We believe this will be the first occasion of the kind in Oco nee county, and it should bc made a complete success. We owe a debt of lasting gratitude to the Confederate veteran. For four years ho stood for tho defense of the homos of the South. He fought for the right from a sonso of con scientious discharge of duty. 'Though his banner was furled in defeat, bis honor was preserved unsullied. He was enlisted in a great cause, and those who died facing tho enemy, as well as those who havo passed away during tho inter vening years, merit tho "well done" of all who come aftor them. Occasions of thia kind should bo util ized to impart important lessons to the youth of our land. It is woll to have the cause of the Confederaoy sot forth in its true light with impartial historic accuracy. The whole of tho enlightened world is loaming to honor tho namo of the Confederate soldior, and to appreci ate tho high purposes'which impelled him to saorifice his all upon tho altar of his country. This occasion, in common with others of its kind, can bo iuado to contribute to tho fund of correct infor mation. Tho rolls of tho Confederate dead ?h mihi be preserved, and it is to bo hoped that a roBtor of names of-overy bravo soldier who wont from this soction may be preserved. Only a fow remain to tell the story of their trials and conflicts during thoso four years which tried mon's souls. Though thoir bodies bo bout, thoir gray hairs and vonornblc forms still inspire a sonso of tho heroic dischargo of duty. Though thoir ranks aro hoing steadily thinnod, thoy aro not forgotten. Let this occasion bo mado ono worthy of tho causo which it represents. We would oarnestly urgo upon evory citizen tho importance of being present. No one is so poor that ho cannot afford to give ono day, at least, for the sake of the old soldier;-. Begin at once to plan for it. Lot tho farmer tako ono day off, bring bis wifo aud children, and partici pate in tho exorcisuB. Lot ovorybody attend and contributo a sharo to tho suc cess of tho memorial exercises. PAYS 20 PER CENT FOR FIRST YEAR. Last week wo mado mention of tho groat hench t Abbevillo has rocoived from her furnituro factory in an indirect man ner-that is, by reason of tho employ ment of a largo force of ompioyoes at good wages, who spond with the mer chants of tho town and farmers of the community practically all of thoir earn ings. The statement is mado that "tho monthly pay roll of tho furniture factory exceeds $1,500, tho groator portion of it being turned into tho channols of busi noss through tho local business houses." This is a good investment in itself. By putting $2T>,000 into tho plant the busi ness mon of Abbevillo secure $10,800 annually for tho wage-oarners of tho place-and tho most of it comos back to thora through tho channels of business. But this is not all. Tho Abbovillo cor respondent of Tho News and Courier of May 15, in speaking of tho furnituro fac tory, says: "Tho Hrst annual mooting of tho Abbe villo Furnituro Factory was hold Wednes day. A full and clonr report was mado by Presidont Blako and Clerk Jones of tho general business outlook of tho com pany, all of which was very satisfactory and encouraging. Tho cost of tho fac tory was $26,000, and the report showed that tho profit for tho year was 20 per cont of tho amount invested." The direct benefit to the promoters of tho cute! pi iso is shown by the above paragraph. Abbeville is fortunato in having a plant like this within her bor ders, and she is justly proud of it. Walhalla has many natural advantages that make tho town a particularly attrac tive point for the location of a furniture faotory, and it is to be hoped our busi ness men will give tho matter careful am prompt attention. Such an enterprise would bo of incalculable benefit to tho town and community. Mr. Josoph Pominville, of Stillwater, Minn., after having spent ovor $2,000 with tho best doctors for stomach trou blo, without relief, was advised by his druggist. Hr, Alex. Kiohard, to try a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Ho did so, and is a well man to-day. If troubled with indigestion, bad taste in tbe mouth, lack ot appetite or constipation, give thoso tablet? a trial, and you aro certain to bo moro than pleased with tho result.
