Looking Hopefully to tho Future.

AbbevIlle looks hopeful to the future. The
trade and business in oil lines have been un-
usually good during the present year. Debt
ors are paying up satisfactorily, and every
thing seems in most satisfactory condition.
Nearly all the merchants have greatly In
creased their trade, and the amount OF goods
now on hand In town is far in excess Of the
goods during any other season.
The Railroad Commissioners are expected
10 pass over the G l., G. & n. Railway to-day,
and regular trains will henceforth run east
from Abbeville.
The track-layers expect to get 10 the Savan.
nah before Christmas, and 1t Is said that the
road will be finished to Atlanta by the first OF
next July.
1t is one hundred and thirty-two miles from
Abbeville to Atlanta. Since the middle OF
last November the track has been laid from
Chester to this place. a distance Of eighty
eight miles.
But whether the road is finished in six
months or q year. we presume there is now
no doubt that the road will be finally built.
Contractors haye covered the work of grad
ing the whole line to within some twenty or
thirty miles of Atlanta. Because Of trouble
in getting the right Of way, the line has not
been definitely determined upon. Several
routes have been surveyed, and as soon as
the landowners and the company come to
terms for the right OF way on any desirable
route the line will be located and the earth.
work contracted for.
Many people daily visit the new depot, and
ali are looking anxiously to it, as means in
spring new life into the old town.

HaSkell-TilIman.

The figures showing the result OF yesterday .
vote at Abbeville, Greenwood. Cokesoury
and LowndeSville proclaim the patriotism
and the uuanimlty of the Democratic party
in South Carolina.
1t speaks volumes, and the example OF our
people is worthy OF all emulation.
The expected "spllt" did not take place.
The predicted Interference Of tho negroes
in contest between Democrats did not hap
pen.
To-day peace reigns supreme in all Of South
Carolina.
The colored people acted wisely and con-
servatively, and for their non interference In
family quarrel the great public heart owes
them debt ofgratitude.
Having said this we desire to correct any
misaprrehersion which the bare figures
might create, as TO the actual feeling of this
people toward Judge Haskell and Captain b.
Il. Tillman.
Judge Haskell is native Of this County, oil
whose valor in war, and Of whose courage In
peace, this people is justly proud.
The purity ofhis motives, and the unsefish-
ness OF his every act for the welfare OF the
State for which he would lay down his life,
must excite the admiration not only OF his
neighbors and old friends, but of the people
everywhere.
He Is natures noblemnn, and whether as
civilian or soldier, he has the love and honor
Of South Carolina.
1t was only under the deepest sense of a
conscientious conviction Of duty that caused
our people to withhold their votes from him
yesterday.
It would be idle to say that there is not q
large per cent. of our people who would not
prefer Judge Haskell to Captain B. r. Tillman.
for whom many Of our citizens cherish little
feeling OF good will and respect. But patriot
ism compelled them to vote against their
own personal preferences.

Using the State House as Ball
Room.

According to our way Of thinking there is
more Inconsistency manifest in opposing the
use of the State House for a dance one day In
Il year than in anything that we know Oh.
The arrogance in talking about Christian
people being taxed 10 pay for house which
may be for one day in the year, used for re.
spectacle people TO dance In, Is fully met
when it Is asserted that these same gentle
men and ladies and their friends, unanimous
ly agree to exempt forever from taxation
churches OF these same carping people who
begrudge their benefactors the slight prlVl-
leee OF using the State House one night In q
year.
We have no apology to make for dancing
and do not propose to discuss the morality or
immortality OF the fashionable amusement,
but we do know that respectable and vrtuous
people in nll parts OF the world engage in 1t,
and we further believe that sometimes those
"unco GUIDE" people who denounce dancing
and dancers in such vulgar terms exhibit evil
dence ofa more depraved spirit in themselves
than is evidenced by others in the simple act
OF dancing.
All this talk of those who assume to be so
much better than their neighbors that they
would exclude them from the use OF the pub
lie buildlngs-we mean the State House and
the County Court House-is simply putting
on little airs and thanking the Lord that
they are little better than anybody else.
This newspaper does not propose to toady
to any such sentiment, as would make q
slur upon large portion Of our people, whom
Observation-Disclosures, people would exclude
nom the use Of the public buildings.
The public buildings are 'our heuses'-the
peoples houses-and no self-righteous set OF
men have right to prevent others from en-
joying the use OF them.
