Have NC Boilers and Sore Heads
Among Us!

A umo was floating in our streets yes
fcrday evening that 4 meeting was tn be
held last night for the purpose OF organ
ling another Democratic club III our
kown. For the sake of good Democracy
Hc hope the rumor was unfoundcd. Alb
Pevilie already has a we'll organized club
] hose doors are wide enough and whose
dimensions are ample enough to accom-
nodate all good Democrats. We need nc
Sther club here. There is no limit to the
membership roll of the club already in
f%Nistence, and its officers are men whose
cad all good citizens should be willing
! o follow. No doubt we had q second
Hub here in Ca young mems club;'
but the new club spoken of cannot pro-
3cSs to be a revival of Club No. ., for its
members assisted in the reorganization
Pf Club No. l this year and one of them
BAT rs L delegate therefrom in the County
Convention. It cannot be a young mems
Il ub, for the club already existing is pre-
fded over by q young man, and young
EN- are represented in it to q prepondcr-
s. ling degree. Besides, nc public sum-
onS has lren given to the young men
the town-Of whom we ourselves are L
Fart; and surely if the purposes Of the
fumorcd club are fair and pure, the or
kanization should not be kept secret.
No advertisement, no placard, no circular,
30 far rs We know has been issued calling
*-oung men to the meeting.
! There are many objections to the form
3ti0n of q second club here, not to speak
IF it's uSclessneSs. 1t would be unfair To
The county clubs, many Of whom out
humber the Abbeville club. The seven
Iotcs in the County Convention to when
q would he entitled would give Abbevllle
Undue influence. Already Abbevillc has
utlicicnt weight and influence in the
Eounty Convention. and we are undl>-
4Oscd to favor any movement that would
Increase that influence and crowd out mt
$eigh down the influence of the country
delegates. If Abbevillc have fourteen
oteS WHY should not C~okcsbury or
Greenwood or Ninctv-SiX have fourteen
bach? In Justice to the other clubs IN the
ounty, no second club should be formed
&erc. even if the 0ttler. local CLUBS were
billing to give the Court House so great
IN a advantage. So,
We sec no good reason fer q new club;
Ind only one reason-eSplanatorv if not
~nod-suggests itself. If we had boilers
nd soreheids among us, &c could ar-
ount for such a movement. There are

Arrested for DEMONSTRATING.

A man by the name of Davis was arrested a
day or two ago near M~allorysville in this
county charged with stealing Il horse from
Mr.. Cochran. 1t appears that he carried the
horse over to South Carolina and sold him.
Some parties tracked the horse to where he
was sold. and having recovered him, returned
and had Davis arrested. We understand they
intend to take him toSouth Carolina for iden-

Where 1t Never Rains.

In Peru, South America, rain is I'M
known. The coast of Peru is within
the region of perpetual southeast trade
winds, and, though the Peruvian shores
are on the verge of the great southeast
boiler, yet it never rains there. The
reason is plain. The southeast trade
winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike
the water on the coast of Africa. Tray
cling to the northwest they blow
obliquely across the ocean until they
reach the coast of Brazil By this time
they are laden with vapor, which they
continue to bear along across the con-
tinent, depositing it as they go, and
supplying with it the sources of the Rio
de la Plata and the southern tributaries
Of the Amazon. Finally they reach the
snow-capped Andes; here is wrung
the last particle of moisture that very
low temperature can attract. Reaching
the summit of that range, they now
tumble down as cool and dry winds on
the Pacific slope beyond. Meeting
with no evaporating surface and no tenn
perature colder than that to which they
were subjected on the mountain tops,
they reach the ocean. Thus we see how
the tops of the Andes become the reser-
voir from which are supplied the rivers
of Chill and Peru-San Francisco

little girl, softly, for she had been told
by her grandmother-the only person
who had ever been kind to her, andwhe
was now dead-that whenever a stal
falls, an immortal spirit returns to the
God who gave it.
She struck yet another match against
the wall; it famed up, and, surrounded
by its light, appeared before her that
same dear grandmother, gentle and low
ing as always, but bright and happy as
she had never looked during her life
time.
Grandmother" cried the child
" Oh, take me with you! I know you
will leave me as soon as the match goes
out; you will vanish like the warm fire
in the stove-like the beautiful large
Christmas tree!" and she hastily light
ed all the remaining matches in the
bundle lest the grandmother should
disappear.
And the matches burned with such a
blaze of splendor that MONDAY could
scarcely have been brighter. Never had
the good grandmother looked so tall
and stated -so beautiful and kind; she
took the little girl in her arms, and they
both flew higher and higher till they
were in that place where neither cold,
nor hunger nor pain is ever known

But in the cold morning hour,
crouching in the corner of the wall, the
Door little girl was found-her lips still
smiling frozen to- death on the last
night of the old year. The New Years
sVan shone on the lifeless child; motion
less she sat there, with the matches in
her lap, one bundle of them quite burnt
out.
"She has been trying to warm her
self, poor thing!" the people said, but
no ONE knew of the sweet visions she
had beheld, or how gloriously she and
her grandmother were celebrating their
New Years festival Christian
