Bellinger's Candidacy.

We believe nearly all the newspapers have
written comments on the treatment which
the people OF Colleton accorded Mr.. Bellinger
the candidate for Solicitor, and without eX
ception the action OF the Broxton Bridge
murderers and their friends in bowling dowr
Belliuger and preventing him from speaking
has been condemned. Some of the newspa
pers have spoken In very severe terms Of the
people of Colleton and all have expressed thu
hope that Bellinger would be reelected, ii
which hope we most heartily join.
The BroXton Bridge murderers committed
perhaps the most cowardly murder that hA
taken place in South Carolina, and now they
and their friends seek to defy the Court to I'll
them, and assume to deny the Solicitor Il
right to be heard.
We cannot think that all the people Of &c
Teton County approve OF the act OF taking y
tenceless men and women from their hom8
at night and beating them to death. The
must be some good men In the county, b
they seem to be under hack OF the midnIg
marauders.
Ordinarily, the act Of striking of WON
is considered cowardly one, but it impov
ishes the English to try to describe the acti
taking woman out of her house, strippf
her and beating her to death.

AtliIItlGPd I'm Contempt.

Judge Benet and some OF the lawyers of The
Charleston Bar have had differences, and his
Honor has adjudged several of them in con-
tempt. Some OF the lawyers he fined, and
others he disbarred until they purge them
selves. The difficulty, as we understand
arose from their taking Il case to the United
States Court while it was pending in the
State Court.
Admitting that Judge Benet is 4 Reformer
aud acknowledging that the offending mem
bers OF the Charleston bar are of the upper
crust of Charleston society and dead opposed
to all men who are not of their political cast
quired TO observe the eXternals of courtesy
and respectful treatment to the presiding
Judge.
1t seems that this is not the first time that
members Of the Charleston bar have Offered
disrespect TO presiding Judge. In the sew
enties we believe Judge Carpenter had 10
punish Charleston lawyers for contempt OF
Court.
Charleston may be said to be almost In
state of war against the State of South caro-
lima. Pulished accounts of the attempts Vi
the State to enforce the Dlspensary law, anu
the city's act in forcing the Legislature 10
send a metropolitan police, together Win
the open insult TO u Judge OF the state Is Gu
mulative evidence that Charleston has little
respect for the laws Of the state, which lack
of respect may be the prompting cause of in.
dignitles to the Court Itself.
The country people of South Carolina
should sustain the States officers in their al
tempt to enforce law and order in every part
OF the State. This last offense against
the State in disrespect to Judge Benet is, pre-
sumably, because of his politics. In point OF
ability Judge Benet is not inferior to any
body.
In this case, as in nearly every case of re-
ported violations Of law, the offending parties
are first class citizens honored gentlemen
and respected members Of society. 1t was,
we presume, because Of their high standing,
that they put themselves in contempt OF a
court. for whose Judge they had dislike.
The State Of South Carolina is bound TO
maintain at least the external evidences OF
respect for its officers.
Charleston ought not to be allowed to set
aside the courts of the State, and when 1t Is
remembered that Charleston is repeating her
contempt for the State Courts her position
will be better understood.
Let Charleston obey the laws OF the State,
and let the bar of that city treat the State
Courts with becoming respect.

ViOIence-Law Breaking.

Recent occurrences in this town would lead
US to believe that negro who carries pistol
or knife, and uses either OF them on neigh
Dor, is scarcely better than trihlng white
man who does the same thing. Heretofore
the negroes have preserved a pretty good
name for peacefulness, but they are beginning
to break the record.
Last Thursday evening Bluit Thomas shot
Henry Heard, infiicting three pistol shot
wounds which, 1t was thought for a time
would prove fatal.
On Sunday night Gus Thomas stabbed his
wife Martha Thoms, a number OF time and !,
is not yet known whether she will be able to
survive the wounds.
Both of these occurrences were aggravated
violations of the peace and order of the State
and City, and 1t would seem that they deserve
the attention of the authorities.
Henry Heard, 1t will be remembered, was
Implicated in the Lowndesville homicide,
when Clayton Allen lost his life. Henry
Heard turned "State's evidence" and helped
TO convict his associates, some Of whom were
hanged, while others went to the penltentia.

TO BUILD FORTY COTTAGES.
Of the Contract TO w. II. Long

The directors of the Abbeville Cotton Mill
met last Monday evening at the home of MIR.
q. A. Visanska. There was full meeting OF
the board-all the directors being present.
! The bids for the building OF the cottages
were opened There were several bidders
one from Spartanburg, one from the Mallard
Lumber Company, and three from Abbeville.
The bid of 1000 by Mr.. Long, to build
twenty four room cottages and twenty SIX
room cottages-two hundred rooms, in all
was considered the most desirable or most
advantageous for the company. The COM
pany will furnish the brick in addition to
paying $4,000.
The cottages are to be finished before Christ
mas. All the rooms are to be ceiled.
The directors estimate that from fifty TO six
fy houses will be needed, but II was thought
advisable at present TO receive bids for only
forty houses.
Ordinarily mill, such as we are building,
would need sixty houses, but IL Is now pretty
veil settled that we will buy the Draper loom,
n which event, we will require about two
hundred and fifty hands instead of three
hundred with the less expensive looms. The
Draper loom, II Is thought, will save the pay
bf fifty hands in our MILL
The utmost harmony prevails among the
irectors, and each of them are conscious of

On last Wednesday, the oath OF June 1896,

of our town, after long and painful illness
passed over the river to that bourn from
whence no traveller returns.
Could the loving attendance OF Kind iriends
have kept him longer, he would not nave
died. All /! how sad, How true!
"There Is no flock, howsoever, watched and
tended.
But one dead lamb Is there,
There Is no household, howsoever defended,
But has one vacant chair"
During five long years Jimmie" as he was
familiarly known, suffered from muscular
rheumatism and catarrh OF the bowels. 80
patiently and so heroically did he endure his
suffering, that he won the esteem ana syfnpa'
thy Of all who knew him. His su1erings
seemed to have Sweetened his life, aud MADE
him the pet OF his entire family. He was his
motLer's only care-his mothers DARING.
And it was beautiful to see even IN the miast
OF his severe a1liction, with what thoughllul
tenderness he regarded that loving mother;
lie Will be sadly missed In that darkened
home. A mothers heart Is crying out;
"Oh for the touch OF q vanished hand,
And the sound of q voice that Is Stlll.
We would extend to the bereaved family

Notwithstanding the total vote was very
complimentary, showing m ajority OF 130 In
favor OF Water Works to 81 against the sys.
TEN. Our rail road friends turned out to q
man aud swelled the majority which shows
that we are a live progressive people and
from this time on will 20 forward In spite OF
all opposition. We have already slept too
long, and in doing so have seen the error OF
our way. Some opposed to Water Works
urge that 1t will only benefit those who own
property on our public square, and therefore
taxing the poor to keep up the property OF
the rich, we'll let's see: How many families
get their living in business on the square? ?
Suppose one or more blocks OF stores were
burned down, how many men would have TO
leave Abbeville to get employment to sup
port their families? So you see such an ar
gument is no good. Mark our prophecy: In u
few years men who are now opposd to Water
Works will be In favor of them. Water Is
not only a necessity, but luxury to the poor
as well as TO the rich. If we unite We can
and will make the Water Works OF Abbeyille
not only a blessing, but a grand success that
will be self sustaining In a few short years.
Next In order Is the organization OF fire
company who will make the move.
