Who are (he Crlmlonl CIm?.
The "criminal class" being referred to In
. . general termp, would Jead the reader to believe
that from the ranks of the least pretentious
come the criminals oi this country.
When specal Instances of crime are noted in
the newspapers, does not the certificate of
character which the law breaker gets prove
. that be oomes from the "prominent" people
of tbe community.
.V' ?
The gold standard bill pasted the House In '
Washington last Monday, eight Democrats
votlag for the bill. It will be sent to the Senate
nsxt week. When It becomes a law, we
presume the money question will be settled,
and that Mr. Bryan will have other principles
to advocate. Mr. Bryan will make as
acceptable a leader to defeat as the Democrats
could have. Fighting everything In
f light never won a vlotory.
f : Fireworks.
[ The public square has been the scene of
[ h boyish sports for the last several nights. The
| number and variety of fireworks that bAve
f streaked the darkness or shocked our nerves.
' ' will never be Known, but It Is certain that the
little boys have had an enjoyable time at In- i
nooent pleasure. And their pleasure, and 1
their explosives, have Klven. If possible, greater
pleasure to older and more sedate persons,
who have lost all fondness for the fireworks,
as separated from the boyish Joy and tbe boyish
exultation at the glorious time, which
they are having.

FIRE AT THE OIL HILL.
On last Monday evening abont 8 o'clock the
ncessant blowing of the oil mill whistle, and
be ringing of "Big Bob" told our citizens of
mother flre, wblcb proved to be the "hull
louse" at the Abbeville Oil Mill, wblcb was
oon a mass of flames, fire bursting from the
oof and windows, greedily licking out Its.
laming tongue* In the direction of tbe main
mllding of tbe oil mill, but before tbe devourng
flames could reach this building tbey
?ere completely subdued and In a few moDents
tbe flre was extinguished.
Too much praise cannot be given tbe Abbe'1
lie Flre Company for tbelr prompt runs
md heroic work at every flre. Tbey are always
on "quick time," and under tbe comnand
of Capt. Brown do tbelr work well and
n good order. ?
Had it not been for the water works, and
be timely eflort of our flre company tbe AblevllleOll
Mill and Ginnery would undoubtdly
have been now In ruins.
The flre Is supposed to be accidental. Damges
not yet ascertained.
GETTING BEADY FOK CHRISTMAS.
Everybody seems to be bustling around
turning up remembrances for Obrlstmas, and
naklng ready lor tbe usual "big Christmas."

This gallant officer, the hero of the battle of
Manilla, breathe<i his last at the Garfield hospital
Sunday afternoon, Dec. 17th, at 5:20
o'clock, and now the entire South mourns his
death. He has fought his last battle, and bis
brilliant earthly career being over, we trust
he has won the victory on the eternal shores,
&nd now wears the victors jeweled crown.
FLOOD OF LIQUOR.
That In What the ProblbltloulstH
Would Turn Loose.
Yorkvllie Yeoman.
The Abbeville Press and Banner sneaks a
parable when U says tbat nnder Prohibition
the Ktate would be flooded with liquor. The
majority of the people lu York county townB
and In the country know bow it Is and has
been?say one thing; and do another; publish
to the world that this is prohibition territory
and then?well, the balance is too well-known
to need repeating. The express records of jug,
keg and case shipments bear testimony to
actual facts, and It is known of all men ibat only
a part of the Dolson gets in in this manner,
the larger part of it coming In disguise J, or in
clandestlhe ways by private conveyance.
Many pious souls tbat would he unmoved by
the arrival of two hundred and fifty gallons a
month In Jug and keg In small instalments of
from one to five gallons, would be paralyzed
with horror should the announcement be
made that the same number of gallons had
arrived at the same depot in the same length
of time in oak barrels. It seems to he a case
where it matters not so much what is done as
how It Is done.

The Btreets of a ol ty are of ereat I m porta nee, ;
and when a towa ban a sufficient number of %
well laid off streets It 1b not only a source of 3
great convenience, but it Is something of y
which every citizen Is Justly proud. And S
strangers, as well as home people, have often \
spoken of Abbeville's p/etty sidewalks and 5
excellent streets.' But Abbeville needs to V
take Just one step further lu the line ol pro- J
Kress. V
We oeed a good footway from Port Pickens, J
and we need to have more work done on the %
new street wblch leads from the branch to tne J
churches and the school house by way of the v
oil mi)l. Js
Since the increased business on the South- v
ern railway has made it Deoessary to run so J
many trains, there are few hoars in ttoe day V
that trains and engines and cars are not pass- *
ing over the high embankment, tbns en- V
dangerlng the llveB of those citizens of Fort ?
Pickens who must now, take their lives in V
their own hands, If they come to town. S
The Courts bold that those persons who v
walk oo tbe right of way belonging to a rail- >
road are trespassers, and the companies are V
not responsible for more than ordinary care ?
to prevent tbe killing of trespassers. - For V
these reasons Fort Pickens is entitled to a E
Mdewaik. B
Streets are not only endarlng monutrients s
to tbe public spirit of a people, bat tbey are S
about all that they retain In a tangible form J!
for the money whloh they pay. Except In %
our streets, where is the evidence that Abbe- j|
vllle has spent a vast amount of money In V
tbe last thirty yean>? jg

the intelligent and expert experience of Mr. j|
Klrby, and Street commissioner Gambreil, la V
an ornament aDd a pride to tbe town. The i|
wagon ways have been greatly Improved re- - ^
cently. In the new Streets that have been j?
opened, and In the .bad place* of tbe old W
streets which are coming Into une because of S
the growth ol the town, about one tbouuaud V
wagon load* of rock have been need. i?
One of tbe most notable Improvements of "g
tbe town is to be seen on tbe street leading to 5=
the cotton mill, which has been extended ?j
along tbe front of tbe cotton mill property.
The work of making a sidewalk at tbe bead
of the big galley was made entirely by filling
tbe galley along tbe narrow road, which bad
been rendered almost lm passable because of
tbe encoucbments of tbe gulley.
But tbe best Job at least cost, was tbe sidewalk
whiob enables' tbe pedestrian to cross Mi
the track of tbe Seaboard Air Line railroad.
A ditch wblcb was perhaps ten fret
deep, was filled up and now an excellent side,
wait crosses the dJtcb. The traveling public
owe Street Commissioner Gambrell, and I
Supervisor of Streets Klrby, a debt of grati- da;
