startles the slumbering town with the dis

then fees with precipitate haste and
boisterous laughter, to hide away, and by
and by venture back again to wake the
echoes, growing holder and holder when
no one comes, until at last, with perfect
unrestraint, he shivers the air until the
sun comes up, and, by rousing to life OF

patriotism, or NOW sWath through
battling columns and die protecting the
body OF fallen chief or king-is no longer
emulated by fathers in real life, in their
own persons nor is it looked upon with
especial favor by them when exhibited by
sons; indee,l, in most cases, it appears to
have become distasteiul to fathers to see
their sons shoot Off their ears and main
themselves in working off, with cannon and
crackers, the wild frenzy OF their patriotic
devotion.
Old maids and old bachelors-two classes
OF people totally unlike and yet in whom
there appears a strange analogy-are,
equally, with fathers and mothers, averse
to Fourth-oi-Julys. The explanation OF
their dsafiection probably lies in the
fact that their temperaments won't stand
the racket.
To tell the truth, the pleasures Of Fourth
OF July seem, to the greater part OF the
race, idealistic and illusory; there is a sort
OF effort to get some fun out OF what isn't
bit funny. 1t is like iooling with an
electrical machine. So that the only por
ton OF the population to whom the
Fourth OF July comes with real unadulter-
ated delight is the young-and this means
especially
Christmas ia more properly the girls
holiday, but the Fourth eminently belongs
to the boys. There is no doubt that in
the Fourth OF July "Young America "
finds iullness OF ioy-an illimitable, alb
sorbing, satisfying pleasure-that knows
no counterpart. That this Joy is peculiar
to and inseparable from the day itself ID
manifest from the fact that there is not a
cents worth OF fun in firing fire-crackers
the day after the Fourth, and the only
enjoyment that attaches to it week OF
so before is in anticipation OF the surpass
ing Joy to come. This anticipation is like
that which precedes picnic or a schoo
vacation, ouly magnied to about th'
four-hundredth power.
There never was a boy vet in the full
vigor OF boys tireless physical possible

who did not wish further that every day

ABBEVILLE'S ADVANTAGES

Senator Butler it is said is in favor OF
both an Agricultural College, pure and
simple, and a Constitutional Convention
and believes that on entire change Of our
County Government is necessary, while
Farmer Tillman advocates or, atleast is
Impressed with the advantages Of loca-
ting this college at Lethc in this County.
No better place can be selected, it is
central, and adapted to all the require
ments of an Experimental Farm. The
crops of both the low country and up
country can be tested here and every
inducement should be offered to secure
the college to our County and bestow up
on the organizers Of it, advantages which
they will not find elsewhere.

MIR. TILLMANs SPEECH

Mr.. Tillmans speeches throughout
Che State we hope have accomplished
much good. He has certainly been bene-
fitted by them. for two things are very
apparent. lie c onfcsscE himself, that his
numerous pddrc 7ses have made him
more familiar with extemporancous
speaking and We certainly discover a
more. conservative temper and consider
nte feeling in his last address unlike
any which baye hi therto emanated from
hiE. and it is quite likely that he has
discovered that the TRADE which he has
sauugnraied against every body and
especially against professional men, has
proved unworthy ofhim and improbable
to the cause which he champions. This
has been tho objection to pnblishinghis
letters, they were filled with abuse Of
and opposition to everybody who
CHANGED TO disagree with him. Mr..
Tillman, re think, prides himself on
holding the pen Of q Junius, and his
speech here at Abbeyille was replete
with classical illusions; therefore, we
think his smile wherein he Iikened

Arbitration.

The Abbeville Farmers Convention re-
Gently adopted the following r~esolu-
tiou.
"Resolved, That a committee Of Ave
be appointed by the President to memo
rialize the Legislature, asking the pass
age of a statute authorizing and regulat-
ing arbitration, and said committee be
authorized to make such recommends
ton rs they think proper"
There is nc necessity for the Legisla-
ture to pass q statute on the subject.
People can submit their differences to
arbitration now if they choose to do so,
and if they can find anyone to act as
arbitrator, and no Legislature has the
power to compel them to do SO if they
do not choose. There has already been
too much legislative tinkcring with
the laws, and it ought not to be carried
any further.-Columbia Record.

TIT LAST OF THE BARONs.

Rodgers, the editor Of the Palmetto
Post. both Of whom we remember 80

were ardent admirers and strong sup
porters of the late General Gary, have
different views as to the cause Of the
election Of Col. William Elliott to Con-

GGVERNoR GORDON'S INAUGU-
RAJ ADDRESS.

Governor Gordon uttered o
greater truth than when in his inaugural
address at Atlanta he said that the great
danger of this country was that it tendo
too much to a Capitalization Of the Gov
ernmcut at Washington, and pleaded for
the return of the States to States rights
and to State sovereignty. AS long as
the National existence was q question,
Federal and not State government was
the object Of popular concern; but now
that that issue has no longer weight it
behooves US to support the State gov
ernments in all their rights, and this
with no dimunition of our loyalty to
the Government of the United States.
This is essential from the varied people.
products, progress. proclivlties, and con-
ficting interests Of the heterogeneous
mass that make up our ~popuistion. and
each State should have the enlarged
management Of it's own local affairs,
with . supervisory control of the GER
eral government.
The President of these United States
has power than any crown head
on earth. He is Chief Executive and
Prime Minister in one. He assumes the
nnctions Of both Victoria and Glad
stone, and the tendency is still to in
crease Federal powers by the absorption
OF State functions. Georgia, under the
administration of her favorite son, i'm
bued with such sentiments, so loyal to
his native State, and agiow with such
State pride. will make rapid strides in
her materiul development, and advance
still further in the respect of: those who
compose the sistcrhood of States.
