II " .' !r - "T- ' - ' ' The Press and Banner Bt W. W. and W, E, Bradley. HUGH WILSON, Editor. * ?T>Tr?vTT.T.m. m. a. IB A#-Pnbllshed every Wednesdp at 82 n S year In advance. } Wednesday, Sept. 12, 1906 Abbeville and Edgrfleld by TrOlley. I As trolley lines are being constructed In al' parts of tbe State bringing Country and town In closer relationship commercially and socially, Is It not about time for Abbeville to couple itself up wilb some of Its remote sections.' For years some kind ot railway bas been contemplated from Edgefield to Abbeville. These counties which touch each other art Id point of time, farther apart than Abbeville and Washington City. No one but a graduate Id geography can tell bow to reach Edgefield .by rail from Abbeville without the aid of two modern mapB. The intervening section between Abbeville and Edgefield 1b peopled by thrlfly larmers, and the exception of the C. & W. C Rail waj crossing the aectlon about midway between ibe points, It is without railway accommodations. A trol.'ey line going south from Abbeville, passing through the thrifty Bellevlew Pectlon and to McCormlcfe, woulc farther develop one of the best sections oi _ of this County and would be beniflclal alike to the people along the line and to Abbeville. McCormlck Is one of the most thriving towns in the np Country. Her people are friendly lo the old uouoiy, ana Qououem >> la tbelr desire to remain as part of tbe County, bat tbey may reasonably be pardoned fo> not wishing to go to tbe otber aide of tb? earth in order to reaoh tbeir county seat. Let ua ooaple tbe sections together and extend tbe line on to Edgefield. There is perhaps not a section of country In the State where persona living along tbe route are better able to aid In the work by subscription and taxation. Then too this would let aome light Into the back door of Tillman'* . land. r.,.. "' * 1 The Anderson Intelligencer. All the preaa of the State seem now to be throwing banquets at that good paper, the Anderson Intelligencer. That best of men, [ Mr. C. C. Langs ton, some time ago sold bit Interest In that paper to Mr. V. B. Cheshire, and he with the veteran J. F. CUnkacales, * who has so long been at th e head of tbe paper, have rattled tbelr bonea about tbe office and I transformed tbe paper ao that It does not look like ltaelf. Tbe owners have always V been good men, and the paper has been at tbe fi r' top of tbe list. Tbe paper Is now an elgbl ' oaee paper. Mr. Langston.tbe retliingown Ier was lor many years tbe efficient and popular Secretary of tbe State Press Association. All the press are sorry that Mr. LangstoD quits. He would not have been excused ai ' all If be had not given place to so good a man a Mr. Cheshire. To all we extend wishes lor , tbeir good health and good spirits, tbe best v things thle side the River. riSr " ** Its Beat Advertisement. ETbe Industrial Edition of tbe Spartanburg Journal comes up to tbe best requirement* along all tbe lines. It would be a credit to any printing offloe, and it Is tbe best advertisement that could be bad of the progressive i olty, surrounded by tbe actlvtles of a busj . ' manufacturing centre. Tbe record of Spartanburg's success should be an inspiration to [ tbe people of otber towns. If-.V. The Donalds Progress. Tbat is tbe title of a new paper published E at Donalds by Editor Harold C. Booker. The B paper is filled wltb original matter of a varied ( ' / and Interesting character, and la in everj way an exoellent publication. It deservet and no doubt will receive'from tbe peoplt substantial aid and moral encouragement. Good look to tbe Donalds Progress. Newspaper Offlee Destroyed. Some two weeks ago the printing office o< tbe Honea Path Gbronlole was destroyed b) Are. Tbe plant was a total loss, wltb no In < suracce. But Editor Moore is plucky. H<> brought out the Chronicle on the next publication day, and will, if possible, exert mort energy In v?*hjng tbe business ao tbat hi may recover from tbe serious loss. Tbt Cbronlole was prospering, and tbe Job department was doing so well tbat Mr Moon had ordered a new job press. It bad arrived at the depot, and he wished to have It moved | to tbe office on tbe afternoon before tbe fire ! Hki. hnoTi on/1 nn1A ./.( mnnn I It that afternoon, but promlsbed to pat it Id 1 the office next day. And thus it was Mr. 1 Moore saved bla new press. The best wishes of tbe Press and Banner go oat to Mr. 1 Moore. < Pay The Mayor. Mr. J. L. McMillan has been one of the ' moat acceptable mayors tbat Abbeville bat ever bad. He declined to run for re election | and tbe honors bave ugaln been tbrust upoD 1 ' blm, ! The duties of this position are macb more P taxing than In former days, and If they are properly performed, necessarily take up the greater part of a man's time. 1 Mr. McMillan's services are richly worth a thousand dollars a year bnt let as drive 8 good bargain with blm and give him six h undred dollars.

Tbe hotel Is no longer tbe Glenn-Ethel, It baa been rechristened, and Is to be hereafter known tithe "Taggart Bouse."
