Captain White Is strictly a baslness man, never having bothered with politics, exoepi In 1876, when no man worked more zealously than he did for white supremacy, being I strtetly a business man, he has given butlitI lie attention to pol-tlcs, and has made no elI fort to run tbe town. But, being patriotic and ' public splrited. be has never failed to take a leading part when work or money has been needed.

Several days the running streams about the village were fringed with loe, or completely covered In mime places. la some lew Instances animals have been frozen to death, and in many inniuuces people I ave suffered from cold. Tne low price of eotron and the general depression In business laving prevented their providing against the ..cold by layirg in a rail snpply of warm clothSng there ha* been considerable shivering.

For Rome time there baa been a lively contest (or theappoiutmenior post muster at Abbeville. On tbe election of Grover Cleveland qalte a number of application were tiled for tbe place. Mr. Link whs tbe firm to week from itinong the patrons of the office signers to his petltlop, and his anpointmeot was very generally naked. KiCnuereftsmHi) J. S. Cotbran endorsed LhK petition. Thetield having been canvassed other applicants who uut. in their claims later labored under ihe disadvantage ol applying to citizens. who had been previously approached no ihe subject. Mr. J M. Gambrell and Mr. Chevis Haskell were anion* the earlier applicants. The PoAlin-tsier General ruled that only patrotiBof a post office were eligible to appoluttneuL Tnis was latal to Mr. Haskell's chaucesand he *nve up the hope, although he bud M.rotig support. It is said that Wade Hampton was among tbose who favored bla appointment. It was thought that Mr. Gambrell had hope and a fair chance or appointment, butnooue seemed to know. Later ou Mr. J. L. McMillan and Mr Chancy Miller appeared as contestants, or applicants. lor the place. The Postmaster Gen ??ral In some Instances had favored a sort of primary election u>ascertain the will of ihe people, and lately a new form or appeal was adopted and a public meeting was called. Mr. Link, Mr. Gambrell, Mr. McMillau and Mr. Miller were oresent. Mr. Link and Mr. Gambrell declined to submit their chance* to the meeting, but Mr. Miller and McMillan rested their claims on the verdict of the meet1? a'htt raonit ratio tlmt Mr Millar liorl Lha endorsement of the meeting. Mr. M. T. Coleman was also a candidate for the place, but he bad nolhi og at all to do with the meeting, one way or the 01 her, and we do not know what chances be had, or wbat efiort be bad made. . It is understood tbat Hon. George Johnstone bad influence in Washington, and reports vary as to who be favored. W. C McGowan, Esq., as attorney, or agent, for Mr. Link, went to Washington a sbon time ago In his interest, and it Is thought tbatrhls efforts may bavesecured the appointment for Mr. Link. Any one of the applicants would have made a good postmaster. The public had little to make or lose one way or another, but at tbt last ol the race considerable Interest and some feeling was worked up among some of the patrons of the ottice. Politics seemed to be a factor, and when Interest in politics is exolted, the opposing side cau hardly act so to be free from blame. While many of the largest patrons of the office in town took no part in the meeting or was not preseut, yet the feeling was suub tbat many of the smaller patrons name from ibe country to attend the meeting, although the nlgbt was cold and rainy. Mr. Link will no doubt make a most acceptable postmaster. He is competent, polite and .>kli?in? T-T a mill n^fhona to Ira phurao nf lht< iffice within two or three week*? as soon as be necessary papers are made out.. Any one or IDe applicants would have given (ood KMtlHlaetloQ, and while wlehlou thai aach one of them could have gotten a good post office, we congratulate the lucky uian on his success, Mr. McMillan, the retiring acting poet-master, will go out of office with (he good will of all the patrons of the office. He has served the public faithfully und well. HAPPI EVENT. m Two Popular Young People fire Married. The social event of tbe lash week In Abhe vllle was the marriage ol Mr. Wideman W Bradley and Miss Mabel Tusten, which eveDt occurred Wednesday evening, January 9tb, 1895. This marriage was first appointed to take place several weeks ago, but owing loan unfortunate accident whereby Mr. Bradley bad | a bone fractured in one of his legs, the mar- | rlage was postponed untl last "Wednesday. I He wasconflned to blw bed for Koine elgbl| weeks, but is now able to be out on crutches. They are boib popular young people and mauy friends extend cordial good wishes aud happy congratulation*. Tbey begin life young and under hopeful circumstances. The bride is pretty, aud the munly groom is fuilof energy. His natural endowments and his acquirements emimently quality him lor success in iiie. The bride is the third daughter of that old and respected citizen Mr. Hiram T. Tusten. Except her brother, Mr. Waller D. Tusten, of ttbreveport, Lh? all of Mr. Tueren's children are now married. The oldest married some fifteen years ago Associate Justice E. 15. Gary of the .Supreme Bench; the second daughter married Dr. F. E. Harrison of our village; tbe third daughter has just been married, as i slated above, to Mr. W. W. Bradley. Mr. and 1 Mrs. Tusten are now alone. All their daugh- ( ters having been happily married, and tbetr son having gone into a prosperous business in Hhieveport, La., they have reason for cougrat- i uiatlon In living to see their children happy i and prosperous. i As tbey near tbelr golden wedding day, tbey are lovers still. Mrs. 'l listen Isyetbeau| liful, and tbe lover of her youth is as devoted, | no iou<ici f auu an wuoiuciabc, ao uo nao nuou ho was young. They are bappy in each oilier, and their devotion commands the admiration of all. Mr. Bradley comes of good old Scotch-Irish slock, who, to religion, hold 10 the faith and tenets of the Associate Reformed church. His grandfather Hon. W. K. Bradley and his grand uncle tienerai P. H. Bradley In their day and lime took an active part in everything that looked to the welfare of Abbeville County, and whatever had for its object, the upbuilding of the church, or lis Institutions, always bad their Bupport. Each of these an cestors were once members of the General Assembly. Mr. Bradley's father, llie Hon. John E. Bradley bus always been a conspicuous figure In Abbeville County. At one time he represented Abbeville County in tbe Legislature. Often be has been urged to otfer for election, his popularity being such as to Insure election. But his fixed determination to attend to bis financial interests caused him to withdraw lroio politics. The groom, Mr. W. W. Bradley possessing j the well-known popular traits of his ance?-i tors, entered tbe race lor Auditor when he] was but a little more than twenty-one yeais ui cage, uc wuij au cnnj *itiwi j , ???? ?"? ?>v. . eral years he has made a most excellent Aud-1 itor?faithful to the public Interests and con-i slderateof the rights and equities ol the citizen.

Greenwood, S. C? Jan. 7tb, 1895. By permission we make extraois from latter* dated at Los Angles, California, on Nov. 26.1&94, and Dec. 29th, 1894. written by Mr. Lewis A. Seal, formerly or Abbeville. S. C., to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Sally Seal, of New Market, S. C. As Mr. Heal has numerous friends and relatives lo this connIy, we feel sure the letters given below will be read with much interest by many persons. Los Angles, Cal? Nov. 26,1894. Dear Sister Sally I received yonr letter some time ago but was where I could not. answer conveniently. I dropped yon a postal card from Victoria. British Colombia, some days ago. so aftei nine daysat sea I am on shore again. I think I will walk all my life before I will go to setagain, that is, provided there is any dirt to walk on the way I am going. In coming to California I stopped in Hun Franciso several days to see the city, and I took It pretty well in. I guess there is no .place on earth like It specially in this conn try. There wore several of us together In the hotel in Han Franclso so we employed a-guide and proceeded to "take in the city" especially China-Town. It was Just the same as belnz in China. We first visited the underground dives which ure many, where three or roar live in a small room, as small aa 6x8 feet, and even smaller. We also went to tbe place where they pat those that have leprocy to stay till they die. One glimpse of a leper woald satisfy yoar curiosity for life, so far as lepers are concernWe went Into the Chinamen's Drag .Store, Masonic Hall and into uiaDy place*. I think 1 shall not wish to go throgh China-Town any more soon. There are a great many Chinamen on the Pacific coast. I also visited several cities along the coast and am now at Los Angeles, which Is aboot twenty-five miles from tbe Pacific, aDd not very far from the Mexican line. 1 think I will have to take a trip down into Mexico before much longer a? [ go from one extreme to the other. Ibave spent most of this year la Brltlsb Colombia. Of course I got the gold fever, and tome bought experience Is all I have to show for It, so I have decided to cast my lot in the "land of sunshine and flowers" for awhile, (t seems strange to ba amongst people who keep the .Sabbath, and have preaching all tbe time, don't have It that way in the mountains where there Is snow all the time. It Is very warm down In this nart of tbe country. It Is warmer here now than It was any day in tbe summer where I have been. I think this Is one of the prettiest cities I have ever seen. The fern trees are very pretty. The orange and lemons are ripe yet. This is the first op gortunlty I have bud to so orange groves 1/oey lOOK line kraeu wiiiiiuui is uuuui but bent description I can give of them. Tb< young man who left Bomb Carolina wltb me DuHjustoome back I'rorn Australia. Times are hard in tbat country as well an In thlB. There are more "busted" people In Whatcom and the town J left in Washington than any other place on earlb. There are several men I knew to be worth $75,000 tbat have not a cent. This is a great country to speculate in, and a sure place to lose if you slay at it long enongh. There are a great many buildings going up in Los Angeles. At present times are fairly good here compared with other towns on the Pacific coast. I had some line sport lust winter bunting deer and bear, but did not look very close for bear. Dee. 29th.?Getting back into civilization again where the people keep the Sabbath and gotocburch seems a little strange. I have about discovered the fact, after about six year's experience on this western slope of the Rockies, that I can get used to almost auytblng, nevertheleHs.lt will come outallscoocum some day. Do not get your dictionary fori have been amongst tbe Indians since 1 left South Carolina. They have somewhat of a bad way of telling things, but they "get there" In some way. There are no Iudians about Lob Angeles, but plenty of Mexicans or (Imaboaiij oa uaii man nhi\aoa V/tnt* Atr n ura v r\f \JI 1 onoti OU J VU IU?J VUWV^JU J VM? v?? H " V?? calling them. They are a flirty looking race of people. Some or the grls look pretty well but not anything to boast of. 1 saw a Chinese luneral a few days ago. What a rati lint; good time they did have. The poor man hud enough '-grub" put Into hie grave to last him a month. The Chinaman always put something Into the grave for their deud to eat. It Ik a great country here In this "western world" sometimes and at other times it Is a poor one. Iihas been bad enough here for the past three years. The silver mines have all shut down and that means dull times for this coast. There seems to be so many drawbacks here to every business that It is next to impossible to make any money. The war now being waged between Chin a and Japan stops the lumber trade for the Pnget Sound country and so It has got so dull in those parts it is difficult to make a living there. While up lu the Puget Sound country I spent every winter lu the woods hunting. The boat I came down here on was wrecked on the next trip was driven ashore. The storm was very severe, several ships went to pieces. The waves rolled over a hundred leet high,any way I do not want to travel any more on the sea I was sea-sick a week after 1 came ashore. What ha< become of the old shop at Abbeville? Is Greenwood building up very much? What has become of uncle John Davis and his people? In what part of Texas is Perrtn Anderson? Where is McD. Cater aDd .less Sprewell ? Give my love to nil the lamlly und my best regards to all enquiring friends. NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Judging from the contents of the above letters, there is, it seems, even with nil her trail ties, no place everything considered, that it is bel ter to live in than dear old blstorlc South Carolina. Miss M. Sudie Griffin, of Ninety-Six, S. C., begins teaching today at Mt. Lebanon. When ( be clones her school at Lebanon, she will then take charge of ihe primary department of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, at Greenwood, S. C. She is one among the best teachers In this county.
