There are 110 better merchant; there 1 are no more trustworthy or Industrious farmem surrounding any town, and these two laciors do much lu making a place, but It 1* ^ believed that the most potent lactors In ttie development of the town have been the Cotton Mill and the Kallroad snops. We can v not bave otber railroad shops, but wby hoi another cotion mill? The conon mill business can not be overworked In ihe'Soutu so ^ long as a pound ol cotton is manulactured lu ' the .North and In England. This is the one " thing that does not compete materially wlib lmilar lDsUtutlons la the same town. But Bome may say that our cotton mill has gone through many vicissitudes of lortune. ' Uianltd lhat It has, It Is still here, and will be here lor all time. And we believe thai a< Its stockholders are satlsflcd with its present *' condition. In three years the stock in this mill advanced lrom about Co to SW per cent. ^ What was done lu three years can and may be done In three years more.

But something more is necessary L1 to sustain values, and continue the progress. w Then why not another coton mil'? n( It Is said that cotton mill machinery Is now 0I cheaper than at any time within the past fllteen years. We are nearer to the greal water power on Savannah River than any other city. We have right In oar midst a man who has no superior In making brick in the person of our progressive mayor.

One Negro Dead and Another in Jail. ? ph Major Smith, a colored youth in the neighborhood of Antrevllle and Henry Aus- fu( * .tfa, an Anderson darkey, andj the head of a w? family, with other negroes had a flab-fry on glg _ Little Klver Saturday night. We did not elt hear the relative amount of flih and whiskey Qr that had been Indulged In, but It is supposed that the liquor and the fish got on a razee. Whiskey and fish as a rule, do not mix 1 well. On this occasion Major Smith to give t0( variety to the entertainment, took hli gun. Pa making Henry Austin a target. Major being <?a a good shot, cent a ball whizzing through Henry's Internal Improvements The ball j < disorganized the mechanism ol Henry's an atomy 10 bucd an exieni mai do aiea next day. Major in company with an officer came to tbe Abbeville Jail where he now languishes In contemplation of the possibility of St getting from the court an appointment to v pull hemp or a commltBlon toa place on tbe P< public works. gjTwo lamentable things about this killing r are: The dead man leaves a family, and his 10 layer Is the eon of Anna Smith, a worthy hard working woman, who, by industry and economy has paid for a farm on which Bhe llvep. She has at the Btore6 all theoredltthat she wants or needs. This boy whom she brought up In the way be should go, wben be j got grown away he went- And now tbe old blc mother may give up all her estate for court expenses. Better for her and her boy, If she j let's him take care of himself. W< W - 3 *p< Bo Like a Thousand Brick. 3 lac One day last week, an Innocent vender of 1 apples or otber goods was sitting In bis wagon near tbe old waits of the burnt hotel, 0>r all uncontclouB of danger, when suddenly a A part of the ted of the brick wall pitched over toward him, and fell with a crash wnlch aft was sufficient to Jar tbe ground. Tbe bands Tb that were taking down tbe building moved a piece of timber In tbe front wall. It swung be around and threw down a part of the wall on sqi tbe side. A shade tree tbat stood betweeu tbe wagon and tbe falling wall, arrested tbe brick, when they fell to the sidewalk doing no otber damage th$n to score an apple Beller and tbe owner of the building. Tbe apple ^ seller didn't want to put tbe owner of the sb< building to the trouble of settling with ad- * mlnlstjators for damage to himself and e(j wagon. All's well that ends well. In to 1 Thought He Had Been Sick. bi We were all glad to see Mr. J. L. Roche on pjj the public fquare yesterday afternoon, look- 1 lDg as gay as a lark and as solid as a trick.

The Division of Entomology of South Carolina Experiment Station has repeatedly umphasized the fact in the press aud there ie no necessity for cutting down or otherwise destroying a tree merely because it is infested with San Jose scale unless the tree is so far gone that it has not enough vitality left to recover after tbe scale is killed. Although one of tbe worst insects in America, it has been demonstrated over and over aud over again that the pest can be successfully and economically controlled. Fruit growers all over the United States who are troubled with this pest are controlling it by the sprays devise'd for that purpose. All citizens of South Carolina who have trees dyinii or who know that their trees are infested with scale, or who have trees in an unthrifty condition are invited to write to the Division of Entomology, South Carolina Experiment Station, Clemson College, S., C. Information is cheerfully given and no postage is required to insure a reply. \ The Greaf Divide. The first show to be given In the Opera House was the Oreat Divide.
