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

environment as you admit is to be*
found in this town. 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

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 ?
