iustihablo that 400 Is too high for Dein-

A provision Of section "a also seems
pernioious, in allowing under any oircum-
stances any other than an official ballot,
and with severer penalties, such as In
diana has for any breaking of an election
law, it seems unnecessary aud weakening
to the whole. In Indiana any voter or
election officer guilty Of breaking an cleo
ton law will be not only fined but Inn
prisoned and disfranohised for Eve or ten
years. That is wholesome. The penal
ties in section "A consequently sound
very tame in comparison.
Finally it is now being generally recog.
nized that the law in force in New York
atRte requiring the destruction of ballots

The Overland fast freight train on the
Union Pacific road yesterday brought in
the mangled body of James Sumner,
brakeman, who had been thrown from
the top Of the train by goat, while the
train was at high rate of:speed. The
animal belonged to q theatrical company,
and got on the train at Cheyenne, it is
supposed, from low shed adjoining the
water tank. After the train left Chey.
enne, the goat chewed the bell cord
awhile, and then drove two ofthe brake
men to the caboose, where they remained
in mortal terror, believing the animal
was wild cat. Sumner was in front Of
the train and had not seen the goat until
the latter rushed at him full-tilt. In
the darkness hs lost his balance and fell
from the train. His companions, peering
over the top Of the car, saw his lamp go
out. The train was stopped as soon as
possible and run back. Summers body
Yas found lying beside the track. His
neck had been brokea.s A cowboy las.
soed the goat when the train arrived
here, and the coroner ordered him to the
pound, pending an inquest.

Prohibition at Abbeyllle.

The barrooms at Abbeville were closed
last Monday night, to remain closed until
great revolution shall take place ip the
public sentiment of Abbeville County.
It is estimated that the entire stock OF
whiskies left on hand ,would not amount
to fifteen gallons. =
Owing to the limited supply, whiskiea
advancedi in price about SO per. cent.
when sold by the. gallon. This increase
in price was made in order that the sup.
ply might a.hold out"
There was no great rush Of jug filling,
but the trade has been brisk during the
fall. Like other merchants, the whiskey
dealers did good business.
The town goes "dry" as the result of
the election which was held last March
in pursuance ofan Act of the Legislature,
submitting the question License or
No License to the people of Abbeville
County.
The campaign which preceded the cleo.
ton was perhaps one of the most re-.
markable ever recorded in the history
of elections. Although there were great
interests involved, yet there VAS no ex.
citement, or ill.feeling. All was good
humor. Prohibitionists and anti>Prohi-
bitionists feltno arrangement.
The open, cheerful way in which the
whiskey dealers have complied with the
law has made the opposition feel most
kindly.-Press and Banner.

- The farmers around Elberton, Ga,
know the worth of persimmons, aud for
years have made it point never to cut
down persimmon tree. In places 50
many trees have been left standing that
the fields look like orchards; and indeed
they are persimmon orchards, the trees
of which bear fine crops of frui. almost as
valuable as corn for fattening hogs. The
farmers say that the persimmon tres
draws but little strength OF moisture from
the soil, and that excellent crops are
grown even beneath their shade.
