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. Act now or else lie down

ter's hammer and the ring of the bricklayer's
trowel "will not disturb your slumber.
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. < \

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.

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 "
