I strtetly a business man, he has given butlitI

NEW POSTMASTER.
j ~ #
Hr. R. 8. Link Winn the Appointment
m Abbeville.
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

LETTERS FROM AFAR.
If Your Niune 1m Called, Aimwor lor
Yourself.
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

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.
