THINK ABOUT IT. Another Cotton 91111 Should be Bnllt at Abbeville. We all know the good that has resulted from the building of our ootton mill. Beildes putting many thousands of dollars In circulation every month to Increase business of all kinds, lot owners have simply become rich In the enhanced value of tbelr lands. If, therefore, these good things have oome about because of the building of one cotton mill, 18 It not reasonable to suppose that another cotton mill would add atlll further to our Interests along all the lines? By a united effort In which a bnndred of our oitizens put their shoulders to the wheel, the Abbeville Cotton Mill became a success. With few exceptions the subscriptions were small, and nearly everybody sold at a small discount. But nobody regretted the trade. For a little while it looked as If our mill would go on tbe rocks. The stock went dcwn, away down, but now it is btld at lt? par value, Successful business management and favoring fortune have brought the Abbeville Cotton Mill victorious over all Its troubles. It Is now on tbe topmost crest. With past experience our people can manage better, and run shy of some of tbe mistakes of the past At one time this editor had prejudice for or against certain persons as business managers. Bat experience hag proven tbat the right man will sooner or later get the place, even i admitting that the wrong starts an enter-' prise. ? f ur our uwu purt, wo uu uui rntui nuvk bp ft dividend produoer. We want it to help build ft new mill. Wblle we would not boy stock In any old well established Institution we may be depended upon to take stock in any new enterprise, with tbedlstlnot understanding tbat It Is for sale at tbe right time. Tbe motive for taking slock Is to boost tbe business Interests and tbe real estate values. Tbe Increased real estate values at Abbeville woald pay for tbe Abbeville Cotton Mill. Tearing away the Land-marks. Contractor Mlnshall nas begun tbe work of tearing away tbe Oneal Office buildings and will In a few days begin tearing away tbe Court House. All of tbe safes and bea7y furniture of tbe Court House are being moved oat, and new quarters are being arranged for tbe offloers In tbe Old Miller Hotel. Tb e erection of these pplendld new buildings Bhould mark a new era In tbe growth o Abbeville. The farmers of the county are prosperous, our merchants are prosperous and existing pnbllo enterprises are prosperous We are nearer to tbe great; water power at Calboan Falls than any other city. We have the master brick maker of tbe state In tbe person of Mr. J. L. MoMlllan. Will we sit quietly by and allow tbe power to be carried over our beads to other cities which are com petlng with ns for bmtnest? Are |we content to mark time while other lnslgnlUcani railway stations march np and take position Id oar rank? Will we by our negligence o ntribnte to tbe growth of our competitors? Let tbe business men o{ Abbeville rlBe np a? one man and in one voice say no. We need another cotton mill and we mav tin !t If will It. .Tnst to start thflhn.ll In motion, the Press and Banner will atart the subscription to the capital stock at $2000. ?' V . Let tbe Commercial Club take tbe matter up at Its next meeting and see that all follow salt and get In tbe name. WEST END r Mr. Charles Floyd of Montgomery, Ala.

His father had given him a new 0 rifle and a new canoe, and now iu the C Adirondacks, near Upper St. RegiB c Lake, he was expecting to Bhoot his first deer. On an August day he went from camp with Calvin, the guide, and was about to embark on c the lake. It was so lovely that Fergus held * bis breath to look, till all at once he ' felt Calvin's hand on bis shoulder. 0 One look at tbe guide's face and - he t knew that something was happening, t At first Fergus heard nothing but o bis own heart beats. Then as hd re- j covered himself a little, he could hear c a rustle and an occasional crackle, ( and presently, looking up the bank, lie discerned the swaying of a bush. Something was moving there. Suddenly tbe bushes parted and a . bead looked through! It was the head of which Fergus had longingly 1 dreamed, a beautiful antlerea head c held proudly up, the eyes alert, the v nostras wide apart. As the creature i broke from cover his moutb was open, t be was hot and thirsty anil eager to E get at the water. ^ "Does he see us?" whispered Cal- _ vin. , Fergus shook bis head. , "Let him get well out of the bushes, 1 then raise your rifle," whispered the guide. I Inch by inch Fergus had already lifted his rifle and was now looking along it when the deer advanced, coming twenty feet nearer. Then i assuring himself that all was safe, he c stood, bis ears at a sharp angle direct- i ly facing Fergus. B Fergus could see the beautiful, e scared eyes of the deer. . "Fire," said Calvin. But instead, Fergus dropped his * _:ii? i. vi_ J - mi t ruie iu uis oiue. lutre was a suuaeii * movement, a crashing of boughs, and the place was empty. "Why, Fergus!'' cried Calvin, disappointed and amazed, "why, Fergus!" ? He looked curiously into the boy's- a face and discovered that each bright { eye had a tear in it, and that the under lip was quivering. "O, Calvin!" cried Fergus, "I 0 couldn't do it. I hadn't the neart to * do it. I'd die myself before I'd kill * anything so beautiful!" i , r . o jOconee Property1 FOR SALE.

Whoa the boy has shown them th? oom, the guest should not hesitate to ay so if he does not like it There are oubtiees others empty, and It Is the lerk's place to try to pleaae. Another great blunder Is not to ask be price of the room before looking at L Many a man feels reluctant to do bis, but It is purely business.

When a woman Is alone, she should iot go to the office. All that is neces ary Is to take a seat In the parlor ana end her card to the clerk, sta.tlng rhether she wants a bathroom or not Ad exactly the kind of accommodaIons she wants. She should frankly say If she wishes . quiet mm, a am all room, an Inezpensive room or any preference sh? nay have.
