Washington, Feb. 3.-From the
numerous inquiries received at the
interior department il Is evident that
there j. a whispered misapprehen-
sion about what j. to follow the
opening of the Indian territory.
The writers are of the impression
that the coming allotment Of lands
and the dissolution OF tribal rela-
tions by the Cherokees. Choctaws.
Chickasaws. Greeks and Seminoles
mean the opening 20 white settle
ment of large sections Of country.
The opening of the territory will
not be like that Of Oklahoma. II
does not mean the same a. the
opening of the reservations 81 wild
tribes.
Thcrr will o. no land added 10
the public domain BY the change
of conditions ia the territory. The
FIVE tribes were recognized as civil
ized whcn~hcy were given their
lands. NThcy received Zee simple
titles to the lands. The great res
crvatioms were bestowed upon them
a tribes ot communities. Now
the government will step in. some
what after the manner of n trustee.
and divide the lands owned by the
tribes among the individual MEM
bers thereof. That i what allot-
ment means in these eases. Dis
tribution would be a better word
than allotment. There will be no
surplus 20 throw open TO home
stead settlement. The Indians will
exchange the present tribal title
foT individual titles. They will
hold under the new form Of title
Just as they do under the present
title. That Is. they will own the
land. but cannot sell or transfer il
without the consent 81 the Unitcd
States. Authority will be given
these Indian owners to lease the
lands they receive in the distribu-
ton, but not to sell il. That viii
be a matter for legislation years
hence. when the government shall
have become satisfied that the In
dians are capable Of holding their
own with the white man.
II is estimated that in the COM
ing distribution Of the lands there
will be- enough fit for farms in the
I Cherokee nation to give each mem
Der a quarter sectiou-lGO acres.
In the other tribes the amount will
be larger. but n great deal Of the
land is mountainous and unfit FOR
farming. White men will be en-
abled to acquire title to property in
towns a. soon as townsitc legisla-
; ton is perfected, but there viii be
: no farming lands to be had except
under the leases from individual
members of the tribes.

The Teachers.

Abbeville wal delighted to have the teach
ers in town last week. Our citizens had In
vited them to be their guests on the occasion
of the institute. and, mingllng, as they did,
with our people, they made many friends at
Abbeville.
The institute itself was a great success In
every way. 1t was largely managed by home
talent, and this fact alone, gave popularity to
the daily exercises, which were attended dali
ly by the teachers, and the citizens OF the
town.
President Gillian discharged the duties
imposed upon him In a most acceptable man.
ner, winning friends to himself from teachers
and spectators.
Miss Lucy White, Miss Corrle McClung,
Miss Eva Kirby and other young ladies. fur
nished charming music.
Superintendent OF Education W.T.. Milford
has reason 10 be proud OF the profitable way
In which the Institute was conducted. Mr..
Milford has made q most efficient Superin-
of Education, giving great satisfac-
tion to teachers. pupils and parents in the
conduct OF the schools. Hedevotes his whole
and energy TO the discharge OF his off,
cial duties, and has always been pleasant
and agreeable in his Intercourse with the
people.

Outlook.

The business men of Abbeville have a cheer
fol outlook before them. The business at the
banks and the stores has been good during
the whole year.
Three stores are being enlarged to accom-
modate the Fall trade. and every store is oc-
cupied. Although hundreds OF new houses
have been built within the last few years,
yet, we believe that there is not to-day a va
cant house In town.
The accounts from the farms is most assur-
ing, and II no calamity befalls the growing
crops. the trade at Abbevflle next Winter
will be the greatest in the history Of the town.
The cotton mill will add something to the
business Of the place. Forty houses are
filled with people at the mill. and a large
amount OF ready cash will be required to pay
of the hands. The large sums thus paid by
the Railroad and the cotton mill will put
ready cash In circulation the year round.
The opening ofthe cotton mill will create a
new demand for the staple, and II Is quite
probable that the better market and the in
creased demand will max a large increase
of cotton sales at Abbeyille. The Increase OF
the sales OF cotton will add to the business of
the town, and so 1t goes. All will be bene-
fitted by the greater activity which has Ia
ken the place OF the former stagnation.
Abbeville seems to have O bright future be-
for her.

Slavery and Free Trade.

In the days OF Calhoun he was the cham
pion Of slavery and all his efforts were direct
ed to the perpetuation of slavery. To perpet-
uate slavery it was thought best TO make the
South an agricultural, and not a manufacture
ing country. The plan was to withhold OPP
portunities from the non-slaveholder to find
profitable employment. The laboring white
man could not compete with slave labor on
the plantations, and If no opportunity was
afforded for him TO engage In manufacturing
enterprises he must leave the old settled slave
States 10 seek homes elsewhere. The non
shareholders who owned land were. in hun
dreds Of instances, practically forced to sell
his real estate. And when the land was out
Of bis possession, he could not get other land
in the slaveholding neighborhoods.
"Poor white trash" were undesirable citi-
zens and they were encouraged to go West.
With the abolition of slavery the principle
OF free trade became extinct, and is today no
more an issue than slavery. Free trade was
based on slavery, and when slavery passed
free trade was no more TO be thought Of En-
cept as a dead Issue.
A politician who wou today advocate free
trade and quote Calhoun as an authority, Is

rise in his pulpit and show from the Bible the
and justice Of slavery.
The one idea is not more dead than the
other.
The great mistake which McLaurin has
made in this campaign was made when he
went on the defensive as 10 protection. In
stead OF p~ronouncing boldly for the great doc
trine which must rule this country.

Family prayer supplies parental op.
portunity. BY it the foundations of
doctrines may be laid, reproofs ad-
ministered, divine authority recognize
ed, dangers apprehended and avoided.
1t is much easier to govern a family of
children where parents and children
habitually invoke Gods blessing. Fam
lily prayer, especially where there are
any very young children, or worldly
minded young people, need not be OBJ
jectionably %protracted. How many
things one can ask for in a prayer one
minute long! Let us have the fixed
order. Never omit it. Before break
fast or after breakfast or after supper;
fix the time and daily mark it. Sit
down deliberately. Avoid all signs of
haste. Read carefully a few verses
five, ten, or more. Kneel for prayer.
Then pray. Pray for something def
mite. Pray briefly, but in a calm re-
weren't and leisurely manner. Open
the home and the hearts that are in it
to the heavens. Do this daily. Let
nothing prevent. The reward will
come.

MOST DISTINGUISH AS A JUDGE.

But It Is as a magistrate of the supreme
courts, holding the scales OF justice with q
firm hand. that Judge MCGOWAN is most dis.
tingulshed and will be best known in after
times. His high sense of Justice, as well as
bis robust intellect and good heart, eminent
ly qualified him for the discharge of the deli
cate and responsible duties of Judge. 1t has
been well said: "That the office OF Judge has
always been regarded with respect and con.
sideratIou. Great and good men have at all
times In South Carolina performed Its duties
and won It's honors. If duty be attended by
responsibility, If dignity be attached to sta
tion and power. the Judicial authority TO Co
cree and restrain, 10 counsel and command
the legislative and executive departments of
the government, TO interpret the legislative
will and its great fun ctlon, to dispense JUS
tice, constitute 1t an office Of the highest dig
nifty and the greatest responsibility" With
out attempting TO single out or specify any
particu lar opinions Of Judge MCGOWAN, It
may be enough TO say that they are all en-
braced In the twenty volumes OF the South
Carolina Reports (Shand) from number Ii to
80. These permanent memorials which will
60 down to posterity afford the best measure
OF his industry and learning, and Of the
strength of his intellect as we'll as OF his high
sense OF justice. But 1t may be said with per-
feet truth that, taken as a whole, they will be
found to be equal to those Of any one Of the
long list OF distinguished judges and chancel-
lors who adorn the judicial annals Of South
Carolina.

Friendships are as diverse as the
bases upon which they rest. Many of
our friendships rest upon nothing more
substantial than the fact that we hap
pened to be thrown with certain per-
sons. They live nea uS, or we meet
them frequently in our daily work. In
similar conditions we might have be-
come attached to ten thousand other
persons. There are others between
whom and ourselves the first tie was
equally fragile, but, as we came to
know them better, we discovered an
identity of tastes, and were constantly
surprised by unexpected agreements.
Thus the bond of deep sympathy was
formed between Is. There are still
others to whom our moral admiration
goes forth. The sweetness and strength
Of their character appeals to US. Their
sympathy is precious. We count our
selves fortunate that we ever came to
enjoy the confidence of their charming
and inspiring fellowship. We talk
lightly of love as though the word
always meant one thing. There are
many different kinds of love. Only
one of the bonds of which we have
spoken may subsist between people
who are said to love each other, or all
may subsist, but with varying degrees
of strength in different cases. And
beyond all this is there not a harmony
of souls which the keenest analysis
cannot precisely define? A look from
another's eye, a gesture, and the choice
of a word, an accent becomes an open
door through which we can discern a
spirit to which we are drawn. Per-
haps all of the deepest love is in GER
tain respects love at first sight. We
do not reason about it, we are moved
by it.
