(j Wednesday, Aug. 10, 1910. |j S The Trolley. / After the statements made at Givenwood by the promoters of the trolley ex- t tension, to the effect that no decision p would be reached as between Abbeville & j and Greenwood until about September 1st, s J the statement sent out from Anderson that orders had been issued to perma- j, nently locate the road between Bolton aud v Greenwood, came as a surprise. Tlie uiu- ^ jority of the people of Abbeville, however, ^ could not and did not believe that Mr. v Thaekston and others were so poorly in- j, formed or that they tfould deliberately c mislead, and so were prepared for the cor- j recting statement which followed in a sub- j? i sequent issue of The State. a Unquestionably the southern extension e of the trolley system will take the course jj and make the connections that promise j( most to the system. They have no spite a at Abbeville, and if greater inducements a are held out by the Abbeville route, we must think that they will be given proper 0 consideration. v If the road should be built to Green- ii wood, the Southern Railway Company will j put on its single car system, sucn as is u now in operation between Anderson and 0 Greenville, and it will more than divide the e limited travel through that section, with s the trolley. On the other hand, should the v road come by way of Donalds aud Due 0 West to Abbeville, it will get the large bus- c in ess that is even now making the Due ii West road a dividend-paying property. i: Due West with her two colleges and grow- u ing business would be a feeder to the road v equal to one-third of either Abbeville or s Greenwood. The road would then pass o * : through one of the most prosperous sec- n .1 tlons of Abbeville County, to the city. Here then would be a through line from h Belton to Abbeville, fully half of which t fcould -be operated without competition, d T . Competition may be the life of trade but s h " it isn't always the life of the trader. r Abbeville is prepared to make or to ac- s 1 oept a proposition that should interest the t I" i. Tt,Lll ' troiiey promoters. >v mie >ve uuuy nut ca- u expect any special favors at their hands, n ? we believe, as business men, they will not y act without a frank conference with our a people. Our people should be prepared at g moment's notice to go into that conference u - with definite terms. ^ a R t, Home Coming In Anderson t The Anderson Home Coming in point of H members and interest was a great success. 8 Thousands of visitors thronged the a f streets of the pretty city every day, Old ? acquaintances were renewed, kinships re- 1 . '. traced,! cigars smoaked by the tens of h thousands, and ice cream cones devoured 1 by the myriads. p But the flying machine diden't fly. The traction company was put to it to furnish transportation for the crowds bent on sight seeing. Anderson stood up, hand- e some and splendid in her "Sunday best," ? with a smile of greeting for every 6on and paynim in her realm for the week, and made each feel a t home. But the Flying machine diden't fly. Good humor pervaded the atmosphere. There was no need of the "cop." A more ' orueriy or wen Denaveu people cuuiu uui ^ be found outside of South Carolina. Ample accommodations were made for all visitors and all who took advantage of the opportunity to go back Home or to see the beautiful city of the Piedmont came away pleased, ^ But the Flying machine diden't fly. Great numbers of people took advantage g of the low rates to see the wonder of the age, the flying machine. The Flying ma- ^ chine was a drawing card. The machine ^ was enscoused on the base ball grounds, . out at the park and many were the eyes that looked over the huge tent In the hopes that the bird might emerge its cage. a But the Flying machine diden't fly. P. S. Yes, the flying machine did fly. One who remains until Saturday evening tells us that when she did fly she flew like g a bird?Saturday evening. ...? l< Gasoline Against Mules * On last Saturday, near Greenwood, a trial was made of a twentv horse nower i' Gasoline Engine as the traction power for s road scrapes. Instead of hitching one ^ scrape to the engine as is commonly done ti with mules, two scrapes were hitched d tandem. The road over which the engine " .. worked was rough but the work done was C i'v-weU done and was sufficient to prove to P . the witness that the day of the mule is passed as traction power for road scrapes * ' in this country. r' On enquiring of those who were engin 8 eering the scrapes, about how many E mules would be required to pull the two 81 scrapes with the same ease with which the engine did the work, they answered that M ? sixteen could not do the work as easy, and as well and as fast. e One Gasoline Engine against sixteen n mules! " , It is time to give the poor old mule a w rest and let gasoline do the work. Hundreds of miles of roads in Abbeville county could be worked with the engine, iu fact a the engine can work almost any road that P mules can work. ^ The County Board should investigate 0 this matter and if it is a success in other Sl counties that have been useing it so long they should introduce it here at once. Abbeville county needs something more than she has at present. If the Engine will do the work let the supervisor buy one at onco and begin a good road crusade ? The engine can be bought for less than ? half of what mules would cost that could .^thpsanw; work. s On rainy days, too, when mules are eating corn at so much per. bushel the engine would consume nothing. If many men are using these engins to plow with e out in the ojd ilelds it does a*ui that the ]j County Board might investigate the feas- tl ibility of running them along the public high-way to pull scrapes. We muet have good roads. All are in favor of a throe dollur road tax next year some states pay five and we ought to. All are a unit as to making Abbeville county roads at least the equal of the roads in other counties. ti We are going to do something if you will back us up. (The "We" stands for olli- v eial in the county.) Give us your hearty support and encouragement and something will soon be done to better tho roads ^ in this the best county In every thing but v roads. ,I ill n n in I ill if\) Should Mules Be Required To Stop At Railroad Crossing'sColumbia, August 5.?A suit of unusual |c' ature has been filed at the County Court ii louse. W. \V. Dowdy, of the Eastover 3etion. is suing the Atlantic Coast Line >r having killed a pair ol' his mules and roken up a wagon, when one of the Coast f' <ine trains struck the team his son was o riving last fall. There is an ordinance assed by the town council of Eastover, iaking it unlawful to run trains at a rate P f more than twelve miles per hour o 11rough the city and providing also for j, tops at railway crossings. . It is alleged that tiie that struck Dowdy's cl Mini was going thirty-five miles an hour v nd that box cars blocked the vision of he driverof the team, so that the aj>- . roaching passenger train could not he sen. The allegation was also made that ? io signal was given by the engineer. The g uit is for $1.000. a It is a wonder the railroads do not sue jj idividuals for blocking the right of way ,'ith mules, wagons, automobiles and tt hings of that nature. Tho blocking of tl lie right of way at road crossing's is a s, ery dangerous thing. Besides endanger- 0 lg the property of the railroads it is a ^ onstant menace to the life of passengers. e Velve-year old steer or a tough old mnle q 5 enough to wreck an entire train, and nd how tiie long suffering railroads can a very day and constantly t>e knocking j, tiings off ol their ngnt 01 way wituom. ^ x?king for redress is something remark- j, ble. At least it shows great patience R nd magnanimity. c It is a question of which has the right g f way, the mule and wagon or the train y rith its United States mail, its express, [, ;s human freight, its perishable goods, ect- j 'here ought to be a clearer understanding nder the law which really has the right f way. The "Stop! Look! Listen" of the n rossing sign board fall on sightless eyes c o far as ttio fellow with the mules and { iagon is concerned. He drives across the 0 f way of the railroad with as much nou- t halanco and indifference as lie wouid drive s 11 crossing a spring drean, in fact there is ? isually no effort on his part or diligence, n inless there be a train approaching, in f. rhieh event he goes full speed ahead to f ee if he cannot beat the train over the a rossing. That is is true. You have seen a t done. n Now how the long suffering railroads t iave permitted their right of way to bo 0 hue hlrvked without brincinsr the offen- n !ers before the court is something very g trange indeed. It looks like the rail- E oads would at least pass a law requiring n uch persons to stop just before entering t heir right of way, so that when the noise f the wagon and the janggling of the har- j, ess ceased the individual could tell j, rhether or not a train was approaching, s nd thus reduce to the minimum the dan- g er of wrecking the train aud killing the jules. k We know nothing about this case ^ gainst the Atlantic Coast Line. It only erves to remind us that trains carrying i( he United States mail and probably ? cores of passengers should not be endan- v ered by a wagon and mules. A wagon g nd mules can go any where, across iields f. ver gullies thru woods, but a passenger ^ rain can only follow its track. Seeing ^ ow this is the case it does look like the ailroads should take some steps toward irotecting their property and the lives of r 1 1 '?> Knn/le hv dint of , nose wiii> sue m uicu ? ^ heir charge as common carrier. The mule should be required by law to u very crossing. No mule has any right ^ o wreck a train. " -? a c Praiseworthy Citizens. Talking about good roads; how much do ' ouwish good roads? ? Once upon a time a bunch of men were iscussing the destitution of a certain ood woman, and all expressed their sor- 0 ow and regret that such an one should ome to want. They were vociferous and > mphatic in there expressions, when one " f the number said: "Well, I'm sorry $5 rorth, how much are [you fellows sorry?" S -hen lo and behold, not another one was ii orry so much as a cent! t How much do you wish good roads? t ho supervisor left early Monday morn- a ig for Martin's mill whore he met certain itizens of that neighborhood who have 1 greed among themselves to work the tl oad between the mill and Price's gin for tl ctual expenses?mule feed, ect. b This Is the spirit that builds roads, or tl nything else to be built. The good citi- ji ens in the vicinity of Martin's mill de- n erve commodation for this step and if d thers in other parts or the county vrouiu Mid their aid in this way the county rould soon be in better shape. "Cussing" the Supervisor never built an ich of road and never will. But when the upervisor has the encouragement and t elp of the citizens as evidenced at Mar- A in's mill then something is going tube T one. If every man in the county were 1 nbued with the same spirit Abbeville a bunty would climb to the top In a sur- v risingly short time. n Some States pay as high as $5 commuta- o ion tax and our citizens see their good h oads and wonder "why in the devil our n upervisor does not build such roads", [ere is where echo is silent for very t< tiaiue. b But our people are thinking people and a ; will not be long before they realize that n ood roads cost money just liko anything s Ise that is worth having cost money and hen we all agree to this we, too, will pay c: tie price and put our county on a footing ith other counties. p Wn are soon to have a Brood roads meet- n lg in Abbeville and it is hoped that every y mn in the county who can attend will be resent. Expert road men will be here to ilk to us about good roads and it is to ur interest to hear what they have to ay so that we may be able to act and vote ^ itelligently when the time comes. ej ci d Communications from Candidates \\ Communications from candidates or clip- ^ ings inserted at the request of friends of andidates will be charged for at our reg lar advertising rates.

Tlic Manufactures' and Merchants' Asset- ^ lation of Floyd County, Georgia, is tak-1 ig steps to provide for a new industry. I That new industry is goat culture. Ordinarily this would be a theme for a uiny editorial, for if there is any Aehan, 1 r Philistine, or Beelzebub in the camp of | ^ ie average farmer, it is the capricious | oat. He is "animalia non grata" to the | rdinary farmer, and he finds no place { ere unless lie lias formed pleasant asso-! ^ iations with the little boy and the tin j "agon. R e To mention goats to some is to raise the | doi air, the goose flesh?to stand the bristles prt 11 end, to provoke ungentlemanly Ian- bu< uage; and yet it was not always thus, j 'V1 ml is not thus now in other countries ? Iian America. j jg, The goat deserves consideration. Any; jjU nimal with the sang I'roid and suavity fchi nd utter independence of the goat de-, tnj Brves more respect, anil it is the purpose ' Gr f the Association of Floyd County to j ,fc? ring about a better understandidg and to i Vj stablish mutual relations between Floyd onntyites and the goat. At the government station in Maryland palarge herd of Georgia and Carolina goats an aye recently been gotten together for ^ lie purpose of experimenting with them ?n i the effort to find an animal that will ive a sufficient How of milk to mako goat (or ulturo a paying proposition. The Geor-| ? ia goat is said to be the best milk goat; et discovered. The milk of those goats is j fot ilnmoml f.->V 1 n f O 11 f C tl n M inVfllid.S. ! Ut( (1 giO(lb uumuuvi ivi w..v. ... 'loyd county is a hilly country, and an vej Jeal goat country. P In other countries the goat holds a much un' aore enviable position than here. In the ^ ountries around the Mediterranean Sea opi ho goat entirely displaces the cow. Even an n the rocky island of Malta, there are an housands of goats which browse on the "P canty grass and herbage, and furnish uilk-jfor the i>eople in plenty. In the g0{ nornings the milk man rings his bell at th, he door and milk is delivered on the spot, up resh and.unwatered, for the milk man is It 1 ttended by his Jlock of goats, and they oi;l re milked to suit your order. There arc lany advantages to the milk man under his method. It precludes the necessity ( f carrying tin cans and churning the 16 nilk in a wagon before delivery. It also mj fives him more time in which to do his iu silking. And last but not least, it leaves hu 10 opportunity of palming off on the cusomer watered milk. ^ DO We should cultivate a .wider and more ^ ntimate acquaintance with the goat. Ho m, 5 a valuable animal and worthy more con - sti idcration than we have been wont to to' how him. re] No agency has caused;the goat to fall in o disrepute more than our stocK J-iaw. pu >wing to his roving disposition and utter i isregard to confines, limrts, and boundar- 1 js, a breach has been made between thn toi aimer and the goat which has constantly ' ridened since the inauguration of the tock Law. But the goat is a very domesic animal withal. He is fond of his home, entle and very companionable?to boys, tr* lis hide is valuable, his flesh most edible, 1 nd as a milk supply, second to none. no In this day of wire fences there is no Bt? eason why the goat should not resume J? lis former place in farm economy. The .. verage man in South Carolina would turn p his proboscis at a glass of goat milk tic ut the same individual will take his seat hh t a "table de hote" and eat Edam cheese 1 ,nd llocquefert with a zest that belies his ontempt for the milk. e<*' The goat is alright, and the Floyd Couny farmers will do a good work for the 8q, ountry if they succeed in reestablishing wc riendly relations between the man and Ev he animal?but the trouble is on the side ooi f the man. wl El! 11 ' ha tetter Service on the Abbeville BranchThose who go abroad by way of the "3 Southern have a most agreeable surprise i store for them.

Mr. Groy, so 16 had been learned from ) noticcs concerning his disappearance, ft ono evening aftar dinner gono out for troll around tho block. He had never Xio back. Ilis family was of course istrated after the raannor of families on ih sad occasions. After giving him no to come back, sonding to his clubs, i office and tho houses of his friends hid fe had finally told his lawyers, and By#n4Mc search was begun. Tho family 11 retirod from public lffe and donied ;mselves to every ono, consequently r chanccs for an interview with Mrs, cy did not see hopeful, but the city edr's air of granting me tho opportunity .ad been longing for made me loath to mit my fears. [ took tho train for the Greys' ?they ed a little way out of town?and prered myself to meet the servants' soorn d tho other attendant evils of such an lignnient. The coaoh was an ordinary B, and there were several laboring men it, evidently traveling to some suburb lero they were to work upon the roads, thev carried Dickaxcs and shovels: There eat opposite me and slightly for,rd a peculiar typo of man to whom I irid my gaze wandering every few rujn38. His Iron gray hair was thick and 7 unevenly cu*. His face was coverod th a stnbbly growth of gray beard. He iked unwashed, unkempt and generally pleasant. His blue bveralls were stainwith red clay and his rod flannel shirt jnod at the front in a way that revealed ything but a beautiful neok, burned d blistered. But the man's twitching sand convulsive movements of the jawi mctod my attention, and his deep m4, eiy bluo eyes that burned in cavernous ikuts fascinated me. He did not talk to ) other men, but sat with his head sunk on his breast, only occasionally raising to cast a look about him. He, with the ler laborers, left the train at Forestvllle, tere the Greys lived, and I soon saw 3m, under the direction of a foreman, ilgncd to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see me. at In the library while the servant took 7 card to fcer, for there were other callert the drawing room. Over the mantel ng a pioture, presumably Mrs. Grey, no in oil. She was as beautiful as a mco and us hard.

Then I rose to go "Is that Mr. Grey?" I asked, nodding vard the picture. "Yes, miss," was the reply, and sudnly It flashed upon me where I had seen Dse deep set, curiously shaped, keen bl ue 28. My heart leaped almost into my )uth. I took one long look at the porlit and the house. The men were repairing the road, and I ticed one of the workmen whose face irtled me. The rcsemblanoe to the porlit I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarka>. He worked with a fierce delight in 3 50vore labor. His face seemed more id than ever, with the exultation of morn and strength deepening the gleam In s eyea. rhero waa a telegraph office an the end the street. I sent a message to the city itor.

Then while I ?' #??-kA ftvimif. fvla DUU bUU lioou auu naiacu uwuv?w <umw uare I reflected upon the welcome I uld roccive if I had made a ruistaka ery minute I became mo e and more ivincod that I had mado tho most colos . blunder on rccord. By the time Mr. lington Ellsworth, the only man who ppened to bo available when my teleim was received, had arrived I was arly hysterical. I told Mr. Ellsworth r theory, and ho was properly skeptical, i discouraged mo thoroughly in about 0 minutes, bnt I suddenly rallied. "Well," I remarked, taking command, want you to keop that man in eight I ill go to town and got hia lawyer. Find b what train they go in on, and I'll wt you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to aot upon it suggestion, but he finally consented do so. I went in, summoned Mi. ey'fl lawyor and with him met tho rkingmen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, Lookf bored and unhappy, got out and pointout our suspected "disappearance" to 1 lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth, is I to bo forover disgraced or made fa jus forover? 'Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping ward, "what does this mean?" A.nd when I 6aw the man start wildly I ew that I was not forover disgraced, i o 'Well," 6aid the city editor Jovially, vhat did they say?" 'They didn't say anything. They didn't i me."
