A DONKEY who was tired Of drawing
his masters cart about, went to the
cow for advice, saying: You have
nothing to do all day long, while |
work like slave. Tell me how I
can escape this dludgery" All You
have to do is to run away and smash
the cart" replied the COW. The
donkey determined 10 follow the adj
vice, and next morning when he
set out for the forrest with the cart
after faggots he suddenly kicked up
his heels and started off on a gallop.
ooh hor' exclaimed the peasant, as he
put on the whip; Il see what the
trouble is with you! / am feeding
you too many oats. Hereafter your
rations will be reduced One-half"

dealers from selling to boys under the age OF
fourteen years. Cigarette smoking. like all

Waste of Time,

There seems to be ever present in the Lcsls-
luture u number Of Representatives who
wish to do away with the homestead law.
The efforts to repeal the Constitutional pro-
vision whereby the head of the household
can hayc homestead set off for his wife and
children, which shall lie sacred from the
touch OF & rc:norSeess creditor, is u waste OF
time, pUre and simple. Even If the LcSiSht
ture in It's wisdom, should conclude that the
debtor class of this people should be driven
from their homes. the voters at tho balio'-boN
would never ratify the act We arc some
times led to believe that the opposition to the
homestead more often comes from the law
ycrs who may not object 10 the job OF turn
ing the impecunious debtor out OF doors, than
from the creditor class AS a rule, we believe
the creditor class of our people have made no
special complaint about the homestead.
The homestead exemption seems to be I'm
accord with our Republican form of Govern
ment, and it has the plea of humanity TO up
hold it. We believe every State in the Union
provides for q homestead exemption, and
any effort to deprive the people Of South Car
olina Of the right to claim homestead, is on e
par with the proposition to give the Judges
their Office for life. at immense salaries,
whether they serve the people faithfully or
not. We want no step backward to in
stall the Judge for life, and which shall turn
the poor man and his children out Of doors.
1t might save q deal OF expense and time
if our lawmakers would recognize the fact
that We are now living under n Democratic
form Of government, and that we do not ex-
pcct to take any steps toward Imperialism.

New County MOYCmCmt.

The people OF Florence and the surround.
ing section have memorialzed the Legislature
TO form Il county IN the southern nart of
Darlington and the western part OF Marion

The town of Florence has agreed, in case the
new county is formed, and Florence is made
the county seat. to build the court house
and Jail, thus saving the remainder of county
all expense in this niatter.-Enchange.
If new county and n new court house are
necessary it is unjust to allow the town of
Florence to bear the whole expense. If the
new county and the new court house arc not
necessary, it is wrong, even if not corruptng,
for the Legislature to allow itself to be bought
or bribcd to make the new county. If the
people want the Few county they will be will

cnce to put up the public buildings should be
rejected. Our Legislature should avoid even

Mr.. Benet, attorney for Susong & Co., at
tended o meeting of the stockholders OF the
Atlantic, Greenville and Western Railway
Company at Ninety-SiX last Wednesday.
Susong g. Co., through their attorney, submit
ted the proposition which was wilhdrawn at
sbe meeting month ago. The stockholders
1f the company proposed an amendment,
whereby the sale Of the bonds should be joint
" regulated by the parties in interest. Mr..
Benet, as attorney, accepted the proposed
amendment, subject to the ratltcat'oh OF
Susong & Co. By unanimous vote, the pro-
position OF Susong & Company was then ac-
c.pted. and we presume the purchasers and
sellers will at once prepare the proper papers
whereby the legal transfer may be effected
Without knowing anything at all OF the
plans of Messrs. Susong & Co., 1t Is fair to
presume that the contract Is an admirable
one for the railroad company. Of course,
,yhea The trade Is 10 be finally consummated,
the officers of the road, their attorney, or
whoever may be entrusted with the business,
will see that the bond of Susong d Co., Is n
good one. If they give good bond, ana the
transfer is properly made the people oil Nine
ty-Six will get one OF the best roads in the
State.
We have heard friends Of the Caro!lha
Cumberland Gap and Chicago road, say th;l'
they thought the trade Of Susong 4 Company
meant the final defeat of the Cumberland GhI
road. The route from the sea across the
mountains will be made by Susong& Co, by
the same route as contemplated by the cim-
berland Gap. and their crossing the noun
tains with the Atlantic, Grccnville and West
ern road, vii lido away for the public necessity
for the Cumberland Gap road. This Is The
talk that we have heard. We know nothing

tinued for sometime. and new life and vital

Breaking up the Democratic Party.

We do not understand why the whiskey
element in this tate talk so much about
breaking up the Democratic party. We do
not understand why mans opinious, likes
or dislikes of the temperance movement has
nythng at all to do with u mans prolllical
principles. We are certain that every tenn
perancc man with whom we are acquainted
is good Democrat, and We are further GER
tain that no temperance man In Abbeville
county has any desire 10 break up the Demo
cratic party. We think the whskey men In
Abbeville county are equally loyal tc the
Democratic party. Then where is the danger
of urging temperance laws and temperance
principles?
One of the greatest evil connected with the
license system is the plan Of giving the towns
the license fees, and then taxing the people OF
the county to settle in court the murders,
fights, and other difficulties resulting from
the license system. Abbeville town has re-
ceived thousands OF dollars in license fees,
and in consequence, the people Of Abbeville
county have been taxed thousands Of dollars
in the way OF Court expenses. II we are to
have licenses, let the county get the money
as the county has to pay the expense.
