Cannlntbnm. W. L,. Terry and N. O. LaFar Come to Abbeville. Last Monday three of the State oonstables, namely: O. C. Cunningham, W. L. Terry and i S. G. LaFar came to Abbeville In their olB cial capacity. They were just plain every day men, witbont horns and hoofs, and without special terror to our people. Our people had obeyed the law and these officers were welcomed to the town, and, as far as we have heard, our citizens wished that these constables might do their duty, and discover what- < ever.violatlons of the law that might begoing I on. Constable Cunningham says that Abbeville is Hie best town in the Stale, as far as the liquor business Is concerned. He says if every other town enforced the law as we do that tbe constables would lose their Jobs. He says tbe . town council, the police, ana ine peopie w?u to see the law enforced. ; In reply to a question In reference to the re spective chances of Irby and Evans to carry Laurens county Mr. Cunningham said that ' "Laurens is an Evans county. There is no doubt but thai Governor Evans is the choice of Laurens over Senator lrby for United .. States Senator. During the stay of the constables in Abbeville they made one arrest, that of a colored man, for violation of the dispensary law. Mr. Cnnnlogham says that the police set | them on to the way to catch the violator, and i to them belongs the credit of the arrest. ANOTHER ACCIDENT, -A Good Man Loses a Hand in the Ma- I chlncry of Gin.. One day last week Mr. Dave Glllaim of the the Arm of Glllaim Brothers, bad the misfortune to lose the fingers off of one of his hands which caught In the cogwheelsol the cotton press. Mr. Glllaim Is one of the most energetic, enterprising and worthy yonng men of this county/ and bis loss will be greatly regretted by all good men who know him. The accidents in gin machinery, and the frequent fires that attend that business, it seems to ns ongbt to deter people from engaging in the business. The small profit, set up against lb? great risk of limb and fire, makes the ginning business an undesirable enterprise. Tbe safety In the ginning business lies In getting the best and most improved 1 maoblnery. Tbe custom /to a neighborhood gin IB hardly enoneb to warrant such outlay. Better let somebody else take these , great risks. irnrr\Tm ? tit tit k n/tfctci MUUJM TiLUN WilllVJMO. They Come LMdwt With Apple*, Cabbajre* uul theainnto. Tbere never was a season wben we bad od oar Public Square a greater number of covered wagons, loaded wltb apples, cabbages and < chestnuts, products of the mountains of this State and North Carolina. Tbelr sales are satisfactory to tbe salesmen and tbe goods are satisfactory to tbe buyers. They pay a Kmali tax for the privilege of selling on the s Public Square. MR. B. S. LINK. , !

Nothing of importance happens tome trich you are not sure to hear. If you ff ish to show the letters as trophies I ( nuot lend myself to that. If you a] ish them to read and destroy, my first jection holds. And to have them rubliug about in your desk with bills, isiness notes, and other girls' contri- j itions to literature, does not suit me." 11 Not long ago, after the annual clear- j | gout of graduation day at a large I liege, several letters in a girl's hand-11 riting were blown by the wind out of e student's room. Tbey were re-! iestf?three sepa1 ate letters with three ccessive more urgent request*?for| e young fellow's photograph. They ; fc 11 into unmannerly hands and were oi ad. The girl was known in the colj;e town, and gossip is nowhereeusier set at work and harder to allay than such a place. A little forethought and discretion on ai f mothers' part, wiser attempts to pi in daughters' full confidence, would . ake such things impossible. xj ?

"The major's so-so," said the farmer. iBut the colonel ?" "Well," answered the fartaer, "I in't a-going to say a word against a aan who was a colonel in the war, but 've made up my mind to one thing?I in't a-going to hire apy brigadier-genrals!"
