WILL THIS BE ABBEvILLE?
1t is Said That We are to Have an
Express Office in Town, With Free
Delivery.


Express Office in Town, With Free
Delivery.
Mr.. c. v. Hammond, who has been in the
employ of the c. & G. Railway for thirty
years, has resigned the agency of the Able
willie depot, to take charge OF the express of.
ice which will be in the store room in which
his harness shop now Is on the public square,
His resig gnation is TO take effect on the Goth of
November, II agreeable TO the Railroad Com
pany, but certainly on the lst Of December.
When the express Office is established eX-
press freight will be delivered free of drayage
TO the business houses in town.
Mr.. Hammond will handle express freight
on both roads.
The establishment of an express office on
the public square will be great convenience
TO the public, for which we may thank the g.,
C.&N.
We are not informed who will succeed Mr..
Hammond as agent at this depot, but we be-
lieve the Railroads have q system Of promo
tions, and it Is therefore quite likely that
some man already in the employ of the road
will get the place.
The system of promotion obtains with the
G., c. Y. and we will have at that depot an
experienced man from some other place.
The system OF promotions is good one,
and stimulus TO worthy and struggling
young men TO strive for the higher Offices.
IT is alike beneficial to employer and EN-.
ployee.
We learn that Mr.. T. w. Coogler, operator at
this place, has applied for tile place which
Mr.. Hammond will vacate We know moth
ing az to whether or not he will get the place.

I'm Memory of w. Courtney McGee.

1t Is always mournful pleasure to pay the
last tribute Of respect and affection to the
dead, especially to those whose lives are
worthy examples and who deserve more than
O passing notice. And so, when the an
nouncement was made on the 3rd of this
month that W. Courtney MCGEE was dead,
many heart was swept by those briny
waves of anguish that roll DER the ocean OF
and toss all emotions on the rockiest
shores OF bereavement. But death loves o
shining mark" ana our friend has been laid
away in silent slumber, and eyes, which once
cleaned with soul.lit radiance, are lustreless
now in the graves deep sleep; hands which
never gave treacherouS clasp, are folded In
nerveless clasp across bosom which never
nursed thought that was not pure and no.
Yes, our friend is dead. and not until the
belfry of eternity shall toll out the funeral OF
Time, will we behold him again. And though
this dark ocean OF bereavement Is now
with blackest clouds, yet we see up
on It's bosom the bright rainbow Of comfort
and consolation, for we read In It's iridescent
tintings the cheering lines of the sweet assur.
ance, "God doeth all things we'll" In his
death our neighhorhood has sustained the
loss of one of It's best and most worthy young
men. He bscame member OF Walnut Grove
church at the age of ~ years, and was a de.

He graduated at Erskine College in 1888, an
taught High school in Edgefield county dur.

sick, and until his sad death was great suf
ferer from that dread disease consumption
which had laid It's blighting hand upon him.
He had begun life full Of promise, and bid
fair 10 become good and useful man and was
the light and Joy of home and fond parents
hearts, which never again can be cheered and
made glad by his cheerful voice.
Alas! that death should lie upon him like
an untlmely frost, and blight for this life, bis
young manhood! We trust his freed spirit
has reached the pearly shore, and has Joined
that happy heavenly band and strolls to-day
through glory-land. The night bird wi II sing
a lone requiem. while the mellow moonbeami
will fall gently athwart his peaceful place OF
rest, while his spirit gladly roams thr ough the
sweet fields Of Eden, the eternal paradise ol
God
Where no chilling winds,
Nor poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore.
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
With these few thoughts we leave our friend
to the precious hush Of that sweet rest, from
which he will arise to the glories OF the blest

Tribute to Memory OF David Moral

AT the meeting OF the Board of Trustees OF
Lethe institution, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, since our last meeting death has
removed one of our number, David Morrah
after many years of active service as Trustee
Of Lethe institution, and the survivors desire
to express their sense Of the loss sustained by
them as Board and personally.
Be 1t resolved. that In the death of David
Morrah this Institution has sustained severe
loss, and the Board has been deprived OF the
services of one whose earnest zeal for the in
tercst OF the institution, and whose sound
Judgment in the direction of Its affairs has
made him a useful and valued member.
.. That by the death Of David Morrah the
county has lost valued citizen, and the com.
munity an esteemed and useful member.
8. That we tender to his family our sincere
sympathy with them in their great loss, and
that the Secretary do furnish them with q
copy of these resolutions, and that they be
published in the county papers.

The Father Of the New Railroad.

1t is not strange for father to have many
children, but it Is passing strange how many
fathers claim the honor Of the paternity of
the G., c. d Y. Road.
In Abbeville county alone there are perhaps
not less than dozen men who claim that
highway as their own offspring.
Greenwood, we are sure, has not fewer than
flve-and perhaps many more.
Abbeville has her full share-one of whom
is the editor Of the Press and Banner.
A visitor at the recent banquet, put in
his claim of paternity,-and a note was m made
of the claim.
Several other counties are yet to hear from.
1t is not improbable that there are some orig
inators, founders, or builders OF the road ut
Chester, Elberton, Athens, and other points.
When Mr.. Robinson is heard from we
should not be at all astonished, If he too did
not put in some claim to the paternity of the
great road.
There being so many claimants for the hon.
or we shall not pretend to decide the question
before all the claims are put in, and all the
towns are heard from.
Under the circumstances then, we think II
we'll to let each one 60 on thinking he had ev-
erything to do with it, even II historians
should conclude to mention Mr.. Robinson's
name with 1t.
Candidly speaking, We do not understand
how any one of US did more than attract at
tention to a route on WHICH there was a de.
mand for road.
All the voting and vociferating we could do
didn't build the Cumberland Gap road, and
will never build 1t, on the contemplated route
over the mountains. There isn't money and
property enough in all of Abbeville county to
build five miles OF railroad across the impen-
etrable Pink Beds Of the mountains.
OF the $4,000, 600 that will be spent to build
the G., c. & N. Road, we haven't paid a cent
although we have promised small sum.
That small sum wasn't enough to build the
bridge across Long Cane, or even to grade and
trestle the road in the corporate limits OF the
town.
The fact is, that there arose demand for
the road, and with the creation of that de-
mand the towns Of Abbeville, Green wood,
Chester, and other places had about as much
to do as did the man in the moon. As'well
give the founders Of the towns credit for wis
dom in selecting sites on the route, as to give
the routes credit for buildingit. The fact that
Abbevi!le, and not Due West, is on the road is
aquestion OF geography-only this, and moth.
ing more.
