IOYALTY TO THE SERVICE
p '
The Harding administration prom
ises a revival of business methods in
the management of the departments
at Washington. For a long time, during
which the leaders of both parties
have been to blame, the departments
at Washington have been . places
where political followers were anchored
at good salaries and with lit*
tie consideration for the public service.
These departments are now being
reorganized and a good many reforms
are being adopted, one of
rvoffmrv riA n
WlilVJl IS UIC 5VWVIU5 4.IU V* V 0 number
of useless office-holders,
p. Yesterday a more important ruling
was announced. It was to the effect
that those employees who could
not co-operate with the heads of the
departments in carrying out the proposed
reforms, but who busied themselves
with obstructive methods and
criticism of the plans of the administration
would in the future be called
on to walk the plank.
jf+r That is as it should be. There is
too much of this not only in the pubBr

as well. During the last few years
- when help has been hard to find,
there has been a growing disposition
on the part of the employed to usurp
the offices of the employers and run
business on their own ideas rather
^han according to the instructions
- of the people who are responsible for
running expenses. The people who
do not invest money in enterprises
and who have never made any to invest,
and who have not been conspicuous
by their success in life
generally think, or seem to think,
j that they know a great deal more
about running the. business of the
man who built up the business than
he does. They are arraogant in the
assertion of their views, and when
they do not prevail there is a* disposition
to criticise the owner and
employer to other employees and to
the public. Such conduct is subversive
of good service.
To be true there are many valuable
suggestions which employees
may make to their employers, and a
good employer is always ready and
willing to consider any suggestion
from a good employee for the benefit
of the service to be performed.
Soch suggestions made In the prop.
...
er spirit are to De courted, but the
final decision in the matter of one's
own business must be made by the
owner or manager, and that employee,
whether in the government
service, or in private employment;
who knows more than everybody
{ . else who cannot obey the rules of
the establishment, who desires to assume
the management of the establishment
without authority, and who
criticises his employer to people on
the outside, has passed his day of
usefulness. He should mend his
ways or quit, and if he refuses to
do either, there is but one end to
mm in well regulated establishments.
MAKING A WILL.
Most people plan some time tc
make a will. A small number do so,
Lack of a will causes all sorts oi
trouble and complications frequently
A will improperly drawn is also a
source of trouble.
It looks now as if the lawyers oi
the country, this section, will not b?
so very busy this summer. It woult
be a fine thing for you to take ad
vantage of the situation and havt
your will drawn. It can be done s<
as to carry out your wishes and youi
estate will be safeguarded in the waj
it should be. Strikes us that it is i
fine time, even though it is so hot, tc
think about wills and the like. Ge1
your lawyer to draw yours now whih
he is not busy.?Index-Journal.
The above taken from the column!
of our esteemed contemporary if
well said. None of the lawyers witl
whom wc have talked take any exceptions
to the suggestions made,
and lawyers generally know how to
: "except." But the matter suggests a
question to us. A man who has property
even in the shape of obligations
due him may always make a will dis*|
posing of his property including these
' I obligations, but as Col. Barber,
j of Richburg was wont to say, "We
I have examined the law, and we fail
^ I to find anywhere in it where it says'
that a man may dispose by will of
f the obligations he owes the other fel.
low." As most of us owe the other
j fellow more than he owes us, have
,|we anything the subject ot cr.sposi-i
Ition by will?
I In the matter of making wills
j most men now will find themselves in
'the condition in which Col. Ball, of
I Laurens,- once described a fellow at!
torney. Court was in session, and the
! judge was sounding the docket. A
i young lawyer had ^good many cases
,!on the docket and as each of these
| cases was called he arose and anj
nounced with great dignity, "Ready,
Your Honor." The thing went on a
, little while and then finally Col. Ball, ,
jas the young attorney again an- ,
| nounced "Ready," exclaimed, "Yes,
always ready, but never prepared."
For the benefit of all the faithful ,
wo Hflcivp to sjiv that we have seen ,
I Col. George Harvey's picture in the .
I New York Herald. He was still wearing
his dress suit and was standing (
! beside a duke. (

Now that the young Corp. has arrived

SWISS ARE HUNTING
JOHN CALVIN'S GRAVE
Geneva, June 14.?The spot where
O Villi civilly MIO JTiVtCSWlUU iCIUI jiier
and theologian, is buried is being
sought by the authorities on information
furnished by a man who" says
he is a descendant of Calvin. The location
of the grave has been handed
down through the Calvin family uner
ipledge of secrecy, according to
the man, who is 71 years old, and he
is without issue he believed it his
duty to divulge the location to the
Ecclesiastical Consistory at Geneva.
Tradition has it that John Calvin
who died on May 27, 1564, was buried
"in the common cemetery in
\Geneva called Plain-Palais," but the
exact spot has not been identified.
MACHINES FOR PRINTING
London June 13.?Suggestion that I
printing from type is likely to be su- |
persedfd was made 'by William Gamble
at the recent World's Congress
of Printers held here in connection
i with the International Printing and
Allied Trades Exhibition. Mr. Gamble
-said that at least three inventors
were trying to develop a photographic
process to take the place of
printing from type.
He predicted that the machines
: for printing by photographic pro.
*es? .would' liapdly- occupy -more
l I space than a typewriter, nor be any
I more complicated.
He expressed the opinion that
? eventually the great printing press
I es in newspaper offices would give
- place to smaller, swift running and
vvit?|n*i?viTVtjr iiViOt'iVaO iliCWIiXIlUOj

"BUSINESS MAN" WRITES
TO SUGGEST DOLLAR DAY.
Editor The Press and Banner:
I have just finished reading your
timely editorial in Monday's issue regarding
the campaign now being
conducted by the Greenwood Chamber
of Commerce and The Index
Journal to draw trade from the surrounding
counties> This campaign is1
hurting trade here and something
must be done to counteract such
propaganda. To my own knowledge,
there is hundreds of dollars going j
out of Abbeville to Greenwood and j
other places every month because j
these towns have merchants who be-,
lieve in the power of advertising andi
putting forth some effort to get bus-)
iness.
Good times are not coming again,!
thpv must hp brought ami it. will
take cooperation and pep and hard !
work to bring them. To this end, I,
wish to suggest that the Chamber of j
Commerce and merchants set forth a
special day'at regular intervals toj
be known as Dollar Days and for!
every merchant in town to put on a'
special sale of some article that will J
be big enough bargain to bring in |
the people, then for a big newspaper'
advertising campaign along with any'
ather form of advertising such as1
distributing circulars, automobile'
signs and boosting by all.
This plan has worked wonders for
sther towns and with all the mer. j
ihants cooperating with the Chamber
jf Commerce it will work wonders,
for Abbeville. We at least could give'
it a trial and let results show us the1
i'alue of advertising and pulling together
and if we succeed at this we
will .try something else along this)
line and I think Abbeville merchants'
will wake up and go forward without'
further urging.
We have the merchants and the|
merchandise and we have a good'
town. All we need is the effort so!
let's put forth the effort and make'
things go.
A Business Man.
MUCH HEAVY TRAFFIC
PRIZES UP PAVING
\AIlie Smith and his boys, as well,
as Daley Barksdale and his, are hard
t/? understand Dn-wn in frnnt nf the
lien store of Press and Banner Block
Link, also dealer in fine furniture,
some of the paving brick have raised
themselves or been raised, and the
gentlemen first named and their
boys have been wondering what
caused it.
Well, that is easy. All the biggest
fafmers in the county do their trading
in heavy groceries with King
Link, and the other day when the
wagon came in from the lower place
of one of the farmers who has been
trading with Allie and Daley, and
who therefore has to buy most of the
farm necessities this year, and when
the wagon was being loaded from
the well-stocked stores of the merchant,
it prized some of the bricks
out of their place. But there is no
need to worry, the King will have
them replaced as soon as he has a
rest from selling goods?and furniture.
