F. S. Evans to run for con gress really hate hini or are using him to, pull out the chestnuts for themselves two J years hence??Anderson Daily Mail. Colonel Evans is one of Congressman j Aiken's staunch friends, and whatever plans others may have laid out for him, we will venture that he has no Congres sional aspirations. Abbeville Sons Loyal. When the question of selecting the route for the trolly, whether to Abbeville or to. Greenwood, was under consideration, the people of Abbeville hoped that tho Influ ence of Mr. Lewis W. Parker and Mr. Auc. j W. Smith, one of whom was on the ex^cu-. live commuiee, wouia give ADoevme some leverage in the decision* Whatever dis appointment this people may have exper ienced in the settlement, it is certain that the two gentlemen named were loyal to their old home in every act and expression in connection with selecting the ronto. In saying this, there is no purpose to convey the idea that these gentlemen stood ont unreasonably for the Abbeville route, and we can not say certainly that a vote was cast for the Abbeville route. This was due, however, rather to the fixed policy of the road to extend directly to ward a given point, and Greenwix>d is more nearly in the line of the probable extension. Mr. Parker and Mr. Smith have both repeatedly stated that they hoped to see the road carried to Abbeville and it is be lieved that their every influence will be used to that end. The matter of branch roads will be taken up as the main line is completed, and when this comes up, no one need doubt that Abbeville has friends at court. Messrs. Parker and Smith no longer have property interests in Abbeville, and their loyalty to and love for their old home is unalloyed by any personal motive. They know in the first place that Abbe ville is one of the best towns in South Car olina, and to extend the road to Abbeville is a good business proposition. On this assurance and with the kindliest spirit lowuru AUUCVltlW HlfbW Kv,iii<3iuc" how from the beginning had the fixed purpose to use thoir influence that a branch road be extended to this city. But Abbeville should nut depend on her sons who have gone out, alone, for her material growth. The task will be easier if the citizens at home will do something for themselves. Highways of traffic seek the places that furnish freight and passen ger business. Abbeville is a town of some live thousand inhabitants. No better mer chants and business men can bo found anywhere. In the surrounding ^ountry, contributory, lands are unexcelled and the farmers are prosperous. There is plenty of wealth in the city. A little more of the spirit of public enterprise is really all that the city needs to bring it abreast with the best towns of the up country. A public spir ited leader could work wonders for Abbe ville. Contradictory as it may seem, the towns that grow nre those which "pull themselves up by their own boot straps." In a previous editorial we cited the fact that ? small town in the upper part of South Carolina, having originally loss tlian 1,000 inhabitants, has built three large cotton mills since the mill was built here. Another mill is a necessity for Abbeville. Her future depends on the promptness JLitJStt iery ing t issue in our ways will be, Up." And if i call we will isfaction that 1 is correct. ivitation to all?to thos s are always looked fo * inspection we have g? with which this fact is realized and acted ] upon.

He also visited Little Rock Buffalo colored school and made a post card picture of the church and school house, showing the comparison . of their line church to the insignificant lit tie school building besides it. In one of S his speeches he said there was a white j church in South Carolina individually sup- . porting a missionary in Mexico when their school building in the community was not 1 comfortable.

Swift, and all-embrcing as has been the sweep of migration and commercialism in California, the traces of the Spanish occu pation have not yet been obliterated. In deed, in some ways, the remnants of the old days have been better preserved than if they had been lift to taeir fate. Strung along El Camino Real from San Diego northward to San Rafael like beads along a roasay are the imposing buildings erect ed by the pious labors of Padres and neo phytes. Many of these wonderful miss ions have been restored and brought to something like their original magnilicence. In time all of them will be rescued from the wasting of neglect, ane the pilgrimage from one to another will become one of the features of the sojurn in the land which has always held a fascination not to be shaken o?f when once it has laid hold of one.
