' ' ' l _ ABBEVILLE'S POPULATION, It Has Increased <fcnite a l.ittle IMiriiitf the Past Year ami M'lll Increase Much More Kapirily If the 1'ltizeus will Just Get a Move Onto Themselves?Xews About the Fac? lory aud Factory Town. I wonder how many of the readers of the Frees and Banner know that Abbeville has to-day a population ot at least 4,000and possibly more. The Federal census taken In June of last year gave us a population of 3,7C(i. The enumerators for this town, Mr. William Clinkscales, Mrs. Beacham and Mr. Frank . , ? - U..I .. /nUKf,,| ? .Jones were UUIII1I1K IU lauuiui ci.uct..ors to ferret out ana get the Dame, and age, uod sex, and color of every human being that lived within the corporate limits of Abbeville, and they were so anxious to gel as large a population as possible for Abbeville that they even went so far, I hear, as to take the names of people who did not In reality and truth live here at all. For instance, the Abbeville Couuty Summer School of 1900 was In session here then and there were some thirty teachers boarding here in the town for a month who did nut live here. But the faithful enumerator was ho afraid they would not be taken in the census at all that she took them and put them down for Abbeville. And then again there some Ufty or sixty colored girls boarding at the Willlame Academy, who spend about nine months of the year here, but were not really citizens of the town. One of the enumerators took ihem too. So you see, that though some who were real true citizens of the town may have been skipped and not taken by the census enumerators, there were enough who were not citizens tak en Into the count to balance those missed. If we did not have but 3,766 people fourteen months ago, where have we got the -1.000 or over, now, you ask. If the readers of this paper will but cast their minds back.sixteen months ago to the middle of April last year, they will remember that at that time the directors of the cotton factory at this place decided to discontinue night running. So that there were about one-third ol the mill operatives here thrown out of work,and of course were compelled to leave, with their families, and seek otoer cumes. ah mese, wuu niuuuuieu w at.least 300, had "folded up tbelr tents" and departed when the census enumerators came around in June. The writer had occasion the first of this year to take a religious census of those who lived at the factory, and he found out of eighty houses that at least thirty of them were vacant. But that is not the case to day. I don't think there are more than five houses i vacant on factory hill at present, and two new houses have since then been been built * Just outside the factory limits, and families are living in both of them. Why this increase of population at the lactory ? About a year ago the directors decided to build two more stories on to the factory annex, thereby making the factory one-third larger; and to build another boiler room and engine room, and to add three more boilers and another engine. This work has just been completed this summer, and the factory building now stands complete four stories In height, with an elevator tower on each end; two boiler rooms?one with three boilers, the other with four?aud two engine rooms, the old one with a 450-horse power engine of the ImDroved Green make, and the new one with a 600 horse-power engine of the same make. The mill started out at first some years ago with 10,000 spindles. It has to-day in active operation 28,000 spindles and about 750 looms, with about 200 looms which are In place but not yet running. You can easily see from reading the foregoing where Abbeville has gained In her population. Whereas a few months ago there were not more than 700 or 700 people living on factory hill, there is now about J,000, and then the population in the other parts of the town has Increased to some extent during the past year, so that we may safely sny that Abbeville has to-day within her corporate limits not leas than 4,000, and possibly 4,100 people. And if the people of the town would , Just wake up out of their sleepy lethargy and get a move onto themselves, there is no reason at all why by 1905 we should not have , fully 5,000 population, and by the time the < next census rolls around in 1910 have 7,000 oj; more. It Is a well-known fact that if an ludlvldual is to succeed in this world he must A 'k '-hustle" for himself, and so It is with a town ( that is to be built up; the citizens of that town must be live, wide-awake men, up and doing, taking advantage of every opportunity to build up and advance in progress. We need and ougbt to have another cotton mill, , a roller mill and an an loe factory, and when the Black Diamond gets built through here, by 1905 we will need a good many more things and will have them, too, if the citizens will i Just hie up and get a little move onto them< selves. But speaking abont the factory hill. I noticed in my walks around there a few days i ago tbata good many of the people had %bullt fences around their places and bad nice little vegetable gardens and flower yards. One of the great and crying needs of the factorv j town that Is apparent to every one who knows anything about the matter, Is a suita- , hlfl hulldlne that can be used as a school bouse during tbe week and as a place of worship on Sundays. ft Is true that tbe Method1st Conference bave bad a cburcb built just on tbe outside of tbe factory land, but tbat Is only for tbe Methodists. Goes all right as far as It does go, but does not go far enough. There should be a chapel built which waR undenominational, In wblcb Presbyterians and Baptists could bold services and worship from Sunday to Sunday. When the writer took a census of tbe cburcb members on tactory hill last March, he found to be tbere about sixty members of tbe Methodist church, seventy members of tbe Baptist cburcb, and thirty members of the Presbyterian and A. R. P. churches. Tbere are more tbau that now, for tbe population of tbe factory bill has Increased over 250 people since then. Superintendent Thompson bas had in band for two years funds to tbe amount of a little over 3200.00, contributed by tbe people of the town for tbe building of a cbapel and school bouse at tbe factoryr and be promised tbe writer a few months ago tbat such a building would moBt certainly be built during this summer; but here It is tbe last of August and tbe summer will soon be ended, and it Isn't built yet. Abouta year and a half ago there was quite a marriage fever among the factory operatives. All the young couples got mated, and I think a few of tbe old maids and bachelors took advantage of tbe epidemic and stepped ofl'; but since that time tbere bas been quite a dearth In the matrimonial line for tbe simple reason that all were either too young or too old to branch out. But some have increased in years during tbe past eighteen months. So, a few weeks ago a young, raven-haired maiden of sweet sixteen and a gallant youth of seventeen decided to embark upon the sea of matrimony, and so were united in the most holy wedlock by tbe Rev. Mr. Leslie, at the Methodist cbapel. Tbe bride was Miss Susie Baukman, and the groom Mr. Paul Jarrard. Miss Scott and Mr. Marvin Pratber were united in marriage Sunday night, August 11th, at the Baptist parsonage. Rev. Mr. Gordon performing the ceremony. Tbe factory schools will be taught tbe coming session by Miss Eliza Gambrell, assisted by Mrs. Cason. One of tbe double dwelling houses has been set aside for a school bpuse for tbe present, until a regular school houso is built. W. H. M. : BESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.

AT LITTLE MOUNTAIN. Mrs. L. T. Miller, after enjoying the breezes at Little Mountain for a week or so returned home last Monday. TRAIN WRECKED. A KerlouM Wreck on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. Quite a serious wreck, as far as Injury to the train crew was ooncerned, happened on the S. A. L. Sunday morning a week ago. A freight train consisting of an engine, nine box cars loaded with peaches, and one of those little, short cabooses, called a "dinkey," left Atlanta about nine o'clock Sunday morning for a quick run through to tbe east. All went well till the train got about twenty-five miles this side of Atlanta when tbe little "dinkey" caboose Jumped tbe track, while the train was moving at a speed of forty miles an hour, and after bouncing around on tbe cross ties for awhile broke loose from the rest of the train, turned over and finally landed on top of tbe track at right angels with the rails. Inside the cab was Brakeman Henry Cheek, who got his head mashed In and injured Internally, and Is now in tbe hospital In Atlanta, doing very well when last heard from. Flagman McMumey, who got his arm broken In three places, is also in Atlanta. Conductor Will Harris, who got his ankle very much hurt, his back wrenched, and is afraid is injured Internally. He is here In Abbeville at his home on Hickory Heights. All three of theie gentlemen are white men aod citizens of Abbeville. Engineer Plnktton was at the throttle. No blame Is attached to any one of the train crew. Tbe little "dinkey" caboose wps Just too light for the run. There is a Btate law apalnst the railroads using such light cabooses, and it should be rigorously enforced. This Is the fifth time that this same little caboose has cut up such didoes, but never before with such serious results. The conductor, notwithstanding his injured condition, had tbe wreackage cleared off' the track himself and in an hour and a half had the track all right so that trains could pass. Many of the conductors and train crews refuse to ride in one of those little "dinkey" cabooses, and they are right In doing so. W. H. M. ? MAIL CLOSES.

Father's view of the Kntrles Hade on the Fnmily Ledger. * Does a 2-ycar-old baby pay for itself up to the time it reaches that interesting age? Sometimes I think not. I thought ^ so yesterday when my own baby slipped n into my study and "scrubbed" the carpet 0 and his best white dress with my bottle of ink. He was playing in the coal hod t, ten minutes after a clean dress was put d on him, and later in the day he pasted 50 ^ cents' worth of postage stamps on the *r, parlor wall and poured a dollar's worth of the choicest white rose perfumery out of the window "to see it wain." Then he dug out the center of a nicely C baked loaf of cake and was found in the jj middle of the dining room table with the u sugar bowl between his legs and most of c the contents in his stomach. He has already cost $1U0 in doctor's ? bills, and I feel that I am right in attrib- w uting my few gray hairs to the misery I 1 endured walking the floor with him at night during the first year of his life. T What has he ever done to pay me for 2 that? t, Ah! I hear his little feet pattering 2 along out in the hall. I hear his little r ripple of laughter because he has escaped ? from his mother and has found nis way p up to my Btndy at a forbidden hour. But 1 the door is closed. The worthless little vagabond can't get in, and I won't open | it for him. No, I won't. I can't be disturbed when I'm writing. lie can just cry if he wants to. I won't be bothered 1 for? "Rat, tat, tat," go his dimpled ' I knuckles on the door. I sit in silence. "Rat, tat, tat." I I sit perfectly still. i "Papa." > No reply. . : / y C "Peeze, papa." Grim silence. \4 "Baby turn in?peeze, papa." He shall not come in. I "My papa." ' I write on. "Papa," says the little voice; "I lub my papa. Peeze let baby in." I am not quite a brute, and I throw open the door. In he comes with out- j stretched little armsx with shining eyes, r with laughing face. I catch him up into i my arms, and his warm, soft, little arms J go around my neck, the not very clean little cheek is laid close to mine, the baby 1 voice says sweetly: * "I lub my papa." . ( Does he pay? Well, I guess he does! He has cost me ' many anxious days and nights. He has j cost me time and money and care and ] Mwiiiw TTA mflv cost me pain and ] j OCU OU\.? w __ . _ I sorrow. He has cost much. But he has ^ I paid for it all again and again in whis- j J pering those three little words into my j ears, "I lub papa." Our children pay when their very first feeble little cries fill our hearts with the mother love and the father love that ought never to fail among all earthly passions. i j Do our children pay??J. H. D. in Detroit Free Press. j THE SPEED OF BIRDS. It la Not Nearly So Great na Has Been Generally Aaanmed. If you consult the usually accepted au- 1 thorities on the speed of birds in their ' fight, you are likely to be misled by an 1 exaggeration of from 100 to 300 per cent. J This is because figures have been given 1 on hearsay, appearance and very superfi- ' cial observation. But recently American. English and French observers have been ' comparing notes and are practically 1 agreed, after most careful calculation, on the speed of the best known birds. They started with the carrier pigeon and have made him a base of comparij son. He has heretofore been credited with 110 miles an hour, but it is now agreed that he is entitled to 50. A quite recent long distance, carefully conducted tefet of 592 miles, from the Shetland islands to London, showed that the most rapid pigeons made 37 miles an hour. On shorter distances none made more than 50 miles. Because frigate bards have been seen far from land and have been supposed not to fly by night or to rest on the water they have been credited with a speed of from 150 to 200 miles an hour. If they did fly at that speod, they would have to | overcome an atmospheric pressure of from 112 to 130 pounds to the square foot of flying surface. There is no certainty that they fly more rapidly than a passenger pigeon or that they do not fly at1 night or do not sleep on -the water. The swallow, that is indeed a rapid | flier, has been credited with 180 miles an hour, but be must be cut down to 65 miles, and the marten is five miles behind him, though authorities have placcd him ten miles ahead. The teal duck is brought down from 140 to 50 miles an. hour. The mallard is five miles slower and flies the same as the canvasback, while both of these are five miles an hour ahead of the wild goose and | eider duck. The pheasant mates 33 miles an uuur, which is three milers ahead of the prairie chicken and quail, though, the latter appears to fly much faster on account of his temporary burst of speed that seldom exceeds 200 feet. 'The crow flies 25 miles an hour. Small birds appear to fly more rapidly than the large ones and have deceived many observers. The humming bird does not fly as fast as. many awkward appearing, very much larger, slow flopping birds.?Chicago Times-Herald. v \ A. I?rond. Father.
