The EdeeheId Trolley Line.

It Is proposed 10 n Edgefeld Courl
House and county with the outside world by
means OF Q trolley line. In course Of time
this line will be built. The proposition a,
present is to build q trolley line to oonneo,
with johnson or Aiken. A much more need
cd connection is with the up country.
Edgeield Is as far away from Abbeville 81
H. Charleston. This may sound psradoxica
but 1t is o fact nevertheless. You can go to
Charleston from Abbeville about as quick al
you can 60 to Edgeleld. Yet Edsefeld IL
near, very near.
A trolley line from Abbeville to Edgefeld
would not only be an !nestimable advantage
TO the public, but 1t would also be q payini
proposition.
The road has been graded from Abbeville Il
Troy and II we are mot mistaken the fran
chise Of the old Cumberland gap line has ex
pired. This old road bed could be used to al
1 immense advantage and the question OF get.
ting the Right Of Way would be very small
We believe the people OF Abbeville stand
ready to 9 man to cooperate with the good
people OF Edgefield in building u 6
line. '
The two counties are adjoining and tht
county though which such q line would pas
Is az productive as any lands to be found In
the country. Material help could be counted
o n from the country through which the lin
would pass.
The people are lear ming that when q trolley
line passes through their lands 1t means hal
those lands are doubly enchanced In value
upon the completion OF such a line; and for
that reason they stand ready TO help by RICH,
OF way and by money, which counts.
II the people Of Abbeville and Edgeheld
should make up their minds to cooperate In
such an undertaking the road could be
built. 1t would mean much to the two
towns. Neither would lose but both would
gain.
Abbevi lie is ready and the people along the
line In Abbeville county are ready TO join In
the undertaking.

Mr. Msyill,s Nubbins.

The great fear is that this country Is going
to the demnition bow vows, wherever that
is. The abundant rains on our productive
soil, which has been stirred by industrious
hands while by big mules and plows have
been properly directed, is about TO come to
naught. The corn Is big and crowded. Jud-
ging from q sample ear which MIR. w. T. Ma
Gill recently exhibited at the warehouse 1t
bin which he exhibited was only about thir-
teen inches In length, and ten inches around
the Glrth after the shuck had been taken of.
Considering this ear as q fair sample OF the
corn crop in this county, it behooves our PEG.
pie to husband their resources or else some
body will be going down into Egypt next
spring, looking for the needed grains. Our
people have cried "wolf," "wolf," SO Ions thai
the danger Is that the varmiut may catch US
unawsres.
Already the cotton boil is putting In his
appsarc nee. The frequent rains, the hot
nights, and the warm sunshine has so stimu-
lated the growth ofthe staple that q sight OF
the average cotton field is appalling. Some
bolls are rotting, some forms, or shapes are
falling of, and then about q million hollis to
the smallest area are opening, and which
with broad white faces, are appealing to the
owner TO come and pick them. And this, too,
when the n%eighboring negroes have gone 8
fishing The danger is imminent that the
owner may have to 60 to work. or else allow
great stacks OF the staple, with fits golden
seed, TO 60 to waste.
Some OF the Bible stories we believe tel,
ofthe people who cried, "come over and help
u.s." The rich cotton planter is beginning to
get ready to cry out for the cotton piokers to
"comeo over and help u.s."
And then again there is q story In the Bible
about q big planter who made such great
crops that he had to tear down his little old
barn to build larger n greater structures In
which to store bis product. The fate Of hat
person In the Bible story who had
such big crops Is under present circumstances
enough to scare the Abbeville farmer out Ct
boots. With the knowledge of the fate Of the
man who figured in that story about big
barns fully before our eyes what are our
people TO do!
Shall they build great barns and run the
riak of calamity Of the farmer whose story is
recorded In the Good Book? Or shall they
gather 1t up and suffer the fortune of those
greedy fellows who tried to lay by mana for
more than one days supply, but which GER
tainly spoiled on their hands7 Or, shall they
I'LL their little cribs, and hide the rest OF their
corn under the bed?
This is one time the Press and Banner Is IN
equal 10 the task Of giving advice. however
much we might wish to help our n%eighbors.
The crops in this country barring all that
may be said to the contrary. is just as good
as any man could wish.
All we need now is big barns for corn and
biz facility for storing cotton. Mr.. Magill
can store "dead loads" Oft for you.

The "Real" Prosperity.

At the present time one cannot but
pause and marvel at the unparalleled
prosperity which now hovers over this
progressive nation. Every industry
throughout the country Is flourishlng
as never before, and a full dinner
pair c%onfronts every tradesman and
laborer who is willing to toll. From
east to west and from north to south
comes the demand for men: harvest
time Is at hand and some industries
may suffer for lack of help, There
Is no excuse for a single idler in the
United States under present condi.
lions, neither has there been for some
years past-but Just now the field OF
opportunity Is broader and better than
ever. And the end IL not yet; ad-
vancement Is certain where confidence
Is so pronounced and general. The
country Is without a serf or a slave,
and with plenty Of work at good wages
should inspire everyone with a desire,
from a political standpoint, to leave
well enough alone. Just now there Is
a dearth OF political talk, but never.
theless, 1t Is well to remember that
invariably times are good while the
Republican party holds in. And who
would care TO, or can truthfully deny
It? Let's have no thought of going
back to the dark period of a few
years ago.-Wyoming Press.

ALL DUE TO PROTECTION.
Prosperity in the Past Has Had But
One Source.

In an address at M~arshfeld. Mass,
August %. Congressman Mccall said:
I'VE are pretty near the edge of o
financial setback. Economically an in.
dustrial crisis at this time would be
senseless and wanton, but We should
already have hal one If II prosperity
had not been well nigh invulnerable.'
What was it hat in the past ten
years has made II prosperity well
nigh invulnerable?
Production at the maximum and
consumption keeping pace with pro.
duction.
Abundance Of employment at the
highest wages ever known.
Liberal buying by wage earners at
prices r~emunerative to both manutac.
turer and merchant.
A money market kept steady by ia.
yorable trade balances averaging
close to half a billion dollars a year.
These were the prime factors of our
rock.rooted prosperity.
What has shaken the foundations of
that prosperity?
An insane rage for the disturbance
of sound economic laws and ideal eco
monte conditions. coupled with Ill
judged Nominations against "preda'
tory wealth, and no word of reproach
for predatory political wrcckers OF
business stability.
Foolish and probably unlawful

kIsmet,

Kismet is an Arabic word meaning
fate" or ut is fated." A belief in
predestination is one Of the funda.
mental principles in the Mohammedan
faith. Not only a mans fortune, but
his deeds, and consequently his future
reward or punishment are, according
to this faith, irrevocably, and thus IN.
avoidably, pre-ordained-a doctrine
which has contributed largely to the
success Of Islam by inspiring its cham.
pions with the greatest contempt fol
the dangers Of warfare. When a Mo.
hammedan meets with any disaster or
misfortune, no matter how great, he
accepts the situation calmly, merely
