What He Naj'fi of the Trip. Elberton Star Last Sunday afternoon we boarded the 12.15 train for Abbeville. S. C.. Intending to SDend an hour or so, and return, but we got left. This Is how it was; After a good dinner at the McCantz Hotel, we called on that prince of bachelors, and one of the ablest journalists in the Palmetto State, editor of that sterling paper, The Abbeville Press and Banner. Mr. Hugh Wilson. Mr. Wilson was at home in his sanctum which Is comfortably and cozlly furnished, with inviting rocking and reclining chairs, library, charming brlc-abrac etc., and Mr. Wilson himself was as brieht and cheery as the merry birds that caroled their sweet notes In the balmy sunlight of the May-like day. Mr. Wilson has been editing the Press and banner;? years, aua ne nas me oesi omce outfit we ever saw in a town the size of Abbeville. He has been wonderfully successful In his business. The time flew so fast while looking through his office, that when we looked at our watch, we were astonished to see that the time was past for our train, 60 there was nothing to do but to accept the hospitality of our host for the night. We walked over the site of the contemplated railroad shops, which is some hall or threequarters of a mile this side of the depot. The ground, which contains some 25 acres, has been surveyed and staked off, and Civil Engineer Cloud is now making plats of the same. Our understanding Is, Abbeville is to give 25 acres of land, which will cost 810 per acre, and 815,00(tln money, the railroad company to do the rest. We are told that a bill had been Introduced in the legislature to authorize the town to vote a tax for the amount required.
