Is Abbeville on the Eve of Further
ProureNH ?
Other towns of a size not very dlfl'erent
from Abbeville, are putting In new cottou
mills, new oil mills. Rod new ginneries, and
it has been hinted that Northern money
mayatuu early day stele Investment here. '
Thouo pnrnrnrlses are excltlnsr attention j
abroad just now and we believe that come '
money Is now ready for a new cotton mill at
Abbeville, and we have reason to think that '
a new oil mill and a new ginnery for next
season is not an Impossibility.
If any tight on the Abbeville Cotton Mill
should develope '.he spirit In our people to
build new mills?and Northern capital and
home enterprise should combine?who would
predict the future of Abbeville?
If Northern capital should build a new cotton
mill, and a new seed mill, together with <
a new ginnery, the.results would wonderfully 3
benefit this people. The presence of the cotton
mill has Increased the price of both cot
ton and wood. And the thousands ol cords i
of pine wood In this neighborhood which
was annually destroyed because there was lit- <
tie or no market for It, now all that may come
find* ready sale at an advance of ten
cents a cord. Pine wood any day In the year
now commands the cash as readily as cotton.
Another cotton mill might still further
benefit the farmer by increasing the value of
his product, and If the new organization
should reduce the cost of ginning, packing
and bagging cotton so as to Induce the
bringing of increased amounts of the staple to
this market, a still greater revolution would v
be wrought In favor of the farmer?and these I
enterprises would build up the town and help
all lines of business. Every bale of cotton g
that Is brought to market puts Bome money c
In circulation. Some money from nearly k
every bale goes to buy goods or to pay debts. ?

D. A. O. Oulz. c
, Aaa friend to D. A. G. Outz, who Is a genial, J
bind bearted man, we are sorry that he is u
making a figure of himself before the people v
of the State by his letters to the newspapers j
In relerence to the dispensary. v
As a friend to the dispensary Mr. Outz's c
statement# are very gratifying. He proves
beyond the shadow of a doubt that the dls- o
pensary has been fairly well managed, and a
. i
IDfll DO serious cause ui uuujpiuiui. caisw '
against the officers of that Institution. t
The changing of the labels on the bottles Is 1
the gravest misdeed of Mr. Doutbit, and lor 1
that act the Board of Control were perfectly ^
justified in dismissing him, and they ought to r
have dismissed him.
Mr. Outz has had a good job for, we believe, n
some seven years. He was, it is alleged, dls- 0
missed for selling a bottle of liquor contrary 1
to orders. That sale may or may not have ''
been the prime cause of bis dismissal, but v
the board of control concluded to dispense d
with bis services, and that ought to have
ended tbe matter. c
Mr. Outz Is a man for whom we have the t(
kindest feelings, and for this reason, we I
would suggest that he cease to "blow otf his
mouth" against tbe men, or the Institution ?
that has so long given him a good job. If b
sins existed In tbe dispensary, be ought to s
bavemade them known while he was still Q
connected with it, or else be should, on his
own account, now be silent, though bis letters
area vindication of the dispensary. b

Bryan nuil tbe Philippine-*.
Tho following Is an extract from an Interview
sent out by the Associated Press from
Ion. W. J. Bryan on tbe Philippine question:
"No, I do not favor the withdrawal of our
roops. What I do believe, and have repeatdly
announced, is that we should at once delare
our purpose in unequivocal terms, so
lositlve that the Filipinos cannot doubt It, to
ranttnem full and complete independence tbe
uoment they have established a stable govrnment.
I believe If we should make such
in announcement right now the war would
ease in a very short time, and our troops
ould withdraw without laying down their
rms In the face o/ tbe enemy. Furthermore,
believe If we had come out with such an anlouncement
lu the beginning of tbe war, the
far would uever have occurred."
It seems to us that every fair-minded
American who Is not lu favor of imperialism
rill endorse this interview. It presents the
ase briefly, but forcibly.?Atlanta Journal.
"Complete Independence" may mean much,
r it may mean nothing. Tbe Philippines are
b much a part of this couutry as Californian
the campaign of 1876 South Carolina's
>Attle cry was "Home Rule." If "complete
moano ?* H Am A Pnl?" And that
UUCpCUUCUUO VUUU MV?MW *?H.w
be Philippines are to be as free aR Georgia or
louth Carolina, tben Mr. Bryan's speech Is all
ight.
Let ub have no misunderstanding in the
ise of ambiguous generalities. If Mr. Bryan
deans that he iavors the dismemberment of
bis country by cutting oft the Philippines,
it blBi say so. But let him not use language
r'blch may meet the approval of some and
ecelve others because of Its ambiguity.
Does Mr. Bryan wish to dismember thle
ountry or does bn mean that he wishes
;> give the Philippines the same "complete
dependence" that Georgia now possesses?
If Mr. Bryan means to dismember this
ountry by cutting off any portion of it, or 11
e proposes to make tbe Presidential race on
uch an Issue, he would not reach the first
uarter until after his competitor had passed
be pole.
But Mr. Bryan will make no race under the
attle ory of dismemberment of this Union,
or recollection 1b, tbat about forty years ago,
lr. Davis and bis followers undertook to disaember
the Union by the withdrawal of
everal states, and It occurs to us tbat' the
entlment and arms of tbe country resisted
bat attempt. We have not beard tbat public
entlment has undergone any great change,
f the Filipinos may set up a separate governnent.why
may not the cltlze'is of Texas or
California do the same?
But Mr. Bryan did not mean to do any such
blng as setting up a separate and lndepenlent
Government for tbe Philippine islands,
ie meant to give the Filipinos the same sort
if Government which the "Crackers" have
tver in tbe State of Georgia. And to that
lobody m this country objects.

Friends of the Abbeville Cotton Mill are
glad to state that Abbeville has fully paid up
her promised $100,000 to the mill. Subscribers
to the capital stock either paid up or made
satisfactory arrangements, whereby their
subscriptions have been settled. The full
amount has been paid, and no subscriber to
the capital stock now owes anything.
The mill Is a good one, with first class
machinery In every department and the outlook
Is satisfactory.
While many of the shareholders have parted
with their stock, yet their subscriptions
helped to establish the mill, just the same as
If they had held on.
1100,000 Is a very large subscription for a
small town whose whole property wan worth
less than ?800,000. But when people make a
UUi LVU CUUl I ^1 cai) bUlU^D uau iro avwuipunued.
With very small exception the entire
S100.000 was put In by citizens of tbe townThey
bad not the money to spare, but their
patriotic or public spirited lnpulses lead them
to great effort.
And out of about one hundred and fifty
subscribers there 1b today not a defaulter.
The mill has pressed noboJy, but haK settled
In a pleasant or satisfactory way with every
one?excusing those who were unable to pay,
and accepting compromise with those wbo
may have felt that they could not pay without
injury to themselves.
The mill today has good feeling with every
1 subscriber, and is in kindly fellowship with
all mankind. All the old subscription papers
have served their purpose and the subscribers
have acquitted tbemselyes with honor.
( With past pleasant experiences it is to be
hoped that Abbeville may determine to take
another step forward, and put up other industrial
enterprises.

THE WALLACE SHOW.
j
' Splendid October Wenther Added n
; Cbarm to the OccrhIou.
, The Wallace Show gave an exhibition In
Abbeville yesterday, and, as far aB we know,
' everybody was pleased with the entire per
r iurmuuue. nearly ail me ncato iu tur gioai
| pavllllon were occupied, and It is estimated
that there must have been fully Ave thoust
and persons beneath the tent. PerhapB two
. thousand other people were satisfied with
being present In town, and seeing the street
, parade.
The parade was quite an imposing affair,
1 and many of the Sunday School scholars who
sat ou the fence to see It pass In review, were
s afterward found In the tent. When a good
show, comes along u large number of the
. good little boys in town assemble on the circus
grounds.
, The crowd in town yesterday was good
humored and well behaved, and many of our
. citizens who had never before been to see a
' circus performance mingled with the multlj
tude, and swelled the crowd by their own
presence.
u Of late years the circus performance has
uul Kiveu (jrunn uueuse uj emiei guuu uiuiuio
'* or good manners, and for tblB reason such
j exhibitions are now more generally attended
, by church people than formerly.
All the stores did a fine business, and every?
body seems to be glad that the circus found
, Its way to town tbls year. It is estimated
that many thousand dollars was spent that
j day. The whole town will be benefitted.
While the store folks were all as buHy as
3 bees from morning till night, many Industrial
enterprises were closed down. Cut little labor
' ot any kind was done by any body. The
i High Schools and other educational instltu,
tlous were closed and the hundreds of schol.
ars of all grades, conditions and shades of
, color, were allowed an opportunity to see the
e elephant, to hear the lion roar.
The cotton mill, the ginneries, various
1 shops and the iron foundry suspended business,
and the employers were all allowed a
holiday.

The public will observe that the apportion- si
raent is very much smaller In some school
districts for the present year than for the jj
past. This Is due to several causes, to wit:
Some School Districts overdrew their apportionment
tor the previous year, and the over- a
draft was deducted from the present apportionment.
In tome districts fewer pupils G
have been reported, the total number of children,
however, has been iuereased which decreased
the per capita rate.
The main cause of a decrease In fund Is the
fact that the apportionment for last year
(through an oversight) was more than the
funds actually on hand. Apportionments are
based not on a certainty, but necessarily on
an approximation. Respectfully, d
