The Seaboard Air Line Railroad has bought property In Augusta, valued at 8100,000. Tbe Seaboard contemplates building a line from some point on tbelr road in Georgia to Augusta, and from Augusta to Charleston. The good old city is greatly dellgbted at the prospect of getting additional railroad facilities, and it Is to be hoDed that tbe Seaboard may build the proposed line. Its new owners seem to have plenty of money, and at va riOUB piuoea UJCU, UJUIC9 ployed on new lines which are soon to be completed, with rolling stock on the Iron rails, Mr. J.Skelton Williams and his syndicate seem to have all the money they need-and they are spending a lot of It. If Mr. Williams will finish his proposed lines and see that Mr. St John does not take up any of his sidetracks, he will have a great road, and blB energy, push and money will be a great blessing to all this part of the country. But let him see that Mr. St. John does not take op any of his side tracks to the different cotton mills. 3^.. ? t Although the Abbeville Cotton Mill will oonsume some fourteen thousand bales during the present cotton year, yet Mr. 8t. John, without sayinga word to the mill authorities, for some reason which has not yet been explained, tore up the sidetrack to the mill which will manufacture annually 14,000 bales of ootton, and which was at that time manufacturing 4,000 or 5,000 bales. But for the lact th^t the Southern was in the neighborhood, it is fair to presume that Mr. St. John would not have put that track back. Tbe custom of mills that manufacture from V> 5,000 to 14,000 bales of cotton Is generally worth something to broad-minded capable railroad managers, but what does Mr. St. John care for a customer of that sort? His salary Is safe, and It matters little to him. The fact Is, Mr. St. John has acted in Buch a way as to make some of our people afraid to locate great business enterprises on his road. jtS In case a new cotton mill is built at Abbeville the probability Is that the Seaboard will not be selected unless Mr. Williams will give a promise that he will not allow Mr. St. Jobn to deprive tbe Investors of tbe advantages that should acorue because of location on bis line. ?/ . Bat it la lair to presume that Mr. St. Jobn, under tbe new management, will not be allowed to exercise tbe spiteful and arbitrary measures of a little tyrant A little brief authority makes tyrant* of little minds. If the general officers of the Seaboard would be friendly with tbe people, the people would better like tbe road, and It is possible tbe business interests of the corporation would suffer nothing by tbe better treatment. Tbe pnbllo asks no favors of any Railroad, bnt Its managers shoold be gentlemen whom other gentlemen might address on matters of K.?ain/voa tnlfKnnt faon svf Inonlt UUOiUVOB TV AbUlTUU VI JUDWAV* P.*' Fire Insurance. Columbia has organized a home fire Insurance company, which do business only In the city of Columbia. If properly managed the insurance company will be of great advantage 10 tbe city, and to the people. At present great sums are annually sent abroad, for which tbe city will get no benefit. Such a company Bhould be organized at Abbeville. Ab an Instance of tbe way Insurance company impose upon this community, we would cite tbe fact that as soon as tbe waterworks were put In, and immediately alter a tenant had tapped tbe main, and put in a two-inch pipe, with ample length of hose to put water in every part of the building, the conscientious and intelligent agents of that merciless corporation raised tbe premium, being perhaps the only Instance on record where Insurance rates were raised immediately after putting In a system of waterworks in the town, which fronted the bonding on two sides, and into which wac put two-inch pipe and hose to reach every part of the bolidlng. An insurance company properly managed would be of as much advantage to the town as is the Mutual Insurance Association of which Mr. J. R. Blake and Judge Lyon are officers. Tbelr management of the Mutual f Fire Association has saved this county large sums of money, and bas paid every loss without hesitation or attempt to cheat anybody. Let our business men look into this matter, and see If a feasable plan cannot be adopted by which we can get cheap and safe insurance. Good Appointment. f Bishop Wilson, of Georgia, has appointed Rev. J. B. Game, Ph. D., pastor of the First Methodist Church of Brunswick, Ga. The appointment Is one of tbe most important in tbe State of Georgia, aDd tbe Bishop has shown his good Judgment in sending that able divine and consclentloas Instructor to so good a place. Hr f^ama ai nrooon f la PraefHanl nf Voir. mount College In Georgia, and will probably remain atFalrmount for the greater part of his time. Dr. Game left Cokesbury a few years to fill a position In Georgia, and many friends will be glad to learn that be stands so high In tbe Methodist church In Georgia. The Board of Trustees elected ReV. J. B. Game, Ph. D., president of Falrmonnt College, subject to Conference appointment. He Is a teacher of ten years' successful experience In this line of work, and has bad the best educational advantages. He was educated at Vanderbllt University; National Normal University, B. A. and M. A.; University of South Carolina, A. M.; Krsklne College, M.S.; Illinois Wesleyan University, M. A. and Ph. D. Dr. Game was formerly Rector of the Cokesbury, (S. C.., Conference School, where he did a great work In reviving that timehonored Institution. The Board also elected Mrs. J. B. Game, principal of the Primary department. Mrs. Game Is a highly cultured ladv. and has had several years or successful experience as a teacher. The little ones will be eutlrely sale la her care. Aiiklist Kobn. Newspnperdom, New York, publishes a picture of Mr. August Kobn of the News and Courier, aDd a deserved tribute to bis worth as a citizen and as a newspaper man also ap* pears. Mr. Kobn stands In the front rank of South Carolina Journalism. In the statement of facts he is truthful, and in his criticism of public officials be Is lair. He gives the news without prejudice, and his uniform courlesy in the conduot of bis department of the News and Courier commands the respect of Its iruucio. No man in the Journalism of South Carolina has been more honest or more conscientious than August Kohn, and no man comes nearer to having the good-wlK and respect of all the people, than the News and Courier's able editor at Columbia. Mr. Kohn Is an honor to his profession, and his ability, his fairness, and his Impersonal ournallsm would adorn the editorial column of any newspaper.

[ Various newspapers are offering advice to the farmers on the subject of withholding their cotton from the market. This in the hope that buyers may be compelled to pay a higher price for the staple. They seem to be Imbued with tbe Idea that the extent of the crop may be concealed, 11 the cotton Is held back from the markets. The Press and Banner doesn't give advise for the simple reason that we don't know It all. We cannot predict either the price or the amount of the crop, but of one thing we have little doubt. We feel quite sure that no such ihlDg as half a crop, or two-thirds of a crop, has ever been raised In this country. Some Individuals may make a short crop, but the aggregate of the crop in the past years has never shown any great diminution. Some years we may make an exceptionally large crop, but we mpke nearly as much next year, and soon become accustomed to big figures, when naming the crop, and constantly diminishing figures, so far as price is concerned. The tendency In the past Is toward an increased amount of cotton with a corresponding decrease In the price. The price this year, we believe, Is from one cent to one-and-a-half cents higher than it was last year. If our memory is correct, then we are receiving about 55 a bale more for cotton this year than was realized last year. The difference In price, will, In some instances at least, offset any supposed shortage In production. Cotton Is the most wonderful crop with which this country Is acquainted, and It will grow UUUcr kuo 11XU3U auvci ou uivuuiow?ub&?. If the early rains fall to come the latter rains will be sufficient. If the seed is planted In fair land, without cultivation, by pushing aside the weeds open cotton will be found in In the Fall. While vast areas of cotton have suffered greatly this season, yet It is true that many luzurient fields of cotton may be found. Under any and all the circumstances It Is bard to find a market where there Is any great falling off of local receipts. Because of railroad rates, or because of some diversion of the shipment of cotton from one place to another, there may be difference in receipts at the central markets, but in the local markets where farmers yearly sell their own produce, we seldom And much difference in the aggregate receipts. Beer Privileges. The beer privileges, or the lloense to sell beer at other places than at the dispensaries, will be withdrawn after the first of November. Temperance people will llhely endorse the act. But Charleston may be expected to howl about her beer. That city, which Is too nice to patronize the dispensaries, can then get uer ut"?i iruui lug buluc pmvc tuov ouo uvn get her liquor?from the blind tigers. As soon as Charleston realizes that that olty Is a part of the 8tate of South Carolina, we may have peace on the liquor question, but as long as that city may be under the Impression that It Is under no obligation to respect the laws of the State, and as long as that city thinks that foreign born people may disregard the laws of their adopted oountry, we may expect to hear of terrible things In the City by the Sea. The control of the liquor business In this State is no longer a question. The replies of the Mayors to the circular of the Governor furnish proof that there Is no doubt that the dispensary is endorsed by the people, and that It will be enforced by the municipal officers. If Charleston desires to throw away the profits of the liquor business, which is Justly hers, and if she defies the law, and is determined to patronize blind tigers, then the State officers should give the matter proper attention. The Passing: or Old Soldiers. Judging from the many death-notices of Confederate soldiers, which we see In the newspapers, the ranks of that grand army which excited the admiration of the world in 1860-631s being rapidly thinned. In a little while all the officers will be gone. As a rule the officers were chosen from the older men, and hence some of the privates may linger on the shore until the last officer has crossed the River. When the officers are all gone, and when there shall be no more officers to address us at our re-unions, the annual gathering of the veterans will be discontinued, and we shall hear no more of the glory, pomp and circumstance of war. Having served their day and generation the old privates will be left to their own meditation, and to their own rehearsal of the stories of the conflict that 6hed lustre on American arms. The privates may not be able to speak as eloquently as the commanders of great battalions, but their hearts are Just as true, and their sense of right and wrong is just as acute. It is pitiful to read of the death of a veteran in an alms house. Those who fought their country's battles, should receive a pension that would shield them from such an end. Dreyfus Convicted. Captain Dreyfus of the French army, was convicted at Rennes, on Saturday, of trading in valuable military secrets, and was sentenced to ten years lnmprisonment. It Is hoped by some of his friends that the five year'B solitary confinement at Devil's Island may be placed to bis credit and thus reduce the term of his sentence. As a rule, people in America sympathise with Dreyfus, and believe that the trial wai an unfair one. It was clear that his conviction was a foregone ooncluslon. SEPTEMBER JURORS.

Cotton was selling freely on our streets last week at 6J4 and 6% cents. A number of our staunch and progressive merchants have agreed to make the cotton market of Abbeville equal, If not ahead, of that of any of our neighboring towns, and will see that the highest price for the fleecy staple Is maintained the entire seasoD. /VbbevlKe has wide awake merchants, money ;and full stock of goodB, and there is no reason why she should not pay as much for cotton as any town in the up country. This Is but one solution of this problem, and that is the self-evident faot, that unless our merchants and myis pay as much for cotton as adjoining towns and mills haw mill orot nnr nntinn ami will ln?? the trade of our farmers, and Ibis we can't afford to do.
