Gratifying Success.

The report OF the proceedings Of the meet
ing Of the stock olders OF the Abbeville Fur
niture Factory must be very gratifying to the
stock holders as well as to the friends OF the
institution. When a profit OF twenty-six per
cent is made nothing but satisfaction can be
had with the officers. Their success Is phe-
nominal. The credit OF the prosperity is due
largely to Superintendent Hit and President
Blake. For the clearness and the specific
statement Of the exact situation much credit
is due to the efficiency, correctness and ability
OF Clerk ]. E. Jones.
And Mr.. Blake, after only few months In
Office, enters upon the succeeding years work
under the most assuring evidences OF success,
Thesstock In the factory is now regarded as
first class. and II President Bake at the end
OF q year in Office shall show as good results
as was shown for his first three months in Of
foe, the stock will 60 skyward. An offer OF
sl.l0 was offered and refused yesterday for
stock.

High Priced COttOn-Mills Shut
Down.


The high price OF cotton today is enough
to make sick at heart those who sold their
staple earlier In the season.
At one time the Abbeville warehouse wai
nearly full Of cotton. As the price began to
rise one after another sold his holdings,
Some were satisfied with 9 cents. Others
parted with their cotton al 8 1-2 cents. When
the 10 cents figure was reached the majority
of the owners Of cotton seemed to become
panic stricken, and they rushed their cotton
on. The warehouse was practically emPtied
Of cotton. Now, when cotton has gone far
beyond the eleven cents points In New York
some OF the cotton sellers are anxious to
tind ont what was the matter with their
discernment
As result Of the high price Of cotton and
the low price Of cloth. many OF the cotton
mills are In dilemma. Some Of the mills
have been forced 10 CLOSE down. But the
luckiest mill owners are those in Lowell
where the operatives concluded that theil
wages were not high enough, and through
their union demand was made for more
pay. The raise In wages was refused. A
strike was declared, and the mill owners
were forced by the operatives to do what
they would have been compelled to do q little
later-to shut down.
And thus 1t was that the Northern mills
were helped out OF their trouble. They were
lucky indeed. The indications are thai
>nany Of the mills must either shut down
entirely Or run or short time. II the officers
would avoid bankrupting their corporations
The markets Of the world would lead US &c
believe that manufacture OF cotton goods Ii
far il excess OF the demand or else the cottor
crop is exceedingly light.
While the situat on is hard on the manu-
facturer, the cotton planter is on velvet-i
he has cotton.

Road Progress In Tennessee.

Judging from the enthusiasm which
attended the recent annual meeting Of
the Tennessee Good Roads association,
much work In the improvement OF
highways will be accomplished In that
state next year. The convention was
not content with academic discussions

best material for roadways and the
like, but took practical steps toward q
realization Of the ideals. To secure
united action throughout the state and

would be strong enough to demand leg.
islation each county court was urged
to send three delegates to each annual
meeting Of the State Roads association.
It was decided also to ask the legisla-
ture for the appointment Of q state en-
gineer to consult with county super
intendents in the matter Of roads and
bridges and for legislation which would
permit the employment Of jail inmates
tn roadmaking.

ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO.

Improvement Does Net Keep Pace
With the Demand Of tho Times.
Ohio has by no means kept pace In
the matter Of roadbuilding throughout
the country districts either with the
progress made In steam railways or In
the improvement of city streets, where
within the past twenty-five years the
old macadam and bowlder thorough
fares have given way almost entirely
to the more perfect and lasting granite.
brick and asphalt, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
It is true there is In this state law
which enables the townships through
out Ohio to improve their road system,
known as the free turnpike law, and 1t
has done wonders for the common
roads Of the state during the twenty
FIVE years or more that it has been In
force. Perhaps few other states have
similar Laws, but they are not general.
The ordinary country roads throughout
the country generally are, as they have
always been, things to avoid In the sea-
son Of freezing and thawing. during
which they are usually impossible.

New Furniture Factory.

Something has been said, and some enquir-
les have been made. about a new. furniture
factory in Abbeville. 1t rests with the citi-
zens to say whether we shall have another
factory. II they desire such an institution
they can have 1t, by the least effort But as
far as we know, NO single individual Ia going
to imperil his estate for the enterprise.
This newspaper has no other zeal IN the
matter than to see the town grow, and we be-
lieve our citizens can easier accomplish the
work by establishing another factory than In
any other way.
The Abbeville Furniture Factory, which is
capitalized at S25 900, pays out about $50 or s75
dayr for labor. 1t gives employment to
about 70 hands. Owing to the fact that this
is busy town, where nearly everybody AL
ready had a job, 1t was necessary toibring
majority Of the employees from distance.
They live in houses, and spend part Of their
earnings with the business men OF the town.
The demand for houses gives good price for
land. The building Of houses gives employ
ment to laborers and mechanics, and things
about Abbeville are on move.
The various activities in Abbeville have put
q new face on everything.
Every year for several years, new enter
prises have gone up, and the town continues
10 grow. II you would push things along,
take stock in any industrial enterprise.

M'LAURIN Is OUT.

Last Week his Friends at Home were
Agreeably Surprised to Learn that he
had Large Interests in the Mohawk Val
Icy Steel Company, of Georgia, and had
been Elected President of the Birming-
ham and Brunswick Railroad Company
Now he has Sold Out his Interests in Both
Companies-has Resigned his Railroad
Presidency.
New York, May 1.-THE reorganization
meeting OF the Brunswick and BirmiDgham
Railroad, held at 100 Broadway today, devel:
oped big surprise. When Col. Machen sold
out last week. those interested In the road
were startled, but matters quickly Quieted
down, when II was stated that a reorganlza'
tion would be Immediately effected, with
former Senator John L. McLaurin OF South
Carolina. as president and general manager
McLaurin was already vice-president OF the
Mohawk Valley Steel Company Of Georgia
which is owned by the railroad. What trans
pired at todays meeting came like thunder
bolt, II was 40 unexpected.
Senator McLaurin went into the meeting
slated for the presidency. He came out an
hour later without any Interest In either rail-.
that McLaurIn had accepted an immediate
offer TO purchase all his interests, had been
paid cash and had resigned bis offices In both
com panies. Robert Fairbairn, New York
banker, ls acting president of the road, ank u

all close friends OF Col. Machen, especially
Fsirbairn. 1t was announced that the road
would be pushed along lines laid down by
MRchen.
None OF the gen tlemen interested would
discuss the extraordinary moves OF the last
few days. Senator McLaurin was seen TO-
night at the Waldorf and asked to give 9

GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT.
Commerce and Transportation Ma3
Have Place In Cabinet.

Commerce and Transportation May
Have Place In Cabinet.
Good road enthusiasts are confident
that the bill providing for the creation
Of a new government department Will
be passed at the coming session OF con-
gress. The measure, as proposed and
as It will be backed by the good roads
people, provides for the establishment
Of a department Of commerce and
transportation or commerce and public
works. It Is intended to establish un-
der its direction a bureau Of good
roads. At present the bureau Of public
road inquiries Is under the department
of agriculture. It Is also the intention
to place bureaus now under the direc-
ton of the interior and treasury de-
partments under the proposed depart
ment of commerce. President Moore
of the National Good Roads associa-
ton recently said:
81 have talked with q great many
members Of congress this summer,
with the result that 1 am confident the
new department will be created at the
next session. Every senator and repre-
sentative have seen favors 1t.
Heretofore the politicians have not
understood the situation, but now they
are getting their eyes opened The
people are also beginning to see some
thing must be done toward building
permanent good roads. Our mission is
to educate, and in establishing this de-
partment and making liberal appro.
priation for 1t the government will also
be educating. No one expects the gov
ernment to build the roads. Such q
proposition would be FOOLISH. The gov
ernment can, however, build sample
roads and thereby let the people know
what the advantages are. The states
must build the roads.
1.-THE railroads are interested IN 9
movement for good roads because they
realize good roads are essential to theil
interests. At present shipments prac
tically stop in large part OF the coun
try for five months every year because
the farmers cannot get to the railroad
stations. The result is the railroad
companies must try to have cars enough
to carry the business when the farmeri
can get to the stations. This compeli
them to keep large numbers OF carl
idle much of the time, and az they
don't want to maintain any more roll
ing stock than is absolutely necessary
they are usually short of cars when th'
rush comes. With good roads all ove1
the country the traffic would be dis
tributed through twelve months OF th'
year. This is the reason the railroad
want good roads,"
