Need Of a Laundry.

We believe about $50 week Is being sent
ont of Abbeville by the various agents OF the
different laundries situated in other towns.
This means II we are not in error business
OF 81, 400 year.
HAS goods could be laundered as chesply at
home as elsewhere, and II we had home
laundry, drayage. freight and agents commits
sions could be saved, We see no reason why
q good home lau pdry should not do larger
business than Is now done by agents OF out OF
town laundries.
= II is said that Mr.. Norwood contemplates
supplying the demand at his Ice factory, but
OF this we are not sure. 1t might be we'll for
Mr.. Norwood or others to look into this mat
ter.
The right man with the right plant, 1t
seems to US, could make money for himself
while serving the people. Mr.. Norwood Will
have the steam power and the house room.

Prohibition in Cherokee.

The Columbia Record guys the GafIney
Ledger on its faith in prohibition, and says
sometimes the best rhen are deceived.
Abbeville had lesson on prohibition, and
the Press and Banner believes that this peo.
ple has n reason to believe that their e1pe-
rience with prohibition is either better or
worse than will be the experienc ce Of the peo-
ple of other communities.
We are ready to believe that prohibitionists
at Gaffney or elsewhere may be for time,
pleased with prohibition. We are ready to
believe that they think prohibition Ia an ideal
thing. This editor was prohibitionist until
he was mora than fifty years OF age. Years
ago Abbeville tried prohibition, and for a few
months the town was as dry as the proverbial
powder house. A change suddenly came and
LIQUOR was openly sold. And temperance
men hereabout wanted return to the license
system, And we bad sutticiency Of bars
before the dispensary.
This EDITORS testimony would be, that the
dispensary ia the best and most satisfactory
manner OF controlling the LIQUOR business.
II reduces the treating habit. The treating
habit is the foundation or the beginning Of
intemperance.

About IL o'clock yesterday morning Mr..

Mr.. Brook. The negro cut Miss Brooks
throat 80 seriously that she Is hardly expect.

Bulletin from the Abbeville exchange have
been received as follows:

What IL The Matter With Us
Have we gone TO seed :
Are we all asleep?

Have we gone TO seed:
Are we all asleep?
The good people Of the Seaboard AT Line
want to come to Abbeville, as Abbeviile is IN
the center of the division, 10 establish head
quarters, bot the present outlook for homes
is such that they are baked.
:. Here is partial list: One Superintendent
one Chief Clerk for Superintend, four clerks
for superintendent, one chief train dispatcn'
err, six train dispathers, three telegrapher
and one car accourter. Am' NJ these there
twelve heads Or families.
Where are they TO live:
We are acting ON the presumption that u
makes no difference TO us-as II 1t Were none
of our business whether residences are fur-
nished these gentlement or not.
These men receive salaries sgsrt gaung
twenty thousand dollars per year. "hey are
gentlemen that we are only too glad to have
In our midst. They are men that will help
build up the town.
If Abbevills expects to keep pace with all
her sister cities she must wake up.
or course It Is a physical impossi6ility to
build q dozen houses before the first OF Sep
tember. but these men would want TO know
with some degree OF certainty that buildings
will be erected In the near future.
This tardiness on our part is not without
some mitigating circumstances. The con-
tinued and repeated reports that the shops
were to be moved away from Abbeville have
frightened our people to stand still.
Now, however. 1t is an assured fact that the
shops are here to stay. and 1t is fact that we
have known for months, yet we have done
nothing.
We must do something and do 1t aow.

Growth Of Cotton Mills.

The increasing growth OF the size and mum
Der of the cotton mills in the South is the
best evidence OF prosperity.
The Increased demand for cotton brought
the prices up to figures which made cotton
growing profitable farm product.
Realizing that the increased demand for
cotton had had good effect On the price, the
people have been disposed to build more
mills.
The cotton mills act in two ways for the
benefit OF the farmer. They increase the de-
mand for the staple, and they reduce the
number OF producers.
flour cotton mills were to close down. great
multitudes Of people would leave the loom
for the field, thus reducing the demand and
increasing the supply of cotton.
In these facts are found the strongest argu-
ment In favor OF the Gotten mill or other In
dustrial enterprise.
Under good management fair dividend Is
paid on the money invested in cotton mill.
Every operative that quits the farm reduces
the crop 10 that extent. and every mill In
creases the demand - the extent Of It's con-
sumption.
With circum stances or facts like these 1t ls
not surprising that there should be growing
disposition among our people 10 build new
mill at Abbeville.
Another cotton mill would be OF benefit 10
all the community. Laborers, mechanics snd
mill men would be offered gr'a'er oppoF-
tunity for earning money, and the money IN
their hands would 60 out into all the avenues
OF trade and commerce. while the land about
here would 60 up in price.

After Forty Years.

The monument is in place. and It is, by
universal consent beauty. The little scrub
by trees around 1t we're planted In lS5S-near-
~ Il fly years ago. AS some of them are now
not much larger than q cabbage head, we
suggest that some OF those around the monu-
ment be cut down. The rain that falls
through the leaves may tarnish the beauti.
ful granite out of which the monument ia
cut Let us keep 1t clean and nice as long as
possible.
The monument, we believe. is for the con-
federate soldier, with no Discrimination
against those who may be still living II ls
TO be dedicated to the valor Of the confederate
soldiers of Abbevills county, including those
from that part Of the county that has been
cut off.

Be Not Deceieed.

The dispensary management is not half as
corrupt as its enemies would have the people
believe. The fact is, we believe the dis
pensary folk are about as honest as some Of
their accusers.
What we need Is better enforcement OF
the law. Any change OF the general policy
appears to be concession to the liquor ele-
ment.

PATTERSON STRONG
FOR SEPARATE STATEHOOD

A mistake was made In the dis
patches from Washington published
In the New Mexican yesterday in the
item concerning United States Sen.
ator Thomas M. Patterson. Several
dispatches from Washington were be.
Ing edited at the same time and
through an oversight it was made to
appear that Senator Patterson made
a strong speech in favor Of the Ham
ilton joint statehood bill, when, In
fact and reality. he spoke upon the
Democratic caucus action and the
San Diego treaty. From a dispatch
received today it is learned that Sen.
ator Patterson Is still strongly against
the Hamilton joint statehood bill and
that there Is no likelihood that he will
vote for 1t. He is a staunch supporter
Of separate statehood for New Mex.
