Tbe Persecution of Woodward. The Atlanta papers are striving to show which can manifest the greatest amount of virtuous Indignation at tbe fact that Mayor Woodward may have taken too much intoxicant at a recent meeting of city mayors in the city of Toledo, Ohio. It would appear V?. Uarnr WfiMmarrt's nftv?ndln2 rested I fcUBb ??JW4 M vv??i? w.?. w oblefly Id offering some alleged disrespect to the Mayor of Chicago. If the alleged disrespect had been offered to any other than the Mayor ;of Ch'.cago, It would seem tbst all znlght have been forgiven. The unmerciful assaults by tbe city papers upon Mayor Woodward excites our sympa* thy for tbe man wbom these dallies would destroy. Tbe little parrots In the country printing offices, as proveD by the extracts copied Into the .dallies, lead us to believe that the Georgia parrots have very Jlttle brains and very Utile courage to express an opinion different from that which had been Inspired by their file leader, or their master, as tbe case may be. It was very weak, even If It waB not *naughty, In Mayor Woodward to get drunk and offer IdbuU to tbe Mayor ol Chicago. The Mayor of tbe Windy City should havej been approached by the Mayor of Atlanta "on all fouiB," and when duly sober. We hare no sympathy with unprlnolpled and heartless assaults by anybody upon tbe character of anybody else. These same assailants, as a rule, are very discreet as to wbose character they would assassinate and tbe little parrots who repeat such assaults, deserve very little respect from good people anywhere. We never did bave much respect for a parrot, and we bave no respect at all for tbe act of assailing character. Character Is the most sacred of all things on earth, and be wbo would destroy It Is a vandal indeed. If the editors of tbe Journal and the Constl tutlOD were to run for Mayor ol Atlanta against Mayor Woodward, wouldn't you vote for Woodward? A man with a good heart, tbe highest principles and the noblest Impulses, may bave a weakness for liquor, and he may fail. Tbe man who would kick a fallen brother lfr lacking In manliness and subjects himself to ugly charges. It Is the whole-souled, warm hearted man who develops a weakness for liquor, while be whose heart Is as dry as summer dust Is comparatively free from temptation, and being free from temptation he Reldom gets drunk. The man In kicking a fallen brother does not manifest the highest and the truest type of a noble manhood. Woodward, though drunk, may have a better heart than sober, cold-hearted, unprincipled assailants. R."', i Ha a the Town Attained Its Growth? Mr. Ylsanska having Invested so largely In the cotton mill and having put so muoh money in our new hotel, feels that he must rest a while, and does not now find it convenient or wise for him to take the lead Id anything else. No one else having appeared willing to take the Initiative In any other effort to advanoe the Interests of the town, 11 may be lafely Imagined that the town Is fin iabed, for the present,at least. Bat we have now the opportunity of a life time In getting the Presbyterian College. In little while all .the colleges will bave found permanent resting places, and then the hope of college for this town will be gone? along that line, at least. The hlBtory of the recent past would-prove that no enterprise pays In material advantages as well as a college. But our people aeem to be asleep to their be> t interests, and, aa far as we are Informed, no attempt at effort has been made to secure the prize which might now be had. If we had a college at our doors much greater advantages for an education would be ofltored to our youtig men. If 150 students spent from 8200 to S300 each, the town would receive a great advantage. If a dozen educated Christian teachers were to make their homes here, wbo would dare limit theft Influence for good amongst us? If an endowment fund ofi50,000 was put In circulation at Abbeville, who Is It among you that would not be benefitted ? Aa a school or a college benefits every citizen, and as the financial benefits are distributed, the best way to get the college Is by the Issue of bonds by the town. The presence of the oollege, with Its teachers, Its Btudents and lti endowment would be worth to the the city, say 9250,000. Then to secure that Increase of materlul things, to say nothing ol the spiritual and educational advantages, 860,000 would be a cheap price to pay for It. COTTON BROADCAST' . Experience of 3fr, 8. M. Fleming at Baiting the ' SiAple In a \ew Way. Mr. 8. M. Fleming, whose farm is on Norrls Creek three miles soutb of tbe city was la town laat sale day, and we having heard that he had been sowing cotton broadcast, we asked bim about Ills method. He said: "I first pat stable manure on tbe land at tbe rate ol about five two horse loads to the acre. Then I broke It with a two horse ptow. and then sowed tbe seed at a rate or two bushels to the acre, but that was too much, and more than I would sow again. Tbe next work was with a cut-away harrow to cover the seed. Alter tbe cotton began to come up, I run my weeder over It, which killed the grass and tblaned the cotton, repeated this work with tbe weeder twice a week until tbe cotton was too big. "The stalks average about five to tbe * quart yard, and tbe average bolls is about twenty to tbe stalk?or about one hundred bolls to tbe square. Tbe cotton has never stopped growing. It has shed no bolls. The bolls are as good and aB heavy as In tbe adjoining crop which was cultivated In tbe usual way. Borne ot my frlendB, who have seen the crop, say that the sowed land is producing better results than the cultivated land. "1 wouldn't advise anybody to sow bis whole croD. bot 1 would advlbe all to try a small patch. It wouldn't do to take all the work from cotton choppers. The cotton picker Is coming, and then we will all be happy." v Mr. Lewis Rsmey Lowes by Fire. Last Sunday night tbe barn of Mr. Lewis Barney.was struck by lightning and the barn was completely destroyed. Two cows were burned with tbe barn. It is not known whether the cows were struck by lightning or burned alive. Two buggies we;e also burned. TherV was no insurance. I>r. S. A. Wldemun. Dr. 8. A.

Wilson entertarned a number of friends at a delightful dining at her pretty home, Olendale. Several progressive farmers on Route No. 3. were in tbe City last week selling tbelr first ootton of this season, all of tbem getting over Doenis per pound. Tbe cotton fields are white and but few bands are ploklng wbioh is in striking contrast with former years. The estimate of the cotton on Route No. 3. by its best farmers, Is about two thirds of a orup JUUK1UK UUUJ vuuuwn* Much of tbe corn crop Is a failure ezospt as tops for roughness. Fodder on uplands has been palled and saved <n very good condition. Tbe first sowing of turnips was a failure, being killed by tbe hot weather. Tbe second sowing 16 now being put In. ' Mr. Edwin Parker Is now putting up a cotton gin and hopes to be ready for the bulk of of this season's crops. Gilliam Bros, gin is already running on full time and Wilson Bros, of Gralnrldge will turn t heir wheels a little later on, so we have the advantage of glnnerrles on Route No. 3. "Competition is the life of trade" Is an old and true adage. Miss Nelle Watson who has been teaching muBlc in the Antrevllle seotlon has fulfilled her engagement and Is now at home. Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Wilson of Watts spent last Friday with their brother, Mr. John A. Wilson and family. A splendid rain fell last Friday night all along Route No. 3. and was accompanied by a fierce electrical storm, which tapped tbe telephone wire just beyond Mr. Walter Wilson's 1 at the 8 mile rock, making splinters of 4 poles and splintering two others from top to bottom. leaving tbe wire and Insulators stranded on tbe ground. Our readers will remember the lightning struck and tore up four . or five poles la?t year Just about the same distance this side of Mr. Wilson's home. Thus it would seem that this Is a favorite localloo for the vindication of its fury. Rev. Boulware carried on several days meeting at Sharon last week. Mlst-es Sudle and Lizzie Richie with their oousln. Miss Sadie Richie spent several days of tbe past weefc with their friends the Misses McKenzle of Sharon section. On last Sunday night tbe barn of Mr. Lewis Ramey of Lebanon was struck by lightning and was totally destroyed with a large lot of | new lodderaud two fine cows ?nd two bug gles.

The many friendB of Mr. and Mrs. Norman < Cason are anxious as to her critical Illness and hope that she may soon be restored to ' health. IN AND ABOUND THE CITY. 1 On last Friday night this olty was visited by a magnificently grand, yet terrlfio, elec- , trlcal storm accompanied by a fine rain. The heavens and earth seemed literally sur- I charged with electrlolty, as the llgbtnlog ( flashed continuously, while tbe thunder , crashed through the clouds with deafening peals, both together were enough to frighten i the wits out of nDy one and more especially < those ol a nervous disposition. The dwelling , of Mr. Horace McAllister on Upper Main street was struck by lightning going in I through the phone and tearing off plastering, < breaking a mirror and out throueh the cell- ] Ing and roof setting the latter on fire, causing ! the Are alarm to be sounded, to which the Are company responded promptly, but we be- ] ileve the lire was extinguished by the rain r about I be time they arrived. Mr. and Mrs. McAllister, were we believe, i both shocked by the terrible electrical cur- j rant, but are since all right and have the con- > gratulations of their friends upon their uar 1 row escape. The dwelling of Mr. Cbeves Haskell Just beyond and on the same street fe:t j very sensibly the shock and was filled with electricity ana melting me quicKmver on 1 several mirrors. ( Mr. Berneau was Id the olty a day or two or last week and met with a bearty welcome from bis old friends. < Mr. and Mrs.. T. J. Byfan of Gainesville 1 came In last week and spent several days wltb tbelr brother, Mr. (i. W. Byfan. .

Abbeville merchants are going and return* Ing from Northern markets and some ot tbem are already opening up tbelr Fall and g Winter goods. Watch the city papers and you can readily ' tell who are the wide awake merchants as they show tbe people through ibelr -'ads" j what they have tor sale there and special bargains. 1 A man trying to do business in this 20th s century without printers ink certainly ha* a monstrous undertaking before him, wltb but a faint shadow of success. Dip In the Ink and try for better luck. The Wilson Henry Company have moved into the store on the Upper Corner of Main street vacated by C. W. Kendall. This Is com- j paratlvely speaking a new firm composed of , txrlrla flwudfl vnnntr man. who yiUftiton, TV- ? ? , Dave already built up a flue business which # we hope will largely increase as the years go by but to do this tbey will have to beat the record of all who have done business la the store-room in which they have recently moved but with courageous hearts and a twentieth century move they can easily do thin, at least, we believe they can. Mr. Jenner Link is now opening up a brand c new stock of general merchandise at the old E and popular stand of A. M. Hill & Sons about 8 the ctnter of Main street. Don't forget this < new firm out give him a call when in the city and remember that every young man com- c meuclne business needs your help and a word t of encouragement. Mrs. Henry Hill after a delightful stay with friends xnd relatives in Baltimore returned last week.
