C. lu at ~ st ^ Published every Wednesdp at. 82 a &< year Id advanoe. b( at Wednesday, June 28, 1905. m ? of What About u New Cotton Mill ? 81 vl We want to burn it Into your noggin tbat Abbeville needs another cotton mill, and m tbat need oan be supplied by a united t effort, where all will lend a helping hand. w . The 8800,000 mill which we now have was started on a small capital. When about ^ $30,000 was subscribed tbe directors let the contract for a 842,000 mill bouse. When the house was finished the directors gave their Individual note to tbe builder for 814,500. By 111 continuous effort tbe mill was built, tbe people of Abbeville first and last put in about J 890.0X1. Owing to unfortunate condition tbe mill did not pay for the first several years, but under Mr. Harris's management for the last two CI yearn loe mill nag oeen a ptienomlnal sue- u 0688. As we understand, the mill 1b now out a of debt, and a dividend will be paid on all the stock on tbe first of July. d. But whether the mill pays a dividend or h not 1? of but little oonoern to the people of g) Abbeville. Our people have sold their stock, u but the mill Is bere.and It pays out to our b people annually about $100,000 In salaries or a wages. Out of the sixty original stockholders In Ab- a bevllle perhaps fifty bav? disposed of tbeir a stock. Tbe loss per sbare was about ten to T twenty dollars, and there Is not one of the Q number who regretB Die Investment or tbe loss. 1( Don't forget that you are not expected to n keep your stock In a new mill. If you prefer b to sell It. This editor takes Btock In any- t] thing, and If not convenient to hold It we u don't mind losslng ten or twenty per cent, on d a reasonable amount. To get a new mill In town we would be willing to give a reasonable amount without any stock _ at all, but by subscribing a larger amount and selling at a discount much more ? help Is given. But, with careful management under a normal condition of tbe market, loss Is nexi , to Impossible. With the present; good mauagement the Abbevelle Cotton Mill 1b mak- y lng stacks of money, and, as far as we know, u all the well managed mills are making good a dividends. We do not go into these enterprises to make J dividends. We don't care whether they pay dividends or not. We want the mill that will give, people employment and who will spend their money for goods 0r property. If Abbeville so wills it, this town can get a big mill by subscribing for {50,000 of * the stock. The mill will pay big salaries to ? several officers and hundreds of mill people S will get good jobs. Alter we have paid the 550,000 we can sell the stock for its market " value, and after realizing on the stock we ? have secured the mill and are out very little 3 money. n A united effort and a pull all together will o get the mil). There never was a better time for makln* ii the effort than now. Ttie machinery people a will take stock. a One of the best things about a cotton mill i? the laot that the president is tbe best palo P man on earth. And, If he uses tbe least dill- 0 genoe it lasts*forever. It 1b strange that no- d body wants tbe good Job. 0 c d Beady to Cat the Pigeon Wing:. Mr. John Wilkinson is old In years, but Is >oung|ln heart. For a long time be bad 8 bad step to blB barn and be bad often promised to fix It. But good promises are like pie crust?to be broken. Finally, that old step to the barn came down abont six weeks ago with Mr. Wilkin- d son standing like his acts?erect. When tbe d steps and Mr. Wilkinson bad been separated on the ground, the steps in one pile and Mr. v Wilkinson In another, it was discovered tbat 1 Mr. Wilkinson's knee eap was badly In need v> rapture. jui8 good wife and bis faithful { son picked up tbe old gentleman and put r V him Id bed, where be suffered greatly for a t time. When they wanted to turn blm over S In tbe bed they used a modern pattern of a derrick. After awhile be got well enough to ^ walk on crutches. When last heard from be [ bad tbrown away bis crutches and now be I walk* with a stick. In about a week be will | be ready to cut tbe pigeon wing with tbe gay- i est of tbe youngsters of this day and time. e Mr Wilkinson seems to have a charmed ? life.. He went to Mexico with a Military | Company of one hundred men In 1846. 01 a that hundred men only about thirty return- | ed. They were either killed In battle or e suocumbed to tbe dangers of the camp. Of e tbe lucky thirty men who got back from K Mexico In 1848, only Mr. Wilkinson and J.J. t: Martin of Atlanta survive. 11 Mr. Wilkinson Is now nearly eighty years ? ofag#, bale and well In body and mind, ex- v cept when be comes In contract with old ? rickety steps. MalBrla, itarvatlon, storms of w oKA* txvsA -uv*. auu iuui nuui iutxicHo neaaquarterfc b oould Dot barm him. His evil genius seems 8 to lurk In barn steps. Except for barn steps ,n be might live on forever. 8 ? . Inconalment. ? Borne of oar respected brethren of the press ti seem to be greatly exercised for fear that pol ? itics may get Into the cotton association, or, r In other words, tbey seem to fear that some a one may be elected to office who In favorable to the plans proposed by the cotton men. g In Georgia fear has been expressed that fc Harvle Jordan may become a oandidate for jj governor of that State. In South Carolina a ex-Senator McLaurin'B ability in pleading t the cause of cotton has drawn the Are of some J; of the brethren. They think his speech on t the dispensary was an Indication that he has n an eye for office. The liquor question is dii>. 1 turbing the minds of some people, and we think tbey are looking out for politicians to farther or to avert their patriotic desire on the liquor question. It seems srrange that the same politicians 0 aeem so anxious to choke off thn lea/lam in w the effort to advance the agricultural interests " and would flght those who would promote a tbegeneral prosperltyof the people. 11 We would suggest that the promoters of 11 temperance and tbe encouragement of Indue- ^ trial prosperity should put active and influential politicians In office. How can a people accomplish anything without a leader? The people need able officials who will be faithful to th? best and most earnest wishes of the le people. a ^ 1 r: Beautifying jHIa Howe. a Mr. Thos. H. Maxwell and his happy wife fr have been beautifying their nice little home on Washington street. New palings around u the lot, fresh paint on* the bouse, blooming flowers and living green in the yard, trailing tt vines, leafy bower, give refreshing shade Where delightful odors greet the senses And every breeze that kisses tbe trees u] Bears Incense up to heaven. . tt Bat best of a'l, there are loving hearts un- pi der the roof-tree, and an uncrowned king is gt to be foundiln the borne which has such an "air of beauty, prosperity and happiness.

At Cards. Periodically opposition to card piny lug eaks out like measles In many communi- s ;s, and without rhyme or reason whist and I ber games ol cards by young people is de- < >unced as the greatest of all evils. < IK course the vulgar minded and tbe rigid < gbteousand the unco gude may see barm almost anytblbg that tbey know nothing 1 >out, and their expressions of opinion lould be taken for what tbey are worth and ! >more. More of an Insight Into their own 1 ;arts or a lair estimate of their actions I id doings might prove that such critics are ' ) better than others. i We are all prone to And fault and too many i us are too ready to magnify the errors or nsof.our neighbors without regard to|their rtues. 1 Tf If la mrnno m nlor tchlat and If church embers should Dot play tbe game, wbat >out base ball ? If It 1b wrong to dance, bat about hot suppers, wbere people are reed to pay an exorbitant price for goods bleb they do not want and do not need ? II it 1b wrong to charge too much for goods t a church festival, what shall we say of the lerchant who cheats? Our own opinion Is, that it 1h belter to lift p people tban to magnify tbe slightest of lelr foibles into the greatest t-ins. To tbe ure all things are pure but to tbe vulgar all lings are vulgar. Are the young people are to have all tbe life ushed out of them ? Are we to expect tbem > be sad and gloomy in this world of sunshine nd happiness? When a vulgarian sees great barm in anclng, we aredecldedly of tbe opinion that e at least should not dpnee and polite society iould avoid him. Tbe fact is, if a man sees X) much wickedness In an occasional dance, e may furnish a suggestion that good wolen should not associate wltb blm. YouDg people need amusement and assocltion wltb each other, if danciDg and cards re wrung. men QU^^COL DUUIGIUUJ( UU.I?I. be young are pure in heart but they are Joy* us Id spirit. A learned divine was once asked his opln)n about dancing. He replied that he did ot preach against dancing, but if the mem* ere of his congregation took to danciDg he aen sought to inspire thetn with more spiritality. When they had more spirituality the anclng took care of itself. But we need not talk to fault-tinders. They ever did and never will see good in any* ody except a few of their idols. Like tbe arbage wagon, fault-finders pick up only 1th, and then they sometimes unload It in be presence of an unoffending public. To recur to the church member. We soraeImes set statements that it is wrong for a hurch member to do so and so. If It is rrong for the church member to do a partlo lar act, is it not wrong (or otberB to doit? ire church members a cIbbs that are dl?tlnct? y better than others, and for whom different tandards are required ? A SlrouK Book. In "The English Bible: A Survey of its Ixternal History," recently published by tev. P. B. Wells, of this city, the author ha* iven a comprehensive and scholarly manner be history of the translations of tbe Bible rom the earliest times to tbe present. Tbe ources for tbe recovery of tbe original text of crlpture are treated at some length, and a nil survey taken of tbe leading Manuscrspts f the Old and New Testaments. In tbe section on tbe Versions of tbe Bible 3 English, both tbe Catholic and tbe Protest nt English Bible are ably treated at length nd in our Judgment, with absolute fairness. Altogether, thlx is the clearest, most comrehenslve and most scholarly presentation f this subject that we have seen. Those who esire a thorough knowledge of tbe history if their Bible will find It to their interest to arefuily examine this volume as it bears ev|. lenceof years of most critical research. Tbe subject is treated under five heads:? Part I. The New Testament. Part II. Tbe Old Testament. Part III. The Latin Vulgate. u~- 1\T Tha rolhnlln Rnollth Rlhla PartV. The ProteslaDt English Bible. The volume Is enriched with over two huDred footnotes, a fall bibliography and appenllx, and diagrams and tabular statements. We are Dot surprised to know that this fork is meeting with a most favorable receplon. In the last Issue of the Southern 'CbristlaD Advocate we find the following appreciative eview from the pen of that eminent educa or. Dr. Jas. H. Carlisle, of Wofford College, liartanburg, S. C. "When you take up the Bible to read your tally portion, before opening tbe book, supiose you ask a few questions like these : low has this wonderful volume come to me ? fot a page of it was first written in the laouage which I read. Through what different versions and translations, has it reached me ? low old is the earliest known cony now In xistence ? There may be some earnest readrs, who use their Testament with reverent are, and are built up in Christian belief and Iving by the sacred pages, who have never aked any questions like these. When a real deal was written twenty-five years ago bout 'he "Revised Version," a dear old wo an in Scotland said, 'If our oommon Enlls-h Bible was good enough for St. Paul, it Is ood enough for me." The spade is bringing to light wonderful reasures Id tbe Eastern lands. Valuable aanuscrlptB have been unrolled, which tell f events that happened far back Id earlier Imes.

A ?Mi MIUJelf! How rapidly would exact copies of this aanuscrlpt be multiplied and scattered over be read|Dg world. It 1b not probable that a urprlse like this is in store for ibe literary rorld. There may not be In existence, on the artb, or under the earth, an autograph page f either Testament. But the history of the ilble In Its copies, versions, and translations, s full of Interest and profit. The volume beare us will open a new and wide field to the euders. It may be suited rather for frequent eference than for continuous readlDg. Tbe utbor 6ays he "makes no claim to orlglnally ; he has merely tried to place In condenBed arm tbe results of the research of many cholarsfrom many lands." We think he ias been successful. He has evidently bad ccess to some of the largest libraries In our ountry. and has made good u?e or the valuble books before him. Tbe time and bought given to this work, by the busy paeor, must have been profitable to blm, and we iope many appreciative readers will use the lelpshe offers them. These readers may oore surely "know tbe certainty of those hlnxs, wherein they have been Instructed." Peculiar Prople.

Pounced Down on Farnum. Messrs. J. Fraser Lyon and Nells CbrlPtln- ^ son, aonsiituttng theactlve sub committee of 8,0 :he Dispensary Investigation Committee, "ir iropped suddenly on Mr. J. S. Farnum. a beer ^av llspenser and brewery agent of Charleston 1 jne day last week. QU( Under the provisions of the Act authorizing m'i the Investigation, they demanded his file* of aoc letters touching bis business witb tbe state we Dlspenary. Mr. Farnum promptly declined Qa( to turn over his letter flies until he had re- ^ moved those that were of "a private Dature." 'ac This being tbe kind of letters that the com- 11 mlttee had a fondness for they could uot come dls to an agreement with Mr. Farnum. ttl? Judge Pope was appealed t'i to mandamus { the refractory dispenser and compel him to to 1 turn over his correspondence, and a tempo- C01 rary order was secured. Presuming that the letters have remained ^ k.i In Mr. Farnum's hands pending the hearing before Judge Pope, It is fair to presume that Slt they will all be innocent enough by the time ele they are scooped by tbe Judge's order. Mr. Lyon showed special anxiety to see a &u' letter written on Board of Control letter head beginning "Dear Jim," but as this was of a br' "private nature" be was not permitted to see 00 It. co? It is said that Commission Tatum recently ,hl received a car load of beer from Mr. Farnum ap_ which upou analysis proved to be worth ' about 8210 per barrel less than the grade thl bought and the label indicated. Mr. Farnum bo1 claims that It was a mistake In the labeling. 'lt)l rt.ehlnnlnir from Sivtnniih RranlMl ^ that it was. Mr. Tatum Is to be commended rai for hie untiring efforts in delecting and right- cn ing such mistakes. acl The sub-committee and the commissioner alike deserve the thanks of the temperance Hh; people of the State for their vigorous eflorts or to detect and correct errors ana abuses in the wt dispensary. io1 I ag Not Appreciated. tl" spi The Prebhyterian printed last week twenty . <-ohimns of matter about the chsioir ol Er^klne and the Dun West Female College, to If any connected with these institutions up- pe predated this work they have been too modest to 6peak about it.?Associate Reformed po Presbyterian.

To live in expectation of it praise or the exp-esslon of appreciation by ' readers of I he paper is a mistake. A tnau fer deserves no praise for the simple discharge ol in his duty, and if the Presbpterian thought 11 pu his duty to publish "twenty columns" thai was all right. But if he published "twenty hi columns" to the disadvantage of his reader-*, fei with any idea of being rewarded by praise th from anybody else then his labor was from a be wrong standpoint.

Some of the brethren of the press are distressed because they fear that the best people ^ of Europe may not come as immigrants to this country. They talk much about "labor ers,""good labor," etc. What we want in m this country Is men. Those ol our fellow clt- b? Izens who expect Scotch, EDgllsb, GermaD, If French or other gentlemen to come here to b black our shoes, to live in log cabins and to w cultivate our fields at 88 a month will likely p, be disappointed. Those who expect to find whole colonies made up of Sunday school scholars are dreaming dreams. As a rule, immigrants are poor young peo tl( Die. nossesslne eood health, a willingness to '? work and tbe ambition to make something C< of themselves. A hundred years ago our fore, pi fathers came here, and they were a fairly to good lot. Tbe Immigrants that are now beadiog this way come from the same classes and the same walks In life as did our forefathers. Tbe best people now living Id Abbeville 1 county descended from Immigrants, and we br have no doubt that the Immigrants of today er arejust as good as were our grandfathers, the 0E Immigrants of a hundred years ago. Hl On general principles, we are willing to welcome even a very shabby gentlemau from any foreign shore. lew Depot. 1 Cc It will be gratifying news to our people to jD be Informed that the Southern Railway Is an about to build a haDdsome new passenger 08 and freight depot at Abbeville. Except for V| the efforts of tbe local agent Mr. C. D. Brown- m we believe no one In Abbeville has been in- ^ strumental in brio glng about this desirable f0 result. Tbe new depot for us comes entirely J ou tbe motion of the Southern people aud therefore It will be tho more appreciated. Di Tbe old depot that was built more than fifty 1 years ego still does service, but our people ^ will be proud to see the old structure give j place to a new and more modern establish- tb ment, Mr. Brown has already received the blue co print of the new depot, and It is thought that the work of tearing down the old building will begin as soon as the material arrives lor the new depot. 20 Many thanks to the Southern and to their ofefficient and obliging agent, Mr. C. D. Brown, ag wl bu China's Boycott China Is about to boycott American cotton (_^ and American manufactures of all sorts. ' This act ou the part of the heathen Chinee commands our respect. If China will refuse V] to buy our goods, and will kick our missionarles Into the sea, and then shut all her doors yl against the United States until the Chinese j in this country are tmited with proper lei respect, China will deserve better respect from us. j A Chinese gentleman dare not set bis foot Mi on this soil without being subject to lndlgnity, and the lower olass of laborers cannot 8p come at all.

Ve do not believe that any prohibitionist ieves ttiat he can he elected to any ite office without the votes of the liquor ment. The combination ?f saloon men i prohibitionists Is something unusual, t we believe mat prohibitionists want oN e. atd that the liquor element want to eak up Ihe dispensary, and so tbey would wll Hug to give anybody ofllce that they ilrt use for their purpose. That Is the way 3 unnatnral and unprecedented alliance pears to us. Lny claim that the saloon ekment and ) office seeking protlbltlonlsts are any iter than any body else, Is ridiculously surd and beneath rontemnt.

A man accompanied by bis wife should not drag her into the crowd that hangs around the office, as twothirds of them do. He should first take her to the parlors, leave her there and go to the office alone. When he has registered and been assigned a room, he should go and get her. When the boy has shown them the room, the guest should not hesitate to say so if he does not like it There are doubtless others empty, and it is the elerk's place to try to .please. 'Another great blunder is not to ask the price of the room before looking at It Many a man feels reluctant to do this, but it Is purely business. If the price does not suit, he can kick, but there is no use complaining'after the bill Is sent In and saying that he has been overcharged, that he has been there before and always had a lower rate and all the many things that a man is apt to think about when he la ready to leave. When a woman is alone, she should not go to the office. All that Is necessary is to take a seat in the parlor and send her card to the clerk, stating whether she wants a bathroom or not and exactly the kind of accommodations she wants. She should frankly say if she wishes, a quiet, room, a small room, an inexpensive room or any preference she may have. Despite all the printed warnings on hotel walls it is almost impossible to get women to send their valuables to thp safe. Whv? It is a mvstery. But the owners prefer, as a rale, to take the chances. Then, if a loss occurs, they blame not their own carelessness, but the hotel management. Another thing: Trunks should be kept locked. Every hotel tries to get honest help. No hotel can guarantee that all Its employees are or always will be proof against temptation. Every hotel asks Its patrons not to tempt them. Hon to Make Cocoa Cordial. One-half teaspoonful of Dutch cocoa, Bome boiling water, two blocks of loaf sugar and two tablespoonfuls of port wine. Put the cocoa and sugar Into a china cup and pour directly upon them some boiling water and add the wine, making in all the usual amount called a cupful. Serve at once.

When stinging and red through crying, they should be bathed in rosewater or wet a handkerchief with rosewater and lay it over them for a few minutes. If they are bloodshot, yott need more sleep or have been sitting In a draft. If they have a burning sensation, bathe them with hot water to which a dash of witch hazel has been added.
