Foster Cromer of this city has been traveling through the County of late, and he Is enthusiastic in his reports of the improved condition of the roads, where Supervisor Stevenson has been at work. The people in the neighborhoods where the Supervisor has worked are much pleased with the improved condition of the roads. Mr. Cromei\says that the road ? from Abbeville to Antreville is nearly good enough for a trolley line. The Steel bridge at Cade's Mill, he says, stands high above last year's high water mark, and is strong and durable. Mr. Cromer says it will last until we have all gone to rest. BAT TAIL STOBT. Mr. Cromer has journeyed much of late, and has acquired the habit oI repeating! some of the strange and unbelievable stories which he hears, one of which is that a rat at Belton got his tail tangled in a string. Other rats come to look at the rat with his tail tied up, and the number of rats that got their own tails tangled in the same string increased to nine. GOLD MINING STOBT. Mr. J. Foster Cromer has beien at the Dorn gold mine. He reports that the miner there placed oil in the tank which oil so affected the gold ore that nine-tenths of it floated off and was lost. Last Monday and Monday night, the weather was as fickle as April, as windy as March and as cold as winter. Mrs. Charles Kirby of Spartanburg has been in Abbeville for a week, on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Kirby. She brought the baby with her and carried it off when she went home. Hon. C. A. C.Waller, Judge W.J. Moore and Mr. George C. Hodges of Greenwood, were among the most pleasant guests last week. Quite a number of Abbeville men are now in the Conference, and all of Abbeville were glad to greet them back on their native heath. Dr. R. Y. MeLeod was a delegate to Conference. In the sixties he was an armed ambassador to meet old Sherman's hosts in the West, and he did his duty well. It will be a great pleasure to his many friends to learn that the health of Rev. P. B. Wells has been greatly Improved since he began to follow our directions about eating and not washing down his food. He has so far recovered his health that he has resumed jthe chewing of tobacco. The supply of turkeys ha6 been greatly reduced, but then we have a small quantity of pork saus-ige that is better thac turkey. Can't we form a company to buy the Walhalla knitting mill, which is to be sold next Sale Day? Can't we organize a company to buy the furniture plant, and turn it into a spinning and knitting mill? Unless we establish other industries the pendulum may swing back. The banks in Abbeville County have about three fourths of a million dollars on deposit?a sum far in excess of previous records. Some very nice things have been eaid about Mr. Wilsons book in reference to the Methodist Conference. It contains much information, and is distributed free. Read it and see if you no not think more of both Abbeville and the Methodist than ever. You can get a copy by calling at Mr, Wilson's quarters over the People's Bank. Hon. Wyatt Aiken left his colleagues in Congress and came home that he might have the pleasure of meeting with members and delegates to the Conference. Mr. J. H. Buchanon, for thirty years editor of the Chester Reporter was dels, gate to the Conference. During his stay lie maue a. pieasauL can at tne xress ana Banner office. Rev. L. F.

Take Care of the Supplies And The Price of Cotton Will Take Care of Itself. The farmers of the country and every one else in this neck of the woods wishes to see the price of cotton nest fall at least as high as it is now. That price is assured if the farmers will l make their own living at home. If the farmers will make their own corn, their own flour, their own meat, their own mo* lasses, their own potatoes, at home the present price of cotton is assured for nest fall. Furthermore, if the farmers refuse to provide these necessities and insist on planting the world and the i>otato patch in cotton then (> cents cotton is assured. Just now in the psychological moment with:the farmer. If they plant wheat, small grain, and corn enough to supply themselves'and if such planting is general and not sporadic, the result is inevitableWhen such a course will not only guarantee 15 cent cotton but will improve the old worn out farms, it looks like it would be well to follow it. The farmers are not going to be lulled into any false secuiity anent next Fall's price of cotton. They have seen the price jump up and down without rhyme or reason. They know what queer capers it can cut. They know there is no confidence to bs placed in the stability of the price. The only logical course to pursue is to take care that such supplies as are needed on the farm are made at home. If the far. mers pursue this policy the price of cotton will be even higher than it is now. Take care of the supplies on the farm and the price of cotton will take care of itself. ' COOKED What was the tale that Cook told? What are the facts that boosted the tale that Cook told? Where are the esqumaux all for-lorn that made Cook wish he had never been born, that denied all the facts that boosted the tale that Cook told? Where is the data taken by Cook, taken before he wrote his big book, somewhere up about Ook?a?ka?nook, to refute these charges serious and sworn, made by Espuimaux all for-lorn, that made Cook wish he had never been born, that denied all the facts that loostedthe tale that Cook told. The brave hearted Danes, where are they who took Cooks side in the tray, examining data to show to the world that Cook i6 a martyr instead of a churl who took this book somewhere up about Ook?a?ka ?nook. To refute these charges, serious and sworn made by Esquimaux all forlorn who made Cook wish he had never been born, that denied all the facts that boosted the tale that Cook told? Hey! Echo answers, where. \ The Methodist ConferenceThe Conference has come and gone. After staying with us for nearly a week our people were in love with them when they left us. N The intercourse between the preachers and delegates on one hand, and our people on the other, was pleasant to our people, and it is with a degree of pride that we record pleasant expressions by Conference people of our people. We all love the Methodist preachers more than we did before Conference. Whatever the Conference does in the way of change it ought not to break up the good old way of holding their meetings in the different towns. It seems that the sentiment for a division of the Conference is growing. The favorable vote on the question has increased wonderfully over a previous vote on the same question, and the division may be set down as sure to como. We hope therefore that the suggestion to build a hall in any city, and to hold the annual meetings in it may never be adopted. We had fairly good weather, and all the circumstances contributed to the pleasure and profit of the occasion. ? ? Another order has jlist gone; in for our famous waterproof shoes for men.

A new anaesthetic has been discovered by a .Roumanian meaico oy me use ui which a patient may watch his own operation without the vestige of pain.

Seeing the great number of little felloe on their way to school with a cup to drii from in their hands in addition to the lunch suggests the necetsity of hygen drinking fountains in-the school buildinj where so many use the same drinkii I vessel. The conditions in the Grad< School as to drinking facilities are u hygenic to say the least, and unless tl price of installing such fountains is pr j hibitive the school building should 1 filled up with them. Let the board of trustees look Into tl matter and pass judgment on the prop sition. If the hygenic drinking Jounta; is a good tiling, then let us have it; if is not of any value wo do not need it. Snow on the Planet Mars. It is worthy of note that astronomei speak as little as positively and with t little concern about snow observed on tl planet Mars, as if they were speaking < a snow at Columbia, or Charleston. Thei are either some unconscionable prevar cation or some possessed of wild iraag nation on the astronomical jobs, if con munication with Mars is not yet withi the range of possibility.

A. by Bawsan, of Spartanburg, is going to India as a missionary from the "A. E. P. Church, j The-e is perhaps no better man in the. ive Associate Reformed Church, but we would like to see the member of Synod who iey lay his hand on his heart, and say he beip_ lieves that Mr. Rawson is qualified for the of work, or that he believes the money ex;he pended for Mr. Eawson's trip is a wise j one. Mr. Rawson has had,3 for spvits eral years, charge of a church in Spartan- j burg where everything is favorable. Did he succeed in building it up? If he succeeded, he should stay there. If he failed in Spartanburg, where everything is favC. orable, how is he to go to a strange land, | with no knowledge of the language, and ;s. make proselytes from any religion where W.' the people are more tenacious to their religion than we are to ours? If there was a circumstance outside ol this Irreproachable disaster that would commend Mr. Rawson as a suitable man to become a missionary to India it is unknown to us, and his going will entail a heavy expense for which no sane man could hope for good results. It is, therefore, a mistake for Mr. Rawson to undertake a work for which he is wholly unprepared. He spent time and money to preof pare himself for the ministry in this counr>" try. If, therefore he could not establish a church in Spartanburg, and if his desire it> to go to India is a tact acknowledgement it or tne ract, wherein do sincere and interned gent handlers of church money see the adjy visability of taxing the church to support | sw men in a field where no sane man could ,ix hppe for adequate returns for the cost and the labor. . , is- From our view^polnt Mr. Rawson, outof side of his good character, does not pos- / '?j sess a single qualification for the work upon which he proposes to enter, and it is a- not clear to us how an honest and an in;n telligent body of Christians could consent ^ to employ a man who is totally unpre- al pared for the work. / 01 wesTend. id ' ', 5( r- Personal Paragraphs and News Items (l th Contributed by Miss Lily Templelon. ^ Mrs. Thomas Syfan of Gainesville, Ga., p H" Is in the city spending a? while with Mr. n, ? and Mrs. Brown Syfan.
