MEN OF ABBEVILLE.
At the first call to arrha three sons
of Abbeville \ offered their services
to their couhtry. Gottlob Neuffer,
Paul B. Kennedy and W. D. Wilkinson
have shouldered their gnns and
gone to the front These young gentlemen
are but boys. Two of them occupied
a few days ago responsible
positions, the other was a school boy,
at home on his vacation.
But when duty called they answered,
because they are made of the
mettle of which soldiers are made.
GOTTLOB NEUFFER is a son of
Dr. G. A. Neuffer, of this city. His
mother was Miss Annie Hemphill.
His grand-father was Gen. Robert R.
Hemphill, a soldier of the Southern
cause, who, when at the age of his
grandson offered his life for Southern
rights and who was in the thick
of the fight until Lee surrendered.
PAUL B. KENNEDY is a son of
*the late J. R. Kennedy, who as sheriff
of Abbeville county, lost his life
doing his duty. His paternal grandfather
was John Kennedy, a soldier,
too, of the Southern cause. His
grand-father on his nlother's side of
the house was the late George A.
Hanvey, of this county, who also
worthily wore the gray.
W. D. WILKINSON come3 of true
men too. His father was too young
for the war, but his grand-father,
John Wilkinson, saw service in Mexi,
co in 46-48. He was a member of
the Palmetto regiment, and fought
for his country in all the big battles
around Mexico City. His grandfather
on his mother's side of the
house, was Capt. W. D. Mann, a confederate
soldier, as cool as the coolest
and as brave as the bravest.
snerman spoKe tne trutn wnen ne
said that War is Hell, but when the
country calls, the citizens must, respond.
Abbevlle has always responded,
and her men have always, been
where the bullets were the thickest
and the fighting the hardest. And
if it becomes necessary that these
boys see service, Capt. Gossett will
I find the Abbeville members of his
Machine Gun Company animated
witn tne spirit 01 tne men irom
whom they come, and ready to do
^their duty.
We take off our hats to them!
They were boys yesterday. They are
men today.
SOME THOUGHTS IN PASSING
If there are any candidates "hurting
for a fight" we would remind
them that war is on in Mexico.
c There is consolation is knowing
that the City Council has not passed
an ordinance forbidding our brave
boys from wearing these new striped
shirts.
We hope that all the Cooper 'men
in Abbeville county will not be here
today. We dislike anything like a
love feast at a campaign meeting.
We want to see the other candidates
have a good time, and we ask the
Cooper boys who arer here, to give
them the glad hand.
Sinpp it has hpen Hefinifplv asppr.
tained that Hughes is a Baptist, we
predict that the republicans will
greatly increase the vote for their
candidate in South Carolina, especially
in the Sweet Water section of
Aiken county.
Dale Barksdale and Uncle Jim did
not attend services any where on
Sunday. They are looking for their
new pastor this week, and from now
on they will look solemn every day.
They therefore concluded to take a
day off before the pastor got here.

COOPER STOCK RISING. io
to
Some days before the campaign n<
jened The Anderson Intelligencer ^
xpressed the view that Cooper stock ^
-as on the decline, and that Mr.
ooper's friends thought he should
?tire from the race. The editor aj
f the Intelligencer was no doubt .
illy convinced that he was right in JL
mt op.nion. The trouble with ?im.
owever, was tfcat nenaci Deen reaa- _
ig the Manning newspaper bois;-irs. {
id had ? ot been sounding the great
asses j* thir' ing people f nis -1
>unty. ; G<
The Intelligencer has #een fair to
le candidates since the campaign
pened, and has given, in our judgient,
the best and most accurate re- th
arts of any of the papers we have Ik
;ad. It is evident from reading se
le reports as contained in . that pa- an
er, as well as in others, that Cooper ft
?ck is rising. It seems to be con- nc
eded, that Cooper was the favorite hi
l Spartanburg and in Greenville. ft
x-Governor Blease seems to have al
ad the better of the argument in ft
ickens so far as the crowd was m
oncerned. We are able to express
o opinion on the Oconee meeting, fa
at when the candidates reached be
nderson it became apparent that pi
ooper stock was still rising. a
It should be remembered that p*
overnor Manning and Mr. Blease d<
ave every advantage of Mr. Cooper ai
t this section so far as getting their sc
iends to these meetings. A ai
reater percentage of Governor si<
tanning's friends live in the towns ec
ad cities than in the rural districts; tli
ad the greater proportion of Mr. ut
lease's friends are in the industrial
immunities and in the towns, while b<
lie Cooper strength in this section w
largely in the country. Just now "W
te Cooper men are busy with their hi
rops and cannot attend the meet- w
tgs generally. Therefore, we should
ot have been surprised had Gover- pi
or Manning and Mr. Blciase made pi
much better showing as regards us
le crowds attending the meetings be
lan they have made, and we have A:
een more than agreeably surprised su
tat Cooper has developed so much sb
length among those who might to
ave been favorable x to the other of
indidates. It all goes to show that ro
le people want a man of sound and is
iscriminating judgment, a man who m
not a partisan, one who will treat ec
rery man in the state as a true son w<
f South Carolina, and a man who be
t willing to make the fight on his pu
wrn merits. th
he Spartanburg Journal, which had sc
[ready expressed the opinion that li|
tr. Cooper would be in the second gi

GOOD ROADS.
One da? this week we passed over
ree or four miles of so-called pub:
road in this county. The road
rves the people of a neighborhood/
id the public has no interest in it
irther than its interest in the
sighborhood. But the neighbored
is a good one. Good people
ire along the road, and the lands
ong the road are valuable. The
irmera in that section are good farers.
We believe, therefore, that these
raters and these rood neonle would i
s. willing for the county to approiate
enough of their lands to build
road on which two vehicles could
188 safely, which cannot now be
me/ We believe that people who
e prospering themselves like to
e the county affairs in good shape,
id most all of the people who re*
de in the country and are compell1
to use these roads should desire
tat they be built so as to mpke them
teful to the neighborhood.
But we found that the county has
sen spending money on this road,
hich is not ten feet wide in places.
rith every rain, whatever of work
is been done just before, is labor
asted.
The legislative delegation should
is3 some legislation which would
ohibit the county authorities from
ing public money on such roads,
scause it is nothing short of waste,
ad until they do this the county
ipervisor and sub-supervisors
ould pass a rule that no roads are
be worked connecting the people-'
' a neighborhood with a public
ad unless twenty-five feet of land
appropriated for the purpose of
aking a road which may be travelL
We are opposed to the public
irking neighborhood roads at all,
it if they are to be worked by the
iblic, which is now the policy of
e county authorities, (at least to
>me'extent), some degree of inteljence
should bey employed with reu-d
thereto in order to save the
unty from loss.
