THE STORM LAST SATURDAY.
One Person Killed, and Many Houses
Blown Down.

A cyclone passed over the State last Satur.
day. ievelling much that was standing in its
course, and in some instances did serious
damage to life and property. In some places
in Abbeviile county 1t passed almost over the
exact route which was taken by the cyclone
several years ago.
1t was not generally known at the village
until Monday, when our people anXiouSly en-
0uircd of all persons coming from the section
OF the cyclone. as to the extent OF damage
that had been done. Persons near the line of
1t heard the roaring of the storm ana saw
what appeared to them to bc the cyclone as 1t
passed-riSng and descending.
On the flrm of Dr.. James a. Wideman q
tree was blown down across the dwelling
house occupied by a colorcd family, when one
child was Killed outright, two or three others
had arms or legs broken, and Others were
more or less bruised.
\ small house on the estate of w. X. Brad
ley fell, and crippled an occupant.
BoagS Widcman's crib was blown down and
his fodder was carried away.
AT +. Cowan's iar:a several outhouscs were
demolished
William Kennedy's stables and barn were
unroOied.
II is said that theerove in front of the White
Hall dwelling was torn up. and that OF the
houses only the dwellings belonging IL the
White Hall homestead and John WilkcrsOn
was left standing.
In consideration of the fact that Mr.. Sry.
mour is preacher, the cyclou" let him OH
with little damage and un;y took away part
of his barn.
Mr.. T. II. Cromcr, his ncighbor just across
the road, suffered considerable loss in houses
and otherwise.

whiskey at Abbeville,

The coming election campaign will be large
ly upon the question Of licensed sale of whis-
key at Abbeville.
The Temperance people of AbbeVille county
are sorry to make the issue in an election
year, but 1t seems that they are forced to do it..
Accepting the prevalent opinion that 1T was
better to keep the whiskey question out OF
politics, the people several years ago merely
asked the Legislators to allow them to vote
on the question-if petition was made to the
Legislature for such election. Nothing was
done in the Legislature looking to an election
on the subject until q long petition had
been sent TO that body-the number OF
signatures to that petition being perhaps
equal In number TO majority OF the voters
OF the county.
A law was then passed submitting the ques-
tion to the people.
An election was held. Peace ana OF
der, friendship and good feeling prevailed.
The temperance people won an overwhelm-
ing victory.
During the first six months after the law
went into effect. almost no whiskey was sold
in Abbeville, and almost no drunkenness was
seen on our streets.
The latter part of the year whiskey was sold
to some extent, and more drunkenness was
seen.
When 1t was understood that the towns
people would petition the Legislature for the
right to grant license, the sale seemed 10 te
increased, and without much attempt at con-
cealment.
It is matter Of extreme regret that the pco-
pie will be called upon to act on this question
In q campaign year, but the question is q llT-
ing one, which Will not down, and the people
will expect to hear definite and positive dec
larations from the candidates TO the General
Assembly.
This is q Republican form of government
and the will Of the people should govern.
II they want the sale of whiskey continued
at Abbeville, they can so express themselves
at the ballot box, while electing men who will
carry out their wishes.
On the other hand, If they want the sale OF
licensed liquor discontinued at Abbeville,
they can elect men who may be pledged In
unequivocal terms TO the enforcement of their
will on the subject.
The people therefore, will raise the issue,
and, at the primary election. they will again
decide the question for themselves.
II q majority of the people want the licensed
sale of whiskey at Abbeville, the temperance
people must submit
II majority OF the people wish to see the
saloons closed, then why not let them be
closed?
This is campaign which must be for prin-
clple. No bitterness OF speech should enter.
Every man In this free country has right To
his own opinion, and no man has right to
assume to be the keeper Of his neighbor's con-
science.
Let this campaign be for the single purpose
or deciding whether we want liquor at Able
willie.
Let every man put his hand on his heart,
and vote according to the convictions OF his
own conscience.
A full expression OF opinion is all that any
body has a right to expect, and every citizen
owes 1t TO himself and TO his neghbors, to
vote according 10 his convictions.

ACTIVITY ON THE FARMS.
Methods or EcOnOmy---Shipmen of

Our farmers are working with great energy
In preparing their lands for another crop.
The immense number Of mules that has been
sold by drovers to the planters must mean
something, and we take 1t for granted. that an
enlarged area will be planted, or that the land
which has heretofore been planted, will be
better plowed than formerly.
The banks at Abbeville are furnishing mon
ey to scores Of farmers who have heretofore
given liens 10 the stores for goods, and there
seems to be a general desire TO carry on the
farms with q view to more practical results
than on any previous year.
While IL would seem that every farmer
should make his own supplies-including
mules-it Is gratifying to see those who will
not provide for their own wants, more careful
in the matter of contracting debts.
Money borrowed from one Of the banks Will
buy more goods and hoe more cotton than
the same amount Of goods bought on u credit
There never was a time when there WAS so
general a desire to enlarge the area of pastures
than now. Car loads Of wire are being dis
trlbuted all over the county.

Taxing Cotton Seed.

There Is now a proposition in Congress to
levy a heavy tax on the products Of the cot
ton seed oil.
enthusiastically efforts have been made 10
take the tax off OF whiskey and tobacco.
II we could get free whiskey and tobacco,
and then have our cotton seed taxed out Of
reason. the South would be happy indeed.
What need our people care for the burden
laid on the farming interests-by destroying
the marketable value Of cotton seed-if we
can only get enough free whisley?
Whiskey is good for snake bites and other
things. and therefore ought to be free. The
cotton seed oil can only be eaten, or used in
cooking, and therefore is an unimportunt
product. and ought to be taxed. That's the
way to look at 1t.

to Tom Quash, who appealed to his
grandmother, GIory-Ann, who found in
Missy a ready ambassador; for Missy,
this visit with her brother
Nicholas, felt burning desire to know
what Dan Furnival could have to say to
her father.
The colonel flushed darkly when he
heard Missvs announcement; like her,
he thought this visit might refer to his
son, but he did not refuseto receive Fur
nival. Let him come in here" he said,
with a GOODNESS that gave no hint of the

across the yard TO conduct the visitor to
the Office. When he entered she sat her
self down in the doorway.
