and business relations should exist
between the people of the county
! seat and their friends and neigh
bors throughout the county, bust
ness men of Abbeville have decided
to visit friends in all sections of the
county. .:.+.
The object of these visits is tc
to strengthen the ties which bind
the people of Abbeville county tc
their county seat, to renew OLD
friendships and form new ones-in
other words to get closer together
for mutual benefit.
The business men of the towr
are DESTROYS of a better acqualn'
lance with their fellow-citizens Of
the county, and believe that the
best way to establish cordial rela'
tons is to mingle together in Plsas,
ant social intercourse. They wish
to know every mar in the county,
and they want every man in the
county to feel that the merchants
of Abbeville are his friends, that
he is ever welcome within the clty's
gates, that they realize the inter
ests of all citizens of the county
are identical and that what affects
adversely the prosperity of one
class of citizens is bound to have
its reflex in the welfare of all other
classes. They believe that a more
thorough knowledge of"the needs
of each other is we'll calculated tc
encourage a spirit Of cooperation
which is so necessary to the devel'
opment of this grand old mother OIL
counties.
The people of the town kno"
that the basis of our prosperity
lies in the success of our agrlcul'
turists, and, while, of course, they
do not presume to be able to teach
our farmers the methods by which
success is attained on the farm,
they do want to be of assistance tc
them in any manner that lies IN
their power. They are willing tc
cooperate with their friends, but
to do this they believe that it is
necessary to have a clearer idea o.
how they can best serve them.
Citizens of the town Of Abbevllle
have an abiding faith in the people
of their county. They believe they
have the grandest county in the
State, and they are sure that the
sturdy yeomanry of Abbeville is its
greatest asset. They are conf
dent that the people of the coun'
try feel as much pride in thell
county seat as the county seat feels
in them, and are anxious that the
the town of Abbeville shall more
than maintain the foremost posi-
ton which she already enjoys
Eamong the cities of South Carolina
tThe cooperation Of all the people,
working together in harmony is al
that build a great city. They ask
that cooperation Of all the people,
to the end that their city shall moi
only hold the lead which it already
has, but will soon outstrip her ri.
walls.
/ In many ways the county OF Alb
beville has always led the people
of South Carolina. The voice Of
her statesmen has resounded in the
councils of the nation, the valor o.
her soldiers has been a priceless
heritage for the worthy sons Of no
fble sires, the integrity of the mel
Whom she has furnished to the
judiciary has in no small degree
lcontributed to the elevation of the
bench and increased the venera'
ton in which the people of South
Carolina hold their judiciary.
In the person Of Wyatt Alker
Abbeville county still has a repre-
sentative in Cokgress whose voice
is heard in the nations council:
; and whose loyalty to the people O
his district and watchfulness O
