Abbeville AZ Manufacturing Centre

Abbeville as a Misunderstanding Centre
Owing to our modesty, we have made nc
blowing horn OF the fact that Abbeville is one
Of the most important manufacturing centres
in this part of the up-country.
Draw circle within, say sixty miles
around the city, and we have more spindles
than can be found In town similar size In
the Southern States. Starting at Athens, and
going around the circle, We would include
the various cotton mills and paper mills, in
Athens, Elberton. Washington, Mccormick,
Edgefield, Newberry. Clinton, Laurens,
Greenwood, Wares Shoals, Anderson Bolton
Honea Path. Williamston, Greenville, Spar
tanburg and Union.
This of course is a proud record for an aver
age city. but Abbeville, conscious Of her ad.
vantages, makes no boast OF being the centre
Of 80 much more than half of the spindles In
South Carolina.
We merely refer to our pre.immence as q
manufacturing centre. We would not incur
the displeasure of our struggling neighbors by
any boasting on our own part.
They have done we'll and we would give
each and all OF them due credit for the noble
assistance which they have given US in build
Ing up the industrial enterprises, and devel-
oping the resources OF the Piedmont section.
We do not claim q monopoly OF the noble
work, but give q share OF the praise TO the
towns which have emulated our own ex-
ample.

That Jones. Bradley Story.

The two Abbeville papers, the Press and
Banner and the Medium told stories last
week about County Treasurer Bradley and
State Comptroller Jones. The stories were
about anual labor in their gardens, but they
vary SO much in the telling that the public
are inclined TO believe that both Of those
story teller about town. and that neither Mr..
Bradley nor Jones has had any disposition TO
LABOR n gardens in some time. 1t is all n
Views.
or course the Press and Banner told OF the
manual exercise Of Messrs. Jones and Bradley
among the vegetables as 1t was told to u.s.
The sun had got hot before we were out. We
walt until after breakfast before going abroad.
When we were out these gentlemen were In
the shade resting from their labors.

Strange.

On April IA. we wrote letter to Mr.. c. W.
Birchmore, Camden, 8. G.. On the left hand
corner OF the envelope was printed these
words: After days return to the Press

Just two months and fourteen days after
sending 1.-THE letter was received at this Of
fee marked Returned to writer" with q
big fist pointing to instructions. On the op'
posite side, or the back Of the envelope, "un'
claimed"
What we would like TO know Is, why was
the letter not delivered? Mr.. Birchmore is
editor Of the Wateree Messenger. He is also
treasurer or clerk Of the School board Of the
township in which he lives. He is man
possessing property, and man OF affairs In
the city. Does he not call for his mail, or ia
he unknown 10 the postmaster Why did
the postmaster visit for two months instead
of i've days to return the letter?
We do not understand, why letters should
not be delivered to Mr.. Birchmore, and we
do not understand why his letters are "un.

Let Us Keep Our Young Men a
Home.

From the days of our earliest recollection
men have been at times moving away from
Abbeville County. Before the war the pre-.
sence OF slavery was at the bottom OF the
movement. The slave.owner would buy the
adjoining lands Of the small landowner. He
must then move on. There few chances for
him to buy home here. The result was
that the western States were largely settled
by South .Carolinians. The slave-owner en-
couraged the removal Of the white trash"
and the "poor buckra" dreamed of better
lands in the West
During the years from 1858 TO 1875 q spirit OF
unrest was generated. and the disposition to
leave the State was 80 pronounced that the
wise men ofthe common wealth saw dagger,
and set themselves TO correct the evil. 1t was
finally agreed that II we encouraged the
manufacturing industries that the emigation
of our people would stop. They would prefer
profitable employment at home, and would
stay here II the appointment to work was
offered.
Our Legislators, in order to encourage the
building OF cotton mills. passed an act refund
Ing all raxes for ten years. To this fact may
be attributed the great Impetus along that
line. The cotton mills in South Carolina now
give employment to many thousand good
people who would, except for the mills, be
citizens OF other States.
Right here in Abbeville there is a spirit OF
unrest among our young men because OF a
lack Of profitable employment. We are told
that many applicants for work at the furni-
ture factory are turned away because the
factory is full Of help. We are also informed
that some young men have gone to factory
in Indiana, and that others contemplate
going. The strength and the wealth OF a
community is in It's men, Abbeville should
not allow her men 60 away because offs lack
of work. Let us build another factory, and
give profitable employ TO others and keep
them at home.

Cemetery Needed.

We notice that the Clinton Chronicle states
that, among other things, a city cemetery is
needed. Abbeville has many needs, but we
can scuffle along for a while yet without "a
city cemetery" Our people live on forever
or move off, and in either event we don't
need cemetery. What We do need. how
ever, is more industrial enterprises, not 10
keep our people from dying, but 10 keep
them from moving off,

BY the way, since the deep snow fell
we are greatly annoyed by many small

owners seem to let loose on us now that
it is impossible for these animals to find
living on the roads during the deep
snow. SO the different hay stacks are
continually raided. 1t is true the law
has made provision to stop this business
but in this instance it is Intellectual as
the animals are too worthless to sell if
taken charge OF. We think this would
deserve the notice of the humane So
ciety.
