Mesdames M. T. Coleman, Frank B.
Gary and W. P. Greene appeared be
fore the Council and requested that
the Council donate a sum to help de
fray the expenses of entertaining the
Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs.
Coleman stated that she thought it
was a good advertisement for the City
to have such organizations meet here,
that many cities voted certain sums j
annually for the entertainment of such ,
meetings and that if the Council j
agreed with her that they would ap- j
preciate any amount they saw fit to
give. After discussing the question it

til the regulations adopted by the
American association could be secured.
Supt. of Water and Light Plant '
Superintendent Anderson made his
report for the month of April which
showed a profit of something over
$400 for the month. A petition was
nrpspntfifl Council, signed by practi
cally every business man in the City
urging Council to retain Mr. Anderson
as Superintendent of the Pl^nt. Ac
tion was deferred until the next reg
ular meeting. The Council has under
consideration the question of moving
the headquarters of the Department
to the City Hall but it appears that
this will be impracticable.
The Council, at this meeting, placed
an order for 300 feet of hose for the
Fire Department.
Insurance Rates
Mayor Gambrell, as chairman of the
committee to confer with representa
tives of the Southeastern Tariff Asso
ciation submitted his report. He stat
ed the agents of Association had been
here and agreed on new rates for the
City, which will be published as soon
as possible. The new rates secured by
the Committee will result in quite a
saving to the property holders of Ab
beville. The basis on dwellings will
be reduced from 75 to 65 cents, the
rates on stocks of merchandise will
remain practically the same as now
while the rates on the business build
ings in the city have been very ma
terially reduced. Abbeville will be,
practically on a Second class town
basis when the new rates go into ef
fect. The paid Fire Department is
I largely responsible for the reduction
in ates. If they never put out a fire
and are useful only in saving adjoin
ing buildings the new department will
be worth more than it cost. The new
rates will not affect any existing pol
icies. The citizens committee, R. E.
Cox, chairman, co-operated in the
work with the Council Committee.
Miscellaneous
The City Council authorized the
Mayor to appoint two delgeates to
attend the State Fireman's Tourna
i ment at Rock Hill and to extend the
organization an invitation to come
hpre in 1913.
Plans were submitted by the Sea
board Air Line Railway Company for
widening the roadways on Main and
Vienna streets. The plans were ac
cepted by the Council. The roadway,
on Vienna tsreet, at the Seaboard pas
senger station will be made 38 feet
wide, and on Main street it will be j
made 19 feet wide, besides a side-1
walk on each side.
CHAMPTION ONION KAISER.!
In at least one department of human en
deavor the Hon. W. J. Bryan has a riva
in Abbeville, who bills fair to outstrip his
1 distinguished competitor. Mr. J. L.Hill,
the "champion" onion raiser, who lives
just on the edge of town, has placed on ex
hibition at E. R. Thomson's a selection of
onions that for size and fragrance will
compare favorably with any specimens of
this delectable vegetaDie we nuvo cici
seen. The distinguished Nebrasken had
bettor look well to the laurels of his onion
farm in Texas.
AN OLD COIN.
Mr. J. F. Bradley, county treasurer, has
in his possession a rare coin. It is a 50-cent
piece of the vintage of 1818, the date on
which is quite legible, in fact the entire
surface of the coin bears evidence of the
fact that its owners, past and present,
are not careless in their handling of coin.
Mr. Bradley says the first bid of #1,000,
more or less, takes this rare specimen.
SCHOOL CLOSING.
The Buffalo school, near Handover, will
hold its commencement Friday evening,
May 24. An interesting program has been
prepared for the entertainment of the
patrons and visitors. Prof. White is the
I principal of this school.
