ABBEVILLE, LOUISIANA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1901.
To the People of Abbev1lle.

The taxpayers of Abbeville are
about to be called on to vote tax
on their property for ten years to
erectsa school building in Abbeville.
Before voting this tax would it not
be we'll to consider the matter care
fully? It's very evident that the
general revenue of the town is wholly
insufficient for defraying the neces-.
sary expenses of general admlnistra-
ton, Of police and street repairs.
We have no sidewalks, no streets and
no police. This state of things can
not long continue thus, There is
great need. of a night police, and a
day police, to look after petty thiev-
ing which;1s going on constantly, and
which the town constable is not re-
quired to look after. All these things
will require a tax of ten mills at least.
Then there must be some provision
made for the extinguishment of fires.
We ehave no protection now of any
yalue-no water supply. VIII you
wait. until some dry windy day or.
night comes when, firesbreaks out
in your dry cypress and pine build
.ngs,s and half the town is wiped out
in a .tvinkling,? This is certain to
happen unless some preventive means
are prepared.
Are, yougoing to wait for this to
happen before you act in the matter2
After.you are BURNED out and RUINED
you will not be able to take preven-
tive measures nor pay big taxes.
A considerable taxa large special
tax, is necessary now, TO be levied to
build an effective water works, to
supply the town, and extinguish fires.
This tax must soon come. Do you
feel able to pay all these taxes in
addition to. the school house tax?
If you do, there is little trouble ir1Sthe
matter; but if you Do NOT feel able
to pay so many taxes, then it is best
to reflect a little before you vote.
The School Board now owns about
four arpents Of ground, along the
railroad, which | judge, from prices
asked for lots similarly situated, to
be worth from six to seven thousand
dollars. The School Board does not
consider this lot to be a suitable
place for the High School. Now ]
suggest this, that instead of levying
special tax for ten years duration,
to build q High School building
this land be sold, and the proceeds
used to buy cheaper and more con-
venient lot, and build the High
School.

THE SECRET Is QUE.

That q new firm can start in business
In Portland, where every line 10 appAr.
emily oyerdons to the last limit, and in
two or three years force itself TO the top
notch OF success, is something that would
puzzle more than few.
Yet this very thing has happened TO the
progressive house OF Frank M. Low a.
Co., CIothiers and Furnishers, and 1t is
interesting TO know they have besn sue
cessfuI against keen competition by
adopting liberal policy with their salet-
men. Not a man in their employ but
feels as deep an interest as the owners In
having every purchaser satisfied, and In
kesping the establishment up-to-dAte.
This happy condition between this firm
ana It's employees has been brought about
by using the profit sharing system, and
the dividands are paid at an annual ban
quet held at ths residence OF MIR. Low. 80
Cushman street.
The second annual dividend was dis
bursed last evening under conditions eE.
pecially pleasing to all concerned. The
party assembled at !. 80, ana found that
their host, with Mrs. Low, had made
royal preparations for their entertain
ment. The table was yery prettily deco
rated, jack roses forming the center
piece. Covers were laid for IA, who pro-
oeeded to enjoy the menu at O'Clock.
But the programme had slight inter-
ruption, not at all difagreeable to the
company. AS each salesman unfo'd ~
his napkin. out dropped his dividend !;
$lC0 in gold, Mr.. King, head OF cothiDg
department.; $50 in gold, MIR. Marshall,
clothing department.; IA kt. full jeweled
watch, MIR. Bowie, head furnishings de-
partment; three silver watches to thrse
assistants.
The menu cards were novel and ar
tistic, representing a well dressed man
with his overcost thrown open, which
revealed the menu.
The spread was elaborate, and splendid
ly served, following which this pro-
gramme was thoroughly enjoyed by the
guests, among whom were the wives OF
the clerks:
