I Everybody likes to see other peo-j pie at work. Most people like to see j a dollar at work unless it is workingaway frorrf them when value receiv-j ed is not in evidence. Nobody objects J to making the dollar work when it: will produce about a dollar and a > Now the latter accomplishment 'is ! what the dollar is expected to bring: about here next Saturday. That, in' fact, is jus\ what the dollar will do if the people will do their part. In other towns they have been hav-, ing Dollar Days, but so far as we have been able to see the (Joliar days! in other towns have been "everydays" j in Abbeville, for our merchants, or; those who advertise, are prepared to: prove that they sell goods every day: in the week for less than merchants i in other towns do on so-called bar-gain days. i But, notwithstanding and never-1 thgless, the merchants here have de-i cided that Abbeville must be in style' in the matter of dollar days as well' as in the tonsil business (the latter; business now being the monopoly of Dr. Davis) so in this issue the story j, is beginning to be told of just how;, much duty a dollar will do if spent! n Abbeville next Saturday. I, It will pay you, while ybu are at . home for "dinner today and tomor?I row and every day this week, to read | the Press and Banner's advertise-!, ments instead of taking a nap, be- j ( cause there is news to be found I ] there which will help to make a pound j ^ of cotton do what it did last year' ( and the year before. Th^re are many!, things mentioned in these advertise-' ments which will help to make home j happy, as well as wife, or husband; s son, or daughter; and all of the things mentioned have a close connection t > - - ? y with that old doilai* you have beeri ; carrying in the bottom stoty of you? | ^ pocket, and which, to speak the truth, I ^ is now getting rusty, or which needs ; airing. Head and be convinced. , 1 NO SUGAR IN CORN BREAD j, Colonel Henry Watterson is always right. He despises hypocrisy, ,and therefore does not like some politic- 1 ians. Especially does he dislike politicians who claim to have too much of the sugar of self-righteousness. He dislikes too much sugar in a good 1 many things, and he is not in favor /of any sugar whatsover in corn bread, because corn bread with sugar is a hypocrite. This is what he ? says about it: Corn bread with sugar in it was an idea born of the devil, planted in New England and sent South by our enemies. It is threatening the life of real corn bread right in the land of its birth. It has done and is doing worse. It makes men trifling .and, women frivolous. It is responsible for most of the murders, suicides and divorces. It is the mother of bolshevism and the daddy of anarchy. It weakens the brain, infuriates the liver and grows people potgutted. i It brings corns and baldness and saffronizes the complexion. It makes ' the nose shiny and the skin pimply. "It drives husbands downtown of nights. It causes the servants to be insolent and obstreperous. It creates an appetite for moonshine. "It is the underlying cause of pyrrohea. It emboldens a i*an to refuse his wife's request for money. But for sugar in corn bread, there would be no war, no flies or mosquitoes, no ants or roaches, no I. W. W., no Republican party. "Let the Twentieth amendment to the constitution forever prohibit sugar in corn bread, and let's have the vote right away." . jf' ^THE FUTURE OF THE j COUNTRY NEWSPAPER M. V. Atwood, of the faculty of ' Cornell University, and a former! newspaper man, wrote a readable j magazine article not long ago on "The Country Newspaper," in which j he said in part: "What is to be the future of the:1 country weekly? This rests with thej1 community and with the publisher, i If the community recognizes the val-j< ue and possibilities of the country!1 weekly and is willing to pay what itjl is worth, and if the publisher real-1 s izes his responsibilities to his com-; J m unity, then its future is bright. It!' will have an important part 'n build-j1 ing up a satisfying and wholesome 1 rural life. J ^ "First of all, the country weekly 11 of the future will be recognized as aj( community institution. This means it 2 will be prosperous. The community j i will realize that it is unwise for the j > community to have a newspaper thatj J is not prosperous. i "The country newspaper of the fu-j c ture will not be sold as a newspaper, * but as a conlmunity service, just asj* the telephone is service. No one i * thinks a telephone rental of from $12' to $30 a year is high, yet in the ser-j vice it x*enders the paper is quite! comparable to the 'phone; and the telephone receipts can't be used to c put on the pantry shelves the way old I newspapers can. A country newspa- c _-er is worth more than the $1.50 to i $2.00 usually charged. |t "The publisher, of course, will be j s : recognized community leader. He ? will have emancipated himself from c -.'^e thralldom of detail. He will have S dupable girls who can do this sort of 1 work better than he can do it himself, r He will never find that he is unable ? to attend the meeting of an import- c ant town committee of which he is t chairman because he has to fix a f balky linotype or a sulky press. It r goes without saying that he will have' a neat, well organized and systema-' tized front office. "The people of the community will i know, also, that they have a part inj making it a erood paper. As one coun- I try editor puts it, the country weekly f is 'not the product of its editor. It is t the combined product of its friends, o readers and advertisers.' No country t publisher could ever afford to hire S r-no ugh reporters to cover his terri- s :oi-y as intensively as it should be p covered. And it is well that he can- c not. It is better for the community t' :o feel its responsibilities with the p editor in making a representative c newspaper." Mr. Atwood's dream may never be J :ully realized, but he is right when he ;ays the country weekly is just what ; he people of the community make it. ~ f they take an interest in it and give j" z good support, it will be a credit to I hem. No editor or publisher, no mat- I ;er how hardworking or brilliant, can ? nake a good newspaper in a field F vhich does not support its local paper. If the local newspaper is dull and uninteresting, it is because it gets that kind of support. ^ _____ V AFFAIRS OF BANK ON SOUND BASIS Anderson, July 2.?The affairs of the Bank of 'Mt. Carmel and also the branch bank at Calhoun Falls are . in sound condition, stated W. Frank j. McGee, president of both institutions today. An audit is being made at the Bank of Mt.
