It Looks Like Business,

The Western Carolina Land and I'M
provement Company seems fully deter
mined to carry out its undertaking in the
way of building up large commercial
center where the G. G. & N. crosses the
p. R. & W. G. r. r. in Abbeville County,
near the Savannah River. Contracts for
the survey and plating of the town are
closed and when completed will be in
keeping with the most modern town in
the land, and no pains nor money will be
spared to make it the most desirable and
attractive city in the State. A survey OF
the river is also being made for the pur-
pose of locating several large cotton mills,
which will be pushed very rapidly. Keep
your eye on the developments Of this new
enterprise, which is bound to be crowned
with success on account of its great natu-
raj resources and the earnestness Of the
promoters to carry out the undertaking
successfully.

ReltOn Itcnlg.

Our town was thrown into deep sorrow
last Thursday on receipt of the news of
the death of Mr.. L L McGee, which took
place at Greenwood Mr.. McGee was the
eldests son. of Mr.. G. W. MCGEE, of this
place, and resided here until the first Of
this year, when he moved to Darlington.
He was a member of fcurishing mer-
camille firm in that city. About month
ago he came up the country to improve
his health, but the germs Of typhoid fever,
contracted from wet cellar, had already
possessed his system. Three weeks before
his death he was taken down, and, not
loving hands could do, gradually grew
worse until his death on the 21st. Els
body was brought to Bolton Friday morn
ing, and his funeral was held from the
Baptist Church Friday afternoon before
large audience. Rev. Chas. Manly, D. D..
conducted the services, preaching from st.
John II: %: 'tThe Master is come, and
calleth for thee" Mr.. MCGEE was 81 years
Of age. He was a successful business
man, true citizen, kind.hearted gen.
tleman, and loYing husband. BE leaves
q wife and three children. His bereaved
family has the sympathy of a wide circle
Of friends.
Mr.. Ernest McGee, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, and Mr.. and Mrs. Charley McCul-
Tough, of Darlington, attended the funeral
oftheir brother.
The election last Friday passed off with
no excitement. The Tillman Club polled
1913 votes. When it was organized few
weeks ago they enrolled 17G names. This
makes shortage Of 50. There is Club
not many miles from here that, we are
told, sent delegates to the County Conven-
ton to represent a membership of $50,
and at this election polled 70 votes What
does this mean? Where is the shortage?
Have the people awoke to the fact that
there is another ring" than the one they
have been told about by Capt. Tiilman,
and that they have been ''bamboozled? ?"
Mr.. Beattie Gossett spent several days
last week with friends in town. He has
returned from visit to New York, Bos
ton and other Northern cities. He goes to
Anderson this week, where he has been
employed as salesman by G. F. Jones &

words to the Commissioner in regard to
having the creeks cleaned out, especially
Three.and-Twenty. 1t seems that this
creek needs cleaning out and nobody to
do it. !, myself, think it should be done.
There are various reasons why it should
be done. One ls, that if it is not done, it
will perhaps cause a great deal Of sick
ness, and another is that cattle can live
done cleaned out. Well, it may have
been cleaned out once, but please remen-
Der that one cleaning won't do always.
There are people from all over the County
who come to this creek to fish and sein,
and on account of 80 much water in the
way they cannot get to the right fishing
ground. You, Mr.. Commissioner, may
come up here to fish some time, and if
the creek is not cleaned you may get sorter

cast their votes.
