We have been nuked this week by more than one prominent citizen to call attention to the neglect or delay in rebuilding Mendy's Urldgo It is one of the most important, bridges to this town and market, and yet a little bridge that might be? easily rebuilt In two weeks, has now been down for two months or more. The loss to this town, and the inconvenience to the traveling public, hasi been great, and as far a> the people are able to learn, the delay has been inexcusable on j the part of somebody. We do not pretend to say to whom the blame is due for tlio serious loss and inconvenience which has resulted from this deltiy, but an impatient public are beginning to think the delay an intolerable Injury for which the County Commissioners should be held accountable. Two men were In town Monday who wanted to bring their cotton to Abbeville, but could not do so* without travelling many miles out of the way. Abbeville, R. C., Nov. Pith, lsss.

Stevenson,of this county, had the misfortune to have her barn destroyed by fire Saturday morning last, about three o'clock. A horse and valuable farm produce was burnt In the building. Loss, 3000. It is thought that the fire was the act of an Incendiary. Messrs. W. T. Branch, E. G. Graydou, R' R. Hemphill, Thomas McGettlgan, Thos. W Morton, J. C. Douglass, T. L. Douglass, George Milford, Wm. E. Morrison, T. C. Seal, Hamilton Stevenson, James A. Hill, Willie E. Hill, James M. Lawson, and Miss Kate Coogler took excursion tickets this morning for either Columbia or Augusta. A correspondent of the Greenville News pays a merited tribute to the ability and acquirements of our townsman, the Hon. W. C. Benet, in connection with position of speaker of the next House of Representatives. Abbeville wonld feel proud or having the Speaker, and Abbeville feels that none more able or more worthy will be in tbat body. The prediction Is made that the next Congress, of which both branches is Republican, will admit Ave Republican territories as States, and thus add ten Republican members to the Senate, ana probably increase the majority in the Houbo materially. Don't encourage the development ef paupers by giving of your means to those who are able to work. There is no charity in encouraging pauperism, but such act is an offence to society.

There is notliid lug remarkable about the houso: In fact, it Is lit the most unpretentious along this way, for igs North Delaware avenue is a beautiful street of artistic buildings. A grassy track and rows of ..s trees divide the street, smooth and clean, from the sidewalk. The houses are all set sr. back some distance, and the lawns are smooth or broken by flower beds. Tennis grounds and swinging hammocks show that pleasure nt and case are both given some sought, ry I had waited several days for Mrs. Harrlce. sou's return from Put-in-IJay, anil it was with by some trepidation I called the next morning, of fearing she would be loo weary to see any visitors. However, there was no hesitancy vp aboutadmittingme.no mysterious running ., about as it tliey had something to hide. The woman showed me into tho parlor and returned almost immediately to say that Mrs. id- Harrison would be down in a few moments, ds "Mamie," 1 beard a clear, musical voice call, "come take tho baby. I want to go down be stairs." u "Yes, mamma," and a slender, girlish figure in a neat morning gown, ran lightly past the .. door upstairs. I heard the soft rustle of skirts, and then a lady with large brown eyes ,e and grayish hair stood before me. "I am Mrs. Harrison," she announced, and held out her In hand and looked at me inquiringly, whllo I ur told tho nature of my visit. "I think it rather embarrassing to nsk one ?r. to talk of one's self," she said with a smile. [St "You would get a better story, either favorable or otherwise, by going to some one who . a knows me; yet 11'I can give you anything Ke that will help you, 1 shall be most happy." "I was afraid that you might be too tired a., from your trip to see visitors this morning." "I am not In the least tired," slio asserted, Jn with a bright smile. "It was a trip for rest and has been of benefit to Mr. Harrison. 1 am proui that Miave a great deal of vitality. 11 f nm novor 111 nml cinr?n t.hp nnmlnat.lnn T have not had au hour, I can say, to rest. A in little baby girl has come to my daughter since then, and I have had the entire care of them ue both and of my grandson Benjamin added to my other duties. With it all 1 am well and bappy. I have always taught myself not to r? fuss and worry; that it only Increases discomfort and never deducts from it: so I think is" that is the secret of my perfect health." "With all these duties it must be necessary .n to have a housekeeper," I suggested. "No. indeed," she laughed merrily. "That's what I never had. When 1 was a girl my dear old mother made me learn to work. I used to make me angry. ! will never do this ry when I am married,'I would assert petulautly. 'Very well,' mother would answer quietly ly,'the knowledge will be no trouble if you don't, and if you are ever compelled to it will be invaluable.' So I was taught everything ia. and became an expert, especially as a baker. My bread was beautiful. I don t know how nice it would be now,;for it is years since I have made auy. My knowledge has served Dg mo well in making me a skillful housekeeper. I have always attended to my own household ' matters and think it a great pleasure. I often get up at (i o'clock in order to go to market. I n_ always take IteDjamin, my graudsou, with ae me, because the early morning ride does him good. Do ray own marketing? Why, cerry talnly always; how else could I expect to is have things to please me?" "Will you tell me of vour trirlhood davs?" "Yes, they were my happy once," she said, v. feelingly, "I was born In Oxford, Ohio. My father, l)r. John \V. Scott, was professor of the 58, Miami University at the time of my birth and was afterwards president of the female college In the same town, which position ho held ' at the timo of marriage. I received my education at the seminary thero and was a happy 5c. girl. We college girls were very simple in our wants then. Wenad driving and sleighing ai parties, but did not dance. It was considered v a great sin there, but wo manged to have just as much fun without. We would put on our newly starched calico dresses and sun bonad nets, and we were grand and content. Isn't it wonderful how the lives of girls have changed? Imagine any girl during her graduating year wearing a sun bonnet, yet we all did so and were proud of them when newly laundered." "Where did you meet General Harrison?" , "At Oxford. He was a studont at the unli s versity and I at the seminary. We were r>' friends and we were graduated the same year. When he was twenty years old and I almost ill that we were married. So wo started in life young and we have never been sorry." "Are your parents living?" "My father, who will be eighty-nine years u- old in January, is living in Washington with my widowed sister, Mrs. Russell Lord. I of have also a brother living." k- "What family have you ?" "I have a son in Montana. He is married to t the daughter of Senator Saunders, the old War Governor. My son has a cattle ranch and is somewhat of a.Journalist. He has one child. Maitisser. a little daughter. I have a '?; daughter, Mrs. Mary?we cull her Mamie? J Mclvee. She lives here with us, and her husband is a tradesman In a boot and shoe house in in this city. They were married when Mr. Harrison was in Washington, so we had them I take charge of the house for us, and since our or return they have lived with us. My daughter K. has two children, Benjamin Harrison McKee, eighteen years old, who is the ninth Benjaj mill Harrison directly down, and the baby, ,, Mary Lodge McKee, who is but eight weeks old, but is a jolly, plump little fairy." "What is your regulur routine of the day ?" es "It does not differ from any one's," she said, es "I get up at (I, do my marketing, breakfast at er 7:yo, bathe and dress the babies and have a romp with Benjamin, lunch at 1 and have I dinnerate. Exceptlntbj summer months Be I devote two mornings weekly to painting tie lessons, and one morning to a literature class, 11. of which I am a member. By the way, this is a very literary city. We have three literary lii- classes as well as literary clubs; and we have ,l a Woman's Club, which is most entertaining and instructive. Besides the Woman's Club }d we have Fortnightly Club and the Merrill B. Literary Club, named in honor of our teacher, at Miss Katharine Merrill, a remarkably gifted woman. Our success is due to ner teacning." 1C In addition to all this Mrs. Harrison Is quite a musician, understanding music thoroughly and being very fond of It. And now I have m not told you what she looks like, but as her 'ft face is already familiar to tho reading public wr there is not much to tell. Suppose I describe her as sho looked tho morning I called on her. ks Sho is small, probably not moro than five feet two inches, and has a plump figure. Her hands and l'ect arc baby-liko in size and her ,T llttlo dimpled fingers display a marriage ring ' and three diamonds. She wore a plain gray clotli skirt and plaited Jacket, belted at the th waist. Her sleeves were tieht and plain, ro. showing the outlines of a finely moulded jr- arm, and enamelled gold bracelets clasped the fair wrists. Her eyes are large and a soft brown and her hair contrasts beautifully, being gray, Her mouth Is the right size for cs beauty. Sho wears a soft, Huffy bang and her ae hair colled low on her neck. Her pictures do jr, not do her justice, as they can not show how le- her face lights up, how tho soul comes into is her eyes and how tho expression foretells 11- every thought. She is a brilliant conversa m well a? a'beautiful woman. ey ? ? ? " Diphtheria. 1 a Here Is a diphtheria remedy extracted from of the Belfast (Ireland) Witness: "Should you , is or any of your family be attacked with diph j. theria, do not be alarmed, as it is easily and jer speedily cured without a doctor. When It nn was racing in England a few years aeo I ac id companies Dr. Field on his rounds to witness ijg the so-called 'wonderful cures' he performed while the patients of others were dropping on both sideH. The remedy is so rapid it must be simple. All he took with him was powdered sulphur and a quill, and with theso he of cured every patient without exception. He w. put a teaspooufui of flour of brimstone in a wine glass of water, and stirred with his finger instead of u spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the , sulphur was well mixed ho gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant In a few minutes. ! Instead of spitting rut the gargle, ho recoincu mended the swallowing or it. In extreme cases, in which he bad been called Just in the . nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly D" closed to allow the gargling, be blew the sul. phur through a quill into the throat, and after , the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the lD' gargling. Ho never lost a patient from dlphid theria. If a patient cannot gargle take a live E- coal, put it on a shovel, and sprinkle a spoon;et ful or two of flour of brimstone upon it; let h- the sufferer inhale by holding his head over ou it." :e.

Some are Highly Complimentary tc the President-elect, mid nil Agree that a Vindictive Policy Againsi the Noiith fH Almost Out of th< <tiieHtion. The response to requests from the New* ant Courier for their opinion of the effect of Harri son's election on the youth, the following re plios have been rcceiveil from editors of lead ing Southern newspapers : CxALVKstos, November 8.?Special: Id .111 editorial to-morrow morniDg the News wll! say: _"As regards the successful candidate for the I'resiaency tnore is mum ?m; u? munui since in the pereoiml history and known char' actcr of the man. Unclt-r the most, searching tests lie has not been found wanting In lirm ness, courage, stni.iiity or integrity. It is scarcely reasonable to apprehend that such r man, clothed with the responsibility of th< Presidential office, will deliberately lend him self to a policy designed to destroy the do mestic peace and the material prosperity o! the South. It is more likely that Republican politicians, such as Sherman In Ohio and Ivelley, of Pensylvania, consulting the view! and ambitions of Northern manufacturing and moneyed interests, will endeavor to dis solve the Democratic solidity of the South bj a policy of conciliation and forbearance rath' er than of interference and exaspertion with regard to delicate and sensitive problems of n domestic naturo In the several Southern states." What the World Thinks. From the New York World. The Country may as well make up Its mind that Harrison Is to be President for the nexl four years, and that the Democratic party hat been relieved after a single term of power, Jieyond question, this is the result of the is sue made by Mr. Cleveland's tarltf reform message, which came too late or too soon. The people were not sufficiently educated or the subject to be able to overcome ffrejudlces and discover the fallacy of Republican arguments during the heat of a Presidential campaign. Yet the result in the Western atatec will show what progress the principle of tariff reform and tax reduction has made among the masses. The tariff looms up everywhere asthetrojan horse from which issued the hosts that overcame the party that led them into its midst. Senator Gorman says it cost Cleveland twenty thousand yotes in New York city, and nearly as many in the state. It reduced the Democratic majority In New Jersy, and came near costing the party the state ol Connecticut. The Republican cry of free trade versus protection answers its purpose in the defeat of the Democrats. That the tariff lost us in New York, there is no doubt. As an instance, the defection it occasioned among the longshoremen alone more than accounts for the loss of the state. The river districts ol the city manifested unusual Republican fcirengin, aim mo lung&uureiueu worn icu inmost solidly Into the Republican party. They are usually Democratic, but this tlmo could not bo held. They poll a very large vote, and had they stood with the Democracy on the national, as they did on the state ticket, Cleveland would have received the electoral vote of New York, and thus been re-elected, There are many other such instances which demonstrate beyond a doubt that the Democracy owes its losses to the inopportune springing of the tariff question.

Jacksonville, November 8.?Special: The Times- Union says, editorially: "The time has gone by when the supremacy of one or another of the groat political parties can seriously affect the general welfare of the people of this country, The Republican party, both its records and in the policy which Its leaders are likely to pursure, Is, however, inimical to the South. Its present victory will rekindle the hopesof the negro for political supremacy, and this will only send to solidify the Democracy of this section against a rule of Republican ignorance. Under a npmnrrat.lf! Administration the race lines were disappearing. Now they will bo sharply drawn again. Legislation will be likely In Republican hands to so shape itself as to retard Southern developement, for the South is fast becoming the industrial rival of the North and East. That our material developement will proceed despite this policy goes without saying, but the Harrison Administration cannot fall to be a bitterly partisan one, and thus tend to divert attention from business to politics?a condition greatly to be deplored. "F. W. Hawthorne, Editor." The Presidential Election lla?l JLesa Depressing Influence on Trade Than Any Ever Before?A >oo<l Outlook. Now York, Nov. 9.?R. G. Dun & Co.'s re view of trade for the week hays: The election has so far interrupted business during the past week that comparisons with the corresponding week last year are misleading. Nevertheless, the volume of lejrUmate business has been wonderfully well maintained during the past week, ??s during the whole political campaign. Tbc presidential contest of 1888 goes into history as having disturbed current trade los l hau any previous contest, although it turned largely upon industrial and commercial questions, and was generally considered doubtful to the very end. And this is more remarkable because In months preceding those of the political excitement speculation had been unncually actlvc and extravagant. With the decision of the people there has come a more confident tone to many branches of business, and a larger trade with improving prices Is usually antiepated as a result of the postponment of many operations and purchases in the past month. Reports from the interior points generally recognize l^a maIIH/viI ATflUftiYionf 00 o nonea of tho quiet in trado during the past week, and yet it Is noteworthy that the aggregate of transactions was large for only five working days. At all cities reporting, money continued in fair or active demand, while scarcely anylcomplalnt of stringency is heard, and collections, though somewhat Interrupted, have been on the whole satisfactory, with an Improvement noted In several cases. The large volume of currency In clrculatlen, together with the temporary inactivity of speculation oxplainns the matter; and an official statement shows that tho circulation of all kinds of money, which had passed October 1st the maximum of last year, SI,381,000,000, Increased S23,;j00,000 In Oct. and reached 51.406,871,6G8November,.boing Sll,50O,OUO larger than a yearago. In the past week thotreasury has also paid out 51,700,000 more than It has taken in. Secretary Whitney"# Opinion. Secretary Whitney came to his office very early. His return was uncxpeced, and at the same time, it was a soothing balm to his friends. When Commodore Harmony called on him, Mr. Whitney said;"Wellcommodore, we'venothing to congratulate ourselves upon." Later a caller was given to understand that tho los9 of New York was dne to the fact that tho worklDEnieu had not been properly educated as to the tariff, aud they were more to believe that Democrats wers mere free traders, Instead of more trade reductionists. The secretory remained in tils office but a short time when he.left for home. JUSTICE LAMAR GIVES UP. Mr. Lamar was asked whatho thought of the election by a number of newspaper men. "I am not one of those," said he, who are ulways waiting and hoping for something better when they feel ana see that the tide is against them. Everything points to Harrison's election, and I don't think that there will be any change in the results. I liclicve that later Information will make it mere favorable for Harrison. It is a great surprise to me. and I don't think the torllf issue ia responsible for the defeat of the Democratic party. In regard to the torliF, I remember reading, with groat interest, the testimony token by the tariircommission of 1882, and I was struck with the fact that there was not a singio ODe of the number of manufacturers examined who did not admit that his business could stand at least a small percentage of tarriir reductions. Of course, a man's statements, even under oath, are naturally somoi what colored when they are in regard to his pecuniary interests, but yet all who were examined then admitted that a slight reduction of the tariff upon articles employed in their manufacture might be made without serious injury to their business. This is what the tariir measure proposed by the administration would do. It was a reform measure, and not a free trade bill." COL. LA MONT l'REKKRS SOLITUDE. Col. Lamonfcspent tho greator part ol the day In Operator Montgomery's room. This place was carefully guarded from intruders. Whenever the door opened the click of the instrument was hoard going at a rapid rate. A glance was had of Mr. Montgomory, and he appeared to bo a much used-up man. A note was sent into the colonel for the purpose of Kottlug an Interview with him on tho situation, but it was no go. It was returned to thosendor with the bare statement that the polonel had "nothing to say." 1JAYARD IS SILENT, TOO. Secretary Bayard could not be seen, and when a card was sent in to him it was returned with tho words, "Have nothing to say." Acting Secretary of the Treasury Thompson begged to be excused from talking. "I have nothing say," he remarked; ''in fact nothing an bo said until the returns aro all 1 n." Attorney General Garland was as discreet and guarded as he could bo, aud get out of close questioning by asking questions in referenpo to tho returns. Tbp burden of his talk was that he could not say anything other than what had beep already spoken of In tho papgrs. - a" v 'y.y'*[" ' GREENWOOD CHAT.

Not until Saturday last did Mr. Reynolds succeed in inducing the amount to be refunded by sundry threats of State honors, did the amount make its appearance.

B^ the election of last Tuesday week, November 0, Benjamin Harrison was chosen President over Grover Cleveland and Levi P. Morton Vice Presideut over Allen G. Thiirman. The result of the election has made some of the people glad and others sad. A per cent, of the people, we presume, are simply satisfied, and would have felt about the same way ii the defeated party had been victorious, The greater number of the people will probably do as well under Harrison as they would under Cleveland?and vict verm. The wisdom of the majority who chose Mr. Harrison over Mr, Cleveland is not in the fact that the Republicans outvoted the Democrats that is yet to be made manifest. The four years following the 4th of nexl March will reveal the character and administrative ability of the President elect and of those who co-operate with him in giving the people a "Republican" administration. So far as the chief rulers and theii subordinates fear God, love mercy, walk humbly and do justly in the coming administration so far will they do their part iu exalting the nation, To this end all the people should cooperate in effort and in prayers for all that are now or may then be in authority, that we may have quiet, peace and prosperity in our land. Let not tht success of one party or the failure ol the other party affect the patriotism ol either, and let not the patriotism ol any conflict with obedience to th? teachings of the Prince of Peace and Savior of men, before whose judgment seat we shall all stand and give an account for the deeds done in the body. If the several parties in the recent canvass would put forth efforts to have Christ rule over this countrv cor responding to the efforts made for the election of their several candidates, what a happy people we would be! According as a people submit to the government of Christ they reduce the necessity for human government and for civil rulers. Good Planners. Thorough good-breeding is a rarity, is it not? Are a majority of men and women well-mannered ? The foundaof ill manners is laid in youth, and its groundwork is selfishness. The pretty babe, the pet and darling of the house is "too sweet" to do any thing "ugly," and so the little creature because of its very innocence and beauty is allowed to acquire habits which in after years are disgusting to those forced to bear its company. It matters not what the conversational powers of a man, nor as little the wit or brilliancy of a woman nor even does I it matter how .good, they are, how self-sacrificing nor how prayerfulone is none the less repelled, disgusted, by the bad manners which are rooted in a disregard of the rights of others. One has a habit of hawking and spitting in the presence of others which nauseats an even ordinarily delicate stomach, to say nothing of those more sensitive. Another, may be a man whose fame is in all the churches, perhaps a prayerful woman, offends every one they come in contact with by a belch not at all suppressed. A celebrated Doctor of Divinity once shocked his host and a table full of better mannered guests by pushing his chewed food from his teeth with one of his fingers. Another equally famous,used his fingers oftener than his fork, and smacked his lips, and made such a variety of loud, disagreeable noises that every well-mannered person he met was offended. Doubtless if you had laid before them a copy of rules on table manners they would have subscribed to them readily enough, and gone on immediately to violate every specified item. You say these things should not be? That we should value men for their moral qualities rather than for their manners? Manners are morals. Who can highly esteem one that is thoroughly selfish??and ill-manilers is founded on selfishness?a forgetfulness of what may be offensive to others. No one is won by him who while uttering wise or witty sayings at the same time disgusts every sense by a foul breath, by unseemly guttural nniaoo Kir ty-? on nin rrl ncu ninlmno t\f* fhf> Iivigv.i3| KTJ uivuiiiu^ivoo Iiivviviig v? wwv features, or any of the thousand disagreeable habits which can be acquired when we do not consider the pleasure of others. In an obscure corner of a newspaper we saw the other day something like this? A smile and a clean collar go further toward the happiness and moral elevation of a child than twenty acts of needless self-sacrifice. If mothers would smile oftener and correct their children's bad habits with good temper there might be fewer ill-mannered juveniles, and, as a consequence, fewer ill-mannered adults. That Million. While we award to Mr. Daniel Hand due praise for his magnificent douation for the education of the negroes in the South, we cannot approve the discrimination which he in his liberality has made against the whites in the South. There are thousands of whites in the South that need and deserve help tD be educated as much as the negroes do. But Mr. Hand has the right to do as he pleases with his own.
