Mr. Park, on one side, and Mr. R. E. Cox on the other, did the bidding. The property at last wpb run up to 513,600, which was Mr. Cox's bid. By this time Mr. Park had quit bidding. Mr. S. F. Cromer bid 513,0*25, but the crier had been instructed not to cr> his bid. Then Mr. Thomaa T. Cromer bid 813,650, with no better luck. His bid was refused. The property was knocked down to Mr. Cox at 813,600. It was claimed that hall hour was too Bhort a time in which to comply . i ;with the terms of sale, and Mr. Cromer, or his attorney, were told by Mr. Cox, If they would pay by next Saturday, the amount at which 4 they bid off the property on Sale Day in August that be would not claim the bid, and that the Messrs. Cromer should have the property. And we understand this to be the situation. Neither MR Cox, nor any one else here, as far as we are Informed, wants the property ai aDy price. The owners would be glad for Mr. Cromer to take It at the price at which be bid It off In August, which bid wae some ?1,500 less than the price at which he bid It off at the first Sale some three months ago. Mr. Cox is more tban willing to let the Messrs. Cromer have It, If. they will put up tne money. Much regret 18 felt for the great loss wblob the promoters of this enterprise have bub talned. Mr. Cromer and Mr. Cox and Mr. Blake are the heaviest losers. but everj stockholder lost In proportion to the amounl of hie holdings of stock. This was a clear Bweep. Nobody made anything out of It. ant) ^ everybody lost everything he put Into It, unless he sold bis stock, In which case the buyer of tbe stock sustained a total loss, v " Why Not Dedicate Tour Homes? In no other short period have the people oi Abbeville built so many houses as tbey have built within the last year. This being a Christian community and the builders of these bouses being at tbe head ol Christian families, would it not be well for these bome-bullders to dedicate their new homes, and to renew or Increase their faith, by religious ceremonies. In all lands we believe the churcbeB, and the different organizations of even a temporal nature, dedicate their buildings by forma) religious ceremonies. As the church is bAsed nnnn thf> nnrltv the sweetness, and the happiness of the family, Is not well that the holiest of all the tem pies?the Christian home?should be dedicated to the honor and to the glory of the Giver of every good and perfect gift? It seems that If the preacher and sympathetic friends were called to assemble In any new home, beautiful and r. Impressive ceremonies would be effective for good to all. The opening of a new home would ofler the best of themes for the preacher, and on sucb occasion the hearts of those present would be susceptible to good Influences ? influence* that might redown to the glory of the Maker of us all, and which might not be without good eflect upon the lives of the participants in the ceremonies. Then, dedicate your homes by religious exercises. "D. V."?What Does It Mean T The Associate Reformed Presbyterian ol last week said: "Not every time one writes 'D. V.' Is be willing to submit to God's plans and purposes." We never see ,-D. V.," nor hear it spoken, that we do not think of a little circumstance that happened during the war. It was, we believe, In a notice by John R. Wilson In the Presbyterian, where the letters "D. V." occurred. When the PresbyterlaD containing It was received In camp some one read the notice while standing around the camp Are. The question arose as to the mean lng of "D. V." The first man answered promptly and said the letters stood foi "Donaldsville." From this opinion or assertion another soldier differed. He said the; stood for "Due West." Whether the letter# "D. V." stood for Don aldvllle or Due West matters not, but there can be no doubt as to the propriety or impropriety ol a man doing so foolish or preBump tlous a thine as using them at all. moving: the Shops. Whenever a brakeman or other person on the Seaboard has a grievance, or whenever an enemy of the town would do it injury that old story about the removal of the railroad ehpp8 is revived. We are informed that a gentleman In town cot so long ago, was In doubt to the truth as faulty of these reports. And that he wrote to high authortly for an expression of opinion. Tbe officer wrote back that the shops wou Id not be moved and that the Abbeville man might go ahead and build hiB house. While speaking along thlB line, we would say that if anybody doesn't like the town, that be ought to pick himself up and go elsewhere.

THE FURNITURE FACTORY. ? 9 Good Citizens Sustains fceavy Lomh in the Enterprise. Mr. John A. Harris, receiver, sold the furniture factory lost Monday. Considerable Interest was felt in the result. and quite a number or citizens assembled in front of the Court House to wltnesB the bidding. The property was offered at twelve o'clock, and again bid off by the Messrs. Cromer. This time it was knocked down at 814,600. The advertised terms of sale, required the purchaser to settle In half an hour. Mr. Cromer failed to comply with his bid, and the receiver ruleu that the property had not been sold, and that It should be offered again. The Messrs. Cromer or their attorney, I More Wwter. Like the man with fever who cried wati for water six long weeks in the mouth August, some of the people would like to h;n more water for tire protection. If it were praollcal to make the arrant ment would It not be well to take into co sideratlon the joiniug of the water maius the city with the pump at the cotton mi The cotton mill has an Inexhaustible supp of water, and that Institution has a powerf pump that could in case of Are and a scarcl of water Bend the water from the m to the utter most limits of the mains. Of course for domestic uses the well, wells, furnish an abundance of the best ai purest water, but in case of a great tirotl advantage of having recourse to an ine: haustlble supply of water might be of inest mable value in savlug property. But we would enjoin upon our people tt necessity for keeping the fact of any '1 creased supply of water from the insuran companies.

A. ye or two later, when the Medium office w moved from the next room, and the door w bricked up, the insurance men came arout again and still further increased the rate. For these reasons It might not be well Inform the insurance companies that tl town bas more water, or has in any other wa reduced the fire risk. We have almost come to the conclusU tbat the insurance people are not much up < the subject of fire risks. The history of th town would show that a Ereat number of tl best houses?of brick and wood?have be< destroyed by fire, while, without a sing exception, the old shacks, or such bulldlDi as were regarded extra hazardous, are all standing, or stood until they were to: down. Except In case of proximity It would seei to us one house is as likely to burn i another. No house will burn that does w catch on fire, and any house will burn It fii breaks out in it. As an original propositlc a brick bouse is little more safe from fi; tban a wooden building, except that a brlc house is not bo likely to catch on fire from near by burning building. The insurance rate in the old line oon panies is very high, and the Abbevlil Greenwood mutual has sueh by-laws i preclude the company irom taking any risl where there is any chance for the fire cor panies to save a building. The Abbevlil Greenwood Insurance Company only tak tbe hazardous risks which are generally r fused by the old line companies, and the o line companies take the safer and bett risks at a high rate of insurance. If tl insurance companies should find out tb K Kknnlllft Ho/1 moHa ctlll hottar nrAtrloU against Are, Judging from our own expei ence, tbelr rates might be raisedtoaflgu wblcti would be prohibitive.
