FZ-'ffgS; ' - . ,-v. The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. c ?*-Pabllebed every Wednesdp at. 82 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Sept. 9, 1903. Cherokee Shoal*. Hon.Isaao McCalla was In town last Monday. He reporta that Cherokee Falls on the Savannah river la to be Improved and the great water power Is to.be turned to good account. a uaui, iweuiy two iaei m&u, in iu uc built across tbe river, and thousands of borse power In electricity will be generated, and used In tbe Industries by tbe neighboring towns. The power will be In operation In less than two years from this time. Electric lines will be built to tbe neighboring cities, and tbe power will be sold at a price to knock ooal clear out of tbe box. Cherokee Shoals la Immediately above Trotters Shoals on the Savannah. Tbe development of Anthony Shoals and Cherokee Shoals will revolutionize existing manufactures, and stimulate tbe building of other factories to use all of tbe great power, which is more valuable and more oertaln than a gold mine. The outlook for this oountry was never more promising than at this time. Mr. McCalla Is a praotlcal man of means, and he and bis friends have determined to utilize the great wealth of power that bag bo long Idly passed over the shoals which belong to him. The possibilities for good which He dorment In oar great water fallB Is not easily estimated. The attention of the captains of industry being directed In that way, even the oldest of us may live to see our waste places changed Into busy scenes of activity while manufacturing enterprises of Importance may be seen to rise on every bill. One of the greatest posslblllteea of wealth Is our water power. We know of no oounty that has more unimproved water power than Abbeville county. The fact Is, that none of the great water powers have been utilized. The great value of our power has been going to waste lor all time, but now It seems that great corporations are being formed to harness for useful and profitable purposes some of the many valuable water powers tnai are now doing nothing to Improve the country or to benefit mankind. Id tbe low ooantry tbe deep and sluggish streams are ^ utilized for shipping purposes. In the hill country no such use can be made of tbe streams, but we can use tbe water for pur. posea which are ten. thousand times more profitable. Tbe water that rushes and breaks over the rocks as It comes down tbe shoal* can be used as power to drive machinery 01 to light our cities. Our streams are full all tbe year. They are never dry, and they are never Irozen. They are comparatively exempt from tbe dangerous or destructive floods that threaten and bring ruin to otbe> sections. The health of tbe county Is as perfect as was the Garden of Eden. With all these tblngs In our favor, Is It not strange that no power of any Importance has been improved ? The demand for power i> greater than the supply. But it Is posslole that tbe high prioe of coal may caune us to look around for cheaper power, and this cheaper power will make this county prosperous and happy. Abbeville Should Get a Move on Her. Every year In tbe life of tbe town, no lest than thai of tbe individual, should record some step forward in business enterprise. Abbeville has many most excellent young men, whose business qualities embrace tbe elements of success; but without help from their neighbors they have not tbe ready money to establish manufacturing enterprises. As a rule tbey stand upon their merits, and have exolted tbe envy and lllwlll of none, aa have many of tbe older men about town. For that reason It seems to us that tbe older men of the olty could subscribe to tbe capital Btock of some industrial enterprise. and give one or more of our worthy young men a chance to prove the merit which they possess. If our people generally would subscribe a sufficient amount could be raised > without burling anybody. The resultant good would be sufficient to Induce the investment. In all oonsclence, we have stores a plenty. And retail stores never build up a city. It lakes enterprises that pay wages to employees to pat money In oiroulatlon. And If the money la pot In circulation, It Is Ihe fault of tbe Individual If be does not gatber up bis bare of tbe shifting dollars. Let some of our young men get together, map out a plan ol procedure, and for tbem there Is no such word as fall. Tbe older men would readily oome to their help. While the older men, lor reasons of tbelr own, would not be liberal in subscribing took for other older men, yet we believe that the needed encouragement should be given to the younger men who conolude to embank In a manufacturing enterprise. We have a notable lnstanoe of tbelr success In building tbe Eureka Hotel, wblob Is one of tbe best in this part of the State. They succeeded in that undertaking In spite of the fact that tbe people were divided as to Its " advisability. On tbe establishment of an industrial enterprise there can be no division or sentiment. A pull all together, even Ultlsasllght pull, will accomplish resul ts. No progress, as yet has been made this year along this line. No year ougbt to pass without taking a step forward In material prosperity. Let oar young men take the lead. Tbe old men will follow. Wallervlllee, Miss. Away back in tbe fifties, Mr. H. L. Holland, a printer In tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterian offloe, moved from Dae West to Guntown, Mississippi. He married a daughter of A. C. Hawthorn, and sister of Dr. O. P. Hawthorn of Due West. With blB wife and little children they struok out for new fields of usefulness and happiness. Mrs. Holland died years ago, bat Mr. Holland has been singularly blessed In good health for all these years, as will be seen by,the following letter. He is still lives, while so many of his contemporaries of tbe fifties have passed over the River. The letter Is dated Aagast SO, 1903, and will be read with interest by tbose old people who kDew him. It was addressed to Dr. O. P. Hawthorn: While my heart almost bleeds with grief and sorrow over tbe death of our dear sister Josle, yet as tbe others know I have great oanse to rejoice over tbe result of tbe election on tbe 25th Inst. While I am now 78 years, I have good cause to be proad of my children and wben I tell you of tbelr success you too will not not be ashamed to olalm tbem as your nephews. Donald A. has been Supervisor of Union County for the last 4 years. Jas. K. 8. was elected as his successor on tbe 27th Inst. John H. Holland was elected Treasurer of Pantotoc County on tbe same day. and Ed Tate (our nephew,) was elected sheriff of Union County. My general health Is good, never better, have not been confined but one peace of a day in bed for 18 years. At times I feel almost as a boy again. Tbe kin are all well and doing well so far aB I kflow. Give our best regards and love to all or oar Kin ana inenas in your county, ana aooept large potion to yourself. Yours <tc, H. L. Holland. i The Race Problem. Wtf" -' ' Various suggestions have been made aa to the best method ol settling the race question. We think the best way to settle that question la to let It alone. It will settle itself. Mlmnaugh's store In Columbia, was destroyed by fire riunday night. . , . .Stf2.fov.yj V-'/.. i The Tlllmnn Trial. Owing to the Illness of Judge Gage, Chief Justice l'ope lias to assign a Judge to sit at the StAntnmhnr Iprm In LfixlnctOU. Where J. 11. Tillman Is to be tried for killlug N. G. Gonzales. This position was gLven to Judge ' Townsend, who was on the bench when the t change of venue was granted. This Is taken , by Columbia dispatches to tndloate that the Judge Is not unfriendly to Tillman. The fact that he Is a "TUlmanlte" is referred to while ' disclaiming fear of partiality for the prisoner. The fact that Judge Pope refused ball to the prisoner, and then appointed the Judge, who granted the change of venue, might be considered as an offset. As everybody knows, the shooting was the result of attacks of the deceased in his newspaper on the life and character of the slayer. . Whether these attacks upon character are to be taken as mitigating circumstances In bringing on vlolenoe is a matter for the consideration of the Jury. In law we believe it is contended that spoken words do not Jus tify violence. The Jury In this case will, In I all probability, consider the printed words which are quite another thing Irom the spoken word. In this case we believe raucn Interest Is felt < among people of the city of Columbia, where . both the slayerand the slain bad many warm . friends and many bitter enemies. And It Is , fair to conclude that the trial will be a battle among giants, where the best legal ability will be matched, and wbere partisan feeling for and against the prisoner may not be lack- . lng. It has been said that the town of Lexington will be pressed for lodging accommodations i for those who will attend the trial. Traduclut,' Character Worse Than j Innocent Pleasure. When vulgarity and self-rlghteouBness assume the robes of purity and presume by insinuation, If not by direction, to impute sin ; to those who dance, it is refreshing to see a Christian newspaper rise above tha little mean methods whloh may have been adopted by evil thinking people wben speaking of in- . oocent young women in me aauce. vulgarian can see evil In almost anything. "Evil to him who evil thlnkest." And the habit ol slandering young people who danoe, It seems to us, has about reached the limit of forbearance. It certainly has gone far enough to excite the oonterapt of honorable and virtuous minded people. People out of the sooial circle, and whose presence would not be welcomed at the dance, may speak from envy. People who h'ave never been In sooiety may speak from lack of information, but It is the act of an Ignorant vulgarian who Imputes social impurity to innocent amusement. The Raleigh (N. C.) Ohristian Advocate makeB this timely comment: "Thepreaoher wbodenounces.as he should, tbe sin of woridltuess manifested in dauclng, tneatre going and gambling, certai n ly vitlatet. toe effect, by Haying nothing coucernlng tbe disregard of Unaucial obligations, social impurity and economic tyranny, all of which are worse, If slo can be graded, than dancing and theatre going. We have known men to talk In sepulchral Uorritled tonee ol the Christmas giddiness of tbe gay young things and at the same time dodge a grocery store where an unpaid, unrecognized grocery bill stared them in the face. There are plous-wo men who frown at the young people talking in cburcb, and at tbe same time talk a neighbor's good name into blisters. Here Is a call for tbe pulpit to exercise some of its wise specializing functions." "Mhsn Meeting." The following la a copy of a hand-bill, which explains Itself. It was to advertise the first Secession meeting In South Carolina. Various meetings bad been held in this county, but this was the first of a series ol State meetings which were later held in the different counties throughout the 8tate. If the reader will run through the list of names appearing in that baud-bill, it will be *een that Hon. W. H. Parfcer is the only survivor. One after another of all the honored and beloved men who called that meeting, or took part in its exciting scenes, (with that single exception,) have gone hence. Some of them fell on fields of battle, some died in distant homes far from this scene, while others died at home. Their Individuality may per- : ish from oar minds and the part which each i aoted may be forgotten, but the imperishable history which was then inaugurated will live ' forever. The story of the scenes and strug- 1 gleg that followed will Include the names- 1 the victories and the defeats In a warfare that ' shall for all time surround the Individual ao- ' tors with a halo of glory, while shedding a ' reflected light on American valor. i i MASS MEETING At Abbeville <U.
