For several days last week the weather wa* boatlful. and but few farmers in town, which was perfectly ritflit as no doubt there is no lack of work for them to do at home, and it Is a good idea to "make hay while the sun shines." About the creenest thing we have seen lately is the front ol one of the O'Neil buildings. It is belntt fitted for a bar room, and when occupied will increase the number of business houses, if not bring more, and enable some ol our neoole to get rid of hard earned, and much needed money with more ease than ever. Last Friday was set apart by the Methodist of Abbeville as day of lusting and prayer. Sunday week will be Ibe commencement of ft protracted meeting in the Methodist Church.

Dr. Leltwich is not an Evangelist but is Presiding Elder nl the East District of Nashville and comes to u'sasan earnest worker In the Master's Vineyard, and we trust his labors in our midst will be abundantly blest. At the conclusion of the morning services in the M. E. Church last Sunday a Church Conference was held; about Hity members present. The pastor In the chair, called upon the stewards for a financial report to-which J. F. Lyon responded, showing lrom hisstateineni Hslrea8urer ihat Sl'iS/ii; had been contributed by the membership throuch the puvelope system since last report. On motion of M. P. DeBruhl, the chair appointed a committee to look after needed repairs on the parsonage and the practicability of buildlt.u a Sunday School room. The reports were gratifylngas they showed the financial condition of the church and Sunday School to be in L-ood working order and the evelope plan of collecting to be so far a good one. Rev. Dr. Sloan and wife were in the city last week. Miss Belle Miller daughter of our esteemed filend O. McD. Miller of Zsinety Six Is now with Ft. M. Haddou it Co.

We are glad to know thnt Mr. VVlnstock has so far recovered as to be able to return to his business. He left Abbeville last Monday. t lie little folks enjoyed a pleasant pound party at the new Hotel onu evening last week. A number of our citizens are speaking ol ordering cotton seed hulls from Elberton, Ga., as the supply here is far short of the demand. Our mill should put on extra steam and more help if necessary, rather than allow her patrons to send off for that which ca*> be suppllMl at their very door. Miss Mabel Upchurch was expectcd to arrive in the city yesterday afternoon. We are delighted to note improvements on the sidewalk in front of \V. J. Smith & Sons Stores; other should follow suit. i t The <ltie*tlon or Prohibition. i Some one hns sent us marked copies of the 1 Manning Times, containing theurticles which are copied below. We re-publish them that our people may see the proposition. This newspaper Is for prohibition every time, and will most heartily support any practical proposition which has tor its object the solution o( the license <iuestion. It liquor is necessary, and the people determine to continue the trafllce in it, then the license fc-es should be . put Into the treasury of the county, instead ' of Into the treasury of the town. The town 1 has no moral right to engage In a business , which is wrung in principle, and the whole people of the comity have a jnst right to pro' test against our opening places in which the . husbands, brothers anil s?r.s of county peo. pie ni'iy become intoxicated, to go on the streets to be arrested and fined for patronizing the legally opened bars! Manning Times, February 17, IS!>2. Prohibition is a live issu<\ and since the temperance people cannot get. it otherwise, they will go into polities. Organize a separate ; party ? we hear ask<d. No! There is but one white man's party in the State, and the respectable element of South Carolina will always light out their grievances within that party. It may be that it will take years before a majority of the party agree that a certain measure is best, but until that majority does so agree the themperance folk will submissively hide their time. The anti-prohibition element of the last Legislature asked ihat the prohibitionists let (lie neonle vote on the Question. The Times is heart ily in favor of tills plan, provided the vote is taken in Die Democratic primaries. It is there the Legislature is clccted; it is there that justice Is equally and honestly meted out; and it is there that a keg of whiskey would not decide the vote of a nrecinct. We aie not in favor of complicating this matter at all, l?ut wish to see it put. forward solely on Its merits. We do not fancy the plan of electing a man to the Legislature on any single plank. The chances are that he will muke a poor general representative, hut, according to our plan, the issue is made, lalrly and squarely, pro.hltilt.ton or license. The candidates for tlie Leulslature would, ot course, be pledged to abide the result of tills vote, ??d to support or oppose it. according as the soverign people had thiiBdirected them. The plan is simple, practicable, and would be the most satisfactory solution of the problem. Will the Democratic party allow the question to he voted on in the primary ? We hope so. We think so. The liquor element will kick, but we believe there are enough fair-minded men to allow the question to be out. And if it Is ever put the prohibition party will win, for the people want prohibition. -Manning Times, February 2J, 18D2. The Good Templars of this place at their last meeting adopted a resolution to request and urge upon the Democratic party the privilege of allowing the question of prohibition and license to be voted upon in the primary. They wish the quest ion to be made a separate and distinct issue, and not In any way involve any other issue. Each candidate tor the Leu is'at ure will, ol course, be requested to pledge himself to be governed in his vote on this question in the Legislature bv the result ol the vote in the primary. Xo lair minded person can object to tills plan. It eliminates the question entirely from poli'lcs. No candidate is at-ked what his views are on this subject; whether he favors bar-rooms or is a prohibitionist; It is simply asked thai, the people be ui veil an opportunity to express their preference, and men, a majority naving uecmeu me question, ibat the Legislative delegtlon, when this question Is Introduced In the Legislature, will vote in unci rdance with the expressed wishes of their const it uentn. Should Mits plan he adepted in every county In the State, there need not then be any fight in the Legislature. The people would have already spoken, and it would be; either in drop the question 11 the vote had gone for license , or, if prohibition had won, create an act establishing prohibition In the Slate. We think the plan feasible and unobjectionable, and decidedly the simplest way of settling tills question. - fm THE CITY OF COLLEGES. ?. ?

Erection or Two lieniitiriil nnci Appropriate Monuments. Two of the most beautiful and appropriate monuments >ln Mia Ilnner Lont? Cane cerne tery have been recently erected by Mr. S.J. Zelgler. of Shreveport, La., to the memory respectively of his father, the late M. (J. Zeigler, of this county, and of his sister. Miss Beuie Zeigler. They are ftom the marble yard of Mr. J. IX Chalmers, ot our town, and both in heauty of design and elegance of workmanship, reflect the highest credit upon all concerned. To one entering the eastern gate of the cemetery, they at once attract attention to their beauty of design, harmony of proportion and appropriateness of inscription. The monument to Major Zeigler conslsfs of a marble column, twelve feet high, surmounted by a draped urn, and resting upon a die, and tills again upon two marble bases, the second ot which bears the name of "Zeigler" In raised letters. On the side of the die are the following inscriptions; "Martin Govan Zeigler. Died .Sept. 13th, 18SS. aued 5S." "What I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." "God Is his own interpreter. And He will make it plain." The monument of Miss Benle Zeigler repre? sents the broken trunk of a fee lopped of Its C?r?HICIlt?5r, ttUU tfUbWIIIt'U Wltu ferns spring from the base. A scroll hangs from the trunk, with the following Inscriptions: "Bcule, daughter of M. G. und L. A. Zel^ler, died July 12,1891, aged 24." "I know that rny Redeemer liveth." "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Near by, In the same plot, a tasteful monument marks the last resting place of two youthful sisters, who preceded their father and sister to the tomb. No more tasteful nor appropriate monuments are to be found In the cemetery than these, and they add much to the beauty and attractiveness of this cherished home of our loved and honored dead. ? a?

W. LYON, i Co. Com. i March 2,18U2. . ;/;VLuttcr of General Ettrle. Greenvillk Feb, 29. 1892. To tho Editor of tbo News and Courier; Your circular letter has been received. You ask that I express my views as to tin* political Hituation, and as to the course that the ouservative people of the State should pursue. Never before perhaps in the history of South Carolina has it b*eti ho important as now for the people to be conservative in all that tbey may say or do in poliucai matters. For never before bave tho white people been so divided in sentiment and separated into factions by in; temal dissensions. The continuation of this condition will necessarily tend to drive them further apart, and will prevent their co-operaJ tion for the good of the State. i nave no axe 10 grmu, ?.*>i nmc i m>; soual wrongs to avenge. I opposed the election of Governor Tillman in tlio last campaign with all the earnestness of my natnre because I believed that he should b? defeated. The people however, decided otherwise end he wan triainpbantly elected. Those who <<pposed his election were naturally sore over their disappointment, and a large number of them are stiil dissatisfied. But under our system of gov ernment the majority mnxt rule and th9 minori I ty must submit. The more quietly and grace fully that they veild to the will of the majority I the bettor it is lor all concerned. J Governor Tillman ban be?-n many timed condemited for his unjust criticism of others, and ui just criticism of bim by his opponents will not injure bim. but will tend to his advantage ' .. ... .... ?1 J?? n|U? I it lr wit* wroiif; 111 uiui v nmnuci uiu?in , be was a candidate, it in Him ply wrong iu others to slander biin while be is Governor. Let hi? fi rmer opponents deal justly with him and (jive him due credit for all "tliat he may do or try to do for the good of the State. That he has done many tilings that are to be commended noue can deny ; that he baa doue < Home things that may be commended all will ad . mit, but *ny iuho in bis position and with his nurrouudingu would be liable to make some mistakes. Tbeu I would suggest to the anti-Tillmanites that it would be well to deal fairly with him and avoid committing the same sin of which he bas been so often accused. Don't follow his example by making uojust accusations against I bim and by magnifying little faults into griev- 1 ous sins. This course will not bring the two factions together, but can result only in keeping them apart. My deliberate, judgment is that Governor Till raau is at present as strong with the farmers as he ever was, and I believe he will be re-elected over any one who will probably take the field against him. This being true, it would be folly ffx nnnAuo him ll'I any Ul IUC HUVl- Jtiumauuwn iv Such opposition would intensify the litter feel ing which now unfortunately exists among i the white people, and succeed only by invoking the aid of the negro vote- Victory at aucb a cost would be too dearly bought. Give me Till man a thousand timed before a Scott or a Moses ! When tbc convention meets, let him be nom- * inated if a majority of the delegates are in his favor; and if nominated, let him be elected ' without opposition so far as atiy Democrat is concerned. Our best, wisest aud most conser- i vative men should be elected to the General As , semlily. Tbis is far more important than tbe e- , lection of any man as Governor. With r good . Legislature, a bad Governor can do littlo harm with a bad Legislature, a good Governor can ' do little good. 1 Respccfullv, f Jos. H. Eaule. I Garden Seeds.
