Rospne and Guggenhpim-
 Morgan Form Combine

Seattle, Nov. 9-J. P. Morgan and the Guggenheims have taken over the Copper River X Northwestern railroad and will furnish the finances for it's inn mediate completion. The deal has been under consideration for long time and was finally consumated in New York today.
 John Rosene. Capt. David H. Jarvis and NJ. K. Rogers have been in the east for more than a month endeavoring to interest capital in the road.
 It is given out that Rosene will be not only a member of the company but one of it's officers.
 The Alaska line which Is thus pro- vided with practically unlimited capital is intended to extend from Valdez on the coast 10 Eagle on the Yukon river, a distance of 476 miles, Surveys have been made for the road via Marshall Pass, Tansuna river, Taral, Copper Center, Chistochina, Mentasta Pass and Tanana crossing to Eagle. Work on the road has been commenced at Valdez and has progressed slowly all through the season just ended. It is possible that the northern terminal of the line may be diverted from Eagle to Fair banks as the latter is more centrally located. If Fairbanks should be select ed the line will go to Copper Center and from there to Fairbanks via Gulkana divide and Delta river. The length of this line would be about 387 miles.

In Time of Peaoe

In the first months of the Russia Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparatioE and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roof in dry weather" The virtue of preparation has made history and given to us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be cured much more quickly when treated as soon as 1t has been contracted and before it has be- come settled in the system. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds and it should be kept at hand ready for instant use. For sale by Wm. Britt.

A Christmas Tree Feature.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
nance the children's delight In the
Christmas tree and, once made. can be
used year after year. Buy up q dozen
or more of 5 and 10 cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues Of spangled gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll should
be provided with a dainty pair Of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa.
per and fastened to the body by means
Of concealed wires. These wires should
be coiled to obtain motion in the wings,
and nothing better al be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out Of
WORKOUT wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral to
quiverlng, causing the wings to move
as If In flight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls in hover.
Ing positions over and around the tree.
The effect is magical. Every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above and around
the tree, as II the invisible fairies OF
the air had come down to join the

Proposed Raid on Our Dispansary.

We all favor the proposition Of our Ander.
son contemporaries whenu urging the building
of trolley line between the two cities. Oh
course Abbevllle Joins In the effort TO build
the trolley. and OF course we all see the
motive behind the move OF our Anderson
friends. They have no dispensary, and some
OF their citizens are nigh ty thirsty.
But no matter what the moving spirit, Alb
beville will do her full share In connecting
the two towns by a new line. The additional
profits IN our d~ispenssry woul pay interest
on our bonds. -. ... .
And then our millinery stores would
prosper SO that they could settle on the prip-
cidal OF the debt when 1t natures. Whiskey
IA millinery will do the WORK. Millinery
makes the woman prettier and more lovely
than angels. Liquor makes some men feel
rich. 1t makes others forget that they are
poor. And Bobbie Burns, we believe 1t was
who said that liquor would bring Us "viotori
ous over all the Ills Of life." So there you
are. Let either or both trolleys come. We
2may be happy yet.
1.-THE trolley from the coast should come by
Greenwood, oursfortune IN liquor is already
made. II we could get the liquor and the
millinery trade OF Greenwood and Anderson
we would be rich indeed.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
Johnny whippen,s New Watch.

Johnny Whippen's new "atcn.
Johnny Whippen wanted q watch OF his
birthday and wanted everybody to know
he wanted It,, For weeks in advance at
breakfast, lunch and dinner he told his
father, mother, sisters and brothers how
he yearned for the timepiece.
His persistent harping on the matter
finally became ~unbearable to the other
members of the family. When Johnny
mentioned the word watch" they be-
came severely. silent. But Johnny kept
right on.
One evening he was sitting in the draw.
ing room with his father and concluded 1t
was a good opportunity to do a little lob
bying for himself.
"Say, pa"
"Pa" laid down his paper on the table
and looked sternly at the boy over his
spectacles.
"Now, Johnny, I am going to put my
foot down on any more Of this watc! TX.
You are making life a burden for ( rest
of us. So If you were intending to a. K
me about the watch, you had better not
say anything further. Don't let me hear
the word again"
Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated.
II was the custom in the Whippen family
for each member to quote q verse of Scrip
ture at family worship each morning.
The day following Mr.. Whippen's ulti-
matum the family, met for worship. It
was Johnny's turn to quote a verse. He
waited until he was sure all present were
attentive, and then he slowly repeated
with great emphasis the following verses:
"What I say unto you I say unto all,
Watch"

New Trolley Lines.

It seems that there Ia q possibility Of Able
Vile getting one of two propo sed trolley
lines, and The Prets and Banner hopes thai
this town may make no mistake In accepting
r rejecting either OF the proposed lovers.
On the subject OF railroads AbbeViile has
perhaps, In the past, made more mistakes
than any other town Of sane people. We
could have goltea the road from Augusta &c
Spsrtanburg II we had given $4,000. But We
wouldn't give 1t.
We could have gotten the Savannah rail-
road, which now runs from Mccormick to
Anderson. A delegation from Anderson
came 10 Abbeville. seeking $1,000 for a road
from Verdery or Bradley to Anderson by way
ofAbbeville, but nobody paid any attention
to them. Mr.. Cade and others offered the
5000, on condition that the road pass
through Bordeaux township. They got the
road.
And then q promising gentleman come
here not so long ago, wanting $1,000 for the
1survey ola road from Anderson to the coast.
He was in a hurry for the money. and indi-
jvidusls advanced, on the promise that the
q people would vote a tax to repay the amount.
The amount was paid. No railroad.
But before all that came along the great
Cumberland Gap railroad was proposed. In.
dividusls subscribed something like So 600.
By a great blast OF trumpets the people voted
about $4,000, but opponents to the scheme
had sufficient influence to have conditions at.
tached, which saved the town from paying
y for q road that never come, and had been
surveyed over the mountains.
The Seaboard Air Line advocates came
along and asked for. We believe, some $4,000.
It was voted. and we have the road.
Well, now, II any body will build a trolley
through Abbeville. this newspaper is in favor
OF voting $4,000 to 1t payable on completion
OF the road 10 or from this town to any other
town.
Let the road come and we Will come down
with the dust. :
The interest Is all that we will have TO pay.
We simply charge the debt to another gener
alton who will get all the advantage.
A new railroad will enhance all the proper.
u hereabout and the business interests will
be greatly benefited. By paying for It ont OF
the public funds nobody feels the mail
charge, but everybody gets his proportional
share Of the benefit. r.,
The Seaboard Shops and the cotton mill
furnish q large per cent OF the money upon
which the business OF the town is done
This increased busin ess has sent the price o,
) real estate ont Of sight. '.-

A Strange Pet.

Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept bys
man was a wasp which Sir John Lubbock
caught in the Pyrenees and resolved to
tame. he began by teaching it to take It'd
meals on his hand, and in a very short
space Of time it grew to expect to be fed In
that way. Sir John preserved this pet
with the greatest care. True, it stung him
once, but then IT. had every excuse for do
ing so. Sir John was examining 1t while
on a railway journey, and, the door being
opened by a ticket collector, he uncere-
m%oniously stuffed it into a bottle, and the
outraged Spaniard, not feeling quite at
home during the process, gave him a gen.
tie reminder as to the proper way to treat
q guest. =, ~, -

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.
The Banquet In Old England Was m
Event of Great Ceremony.

The Banquet In Old England Was N
Event of Great Ceremony.
The Christmas banquet Of mediae.
val times was"a very brilliant affair.
followed by spectacular performances,
particularly at court, where process.
sions, dancing and the acting Of allie
gories were favorite amusements. Be.
sides the representations, the ballet
frequently acted some simple story. A
favorite ;allegory represented Prone
theus stealing tbs spark from heaven
and making his escape, Vulcan. and
Venus forging the bolts Of Jove, the
fall Of Phaeton. the love Of Semele
and its fatal catastrophe, and Love
and Beauty setting the universe on
FIRE with their united power.
From the time Of Henry VIII until
nearly the close of the seventeenth cen
tury boar's head was a favorite dish on
Christmas day. This was an event OF
great pomp and ceremony. After the
guests had assembled around the fes-
tive board the procession Of retainers
appeared. Inenv
Was brought the lusty Drawn
By old blue coated serving man;
Then the grim boar's head frowned on high,
Crested with bays and rosemary.
While round the merry wassail bowl
Garnished with ribbons blithe did trowl
At Queens college, Oxford, the
bringing in Of the boar's head was at.
tended with professional honors. The
boar's head was carried In by the
strongest of the guardsmen, singing q
merry stave.
The turkey as a Christmas dish was
introduced into England In the six.
teenth century and is therefore Of less
antiquity than the huge sirloin Of beet
or the mince pie. Mince pies were first
shaped like a manger, as were the
Yule cakes given out by the bakers to
their customers. Mince pie was also
long ago accepted as typical Of the
riches and spices brought by the three
wise men to the Child in the manger.
The plum porridge later developed
Into the plum pudding, which dates
from 1876. At the old Christmas
feasts peacocks and cranes formed
some Of the dishes. Before being roast.
ed the peacock was carefully skinned,
and after leaving the oven the bird
was reclothed with its old %plumage.-
