THINGS OBSERVED AND NOTED.


Forty-eight dollars discount for
cashing an order of $l,740 is looked
upon as q rapid method for making
money by Burgess Maloney. Inas-
much as borough orders are not me
gotiabe paper" the next question
that naturally arises is what action
Sacks & Brown propose to pursue to
recover their money. The situstlon IS
certainly = psrplexing one and any
thing but cheerful as far as Contrac'
tors Healey q Andreas are concerned.
The revelations disclosed by Engi.
neer Bartl during the week just closed
have worked the people OF this town
up to pitch of excitement only sx'
ceeded by that which attended the
Tweed ring exposure in New York
years ago. When the auditors sought
to perform-and acceptably did
similar service last fall they were the
butt of uncanuy remarks. Many
alleged their motive was purely mer'
Csnary," but the present expos
ure following so closely upon their
investigation repews intesest and has
been the means of sustaining any sus
picion of wrong doing they supposed
existed. 1t is to be hoped that Bur-
CESS Maloney will prosecute the good
work he has so fearlessly begun, and
while he is about it, have Mr.. Bartl-
than whom there is no better surveyor
hereabouts-measure William street
and ascertain if possible il the work
amounted, las Andreas & Healey alleged,
to some $4, 800

A faint idea of the health Of this
community may be Cleaned from the
fact that clerk iu one of the drug
stores of this town compounded 300
prescriptions during the month of De-
cember. There are eleven stores OF
this kind in Pittston. Assuming that
each of the eleven compounded SINH
lar amount there would be grand to-
tai of $500, or an average of 1lO fol-
each day in the month AS is well
known there are hundreds Of cases
which are never brought to doctor S

The State Campaign.

The State campaign has now been going on
for several weeks. but as yet there has been
developed no perceptible interest In it.
The candidates now and then have had
some little personal tilts, when each tried to
vex his adversary or annoy his comp etitor to
the fullest extent.
The people look on-if not with disgust
certainly without interest at some OF the un-
seemly occurrences which have taken place
between the gentlemen who seek the highest
political honors which We can give.
Governor Tillman and the Charleston mob
had glorious time. He said offensive things
to them, and they said insulting things TO
him.
Senator John Gary Evans was roughly han
died, metaphorically speaking. They said
insulting things to him. and he In turn said
the bittsrest things TO his assailants.
Senator Butler got an inning, and received
perhaps a more enthusiastic reception than
had been accorded him at any other point
This enth usiasm for Butler was possibly more
because OF hatred TO Tillman than love for
Butler.
SO Ear as we can learn, the public sentiment
has not been changed because OF the speeches.
The candidates seem TO hold their own with
the people, without making inroads in the
ranks OF their opponents.

s.lsrean uaad,s Pledge.'

1t has been said by men learned in the law
that the ''pledge" of the Greenwood gentle
men to furnish and pay for the sites. build
ings, etc.. necessary for the new county, is not
worth anything as legal paper-that 1t has
no legal binding force. No specific promises
are made. No particular grounds are pledged
no specified sum Of money is promised-no
definite and specific size, quality or suitable
ness of buildings or grounds is named. The
pledge or promise Is made to nobody, and
there Is no second party to it. There Is no
Limitation as to time, and time Is the essence
of all contracts. The pledge or promise is
made without consideration" or value re-
ceived," and all the lawyers in the universe
couldn't recover dollar on 1t. Nobody Is au
thorized to enforce it. even If 1t were other
wise binding obligation. The signers Of the
paper do not even promise to pay anything,
or to do anything more than to see that
Greenwood does 30 and SO. Now. did these
gentlemen, speak from authority OF the toWn
or did they act voluntarily, and without que
and legal authority from the town OF Green
wood?

IN A FINE POSITION.
Mr.. w. 0. Bradley Handsomely Fro
yIded for In Warrington.

Mr.. w. D. Bradley Of Abbeville has q
most pleasant place as chief Of one OF the
divisions in the Treasury Department at
Washington, and, In the last year he has BE-
come thoroughly acquainted with the dell
cate and important duties devolving upon
him, His natural mathematical and judi
cial ability finds th ework congenial: and ne
makes one OF tho most efficient officers IN
the service of the Government. While Mr..
Bradley makes NO great effort at ostenta. a.
tion, yet he lives in beautiful new house In
which he has more comforts and more luxu-
ries than any man in Abbeville has IN MS
house. He and Mrs. Bradley have forgotten
none of their religious and economic train
Ing. On Sunday they worship regularly, as
has been their custom, and every day they
live In home-like comfort and happiness, pre-
serving the purity of their children from the
contamination Of the outside world.
AS the months roll round, he adds some,
thing to his bank account. In case he should
ever return to Abbeville, which we doubt,
he will have something elss than experience
TO bring back home with him. He likes
Washington 80 we'll, that he will likely make
that city his future home and abiding
place. =,
Abbeville has many representatlv in
Washington, but none Of them are doing
better or making more progress than Mr.. W.
o. Bradley.

OUGHT TO BE FIRED.
No Time or Room for MalcOntents
and Growers.

anu GROWERS.
Ever since the Railroad shops have been
located in Abbeville, reports have been clrcu-
lated to the effect that the shops were 10 be
removed from our midst.
While we have repeatedly learned from IN.
formation direct from headquarters. that
there Is not word of truth In any such as
sertion, yet these reports have been more or
less annoying to some OF our citizens and has
had the effect Of deterring our people from
building houses and otherwise taking steps
for the Ipbuilding OF the town. 10 this en-
tent these false and malicious reports have In
iured the town and worked hardship on
railroad people who wish TO rent houses. and
for whom they would be built under other
circumstances.
II has been suggested that q formal petition
be signed asking the railroad manages TO re-
move from our midst all those who are enc
mics to the town and who are working mis-
chief to their fellows.
If Mr.. Winder will dismiss such people
from his employ he will 90 an act OF Justice
to q town which has ever been friendly to
his road. Abbeville desires TO increase In
growth and population, but we want no enc
mics within our gates. We can spare all who
are unfriendly, or who think they DO better
elsewhere.
1t would be gratifying to our people, II we
could have an expression on this subject from
Mr.. Winder.

Wednesday, July 18, 1894.
Charleston and Tillman.

It seems TO be pity that the Governor Is
not on good terms with the people OF the
metropolitan city Of the State.
When Tillman spoke to the Charlestonians
last week, he unnecessarily revived the hos
tilities, and they in turn showed him how
becomingly city gentlemen could treat their
Chief Executive.
Instead OF being silent ON the dispensary law,
as he should have been. or If 1t must be men
toned, begging pardon for having as Govern.
or desired to interfere with the first class gen.
tlemen of that city who trampled the law
under foot and defied legal authority as we'll
as the power Of the constables, the Governor
simply said he would yet force it down their
threats. Now, that was not polite. He
ought to have said with your permission,
we will enforce the law" City people who
are above the law ought to be talked TO very
politely.
For the leader Of the country politicians,
who Charleston has 80 long delighted to hon.
or as 'Three-for-a-quarter Statesmen" 10
speak as he did in their refined ears must
have been CALLING to the last extent. 1t. at
least furnished ample excuse for the insults
and epithets which were heaped at the de-
voted head of the Governor.
1t seems that Tillman won't learn to be po-
lite to those Charleston gentlemen, who de.
spise him. 1t also seems that they are equal.
ly determined to disregard the whiskey laws
OF the State. He ought to know by this time
that elegant, cultivated and refined gentle
men do not like to be governed by such
countrymen as he is.
The fact Is, the leader OF the "Three-for-a-
quarter Statesmen" is too rough on people
who do mot like him, or caunot learn TO
love his amiable ways.
The Governor has 80 far disregsrded tn
wishes Of the good people of Charleston. that
wewould not be at all surprised II they should
give expression of their feelings by voting for
Senator Bntler.
The impudence OF Tillman In assuming
that he could be Governor OF the city OF
Charleston Is amusing. Charleston never
wanted him to be Governor-never nomina.
ted him-never voted for him, and the most
that he could have reasonably aspired TO do
was 10 govern for the "Three- -for-a-q uarter
Statesmen" from the country.
II Tillman and Evans don't mind what they
are about Abbeville and Charleston will join
teams and bring out good men who will beat
them both out Of their boots.
