stal plains and the Appalachian
Mountains. This is an uplifted Pc
ne-plain with hilltops rising to a
nearly uniform level with here and
there a monadnock standing above
the general surface. Hence the
streams sink their valleys between
the pene-plain causing perfect dra-
image on all sides. The general
geological formation insures a
climate that cannot be surpassed.
A perfect sewage system insuring
sanitary and hygienic conditions
difficult to attain in less favored
sections. A mean annual tempera-
ture of6o degrees, with an altitude
of 900 feet makes the climate eq-
liable and healthy, allowing out
door life practically all the year
round. Diminished barometrlc
pressure and consequent raretact-
ion of the atmosphere increases
the asepticity of freedom from
pathogenic germs. The high alti-
tude compensates for the influence
of latitude, so thatit is cool in su-
INNER with dry air, making an un-
usally attractive condition for tu-
bercular people. Natural drainage

ABBEVILLE's BUSINESS MEN

Generally speaking the business
men of this little city are young
and ambitious; they are willing at all
times to entertain any proposition
that has for its purpose the better
ment and upbuilding of the city.
They extend a hearty welcome to
all new comers who are worthy OF
their consideration. They are
progressive and conservative, and
are careful to do nothing that
would in any way reflect upon the
fair name of the city. This care
and diligence is reflected in the
substantial and continuous increase
in the volumn of the cities traffic.
Abbeville is growing rapidly aud
iudicious action is very essential.
The city is one of the best govern
ed municipalities in the state and
and is continually being pointed
OFT as an example of what can be
done when selfish political inter
ests are sacrificed in favor Of the
general good of'the community.

and honestly administered.
1t has been said and said truly
that the fnanciers of Abbeville and
Abbeville County have at all times
resisted the temptation to plunge
into, hazardous and questionable
enterprises. Nevertheless there is
abundant evidence of the liberal
policy of the directors of their
banking institution in the sub
stantial growth Of manufacturing
and commercial interests. No

swelling of the volumn ofthe bank
ing business of this community,
neither do transactions of spec

as published throughout the coun-
try IN comparison with the clearing
house statements from other cities.
Another feature of the banking
system o. Abbeville is their savings
departments, their reports show
ing that, they are all in the most
prosperous condition. AS pro-
moters of econimy and saving
these features of our banks are
most potent.

to their children, as pioneers have
done in all new countries since the
down of civilization. So IN the
outset of this issue of the Press
and Banner it is better, inlieu OF
all profession, to state that IS IN
no way a purpose to publish a
work, but on the contrary, this
edition is devoted to the induce
ments, advantages and opPor-
tuniies Abbeville and Abbeville
County have to offer the home
seeker. manufacture and investor.
The city is so admirably situated for
manufacturing sites and so con-
vienietly traversed by railroads, as
we'll as so completely hemmed in
by large and fertil agricultural
sections, that it ismost inviting to
the home-seeker and to the manu-
facturer.
Abbeville is the county seat OF
Abbeville county, the county was
formed in 1885.
The advent of the Abbevllle
Cotton Mill and Shops of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway was the
beginning of the busy town and ii
has grown steadily since that time

and freedom from outlying swamps
with their accompanying decaying
substances make malaria almost
an unknown disease, typhoid fever
occurs only sporadically. Persons
suffering from Asthma and Hay
Fever show marked improvement
in their condition after short re-
sidence. Scattered throughout the
country are many springs of ever
flowing water which have unusal
medical properties especially in
the treatment Of kidney diseases
and their kinered ailments.
With wisdom that is not usually
in the building Of a
town, the first resident ofthe place
left standing many of the original
forest trees, and since many others
such as willow oaks, palmetto and
maple trees have been set out on
the streets, the result is that Abb

REAL ESTATE opPoa1uHIsIEs

Real Estate men are doing more
business and there is greater de
mand from the outside fer our pro-
perty than lever before. This is
not a boom, but a substantial
growth and development that
inevitable follows advantages that
Abbevill enjoys. Business ioez--
ton and residence property have
enhanced from'ten to twenty per,
cent according to the location Of
the property Business property
in Abbeville can be bought for
$1,000 to 5000 front foot. Resi-
dence property for $1,000 to sao.-

that real estate investments at
