Editor Press and Banner:
Will you allow me small space in your
paper to speak OF expenditures in which Alb
beville County Is interested.
Not longer than two years ago the County
Comm issiOners opened a new public road
legding to Nlnety-Six. Just two miles In
length, and in doing so have paid out 1915
up TO date-slS7.5O per mile-besldes all hands
liable to road duty in three niles of said road
worked five days in opening 1t, and the
hunds which were assigned TO the road (and
that ls large force) have worked sixteen
days on II, and you may 60 10 the center of
the new road which is at the creek, and there
are four public roads In one miles distance OF
that point
This road as you see is n heavy tax TO Abbe-
Vile County and Of nc use-s now very
rough and almost impossible to vehicles, and
besides Is d convenience 10 only three farms
in Abbevile County. and 1t should be closed.
The last bill paid on this road was Sls7,
and have been about the road all the while
and / fail TO see or imagine what that sum
could have been paid for. | would like to
know il any Of the Commissioners have seen
the road-have seen the work for which this
SlS7 was paid. Has the Commissioners the
legal right to let such work out at private
cOntract-plpase answer. We would like 10
see an itemized account from the Commits
slOners for this money. / would not he sur
prlsed VI the Grand Jurors nre not called
upon TO look into this matter next Court.
We must say In justice to Mr.. Nance, one of
the Commissioners, that this eXtravagance
was indulged III before he went into Office.

And that Is not all. Let those who are de-
Tending Tillman and his rule explain those
figures If they can, and show the people that
the present administration Is not responsible
for them. Those are the kind OF matters that
we should look mt, and cease 10 listen TO the
foolish cry OF the Office seekers about oppoSi-
ton to the farmers. 1 challenge any one to
show that those figures are not correct.
Prove 1t, and will acknowledge that l was
mistaken. Our county treasurer can show
that some OF the figures are correct, 50 far as
this County Is concerned.
In 1880 Tillman got on the stump with his
pocket full OF rocks and began to throw them
at every thing and every body. and lie has
been throwing rocks ever since. These same
rocks together with others have heen gather
ed up, and are now being hurled back at TILL
man, and his friends cry out that 1t Is not
fairpay. He commenced the game and he
must take the consequences. He sti claims
that he has plenty OF rocks on hand and he Is
almost dying to get 4 chance 10 throw them
at some one. He does not seem to be tired Of
the game. then why should his followers cry,

and TO handle the facts that relate to the af-

man nature for person to throw back rocks
that have been chunked at him.
There Is another March ticket 10 the field,
headed by good men and true men, with good
men for every Stale office. They are men at
whom no political rocks can be thrown with
any chance of hurting them. II is TO be
hoped chat the discussions will be on meas
ures and not men. We should look solely to
the good OF the State in the election OF OFF,
GERS this year. The con invention that met in
Columbia on the oath, was a conservative
body OF men who met for the good OF the
State and not for The sake OF office or person

party and we ought To reason among our
selves In a calm manner as TO what Is best to

OF the demagogues that those who are .op.
posed To Tillman are opposed TO the farmer,
should be buried and those who expect TO get
into office on that cry should be cast aside as

people. We cannot afford 10 follow such

AN IMPOSING STRUCTURE.
The Abbeyiiie High School to be
Handsome Ruildins, i'm Modern
Architecture, and Thoroughly
Adapted for school PurpOseS.

The committee on the erection of Able
ville's new anG elegant school building have
accepted the beautiful plans which was sub.
mitted by Architect benson Schneider, and
under his guidance and direction will go up Il
building of which any town in the up coun.
try might be proud.
1t Is two stories hl.h.
Running back 50 feet.
Has seven class rooms, with q cloak room
TO each.
An assembly room 4OxG0 feet.
Library.
Teachers room.
SuperiutendentG room.
The system Of heating by steam extends to
every room.
The ventilation is perfect.
The site is the one on which the old acad-
eEly has stood tor forty years, and Is in Il cen
trail part OF the town. convenient to greater
number OF children than it could have been
II placed elsewhere.
Il IS Il matter Of special congratnlation that
the cnmntttee bought this lot, and at once re.
moved The bone of contention which has
been forty years fruitful source OF disSatis-
faction among our people. This purchase
makes the town practically unanimous In
we'll wishes for the largest measure OF sue
cess.
The committee have so far acted wisely
and adviSpdly, and up to this time II seems
that their every act has had tendency to
bring harmony and good feeling among our
people.
If they shall succeed in bringing the hearts
of this people together in the school building
which should be nearest and dearest TO every
parent, their names should go down In his
tory as chief of the peace max ers.
The town needs good school house, and
we presume that we will have one that will
not be Inferior To our highest eXpecta tions.
The committee have acted wisely In not
having any cellar 10 the building. They will
bnild on top Of The ground. and will utilize
The brick which will be saved out Of the old
building which is now being taken down by
Mr.. charles Smith, MIR. Mac Clark, Mr.. J. NJ.
Brooks and others, who have taken the con-
tract at SIS The new building will cover the
place on which the old house stands.

SUNDAY NIGHT.
DR.. j. Lowrie Wilson breaches to q
Good Congregation on the Subject
nc

After reading the second chapter of Joshua
Dr. Wilson, pastor OF the Presbyterian church
at this place, preached last Sunday night on
the subject of Faith. lie read the second
chapter of Joshua. and cited particularly the
act OF Rahab In shielding the spies which
Joshua the son Of Nun had sent ahead to
view out the country as he came upon the
borders OF the promised land. This woman's
faith. though she had lived a. bad life, had
prompted her to hide Joshua's spies and en-
abled her To miSlead the men whom the
King Of Jericho had sent for the dodgers with
in her house.
DR.. Wilson said the frequency which the
subject Of Faith had been preached upon had
been noticed by many, and because OF this
fact he would give some Of the reasons which
induce ministers SO often TO dwell upon this
subject.
|. That the exercise Of faith was the surest
method Of pleasing the Almighty, and 1t was
q necessity in the plan Of salvation.
9. That the most successful preaching of the
Word resulted. from the presentation OF the
importance and power Of faith; that faith
was the birth place Of religious conviction.
B. That by faith In the Lord Jesus Christ we
were sanctlfied and adopted into the family
of God our Father; that by faith we had
power to set Satan under our feet, and by the
exercise of iaiih our Lord Jesus Christ cou Id
save the v!est sinner; that faith could raise
up the fallen, or remove mountains; that
hope prompted US To seek the heavenly land,
but faith alone enabled us 10 set our sins be-
hind US, 80 that We might live purer and bet
ter lives; that faith even bridged the River
and brought us victorious over the stlngs Of
Death itself, and could bring us to realiza.
tion OF happiness beyond the grave.
