Last Thursday evening, the passing away of Mr. Sammio Beauford, the 19 year old son of Mr. Ham Beauford, Sr. leaves a sorrowing home. Truly this is an afflicted family with (6) members of it on beds of suffering for two months with fever. Sarumie was fast getting better but took a relapse and grew worse until the end came. He made a profession of faith and joined Long Cane church in August and has lived a true christian, but I ho was always a good son and brother. We feel that wo can testify to his noble traits of character having had him as a I pupil in school for 2 years and found Sammie always a good obedient boy. He | was buried at Long Cane by the suit; of his mother who preceded him to the I grave three years ago. The deepest > sympathy of the entire community is ! with this sorrowing family.

' Nowadays with all the up-to-date methods 1 of struction and means of conveyance, a railroad between here and Abbeville could be built and operated at a profit. Besides ( as it has been pointed out, the road would bring Anderson into closer connection 1 with another railroad?the Seaboard Air Line. Because the Anderson Traction Co. j resulted in a failure is no reason why this 1 venture should not be undertaken. Since , the equipment of our local street railway system there has come into use a better and cheaper mode of carrying passengers [ and freight?Gas engines. Now electric { roads cost a largo amount of money to ' equip, and the maintenance of electric 1 roads also costs a large sum. Now why 1 not build the railroad and equip It with . the gas-electric or the gasoline cars. ! These cars have proven a success in a J good many sections of the country, being J used by the great trunk systems in carry- ( ing their passenger business and freight . on their branch lines. Ritfht here in our J very midst, the self propelled cars on the 5 Blue Ridge and the Southern between Belton and Greenville have answered the purpose for which they were built and the management of the Southern has ( ordered more powerful and larger cars. ( The gasolene car would do away with all s the unsightly and costly overhead system ( of transmitting power that is used now e by the electric btreet railways and would j be more easily kept in repair than the j electric motor cars that are now used by 1 the trolley companies.

"I guess it wasn't a healthy leech in , ;he first place," said the cigarette smoker , sullenly. "Wasn't healthy, eh? Well, we'll try igain."

It is modern in ever respect and has a capacity of twice who the city uses at present. Its capacity is half million gallons per day. The old filter could not be washed; ther was no way to cleanse It once it becom polluted. The new filter is washed out e^ jry twenty-four hours whether it needs i sr not. Besides being easily washed it can als se boiled out whenever necessary. With the new filter cisterns have bee excavated which with the standplpo hoi nearly a million gallons of water, and thi whole reservoir system can be filled wit filtered water with our new plant ever forty-eight hours. It looks like our water troubles are se bled for some time to come. The wat that comes from the filter is as clear a crystal.

Line by AntrevilleIn our last Issue we reproduced a cli] ping from the Abbeville Press and Bai ner about the construction of a trolle line from Anderson to Abbeville by wa of Antreville. It was suggested in tt article that the people in Anderson an Abbeville and along the route build tl line if the Dukes do not do so. Since the we have had several persons interested 1 the matter to mention the matter to u and we firmly believe that with a litt! leadership the money can be raised an the line built. As suggested in the artic! Rrinted there is ample power available an ie country traversed is prosperous enoi gh to make the proposition a good payin investment. "We hope that the matter wi be looked into further and that the lir will be ultimately built. Intelligencer.

Abbeville Wants Trolley. Abbeville seems to have conceded th fact that the Trolley will run from Belto to Greenwood instead of from Belton t Abbeville. But still they want a line (low [n Abbeville, thoy want Anderson to e< aperete with them and build this line. W would like to advise that as there is a ready a line from Anderson to Belton an In consideration of the fact that Belto will be directly connected with Greenwoo and Greenville, it wonld be better to buil the line from Belton to Abbeville via th rich and productive Ciaytonville sectio and Due West. Such a lino would pa; well. It would traverse a good county. The Belton Time Don't be slow but buy your holida goods from C. A. Milford & Co.

(Contributed.) \ "The sentence of the Court is that you lt [John Black] be confined iu the State Peni- D a tentary for five years, without labor." "6r That is the sentence which was passed C e on John Black at Chester, who had been e found guilty of "conspiracy" in the mat- in tl r~ ters pertaining to his conduct while on the Per ^ dispensary board. If it has been explained how Black would be guilty of "conspira10 cy" while the jury said that co-defendants aft* were innocent, we have not seen it. We do Mri n not understand how one man, alone, could d go into a "conspiracy" by himself. the is The correspondent of the News and in ^ h Courier, in speaking of the instance, said: gjj y "Judge Moore's talk to the convicted] Id man was kindly and considerate, due at j>oi t- the same time straight from the shoulder, vill ,r He denounced the pillaging of the State, of reh which Black had been declared guilty." Id lg TVTa' It is not an unusual thing for a Judge on ^ ^ the bench to talk "straight" or otherwise Jan ,r cruelly to a convicted prisoner in the dock, D and of that kind of talk nothing is here Int lt Hai As far as we can now recall, it has not cha ^ been proven where the State has been "pil- Mi* laged,"but we think it has been proven ^ that the great State of South Carolina was Bit ie a partner in the aforesaid "pillaging" and Re< that it took its share of the profits and ^ then charged customers at the dispensary gU( an Increased price for liquor which increas- six >r ed price not only made State whole but )r which actually gave to it a great profit ^ ie over and above the actings and doings of j/ a- its own officers. Gr< it If Black was a pillager, grafter or con- ^ ie spirator from whom was graft and against j it whom did he conspire. The State was sim- mo >n ply the big partner in the shameful rasto cality of robbing the people, and now it 8p( *y seems that because of its strength, the Sir 3t State would be as mean as a traitor or as 1 a shameless as one who turns States evi- Sjjj it dence. 1 From our own view point, it would seem po that it is time for the State of South (Jaro- ^ X) lina to cease to wash its dirty linen in pub- j i(l lie, Are we never to be at rest? For riv years an d years after Democratic recon- Cit struction in 1876 we heard much of Repub- mj lican corruption, and to say that there da, was not Republican corruption would be i as untruthful as it would be to say that ,y the Democratic Legislature has at all j ,y times been honest or that it maintained bu, ie the highest integrity. ^ To build the magnificent State House in ,n Columbia, the Democratic Legislature, jj6 in before the war, raised money, by the sale stfi s. of bonds. by [(j As soon as the Democrats were placed in he le power in 1876' these same bonds, to the wj d extent of^tifty per cent, were repudiated. sh< ^ Does not the Stato House stand as a tesjl timonlal, or as a monument to the charac- j le ter of a people who after accepting the xh benefits from grafting would presecuter aft its partners? When the State of South Carolina, pr: either pays the bonds upon which it raised Br the money to build the State House, or J when it tears down [that 'monument that ^ memorial to our own dishonesty in dealIng with widows and orphans, it will then be time enough, for the State to assume holy airs by turning on it even partners in crime. We hope that self-respecting jurors in South Carolina may deal fairly with the little fellows. Because of its greatness, or Its strength, or because the courts are ( its own, furnishes no just ground for allow- ^rj ^ Ing the stronger to oppress the weakor. soi n South Carolina, being a partner in the li- 8hi quor rascality, it should not turn on it ^ weaker copartners after accepting its ma share of the craft. We believe that it is a etc maxim of the law that e those who seek equity must come inot an( s court with clean hands. Are not the to u hands of the State and the hands of the an( k grafters tarred with the same stick? Is one more innocent or more pure than the ?tc k other? The big grafter seems to be pur- civ ,o suing the grafter with a cruelty which is perhaps unprecedented1 The State, wo ,s believe, is as guilty as Black.

Such characters will finally the land in a country whose dreary wastes uuu v have and never will be blessed with the mei presence of a little child, because children mei I never go to hell.
