Welcome to Abbeville.

Mr.. j. C. Roper the new Methodist preacher
has arrived. and has been installed in bis
new home. Although Mr.. Roper ls reported
TO be q wonderfully successful worker, we
are induced to believe that he will have an
easy time In Abbeville. Mr.. P. B. Wells, the
retiring preacher, had SO thoroughly WORKED
the field thatthere seems now to be little for
the new preacher to do, except to keep the
brethren straight. Mr.. Wells soooped in q /
the odd sinners, and all the wondering sheep
hereabout,a majority of whom are still safely
In the fold. II Mr.. Roper, and his church
officers, will only watch the gaps and not let
the Maynard get away. all will be we'll
around at the Methodist Church. Mr.. Roper
had a great success in Darlington, where be
added about fifty to the membership. He
couldn't do SO great O work al Abbeville frr
the simple reason that there are not fifty
stray or unclaimed sheep In the city. They
are all claimed by some Of the churches.
Another matter. Mr.. Roper must not work
too much or hunt around too ZACH. Ths AS
ISOLATE Reformed Presbyterians are In q
straight for recruits. and they have pre.empt-
ed the entire field, where stray sheep may be
found. The A. r. P.'s are very nearly desper-
ate. They have been q Mission church for
some twelve or fifteen years and must annu.
ally suffer the humiliation OF receiving
bounty from the Synod. II they canuot be
more successful, exercise q more captivating
influence over them without the fold, they
must send out INTO the streets and by-ways
and compel better and fuller attendance.
Mr.. Roper will please shinney on his W side
and keep out Of the A. R. P.'s pasture.

ANOTHER PRINTER GONE,

Printing ONCE, Miss Florence vii.
NON Accepts q Position as Bride.

Married. Sunday evening, January 8. 1907.
by Rev. j. G. Roper, Miss Florence Wilson
and Mr.. Lewis Sprouse, all Of Abbeville.
Miss Wilson is o most excellent young
woman who, up 10 the time OF her marriage.
had been employed In the Medium office 40 q
type-setter, and she was q good one, Too. In.
dustrious and attentive TO business, she lie
held In high esteem by her employer
Mr.. Spronse is employed on Seaboard Air
Rise, and having the aid, countenance and en-
couragement OF his charming bride, be
couldn't help from being a prosperous and
useful %citizeD. Having Joined their fortunes.
happiness and good luck will surely come to
them alrths days OF their married life
II seems that printer girls In Abbeville can
not be kept at the case. Worthy young men
appreciate them, aud they are sought In
marriage. More handsome. more lovely or
more charming young women Than the
printer girls of Abbevllle could not be found,
and there 10 no wonder that they cannot be
kept In q printing office. We should not be
surprised at any time 10 hear that the little
archer had filled other hearts al full o farrows
an a porcupine Is OF quilts. The girl printers
in Abbeviile seem to have been favorites with
practical young men who were looking Tor
The best Of wives. Thu fact 10 that the girls
are 30 popular that 1t IL with dlmoulty thai
The boys seem TO know where INDUSTRIOUS
pretty and charming brides are TO be found.
and they don't let us keep q type-setter very
long.
To act type after she married, prospective
| bridegr0oms will please bear In mind that
| good printers are scarce now, and we cam
spare any OF our young ladies before the close
OF the busy season.

That Tillman was scratched something like
5000 rInes In the senatorial primary. But
what of that? He WAS overwhelmingly the
choice OF the State, and 1t cannot be doubted
that bis re selection TO the Senate was very
gratifying 10 his colleagues and associates on
The Democratic side OF that body at least.

ner inherited ability from his distinguish cd

Mr.. Bonner while not an old man, Ia yet an

position which be resu mes. II, therefore, he
turns his attention to church a6airs, his
services VIII be an aquisition to the paper
and q tower Of strength TO the church. But
II bis ability and his energy Is to be directed

Lord have mercy upon US. The church needs
q newspaper, but It has little need for q
purely religious paper.

LegisIatiye Action Demanded.


| The cotton mill presidents In their organ
lied capacity, propose to ark the Legislature
to put a bar 10 the marriage Of their opers
Ives by requiring a marriage license law.
The Southern Cotton Association would
have the Legislature repeal the lien law.
The bar room, or license element OF the
State would have the dispensary law repeal
ed, and rome very sober and temperate people
OF the Slate are now In their political camp.
The News and Courier wants a Law exclud-
Ing from the State all matches that strike on
rats. .... y %
The income tax law is TO be discussed by
people who pay NO income tax.
A number OF persons In this State thiDk the
Legislature should be particula lar as to the
kind OF i'm migrants that should be allowed
to land. Unless q man can bring a good rec
ommendation. and q certificate OF member
ship In a church, he might be sent back.
Those Of our. iellow-citizens b look sus-
piciously at Foreigners, are, as a rule, de-
s~cendants OF foreigners who an Impartial
Jury might say was no better than the de-
splsed Immigrant Of today. 49,,
Some pious people want the Legislature to
look to the preservation OF sharp nosed,
weazen faced, hollow chested, and blesr eyed
boys from the deadly cigarette. The cigarette
In one respect is q most valuable factor In
killing OF such boys. And the legislature
should promote the cigarette BIS bit, 30 that
only strong and healthy boys may grow to
manhood. A hardy race is what Ia desired.
The little weak boys can best serve their
country by giving the cigarette a fair chance
at them.
And then there are others who want the
Legislature 10 close the bucket shops to pre-
vent gam bling. This is like locking the door
after the horse is gone. our people have lost
q mint OF money.
The civic league of Columbia is pulling
strings TO get q State appropriation for the
improvement OF the capitol grounds.

newspapers talk of delinquent subscribers.
This, the Press and Banner thinks Is bad bus
mess. II a newspaper announces that 1t has
credited a number OF subscribers for years,
the cash paying subscribers may conclude to
take advantage of the liberal credit terms.
