JUDGES AND LAW.
The Press and Banner is pretty
severe on Justice Clark of the United
States Supreme court for his criti
cism of the 18th amendment in a
speech at the annual dinner of the
New York Law school.
So, judges may be criticised some
times. It will say, though, that this
was an "obiter dictum;" but what J
the judge saifl was no less influential |
+Vo* ?if was an pnpour. I
ageroent to bootleggers and all that
gang.
For our part, we like to see the
courts and the laws respected; but
there's no divinty that hedges a
judge, or a king either.?Newberry
Observer.
There must be a distinction made
between the decisions of the court
and speeches of Judges.
Due-Weatic&lly Inhibited.
Dr. John E. White of Anderson
brought home from Atlanta the other
day a story that Deacon Hemphill
elone can quite fully savor. Having
an afternoon in Atlanta free, Dr.
White went out for a round on the
links, there encountering old friends,
Epps Brown, president of the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
company, and John Brice, business
manager of the Atlanta Journal.
"Glad to see you, gentlemen," Dr.
Wfcvf-o "T'vp hppn told that if
you see a business man playing golf
on Monday it is a sign he didn't play
Sunday." "Well, doctor," Epps
Brown replied, "I doubt if John or
I would play to form on the Sab
bath, or feel comfortable on the links
that day. Both of us, you see, were
educated at Due West."?The State.
FEW MORE DAYS
.FOR TAXPAYERS
Extension (or 1921 to Expire the
1st of June
Nine more days remain for South
Carolinians to pay their state and
cmintv taxes for 1921 without execu
tions being made up. Under the
terms of the joint resolution passed
at the last session of the legislature
extending the time for paying 1921
taxes, executions are to be made up
After June 1, but are to be held by
the county treasurer until Septem
ber 1, when they will be turned over
to the sheriff.
An eight per cent, penalty goes in
to effect the morning of June 1.
From June 1 until September 1 the
taxpayer, who has not already paid
his taxes, can meet his obligation by
paying the eight per cent, penalty
and thus escape a visit of the sheriff.
A considerable amoftnt of 1921
taxes is still due.

Meeting half an hour earlier than j
usual this morning, the general;
conference here of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South raced

A COUNTY FAIR
Abbeville County Need* a County
Fair.
Realizing the value and advantage
to the farmers and to the County
a County Fair, it has occurred to me
that it is a great loss to Abbeville
County not to have a County Fair.
Agriculture is the most noble
work of man and it is the foundation
of the* prosperity of Abbeville Coun
ty. Today, agriculture is going thru
a decided change and many people
will suffer financial losses by not us
ing common sense and sound busi
ness judgment in rearranging their
farming operations. A County Fair
will play an important part in assist
ing the farmers to make these
changes.
The County Fair is also the show
winrlnw tn the nrosDeritv of the
county. There is no other means by
whieh the farm products can be dis
played to the very best advantage.
I have mentioned the problem to
several of the very best business men
and farmers of Abbeville County and
in every instance, I have met with
hearty response and offers of assist
ance.. We can have this fair if you
so desire and are willing to help put
it across. Abbeville County has the
material to put on one of the best
fairs in South Carolina and by prop
er methods of advertisement can be
made one of the leading counties in
South Carolina. Why not begin on
this and have a County Fair to be
held in Abbeville County at the
County seat during the month of
September.
In my estimation a county fair,
should perform the object for which
it was originally planned and that
object is to display the farm products
at an advantage to the county and
should not be a carnival and horse
race.
Please take this matter into very
serious consideration and after you
have thought about it, it is probable
that we will call a meeting to dis
cuss this matter and put the Fair
'through.
