Abbeville seems to be building more new dwelling houses than ever before at any one time. The number of cottages tbat have been recently built Is unknown to us. Treasurer W. T. Bradley has Just finished an elegant new home. Mr. C. D. Brown, not so long ago, fin isbed one of the nicest homes lo this part of the County. Mr. J. C. Ellis Is building a beautiful home. Dr. L. T. Hill will soon have as nloea home as anybody has In this part of the world. Dr. 8. G. Thomson h*<? a him*, which for beauty and elegance Is not to be excelled. Mr. W. A. Calvert has made a revision of whai was formerly a nice cottage. President John A. Harris has a large aod commodious home, which Bet upon a hi 11, makes a magnificent appearance. Capt. L. W. White will build a fine house on hia elegant lot, which will be an ornament bU bUC WJWU. Dr. G. A. Neuffer will erect a bome'opposlte the Graded Sohool, whicn will have all tbe modern Improvements, and all tbe desired adornments. Mrs. Graydon has enlarged ber borne nntll It Is one of tbe beet bomes In town. Miss Maggie Brooks has a fine new bouse. Cottages bave gone np everywhere. Among others wbo bave ballt is Mr. W. G. Chapman, who has Just finished two bonseB In Fort Plokens. Mr. John M. Wllklason'has finished a nice new house on Main Street. Mr. J. E.Jones is building a nice home on Main Street. Messrs. Blake and Cox bave built and are building some six or eight nice cottages. Daring tbe year cottageR bave been built near the city limits on tbe road leading to Verdery. Mr. White has built a nice cottage for rent on the same street with Mr. W. T. Bradley. Capt. L. W. White has lately built dwellings near tbe public square. Tbe faot Is, at no other time in tbe history of of Abbeville, bas so much money been put in nouaee. uroourse, we navennintenuonaiiy omitted to mention maoy. Mr. Albert Henry Is finishing a nloe house on Main 8treet, to which be may Invite some man's good looking daughter to come. Gen. Abner Perrin. The newspaper anuouncethat the remains of General Abner Perrin have been removed to Rlobmond from the battlefield at Bpottsvanla, where he was billed and burled, forty years ago. The devotion of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in honoring the distinguished dead of the Confederate army Is only equalled by the gallant old soldiers In the Lost Cause giving of their scant means to forward the noble work. While these old,, soldiers deserve, and ought to receive a pension, they are depriving themselves of needed artloles, In order to help along In perpetuating the memory of their Old omoers. To show the necessity lor monuments, with InMrlptlonB on them, It Is only necessary to state that a large per cent of tbe newspapers of this State printed the name "Abner Pickens." Think of It. In less than forty | years after his death his name Is unknown to even a majority of the editors of the State In whloh be lived, and In fighting whose battles be died. OurBobool books may not print a!l the names of the gallant Confederate dead, and the poverty of the survivors precludes the possibility of engraving their names on mar ble shafts, but a great State migbt see that at least tbe names of the Colonels and the horses are not so Boon forgotten. Let tbe Legislature give a liberal appropriation to the United Daughters of the Confederacy to help them keep alive tbe memory of tbe dead officers. Unsatisfactory Schedule. The change id me scneuuie 01 me ouuluoiu Railway 1b very unsatisfactory to the people of Abbeville. It aeemi that there has been some klDd of understanding, or agreement, to divide out tbe business of this part of tbe country between Greenville and Columbia. Tbe trains are to leave Greenwood dally In the morning lor these cities, and return at night. In tbe Bbuffle Abbeville Is left oat in tbe cold. We will get no malls, except local mails, over that road until four o'clock In the afternoon. While our people are not especially Interested in either Columbia or Charleston, yet they like to bear bow Cbarleston Is getting along raising blind tigers and otber things, that have been known to break loose in Georgia. Any attempt to force our people to trade wltb either Greenville or Columbia will likely fall. Abbeville, Hodges Depot. Greenwood, Ninety-Six, and Darraugh's Turn Out no doubt have Just as good merchant* and Just as good goods as are to be found in Greenville or Columbia. ' If our people nerd liquor they don't have to go to tbe Blind Tiger City. If Greenwood needs liquor, we presume It can be had without going to tbe ooast for It. Not so long ago Anderson raised a bowl because the name of that city did not appear on some of tbe advertising matter of that road. And now trains have been taken off the rails leading to this place. If tbe Southern will restore its trains, that road may take tbe name of Abbeville off 01 all Its advertising dodgers. "Lack of Decency la Want of Sense." Nearly fifty years ago, when this editor wat boy.be beard tbe wife of an editor give him an energetic rebuke for some words it doubtful modesty wblcb bad appeared la bib paper. Among otber things, she said sub. substantially, that a man or a newspaper, might sometimes be exoused for repeating profanity, but tbaMbe repetition of vulgarity was never Tpermlsslble?It was an offense to decency, and it waB inezousable. That under great provocation, or in anger, a man might : so far forget himself.as to use profane lan* guage, but tbat the use of vulgar language was a oold-blooded, deliberate andlwllful offense against deoency. Tbe Press and Banner repents In tbe above short paragraphs tbe lecture wblcb a ] good woman delivered to ber husband half j a century ago. It is as good today as It was then. Gentlemen should neither use vulgar ' language nor laugh when others ofier an un- . pardonable ofiense to their own sense of I decency. ' 1 < } GREAT BARGAINS ; i Still to be Hnd at Hall ,,<fc Antler son's?Style and Quality la Their Aim. For tbe past week Hall <fc Anderson have been dolDg tbeir best to give tbe publlo a great treat. If yon have visited tbelr store you will readily see bow well they succeeded. Their Cut Price Sale will always be remembered as It contained goods tbat would be recognized anywhere as the very best, < noted for their cut and style of finish, regardless of price. This Sale will be continued for a few days and every man In Abbeville ooun luge oftble sale. It simply, means the Baying of money to boy now. 11 * 4-:? 1 . . -.'if . . : I The DispciiHary. Quite a number of the newspapers in this State are making a clamor against the di6penRary. As we understand, some of them are pro hibitlonista in principle, wnue we oeueve a majority of those wbo oppose the dispensary are in favor .of, and hope for, a return to the license system. H Let a few misguided, but honest, real prohibitionists take the lead, and our Arm belief is, that a very large per cent, of the salooD KH men will follow the prohibitionists. eveD ne tc they even not so long ago. We belive that;it is w susceptible of proof that well known license g( newspapers supported that ticket when the issue of prohibition was last raised. And we believe it is equally susceptible of proof that u the advocates of the barroom system voted si the dry ticket. ^ If a few good, but misguided temperance tt men. take the lead, they can make a strong tr showing. If they can get the whiskey element J,? to follow them, as we believe they c?n. tc If these good men really desired to discour- ct age the liquor traffic la this State, they should tl attemDt a practical plan of enforcing the dls pensary law; while seeking for such changes lc In the law as might reduce tbe sale of liquor. "" 1. The dispensary should be opened later and cloned earlier In the day. 2. The price of the liquor sbon'd be raised. u The lees liquor a mao gets for his quarter the better It is for him. si .8. Tbe law as to making written appiica- " tlon for liquor should be enforced. ^ 4. Tbe law forbidding tbe drinking ol a liquor on tbe premises should be respected. If some of tbe dlspenxaries are not violating (j this law they aie said to come dangerous); a near It. n 5. The Legislature, or the officers, should provide lor the closing of a dispensary upon tbe same rule that it Is opened. If it is open- " ed on a majority vote of any community, it should be closed when a majority vote is in d: favor of closing it. p 6 Tbe city of Charleston should be made u to respect tbe law. If Governor Heyward neglects to enforoe the law, he should be asked to explain why he does not do so ^ All temperance men who know anything u about what they are talking, are obliged to r< . . ?l.. !C Know mai iuo uiopeubiirj' (jiulijuilb iuo pianof liquor after sunset and until sunrise. The w veriest fool in all tbe land know* that fl liquor, under the license system, was sold at J1 night Any man that has lived in a town ol t, any size, and was at all acquainted with what was going on, knows that prohibition means jjj free liquor. tt Another matter. When good and honest b prohibitionists know that the most pro- j nounced liquor men become their allies n against tbe dispensary, they mlgbt question their actR, and see if tbey are not allowlug ^ liquor men to make tools of tbem. When > sincere prohibitionists Join bands with tbe N license people, the comolnation is such as to excite surprise. A man is sometimes Judged j< by the company he Joins. Is it not strange ii , a prohibitionist quits the company of other ^ temperance men to enter into a compact with tl the most pronounced liquor men ? ? fc Klrnncn tnimnl. W Tbe Charleston menagerie B'ems to bnve w let some of their anlmalB escape. Our ever tl watchful police discovered a strange animal s< prowling around In tnls vicinity last week. p and after taking It In charge, and examlng it <c carefully about tbe eyei, they concluded it was a blind tiger, that bad possibly escaped c< from Charlerton. Nobody was here from Charleston to claim it, or to identify it, and It ( was treated as a proper subject for seizure and lt confiscation. Tbe Council had no use for it. w however, and having its other eye opened so J1 that the tiger oould sea its way clear to pay n S50, the money was forked over?tbe Council ui agreeing to take no further action in tbe mat- d ter, if tbe tiger would not appeal to Judge .. Slmonton to bind them over to blB Court, h The- blind tiger, in exercising its kindly offices witb Judge Slmonton, and after an e, operation on its optic nerve, its purse strings m were tightened up a little and It went on its ^ way rejoicing. Ic u WEDDING THIS EVENING. J HIm? Lois Robertson and Mr. John Alexander C'beek are to be Married A Ibis Afternoon. ,,, The bride 1b the second daughter of Col. J. w "P. Robertson of this city, and Is the first of '! his children to leave the parentlal roof to J1' set up a new home'.
