The pipes TO make the connections with

Interested people visit the factory daily,
and on Sundays scores OF persons come TO see
Abbevile is not a rich town, and not all
the people are interested In the welfare OF the
factory, but the directors have never faltered
or doubted the final success Of the institu-
tion. In a small community where the peo-
pie are divided In sentiment as to the advis.
ability OF trying to build up the town, II Is
not unreasonable TO suppose that 1t requires
nerve and strong deter mination to crown
this undertaking with success.
But no institution ever had friends who
have been truer. Despite dscouraging en-
vironment the friends Of the factory have
stood by 1t unwaveringly. While all have
not fully paid their subscriptions yet the sub
scribers to the capital stock haye been faith
ful while showing true grit.
The people of AbbevllIe up der President
Bailey's management, have about doubled
their subscriptions and nearly 100000 has
been paid In. President Bailey, with this
sort of backing at home, went to New Eng
land aud secured something like a85 QUO more.
TO complete the mill will require S25O000.
At present we do not know where the re-
manning S65.0O0 Is to come from but 1t will
come, and hope will end In fruition.. The
building of cotton mill by few men OF
moderate means is an undertaking of great
magnitude.

Learn TO be Pretty.

The woman who is Indifferent to
her looks is no true woman. God
meant woman to be attractive, to look
we'll, to please, and it is one of her
duties to carry out the intention of her
Maker. But that dress is to do it all,
and to suffice. is more than we can be
brought to believe.
Just because we do love to see girls
look well, as well as live to some pur-
pose, we would urge upon them such a
course of reading and study as will
confer such charms as no mOdiste can
supply.
A well.known author once wrote a
very pretty essay on the power of edu-
cation to beautify-that it absolutely
chiseled the features; that he had seen
many clumsy nose and thick pair
of lips so modified by thought awak-
ened and active sentiment as to be un-
recognizable. And he put it on this
ground that we so often see people,
homely and unattractive in youth,
bloom, in mlddle-life, into softened
Indian summer of good looks and mel
low tones.

Not Ashamed.

Some years ago walking along the
shaded streets of prosperous New
England city, saw little incident
which has always remained as vividin
my mind as on the day witnessed it,.
A group of boys, averaging about a
dozen years Of age, were gathered at
the foot of one of the great elms, when
lady passed, and in response to her
greeting one Of the lads raised his cap
from his head and answered, Good
evening""
The lady had hardly turned the cor
ner before storm of ridicule broke
from the little group. Apparently the
courtesy of lifting the hat was not
familiar in the town, and the boys
seemed to think the opportunity of
airing their wit at their companion
to tempting to be let pass. The little
fellow was year or two younger than
a majority of the others, and it was
not Surprising that the jests and
laughter brought the blood to his
cheeks. But I shall never forget the
ring of manlness in his voice as he
cried: "Well, you can say what you
like, I'm not ashamed of being u gen.
tleman."

The ROrO.

I wonder how many of the Visitor
readers know what "Roro" is. Some
I know do, and they are those who
live in quaint old city on the sea-
shore, city where the "groundEut
cake nanny" and the old colored
daddy of "before the war times" still
exist.
Well, "Roro" is a little negro
chimney-sweep, chosen usually for his
small size and ability to climb well. If
you will look at the picture, you will
get very good idea of the Sweep"
with his brush and scraper all ready
for work.
In Charleston, S. c., the city alluded
to, the chimneys are all swept by little
negro boys. They go around in squads
Of four or six, and are under the care
of director, who goes goes with them
and sees that they do their work
we'll.
When q lady wants her chimneys
swept the sends for the director of the
sweeps in the district in which she
lives, and he brings around sweep or
two. The CRATE and the bricks at the
back of the fireplace are removed; the
little black, soot-covered boy ascends,
and, as he reaches the top of the CHM
ney, pokes his head over the edges and
yells with all the strength of his lungs,
"Roro! roro! rorov This is done in
order that the director may know that
be has reached the top, and is doing
his work we'll. Thus they get the name
of "Roro." Then, if you listen we'll,
you can hear the scrape, scrape of his
little metal scraper, while the SCOT
brushed down falls in and around the
CRATE.
The sweep is source of great amuse-
ment to the children of Charleston.
They all like to see him after he reaches
the top of the chimney, and hear his
cry of "Roro." On the other hand,
many q wee one has been frightened
into good behavior by the nursemaid's
threat of, Mind, the 'Roro'll get you
if you cry"
The sweepa are usually honest and
well-behaved, and on Sunday you
would not recognize the smart, tidy
looking boys as the grimy-looking
objects of the week before.
I may be in error, but believe that
Charleston is the only city in the
United States which still clings to the
old-fashioned way of cleansing her foul
chimneys by the aid of little negro
boys.
The little sweep, humble thought he
may be-, in his ambition to reach the
chimney's top, and his exultant cry of
"RoroW after the work has been done,
furnishes US all a profitable lesson. We
too should be satisfied with nothing
short of the highest possible attainment
the perfect performance of whatever
work duty may assign.

In his charge to the Grand Jury of
Boone County, Judge Green took oc-
casion to give his ideas of the difference
between progressive euchre, as known
to society, and gambling.
I don't know anything about pro-
gressive, euchre, but know that when
two "one-gallus fellows play cards
for money or other property, down in .
hollow, that is gambling. Progressive
means advancing. and when parties
clad in silks, and satins, broadcloth,
gold watch - and gold
chains, meet in a parlor and play a
series of games, and upon the result of
the series the property in the
prizes changes ownership, | think the
game has progressed very far from the
"one-gallus fellows in the hollow, but
it is still gambling.
