ESTABLISHED 1844 |jg| J contributed! A. R. P. Orphanage. . We believe the Associate Reformed Presbyterians are contemplating the establishment of an orphanage for the benefit of such children in this county as may be fatherless and who may need a home. These good people, we believe, have long been sending physicians, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and other desirable things to Mexico, and it is a special pleasure to note the possibility of their now giving a care to the needy and the fatherless at our own doors. If we are not in error, they have an eye on GrftPTTwnnH as a cnnd nlapft to locate their orphanage. Greenwood is no doubt a good place for an orphanage. The success of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage must be a great pleasure to the people of that town, while furnishing an object lesson for the A. R. P.'s. The care of orphans appeals to the kindly heart of men in all the stations and in all the relations of life. It mu6t be a source of heartfelt pride to all lovers of humanity if it be true that the Associate Reformed Presbyterians take seriously to the work which has for its purpose the' blessing of the fatherless children of our own blood. The feeding of little Indians in Mexico is a noble work, but the feeding and the clothing and the teaching of our own little children is the grandest work in which anybody pan engage. "While as between Greenwood, and all other places on earth, we should prefer Abbeville, as the home of the orphanage, we are gltd to see the attention of the A. R. P. people directed to a better and a higher purpose than that of fooling away ^ vast sums in Mexico. Yarn and Knitting Mill. Whether Abbeville ever builds any more cotton mills or not, need not interfere with the building of a spinning and knitting mill. While we know little or nothing of the present value of the property of the furniture factory, tfhich is offered for sale, and while we are equally ignorant as to ! the conduct of a spinning and knitting1 mill, yet we think the chances are that v now is the time to build such an industrial enterprise. If this is hard times then it is the most favorable time to put it up. If it is not hard times we can the more readily furnish the money. The plant of the furniture factory, it seems to us, could be utilized to advantage. If we do nothing more the town is finished. The boom in the price of property will burst. The pendulum will swing back, and f we will be at a standstill. \ Let some young man look into the value of the furniture plant, and then let him decide as to its availability. If it is available and a bargain, the town is plenty able to build the spinning and yarn mill. As far as our information goes the success of a knitting mill depends upon the ability to either spin the thread or to buy it in the town in which it te located. To ship it in, costs, including freight commissions, dray. age and other expenses, about two cents a L- . pound. Two cents a pound clear profit is 3 not a bad business in itself. Look at the [ furniture plant, and see it for yourself. It will go under the auctioneer's hammer next ISale Day.

One good thing about a 6leepy old town is, i that nobody can carry it off, even if anybody had any use for it. A sleepy old town is anchored, and cannot be stolen while we i sleep. It will be there the next time a drummer comes. Honestly. Will you tell anybody which of the missionary stories you believe? Do you believe that the heathen or anybody else is converted from the religion of his father's to ours, in|an instant? Nearly all the people in every land have some form of religion. To make a radical change in any man's religion you must first shake his faith in his own religion. And there is always an intervening sear son of infidelity before a man can accept another or a new religion. Will any body deny this? In the Biblfl times manv men Derformed I miracles, but we believe that nobody in these days, except missionaries, ever claim to do the impossible or to perform miracles. 1 Another thing. There are always fail? ures in everything, except in the missionary business, in which business, they always succeed, according to their own stories. But let one thing .be said to the credit and honor and truthfulness of the A. R P. missionaries. If they ever claimed to have performed miracles, we have failed to notice the fact. I Ino ludicrous stones 01 ine anegeu successes of missionary companies in ? other churches are only amusing to people who do not lose their headsWhen a missionary of mediocre ability attempts to overcome the heredity and the environment of a strange people he has attempted a big job. Another remarkable thing about performing miracles in a foreign land is the ease with which people who never convert>. ed a soul at home can do the impossible abroad. And 2 another remarkable thing about these miracles is, that we never see any report of such performances, -except when reported by the same performers of impossible things. Trolley LinesAnd now there is talk of a trolley line from Anderson to connect the Seaboard Air Line at Abbeville or Greenwood. It would seem that the route might be by ^ Antreville or Duo West, and on to Abbe ville. ?j It will not come to any town that is not k willing to contribute to its construction The question now is shall Abbeville win this proposed road? Long ago Abbeville missed the C. <fc W, C. road in its refusal to give $10,000. A little later Abbeville missed the Savannah Valley railroad, because of our refusal to give $5,000. Abbeville spent about $10,000 in personal subscriptions for the Cumberland Gap road, and the road is not here yet. The last venture that we made in building double track railroads.in the air from nowhere to nowhere was in the survey of a road from some unknown point on the Blue Kidge to an unidentified spot on the coast. That enterprise cost us, we believe, about $6,000. When feasible offers are made with possible chances of success we too often reject them. When visionary and impossible schemes with big promises that ought to fool no body are offered we too often grab at them like a trout grabs a minnow. We aro not informed about the trolley line. It is at least worth investigating. Unless we do something for the benefit of the town, this old berg will hibernate for another hundred years. We remained in seclusion in a torpid condition for a century, and then waked up for ten years> during which decade of wakefulness the old town grew more than it did in a century of slumber. If a new railroad should come here while we sleep there is no telling what we might dream. We might wake up and build new cotton mills, and a new cotton mill would give us ten years more : of prosperity. But we need not put out guards to keep the trolley from coming , while we sleep. It is not going to oome ; uninvited. The cost of entertaining the j trolley will likely be at least $20 a plate , for each man who aspires to be its host . If we could get a trolley for $50 a plate, its 1 presence for all time would be worth more to Abbeville than Taft'8 stop for a few ] hours in any city. < \ x i m'm j Looking After Beggars Since writing about beggars last week, we learn, that the town council is looking after them. While no license fee is being j charged up against the business, beggars must get permission before they can "do" 1 the town. Those beggars who have not a reasonable plea are told to move on, an<} 1 they generally move on to escape the pains and penalties that are usually imposed npon vagrants. As all communities and governments in this conntry provide for the neeciy it is not necessary for the people of Abbeville to care for all the paupers that may come from any and every part of the world* By the time we support our own needy we are sufficiently exhausted to need a rest. Beggars are nearly as bad as the appeals for foreign missions, which foreign missions we regard as the worst cheat that is being pressed upon the American people, and by which pressure good and simple minded people are being daily induced to throw away vast sums of money for visionary and impossible schemes by which able bodied men make a good living out of us, Toy Pistols ' Toy pistols are not'only a nuisance, but they are dangerous to life and limb. A year or two ago a little boy in this town lost a leg from the accidental discharge of a toy pistol cr toy gun. Last week another little boy lost his life from a bullet wound of a toy gun. One little boy in his grave; another maimed for life, and going on crutches Is enough to make men think. "" v The Rosenberg Mercantile Co. will save you money on bagging and ties.

( \ * a What "M" Sees and Hears on His a Rounds About the City and Along o Route No. 3. v A most interesting football game took ? place on the Abbeville diamond last Thursday between the Carolina Scrubs and Ab- a beville teams. Quite a number of spectators witnessed the game which was hard 1> fought from start to finish and we claimed si it was a regular "knock down and drag out game." One member of the Abbeville t> team got "up set" in the first onslaught, a but luckily there was a good supply of water on hand, and .he soon revived and o re-entered the fray, ready for another I knock down. The city team held their hand against t the Carolina College team and made the J game a tie, thus honors were easy. b Abbeville's second teato went to .Elber- a ton, Ga., and played that team, but unfortunately came out behind. The score be- o ing five to nothing* in Elberton's favor, b Rut. inst wait till that Elberton team cets n on the Abbeville diamond and these same ' boys will do them up in regular city style. ? Thanksgiving day has passed again and 61 our teachers and scholars have settled b down to business. The It. F. D. boys are on their regular duties after enjoying the day of rest. "We are thankful for this day, and wish there were two in each year. We all had big dinners, but not as big as that of President Taft, but nevertheless we expect we were about as thankful as the 1. President. . . 5 " Mr. and Mrs. James Taggart gave an elegant reception last; Friday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cobb: The affair was one of the notable social events ^ of the season, and was not only enjoyed, but will be recollected 'by numbers of the hundreds of guests present who were so C. charmingly entertained.
