A GOOD TOWN Prof, Edgar Long was down from Due West yesterday, he brought the news that the people in that good town were still peaceful and prosperous. He told us thifc the old Town Council went out of office last week, and that a new set of officers took ' the places of those whose terms had expired. In a period of one year not a single infraction of the Taw had been charged against anybody. There had been no fighting, no disorderly conduct, no swearing (although there is a printing office in the town) no gambling, no turkey-stealing and no body had exceeded the speed-limit. And Due West has no policeman either. All of this speaks well for what Capt. Billy Smith was accusfn pall t.hf? Holv CitV. Not many other places, if any, can sho^ a record like this.?Abbeville Press / and Banner. The above is from a recent issue of the Abbeville Press and Banner. And just to think that Editor Greene of the Press and Banner and Elder Hemphill of the Spartanburg Journal had the nerve to suggest that Erskine college should be moved from a town like this. j This statement is but further confirmation of what we have said all alone: that Due West was an ideal town for a college, and as a seat of learning it has no equal on the globe.1 Can you name another town with such excellent environment and where the atmosphere for law and| order is so pure as in this good town' of Due West. How could you then I even entertain the suggestion that the Erskine college should even think for a moment of changing its location even though you should throw millions of dollars in the coffers? They ' could not even compare or stand for r. moment in the balance with such a era i/ot do rare /Ac heed but tt "Preparednes citizen who in ".he future cor family.

We know that i Editor Greene would desire that his i' son Bill should be educated in just [ such an atmosphere as may be found at Due West, where there is reveri' ence for law and order and where J there is respect for the things that : are true and beautiful and that ['stand for good honest upright citizenship. Only that more of our col[ leges and higher institutions of learn ing were set amid such surroundings 'an denvironments. It would mean ' more for the citizenship of our State. ' What makes a good town? It is! 'not numbers, nor wealth nor learn-; ing mainly. But the integrity and] the honesty and the manhood and thej ! womanhood that is true and pure ' and that live in the fear of the Lord and obey and follow. His precepts and 1 do the things which are right and ' proper to be done.?Newberry Herj aid and News. ABBEVILLE LONG AGO I The Greenwood Index-Journal pub, lished an article from the Press and i ' I Banner of May, 1884, which gives a , review of the history of Abbeville I from 1859 to 1884 as taken from the files of the paper Of course the items are short but some of them very interesting. In fact all of them are interesting to some persons. What would interest one may not interest another, but there will be some one interested in all of the items of the long ago. We have had in mind for some time of doing the same thing for Newberry. We have the files of the newspapers published in this town back to 1849 or along about that tta?. Our labor for many years has' been so exacting that we have not had time for this sort of work, but now that two of the Aull boys are with us and have relieved us of many J-jivpn work ? \t wfcp rnpri; gg b?C * Prepare " 0 is" is the slogan of th? pi tends to provide for nfort of himself and a savings account |m < will not be borrowing j "K ey at a later date, w liiw mmwrwwwwwr c forS\] sycc?E J?^ nTOHHHKtBannHBBBBC o: g ICE! j n e land to sell ' >NE or WIRE ?
