Anti-Tuberculosis, We are all talking ana thinking of tuberculosis. Nobody uow thinks ol' calling It bj tbe old time plebeian name, 'consumption," v...? ih? HiacQcn is th? same and Its deadly work Is Ibe same. That is the reason that philanthropic physicians In all parts of the world are now organizing themselves and the people Into anti-tuberculosis societies. The Abbeville physicians are up to tbe time in this matter and are urging the people to join them in their efforts to stamp out consumption. At the Court bouse last Friday night there, were a number of interested laymen, but owing to tbe extreme oold temperature of the atmosphere and tbe piercing wind which moved with a velocity that made predestrlans careful of their footsteps kept many away from the meeting. Many, supposing that there would be no meeting,-remained at borne and missed the most interesting meeting and the rnoBt instructive oue that we have attended in the Courthouse. Dr. JSeufier was called to the chair, and Mr. W. K. Bradley was asktd to act as secretary. The minutes as lurnisbed by him glvt facts. Dr. Neotfer called on Dr. Brltt, Dr. Gambrell, Dr. Harrison, Mr. W. R. Bradley and other laymen lor remarks. Mr. C. V. Hammond said something like thlt: "Soai and a little hot water properly applied were good things in their place. II cleanliness It next to godliness, hliblness reaches out In tbe other direction." Dr. Neufler himself made a most excellent talk in warning laymen against tbe Great White Plague which lb creuutu WllU Hlli/iug vuuuc wut w u.v.j bia ol the banian family. He thought consumption a preventable disease but he thought 116 Incurable. Dr. Harrison thought It was certain thai many cases of consumption bad been cured. Dr. .Neuffer cited instances to show tbt susceptibility of whole families to the disease. The disease germs would lodge In the walls, the ceilings and the floors of the bouse. Tht furniture would become permeated with them. The curtainB and the carpets would hold them in storage for an Indefinite length of time. He thought when a house was bc permeated the only sale way was to bnrn it, and all the weaves that were In the house thai could not be boiled for thirty minutes should be likewise destroyed. He told of an Instance where a wife died of It. The husband , married again. The second wife slept ol the same bed, where the first wlft she died, having caught the disease from the wife whom she bacfc never seen. Tbe furniture In this Instance was then destroyed. The carpet was carried off and used by another family. He bad not heard from tbe carpet since. W e could have told blm 01 an Instance in this county where a consumptive died and the servant received or accepted the bed on which the consumptive lay as part pay lor bis services. Tbe servant died in due time. We could also tell of a whole family that died in this way. One membei A sister walled on her, and she died. A slstei of tbe latterdeceased waited on her and sbe died. A hired woman waited on the third sister who took it, and she died of consumption. The chief attraction of tbe evening was the address of Miss Bell of Sumter. She gave a g lowing acconnt of tbe good work which good people are dolDg In her town. Her remark* will be a benediction and an Inspiration to onr people to.deeds of kindness and) charity. She dwelt largely on nursing tbe sick and In administering to their needs. During her remarks this editor could not bnt contrast her work with that of those persons whose misdirected, though well meant, efforts are oppressing our people to raise money t<r support hosts of missionaries abroad. This editor is a home missionary who believes that home people have bodies as well as souls. Abbeville In times pa6t bas undertaken many things and in some ol which ,we have succeeded, but nothing of ball the Importance of tbe anti-tuberculosis movement bas yet been undertaken. Comfortable Prisoners. The prisoners in our Jail bad a merry old | time of it during tbe recent cold spell, and we , are glad to report tbat nobody was frozen to deatb. Eacb of ibem were farnlsbed with ( tbree genuine cotton blankets, costing , cents a pair. When Sheriff Lyon called Su- ( pervlsor Stevenson's attention to the sltua- | tlon, the Supervisor Immediately ordered a , lotof blankets to be Bent to tbe Jail, aud be ^ afterward bad a plumber to make estimates ( as to tbe cost of putting In waterworks and ^ sewerage. It Is with pleasure that we record the Slier- t iff's amlety to make tbe prisoners comlortable, and it is to tbe credit of Abbeville t County tb at tbey have elected a humane and ( merciful Supervisor wbo will see that the ^ County is not disgraced by brutal cruelly to f helpless inmates ol tbe Jail. Let tbe cost be what It may, let tbe Jail be not a place that would disgrace a beathen land. Publlo build- f lngs reflect the pride and respectability of any people, while cruel and barbarous treatment of prisoners is a disgrace te tbe lowest a type 01 a people. Sheriff .Lyon and Supervisor Stevenson are determined that our miserable old Jail shall not disgrace oar elegant Court house, and they do not intend to have a prison bouse less humane than is our city calaboose, which la steam heated, has waterworks and sewerage in every cell. Eiectrio lights shine for all ?in the corridor. e ?<?? ? o F Abbeville Shot up by Trusty- e 11 Since Abbeville has been putting on airs in )( the matter of public buildings her officers (! have taken suggestion from the State House in Columbia, in the matter of keeping the new tile floors cleaned by convict labor. A colored convict from the County gane named ^ Jim Lindsay was made a trusty and to him a was assigned this post of honor. y Saturday night Jim put aside bis 7 uniform and went fialllnt? flown nn nno ni tbe popular alleys. It seems tbat a dispute D arose between tbe man of stripes ana bis lady c love, whereupon be palled a pistol and tired ^ at ber tbree times. The city authorities took B him lu hand promptly, and It is Bald that B Supervisor Stevenson ban allowed him tore- p enlist in tbe gang without examination or y presidential hindrances. t ? . ? 1 s Mr. Hammond, Superintendent of Education, reports tbat one mighty goodandcon- t sclentlous prohibitionist teacher spoke bes- e ltatlngly about acoepting dispensary money In navmput of her salarv The trustee remo. nlzed tbe situation and suggested that he could divert her share of the dispensary money to the support of a negro school In t that district. Tbe money has not been dl- I verted. t . i Dr. Cowen, Mr. M. B. Clinkscalea and Mr. R. <J. Brownlee of Due West were among those who were in town last Monday. Mr. B. F. Miller was in town Monday. He Is talking of going into the employ of tbe | sew evening paper at Colombia. I > . 'n\??.VaM'lUBESSflSS JOSEPH AS A LAND GRABBER. Mr. W. T Magill as a Corn Raiser and I Keeper of a Warehouse. Long years ago Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, was sold by bis brothers to a caravan ol Arabian merchants,who took him toEgypt where be rose to the highest position in the bouse of Potapber, king and ruler of Egypt. Joseph became Interpreter of dreams for the king, and when be was Informed that the king's dream foretold of a famine that would follow the then existing season of prosperity, be appointed Joseph chief collector of corn, with which bis people might tide over the time of tbe famine. He built great storehouses, (we call them cribs in these days,) and filled them full of the nourishing and tbe life-preserving grain. At the appointed time tbe famine set in. Trie alluvial soil of tbe I Nile no loDger produced Its usual crops, when death and destruction threatened the ^habitants. Joseph, when his barus bad been flu- ed, sat cross legged on tbe lence and defied A the drouth to do Its worst. ^ i~ ? iittio mhiio th? nnnnln were hungry. and they brought their ox carts, and band ^ bags that tbey iulght draw rations of the goldeu grain. When hunger began to pinch the people Joseph ceased to give away the corn, out organized himself Into a land agency In the Interest of his great master, Pharloh. Before the famine was over be had bonght for Pharoah all the land of Egypt. And eo It was that Joseph and his king became a corporation of land grabbers, In comparison with which the pians of Senators to sooop the railroad lands of Oregon dwindle Into Insignificance. Joseph didn't deal In little two hundred acre sections lor nlmself and his children as do Senators in Oregon, tie just took the whole thing for miles and miles around. He took the alluvial lands of the Nile, and grabbed the barren rocks, tie appropriated titles to the tandy deserts, and took to himself the unprofitable :uillB that overlooked the wealth of the delta. All was Pharoh'a, and Joseph set the world an example In the extent of land agencies that has never been equalled In modern times. . M While nobody In these days would attempt so great an acquisition as that of which Joseph made, yet the etorles of corn growing In Inspire In the hearts of good men every where the disposition to oonttst the honor i [ of being the greatest corn raiser on earth. Mr. W. T. Magill, of this city, possesses a A sandy hill between the Double Branches and ^ the little stream that bathes the foot of the Blue tillls. Believing that If the sands of Egypt could contribute to Joseph's greatness and to Pharoah's riches, he might utilize ais sana oen, huu uhu? uim cuuu^u, uw w. _ ouy alt tbe adjoining land, surely enough to f" feed bis own mules, bis own cattle, and bis own cultivator plow. At a lime "Wben to earth another birth Of buds and flowers was given, And every breeze that kissed ibe trees, Bore incense up to heaven," be plowed his sand, opened furrows in It, and therein placed the seed. The needed artlole which enriches* the land and makes the owner prosperous was in close proximity. In due time the corn raised , "Ten thousand sabers in the sun." A little later on wben autnmn was come, and when the leaves of the trees were tinged with golden and brown tinted colors, tbe expected grain was there and the heart of Mr. Maglll.llke tbe heart of Joseph, was filled with Joy. His dream had been realized and tbe llfe-nourlshlng food was safely lodged In tbe barn. Mr. Maglll's neighbors need have no fear of htm. Unlike Pbariob,he has no designs any body 's farm. But later on he will tell the readers of the Press and Banner how be made thirty or forty bushels of corn on a sand bed. It Is not (or us to tell tbe reader bow Mr. MagUl worked this seeming mlraole. We do not know how be conjured it. We know as flttle about Maglll's plan of farming as we know of Williamson's plan of raising corn. But tbe corn has been seen and it 1b known to bave existed. We doubt nothing of Mr. Maglll's achievements since be so successfully manages tbe Farmers' Warehouse. He ban a lea many ihoubbuu omen uverj jvm, buu uc seemingly knows where to find every man's bales, and he can and does find It, when it 1b wanted. COLD WEATHER. Strong Winds?Outdoor Work Suspended ?Frozen Water Pipes. Last Friday the temperature was warm and Q those who were oat of range of the wind were 8 comfortable as to temperature. The wind, m however, was strong and sent bats flying. Jj| Many tried to bold tbejr headgear, which sometimes went rolling down the street, roward night the temperature Indicated a t i much lower degree. Workmen were called 'I" oft buildings and outdoor work generally was suspended. Tbe wind blew a gale all through tbe night and on Saturday tbe temperature was much lower than on tbe previous day. At night tbe wind gained In velocity, and tbe temperature was far below he freezing point. Atone time It was not ?ery far Irom zero. More coal was buret on Sunday than bad >een burned for many days before. We bad bad sucb pleasant weather that nany people forgot all about the danger >f freezing pipes. On Monday morning they vere reminded of the situation. It was a eal good day for the plumbers, b?lng the first ;ood day that they have had thlB winter. The weather by Monday had greatly modiled the Intensity of the cold, and the sun was is pleasant that day as one could wlsb. Hot house plants that were not cared for ,re now lifeless. The cotton plants that showed Blgns of ltfe re dead. "Prominent and Fine" If some Legislators would Introduce a bill jr enactment Into law, that would fix a prop r penalty for constant and meaningless use f "prominent" and "fine" he wonld do the >ubllc a great service. If any Legislator will onffoflno r\nh' VCU a I kGUJ ^ l> b\J iviiy TO a ivug omuoiiu^ f uw c from the intolerable and everlasting sense ass use of these words, we will make no fur . tier request of him at this session. W Every man who bas a eurpluB dollar should CC eposltlt In one of the banks. Start a bank coount, no matter bow small It may be, an d ou will feel better and you will be rlober. 'be banks are glad to bave even the smallest eposlts. They pay interest and you the faraer, wbo has nothing to do but to watch the 1~* rop grow ^will kbe kept busy seeing your * ' ank account grow. Money on deposit Is tbe afest investment that oan be made. All the took of tbe bank, and every stook-bofder is lersonally liable for it. Tbe main thing for ou tc do is to make the deposits and take be proper receipts for it when your baggage s cbeckek for a higher and a better financial tanding. To have a bank account on tbe lght Bide of the ledger is the best thing on bis earth?except a good wife, which this dltor bae, up to this time, been unable to ;et. We understand that Senator Qraydon says hat the Hen law will be repealed by this legislature. The newspapers report that the >111 ban already passed the House by a large najorlty. The fate of jbe dispensary Is uncertain but be chances are that State?wide prohibition ivlll fall. The recent rise in the price of land made uen rloh. The more reoent fall In the Belling prloe ot real estate baa hurt many.

Dr. Brltt assured tbe peaker ol tbe occasion, Miss Beall pi Sumter, and those present tbal tbey might ely od tbe Abbeville Medical Society to lend ta aid to tbla cause and to take active part In >ny work that might have such a purpose in 'lew.
