What do we most need as an agency in building up our city? If Abbeville doubles in inhabitants wili it not double in property values? If it is possible to double our property values should not every man in the city endeavor to do so? Is there any reason why Abbeville Bhould not grow?

Splendid Edition of News and Courier The Charleston News and Courier issued an industrial edition on last Saturday, Jan. ,,? lst, which does credit to the editors and printers of, that paper and which gives the people of the State a pleasing view of Charleston, her progress, wealth and resources. The paper is not made up of advertisements sanwiched with plate, jfurniture and stale tales, but the contents are bright readable, interesting articles about the old city and its environs. A prosperous country will be known by its cities, especially its seaport cities. Travelers may well judge South Carolina by what Charleston, her chief seaport is. Charleston is our front gate. Through it we pass when going out to other paits of the world. If her trade is poor it is an indication that the trade of the State is lagging, If Charleston is prosperous it is an indication that the State is in a prosperous condition thus is the prosperity or adversity of a country shown in its metropolis. ThA "WATTC unH pAnwor onrl Phovlne+rm Poet are doing a good work for CharlestonEach man in the State should feel an in. interest in Charleston's welfare for the reasons just set forth, and the News and Courier and Post aie doing much to awaken that interest. According to the edition of Saturday Charleston shows seventy-seven million dollars in bank clearances. It shows 29 per cent increase in shipping. It shows 25 per cent increase in railroad tonnage. ^_It shows imported fifty three million five hundred thousand pouuds of sugar. It shows a five million dollar truck and vegetable business. It shows eighty-eight million dollars in standing timber. These are just a few things mentioned in the large industrial edition of 52 pages. There is no hot air about the edition, but a sturdy strong trade wind' which if I persisted !in will bring Charleston's ship llome and incedentally help bring -home the ship of our grand old State which is long over due but which has just been sighted. One Abbeville man says that it is the best single edition of any paper ever published in this State. Our compliments to Charleston and the News and Courier. Must be Marked. t All no/'bflfrpfi f\t xcMcbmr oV?lr?T-?nr1 Kf freight or express must now be labeled plainly with the word "whiskey". This is law. Should you see a package received by any one. which you know to be whiskey that has not the label, you may know that the law is being evaded. Evaded is the word we use now-a-days as a polite word for "smashed',. Those who get it in flour barrels and nail kegs cannot fool us any more. Boxes marked "glass" must be marked "whiskey also. The blind tigers will find this law inconvenient, so will the fellow who wishes no i one to know what he is receiving. See the i label. In the annual report of the physician in charge of the Western State Hospital foi the insane the Medico says that hand shakes and kind words do much for the patients. The truth of the statement it not to be doubted for an instant, hand shakes and kind words help us who are outeide the asylum walls yet. The rural carriers are expected to lookafter the road over which they travel. Should the roads become bad they are ex- ' pected to notify patrons and those inter- J ested ,of the fact so that they may be , worked. Should the roads become very i bad they are to notify the post master at Lyon?Xlugh. One of thf* loading social events of this season in Abbeville was the marriage of i Miss Ethel Lyon and Mr. Charles Klugh, Wednesday evening December 29th, 1909. The marriage was solemnized at the the home of tho bride's father, by Rev. E. B, Kennedy, pastor of the Associate Reformed church at Abbeville. While the thermometer stood more than ten degrees below freezing point, making it impossible for all vtho were bidden, to come, the large old colonial home was comfortably filled. There were about two hnnrirftd en fists nresfilit. There is no house in this whole land better suited to the entertainment of large gatherings than this and never has any place looked better than this one with its expansive hall and two large parlors thrown into one, and tastily decorated ; the room on the south side in holly Christmas colors, and the room on the north side in native sinilax. Around the entire wall in the room wheie the ceremony was performed, smilax was woven in and out of wire in such a way as to give the appearance of a wainscoting of evergreen. Smilax hung gracefully over the very large windows and met in the space between. The bride and groom stood under an arch on a bank of evergreen, over which smilax was so placed as to have the appearance of growing in its natural state. The wedding march Mendelssohn's was played by Miss Jessie Speed, whose grace and beauty of person added to the charm of sweet music. The bridal party entered the parlor from the rear hall in the following order: Miss Pearl Watson of Mt. Carmel with Mr. wniiam lYiugn, miss juargarec iuu^u wiui Mr. Willie Lyon. The bridesmaids wore beautiful gowns of pink messaline and carried an armful of pink carnations. They were the picture of grace aud beauty. Little Misses Edna Bradley and Betty Morrah, daintily dressed in pink messaline came next, strewing blue forget-me-nots in Jthe aisle for the bride. They were as pretty and graceful as two fairies. The groom entered with his brother, Mr. W. F. Klugh of Coronaca. Then tlie bride came in with her maid of honor, Mi6s Bunnie Kennedy of Due West, who was beautiful in a gown of pink net, cut with slashed tunic effect over a princess of satin. The tunic llnishings were of crystal and ribbon fringe, while the coisage was draped on one side and fastened at the back with a medalion of pearls and volants of Irish crochet outlined with crystal bands. She carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The lovely bride wore an exquisite gown of white satin meteor with court train. The tunic was bordered down the front with pearl pdssementry bauds'and outlined with drop fringe. A net drapery lay smartly over the plaited bretelles and down front, the tunic was caught up on edch side with pearl ornaments, the yoke and in ner sleeves were of tucked chiffon. Her veil was held in place with lilies of the valley and a sunburst of pearls, the gift of the gr^om. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. A pretty semi-circle was formed by the bridal party. Rev. E. B. Kennedy performed the nuptial ceremony, Aiier me congratulations anu goou wishes were showered upon the happy couple the guests were invited into the dining rooms, where ft most sumptuous course supper was served. The small dining room was arranged for the bride and her attendants. The table appointments were perfect in every detail. Two large bride's cake6were placed on the table and in the middle the centerpiece was a large reflector mirror, surmounted with a jardiniere of white azalias. Small ferns were also used. Pink and white were the colors used. The same plan was carried out in the large dining room. Little souvenir wedding bells tied with pink and white ribbon were cut from a Christmas tree and presented to each guest as they left the dining room. Mrs. J. C. Klugh and Mrs. J. F. Bradley assisted Mrs. Lyon in receiving. The bride Is a social favorite here. Her pretty face and charming manner have won a warm place in the hearts of all our people. The groom, an exceptionally handsome man, graduated with honors from "Wof" ford. He is principal of the Graded School at Greenwood and is held in the highest esteem wherever he is known. Col. C. J. Lyon, the bride's father, is one of the biggest hearted men in the county as well as the best sheriff in the State. He nnri his o-nnH wifA nrarn door in f.hoir elegant old home. There has not been within the memory of those living here, such a large and elaborate wedding and one more thoroughly enjoyed by everyone attending. The ! occasion will bo long remembered in Abbeville society. THE CASE OF B- L McGILL. ; . S Drinking on TrainsJust how drunk must a man be to justify the conductor in putting him o<T the i train? < This is a question of interest to the poo- | pie of Greenville and everywhere else who have ever been annoyed on a train by a drunken man, decided last week by j the State Supreme Court in the appeal of frho SonhnnrH from n rlor-icinn <if 1 hp Pir cuit Court giving B. L. Alt-Gill $2,000 damages for having been put o(T a train while drunk. The Court ruled that a man Ik? legally 1 ejected if he is so drunk as to bo disgust* 1 ing to reasonable passengers, though he ' may not be disorderly, and sent the case back for a new trial, which practically amounts to a reversal in this ease. \ The decision is of interest on South Carolna trains, where on holiday or Saturday afternoons and nights there is often not i only'disgusting drinking, but not infre* i (juently profane and even obscene language, although there is a special act making drinking in a passenger coach a misdemeanor.?Greehviile News. * $18,000 Was Sent Thro' Mail For Li- c quorAmericus, Ga., December 31,?(Special) j Fifteen thousand approximately represents the money order business done through the Americus post office during the past three weeks for shipments of whiskey here from Jacksonville and Louisville. Frequently during the holiJay season the daily money order business exceeded SI,200. With individual bank . hecks sent away, it is estimated the ' whiskey shipments here recently exceeded ' 518,000. I III The temperature fell to 8 degrees ^ah-j * Abbeville Leads + . Progress in Road Building. Detailed reports fiom about thirty supervisors received at the office of Com missioner Watson show that during the past year there have been built the follrvtfinrr rri i I r>n n>f>c ?f rnnfls in t.hifi State in these counties: Macadam, 29 miles;gravel, Cl miles; sand-clay, 21 miles. The total road built in this State is as follows for the 31 counties: Macadam, 105 miles; shell, 31 miles; sand-clay, 2,728 miles; gravel 1,015 miles. Abbeville now leads in miles built, being as follows: Sand-clay,'200 miles; gravel, 45 miles; macadam, 20 miles. The aggregate litfures for the whole State in 1004 were: Sand-clay, 1,575 miles; gravel, 179 miles; stone, G9 miles. So the increase has been very gratifying for the good roads movement, being about double the 1904 total for the live years. A booklet on sand-clay roads will be issued shortly by tho department, as listed by Supervisor Samuel Owens of Richland. The Richland sand-clay roads are now being talked about the country over, and it is probable that this form of highway will become more and more popular.?Greenville News. Savannah River Development The shoals on Savannah near Clarks Hill, Edgefield County are being developed. Three million dollars are being spent in harnessing the great power of the river. t"- - ?1 J-rrtill in AiirrnQim JLI1U OiCUl/I IL It^ W ill UU OViU iii ?ku(,i?wMw and Savannah principally. It is only a question of time, and a short time at that, before the Calhoun "'"ills power will be developed. There is enough power in these falls to turn every wheel in Abbeville, Anderson and Greenwood Counties. It will mean much for Abbeville when this immense power is developed. The mill at Calhoun Falls is built with a view to utilizing electricity as a motive power and no doubt this mill in time will bo run by power generated on the Savannah. The mills here are so near the power that doubtless they will also utilize the same power. Water power is the cheapest power in the world $nd the most lasting and it is safe to say that stock in water power companies will be good stock from now on to the end of time. Jailed. Charged With Arson On last Thursday Mr. A. F. Calvert went to his farm in Long Cane township to see about moving a tenant into a house that had just been vacated by another tenant. Before the tenant could bo moved the house was burned. Mr. Calvert had warrants sworn out against Geo. Adams, who it is alleged was the leader, Frank Smith, Will Burns, Willie Terry, Robt Miller, Juliern Haddon, JefT Aiken, Ben Aiken, and Beulah Smith. Ben Aiken has not yet been found, the others are in jail awaiting trial. Without lief or license, it is alleged, thefce parties held a "hot supper" in the house, and as a result the house is in ashes, 'besides the house being burned other damages were done the premises. A row is now on over the popularity of the two songs, Dixie and Yankee Doodle Some think that there is very little dignity in "simmon seeds and sandy bottoms"? that the thought is not so rich in Dixie as in Yankee Doodle. They think that Yankee Doodle is far superior. For instance: "Yankee Doodle w^nt to town and bought a little pony." How much is this ahead of "Simmon seeds and sandy bottoms." Yet this is not the climax of Yankee Doodle the climax follows with: "Stuck a feather in his cap and called him maccaroni!" how beautiful is that, how deep the thought, how rythmical the verse! "In Dixie land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie" the Yankee Doodleites say is too radical and red headed, and "hooray"! is simply plebian, not near so refined as: "Yankee Doodle Daiidy buttermilk and brandy." Prof. "William Summerville of Oxford1 University says that U. S. faimers are slovenly. As Josh Ashley says we can make a cross mark and draw more money out of the bank than can the farmers of "Old Hengland" 'anyhow. Thirty billion dollars in farms is not so bad.j ' 'Don't cbe know" if we be slovenly we do not want to be told about it by a "blooinin' Henglisman" The plumbers of New York are out on a strike, demanding $t> per day, with no work on Saturdays.

On the side Mr. Wilson offered a few Suggestions as tc the Laymen's movement fend foreign mi& sions. The members ol the conference may not have agreed witlV these views, but Mr. Wilson was so courtePuS-in his presentation of them that nolbody can have fallen out with him. Al^ooetber, the book let is one of the most inteilpsting publications we have seen in a Icing time.

J We are in receipt of interesting brochure,?yes, we'll call it al brochure, because, to call it a mere pamphlet or booklet would be too common and undignified? most carefully prepaied and written by Mr. Hugh Wilson, the veteran editor emeritus of that staunch old journal, the Abbeville Press and Banner. It contains twenty-two neatly printed pages. So, it will not do to say it is niultum in parvo, because there's nothing little about It, and contains much?much of research and fact, historical and otherwise, and in additional contains several elegaut illustrations of public buildings at Abbeville and Due West. It also gives a we.l-executed picture of the historic Burt House, in which the last meeting of tht Confederate Cabinet was held, April, 18?>.

Nor isf^ie yet converted to the cause of Foreign Missions, and gives his reasons therefor, some of which seem cogent and reasorable. He holds that befoie the heathen caJi be converted to the Christian religion.lhe must be civilized and educated.

This peijmits unrestricted niovement of cattle fro up these counties to all parts of the Unitectf States and is a direct result of tick eradication work which lias been conducted by state and federal authorities in this area jsinco July 1,1907.
