PAY OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

There is no more responsible office in
the County than that of County Com
missioner. There is no officer who is
harder worked, cursed louder and paid
more grudgingly than he. The fnan-
cal conduct Of the County is upon his
shoulders. With the caro- Of over five
million dollars worth of property and
the actual manipulation Of from twelve
to twenty thousand dollars they arc Civ
On the miserable pittancc Of about two
hundred and forty dollars n piece per
annum. Is this an incentive for men Of
financial ability to attend to the affairs
Of a County? And it must be admitted
that only such as have financial ability
and sound judgment should be allowed
to occupy the Office. 1t will be answer-
ed that there are plenty of men ready
and willing to take the Office at the sal
ary given-but that is not the question.
The County should command the best
business talent in it and until she pays
we'll for it she need not expect to get il.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS

Are you disturbed at night and bro
ken OF your rest by a sick child suffer
ing and crying with pain Of cutting
teeth ? If so, send at once and get a
bottle of Mrs. WINsLow's SOOTHING SYR-
UP FOL CHILDREN T~EETHING. It's value
is incalculablc. 1t will relieve the poor
little sufferer Immediately. Depend up
on it, mothers, there is no mistake about
it. 1t cures dysentcry and diarrhoa, re-
gulatcs the stomach and bowels, cures
wind collie, softens the gums, reduces in
fiammation, and gives tone and energy to
the whole system. MRS. WISsLow:s
SOOTHING SYRUP o CHILDREN TEETH
mo is pleasant to the taste, and is the
prescription Of one Of the oldest and best
female nurses and physicians in the
United States, and is for sale by all

THE NEW RAIL ROAD TO WEIR
Derry.

In another column will be found the
proceedings Of AT interesting meeting of
our citizens called to do the wind work
Of a new enterprise. The meeting was
composed Of some Of Il very best citi-
zcns, the material out Of which strong
combinations arc made for earnest and
successful work.
With the c. g. G. r. r. draining with
its stations the trade Of the Eastern part
Of the County, the A.. &. X. II. r. the
Southwestern part and tho $. Y. r. r.
about to be completed, the Western part
the necessity for Abbevillo town to be
up and doing to save itself from utter
humiliation is apparent. If something
is not done the whole place will shrivel
and dry up and an carly gust Of wind
will blow it into unknown space.
The road to Vcrdcry is by far the
most practicable. 1t will cost probably
ten OF twelve thousand dollars which
can be easily raised by citizens Of Able
willie and Smithvlllc townships and by
contributions from Augusta. 1t will
give us connection then with tho Geor-
gia Central and enable our merchants TO
compete with Greenwood to a much
greater advantage. The necessity is not
one Of passenger travel but one Of
freight. With our local line We arc at
the mercy Of the Clyde syndicate,
whereas Greenwood open to competition
between this syndicate and the Georgia
Central can get through competitive
rates from the far West enabling its
merchants to sell goods at a better profit
than elsewhere in the County.

The Governor in his message calls at
tcntion to the fact that provision should
be made towards payment Of the inter
est on the public debt in advance Of tax
cs, and that the contracts Of the State
should be met promptly at maturity so
that thereby claimants would not be re-
guircd to shave their claims. SO it
should be done with County matters.
