A Demand for Still Greater I'roifress in Industry. Abbeville, S. C.. April 1S!>7. Editor Press and Banner:?It is tiuie that we are starling some new enterprises. We have done moderately well tor the last few years but we must make greater strides now than ever before. We must remember that Abbeville is now a rising and progressive young city, and our improvements must correspond with our reputation. We need electric lights, steam laundry, ice factory, canning factory and mattress factory. A lew fTTU years ago it was proposed that we build a cot- JL JL1 ton mill. We started and for awhile it looked as If we were bouud to (ail, but we sue ceeded at last. Then we egitated water-works and now our new system Is rapidly approach- |Jyi jng completion. Nothing succeeds like sue- ^ w cess. We mu6t put our shoulders to the wheel and move forward. Who will start) these new enterprises Abbeville bas a number of progressive young men, let them come to tbe from and put the ball lu motion. What about the new railroad. We need (li-j one or two new lines. Can't we have a tele- x~/ u graph oiilce on the Square. Business men have not the time to go to tbe station to send off messages. What is our city couucll Uolut In the line of progress? Much depends upon It. Let our people pull together. We must be a unit in pusulng Abbeville forward. Citizen. CONTKIBUTED LOCALS.
