thai at least some men who ura out of the ^
church are afraid to take the ommunloo un
worthily. The penalty for so doing Is great, ^
while there Is no specific curse pronounced
upon a inan for not partaking of the Lord's yc
supper. A man outside the church may be
as conscientious as the one In the church,
and that conscientiousness on his part may
prevent his assuming the risk of taking the ?v
communion unworthily. This editor takes
no stock In pleading the short comings ol flr
others as an excuse ?o stay away ln
from the communion. w'
If the rules are applt-d strictly there are at
few of as who are blameless in our thoughts, p
and ln our actions. And unless a man thinks

may be better for hlin uoi to take the risk.
No matter how sincere tbe effort to live as

tbe evil that la In tbe hearts of others will eDable
them to see faults Id us. "Though thou or
be as chaste as Ice and as pure as snow, thou
err
abalt not escape calumny." What seems to
ns as wrong In others, may not do violence
to their consciences. In religion end In morals
w e cannot excel along all the lines, but
as a rale, we are so to speak, specialists. For
Instance One man, posslblv in the pulpit,
m ay disregard the command not to take upon
his lips the name of the Creator, except
In reverential awe. He may make a football 8U
mi
or plaything of the sacred name, oy uamg u
anywhere from ha|f dozen times to fifty "
times In one half honr. This habit usually 8U
characterizes the conduct of so called evange
1 lets and pastors who neither study nor write ??
their sermons. Another man, possibly In k
the pulpit, or among the high officers of the De
church,may be scrupulously carelul along W<
the lines of violating the command against *B
the irreverent use of the Name, but he may c
be careless In the matter of paying his debts. e j
In trade or In business affairs a good brother
may not quite understand the rules of fair ^
dealing as between himself and others. In .

That the best men ln the world are ln the *

there are among them plenty 0/ wolves ln e
sheep's clothing Is a self evident fact. If ln '
the church tbo sheep and the goats were
separated, the sheep pasture would have grazing

be erected by the city and we have no doubt
that the people of the city as a whole are will"
ing to lhcur the cost, even as It would be
willing for Individuals to assume the expense
For this reason, we have no doubt that the
city will gladly assist all such patriotic citizens
as may be willing to begin the work.
By co-operation of the city with Individuals,
good and attractive fountains may be assured.
The city of Abbeville Is moving for*
ward on higher and broader planes than ever
before, and the city needs fountains that will
be In keeping with tbe Court house, the City
ball, the monument, and tbe beauty of the
park Itself.
Excepting the monument, the fountains
| will be by tar the most conspicuous attraction!
In tbe park, and as a consequence they
should be of the most attractive make ol
their kind. Everybody loves a fountain ,and
tbe eye never tires of flowing water.
For all time tbe temple ot love ma been as(
soelated wltb flowing waters, and tbe deef
enticing shade, where "The strong, the brave
the virtuous, and the wise link into toft captivity
together.
r In olden times men worshipped lu tbe for
est* beneath the shade of giant oaks, and
beside babbling brooks devout worshlpperi
( knelt and looked from nature up to nalure't
( god, as they uttered their orisons to tb<
( Giver of every good and perfeot gift. And nc
degree of civilization or culture has yet beer
able to separate us from the love of those our
. torns which we-e held in high esteem in tb<
t primeval days. We may not now boast o
tbe waving cane and tbe magnlfloent oaki
t that kissed tbe aky In days that made tbli
section historic, but we may have wltb a> tbi
. green grass, tbe modest violet, lbs swee
blooming dusd, rrom an or wmcD may asoenc
to heaven on every breere the sweetem In
cense. We may not bave id our parte tb<

the eye wblle making moiody to nooihe the
wearied ear. We may not bave In oar part

other reasons, let us hav ae best fountain!
that may be wltbin oar .eaob.
Because of these facts the fountains should
be tbe most ornamental that we can afford tc
bay. JTbey should be like the court house
and the olty hall, so far ahead of tbe tlme<
that the cblldren of this generation would
pass them still fur tber on down tbe line. We
bave had cheap things, and we have neglect
ed to beautify our publlo grounds long
enough. Now, when we are getting splendid
publlo buildings tbe fountains and parti
should come up to what may be tbe require
mentsoftbe people for many years yet tc
oome. A11 Donor to the Individuals who are
willing to assume personal expense, and all
honor to the City Connoll for giving the required
improvements. The City Council
oould not now afford to "fall down" on the
finishing touohe*.
While we think the erection ol the fountains
is properly the work of the olty yet we
love to see their generosity In allowing Individuals
the opportunity to give substantial
evldenoe of their patriotism.
The improvement of the park is not an individual
enterprise; it is not wbolly a olty
enterprise; for the property in fact belongs to
the county, and there is not a man within

That liberality and wlBdom wbloh tbe counoil
baa shown In bnlldlng up and beautifying
tbe city may be depended upon to assume
the entire expense of tbe park wltbont asking
aid of tbe county or Individual* of tbe
olty.
P. 8. After more mature deliberation we
would like to know wby any fountain at all
bould be put in tbe park. Tbe proper place
for a magnlfloent fountain, oostiug, say,
$2,500, it seems to ns, is In tbe grounds fronting
tbe Court bonie and City ball. We learn
however, tbat private individuals are contemplating
tbe purchase of two magnlfloent

Senator Gary at Home.
Senator F. B. Gary came home last Satur
day and remained in town until yesterday,When
asked about our 575,000 postoffloe, be
assured us tbat be had no doubt of tbe bill
golDg through tbe Senate. Members of tbe
Committee at bis request carefully Included
Abbeville among the towns to get a postoffloe.
We asked him If bis brother Senators In
Washington looked for bis "tug" when he

the klndnoss and consideration that any on
could wlab. Some of the distinguished Senators
bad sought blm and lntroduosd themselves,
and some of that number were very
kind in tbeir expressions of a desire to render
any needed assistanse, if in tbeir power. He
feels, tbat tbe President of tbe Senate ha?
been as oourteoas to blm as he baa been to
any one.
On the whole It seemed to ns tbat Mr. Gary
was delighted with tbe position, and we
formed tbe oonoluslon on our own aooount,
that he wouldn't mind staying in Washington
for years to come.
When asked what he thought of the dispensary
commission and Judge Prltobard, be
said tbat be thought It unfortunate that tbe
oommlsslon, Instead of going on a bunt for
grafters, had not proceeded at once to tbe
settlement of tbe Just claims against tbe
State. He would express no opinion as to
the possible deolslon of the Federal Court,
though he did think tbat it might be de?
ferred lor a year or two. He doubts very
much if any grafter will be punlsbed, though
he dlstlnotly disavowed Intention to orltlclse
or to refieot upon anybody for any effort to
punish grafters.
This editor ventured to io;gest that it was
a notorious faot tbat there was talk for years
of graft; that tbe State paid no attention to
tbe talk of graft; tbat tbe State paid high
prloe for liquor and then sold it to tbe people
at a correspondingly higher price, and
that tbe State was a party to tbe fraud by
having two agents. One agent paid the excessive
prloes. Tbe other agent added profits,
sold It to tbe people and made money on tbe
alleged graft.
It was not right to refuse to pay any prloe
agreed upon after having acoepted tbe liquor
and after having sold it to us at the Increased
price beoause of the graft. Tbe expense of
tbe litigation up to this time hua been estimated
by others at about 950,000.
Fonutalns.
Our advise baa not been sought on tbe subject
of fountains. We have not lain awake
niorhtii ndvinir the matter, but. off-band, we
would prefer to have one elegant fountain In
front of the court bouse and city ball tban to
bave balf duren leakj dinner pots on posts
cattared around '.be square.
SOME FACTS ABOUT FATS.
In a recent Issue of the Chicago "Tribune,"
attention is called to the large Quantity of
Cotton Seed Oil (amounting in value to over
113,000,000) exported eacb year to Italy and
otber southern European countries. Investigation
shor-s that it is there mixed with olive
oil and returned to this country as genuine
olive oil?and experts cannot detect any
difference.
As a matter of fact, Cotton Seed Oil is quite 1
as palatable and wbolesome as Olive Oil. and 1
this fact has been recognized by The N. K. j
Falrbank Company, Chicago, in the manufac- <
ture of their famous cooking fat?COTTO- ]
LENE. As the name implies, COT^OLENE
is made from Cotton Seed Oil, and jt is not
only purer and far more healthful t?n lard*
but more economical as well.. '8
