The Progress Of the Census.

The census men have finished their work
in the city and by the end of this week they
will have finished in the county also.
If there are any who have not been
counted they should notify the census au-
thorities at once. In the cities OF Ander-
son and Spartanburg the work was done
so poorly that many were missed. In
Spartanburg especially was the work so
carelessly done that whole streets were
left u~ncounted. The city will have anoth-
er count.
The taking Of the census is a most I'M
portant matter. It costs a pile Of money.
It can be taken only every ten years,
therefore, it is incumbent on US to'see that
the figures are correct, for what is a census
worth unless we know that the figures are
reliable. Have you been counted?

Heavy Hail Here Last Wednesday Night.

On last Wednesday night one of the
heaviest hail storms Of recent years visited
Abbeville. The stones were not so large
but the length Of time for which they fel
surpasses any storm Of the kind that has
visited US in years. The stones were not
so compact and heavy as is usually the
case. They seemed to be made up OF
slightly compressed snow. The earth was
quite gray after the storm passed, ard
though the rain fell in torrents, the ha ii
remained on the ground for some time II.

The Way to Town

r
Abbeville from all parts of the
county where would the people
Oh the outskirts of the county
trade? Impossible, Ell! Well,
suppose macadamized roads led
to Abbeville from all parts Of the
county where would those living
on the outskirts of the county do
their trading? Is this impossl-
bic? Is it impossible for Able
vile County to macadamize her
main thoroughfares? One of the
Grst marks of a well-developed
country is frst-class highways.
This is a mark of which Abbevllle
cannot boast. 1t seems that we
are always in debt, always on the
verge of bankruptcy and are thus
In no condition whatever to make
these Improvements.
Suppose that a young man
starts out in life on a salary, so
much per month, so much per
year, with expenses about the
same per month and per year.
How long would it take such a
man to become a millionaire by
saving his money? Have you
ever tried it? Look around you,
see those who have accumulated
money, who are wealthy ; did
they make their wealth by saving
their salaries No, not in a SIN
gle instance is such the case.
They made their wealth by using
the money of others and not by
saving salaries. Let us give you
q tip. If you wish to become
wealthy, get wise to the fact that
you must have money to do it.
ANY man who makes money Dor
rows money ; without it he would
be helpless. Money is required
to make money in the case of in
dividuals.
If this is really and truly the
case with individuals, what about
corporations? Does not the same
rule hold good? Corporations
cannot turn a wheel without bor-
rowing money, and they borrow
it constantly in the pursuit OF
their business and improvements
Of plants.
Why, then, is the same not
true of the County? Why would
It not pay for the County to bor-
row money for Improvements ?
This generation would not have
to pay the debt ; why should we
be s~queamish about borrowing
money for Improvements which
we would enjoy and for which we
would not have to pay more than
a small interest in this genera
ton?
Do you know of any county
that has borrowed money thus to
build highways, which has gone
broke or suffered financially from
from such a course?
The county is even like the in
dividual. If a county would
take the lead it should borrow
every cent that the law of the
country allows it to borrow and
lay out every cent thus borrowed
in permanent improvements, and
as the county's land enhances in
value from these improvements,
and as wealth a~ccumulates, the
county authorities should con-
tinue to bond the county and Dor
row to the limit, ever making
such improvements as will be per-
manent and cause the lands of the

Irishman began his work. He had

looked through it at the sun. The

Good things are contagious as we'll
as bad things, and that is an eneour-
agement and a comfort. Every man
who works wisely in various ways to
help his town Is not only getting lots
of satisfaction out OF it, but he is also
setting good example to others, and
that example may prove contagious.
We know of man who, like many
other men, lived in place where no
effort was made to make it look at
traetive. Weeds, uncut grass and
rubbish were allowed to flourish and
become an eyesore. Nose people
seemed content to have 1t so, but this
nan was not. Singly, at first, and
with undaunted courage and persist
ency he kept his own property in good
order. Then one neighbor after an
pther followed his example and soon
he whole town awakened to the need
pf making the place attractive, and
oday that city is one of the most pop
hlar and is admired for its beautiful
! ppearance.
