Phone 118, An Auld AcquaintanceA young man who was spending a week in a 2sorth of Scotland village became acquainted with " a local character," of whose company he was very fond. Among other peculiarities in Sandy that amused the youth was his nevei ending boast of his mighty ancestors and his d< ble conmctioriB. One da} the visitor was sitting by the way side reading, when Sandy made hii appearance drivii g a laige pig. "Hulo, Sandy!" taid the visitor "what's this jou've got toe'aj? I, this one of your noble relations?" "Oh! no, sir," replied Sandy; "She' no relation at all. She's t-hust at iicquantaince like yourself!"? V :,:V \ > 1s ' I ' \ \ Intemperate Prohibition. Rev. Roper the presiding elder of this circuit entertained an Abbeville andlence twice last Sunday by extended remarks on prohibition and kindred subjects. The editor of the Press and Banner did not have the ple^j are of hearing him, but we learn that bq" burled some choice epithets, such as "liar and fool." Ia advocating the voting out of the dispensary be cited, so we are told the remarkable growth of a town in North Carolina alter the barrooms bad been closed. The people tbea became prosperous, the town grew apace stores and a bank were established; the peo pie put money in the bank Instead ol buying liquor eto. If we heard the name of the fav ored North Carolina town, we have forgotten It but we have no sort of doubt that the town tjxIstB and that great prosperity has come to It, and that great blesslngB have multiplied and benefited the people since the closing of the barrooms, Tbe wiping out of the bar. rooms has no doubt done great good to every community which has rid Itself of the greatest curse that ever afflicted a christian people. The hlbtory of the whole country would bear out Mr. Roper's statement as to the prosperity of tbe North Carolina town.. The State of South Carolina, comparatively speaking, stood still for a hundred years, anu until the barrooms were voted out. Since the establishment of the dispensary the State has blossomed as tbe rose. The people are happy. Their lands have greatly Increased In price. Towns have sprung up on almost every hill. Cotton mills, oil mills, fine dwelling houses, great stores and other evidences of thrift and prosperity greet the eye on every band since the old barrooms gave place to tbe dispensary. Railways and highways have been built, cities have sprung up like muglo, bankB have been established In nearly evdry town where money can be deposited at a good rate of interest, aud where the needy citizens jnay borrow the cash on easier terms lhau before the closing of the barrooms and the opening of the dispensaries. If our clerical brother would open his eyes on South Carolina's prosperity since the closing of the barrooms and since the opening ol the dispensary he need not strain his vision or tax the Imagination of his hearers to see the Isolated little prosperous town over In the State of N. C. Since closing of our barrooms and slnoe the opening of our dispensaries South Carolina has made the most wonderful strides In building churches, colleges and school houses In the growth and prosperity of her manufacturing or Industrial enterprises since the closing ol our barrooms and the op ning of our dispensary no parallel to our prosperity can be found In any county. While It would tire the reader if we should undertake to cite all the evidences of prosnorlt tt I hot ho Cft AAmo tn CaiiIVi P.ivnllna since tbe opining of the dispensary, yet we maybe pardoned If.we cite an Instance or two as examples of a thousand jother like evidences of the beneficial result* of tbe dispensary system. Look at tbe Improvement "In tbe State University. Look at Clemson College with Its 700 students. Look at Wintbrop, witb its oveiflowing dormitories, and sympathise with the 500 girls who were turned away b( ; cause of lack of accommodation. Look al the Rockblll Slate school for woman. Don'l [ forget tbe crowded halls of Conversa, EJrskine ; W offord, Lander and other Colleges. Thel: great prosperity has come since the openlni of tbe dispensary. But the growth and prosperity of these Col 3 leges Is not all, nor any great per cent of tb< r educational advantages which have resultei or which have come about since tbe openini i of tbe dispensary. In the good old days o Calhoun and barrooms we bad almost m , school houses, and many of the school honse 9 wbich we then had were not worthy of tht name. Some of them at least, were log bous s es, with chimneys and fireplaces made ofmu i and w< cid 60 wide that the children coul m ove the slab, which was used aa a seat fc ? 1 11 1 1 i - i 1 n,*m i For Sale!

Two new five room cottages, fine 9tate of repair, on good roomy lot, with barns, chicken houses, garden, etc., for $1,500 each.

This property will interest a home seeker. Ten lots on the new street between Episcopal parsonage and Mr.Bowie Some of these days you will be sorry you did not buy oDe of these lots. Several lots on Main Street, also in other parts of the city. One tract of land, 310 acres, lying 8 miles east of Abbeville, at small price of $9 per acre. This is good land, all lies well. One tract of 200 acres, four miles from Troy, with timber enough on it to pay for the place three times. Lies well, in fine condition, $12.50 acre. One tract of 223 acres, on Abbeville and Mt. Carmel road, a bargain at $12.50 acre. Now rented for a sum netting about ten per cent, on cost of place. We have a number of very desirable places listed with us both in city and county.

How Is It cow, under Tillman and the dls pensarjT Good school bouses are found ln^ M many places, and good teachers are em ployed In even tbe far away or remote sect* ions. This condition exists not only In Abbevllle|county, but In every county In tbe 8tate. Under Calhoun and (be barrooms even the towns and cities were III supplied with school ' facilities. Under Tillman and tbe dlspen- q sary every town in the State has fts elegant high school where children may be prepared ^ for college. unaeruBjnouD auu iuc oarruuiuo ?o uuu almost no colleges. Tha S. C. college, tbe z. Citadel, and ErBklne we believe, were all that we bad under Calhoun end tba barrooms. , UDder Tillman aod tbe dispensary nearly ^ every religious denomination bas Its bigb schools and its colleges. ^ Look at tbe prosperity of tbe little town of Due West since tbe ettablifibment of tbe dlfpensaryat Abbeville Fifteen years bgo It was tbe cross roads of a little bam let. In that ^ time the town bns grown to be a beautiful ^ municipality. Under the dispensary the peo ? ble have built a railroad on which trains run > almost hourly carrying passengers and freight, bringing activity and thrift to all tbe ^ trade and commerce while awskenlngor ex* ?. citing anew the opening of all tbe avenues to learning, to culture, to tbe enlargement of tbe ^ heart, and to tbe elevating of the mind to f( tbe highest standards. Look at tbe new and fi) elegant stores that grace her streets and in' j vlte oustomers from tbe distant bills and sur ^ rounding country. Look at tbe Improved ^ houses, and contemplate tbe prosperity and ^ { tbe bapj lness of tbe people today under tbe ^ dispensary as compared with the same things jj under tbe barroom. ^ Look at grand old Ersklne since w'e bave ^ the dispensary. Students fill every room In tbe dormitories. Each private bcu^e la pressed to furnish students accommodation, u No such an army of students ever filled tbe a clasB rooms of, Ersklne until the establish* Q ment of the dispensary. ^ Look at tbe Female College at Due West, j tbe number and beauty of whose students j. Is tbe pride of tbe cburcb and tbeadmlratlon j of all who visit the town. Look at the mag- s nlflcent dormitory for bousing tbe best and >] the sweetest of tbe human race. Did Due H West, have any such college and any such g dormitory under tbe bar room system? No. j It come under tbe dispensary system wblcb j some men affect todlsplse so heartily. What about the Theological Seminary at { Due West? Did it ever prosper under tbe | barroom system as it has grown and pros, pered under the dispensary? It would do the r Synod good Just to sit down and look at It t grow. Tbe Associate Reformed Cburcb no j doubt thought Its Instrumentality will bave E tbe beathen for an Inheritance or a tax as j the case may be. Tbe Catholics of Mexico < will soon be knocked down out of business. ] 1 What about the bank at Duo Weet? Was anything of tbe kind ever thought of when , we had barrooms? No. Under the dlspen- j ' sary the bank at Due West has grown and j 1 flourished like a gieen bay tree besides tbe j 1 waters. People under the dispensary deposit , : their money In it. Tbe bank lends It to cus* 5 tomers, and the stock holders reap a good 1 profit. Its stock Is worth peihaps two dol- , 1 lars for every dollar of Its full value. Did j J anything of the kind ever happen to Due , r West before we had the dispensary? ( I What about Donalds? With Its bank, with , Its oil mill, with Its ttorei, with Its fine , - houses, together with Its numerous citizen3 ship, It haB grown to be almost a city. We 3 believe it now haB a court house bee In its i bonnet. Did any thing ofthe kind ever occur 1 to Donalds before the dispensary? Answer 3 for yourself. 8 Now, what have yen to say about Mr s Roper's little old North Carolina town? d d Unless you do something to encourage bus,r lness the town might Just as well be labeled and laid away for future reference. % \ / i t / / EAST END. fhat "M" Sees and Hears on His 'I > A'l.

Arborvltae trees and lm? lacalate white rabbits were set out In great rofuMon. The trees have taken root and iem to grow and to do falrJy well, but tbe on rabbits seem to have been dissatisfied 1th their environment, and, without a word : warning, they folded their tents and stole pay to nobody knows where. It Is possible latthey took exception to the manner In blch tbe dogs In town and in country treat1 them on their arrival. It Is not known ow many of tbe canine family treated them, Dt only with contempt, but with actual boa" Uty. It 1b known, however, that some dogs high or low degree, we know not which, imped on tbe little unoffending bunmes and ;t them sorely. Tbe iaol that the beautiful hlte rabbits were of cold cast lroh, and not living flesh and warm red biood, never iwned on the canine mind until after the , ttle bunnle had been bitten. Other dogs ime along, after tbe fCciet was out, an rered tbe little rabbits all sorts of contempt disrespect. Sure enough, actual rabbits are sensitive to suit, and refuse to stay wbere they are not eated with kindness and respect. This faot By have Influenced the Iron rabbits.

When we started the 111 which was built, nearly every man la wn subscribed Btock. It was built largely r Mr. Vlsanska, Mr. W. C. McUowan, Mr. S. Barnwell and Mr. Aug. W. Smith taking e lead, when nearly all the^poor folk lu ' - '.1 wn lent a helping band. Let tbe rich lead ;aln and we will help anybody that, haa 1th In himself. No manufactrirlng enter lse, when properly managed, Is as sure Of >od results. Almost any old town can build mill, and we know of no reason why Abbe- ' 'r; lie should not have another mill. There -e, too, some mighty good paying officers mnected with a mill, namely: A president id a book keeper. Mr. Bailey put in 910,000 id was made president Mr. Harris put In ,000 and? was made book keeper. Mr. Mcllian put in a good sum and be made tbe rick for tbe house. Some men put In land, id took pay in stock. When 183,000 was lbscrlbed a contract for a $42,000 mill bouse as let, tbe contractor agreed take $1,000 ' stock. The Seaboard Air Line could not ,ke stock but gave $1,000 to push It along nd then built a side track costing a little ver 81,000. : .. v ? Let the new mill be organized. There are lany young men In town wbooould make a lccess of it. If we raise a reasonable amount s earnest money, we can get all the foreign ipltal we need. No man need be afraid of le out-of-town stock holders. They want v/ viuwc! ?uu iueir aia and advice is worth II. Mrs Willie Mortan and two of her 0D8 spent several days of last week a the city with her sister Mrs Rob- , rt Hill, they returned to their lorne in Due West Saturday. What about Uncle Sam's big Post )ft'ice for Abbeville? its projectors eem to have vejily gone to sleep, mt tis hoped not tbat sleep that mows no waking' Keep in heart t will be built "sooner, or later''. IF WE KNEW. If we knew the careB and crosses Crowded' round our neighbor's way, If we knew the little losses Sorely grievous day by day, Would we tbea so often chide blm For the sake of thrift and gain? Leaving on his heart a shadow, Leaving on our heart a stain? If we knew that clouds above us Held our gentle blessings there. Would we turn away all trembllug, In our blind and weak despaii? Would we shrink from little shadows, Lying on the dewy urass, While tis only birds of Eden, Just in mercy flying pasli If we knew the silent story Quivering through the heart of pain. n.nmont>A~< J tuu'u ' uaiu uuvm lUBtn Buck to haunts or vice and shame?
