ANOTHER COTTON MILL. 1
(
Some little time ago we advised our,
(
readers that Abbeville should havej ,
another cotton mill. Probably the j
present is rot the time to begin the'
actual building of a mill, buc now isL
the time to agitate the question, and i'
I I
to commence the proper movement to
raise money to build the mill. Cotton I
ig grown in the south. The raw pro-1 {
duct of/the South must be manufactured
and the place to manufacture1
this cotton is where it is grown. We
grow it.
I i
Several suggestions have been ^
made in the last few days about this *
matter, and numbers of our citizens],
11
are interested in the movement. Weir
have just gotten out of the great
war, and we have learned that wei
s
can raise all kinds of money. We^
can raise enough to build another:
mill here, if the people will become
generally interested in the work.
We have no one in view to take
charge of the mill. Some names *
have been mentioned. Some of the t
men suggested as proper persons to 1
be put at the head of the enterprise,' r
are good men for the position. But
' we are not particularly interested in!
any of them. We would be interest-'
ed solely in securing the proper man
to head the enterprise.
There is one thing we would s%y,|however,
and that is that if a man
ia to be sought' outside of the city,!
we should not expect him to bring
i.
money here and build a mill for the,1
? benefit of this community. The com-j
munity must show an interest in the | J
building of the mill, and until ourj J
people are willing to raise a consid-! *
erable sum of money for this pur-|'c
pose we need not expect outside
capital to come to Abbeville. {
The time has come for this town <
to throw aside its lethargy and get
busy. The opportunity is at hand. 1
Will the people act? 1

OLD ALMANACKS.
' i
Reading last week that Col. Roche
had found some old papers which
carried him back to the long ago, ?
Colonel William Henry Sharp, . of
the Santuc section, decided that he t
would hunt up something showing ;
the happening of events when he 1
was a boy. Accordingly he has j
brought us a bunch of old almanacs, (
then spelled almanacks, running
from 1805 up to 1820, or therea- j
bouts, by which time Col. Sharp had s
grown to be a good sized boy. i
The first of these almanacks is for; j
the vear 1805. as stated. Its nameli
19 "Bounetheau's Town and Country >
Almanack for Carolina and Geor- t
gia." The first pages of this alma- (
nack are missing, but from those re- .]
maining, we have ail the informa- i
tion about the days of the months, (
and the months in the year, with the
information which is usual even at c
this day about the great events which
have happened on the days as they !
come. There are also predictions of
"Thunder and Lightning," "Some
Rain May Now Fall," or "Snow Expected,"
or "Clearing with Westerly
Winds." There is also, much infor-!
mation about the movement of plan-|c
ets, about the "Rising, Setting and, 1
Southing of the Stars," and other |
like information.
In the back of the almanack is in- ?
formation of all kinds. We have Dr. ^
James Malone's Receipt for a Cold," ?
Rates of Pilotage, Interest Tables, J
the values of gold coins of foreign ?
powers, a Cent and Mill Table, show- S
ing the value of English Money in
our coins, ? Table for Ascertaining t
the time for high water at num- '
bers of/places along the Atlantic c
coast, a Depreciation Scale of Con- c
inental Curretu-y, a DoPnr Tal.le
ihowing the value of the currencies ^
>f the different states throughout the:
jnited States, a verse of poetrv and
:o on.
There is also copicd an Edict Ajainst
Duelling, issued by Phramond^
King of the Gauls, at his court at
31ois, on Feby. 28th, 420.
Thomas Jefferson Is given as the
President of the United States, and
;he other executive officers of the
ation are given. John Marshall was
:he Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, and among,
.he Associate Justices is William
Johnston, of South Carolina. The
District Officers of the United States,'
:he members of the Diplomatic of-j
icers of the United States, and the
foreign Ministers to the United
States are given also.
Following these are the names of J
ihe State and County officers in!
South Carolina. James B. Richard-j
;on is Governor, and there is a list,
>f other state officers, executive and'
iudicial. Following this we note'
haf. .Tamps Warrllaw was clerk of I
:ourt for Abbeville, and D. Wardlaw, j
Sheriff, while Andrew Hamilton i
leld the office of Ordinary. Abbe:lle
had no coroner then so far as
he almanack shows. Then follows
;he dates for holding courts, names
>f the Staff of Militia for South
Carolina.
Following this we note that a man
lamed Mr. Roche had taken out a
jatent in England for a new remedy
?or Whooping Cough, spelled then
looping Cough. The Roches have
ilways been good judges of medi:ines
for coughs. The medicine is
i ? i ? i 1? _ _ J_*
;tatea to De an external application
nade of essential oils, which is to
1 rubbed on at the pit of the stomich
about bed. time.
The names of the city officers of
Charleston are given. We notice
hat at that early day Charleston
lad a "dispensary," of some kind,
md from the number of commission's,
we think it must have been of
he proper kind. Evidently the arti:le
to be dispensed did not hold out,
>ecause we find Charleston later
nuch opposed to an institution of
his kind. The school master in
Charleston was Moses Sanford, and
he School Mistress, Ann Bowles. It
s not stated whether she continued
o hold office or resigned.
There is- also some learning on
lorticulture, followed by a few
okes, in which an Irishman figures,
vith a receipt for Dysentery and an>ther
for 'ring-worm.
The post-towns in South Carolina
ire given as Cambridge, Columbia
Hamden and Cheraw Court House.
There is other information, but
:his will suffice to show that those
vere times, when Col. Sharp ( was a
)oy.
\RISTOCRATS IN "OFF YEARS."
From The Observer, of Newberry
;his paragraph is taken:
"The flu is said to have attacked
;he United States first in Boston and
South Carolina first in Abbeville.
k ll Ml J A _ ? Xl. _ J A- J-t- _ A.
inotner illustration 01 tne iact mat
aristocracy is being knocked out
jverywhere these days."
This accusation against Abbeville
nay be safely brought by The Observer
in 1919. Ever the understandng
has been that all the people of
Abbeville are Aristpcrats; we have
cnown many an Abbeville man who
vould fight at the slightest sugges;ion
to the contrary; but would our
:ontemporary dare say so much in
ranuary, 1920? In that year a primiry
election will be held in South
Carolina.
Do not the Aristocrats all move
>ut of Abbeville in election years?
All counties of South Carolina are
ike Abbeville.?The State.
DR THAI MrRC wAnnnisi
Our people will be glad to know
hat Dr. Chalmers Haddon has deeded
to locate in Abbeville and will
)e ready for the practice of his
irofession in a short while.
Dr. Haddon is a graduate of the
southern Dental College of Atlanta,
vhere he took an excellent stand
imong the many young men present.
Since graduation he has passed suc:essfully
the State Boards of both
south Carolina and Georgia.
Dr. Haldon will have his offices in
he Phoenix Realty Building over
Cochran's Store, and will have one
' I
if the moat modern and up-to-date
>ffices in the up country. He has
t
purchased an Xray machine which
will be of great assistance to him.
Dr. Haddon is "one of our boys,'1
mng man of high character anc
will merit the confidence and the
patronage of our people.
