Agents Wanted.

We see by many Of our exchanges that good
positions are offered to nearly everybody al
S20 month-notbing to do but to write let.
ters TO such gudgeons as can be duped out OF
sl2 or $40.
These offers, which should bear their prop
er impress upon their own face, have had a
wonderful influence in inducing many honest
hard pressed people to part with money
which they could ill-afford TO throw away
In our opinion the attention of the post office
authorities should be called to such unmiti.
gated frauds as would cheat our people.
A gentlemen writing TO as from Washing
ton says:
II have read with interest your comments
on the cherry tree business. II you will
kindly send the names OF The parties who are
running this scheme 1t will be called TO the
attention OF the post Office authorities. Our
1air ladies ought to be saved the modification
that will surely come"
It is not more the "mortifcation" than
the loss Of money from which We would save
them. The entailed loss Of money on people
who are III able to lose 1t, is q matter OF great
Importance.
1tseems to us great pity that any newspa-
per would for twenty-five cents, lend Its infiu-
ence in promoting palpable and outrageous
frauds.

Mrs. Hunter.
Associate Relol med Presbyterian.


Yesterday when the wires flashed the ines;
sage that our missionary circle in Mexico nao
for the first time been brt ken by d"atn,
wondered why IL was Mrs. Hunter that had
been taken. Her life WAS so strong and
beautiful for Christ, and her presence ana
work AS We saw IL, was so necessary In Inc
no issluu field, could not understand.
But soon there came the sweet thought that
1t was all right for our beloved Mrs. Huuter
TO 90 home first. So faithfully bad she serv'
ed, 10 much had she endured. Now her
days work is done and our Saviour has come
again 10 receive her unto Himself.
She had as much freedom In her religion as
any Christian have ever known. 1t was as
natural and easy for her 10 talk about the
soul az about the body. Once when | spoke
to her OF this freedom. she replied, Ut mas
reen long time since was ashamed OF my
saviour" Hers was an Intense nature. She
loved much. Hence service for Christ was
to her voluntary and delightful ana never
suggestive of drudgery.
fknew her during those trying days when
the little handful OF Christians In Ell Maiz
had no place they could call their own IN
which TO worship God. knew her when
doors were often closed In her face, but she
was doing the Masters bidding. and | never
saw her confidence shaken nor her cheerlnl-
ness overshadowed.
She was instant In season and out OF season,
and the duties which were necessarily hers
as q wife and mother never Kept her lroD
Iull service but ere used as means 10 higher
service.
Her memory wilt ever remain precious TO
those whose privilege and Joy 1t was 10 be
eye witnesses OF her faithful, cheerful loving
work.
In the midst OF her sympathy and prayers
for her husband and dear children, we must
not forget how this goes 10 the hearts OF our
Missionaries on the field, and especially must

who loved her as their own lives. and VINO IN
The midst OF trials depended on her. His

her life and work, an d amidst our sorrow we
can find Joy In thinking what glorious de-
lights are hers now that she Is In the very
presence or Him whom she loved on EARTH.

Liberal Reward.

A liberal reward will be given to any person
who can find worse road, or poorer BRIDGE
than that on Long Cane at Dendy's bridge
Because of the lack Of decent public high
way. the lands about Dendy's bridge have
very little commercial value, though their In
trinsic value is equal TO the best. By keeping
the price OF lands low, and the assessed value
is at low figure, property owners save i'm
mensely In the way Of taxes. When we save
in taxes We can afford to wade mud holes and
walt for high water 10 run down. II there
were good roads and good crossing at Dendy's
bridge the lands in that neIghborhood might
be worth as much as the lands from Abb
beville to Due West. In that event taxes
would be raised. 1t may be that the mud
hole Is left there for the especial benefit Of the
taxpayers, regardless of the rights OF the trav.
cling public and the Inconvenience Of the
men who have cotton to sell, or who may
wish to trade at Abbeville.

Dendy's Bridge.

Would It not be we'll for the Grand Jury to
investigate the Long Cane crossing at Dendy' g
bridge? In case the road should be changed
to place higher up the stream, and high
bridge should be built, whole lot OF our
trade might get away. Suppose. for instance,
a good road and good crossing should be fur.
nished to the farmers on the western side OF
Long Cane, they might carry their cotton to
Greenwood. Due West is reaching out her
arms and grabbing cotton from within the
sound OF our bells. Due West can do this be.
cause there is no such mud hole in the way as
is to be found at Dendy's bridge. AS long as
the mud hole at Dendy's bridge exists, we can
defy encroachment from Greenwood. Thai
dangerous mud hole at Dendy's bridge en-
sures good trade from the west bank Of the
stream.

Spinning Mill.

1t is possible that yarn mill may be built
next year. The promoters of the scheme are
studying out the plans and will work for the
material aid that will be needed. The pro-
posed new mill will likely be a home affair,
and built with little money used by plain
horse sense. Mr.. P. Rosenberg will take the
lead In raising the capital stock, but will &C
cept aid from friends who may be willing to
continue the good work Of building the old
town which has grown 80 much in the last
ten years.
No expensive architects and no high sala-
ried officers are to be employed.

Abbeville has grown much during the las,
ten years. A determined effort will soon be
made to build a spinning mill at or near tn Is
city. When the movement takes shape
every patriotic citizen should take as much
stock as he can afford. When 1t was propos.
ed to build our cotton mill, large number
of our citizens lent helping hand. II they
will show like friendly disposition to the
proposed new mill IL will be built. If we
raise good subscription ourselves and show
faith In the enterprise others will come 10
our aid.
The question as to location has not been
taken into consideration. but that is an I'M,
portant matter to be decided, and before that
question Is TO be disposed Of, We should study
it in It's varying phases.
From political standpoint, this news.
paper believes that the proposed new mill
should be situated outside the corporate e
limits. The wishes aud feelings of our old
citizens should be respected. In politics
new men and strangers may have different
desires and other interests from our own.
In that case the operatives Of mill may con.
troll the elections Of the town, even at the pro.
test OF the property owners. For this reason
the people should not desire the location Of
the new mill within the corporate limits.
From business point OF view, mill can
be built and operated more cheaply outside
the corporate limits. Land can be had al
nominal figures. Firewood, for steaming pur.
poses, would be in closer proximity to the
mill.
Ofcourse n 10 new mill should be built out
side the limits OF the town without first secur.
ing the competitive rates, a sidetrack, and
all other advantages which the railroads give
TO man ufacturing industries. Nothing should
be done at building any factory anywhere
without ironclad contracts as to sidetracks. 8.
III mill Is built near railroad track without
first securing the sidetrack the accomoda
tion may never be had.
The prime object OF those who put small
sums Into these enterprises may be to help
build up the town, but those who put large
sums into them may do 30 from q twofolk
purpose, namely: To build up the town and
to receive fair return for their money.
The building Of the existing mill furnish es
an object lesson for everybody. Its beneficial
effects TO the town would not be denied by
the blindest man on earth. In the practical
work Of building the mill we have also learn.
ed much, and can OF course avoid many cost
ly mistakes In the second mill that were
made In the first. Ifmen can learn by expe.
rience, and apply common horse sense to the
work OF construction, they can build houses
that will be but small per cent OF the total
cost.
1t is the machinery, and not the houses,
that pays dividend. Practical workmen.
and not theorists, bring enterprises to sue
cessful issue. With the experience Of the
past. Abbeville ought to build mill that can
give satisfactory results. If Abbeyilie starts
right, and agrees upon practical methods. a
new mill can be built.
