each one of those boys and girls letter
and if fIknewt they would getitand read
til would. I would like to help them
and encourage them. would like tosay
something to them that would lift
them up and elevate their ideas Of life
and ifs responsibilities. It will be
long before they will be met face to
face with the stern realities of life. 7
hope that they will ali make good and
useful citizens and lead honorable
lives.
After only one days stay l re-
turned home. I talked to good many
of the citizens of that community. I
found some Of them very much put
out. They wanted some egg nog for
| the holiday season and they did not
think it absolutely necessary to get the
f1avoring article from the State dram
shop, so they sent an order of for it
and one of the States spies hauled in
their essence at Seneca. They were
angry for sure. They felt that their
liberties and their rights as free Ameri-
cans, as well as their money, had been
taken away from them. I told them
that was reform and the people wanted
reform 80 they must not kick. I didn't
know how else to console them.
Ifyou want to go from here to Edge
field Court House it is like taking a
trip around the world.
/ I bad to make the trip short time
ago. In Columbia T meet Mr.. T. A.
Rice apd his bride. He is known to
many Newberry people and is now
living at or near Trenton. Mr. Sam
Young is also there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rice travelled as far as Trenton with
Inc. .
| At Trenton I had a three hours
wait. I found Newberry man living
There. DR.. T. J. Hunter has been there
for three years and I was glad to have
a chat with him, and to find that he is
doing well. He Is one of the city
| fathers, and has a good and increasing
practice.
Capt. Tom. Greneker is still running
the train between Edgefeld and Au-
gusta.
Edgefeld seems to be taking on new
life. New houses have been built, and
if we could just get the Three Cs built
from Newberry to Augusta there might
be good future for Edgefeld.
I saw Brothers Bacon, of the Chron-
| icle, and Adams of the Advertiser, and
they seem to be getting on very well.
But scarcely know Town IN the
State that has come out and built up
| in the last few years as has old Abbe-
Vile.
lived there for ten months about
twelve years ago. During that time
don't think I heard the sound of a
hammer on new house. Now there
are new houses going up on all sides,
and 50 many new ones have been
erected that you would scarce recog-
nize it as the same town.
The old school house has been torn
down and an elegant and modern build
ing stands on the spot. The Presby-
| terians, Methodists, A. R. Presbyte-
rians and Catholics have all built new
and elegant church buildings. The
! Presbyterian church is one Of the
handsomestin in the State. It is beauty
and cost $4,000. 4
Abbeyille seems to be the home of
judges. It was the home of Judges
| Wsrdlaw and Thompson. Then Judge
Coehran lives there, and Judge Nc
Gowan. And the reformers have not
sighted her, for from here hail Judges
Gary and Benet. Judge Benet, how
ever, will move away.
The G. C. & n. Railroad has done
nauch to build up Abbeville. And
those vestibuled trains on that road
are beauties. What pity Newberry
let that road pass around her.
At Greenwood I found the people
still hopeful for the new county. They
say it will come at the next session.
The woods seem to be literally full Of
travelling men now. AtAbbeville they
say the hotel gave supper to about
hundred and when I got to Greenwood
I was crowded out and could not get
room at the hotel.
- met here DR.. r. B. Epting, for
merly of this county. He enjoys
large practice and the good opinion Of
the people of the town. 1t is a pleas
ure to Newberrian to find Newberry
boys always at the front wherever one
goes.

Well, I have filled about enough
space. I don't know that I have ae-
complished any good, but hope I
have done no harm.
