The result OF Drill.

The steamer Maryland Of New York,
Philadelphia, and Norfolk, railroad with
three hundred passengers aboard was dis
covered to be on fire seortly after leaving
Norfolk last week, the Captain In trying to
extinguish the flames single handed had
to be hauled to safety by means of a rope.
Eight United States sailors who were
passengers on the steamer distinguished
themselves for bravery, and according to
the dispatch, probably saved the lives OF
many passengers and prevented the de.
struction Of the steamer. A sailor named
Stone hung over the sides Of the vessel
while his companions held him by his feet
and, with his bare hands burst in a win,
dow leading to the freight hold and turned
a stream of water on the fire. He remain.
ed in that positian for a quarter Of an hour
while the steamer rushed for safety.
These sailors were no more called upon
to do this deed than we're any Of the other
male passengers Of the boat, but with theil
training in the United States navy it wa
the natural thing for them to do. These
same. men without that training woulc
have been panic stricken as were the rest
of the passengers and would never have
accomplished what they did. Injured tx
dangers, taught to act and act quickly
confident in their ability to cope with any
danger, they met the contingency, as al
do who have been thru the school Of ex
perience on q b~attleship.

Additional Passenger Service.

Capt. j. R. Anderson, superintendent
of the Blue Ridge railway company, is at
home from Columbia, where he spent
several days in conference with officials
Of the southern in reference to an extern
sion of the motor car service, so as to
take in Greenwood-linking Anderson,
Greenville and Greenwood. 1t is decided
that an additional a be put on before
Christmas.
A rough schedule to be maintained after
the new car has arrived and been pressed
into service, was mapped out at the con.
ference of railroad men at Columbia, but
no announcement will be made as yet
However, Capt. Anderson said today, that
Anderson'S schedule as at present
operated, will not be materially affected
when the new car goes on. 1t will remain
about the same.
The Greenwood people have been work
ing for some time to get one OF the motor
cars, and their efforts resulted IN the
conference Of railroad officials, Whe II
was decided that the service be extended
It is understood that the car out OF Green
wood will make one round trip each day
to Greenville and to Anderson, and con-
nection for both places in addition.
If the car is put on it is safe to say thai
it will come by Abbeville as we'll. The
car is purely for passenger traffic OF
course and the amount of travel from Alb
beville will warrant the service. The
railroad authorities simply cannot afford
to over look US.
1t will be a great convenience to the
travelling public to have this additionaI
service and it is to be hoped that it will be
nut ON.

LoWndesNille, Dec. 19, 1910

LOWnQeSSllle Dec. IL, l5lu.
The week before last Mrs. j. G. Harper,
of Greenwood, spent several days with the
family OF her brother-in-law, Mr.. Z. W.
Harper.
A few days ago Rev. r. w. HUMPHREYS
returned from Charleston, where he went
and attended the last session OF the s. U.
Conference. He had been on this work for
two years and had given satisfaction as a
preacher, and personally had gained many
warm and strong friends, and all OF the
people were glad of his return to this work.
Mr.. Wade Thompson, of Anderson coun-

looking after some business affairs IN
which he is Interested.
MAGISTRATE J. G. Huckabee spent a day

business matters. 9, =.
Some rains in this section in the last
week made the ground wetter than it has
been for several months. ,
Some attractive show papers that had
been posted in conspicuous places for q
week or two, and which drew the attentlon
of the darkies and little white boys and
girls, and gave promise of q first class
show, for last Tuesday night was a week
ago, came to naught. The concern came
in on time, but for the pretty high winds
prevailing which was given as an eXcuse,
for no show, some were no doubt dlSap-,
pointed as there are some people who will
patronize anything bearing any sort OF re-
semblance to O show.

Library Dots.

With the third week in December, 1910,
the day of great things began to dawn for
the Abbeville Library. The first advance
step came on Tuesday night when the City
Council agreed to relieve the Library Com
mittee Of the room rent, thus assuming
one hundred dollars Of the annual library
expenses. We feel deeply grately to the
that the Library will repay them for their
kindness to us.
On Friday afternoon the friends Of the
Library came out in full force to the show
err. Each guest brought a contribution in
the shape OF books or money, and the Ii
brary became richer by eighty-two books,
a years subscription to The State, and ten
dollars in money.
Refreshments of charlotte russo and
cake were served, and delightful music
was rendered, so the occasion was a happy
one for all. We thank every one who
helped to make the shower a success.
Prof. Huguelet has very kindly consent
ed to leave a fine Schubert piano in the Ii
brary for some time. This piano is for
sale, but all who have musical talent are
invited to play on it any time during Ii
brary hours.
The children of the town enjoyed to the
fullest extent the "Grab Bag and Story
Telling" on Saturday afternoon. Prof.
Renwick Bradley held the little ones spell.
bound with his interesting story, then old
Santa Claus in person appeared with the
bags out of which every child had a
"grab." Each one went away highly
| plef sci with his surprise package, and
| with the memory Of a happy afternoon,
The Library cleared seven dollars from the
grab bag. =,
The entertainments Of the past week
have not only helped the Library greatly
in a material way, but they have also
sown seed which will bring forth fruit in
the future. Some Of the guests had never
before visited the Library and each one
was happily surprised at its excellent be-
ginning. The interest Of all has been
awakened or revived, and we hope soon to
have the hearty cooperation of young and
old in the endeavor to- make the Abbeville
Library second to none

Praise for w. P. Greene.

The Lancaster News, quoting from the
Press and Banner, says:
What the management means to any
business enterprise has been fully shown
in the history Of the Abbeville ice plant, as
we learn from this weeks issue OF the
Press and Banner OF that town.
The News here quotes at length, and
adds:
The Press and Banner goes on to state
In effect that during the period Of the en-
terprise's dcpression-when 1t was over
burdened with debt and earning no div.
~idends-some Of the stockholders parted
with their holdings at sixty-five cents on
the dollar, two Of them selling their stock
as low as fifty cents on the dollar.
Here the News quotes u suggested
means Of recouping the gudgeons who sold
too quick, and speaks Of Mr.. Greene as
follows:
The gentleman, by the way, who has SO
admirably managed the Abbeville Ice
plant, bringing order out Of chaos and put
ting the concern on a paying basis, was
formerly a resident Of Lancaster, being
none other than the bright and handsome
young man who read law here q number OF
years ago under Judge Ernest Moore. Mr..
Greene Is now one of the leading lawyers
of the State and is enjoying a large and
lucrative practice at Abbeville. How ne
has found time to pull an ice plant out OF q
bad hole and plant it on a firm foundation,
we are at q loss to know, but he has Ger.
tainly performed the prodigious Feat all
right.
The experience Of the Abbeville ice fac
tory affords a splendid object lesson, dem
onstrating SO clearly as 1t does the value
Of wise and judicious management. The
success or failure, in fact, Of any under
taking largely depends on it's manage

Greer's Almanac.

The Spartanb burg Journal Of the Is u
slant has an interesting editorial on Al
MANAGES and incidentally mentions that
standard production, "Griers Almanac
The journal says that.
Early after 1900, a printer, perhaps, by
the name Of Greer, began the publication
Of Greer's almanac in Augusta, Ga. Tha,
contained the ordinary astromical lnfor'
nation, whether predictions, dates OF i'm
portant events, birth or death OF proml'
nen men and garden hints for each montt
It was very popular. The name is retain
anacS.
A story is told of a later editor of Greer's
almanac who only a few years ago while
~traveling In Georgia had occasion to make
3 long country trip. Going to q livery
man he ordered a horse and buggy. A
boy who served the almanac man at the
stable advisedhim to take a top buggy
but it was a beautiful day and the traveller
refused the boys advice. Before the edi
tor returned he was caugLt In one OF the
hardest rains Of his experience. The
streams we're immensely swollen, bridges
washed away and it was in the shank o.
tho following day when the forlorn, be
draggled editor arrived at his starting
point.
Remembering the advice given the day
before by the boy, and curious to know or
what he based his assumption that il
would rain as it did, he questioned the lad
'sWhy did you advise me to take a tor
buggy yesterday"
Because I knew it would rain,
Glow did you know it would rain?
asked the editor.
Well, said the boy, Griers Almanac
said that it would be fair weather
and it aly7aye does the very opposite.

While Santa Claus was driving toward. Abbevale, in his
sleigh which was over-1owing with toys, one OF his reindeer
became frightened at a passing aeropane, and overturned
the sleigh, scattering toys everywhere, and the worst OF all,
tearing Santa's new suit, and crushing bis hat.
Santa was shaken up pretty badly, but was not serious.
~ hurt. He gathered up the scattered toys, and put them
in the sleigh. N.9 y
Then. after some trouble, he got the trembling deer back
in harness. took his seat on the sleigh, and cracked his whip
to make up for lost time.
But great was his sorraw to find that his best deer was
hmping badly from a sprained leg, and his sleigh badly dam
aged. ..@ ~. "
Santa looked at the crippled deer, the broken sleigh, and
his new suit and hat ruined, and wondered what to do.
He had money but he had no time to waste.
He tramped about, putting his pipe, bordering what ne
should do. Where could he get a new suit, nat, shoes, ana
team4at one place? Suddenly his face lit up with pleasure!
He had thought of a plan! ..., v
Mounting his seat, and drawing his robes around him, ne
whistled gently to his team, and drove straight to Rosenbergs
Store, where he bought a new Suit, a Stetson Hat, a pair OF
Howard and Foster Shoes, besides O. good supply OF Onoer-
wear. and a dozen Collars of the latest close fitting style.
He also replenished his stock of presents, and bought a
pair of Krippendrof Dittman Shoes, and a pair OF SILK Hose
for his wife. He then traded his crippled deer for a good
Young Mule. his sleigh for a new Auto Seat Buggy, and went
his way happy and satisfied. Now there's a reason why
Santa went to Rosenberg's when he was in trouble and time
was precious.
He knew he could find everything he wanted there, ana
he knew he would receive prompt attention, ana be served oy
efficient statesmen. r.
