II do not think there is the slightest
doubt that the chamber of commerce
will act favorably upon the proposition
to i hold in Los Angeles a Universal
Peace and Commerce exposition"
This emphatic statement was made to
The Herald last night by A. 3. Cass,
former president of the chamber of
commerce and now chairman of the
committee on expositions.
Mr.. Cass was called up at his resi-
dence and informed that a number of
inquiries had been made over the tele-
phone as to whether the exposition COM
mittee had held another meeting yes
terday, and if so, what had been the
result of its deliberations on the propo-
sition, showing the intense interest the
general public is taking in the question.
Mr.. Cass said that the three members
of the committee who were absent from
the city Tuesday night had not re-
turned late yesterday afternoon, but
that they were expected to return last
night or today. and that as soon as he
could reach them he would call another
meeting of the committee.

believe that every member of the
chamber of commerce will be heartily
in favor of the undertaking If it is car
ried on under the plans as outlined at
the meeting Tuesday night.
"On the other hand, 7 believe the
chamber of commerce would make Z
mistake by formally indorsing the ex.
position project until it has beer
demonstrated that the people of the
city are in favor of holding the ex-
position.
This must take the form of subscrip-
tions to the stock of the proposed hold
ing company as an investment.
with the required sum of $10,000,0OO
subscribed then the chamber of COM
merce officially would get behind the
project and send a strong committee 10
Washington to urge upon congress the
practica bility Of making an appropria-
tion of an equal amount, and with
every prospect of success.
Under the plans outlined, the project
appeals to me as good business
proposition, and L declare myself most
heartily in favor of it."

Cant We HIVE a New Cotton Mill?

The Seaboard Round House Is to be re-
built. In addition to this, the Seaboard will
build a wood shop and a blacksmith shop.
Iron dispatchers and other officers, It is said,
will be transferred to Abbeville. All their
improvements and the employment Of many
men will do much for Abbevllle.
Now, can't Abbevilie do a little for itself.
The electric company Will send power from
the Savannah to Abbeville. A little effort on
our part would secure the building OF another
cotton mill. The furniture factory, 1t Ia be-
lleved, could be changed into a spinning and
knitting mill with profit TO the Stockholders
and with advantage to the town.
Or, II q trade could not be made with the
furniture stockholders, a little effort on our
part would secure another mill. If we DO q
little, the machinery men and other mill
men will do more.
If the expense OF a steam plant Is saved
and II we can use electricity at small cost
there Ia no reason in the world why we
should not build another mill. We have
plenty of land and water. We have plenty o.
clay and can make all the brick that may be
needed. Our people are prosperous and are
abundantly able to take stock.
A little effort would bring great quantities
of money and people to our town, and the
bringing OF men and money would enhance
the price o fland, increase the volume OF busi
ness, and benefit us all.

A Matter Of Conscience?

The Columbia Record shows up the ludi.
CT business mills township trustees in re-
fusing to accept dispensary profits for their
schools. II the Mills township trustees are
right, then the Presbyterian Theological
Seminary in the years that are past, was ter
RI bly, wrong or wofully amiss on the subject
OF accepting whiskey profits. AS We under
stand 1t the not-so-long.ago, q portion OF the
endowment fund OF that divine institution
was invested in the bonds Of the city OF
Columbia A large part Of the revenue ofthe
city was for barroom licenses. But we have
never heard ofthe Theological Seminary re-
fusing interest. or the payment Of the princi-
pie, in money taken from the treasury OF the
city. The money for bar room licenses, we
presume, was purified, disinfected, or fumf
gated by the city council before reaching the
portals OF the Seminary.
Before passing Judgment on the act OF the
Mills township trustees II is necessary TO
know their motive. The probability Is that
liquor, or the profits on Its sale, had little or
nothing 10 do with their act. II not solely
from a political standpoint. they may have
been governed by the desire for a little cheap
notoriety. 1t is hardly fair to charge them
with being governed by q reasonable degree
Of intelligence, and a proper regard for the
correct Discharge Of their o~facicial duties.

All Share in the Prosperity.

Within the last few years lumber, brick and
other building material of all kinds have been
greatly Increased in price. Labor commands
q much higher price than ever before. Labor
according Individual interests and ~capabili-
ties, ranged in former years from so 10 rs cents
a day. Now few laborers can be induced to
work for less than q dollar a day or ten cents
an hour. Recently q demand was made for
sl.l0 0 day. In that instance the demand
was refused.
The prices of land and homes In town are
very much higher than in the recent past.
Homes are scarce in Abbeville, and the de-
mand 10 great. The rent on small houses has
an upward tendency. But the increased
wages OF those who labor enable them TO
pay q slight increase Of rent more easily than
they formerly paid for the lower rent.
The high price OF cotton has brougt q de-
gree OF prosperity never before known to our
people. The cotton mills OF this State give
permanent employment to many thousand
persons, their services are withdrawn from
the farms, and we have to loo to improved
machinery and greater energy to make good
the deficiency in labor. And deficiency IN
labor causes increase in price Of all farm and
machine products.

Our good brother Aull OF the Newberry
Herald and News Is always energetic, public
spirited, and progressive all along the print
ing lines. This week he prints an illustrated
edition Of the Herald and News, on fine
paper. In this edition Is much valuable In
formation about the stirring scenes between
1851 and 1855. The occasion OF this edition
was the unveiling Of the Confederate monu.
ment which are inscribed the names Of all
the Confederate dead OF Newberry. The
names OF the soldiers are there. But the
names Of the Confederate women are
omitted. Only their good dees are noted.
Their labor of love lightened the burden OF
thei r husbands and lent encouragement and
hope to their brothers. Husbands and
brothers went TO early graves. Happy
wives became mourning widows. Their
dreams Of happiness were q delusion.
And through all those years they have
marched alone along the dreary road to
the grave. The whole issue of the Herald
and News ought to be printed In a book and
every man In Newberry ought to buy a copy
OF II.

Does the World Pass Away 2

DR.. Torrey is making great warfare In At
lanta against sin, and has established q re-
crui,ing station for those who may desire 10
enlist for the transfer OF their citizenship 10
"the holy CITY," Among other things. Dr.
rorrey ? is quoted as having said recently;
Coming home one day I noticed my father
had a sad look on his face, and asking MN
garret in New York city the wife and two
daughters Of Mr.. P-,"-1my fathers paitneIl
--"lterally starving for the bare necessities OF
life"
The "wife and two daughters" 1t seems 10
US had a sufHciency Of the necessities OF
life" But 1t may be hat the "necessaries"
were scarce.
Again: DIR. Torrey said:
And q few months later I read In the Sun
thai he was dead. AS far as ! know, IL was
the only paper In all America maj mentioned
ni. death It and yet @, once e. he sn see msn i in I ahe s enc
ate. The world passeth away.
sit don't make much difference whetner
they carry you TO the cemetery from q palace
or from q hut You will both occupy the
same amount Of space in the burial ground.
The world passeth away"
1.-THE world passeth away" seems to be a
~favorite expression and a misleading state
ment by DR.. Torrey. The world does not pass
away. 1t is here now 1t has been here for q
long time; and as far as the human mind
can discern, 1t will be here yet FOR quite
awhile. The people who inhabit the eartn
pass away, but the old terrestrial ball Is per-
manently in busine ss at the old stand.
Some OF the stories which the Doctor tells
are too ludicrous for appearance In a book
OF Sunday schools stories.
A love story that does not end In marriage
or suicide lacks something. But when men
women and children become abnormally
coed the Lord generally takes them home as
soon as possible. 1t Is this fact, which, we
presume, prevents 80 many heretics from be.
coming shining lights.
The Doctor tells stories Of death-bed repent
ance, and seems totally oblivious 10 the fact
that the best and most intelligent minds no
longer believe In such professions. 1t Is true
that an irreligious man on his deathbed may
be afraid of the devil, even as a child Is afraid
OF his offended father. The dying Is sorry
that he 10 about to get bis deserts, even as the
little boy Is sorry that he Is about to be pun
ished. Both fear TO meet the consequence Of
their misdeeds, but that Is no ground for the
belief hat they have repented Of their sins.
Repentance and dread Of punishment are
lutte different things. The almost unani-
nous testimony Of those who study this Iaat'
ter, we believe Is, that men die as they live.
But, as another has said The holding up
OF the terrors of the law has its good effect In
soaring negroes and ignorant white folks Into
the church."
1t is 80 much more easy to scare people
than to instill into their minds and hearts
the good principles that include the cardi-
nal doctrines, that some preachers may be e1-
cused for resorting TO the terrors of the law.
It is easier to scare chi ckens into a coop than
is 10 teach them to roost on a higher limb.

Bamberg Warehouse.

The Bamberg Herald Is urging suoscrip-
lions to the capital stock OF a warehouse IN
that town, II same ideas prevail in Bam-
bay that govern In Abbeville the Bamberg
Warehouse would be a paying Investment.
Stock in the Abbeville Warehouse has never
sold below par. A company was organized
about five years ago. In q little while mueh
OF the stock changed hands at and above par.
At the end of two years the stock went up TO
Sl9O thu share of 500. In another year. the
Farmers bought It at $50 a share. Last week
they refused q big advance on that, and not
q seller to he found.
The fact is, that our farmers had been stor-
ing their cotton under trees without cash
outlay that they we're slow to adopt new
methods, and not SC many stored their col
TON for q year or two after our warehouse
was built.
One room was enough for the first year;
the business increased every year, and add
tional houses were built. Four two story
compartment Is 40 or 30 by 100 feet were insufh'
cient last year. and an acre OF ground wa
rented for q month or W when cotton soon
covered 1t. The capacity OF the warehouse
IL 4 900 bales. At Is cents q bale per month
this brought In a right good sum. The man
ager Mr.. Magill was a new man at the begin.
ming of the last season, and he hadn't learned
how TO draw big salaries. 1t 1t hadn't been
for the unreasonable charges for insurance
the company, at $500 a month storage
fees, would have made q surplus worth talk
ing about. Much OF the cotton has been sold,
and only 5000 bales now remain In the house
II our Bamberg friends will write to Mr.. R,
E. Cox, they may learn something TO their
advantage about insurance.. He has succeed
ed In reducing the Abbeville insurance on
cotton down from 20 cents a bale to less than
10 cents q bale.
