CONCERNING METERS On Lights, Water and Millinery. ! A good many years ago the city of Abbeville put In a system ol water works, but did not | put lu meters. Public spirited citizens turned their backs on the "Old oaken bucket thai hung In the well." They shut their eyes to the sweet associations, and subscribed to the new Idea of bavins: water on tap. ' There was water everywhere. Lawns were sprinkled with it, gardens watered with It; everything was being raised by waterpower. In course of time the city fathers concluded that they were being patronized too liberally In the use of water and In an evil hour they pat on meters. One bill with the meters was paid and then?on every hand there was fulfilment of the scripture that the "grass wlthereth and the flower fadetb." The olty again took on new life. An enterprising company proposed to put In a system ' of electric lights. Again the publlospirited i citizen came to the front, and forgetting bis ' reveries: "Where glowing embers through the room { Teach light to counterfeit a gloom.'' he looked from the old to the, new?from the torch and oil lamps, to that new mystery 1 "Where God and nature meet In light." In this Instance as in the flrst.tbe matter ol putting In meters was overlooked. Tbeie was light everywhere; light to rival the gilded DAUB or even iu rjrai uujf, nuiu c<d>/ i>u>? In every bouse It streamed, even filling the streets to overflowing. Anon the eleotrlc plant lell Into the band& . oftbeolty fathers. Meters were patoc, aca then?the darkness. Housewives saw the meter moving, notob by notcb, reglsteilDg a dime for every noteb. One nlgbt over and fllty cents gone. Tben tbe lights In the slt - ling room were pat oat and tbe light in tbe ball left bnrnlng only as long as good people re supposed to be out. Another night and < Jorty cents more added. All lights out oat tben except In bed room and ball, and one In dining room left burning Just long enough to dispatch tapper. Another nlgbt and thirty WDM muni Hullo. lUOUtAt ui; kus boar la moved up and children pnt to bed with the chickens. The lady of the house has had no rest, daj nor night, alnce this wheel of late has been reglat erlng against her. In her dreams, she has aeen a great honr glass, and passing before her, In fall view, she has seen first her i husband's earnings, then her Jewelry, and ' finally her home. How real It all seemed! And yet, these things are going.through tbe hour glass every day, and it 1b not noticed. The good man of the bouse goes out In search Tungsteus, Tantalums, By-!oe wblob J burners he has heard do not turn tbe wheel ol the meter so fast. At last the merciless meter gets down to poor man's level and tbe bouBewlfe again draws an easy breatb. How vividly tbe mater brings expenditures to the attention ol the housekeeper! If Mr. Haddon, Fbllson, Henry <kCo. and A. M. Smith & Co. would lao put on meters, and let tbe good women 1 know Just bow much they are spending there, Christmas would not hold bo many horrors by reason of Its proximity to New Year. We wonld be willing to ran the dispensary a ? while longer on "flat rate.", ? Elections Then and Now. e gv ; The Press and Banner of Nov. 15, 1876, said: i ' "For the past week the whole country has bean excited over the local and general elections to a degree heretolore unknown In American politics." During the whole campaign In 1908 everything has been as calm as a May morning. Not a ripple of excitement has occurred at any time. ? The quietude of this campaign as compared with that of 1876 Is noted by all who remember the stormy days of the Red Shirt Parades, when "Hampton and Home Role" was the battle cry, and when every man thought It was his duty to do a full share In "Redeeming the State." Previous to the election President Grant had stationed troops In various places to see that a lair election was held. At that time the majority of colored, or Republican voters In this county were about two to one, but the Democrats succeeded In Inducing a sum. olent number of .Republicans to vote with them. But some people were unjustienough toward the whiles to entertain the thought that some Republicans had been bought, and that others had been Intimidated. There were others who thought that a lew, white men, in order to make Democratic Victory sure, voted more than once. Of course none ? of these ugly charges were ever proven. White men crowded around the polls while others Hood on the outskirts, worklcg lor "Hampton and Home Rule." As an Instance of Democratic enthusiasm one young man, though afflicted with corns on his leet, stood on the court house steps, where it was possible lor a Republican to tep on his lavonte corn. He had the proverbial big stick in hand, and not wishing to see either himself or anybody else hurt, gave notice of bis intention to resent any carelessness in the neighborhood of his corns. Tbe result was, icai, id ptusiug, ujc Republicans were very careful. Indeed, some outol extreme caution, took no chances ol stepping on Democratic corns. Tbat young man of 1876 Is now one of the solid men ol the town. He stands high wlih the people, Is s a leader in every good cause; is a pillar In v the Presbyterian church, being as entbuslas ^ tlo along these lines as be was In winning a "political victory In 1876. Among the enthusiastic leaders In thai campaign was Captain L. W. White. For a time be devoted bis whole time and energy ( to the election of good Democrats. Captain Jobn E. Brownlee was a hero in v tbat campaign. STANDARD BEARERS IN 1S/0. Wade Hampton, Governor, a D. Wyatt Aiken, Congressman, J. Colhran, Solicitor, r John C.

Orphanage has filled out It*- n 88rd year of Institutional hie. One third of a o century ago, it was opened in a single two p glory bulldiDg, on what was oalled "Broad * street" thougn in reality a country road 1l a the suburbs of the village or Clinton, It* foundations were laid deep in faith In boo eind love for tbe Lord's little children. A hundred and fifty acres of land formed iLt ,'vown" lot on which it was located and thin lot was purchased at the cost of about 811 an uere. In these 33 years, Broad street has be- c oome the principal business btreet of a thriving little city. The Orphanage farm is now " surrounded on all sides by a growing popula- li tlon. Electric lights,telephones, water main* p and side walks Indicate that tbe city has surrounded the Orphanage with its Improve- c ments and the groundB of tbe institution p have risen in vaiue, and form no mean part ti of the total valuation of the institution. 'J be one stone building bas grown to twenty; the " eight little ohlidren wltn whloh tbe instltu- b Hon opened have increased to 250. And in- y stead of two officers to care lor the little flock, there 8re now thirty-two. Looking Dacft ri over tbe years, these grounds seem almost F like a battlefield, lor every day ol tbat time E bas been a struggle. On every hand victories have been won, often wrested from defeat. 1 "Onward" bas been tbe dally cry of tbe ? workers and amid much that opposed there t, bave been many encouraging voices saying "Godspeed." n tl ADDITIONS TO THE ENDOWMENT FUND LAST . b YEAR.

In the good old Advertiser of lut>t week, we ud the following statement. "The Advertiser lays claim to being the oldit newspaper In South Carolina. baslDg Its aim to that distinction and honor upou the ict that It was established In January 1835, ea>ly 74 years ago, and has been published jntinuonnly since that time under the imp came. Otber papers claim to be older, ut tbeir age Is probably gained tbrougb conilldatlon, taking the age o( ibe oldest of tbe apers consolidated. Herewith is reproduced ) part a copy of Tbe Advertiser published taacb 3rd, 1837, Vol. 2, No. 4, the Imperfect npressloh being due to tbe faded and tlmeorn condition of tbe old paper photograph1 tor making tbe cut shown above." Jffiome papers were oonsolldated and tbe ge of the oldest of the consolidated papers ere taken, that faot makes not greater dli'rence than tbe change of owners of those hlch bave been publlt-bed continuously uner one name?tbe editors are not the same s they were 74 years ago. For Instance: Tbe .bbevllle Banner was founded seven years fter tbe Advertiser. It was bought by tbe wners of tbe Abbeville Press in 1809, and wus fterward published as the Abbeville Press nd Banner. The name of the editor today as been at tbe bead of the paper since April 1859?Nearly fifty years. Now, which Is tbe idnst. the Advertiser, which has not changed ,8 name, bat which has changed owners, iany times, or the Abbeville Press and Baner whose editor has been owner or editor for early fifty years? Seventy-four years Is a >ng time for a paper to live without change f name, and fifty years Is a long time for a lan to work on a paper, even though It bange its name. May the good old Adverser live forever. Just here we would suggest that If any ewspaper In the fvture should buy out a ompetlng paper, that the name of the dead aper be dropped. We see no good reason for /innhlo nomfl. ? Mr. Gibbs Baker. The Pre&a and Banner bad a very pleananl all one day last week from Mr. Glbba Baker, armerly of Lowndeavllle, but now of Washigton, D. C. Mr. Baker 1? fully alive to tbe olltloal Bltnatlon and ba? a most intelligent onceptlon of tbe Bltnatlon, but at wo cannot nblisb It before tbe election, tbe retnrnB ot be balloting might be more certain ?mi eflnlte. Mr. Baker Is a lawyer, and a memer of one of tb# well known law flrma of Vasbington.

The United forth against the solid South may cease to e the case in a few years. The South, as aatters now are, has very little to do with tie Government. It Is time for the South to eoome part of the Government. Mr. Baker thinks that Southern Senators bould strive to speak, simply to let people now that they are there. Mr. Baker Is a reat admirer ot the late Senator Latimer, nd believes that Rosevelt Is something of a olltlolan possessing ability and taot. | The Sales. Quite a number of people from the oountry !

But It is from a sanitary point of view that physicians and others are discussing the matter. The town council would prohibit the spit-1 nnnn !<!aaralk a hftnailRf) of the fllthlness I of the habit, and consequent danger to disease. No edict bas ;been made against spitting on the street. Physicians have been awakened to the danger of spitting, and from a sanitary stand point would prevent spitting on the streets or on other places from whlcb the disease germs might rise with the dust. Pnyslclans, too, warn the laity against swallowing the pble<m which oomes to tbem, they say that it Is dangerous for us to spit In our stomachs; that consumption germs would go into fhe sewerage track. One safe place to spit Is in a spittoon which bas water In It. ir we do not spit In our stomachs or on tbe etreet, and sleep In tbe open air, one may escwpe consumption. Going to Columbia. Mr. W.

Government May Restrict the Use of the Mails for Ordering of Whiskey. Washington, Nov. 2.?(Special.)?91 nee prohu.iilou went Into tttttt in many parts of tbe country a lew yeaas ago, various methods bave been adopted for evading tbe law, one of the beat known of these being the use of tbe United States mails for tbe purpose of soliciting orders. Recently, however, tbe postal authorities nave reached the conclusion that a little too much of tbls kind of business was being done. The whiskey, of course, la not aotually transported through the mallB, but the orders are and to such proportions baa tbe business been carried on tbat tbe officials are threatening to come down good and bard on the promoters. Not long ago tbe commissioner of internal revenue Issued a regulation requiring rectified spirits, or alrobal to be branded a? "Imitation wbit>key." Tbe dealers in reotlfled spirits took exception to this regulation, wblch was new, but made necessary by tbe oparatirn of tbe pure foob and drug law of 1906, and sought an Injunction from a federal oourt in one o( tbe Illinois districts. Tbe Injunction was denleu on tbe ground tbat tbe regulation was not believed to be unreasonable, and because rectified spirits are not whiskey. Any liquor dealer who Is caught selling the imitation whiskey for tbe genuine artlole will be prosecuted, and bere is where tbe postal authorities take a bsnd. It bas been thnneht. latAlv thnt much of the Whiskey Bold rbrough advertisements wa? the Imitation stuff, though as yet no bona fide canes have deen made out. It Is the Intention of the postmaster general to have all each cases pushed to the limit and be said today that If those who have been Imposed upon will report sucb cases to b 1 m, snob matters will at once be taken np and pnsbed. The department declares that It is all right for the dealers to advertise a* much as they desire and to sell all the stuff tbey cad, but that when tbey are selling the lmlutlon liquors they mast so state and not b? II their products as genuine through the medium ol the United States malls. It will not be allowed and prosecutions will follow.
