Mr Paschal had been at the hospital for treatment for some six weeks. He nad been in failing health for more than a year. Last summer he went west and spent some time at health resorts endeavoring to build up his health again, and k at that time he thought that he had been much benefited by his trip. He failed to H improve however, and went to Augusta for treatment where he died. c His body was brought to Mt. Carmel ; where it was buried with K. of P. Honors. ? Mr Paschal was an influential man, a A man of business ability, and a man that Mt. Carmel will miss. He is survived by e wife, one child and his mother. " Inventor of ihe Wilson Planter Dead.

He may have all the law and the prophets, too, for that matter, on his ?ide. None of that is denied. On the general principle that a railroad ievolopes and builds up the country ;hrough which it passes, we cannot understand why objection should bo made to )uilding any road, anywhere, at any time, md especially if its promoters are willing ;hemselvcs to pay for its construction. We have always looked on railroads as of iufficient importance to warrant a tax for heir construction on the communities hrough which they pass. The Press and banner's doctrine is to get the rail road Irst, and session it afterwards; but in all rour getting, get railroads.

Wideman died at his home near Lower Long Cane, on last Thursday Nov. 25, aged 58 years. Mr. Wideman had entertained a number of guests at a Thanksgiving dinner, ainong whom were his brother, Mr. J. F. Wideman, and bride, of Greenwood. He had not complained of feeling ill until a very short time before his death. Only a few minutes before he died he said to some one near him that he was feeling strangely, and with the utterance his breath left him. Mr. Wideman was well known in the County, which ho had the honor of representing in the State Legislature at one time. Jtie was once a candidate ror (jongress but was defeated and did not offer to run a second time. He was a successful lecturer and as a singer bad no equal In the county. Had he had the opportunity of training his voice early In life he would have been a star. He was jovial and kind hearted, and while he knew much from experience concerning the bitter things of life he did not allow those things to influence, him but was always the same genial, jovial spirit. He was a pillar in the Lower Long 'Cane A. R. P. Church and no where, outside his immediate family, will he be missed more than he will bfc missed there. His remains were laid to rest in that churchyard. Rev. H. B Blakely preached the funeral sermon In the absence of Mr. Wideraans pastor, Rev. A. F. Bradley, who was too U1 to attend the last sad rites. The church was filled with mourning frlende. Even the ante bellum gallery, built for the slaves, in the old church house was filled with negroes who came to show their respect fir the dead whom they respected so much In life Paul Gilmore Coming. Paul Gilmore will appear at Abbeville, in "The Call of the North," very soon. Judging from the comments of papers in places where he has played, this is an exceptionally fine play, and Paul Qilmore, supported 1 oy a apienuiu company, eumus in me ironc rank of theatrical talent. Those who go to eee this play want to see it again and again. 1 On account of the reception to be given 1 in the home of Mr. Quarles on the night of the play, the curtain will rise at 8 o'clock instead of 8:30 as heretofore. This will give visitors to opera house ample time, after the play, to attend the reception. , a r Some of Abbeville Counties roads are "in a scrape" which being interpreted means that they are "out a scrape" and should be scraped. Anyone driving over these roads in a machine or buggy is likely to "meet with a scrape" on account of the fact that there is no "scrape" to be met with. Unless the scrapers scrape more than they have scraped the entire county will be in a scrape for the good reason that they have been out of scrapes. There is no better man than Supervsor Stevenson, but he has had a scrape on his hands and he 1s scraping it off as fast as he can.
