On the public road bet ween Due West nnd Abbeville tbere Is a small school house. It Is near Santuo saw mill, which school Is taught by Miss Kate Crawford. The remarkable thing about it la that a small flower garden has been enclosed by a neat fence. It Is tbe only one I ever saw on the grounds of a common school. Tbe teacher seems not only to Instruct tbe children In books but In other tbiugs as well. A good many flowers have been planted and care-, fully cultivated. It would seem the pupils of this school do not confine their learning to j the cold dead factR of tbe books, but they also j work among the flowers that live and grow. 1 And so their love and taste for the beautiful j expands. I have no doubt tbey are taught | to look from nature up to nature's God, and as they admire and love their beautiful flowers they no doubt adore and worohlp Him who clothes tbe 111 lies and gives to them meir great neauty. Our informant on this particular is a wld-! ewer and be guarantees tbat the teacher is tbe nicest and the prettiest woman on earth ! SlDce writing the above we learn that Miss ; Mary Carwiie's school at Parks Creek has a beautiful flower garden on Its grounds. Tbe Santuc tewoher may have the widower, and the Parks Creek teacher can get an old bacnelor It Bhe likes him. Songs in the Night. Very many of the sweetest Joys of Christian heartB are sungs which have been learned In tbe bitterness or trial. It Is Bald of a little bird tbat be will never learn to sing tbe song his master wl'l have bim blm alng while It lit light In his cage. He learns a snatch of every song be hears but will not learn a full separate melody of hlB own. And the master covers tbe cage and mnkes It dark all about the bird and then be listens and learns the one song that 1* taught htm, until bis heart is full of It. Then ever after, he alngs tbe song in the light. With many of us it is as with tbe bird. Tbe master has a song be wants to teach us but we learn only a strain of It, a note here and there, while we catch up snatobes of t be world's song and sing them with it. Then be comes and makes it dark about us, till we learn tbe sweet melody be would teacb up. Many of the loveliest songs of peace and trust sung by ollldren nave been taugbt in tbe darkened chamber of sorrow. The Angel of the HomeShe does not make any fuss about It, nor ask to have a reporter at her elbow. Bat her sunny heart of self forgetting love will Dot let ber bands be at rest while there Is any bit of helpful service she can render. If she can wltbout observation slip the burnt roll of ndercruston ber plate It Is done. If some 3De must Btay at home when there Is a day's autlng, she tells with music In every tODe, bow glad she will be to be left quietly neblnd and have time to do ever so many things she baa In mind. And none suspect from word tone bow great the sacrifice to give up ibe pleasure. Her quick eye detects the over sight or neglect on the part of another, aDd she quickly hastens to remedy tbe matter, carelul that oone shall know her band has made up anitber's failure. Is a harsh round of Judgement started by some ill advised criticism? 3be deftly ann tenderly drop* the sweetest aosslble word for the crltlc'zed one. and switches tbe conversation to other topics. Do we not all recognize this "angel?" We ;all her mother, wile, sister In the grloryand tbey will call her saint?Leesvllle News What Women do Instinctively. A man cannotdo two things at a time.

You Must Not Deny Any Man His Personal Liberties. Edgefield Chro icle. The prohibition law of Alabama has just bad two big boles knocked through it. That.section of the law which forbids the storage or holding in possession of liquor in any building or apartment that is inhabited, has been declared unconstitutional. The piovisiou. it appears, is clearly in conflict with the maxim that every man's home is his castle. Another section of the Alabama prohibition bill which has been declared unconstitutional or contrary to the Bill of Bights is the one which authorized the issue of war rauts to enter inhabited dwellings lor tbe purpose of securing evidence. Intern porate reformers may assert that hedehial of a man's freedom to "booze" in bis own home is justified as a means to a good eDd. The denial of this freedom, however, would involve the denial of other personal liberties which even extreme Prohibitionists hold sacred. Abbeville-Green wo od MUTUAL IUM ASSOCIATION.

THIS enterprising young u.an is doing a firstclass bush tbh. His parlors are at the same old Stand?the old postofflce. His prices are right and he is getting the business. Shaving - 10 cts. Hair Cnt - 25 cts. Mr. Dewey is assisted by Mr. Walter McCord. These two gentlemen make a splendid team and can turn out work most satisfactory in price, and unsurpassed in execution. Passengers Entitled to Seat. There are perhaps few people who travel on railroad trains to any considerable extent who have not. ptopH enced the inconvenience and discomfort of being denied a seat through the selfishness of some fellow who has deposited his band baggage in a seat and theu hiked off to the smoking compartment or other part of the train, thereby occuping two seats?often at the expense of ladies and children. The practice probably is more or less common throughout the entire country, but that is no reason why it should not be regulated by the railroads. Apparently the most frequent offenders in this connection are commercial travelers, many of whom arrogate to themselves the righc to thus occupy two seats, regardless of the hardships to which tbey are subjecting others; and if some fellow-passenger is bold enough to attempt to occupy the baggage-laden seat the owner of the baggage protests in a loudmouth, most often, as is the wont of no inconsiderable number of "drummers," the seat is his by right of reservation. Udfortunately there are too many people who accept this unwarranted statement as a matter of fact, preferriug to suffer from such hoggishness rather than become embroiled in a personal difficulty. There is not, so far as our intormation goes, any law upon the statute books of South Carolina touchy ing this matter, but it is safe to assume that if a case were taken before our courts a decision would be rendered following closely that of the New York court of appeals, which holds that the placing of baggage in a seat in a railway car does not reserve it frr the owner of the baggage. In affirming the decision of the lower court the New York court of appeals establishes definitely for that State three points. Seats in a passenger car are for nass engers to sit in, seats are not for goods, chattels or baggage; seats containing baggage are, in the eyes of the law, vacant. The Southern railway,on whose trains the people of this section often have to submit to the hardships pointed out, would be fiafe in instructing its condictors to follow the New York decision.
