iP*. WATCH FOI The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^-Published every Wednendp J2 a year Id advance. Wednesday, April 6, 1904. Forty-Sixth Year. With this Issue of the PreBR and Banner the editor begins his forty-sixth year of labor In the offlce. Of the two hundred voters In town when he entered the offlce, In April, 1859, we can recall only the following names of persons who still Borvlve: Mr. George A. Douglass, Capt. John G. Edwards, Judge R. E. Hill. Mr. J. Frasler Livingston, Hon. W.H.Parker, Dr. W. T. Penney, Mr. L. W. Perrln. Col. J. T. Robertson, Mr. L. H. Russell, Mr. T. C. Seal, iur. illiuu TT . Olgu, Mr. W. Joel Smith, Mr. H. T. Tusten, CapL L. W. White, Mr. George White. Or those who moved away, and still live, we wonld mention Mr. W. C. Moore, who Is now In adistanthome. Col. T. B. Crews, editor of the Laarensvllle Herald, Is another who was a citizen of Abbeville In 1859. He is still In the land of the living, doing good work for himself and his fellowman. Coming home from the war each of these gentlemen set to work to make a living for himself and to gain a competency for old age. In the passing years fickle fortune smiled or frowned in tarn upon each. Some sunshine and some rain fell along the path of each. All are now past sixty, some are past seventy, and Borne are well on toward eighty. 1 i Easter. Last Sunday was Easter. It was a beautiful i day, and nearly everybody was out of doors. Ladies who bad pretty bats went tocburcb, I and there were more pretty women at divine l service on Sunday morning than bad beeD there In many a day. The hats are now more beautiful than ever before and when they oover a pretty iaoe the combination is' unspeakably lovely. They may trim hats with flowers, birds, ' ribbons, rare Jewels, and all other such things ' that dazzle the eye and captivate the heart, bat a pretty face is the prettiest thing that ever adorned a pretty hat. As a dreamer Jacob took the cake In the olden times. Being weary, as you all know, he lay down In the shade of an oak tree, It Is ' supposed of the variety under which careless farmers now store their cotton, and be fell 1 asleep. In his sleep he dreamed that he saw the aDgels ascending and descending that great Imaginary ladder which reached from earth to heaven. These angels were but a dream of beauty and loveliness, while the women who eo to our churches, and pass up and down oar streets, wearies tbe prettiest millinery, are divinities lDdeed. They are substantial realities before whom the world fallBdown arid does homage. We see them Id life, and In health, and In beauty, and Id sweetness, so good and so true, that we almost feel sorry for poor old Jacob who was Imposed upon by a vision which was in fact as delusive aB tbe farmer's dream about the future high price of cotton while bis bales are rotting or taking tbe blue mold under an oak tree. In the afternoon many belles and beaux went driving the nicest horses and tbe nicest, buggies In town. In fact, tbe demand for nice buggies and quick steppers was great. DurlDg tbe afternoon all sorts of people went walking, except those who hired teams. 1 In the driving procession we were remind- I ed of an oocurrenoe which we have told before. In Columbia years ago this editor hired a carriage and horses to take some young ladles T\nii|n(* a Hr! no tpo noDqoH \1 T uwTiug. bug wiitu nw - j Beattleof Greenville, wbo was walking with his lady on the sidewalk. He was rich and able to own and keep carriages and horses every day in the year. We were not able to hire a carriage lor two hours. There was an object lesson la the lnoldent. Oar hired carriage was driven back to the livery stable, where it belonged. We haven't hired a carriage since that time. We are walking now. It may be that you think we are talking more about flowers and pretty women than about the worship ol the Author of our being. < But our Saviour talked of flowers. He loved the flowers for both their beauty and their 3 sweetness. He likened himself to tbe Rose of Sharon and tbe Lily of the Valley. He said that Solomon In his glory was not array- ? ed like the most modest of the flowers. After the crucifixion be was, no doubt, taken to tbe ? most lovely of all tbe gardens to be burled amid tbe flowers where tbe birds In the overhanging branches of the trees sang their sweetest songe. Wherever there is purity, wherever there is sweetness and love, wher- ? ever there Is beauty and devotion, wherever t there Is gloom or sorrow, the flowers are ever ( welcome. At our birth, at our marriage, and ( at our death, the flowers are always approprl- f ate. Without flowers to beauty our homes, to deoorate our churches, or to make more beau- t tlful the landscape tbe Easter would be less ] cheerful, less remindful of tbe occasion of the t most Important festival In the church. 1 i ] In Abbeville Again. Mr. Thomas T. Cromer was in town one day last week, Investing a little more of bis sur- f plus cash in our furniture faotory stock. Tbe J prospect is, that he will become a tower of i strength to one ol our manufacturing enter. 1 prises. He has the money, and, actuated by J the noble Impulse to come to the relief of bis 1 brother, as well as by tbe prospect ol making < a irmail Dile while the cotton market is dull. I Mr. Cromer will make the Abbeville furnl- i ttfro factory fairly June?If you know what I "June" means. If we are not In error our neighbor, from i the town of prohibitionists and blind tigers, the News and Views, is somewhat exercised ' for fear Mr. Cromer may bring all biB pile I this way Instead of Investing It in Graen- 1 wood. < The. Press and Banner would be sorry to take anything from our Bister town, but whatever comes is grist In Abbeville's mill. 1 So Mr- Cromer will find a splendid place to ; Invest a little of the money which he made ofl the .New York gudgeons, who try to get the best of tbe man who grows the cotton. We know that Mr. Cromer's removal to Abbeville would be a severe loss to Greenwood, but then think how much Abbeville would make in tbe deal. Desecration of the Temple. Recently some boys went to one of our drug stores and buught a bottle of offensevely odoriferous medicine and on Sunday poured it over the cushion in one of the pews at the Episcopal Church In this city. It is hard y necessary to characterize this deed and we have no doudt that the young gentlemen are heartily ashamed of such a notorious tresspass. Even if they should feel inclined to treat the act as a Joke the probability or severe puni8nwjeni in case ioe ; , names of tbe perpetrators of the deed should j become known, will prevent their making merry over an act for which they might suffer in both good name and personal lncocven-' ence In compulsory absence on tbe public works. # i T H Jii JATJii A New Iiiinibor Yard. The advertisement of Mr. W. H. Long in-1 forms the public that he iR In the lumber ! business. Abbeville Is growing so fast that there Is no telling: our possibilities. Mechanics of all kinds are pressed every day with work, and new men are being called for. It was only laBt week that Mr. VV. W. White, building superintendant, wsnt to Atlanta lor additional help. Dr. L. T. Hill and Dr. U. A. Neufl'er have fine houses well underway. Mr. L. T. Miller has the frame on the pillars for a nice new dwelling. Capt. L. W. White Is clearing bis lot preparatory lo building an eleeant home. Mr. J. C. Ellis bus just furnished as pretty a house as can ba found In Abbeville. President .1. It. Blake and manager John Lyon are building a now warehouse at the Southern station. Messrs. John aud A. W. Calhoun will occupy one of tbe rooms as a wholesale grocery store. Tbe wholesale grocery business is something new. and tbe amount of the sales wblob the Messrs. Calhoun are making, Is a surprise to us all. Many of our merchants recognize a good thing when they see it, and have fallen into line and are liberal buyers. They buy from the Messrs. Calhoun, not because they love them, but because it Is to their interest. The warehouse is proving alike for tbe farmer and merchant, one of the best institutions In town. The stockholders are waiting for tbe dividends, but who cares for dividends so long as we have no stock. Those of us who have no stock are in position to wait, and can afford to do so. Those who have stock are able to wait, but will be sure to get a dividend?after awhile?In a few years at (nrtherest, when the stock ought to be worth away above par. A good dividend has been going to make needed Improvements or to finish navlne cost of construction. All debts having been paid and the demand for more shares was such that it was deemed wise to add another section to the already large building. The rool would have been on it by this time, but the contractor to furnish the lumber, Dr. S. G. Thomson, bad the misfortune to lose it fu the destruction by tire in a drying kiln. But in a little while the lumber will beou the ground and the building will be only a short time lu its present un finished condition. The people are beginning to see the advantage of a warehouse, and are making more and more use of it as the years some and go. The high price of cotton has been of great benefit to the warehouse as well fis to the farmer. The farmer, If he needs the money, can take his receipts to any of our janks and draw money while his cotton Is being safely kept at a nominal cost. Brick. While Mr. J. L. MoMillan has been makng millions of brick annually, yet he has nore on hand at this time, which could be lad for either love or money. But to supply the demand he has equipped hree different brick yards, and has either set hem In operation or lsaooui reaay xo ao so. )ne yard Is at Darraugbs, on the Southern. Another Is on Long Cane on the Seaboard. The third Is at Mrs. Leslie's, some two miles jorthwestof the city. Mr. McMillan has quite a reputation for naking good brick, and everybody know6 hat bis prices are reasonable. Tbe New Oil Mill. The talk of a new oil mill in Abbeville has iboutdled out, but we notice that the farmers )f Newberry have gone to work and raised i subscription of 89,000 frcm tbe people of iifferent sections who have cotton to gin and leed to sell, it Is contemplated giving the town people an opportunity to invest with ;bem. If the farmers around Abbeville so will It, a new mill can be built at this place, ind one of their number could take active jontrol of It,so that tbe owners and tbe customers would realize every good that there Is in the enterprise. Getting Ripe. Candidates are beginning to ripen, and it 7111 be only a little while until the boyB can begin to "pull 'em." SALE DAY. S?le of Real Etttnte in the Town ol Due Went. Last Monday was Sale Day, and quite a number of good humored ana well behaved people were here. The only official sales that were made were those of the Master under decree in tbe case )f James Edgar Smith against J. Altbeus Johnson, being 18 acres, divided Into tracts, as follows : Tract No. 1. 7-8 of an acre, with double cabIn and well, ?100. James Edgar Smith, plainIB, buyer. Tract No. 2, 6 34 acres, to James Edgar Smith, $200. Tract No. 8, 61-3 acres to Arch D. Kennedy, 100. Tract No. 4,2 1-3 acres to J. C. Trlbble, S200. Tract No. 5, 1 3 4 acres, the homestead, to ramett Edgar Smith S900. This lacked a little of paying the mortgage ind costs, leaving the plaintiff nothing. A Boy Hero. "To him, I am sure I owe it that I im at home, that i am alive and able oackuowledge my debt," wrote James J'Dounell Bennett, war.correspondent )f a New York paper, from the yeilow i ii^., CVCl UUSpiiai, iicui uiuvucj vuua "I shall not soon forget," he couinues, "that little, swartby, smiling [talian, who, despite his nativity, is is good au American as ever lifted his lat to the flag. Frank Matinez is his name, and when he is not busy saving ive9, he plays the cymbals in thejband >f the Thirteenth United States Infau;ry. When the yellow fever broke out at iiboney, an isolation camp was estabisbed some two or three miles back n the woods. Thither we who had ;he fever were taken, and thither went Frank Martinez. Tbere were between fifty and seventy-five of us, and be was jur only nurse. Without him I do not know what we should have done, ind vet he was such a little chap, and tie had never had tbe fever, aud he was playing with his life in coming near us. "He helped us to wash our fevered bodies, he built tbe tires and prepared the condensed milk and buried tbe camp offal and pitched the tents and carried live coals to the smokers and water to the tbirsty. He cheered us up with his merry laugh aud his radiant face, and he fetched aud carried and ran in rain and shine, in darkness and dawn. "He never thought of himself. He would work for hours iu dripping clothes, and when we begged him to strip and wrap up in a blanket, be would say; No, I am too busy. Soon the sun will come, aud it will dry me.' Then he would rush away to build a tire or raise the walls of a tent, so that a breath of clean air could reach us, and we could bear the water chugging in his shoes. "When I was releaseb from the Anwtt-t Ka f krour Kio o n>?c nrnmwl mo Uaiiip) uc tmcn uio unuo aiuuuu uiv/j and tor an instant held me in his grasp. "I could not see him plainly then, for the grateful tears blinded me; but, as the days pass by, I can behold him clearly. He stands there on tbe green hillside, little and swarthy and erect, blue circles of pain and weariness under bis eyes, his face pinched and his hands shaking from loss of sleep. That was my last sight of Frank Martinez. I do not know whether he is living or dead, but I know that if he still lives, he is doing good." OF THE LI&E 3421.

Surgeon General Wyman has renoi"uH tho wnopf. of Snnrpoil Pnrrv. sent to Panama to investigate the sanitary coudition anil needs of the isthmus, from which it is apparent that the United States will be required to spend millions for the sanitary safety of life before it is humane to begin the work of actual construction on me Panama canal. This ia as was expected, and, in view of the success achi :ved by our government in practically freeing Cuba from yellow fever, the ta?k before Surgeon General Perry may not oe such a Herculean one as is feared. Doubtless the purification uf the canal route would be easier had no work ever been done on the great waterway, for the accum- i ulated wreckage of years left by the French constructors has left a veritable hotbed of malignant germs from Colon to tne rocKy oacsuoue ui iue isuumua. The ditch as far as constructed is filled with debris, rank undergrowth, slime and contaminated by the shallow graves ol' thousands of laborers who fell victims to the dread fevers and bowel disorders endemic in that plague spot. The problem of getting the labor least subject to malarial and other tropical diseases is going to be, perliap's, the greatest one connected with the whole undertaking. This was me French experience, but it is true that the French set a much lighter value on human life than will Uncle Ham when once he rolls up his sleeves and prepares to dig. The former canal companies did little really scientific and thorough work to better the sanit?rv fondition of the riirht of wav. They seem to have gone on the inhuman principle that lives were cheaper than sanitation. Already there is talk of employing coolie labor if sanitary conditions are found to be such that Americans cannot work on the isthmus. The natives are said to be of little account as canal laborers and they seem to succumb to disease almost as readily as .North Americans. At any rate, the first thing the United States will have to do is to clean the canal route"lrom A to izard,'' employing the most advanced sanitary methods. This will probably involve a good deal of delay in getting construction started. Even a man with false teeth laments the deception ol women. The sucessful book agent always stops in the front yard to admire the children there.
