We have unlocked all doors and throwi away all the keys from the front door U the pantry. Come in and stay a month Some people in North Carolina anc South Carolina sold ootton to aWilmingtoi firm at 10 cents to be dalivered this fall rnl ? ? fhp nnt.ton luey uun iciudo w um>v> ? "Though he to Mb hurt hath sworn wil not break hie plighted word" is a text thai ootton men should ponder well before en tering a oontract. It is to be hoped that ? the WUmlngtou firm will bring thest people before the courts and that the juriet will be men enough to make them pay th< last farthing: of the difference .in price 01 batter still, deliver the cotton at 10 cents par pound. Did you know that rotton corn was used in making whiskey, and that distillation did not kill the Pelagra bug, and that Pelagra may be contracted by drinking corn whiskey? And do you not think that this is a ten strike for prohibition?but there's rye. . ? A news note say4 that the Post Office site at Union has been selected after a bitter loca! controversy. Why can we not get up a controversy and select a site here in Abbeville. We can beat the world on "hanging fire". Let's prime the tube, put on a new cap, and have another try. Governor Comor delivered a "sockdoliger" to the inquisitive one who asked him why he was so strongly in favor of prohibition. The Governor said that 'he was a Drohibltionist because one and one-hall percent of the population of Alabama are convict* and that this is due to Liquor. No this is not the "400" you have read about It is the Antipodes of that "400" this inoomparision with that is as "Hyi perion to a Satyr". That Jeffeys-Johnson fight will be fought on July 4,1910. The prize is $101,000 and two-thirds the moving picture receipts. Civilized people here will be glad to know hat the mill will grind on, the other side of the Rockies at San Francisco. $94000 was paid last week for a seat on \ the Cotton Exchange, Now York. And ,yet they say there is no graft in the Cotton Exchange. Does it look reasonable to you that a man would pay ?94,000, for something that would bring him no revenue? It is reported that several whiskey houses will boycott South Carolina. Quite a shocking loss, but if they boycott South Carolina blind tigers the commonwealth will .manage somehow, to worry along without them.?The State. Too good to be true. The State of South Carolina boyootted by the Devil! Oh no, his satanlc majesty has put In too much work here to throw up the sponge at this late day. France, too, has a quarrel with Zelaya It Is singular how these international* quarrels pop up just at the moment when some little county is about to be sacrificed. The city council of Anderson has issued a lioense for the erection of a brand new Gas plant, The old established concerns, The Daily Mali and the Intellinger, will continue business as formerly. $2. 500 worth of kisses were sold last Sunday by 20 likely damsels to all comers at Turner Hall, Coitago. The osculation bout was to lift a dr,bt from a church. The price was 25 cents and up. Just imagine the kissing bugs that would be spread by such a kissing bee. Ladies Aid Sooieties please take note. Railroad, your name Is Ichabod, your glory has departed. The Auto makes faster time und kills more people. Who says that Magistrate, Timothy Lall, and deputy sheriff, Carl Swink, who were caught red handed running a stl?l in North Carolina did not have the law on their side? The new law against drawing checks for amounts under one dollar, which was passed at the last session of the National Legislature and which goes into effect in January 1,1910, will seriously affect some of us who have only 95 cents in the bank.

Mr. Quarles is a favorite in Abbeville, and for that matter wherever he is known. While we have not the pleasure of acquaintance with his bride, we will assume responsibility for saying that a young man of such splendid qualities, such business ability and such attractive personal appearance could but win the prettiest and happiest of brides. Mrs. Quarles nee Miss Gillilan is from i Aberdeen Mississippi. She is from one of the best familes of that good old state, second only to South Carolina,' Abbeville 1 most heatily welcomes the flower of Mis sissippi, and a cordial greeting is extended to the happy pair. i > Midnight Fire Monday Night. On Monday night the house in which Mr. May lived, belonging to Mr. W. D. Barksi dale was discovered to be wraped in flames t The fire had made such headway that Mr. May's family were lucky to get out with. out injury. Little time given to save I furniture and house hold goods and little k was saved. Mr. Eustace Bradley said that the t house was completely wrapped in flames i before the inmates knew it was on fire. > He sent In a telephone alarm from the ) home of Mr. Lawrence Parker. 1 An egg of the great auk, recently sold for thousanes of dollars, and now madam hen is becoming jealous and is trying to I make cnrios out of her product.

THE FIKST THANKSGIVING DAY. The Pilgrims first lived in England. But the king would not let them worship like they wanted to. He said if they did not worship like he wanted them to he would put tnem In prison. So the Pilgrims said this will never do so they went to .Holland. And the people in Holland ;liked them. And treated them very kindely. Bat the children trot to talkincr their language and manners. And very much like them. And the Pilgrims said this will never do. So some of brave men said, let us go across {the ocean tc the new land caled America. Let us live in a country that will be our own. O they said just think of the long jour, ney. What danger it will be. I And we canaot get enough food. i And our little ones will get tired! Others said even if we all live to reach ' it. And there would be nobody to wel- j come us there. No friends no food no 1 white people. But "William bradford said God will take care of us we will go. So , they got to ships. They were named the I Mayflower and the speed well. So they ' started out in 1620. But their ship speed well was leaking. And the sailors called ! out leak leak. We must turn back. Andl they turned back to Holland. And again I they turned back to America. And the J ehildren would get home sick and cry. It ' was only one thing to amuse them. , And that was when they would cry their ' mothers would let them play with the baby that was born on the ship. This , baby was named Oceano. And just before they landed another baby was born. It j was named Pergrine. One morning the 1 salars caled out land laud. And the Pilgrims .said we must thank God for his kindness. The women said let us have a^ great Thanksgiving party ana invite tne Indians . So every body agreed, The men hunted the boys fished the < women baked cakes, all the Indians that was invited came. ] At the end of the party Squanto poured j out some popcorn and they et it. And then tney thanked God. ( And that was the first Thanksgiving day. i Ever Kerr e 8. Stubbs Gilmer Mr. Fred Stubbs and Miss Bottie Lot Gilmer were married at the Methodist parsonage by Rev.

Football is perhaps, the most exciting of all games, because it Js more nearly akin to the primitive battle. And if the rules of the game can be so revised^as not necessarily to endanger the iife or limbs of fKa nioTOi- flmro wnvlH Vto nr> disnosition 5 to protest against it. The boys who represent football teams and especially college teams, are usually the best specimens of physical manhood; ? and so they cannot be wanting in mental i ability. Taken as a whole, the college r teams are probably composed of boys . abovelthe average intelligence, even of ? college students. The life then, even of one of these young men weighs more in 3 the estimation of calmer and older heads, I than the entertainment of the world ber side. ; Think, then of thirty bright American ? boys that were killed and sixty-nine more . maimed for life in three short months, all . in the name of public entertainment. It sounds like the record of a battle. , The rules must be revised, or foot ball I must surely go. ( 50 BirdsMessrs Allen Long and Wade Cothran went shooting in the Hat wobds for a day j last week.
