The Theatre.
Did it ever occur to those reverend and
much beloved brethren who denounce the
theatre in unmeasured terms, that the desire
for the theatre is born in the human heart,
and that until, a miracle or the process of evolution
has changed his nature, man will de.
mand the theatre, and to answer that demand
the theatre will exist forever. The proper
thing for preachers to do is to strive to create
in the minds and hearts of the people a demand
for a clean theatre?a theatre which
will not corrupt. The theatre cannot be suppressed
and should not be suppressed. It
should not only be purified, but it should be
utilized as the handmaid of religion. There
is no inherent sin in the theatre itself, any
more than there is sin in a book. It depet ds
on the character of the theatre and the tenor
of the book as to whether there is sin in
either.
AH me i/uurea auu curihwuu peupie 01 iint
years hare to a very large extent utilized the
secular press for the dissemination of religious
truths, Is there any good reason why
the theatre Itself should not teach nobleness
of character and purity of heart while directing
devout and pious people to the foot of the
Cross?
The church people have corrected the evils
of the circus, and now the vulgarity and profanity
whloh formerly shocked the people, is
heard no more.
Ia there any reason why all needed reform
shoald not be brought about in the theatre ?
The theatre can be reformed, but it cannot
be suppressed. The desire for the theatre will
exist forever, and that desire will perpetuate
the theatre. Therefore strive to purily it.

THE RAILROAD SHOPS.
? el
VISIT OF MR. WINDER, GENERAL MAN- Sl
AGER OF THE G., C. & N. vl
Trying to Effect the Final Settlement
or the Whole Mutter?The Plant 8}
IncreaHetl From $30,000 to $110,? C(
000?Additional Item* of Varloun tc
Sort*. l
Last Wednesday Mr. Winder, General Man- aj
ager of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern
Railway, came to town to conclude the trade t<
with the Town Council of Abbeville for the w
location of the railroad repair shops. 111
Owing to circumstances, the proposed plant
will be much larger than was first agreed tip- la
on, and in consequence of the enlargement of w
the plant from 550,000 to 8110,000. thirty acres, J'(
instead of fifteen acres, will he required on tr
which to put the buildings, tracks and mate
riais.
This enlargement of the plant requires
more money and more land than had been
provided for. The first understanding was
for tllteen acres, and 515,000. Judge Cothran B
gave an option on fifteen acres at $40 an acre.
And the matter stood thus: tl
If so much be necessary, the town
would pay for grading ?15,000
For 15 acres ol land at $40 600 a]
. A1
S15.600 T
To raise this amount an Act of the Leglstature
was passed authorizing the authorities to n
bond the town for 817,000of thirty year bonds, w
If so much be necet-sary, provided a majority h
of the qualified voters, voting, should vote
for the appropriation. After advertising the ^
election according to law, the election was
held, when a unanimous vote was cast favor- w
lug the iss-ue of the bonds to secure the rail- SI
road shops. y
Lust Wednesday, Mr. Winder made known fc
his wishes to secure a larger tract of land.
The difficulty now lay In the Increased price
which would be demanded lor the additional
fifteen acres.
The town council thought that it was not
their duty to provide the extra fifteen acres.
Mr. Winder objected to the increased price, lc
and gave as his ultimatum that he would ob- P
I igate the road to pay 550 an acre. Heclalmed bl
that the Increased value was owing entirety w
to the location of the shops and he would not
pay It.
Judge Cothran's object in offering the first
fifteen acres was with a view to creating a demand
for the inud surrounding the shops.
He thought lie should noi De deprived or Mie
enhanced price, while his neighbors were selling
their lands in the same vicinity at $200 an g
acre. ' 1
The council then conferred with the commlttee
which had heretofore been acting in
unison with the council in this matter, and
the amount required was figured down somewhat
after this fashion:
(trading $15,000
15 acres at $40 600
Engraving bonds 85
15 acres at $200 3,000 ~
$18,665 J
To pay this: |
Town bonds $17,000
Mr. Winder's contribution 750? 17,750
Leaving a deficiency of. $ 935 Ji
It was the unanimous oplnlou of those present
that the remaining $950 must be raised.
The agreement between the town council
and the railroad has been reduced to writing,
and Is now in Baltimore to receive the signatures
of those In authority. The conditions
are: That the town shall pay the money, $15.000,
and give the titles to thirty acres, as f|
above; Tue railroad, if the shops are moved I
from here In thirty years, will refund the *
money, and.the land will revert to the town.
If the shops should remain thirty years or
more, anu aiurwaru oe tasen away, men me
land alone will revert as In tbe first Instance.
The whole town, as far as we kDow, endorse .
the actidn of the council and the committee, n
Oar people are delighted at the promised I
growth in population, and the prospect for in- J
creased commercial and manufacturing interests
give the greatest satisfaction and tbe
highest hopes to all.
The town has never known such activity in
real estate, and the influx of citizens from
other parts of the country is unprecedented.
Besides the railroad shops, and the lnciden- f
tal demand for private residences, a dinner \
house is to be built at the G? C. & N. depot,
which will belong to, and be under the direction
of, the railroad company. This will be
made tbe dinner house for tbe passenger
trains going and coming, and as far as possible,
will give accommodations for the general ^
public.
The company have recently bought fifteen
new engines, and with an unprecedented sup- wt
ply of cars of all sorts, the road Is now in
splendid condition fordoing the greatlv In- _
creased business that is going to the road. ?
A vestibule train will be put on the road In
about two weeks. It will stop In Georgia and
South Carolina only at Athens, Elberton, Ab- 1
beville, Greenwood,Clinton and Chester. Go- I
Ing North it will pass Abbeville at 8 o'clock In 1
the night,and going South, It will be due here 1
at five o'clock in the morning.
The coal snute, whlcb Ik being put up Is a 1
much more Important matter lliau wan first
thought. The ordinal cost of the structure
will be 94,000. Besides tbls, small bouses will i
be built for those who may have control of it. /
Five or six bauds will rind constant employ- ?
meiK.andall passing trains will be supplied
with the needed coal.
The big trestle at the Tusten branch is to be
filled and made solid with earth. It is
thought the Immensity of this undertaking
will require steam appliances for moving the
slay.
The private enterprises that have recently
some to Abbeville a re oeinp pushed.
The iron foundry of the Messrs. Beard will
be qultean acquisition, and their repair shops
will supply a needed waut.
The shops which the Messrs. Allen are
building are simply immense, and when completed
an Indefinite amount of work can be
Jonc at short notice. The capacity is rnany
ruaehines and a hundred hands.

Hor.. William Patrick Calhoun has perfected
all his business arrangements, and Is now
fully launched upon his career in his new
borne. He was very compllmentarily introduced
to the Atlanta people by the papers of
that city, and several very eulogistic notices
->( him have appeared in the Journals of this
State. We have seen some of his business!
sards, sent by him to his friends here, and
learn by them that in addition to hisprao-'
ticlng his profession he will also engage in
the real estate business, and has formed a copartnership
with a Mr. Kenan for the purpose
of buying, selling and renting all kinds of
property. Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun are now
housekeeping In the Gate City. We hope
they will be pleased with Atlanta and find It
a. pleasant and prosperous place to live. If
their welfare depended upon the good wishes
of the frlendH they left here, at their old!
home, thev would secure the greatest meed of |
prosperity", health and happiness.
