THE EXPLOSIVE MR. SCAIFE.
Mr. H. L. Scaife has sent us another
expensively gotten up circular j
telling us why Senator Smith should
not be re-elected. Mr. Scaife was'
asked by someone to act as Commissioner
of Explosives is South Carolina
in and during of the war. He'
# I
didn't want the job, no siree,.- he
didn't, but he was willing to do the
exploding if his country called him
(Hurrah for Scaife.) What Mr.'
Scaife really wanted to do was to get ;
?V 4-V.o firrhHncr was tTie hottest '
WUCAC tut * ?
and the. bullets the thickest. He ad- 1
mits that himself. But being a solV
|
dier, nevertheless, he was out to serve
the country wherever ca;!eu.
Knowing of Mr. Scaife's burning I
desire to face the bullets rather than I
fill an office back at home, Senator
Smith it seems selected for the Ex- '
1
plosive Commissioner Col. Wm.
> Banks, of Columbia, a man who <
j/ ?
looks like he might explode a great 1
deal more easily than Mr. Scaife '
thus gratifying the desire of Mr. J
Scaife to take a shot "at mem Ger- ,
mans." ]
Now every reasonable person
would have thought that Doth Mr. 1
Scaife and Col. Banks would have 1
been satisfied with the onrcome of
the explosive matter and that every- ,
thing would have been loveiy and i
TK>n/>?fn1 and so it was or anneared
> ?? ? ? -- -**
to be, until Senator Smith came up
for re-election, and then it was that
Mr. Scaife, although he naa not been*
appointed Commissioner of Explosives,
imagined himself in that office
and began to explode, and he just
keeps on exploding, though, as stated
last Monday, he doesn't ma^e much
more noise than a large paper bag f
when it is filied with air "bus:- <
ed" or "exploded," we should say by I
Con Bill.
as \vc nave said the peopre are not
new concerned abcut who was ap-'
pointed Commissioner or trie Explosives,
but they have a vital interest
in the matter of selecting a suitable
r..c..? to represent us in tne United ,
States Senate.
And they would like to know just
why Mr. Scaife is doing so much exploding,
iiiid who is iurniiliing the
explosives? If he got what ne wanted
i'.^d WuO Uv^L ivikliu *0 bo bile
L.IacIwiiC. du:i.:g the war when he
v -- o-*'? ' 1*^ ? -?* now s*? jif|
t~ against Senator Smith? Of course
Mr. S.caif" if he thinks the counti'v
is about to be given the -pip'" by
Senator Smith has a right, and it is
his duty, to come to the front and offpr
n r^rr.pHv Rnt. is that, wnat hp is
doing? Is Mr. Scaife as anxious to
serve the state just now as he is to
serve somebody else, or to punish
Senator Smith for letting him right."
?\nd what oi' his remedy? It. is Mr.
George Warren, we believe. Mr.
Warren is busy defending Mr. John
C.. Calhoun, who died^a great many
yeai'o ago without asking Mr. Warren
to defend him and his po'::Cles. In
J f^r-t it is nut hclicvpd hv who
know something cf Mr. Calhoun that,
were he living, he would select Mr.
Warren to defend his cause.
Mr. Warren tells us that away back
in 1914 he introduced into the General
Assembly the prohibition law
now on the statute, books. But "what
the people of this state want to
know is whether Mr. Warren is NOW
for national prohibition, ?r against
it? They would like to know whether
he would favor an amendment to or
the repeal of the Volstead Act? We
want Mr. Warren's position in 1920,
not in 1914. Is Mr. Warren for liquor
NOW' that is the question. ^
TIGS WHICH
Col. James E. Taggart, who lh
in McCormick, but who is a good A
beville man nevertheless, and is gl
of it, was here Monday. He was fe
;ng fit, though the price of cotton a
the way it is going did not suit h
very well. He was an interested li
ener at the speaking and enjoyed t
jokes told by the candidates. He ss
some of the candidates are ""sha
fellows."
He asked particularly about
"Uncle Pat,'" who is in the moi
tains just now enjoying the fi
mountain climate. He says that
.mows none of the old maids will
able to take Uncle Pat in, but if
young widow, who is good iookii
and knows the ropes, gets after hi
he is not so sure what might happ<
As he left us he called back
l;ncw how long Uncle Pat was to
main in the mountains, and when
told him until -September first,
dismissed us with this question:
"Ain't hej-ag^pt?"

Sol H. Rosenberg was busy Tui
day morning getting ready to take
trip to New York. Mrs. Rosenbe
came dtown to help the head of "'Fo
Stores?Many Departments" get ]
wardrobe trunk filled with all the 1;
est styles in men's apparel. When
arrives in New York the people
there will know that Abbeville is
near Paris as the big city.
Mr. Rosenberg believes !n advi
tising. He lays in a proper stock
arcods and then tells the people abo
it tnrougn the columns or tne rrj
and Banner, and they believe wh
tie says. He convinces them. '
On account of the high cost
everything the present season
found that it took more money

jounted on, ant! he thought of "e
:ending his lien"' for that purpos
jut remembering that the Press a;
Banner will carry a man across,
'ecided to put on a big July sa
properly advertise it, and see wh
ne could do in the way of getting
orr.e cash. Result: He toox in mo
