This Is a worthy aod poble object and every one should not MBflMeem it a privilege, but an honor to be l^^Hbtitors to thlB great cause.

This road was well named, being "black" In all Its doings and acts from Urat to last, duping a generous and liberal minded people all along Its route who were not only willing to give the right of way through tbelr lands, bat to contribute liberally of their means. ABBEVILLE'S FALL OPENINGS. The day was all that heart could wish, beautiful and bright as a summer's dream and our ladles took advantage of It aid were out In lull numbers to show their appreciation of tbe effort of tbe merchants to please, as well as to feast tbelr eyes and Batlsfy their curiosity In beholdlDg the grand display of beautiful goods, which was more elegant and elaborate than heretofore. These "Emporiums of FaBhlon" are certainly filled to overflowing with rich and costly goods, embracing all tbe newest styles, and lastest novelties of tbe season. We cannot make personal mention of each firm, but simply say each display waB perfectly beautiful, and a grand success, and tbe merchants deserve great credit for their artlstlo and beautiful arrangement In tbe grand display, aud especially In their obliging and courteous manner to every one visiting their stores. The openings seemed to be of great pleasure to our people, and we hope was profitable to the merchants. . VISITORS COMING AND GOING. Mrs. T. G. Blake, Mrs. Frascr and daughter, Mre. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Capers Riley and Mr. and Mrs. J, W. Boyd were among the visitors from Mt. Carmel who took In the opening last week." Miss Carrie Mars, a pretty young lady from tbeSavannah side, was shopping In the city Miss Nell Sign will leave today for GritBn, (ia., and will be tbe guest of her friend, Miss Jessie Peckham.and will be maid of honor at the Lawson-Peckbam marriage.

Mr. Ben Hughes ran Lbe train out last Monday. The many friends of Mr. John Robert Wilson will be sorry to learn that he Is quite sick it his home near this place. ABBEVILLE'S BIG COTTON WAREHOUSE. Our people have at last arrived at the conclusion that to be In the line of progress, tttey too must build a warehouse. Other neighboring towns have tried the enterprise and It not only proved a great success, but a blessing to the people at large and especially to the farmers. Our bankers, merchants and farmers shpuld all rejoice in this progressive move for the welfare and upbuilding of the trade of our city, as by It hundreds of dollars that now go to neighboring towns (In cotton) will be kept at home, fiy the use of the warehouse the farmer can store his ootton, draw money from our banks on the warehouse reoeipt, pay bis merohant, and hold bis cotton as long as he pleases. These are some of the benefits to be derived from the building of a warehouse. We are glad to state that when we first saw the subscription list only four had put down tbelr names, but in tbese four about one-third of the capital stock had been subscribed. The Insurance, Interest and storage will be the expense attached, and It is said the gain In weight between being out of doore and In the warehouse will almost pay these expenses. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. John Lyon, who graduated from the Charleston Medical college last spring, has Just returned from a six month's practice In theolty hospital, and Is now ready to oiler bis medical services to the public. Dr. Lyon starts out on life's voyage under fair sails, and with best wishes from many friends for hlB success in his chosen profession. Mr. P.

SALtfOKm DISPENSARY. Ttie Prenbyterlan Standard Make* Utterance on tbe Subject. The Presbyterian Standard, an able religions paper published at Charlotte, among other things, says: 'Bemaln the dispensary and the saloon. Tbe saloon Is bad eaough bat the license tax Is an additional evil. We say to the saloon keeper ' You've got to make enonith money out ol your business to pay lis 81,200 a year over expenses or you jnust "hut up shop. Bell all you can. and a/Julterate all you please, but pay us our motley. And the saloon keeper proceeds to do as we suggest. . ..The law of land recognizes that the liquor trafSo is a menace to the publio good, a breeder of disorder and a promoter of crime. Henoethe police power which tbe State assumes in the limitation and control the traffic. ;/Tbe 'most complete oontrol Is that of ownership. Therefore it the community has the eight to oontrol and restrict the business, as no other business is controlled, and because of Its 1 nheren t tendec cy to breed d 1 Border, It has the right to take possession of tbe trofflrt onflvalir 1Wr nnrrvnuofl r?f Qhflolntp Win. trol. ? ;t Tbe saloon keeper mast sell to make bis living, and tbe license tax Is an additional stimulation to sell. The dispenser la Wwm offioer Indifferent to tbe amount of bis salea. Tbe saloon. In order to make Its way. mixes cheap spirits with cheaper poison, thereby undermining tbe physical oonstltatlon of the poorer classes far more speedily than mere Intoxication would. Tbe dUpenser forfeits bis plaoe and bis bond and perhaps bla{ liberty for adulterating liquor. Tbe saloon Is made attractive that' men be Induced to drink. Tbe dispensary is an lnbospltable aa a barn. Tbe saloon encourages treating. The dispensary forbids It. Tbe saloon loves darkness ratber than light tor its business. The dispensary oloaea at sundown. The saloon knows -that ' the drunkard Is the best customer. Tbe dispensary refuses to sell to a drunkard. Tbe saloon shields Its customers by screenB'and painted windows and detains them by tbe goodfellowship or tbe place. The dispensary says, If you want a small quanlty of liquor make your personal application by slgdlng y6ur name on this public book, paying your money, and then take your liquor ayray. In brief, tbe saloon Is -standlnn temptation to drunkenness which few of Its patrons resist. The dispensary meets the legitimate demand but discourages tbe Illegitimate demand for liquor by the reversal of evety expedient whlcb the saloon uses for Increasing business. Reason must teach the same lesson that experience has taught, in Rwedeb, In souin uaronna, anu in norm uoruuuu mo, that the dispensary decreases drunkenness m compared with tbe saloon. We are !n favor- of decreasing drunkenness. Who Is not? ( '\ ..v m , w i HON. I. H. MCCALLA, 0 i / An Orthodox Democrat With Some Opinion of His Own. .. Hon. I. H. McCalla was In town Monday. We merely met blm on tbe street, and didn't bave a cbauce to Interview blm on tbe situation. We know, however, that be Is, on most subjects an orthodox Democrat, taking In/Bryan and tree silver. Bat wben It oomes to throwing away the Philippines be wonld register a kick. We think so, because Mr. McOalla Is a practical man wbo succeeds in business, and we oannot see how ho good a business man could wish tbe government to do so foolish and unjust a thing as deserting tbe Philippine Islands. Their valne Is not to be estimated by money, and we would about as soon expect Mr. MoCalla to be opposed to tbe Nlcarauga canal, as to be opposed to keeping the Islands. Welcome Back. Itev.

He was on a-vlslt to tbe city of Savannab wben be sent a telegraphic menage to borne folks yesterday at eleven o'clock ,tbat he was 1b trouble. His father and other member# of.tbe household were greatly distressed, and all who heard of the mattet1 were greatly shocked and deeply sympathized with both Arthur and his kindred. His people replied to tbe telegram,, asking particulars. He replied about four or five o'clock, saying that circumstances were snch that he was oompelled to shoot a man, and that he wanted bla brother to come to blm at once.* Mr.'Browa Syrian, employed W. P' Greene, Esq.> to go with blip, and at six o'clock yesterday evening they left by tbr Southern, expecting to reach Savfcan^b this morning. v , v' p .s Yesterday evening tbe AHanta Constltotlon was received, containing tbe following dispatch; ! .' , Savannah, Ga.. Oct. 1,?Peter Mantle, a prise fighter and music ball sport, was fetally shot tonight at the Royal Maslo hall in this city, A. R. Syfan Is nnaer arrest charged wltb tbe shooting. Manzle yaa lo a box wltb some women when a quarrel Arose. Mantle tried to keep Syfan out, so It Is claimed; when tbe latter drew at pistol Id tbe scuffle and Inflicted a fatal wound. Manzle Is not expected to live until morning.. v This includes all that we know of tbe lamentable affair. Tbe clronmstahce^ a peculiarly sad one. Mr. Syfan was reared Id this community, and has always been regarded As one of oar most worthy yoang men. Even U be Is not blameless In tbis sad affair, | he baa behind him a good reoord for Industry and efficiency aa an engineer. As a man be baa a good name. No young > man waa evei more oonafderate of an aged fatber, and no father ever looked more confidently to a faitbfnl aon for needed belp In tbe years of bla Infirmity. He alwaya sent a 11 beral share of bla, monthly salary to hla father. Xb a peaceable oltlzen there has never b<eii beard one word of complaint of blm. Bnt when be 'was far from borne, be may not bave been hlsac. customed self, and bence bla deep trouble. One lamentable thing about thlsaflfclr la, that be la far away from bome. among strangers. Tbey know only of this one deed.' Tbe go&l record of a whole lifetime Is not there to his credit. But be la among a people who will judge blm, not by bis real self, but will regard only tbe deed wblob has brougbt blm prominently before them. He may noi be blameleas. We cannot say that be la/or tbat be Is not. Butswe do aay, under any oIroumstanoes< It 1b a pity that the people of Savannah did > not know blm as well as do tbe people frith whom he was reared. Ot course violations of tbe law must be punished.
