In th? history of the past our great men have made Abbeville illustrious, no matter whether in learning or in arms, and now isn't it pitiful to think that our people have been bnllding tobacco barns, or shacks in which to hold court? Even now, it is said that we bave a few men in this county who want to build a cheap court house. If a cheap court house is wanted the one which we bare is cheap nnnnch. ~ o ? If they want a court house of which Belf-reapectiug citiaena should be ashamed, we are sure that we have it uow. A good and proud farmer would be ashamed to put the old plank window shutters of our cod rt house oo the back doors of bis barn or horse stable. If we have men who wish a public building that would disgrace an Indian community in Mexico, we have it already. If we want a court hou9e that sits in the middle of the public square of little one-horse towns like Anderson and Hodges depot, we are already supplied. If we want a court house of decent build and situated on a large and suitable lot, we haven't got it. If we would put our court house on an eligible lot on a side street, and off of the public square, we must move our old tobacco barn, plank shutters and all. Abbeville onght to have a $200,000 court hou*e, but in deference to the feelings and sentiments of those who do not see as we do, we would be willing to build a $100,000 court house on a lot so large that there wonld be no possibility of fire from the neighboring house. We lost one court house, and nearly all of our valuable papers of J- I Ui <5 ? kntUtn/? recoruu ueuttuse 11 cuugut ure ixulu ? ucixuuuuujj uunuiug, The Gary lot is the best and most suitable lot which we have in mind. A street faces it on three sides. It is large enongh and near enough to the square. v Any idea that the jail ought to be next door to the court bouse is fallacious and clean out of date. The further the jail is from the court house the better. A long distance would exercise the prisoners, and give them a needed airing. Basides such exercise and airing would give the court coustables a chance to earn their pay. A lot back of Hon. W. P. Greene's home would make an elegant lot. Klugh's park would be a most splendip place for it. But why enumerate. The town is full of vacant lota. There is no good reason for tearing down any house. There is no wisdom in crowding the court house next to either a negro restaurant or the town oallaboose. There is no need for building on a small lot, when broad acres can be had for a song. It isantedeluvious to think that a town of any size should make an exhibit of its court house. The trying of negroes for petty crimes is not the chief business of this city. The court house is one house that ought not to be held out as the place of our chief industry. But it ought to be a magnificent temple whose proportions, whose architecture, and whose mechanical execution should be an example or a specimen of the best that the earth produces. Why should a great and a proud people, build or occupy a pnblic building of which self-respecting people should be ashamed ? ?f&uMS!??? is One Thing1, and Wmtlmlm Is Another. We Cannot Blame Anyone, for being Particular and Showing it?For we buy particular, ther? fore, suiting PARTICULAR PEOPLE IS OUR LONG SU/T If you are particular, then ' Shake," and let's get down to Biz.

CLINKS0ALES, Ante Mortem Oblinarj of one of the Be?t;Men lu.soalb Carolina?Ahnrd Writer for ? Century. May He Have Many Years of Best. Anderson Intelligencer, Jan.. 29, '07 The Intelligencer plant with thia is*ue passes by purchase into the hands of Mr. V. B. Cheshire. Some months ago Mr. Cheshire bought a half interest in The Intelligencer from Mr.C. C. Langston and now he has purchased the other half from Mr. J. F. Clink suaiets aj-iu uecuuue lue buib uvrunr. Tne Intelligencer will, for the present at least, be continued as a semiweekly publication. It is likely, bowever, that before tbe close of 1907 it will become adaily morning edition. It is tbe determination of Mr. Cheshire to spare neither money nor effort in keeping The Intelligencer up, not only to the high standard it has maintained during its forty-eight years of existence, but in making it so interesting in rbigh*, fresh news items that it will be indispensable to the home of every one interested in this section of th^ State. The object of Mr. J. F. Clinkscalee in selling bis interest in Tbe Intelligencer is simply to secure rest of mind and body from tbe strenuous effort* demanded by the newspaper business. For fifty three years, except four years of gallant, intrepid service in the Confederate army with Lee, especially around, Richmond, Mr. Clinkscales has been a newspaper man. It is said of him as a war Veteran that he never missed a flit bt, and it can be said ot him as a newspaper man that he has never, during his long service in the business, missed being at bis post. Mr. Cliinkscales did his first newsSaper work in 1854 in the office of Tbt outbern Bights Advocate, which was established about 1850 by citizens of Anderson who seeing, by the trend of affairs in Washington that withdrawal from the union or general government was imminent, advocated State 'Cooperation. Mr. Ibzan J. Bice was made the editor and manager of this paper, and being a relation of Mr. Cllnkscales, then a boy, induced him to go into the Advocate office and learn the business. It might be said parenthetically just here that at this same time, botween >850 and 1861, there was a newspaper being published in this city, known ae tbe Anderson Gazette, which was established by those who advocated separate State action, as opposed to State Co-operation, and Francis M. Norris, a prominent young lawyer, was tbe oHitnr. In 1859, or about that time, Colonel James A. Hoyt, then a citizen of Anderson, and up to the time of his death in Greenville a few years ago one of the purest and most patrlotio of South Carolina's sons, established the Anderson Intelligencer, Mr. Clinksoales aiding him iu getting out the first editions. When it was seen tbat hostilities could not be averted, Mr. Clinkscales was among the first to enlist and go to the front, where he served with distinction until the end came at Appomattox Court House, April 6, 1865. Returning from the war, Mr. Clinkscales once more took bis place among the force of the Anderson Intelligencer and has remained at bis post from tbat time until now, never missing a day except to visit occasionally tbe old battle grounds around Richmond during reunions of the Confederate Veterans. It should be said tbat no man has hfiPii more sincerely loved and respect ed by hi8 co-laborers in any business or profession than has Mr. Clinkscalfs. Every man in the office, from the "devil" to the editor in-chief and 0 copartner would fight for "BOSS," as the boys have always called him, quicker than for himself. And this same high esteem for Mr, Clinkscales, is;entertained by men all over this county and Slate whereever he is known. His life is blameless and has been made beautiful, even grand, by simplicity of manners, broadmindedness and thougbtfultness of the rights and feelings of others. For the present Mr. Clinkscales will remain with The Intelligencer. He has formulated no plans except to rest and visit at bis pleasure members of his family living in other Stales. m ^ T.ao# A dark brown mule with gray spot In forehead, about ten or eleven years old, lame In leg, stolen from Wllllngton.

CANNUIN Ul- UUUL?. CVo Very Ancient Oani Whose Orlgta Ifl Shrouded In Myitery. The Imperial army of Berlin has In adlitlon to its armament a field gun as oosty as It Is unique.' A cannon made of gold, -~7 mch as la possessed bv no other armory in iho world except the Hamburg museum, >|j whenoe It came, is the great show ploce lust now for the domesticated Berliner, aa well as the thousands of strangers who \ rlsit the German capital. The, outward ippearanceof the monster jewel is most lelicate In workmanship, such as is nevas ' '?$ seen In an arm of this kind. The cylinder ' 'y/r is 10 feet long and strangely beautiful in Its massive coat of burnished gold Inlaid witii aeucate ineae wor*., wuu ? immuo termed of two nude wrestlers and a cascabel In the shape of an elephant's head with in- .. \ <k eerted trunk. The handle Is In itsdlf a work ; ": :M af the highest plastic art. In harmony with the elegance of the arm proper is the gun % sarrlage, which is made of oak, inMald with , |jS reddish pear wood and richly c'lecorated ' with etched steel knobs, rosettes and other ' _ j2$g| decorative designs. Twice in the chaste uad unusually elaborate ornamentation are found the initials of the etcher, "H. EL M., 1648,7 but Ms identity has not yet been discovered. Even more remarkable1 than the costli- J3S Dees of the material of -which it is made is % the construction of the cylinder. Its like .'V^g Is not described in any handbook on v';4jB arms, and a similar arm has not been seen ' < before. The copper cylinder has a diameter of 65 millimeters, with an inner and outer mantla The filler consists of pine wood and leather. The origin of the two guns C Is an unsolved mystery, although mention of them is made in the seventeenth and . , ya ighteenth centuries. Oldenburger, in '' his "Book On Travel" (1675), and Berlenmeyer, In his "Antiquarium," speak with great enthusiasm of the '' golden cannon." According to these two sources, the guns W were taken frqxn t? iiambnrg merchant ?a ' atisfy a debt of $12,000. The style of the ; :.j|M guns would indicate that they were mads .vffifl In Holland, and tbe costliness of the work ' jurtifioe the assumption that they were 3^ made only by special order.?St. Louis X fyti Republic. - 8AINT OF THE COOK8. She Wu a Qomb of the Culinary Art and ' *Cj Wu Canonised. Few people, perhaps, knew before that 'lj oooks had a saint of their own, who, kind , lady, will doubtless in the hereafter make v]t the grilling of them as pleasant as possi- v - VM Me. Santa Zita, as she Is named, lived, it . frB appears, at Genoa and was there canonized. : She could, so runs the legend, cook better ^.

'vMi of the ohief articles in the religion of gas- ' tronomy that It is only in the baiserstadt that the "glose" is in perfection. Santa ' A Zita was, it seems, not less famous for bar piety than for cooking and was a constant } attendant at the cathedral during high | One day, however, she fell Into a trance, I so called?though, in plain TT.ngUsh, a : |g good, Bound aleep?and quite forgot thai the had to produce an exceptionally flue dinner for a large company.

She toon repented, however, and told the world the truth about the spiritual and miraculous help she had reoeived, and it was agreed on all sides that ' '-j'gll she deserved to be canonized. Aooording- 1 ly she became Santa Zita.?ffTrhange. lUokenl Sklaa. The mackerel sky comes from the same canees as all the oixrus clouds, so called from the beautiful curl their fragments "> .j?|| often assume, such as "mackerel skies," , "mares' tails" ana "caw taus." oetwr ? ologists are not agreed, as to the cause, there being two explanations. It has been suggested that these cirrus clonds are the heads of columns of vapor rising from the earth and precipitated as soon as they attain a certain elevation, rarely lass than >v,4 three miles above the earth (15,840 feet), ^ and often five or six miles (96,000 to 80,000 feet). If this be so, the visible cloud forma .Jjf! the capital of an invisible pillar'of satu- <3$ rated air. The second explanation is thai ' they are cariaed in the higher regions of the ':*aH atmosphere by the meeting of two enrrenta . . -v) v of air, of different water bearing capacity, causing them to form into parallel bands, each belt being composed of light, airy fragments, slightly altered in appearance according to a slight difference in condi- < felons under which they are formed. It has been supposed that such clouds ore composed of particles of snow. It might be added that they occur in systems, long ranks of them extending in one direction for vast distances and being occasionally crossed Dy otner systoma, uii uwjbi uuu <uhu extreme altitudes.?Boston Traveller. Firecrackers In China. Firecrackers are also used to bring rain when it is needed. They ore not exploded on scientific principles, but simply to attract the attention of Lung Wong, the rain god. If > after repeated salvos the drought continues, the deity is supposed to be asleep, and active measures are taken. The ohief officials of the distriot, dressed in mourning and followed by numerous sorrowing farmers, visit his temple. In front of the procession are carried four silken banners deooratcd with the characters representing wind, rain, thunder and light .<?& ning. These are placed in the stands near the altar and surrounded by lighted can- <j dies. Then, with much kow-towing (bow lug very low) and chin-chining (greeting;, written prayers to the rain god are burned in a sacred Are. A tremendous salute of firecrackers follows, accompanied by the % . ':S usual clashing of cymbals, beating of gongs, etc. These salvos are continued day after day until Lung Wong wakea. Sooner or later they never fall to rouse him.?New York Post. Costly Bric-a-brac.
