MARSHALL FOCH IN ABBEVILLE
According to announcement in the
papers of yesterday it appears that
Marahal Foch is to be in Atlanta
December 9th, and that he will go
thence to Washington, most likely
over the Seaboard Air Line Railway.l
He is to.leave Atlanta at about noon, ,
and if the above information is cor- <
rect the distinguished visitor to this
country will pass through Abbeville '
at about six o'clock. The train upon
which he will travel will stop at the
shops in order that engines may be
changed and the Marshal will thus
be in Abbeville tor about ten min-i
utes. '
It may be that plans will be changed
but this seems to be the most likeJy
route to be taken by the Mar-j
shal's train. If he should pass
through Abbeville, the whole city and
countryside should turn out to pay'
him honor. And it is fitting that the |
great Frenchman should stop in thej
county named by another distin-j
guished Frenchman and for one of j
*
the cities in France around which soj
much fighting was done in the great j
war. In this county the colony of;
French Huguenots settled and here
scores of the descendants of the orig
inal colonists still reside.
The Mayor of the city and - the
Chamber of Commerce should get in
touch with those having charge of j
th? matter and snouia enaeavor to
have the Marshal pass this way and
stop, if only for a little while, in
the county of John De la Howe.
I SOME PRESSING NEEDS.
It pays to look ahead and select
definite goals for achievement in education,
and that is what progressive
citizens over the State are now doing.
Some things which would improve
our opportunities for better
educational facilities in the country
are:
1. A revision of tax laws. The
most apparent reason why there are
demands for the lowering of taxes is'
the reliance in the property tax. It isj
unthinkable that a revision of ourj
laws of taxation will be postponed j
for a longer time; and if there be any
more interested than others in abolishing
an antiquated tax system,
surely it is the farmers who should,
demand a new system, to secure'
equalization in assessments and a
fair distribution of governmental support
and of the blessings of efficient
government. An adequate support of
good government in this state will
not be burdensome with a modernized
taxing system. It is true that th:s
matter can be corrected in our sister
states of North Carolina and Virginia
and that those states are forging
ahead in progressive legislation
while we spend our time yearning
for release from obsolete entanglements?
2. We need a more efficient county
organization for the administration
of education. ,
3. The salaries of county superintendents
should be such as to
conmand the services of a professional
and energetic man or woman;
and professionally trained teachers
should be" rewarded in salary?the
increase in salary should be based
more on experience and quality of
work done.
4. The standards for building and
equipping country school houses
should be raised and modernized. A
closer supervision of plans and school
house construction is badly needed.

5. Compulsory attendance 6hould '
be made more effective. '
6. Institutions which train teach- 1
ers for country school work should 1
be given a more adequate support; '
the country school needs the best
teacher with specific'training for the
work and a right attitude toward the
importance of it. (
7. Every county should work out
a plan of consolidation, showing
where consolidation is feasible. This j
important matter should not be left
to guess, but the areas should be
mapped out and the facts given to "i
the people so they can see what is
best.
8. The elementary school of the '<
country should be strengthened and
limited to its work, and a good high
school education should be in the ,"1
reach of every country boy and girl.
The school which consolidates both
elementary and high school facilities J
has by far the best chance of success.?Winthrop

A GOOD TIME TO START.
In an address to a gathering of 1
business men in Atlantic City the
other day Charles M. Schwab declared
that if he had his life to live ^
over he would choose the present day '
for the beginning of a career. Mr.
Schwab is a person of sanguine temperament
but he is no Pollyanna. He <
has reason for the joy that is in him.
It is not an easy time just now to
make a start, but every one knows j j
though many forget, that business, 3
runs like a small boat at sea, always
going up toward the crest of a wave
or down into the trough. Any period |
of depression means that a rise is |j
coming and Mr. Schwab doubtless s
had in mind the fact that any property
or position that a young man
gains now will automatically be- ^
become better as years pass by sim- ^?
ply because this year is in the {
trough.
For the young man also the schooling
of these difficult times will be in-'
valuable. Two or three years ago (
making money was easy and the fer-|'<
vor for spending was epidemic. The <
young man who started then made
more money than he is likely to
make again for years to come and
as a consequence, he set out in life
with false idea of the money value ^
of his own services. He also imbibed!
the motion that this life is much easier
and much gayer than it really is. ^
He is getting a new start now on a ^
bad education and he will be unlearning
old lessons while the beginner
learns the truth.?Detroit

A FEW KIND WORDS
: i
Chester Newi Writes Up Game in 1
Tolerant Vein.
The Chester News in its last issue 1
has the following to say of the Albbeville
Hi's visit to Chester: *
"The game of football (between
Chester and Afbbeville played on the
Fair Grounds yesterday afternoon,
was a very one-sided affair, the
score being 107 to 0 in favor of
Chester.
"In the first quarter Chester came -j
in for six touch-downs with four
goals. The second quarter was the ,
slowest in the matter of touch- ^
downs Chester making only one. In r>
the third quarter Chester came out
with 20 points, and in the last quarter
40 points went down on the
score. ,
"Notwithstanding the one-sided ;
score it cannot be sa*d that Abbe- j
ville really has a poor high school j
team. The visitors played well and ;
they payed a clean game all the
way through. Thre was no rough
ball on either side. Although a
couple of the Abbeville men were
knocked out, it was accidental and I
not on account of any rough playing.
One of the Abbeville boys, near the
close of the game, had the misfor
tune to break his nose.
"Rdbinson stood out as the star
for Chester in the game yesterday on
forward passes. Pressley also
came in for a bunch of touch-downs
which made right through Abbeville's ]
line.
"Hugh Bradley, evidently A/bbe- :
ville's balby player, did real nice '
work for a kid. It was real amusing
to see him tackle Kirkpatrick, and
once or twice he downed him by
catching his legs. In the line of skirmish
the -Chester -boyc left the field :
open to him and let him wander as 4
he choose. In fact when it was necessary
to tackle the kid the local boys
would endeavor to hold him up and
not let him go in undeT the bottom/' 1
