SAN SALVADOR, Oct. ~, 1892.
America was discovered here
this morning by Commodore Chris
topher Columbus, the well-known
and intrepid explorigator of Genoa
and Palos. He found America
looking very well, thank you, but
was somewhat thin and scrawney
himself, owing to scurvy treatment
en- route.
Columbus left Palos, Spain, on
August 3, with three ships and 119
men, and was at sea exactly So
days IS hours 10 minutes. elapsed
time. The dramatic finish to this
search for America came when he
stepped ashore from the dingy
Pinta's dingy, with his sword in
one hand and an itching palm i'll
the other.
Columbus is being lionized by
the decollete society here. His first
words to the reporters who crowd
ed about hi mwere:
where is the United Press Of
fice?"
When told of Doc Ericson's
claim, he cried:
Suspend judgment. Ericsson is a
cheap fakir. He is trying to hand
the world gold brick. l am the
only true discoverer. I have the
goods on him. Watch for my com,

The Value Of Long Service in Congress.

The voters of the Third Congressional
district will at the August primary noml-
nate a man to represent them in Congress
from March, 19i1. The present incum-
bent, Wyatt Aiken, stands for reelection,
with a Mr.. Mann as q competitor. one
has had eight years experience as con-
pressman, while the other has had nc
Legislative experience except as u
of the State legislature. ,
Tn this connection it will be OF interest
TO read the views of leading statesmen III
reference to the value of long service IN
Congress, SO we quote the following from
a speech by President Taft:
why is it that the small States OF the
East exercise so much power in Congress!
IT is not because an eastern man has any
more capacity in the matter OF Legislation
than q western man-certainly not more
than an Ohio man. 1t is because when
they get O good representative they Keep
him as long as he lives, and then he has
the influence that vastly exceeds the mere
numerical representation Of population
SDeaking on the same subject the Hon.
Champ Clark said:
Men should not be sent hither simply
to crafty their W personal amDltlons;
hut because they can be OF service, anu
having proved that they are or service
wisdom dictates that they should be KEEP

We see it stated that the State Of Georgis
is about to appropriate a large sum tt
equip a sanitarium for the treatment OF
tuberculosis. The difference between
Georgia and South Carolina is, we believe
that South Carolina provides a breeding
pen in the p~enitentiary for the develop
ment Of tuberculosis, so that when q
victim may be said to be in the very grip
of death from the disease, the Governor
may pardon him so that he may 60 out

.. DR.. Daniel and Columbia.

/. In the course Of a ermon preached in
Lexington recently DR.. J. w. Daniel a
former pastor Of the Abbeyille Methodist
church, made a severe araignment Of his
present home city, Columbia. He said
that Columbia, the capital Of the proud
. State OF South Carolina, is the wickedest
city south Of Philadelphia. He said that
there were more debauched young men
and young women in and around Column
bia than any other section Of the State.
Columbions have taken umbrage at the
doctors sweeping statement and would
have him specify more explicitly wherein
Columbia is worse than other cities her
size. DR.. Daniel says that he will preach
the same sermon In Columbia.
II DR.. Daniels words are true then the
people throughout the State have been
egreglously misinformed. Columbia is
reputed to be about the cleanest town
politically, morally, socially and religious
ly of any city Of its size in the south" We
are not at all prepared to believe what DR..
Daniels says until some proof is forth
coming. Georgia has q city, Alabama has
a city, Florida has a city, Louisiana has a
city, any one Of which can give Columbia
four kings and still beat the game, as we
are led to believe.2
A minister should be careful what he
says. -,
:. It Is very unfortunate that DIR. Daniel
made such utterance outside the city OF
Columbia. fit be true Columbia is the
place to preach the truth. II 1t is not true
DR.. Daniel has hurt the city OF Columbia
injured his own usefulness and brought q
reproach upon his high calling.

Greenwood and The Trolley.

Something more than aweek ago, Messrs
WI. T~hackston, President, G. A. Clark,
General Superintendent and H. J. Haynes
worth, Attorney Of the Anderson-Spartan-
burg interurban Trolley line. visited
Greenwood in response to the invitation OF
the Mayor, Mr.. Baker.
The proceedings of the conference are
printed in full in this issue of the paper,
and it is hoped that citizens of Abbeville,
to q man, may read them.
1t appears that the following deductions
are we'll warranted from a review OF the
proceedings.
l That Mr.. Duke, will return from Europe
about the first of September at which time
General Superintendent, Clark, will lay
before him plans fer the Southern extern
sion of the trolley line, from Bolton to the
Seaboard, with his recommendations
thereon.
2. That the men above named are dis
posed to be entirely fair, asserting posi-
lively that the road is not up to the high
est bidder, but that any section desiring II
must have a tangible proposition to sub
NIT.
8. That at the suggestion of MIR
Thackston q committee of influential citi
zens Of Greenwood was appointed to solicit
stock, secure rights of way and take such
preliminary steps as will enable the tow
of Greenwood to negotiate with the pro
moters Of the road.
4. That Greenwood received no great
amount of satisfaction out Of the meeting
other than to applaud a few uncompllmen
tary remarks about Abbeville, made b!
some OF her own citizens.
If Abbeville is alive to her opportunity
in this matter, the chances are o thai

Declined to Run.

Col. R. S. Link, perhaps the biggest
hearted man in Abbeville, was over-whelm-
ed Monday with requests to run for the
Legislature.
With a full appreciation Of the honor
that the office carries with it, and the
kindly expression Of his friends, he de-
clined to run.
His loss in q business way would be so
great that he could not afford to absent
himself for two months from his bust
ness.
Undoubtedly Col. Link would make a
representative of the highest type, and it
is regretted that he has declined to run.
