Ag1 t'HbllP'ied every WVdnewlay ytjir ;a advuiioe. ?1 52 a Wednesday, March 4. 19C8 | I'rojjM'NH of o?ir City. Abbeville U betng dev?-l jped j jst now fas ter iu proportion to Its size than any other town iu ibe upper part of South Carolina. This growth Is not Intermittent but has bt-en continuing for several years sieadlly. After much labor and much talk we have been able to teir down the old tobacco barn and build In Its stead a building that will be an ornament Instead of a disgrace to the City. Our merchants are keeping pace with the City's growth and are putting in ornamental and serviceable fronts to their stores Very few store rooms remain that are not up to the City standard and these few will soon be re built. JNew stores are continually growing up. Three of which have just been finished by Abbeville Loan and Improvement Company. Oaeof these has been fitted up tor our post office. This building with its furniture which Is up to date in every respect gives us a post office than which there is none better in tbe up country unless it be in a government building. .New streets are being opaaed in order to furnish building lots lor those who wish to erect homes. Places that a few years ago were olu fields and buck lots to day bave handsome residences, and well kept grounds Instead ol J broken down fences and hrlar patches. The move Is forward all along the line. As soon as the Court. House and City Hall are ' finished the Public Square will be leveled, changed, and beautified to such a degree that It will not be recognized as the place of the horse racks. f Many splendid . bridges bave been built across streams within the City limits and there are several that remain to be built. This should be done as soon as practicable, as scon.the City can get the funds. Nothing so adds to the beanty of a City as well paved streets or sidewalfcs beneatb sha^ dy oaks or maples, but the comiort and util ity of such walks of course outweigh all other advantages. Now we can get these things if we want them and goal it right. Such a thing is the business^ not only of the City Council and Mayor but of every individual citizen of the town. If von think such a thidg Is good for the City why talk it anfc talk it like >00 meant it and it will come. Why can't we have what we went. We can and it Is ours for the asking. No man Is a friend to ihe town who will re fuse to threw hi6 Influence to the upbuilding of bis City. Property holders, those who pay most of the tax for such improvements as role, are ever ready to vote for anything for the good of the town, for tbey realize that every stroke of work done on the streets or in any pnbiic service adds just so much to the value of their property. We should all be constructive and not de structive arid whatever stands for the good of our hon;e city, by tbat we should stand "till the last armed foe expires" The Commercial Clnb begun a good work, and the work it did Is still felt, but for some cause itecrms to be sufferlrga partial strok? of paralysis. A te wn the size of Abbeville cannot tx'st in tbe proper interpretation of the word without an organization of this kind. The amount of lasting good accomplished for towns tbfougb tuch Rgences can never be fully measured but the benefits are ninny. Look at the good accomplished for the city of Charleston through the lEstrumentallty of Its Club. We rre all social beings and when we try to live to ourselves we become Darrow suspicious and weak. When we labor as a unit ard get together now, and then In the capacity ota business men's league, we leel stronger and broader and better and we are stronger, broader, and better. Don't let the club die out. If necessary ohange the constitution of the club so as to make It attractive In some way, but do not allow It to sink Into oblivion. Kick cveiy kicker yon bear kicking the City of Abbeville. KDOck every knocker In the head with a hand spike and talk for she town. We have the best town In the up country, the test land of the State In the County,;acd the best people In the whole round world! Why should we countenance the eruinblert? It Is aealnst the law here to grumble abcut our ( lty and any one bo doing Is an outlaw and is to be kicked. See that you uphold tbe magesty of the law. Center of Gravity. Everything has Its center cf gravity ex cept R. O. Hunter. R.O. exhibits such ec centricities along this line as to make one think that old man Newton was wrong about his hypothesis. Now R. O. may seem per fectly normal and natural here In Abbeville for days at.a time but presently some one touches a key and be flies to Kentucky like a slab sided meteor on a home stretch. It's truehecomeB home smiling with a drove of mulesor something of tbe kind, and soma really think be goes for this purpose but they are mlKtaken. Mules and horses area side line witn him, an excuse. He sells them lor any thing he can get Bnd If that Center oi gravity callB him he Just gives them away and flies ofl like the wind. P. S. If you want a mule or horse at half price strike R. O. on the eve of a Journey to Kentuck. There is a young lass in Kentuck Beloved by many a bold buck But lately R O. has been to and fro. ADd do you believe 11? The scoundrel's In luck! L ifeewise Mr. Foster Hammond has exhibi ted similar exceutricltles of late. He gratl ates toward Newberry perlodscally and far ther more does not buy u single horse or mule as an excuse! The Cnee of Evelyn Thaw. If Harry Thaw, of his own volition or at the solicitation ol the members of his family, attempts to secure a divorce from his wife Evelyn, he will prove himself to be the basest scoundrel unhung. If Thaw's family permit such a thing?to say nothlDg of encouraging It?they will de serve and will receive the cordial contempt a nd hatred of the entire country. The whole Thaw affair has been nausea ?<?*?* wtontr mnrn Vlifllvn KuD nftt hoan "US '? lildUjr T.OJP. "CO Uv/? ???u blameless, even according to her own story. Eut her devotion to her husband has been wonderful. It was the only redeeming lea- t| ture of the whole affair. The sacrifice shejg made In going on tbe stand to tell the story j ot her wrong moved the whole world to pity and admiration, and that, and that alone saved her hueband from the death penalty.' And If he should cast her off now there could be no punishment too great for him. ?Anderson Mall. ? ? ? ' K' An intelligent citizen of this county while w in town one day last week, was enthusiastic d< in his praises of Captain Shaw's recent letters al in the Press and Banner and was profoundly r? grateful to Senator Graydon for the defeat of the bill to repeal of the lien law. And j lnciden tally he expressed belief in the good work of the Press and Banner, but we told him that the credit for protecting the rights ^ of the poor man was due to Mr Graydon. I I Is Bishop W. W. Duncan Is dead. He died at Iy Spartanburg last Monday. ot <?rent Activity In Columbia ; A.nd'tbeyall with one accord be^an to tel1 elr business in Columbia. Standing beside i? train yesterday morning waiting for It to art, were a number of gentlemen ready to | gin thejonrney to Columbia, Someone gg?st?-d tbat they were going to help doubt g Legislators make up their minds as to bora they would vote /or United Sta'es nator. Wilh an air of innocence most nvloclrg they one after another said sorae ing like thir: "I am going to Columbia to see about col li seed hulls." "I nm going to *ee a^out. the University, id Incidentally, to learn something aboul surano "I am going to see aboutBome banking bus ess and fertilizers." About thut time Dr. Uarrlson walked upt id he was asked why he was going to Col ubia. HU reply wat-: "I am going on Mr. Frank G iry'8 business." Some one then suggested tbat "be is mire mest tbaa the rest of us." rtie conductor called lime on tbem, and ere was an immediate rush for the door of e oar. As the train moved off, a backman ,ine in a run, trying vainly to stop the aln by a whistle which be made by means a whistle which nature had furnished him mplete. When the train was disappearing Fort Pickens the conductor of the baek emed to be Impressed with tbe I impression at Capt. Williams's hearing was not good* ae paseenger aboard which was left behind ok his disappointment good naturedly. Gen. Hemphill went off.on the train, and mebody Bald: "Suppose we elect him Sena ir?" to which suggestion the crowd con irred unanimously. Mr. James Taggart's name of the Taggart DU?e, was mentioned as a suitable Senator, 3d the nomination was pleasantly received. The editor of the Press and Banner asked a lend, in case the announcement would re eve the situation, to state that he would Dt serve, however much be might be anx ius to please. Gen. A. W, Jones was with tbe delegation, e came up looking after his farming Inter ns. Sad Death. John E. Bradley, Jr., Infant son of J. Tatum radley died at his father's home Weduet ay, February 26th, 1908, aged 8 years. Trou les have accnmulated at a fearful rate with lr. Bradley. At intervals of about five ton ths he lost his father, bis wife end ofie ol Is twin boys, leaving only one child. Little John was an unusually bright and loughtful child, and frequently asked quef ons beyond his years. A few days before Is death, when his condition did not seem H-lous, he said to his grandmother: "I want ou to take me to my mama and grandpapa." nd after pausing a little said, "That's in eaven." There is something unusually pitiful In tbe eparatlon of these twin children. So olosely 'ere their little lives Interwoven that It ould be easy to Imagine their very thoughts 3e same. One has Joined the mother, tbe ther Is left with the father; left to wonder here the mother and brother have gone. Death Is a mystery to tbe mature man no >ss than to tbe child. Time may never solve > tbe surviving child the mystery of his loss, ut as tbe years pass be will learn not to que? on when those near and dear to him are illed within the shadow. Jt eeeros tbatatate sovereignty ana aispen iry liquor are two separate and distinct repositions, Tbe editor of tbe Press and Banner is de ghted with what now seems to be tbe pros ed lor an honest settlement of the State's ln ebtedness. Aocording to our way of thlnk )g tbe effort to evade payment for liqaor hlch hod bought and sold to its citizens at a roflt Is scarcely lessreprebenslble thantbeact f tbe State Legislature in confiscating or re udlating fifty cents on the dollar of the tate house bonds which were Issued before je war. We don't think Sooth Carolina h?s een distinguished for honesty or for the nyment of debt that Mt could evade by the owerofthe State. South Carolina having )ld the liquor it should be ashamed to re ise to pay for it. Mr. Bryan, in a recent speech expressed Is opinion that the railroads and trusts ere using or would use money in tbe se* ctlon of delegates to Denver. This news aper thinks Mr. Bryan is mistaken, and we re quite snre that the trusts and tbe rail )ads are too smart to waste their money in iat way. Why should they caae if Mr. Bry o is nominated? That is what we wonld ke to inow. Members of the Legislature from this coun 7 left town yesterday for Colnmbla.

The Judiciary Committee of tbe House of Representatives Is devoting considerable time to the consideration of tbe Anti-liquor measures which have been Introduced and referred to this Committee, upon wbicb Committeo Congreesmim Allien of South Carolina Is one of tbe leading active Demo cratic Members. For the last two or three weeks this Committee has been In almost constant session. A large number of people representing both sides of tbe question have been before tbe Committee representing dif ferent views of the subject. The proposed legislation Is a provision to subject Intoxi cating liquors, shipped In Inter-state Com merce to the polloe powers of tbe states when they cross the boundary line of tbe ptate. Mr. Aiken has drafted a BUI to tnls effect, which Is being considered by tbe Committee. If bis measure should be enacted Into law It would effectually BOlve tbe perplexing prob lem which Just at tbls time Is agitating the entire country from tbe Atlantic tbe Pa clfllc. In Bubstance Mr. Aiken's Biil Is to prohibit tbe transfer of liquors and lntoxloat tng drinks from a wet state Into one which bas prohibited by law, the sale of whiskey. It Is tbe expectation or Mr. Aiken to receive a favorable report on bis Bill, and he be lieves thai ultimately It will be made at law. It is learned here with great interest tbat as soon as tne Agricultural Appropriation Bill Is reported and oomea up lntthe House for passage, Hon. J. Thcs. Heflln, of Alabama will discuss before tbat distinguished body, In his customary eloquent manner, the ques tion of Cotton Exchanges dealing in cotton futures. It is said tbat Mr. Heflin Intends to make a strong appeal In favor of sending more Agents Into foreign, countries to look after our cotton trade, ahd urge the use of more cotton goods. This address promises lo DO one or vaiuauie imparlance ana is oeing looked lorwurd lo with close interest. Iq ibe matter of gathering cotton statistics to make an estimate tbereon, but tbe Agri cultural Department, Mr. Heflln was lnstm menlal In getting a. provlnlon in tbe penal oode, now pending 1n the House, to punish any person In tbe Departmeut for giving out Information lo Cotton Exctmnirei, or anyone else, prior to the lime of publishing these estimates. It will b? remembered tb*t Mr. Hwlin Introduced a Resolution h?fore Xnni. charging tbatthe Agricultural Dppartment's estimate ot tbe cotton orop for 1907 was too targe. He has been persistently pursuing ibis Resolution to final actio:1, and at the Investigation, lsistweek.lt was admitted to the Agricultural Committee that tbe charge was uue, und that the estimate was exagger ated. It mayvwell be said tbat the ootton growers and ibe Agricultural interests of tbe country have no better Mend than Hon. J. Thus. Heflln, of Alabama. . Congressman Ellerbe, of South Carolina, has secured from 'he Post Office Department an order to have Darlington County Inspect ed, looking to tbe Inauguration ol complete Rural Free Delivery Service in that county. Mr. Ellerbe in his efforts to secure tbe very best advantages for his constituents along this line is indeed persistent. It will be re membered tbat he JuHt recently obtained an Inanpnllnn of Mnrlhnrn nrmntv and Hno.ceeded Id having 11 put under complete rnral service Asa manifestation of the forceful manner of work wblcb Mr. Ellerbe has been continuous ly engaged In along tbls line, It Is an Inter- . eating fact, tbat he has given bis constituents tbe benefit of establishing tbree times as a many rural route* Id bis District since bis Induction Into office as were In operation prior to his election. Tbia was obtained only by hard work for tbe polloy of tbe Depart- . men', bas been to cut down tbe service rather ' tban IncreHse It. Mr. Ellerbe's Idea Is ttiat a with better mall facilities tbe accommoda- d Hons of tbe farmers are enormously Increas ed, giving the country the pleasant situation ., of allowing tbe Rural Carriers to form tbe " connecting link of business between the 0 towns, country-store, and farmer. n ( a BRIEF STATEMENT I V Of what Forty Years of Free ^nbor * and Unrestrained Effort bns Ac compllshed in Abbeville County.

As Dangerous As Whlikcj'l We say, "Boys, don't smoke cigarettes."' >o you ask why?
