Tbe Same Old Cbeatnut. Onr beloved neighbor, the Anderson Mall, generally keeps big eyes, ears and mind In the fall exercise of their respective faculties, but not until last week did tbe Mall hear of the guns that were discovered In a ooffln that was shipped to almost any old town and was burled. We have been bearing that story time out of mind. The last time, before the AndersoQ Mail's discovery, tbat we beard x this Btory, the soene was laid at Laurens, but tbe story was not aocepted here. Now, it went to Anderson, laying tbe soene of tbe gun business at Abbeville's door. When this editor was a little boy tbe con atantly recurring story or "niggers rising" tormented the little boy's mind day and nlgbt. The "niggers don't rise" any more, but coffins, funerals and guns rise up to scare Innocent minds and men wbo may nave reason to be afraid. It Is true that the race prejudice has been pretty strong about bere, but It seems that the worst Is over, and tbat good will and better feeling will take tbe place of distrust and ill feeling, Tbe whites and tbe blacks have lived together pleasantly and advantageously for many years, and we know of no reason why good feeling should not continue. It la now pretty oertaln tbat white labor oan be bad by application to Mr. Watson. And it la also reasonably certain tbat we had better hold on to the labor that we have until better labor can be bad. Tne white fields ? of ootton would Indicate a scarcity of labor. But, whether labor Is scarce or not, there la plenty of work for all to do. Sev-i'' ' DnkeH and Karita We see that Immigration Agent Watson hat about made arrangements for Bending a dip load ol ohoice immlgrrante?made up as we may Infer, chiefly of dukes and earles, or ome other eqaally ohoioe folk of foreign birth. 4: And we aee by the newspapers that house ervanta, we may assume to be cultured, accomplished and refined, are to come to work for 110 a month and board and tbat field bands may be bad at 815 a montb and board. Thla will be good news for all snob of onr fellow citizens as are tired of hiring negroes t nominal prices, to live In oablna. Cooks who are expert pianists and elegant parlor ornaments, we presume, would command 812, and tbe best room In the bouse. Our people are prosperous and are able to hire bouse servants and field bands at tbe prloee named, and tbey ought to send In tbelr applications at once. The cargo of ele gmnt women and cultivated gent emen who are coming to cook for us ana to black our boota will be quite an acquisition to society. Aa we underatand, no ordinary every day poor wblte man or white woman, as were our grandfathers and grandmothers, will be allowed to come. Only those people In foreign < lands wbo are well to do, can oome. Poor people who are seeking to better their condition need not be expected, even if tbey wisnea to oome. w? bbcu buvicij voui"" >v conduct oar affairs. fx* ? _ ji'.,. Sensitive 5I?rve?-8weet Sleep?Dellchirnl Dream*. The News and Courier, In a labored editorial, and Id seemlDg earnestness, protests against tbe ringing of church bells on Sunday mornings. Aod now oomes The Btate with a long oopled artlole protesting against the oookorowlng and dog-barking nuisance. Tbe 17ewa and Courier spoke In behalf of delicate ears and sensitive nerves. Tbe State's article bad application to the ) nightly disturbance of hard worked men whose sleep was broken by crowing fowls and barking dogs. When the race question, the Immigration problem, and the scarcity of labor bat* been settled, tben we can lie down to pleasant dreams, whether rooster's orow or dogs bark, as la their nature. * * Hisses Thomson and Townes Vlalt Abbeville. Mlas Mazle Tbomion and Miss Hattle Townej two charming young ladles lrom Middletown, JS. Y. are vlsltlog Mr. and Mrs. Tuaten. They are delighted wltb Abbeville and aa many of tbe Abbeville people as bave bad tbe pleasure of maklDg tbeli acquaintance bave experienced equal pleasure. Mlas Thomson and Miss Townes are granddaughters of Mr. Dasenberry, a life long friend of Mr. and Mrs. Tusten. In whose employ Mr. Tueteen learned bis trade when a boy some sixty years ago. Mr. Dasenberry ia still living at the ripe old age of 88 years. Mr.Tasten visited him at bla borne during the past summer and the "Prodigal" did not receive ha If so good a welcome. ?:r' Tyranny. The doctors are again urging vaccination against small pox. Between oonpulsory vaoclnatlon, compolBory education, compalsory work, oompalsory deoenoy and other Interferenoes with the oltlzen's rights, be has a hard time of It. Bat the least excusable Interference with the citizen's rights is the compulsory vaccination. The compulsory vacoli allon would be a worthy relic of the dark ages. Who would dare deny the oltlzen the right to expose himself to small pox ? In * fre? country a man should be allowed to have small pox, if be desires It. He can give .. It to Dobody who doesn't wao't it. We believe in allowing free citizens to enjoy small pox. Their having it does not interfere with others wbo provide agalnsllt. Vagranls, We see much Id tbe newspapers about different parts of tbe country being Infested with vagrants. Tbe presence of vagrant* must be a lamentable affliction to any com* munity where macb work Is to be done. As lar as our knowledge goeB, tbere Is no vagrants about Abbeville. Tbe negroes are at work and tbe wblte people bave much work to do; we believe tbere Is not an Idler la Abbeville. Tbe trouble wltb Abbeville people la to find laborers to do tbe work tbat Is needed. Tbe fields are wblte but tbe plokers are scarce. Small Pox nnd Pit Pens. Some wIseaoreB are raising a cry for tbe enforoed vaccination of tbe people against small pox, but we bave beard little about banishing tbe fever produoiog pig pods, rig pens polBon tbe air and give typhoid fever to the people In tbe vicinity. There is do vaccination against typhoid. A small pox patient can hurt nobody who has taken the necessary steps to make him self Immune, but nobody 1b safe from tbe disease and pe<> tilence that comes from tbe pig pen. The happiest man in town is Mr. F. L>. Morrow, and be has reason to be happy. His ( children are a pride and a source of pleaaare to him. Child) en's children are an old man's I crown. J ...
