IDLE TALK.
Abbeville Medium, Nov. 20, 1890.
“A good deal of talk is now going
than the nickel.
The United States Express Com-
j pany has issued orders to its agents
to receive no money, tickets, or lists
* of drawings from the Louisiana Lot
tery Company, or in any way aid in
the transaction of the lottery busi
ness,
Clerk McPherson of the National
j House of llepresentatives, says a
"Washington special, has just had
printed an unofficial list of the
membere-elect of the next House,
showing 88 Republicans, 234 Demo
crats, and 8 Farmers’ Alliance. One
district, the twenty-eighth of New
York, is set down as uncertain, and
one, the second Rhode Islad,
marked vacant.

The Only Good Thing He Said.
Beast Tillman in his Inaugu
ral, referring to the office of Railroad
Commissioner, said:
“We need the best men for the
place, let them come from where
they may, and let us hope that as
there was absolute obliteration of the
line between low country and up
country in the last campaign, and
the reform wave swept from the
mountains to the sea, so may the
Democrats who won and those who
lost bear and forbear with each oth
er, and locking shields again, as be
comes brethren and Carolinians, for
get and forgive the bitterness which
has been engendered. Let us, in
future: know no sectional line in the
State, and in selecting men for posi
tions of honor and trust ask not
whether a candidate is a “Reformer”
or not, but whether he is the best
man for the place. Democracy and
- fitness alone should determine the
matter.”
If the above advice is followed two
years from now not a single
now in the State House will be al
lowed to remain there. Will it

A Georgia editor says that a man the Governor’s office

out'of a year’s subscription would
giye a nickel with a hole in it to the
foreign missionary fund, and then on the Democrats ‘ getting to

It is idle because the man who voted
against the September nominees at
the recent election forfeited all claim
to belong to the Democratic party.
He went out of the party and can no
longer be regarded as a Democrat.
He can’t get together. Bolting is
an unpardonable political sin. The
rule is that the party door should al
ways be open to new converts, but
forever closed against bolters. The
talk is premature because these bol
ters have not asked to come back, but
say they are satisfied with their
course. They have not repented
their evil deeds. They are still con
tumacious and it would be best to
let them stay with their Republican
allies until they see the enormity of
their offence. 'What assurance have
the people that these men will not
leave the party again if they are re
stored? (What assurance have the
people that yon will not again go
back to your first love if yon could
get an “appointment that will pay
well” ?—Ed. Herald.) They may
bolt again when the majority does
not submit to their dictation, and
they might do more harm at some
peculiar crisis. As matters stand,
the Republicans don’t want them
and won’t have them. The Demo
cratic party has demonstrated that
it can get along without them and
in spite of them. So far as Abbeville
county is concerned we feel sure that
it will be many yetfrs before the
bolters can regain the confidence of
the Democratic party in the connty
and never again be elevated to posi
tions of honor and influence.”

Dear Sir:—Presuming that a va
cancy may be caused in the Judgship
of this Circuit by the nomination of
Judge Orr as Minister to Russia, I
write to solicit your influence in my
behalf in securing that position if
made vacant. I was admitted to
practice in this State in 1866, and
since that lime have practiced in the
courts of this State and Texas. For
the last two years I have held office
under the administration as Trial
Justice. In the event 6f an election
for Judge I will stand before the
Legislature fairly and squarely upon
the Republican platform.
If you can, consistent with what
you regard just und proper, aid me
in this matter, I will consider myself
placed under many obligations and
will be happy to reciprocate the favor
whenever opportunity offers.
I have the honor to be

expect too much. All this talk
_about great and necessary
was for the purpose of catching votes.
The present legislature will make
no great reforms. They will do
nothing that will relieve the people
of taxation, just Itecause they are un
able to afford relief. ’The* interest
on the State and Connty bonds has
to be paid and the current expenses
have to lie provided for. The rate
of taxation will vary very little from
what it has been for several years,
There will be many changes in offi
ces and appointments. Tillmanites
are aspiring to all the offices from
United States Senator to Trial Jus
tice. It is probable that there will
be a new deal. There are plenty of
new candidates to go round. But
the real reforms needed will hardly
be carried out It is not expected
that workmen will build better than
they know. The present Legislature
is no wiser than past ones have been.
They ape not specially skilled in a
deep and profound know ledge of the
criminal law, the best systems of tax

and capital, the best system of keep

Dear Sir :—The Governor’s proc
lamation appointing me Coronor for
this county was received some days
ago.
I would have acknowledged the
receipt sooner but have been sick.
Thank His Excellency for me.
Very respectfully,

pointment that would pay well.

is the handsomest number we have
ever seen of this excellent magazine
a hint of what may be expected for
1891, which will be its fiftieth anni

page is an enchanting little fellow,
and the steel and full-page wood
engravings are very beautiful. The
opening illustrated article, “Some Ice
Caruival Sketches,” is in Harriet
Latham’s sprightliest vein. “A

story we have ever read from Edgar
Fawcett’s facile pen. “From Christ

with a series of admirable illustra

are only a few of the number’s at

letter gives the newest fashion chit
chat, and the colored plate and other
designs the latest styles for out-door
and home wear. The needle-work
