Caught on Suspicion.

On last Saturday G. J. Bruce, Deputy
Sheriff, was at Calhoun Falls waiting for g
train. Mr.. Bruce has worked in the Sher-
IFS Office for so long that he knows most
Of the negroes Of Abbeville County, and
especially Of the criminal class. He was
standing In Gambrell's store, when a
strange negro passed, carrying two grips.
He spoke to the negro, and the negro
didn't return the salutation. The negro
also passed some other negroes and
didn't speak to them, Mr.. Bruce had the
idea that the negro's mind was intent on
something and concluded it was on the
heavy grips in his hand. A little later, he
arrested the negro and examined the grips
and found them filed with cloth stolen
from Brogan Mills, at Anderson.
The negro was brought to Abbeville and
was yesterday morning sent to Anderson
Jail.

financial conditions obtaining gener-

response was not equal to the demand
and deficit faces the institution.
However, that the work would go on
with as little encouragement as pos
sible, was the declaration of A T Jam
ison, superintendent and treasurer,
who spoke of the obligation and priv
ilege Of helping orphan children. He
said he had faith In the Baptists con-
tinuing the proper support of the Or
phanage. Orlando Sheppard, for II

ABBEVILLE TO HAVE
BUSINESS COLLEGE

Mr.. F. L. Heaton, Of Atlanta, Ca, who
is in our city organizing the Business Col
lege, advises the Press and Banner that he
Is making splendid headway securing en-.
rollments.
This College will be strong factor In
the development and upbuilding Of Jour
city, and It's establishment here will mean
line OF progress from which every citi-
zen and business man will be personally
and financially benefited. The College
will Sive our young people greater op-
portunity to acquire a practical business
education, which they can turn into money
In the business world. A complete equip
ment for the thorough instruction Of the
student will be installed.
Mr.. Heaton says he Is very much en-
couraged with the manner in which the
College idea has been received In this To-
cality, being evidence Of interest In things
that stand for progress and make for the
building UP Of community.
This College will open the way for Bus
mess Education to the young men and
women In the territory covered by the
railroads entering this city, and will give
them the same advantages that the largest
Business College In the world, whether To-
Gated in Columbus, Augusta, Atlanta,
Nashville. Chicago or any other large city,
will offer them. The pleasant and sani-
tary conditions Of this city, perfect drain
age, high altitude, pure water and at
tractive social, religious and educational
advantages, make our city especially
adapted to this enterprise. The opportun-
tiles it offers our boys and girls In secur-
ing thorough business training here at
home Is Of inestimable worth, and we can
not aferd to treat it otherwise than with
the profoundest support 10 fully merits 1t.
It is to the Mayor Of city, DR.. G. G. Gam
brell, that credit must be given for having
directed the attention of Mr.. Heaton to
Abbeville as a desirable location for a
Business College. Mr.. Heaton comes to
our city with the desire to cooperate with
the citizens .of the community In every
thing, and In turn asking reciprocity on
the part Of the citizens. i

From information received with ref

From information received with ref
erence to the Harrison place, which I
am informed contains over three hun
dred acres, I am advised that at a time
when we were not expecting a new
county here, this place was sold, and
brought less than eight hundred dol
lars, and the present owner now says
that he will sell the place for ten dol
lars, per acre If we do not get the new
county, but that. If we get the new
county he will not take less than fif-
teen dollars per acre for same. This
does not look like depreeiating the
value of real estate to me, own a
tract of land myself five miles from
McC Cormiek that ] would sell Aow for
twenty dollars per acre, and am OTTER
ed that fer IT provided we get the new
county and the party tried to bind me
in trade that way. but refused less
than twenty-five dollars per acre for
same in the event We get the new
county. know of several other, such
cases. Now, Mr.. Citizen, II you have
any real estate it would pay you to
vote and work for the new county, and
not sell you'd land for a mess of pot
tage before we establish our New
County,
do not know Of any prediction
promises. We will make none that we
are not able to fulfill. aud will make
none that is not backed up by bona
fde guarantees Gnd placed before the
public before the election comes of.
ton the highest step towards prog
ress that could be made, and am at
loss to see how any one could after
due consideration vote or work against
Sucn project.
Our people need a new County, and
I feel sure that the need of It. will be
better expressed after the vote is
counted on December 2sth, and, fur
thermore that all who work against 1t
now will in the next few years regret
the stand that they toek IN the matter,
and will be willing to gay let's make
our county the banner county Of the
State,
Now word to the voters Of the
proposed New County: Let me beg you
before voting to post yourself as to
what other New Counties are doing,
and as to what their tax levy is. this
will convince any reasonable man that
smaller counties are better.

MIXED NEWS COMES
FROM EASTERN ZONE

Progress along the Ypres canal is
noted in the latest French official war
bulletin although climatic conditions
prevent active measures by opposing
forces on the battle front in Belgium
and France. The Germans have re-
pulsed the attacks of the allies and
violent fighting is reported during the
past "a hours.
An interesting feature of the
French official communication is the
statement that the railway station at
Commercy in the department of Meuse
has been bombarded by the Germans
from great distance. Commercy Is
seven miles south of st. Mihiel.
A Reuters dispatch from Nish says
the Servians, after fierce battle, have
re-occupied Belgrade. The Servian
capital was taken by the Austrians
December 2 after a siege of several
months. If this report proves true
the Servians apparently are sweeping
all before them, as the Austrians ad-
nit defeat by the Seryians southeast
Of Valjevo. There they were compelled
to make an extended retirement.
On the other hand, Vienna an
nonces gains of considerable i'm
portance in a northerly direction in
western Galicia, where the Austrians
have retaken the town of Dukia.
Austrian forces advancing through
the Carpathians are said to have cap
tured 5000 prisoners and a number of
machine guns.
The Argentine minister Of marine
has been informed that two British
warships have entered the Straits Of
pursuit of the German
cruiser Dresden, which is reported to
have arrived at Punta Arenas. While
a Buenos Aires dispatch says the
Dresden was not damaged, Santiago
reports damage to the cruis-
er and adds that she will repair there.
The great armies of Germany and
Russia still contend for supremacy
in Poland, but it is not expected any
one engagement or series of engage
ments will give decisive result.
The kings of Norway, Sweden and
Denmark are to meet at the end Of
