THE close of the year is almost a

munities who now wish, almost be

out OF debt. In casting up the ac-
counts they find that the amount OF
their Indebtedness is much greater
than they had been led to suppose il
was. We might say that half the
perplexity, annoyance and trouble that
men have in this world. is in consp-
quence OF getting into debt. It seems
to be natural for some people to buy
and incur obligations without measure,
20 long as they can avoid paying
ready cash. GIVE one of this sort a
chance to buy on credit, and the
question of price and conditions of
payment are matters he cares blu
little about. But what a crop of
trouble springs up from the seed of
debt. How many sleep,ess nights
result from 1t. how many gray hairs it
brings, and how often it shortens life
sometimes leading men to commit
suicide or murder. And yet, how
easy thing 1t is to
keep clear of this terrible monster.
Every young man should form a fixed
aud unalterable determination, before
commencing his active business career.

The unemployment of great
numbers of persons, men and wo-

conditions and the constant chang

by machinery and the thousand

one Of the most perplexing prob

Workmen are constantly being

OF labor by their sturdier and more
untiring rivals, steam and elec-

suffer can adjust themselves to the

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
A railroad to connect the Seaboard with the
thriving cotton mill section farther up tae
country, with Abbeville as the connecting
place, is In prospect. And 1t Is lively pros
pect.
For several months such scheme has been
brewing. 1t has for some time been known
that connection was wanted between tne
mills at Piedmont and Pelzer and The sea
board Air Line system In January the 9. A.
L.. engineering corps surveyed TWO lines rom
the mills to the road, one TO Abbeville, the
other to Calhoun Falls.
Vile that a railroad between the mills and
Calhoun Falls was In contemplation and IN
a few hours a meeting of the business men
to Abbeville taken. 1t is now probable that
Abbevile will be the connecting point. Ao-
beville will doubtless do her part. A.
Capt. N. E. Lugoff. of the Seaooard Ar
Line engineering corps, has lately made
complete survey of the proposed route. he
has not yet submitted his report. 1t Is IN
derstood, however, that according 10 nlS SUI.
vey 1t is 42 miles from Abbeville to Piedmont
by way Of Due West and 49I miles by way
Of Antrevile.
The probable plan for building the road has
not been announced, but 1t is reported that
the Piedmont and PelZer companies VIII
grade the road and The citizens o. Abbeville
and the s. A. l.. company equip 1t.
The survey strikes the town limits at Mr.
R. E. Cox's place and terminates at the shops.
This road will not only be good feeder for
the Seaboard and boon to Pelzer and Pied.
mont, but a great help to Abbevllle and to
the section through which 1t Is to pass-par-
ticularly the upper part OF this county, now
sadly lacking in railroad facilities.
