The Need Of q Town BuiIder.


There are few towns that could not afford
to organize the Office OF Town Builder, and
there are none that would not profit by the
presence Of an active working town builder
With such an officer TO lead. suggest, or urge,
nearly any community would take q step
forward in the march Of Improvement and
progress.
By cooperation, under the inspiration Of
such an officer. great good would result.
There Is little reason why any community
should not do almost anything, II II had an
Intelligent and active towr-builder. WITH
out such an officer, there is no union offoroes,
and what is every body's business is nobody's
business.
II We had not some active young men In
town, who not only worked without pay and
gave OF their money, we would not have had
the Eureka hotel, Of which We are all so
proud, and which is 80 we'll kept as to elicit
the praise OF the travelling public.
II we had not had other live and active
young men, our old tobacco barn would still
be standing doing business as court houae
and no city hall would now be In the course
Of erection.
1t is not to be expected that old men can
see the advantage or the necessity for i'm.
proVement that comes from blazing out new
ways, and 1t is unreasonable to expect young
men TO give their time aud energy to thu
public, no matter how patriotic or publ.
spirited they may be.
The way to do things is to do things. Tn,
way to have them finished is to begin. Lei
every town then elect the best man In the
city as Town Builder, and then attach suit
able salary to secure his activity in lookini
out for the welfare OF the people and the goot
OF the town. With an able and ef1oien,
Town Builder, the people. by cooperating
with him, can do almost anything.
This editor acknowledges that he has no
been up TO the position OF having favored
some OF the beet things that Abbeville new
has, but be claims to know q good thinf
when he sees IT. and there Is not now q mar
In Aboeville who Is prouder OF our accom-
plishme than this same editor who wa
not enthusiastic about some OF the improve
ments which we have.
But II the people have an active and zeal
GUS advocate OF any worthy cause, the peopl
will lend their help.
Therefore, elect Town Builder, at q goo,
salary, whose business 1t shall be to keep tn
town far IN the lead OF all the other towns
This article is intended to prove that in oul
city we have town builders In fact, and wh
have worked for the town zealously, intell
gently and successfully. If fold men and edi,
ors were to be depended upon for the progress
snairs pace would run over somebody.

sary at Abbeville ever mistreated them? Do
they buy their liquor in Abbeville! II 30,
have they been cheated?
asked the dispenser TO give me an estimate
Of the liquor sold to Due West and he replied
som mething like this: 81 could make no esti.
mate. Many people in the neighborhood OF
Due West buy liquor at the dispensary." To
this replied, something like this :"I am not
asking how much liquor has been sold TO
Donalds. or to Antreville, or to Martins MILL
No estimate has been made. and for this rea.
son cannot tell how much liquor has been
sold In Duo West. cannot believe that the
people Of that town are in any greater danger
to-day than they have been for about fifteen
years. Ifit Ia not the Presbyterian's unkindly

that paper to tell rs what motive prompts its
action at time when It would cut Off tn q
revenue from the dispensary and place q
heavy burden on the shoulders OF all the
people In the county.
The Presbyterian, among other things,
charges fear Of Injury to the students because
OF the proximity Of the dispensary. II q
hundred workmen, right at the door Of the
dispensary, do not fall under Its baleful In.
fuence, it seems to me that hundred stu
dents, surrounded by all the moral examples
and all the safeguards OF religious institrl-
tion at distance OF eleven miles, might be
reasonably safe. or the hundred workmen

Work Day For The Orphanages.

Saturday, September the 18th has been ap-
pointed Work Day for the Thornwell, Con-
ME Maxwell and Epworth Orphanages.
These institutions have six hundred orphan
children in them, and they are provided for
by voluntary contributions. They have just
passed through the summer months, with
their financial stringency, and should now
have an increase In the amount OF contribu-
tions for their support.
The Work Day plan furnishes special OPP
portunity, for grown people and children, TO
give the income OF one day, or the proceedG
OF one days labor to the orphans.
The crop prospects are promising, the
prices are good, and the outlook In the busi-
ness world is encouraging. The Lord has
opened bis hand, and poured out his bless
ings upon US. AS an expression OF our grati-.
tude for bis goodness, we should make some
return to him. "Inasmuch as ye have done
1t unto one ofthe least Of these my brethren,
ye have done 1t unto me-" Cash, groceries
and dry goods will all be acceptable.

Immigrants,

The Anderson Daily Mail, in speaking OF
immigrants, says:
I'VE do need more white peaple in South
Carolina-of the same class a thoae We now
have. We do not want white people who
would be harder to. control than the ne
groes."
Does oar good, friend the Mall think that
white psopls in this country are easier 70
"control than the negroes7"
Dees the Mall think. that any white immi-
grant would submit to the treatment that 10
ordinarily accorded 70 the negres
What does the Null mean, BY controlling
the negros, Does It mean that one citizen
must control another, or dces 1t mean that
white men are sometimee less disposed to
abide the laws Of the county than the negro7
Some Of our much respected friends who
write for the papers seem to think hrst class
immigrants are coming here to be set on In

The self-respecting immigrant. We believe,
would expect to sit at the table with his en-.
ployer and sleep In his bed. and, In addition
to this, no would expect dollar day for bis
services, or words TO that effect.
! People In this country who have the tact
and the wherewithal to pay have no reason to
complain about the service which they re
ceive from the nergo or anybody else.
But when man has neither the tact or tht
money, he generally thinks labor is triains
