E Bljc Fire.
I'- The Windsor Hotel In New York was burnS
ed last Friday. It was an Immense structure, ,
I- and filled with many guests. About forty
persons lost their lives, and about an equal
number were more or less Injured. Many
thrilling stories are told of the sad occurrence,
and many a fireman proved himself a true
I hero in savlpg those who were exposed to the
flames. The hotel was in a fashionable part
of the city, ana the guests were among the
rich and the high-standing citizens. A man
with a cigarette threw the6tump of his lighted
1 match down, when the lace curtains of a
window blazed, and In forty-five minutes the
[ great structure was in ruins, and eighty of Its
Inmates were dead or wounded. The burning
5: building, the distress of the inmates, their
j fatal flight from high windows to the side
I walks below, the bravery of the firemen in
D 1 rescuing olhers, made a scene never to be forD
1 gotten.

It is noticed that the ladles In Rome of tbe
cities are taking formal action, looking to tbe
giving of their entire trade to home merchants.
When home merchants are dealt
with they provide better stocks and are better
able to answer tbe demands of their neighbors.
Customers very often pay very dearly
for orders sent to distant cities. To send business
away from the doors of our neighbors 1b
very often a disadvantage to buyers, and
It is always an act of unklndneBS, whereby
tbe business tact of home people, and the
welfare of the home town Is discounted, Tbe
man who sends off for what he can buy at
borne acts In a way which would not support
his own town, and the trades people often
feel, and sometimes express, contempt for
the neighbor who sends off bU money for lees
advantageous bargains..'
Abbeville has plenty of merchants, and
some of tbem can certainly supply any de.
mand for dress goods, and whoever sends oft
lor mem does a ioousn ining ana invues
criticism because of disloyalty to his own
home. A Georgia paper, on this subject
says :
We are pleaded to note that the ladles of a
number of southern cities have organized a
buyers' league, for the purpose of making organized
efforts to Induce at home people to
patronize the home market. When the ladles
of a city or community undertake a
thing, they generally make a success of it.
We would like to seethe ladies of Abbeville
organize a buyers' league. Concert of action
on their part would be not. only patriotic, but
would so increase the business of the home
merchants thai tbey would be able to carry
better assorted stocks of goods, which tbey
could sell at even lower prices than they are
now doing. In an article on tbls line The
Augusta Herald says: There is always a certain
number of people in every community
who think that nothing they get at home is
as good as If they had nought it in the east
If they are sincere, how can they ever expect
conditions to be better, since It would be
folly for a local merchant to lay in a stock of
goods of a character which people persist in
buying In the east?"
MTKitf* UokoI.1 la flrrl^ WltVi notflAtl/> 117 r?_
meu, making all of their purchases at home,
our merchants would take pleasure In bringing
on from the eastern markets the best aud
finest materials to be had. They would mark
their goods down to the lowest notch, the
volume of trade would be enlarged and a
fresh impetus be given our commercial life.
Tills is a matter that merits the attention of
the women of Columbus."
DISTINGUISHED GUEST.
To Nil In Jndfrmcnt on the Oratorical
Powers of Krskl lie's Worthy Sons.
Hon..lames Wilson, of Iowa, a member of
President McKlnley's cabinet, has accepted
an lvitation to visit Due West the 28th of
April.
A contest In oratory, participated in by
every college In the State, each of which will
be represented by a champion, Is to be held
in theKsktne auditorium on thnt date and
Secretary Wilson, having been requested to
serve as one of the luripes on that, occasion.
has signified liis lnlenlion to be present.
We are always glad for representative men
from otber sections to come among oar people.
Such visits do us good and do them good.
I >ur guests go away better friends to us than
when they come, and with a better understanding
of our people.
Secretary Wilson, when appointed to the
cabinet, was Professor of Agriculture In the
Iowa Slate College and Director ol the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Station. He had
also previously served as a representative In
Congress from Iowa for six years, and was i
Speaker of the House of Delegates in the |
Iowa Legislature, and been always ranked j
us a fair minded man, and kindly disposed!
toward the South.
He Is u native of Scotland and a psalm-slngIng

LowndeBvllle, March 19,1899.
Mr. A. L. Latimer returned from a short
trip to Anderson Monday.
Messrs E. E. Horton and J. M. Huckabee,
1 went to Anderson on business Wednesday.
Mr. L. J. Moorhead has been for two or three
weeks telegraph operator at Parfcsvlile.
Miss Llllle Shumate of Greenville, came In
Friday to spend a while with the family of
Mr. E. R. Horton and other friends In this
place.
Dr. Bodle Mathe^vs of Elberton, did now
reach here till Thursday on account of a high
river. He is located here for the practice of
medicine, and can be found at the Moseley
House when not engaged professionally.
We extend to blm a most hearty welcome,
and it is hoped that his sojourn amongst us
may be pleasant and profitable to blm and
us. With four fully equipped M. D.'s and
two or three more will-be^ in the future, the
profession will be well represented, and tbe
ailments of our people can be promptly and
efficiently attended to.
Messrs E. Frlerson and Henry Norwood of
Calhoun Falls, were in our town Fridny.
Thursday was one of the most beautiful
days, tbat we bave bad in a good long while,
and It made us all feel good.
Miss Ida Hawthorn of Latimer, came up
Saturday to visit her friend, Miss Llllie
Huckebee.
Mr. E. F. Latimer who has been attending
tbe Dental College of Atlanta, Ga., for the
past taw months, came home Friday to spend
his vacation. He will return to his duties at
the proper time.
Mr. D. L. Barnes Is again traveling in the
Interest of tbe Daniel, Pratt, Gin Company,
of Annlston, Ala. His territory being not a
great ways from here, be can still make this
place his headquarters, and visit his home
every few days. He is proving to be "the
right man in tbe right place."
Between 6 and 10 a. m. yesterday, a long and
seemingly heavily loaded freight train, passed
this place, for Anderson. This is mentioned,
as it was a very auusual occurrence to have
tbe Sunday echos awaken in such a way.
We do not even bave a Sunday mall, but a
passenger train runs from Anderson, to
Augusta and back. This even might be dispensed
wltb, without detriment to the interest
of the railroad, as It is said, that the expenses
are considerably in excess of the protits
on tbat day and it does not appear, that
ine iniereH'^j 01 any oue, at, enuer euu 01 uie
line could suffer enough to warraDt the
breaking of the commandment "Remember
tbe Sabbath day, to keep It holy."
A band of Gypsies passed through this
place on Friday, heading up the country.
They numbered about fifteen, with about
twenty head of horses and one negro. The
wagons were pretty good, but the balance of
tbe outfit, men, women, children, borses and
negro, were rather a bad looking set. Tbe
stook especially showed a lack of tbe assentlals
to blgh living, and were said to be worth
about one dollar and a quarter per dozen.
Saturday night, some of our folks were
somewhat scared up by tbe wind. They got
up, dressed and awaited events. Tbe often
recurring newspaper reports of cyclones,
have educated our people up to tbe Idea, that
wind Is dfwgerous, and It does not take a
very bard one to cause alarm.
Mrs. Lantls! Huckabee Is at Kings Moun
taiD visiting irieuas.
Invitations are oat to the marriage of Mr.
Glbbs L. Baker, formerly of this place, but
now of Washington. I). C.,and Miss Caroline

which Is to take place the 29th of this month,
at 5 o'clock p. m. Mr. Baker and his bride,

will comc to this place for a sometime stay. 1
