What About a New Cotton MIL.

We want to burn II into your noggln that
Abbeville needs another cotton mill, and
that need can be supplied by q united
effort. where all will lend a helping hand.
=. The $500, 900 mill which we now have was
started on q small capital. When about
$4,000 was subscribed the directors let the
contract for a $4,000 mill house. When the
house was finished the directors gave their
individual note to the builder for sl4, 500. By
continuous effort the mill was built, the PEG.
pie OF Abbeville first and last put in about
$4,000.
Owing to unfortunate condition the mill did
not pay for the first several years, but under
Mr.. Harris's management for the last two
years the mill has been q phenomenal sue
cess. AS We understand. the mill Is now out
OF debt, and a dividend will be paid on all the
stock on the first OF July.
But whether the mill pays a dividend or
not ID OF but little concern to the people of
Abbeville. Our people have sold their stock,
but the mill Ia here, and 1t pays out to our
people annually about SlOO, 600 in salaries or
wages.
Ont Of the sixty original stockholders in AT
beville perhaps fifty have disposed of their
S HNA ohoio wax dDOuI lcu ~
twenty dollars, and there is not one OF the
lumber who regrets the Investment or tn
loss.
Don't forget that you are not expected TO
Keep your stock In a new mill. If you prefer
TO sell 1t. This editor takes stock In any.
thing. and II not convenient 10 hold It we
don't mind losing ten or twenty per cent. on
a reasonable amount. To get a new mill
In town We would be willing to give
a reasonable amount without any stock
at all, but by subscribing a larger
amount and selling at a discount much more
help Is given.
But, with careful management under a
normal condition Of the market, loss is next
to impossible. With the present. good man.
agement the Abbevelle Cotton Mill is max
Ing stacks Of money, and, as far as we know,
all the we'll managed mills are making good
dividends.
We DO not go into these enterprises to make
dividends. We don't care whether they psy
dividends or not. We want the mill tina,

Will spend their money for goods or
property. Vaudeville SO wills II, this Town
can get a big mill by subscribing for $50, 600 q,
Inc stock. The mill will pay big salaries to
several officers and hundreds OF mill people
Will get good jobs. After We have paid the
$4,000 we can sell the stock for its marke,
value, and after realizing on the stock we
have secured the mill and are out very little
money.
A united effort and q pull all together will
get the mill.

HOW TO ACT AT A HOTEL.
Best Plan of Registering and Get
ting Wants Attended To. -.

A man accompanied by his wife
should not drag her into the crowd
that hangs around the office, as two
thirds Of them do. He should first take
her to the parlors, leave her there and
20 to the Office alone. When he has
registered and been assigned a room,
he should 60 and get her.
When the boy has shown them the
room, the guest should not hesitate to
say so If he does not like 1t. There are
doubtless others empty, and 1t Is the
clerks place to try to. please.
Another great blunder is not to ask
the price Of the roo before looking at
1t. Many a man feels reluctant to do
this, but 1t is purely business. If the
price does not suit, he can kick, but
there is no use complaining after the
bill is vent In and saying that he has
been overcharged, that he has been
there before and always had a lower
rate and all the many things that a
man is apt to think about when he is
ready to leave.
When q woman Is alone, she should
not 20 to the Office. All that is neces-
sary is to take a seat in the parlor and
send her card to the clerk, stating
whether she wants a bathroom or not
and exactly the kind Of accommoda-
tons she wants. -
She should frankly say If she w1shea
a quiet room, a small room, an mex
pensive room or any preference she
may have.
Despite all the printed warnings on
hotel walls it Is almost impossible to
get women to send their valuables to
the Office safe. Why? 1t is q mystery:
But the owners prefer, as a rule, to
take the chances. Then, If a loss &C.
ours, they blame not their W care
lessness, but the hotel management.
Another thing: Trunks should be
kept locked. Every hotel tries to get
honest help. No hotel can guarantee
that all its employees are or always
will be proof against temptation. Ev-
cry hotel asks its patrons not to tempt
them.

The Boy In Patches.

A country exchange asks, what has
become of the boy in patches" And
then answers it thus: Why. bless your
soul be is out on the farm hopping
clods sixteen hours a day. He will
come to town after a while to run the
banksand the stores and be the success
full lawyers and preachers and physi-
clans. Don't worry about the boy in
patches. It's the slick-looking, store
clothed, nicely groomed lad you want
to inquire about. He's the fellow that's
going to drop through a crack in the
sidewalk out of sight n of these days.

Don't Contend Over Technicalities.

Is about $500 and the vote polled In theirecent
antI-dispensary fight was little more than
! 0J0 votes, 1t Is In bad form for the dispense.
~ people 10 try to undo the election because
OF any lack ofenthusissm on the part OF the
friends OF the dispensary.
We believe that once the will of the people
interested is known, however many may
not have participated in an election, that
that decision, and not the order OF the
Courts, should be final. }
1t is authoritativsly stated that corn went
up fifteen cents per bushel the next day after
the closing Of the Pickens dispensary. In all
probability 1t will be cheaper in It's liquid
state IN q short while there.

How to Care For the Eyes.

When the eyes ache, relieve them
by closing the lids for five or ten min

minutes. If they are bloodshot yot

In a draft. If they have q burning

been added. If the whites Of the eyes

CONFIDENCE GAME FAILS
TO FOOL MEXICO MAN.
Smooth Hoax is Tried on ], w. Boles
Who is to Smart for the Game.

j. W. Boles, of this city, retired
from an encounter with a confidence
game to-day with colors flying.
On Monday Mr.. Boles received a
letter from II. A. Everett, Of Dead
wood, S. D., who claimed TO be execu-
tor of the estate of O. H. Harding,
who was an old friend Of Mr., Boles
and because of some act Of friendship
to Harding years ago, left Boles an in
surance policy for $500 in gold bonds
AS j. L. Ferguson, the trustee, Of
Leeds, S. d., did not know bis address
he took this opportunity to inform
the Mexico man that there was $S5
premium due on the policy and the 60
days, for paying this would be up
April 9Th. He (Everett,l ssnt a per-
sonal check drawn on the 1st National
Bank of Butte, Mont, for the amount
claiming that he did not know Boles
financial standing.
He said that the check should be
Dashed Immediately and a draft for the
amount sent to Ferguson who would
express the bonds to him G. o. d. $S5
which would pay him (Everett). In
the end the confidence man would
have been s170 ahead Mr.. Boles,
knowing of no friend of that name,
Immediately had Mexico bank wire
the first national bank at Leeds and
this morning he received potice not
to cash any checks from Everett and
that the game had been worked sew
eral other places in this Stae.
The game is rather crude, but to a
man that would not think over it and
jump at conclusions, 1t would be quite
possible.
