p ' The Press and Banner B7HUGH WILSON.Wednesday, Sept. 30, 1891. Twelve Pages. Opening Dnys. Last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the millinery stores put tnelr splendid Wiuter stocks on exhibition, ana nearly all the ladies in town were on our streets or assembled at their counters. It wo*uld be Impossible for this editor to describe the beauty and splendor 01 the scenes within their doors. We can only weep because we have no one for whom we can buy a bonnet. Husbands and fathers who desire to buy the best women in the world the prettiest bonnets in the world are now ofl'ered the best opportunity in the world. The fame and beauty and cheapness of the Abbeville millinery has gone abroad, aud orders f?r "a love of a bonnet," come from every section, alike from the rich and the nr. While it is true that the prettiest thing (onnets this year is a pretty face, it is also true that the prettiest bonnets can be had at Abbeville, and everybody knows that a pretty bonnet make6 a pretty woman simply divine. Let husbands and fathers then honor themselves by adorning the loved ones with * the suitable bonnets which may be had at Abbeville. Death or Thomas Irwin. Mr. Thomas Irwin was burled at Lebanon tn thiB county last Monday, 28th of September, 1891. He was born in Iretand and came to this country'41 or'42. Most of his life was spent in Abbeville county, and those who knew him olll romcinhAr him rr an honorable, in dustrlous and useful man. His home has been in Charleston since the war, and he died in that city on 23rd Inst, at the advanced age of seventy years. Truly "a long life was given unto him," and he ever lived tne life of a true Christian In connection with the Westminster Presbyterian churoh, and he died the death of the righteous with the blessed hope ot a glorious immortality. Mr. Irwin was the father of Mr. A. M. Irwin, of Antrevllle, in this county. We extend him our sympathy, and feel sure that like sympathy from the hearts of many friends goes out to him and the entire family in this day of bereavement. Cottou Shipped September 29, 1891.

Back From the North. Mr. Heaths, of the Arm of O. P. Heath & Co., has Just returned from Mew York, and be will soon open a most charming stock of goods. The beauty of the store window Is only indicative ot the superb goods within. Polite gentleman ever stand anxious to show splendid goods and to give the best of bargalas to all who may come. Back Home. Mr. W. O. Smith,of Callaham, Florida, was in town for a day or two last week. He is an able man who is doing well in his adopted home. His good looks and general appearance would testify to his thrilt and success. To Be Closed. The store of Messrs. P. Rosenberg & Co., will be closed on next Saturday, October 3, and on Monday, October 12, on account of religious holidays. The opening last week at Haddon's proved a success, not only in the fact of there being crowds of beautiful ladleB that thronged the store, but in the grand and magnificent die play of beautiful bats, trimmed in the very lo'Mt atvla Their mllllnprv mnniR are crowded with lovely bats, and trimmings of every description. It would be a great saving of money, and certainly a pleasant visit, when anything In tbeir line is needed. In tbe front part of theirstore were a number of figures over wbich were draped Bome of tbe loveliest abades and textures In dress goods of tbe season. No lady wishing the latest productions in millinery dress goods, &c., could do better than call at the emporium ol fashion. Mr John Evans was in town last Saturday. He informs us that Bradley's mill, on Long Cane, has been re-built for grinding corn, and that the machinery is iu first class fix. Hon.J.E. Bradley Is tbe owner.

He thinks tbe cotton crop in bis section will not be us good as it was hoped at one time it would be. From him we also learned of tbe death of Mr. J. W. Child, the father of Mrs. Minnie Wilson. He was a Knight of Honor. He moved from Abbeville county many years ago. Judge Lyon speaking of the trip of the committee to Mllledgeville.

The turn-table at our depot gave way a few dayb ago. It Is now being rebuilt. The engine runs back and forth, between Abbeville and Hodges, without turning. A "y" might be had a little way down the road, much cheaper than a turn-table can be kept up. Treasurer Blake presents a readable article this week. Tax-payers would do well to read it and heed it.

SAKBOM TAbK ABOUT OUWS&IB9. Cotton Will Hereafter Be Ginned and Packed in the Markets where Knlil. The cotton gins and tho oil mill were very busy the latter part of last week. The good work of ourgius is having its effect on the cotton-ginning business, and each succeeding year they do more work than during the preceding season. The fitrmer8 are beginning to realize the saving in time and money incident to carrying their cotton toa centre where an ample supply of machinery and all the appliances for prompt work are always to be found, and where ready sales can be made. Many farmers load their cotton In the field and bring it to the gin Immediately, without ever taking it from the wagon. This saves the handling, waste and loss of time incident to needlessly throwing of it off and on the wagon, and otherwise prevents loss in weight. Everybody has now about become convinced that it Is to their advantage to sell both the seed and the lint fresh from the field. As there is no delay in getting any amount of cotton ginned any day In the week at Abbeville, cotton is coming a distance from eight to eleven miles from the country. The roads being good now it Is greatly to the advantage of those living at a distance to bring their seed to market before the wet weather sets in. And those who owe debts In town strengthen their credit by prompt payments, while those who have money to spend have the largest and choicest stocks of the best ana most lasnioDaoie gooue iruiu which to select. j A two-horse wagon is fully looded with a bale of cotton In the seed, aud so nothing at all is lost by bringing the seed and the lint together. The ginneries buy all the seed that Is ottered, and up to this time but very little seed has been returned to the country, and as it has been demonstrated beyond question that cotton s?>ed hulls and meal make better leed for cuttle thau the raw seed, less seed will be fed this year than ever befoi e. ; The oil mill haa been running only about twelve hours a day, but arrangements are being made to run the mill day and night. Seed is accumulating on their hands to such < an extent that if no more were received three weeks time would be required in which to grind It up. From the present outlook, the Superln- , tendent, Mr. Ferguson, thinks that three hundred thousand tons will be ground this season at the Abbeville oil mill, and It is thought that four thousand bales will be 1 ginned in town this season, being and In crease over last year of about one thousand bales, and from present Indications It will not be many years before all the cotton In the country wlu be ginned and packed In the | market where it Is sold. The delay and labor of hanllng the seed ootton to other places than the market involves considerable loss to the planter, and the probability is, that all will sooner or later adopt the improved and i cheaper methods. 1 For the last few days the glnnerv has been running In the day time and the oil mill in the night time. This was necessitated be cause 01 scarcity ui water, oat taut uiuicuitjr will be remedied In a day or two,| when the ginnery will run during the day, and the fire in the furnace will not be allowed to die out between Monday morning and Saturday noon. Ab there are bnyers of seed at every town where there are ginneries and buyers of cot- i ton. the cotton as It oomes from the held will naturally gravitate to those points and every 1 railroad depot, which is located In a cotton centre, will have its ginnery, and planters I will patronize those ginneries which are in i tbe markets where they propose to sell their | seed and lint. Wben cotton is loaded on wagons it makes very little difference in cost, whether a man takes It three miles or ten, but tbe advan- I tage of quick work and prompt Bales, Is greatly preferred to disappointments, short i hauls and frequent reloading. j The fact is, If a man is going to sell both the seed and tbe lint, be wastes bis time and labor if be does not take it dire?tly to tbe j market, and be done wltb it at once. Wbat'6 the use oi hauling it about over tbe country, and loading and reloading it several times before taking it to market? It makes no dlfierence bow far a man may j live from market, he is wasting his time to gin and pack it before be brings it to any | market wbere there is a ginnery. At present the gins at Abbeville can gin in 1 any day all the cotton tbat may come to town lor tbat day, but In tbe natural order of things tbe demands upon them will be Increased and as a consequence tbe capacity of , tbe gins must be increased. Those firms who are In the butsluess must make their arrangements to tbat effect before tbe beginning of another season, or else other ginneries mnst be set up. f.paa than tf>n vpurfi nm w? harf nn pin at all at Abbeville. Then one gin was 6et up, another was added, and later a third gin was added. After that Henry's ginnery was set . up, with one or two gins. Then the oil mill bought oat the McMillan and the Henry ginneries. and set up a big concern of their own. , The ginnery of R. C. Wilson <fe Co., was set up, with a capacity of twenty or thirty b&leB I a day, and now six Immense gins at the oil mill, three splendid gins at the MoMlllan i gin, and two first rate gins at R. C. Wilson 1 & Go's, are kept mare busy than was the single gin the first year that It was run. when It { ginned perhaps one twelfth of tne cotton which was sold in this market. From 700 or 800 bales the work has Increased every year, | until now It is thought that the amount of 1 cotton in the seed which will be brought to this market will be about four thouBuna bales, * or from thirty to forty per oent. of all the cotton that will be sold at this place. The advantage or saving In taking cotton to , market aB it comes from the field is so great that In the course of two or three years nearly the whole crop will be marketed in this ' way. As soon as other farmers find out the great advantage of the new methods they will also adopt the better plan, and bring their crops to market directly from the fields, and the ginneries at Abbeville, Donalds, Greenwood, Ninety-Six, and other central . points on the railroads might Just as well recognize at once the ?act that a great change Is taking place, and that they should make the necessary enlargements of their machinery to gin nine tenths of the cotton that will be sold In their respective markets. The demand upon them will be made. The people are Blow to break up old customs, but they are sure to bring their cotton from the fields directly to the market in which they intend to sell. Whatever other places may do, it 1b to be hoped that the ginneries at Abbeville may largely Increase their capacity before the beginning of another season. We will gin next year not less than six thousand bales?provided we have the capacity. Contributed Personal*. Mr. T. J.
