We notice that Mrs. Davis and Miss Win-1 nie Dav!s, widow nnd daughter of Jefferson DavIs, are, through the United Con federate Veterans, appealing for charity to enlarge the sales of the book which Mrs. Davis lias written. Our opinion is, that we have had enongh of this. We have no douht that Mrs. Davis and her daughter are better ott iu this world's goods thau nine-tenths of the old soldiers. Even If they are not, they should be too proud to let the head or the U. C. V's publish the circular which Is now given to the public. Will the South never be done coutrib utlng to their late President. The fit live of Yellow Fever. The latest idea that we have hea'il advanced on the Yellow I'lague is. that the Almighty sent it as a pur.ixhment for Sabbath-breaking?the existing cause being the holding last winter of a session of Congress on Sunday. It may be that the Lord waited from last winter until the hot September days to express his displeasure, and then it may be that he sent this scourge on innocent people, because of the wickedness of Congressmen. It looks reasonable. This liilcroxt You. If you owe the Abbeville Cotton Mill anything on the stock lor which you subscribed, It would be well for you to make arrangements at once to pay whatever is due. The directors recently passed a resolution In. structlng the President to meke vigorous efforts to collect the same. The President publishes his notice and it Is expected that this notice will be heeded.

The merchants of Abbeville never had a largerand better liueof ?oods; nor have they 1<, that a large amount of cotton is brought to tiiis mat ket for sale. The market here for the Rale of cotton 1b first class, as many large firms sre represented by different buyers, besides the Abbeville Cotton Mill is In the market; also our werchants, so that in this market the farmer has every facllit? for selling his cotton to the best advantage, and .'or the highest price bused upon the leading markets ot the world. It Is true the price of cotton is low, hut at the s:ime time It will be remembered the present crop was made at Utile expense?the staple goods being bought at remarkably low prices. The statistical report of the cotton crop of the United States for 1S97 to 1S'.?S is estimated now at about H.500,000 bales, showing already a shortage from first report of 500.000 bale". Our judgment Is that the cotton crop will fall tar short of the statistical report 01 10,000,000 bales as at first estimated. Considering the low price of cotton business is quiet; at the same time our farmers all seem to be doing their best to meet their obligations. This alone Is worthy of note, and In the face ol low priced cotton and quiet times, all are looking and anxiously waiting for better times. makkiagks in arbkvili.e. Collett-Hutihes.

Bernau, 1 THE JEWELER. | Probaply three-fourths of the mouey uHthat passes over the saloon bar is the J'< hard-earned wages of tbe poor. Tbe :r' millions of dollars spent each year in Chicago alone for liquors would bring rj! plenty and happiness to thousands of ?t | homes where want and misery now tie . abound. The money thus wasted >y would, if used for provisions, clothing 2e and fuel, convent this great city into a n-1 veritable paradise, and would make it ^ the sensation of the century. The ie < thousands of saloons which line our >k streets are a menace to all that is good, ggi No genuine prosperity can come to ; us as long as we encourage and protect j men in dealing out the damnable beverages to the toiling masses. The ! poor dupe who guzzles down beer and j whisky ought to be protected from this terrible temptation and his family permitted to enjoy the legitmate benefits of his wages.
