Branch Water.
We bave beard the suggeslon at various
times that Abbeville may be compelled to
J hare more water than the well now supplies.
<? ? ' This newspaper Is unalterably opposed to
drinking branch water.
If more water Is needed the well from which
we now get water should be dug deeper. 11
we are not In error all the water that we now
get was found at a depth or about one nundred
feet.
In the effort to find more water, the well
was dug to a lltlle over Ave hundred feet.
Bat, ?h far as we know, no water was found
after the first flow at abont one hundred feet.
The additional four hundred feet added nothing
to the flow of the water.
We presume there Is little doubt that more
water would be if we had bored through the
roc*.
Greenville Is having trouble about branch
, water, a trouble which those want branch
water at Abbeville, are courting.
The head waters of onr well branoh rise at
or about the shops. That stream drains the
land upon which the village around the shops
1b located. We need not go into particulars.
Ths following affidavit, with a change of
. names, would fit Abbeville as well as Greenville,
If we attempt to drink branch water:
Among tbe affidavits presented by Mr.
Batson's attorneys were depositions from E.
Bruce Lipscomb, W.A. Hudson and William
P. Tate. Mr. Lipscomb's deposition reads :
Personally comes E. Bruce Lipscomb, who
upon oath says that he is a citizen of said
nnnnlv ind Hlaln that h? la pnr>ncpf1 in ihn
dairy and truck business Dear Greenville
city. That on July 31st, 1903, deponent visit
ed the premises of plaintltf company, and
defendant Eugene BaUon, and saw the hog
lota referred to In plaintiff's complaint, on
the land of aald Eugene Batson, and the upper
and smaller had no hogs In same, and
was dry and clean. The lower and larger had
three hogs and several small pigs, and contains
nearly an aorela land. That there was
no stench, co loblolly such as usually ac
companies the close confinement of hogs, and
the water below said lots on said small stream
trlbutaty to Mountain creek was clear, clean
and pure looking That deponent also saw a
bog lot of about two acres near the residence
of said Batson, In whloh are several bogs,
and a spring near on one aide, the water from
whloh runs a few leet throogh the lot and
then out Into Mountain oreek, about a hundred
yards away. That at this place was a
worse loblolly and inire than at the two lots
above referred to. That the stables and cow
sheds of said Batson are drained dlreotly Into
aald stream and thence into Mountaen oreek.
above said reservoir No. 2. That, In the
oplnlop of deponent, this souroe, the last
aid lot and stables, are a worse souroe of
danger than the two hog lots referred to.
That In the dairy business li Is almost
necessary to keep and raise bogs In order to
make the bUBlnesa profitable because by tblt.
meaDB the waste and otherwise unprofitable
offal of the dairy produots are consumed pro
fltably. That deponent also about three
^ months ago visited reservoir No. 2, and saw
then several cows on the land ol the plaintiff
oompan>, Just above said reservoir, and wading
about In the mud and water backed up
(from said reservoir No. 2 That reservoir No.2
drains a large area of hillside land adjoining,
which Is cultivated, and from several places on
which people reside, with barn, yard, orchard
and other usual appurtenanoes, and at the
plaoe occupied by one P. G. Roberts, and belonging
to plaintiff company, within a hundred
yards of the water edge of reservoir No.
2,JuBton the hillside above same deponent
aw a privy, a stable and a cow sbed, and saw
a cow grazing within a few feet of the water
_ In reservoir No. 2. That the only protection
ft against the drainage of surfaoe water from
said premises seen by deponent was a small
If berme dltoh a few Inches deep, and at places
i tilled up with leaves and trash and evidence*
were seen where same had overflowed at some
rain, and the same Is wholly Inadequate to
aarrv a fractional nart of thn wnt.nr that, cnl
lecta at this place and seeks outlet Into the
pood below. That the water in said reservoir
Is muddy and Impure looking, and, In ibe
oplDlon of deponent tne said muddy and impure
condition arises and comes from tbe
K great amount of surface water that ruus into
same from the hillsides of cultivateable land
for from a quarter to a hall mile from same.
That deponent saw an old road leading way
back upon the hill which drains a vast
amount of mud into the upper part of said
reservoir, and deponent saw where, in several
places, tbe mud has been washed into Raid
reservoir from tbe hillsides, and is filling ud
said pond on the edge, andtbis renders same
Impure and muddy, and tbere are no more
conspicuous evidences of care about said
reservoir No. 2 tban if the water of same were
tobeused In turning a water wheel, instead
of being designed to be UBed for drinking purposes.

Let F* Keep Oar Yoaujr Men at
Home.
From tbe days of our earliest recollection
men have been at times moving away from ,
Abbeville County. Before the war the pre ,
sence of slavery was at the bottom of the
adjoining lands of the small landowner. He
mail then move on. There few obanoes for
him to bay a home here. The result was
that the western States were largely settled ,
by Booth Carolinians. The slave-owner enoouraged
the removal of the "white trash"
and the "poor buckra" dreamed of better
lands In the West.
Daring the years from 1868 to 1876 a spirit of
nnreBt was generated, and the disposition to (
leave the State was so pronounced that the
wise men of the common wealth saw danger,
and set themselves to correct the evil. It was
finally agreed that if we encouraged the
manufacturing industries that the emlgatlon
of our people would stop. They would prefer
profitable employment at home, and would
stay here If the opportment to work was
offered. I
VMI uo|ioiaiA/ia, iu uiuoi IU cu^uuia^o tuo
building of cotton mills, paused an act refunding
all raxes for ten years. To this faot may
be attributed tbe great lnpetus along that
line. Tbe cotton mills in Soutb Carolina now
give employment to many thousand good
people who would, except for tbe mills, be
citizens of otber States.
Right bere in Abbeville there is a spirit of 1
unrest among our young men because of a 1
lack of profitable employment. We are told
tbat many applicants for work at tbe furniture
factory are turned away becausb tbe
factory is full ol help. We are also Informed i
tbat some young men have zone to a factory !
In Indiana, and tbat others contemplate
going. The strength and the wealth ol a
oommunlty Is in Its men, Abbeville should
not allow her men go away because of a lack
of work. Let as build another factory, and
give profitable employ to others and keep
them at home.
Strange.
On April 14, we wrote a letter to Mr. C. W.
Blrchmore, Camden, 8. C. On the left hand
corner of the envelope was printed these
words: "After 5 days return to the Press
and Banner, Abbeville, S. C." On July 28,?
Just two months and fourteen days after
sending it,?the letter was received at this office
marked ''Returned to writer," with a
big fist pointing to Instructions. On tbe opposite
side, or tbe back of tbe envelope, "an
claimed."
What we would like loknow Is, why was
the letter not delivered ? Mr. Blrcbmore Is
editor of the Wateree Messenger. He Is also
treasurer or olerk of the School board of the
township In which he lives. He is a man
possessing property, and a man of affairs in
the eity. Does he not call for hie mail, or is
he unknown to the postmaster? Why did
the postmaster ws,lt for two months Instead
of five days to roturn the letter ?
We do not understand, why letters should
not be delivered to Mr. Blrchmore, and we
do not understand why his letters are "unclaimed."

Tilt' c'liiMlcl mid Free Ariuertl mIiikIt
does not seem fair to us for the state to
establish a whole lot of free schools fo-> high
er education, such as Soutb Carolina college
and the Citadel academy, and then pay men
to go ovar the state and solicit students. It
Is unfair competition with- private and denominational
colleges.?Newberry Observer.
There Is also a very decided disposition
among these liberally supported slate
inotitntinnu in om?(>t fh? n p w* n? nprs to
advertise them, directly and indirectly, for
little or no pay. This Is another Injustice to
the colleges supported without state aid,
which we have never known to ak for free
advertising.?Chester Lantern.
And most ot the papers give the free advertising
Just as it Is asked. And it costs the
State a pretty good sum per capita to furnish
this higher education aud tbe young man
just as much as it would cost him to go to
any other college In the State while we are
paying the small Rura of $3.00 per capita to
give to the thousauds of boys and girls unable
to go to colleue the common school education
furbished by the free public schools.
The constitution says we "shall" support the
public schools and we "may" support the
colleges.?Newberry Herald and News.
We thoroughly agree with the Lantern on
thesutiject of tree advertising; and we take
no Issue with the position of the Newberry
fl*" onH Voim. nffV.ru
UUBCi VCI. luouvioiw ?uu i^wnn vwv.u ivvH
for thought.
During Col. Thomas's recent vl?slt to this
Held he handed us eleven-inch prooi of matter
pertaining to the Citadel, which he would
like to see in the Press and Banner. Desiring
not to appear disobliging we excused our
self on the ground that it was only a short
time until the paper would go to press.
From our standpoint there is little need to
support what Tillman facitiously called the
"dude factory." The reasons which prompted
our forefathers In establishing that college
no longer exists.
When that college was organized the ruling
spirits of this commonwealth were Imbued
with the idea that at the will of the
people it might become an independent republio.
In that event soldiers would be
needed, and our Citadel was copied after the
national military academies. The competitive
examination was, nnder suah circumstances,
the proper method. It was Intended,
not aB a charitable Institution, but as an Institution
to make military officers.
While the method of giving scholarships
were not reduced to writing, yet the history
of the past throws only a very thin veil over
the real plan. That is to say: The Institution
was to be an aristocratic lnatltatlon,
wuerc IUV BUUB UI uuiuiiuuaic gcuuoiucu
might be educated free of cost to themselves.
But with the advent of Tlllmanlsm came
the passing of the old rule. IMebeians walked
right Into the sacred preclnots as soon a6
Tlllmanlsm became a power.
If the Charleston Citadel would act fair
with the denominational colleges, tben It
should do as they do, pay for their advertU
lng, and not employ a popular gentleman
like Col. Thornae, who may be expected to
secure free of charge, on his own, account,
matter about the State institution which no
denominational has ever had the cheek to
ask, without oSerlng to pay.
N ot wishing to be disagreeable to Col
Thomas, we said nothing of this matter while
he was among our people. If we were to give
advise, we would suggest that boys be sent to
some ol the vailous colleges wblch do not
seek free advertising, and where equally good
educational advantages may be bad for about
half the money that it costs to send a boy to
the Charleston Citadel. That institution is
80 Intensely Charleston that it gives what
little advertising the law compels it to do, to
nn asrent in the cltv so that the aeent mav
get his commission and reduce the advertisiDg
to the lowest figure. The Citadel Is a
Charleston Institution, which Is supported by
the State treasury, and to which citizens in
ev?ry part of the Slate are iuvlted to send
paystudentB at a very high CMt.
Abbeville a* a Manafactarinjc Centre.
Owing to our modesty, we have made no
blowing horn of the fact that Abbeville is one
of the most important manufacturing centres
in this part of the up-country.
Draw a circle within, say sixty miles,
around the city, and we have more spindles
tban can be found In a town similar size in
the Southern States. Starling at Athens, and
going around the circle, we would include
the various ootton mills and paper mills, In
Athens, Elberton, Washington, McUormlck,
Edgefield, Newberry, Clinton, Laurens,
Greenwood, Ware'aShoals, Anderson,Belton,
Houea Path, NVllllamston, Greenville, Spat*
lanburgaud Union.

age city, but Abbeville, coueclous of her advantages,
inakes no bo&ft of being tbe centre
of so much more than half of tbe spindles in
South Carolina.
We merely refer to our pre-lmmence aB a
manufacturing centre. We would not Incur
the displeasure of our struggling neighbors by
any boasting on our own part.
They have done well and we would give
each and all of them due credit for the noble
assistance which they have given us In building
up the industrial enterprises, and develDplng
the resources of the Piedmont section.
We do not claim a monopoly of the noble
work, but give a share of the praise to the
towns which have emulated our own example.
Identity Discovered,
Our nelghhor, the Greenvlfle Mountainser,
who live at the foot-hill of the Blue
Ridge, where the refreshing breezes of the
mountains and the pure water from the purling
rill on Paris Mountain constantly renews
his youth and gives added strength
to his mentality, is In error when he charges
Brethren HolmeB, Bown and Wilson with
writing "The Reflections of a Bachelor." We
know that at least one of the brethren will
plead "not guilty", and we have felt disposed
to put In a similar plea (or the other brethren
named. As good luck would have It, we
have discovered the Identity of the writer o'
the aforesaid pieces. The Pickens Sentinel,
perched like the eagle, on the mountain
cliffs, Is the guilty author. While he does
not attach his name to the following piece,
yet It appeared as his own. Tbe proof Is
conduslve and we are acquitted. Tbe Seutl
el Bays :
A kiss Is a peculiar proposition. Of no use
to one, yet absolute bliss to two. The small
boy gets It for nothing, tbe young man has to
steal It, tbe old man bas to buy It. Tbe baby's
right, tbe lovers privilege, the hypocrites
mask. To a young girl faith; to a married
woman hope, and to an old maid, charity.
That Jones Brudley Story.
The two Abbeville papers, the Press and
Bauner and the Medium told stories last
week about County Treasurer Bradley and
State Comptroller Jones. The stories were
about manual labor in their gardens, but they
vary so much lu tbe telling that tbe public
are Inclined to believe that both of those
newspapers have been hoodooed by some
story teller about towu.and thatnellher Mr.
Bradley nor Jones has bad any disposition to
labor In gardens In some time. It Is all a
fake, very likely.?Greenwood News and
Views.
Of course the Press and Hanner told of the
manual exercise of Messrs. Jones and Bradley
among the vegetables as it was told to us.
The sun had got hot before we were out. We
wait until alter breakfast before going abroad.
When we were out these gentlemen were in
the shade testing from their labors.
Cemetery Needed.
We notice that the Clintou Chronicle states
that, among other things, a city cemetery In
needed. Abbeville has many needs, but we
can scuffle along for a while yet without "a
city cemetery." Our people live on forever
or move off, and in either event we don't
need a cemetery. What we do need, however,
is more industrial enterprises, not to
keep our people from dying, but to keep
them from moving off.
No man is always right?and if he
is a married man it's ten to one that
he's never right.
