PUBLIC MEETING.
The Colored Citizens Meeting In the
Court House.

Court House.
The colored citizens OF AbbevllIe who favor
the erection of Free Public School building
for the colored people, called benevolent ed.
ucational meeting In the Court House on
Tuesday evening, July 25th, 1898.
The meeting was opened with singing and
prayer, and was presided over by Rev. E. w.
Williams. who briefly stated the object OF the
meeting, which was TO give an opportunity.
something to the fund which Is now In the
hands Of the Board OF Trustees for building
purposes.
For several months a faction OF the colored
people have made strenuous efforts to get this
building fund from the trustees TO pay debts
on existing school houses and the like. This
OF course was plainly against the letter and
the trustees TO accede TO the demands that
have been made upon them from time TO
time.
The trustees having made known their pur-
puse to comply with the law, and use the
money in hand for the purpose for which II
had been provided. And rs this sum OF
money is too small to put up such building
think ing and law abiding colored people
thought II right and proper that they should
come together and see what II anything, they
could do to supplement this sum and thus
have building more in keeping with The de-
mands.
attempt was made TO break up this meeting
which was at once orderly and fully In keep
ing with the spirit OF the age and The best In.
terests OF the community.
4 good beginning was made In the effort 10
assist In erecLing a Free Public School, Quite
d large sum of money was pledged besides la
Dor, lumber and lime. Contributed.

Fever Caused by Polluted Water.

Nearly all the children who attended the
school at Hickory Grove during Spring and
early Simmer are now down with typhoid
fever. The cases OF fever are very stubborn.

is doubtless caused by the children drinking
water out OF we'll In the church grounds.
which is effected by the decomposeQ human
bodies In the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News.
Ever since the new railroad has been built,
and the settlement OF that portion Of the town
was provable, the Press and Banner has
thought Of calling the attention OF the council
to the possible evil effects of the burying
grounds in thistown.
The great number OF decomposing
bodies that are constantly put In the ground
will certainly endan:er the purity OF the wa.
ter In the wells which may be in close prox.
unity, and even the air itself may be impre
grated from the gases which may escape from
the graves.
Whether there is danger from this cause or
not, we believe there is more or less risk In
building hoases too near and in drinking the
water which may drain the contents Of the
cemeteries.

Things to Remember About Sleeping
Sunlight is good for everything but
feathers.
The best number of persons to each
bed is-.-one.
Away with heavy hangings, either
above or below the bed.
Beware of a dusty, musty carpet
better sweetness and bare floor.
Do not fail to provide some means
for ventilation during the night.
Keep the head cool while sleeping
but not by draft of cold air falling
upon 1t.
If folding bed must be used, con.
trive some way to keep it aired and
wholesome.
Let the pillow be high enough to
bring the head in a natural position.
no more or less.
Thoroughly air the sleeping room
every day ; air the bed and bedding as
often as possible.
A dark out.of-the-way, unwhole'
some corner is no more fitted for q
sleeping room than for parlor.
A feather bed which has done ser
vice for a generation or two is hardly
a desirable thing upon which to
sleep.

Only o Little Lesson.

It was just little lesson, that was
all, but 1t went right to the spot. He
stopped a moment on his way home to
look in a florists window, and the
florist who saw him, asked him inside
to see something extra fine.
"You don't buy any more flowers
now? ?" said the florist. e.
"No,n was the response, given good
naturedly though 1t was brief.
"And it used to be, year ago OF
more, that roseses and violets and car
nations and all sorts of flowers were 8
great attraction to youT
"Yes; bad a sweetheart then," and
the man blushed and laughed.
"You used to take her flower every
time you went to see her, didn't you ?''
pursued the inquisitive, kindly old
florist.
"Yes."
"And they didn't cost you very
much, as a rule, did they?"
20, no, but that didn't make any
difference to her. II I brought them
fresh and fragrant, that was enough"
"Why don't you take them to hel
now? Did she choose another in your
stead d? and the florists voice was sym.
patetic.
20, no, married her year ago."
The florist waited a moment, as II
thinking.
"And don't you love her now?" he
asked cautiously, as If threading on thin
ice.
"Of course. We are very happy.
But you know the flower business
doesn't 60 any more"
"Did she eyer say SOP" asked the
florist.
"Well-um-er-no, I can't say that
she ever did,"
"No. never happened to think OF
1t. Busy, you know, with all sorts OF
things 80 much more practical"
The florist didn't answer. He went
to q pot of roses and violets, and TAX
ing a handful, he handed them over to
his late customer.
"There," he said, II give them to
you in remembrance Of old times.
You give them to your wife, and If
she dosen't like them you can bring
them back to me-"
But they never came back.

Senator Irby could not have made o better
aeIection from q business or political STAND.
noint We believe Mr.. Jones Is considered
an expert in both lines.
He will not enter upon the duties OF DIS po-
sition Ignorant OF tue details OF the MODES
and methods necessary TO grind out Constl-
tutionai Laws. Since 1890 he has held the
hardest TO fill and most responsible Clerksnlp
In Inc State Senate. AL bills that have be-

rolled Law. Though many have been mis-
placed and sone lost. not once has such mis-.
fortune ever been traced TO his neglect or care.

al Journal and Index Clerk OF the State

has met most Of the leading men OF the STATE

We predict that he will make the same rec
ord as an employee In the U. =. Senate as be
did as Journal and Index Clerk or the state

Clerk of The House for more than quarter OF
a century said that his index Of the Senate

at midnight. June Goth, and at the first hour
that the dispensaIies were allowed to open,
IA. M, July lst, Mr.. Hill and his assistants
were at their places ready for business. He
yesterday made up his monthly report show
ing sales for the month of July to be eleven
hundred and forty-eight dollars and twenty
five cents. Mr.. Hill states that his sales
would have been much greater for the month
but for the fact that considerable supplies had
been laid in by parties during the last week
OF June He notices during the hst week
that his sales have been increased mainly he
supposes from the fact that parties during the
month who had never been In the dispensary
before came TO purchase and he thinks the
supplies laid in by them had been exhausted.
Mr.. Hill thinks that as far as Abbeville is
concerned the dispensary is success, both
from financial and q moral point of view.
