and I am quite sure that the charges
they are levying now are more than
they are entitled to.
Nor do I believe that lowering the
rates will put the express companies
,out of business, or materially injure
them. You can doubtless remember
when some people opposed the build
ing of new railroads, on the ground
that new towns would spring up and
hurt the merchants in the old estaD-
lished towns. Yet the new railroads
were built, and new towns sprang
I'D, and new merchants did business,
but nevertheless the old towns thriVeu
and grew and the merchants IN all
the oldtowns are doing more business
today than ever before. You can also
remember, no doubt, only a few years
ago when some people thought the In

think we should have the zone system

That would be fair. 1t would be a BUS

A Ward Goat.

II some benevolent person would make 3
name for himself and delight the small
boys even to the extent Of surfeit, he
should buy a goat, a billy goat, a billy
goat with horns and beard and loan him
to every family containing q small boy for
one week. This Is quite long enough for
there is nothing that 80 aptly confirms the
wisdom Of the expression that there Is
greater pleasure In pursuit than In posses
sion" than the longing for and securing
Of a billy goat, by q small. Unlike "sin" q
billy goat grows less and less attractive
the more he Is INDUCED In. 1t takes some
nerve to own up, but the small boy who
will tell the whole truth, will admit that
he is willing to part with his goat after
their first weeks association. This being
true, then, 1t would seem that n live &C
tive goat under the direction Of a benevo-
lently inclined gentleman, might serve all
the small boys Of the city in an incredibly
short time. And the boys with n accord
would welcome the coming and speed the
parting" goat.
A side advantage Of having q goat on the
premises fora week Is that his services
render unnecessary the usual labor Of
pruning growing plants. No M should
ever buy a goat except as herein indicated.
A. rented goat will meet all the require
ments Of the veriest goat fancier In one
weeks time, and then he can be moved on
to pastures new.
Now this article would fall far short Of
It's purpose If we did not inform the public
that we have a goat at our house that the
boys object to having butchered.

The Aliens in Virginia.

A band Of outlaws, Aliens, and sympa-
thisers, recently obliterated the circuit
court In their county in Virginia. because
they were unwilling for n Of their num-
Der to go to jail for his misdeeds. Rifles
and pistols were used to accomplish their
ends.
They are now In the mountains Of North
Carolina hiding from the hand they sought
to smite. But the hand Of the law Is too
strong and too ~far-reaching, even for d
band Of desperadoes.
However, they ihave enjoyed their mis-
cry Of freedom too long already. While
they are certain to be apprehended, their
arrest should not be postponed. There
should be such a force OF men put to work
that their arrest would be made now!
Such defiance and such crime should be
summarily dealt with. Federal troops
should be asked for and Immediately put
on track OF these mountain anarchists, II
for no iother reason than that 1t serve for
a lesson to others Of the same ilk, II there

College for Abbeville.

Why does Abbeville not get in the bid
ding for the proposed Luthran Collegei
Anderson, Greenwood, Greenville, Spartan
burg and other towns have found q most
profitable investment In their colleges. Alb
beville could not better invest fifty or sixty
thousand dollars In a public way.
The moral and intellectual tone Of the
city Is 80 we'll known that this point need
not be stressed to the committee having In
charge the location Of the college. The
location OF the city on a ridge between two
streams, and we'll elevated, makes 1t ideal
from the standpoint Of health. The State
at large could offer no prettier sites for q
college. Take for instances Mrs. N. Har'
vey Wilson's lot OF Mrs. NJ G. Gary's home
OF. Either would offer q most attractive
site.
The proposition Is well worth looking In
to by our business mon. i we are to grow
1t must be largely by our WI efforts, and
there Is no better place to begin than on

Death of Francis Henry.

On last Saturday morning March 24tn'
1912. Mr.. Francis Henry died at his home
in this city, after several months illness.
The deceased was among Abbeville's best
citizens having all the graces OF head ana
heart that 60 to make up q gentleman Oh
the "old school"--honest--truthfui--tem
perate and just in all his dealings with DIS
felIowman. He was a faithful soldier
through the war between the states.
During his long and useful life ne held
many places OF honor and trust n In
them all he was faithful and true.
The deceased was one OF the Few men
against whose character we v heard
any man say ought.
In his manner he was gentle, courteous
and polite to all, making friends every
where. He was the father OF q large f"mi'
ly all OF whom have gone out in the world
as useful sons and daughters, and who In
their lives and character do honor to the
memoir and life training OF their now
sainted father.
In summing up his life We would say
He was q useful ~citizen---a true mana
genial friend--a kind and indulgent "a
ther---a faithful husband, and above all OF
these a christian. he was an elder In Up
per Long Cane Church and In this Office
discharged his dates zealously for the
GOOD of the masters cause.
His funeral services were conducted at
Upper Long Caae Church on Sunday after
noon at4 O'Clock by his pasror, Rev. Mr..
Telford, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Plat. A
large end sympathetic congregation filled
the old church In respect and houor to the
memory Of their departed friend. His re-
mains were inferred In Upper Long Cane
Cemetery. Elegant and beautiful lowers
sweet emblems Of love and purity were
placed upon his grave by loving and gen.
tie hands, Hand made his last resting
place on eartn beautiful indeed.
A heart broken wife--three sons and
four daughters with other relatives and
friends survive him, and In their great
grief have the tenderest sympathies OF
hosts Of friends and this entire community.
