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.

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

The blind tigers will find this law inconvenient,
so will the fellow who wishes no i

In the annual report of the physician in

The rural carriers are expected to lookafter

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. *

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

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.

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

out of the bank than can the farmers of

dollars in farms is not so bad.j ' 'Don't cbe

There is a surplus of about f3,000 es

be utilized to cover any deficit without in
curring further debt.
The trustees who were elected to serve
the next three years are: Messrs. Howard

They get it all, that is a cinch.

MR. WILSONS BOOKLET
: Remarks by the Anderson) Mail and the
I aiirancirilU
Whenthe Methodist conference met ai
Abbeville Mr. Hugh Wilson had printec
and distributed at Ais o?vn expense t
booklet?it was really 1 a bofck, containing
about 100 pages?whicfi was I most uniqu(
as well as a very valuable publication. II
contained a full and comprehensive sketcl
of Methodism in Abbeville county frorr
the earliest days, besidefc a general writeup
of the town and counter. 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. W?
have read it with pleasure fcnd shall keep
it among the permanent flecords of the
ofilce.?Anderson Mail. 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?>.
In the name of the city of Abbeville, Mr.
TVi'lonw /vrtt?A <> /lArrltnl ntHflafino' arr\
?t llOUJi av.viuiiu fjivguui6 w.u itctu
welcome to the members of the Soyth Carolina
Conference. He told them:*Th[e city
is yours. Our homes are yours, j The
best of all that we have is yours." 1
Mr. "Wilson is not wedded to "Tro Laymen's
Movement," has a good dcallto 6ay
about it, and asks: "May not danrt?rlurk
behind the fairest surface?" 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. He ipeaks of
the Inrce amount of monevhisown branrh
of the Church, the Associate iKeformed
Presbyterian, has expended in /trying to
convert the Mexican, most of it! he says,
for high salaried Missionaries! much of
which large sum is obtained bjlbppresting
home people, he alleges. He sflys: "Not
a single instance is recallefJwhere our
Saviour commanded or authf%ed any organization
to make upon oth m an assessment
for missionary purp< s," and he
quotes Scripture to sustain L contention.
Mr. Wilson is a strong anr Bicisive, but
courteous writer. He has K>m own views
about matters secular or itj Ions, and expresses
them fearlessly. ^

The Secretary of Agricfulture has issued
an ord'.r effective (on an? after December
6, 1909) releasing from federal quarantine
the counties of Oconee, tfickens, Greenville
and Anderson. 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.
With the exception Jof a few premises
which are still in quarantine these counties
are now free from ticks. The release of
these counties should drove an incentive to
the live stock industry, especially in this
area, as cattle can nam- be raised without
feaijof loss from tiek^L^r and can be sold
wltUout restriction. order does not
allow niovement of these counties
from other porti>^^H^s state. Tick
eradication work is conducted
