Being a public spirited and having a surplus of tbe t article tbat la said to make tbe mare go, be b set us an example In good works by taking stock In an Ice plant and laundry for Abbe- \ vllle. While few or none of us bad money i ' to see his ante," yet our people Invested a i share of their surplus In Mr. Beasley's enter- ( prise. In due time tbe lot was bought, tbe i house was made In order, and tbe machinery ( was placed. Tbe nicest laundry tbat ever , pleased the eye of fastidious maiden or won ( the gratitude of old bachelors tbat had been ( """finer krlnkled shirts and ugly ouffs and i collars were being turned out from the new j plaut. In a little while the coldest loe that was ever made from the purest water was being delivered at our doors for the favor of a song or for the f>rlce of the smallest coin of the realm, as it might suit the pur* chaser to give. With the nicest of laundry lovers pride themselves In being arrryed, not In purple and fine linen, but In Immaculate e hlrtfronts, cufls and collars. It the man who Invented sleep was to be blessed, then the man who Invented ice should have the highest seat among the company of the blessed. During the heated term, with Ice at our doors, and with the purest water In the spigot, no man need thirst for the cooling drink of the beverage "prepared by God himself to nourish and Invigorate his creatures and to beautify hl6 footstool." We wouldn't give a dime lor all the ice that clogs the axle upon which this old earth revolves. Our loe ' * ?J ?%?*% tir>a from the la comer auu. ueuu tuau ,vv ..? ? Arotlc regions. After a man has used Abbeville Ice, be wouldn't use blocks of ice from the Arotlc reigon for any otber purpose than to warm bis feet. It Is recorded in some of the old books, of which you may have a copy, that a certain rich man, after leaving this earth, called back for a drop of water with which to wet bis parched tongue. If be had known of our Ice plant he would simply have oalled to somebody to throw him a chunk In this establishment the work runs like clock work, but with never a tick. They don't pretend to deliver ice and laundry on tick. They have a man employed all the time to receive orders, and nobody ever bothers him about mistakes and irregularities. It takeB up most of his spare time In hearing compliments for nice laundry and accommodating delivery men of Ice and laundry. I The Ice and laundry plant Is just the best i thing that Abbeville ever uad, and If you are i not getting the best Ice that ever slaked an \ angel's thirst or washed the dust down a ! masculine throat, then you have missed < something. I The Abbeville Ice plant Is no little one j horse affair, whose benefactions are limited r. ttinio whn we?r clothes, or drink Ice water | It goes further. After keeping the people a* t oool as a cucumber In summer, they propose j to keep sinners as warm as a toast In winter, t While this plant does not Intend to give ain- j ners a foretaste of the flerv furnace to whlob some of us are hastening, and while It does not expect to give any body a good warm ^ eat on {the stove In the torrid , zone yet t Abbeville's loe andjlaundry plant| has added , a beating department to tbeir plant, which Is t Intended to be a benefaotlon to the world and t all manfcind hereabout. They Intend to sell j the coldest coal that will make the hottest f fire at the least cost. They don't exactly t give It away, but lhelr politeness and accomo- t dating disposition give the customer the Q greatest pleasure m parting with his Q money. The beaming eye may warm and t cheer our hearts at any season of the year, t OQt 11 UlKUa CUHl 1U LUC OhUTO lu mum uui J feet In winter. { Mr. |J. P.

He will give men and women tbe nicest laundry every day In the j year. He will keep us straight and comfor- j table every day In the week. We have only f to go to church on Sunday, when our happiness will be complete on earth, and our hopes of getting a corner lot In the celestial city will not be disappointed. Mr. Williamson Is not exactly a preacher, but he knows t how to do us good, and he knows tbe kind ot P raiment that brings us next to godliness. fl b b Which 1h the Greater * There Is a legend to the effect that seers gl were sent to watch for omens that should t; settle a dispute between tbe founders of the 0 olty that was established upon the Palatine hill. One seer saw a small number of birds 0 ailing through the air. A little later the ; other seer came In having observed a larger | number. The question then arose as to whose vision should govern, tbe man who tl saw first the smaller number, or tbe man b who later saw a greater number. We are a UUW lu HUUUt kUO DttLUO piCUltaLUCUl 1U ft giving judgment aB to who deserves the w greater honor for the ootton bloom, Mr. 8. F. t] Nance of Abbeville or Mr. Drayton Nance of Due West. Mr. S. F. Nance brought his ootton bloom on Thursday and Mr. Drayton Nance brought his In on Saturday. At first w It might be thought that the Abbeville farm- u er had won, but when you take it into con- tl lderatlon that Mr. 8. F. Nance lives nearer xi the central system around which revolve all & things terrestrial, it may be that there exists w a doubt. Due West Is one of the smaller 01 planets and of course It need not be expeoted n< that agriculture In tbat part of the solar n< system would prosper as well as It, xi would nearer the central sun. Another te thing, Mr. 8. F. Nance's cotton bloom waB el red, while Mr. Drayton Nance's was perfectly tb white, and nearly as large as a "merry widows hat." At this season, we believe, white pi Is the popular shade with peek-a-boo ac a; companlments. Mr. Drayton Nance's bloom was defiolent on peek-a-boo accompaniments. It had on nothing of the peek-a-boo pattern Wl bat it sported ears like those of an elephant. ou in Xo Flirting; Allowed. 8a pi The stall'surgeons of the Grady hospital In Atlanta have resigned because the board did w not allow tbe physicians to ' converse with the trained nurses." The nnrses being pretty ^ and attractive, the board undertook to provide against flirting with the girls. Tbe aD physicians did right, They ought to have resigned tbe minute the board attempted to 1 top their right to flirt with pretty girls. Tbe D0 papers do not state If the girls resigned. We do not know it tney object to making tbe lhl hospital a coun nouBe. < "' wt ou Looking for Him.

Many newspapers and many politicians are >w vociferously calling upon the white pec- kl e to register, and the Abbeville Press H id Banner thinks their call should be tt ?eded. No man who does not now renew his la glstration ticket can vote in the coming se ectloas. The citizen who forfeits his right b i vote by /ailing to register lacks something ti r havlnc full f?lt.l7ftnnhln. h It you expect to take part in the coming b lectlens you might just as well heed this tl all. The books will be opened during the a lonths of July and August for the purpose n 1'Issuing new registration tickets to all who bi re entitled to tbem. Let no man neglect to see that his name Is u n a Democratic club roll. Those who neg- E set that duty cannot vote In the primary. a Of course we all know that a nomination d >y a primary Is equivalent to election and we t ,11 know that tbe rules require the enrol- I nent of the name of every Democrat on s ome club roll before he can vote. 1 It is our duty to be possessed of tbe right to e rote at the general elections in .November. i Vnd it Is our duty to vote at that election. ' rue Republicans from one cause or another c )ften seem anxious to reduoe southern repietentatlon In congress, and they never fail to > jlte the smallness of the election returns as < 3ne of the reasons to Justify their course. In < sase the two houges should be nearly equally I divided the Republicans might find it neces- 1 sary to knock us out of part of our Influence < In national affairs. 1 Don't depend on the candidates to work up < sentiment that would prompt you to register ] In that case be would not be particularly interested in getting your ticket,'and then the 1 other fellow may forget you. Tbe books will be open during July and AuguBt. Better look out. Soldier Pardoned. SirReferring to your communications to tbe War Department concerning the case of Fred Rlggs, a private of the Signal Corps, who surrendered at Fort Ogletbrope, Georgia as a deserter, I have the honor to advise you tbat after careful consideration of tbe facts, and of tbe requests of yourself and many persons at Central, South Carolina, that the soldier might be returned to duty and given an opportunity to rehabilitate himself, he bas been released from confinement and restored to duty without trial. * Very respectfully, TSlgned) R. D. Potts, Brigadier General, U. S. Army, Commanding. This is one of many Instances of desertion trom tbe Regular army service. Scarcely a month passes tbat Representative Aiken ii not appealed to to intercede with the War Department to lighten the punishment of some soldier who has deserted. While service In the army ordinarily Is not hard tbe discipline is strict. Experience in the service U oftnn valnnhln to vonnir mnn who have no systimatlc plans ior life; and examples are frequent where mob young men have been retained from the bad by this discipline. Bat If a young man makes up bis mind to Ignore authority, he had better stay out ol Uncle Sam's service. Improving Stores. Away back In 1358 a large part of the southwestern side of the square was burned. All the buildings were of wood. Robert White ind C. H. Allen bought that part of the lot now known as White's block. They .graded the ground and built the stores which stand there today. At that time the block was re yarded as far ahead of the time, and everybody In Abbeville was proud of having Buch Ine stores. Mr. B. K. Beacham has the oontraot for ;aking out the brick front of one or more ol :Uese stores. Work waB commenced last Monday, and it will be only a short time un.11 the old shutters and brick pillars will give jlace to iron and plate glass. Tbe Seaboard Air Line kaowi a good thing vhether it sees it or not. That CompaDy la laullng to the Northern markets great train oads of the choicest Elberta peaches from be State of Georgia, which peaches should l&ve been grown in the State of South Carolina. To preserve these peaches from injury rom tbe hot wealber as the trains pasB brough North Carolina, tbe authorities of he S. A. L. surround, or cover, or put in ilose proximity to the peaches great blocks if the coldest ice. That ice, of oourse, is to >e bad at tbe Abbeville ice plant.

It is not right to attribute g ad motive to anybody. It Is right and p ionorablefor any man tollve so as to seek t he approval of his neighbors. It is not right 0 }r a newspaper to praise one candidate while ? aeklDg to injure another. When we do a be best we can It Is hard to have our short ^ omlngB excused. j.

The Charleston Post says "those who ould have tbe government in the hands of ie Democratic party should support tb<> ' cket that will be nominated at Denver.'' hat is a safe proposition. All men :in the juth will vote for the nominee at Denver, v hether they want William Billy defeated * elected, aa the case may be. It matters itbing whether we tnrow up our bata or E )t. The Southern votes will go for Bryan, ie trouble is, to get enough Northern, Kasrn, and Western men to vote with us to ' ect anybody.

KrakideOoHeicii. I Rev. J. S. Moffatt. D. D.. president of Res-' I Ine College, was In town one day last weefc. | e la delighted with tbe past prosperity of le College and Is very bopetul for a still, irger attendance upon tbe classes of next! isston. He was too modest to take oredlt to! ImBelf for tbe existing prosperous condl-1 on ol tbe College, but at tbe same time be ad a good way of Impressing one with tbe ellef tbat Ersklne was a good college wblcb ie people are more thoroughly appreciating, s Is evidenced by tbe greatly Increased umbers of students In tbe classes of tbe ohoJastlo year which has Just closed. In the Increased number of students a de. and bas arisen for more dormitories and reater accommodations for both professors nd students. To answer tbls demand Presllent Moffatt bas under consideration tbe tuylng of the homestead whereon tbe late )r. W. M. Grler lived. The lot comprises ome four or fire acres, aod 1b conveniently ocated to tbe College. Tbe dwelling with lome additions, would be an excellent home or tbe president, and new dormitories could >e built upon tte lot In which to provide luarters for students. Tbe suggestion of Dr. Moffatt leemi to be a Host excellent one, and some good friends of :he College bave already been consulted, all >f wbom, as far as we bave beard, approve of tbe pian outlined by Dr. MofTatt, and some friends of the institution have Indicated desided pleasure at the enlargement of the fasilltles for giving Ersbine even better nccommodatlons than it has had in the past. Tbe Doctor is a man of excellent executive ability and bis energy and tact will bring tbe largest measure of success to tbe oldest as well as one of tbe best colleges in the country. Its fame having gone abroad students come from many States to Bhare with South Carolina students tbe benefit of the literary training. Tbe moral atmosphere of tbe place has been a benediction to many of tbe best men in all the South. Tbe elevating Influence 01 pious and learned teachers has made a lasting impress upon the mlndB and hearts of those young men who bave sought for tbe higher attainments, ^blle tbe purity and tbe holiness of tbe people of tbe place bave had a restraining influence on any who may bave fell Inclined to go into devious ways. In Erskine the students are inspired with tbe ambition to seek the higher and the better walks, while the cIbsb rooms fit tbem for all the important duties and responsibilities of the best oltlzenshlp. In tbe.-.professors they have examples In purity and holiness of llv* log tbat Is worthy of all emulation. This editor, epeaklDg for himself, Is Id hearty sympathy with President Mofiatt'i proposition to secnre for the College the homestead of which he speaks. I know that 1U value to the Interests of the College will be great, and we have lo doubt that a people who can afford to send $10,000 to build a school bouse for strangers In Mexico, will respond liberally to the need for money that will benefit the College In which nearly all the educated men In the A. K. P. Church have received their literary training. It was suggested to Dr. Moflatt that the President of Ersklne should also be the Presllentof the Female College?the location of the lot which he proposes to buy Is about equal distance lrom the Colleges. But be did not take enthusiastically to the Idea of having the same man at the bead of both Colleges. He was non-committal and from tbat fact It might be Inferred that he thought one College is about enough for one man to Lake under hi* care. To the suggestion .hat the pay of the president and the prolessors should be $2,000 to 82,500 a year, with lervlces be was dumb again. If higher salirles were paid lor professors and president, t Is thought by some that this fact would urnlsh Incentive for other A. R. P.'s to make bemselves competent to fill vacancies that night occur In tbe faculty. He didn't pay much attention to that suggestion, either, ais mind Beemed to be wandering when anyhlng elfe than the Improvement of Erskine van suggested, but be had a fixed purpose in bis part to advocate tbe needed things hat might be required to raise Erskine to itl 11 better or still higher standards of serrioe or usefulness to the oburcb. The church vill no doubt take kindly to tbe Doctor's mggestlon which is a wise one. Tbe move Orward, which be proposes, Is necessary to ,he best results from this splendid College. I bave some suggestions for the Improvenent of tbe management of tbe Due West 'emale College which were not urged upon be Doctor, but wblcb suggestions may revive my earnest attention later on. At tbe uggertlon of a friend I bkve omitted from uy booklet now In press, tbe chapter on that nstltutlon. I think I can write a readable irticle on Female Colleges, even if I should ie unable to open tbe eyes of my readers. Wishing Dr. MofTatt great success in bis mdertaklng, I would ask him If bis energy nd bis good Judgment could not Include i :lndly officers looking toward relieving poor Ittle mission churches of the heavy burden rblob Synod has been laying upon our i houlders for the benefit of missions. It Is roverblal that an endowed congregation bat gets its preachlDg and lis religion free i f expense Is sure to disintegrate. Tbe rrlterof this sees no Justification in Synod's i ssessing poor Utile mission churches at ; ome In order that Mezloans may luxuriate ( a the money so taken from us In tbe name f religion. What say you Doctor?

It is certain that there will be one vacancy, and perhaps two, In tbe naval academy at Annapolis to be filled from tbls district during lhe present year. Preliminary esamlna Uodb, for the selection of candidates, will likely be held In September. As soon as Congressman Aiken 1b definitely informed as to the number of vacancies formal notice of the preliminary examinations will be published Ibrougbout tbe Third District. It Is hoped that this notloe, far In advance, will result In a fuller class of applicants, who with a specific purpose in view, may matte better preparation than has characterised former classes. It Is astonishing that so few boys covet this opportunity for the best education at tbe expense of tbe public; and it Is Btlll more astonishing that tbe few who do stand tbe examinations exhibit such Inferior scholarship. It is rare that any applicant's papers grade over 70 out of a possible i00 average. Tbe wonder grows when it is recalled tbat the great majority of tbe boys who stand these examinations are fresh from college wallB. Similar complaint comes up from all the other districts of tbe State. It may seriously be ashed, is there defect in tbe thoroughness of tbe college training of tbe State? Not only has Congressman Aiken had great difficulty in getting bis appointees to pass tbe entrance examination, he has bad several to fall down on examination after having been therefor quite a while. Now wbat Is said here is in all kindness and with the purpose of reflecting on none, but with the hope tbat would-be applicants may realize tbat to secure and sustain a position ?.n either tbe National, Naval or Military Academy application to study is necer9ary. A thorough education is oflered if tbe young man makes up blB mind that be 1b going down after it. If be 1b not going to do this, failure is assured from tbe beginning. /The annual allowance for a student at Annapolis is something like JS00. After graduation his salary Is-something like 81500 during Lbe few years of necessary service in tbe navy, with lleve to continue In tbe service or retire to private life as be may elect. Tbe position offers a great opportunity to young men and it is hoped tbat would be applicants tvlll guage their efforts by tbe magnitude of ;he opportunity, ?
