vital importance to the national pros
perity of town and county as this
good roads question. Bad roads con-
stitute one of the greatest burdens of
taxation that the people have to bear,
though, by reason of its indirectness,
not all can be made to see it in this
light.
More than two thousand years ago
the Roman empire recognized the
importance of highways to the devel-
opment of the Everlasting City, and
the roads they built have been an en-
during monument to their foresight.
Yet today, we of the twentieth
century, who claim to live in the
most progressive period Of the
worlds age, IRE content to travel
upon highways that can in no way
approach those of ancient Rome. :
Our people need awakening along
this line, and it is to be hoped that
these trips will open up a discussion
of this topic which will help towards
a practical solution of one of the most
important problems confronting the
American people today.

FOR GREATER ABBEVILLE.

chants in aim ost every line of retail
business, and it can be truthfully
asserted that no town in the State
offers more reasonable prices.
Abbeville is and has always been
a good cotton market, and it is the
avowed purpose of Mr.. J. F. Barn
we'll, president of the cotton mill
here, to pay the best possible price
for cotton. 1t is the purpose of
the business men of the town to
furnish a good market for all pro-
ducts of the farm. A good market
will help the buyer as we'll as the
seller and in building up the town
will contribute to the prosperity of
every citizen of the county.
By reason of the large cotton
mill, and oil mill located in Able
vile, the best prices cal be paid
for cotton and seed, and this will
be done. If an immediate market
is not desired, Abbeville has one of
the best warehouses in the State,
which is kept bonded. All the
banks of the city are liberal in
lending money on cotton certif-.
Gates, and they are all strong lnstl-
tutions, equal to the demand.
Without undertaking to recount,
in detail, the opportunities for ad-
vantageous trade held out by the
city of Abbeville, these points we
would stress: We want social in
tercourse with the people of our
county f.; we want 70 sell to you and
to buy from you ; we want to work
together for the upbuilding of a
greater Abbeville, town and county.
Abbeville city is the nearest city
of any size to the partially devel-
oped water power on Savannah
river. This. is the greatest water
power in the Southern States, and
it's fullest development which may
be at no distant day, must contrib
ute first to Abbeville county.
There is scarcely a section of the
county that is not in easy reach of
a railroad. Much of our land is
unsurpassed, and u people are
intelligent and prosperous. We
need only to look to u interests
at home, instead of contributing to
the growth of our neighboring
towns to make Abbeville county
the best county in the State, and
Abbeville city the pride of the
county.

A GOOD RECORD.

Last Thursday evening the news
papers of Abbeville were called upon
by the business men of Abbeville to
prepare and issue special Booster"
edit ons of their publications in time
to 20 out with their regular editions
of Tuesday and Wednesday.
TO accomplish this task within the
allotted time and keep up with the
regular work of the respective Offices
appeared at first a task almost be-
You'd accomplishment, but, With
newspaper men boosting is a labor of
love, and by dint of hard work they
have accomplished a seemingly i'm
possible task.
The call for advertising copy met
with a generous and ready response
on the part of the merchants and this
department of the endeavOr was, by
reason of the cordial cooperation Of
the business men, made most sue
cessful.
Owing to the fact that the cuts de-
scriptive of the town had been loaned
to daily papers and there was not
sufficient time to get them together,
it is impossible to illustrate these
editions. Many other imperfections
for which lack of time is responsible
will, we feel sure, be overlooked by
the public.
The papers invite careful attention
ITO the advertiser, nts in the "BOos-
ter" editions. They contain mes
50 ages which should appeal to the
thrifty and are teeming with a spirit
of cordial good will which should
meet with a hearty response on the
part of their readers.
The newspapers of Abbeville are
ever ready to promote any move
ment for the advancement of their
city, and when the business men
show the readiness to assist them that
they have displayed on this occasion,
the labor Of such an undertaking is
lightened to a great extent.
1t is believed that much good will
result from this movement. Ifnoth-
ing else is accomplished other than
he development of the community
spirit, the spirit of get-together, pull
together which has accomplished so
much for the upbuilding of so many
other cities, then the effort will have
been more than worth while.
1t is the intention of the newspa-
pers to give as complete a writeup Of
the sections through which the
Boosters" will pass in a subsequent
issue, and, if arrangements can be
made, to illustrate these writeups.
To this feature they invite the, atten-
ton of the people in the territory
which the party will travel.

Abbeville, like Athens of old,
will ever occupy a conspicuous
place in history, by reason OF her
great men, living and dead. All
that her sons have achieved at the
bar, in the pulpit or in the halls OF
LEGISLATION will be cherished as a
rich legacy; but in this age of pro-
gress when cities are building ON
every hill, the future of Abbeville
must be looked to and this future
is in the hands of the rank and file
of her citizenship.
1t is the purpose of the business
men of Abbeville to cultivate the
closest social and business rela-
tons with all the people of the
county; to make those relations
not only courteous, but cordial.
There are many prosperous towns
in the county and they are we'll
distributed. The growth of these,
toe, contributes to the growth and
prosperity of the county, and it is
not desired to cripple or retard
them. But it is desired that the
citizens of these towns and the
rural population contributory,
make Abbeville their central mar
ket, rather than the central towns
of surrounding counties. Just as
the city of Abbeville and smaller
towns grow and develop, just to
that extent is the county inviting
to home seekers. All investors
Ikea prosperous county and their
first insight into the prosperity and
desirability of the county is gotten
in the county. seat. The central
market town is the medium
through which the resources of the
county are advertised to the world.
If the individual would have a bet
ter price for his land, more neigh
bors, better schools and better
roads, he must link his fortunes
with the central market and make
it prominent in the eyes of the in
weston. To speak disparagingly of
your county seat, your central
market, is to depreciate your own
property, remote as the bearing
may seem.
Now, the people Of Abbeville
city desire the most cordial bust
ness and personal relations with
the people of the county beside
and no pains will be spared to &C
this much desired end.

HE Is ACCOMPANIED
BY OTHER CANDIDATES.
Says He Has Always Aimed to
Keep City Clean on Lib
eral Basis.

On the stump until after midnight,
Mayor Jacob Haussling was last night
given rousing receptions at five sep-
| arate meetings which he addressed
| during the course of the evening. He
was attended at most of the gather
| ings by Charles P. Gillen and Alder
man A. H. Biertuempfel, the Board
| Of Works nominees, and candidates
| for the Assembly and Congress.
Starting out at the Hungarian
American Club at 124 Hamburg place,
where he spoke in German, the mayor
made O. complete circuit of the city.
In all of his speeches he deplored the
fact that there does not seem to be
any chance of entering into a cam
paign without mudslinging. He x
planned his stand on various ques-
| lions and declared that he stood for
a clean city, with a reasonable degree
of liberality. Judge Simon Hahn and
Board of Works COMMISSIONS Dr..
! Charles F. Krsemer also spoke.
From here the party went to the
reception of the st. Placidus Young
| Mems Society at st. Benedict's Hail.,
| where the mayor was presented by
| Father Bernard as an honest, sturdy
| German-American." Here he pointed
to the cleaning of the Passaic river
as one of the monuments of his adj
min~istration. At the Wanaque Club
| in Broad street he took occasion TO
| speak of the work of the tax depart
ment, whose system, he says, is being
| copied throughout the country.
Next the mayor was whirled to a
reception of the Father Mathew I.
A. b. Society in Hudson street, where
he gave a two-minute address to the
assembled guests. Avitus Dougherty,
| candidate for alderman from the
| Sixth ward, was also a speaker at
| this gathering. The headquarters OF
the Tom Dwyer Association at l26
| Market street was the next stop. Here
the mayor addressed a gathering OF
| labor men, who cheered him for his
| attitude on various labor questions.
The last stop was made at the
Kruger Auditorium, where a euchre
party was in progress under the aus
| pices of the parishioners Of st. Angus
| tines Church. Here again the mayor
was treated to an enthusiastic recep-
tion.
At the Wanaque Club meeting Com
gresham Walter I. Mccoy took occa-
sion to reply to the attack made on
| him by Herman B. Walker, his Bull
Moose opponent from the Ninth dis
trict. He explained his movements
during the whole time that Mr..
Walker alleged thai he was absent
from his place in the hall of Congress,
most of which time he was busy at
comfittee work by order of the
rouse.
