v.V.v ' j SALE OF FOENITOKE STOCK. Yice-PrealUeiit S. F. (rower Xow Owuh a Controlling lulcrcsi In the Fnrnitnre Factory. By a deal last Monday Mr. S. F. Cromer, Vice-President, become the owner of Dr. L. T. Hill's stock, 2H shares, in the Abbeville Furniture Factory, which purchase gives Mr. t Cromer a controlling Interest in that indus- % trial enterprise. The price paid was Slio per i share. 1 A.8 the control of that institution has been r for months a matter of interest to many of g our citizens, the Press anil Banner has sought an Interview with Mr. Cromer to learn his s probable action in reference to the mauage- e ment of the factory. t Mr. Cromer?I expect the factory to be run j . In the future very much as it has been run in j the past. No radical changes need be expect- i ed. as far as I am concerned. t "You are then satisfied with the manage- r ment?" u "Yes, sir; I think the factory is well con- t ducted under the present able management, t and I see no necessity , for any chauge. I ( think the factory is now run In the best inter- t estoi me siocKooiciere. "Do yon expect to become president of the company ?" "No; I do not. I am well satisfied with Mr. Blake's excellent management; and even 11 I should think changes ought to be made, the matter will, as heretofore, be referred to the action of the directors. The fact that I own a majority of the stock gives me uo greater power to act than has any other director; I am only more Interested In the success of the factory." "Yon think the factory is making money ?" "Yes; It Is being run In a very satisfactory way, and I think the stockholders will be well satisfied with their Investment. The business is now so satisfactory that I hope the company may be able to pay a small dividend on the first of January. At present our salesmen are sending In very satisfactory orders." The capital Btock of the company Is $25,000, divided Into 250 shares of the par value of $100. The holders, as far as we have learned, are as follows: * ' THE SHAREHOLDERS. P. F. Cromer 126 shares J.

Hammond, Secretary. i OFFICERS TALK. j The Press and Banner sought the President, Mr. J. R. Biake. He says that the matter of transfer of the stock has not come before the ! Board officially, and be does not know what i effect It may have upon Its future policy, i . The factory has been doing a good business, i and the stock Is worth the price paid for it. i The grade of furniture has been highly satis unit fln/tn poaHv fin I a 1r> t.hn market. I Mr. D. Barksdale, director, says that he doesn't expect any change In the management or ibe admlniBtration of the affairs or the company. The directors were eleoted at the annual meeting, to serve for one year from that time. The directors at the same time elected the officers to serve for one year, i or until next May. There can be no chaDge i In the officers or directors until next May, unless there shonld be resignations, which I do < not expeot. Mr. K. E. Cox, director, thought tbere were , times when least said was best, and this wan one of the times when It was well not to talk. He bad no unpleasant forbodlngs. and hoped by a conservative course on the part of Mr. Cromer that all would be well. He thought It Inadvisable for the minority stock bolders to throw away their shares. TROY. / #i The Trojans are Very Happy and PronperouN.

T. Larry Qantt in Spartanburg Herald. | During my recent "tramp abroad'' I spent j lie most delightful day and night In Abbeville, S. C., and met ou every iimid with the| nost unbouuded kindness and hospitality, am a native of old Abbeville county, my naternai ancestors being among its earliest ettiers. It huR beeu something over thirty vears ilnce I last visited Abbeville court Bouse, tnd which was then one ofour small country owns, like apparently too many places, llvng on in memory oi the past and slowly pershlng with tiie dry rol. But it is so no onger. The spirit, of twentieth progresslvelesH has seized upon the old town, and jl is low a busy hive of Industry. I do not know i city In upper South Carolina with a brlglit>r or more promising luture than Abbeville,! >r which is founded on more solid and enluring prosperity. The machine shops of ,be Seaboard Air Line railway is located at. Vbbevllle, aud add to the population of the >lace a large number of splendid citizens ind high salaried mechanics, many ol whom , lave bouuht homes in the town. Then there s a new SSOii,000 cotton mill, i qulpped with be most improved macmnery. jum m ,? jew enterprise, but It ih now on a paying )asis, and will add much to the wcnltli ami prosperity of the town. Abbeville also boasts >ne of the most complete furniture factories n the youth, and which is turning out. suits ,bat would ornament any borne. The Eureca, Abbe*ille's beautiful and commodious jew botel, is equipped throughout with lome-made lurnuure. And while 011 thin iubject, 1 must not neglect to eudorse the Sureka, at which house I stopped, and is jnder the management of Mr. \V. T. McPull, 1 most genial and popular gentleman. The Eureka would do credit to a city many times :he population of Abbeville. To \V. P. Greene, Esq., and Dr. G. A. Neuf'er am I Indebted for an evening's drive >ver Abbevilleand its environs. Mr. Greene Is a prominent lawyer, of tho firm of l'arker & Greene, as also secretary and treasurer of Abbeville cotton mill and President, of the Eureka Hotel Company. Dr. Neutl'er is a leading physlclau ot the city. Abbeville is rich in historic interest, being Dne ol the oldest settled places In the upcountry, Its inhabitants were typical South Carolinians, and tier soldiers tlgured gallantly in every war our republic lias ever seen, from tbe Revolution dowu to the Spauish\merlcan skirmish. The tocsin for onr laie great civil war was first sounded lu Abbeville and I bad pointed out to me Secession Hill, now covered with handsome residences, and Where at a pUOIlC meeting, luc mm uran.fition ol southern independence whs made. rhlR historic spot is a romautlc wooded knoll. Dear the tireenvllle depot, aud )h visited by nil tourists. A sister-in-law of Senator Latimer now owuh this historical spot, and her tiandsome residence crowns the summit. It was at the beautiful old Southern mansion o! the late Armlstead Hurt President Davis and his cabinet held a meeting, and there leclded upon an abandonment of the war and a retreat to foreign chores. Their'final meeting, however was held at the home of Gen. Heard, in Washington, Ga., and from that place our Confederate leaders dispersed, and Mr. Davis while making his way to'the seacost,'was captured in Irwiu County, Ga. Hut it was undoubtedly In old Abbeville that the abandonment of our Lost Cause was decided upon, and that tragic event took place in sight ot the hill from which the first declaration of Southern Independence was made; So Abbevlile town is indeed the alpha and omega of the South's great war for Independence. The people of Abbeville have ever been In tensely loyal to the South. Its cause, and Its traditions, and while they were the Urst to advise taking up arms in defense of our institutions, were the last to yield. Even after the surrender, a Presbyterian minister was expelled irom his puipu ror praying ior me President of the United States. Hih congregation argued that as the new constitution ol the United States had not been ratified, it was turn pastor's duty to have prayed lor the President of the Southern Confederacy. This loyal old church 1b still standing, and In a grand and imposing edifice. I was shown a Seceder church, and which denomination descends from those sturdy aud unconquerable old Christians the Covenanters of Sco'laud, and which could not be crushed or subjected by the dragoons of Claverhouse, or the tortures inflicted by King James and other persecutors. The Presbyterians. I think, spranglrom the Seceders, onl v the latter still observe all the creeds of the mother church, and are stroug believers iu predestination. The Seceders are Bincere. consistent and fearless Christians, and I honor them. Abbeville has produced some of tbe greatest men of the South. I think, that both John C. Calhoun and George McDuttie were natives of that county. Col. Armistead Burt, Foster Marshall, J udge Ward law, J udge Cothran, Gen. McGowau and many oiber ol South Carolina's grandest statesmeu and military leaders lived In Abbeville. Ex-Guv. John Gary Evans, Senator. Latimer, Hon. Frank Gary, Judge Ernest Gary, and other leading gentlemen who have lately conspicuously figured in politics are natives of Abbeville city or county. In faot, that county has been noted for centuries for Its ureal men, and from the bright eyes and expanded brows you see in her young men, it is ea?y to predict that this proud prestige has descended from sires to sons, and that in future generations, as iu the past, whether upon the forum or in the forefront of battle, you will tlnd tbe sons of old Abbeville leading the van. I am indebted to Mr. Hugh Wilson, of the Press and Banner, aud to Gen. K. It. Hemphill, of the Medium, for many courtesies. Abbeville has In her two weekly papers organs of which she can well be proud, and lhat growing city owes largely her prosperity lo their work and efforts. For more than thirty years the Press aud Bauuer and Medium have been rival papers, published In tbe same town, and tbe kindly relations that have ever existed between them Is an example for the press of our State. Their .editors realize the fact that the field is large enough for both journals, and tbe official aud other patronago is.equally and equitably divided, without any attempt on the part of one to supplant the'otber. Tills happy condition is 1ue to the fact that both Messrs. Wilson and Hemphill are South Carolina gentlemen to tbe manner born. It has ever been the proudest boast of my life that I was born in Abbeville county, and [ believe that this feeling is peculiar to every native of that county. While I moved from there when a mere boy, my heart has ever thrilled at the word Abbeville aud the llnsh aain and sorrow that I saw that grand old :ounty dismembered, although her bright (Oung daughter. Greenwood, reflects pride tnd credit upon the sol 1 from which she whs :aken. During my stay at Abbeville I met with the Host unbounded Kindness on every hand, uid was made to feel that indeed were I imong friends and kindred. That there Is a brilliant future ahead for \bbevllle even a blind man should see. It Is n the centre of one of the finest farming secJons of the south, peopled by braluy, pro:resslveand intelligent planters. But a short Uatanceaway flows the Savannah river with ts unrivalled and undeveloped water powers, vhlch at comparative slight expense can be mchalned and brought over clectric wires ?nd used to propel enough spindles and other nachinery to support a population of a quarer of a million souls. I have still many relatives living In AbbeMile, but only met a few. Among the nuin)er was the genial Bob Hill. Bob Is what we sailed him Id the days of ultra Humanism a auk tankerous, dyed-in-the-wool "antl"; but 'ecognlzlug the fact that blood Is thicker ,han politics, Bob said he would risk contamination and so gave me an old-fashioned Abbeville welcome. 1 could write columrvs about old Abbeville md Its big-heurted, hospitable people, did Imeand space permit. I am glad that 1 iave formed another link in the chain that >lnds me to Abbeville by iny youngest son narrylngan Abbeville born aud Abbeville aised girl. And just here let me rise to remark that Abbeville has ever beeu noted for its queenly ijd beautiful ladles, and from the lair and ovely faces that I saw on her streets and In ler homes, can report that her fair daughters if to-day maintain the enviable prestige o heir ancestors.
