The New Oil Mill.

The talk Of q new oil mill in Abbeville has
about died out, but we notice that the farmers
of Newberry have gone to work and raised
a subscription of $1,000 frcm the people Of
different sections who have cotton to gin and
seed to sell. 1t Is contemplated giving the
town people an opportunity to invest with
them. If the farmers around Abbeville 80
will it, a new mill can be built at this place,
and one Of their number could take active
control Of 1t, so that the owners and the GUS
toners would realize every good that there
is in the enterprise.

Pauama's Sanitary Problem.

Surgeon General Wyman has re-
celved the report of Surgeon Perry,
sent to Panama to investigate the
sanitary condition and needs of the
isthmus, from which it Is apparent
that the United States will be required
to spend millions for the sanitary safe
ty of life before it is humane to begin
the work of actual construction on the
Panama canal.
This is as was expected, and, in view
of the success achi wed by our govern
ment in practically freeing Cuba from
yellow fever, the task before Surgeon
General Perry may not be such Her
culean one as is feared. Doubtless the
puritication of the canal route would
be easier had no work ever been done
on the great waterway, for the accum-
ulated Wreckage OF years left by the
French constructors has left veritable
hotbed of malignant germs from Colon
to the rocky backbone OF the isthmus.
The ditch as far as constructed is filled
with debris, rank underground, slime
and contaminated by the shallow
graves of thousands of laborers who
fell victims to the dread fevers and
bowel disorders endemic in that plague
spot.
The problem of getting the labor
least subject to malarial and other trop-
ical diseases is going to be, perhaps,
the greatest one connected with the
whole undertaking. This was The
French experience, but it is true that
the French set much lighter value
on human life than will Uncle Sam
when once he rolls up his sleeves and
prepares to dig. The former canal
companies did little really scientific
and thorough work to better the SAIL
tary condition of the right of way.
They seem to have gone on the inhum-
an principle that lives were cheaper
than sanitation.
Already there is talk of employing
coolie labor if sanitary conditions are
found to be such that Americans can
not work on the isthmus. The natives
are said to he of little account as can.
al laborers and they seem to succumb
to disease almost as readily as North
Americans.
At any rate, the first thing the
United States will have to do is to
clean the canal route"irom A to lizard, !"
employing the most advanced sanitary
methods. This will probably involve
good deal of delay in getting con-
struction started.

In Ahbeville Again.

Mr.. Thomas T. Cromer was In town one day
last week, investing little more Of his sur.
Plus cash in our furniture factory stock. The
prospect is, that he will become a tower OF
strength to one OF our manufacturing enter
prises. He has the money, and, actuated by
the noble impulse to come to the relief Of his
brother, as we'll as by the prospect OF making
q small pile while the cotton market Is dull,
Mr.. Cromer will make the Abbeville furni.
tnre factory fairly june-if you know what
"june' means.
II we are not in error our neighoor, from
the town Of prohibitionists and blind tigers,
the News and Views, Is somewhat exercised
for fear Mr.. Cromsr may bring all his pile
this way instead Of investing it in Graen.
wood.
The, Press and Banner would be sorry to
take anything from our sister town, but
Whatever comes is grlRt in Abbevilles mill.
So Mr.. Cromer will find a splendid place to
invest little Of the money which he made
OF the New York gudgeons, who try to get
the best. Of the man who grows the cotton.
We know that Mr.. Cromer's removal to Abb
beville would be severe loss to Green wood,
but then think how much Abbeville would
make In the deal.

A New Lumber Yard.

The advertisement of Mr.. w. II. Long In.
forms the public that he is in the lumber
business Abbeville Is growing 20 fast that
there is no telling our possibilities. Me-
chan les of all kinds are pressed every day
with work, and new men are being called for.
1t was only last week that Mr.. w. w. White,
building superintendent, wsnt TO Atlanta for
additional help. DR.. l.. Il. Hill and DR.. q. A.
Neuffer have fine houses well under way.
Mr.. l.. T. Miller has the frame on the pillars
for a nice new dwelling.
Capt. L. w. White is clearing his lot pre-
paratory 10 building an elegant home.
Mr.. J. c. Ellis has just furnished as pretty
house as can ba found in Abbevile.
President j. r. Blake and manager John
Lyon are building new warehouse At the
Southern station. MeSsrS. John aud A. w.
Calhoun will occupy one OF the rooms as
wholesale grocery store. The wholesale gro.
Gerry business is something new, and the
amount of the sales which the Messrs. CAL
houn are making, is a surprise to us all.
Many Of our merchants recognize good
thing when they see it, and have fallen into
line and are liberal buyers. They buy from
the Messrs. Calhoun, not because they love
them, but because IT is 10 their interest.
The warehouse Is proving alike for the
farmer and merchant, one of the best institu-
tions In town. The stockholders are waiting
for the dividends, but who cares for dividends
so long as we have no stock. Those OF US who
have no stock are in position to walt, and can
afford TO do so. Those who have stock are
able TO wait, but will be sure to get divi-
dend-after awhile-in few years at tnrther-
est, when the stock ought to be worth away
above par. A good dividend has been
going to make needed improvements or to
finish paying cost of construction.
All debts having been paid and the demand
for more shares was such that 1t was deemed
wise to add another section to the already
large building. The roof would have been on
II by this time, but the contractor to furnish
the lum Der, Dr. S. G. Thomson, had the mis-
fortune to lose 1t fn the destruction by
fire in drying kiln. But in little while the
lumber will be ON the ground and the build
ing will be only short time In its present un'
finished condition. The people are beginning
TO see the advantage OF warehouse, and are
making more and more use Oft as the years
come and go. The high price Of cotton has
been of great benefit to the warehouse as we'll
as TO the farmer. The farmer, II he D eeds the
money. can take his receipts TO any OF our
banks and draw money while his cotton
is being safely kept at nominal cost

A Boy Hero.

sTo him, I am sure owe it that I
am at home, that am alive and able
to toacknowledge my debt" wrote James
O'Donnell Bennett, war. correspondent
of New York paper, from the yellow
fever hospital, near Siboney Cuba
II shall not soon forget" be con-
tinues, "that little, swarthy, smiling
Italian, who, despite his nativity, is
as good an American as ever lifted his
hat to the flag. Frank Matinee is his
name, and when he is not busy saving
lives, he plays the cymbals in the:band
of the Thirteenth United States lnfan-
try.
When the yellow fever broke out at
Siboney, an isolation camp was estab-
lished some two or three miles back
in the woods. Thither we who had
the fever were taken, and thither went
Frank Martinez. There were between
fifty and seventy-five ofus, and he was
our only nurse. Without him L do
not know what we should have done,
and yet be was such little chap, and
he had never had the fever, and he was
playing with his life in coming near
US.
"He helped US to wash our fevered
bodies, he built the fires and prepared
the condensed milk and buried the
camp offal and pitched the tents and
carried live Goals to the smokers and
water to the thirsty. He cheered us
up with his merry laugh aud his ra-
diant face, and he fetched and carried
and ran in rain and shine, in darkness
and dawn.
"He never thought of himself. He
would work for hours in dripping
clothes, and when we begged him to
strip and wrap up in blanket, he
would say; No, I am too busy. Soon
the sun will come, and it will dry me.
Then he would rush away to build
fire or raise the walls of tent, so thai
breath of clean air could reach US
and we could hear the water chugging
in his shoes.
"When I was released from the
camp, he threw his arms around me
and tor an instant held me in his
grasp.
II could not see him plainly then
for the grateful tears blinded me; but
as the days pass by, can behold him
clearly. He stands there on the green
hillside, little and swarthy and erect
blue circles of pain and weariness un
der his eyes, his face pinched and his
hands shaking from loss of sleep
That was my last sight of Frank
Martinez. I do not know whether he
is living or dead, but know that
| if he still lives, he is doing good"

poured 1t over the cushion in one OF the pews

1t is hard y necessary to characterize this
deed and we have no doubt that the young
gentlemen are heartily ashamed of such

feel inclined to treat the act as joke the
probability OF severe punishment in case the
