The Trolley Line To AbbeVille.

Are we going to build that trolley line
to Abbeville? The people along the line
are ready for such a line and are IN earn.
est in the matter and the business men OF
Anderson and Abbeville should Jake the
matter in hand and inaugurate some plans
by which the road may be built,
Admittedly the interurban trolley Is one
Of the greatest factors in modern progress.
1t builds rural communities and enrlches
cities. But it does not profit the country's
expense. Rather does urban enrichment
come from the rural Prosperity 1t serves
inevitably to produce. ~
The south is far behind other sections In
the growth Of interurban facilities but tne
immediate future bids fair to tell a different
tale. South Carolina and other southern
states within the next ten years will no
doubt find themselves laced over with q
net work Of interurban trolleys. go,
They are too effective as prosperity build
ers for them to be longer unutilized. Iney
turn the advantages Of the city's com
MERGE and entertainment into the country
and they turn the pleasures and the plenty
Of the country into the city.
Where else could the Anderson Iractlon
company branch out into tnterurban eXten-
sions so timely and so advantageously as
in linking their line with the Seaboard at
Abbeville with this artery Of trade, trainc
and advancement?
The Intelligencer Is correct in its pro-
phecy. The trolley system Is sure to come
And nothing, no other instrumentately
could hasten The progress and develop
ment of our two counties as could a trolley
line Joining the two cities.
It is q matter for business men to look
into. AS the Intelligencer says the peo-
along tho route are ready for the PROPOSE
ton. They are ready to give the right OF
way and take stock as well. The money
to build the road can be raised in Anderson
and Abbeville and along the proposed
route of the line.
with the use Of gas cares the price OF
construction will be very materially re-
reduced. fora gas car can be operated on
any line that will accommodate the ordl-
nary trolley car.
1t is in order to find out what the road
can be built and equipped for. We believe
every dollar necessary for its construction
can be raised without calling in foreign
capital to gobble it up. But as for that it
makes no difference who own the o to
us. What we wish is the road. We need
every thing Of the kind we can get. So II
it is possible to get it let's have it.

Mr.. Richard Sondley possesses what
was once a pet lamb but which at present
is a large ram which has put away lam
bis6 things.
A few days ago as a bevy of youngsters
we're on their way to school this woody
bully took it into his thick head to ac-
company them and no persuasion would
turn him from his purpose. So he did.
And as he went he hurried the youngsters
ahead Of him.
He arrived on time at the High school
and followed the school boys in their
lusty scramble for cover directly into the
lower hall of the building. There he
paused q moment to admire the architec-
ture while scampering feet and slamming
doors indicated that little less than a
panic was about to ensue from the advent
Of such an unusual visitor.
The hall was cleared right now" the
sole occupants of the hall in just thirty
seconds were the Superintendent and the
sheep, both looked sheepish, but not for a
long time for the sheep questioned the
right of this stranger to stand in his way
and put the question to action by making
for the superintendent with blood in his
eye, but the superintendent side stepped
and caught the sheep by his horn and led
him out.
Forty boys Immediately volunteered
to take the lamb home and in-as-much
as the superintendent had what boys
call a ~'sneaking" idea that the boys had
something to do with the lambs leaving
home he counted out an escort "milltaire'
and marched them Off under sealed orders

Pistol Toters and the Ledger.

The Gaffney Ledger thinks that a man
who carries a pistol is either O fool or a
criminal.
If the Ledger were stalking around in
the Bad lands it would carry a stick for
r~attlers.
II he we're fishing in tropical waters it
would protect itself against sea urchins.
II it were crossing the Rockies it would
want a big gun for grizzlies.
The Ledger is warmly and snugly
ensconsed in one of the best towns OF the
country, surrounded by finished products
Of civilization. 1t is not in the Bad lands,
it Is not at the south sea, neither is it
crossing the rockies. So the Ledger says
the pistol toter is a "fool or a criminal"
But there are Bad lands and South seas
and Rocky Mountains and all these in
South Carolina, too, where a man needs
protection. The Ledger may not feel the
need of it and we hope it never will, but
it pipes a discordant note when it classes
as either fools or criminals men in South
Carolina who for their protection arm
themselves.
A kid standing on the roof Of a house
once rallied on a wolf going by. TO whom
the wolf replied: not you but the roof on
which you stand rails on me.
Moral: Places often render timid men
brave.
We do not mean to say that the Ledger
is at all timid for it is rather the contrary,
but it is on the roof and not in the bad
Lands"
We can place the Ledger in a certain
environment which, we have in mind, and
In the good old state of South Carolina
too, where it would either go back to
Gaffney by the first train or carry in its
boot leg the longest and biggest and best
shootin' iron 1t could buy.

other half lives, oven in South Carolina

Allowing them Monday and Tuesday
will give each clerk who does not live in
the city a whole day at home as well as
part of Sunday and tuesday.
We believe the merchants of the city
are big hearted enough to give two days
if they are only approached on the sub
iect. Let some one make the rounds with
u petition asking for the two days.
A clerk is more than a machine, with
the longer rest they can do the better
work. 1t would certainly add much to
their Christmas joys to be given another
day.
For the merchants it will he like casting
