Mann was In the city last Monday shaking hands with his many friends I who are always glad to see him In Abbeville. 8 Mr. Johu A. Harris, President of the Abbe- 1 vllle Cotton Mill, returned last Sunday from " a business trip to New York. Miss Bessie Mann, of Antrevllle, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. J. M. Wiikerson. Mr. Thomas B. Curtis, or Charleston, last week on "special business"?looking after his "best" girl. He lelt happy aud well satisfied ^ altera pleasant stay of several days. MlssNelle Edwards ol4the city worshipped at Sharon last Sunday and spent the remainder of the day with her brother, Mr. R. O. Edwards and family. Mrs. Frank Lawson, of Blue Kidge. Georgia,arrived In tbecliy last Monday and Is the gueHt of Mrs. G. H. Fuller. Comptroller A. \V. Jones Is In tho city, where be received a cordial greeting from iniitiv friends. * ABBEVILLE'S MEKCIIANTS Have returned from Northern markets, and judging from the number ol "big boxes" iu front of their doors would say they and their salesmen are all busy as bee*. Yes every store is a veritable "bee hive." They have laid in immense Blocks, anticipating the high price oi cotton and expecting a hlg trade this rail and winter, and there Is no reason why their most sanguine expectations should not be realized, 'Tib true the crop will be "short," but the price 1b "long," so the dltfer ence is haiauced and every one will have some money lo spend, and they will find no better market than Abbeville In which to sell their cotton and buy their goods. Read the county papers and see where bargains nre ofTered. Tho up-to-date merchants advertise, and the wide-awake customers take advanIago thereof and pick up bargains, while the fellow who dou't r^ad. and doesn't take the papers is left. This is an age when every man muy read and be wise, and must look out for himself. WILL IT BENEFIT ABBEVILLE? That is, the putting on of a night train over the Southern. From our standpoint we fail to see how the city will derive any benefit therefrom. , Ai< regards mull facilities (should they be brought on the night train) they will be Just the Hairie, as the malls will arrive when the post ofnfre is closed, and half the people retired for the night, therefore will not be brought up until the next morning. Onr fine hotel?the Kureka?has just been finished and opened up and what It wants to make It a success In public patronage, of which none pays better than the traveling salesman, all of whom "hustle" to get ahead of the other fellow and are always ready to take ad vantage of "quick and close" railroad connection in going to, or leaving a town. So 1 with this extra night train, they can arrive c over the Seaboard at -1 p. m. and over the ( Southern also, transact their business, leave , on the night train over the Southern and be in some other city next morning ready for t "breakfast" and business, leaving Abbeville , miles In their wake. Persons coming to trade can come In over f either road, and have all day to make their purchases and a quiok "outlet for home" over , the night train via the Southern. There are always "two sides" to a question, ' and tho above is as it appears at a casual 1 glance from our Hide. Reader, what think , you of the "night train ?" T1IE CITY COUNCIL ( are putting Iti some nice work that will "show up" for time to come and will greatly Improve certain portions of the city. While they are hustling for the appearance ol the city, why not wield the "white wash" brush Justa little? This would Just now brighten up things wonderfully and give the city a pretty and clean appearance to visitors. Supposo you try it and see the Improvement. IIETHEL, LEBANON* AND SHAItON ALL TUMULED TOGETHER. Cotton picking Is all the rage In the country Just now?the fields are white and on every side men, women and children are gathering the fleaey staple. Another picture Is the huge "hay'stacks" and the wauons loaded with hay ou their way from the fields to the barn. This Is a bustling time "down on the farm" and "He who by the plow would thrive; Must himself either hold or guide." This Is a good and lrne maxim, and if you h? vn't tried It, do so at once. Mrs. Mattle Wilson, or Lebanou, Is In the cltv the guest of Mrs, Divine. t Misses Marv. Knima and Hettie Evans were . the guests lust Monday of their frteud, Miss ' Isabelie Evan?. Mrs. Mary W.

Gone to Lexington. Hon. Frank B. Gary left Abbeville last Saturday morning on his way to Lexington, vhere he had been appointed to hold Court, t was Judge Gage's Circuit, but he is sick, fudge Townsend was first appointed to hold he Court for Judge Gage. Then Judge VV. C. 3enet was named, and later Hon. Frank B. 3ary was assigned to the work. As far as we iave noticed, the newspapers have spokun ltghly of Mr. Gary's appointment and all j .Link that he will conduct the Court with airness and i to partiality. In which opinion ' he Press and Banner fully corcars. IutereHt In bis appointment was excited be- , :ause of tbe fact tbat tbo trial of James H. 1 HUman is looked'to come off this week. The | jrisoner stands charged with murder in the killing of Editor N. G. Gametics in Columbia ! ast Keburary. It is said that 500 witnpssea j lave been summonsed, and several lawyers i Dave been employed on both sides of the ase. Mr. Gary, as Judge, will no doubt hold , ,he scales fairly. Xijflit Air?Malaria. J We often hear of "night air" as being some- j hing to be dreaded, and from which the In- j llvldual should shut himself closely in his oom, or words to that effect. There is just ,wo kinds of "night air." One kind Is out of ( loorsand tbe other kind is in doors. The i 'night air" out of doors may be possibly bad, ' >ut tbe night air that is shut up in a sleeping oom is sure to be bad. If you would not luflfer the consequences of breathing bad 'night air," let your sleeping apartment be ( veil veutillated every night In the year by an < tmm tm Tlie Cotton Crop. All sorts of predictions have been made j ihoutthe destruction, or the failure of the lotton crop. Our own opinion is, that no :rop on earth is km certain as the cotton crop. ! While on some farms there may be a short- i ig<\ yet ou others a good crop will be gather- < id, and the average will be kept up for this iectton. i Corn, oats, wheat and other grain crops nay lall, but the man who plants cotton will ;ather cotton. The high price Is encourag- , ng, and It has been satd that every negro, ivho has a two-horse farm, will ride this win- J er in a new red buggy. I f this be true Messrs Jalvert & N'ickols will got rich. Tilliunn (loine to Trial. The trial of James H. Tillman will likely )egin next Monday at Lexington, Hon. F. B. iary presiding. It is said that nine lawyers will represent ,he defendant, and that live lawyers will rep eseut the State In tills prosecution. The exciting cause and the unexpected jomicide combiucd, muke this case one of ,he most notable that ever occured In this itule, and reports of the daily proceedings as hey appear In the newspapers will Interest eaders everywhere. No man ever had greater provocation to lomuiit a crime, and, technically speaking, 10 man ever committed a more Indefensible ict, thau that for which Tillman comes into Jourt. The circumstances that led up to the act, he delay iu resenting it, and the unexpected jomicide will till a volume. Able arguments on both sides will be made, uid the field, when the battle is over, will eave nothing for the gleunors. The State, as Jar as we now can recall, has lever employed as many lawyers to prosecute l citizen, and no other citizen has been forced lo meet ho large an array of counsel. For interesting issues in the prosecution tnd the defense, this case will be historical In ;he annals of tho Courts. Tho prisoner was ihsallud in good name. Violence followed tnd we believe that it Is now claimed that the entire prestt of tho State, with a singie exception. Is arrayed against the prisoner, h'ive attorneys are prosecuting the case, the whole press of the State and live ab'e lawyers, It would seem, ought to be able lo soiivlclulmost any body. Ii now remains to he <een how a jury of twelve turn will consider tho matter, and decide whether a man defend his good name. The Kiiniest.

TOBACCO CULTURE. Successful Growing of the Weed by Farm era Around Hodges. liodaes, S. C., Sept. 11,1903. About eight months ago several of our en terprlsing citizens held a meeting to discus >he plaiting of the golden weed here tbi /ear. A list was thus circulated and an; farmer who intended planting put down th number of acres he would plant, but like al jiner enterprises, every one is wining to oei; until tbe time comes for them to sign cor 'raci to plant and pa., bis share of exper fee. The following named gentlemen plantei forty acres around Hodgex: Dr. S. T. Lea John D. Pace, John B. Stevenson, McN oocbrao, T. VV. Pace, C. W. Rain water, A. 1 Divls. J. Orrle Lea, J. L. McCord, J. Arthu Med lock. McW. Ellis, J. H. McCord, Willi Ellis and Hodges Bros There were seven barns built for curing thl forty acres of tobacco. Those who oni; plsnted one or two acres would club togethe ind cure in the same barn. Capt. 8. 8. Berger, wbo has spent most c tiis life in the culture of tobacco In Virginia !>?t for ihe last ten years at TimmonsvilU 3. C., Florence County, came np as the guen af Dr. Lea, carefully examined all the lam trouud here and said it was second to none 11 the .state for culture of tobacco. Capt. Bei ?t*r recommended a competent expert. H was employed Him guve euuu pinuici trivia ill are of his time, going from one tobaco rarm toabotber, learning each farmer In sen son how to cultivate, to use paris green ti Kill the tobacco worm, to top sucker, etc., uui lu turn how to prime (gather) and cure It. Tobacco will stand more ups and down than any crop wo plant, but It. requires Intel llgence to grow it successfully, therefore, It 1 a white man's orop. For that class of farmer wbo do most of their own work tobacco is th crop which ought to pay, as Its cultivatloi tnd curing will not interfer with his cottoi crop more than so many acre* of corn. Tb main work comes on when his cotton am corn is layed by, then his little children cai keep the suckers oil. When it is ripe he am bis soils can pull it. then. hi? wife and dauuti ters can sit In the shade acd string It. Thei comes the most Interesting part of the tobac so plat!ting?tlie curing. It takes three day und three nights to cure a barn of tobaccc the beat ranging from 100 to 175degrees, some times as high as 190 degrees. The culture ot tobacco is this section is very marked success la every respect, al though this was an unfavorable year on an; crop. The crop turned out well in regards t< inanity and quality on land planted. Now comes the tough part of the proposl lion. Home of our citizens, who a few week ago, were all smiles over their beautiful detd r>f tobacco, now look like the little boy tba '' " '? the ultnnfloi LUC Unil I'UU u*ri , uuu at \ji tr>vuu ?uv Is enough to make them look so. Three hue lretl pounds were shipped a few days ago b; Mr J. Orrie Lea to try the market, and afte paying freight. drayaue, warehouse fees, etc he received S5.78. This tobacco last year wouli irnve sold from 10 to 'Si cents per pound. Thi section Is the home lor tobacco,and the farm Brs were very hopeful for the future of thi section, but that mighty trust, the Amerlcai Tobacco Co.. i? sapping the lite out of the In Justry, as the class of farmers that woul< plant tobacco cannot raise It at the presen pr> es. Those who planted t bacco here deserv credit, for they rea lz"d from the first that i would take a good crop and fair price to le out. They wanted the experiment tried her und were willing to pay for It. They will no reuret. their losses if they have to sell at prei tint prices, for they believe they have starte an industry which some day will be wort more to them than a cotton mill. J. O. L.
