| THE ABBEvILLE ROLLER MILL.
We hope the notice we saw in the Charles.
ton News and Courier few days ago to the
effect that work on the Abbevilie Roller
Mill would commence In very short time"
is authentic, as much grain has been sown
this season and such mill will not only be
| in demand, but will do a large business.
| Abbeville needs another cotton seed and
oil mill which would do good business IN
addition to the fine mill already established.
There are many small, but paying industries
that Abbeville needs and should have. For
instance: An ice plant, spoke and handle
canning factory, broom factory. All OF these
or even some OF them, together with those
already IN our midst, would give our fast
growing city another onward movement
which she needs and must have in the near
future or she will be at "stand-stil" which
means nothing more nor less than down.

ngure on the interests and ppbuiiding Of our
city so that not only few, but all may tind
business and prosper.
PENSION BOARD.
The Pension Board for Abbeville County,
has been In session since Monday last and
will possibly close It's volume of business to-
day.. Many are seeking pensions through
this Board, while not q few who justly need
them, and should have help through this
source are barred by certain restrictions OF
law. This Is a just and good law and should
not be imposed upon by granting help 10
those who can help themselves, but at the
same time those really in need should not be
barred by frivolus obstacles. Our State can
do larger and better work along this line If
she will.
