The i State being the mother of us all, bow can pat- pu riotlc soos glory in repeating tbe shameful all things which are unjustly said of her? We wl cannot account for it, except tbe hope that i tbe tarnishing of our good name might hurt de Tillman. Why not act sensibly, and recog- Ai nice tbe fact that tbe law is here, and here to ne stay until it Is repealed? After the law has been tried, and found to be objectionable, It nc can be repealed, if the people so will it. th While tbe dispensary law will no doubt m work a hardship to many persons now en* wl gaged in tbe sale of whiskey, it Is quite likely H that tbe public will not suffer. f lilt) piVUlUltlUUilW DUUU1V1 wuuuuo >v svv. jjj, to redooe the evils of the drink habit, and o. ahoald work for such amendments to the law J* as will bring the best results to sobriety and yy morality. j. The prohibitionists In the past were knock- W ed out on the high license business, and now jx the dispensary came between them and pro- Cr hlbltlon. J Bat the prohibitionists have never yielded t any point which tbey have galced, and they will In the future, as In the past, strive for the attainment of the end which will be promo* ' m tive of peaoe and prosperity. Aj ? . J. W Tb? World's Fair on Sunday. Tt T If we were pandering to the prejudices or * anybody, we would say nothing about opening the gates of the World's Fair on Sunday, ' but we think the opposition to their being D? opened is baaed upon an imperfect knowledge of the facts which correspond to the w< opening of the Fair on Sunday, and about ^ which the "anoo good and rigid righteous" q have said nothing. We presumeevery public park in the Unit ed States has been open every day since its Inception, and nobody says anything about it, The parki are made attract! vein every way H possible, and thousands go there every Sun* ^ day to spend their time and breathe fresb air. ^ Many theatres and minstrel shows are open every Sunday In many or tae ciues, dui nobody seems to care about that. Our people, right here in Abbeville, In many Cc Instances,spend the day as one for recreation and pleasure, and yet as far as as we know, very little eflbrt has been made to induce w: sooh persons to enter our churches. Jjj If tbe opponents of the opening of the pc World's Fair on Sunday were consistent they in would carry more force with them. . It is an extremely pious man who will lock . himself up In his hotel on Sunday while In bt tbe big city of Chicago, and if be goes wan- ^ dering abdut the city he might Just as well go 1 to the beat and most respectable places of re- m sort. ~j eii The Ballr*ad Caaea. te We ask your attention ta tbe Statement of th Vr t .r k'lrkiand in reference to the rail- m road oases. It seems to be the fullest and tbe fairest ^ presentation of the facts that we have seen. This together with tbe testimony which Is to now being taken, forces the conclusion that J the rallroadB will win, and that Judgment th will be rendered affirming tbe allegation that Cs the State officers are trying to oppress the p" railroads. This is one case In which tbe good name i and tbe honest intentions of tbe officers are Involved. ar -Tillman nald on every Btump in this State tbat tbe assessments were too low, and tbe Comptroller General, under his official slgna- He ture, has said the same thing, and yet in tbe ? ?ace of acknowledged and proclaimed facts, E. tbe State offioers have determined to make W the railroads and the banks pay on a much higher rate of assessment. J Tbe intelligent and fair minded reader will ve have but one opinion as to the Injustice 10 which has been attempted, and no doubt can 1? u ?1 wnwihanBlKlfl mnflvii urhif'h 7^ UC UOU Ul bUO IW19UVUOIWIV *"x/?-? ? w ..^ prompted the proposed wrong. 8. Ia a normal condition of affairs such acts Ron the part of public officers, who are sworn y" to act fairly, would consign them to everlast- E. ing retirement from public Bervlce. ? ? A | Commencements and Baby Name*. TJ Now is the season for publisblnx accounts p of oommenoementa In the schools and col- a lege*, and now oar patience and endurance Is Gi put to the sorest test in the way the name of LD the boys are often printed on the programs and in the newspapers. For instance: "Jim- Ai rale," for James; "Bobbie" or "Robbie," lor te Robert; "Tommie," for Thomas, and all such H baby names that belittle and unnerve a manly boy who may be worthy of a proud name, instead of being classed as a nonentity. > Such praotices as we here refer to is not on. of ly a reflectionoo tbe intelligence or the teach er, bat is also injurious to tbe boy whom be h may deem unworthy of a manly name. A Tt boy wltb a pet name, or a baby name, or a ^ nick name, Is handicapped for tbe wbole of x. bis life. All tbe events of a man's life may be blotted out, or lost in tbe lost vista or B-, years, but a nick name lasts forever. ' ? lt< What Will Tillman Do Now 7 ed The Governor was very emphatic in bis ex* 111 presslons about Sheriff Nance in the railroad matter, and latter on, bis Excellency paid all ' - the fines on other Sheriffs, leaving Sheriff ^ Nance to look out for himself. ' Now, tbe railroads with unprecedented J.* cheek, take the Governor's own appointed T. Auditors to prove that he and other members ? of the Railroad Board of Assessors have an. ' der tbe formB of law, violated every sense of z? Justice in trying to extort from the railroads bD more than tbeir part of taxes. Bi The Idea of proving by one officer that an- 1 other has acted wrongly, Illegally and con- \ trary to his oatb of office, is, ahead of any precedent that we have beard of. We are curious to know how the Governor ^ will take such treatment from the Auditors j0 after dealing so severely wuu snenn iNance j. for a much less grievous cause. ^ ? 1 a Honors Recognised. J*, We believe It was about two years ago that W the Sonth Carolina Weekly State Press Asso- Ej elation was called upon to elect three dele- sil gates to the National Educational Assoela- 1 tion, which met last year. The Association, Instead of electing all the delegates from their own ranks, elected the editorof the News and Courier as one of the three delegates. The News and Courier last winter cut its country jU cousins from the exchange list, which it bud ai a perfect right to do, and nearly all of the W country papers have survived the loss, con' ? trary, perhaps, to all expectations. j| .,p Kc People are very scarce who do not j talk more thau they should about hc themselves. Tl; In many places in America the people are going to perdition under the pressure of an excess of anti-Puritan ism. It is estimated that it costs well-to- ui do people in this country ?125,000,000 wi yearly to support charitable institutions, while about ?500,000,000 are in- j vested in permanent buildings, where Sr the needy are cared for.

REMARKS OS A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. f f] We noticed last week a" remark made In t rlnt, by one who has a bright war record, 1: ad prides himself as being as good a soldier s there was in the late Confederate war. In peaking of the late reinterment of the retains of our beloved and honorable Jefferson (avis, be said the "Davis entertainment." ^e surely think this mnst have been a "mis- B rlnt" as we cannot believe so solemn an ocasion as that to have been spoken of so * llghtlngly. and we only mention this because a e have beard otbers speaking of It, and that t ur friend may set himself right before the eople who may criticise his remark. We be- I eve It to be an error. 8 ABBEVILLE'S GREETINGS TO A HAPPY BRIDAL PARTY. 3 Chief Engineer O. L.

Ellis; R. E. Cox, Secutary or lerk. It was agreed that the store room In the I'Neal building. No. 1. generally known a? tie store occupied as a bar by Perry was a nltable place In which to establish thedlsensnry. A bill of goods which It was thought wonld nswer the publle demand, was made out. It noludes three grades of corn llqnor, Ihree rades of rye liquor, brandy, porter, ale, beer, 'he whole stock will amount to some 81200. Mr. R. E. Hill was present, and tne question f the snlary of dlapenser was discussed. Mr. till was not willing to take tbe office until a eflnlte sum was settled upon as UlB salary, nd he was not willllug to take It at nomal flu res. The Board recommend that the Balary of Ispenser be fixed at 81,000, Irrespective of he amount of sales and profits, the Board aking the position that the dispenser's salry should not be contingent on the sales. The Board has authority to elect assistants Or the dispenser, but as the position is one of rust, they delegated their authority to Ihe Npenser, authorizing him to choose wbomoever he pleases, reserving to themselves 11 their rights to hold the dispenser responIble for everytbihg. It was also resolved to withhold the order or goods until after the dispenser bad slgniled his willingness to accept the position,and he salary that the State Roard may be wiling to pay him. "That's Thee, Jim." A band of young men, with hands ind faces blackened, and dressed in 'ery queer costumes, sung some comic ongs at Mr. Carr's door one day, and hen one young man asked for a few jennies. Mr. Carr, taking up a Bible, aid: "See here, young man, I will give rou a shilling, and this book beside, if r/M, will rear! unmp nf it, to VOUr Com ades, and In the .hearing of the bytanders." "Here's a shilling for an <*asy job !" le chuckled out to his mates. "I'm foing to give you a public reading!" Mr. Carr opened at tbe 15th chapter >f St. Lube, and pointed to the ileventh verse. And Jim took the book and read: "And He said, A certain man had 00 sons: and the younger of them laid to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. \nd be devidedjunto them his living. \nd not many days atter, the younger ton gathered all together, aud took lis journey into a far country, and here wasted his substance with r}ot* >us living." "That's thee, Jim!" cried one of his :omrades. "It's just what you told ne of yourself and your father!" The reader continued: "And when he had spent all, there irose a mighty famine in that land: ind he began to be in want." "Why, that's thee again Jim!" said 1 voice?"go on!" "And he went and joined himself to iitizen of that country; and he sent lim into bis field to feed swine. And le would fain have filled his belly *rifh th? hnakn that the swine did eat: ind no man gave unto him." "That's like us all!" paid the voice. >nce more; "we're all beggars; ana night be better off than we are? Gc >n, let's hear what came of it!" And the young man read on,* and a? ie read his voice trembled: "And >vhen he came to himself, he said, Flow many hired servants of mj other's have bread enough and tc jpare and I perish with hunger! ] ivill arise and go to my father!" At this point, he fairly broke down ind could read no more. All were impressed and moved. The whole reality >f the past rose up to view; and, in :he clear story of the Gospel, a ray ol iope dawned upon him for his future, His father?his father's house?aud bit mother too; and the plenty and th( ove ever bestowed upon him there ind the hired servants all bavin? enough; and then himself, his father'i son; and his present state, his habits Hid sins, his poverty, his outcast condi Jon, his mode of living?all these jame into his mind, and fairly over same hime. - ' * X f 1.,4 That day proved mt turning puim in bis life. It resulted in this long lost and yet dearly loved son returning A) bis home; and still better, to bis Heavenly Father! To Young Christians. In a letter to young Christians, J. I Miller says: You want to be such t Christian that everyone will knov without asking your pastor that yot have given yourself to Christ. Youi life must be beautiful and you must b< a growing Christian, each day bette] than the day before. There are som< things you must always remember t< Jo if you would be thus faithful and consistent and would grow in grace rhis is a hard world to live in. It ii full of temptations. Its influences art ot helpful to a Christian life. We al need to be very watchful and careful about our habits so as to keep out hearts always full of grace. I have recently found five rules ..tiisiti om uoru arnml for all Christians "U1V/U V ? W.J & ? aid and young, and which I want tc ?ive now to the young Christians whc read this letter. As Brownlow North lay on hh leatbbed he enjoyed, according to laic >wn confession, "perfect peace."
