What "Mh Sees and Hears on His
Rounds About the City and Along
Route No. 3.
If Abbeville needs any one tiling more
than another it is a town clock. We have
a beautiful city hall and a handsome town
clock to ring out the hours all through the
day and light would give new life to all,
besides would be an ornament to the city.
Let our up-to-date mayor and his wide
' 1 ? hold
aWllKt? Hllil piu^ i trooi > c luv?? ..?
of this idea and see that Abbeville has a
town clock. What does the Civic League
say? We know l?etweeii the two we should
get what the city needs and could easily
pet. Let all strike for a clock and it will
strike for all.
Mrs. Coleman and lire. McMillan are
expected home this week after a long ab
sence and a most enjoyable visit.
Mr. Hannah, of Rock Hill, spent last
Monday night in the city looking after his
best interests?a pretty young lady on
Magazine Hill.
Many friends welcome Miss I annie Mor
row back to her old home, where she has
been spending her vacation with relatives
and friends. All are glad to see her.
The many friend6 of Miss Kate Marshall
will be glad to know that she i? now able
to visit her friends in the neighborhood.
It was quite a compliment-to Capt. Sy
fan, the polite and attentive conductor on
the Abbeville branch, to give him the two
nice coaches. It shows he has a strong hold
on the head men, and that tiiey have full
confidence in his judgment. He is receiv
ing compliments irom tne i?uies every
day. If all conductors were as polite and
attentive as he, ladies would have no trou
ble in traveling.
Miss ltuth Dunn left yesterday for Mul
lins, S. C., where she will spend sometime
with her sister, Miss Cooper.
Mr. Will Jordan and sister, Miss Lizzie,
were the guests of Major Nance a*id fam
ily last ISaturday.
Miss Lizzie Nance expects to visit her
brother at Lowndesville this week.
The campaign is still ragiig and we
guess by the time they wind up all the
candidates will be "well pV-ked."
Hosts of friends extend kindest congrat
ulations and best wishes to Mr. Sol Rosen
berg and his happy bride, and extend to
both a hearty and most cordial welcome
to Abbeville, the home of Mr. Kosenberg.
He was married on the 10th to Miss Octa

CROCKERY
COL R. W- SIMPSON
DIED IN ATLANTA
Anderson Daily Mail.
Col. R. W. Simpson died in a sanitarium
in Atlanta Thursday morning. His body
was brought to Calhoun Thursday after
nooii, and today was interred in the family
burial ground on the Simpson farm, about
three miles from Pendleton.
Col. Simpson was taken to Atlanta some
time ago. He entered the same sanita
rium that Senator Tillman spent several
weeks in last year. His condition, after
getting to Atlanta, continued to get worse,
and the end came some time Thursday
uiorning.
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
Col. R. W. Simpson was born at Pendle
ton, September 11, 1849. His father was
Hon. R. F. Simpson, an ex-congressman, a j
major in the Creek Indian war. Col. Simp
son is a descendant of the Taliaforo family!
of Virginia and oilier Virginians oi num.
He attended the schoo s of the date and;
graduated from Wofford College in 1801. j
From college he entered the service of the j
Confederate army, enlisting in company A. i
Third South Carolina regiment. It was one
of the first regiments to enter Virginia. |
He served in it between one and two years, i
when, owing to bail health, he was dis-1
charged. After having partially recover
ed his health he joined Maj. Adams' bat
talion of cavalry. He was offered official
positions but declined in every instance on j
account ol poor health.
From 1865 to 1874 Col. Simpson devoted |
himself to agricultural pursuits in Ander-j
son county. In 1874 he was elected to the
legislature, and the next year was admitted
to the bar. He was re-elected to the legis
ture in 1876, and was one of the seven mein-1
bers who, in 1876, broke down the house of
representees while the radical house yras
in session, and led the Democrats in. He
was one of the most active spirits of that
revolution which restored the state to I
white rule. He was a member of what I
was known as the "Wallace House" in time j
yt HkwIhuI |pirisln.tiire and was locked up!
with it for four days and nights. As chair-1
man of the ways and means committee he
rendered valued services to the state when j
the radicals were doing all in their power j
to bankrupt the state. He remained in the
legislature until 1880, and since that time
took no active part in state politics.
Since 1882 lie has devoted himself to the
practice of law.
When in the legislature Col. Simpson be
gan an active light to get a collegc. estab
lished for the poor boys of the state.
He labored industriously for the accom- j
pllshment of this purpose, and his efforts j
iu this direction proved successful. He |

Ciemson, founder of Clemson College, and
son-in-law of John C. Calhoun. After the
death of Mr. Clemson he was made exe
cutor of his estate, and was the defendant I
in the celebrated case of Lee vs. Simpson, I
which involved the entire Clemson proper-1
ty. When the board of trustees of the col-1
lege was organized he was elected president!
and held that position until a few years
ago when he voluntarily resigned. Hej
took a personal interest in the establish
ment of the college, and did much to make ;
it a success.
Col. Simpson was a member of the Meth- j
odist church, and had takeu 30 degrees in
Masonry.
On February, 10, 18G3. Col. Simpson was
rnariied to Miss. Marie Louise Garlington.

Building' and Loan Association of Abbe
ville 011 July 20th, 1012.
Every well organized and well conduct
ed Building and Loan has two ambitions: ;
one to leach men to save, the other to help
them to own their homes.
Our Association started business live
years ago with #500, today our assets run
up to $50,000. This amount has been got
ten by small monthly payments from our
stockholders?a good many paying $1 per
month aiul tin? majority paying uum -tj
to $10.
The only way to nceuniulate any sum of
i money is by systematic saving. The man
| who savtfc $10 this month ami ?25 next
month and then misses several will never
yet ahead. Hut if you put aside a definite
amount each month it will soon amount to
a neat sum.
Suppose you take ten shares of stock
with us on July 20th, y?u will pay in $10 '
per month for 80, months, making: $<<00
you have saved. In that time the Asso
ciation will have made #200 on this for you
and we will pay over to you #1,000.
With this amount, you can make some
pood investment for yourself, while it!
would have been hard for you to invest j
at a time in a paying proposition.
To make money last save it first.
Our other ambition is for home build- :
ing. We are now^helping 50 citizeus ofj
Abbeville to pay for their homes by easy
monthly payments.
Every man should own his home. It!
makes him a better citizen. The man who j
pays rent is restless and careless, while j
the home owner is interested in every- j
thing about the place.
With very little more put aside each
iiRtnth than you pay rent, you can pay for j
your home and in a short time become an
independent home owner.
Our Associstion is purely local, we leud
only on real estate iu Abbeville township,
and it is managed by nine directors who'
have the interest of Abbeville at heart.
We are doing a safe and prosperous
business, and will be irlad to help you as '
we are now helpUitf others.
Remember the next series will bo issued j
July 20th.
