The Proposed Railroad from Due
Hem.
A long lime ago, the people of Due West
did not want a railroad, but now progressive
oltizenB of the progresblvettown would like to
have a railroad, and on one or more occasions
effort was made to build a railroad to Donaide,
four mlleB distant, on the Southern Hallway.
We believe the people now want rail*
road connections.
Bellovlng that our friends at Due West are
in earnest and believing that Abbeville
wonld help build the desired road, we would
suggest that represenlatlves.of the road come
to Abbeville and confer not only with our
people, bnt with tbe railroad folk. A road to
Abbeville woo Id give tbe people of Due w en
connection with both tbe Southern and the
Seaboard. If tbe matter was properly pre
sentea to the railroad folk It is possible that
one or both roads would lend a helping hand.
For the Seaboard railway, see L. W. Perrln,
Esq., director; for ibeSouthern Railway, see
Mr. C. D. Brown, the local agent.
The Press and Banner b&8 very little doubt
that the town of Abbeville would gladly vote
a liberal .amount )n bonds. The proposed
. road would run through one of the best and
most thickly settled seotlons of Abbeville
county, and to get a railroad, the people In
the townships along the line would find It to
their advantage to vote bonds. Tbe people ol
Due West ought to vote bonds, too. The enhanced
value of property would pay for the
bonds four-fold over.
If, therefore, the people so will It, the road
oan be built.
The line could be aided by one or both ol
the existing railroads, and they would no
doubt undertake to operate the rolling atook.
The travel and tbe freight between Due West
a hhariiift aririnrl to the large business
of the people along the line would be a vain/
able acquisition to tbe railroad tbat would
undertake to operate It.
Railroad people are In tbe railroad basinets
for tbe purpose of doing business. If tbe
proper inducement in money was offered, tbe
railroad folk would certainly do tbelr part.
Tbe rlgbt way to do Is to oommenoe right.
Let us vole bondB, and the Seaboard or tbe
Southern will probably take tbe bondB, aDd
build and operate tbe Due West road as a
feeder to the main line. No ten-mile spur
from any point ,would pay better than the
line from Abbeville to Dae West. And railroad
folk generally know a good tblng when
they see It.
cTbe people can grade the road. Tbe railroad
ean do the rest. And splendid rallioad service
can be had for tbe least possible cost.
When money for bonds Is properly spent,
tbe Issue of bondB 1b not burdensome, but
la of advantage to tbe people.
Come AK*!n.
Ou last Sunday morning members of tbe
- ' 4 mnaA -!.?/*
Associate neiormeu cvii|ic(anuu noo
to welcome tbelr sanctuary many visitors.
The members enjoyed tbelr presence during
the hour of prayer and praise.
Putlog the prayers and the sermon without
comment except to speak of the coneluding
thought of the sermon. The preacher
referred in appropriate terms to the approaching
season which commemorates the
nativity of oar Saviour and with which
season Is aasoolated so many Joys and pleas-,
ant memories. While we are glvln? gifts to
friends aod relatives we should not neglect
to give oar hearts to Him who first loved as.
No more suitable time could be bad.
l The preacher made no reference whatever
to the practice wblcb prevails In some of the
dark corners of Mexico, where even nominal
Christians make the Christmas season noted
for tbelr debauchery and cruelty to animals.
Mexicans sometimes make It a earnlval oj
vice, Instead of a season of praise and Innocent
pleasure, as do the American Christians.
Sunbeams, Clouds awl Chills.
Mot so long ago a man sought to nay pleasant
things to a pretty girl. She made no sign
of protest for fiar of beailDg the sweetest
story ever told, but when be said that be
loved the light of her countenance by wblcb
be oould see tbe sunbeams play about her
face, a great cloud, without rainbow or ell ver
lining accompaniment, took the place oi
sunbeams. Served bim right. He took a
chili. The little archer and such things aB
overcome us like a summer cloud, bad done
their work.
Free Passes*.
The newspapers speak of the announced
Intention o( the railroads lo issue fewer free
passes in iutura We think the move a good
one. The Issuing of free pastes to one set/ of
people, txcltts tbe tnvy or 111 will of another
set vtbo aie less labored. Tbe ltsuing of free
passes 10 one ?et ol men, and a lack of tact lo
dealing wlib tbe great mass of people in
business matters. Is mpontlble lor tbe outsagtously
unjust \eidlcts against tbe rail*
roads in the damage suits. Great corporations,
like railroads, ncake mistakes when
tbt-y nttdlettly ticlle tbe 111 will ot men wbo
may at no distant be a Juror.
In tbe hour of his deep affliction tbe editor
of tbe Press and ?anner extends sincere s> ropatby
to bis old frltnd Hon. T. B. Crews of
the Laurensvllie Herald. In the deatb of bis
beloved wile, be is lelt lonely Indeed. Tbe
older men of tbe city of Abbeville will re
member tbat Mr. Crews was once associated
In the publication of the Abbeville Banner.
