THE LITERARY CLUB.
Excellent Essay - Hospitable Enter.
tainment--Pleasant Evening.

Last Friday night the Abbeville Literary
CLUB met at the home OF Mr.. r. M. Haddon.
where a most pleasant Getting was had. Mr.
]. M. Harden was president, and Mr. c. D.
Brown wac secretary, and better presid dent
and a better secretary the Club never had.
The president presides at the meetings. but
the secretary has much to do in the meetings
aud out OF the meetings. Under his admin.
istration no meeting was missed during last
year. s.....ys.-. =.
j. Fraser Lyon, Esq. read an essay ON. the
Beers and the war which they and the Eng.
lish are now waging, giving much informa
tion in reference to q small and yalorous ma
tion OF people who are filling so large place
in the eyes OF the peoples of the world.
In the discussion It developed that there
was considerable sympathy for the Beers,
but we believe there was no enmity for the
British. majority were unQualifedy in
favor of England, without reference to the
merit of the contest.
The Club was handsomely entertained. and
all enjoyed the good cheer inside, notwith-
standing the gloom outside which threatened
rain.
Mr. A. B. Morse is the next host, and Judge
Gary the next essayist.

cideEts and their causes.
In the thirty years from 1870 to 1899 the
report states. 9.575 lives were lost in and
about the anthracite coal mines OF Penn
sylvania. In commenting upon the fatali-
ties Chief RCderick says:
1T is generally conceded that the an
thracite law Of this State is the b-5t min
ing law in the world. Therefore, in my
opinion, the great loss CT life is not due to
any defect in the law: neither is it the
fault of the mine inspectors who are AN
intelligent and hard working body Of men.
Possibly neglect can be traced TO some
collieTy managementS. but the greatest
neglect is on the part of the employees.
calm that the mine law has been the
means OF greatly reducing the number of
accidents in the anthracite mines. and
will endeavor to prove this by figures.
In the first decade 1S70-1S79, for every
coo persons employed a percentage of
3.S3e persons lost their lives: in the sec
ond decade. 1SS0-fSs9. for every 1000 per-
sons employed 3.21o persons lost their
lives. while in the third decade. 1s90-1S99
for every 1.000 persons employed $40 lost
their lives"
The total production of coal in the ten
years. including 1S70-79. was 1s5. .924. $40
tons The total number of lives lost was
