"Say not tbou, what li the oause that the for
rotr days were better than tbest? For tboa
dost not enquire wisely concerning this". m
Judge Hudson was the orator of the day i '
last Thursday at the laying of tbe Comer
Stones of Ihe'New Court House and tbe City, I
Hall. Hln address was delivered In tbe Court
room wblcb could seat only a fraction of
the multitude who bad come to do bouor to
tbe occasion,
Everybody honors Judge Hudson both for ?
bis good bend and his good heart. He has
now reached bls77ib year, and after a useful
and good life for all this time he is entitled '
to tbe highest regard from all tbe people. ^
We did not bear bla speech, but we learn
tbat from an old man's standpoint It was
perfectly orthodox and, we know that be waB
perfectly sincere In all tbat be said.
But lrom tbe standpoint of a citizen of
ibis KsaeraUoa we would dissent from y
some things tbat be said, or least would
lead ua to believe. He tbougbt the former I
days were better than these and tbat the
men of former times were better than tbe '
men of today. j
It is true, while exalting tbe men of former
times, tbat be patronized us a little and
would give ns a cheering word in hope that '
we might at leaBt become good and useful |t
citizens. '
Judge Hudson followed very much along j
the lines that bad been blazed out by nearly
all the speakers w ho have come from a dis- C
tance to addrern us. He eulogized the great
men that Abbeville produced In the dim
past, generally beginning with Calhoun and j
eomlng down the string until the names of
all of our distinguished and honored kins- j
men were added to the tall of the kite.
Speeehes In eulogy of our distinguished 1
and beloved dead are greatly enjoyed for,
say, fifty or sixty times, but after that we do j
not listen with so much zest: When we have j
beard such speeches for a hundred times
they beoome long haired chestnuts. f
ThlBtdllor belongs to that variety of men
wbo do not believe that the former times
were better than these, nor do we believe .
that the men of former years were better than
tbe men of today, exoept of course In tbe
Instance where tbe descendenta are ''running
out".
Wnat man of this day Is not as great and
as good as was bis fathei? Except where
tbe descendants of great men aspire to be
pigmies, where will you find a community
of men wbo are Inferlous to tbelr ancestors
While It It true that all people to be anything
must have histories and monuments,
yet It is aUo true that men of merit are seldom
ancestral worshippers.
What did the great men of Abbeville, or
South Carolina do for us in former timet?
Old they build splendid sohool houses?
Did; they furnish sohools for the peoplt?
Did they build elegant churches and weloome
poor people into tbelr pewb? Did
they build railroads? Did they give us telegraphs?
Did they give us elactrlo lights and
telephone*? Were they not rich, and did
ihey not ride In carriages drawn by fine
horses? while poor folks walked, when tbe
devil caught the hindmost.
Did tbey build monuments to tbe men
wbo fought for freedom and gave us tbe b. st
government the world ever saw? No. Did
they write great histories of tbe men who
commanded them? Yes. And we know
little else about tbe great revolution. We
bear much of tbe great men before the war
whose great work was to further rivet the
shaoklea of slavery.
fint what do we hear of tbelr work in
crowding our forefatbern ont of the laDd of
tbelr birth tbat more room could be bad for
tbelr slavet? It wei our forefathers tbat
'ought the revoluton, bat when the slaves
ncreastd Id number our fathers bad to
"move on" and so It was there were few men
left to fight our battles In tbe Confederate
war.
If tbla Is sot true, why Is It that there are
better lands than are to be found In tbe Inhabited
parts of Anderson, worth about onefifth
of tbe lands of Anderson which were
ot affllctedby suoh 'great names as we
ave produced?
Why Is It that, .In a hundred years under
the system or slavery, we made less progress
In building churches and school houses than
tbe lreed negroes of this county have
made In thirty yeart?
If there Is a couDty In the state that
should despise the.rule that oppressed the
poor before tbe war, Abbeville Is tbat county.
It 1b not Id tbe heart of this editor to glorify,
tbe aoi which sent our forefather! to tbe
West, and wblcb act has resulted la tbe
laying waste tbe fairest and the best portion
of Abbeville County.
Wbea did oar dlstlDqulBhed and mighty
ancestors build sach a theatre or such a
oourt house as McMillan aod Nlokles have
bought for us?
When idld our great and mighty dead
build such obu'cbex as we have built and in
wbloh we may worship tbe Author of our
being ?
Is It Dot an insnit to the manhood of today
to proolalm that oar ancestors were greater
or bad more public spirit than their descendants
who have done so mucb more for
Christianity and good government?
Hub not tbls generation been busy developing
the waste places made d solate by tbe
ex tensive holdings of our great and mighty
dead?
Who led this people Into a suicidal war
that shook tbls contlnen* and Oiled the land
with the blood of the beet manhood that
ever faced a foe? Thefaot.ls thai no better
soldiers ever went to war.
Our leaders before Secession led ns to a war
that swept oar country as a besom of ;destruotlon,
a war that filled the land with widows
and orphans, a war tbat Impoverished
the country.
Since the war our leaders have led us along
the paths of peace to prosperity and to higher
j civilization than was known before tbe war
The suooess of these leaders verifies tbe truth
that peaoe hath hervlctorles no less renowned
than of war. Then let us look more to
the rising sun than to the settlngsun.
Where Is the monument to the gallant unknown
dead who wsnt to Mexloo. I
Their names are soarcely recorded; while
tbe story of tbe more fortunate Is told Id
story and song.
While the lack or room In the Court House
prevented us from hearing bis speech It was j
received witb great pleasure by those of oar
people who beard It, and perhaps we are not '
orthodox Id dissenting In the particular
to ? bleb we referred. j

Having Company.
The letter read: "My dearest Sue,
Vest Thursday I will spend with yoo.
Lwon't enjoy my visit, though,
1 any trouble I beatow."
"Oh, I'm so glad," cried Mrs. Whiter
"For oompany Is raoh delightf"
But looking round her In dismay,
"I must get ready right away."
Armed with a dustpan and a broom,
Bhe west to work in every room.
6he oiled and polished, cleaned and rubbed
And vended, scoured, washed and aoruk
bed.
Then in the kitchen she began,
While perspiration down her ran,
At plea and paddlnga, cakes and breed.
As if an army must be fed.
Bhe tolled and fretted, oooked and baked.
Bhe hurried, worried, stewed and ached.
When Thursday came, aha, nearly dead.
Just managed to crawl out of bed.
And Mrs. Company oame too.
They kissed and hogged like woman ia,
And then began tired Mrs. White
To make ex o uses, usverright:
"Oh, dear, my house (then waxen olean)
Is most too dirty to be seen,
Bo ghat your eyes I You're looking stoat
Take off your things. I'm Jost worn e?4
"Yon moat ex erase my eooklng too.
It Isn't fit to offer you.
J'Twas at for kings.) Too bad yon ooflM
oat when I'm upside down at home!"
And thai she welcomed and distressed
And spoiled the visit of her guest.
Who wished she hadn't oome to be
A tired woman's "oompany."
?Farm and Flrealdak

We talked of life and death. She sai&
"Whichever of as two first dies
Shall oome baok from among the dead
And teach his friend these mysteries"
She died last night, and all this day
1 swear that things of every kind
Are trying, trying to oosvey
Bome message to my troubled mind
I looked op from my tears erewhll*
That white rose dying In the cup
Was gazing at ms with her smile.
It blushed her blush as I looked uj*
It paled then with an agony
Of effort to express me aught
That would, I think, bring peace to SM
Could I but guess, and I cannot.

Has worn that curious, meaning air.

The Upper Long Cane Picnic.
Last Saturday morning seemed a very unpromising
day for a picnic. It was too cold
to be pleasant out of doors, but later in tbe
day tbe wind lulled and it was quite pleaE
?ni. A large crowd bad asntmbied at old
Upper Long Cane Church for the Sunday
School picnic. The several Committees which
bad been appointed lo arrange for the picnic
bad faithfully performed their duties, as later
iteveloppaents revealed. At 11:30 o'clock all
assembled In the church for an (jours entertainment.
Dr. W. A, Hunter, of Bethla
Church bad bis Boy's Whistling Club on
band and It was a slgbi to see and bear ibose
boys whistling and singing various Gospel
songs. He has found the way to teacb boys
losing. With him also was a similar club
from tbe Cotton mill in town. These are the
only two such organizations we know of In
our country.
A large Cborns club of tbe young people of
tbe community rendered 6ome tongs, and
altogether nearly an hour and a half stole by
belore wa remembered It was dinner time.
Ad uddmualiy nice dinner waa spread, end
lemonade and Ice tea In abundance. Tbe
greater part of tbe afternoon was spent In
games and races.
t here was Snap lor tbe little folkn, and for
the laretr ones- all soitsjof races 100 yards
dasb. Potato race, three legged race, etc.
There were qnlte a number (of contestants of
dlflerent ages and ofboih sexee. All gave
themselves up to the spirit of the day and It
was greatly eijoyed by all who were there.
Tbe general seutimeii' necras to be that there
must be another S. !S. Picnic at Long Cane,
and tbare will be but we will wait until next
spring wben the dayt- got longer, (or this one
was not long tnougb lor us to 'finish all that
our diligent committees bed In store for us.
Memory will nat serve tbe wrltej to 'give tbe
prize?.
Mr. R. C. Brownlee, of Due West, lent bis
pretence al tbe dedication last Thursday.
He bas always been In favor of tbe building
of tbe new court bouse and was one of tbe
signers of tbe original petition. He went
through the court bouse and city ball, last
Thursday and was much pleased. The people
of Abbeville are always glad to have so
good a inan r.mongst us. He Is one of tbe
richest men In the county, and always lends
bis Influence to the church aud gives his
money to back up bis Influence.
