' \U !01 We don't know anything about it, q and therefore we are possibly best i fitted to express an opinion, but,^ some time ago we remarked to a1 few friends that we did not know|n +Vio rnon srw? VtnrJ riot, seen mUCil of ' i . ... _ ( D( him in the newspapers, but somehow j ^ we felt that the coming man for the! c< Democrats to put forward at the San j ^ Francisco convention, if they want-1 ed to win in the national Section this, ^ year, is Gov. Cox of Ohio. We no-j ^ tice laielv in the newspapers that he ; * . , ' ei is beijig mentioned prominently as;^ the strongest man in the Democratic!, fold. | i " We have read a few of his speech- j a es or rather extracts from them, and j aj he has impressed us as among the j strongest men in the party today, i j And a man who can carry the nat- J 0j ural Republican state of Ohio three j \ * times in succession for the governor- j 0j ship must be considerably above the j ordinary in many respects. |n, * You keep your eye on Cox now. e for the next few weeks, and see if1 a J what we say is not in the neighbor-j j hood of correct. He stands square- j ft ly with President Wilson, and you j a] may say what you please and differ j tc with the president if you desire, but j je he is the dominating factor in Amen- j (j j can politics today, and he is going^to te heard from when the proper U} time comes, and no man who is op- S( . posed to him will stand any chance j ^ of the nomination, and if he should' tc be nominated will stand a still less chance of being elected. We are not: ni a predestinarian in any sense of the ' e, term, but somehow we just can not j ]j get away from the idea that Wood- c( row Wilson is a man of destiny, and j a was brought forward as the man to: e] lead in this crisis in the world drama, ' f( and that his ideas and position on g the peace treaty and the league of sc nations is going to be in the end i sr adopted by the peoples of the world, ; &\ and that the United States is just as er * 1 '* 4.1. sure to aciopi it as n iu wcic auwuj done. And the man who does not ai agree with the Wilson ideas and doc-;s^ trines will stand no shadow of a! ze chance of winning before the Ameri-' ]e can people, whether he be labelled a jn Democrat or Republicap. And the ' ai coming man is Cox of Ohio. ' m ; ABBEVILLE LONG AGO. jn< 4.. The Greenwood Index-Journal pub- \ in lished an article from the Press and th \ Banner of May, 1884, which gives w a review of the history of Abbeville th - ! from 1859 to 1884 as taken irom ui the files of the paper. Of course the j th items are short but some of them to very interesting. In fact all of | them are interesthing to some per- j sons. What wquld interest one may ; not interest another, but there will; "j be some one interested ifi all of the re items of the long ago. i tl We have had in mind for some lii time of doing the same thing fofjSi Newberry. We have the" files of the a< ' > > i 4-rtfxm 1 r# v- newspapers puoiisnea m tins back to 1849 or along about that'S 1 ^ ? time. Our labor for many years ai has been so exacting that we have u not had time for this sort of work, n< but now that t\vo of the Aull boys o' are with us and have relieved us of w many or the trying parts of the si newspaper game, *ve hope to find a] / ? \ time to take up this task. We are a. sure by diving into these files we S ' -I-l. -L _ -G ~ J mnnu -fopfc tVlflt 0 ITleiy 06 3. Die IU llliu iiia.ii j ^.?wu ---? , are interesting to the people even of j this busy and material age. ; w And somehow we feel that it would w be helpful to take the mind off so w much money making and dwell upon o the great facts of interest in our o own history. u In glancing over one instalment of tl this collection of facts concerning f< Abbeville of long ago we find this w statment: "The contract to build s: the Episcopal church awarded to d Blease and Baxter, of Newberry, c STififiO Snire to be 130 feet." a That was in 1859. This church build-i ins: stands in Abbeville today and the spire must be the limit set out in n the contract. We never knew that f] the building was erected by a New- b berry firm until we read this state- i: rr.ent. t It is also stated that the population c of the town of Cokesbury is 74 8, of t whom 35G are colored. The town v today is not even incorporated and c therefore the census for the town is r ; not taken separately, but in 1910 v the total population of the town of a fWpch:. y nlnrpd ?it 290. In 1900 "t! the population was 394. s Here is another item that may in- 1< tere~t. some of our A. P. fr'cnd^: g "Faculty of Fv~!c: > rci'-Te: Tt. C. u Grier, D. D.: Rev J. P. Pressley, D. ;f: / Rev.

He told us that the old Town ' j ouncil went out of office last week, i nd that a new set of officers took j t le places of those whose terms had ? tpired. In a period of one year j ot a single infraction of the law had ' een charged against anybody. There ; 1 ad been no fighting, no disorderly; induct, no swearing (although there j ; a printing office in the town) no;I ambling, no turkey-stealing, and no- j < ody had exceeded the speed-limit. c ] nd Due West has no policeman | ^ ither. Ail of this speaks well for;^ hat Capt. Billy Smith was accus-1* >med to call the Holy City. Not j J lany other places, if any, can show i ( record like this.?Abbeville Press :: c nd Banner. 11 j( The above is from a recent issue J * I the Abbeville Press and Banner. ? nd just to think that Editor Greene t t the Press and Banner and Elder z Hemphill of the Spartanburg Jour- j ? al had the nerve to suggest that f rskine college should be moved from j town like this. This statement is but further conrmation of what we have said ail . j F long that Due West was an ideal j >wn for a college, and as a seat of j arning it has no equal on the globe.; I an you name another town with j ich excellent environment and where j le atmosphere for law and order is j > pure as in this good town of Due I i ?est. How could you then even en- j * ?rtain the suggestion that the Ers- ; j ine college should even think for a j loment of changing its location,! ren though you should throw mil-! c ons of dollars into the coffers? They J i >uld not even compare or stand for, moment in the balance with such I ] ivironment as you admit is' to be ( mnd in this town. We know that; ditor Greene would desire that his ! ^ k >n Bill should be educated in just! ich an atmosphere as may be found T ; Due West, where there is rever-j ice for law and order and where : j lere is respect for the things ?hat j 'e true and beautiful and Saat j p and for good ,'honest upright citi- j > snship. Only that more of our col-1 3 i ji ges and higher institutions of learng were set amid such surroundings j id evironments. It would mean j ore for the citizenship of our State.' What makes a good town? It is j )t numbers, nor wealth nor learn-! g mainly. But the integrity and j I le honesty and the manhood and the omanhood that is true and pure and i ? at live in the fear of the Lord and | ( >ey aifcl follow His precepts and do j le things which are right and proper ? be done. . ^ 1 - % LAWYERS AND OVERALLS !* A dispatch from Columbia says:j \ rule in effect since January 1S36, j jquiring lawyers to appear before, le Supreme Court ^>f South Caro- j na wearing black coats, has been j ispended until October 1, 1920, on! [ ;count of overall clubs. At the; t jquest of members of the bar the ' ? apreme Court suspended the rule'J nd lawyers may appear in overalls J r ntil October 1." There is, of course, 1 o objection to lawyers appearing in i derails in the court room, but it 11 ould be much better should they / ! ispend the courts for a season, and j How the lawyers to appear in over-. lis in the cotton and corn fields of ** * * * i1 outn uaroima Deiween now ana ctober 1st.?Spartanburg Journal., 1 ^ The truth is they do not care about, j earing: overalls for the purpose for, < hich overalls were made, and if they ^ ant to help to reduce the high cost f things they had best get out some ' j f their old clothes and brush them ' p a little and not assist in putting ' le price of overalls up so that the ' allow who really needs the overalls ill have to pay extra for these neces- ] ities. Or as the Journal suggests 1 on the overalls and get out of the J ourt house into the field or the shop nd help produce something. : 1 i Speaking of the overalls clubs we otice that some one suggests that he formation of the bonnet brigade y the women would probably result i the greatest saving of any club hat could be .luu.'e. That is of ourse if the women would abandon hese high price nothings that they fear on their heads. And the cost f most of the hais is beyond all eason for the work and material irhich they contim. But the best nd most sane way in which to bring: he high cost down to a near at least , ane bas's is to waste less and spend ??:s and economise more, not nig-;1 ardly, but stop extravagance, and nt'! vv: do that no ?>cd is coming rom the overalls club?, and neither;' rom the bonnet breads. Of course ft >ur old clothes club will tell very j i oon. j& mm j j It is all rijrht to call olf the second j veefe of the civil court, but that will I t lot help materially, because since we j 1' lave irot rid of the Parr Shoals cases | ^ .. ! i" ve rarely have a full week of civil}; >usiness requiring a jury. What the ! j awyers should do is to call off !.hv! irst week ofvthe court and permit thef 'armers who may be on the jui v to J * I ? ;tay at home, and not molest; them; n any way, or do anything' that will j s ake them from the firm at this sea-j 1: >on, especially when every one is so i 'ar behind with farm work.
