THE COTTON MILL. Tli<> Work <;?pn Bravely on, ainl Its h'ricuds are JIa|?|?v. Contractor Cagle of Greenville lias been actively at work, since Tuesday of last week, digging the loundations for the Abbeville Cotton Mill. The ground is pretty well covered with busy people,anu the whole presentB a scene which should delight the eye of ever} lover of Abbeville. I'olonel I'agle is an experienced mill builder and he knows perfectly well how to push I lie'work most advantageously. Our people have heard nothing but good ol him as a contractor. and the stockholders are abundantly satisfied Willi the action of the directors in awarding him the contract. The mill Is ?n a boom Just now and new promises of subscription are coming in. The home subscriptions, it Is believed, will now loot up something like *73,000. As the enterprise goes on it gains In public favor, and a little later on, we will have a handsome home subscription. There is now no longer any doubt as to the success of the enterprise. We have assurance that from S30,000 to 550,000 worth of machinery will be offered by Northern capitalists, and hopes are held out that we will, in addition to the machinery, get about Si>0,000 in Northern money. With more than StOO,000 in sight, does anybody doubt that the mill will be a success? The Board of Directors have carefully and scrupulously guarded the Interests ot the stockholders. Up to tbistime not one dollar has been voted away to auy officer of the company. The officers have assumed their duties as a labor of love, and will wait for salaries. The purchases ot land have been most advantageous. Architect Greene and Contractor Cagle agree in saying that our location is all that auy mill could desire. ^ It is located on a solid, foundation near the . .. /..In n,l?o "ml iho Wut?P il'ln KIlIlK RbUtHl ?HICI O cugc, DUU VMV " 1.bw ance as to answer every possible demand. The reeorvoir Is close to the mill, and wbere tiie stream will All It. Mr. V. E. McBee, representing the S. A. L. road|was In town last week, arranging for tne side track. Tbe*line has been staked of!, and y. it is understood that the track is to be finished by the first of May. ? The awarding of tbe contract for erecting the building and the tbe act of tbe railroad in putting in the side track seems to have given new hope to tbe friends of the enterprise. New friends are coming to the aid of the company, and the original stockholders are increasing their subscriptions. EX-GOV. R. K. SCOTT. Abbeville County lias ItenMOii to be pratel'nl to Him. "Some fuss has been made over the alleged otionHnnn r>r some of the citizens of C'olum bla to Ex-Governor Scott whilst on a visit to that city. This Is very unnecessary. Doubtless Governor Scott did receive some civilities. In a perfectly informal way. Some gentlemen, no doubt, dropped In at his hotel and chatted with him lu the lobby. None of this had the sllgbestsignlflance in any direction." ?Hamptlon Guardian. We have noticed criticisms of Ex-Governor Scott, but have said nothing. As far as we now recollect, Scott was no worse than other Radical Governors In the days of "good stealing," and we have no special grievance against him. Hut we would state one thing to his credit During the time when be was Governor the Legislature passed a law changing, or authorizing the changing tbe management of the DeLa Iiowe estate, which is a well-known institution for tbe benefit of needy white children. The proposition by the Legislature was to make It possible for that large fund to be turned over to the tender mercy of the Radicals. Solid good citizens feared, if they once bad their hands on the money, that it would be scattered to the four winds. Upon the request of the Abbeville Senator and a citizen of Abbeville, Governor Scott vetoed that law. For that act some of us have been grateful; and if for no other reason, this newspaper would not go back on a man who bad saved a tine school for the poor white children of Abbeville County. Let Governor Scott be what be may, it Is true that but for his act, that fine property might have been lost and the Lethe School hoon pinsBii forever. As a matter of principle, as weil as from a sentimeut oi gratitude, thin newspaper will not abuse Governor Scott. He saved that magniflgea-t-eStiltfr which has beett-hawlett Uowii "through one hundred years', and been preserved to promote SO nobie-a charity. HIS NEW HOME. I Home Xotn lu the Career of Associate Justice Gary. Judge Gary of our town has had a notable and successful career. He came to Abbeville about twenty years ago, and opened a law office, where he commenced the practice at a Bar where there have been many lawyers?a Bar where there have been many failures and many successess. He gained many important issues before the Courts, and with the people he was always a good politician, distinguished for sagacity and correct judgment of men. At the beginning of the Reform movement he aligned himself with it, and was elected Lieutenant Governor. By this . election he became President of the Senate, and his ability and quick perception as a presiding officer brought him prominently before the people. His attainments at the Bar and his experience as Presldeut of the Senate, made him the successful candidate for a seat * ; on the Supreme Bench in 1S94. As Associate Justice be has come up to the requirements of 'hot hluh Jinri reRoonsible Dosition. which was for fllteen years bad been beld by our distinguished iellow-citizen. Judge McGowan. It is a notable fact that Judge Gary bad been occupyiug the home formerly occupied I by Judge AlcGowau.and that he now acquires by purchase the elegant home of Mr. W. C. McGown, son of Judge McGowan. From facts or circumstances It would seem that Judge Gary Is the successor of Judge McGowan, in more respect than one. CHAT AT CHICKASAW. .

It shows an absence of self-respect and a Jack of proper raising, to say the least of it, in persons who stand around the street corners and make disrespectful remarks about passers-by, more especially ladles. To those who indulge in such practice we would remind that you bad a mother, and perhaps a sister. Young man or old man, dease the habit It lua rtlBuiiBilni'nnp and lowers von on'.V in the estimation of respectable people. If you have no respect for yourself you are not expected to have any for others, and in the Interest of your respectable neighbor! you nhould go off and suicide. J. D. Hrownlee has a new aurry. He is also giving his handsome dwelling a coal of paint. There was an Interesting game of ball Sat urday evening. Miss Eunice Todd closed her school Friday evening with an entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Nickels spent Saturday in Abbeville. Mrs. Hester Hagan is in town. Mrs. .1 M_ Pfcrrv and nliildren of Greenville are visiting the family of Prof. J. L. Pressly.

April 20th, ISiMi. -jg Weil Mr. Kditor. you must excuse a short INO letter this week. Everything is so very dry and so few people stirring about, it is hard to {jet anything very readable. Our grape vine telegraph toSaluca has failed us and all rp. the news that we cau get from that classic A city is second-handed and of course will be my of llltlg Interest to your many readers. We em, hear that Ureenwood and Xaluca have formed offli a combine, and propose to do up the Ninety- ty Six correspondent. We hope however, they will will be as merciful as possible. as i We are pained to record this week the death a of one of Ninety-Six's oldest citizens. M?J. esti James W. Foucbe died at his residence on bef< last Tuesday morning in the 03th year of his be I age. He had lived nearly all his life In Nine- a ty-Slx, being a merchant for over a quarter of a century. He did gallant service during - ttie war and served t?e wnoie lour years, ne was the a member of the Baptist church and ilways contributed liberally to his church, | I and was Instrumental In building the church II in this town. He delighted Id entertaining his church brethren, and if alive Dr. Broad us, L)r. Manly, Dr. Williams and a host of other eminent divines could testify to the cordial 1*1 welcome always received at the hands of Maj. Ijl Kouche. As far as his means enabled him, w' he always took part in any enterprises that were lor the interest of the town. He was a kind hearted husband aud affectionate father and the cold and hungry were never turned ^ from his door. He was a man of decided convlctions, but was always willing to counsel ? j with his neighbors and friends. He leaves aud behind him one sou and three daughters, his -nQ, wife who was Miss Melissa Sample having preceded him several years to the grave. He was a lite long Mason and a charter member of Star Kort Lodge No. 3ti4, Knights of Honor. He was a zealous member, and has served his lodge in one capacity or other as an ofllcur for 20 years. We extend to his bereaved children ? our warmest sympathy in this their hour ol trouble. Mrs. James Rogers went up to Greenville last Friday to spend several weeks, tor the ? benefit of her health. ill] Mr. Boulware Sample, of Greenwood, has r been the guest of his brother-in-law, Mr. A. B Still for the past week. We are dry and need rain badly. The grain crops are loosing every day. Mrs. Robt. Williams, of Dyson's, died last Saturday. This is peculiarly a sad death, for she had only been married about a year, sne ^ , was a victim of that dread disease consumption. A foud husband aud loving friends did ^ir all that could be done lor her, but It was of no avail. A host of friends sympathize with her ,.ob husband and sister in their great bereave- j)or ment. i,U?

Curtis is a delegate to the confederate veteran meeting to be held In yre Charleston this week. ? b( It seems that my suggestion of Col. L>. H. w. Tompkins for Governor is quite popular. Mrs. F. B. Cobb aud Mrs. J. W. Hill, of , Greenwood have been visiting Mrs. E. M. ^.i Llnscomb the past week. <n ft looks as though the silverites will capture t0 t the Chicago couvention, and Ben will not (.ou have to bolt after all. _ , Some of our Reform friends seem to have .af., umbrage at our giving the News and Courier u the credit for the hog and hominy in the alU( ini'o Weil w? rtId not mean to tramn on ' anybody's toes, but to state exactly what we thought. The truth hurts sometimes, aud sometimes it only rutlles the feathers. Mr. John Taylor, or Greenwood, was down last week on business. Mayor Oilreath, of Greenville, who suicided recently, was one of the best men in upper South Carolina, and his friends here were very much shocked. East End. ^ DOTS FROM TROY. A Beautiful riirk-Sppcliil SmiiiTii_ WKJiiinS'BeU'i-fMHie GoIiik and Coming. Troy, S.C.. April 25,1806. uj Miss Statia Wideman from Due West is a ?? welcome visitor in town. Mr. Willie Barnwell Irom Abbeville spent Sabbath in town with relatives. Mrs. Mary Drennan has returned Irom the Amity, Ua., where she has been with her Bel daughter, Mrs. Dr. Culbertson. Mr. O. P.

Sabbath tlje school. row The lalnt whisper and distant chimes ot "ac wedding bells can be heard in the near future. Our park was never more beautiful than now with its rich foliage of green and nature's carpet of mossy green. It has been nicely cleaned off with not a stick on the whole ground, all the praise is due to Mrs. W. T. a Bradley, the excellent Proprietor of the Park Hotel. Mrs. Dr. J. L. Pressley, of Lulah, S. C., was with relatives last week. Mr. J. F. Wideman has the champion cotton patch, he has it chopped out and if it contin ues to grow as fast he can make two crops on the same piece of land. The apple crop through this section of the country is almost a failure, but 1 guess the blackberries will be plentiful. The grain crop is looking well, and the farmers are all quite busy, they are encouraged at present. Mr. w. H. Robinson Is building a nice dwelling near here, and will be quite pretty when finished. Rev. T. W. Sloan and Mr. J. F. Wideman are the guests of Mrs. Dr. Sloan, of Lulah, today. Nick. Democratic Call.
