the visit was discouraging. There was no
disposition on the part of the Reedleyites

guarantee of free rights of way from
Fresno to Bakersfield than has vet been
offered, the road will stop at Fresno and
the material now on hand will be used to

The Recent EdgefieId HOmicides.

AS in many cases of killing. the newspa-
Whites by Williams
AS we understand. these gentlemen had had
difficulties, and afterward resorted to CON-
munications In the newspapers. Other than
their offensiveness we do not know the partic'
ulars, nor do we know in which newspaper
the offensive articles appeared.
But as we recollect reading the account Oh
the last difficulty 1t was based on newspaper
articles, and, we believe. but for such puolica-
tions the Whites would be alive today, and
the ugly charge which was made against Will
liams in his dying breath would not be re-
sounding or re-echoing through his ears, nor
would his hands have been stained by blood
In the beginning Of a fuss the fault may all
lie on one side, but If it continues long nelth-
er side is faultless.
In our opinion the angered gentlemen
should not have written offensive pieces about
their enemy or enemies. Such articles do no
good. They seldom injure the party against
whom they are directed, but they more fire.
ouently excite sympathy for the maliened in
dIvidual.
Those whom we regard as more directly re-
sponsible for this unfortunate affairs are the
publishers of the aggravating cause which
brought on the shooting and death.
To publish offensive and insulting com
munications is to degrade true journalism
into personal journalism. According TO our
way of thinking, no editor should leave his
high position as editor to become the purvey-
or of insults, and his newspaper should mol
be allowed to become a slop-bowl for the re-
cep,ion of anybody's filth.

A rail fence was never the sole shell
ter of profitable animals.
Swine shelters are too warm almost
as often as they are too cold.
No shelter is good that does not
keep out moisture above and below.
The sky is durable, but it is the
most expensive roof one can have over
farm animals.
Animals would better have frost on
their hides than foul air in their lungs.
But why have either?
Disease turks in darkness; there's
health in the sunlight. Then, why
have dark shelter when glass is cheap
The best location for a stock shelter
is on a southeast slope. And that is
the best location for the yards.
1t saves work, it saves feed, and it
saves fat and flesh to have the wei, the
feed boxes, the managers, and the
shelters close together.
With their feet in filthy, decaying
litter and foul mud and their noses in
foul air, how much better off are some
sheltered animals than those shivering
along the fence?
Is there q knot hole in the side of
the stock shelter? If you can't do
better-and you might easily do worse
drive corn-cob in the hole and
break it off on both sides.
The Investigations of swine plague
have disclosed one fact very clearly /;
nothing is more favorable to the life of
the microbe that produces this disease
than damp, decaying, strawy litter.
Is there any such litter in your swine
shelters?

NEW ENTERPRISE.
The Hartman Colony Company OF
Abbevilie County-Interview with
Hon. w p. Calhoun.

A reporter for the Press and Banner called
ON MIR. VIM. P. Calhoun, of Atlanta, Ga. VINO
was in Abbeville last Tuesday looking after
the interests Of the Hartman Colony Compa-
nv. To learn what progress was being made.
Mr. Calhoun stated that he was here 10 aio
In making the first payment on tne lanos
bought. ,,ro, s,oooss ~
he said, "and it will bring many dollars into
Abbeviile county, and will open TO the people
of the county an entirely new industry,-tne
raising of sugar beets and the manufacture Oh
What about the capital at the back of the
enterprise, was asked?
Mr.. Calhoun stated in reply to that ques'
ton, "that the company would have ample
means TO carry the matter through; mn 1nat frue Cne
Chicago and Atlanta, persons from those Two
cities being the promoters"
When do you expect to begin to locate lam
lilies?
"There are some families already on the
way to Hartman, and while am not mem
ber of the company, my close relations TO II
enables mo to say that by the middle OF Feo-
ruary. 1897, about twenty-five families will be
on the ground ready to ommence work, and
from that date on, families will be continual
iy coming in till the whole OF the eighteen
thousand acres purchased and to be purchas
ed by the company are settled up"
~ would like 10 call your attention 10 an
important matter" Mr.. Calhoun said, "that
has been overlooked. Sugar beets are worth
less unless there is factory TO extract the su-
gar from the beets and refine 1t. lam inform
ed that In order to erect factory, 1t Will re-
quire several hundred thousand dollars.
From this statement some idea OF the magni.
tude of the undertaking can be formed"
You ask me about accommodations for the
immigrants when they reach here. In that
connection, will say that the company will
at once begin 10 erect neat twO-story houses
that will be ready for occupancy az soon as
the people reach here. None will be allowed
to come without having proper accom- moda-
tions ready for them. This will require, also,
a very large outlay on the part Of the compa
ny, but, OF course, these houses will be paid
for as fast as taken by the immigrants. In
this connection 1t Is we'll to state that the
company does not intend TO bring over pau
pers. Every one that comes will have enough
money to start life anew on. / cannot give
you all of the details Of the compaDy's inten.
lions as I am not familiar with them, but
what have stated Is a very good outline.
who came over with me? Mr.. Carl Stree
yer. OF Chicago. and Messrs. J. r. Collins and
Julius Hartman. Of Atlanta. MIR. Hartman
has recently returned from SaXony, Germa.

about the coming of the immigrants, and tor

Mr. Hartman reports that his trip was emf
nently successful. He will have the active
management OF the business at Hartman and
under his management success is sure"

THE COTTON MILL.
Completion of the Splendid Building
Cant. Gayle Returns Home.

The contract for the erection of the Able
VILE Cotton Mill building. as well as the ex-
ira work which the contractor, Capt J. w.
dent Bailey, in behalf of the Company, &C.
cepted the building on last Monday:
Capt. eagle returned to Greenville yester-
day with the respect and goodwill of the Com
pany. He has faithfully performed his con-
tract and given Abbeville superior struc.
ture, which is now ready for the machinery.
The engine and boilers are expected to ar
rive before the first of January, and other
machinery will soon be on hand, ready to be
placed In position.
While no one can tell certainly when the
manufacture OF cotton will begin, yet 1t is
reasonably certain that in less than six
months ten thousand spindles will be set In
motion-the capacity Of the house being eigh.
teen thousand spindles, and the necessary
looms.
The work Of constructing the building was
commenced last April, and, without hitch
or delay, many hands laborcd dP.ily tor the &C.
complishtnent of the grand purpose which
was TO give Abbeville the largest and most
important enterprise that was ever under.
taken by her people.
Although the directors have not had su.
per-abundance OF ready cash, yet in the work
been ready TO give aid when money was
needed.
President Bailey by his earnestness and
zeal IN the matter inspired other OF our citi-
zens with something OF his own enthusiasm,
and thus it was they gave him liberal support
in money, as we'll as in the friendly touch OF
the elbow.
That substan tial support at the hands Of
our own people enabled him TO look conf.
IDENTIFY u Northern capitalists for still further
aid, and his success at home and abroad has
equaled the most sanguine expectations
