We reouire the name and address of the writer in every case, not for publi cation but for our protection. No arti cle which is defamatory any offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not respon sible for the opinions expressed in our communication The editor of the Abbeville Press and Banner has put the seal of disap proval on the county chain gang, con tending that the county could save money and secure greater and better results by abandoning the present plan of working the public highways with MHprict labor. The Press and Banner dons not stand on any half-way ground in its view of the matter. ‘The people well realize,” it says, “that the ity chain gang with ita numerous and guards must go, or the county will be bankrupt. The expen ses of maintaining this institution so far out measure the visible results that a thoughtful business man should abandon the enterprise. It takes too much money to guard these convicts, and too much to feed, clothe, and main i; too much to keep the organ g to make it anything ex eept a constant drain upon the resour ces! of this county. At least half the time the roads are not in condition to be worked; and the convicts are idle in so far as doing effective work is con cerned. But during this time the salaries of the guards and bosses, the meat bills, and the bread bills, the feed for stock, and other expenses, all these, like interest, goon—go on night and day and on Sundays." This is a pretty strong presentment of the chain gang, but the editor of the Press and Banner no doubt knows what he is talking about, and what is true of Abbeville County is probably also true of other counties in the State. A com prehensive study of conditions through out South Carolina would no doubt as sist materially in deciding whether or not it would be more profitable to work the roads by contract than under the present system. funny when an item announcing that Miss Merry Merryvale is to be led to the altar gets into the paper as “led by a baiter!” • ____ Funny, isn’t is? Yes, it is! It de pends on (he point of view. Some people may think a paralyzed man with the itchr is the height df the ridicu lous, but what does the paralyzed man think about it? We are all apt to make mistakes. Don’t forget that. What would you think if the editor put some of your mistakes into the paper, which by the way we have no intention of doing? 'As an editor we wouldn’t be much of a hair-pin if we were bent that way. But the next time you see I something in the paper which you re gard as a sure sign of the editor’s feeble-mindedness, just say the devil did it, and, by heck, we’ll back you up. THURSDAY AUGUST 5, 1915. Weather Forecaet. Issued by the 1 U. S. Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C., for the week be ginning Wednesday, August 4: Generally fair weather will prevail, except that local day showers are probable in the Florida peninsula Temperatures nearly normal Typographical Errors. Every week this paper, and every Other paper in the country, has a number of errors—typographical and otherwise. That’s one of the reasons a good many people think the editor should have been a blacksmith. But what of the editor’s viewpoint? If there’s one thing better calculated to turn rosy youth to doddering old age than, for instance, to get death notices and weather predictions so mixed that the darned thing comes out in the paper “Mrs. William Williams died last night. She has gone where it is—116 degrees in the shade with rising tem perature tomorrow,” well, we’d like to know what it is. Maybe you think it pleasant to walk down the street and hear some grin ning idiot with a head like a German pan cake and a brain like an addled egg folding^upjhe sheet to caustic criticism and the editor to conscienceless scorn! Maybe you think it nice to hear some member of the vacuum family remark, that the editor must make up his paper with a shovel! • Or some Pinhead Percy wonder why the editor doesn’t ' te read preeds! [ yea think it Parties desiring to con tract for their winter supply should see us before buying else where. We have con tracted for large quan tities and will give our customers the benefit of the very low prices at which we purchased. B.B. EASTERLING Barnwell, S. C. Lyndhurtt Item*.
