TOWN MULES AND DRUNKEN PRISONERS.
Should They be Put to Bed TOgeth.
err: .-. A Prisoner Should Have
Something Better Than a PIow
Stock on Which to Sleep.

We license the sale OF liquor, and as a result
q decent place should be provided for the safe
keeping OF those citizens or visitors to the
town who are arrested for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. The idea OF putting u
drunk man and the town mule to bed togeth.
er, doesn't exactly square with the present
generally accepted idea OF modern hotel keep
Ing. On state occasions, when there are more
than one drunk man and only one sober mule
plow stocks have TO be Strengthened out to
make a comfortable lodging place for the i'd
ditiOnal company. This adds trouble for the
marshal and puts the overseer of the streets
to the Inconvenience Of re.arranging the fur
niture next day.
1t seems to us that bed or something bet
ter than brick floor or patent plow stock
citizens who may, by chance, become for q
night the guests Of tho town.
The Mayor might charge fees sufficient to
defray the expenses. Az the weather Is quite
warm, 1t seems that If an auger hole was
bored into the wall to admit little fresh air.
that additional comfort would be added to our
guests without incurring any great expense
In authorizing the making of drunkards. and
We think these men when arrested, should be
put elsewhere than IN horse stable. We
have plenty OF money, and Will get more.
Therefore let US build comfortable, or at least
decent place, for the guests of the town.
BY enforcing liberal fines for violations OF
the peace and order Of the town, q large help
could be had for building O commodiouS and
safe guard house.
AS matter OF fact, we are not sure that an
action would not lie against the town for i'm
prisoning anybody for a night in stable
guard house, without even sufficient veltil la
tion to preserve life and health.

COMMITTEE ON PREMIUMS.
Active Work Looking for Lively
Contest Among the Abbeville Far

1t may not be generally known that the
County Alliance some time ago decided TO
endeavor to enlist the farmers OF the county
in the contest for the $500 premium offered by
the authorities for the best county exhibit at
the next State Fair. A committee OF one or
more from each township has been appointed
and said committee have had several meet.

While the movement originated In the

TO its membership. Friends outside OF the

is believed that there is enough county pride
among her farmers to press them forward In
this matter, Abbeville county was long ago
called the banner county, and there Is no rea-
son now why she should not be so called ever

requires unity of action on the part OF her
citizens 10 prove 1t.
In the event the county should secure eeither
of the three prizes offered, II will be divided
among given number of those who contri.

the Alliances.
Do not wait to be solicited, but let the com.
mitlee-man In your township know what
you will do at once. The exhibitor Is at no
expense, as the freight will be refunded on all
articles sent to Columbia. Information
cheerfully given by any OF the committee.
Regular monthly meetings will be held at
