Award of Sewerage Contract.
The Sewerage Comissioners on Saturday
the 12th Inst., awarded the contract'for tb<
construction ol the system of sewerage to Mr
Frederick Mlnshall of this city.
Bids lor the construction of the work wen
advertised for to be opeaed on the 10th, anc
alter canvassing tbe bids it was found tba
the appropriation for the work would no
meet the work laid out,and all bids were re
jected on that date, and on the 12th tbe Boarc
gave tbe work to Mr. Mlnshall.after making
some changes in tbe plans.
Mr. Mlnshall is now engaged in getting
ready to start the work, and by the first of th<
coming week will have tbe construction un
der way, it being his intention to make t
start about Wednesday or Thursday of thii
week. All material for the work has beer
ordered and muoh of it Is on the way now
Mr. Minshall's Superintendant and ChleJ
Engineer, Mr. Ed. Hawes, is now on tht
ground and within a day or bo verything will
be in full blast, and it Is the expectation oi
Mr. Mlnshall to have the work completed
within three months, no that the opportunity
will be afforded all to make their connection
to the system of sewers before the.' Fall weather
begins.
The work, as outlined, will cover the entire
oitvand we think that the city Is fortunate in
getting such a large amount of work done for
tbe money appropriated, wben It Is considered
tbat Anderson's 12 miles cost her about
$45,000, Newberry's bIx miles cost about 828,000
wblle the eight miles here will cost only
about 920,000, and Mr. Mlnshall also built
eleven miles of sewers and built two sewage
disposal plants at Greenwood for 830,000.
These faots Indicate tbat tbe city Is fortunate
In securing the services of Mr. Mlnshall In
tbe preparation of the plans and specifications
and In the work of construction of the
work complete as well. He has performed
considerable work In this State, all of whiob
has been most satisfactory, and he has also
been engaged in almost every state east of tbe
Mississippi River, in municipal works of va'
rlous kinds, and for these reasons the success
of tbe enterprise is assured.
A great many of tbe people here are anxious
that the work be completed as early as
possible, In order tbat they might make tbe
connections to the sewers and have the
plumbing completed In their residences be
lore me winter sew id, ana irom iue auuviij
dlaplayod thus far, It would seem that the
work will be completed at an early date.
The Peoples Savings Bank.
The Peoples Saving Bank Is now open and
ready for business. The ofllce Is on the oor"
ner where Mr. Jones F. Miller did business
for many years. A wonderful change has
been wrought In the building, and It has
been so arranged and beautified that It Is admirably
fitted for the purpose of a bank.
The officers, with ready cfish, are ready to
serve the public to whatever may be needed
In the line of greenbacks.
The capital stock Is to be $25,000, a large part
of whloh has already been paid In. Dr. S. G.
Thomson Is President. Mr. R. E. Cox Is
Cashier.
And so It Is, that Abbeville has one more
anterrtrlse to be numbered amooz those al
ready established. The banks are not fighting
eaoh other, bnt each one for Itself Is seeking
pnbllo favor, and the business of the
community will prove the neoeBsity for having
three banks.
Additional Wareroom.
Mr. Blake and Captain Lyon, President aDd
Business Manager ot the Abbeville Warehouse,
are busy adding another section to the
structure, which will Include two rooms 40x
100 feet.
The people as they become better acquainted
with the advantages of a warehouse are
using It more and more.
Wholesale Grocery Business.
Messrs. A. W. A John Calhoun have opeued
a wholesale grocery business at the Abbeville
Warehouse, and In this way a need of the
town has been supplied. They occupy a
room at the warehouse, where the greatest
quantities of goods are kept for sale and delivered
on the shortest notice. And so it Is
, Abbeville grows.
The Verb and the Preposition.
English is said to be one of the most
difficult languages in the world for a
foreigner to learn. The verb and prepositions
are particularly puzzling. A
professor in Columbia School of Mines
tells of the trouble of a Frenchman
with the verb " to break."
" I begin to understand your language
better," said my French friend,
M. De Beauvoir, to me, "but your
verbs trouble me still. You mix them
up so with prepositions."
"I saw your friend, Mrs. Berky,
just now," he continues. " She say9
she intends to break down her school
earlier than usual. Am I right there?"
" Break up her school, she must have
said."
" Oh, yes; I remember; break up her
school."
41 Why does she do that?" I asked.
" .Because ner neaun is oroKen inio."
"Broken down."
" Broken down? Oh, yes. And, indeed,
since fever has broken up in her
town?"
" Broken out."
" She thinks she will leave it for a
few weeks."
44 Will she leave her bouse alone?"
44No; she is afraid it will be broken
?broken?how do I say that?"?
44 Broken into."
44 Certainly ; it is what I meant tc
Bay."
44 Is her son to be married soon?"
44 No; that engagement is brokenbroken?"
"Broken off."
it Vno hrnlrnrt nfF 71
uAh, I bad not beard that!"
" She is very sorry about it. Hei
son only broke thenewp down to hei
last week. Am I right? I am anxious
to speak English well."
" He merely broke the news; nc
preposition this time."
" It is hard to understand. Tha
young man, her son,t is a fine younj
fellow?a breaker, I think?"
" A broker and a fine fellow. Good
day!"
So much for the verb " break."Philadelphia
