A. R. P. 0rphanage.

We believe the Associate Reformed
Presbyterians are contemplating the es'
tablishment Of an orphanage for the bene-
fit Of such children in this county as may
be fatherless and who may need home.
These good people, we believe, have long
been sending physicians, schools, hospi-
tails, orphanages, and other desirable
things to Mexico, and it is special pleas
ure to note the possibility Of their now
giving a care to the needy and the father
less at our own doors.
If we are not in error, they have an eye
on Greenwood as good place to locate
their orphanage. Greenwood is no doubt
good place for an orphanage. The sue
cess Of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage
must be great pleasure to the people OF
that town, while furnishing an object les
son for the A. R. P.'s.
The care Of orphans appeals to the kind
ly heart OF men in all the stations and in
all the relations Of life.
1t must be source Of heartfelt pride to
all lovers Of humanity if it be true that
the Associate Reformed Presbyterians
take seriously to the work which has for
its purpose the' blessing Of the fatherless
children Of our own blood. The feeding Of
little Indians in Mexico is a noble work,
but the feeding and the clothing and the
teaching Of our own little children is the
grandest work in which anybody can en-
gage.
While as between Greenwood, and all
other places on earth, we should prefer
Abbeville, as the home Of the orphanage,
we are glad to see the attention Of the A.
R. P. people directed to better and a
higher purpose than that Of fooling away
vast sums in Mexico.

Greenwood County Negro Writes From
Cairo That il Wasn't He.

Greenwood, Nov. 2s.SThe report that
the negro lynched in Cairo, ILL.,, some time
ago was well known Greenwood county
negro, is now ascertained to be incorrect.
City Clerk W. G. Calhoun is just in receipt
Of letter from the negro, Will James,
dated at Evanston, Indiana, Novemb Der 1S,
acknowledging receipt Of tax receipts on
some lots the negro owns here. In the
letter, he says:
81 am very sorry to hear from my good
white folks that they Is thinking am
linched. Don't they know know. my right
hand from my left. To let you know this
Is me, don't you know I had along talk
with you and Sheriff Mcmillan about -
This conversation was mentioned to prove
his identity. He further says, 81 am sorry
that you all think am linched. Tell all
the good friends am not linched, I hope
to Sc you soon."
Greenwood county was not particularly
anxious to set up claim as the home OF
the Cairo fiend and Is therefore anxious as
Will himself to set him right.

willing to contribute to its construction
The question now is shall Abbeville win
this proposed road?
Long ago ABbevile missed the G. d w, c.
road in it's refusal to give $4,000.
A little later Abbeville missed the Sa-
vannah Valley railroad, because Of our
refusal to give $4,000.
Abbeville spent about $4,000 in personal
subscriptions for the Cumberland Gap
road, and the road is not here yet.
The last venture that we made in build.
ing double track railroads. in the air from
nowhere to nowhere was in the survey OF
road from some unknown point on
the Blue Ridge to an unidentified spot on
the coast That enterprise cost us, we
believe, about $4,000.
When feasible offers are made with pos
sible chances of success we too often
reject them.
When visionary and impossible schemes
with big promises that ought to fool no
body are offered we too often grab at them
like trout grabs minnow.
We are not informed about the trolley
line. It is at least worth investigating
Unless we do something for the benefit of
the town, this old berg will hibernate for
another hundred years. We remained in
seclusion in torpid condition for GEN.
tury, and then walked up for ten years
during which decade OF wakefulness
the old town grew more than it did in a
century Of slumber.
II new railroad should come here
while We sleep there is no telling what
we might dream. We might wake up
and build new cotton mills, and new
cotton mill would give US ten years more
Of prosperity. But we need not put out
guards to keep the trolley from coming
while we sleep. 1t is not going to come
unlimited. The cost Of entertaining the
trolley will likely be at least 800 plate
for each man who aspires to, be it's host
II we could get trolley for $50 plate, its
presence for all time would be worth more
to Abbeville than Taft's stop for few
hours in any city. y

Toy Pistols,

Toy pistols are not only nuisance, but
they are dangerous to life and limb. A
year or two ago little boy in this town
lost leg from the accidental discharge OF
a toy pistol or toy gun.
Last week another little boy lost his
life from bullet wound Of toy gun.
One little boy in his grave; another
manned for life, and going on crutches is
enough to make men think.

Honestly.

Will you tell anybody which of the mis-
sionary stories you believe?
Do you believe that the heather or any
body else Is converted from the religion OF
his fathers to ours, inEan instant?
Nearly all the people in every land have
some form Of religion. To make a radical
change in any mans religion you must
first shake his faith in his own religion.
And there is always an intervening sea-
son OF infidelity before a man can accept
another or new religion. Will any body
deny this?
In the Bible times many men performed
miracles, but we believe that nobody In
these days, except missionaries, ever
claim to do the impossible or to perform
miracles.
Another thing. There are always fail
ures in everything, except in the mission
ary business, in which business, they
always succeed, according to their OWL
stories.
But let one thing be said to the credit
and honor and truthfulness Of the A. R
P. missionaries. If they ever claimed tt
have performed miracles, We have failec
to notice the fact.
The ludicrous stories Of the alleged sue
cesses Of missionary companies il
other churches are only amusing tt
people who do not lose their heads
When a missionary Of mediocre abilit!
attempts to overcome the heredity anC
the environment of a strange people HI
has attempted d big job.
Another remarkable thing about per
forming miracles in a foreign land is th'
ease with which people who never convert
ed a soul at home can do the impossible
abroad.
And another remarkable thing abou
these miracles Is, that we never see an!
report of such performances, 'excep
when reported by the same performers O
impossible things.
