 A typical Southern barbecue was served, and the conditions were ideal for delightful occasion. Universal commendatiOn is heard on all sides of the excellent arrangements and a more toothsome cue was never served on any table. Men, women and children enjoyed themselves to the fullest. The table was set under an avenue of oaks on the campus. and the guests were served individually al their seats on benches distributed under the trees. The southern barbecue was a revela- tion to many of the Northern repre- sentatiVcs who were present. Altogether, the day was most delight ful one.

 It must be repeated that he signi- f1cance of this work now in progress cannot be overestimated. It does not overstate the matter in the least to say that every farmer in attendance is enthusiastic in praise of the instruction given. The air is full of agriculture, and as a farmer from Jefferson County said,s he learned something practical and important every hour and will carry it home with him for his use on the farm.

EnOuRh to Satisfy.

The great racket that has been raised about
the funeral of General John B. Gordon, OF
Georgia, 1t seems to us. should he enough to
satisfy all the enemies of General Longstreet,
as we'll as to please the admirers of Gen. Cor
don.
Longstreet died few days before Che death
of Gordon, but Georgia did not go into hys-
terics about 1t.
The fact is, that both Gordon and Long
street were great men, and the lives and the
character Of both reflect honor upon the State
OF Georgia.
They were both Generals In the Confederate
army, and next to Lee, none stood higher In
military circles than Longstreet and Gordon.
Military honors were we'll balanced between
Gordon and Longstreet. A proud soldiery
and grateful people had great confidence in
them. All delighted TO honor them.
But along the different lines there were diff
ferent degrees OF greatness and different
measures OF sagacity.
Asa man Lopgstreet was not outclassed by
Gordon, as a soldier Gordon was not his infe.
rior. Their private lives we believe were
equally blameless. but as politician Gordon
outranked Longstreet and this greater hula
balloo over Gordon was because OF Gordon's
greater sagacity in aligning himself with the
people politically. Lonsstreet was more
courageous morally, and sometimes indis-
creetly asserted his own political opinions
while Gordon was more discreet. or more def.
erential TO the opinions OF the masses.
May 1t not be that tile man who was less
honored in his death, will live in history,
while the truthful and fair recorder of events
will honor Longstreet, as one of the greatest
of the American soldiers.

New Farnitur Factory Proposed.

Mr.. r. G. Bernau has written back to Abbe-
Vile, from the old North State, proposing to
come back to Abbeville, If q new furniture
factory can be established. He Is willing to
take 5000 In such an enterprise. and bis
friend, Mr.. Brewer. who was once in Abbe-
VILE, will take stock, and become interested
in the town.
The question now is, will the people take
the necessary stock? 1t is certain that the
Abbeville Furniture Factory has been the
best investment the town ever made. That Is
to say, the town has realized more good in
proportion TO the amount Of money Invested,
than has been realized by any other invest
ment.
The manufacture Of furniture is legitimate
business. And Mr. J. L. Mcmillan said long
ago that almost any legitimate business we'll
managed would pay. But We are not talking
about dividends. We are talking about build
ing up the town. The right men will be GER
tain to manage any enterprise. sooner or
later.
II the town Is improved. and If money is
scattered abroad, 1t 10 the individuals fault II
he does not gather up his share of the money
that is put in circulation. Land owners are
greatly benefited in the increased price OF
their lands. Trade is better, and everything
has q more lively air when new enterprises
90 up.
II our people would take stock With Mr..
Bernau and Mr.. Brewer. the town would
grow, and we have faith in the proposed man
agement OF these gentlemen.

Good Roads.

AS far as we have noticed, Senator Latimer
has wasted neither time nor words in effort
to defeat The Panama Canal.
But, be IT, eald to his credit, he is actively
engaged in scheme TO get good wagon roads
for the whole country. He proposes that
Congress appropriate millions, aid that each
State and Territory shall have a fair divide
on condition that the local authorities ap.
propriate like sum.
Al! this is perfectly good, and II is probable
that, sooner or later, such law will be
enacted.
II seems, however, that Roosevelt is in
fovor of such, road improvement and may
favor the appropriation by Congress. II
extremely honorable and patriotic Demo
cratic Congressman find out that Roosevelt,
favo RS the appropriation, the scheme is doom.
ed. How could true, ]oynl and patriotic
Democrats do otherwise than oppose any
thing that Roosevelt favors?
or course the County will feel grateful tc
Mr.. Latimer for his able and Jealous efforts
In behalf of good roads, but Roosevelt has
kill ed his scheme. Mr.. Latimer will be de-
feated as soon as his Dem mocratic associates
learn how Roosevelt stands. The idea o
Reperse nsitive Democrats and the only hon.
orable Senators now in the United States
voting for anything that Roosevelt favors ID
not to be entertained. Perish the thought.

Death of n Child.

Hubert, the four year old son of w. N.
Graydon, ESQ.,, of this city had long been a
sufferer. and recently his parents, as last re.
sort, took him 10 one Of the hospitals in At
lanta for surgical operation, hoping thereby
to relieve the sufferer from the ills which af
flicted. Upon examination the surgeons
pronounced the case hopeless, and said that
Hubert had only a short time to live.
he suffered for nearly the whole life time
from causes which were unknown until
little while before death. The surgeons dis
covered that internal cancerous tumors eX-
listed, which had made such inroads that 1t
was useless to operate.
Hubert died in the city and Mr.. and Mrs.
Graydon brought the body back to Able.
Vile on Friday afternoon. Many kindred
and sympathising friends met the distressed
parents at the Seaboard station, and next day
the remains were carried To Long Cane.
II is always sad to contemplate the death OF
q child, but q child's suffering may develop
in It's parents the sweetest and the best emo.
tions Of the human heart. The devotion OF
these parents for their beloved child was sim
cere and beautiful. During all the long and
weary months of illness Hubert was the con.
slant care OF the mother whose solicitude was
seldom equalled and whose watch fulness was
never excelled. In the daytime suffering
made the child fretful and at night he was
wakeful, but the mother never lost her
patience or forgot her motherly care and low
Ing tenderness. The needed sleep and the
needed rest could not be had. Day and night
the motherly instincts we're SO beautifully
exempl.fied as TO excite the sympathy Of all.
1t is not for US TO say how long the cry, or
the piteous appeal Of that little sufferer will
linger In the memory of parents who
loved him more than their own life. In bis
death shadow has come over bruised
hearts, and the sun itself shines for them not
quite 80 brightly as 1t did in aforetimes.

Oil Mill and Ginnery.

1t Is possible that one Of the gins that is
now run in the country may be moved to
town, and that new oil mill may be built
by the same company that will own the gin
merry. No definite action has been taken, and
none may be taken, but there Is a possibility
of such action. The tendency OF the times
is toward concentration, and there Is advan-
tases 10 be had by being in town, and on a
railroad. The cotton that Is ginned in the
country is hauled 10 town, and the seed, finds
its way to the market here, and there Is no
special reason why the cotton should not be
hauled here In the seed. A bale In the seed
can be bauled at one load, and seed and cot
ton may be sold at the same time, or either
can be held to suit the seller.

Expansion.

At every step looking TO expansion croak
ers have cried aloud, and charged evil things.
When the Democrats were in power they
added millions of square miles to this country
and they sometimes had President with 9
will Of his own, even as the Republicans now
ID have that Kind Of President.
Expansion then Is good Democratic princi
pie, but when the Republicans are in power
Democrats raise objection.
Democrats objected to the Alaskan pur
chase, they objected to the annexation o.
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands, and
now Democrats hold up their hands In holy
MISUNDERSTANDING q monopoly Of honor-and
object to the ratification of the canal treaty
This. too, after the Democrats have claimed
all along that they wanted the canal.
Notwithstanding their changed position on
the canal question whereby they have made
figures Of themselves before the country, the
politicians are talking Of the selection of 6
Presidential candidate.
It has been claimed that the Democrats
could be depended upon to make mistake q,
the right time. This saying seems 10 be true
Now. when Roosevelt is President, and hat
kicked mp more fuss than anybody, and when
the chances seemed fair to defeat him the
Democrats are making asses Of themselves by
going back on all their former professions o
desire 20 have canal. This back.acting fol
no other apparent reason than hatred tol
Roosevelt, or disposition to be kickers OF
obstructionists at time when we can easily
enough get what we most wantAthe canal.
The pretense Of having superior honor to
everybody else as reason for opposing the
canal can only tend TO make the preteEders o
such honor more ludicrous before the eyes'o
the country.
The idea that II was dishonorable In Roose
velt TO recognize Panama does not stand the
test Of reason when so many other govern
ments have done the same thing.
But 1t is likely that the fact that the coun
try really wants the canal and is not ready
TO endorse childish objections to what they
most want, may filter into the brains O
Democratic Representatives in Washington
They will likely not be foolhardy enough tc
try 30 disastrous trick as the defeat Of The
canal, on 30 transparent pretense.
