There Is no better man and no better railroad superintendent than Mr. Henry Williams of the Southern Road, but as a weather prognosticate his judgment is good in only certain localities. In the absence of an active board of trade Congressman Aiken has been im portuning | superintendent, Williams in behalf of the car service from Hodges to Abbeville. The white coach assigned to the fAbbeville Branch was a dingy ram shackled ftld box that was incapable of being properiyheatedAftersome correspon* denco Mr. Aiken succeeded in having this % replaced by a good coach. And then, In an avii hour, in the midst of a cold spell the good coach was taken off and the old rookery returned. Mr. Williams wrote Mr. Aiken that he could not have foreseen the cold- spell, whereupon Mr, Aiken re plied that he foresaw it on the main line. , Mr. Williams is reported to have 6aid that ' if he could keep Wyatt Aiken warm, he , would be [satisfied. We know that Superintendent Williams ' does not Intend to be unkind or unfriendly to Abbeville, that has the friendliest feel log for him and for his road; but It only goes to show that a person will often neg. lect his friends in his anxiety to placate those who are more exacting. Doubtless Mr. Aiken appreciates the ( purpose of his life long friend to keep him warm, but he is the mould of man who is , aallcitous for the comfort of his neighbors , primarily and himself only incidentally. Sinhe writing the above investigation discloses the fact that a nice clsan car has been put on and our only solicitude now is to hold it. Th? Night After Christinas. (WITH APOLOGIES). Twas the night after Christmas, and all through the house Pandemonium broke loose?no room for a mouse. Many pockets were empty; the mantle was bare; Old Nick had skedaddled?nobody knew where. The children didn't hanker for their snug , little beds, ' 5 v *| For sugar-plums were dancing and not in c | _ their heads, s The din of tin horns, the rattle ol wneeis, t The thump of the drum, the cracker's loud c They Erlng to the sufferer but one consola- a tion: < * t A year must elapse ere another visitation. -] Who cares for the moon on the snow's i dcmny breast, a When, nerve-slok, he's tossing on a bed of t unrest ? c i Who could settle his brain for any kind of nap, . With the children all crazed by this, med dlesome old Chap! By winking and blinking he'd never fool me; j His best things he gives to the rioh, as you ^ The poorer are served in a scantier way, 2 And the very poor slighted entirely, they t say. * We welcome the clatter of his reindeer's hoof, c But its the clatter that carries him away * from our roof. t Away, St. Nioholas! away to your pole! Take Cook and Peary with you and crawl 1 In oaIq ? W. W. Bradley. '*VnHed we Stand?Divided we Fall.' Under this caption the esteemed McCor mlck Messenger calls his fellow townsmen to task for unpreparedness In the effort to unite with Greenwood County. He says: "The appositien seems to have had a perfect organization." Assuming that the election was fairly conducted, on both sides, we will not comment on "what , might have been." We could not but feel regret that many citizens of McCormicb, for whom we cherish the kindliest feeling, should con ceive the idea that their only hope for future growth lies In severance from the mother County. We sympathized with McCormlck in her efforts to secure a new County, for in this was the hope of local izing and centrrllzing the interests of people for miles around. If proximity to Greenwood meant anything one way or another to McCormick, it meant the draw ing away of her trade- and the establish 1 ment 01 traae relations wiwi vreenwooa. i But we have looked on this contest as one i that the people most interested could best settle; and while w? could but have re gretted the severance we felt that we wer? impotent to prevent it. Now that the voters of that section have declared their willingness to abide with the old county, we should establish closer and more intimate relations with each other. A direct road should be graded between the towns, and they should be kept in perfect condition. With a little friendly cooperation on the part of the people of McCormick, the Country Super, visor may be relied upon to do his duty. Caught with tbe Goods. Policeman Hall is on to his job, and when a''stray nigger" Is rambling around with suspicious articles on hie person, he had better eschew the presence of this officer. A few nights ago an old negro Abram who lives with Mr. W. W. Bradley was sent around to the home of Mr. J. F. Brad, ley for a chicken rooster "While there Mr. Jim Bradley grave him an old hen also With a chicken under each arm, he started for home when ho came within the scope ^ of policeman Hall's watchful eye. Nigger> ' night, chicken?this made** complete o&sd and at once old Abram who is anything DUC ini&iil, Wttlj 1U IUB UUWUOO VI uio inn. A search revealed the further fact that Abram's pockets were also filled with sweet potatoes. There the policeman saw the finish of his catch. Abram explained his association with the chicken vory I readily but there was no good excuse for the potatoes except that they just lay so handy in Mr. W. "VV. Bradley's bank. Learning that the hen was intended for Abram's sweetheart, a maid of some eixty summers, Mr. W. W. Bradley allowed his release, with the "taters" too; he was only too glad not to be furnishing the entire meal. The books of subscription to the 5th series of the Building and Loan are now open. Call at the Peoples Savings Bank, or see Dr. G. A. Neuffer, or J. S. Morse A Call for Volunteers One mail need not attempt to reform the nation, or for that matter, even the small corner of the world in which he lives; but the "work of the humblest indi vidual, if well meant, must accomplish something. There is just now a crying need for some man or men who will rise up to condemn the extravagant waste of Christmas tide and who have the nerve to enforce the reform at home. Southern people are naturally wasteful, and at Christmas the bridle is taken en tirely off, and all regard for debt or re sponsibility is forgotten. One child in a family now gets more valuable presents than did a whole family, twenty years ago. If this brought satisfaction or even great **a th/miM Ko cnmn Ol piUOOUIC bUCLC n UUIU WW WV1*1V mitigation; but children are only grown people in embryo, and are swayed by that same spirit that demands more in exact proportion to what they have. The fact that millions of dollars are wasted on each Christmas occasion in ex pensive Are works, or in toys that are broken and discarded in a day, or in still more viiluable presents that please scarce ly for a week, is the least objectionable feature The fact that the parent, by his own lamentable folly is cultivating the habit of extravagance and waste in his child is the greatest cause of alarm. Spending your grocers' money with the toy man, in all conscience, is bad enough, but to raise up your child to this same folly, amplified many times, is simply criminal. "We trust that we may not be misunder stood in this admonition. Peace and pleasure during the Christmas season are entirely proper; and giving within reason is a virtue. It is peculiarly fittiDg that the childish heart should be gladden-1 ed in celebrating the birth of Hiin who I said: "Suffer little children to come unto ine," .The point here stressed is that satisfaction is not attained by extrava gance. In every community there are hundreds 5f homes where actual want exists; where the little stocking, half filled, speaks sloquently of the unequal distribution of jarthly goods. Only fifty per cent of the ivaste that is usual in the averaged home )n Christmas occasions would gladden J ;he hearts of thousands of little children md smoothe the troubled brow of many jarents. Are there not fathers and mothers In his city who, on the next Christmas oc jasion will limit their outlay for toys ' vithin the bounds of reason, and spend ust a small per cent to gladden the hearts tf those less fortunate? Some great man aid when he came to die, that he found to satisfaction in anything that he had lone except where he had made some acrifice for the good of his fellow crea ures. This is the true philosophy of life. That some children are rich and some ire poor is the accident of birth; to the inselflsh heart, we are one in the namq >f humanity. Miss RaphelaKerr Dead Miss IKaphela Kerr, sister of, our fellow ' ;owsman J. D. Kerr died at her home in Jreenwood, Monday ?ftertoon, December 6th 19io, after a lingering illness of about wo months. The very picture of health, young, viva :ious, hopeful she was not such a one as would expect to fall under the hand of he dread Reaper. i ler trouble was gastritis; and at differ" int times.during her sickness, It looked [ke she would surely [recover, only to >rove fatal in the end. The blow falls with pitiless weight on he old father who only a few months ago aid to rest the wife of his bosom. It TOuld seem that in his advanced years le might have been spared the chill of the )itterest winds; but the path of death may lot be followed by chart or compass, and nan cannot divine His course. Funeral services were conducted by Rev ire nd Greene, pastor of the Presbyterian :hurch {at Greenwood. The remarks of ;he pastor were out of the usual line in ;hat he pictured death in its real hideous less. He would not have his hearers ittempt to believe that it was a mere tran sition that did not harrow the soul. Its terrors were such as to bring tears to the jyes o f^the Savior himself. Then there was no escaping its terrors, only there was a remedy for its ills. The service was mpressive and sensible to a marked de cree. Many friends followed the remains of the deceased to her last resting peace; and their hearts go out in sympathy for the surviving relatives. Lamar Clinkscales Improving Mr. Lamar Clinkscales who last week suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he was totally parallsed on his right side seems to be in a fair way to recover. While he can not move his right sidq his speech is very much improved and there are other evidences of recovery. Mr. Clinkscales moved from his planta tion near Lowndesvill about three year ago and bought a farm of about sixty acres just out of the corporate limits of this city. He i6 a farmer of unueuaJ. thrift and abili ty and has prospered well. He has just finished one of the handsomest homes in Abbeville into which he recently moved He is big hearted and charitable of the faults of others, and he has many friends who will be glad to hear of the prospects for his early recovery, ADVANCE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Huckaboe and Miss Leila Moseloy went to Anderson to do some Christmas shopping Thursday. Capt. W. G. Johnson, of Chester, was in this place for a day or two last week in at tendance upon his afllicted brother, Mr. J. J. Johnson, who passed away. A fuller ac count of which is given below. Misses Mary lias kin, Mary Johnson and Mabel Johnson, of Chester, were hero for several days, brought her because of the sad occurranco mentioned above. The Clomson Cadets who had to use this part of the C. it W.

Another Christmas is upon us and most of last week wis taken up in preparing for it, and as usual inucli business was done, a good deal of money and goods changed hands. Saturday night reports of Christ mas guns arouiid showed that the little fojk at least; were making merry over the I annual visit of Santa Clans. On the 2uth instant, about 9:30 a. m. Mr. J. J. Johnson was called from this world. He was born and spent till early young manhood near this place. After making good use of his time and opportunities, while not engaged in farm work, in at tending the old Held schools of nearly a half century ago (having a line mind) and getting all of the aid possible from them in 187(i, he and his two brothers went to Athens. Ga.t where was located one of the | finest and liest equpped colleges, fostered by our sister state. He and brother en tered tlui high school department belong ing to that college, and soon gained a j scholarship, but did not utilize the whol of it, and graduate, as his father died and I he came home to look afifr his mother's: affairs. He afterwards went to Pough KCOpSie, 1> . 1 mill silt'llU UUI1U ?\ K(iia ill, niu I. V ?..ll 4.1...4. ..II., business college located in that placo. Ho then properly began his business career. He was so well equipped for all kinds of business that ho was a success at all that his hands found to do. Ilia services were even in demand. As a business man ho had but few equals, no superiors. From a small boy ho was a consistent zealous member of the Methodist church, always at his post discharging his duties, with Christian lidelity, until tho Lnlirniities of disease competed him to lay aside the ac tivitie&of his Christian life. Ho was liber-1 al with his means in answering all of the! calls of liis church, and the needy never' called upon him for aid without being helped.
