Not In the htatory of Abbeville hu there
boen a greater demand for bouse* tban Ibttrt*
la today, and tbe price of building lota waa
never tetter. Tbe aapply of building lota,
however, la fally equal to tbe demand. Tbe
Not la we have mora building lot* tban al>
moat anything else.
Tbe highest price yet paid for a dwelling
booae lot waa paid by Mr. J. C. Ellla to Mr. J.
8. Mtarke last week. >500 for 10 front feet on
tbe atreet leading to Due west.
While It might not make a man rleb to pay
tbe preeent prices for lota on which to build
bouses, yet tbe owners might make a good
tblngont of bnlldlng bouaee for rent or for
sale.
It Is said that the enlargement of the shops
Is being postpone on account of lack of
boaaee for railroad employees.
Tbe furniture factory, according to tbe
money Invested, has been a big thing for Abbeville.
And tbe bope la that some enterprising

To tbe Editor of Tbe Herald :
I dou't know whether It is a matter tbat
ought to o? alien?d to the Mvanptn or
would be bettor, presented to tbe City Council,
tbe Chamber of Commerce or tbe Board of
Health, bat I happened to overbear a remark
made by a very Intelligent vlaltor, wbleb
brought to my mind a matter tbat I bad
thought of beto**, bnt earning aa It did. em*
pbamced tbe neoeialty for taking aorne ao*
Tblamaa waa atandlng near tbe Hooihem
latloo, when a gang of eonvlcte paaaed.
dreaaed In their alrlped ealta with ebalna
clanking. He made aome remark aa be saw
both while and Mack In tbe gang, wbleb waa
oompllmentarr. bat ba aaTd, "Tbla la tbe
third time I ban bean to Hpartanbc r* aod
tbe eeoood time I have seen your convict
gang on tba principle atreeta. Do you keep
them on parade, or la It merely an aocldenl?
In my town tbe gentlemen In tbe atrlped
alta are required to march along back alleya
If It la ueeeaary for lb em to mingle wllb tbe

I have often tbongbt tbat Hpartanbarg la d
making loo great a display ol her cbalngang. a
It la a neoeeeary evil, bat It le not a tblng to h

well with good laale or good morale to have t,
tbe convlot aquad alwaya on exhibition.

Upon whl'Sh tbe Hpartanbarg Herald com- ^
menu, aa followa:
Tbe point aeeme to be well taken. Nothing g
la to be galoed by exhibiting tbe offendera
agalnil tbe law, whether they be white or g
black. Of ooura* every Intelligent man knowa *
tbat In a community where law le enforoed, *
tbere will be men In atrlpea, bat It la not. e

It was * theatrical manager who had /
ist dismissed a young woman who bad r
ten imploring him to engage her. /
He was an unusually soft hearted
anager. The average one generally
vet a cynical grin and say*, "Another j
irl who wants to play Juliet"
Wordi may be futile to item the
areat, but just a few hard facts may
inse an aspirant here and there to
op and consider. 1
Here in New York, this seething J
[eoca of the Thespian, the situation is
stually tragic. There are just about
,000 aotNMM loo many for the posiona
The pity of it is the incompetents
re in many cases crowding oat the aft*
tble, experienced players. True, die i
ioompetents sooner or later find their
rrel, but while they are finding it the
tpables are out of positions and the Jj
olf is putting in his time at their fifth \
ight hall bedroom doors, the critics
re guying, the manager is fuming, and
nero is a good deal of unpleasant Melon
everywhere.
I know of one thoroughly equipped
layer who has sewed the soles upon her
tioes repeatedly to keep them on her
set while she walkod the streets in
sarch of an engagement Another wash
her clothes in the bathtub of her
oarding house and dries them in her
ran. Both these women have played ^
