is ot enough money on Main street to empt a highwayman and everybody n Washington street w a teetotaler.' We might add for Col. Wallace's iformation that a safe has been rob-^ > ed since the above item was publish^ d and that the doctors-of the Third, >istrict Medical association met here ist night holding forth until 1 a. m.' v n nothing stronger than water from J Iroggy Springs. OM WAYNESViLLE j veater and must be the girl the New rleans lady has named '"baby rand" on account of tlie size of her ?grs. The New Orleans lady acu?ed the young proprietor or "huging'' his dancing partner and his rely was that he is to be married lr Ictober and that he was behind in nch work and had to make time rhile he could. He is a handsom; e]low and if any girls around Abeville are coming to Waynesvillt hey should come before October. Mr. Alexander, of Spartanburg ias had more fun at the dances thai ny of the other men. He Is fin< ooking, a good danc?*, a marriu r?an and safe from th'e attacks o: he summer girl, so he cranced thi ime away after phoning home to as] lis wife if he could stay another day le is the father-in-law of . Burle: Yetwell and of course, Abbevill >eople are interested in him. It is alwavs Dossible to meet peo )le you know or who know some o rour friends. A lady from Winder ia., knows Mrs. Mattie Purely Snipe md has much to say that is pleasan ibout her. A man from High Point 4. C. asked me one day if we didn" lave a man named'Kerr, in our town admitted it at once being as hi :ves on Greenville street and i eems that the High Point man 1 he man Abbeville is looking for ti di us all about how to Duild an< un a knitting mill. It is possible tha e may come to Abbeville.and, if so pur people will find Mr. and Mrs i/Jirnc rr.net pharmiTKr nennle an< he twc little girls lovely. They wer< ere for several "days traveling in : cautiful car with a dignified leath l-leggined driver to d ) tho har< ,'ork. Young Mr. Baldwin from Nev >rleans has been in Prof. Kobert Mc law Perrin's school and the familj peak most highly of our .-tToevilh nn. This would not be a genuine sum ler hotel if there were not some liing to gossip about unir the "ricl idy' the "English officer" and th( French maid" furnish a never end ig source of talk. The "rich lady' s from Pittsburg and is here for th< ammer, with a suite of rooms, a slJ ear old boy, the English officer, twc laids and fifteen trunks. The officei as been severely wounded anc alks with difficulty, though lie rides el| and drives a high power racei *ith ease. Son Bill says ne Knows the ;rlv Is vpw rich for he "saw hex eeding chocolate bon bons to a dog.': There is a handsome woman here rom Georgia who asked me to gc or a walk with her saying sh? had lat day paid her bill ant: nad eater jo much lunch in an ^ncreavor tc et even with the hotel. A couple came yesteruay who reg itered as "Pa McCeun, Ma McCeur nd Miss Betty McCeun." Son Bill has found many pleasanl laymates whose first names ht nows. He can tell all the news ?oi ne hotei saying yesterday thai \uth had piayed poker tor two noun ..d had only won iiiii'teen cents," nd again that "something is going , iiappen in the hotel, the"rich lady' jlu her maid to go to Haues.
