The development agent for the ieaboard railway was in Abbeville esterday and one of the questions e asked was "what does Abbeville ced most?" The question is passed n for more expert opinion. Mr, lobinson said one answer to the uestion was rather startling, a ertain citizen saying that the town eeded a good sized charge of dyna lite. He refused to divulge the name f this bolshevist. Offhand it might e said that the thing Abbfeville needs lost is 40 cent cotton?and posi ive assurance that it wouldn't go :gher. The State of the Sole Back in the days when prosperi y was pretty general the shoe re air men did a small business, and lmost the profession was de erted.

No longer is the shoe laker's work only a series of tack ig on rubber heels, but now his helves are packed with every ariety of dilapidated footwear, "hey are having their "dogs" lended as long as there is a wearable part big enough to hold heir stitch or nails. The cobblers re busy every day now and soles re doing double service.

EASON'S SPEECH Judge Gary's Stter Addresses Con* vention of Governors On the occasion of the conven ton of governors in Charleston in December one of the sessions was held in the historic old Ex change building in Charleston, which is now the property of the South Carolina D.

Mrs. Eason is a sister of Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary and Judge Frank B. Gary of Albbeville. The State of January 29 had the following account of the incident: , Rebecca Motto chapter, Daugh- 1 [ ters of the American Revolution, January 11, passed " the following , resolution: i "Whereas, on December 5, 1921, i the city of Charleston added a his tory making eipoch to the olck Ex > change building, the property of ( ; the D. A. R. of South Carolna, by i holding in tihe assemibly hall a con vention of governors of the United i States of America. "Whereas, the chamber of com merce honored the Rebecca Motte chapter, D. A. R. by requesting the regent, Mrs. Marie Gary Eason, to - make an address of welcome and retrospective of the events of moment that lhave taken place in this fortress of great memories. 1 "Whereas,) the regent di3 ! tinguishing herself with so marked ability that the governors rose en masse in compliment and esteem: 1 Be it resolved, That this chapter in appreciation of tihe organization being thus fittingly represented ? and sustained by tne regent, ask that her address be published in the Greenville News, The State, and the Charleston News and Courier and on some appropriate occasion be read before Rebecca Motte chapter. The address follows:' "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention of Governors: "Rebecca Motte chapter of the (Daughters of the American Revo lution bids you welcome to our city and to this the property of the South Carolina D. A. R., the scene of our labors and activities. "It has been truly sai'i t*iat his tory repeats itself. This truism was never more dtrfcinigijy illustrated than on' this occasion when the convention holds its session on | this historic spot. On many occa s.ons distinguished! personages havd^ honored the building by their presence. "It was here in 1774 that the provincial congress assembled to set up the first independent gov ernment established in America, and at the same session elected / delegates to the general congress I which later met in Philadelphia. Lord Campbell was here and heard I his commission read from the por [ tico in front. The people heard ! the proclamation 'in sullen sil ! ence.' "Here it was that Col. Isaac Hayne was held as a prisoner of war until 1781, when he was mer cilessly executed without trial by order of Colonel Balfour and Lord Rawdon. "It was in the basement that many distinguished patriots were imprisoned by the British. The list is too long to be given at this time. It was from the same porti co that the 'Father of Our Coun try' graciously received the honors bestowed upon him by the citizens of Charleston in 1791. "Here it was that a great ball was given in his honor. "It was here that the people of Charleston stored the cargoes of | tea that landed to prevent its sale and subsequently caused it to be ! emptied into the Cooper river, thus j nobly seconding the patriotic re volt of the Boston tea party. "This building is rich in patriot ic memories. Indeed it migiht truly be called the Faneuil Hall of Charleston. "Its hallowed associations will be enriched by your presence to day.
