What the Scriptures Say of it?And What the Town Council is Doing To ItThe Scriptures say that: "Every valley .hall be filled, and every mountain and lill shall bo brought low; and the crooked >hall be made straight, and the rough vays shall be made smooth". In fulfillment, in part at leaat, of this )romiseof Scripture, the town council of Abbeville have straightened the highway >eyond the Seaboard Depot, and the street 4-1-v /-? rrnll Xtt lnn/linr* 4-r\ f Ka a! 4 Ka ILIUOO LUC > ttUC V JCCkUlUg LW tUO 1WI Ui KUV Slue Hill, has bean filled so much that at he crossing of the branch the floor of the jridge will be ten feet above the water in he ford. The crest of the hill, when the work has Hjcn finished, will be greatly cut down, so hat the wagon way up the teep Blue Hill of fo ler days vill be so leveled as to bo scarcely known 0 the wayfarer as the gradu- ./ rising lope of today. The altered street, or the raised road s pleasing to the eye. For those of us who Irive over it the improved highway is deightful to contemplate. Every passer >ver, the new street will owe the city iouhcil a debt of gratitude for the nice )erformance of a work that has been needid ever since the Indians left this country. i.nd no greater work was ever done at less mtlay of money. The increasing demand upon the city for 1 greater water supply necessitated the (nlaYiring of the water plant and the dlsr ring- of new basins and the putting in of lew filters. The excavated earth from the rater works was used to raise the floor of he street or roadway, along which roadvay "the rich may speed in chases, while he poor may walk be Jasus." This roadway being about the most qon'enient place to dump the clay from the ixce.vations, and the street force being em>loyed in the work, the town gets both mprovement in the water works and the itreet at little or no greater cost than the stting of the grass and the weeds have a ting's excuse for romping about a little >n the sidewalk for a month or two. The people need not wait until they die o build monuments to Mayor Jones and o erect memorial' columns of granite to jtreet Overseer Johnson. They deserve iredit for the best work that was ever lone, and for doing this best work at litIe or no cost at all, the wayfarer, as well is the taxpayer, will ever be grateful. We learn that other improvements are ontemplated. For instance: The buildng of a steel bridge over Parker's Branch, in the road to Due West, and the further vork of building- embankments and ?ridges to Fort Pickens, so that only venuresorae citizens need to cross the trestle ind dare the engine to run over them, ["he railroad folk have taken up the walk dank over the trestle. This is to give he public notice that tresspassers walk he trestle at their own risk. It is just is well for old people and others who cantot safely jump, or butt an engine off the rack, to walk the safer route. The train las a habit of claiming its lines of steel vhile going over its own right of way. WINN AND VISANSKI FOM NEW LAW FIRM Itlanta Mayor-Elect and Partner Will Have Offices in the National Bank Building. Hon. Conrtland S. Winn, the muyor-elect, ind Hon. Walter W. Visanski have formed i law copartnership under the firm name if Winn & Visanskl. They will have offices n rooms 410-20-21, Atlanta National Bank wilding. That this firm will command the confiience and High regard of the public is veil known to all those who are acquaintsd with the two estimable gentlemen and tble counselors-at-law who compose it. Mr. Winn has recently been nominated nayor of Atlanta and he is recognized as >ne of the most able members of the bar. kit. Visanski has won a place among the oremost lawyers in the state. Both gen;lemen have a large circle of friends who vill wish success for the new firm. The above quotation is from the Atlanta Constitution of last week. Mr. Visanski las reasod to be proud not only of his son Walter. His other sons are each equally in honor to him. Julius Visanski in Chareston stands high as a merchant in the lome of his adoption. Samuel A. Visanski s one of the most noted as well as a nost useful physicians in the Gate City. \nu j^mesi visangKi, me youngest eon 01 )ur honored pubiic spirited citizen i6 a rlsng young lawyer in Charleston having the jost prospects for rising to the top of his profession.

Mrs. Charles Kirby of Spartanburg has jeon for a week on a visit to her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Kirby of Abbeville, she didn't bring her fine baby In time to show it at the Fair, where it would have leserved a premium. A little later on in ife the pretty babe will no doubt win a :irize of her own in a larger field which premium will be of jreater value than all the premiums that tvere given out at the Abbeville show. The Morning News Mr. ^George E. Koester o:! Columbia, a well k nown newspaper m.in, will edit for the News Publiishing Company of Columbia, a new Morning Newspaper for South Carolina. It will b<; an independent paper standing for no clique and obeying the behest, of no ring. It will be a newspaper of principle, representing the best interests of all of South Carolina. ' Great Democratic Victory (Contributed). The newspapers announce that by the o r?;cent elections, the lower house of Con- 8: gress will be Democratic. This can be of J* but little advantage to the South. As long: t< as the President and the Senate, are Republican, we do not see " any great reason for rejoicing. It has not jj yet been settled in our mind whether a a Northern Democrat or a Republican of any sort is the South's better friend. ? tl Mr. W. W. Edwards, a faithful old Con- ^ federate soldier, has been in bed for several weeks, suffering from a wound which he received in the war. In his body he o: has been carrying a ball for nearly fifty J* years. The U. D. C.'s will look after him p, even as they have looked after the comforts or need,'of others. Because of his age, his infirmity, or his wound, it would seem to us that the faithful old man might be provided with a place in the soldiers home. In this work of love and mercy s the U. D. C.'s, will no doubt do their part ? for the n^ed'y soldier who is a sufferer, and H has been sufferer for nearly half a cen- B tury, frotti having taken up arms for soutnern xugnie. b V Mr. Beard is improving hie iron foundry b and is enlarging his plant. His business a increases and the demands upon his resources grow. Ho is a skilled workman, who is ready to comply with every demand of the itrade, and is always on the c lookout for new business. P " a / And now we have heard the least bit of T talk of the necessity for a farmer's ginnery r< at Abbeville. That's all. tl - SI LOWNDESVILLE. Happenings of a Week In and About the Seven-Hilled City?Personals. g Lowndesvllle, Nov. 7,1910. ? Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Huckabee and their ![ little boy John went to Abbeville Monday "c by the dirt road and came back Tuesday, tr Dr. and Mrs. T. 0. Kirkpatrick and their 3d two little girls, and Mr. B. H. Moseley, left Monday for Columbia, where they attended the State Fair and were very much pleased with what they saw and heard. Mrs. B. W. Barber left Wednesday for 1 Sampit, in obedience to a teiegram an nounclng the illness 01 ner aaugnter Mrs. T. N. Bourne at that place. Later news Is that the then sick one is better. If Hallowe'en (one of the old-time observances which justified everybody in all R sorts of mischief, and in many instances the damaging of the property of another) was observed or even thought of being observed, it is not known to the writer. This fi is an improvement decidedly for the bet- " ter. A little harmless amusement on the nigh4; of October 31st cannot be condemned, " but no one should be made to suffer in per- ss son, property, nor to even special incon- E venience. A Mr. W. Powell Hale, impersonator, rep- e8 resenting the Alkahest Lyceum System of w Atlanta, was in this place Saturday night , upon the rostrum in the High School build ing, and pleased beyond measure the crowded house met to welcome him. From ta start to finish he drew the closest atten- nc tion of men, women and children present. g; Ho gave to his hearers, one and all, over an ^ hour's entertainment that they will long remember. .

Liddell gave an open house Friday night to about thirty of their male and female friends in honor of Mrs. * j Charles T. Baker. Light refreshments were served to the guests in due time, and a pleasant evening was spent by all. Troupe. PROSPER J. A. BERCKMANS DEAD, o 13 World-Famed Horticulturist Passes Away ?
