K Death of an Ajjed Lady. ;c 9 Mrs. Margaret Mahala Shillifo, widow;8 gj of the late Jas. A. Shiilitn, died at the old ; iiume9i**au in turn wwii uii mxi ^cituruuy, ; l after a long and painful illness. In all n her sickness she received that constant j and untiring attention of affectionate i t childroD, which made the act beautiful in . j the eyes of all: She was also the re-; cipient of many kindly offices from her ', neighbors, who had so often in the past ^ received her favors in the hours of; L their affliction. Mrs. Shillito was a kind ( and sunshiny body, whose greatest pleas- / ure consisted in 'making others happy i and in sharing with a needy neighbor ! whatever mitfhl give relief or promote v pleasure. Being uselul and energetic her. t presence will long be missed by those; who knexfr her, and who are able to testi- j t fy to the goodness of her heart. r The funeral in the Methodist rihurch was one of the largest which has ever ^ been in Abbeville, after which her body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in Upper Long Cane Cemetery. c The High School. At a meeting of the Hoard of Trustees last Wednesday night, Mr. VV. O. Jones, a cf Drewry's Bluff, Virginia, was elected principal. Mr. Jones bns telegraphed his I 1 acceptance.

A okntlkman representing tho intei ?sts of thu Greenwood and Augusta Kni ro:t(l and Its connections, came to tow ast week on the invitation of some < jur business men. Wo believe tlii nearly all of our merchants aitf diasatiied with the increased freights whir lie Clydes are now charging, and t!i ibject had in view, was to oiFect arrange nents by which freight could be brough ;o Abbeville by way of the Agugusta an Knoxville, cheaper than our own ma Joes the work. Wo understand tin jnite a number r.f our merchants ar now ordering all their freight by way < \ngusta, and unless the local freight to in (Jreemvood to Abbeville are satis 'actory it is proposed to stop the freight or Abbeville at Verdery, when it will b jauled to Abbeville in wagons until til vork of grading a road from Verdery t his place can be accomplished. As on eaders already know about three-fourth >f tin road from Troy to Abbeville Iih >een graded, and if the contracts with th 'hicago, Carolina and Cumberland tJaj hould not preclude the posihiiity, th.i oad may be finished, wnich would pre *??nt the necessitv of the new road t t'erdory.

[ "Tax-Payer" Answered. ^ i Editor Press unit llamtcr: I Willi reference to the article of "Tstx-Piiyer" tin your last Issue, we have this to say: A , | misunderstanding as to which sldeshould pay C the cost* of the case in ijuestion, aiose alter { r ment iii open court which it I nut been agreed j that he should make. Up to thai time ?0; i were under the impression ihat the delen jdaiits were required by tne tortus of the '.*11111- j promise to pay me costs. When we discover- J ' I ed that sueti was not the case, .Mr. i'rincc, the ' j defendants' attorney, had tiy his staleinenl! . i prejudiced his clients' ease very materially. I [ Uood faith now obviously foibme a trial, I . | whtm tile defendants had commuted them-j, I selves In a niann-r that "Tax-Payer" seems , I to regard as tantamount to a plea of guilty, . ' their acknowledgment having been solemn-j' 1 ly made on the faith of a promise on the pari 1 I of the prosecution to accept It in lieu of any |( ,i possible verdict that might be gained by the ; {trial, ihil the costs had to be met. and snltlce . ! it that after the "eontcivnce" had been going :1 on sometime without any indication . f .1, . satisfactory adjustment, Mr. Pliucc proposed [j | to pay out 01 his own pocket a part of the , I costs as opening the way to a solution of the ditticulty. The County Commissioners would | j not agree to assume any part ol the costs..1.id j< I their attorneys after some demurring deterin ,; ined to pay the balance themselves as the best 11 j way out of a disagreeable complication. II we made no agreement in advance With the ; County Commissioners concerning our ftc. ] Hut we had determined between ourselves 1 what we would ehaige, before the compro- < I hilse was cncctcd ami wneii we na?i 110 nn;a ; 11 of assuming any part ol the c ists.

There had j already been one mistrial; the result of the | sccoikI tilal then about to be had was in vol veil : in uncertainty, and It was mutually aufeed | hy the prosecution and thcdelenee toabandon] 1 the ease as it stood, the defendants, further, i ! publicly acknowledging their liability to the j road law and promising stMct obedience to its i j requirement!' lor the future. It has since!

They have,' a? ft general thins, been had. The Romans,; more thai two thousand years a20. cotnmen-' eed a system of public Wk&Ik that.endure to1 theTprcsent iiav. They were built by enforced i 'a'-or, ami probably under military rule. It unems to l>i? taken tor tr ran? cm I by nearly ov-| fry one. participating In the discussion. that! the old public n>ad system of the State is an ! entire failure. It may be true that the roads! are in had condition, but we are not willing ] to believe that the system is a failure. This; system has answered on'1 purposes for many years. Wherein is It a failure? Tlie popula-; tlon of the Slate's constantly increasing. so therefore the road workers likewise Increase.! Weiin to'd that ns It now stands the law cannot be enforced any more successful-! ly? i 'i'he real inoniry in the discussion of this subject is rarely touched, to wit: Iloes the present system of public highways meet the! demands'made upon it by the travel and Increased commerce of the State? There Is no' doubt that travel Is lamely Increased over, anv other period <>f our history, and that o-.ir commerce on wheels has more than kepi pace with Ihc travel. Iu Ihe proof of 1 his we tlnd | In Oconee that, the public hlvhway leading, from Georgia and North Carolina by way of Walballa and Seneca, through the county,! however well worked, is In numerous places i nlmi.d Imnnuslhle In winter. The road-bed is wlile ami thrown up In the middle in the ninst Improved way generally. Vet we find that vehicles heavily, loaded with produce. I lumber, minerals. cut t.hcse hlsili, hard I beds Into ruts, which (111 with water and are then stirred int" miles of mud well nigh Itn-1 passu hie. In other words, the facts show that no dirt road however well constructed and worked, can withstand the s.rain of travel and commerce to which some of our highways are subjected. Perhaps other roads. eor.vc.vlng Into our town* for a few miles of each, are In a like oondltlou. We have no doubt the same Is true more or less of every county In the state away Jfroin the sea const. What proportion, then, of our roads fail us In the winter season? Very few. probably, where they have been properly laid out and well worked. Because some of tb e lituhways cannot stand the strain put on them in the winter. It Is artrifd that the whole system is a faifure. It Is doubtless true that many of our public rnnds are not well "laid out." to use a term now In general use. For Instance, our highways mount over tho hills and run through the dales. Isthereany good reason why these roads should not run round the hills Instead of over them? Upon an averaee we should think the distance round would not he greater than over them, tioads thus "laid out" are graded with much less labor and can be kept up from year to year with h-ss than half the cost, under the present way of road worklnc. The turnpike road from the west end of the Stumphonse tunnel to the North Carolina line, Maid out" bv an experienced onzlneer. can be studied with profit In r.hls connection. Through this billy, mountain region, when the pike Is iu reasonably good condition, your horse can a I m os trot over It In harness or under the .....1,11.. fV,?n Mill tr. tlmnllior This desultory view brings us in the conclusion that tile present. system of public highways Is not nn entire failure. Some of these romls. as we have said, inuy not be able to stand the (-train In winter, when our crops, | Ac., are being moved to the market. The remedy is not as plain ns thejnecd for one. In somcof th? States, where the dirt roads fail to answer the demands of trade and travel, tnrnpiki 8 maradcmlzcd have been built I either by public taxation or h.v private enterprise? the latter method receiving compcnKfti tlon by tolls. These macadamized roads are expensive, costing thousands of <1 liars a 1 mile, and we would be opposed to raising the i means by taxation to build them. The same |ob|ection could uotl.etakan to building thcao ; tine roads by privale enterprise, the owners I bei ng compensated by reasonable tolls. And for the purpose of cneouratrlng tlio building of those toll roads ttic T.cuislature might pass j a general law on the subject. authorizing tlie formation of companies for this purpose. I We are also opposed to resorting to taxation for the purpose of working our dirt | roads, or creating a new salaried ofllccr for i ihe purpose of doing the same tiling. "Wo have too many salaried offices already. I Property is taxed to keep the wheels of gov! crnmcnt. state andjeounty, in motion, and It 1 Is not right, we think, to lax tills property In I addition, either to build macadamized roads 1 or to work the present dirt roads. We think ! the muscle of the country should share some | of the burdens, as well as all the benaflts, of the government. In some way all use the ; roads and should contribute their proper i share of labor to keep them in belter condition. The Kcoiree Courier's Ncir Type.

Tills will save the well ones, or rather prevenI their being atj lucked by the disease. Their water should lie fresh anil pure. The above Is a preventive. To those already sick nud droopy, {rive two or three te.ispooufuls of strong .iltim water | for lit least two or three days in succession, land mix some ot the alum water with their I food, feeding it to Ihein twice a day. As soon I as any chicken seems to be evidently p.i^t euro, put It out of the way. After three days use of the alum water and food, give It 0111:0 a week uiilll all danger Is passed. The following is another remedy: Mix two eggs, and a tahlespoonful of finely pul verl/.e-l alum willi enuugli Hour to make a thin paste and force the chicken, duck or turkev to swallow a portion of the mixture. This i? quite a certain remedy If used in time. We know of nothing better than the above for chicken cholera. Early Fnll Plowing. We fuel it to be a part of our mission, says the liurat Mrxxeiiffcr, to remind our farmer* every fall of the great importance of fallowing the lend Intended for next year's crops, i It Is looked upon as one of the first essentials In all .successful farming. We have in previous years tried to explain how the turning in of green vegetable matter to ferment and rot In the soil adds to its fertility and betters the mechanical condition. If the pith of I what has been said has kept in mind, and if the general practice of farmers conforms thereto, little more need tie said 011 the subject. Tills practice once well underway, and Caen year's experience will but confirm and Improve it. 'I lie farmer will learn uiore and more about the whole process, and discover the exact time to begin axd the most approved mode of plowing. Let, then, the fall plowing he pushed with vigor. Itegin in time, while the weeds and I grass are yet succulent, lietter lure extra help,ami keep the teams at work, rather than let this Important labor go undone. Any land Intended for wheat or other winter grain should he turned at once, that the more active part of the heating may he over before the seed are put In the soil. .V day's work now is worth two in winter. Kspccially should all clay, still', and medium land be plowed early, so as to give It the benefit of the winter freezes and thaws. Not'lk Carolina Justice. [r r i mdr 11 Journal.) | ThOs; Ij. Shields, recently tried in Charlotte, i N. C? for the murder of J. (j. Sllton, has been I convicted and sentenced to be hung on October tfith, Shields asserted that he killed SI I ton because he had ruined his sister under | promise of marriage, and then refused to keep ! his promise.
