CAPT. N. H. PALMER
OF CALIFORNIA WRITES
MR.. r. S. B. MARTIN

! Glendale, Cali, Sept. 8, 1920.
Mr.. R. S. B. Martin,
Bordeaux, S. c..
I No longer can I resist the desire
to write, telling you that T. was in
tensely interested in your trail of
the Huguenots:
I l wonder how many old timers
have read and appreciated your con-
tributions to the Mccormick Mes
senger as much as l nave?
| Born at Lethe in 1541. My father
was superintendent OF that institu-
! tion from 1880 to 1845. Grew up in
the Wilmington and Bordeaux sec
; tions knew all the Huguenots of
whom you wrote. My father owned
farm on Little River near Willing
ton. Most of my young life was
spent there.
Several of the young men of the
Huguenot families were in my COM
pany during the civil war, namely,
j. N. Leroy, ]. E. Bellott, T. W.
Bouchillon, P. C. and George Mar
tin, ]. C. and P. D. Guillebeau; the
last two were my cousins. Three
years of my youthful life were
spent with the family of Major B.
E. Gilbert who owned the. mill on
Little river. Was with them when
they sold the property. At that
time Gibert's mill was the communi-
ty center. There was the grist mill
tan yard, shoe shop. All of the horse
mule and hog drovers from Tennes-
see, and Kentucky would make that
stopping point until the communi-
ty had purchased what they needed.
I am wondering of those indus
tries are still carried on there. Is the
B. E. Gilbert who is often mentioned
in the Bordeaux items the son of old
Major Ben? One Of his boys was
named Benny. If he is the one, ask
him to write me and tell me all
about his father, mother, Hugh and
Jennie.
Is the present towh of Bordeaux
built around the site of the old Bou-
chillon residence? As 1 remember it
the dwelling was on one side of the
road and the little store in which the
post Office was kept on the other.
When about twelve years. Of age
attended reunion of the Hugue-
nots at the home of Mr.. Boura Mo-
ragne. There was an old fashioned
barbecue serve that day. The orator
of the day was William Moragne.
Boy that l was, was much inter-
ested in his recital Of the experience

CARNIVAL AT ANTREVILLE

There will be carnival at the
Antreville Shcool building Saturday
night, October End, to which the
people generally are invited. The
ladies of the Improvement Associa-
tion will sell punch, the proceeds
to be for the benefit of the. school.
Plenty of fun is promised and a
general good time. The Carnival be-
gins at 8 o'clock.

idea of how to figure the cost of
production. All that they know is
that if they work hard during the
daylight hours, seven days a week,
they will probably come out even at
the end of the year and will have
discharged the debt into which they
were forced in order to obtain the
wherewithal to produce their cotton
and the bare necessities of life while
the cotton was growing. Their ideas
of prosperity are not the same as
ours. The present writer, during the
visit to the South, received a very
pressing invitation to visit the plan
tation of one who was supposed to
be among the more prosperous, but
which, unfortunately, could not be
accepted. Through a newspaper
friend it was learned that the refus-
al caused keen disappointment be-
cause the farmer wanted to show
the writer a house that had electric
lights, running water and a bath
room, the only one having these lux
uries for miles around.
The North would not hesitate to
pay the South reasonable price for
it's cotton if it understood what that
price should include; but having
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-09-29

done so, the North is not willing to
pay an unreasonable profit to the
manufacturer, or to any one else,
who handles that cotton. 1t does not
follow that unreasonable profits
are demanded, although there. are
some cases that look remarkably
suspicious. The average American
consumer has a strong desire to be
fair and not to exploit his neighbor
for his own profit.

 tof the towns water supply. finds it n good condition and the milk sup ply is also in good condition. Both these sources are strictly sanitary and there is no cause for any complaint. The school property, under examina tion, was found to meet the require nnents of the health ordinances, and is regarded as fully sanitary in every respect. pr. Bull, speaking of the urgent need of a sewerage system for the town, expressed his belief that a sewerage and good disposal system was the most important thing the town must look forward to and install as soon as possible. The town had, it will he remembered, some nine years ago, an opportunity to lay a sewerage system at cost of about $S5, 900. The present day prices will reach almost into S200.0o0. But with the increasing population of the town, and the constant building of houses. Plainville will eventually see the ne cessity of the system. Persons nov ing into town from other places, will find conditions more suitable with this improvement.
 4 short time ago the public utilities committee of the Plainville Business and Improvement association > sub- mitted reports regarding the sanitary sewer conditions and details of the sewer question in general. Interest was taken in the new sewera ge system that eventually would be installed and pro- tect the town from a health source. At a banquet given by the association on May 13, J. Frederick Jackson. of the New Haven Sanitary and En- gineering Bureau, gave an interesting ng address upon the treatment of sewers and the installation plans and urged the business men to have the sewer question settled shortly.
 The need of a garbage and refuse collector also is felt hy residents oi the town. This would assist greatly ir keeping up the towns good health and sanitary conditions. All in all, it is the opinion of Health Officer Bull that the towns mortality report was as favorable as any, if not better, ano with the new conditions and improve ments that will take place for the l benefit of the people, the conditions 1 will be decidedly better.

The towns mortality report for the past year ending September 1, has been submitted by Health Officer pr. J. x. Bull. The present report com pared to that of last year, shows a decided decrease in the towns mor- tality list and a favorable sign that the condition of the town is inn

The mortality from influenza was very low due to the constant vigilance of the health officer and the co-opera- ton of the townspeople and other physicians. There were II cases of typhoid fever at the epidemic at the camp grounds, but this did not orig mate from the town but was brought in by a carrier.
