ABBEVILLE, S. C.
Jt^-Pabllshed every Wednesday at $2 a

Wednesday, Sept. 13,1899. J
The 8. A. L.
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

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.

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

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.

Eight Cents Cotton.
[ 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.

ABBEVILLE'S COTTON MARKET.
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.
