YOUR BUSY DAY.
|
Have you ever had a busy dayTJ
We hope not, because if you have wej
fear you are no longer a Christian. |
1 We have known people to set aside j
a certain day to do a particular piece
yf work, something which required
more than usual care and attention, |
and something which required that j
' one be free from interruption and
annoyances.
' Well, it is on these busy days that
the cow gets out, the water pipe
bursts, the house needs painting, the
cook wants her money (which you
haven't got), a button comes off your
pants which you can't get sewed on,
the well "ope breaks, the mule runs
, away wi h the plow, the plows need
sharpening. In fact it is on the busy
days that everything in general hap
"pens.
If vou are runniner a law office, and
there is a deed which you have been
promising to prepare for some client
v and for which he is waiting or a plead
ing to be filed and 'the time is almost
up, and the thing must be done now
, or never, some friend drops in and
after talking an hour asks you what
you think about the weather. Or it
maybe that there is a question about
the check law, or the labor contract
law, or the school law, or some other
v law, which he would like to ask. Your
client comes in. They come in and
talk over the situation, and then they
go over it again. They plow up the
row and then turn and plow back,
j and then they rest and plow again.
And it is the same way if you have
a good editorial in your system,
which you want to get out. Every time
you take the pen in hand some negro
from the farm comes in (you know
you cannot run a newspaper unless
you have a farm or some other en
terprise to take up all the profits of
the newspaper business) and says
that the handle to last year's plow
stock is a little loose, . c the point of
the gimlet is broken off, or the
ground is wet in one place or dry in
another and you can't plow, or they
need some seed corn or a little cane
ed to plant, or something else equal
ly as necessary.
If these things don't happen then
the city ti-easurer comes by to tell
you that your next paving assess
ment is about due, or you'get a no
tice from the bank that the other no
tice about your note being past due
must have been mislaid, and the next
one disregarded, and that the note is
still unpaid and so is the "in-t-r-u-s-t"
Now a good many people may not
have busy days but we have them on
Press and Banner block, that is Col.
Jenner Link has them, and some oth
ers. And we are writing now to say
to you that if there is anything you
want to know, or anything you want
done, or any other old thing, the day
to have it attended to on this block
is our busy day.
COL. GEO. HARVEY
\
The Press and Banner,/commenting
on adverse estimates of Col. George
Harvey's size in connection with the
filling of the English ambassadorship
notes that Col. Harvey was once made
an- L. L. D. by Erskine College and
correctly says that no man should re
ceive that distinction who is not large
enough to be Ambassador to Great
Britain. We endorse that position and
beg leave to add that his much used
-title of "Colonel" was bestowed upon
him by Hon. D. Clinch Heyward by
virtue of his power and authority as
Governor of the State of South Caro
lina. We do not see how we South
Carolina folks can go back on the
pestiferous colonel and the learned
doctor of laws of Erskine. It is a re
lief to note that the English govern
ment has officially notified Washing
ton that Col. Harvey will be entirely
acceptable as ambassador, persona1
grata in diplomatic terms.?Index-1
Journal.
GOING INTO A TENT.
South Church Street is putting on
its Easter clothes. The little park
at the Confederate Monument will
soon be blooming in all the fresh
ness and glory of the resurrection
season, and, mindful always of what
it means for those that live uprightly
the Bethel Church Methodists want
the rest of the churches in this town
.all and singular, to understand that
they intend to be the pennant-win
i ners in religous work this year. They
are especially desirous that the Cen
tral Methodists shall understand tnat
Bethel is the Methodist St. Peter's of
| this region, in testimony of which
! they point with pride to the fact that
J the Men's Bible Class at Bethel has
| outgrown th6 church building and
j been compelled to erect a tent to ac
commodate :tlie increasing throngs
[ flocking to hear Mr. Martin teach the
i Bible Sundayv morning. The attend
ance on this ;class last Sunday was
130, and more are coming. The Bible
Tent will be erected in the garden
of Mrs. Sanders, overlooking the
church grounds. Dr. Waller and Char
ley Hammond, are two of the moving
spirits at Bethel and they are both
from dear old Abbeville; but so are
Dean Mason DuPre and Professor
John G. Clinkscales, of the Central
crowd, and they are all fine irten.
Some of the over-impertinent Abbe
ville persons of the present day would
I probably say that it tnese ADoeviiie
J men had been as active religious
I workers before they left home as
| they are in Spartanburg it might have
| been better on the whole for Abbe
. ville.?Spartanburg Juornal.

| WORKERS REJECT
WAGE REDUCTIONS
New York, March 15.?Railroat
i workers in the East have decided t(
I y
j reject all proposals of wage reduc
| tions and carry their fight to the rail
{road labor board, if the cuts are pul
[into effect.
.
j Representatives of the workers whc
j have been holding conferences, it was
j definitely learned tonight, have de
jcided upon this course, taking the
position that the present wage stan
dai*d must be maintained and econ
i omic conditions will not permit of
any reduction.
There is little danger of any cessa
tion of work should the railroads put
the reduction in force, union officials
said, as the employees will ap'peal to
the labor board at Chicago and abide
by its decision. The railroad manager
ment it is understood also will obey
the labor board's edict.
The position of the workers was of
ficially made cj^ear today, when
representatives of the unskilled men
j notified the management of the New
York Central railroad that they flatly
refused to consider proposed wage
cuts of from IT1-2 to 21 per cent,
"as we find that those employees to
day are not receiving suflficienl in
come to maintain their families prop
erly."

QUICK ACTION NEC
ESSARY OR WE LOSE
COUNTY FARM AGENT,?
Our legislative delegation saw fit
tc have the county appropriation for
our Farm Demonstration agent cut
just fifty per cent, and now we are
reliably informed that our County
Agent will be sent to some other
county.
We cannot afford to go backward,
we must strive harder than ever to go
i forward, we. must not lose the ser
I vices of a county farm agent at just
i the time we need him most.
However, there is now but one way
I - XI : u ?
10 retain ine aei viccs ui such a nwn, i
and that is that we who are vitally in-1
terested in agriculture, and that
means everyone in the county, must
by voluntary subscription raise as
much as three hundred and fifty dol
lars.
This is a small amount and by
many of us contributing am sure that
no one need give ariy large sum. Sub
. scriptions of one, two, three, four or
j fiv$ dollars will rapidly make up this
: Amount,
This must be done at once or we
will lose our agent. Let everyone
who can and will subscribe to this
fund send or bring his subscription
to the office of the Abbeville County
Chamber of Commerce in Abbeville.
With the cotton situation as it is
today our farmers will certainly have
to very materially reduce their acre
age for this crop or stand to lose still
more money. /
^hen this acreage is reduced the
rest of the land should be planted to
r i rni_ :? _i_ i__x
ioou crgps. iius is aa ausuiute ncueu
sity if we are to live.
When this State spends $11,000,
000 on the outside for foodstuff
there is something fundamentally
wrong with our methods of fanning
?for the reason that we can prgduce
1 at a profit, everything we buy outside
" our borders, with probably the excep
tion of coffee, tea, etc. We can pro
' duce everything that grows elsewhere
in the United States except citrus
fruits.
1 Diversified farming will certainly
I cause some of our farmers to call to
- their aid the services of our County
t Demonstration Agent?the increased
J interest in livestock of all kinds, the
- pig clubs, the bull cltfbs, 'the or
f (chards and even your gardens can be
1 made better through the service and
advice of this experienced man.
We are beginning to appi4eiate the
; services of the Farm Demonstration
Agent now that we are about to lose
j ours. Get busy and send in your sub
} scription at once. *
