Bacon, editor of the Edgcfielcl Chronicle, died last Wednesday, at the ? age of 7s. Not during a long career in journalistic work have we seen so many nice notieeg of any man as we have seen of Mr. Bacon. He was known to all of the journalists of the state, and a great number of them wrote their sweetest thoughts of one who has so long entertained the reading public. He is one man who seems to have many friends and no enemies. At the recent meeting of the Press Association, he seemed to be the life of the party. His heart was surprisingly young and as joyous, as when he was at the age ' of twenty. Though time had chiseled furroughs over his face and the frosts of ma- ? ny winters were on his head, yet his young heart and his well stored mind p combined to make him a most attractive .. o hgure. j Look in ir at him in Greenville this writer thought his chances for years of useful- ^ ness were good and looking at the older ^ members we wondered which of us would b? the first to go. Ho seemed so healthy .( and robust only two months ago that those . of us who have lived our three score and ^ ten years may take notice and set our tj house in order for the going. Of late some of the older members have gone out from ^ amongst us, and it may be set down as a ^ fact that there are others. Wo know not who will be called away before a great while. And each of |us older men may ^ expect the coming of the call; and none of us may expect as many words of euolo- . gy, or as many flowers of speech, as have been accorded to our beloved brother j( whose voice is hushed, whose pen has been laid aside, and whose hand is vanished. May he rest in peace and may his v sleep be sweet. ^ s A Good Man. * Mr. J. F. Widenian, Superintendent of n Education in Greenwood County, made u s pleasant call last Wednesdaylat the ofllce u of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wideman is a good f? A. R. P. and a firm believer in missions, d He thinks the souls of Mexicans are very p valuable and that we ought to save as ma- u ny as possible. Mr. Widemun, like other n missionary enthusiasts, is not so much im- r pressed with the necessity of preaching o the gospel to home folks, who may not hunger and thirst after the righteousness li which is being offered to them free ir 1< they do not embrace the religion of our t. Saviour it is their misfortune, and not our t fault. He did not refer to the injunction o of our Savior to send out into the streets o l?i r?V?TT*r?-* ?<- frv Ivrnnrv in Vnr rllH h auu ui^una/c iv iiivjlli m. v*?? * he say that he thought home folks ought to catch on to our religion even as a trout ii takes a minnow in out of the wet. He did tl not speak of our neglect to look after our n brothers at home, that we might more 11 carefuily look after our cousins in Mexico, ii Though he did not say so in words, yot t< it looks to us as if he regarded home tl missionaries as of secondary importance, t< when compared to Mexican missions. We have no doubt that he is friendly to the c Abbeville church, but he made no protest fi .at taxing the home church for the benefit s: of our friends in Mexico. o Notwithstanding his delusions about ii foreign missions, he is one of the best men ii in all this section. He is so large-hearted cl and so intelligent-minded that he can talk with a friend on the subject of missions without showing ill-feeling or falling out with a friend whom he would convert to his own way of thinking. Mr. Wideman asked very kindly about Abbeville A. R. P. Church, but his kind in- a terest was manifested abont Mexico, where ^ it is fair to assume that the Evil One is still doing a thriving business at the old stand, even as he did before we sent away ^ any of our kin out there to break up his business. jj While Mr. Wilson's booklets have not af- . fected the mind of Mr. Wideinan, it is nevci ertheless true that Mr. Wilson has had ^ many words of commendation and approval of his efforts to protect the home churches from a needless cruelty which ? has heretofore been imposed on us in the home of the cuurch for the alleged purpose of preaching the gospel to people who do not want our interference in their religion 1 but who are willing for our people to educate their children, to maintain hospitals for their sick, and to give homes to their orphans. * Georgia Meddlers. * In Georgia some preachers are seeking to place additional barriers to marriage, a This act through a lonjy 'list of questions n to be answered by the bride and the groom c before a marriage license may be granted: We would suggest that the afore said g preachers could better serve the public c morals br removing all barriers to mar- h riage, and then refusing divorce for any reason. ji In South Carolino we have no divorce, { and we believe that not one marriage in ii a thousand is disturbed by a seperation. Some of us in South Carolina are proud j, to believe that there is no spot of ground jj on all this earth where woman's honor is j, so well protected as in the pahiietto State, j, ?? h A Good Farmer from Due West. s Mr. Newt McAdams was in town a few ? days ago and talked interestingly. Among j other things of which he spoke he gave a e hasty| sketch of the trip which his daugh- p ter, Miss Gertrude McAdams, made across ^ the ocean not so long ago, visiting many j. inteiesting places in the old world. Mr. v McAdams is a good farmer in the Due West section and is a good friend to Abbe- p ville. He is also a good friend to the "Junior," who is always glad to see him. jj The Georgia notes that the Indians y, were eating oysters when John Smith lirst cruised into the Cheaspeake. And that paper might have added that all of the aforesaid Indians are dead, as will be those of us who persist in eating oysters. n Mr. R. E. Hill is assisting the Auditor in * ' preparing his books for the Treasurer, * ' who will open his office for the collections 11 of taxes very soon after the dry spell is 8 over. v ' J Henry Ward Beecher was no admirer of 0 children. He said a three year old child " had about as much sense as a calf. ii One-thi 1 SANITARY ^T FELT MATTRESS $15.00 T HI Phor "Compulsory". If there is a word in the English lar uage which should be more offensive t tie free born American citizens than "con ulsory" we do not rqcall it, especiall hen that word refers to enforced idlenes f children, or to their enforced educatioi lather than compel hundreds of childre f both sexes to live in idleness In conges il settlements, it were better that the ad not been born. xnis writer Deneves mat me biuuiw llenees of a great number of girls an oys in a small community is the blackes lot on the statute books of this state, an hat the disgracefull results following tli tate's interference in the control of tli imily is indiscrible, and, in our opinio he enforced idlenese of a great number < iris and boys is attemled by evils th; hould make law-makers and good citizei lush. Natural born fools may prate about tl: naginary deleterious influence of chil ibor but never a word bas these sam wis said about the ten-fold greater evi f enforced idleness. Of course, children should not be ove: forked, either mentally or physicully, bi here is perhaps not a man on earth, 01 ide of the Legislature, who does n( now that the minds of children are bein aught from seven years up. In like mai er children should be taught to work, ii tead of being kept in enforced idlenes ntil habits or way-waruness may i armed. Idlenes has been said to beth evils workshop. If this be so, why con el innocent children to remain idl ntil they learn things which they shoul ot learn? Why should not a boy or a gil ender reasonable services in helping hi r her parents to make a living? We believe one pretext for the anti-chil ibor law is the fact that a few old me :>af about the mills to eat the bread whic heir children earned, The authorities < ne mills should enforce the vagrant law n their premises, and the Legislatui ught to allow the children to earn a onorable living. If the Legislature was sincere and hones i any effort to benefit the operatives < he cotton mills, why is it that the bod lakes no effort to protect either th lorals or the health of the people? Wh i it that the Legislature is interested ^>nl the extent of enforcing idleness upo hose who ought to be shielded from Ih jmptations incident to idleness? Why is it that seventeen men, wome liildren of dilTerent sexes and differer imilies are allowed to be crowded into ix-room house? Is it not possible thi otton mill families may be furnished wit npure drinking water? Is it not possibl 1 some instances that*wells and eart losets are in too close noximity? A Matter of Importance. We see that the matter of baling cottc > being brought prominently forwar gain. 1. it is alleged that the Liverpool mai et deducts six per cent from the weigl f a bale for.bagglng and ties. 2. It is stated that the American ma: et is governed by the Liverpool marke 3. It is also stated that no matter ho1 ttle bagging the ginner may put on a bal tie deficiency in weight is made up in th ity from which it is shipped abroad. Thi eflciency being made up^by tacking on tli dditional weight to cover the expose otton in the bale. 4. That by adding enough scraps c agging to make up the six per cent, som oby makes a handsome profit on wht he farmer or the ginner.threw away. 5. Six per cent 011 a 500 lb bale is 30 Ibi in a 400-lb bale is 24 lbs. 6. That bagging and ties cost about nd 1-2 cents a pound, vttiile cotton : 2 cents a pound. 7. The shortage in 3 1-2 cents baggin nd ties is ruado up by the farmer in 1 ent cotton. 8. If only twenty pounds of baggin nd ties is used on a 500-lb. bale, the fai ner loses ten pounds of his twelve cer otton* 9. The additional ten pounds of baj :ing would cost, at 3 1-2 cents a pound, ? ents, while the loss in ten pounds of col on is $1.20. 10. The difference in the price of te xjunds of bagging at 3 1-2 cents and te >ounds of cotton at twelve cents a pouh 5 oo ceil us ugaiiibi me lariuer. 11. While it is true that 85 cents a bal 5 a small matter, yet on ten or twent t is a much larger matter, and is of soia lterest to the farmer in case he shoul ave use for 85 cents additional on eac ale. 12. Farmers who have no use for 8 mall a matter as 85 cents a bale need giv he matter of bagging and tie6 no concen t is presumed that the shipper will ad nough scrap bagging to make out the si er cent discount on the weight of th ale, which Liverpool make6. Almost an iborer around a broker's oflice might ver rellj make up the deficiency. 13. The matter is with the farmer wh ertainly knows his business, and th rinter hereof has 110 advice to give. B< evers in foreign missions should us ght bagging for in this way some need oreigner will be benefited. Traveled More than Cook or Peary. Mr. W\ T. McDonald has traveled 75,00 liles in eight years on Route 3, or thre irnes as mucn as would take him aroum tie world. Therefore, according to th liles traveled Mr.*ycDonuld is a mud reater man than either Cook or Peary rho only claim to have gone as far as th forth Pole. The world is making heroei f Cook and Peary, and yet nothing is 6ai< f McDonald's longer journeying. It i hps proven that the world knows noth g of its greater men. rd Your L<ife it tl MATTRESS $10.00 C KERR ie 8. Some Men Look for Policemen' E,Those who partake of the draught 01 that brings some men victorious over all ?-. the ills of life have been indulging freely y since the opening of the dispensary. The 16 j fluid which is obtained at that institution ! makes men feel rich and makes others forn get thoy are poor. t-j Next morning after a free indulgence, y some of tiie rich investors are so trans! formed that they feel the necessity of. bord rowing a five dollar bill to settle with the d city fathers. Some whose big fortunes or good feelings have entirely vanished are d furnished a job on the chain gang, where e they can work out the fine. As a rule a e man ought not to go on a drunk until afn ter lie has safely stored away a surplus five if i dollar bill, in his jeans to answer the deit j mauds of a probable contingency. If not is found in due time some of the imbibers of corn juice go in search of a policeman, merely to convince him thaf they are not <3 drunk. In such eases the effort always ?e fails, when the man who thinks the poll liceman is mistaken is furnished with a nights lodging which costs more than a bed at the Eureka. it it )t Mothers of Veterans. S Over in Laurens County search has been made for mothers of veterans in the Confederate war. And now they are looking 15 for fathers of Confederate veterans. 16 Where, are the fathers?

' |j Abbeville has long been short on good j b read and much of the staff of life has j heretofore been brought to town from' ( other cities, but all this is now changed. ; < A few months ago Mr. L. T. Miller | built a house and oven in which to bake bread. He also bought at least one ma-! chine for working the dough, which ma-| chine is run b? an electric motor. Busy j hands in the shop are assigned to the different duties, and so the baking goes 1 bravely on. v < The business has so increased that Mr. 1 llilier contemplates building an additional room in which another oven and other machines will be placed. J Besides the bread wnich he sell In town he sells',hundreds of rolls to other towns t every day. And so it is, we arc shipping j bread instead of ordering it from abroad. f Mr. Miller wraps each separate roll in tissue paper which has been made for the j purpose. This wrapping not only keeps the hread fresh, but is a complete protec- ( tion from the filthy or poisonious work of I the desDised house flv or anv of his tritrt or far off kin. There are no flies on ilr. Miller's bread, and there is no reason why any body should "fly blow" the. best and the sweetest bread. The building is located near Main Street on the east side of Magazine Street. I i 1 Oc Store c c ? c ivals every day in I A 4 A _ _ :s, cuuery, stoves ee us. J a i ?
