Perils of Aeronautism.

the last twenty-five years, no less than
300 aeronauts, amateur and professional,
have been killed or drowned during as

about this. The aeronauts were killed
or drowned Just after their ascensions.

what our people make it-and no more.
A portion Of our people are doing all that
it is possible for them to do to build up the
town, but from the nature of things, there are
number of our citizens without constant
and regular employment. There is but little
doing in their special lines of trade, and they
must adapt themselves to the circumstances
and facts which confront them. The times
change, and we must change with them.
The new railroad will put no money into
any idler's pocket. 1t may furnish work. OF

people, and thus Indirectly benefit them.

has ever been full supply of brick, we dc

We have clay, water. wood, and elbow grease

Blowing the Town.

We have heard some comment on our arti-
Gle OF last week in which we took a more
hopeful view of the future Of Abbeville.
That article only reflected the sentiment
which we had heard on the streets. When
we hear capitalists and shrewd business men
tlk Of buying lands in the incorporate linn
It's, and houses on the public square, for
speculative purposes we are obliged to
believe that there Is better feeling among
our people as to the possibilities Of Abbevlle.
When we know of families coming here, and
when we hear Of investors from distant parts
looking after our most desirable real estate,
we are further inclined to the opinion that
the advantages which Abbeville presents are
being appreciated abroad. The new railroad
that is destined to be one of the most impor.
tant highways In the State will bring Abbe'
vile to the front, when all her possibilities

Some Reasons for Taking a Newspa'
Der.


When the desire to receive mail matter is
almost universal, and when the citizen feels q
degree of humiliation at being told that there
is no mail matter for him, is it not strange
that so many people fail to subscribe for a
newspaper
Newspapers can be had by the year, from
one dollar up to the higher priced papers
daily or weekly, and it would seem that, If
neither the citizen nor his family received
any benefit at all from q newspaper, that he
would subscribe for paper OF some sort,
rather than subject himself to the mortifca-
ton OF being told dozens of times that he had
no mail. Every citizen in this country
should either go or send 10 the postoffice once
newspaper.
Abbeville county has been regarded as one
Of the most intelligent counties in the State,
and while there are many white citizens who
take number Of newspapers, yet there are,
as matter of fact, some white families in
which no newspaper Is taken. We presume
that the stronger in contemplating the char
acter of our people, would be slow to believe
that any white family in Abbeville county
was denied the benefit Of a newspaper, yet
the fact is susceptible of proof that there are
large per cent. who do not subscribe for any
newspaper.
On the hand, let us look to the facts in re-
gard to the colored people. We think it q
notorious fact that the colored people make
twice as many calls at the postoffice at Able
willie as do the white people. We believe that
the colored people are answered about ninety
nine times out of a hundred with, Nothing
for YOU While there Is not white man on
the face Of the earth who does not experience
something OF a disappointment at getting no
mail, the colored mans modification and
disappointment is so great that he is ready to
accuse the postmaster Of keeping back his
letters. To save all such disappointments, If
for no other or higher reason, let every man
subscribe for newspaper of some sort.
For such citizens as are unable TO take the
local papers, good paper may be had from a
distance for seventy-Gve cents or a dollar u
year.
At Abbevile there are some twelve or fif-
teen coored men who take perhaps twenty
papers. Isn't that an exceedingly poor show
ing? Can any people ever attain any consid-
erable degree Of Intelligence who do not take
newspapers?
If we are to judge every community Of col
ored people by Abbeville village, we think 1t
might be sent down as fact, that they take
almost no newspapers.
