We are not able to understand how he and his houo hoon miclpri lnt/i anv 8UCh great interest in behalf of the miners. If be and his sateiites had proposed to gin and pack the cotton of the farmers free of cost, we could have understood that the object was to do something for the material advance luent of our people. Instead of a warehouse in which to store cotton, let the Government put up a public gin house at every Court House, where all good Alllancemen could get their cotton ginned free of cost ?

' 1 %:V" B?MWBWMWWWWWWMWMWI OLEMSON'S HARTIOULTUEIST Mr. J. F. C. DnPre, of Abbeville, Ik Elected to the Place. Abbeville will furnish Clemson College with her Hartlculturlst, and no better man for the place could have been found. By nature and education he Is eminently qualified | I for the discharge of the duties. We make the following statement to show In wnat high esteem Mr. DuPre is held by our people, and i show that he is a self-made man. Born at Pendleton August 1st, |1831, moved to Lowndesvllle in this county January, 1S45, where he resided until be entered the Con | federate service in 1862. Returning in 1865, be moved to Georgia near Atlanta, but returned in November, 1865, and settled at Abbeville C. H., S. C? since which time he has resided in our town. Mr. DuPre has had a varied and eventful life. Starting in life a poor boy with no educational advantages. He served his time as an apprentlc at the blacksmith trade, at which he worked for several years. Entering a store in Lowndesville as a clerk,) be jplacea himself under the case of tbat eminent educator, the late lamented W. A. Giles, Esq., and for ten years devoted every leisure hour to the study of mathematics and Buch English branches as would give him a thorough business education in which he did credit, both to himself and his preceptor. At Abbeville he entered a store as a clerk, then engaged In merchandising. Later was appointed County Treasurer. Afterwards elected and served as School Commissionerwas three times elected high sheriff, and Is now serving bis second term as county Commissioner. One remarkable fact in his life is that he never offered for an elective, or asked for an appointive omce Dut wnai ne uoiuiucu lit. He Is a Mason of high standing in the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Council, and is a Knight Templar. In all these be has held high office. Is a member ot the Methodist church, and for 18 years has been an officer in the Connty Bible Society. I In all these years be bas devoted all bin spare time to the cultivation of the various Held crops, vegetables, fruits, <&c., but especially to vegetables and flowers. To the cultivation of which be Is not only devoted, but has been eminently successful. No one who saw the rugged rockey waste known as Secession Hill six years ago would have supposed that anything more than briars and thorns could have even lived upon it. Yet, now we see all the fruits of our climate, all the vegetables of our section, together with thousands of green house and tropical plants in such profusion and luxuriance as makes it the pride of our town and a wonder to those who see it The town and the county will regret the removal of Mr. DuPre?a good citizen, a thorough business man?one who bas done much for his adopted oountry. We will loose a genial whole-souled gentleman, and one who will long be remembered by the children and young people of our town who have eaten his fruits and worn his flowers. Clemson College will gain a man thoroughly qualified to fill the position for which he has been selected. CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS. Survivors Association Organised Sale Day In Aairuitt, 1801.

Cannon have been organized as the Enterprise Ginning Company, and have bought the McMillan ginnery, where they will gin cotton, and branch out into other Industries as occasion may offer. At present, among other things, they contemplate the manufacture of ice. A planing mill and a plant for making doors, sash, &c., may be added. The prosperity of the town depends largely on its manufacturing enterprises, and ft should be the duty of every one to encourage the organization of as many industrial enterprises as possible. Every enterprise that gives employment to any citizen is a public benefit. Even in a town like Abbeville, as it is to-day, there are persons here who desire profitable and constant employment, but from the lack of Industrial enterprises are now dependent upon odd Jobs and consequently are idle much of their time. AUUOVIUO UlUOb 5V<(>o uiv'vvu uvi auu Ubi people must go to work, We must be prepared to offer work to the oltlzens of other sections who may be disposed to come and settle amongst us. The Idea that the railroads of themselves will build a town is an exploded theory. It requires pluck and enterprise to build up a town. DEATH OF JOHN S, McLAIN.
