THANKSGIVING.
1. Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to
sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant j
and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth up Joreusalem; he
gathereth to-gether the out-casts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and
v bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; He
calleth them ail by their names.
5 Great is our Lord and of great power
his understanding is infiuite.
. \ 6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth
the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God.
8 WHO covereth the heavans with clouds,
. -who prepareth rain for the earth, who
maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to
: the young ravens which cry.
. . 10 He delighteth not in the strength of
the horse, he taketh not pleasure in the
v-lege of a man.
' 11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them
that fear him, in those that hope in his
mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, praise
thy God, 0 Zlon.
13 For he has strengthened the bars of
thy gates, he has blest thy children within
thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders and
lilleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
0 TTa flonHofh fnrfh hie mmmondmPntA
upon the earth: his word runneth very
'' i swiftly.
j 16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth
the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He castoth forth his ice like morsels:
Who can stand before his cold?
18 He sendeth out his word and meeteththem:
hecauseth his winds to blow
and the waters flow.
19 He showeth his word unto Jacob,
his statuesand his judgements unto Israel
20 He hath hot dealt so with any nation;
and as for his judgements, they have
not known them. Praise ye the Lord.

I Rev. P B. Wells goes to Kentuckyj
Rev. P. B. Wells, Pastor of the St. John's
Methodist church of Anderson, vrho so
acceptably filled the Pulpit of the Methodist
church here for a number of years has
' .> been transfered to the Louisville, Ky. Conference.
He goes to take the place of Rev.
R. B. Smart, resigned. Dr. Smart is out of
active work on account of his health. He
was once a member of this conference.
Mr. Wells paid Abbeville a flying visit
Ion last Saturday bidding good bye to numbers
of friends.
The church to which Mr. Wells has been
called is one of the best in the South. While
we are sorry to see him leave the State
still we feel that he is the man for the
larger field. He is a good Shepherd.

There were no padded returns from
Abbeville howeverMontgomery,
Ala,Nov. 15.? As the result
of a personal visit by Gov. Comer to
nearly all the saloons in the city last night,
in many of which he witnessed the sale of
beer and whiskey, in violation of the prohibition
laws, wholesale raids were made
this afternoon and before sundown it is
estimated that $35,000 worth of liquor had
been carted away by officers. The raids
followed a conference between the governor
and sheriff Hood, but what transpired
at the conference could not be learned.
Gov. Comer seems to be a live wire. He
is to be commended in doing the things required
of him by his oath of office. Some
may think he is overstepping the boundaries
of his duties in thus. making personal
inspection of the capital but he is' not.
The laws of his state are being broken and
I it is the Governors duty to stop it if possible.

The Great Fear
The first mark of civilization is the teniencv
in man to provide for his household,
to increase his estate, to lay aside for a
rainy day,
This sentiment does not enter into the
psychology of the savage. He docs not
faro for riches. If he has gold it is because
he likes to look at it, not for its
intrinsic value.
Tho more civilized a man becomes the
more evident is the propensity to stint
and save and build up an estate. Without
such a propensity, civilized people would
be worth little mure than savage people
iu wealth.
But the cost to civilization is great.
Work does not harm any one. It is a
medicine, a panacea for many ills, but
worry kills, and yet we must worry.
Civilization demands of the young man
that he build him up an estate-make
money-else he is a failure. To meet these
demands to-day millions of men are
striving. They are standing by their
work with every muscle tense to the
breaking point, with glaring eyes fixed on
the goal-fortune. They do not see their
fellows in the light. Only their own fortunes
interest them. They have no time
to relax, to look around, to take a deep
breath, to enjoy life. The fortune must be
made.
And over thousands of troubled hearts
comes the horrid fear of failure. In theii
associations with one another they mention
hot this fearful haunt that dogs each
day of their existence, and yet nine out ol
ten see this spectre and know him as an
acquaintance. Men talk witn one anotner
they exchange confidences, they joke, bul
not once does one ask the other whethei
or not he sees the haunt.
To drop beneath his station, to fall shorl
of accomplishing what his friends, hit
brothers, his kinsmen accomplish, looks
to the average man like failure. Could
the minds of men be opened prominenl
in their machinery would bo found this
ruling passion to get money and around
it and about it the ever present fear ol
failure. N
One reason the words "honesty" and
"dishonesty" are so prominent in civilized
tongues is due to the "haunt." Men iu
their mad reach for riches are prone tc
fall into questionable practices, forgetting
every thing but that they must become
wealthy. They would get rid of tht
haunt.
But we should remember that even
when a man has gained his goal this
haunting fear of failure and penury does
not leave him. The phantom still remains
in the fear of losing what he has made.
There are to-day peoplo in our Pooi
Houses who are bettor satisfied with theii
existence than are some' of our richest
men. The phantom doen't worry them
else they would not be where they are.
But we have called this fear a phantom,
when it is not a phantom. It is as real as
life. It stalks by our side, it walks witc
you to your work, it follows you ho:ne at
night. It even visits you in your dreams
and it is real. It shows you the gray
hairs in your head and then shows you
the thiness of your poor pocket book. It
calls attention to your stiffening joints
and points out the hovering cloud of a
coming rainy day. It points you to youi
fat neighbor and tells you "hustle." A
relentless, ever present, harrowing goad,
Bridge.
This is about the "bridgiost" town this
side of Venice. Bridge is a new disease
It affects women mostly, men being rarely
subject to the trouble.
The disease is not difficult of diagnosis
Like malarial fever it is intermittent
Sometimes the spasms come once a week,
but frequently twice a week and in acutc
cases they come on daily. Most of the
invalids afflicted with the disease here
have it in the acute form.
The symptoms are marked by extreme
nervousness. In the mornings it would
be difficult fo tell that any thing is wrong
orith fha notion! hilt. tnwflrH thft ftffcflrnonn
the poor afflicted one will dart out from
amidst her household gods, hide herself
under the biggest hat in the house and
scuttle away from home like a hermit
crab on a hunt for fiddlers.
The disease is especially severe in that
It attacks so many housewives. In such
cases the children of the household find
it encumbent on them to take care ol
themselves as best they can, for when the
spasm comes on the mind of the poor patient
is a blank so far aF the home is concerned.
This absolute forgetfulness of
the home lasts sometimes for hours, and
in most every case until the 6pasm is over.
Patients have been known to leave infants
at home to get along as best they
uould, until the mental aberration had
been dissipated.
Une striking characteristic of the disease
is that those afflicted with it gravitate to
each other. While the spasm lasts they
are insensible to the [proximity of any person
not afflicted. Not even the husband
of a wife who is in this state suffices to
distract her mind from Hie clutches of
Bridge.
Diagnosticians have traced the cause
of this disease to a lack of wholesome
work. The trouble is peculiar to conjested
districts, the rural districts being
nrnpfinnllv fron frnm itfl r>lnt.f?hpK Thftfifi
women who are thoroughly conversant
with the kitchen and active in the nursery
seem to be entirely immune. The more
serious find the hopeless cases come from
among those women who rise late and
who are delicate about house work. The
treatment is evident from the diagnosis.
Much sincere sympathy is felt for the
afflicted families and while the disease is
generally conceded to be very difficult of
,'ure a movement is being proposed to
alleviate the burden distressed families
by the introduction of volunteer nurses.
The State Board of health not having
mentioned the disease at its last meeting
eads us to believe that it is more prevaent
in this vicinity than elsewhere; for if it
ivere making inroads in other parts of the
state as it is here it would surely have demanded
attention.

HOW THE MISSISSIPPI SOMETIMES

Captain King of Greenville Tells Hon

Thousand Dollars' Worth of Kis Tropertj j
In One Nl[jht.
s "No use talking, the Mississippi river ii
.. tho most contrary tiling on earth," re"e
marked CaptaiD S. II. King of Greenville,
Miss. "During tho civil war, it will be
remembered, thcro was a double bend, j
much In tho shapo of the letter S, of the j
* river at Vicksburg. General Grant, you j
(* know, wanted to changc tho course of the
it river by cutting a channel through De i
' Soto peninsula, thus cutting off the upper I
r, bend and causing tho river to flow straight J
across below Vicksburg and leading the j
town high and dry. Grant could then |
have sent his gunboats by Vicksburg and
1(1 escaped the shelling from tho upper batteries
of the Confederates north of the
town. He put General McCiernand and
'several thousand men to work at cutting
s this channel across tho poninsula in front
II of the town, and thoy worked for 6ome
g time, notwithstanding tho harassment
i from tho lower batteries of the enemy.
18 But tho contrary rivet wouldn't show the
,( least desire of accepting such an artificial
i, channel anyway. Tho plan was finally
,1 abandoned and Grant's gunboats had to
t. make the run before both the upper and
i-i lower batteries. But in 1876 tho Missis
c. sippi river, of its own accord, cut its way
across I)o Soto peninsula bolow Vieks
" burg, but farther up than Grant's artificial
?' channel was started. De Soto peninsula

u water in front of Vicksburg is now known
i- as Centennial hike, taking tbo namo from

" engineers and how it follows it? own stubj

D "13y the way, the Mississippi washed
i- several thousand dollars out of my pocket
In ono ::ight about 15 years ago. 4 At that
ie timo I owned a row of houses which began
almost three blocks away from the river
In Greenville, Miss. One day a government
engineer said to inc, 'Tho river will
y some timo wash away its bank here, and
t your buildings will tumble in.'
ir "Well, I' laughed at him. Tho bank
n was 75 feet high, and, besides, the river
id was quito low. Ono morning I awoke to
' s learn that thero had been a big cave In of
'i the river bank tho night before, and that
| a oouple of my buildings had been carried
^ awny. I joined tho crowd of people that
y rushed to the river bank to see thi6 der
etruction, and, I tell yoa, I never apirraointori
il m torrlhlo nower of tho Fa the!
>e of Waters until I witnessed this scene.
n While I was standing thcro talking with
friends another big slice of land, a block
in width, crumbled away and fell into the
river, carrying with it several more of my
buildings. You can imagine how I felt,
y because I had been drawing an income of
$1,000 a month in rentals from my buildIngs.
Now over half of them were a mass
,'(l of debris floating down the river, and my
t real estato was only so much dirt in ths
y bottom of the channel.
(i "As I stood there watching my build
lngs and ground slip away into tho river
a citizen approached mo and said,'Capt
tain, I'll give you f 1,600 for the remainder
of your property.'
" 'No, I'll not take less than 12,000,'
said I.
"The words had no more than left my
[t. tongue when there was another cave in,
r? and two moro of my lots and buildings
i- tumbled into tho greedy river. The citizen
li. then remarked to mo, 'Captain, I'll give
>*' you ? 1,000 for yo ur property now.'
!i" "I refused to entertain this proposition,
* which, of course, was a pure speculation,
as no human agency could stop the cave
[g In. Pretty soon another one of my lota
;t and its building went into tho river, and
my speculative friend then offered mo $800
y, for tho remainder of my property. Ey this
ie tlmo I had coneludcd to trust to luck and
stand all losses, and I refused to sell at
^ any prlco. I now had ono lot end one
L building left. During the excitement au
old colored woman curno up and suld to
me:
" 'See heah, cap'n, will ye give mo dem
j brick what's In dat cellar under yer
house?'
d "I told her sho could have tho brick. J
had a pile of new brick in tho ccllar1 under
2- my only remaining house. The old colli
ored woman gavo her husband 26 cents
to biro a team and wagon to haul away
(' the brick. Now, upon my word of honor,
|e what I am now going to Bay is truo.
(j While tho old colored man was gono for a
j. wagon another cavo in occurred, and mj
t_ last house and lot, brick and cellar and
all, tumbled iuto the; river. Tho cavo in
is eame so suddenly thpt tho crowd of people
ie standing on the bank had to ilco for their
)' lives. After tho excitement had somewhat
l? subsided the old eolored woman exclaimed:
" 'Laws o' massy 1 Dere's my brick in
de bottom o' do i-ibbcr, an I dono los' my
[ , quatah.'
>t "Of course, while tho old woman was
y out 26 cents, I was out nnolhcr $1,000.

efforts wero being made to place a long
