The Abbeville Press and Ban n eS BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAKCH 22, 1893. ESTABLISHED jlSj|lM SHALL WE SELL OUR LAND ? 52 to " lot All Important Erft i:i Our History?

Abbeville Is now on the verge of a new era cun In her history and th<? tli?ien demand of laud- tun owntTs their most considerate action.

He M alone at Inst must take tlie consequence* of nioi v his own act. us a The huiitllnt; of the (?, C. ?fc N. Railway creti 1 hiouth the llmlls of our town inspired us htin wllh hope and gave activity to our commerce on ? whilee'iilveniniiall lines of <iur business pur- muc suits. Tlie inci eased railroad facilities no' If only gave new lire to our own industries and addi to our own mercantile interests, tint thesd- nair vantages which we are enable*! to present are the attracting new men and uew industries within our borders, anil they in turn give value to and demand for all kinds of property. .w JJecuuseof this increased demand for houses \ , aiid building lots, the price ol real entitle has *w been greatly raised in nil parts of town. .? Some lands have changed hands at tlie In? creased price,and others are held at >1111 hl^h CJ ugiucn. Wnether the new growth which the town Ih . j" now taking 011 will warrant 1 lie prices now demanded Is a question which the Press and banner cannotanswer. Each landowner and .J' each buver must settle ti.ut question for him- ; self. Having In the past made so many mis- , ,, takes himself the editor would hot assume to . r,, glvennybody any advice as to the Investment ? of money, but be may be pardoned If he give* \\{, some opinions, based on {acts, experience and \ ,.? observation. , ' It is admitted In the first place that there -Th will be a demand for any where from twem> with to fifty bouses. For the erection of each oi tal p these houses any where from half an acre ton *t tfi full ncre w ill be needed. Nearly all this land Chri will likely be sought in ttie nelKhtiorhoo't of dlsc< the Hailroad shoos. Mechanics c.innot cou wou veulently live in houses loo remote from thi*ir than place of business. The railroad people will neut then most likely buy the land lying in prox- the I tinIty to the shops. To what extent such de- ^i?y ii-and can eJl'ect lands In the other parts of estln town Is a question which we run not answer, 'he Outside of the railroad folk the demand lor reint building lots Is not great, but there is sum- cent, clentdcmaud to give a few landowners an op- mon poitnnlty to find a buyer lor their surplus tod?; tiiii.-i. and our Judgment Is, that when a rea- and mnable price Is oflered it is well to sell. The profit in the normal Intrease in tb?- to ? vulueoi town property is u-ually very slow, popu ? If there has been anv verv ereal Increase In (' the value of lands ou theoutskirts of town in Horn the last thirty yeais we are not aware of the '"K fact. iIihu Iiand is safe property loown.im* If it yields ever: no Income, where is the profit ?

To accomplish this purpose and t'? Ag gratify their vanity bonds of the State were sbou Issued and sold to such of ur citizens as had one t the ready cash with which to buy. sibill Jn the sixties or seventies, by bad manage- or 1 \ menl and dishonest administration of the (In r< government the Indebtedness of the proud old Ag< Stale of South Carolina had increased to ? eighteen millions. The Radicals repudiated & out-half of every debt, no. matter whethei 45 good, bad or indifferent?including the Slate 5 House bonds. tSi The Democrats, when they came Intopow 7; er, readjusted the remaining nine millions. Si throwing out some thr^e millions wbtcb were No tainted with fraud, but never once opened the abou door for those unfortunates who bad been ing t cheated out of half th?* monej which had mucl been lent to the Slate. The Demo- uatlc crats ratified the act whereby the Ridicnls iy in cheated our ueople. The Government ol <>f t South Cnrollna to-day refust-s to let these done swindled creditors of the State liave a hear- bogs Sng in (he United States Court whereby the |8 p| (iovernnien! could bfc made to pay her honest m{,st debts. Instead or standing as a rowc monument to the credit and h'?nor of our (jj,,,, forefathers, Its floors of marble and Its ?f u, wails ot granite are a testimonial or the rate shame and dishonesty of their desccndeuls. even By technicalities and legal quibbles, the ^ou buyers of railroad and township bonds In resul some instances have found that they have made mlsUikes?the Courts having declared that they spent their money for paper which was worthless?for papers which was fair to the promise and false 10 the performance. Our | eople being a rural people and having but Utile experience with bonds have been a little timid about Investing in such securities. Recently the town of Abbeville Issued fifteen thousand do lars worth ol bonds for the school h? use. nea-ly all o which was taken ^ by citizens ot the town und county of Abbe\lll.\ Cain Now, some seventeen thousand dollars il'?P worth of town bonds will soon be oil the mar- V, e ket In aid ot theG.,C'. & N. shops. Such men Me-ss as V\'. O Hradley, Esq, \V. ?j. McUowuu, Esq , 8H[n( Judge Cothrnn and others have signified Hn tlieir intention to buy s-oine ot the bonds, tlem Judge Cotbian, It is s-tld, will take pay In clJ?ri bonds lor the land which lie sellsto the shops. Wiille llih editor h:.s no advice togiveto ' any om-, yet he would show tils own faith In * .j1 them by Investing something in them. b9'd The p >lnt whleh we make Is, this Is an op- P|lar portuuity which does not olten occur, and w?re those cIlizetiK who of their own fre? will nnrl "'E accord are will.tig to put their money in such Siier bow's, might find this a suitable time to sell rmpri-ntabie l?n.l with which to Invest In these securities. All landowner* who nre In debt may now find an oppoi Iunlt> to Bell a pari ot their real property and riliwe themselves of the Interest burden. 11 While we belle* e ilie ptesent flurry to the piice ol hnul cannot very mateilally aftect Th the price m hind ni a distance from the new good road,and while we believe the pendulum will mad swing b:?(.k, even In thai directum, yet we see Mr no reason for our people to be panic stricken M6bs in any desire l<> part with their laud. it (a: But ue b< ll?ve if a good bid is made for tin-. <^u profitable or unproductive properly that It Is Saiu an opportunity nut to be turned down.

As well undertake to open a r< clothing store with only oue coat, it would be either too big or too little, too costly or too ?>iu( cheap. Ho with a house. The house does not u?bi suit the renter. No house in the town of Abbeville?(off the ??,j square)?will bring the money which it cost to ,hoi] build. Perhaps sixty to seventy-five per cent and of the cost of ihe house would be a fair price . for the house and the lot on which it stands. But of this others may know more than we Tb do. thos According to our way of thinking it would |0tc be Infinitely better for the owner to give away it,ei a building lot than to erect a dwelling house |,at> 011 It with a view to renting it. One thousand ttiei dollars oalely iuvesied at ten per cent, will, _ one year with another, yield more clear money than the reutol any dwelling house s?, ? l? AhtlAVlllP. ,.'i Men who lend money generally get rich, but ISIUt men who hold unproductive lands and own Il< dwelling houses to rent, often Hnd It hard to let a pay repairs, insurance and taxes. <<u One year in ten may be set down as being r, unoccupied, and a failure to collect a year's rent will ofiener occur. The palings will dis- ft appear, locks and glass will be broken, and and leaks iu the roof will coine. Slor Without offering advice to anybody, we jf, give It as our opinion that unprofitable or un- j,ott productlcelandsare undesirable investments. We believe it a mistake to build a house to rent In a small town. es> We believe every head of a family should Ti strive to own a house and lot or his own, and at 1' wc further believe that a desirable lot is of j q, tlie greatest Importance. Better leave the>^e bouse unfinished, or better build a very smallj yon hou.se, than to build on u cheap lot out of town or ou one anywhere which may be too ~ small. a,,t" A learned divine In urging the beads of W" - " -> . . -; . . -v - ' lilies to provide homes said that the own- TTflT tilp of laud added dignity and Importance H HI his being?the ownership of a house and put him In partnership with G )d himself. i this connection, we present o;ir readers h an article oh the subject of Interest, as * en Irom a newspaper.
