" w Wednesday. July 10, 1907. t 1'hhor Nnipef b On last Friday morning some of our oitlzens, who possess a goodly amount of sporting blood, got wild over a big fish catcb that ? was to be pulled ofl near Cbappells on tbe Southern road. Tbe large pond below Cbappells was being drained and tbe people of tbe vlolnlty, as It was understood, wltb full oonsent of tbe Railroad had sobeduled a great fish catch and a free dlnuer Jn wblob everybody oonld sbare upon payment of one dollar. Tbls caught something like 800 w nokers, amongst wbom wero politicians of high and low degree newspaper men galore, and as goodly aggregation of iutelllgont, ^ thrifty private citizens as oould well be found. Of tbe number wore: Wyatl Aiken, R. R. Hemphill, L. T. Hill, K. B. Uary, Robt. L. Mabry. M. T. Colemen, Goo. Wlilte, W. W. u Bradley and perbaps olbers whose names are a not now recalled. w Now tbe pond It about midway between 4 Chappells and Old Town, and a dlstanoe of b only about three miles from each place. w T ? ?'-** /lallarht r\f thfl dAlloht.V fluhOf lUitftgiUO IUD UOUfeUV vi K?v men, when with their tickets In their tl pockets they bear tbe conductor say that be jj has positive orders not to atop at the pond, g A walk of three miles In the sun for several a hundred passengers, when a moment's stop would have saved 11 all. This was the limit, 0 and the crowd after exhausting current cuss ? words began to fetch up cuss words that were * rusty for laok of use, Determined not to be u put out, however, each man iu the burning t> sun pat bis throe miles behind him, lured on ^ by the prospect of a "great multitude of Q fishes." Arriving on the scene we found that t< the dltoh had not even been oompleted, and ^ It would take two or three days at best to a drain off tbe pond. No fish. Well we ex- a peeled now to see a cloud burst of abuse, but the limit bad been passed and to our surprise ti tbe crowd, subdued and passive, sat down to l> reflect for the rest of the day ou Its own ? folly. a. All aorta of appeals bad been made to tbe b road authorities to stop tbe train bat to no purpose. It was learned afterwards tbat tbe road offiolala bad sent an engineer to tbe place who reported tbat tbe plaoe could not be drained by Friday and as they knew tbat many people wonld be disappointed tbey J would not be party to any part of tbe affair. f{ . Tbla aounde good enough If tbe official! bad only made publlo tbelr determination before 8 tbe people were cangbt. Tbe determination ? of tbe road worked no hardship on those who _ were advertising the fish, bat the unhappy J> gudgeon who bad his walk, and for nothing, waa tbe sufferer. We have never seen a prettier opportunity for a road to make ^ friends In a legitimate way. It is courtesy in oc mail things tbat tbe people see; they are not to luvereoieu IU uuw it*LOO nuu IOWHWI, ^ E - Southern schedule. Some time ago tbe Press and Banner called w attention to tbe unreasonable delay of some- K thins like an hoar at Hodges, oocasloned by k the trains meeting at Donalds Instead of a Hodges. Touching tbls matter. Superintend- w ent Simpson recently wrote one of our cltl- gc zena that "local Interests at Columbia and at c< Greenville demanded tbat tbe trains run as 1 they do." It Beems tbat If the road has local w la teres Lb here they count for nothing. "What n< ever tbe road's local Interests here are, 'It Is w respectfully submitted that Inconsiderate ed treatment Is not oalcnlated to increase that K Interest. n< Now the people of Abbeville are not vain tb enough to suppose that otber larger plaoes at abould be seriously dlsoommoded for their be sake nor or they unreasonable enougb to ask ei It, but they fall to see why trains might not bo tart fifty minutes earlier from Greenville rl< and meet up-tralns from Colombia at Hodges. tb If tblB la not possible, then tbe train might atart fifty mlnuteB later lrom Columbia and meet at Hodges. . Abbeville Beems to be of ao little importance in tbe estimation |that it la left oat of tbe Southern sobedule published In tbe 01 dally papers. This Is partly tbe fault of our W owd people. Tbe lnoonvenlenoe or complaint ln of an Individual la too Insignificant to catcb be the oorporate ear, and If we are content to bear lnjastlce ln silence, fall opportunity will bJ be given us. ^>< Tbe Business Men's League sbould.take np Wl this matter with tbe railroad and If neoessary bl with the Railroad Commission. If there are al good reasons why Abbeville must take what th la left after other towns are aooommodated, w< then tbe League Is at leaBt entitled to a Btate- i? ment of tbe reasons. w: This town Is and ever has been friendly to tbe 8outhern road. It Is dobbtfui If there can be found twelve miles ol Its track ln the State that pays better, then, are not there aome local demands at Abbeville that should be oonBldered? ?< >.r, K Wake Up. 00 tb Cherokee Falls, Trotter Shoals, Portman bt and several other splendid water powers have reoently been brought under one man- gc agement and capitalized at 88,500,000.

If fathers, rotbers and busbanda take proper care ol betr women tbey will likely bave no occalon to kill anybody, bnt when tbey let their romen wander off, they should not be exaged for killing anybody, and will not be excised, except by perjured Jurors. The man who commits murder for tbe rrongdolug of a woman carries a greater 'eight of sorrow than If be had let the pares go unraolested. He Is tbe real sufferer, he exposure of tbe woma/i Is punishment uoueb for her to carry to the end of a miser ble existence.

The phenomenal success of this impany Is an evidence of the faith which ie public has In its safe, conservative and isinesslike management. For many years subsequent to the war, the >uth Impoverished herself by sending milinB of dollars annually to the old Northern suranoe oompanles.

Tbe Crusaders feel that they, themselves, were much blessed as tbe Spirit of (Jod was poured out at different times, during this seaion of refreshing.
