ears had heard an unusual sound. In
the silence, the sound grew louder. 1t
was like a muffled scraping and scuf-
fling. "What can it bef" whispered
Peggy
"Some one digging" answered Billy.
Can it be miner?" asked Peggy.
Billy held up finger to hush her, and
listened intently. With the scraping
and scuffling there was now the sound
of snufling and snorting.
at is not a man miner" whispered
Billy. "It's some kind of an animal
miner.
'Maybe it's a rat coming to eat us
up" hooted Judge Owl
It did sound like rat, and as bits of
earth began to drop into the cellar,
showing that the digger was near, Billy
jumped in front of Peggy TO protect
her.
Scrape. snuffIe, snuffle, shout! The
miner was just outside the wall PUNK |
Out dropped a bit of earth and a pair
of furiously digging paws flashed
through. The paws drew back and
bristling whiskers took their place as
the animal miner peeked into the cellar.
Then the furious digging began again,
and in another instant Father Rabbit
popped out of the hole, Right behind
HlHl was mOluST IhDpllg anu TlBuJ ue-
hind her were Johnny Rabbit, Pinky
Rabbit and Bunny Rabbit. Peggy had
been right and Judge Owl had been
wrong-the young rabbits had not de-
serted them. They had just gone for
help.
"My, that was hard work." snorted
Father Rabbit. "Now, IL you queer
toy folks will take all the gold you
want, we will hasten TO our cabbage
breakfast"
But Peggy had changed her mind
about taking the buried gold.
This gold doesn't belong to us" she
said ut isn't like the free gold that
miners find; some one has buried IL
here"
"of course, some one buried There" I"
snorted Father Rabbit. ''He did 1t on
midnight dreary, and watched him
from behind tree rs he did it. It's a
story of darkness and robbers. Would

BALTIMORE, Oct 15.-The moral

ARIsTocRATs IN "oFF YEARS"

From The Observer, Of Newberry
this paragraph is taken:
"The flu is said to have attacked
the United States first in Boston and
South Carolina first in Abbeville.
Another illustration Of the fact that
aristocracy is being knocked out
everywhere these days."
This accusation against Abbeville
may be- safely brought by The OBJ
server in 1919. Ever the understand
ing has been that all the people Of
Abbeville are Aristocrats; we have
known many an Abbeville man who
would fight at the slightest sugges-
tion to the contrary; but would our
contemporary dare say so much in
January, 1920? In that year a prim-
ary election will be held in South
Carolina.
Do not the Aristocrats all move
out of Abbeville in election years?

OLD ALMANACKS.

Reading last week that Col. Roche
had found some old papers which
carried him back to the long ago,
Colonel William Henry Sharp, of
the Santuc section, decided that he
would hunt up something showing
the happening Of events when hs
was a boy, Accordingly he has
brought US bunch Of old almanacs,
then spelled almanacks, running
from 1905 up to. 1920, or therea-
bouts, by which time Col. Sharp had
grown to be a good sized boy.
The first OF these almanacks is for
the year 1905, as stated. Its name
is "Bounetheau's Town and Country
Almanack for Carolina and Geor-
gia." The first pages Of this alma
mack are missing, but from those re-
manning, we have all the informa-
tion about the days Of the months,
and the months in the year, with the
information which is usual even at
this day about the great events which
have happened on the days as they
come. There are also, predictions Of
"Thunder and Lightning" "Some
Rain May Now FALL" or "Snow Ex-
pected," or "Clearing with Westerly
Winds" There is also much infor-
nation about the movement of plan
cts, about the "Rising, Setting and
Southing of the Stars" and other
like information.
In the back of the almanack is in
formation of all kinds. We have DR..

ANOTHER COTTON MILL.

Some little time ago we advised our
readers that Abbeville should have
another cotton mill. Probably the
present is rot the time to begin the
actual building of mill, buG now IS
the time to agitate the question, and
to commence the proper movement to
raise money to build the mill. Cotton
is grown in the south. The raw pro-
duct of the South must be manufac-
tured and the place to manufacture
this cotton is where it is grown. We
grow it.
Several suggestions have been
made in the last few days about this
matter, and numbers of our citizens
are interested in the movement. We
have just gotten out of the great
war, and we have learned that we
can raise all kinds of money. We
can raise enough to build another
mill here, if the people will become
generally interested in the work.
We have no one in view to take
charge of the mill. Some names
have. been mentioned. Some of the
men suggested as proper persons to
be put at the head of the enterprise,
are good men for the position. But
we are not particularly interested in
any of them. We would be interest
. cd solely in securing the proper man
to head the enterprise.
There is one thing we would say,
however, and that is that if man
il to be sought outside Of the city,
we should not expect him to bring
money here and build a mill for the
benefit of this community. The COM
munity must show an interest in the
building of the mill, and until our
people are willing to raise a consid-
erable sum of money for this pur-
pose we need not expect outside
capital to come to Abbeville.
The time has come for this town
to throw aside its lethargy and get
busy. The opportunity is at hand.
Will the people act?
