EAST END. What "Mh Sees and Hears on His Rounds About the City and Along Route No. 3. If Abbeville needs any one tiling more than another it is a town clock. We have a beautiful city hall and a handsome town clock to ring out the hours all through the day and light would give new life to all, besides would be an ornament to the city. Let our up-to-date mayor and his wide ' 1 ? hold aWllKt? Hllil piu^ i trooi > c luv?? ..? of this idea and see that Abbeville has a town clock. What does the Civic League say? We know l?etweeii the two we should get what the city needs and could easily pet. Let all strike for a clock and it will strike for all. Mrs. Coleman and lire. McMillan are expected home this week after a long ab sence and a most enjoyable visit. Mr. Hannah, of Rock Hill, spent last Monday night in the city looking after his best interests?a pretty young lady on Magazine Hill. Many friends welcome Miss I annie Mor row back to her old home, where she has been spending her vacation with relatives and friends. All are glad to see her. The many friend6 of Miss Kate Marshall will be glad to know that she i? now able to visit her friends in the neighborhood. It was quite a compliment-to Capt. Sy fan, the polite and attentive conductor on the Abbeville branch, to give him the two nice coaches. It shows he has a strong hold on the head men, and that tiiey have full confidence in his judgment. He is receiv ing compliments irom tne i?uies every day. If all conductors were as polite and attentive as he, ladies would have no trou ble in traveling. Miss ltuth Dunn left yesterday for Mul lins, S. C., where she will spend sometime with her sister, Miss Cooper. Mr. Will Jordan and sister, Miss Lizzie, were the guests of Major Nance a*id fam ily last ISaturday.

W- SIMPSON DIED IN ATLANTA Anderson Daily Mail. Col. R. W. Simpson died in a sanitarium in Atlanta Thursday morning. His body was brought to Calhoun Thursday after nooii, and today was interred in the family burial ground on the Simpson farm, about three miles from Pendleton. Col. Simpson was taken to Atlanta some time ago. He entered the same sanita rium that Senator Tillman spent several weeks in last year. His condition, after getting to Atlanta, continued to get worse, and the end came some time Thursday uiorning. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. Col. R. W. Simpson was born at Pendle ton, September 11, 1849. His father was Hon. R. F. Simpson, an ex-congressman, a j major in the Creek Indian war. Col. Simp son is a descendant of the Taliaforo family! of Virginia and oilier Virginians oi num. He attended the schoo s of the date and; graduated from Wofford College in 1801. j From college he entered the service of the j Confederate army, enlisting in company A. i Third South Carolina regiment. It was one of the first regiments to enter Virginia. | He served in it between one and two years, i when, owing to bail health, he was dis-1 charged. After having partially recover ed his health he joined Maj. Adams' bat talion of cavalry. He was offered official positions but declined in every instance on j account ol poor health. From 1865 to 1874 Col. Simpson devoted | himself to agricultural pursuits in Ander-j son county. In 1874 he was elected to the legislature, and the next year was admitted to the bar. He was re-elected to the legis ture in 1876, and was one of the seven mein-1 bers who, in 1876, broke down the house of representees while the radical house yras in session, and led the Democrats in. He was one of the most active spirits of that revolution which restored the state to I white rule. He was a member of what I was known as the "Wallace House" in time j yt HkwIhuI |pirisln.tiire and was locked up! with it for four days and nights. As chair-1 man of the ways and means committee he rendered valued services to the state when j the radicals were doing all in their power j to bankrupt the state. He remained in the legislature until 1880, and since that time took no active part in state politics. Since 1882 lie has devoted himself to the practice of law. When in the legislature Col. Simpson be gan an active light to get a collegc. estab lished for the poor boys of the state. He labored industriously for the accom- j pllshment of this purpose, and his efforts j iu this direction proved successful. He | ?u orittd*nti*l attorn*? for 7tu>?. <i. Ciemson, founder of Clemson College, and son-in-law of John C. Calhoun. After the death of Mr. Clemson he was made exe cutor of his estate, and was the defendant I in the celebrated case of Lee vs. Simpson, I which involved the entire Clemson proper-1 ty. When the board of trustees of the col-1 lege was organized he was elected president! and held that position until a few years ago when he voluntarily resigned. Hej took a personal interest in the establish ment of the college, and did much to make ; it a success. Col. Simpson was a member of the Meth- j odist church, and had takeu 30 degrees in Masonry. On February, 10, 18G3. Col. Simpson was rnariied to Miss. Marie Louise Garlington. Ten children were born of this marriage, nine of whom are now living.

I <1? sire t?> call your attention to the eighth series of stock to bo issued l?y tlio Building' and Loan Association of Abbe ville 011 July 20th, 1012. Every well organized and well conduct ed Building and Loan has two ambitions: ; one to leach men to save, the other to help them to own their homes. Our Association started business live years ago with #500, today our assets run up to $50,000. This amount has been got ten by small monthly payments from our stockholders?a good many paying $1 per month aiul tin? majority paying uum -tj to $10. The only way to nceuniulate any sum of i money is by systematic saving. The man | who savtfc $10 this month ami ?25 next month and then misses several will never yet ahead. Hut if you put aside a definite amount each month it will soon amount to a neat sum. Suppose you take ten shares of stock with us on July 20th, y?u will pay in $10 ' per month for 80, months, making: $<<00 you have saved. In that time the Asso ciation will have made #200 on this for you and we will pay over to you #1,000. With this amount, you can make some pood investment for yourself, while it! would have been hard for you to invest j at a time in a paying proposition. To make money last save it first. Our other ambition is for home build- : ing. We are now^helping 50 citizeus ofj Abbeville to pay for their homes by easy monthly payments. Every man should own his home. It! makes him a better citizen. The man who j pays rent is restless and careless, while j the home owner is interested in every- j thing about the place. With very little more put aside each iiRtnth than you pay rent, you can pay for j your home and in a short time become an independent home owner. Our Associstion is purely local, we leud only on real estate iu Abbeville township, and it is managed by nine directors who' have the interest of Abbeville at heart. We are doing a safe and prosperous business, and will be irlad to help you as ' we are now helpUitf others. Remember the next series will bo issued j July 20th. J. S. MOliSE, Sec. and Treas. ! N. J.
