Talk About Bosses.

We have heard much OF bosses in South
Carolina, but is not Tillman king OF all the
bosses He does as he pleases votes with
the Republicans at will; coquets with Popn-
lists and Republicans in Convention ;
changes his mind as often as he pleases, and
then tells the boys how TO vote. And 1t is
said that they will do his bidding every time.
II must be very gratifying to Mr.. Tillman to
see the unquestloning eagerness Of the boys
TO follow his directions. 1t Is equally Won
derful to see his former enemies now so near
ly in the Tillman column,
Tillman is certainly q great man. 1t Is
said that he recently passed the word along
the line telling the boys to vote in Stokes's 8
district, for Judge Buchanan, and 1t is said
that his friends will obey his instructions,
and respect his wishes.
1t Is further said that Tillman intends 10
make selection of McLaurin's successor.
Political influence Is q great thing. In
former years when man attempted to specu-
late on their votes, or attempted to control
them, there was often disappointment. Now,
a man may claim to have q majority Of the
votes of the State stored away in the recesses
OF his vest pocket.
Truly, 1t is great to be free, without even the
trouble Of investigating great national issues,
or doing any thinking for ones SELF
Thoughts, like clothing, are now ready-made
tor those Of us who live in Tillman's land.

How to Cure insomnia.

It is now a generally recognized fact
that one Of the most prolific causes or
insomnia is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually in q disturbed condi-
ton of the digestive organs If In moth
ing more serious. The remedy IN such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where insomnia of protract-
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
a period of fasting There are few
cases Of sleeplessness, in fact in which
a little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking OF cold
water just before retiring Is often
highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power Is
a generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness, the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.

Small Enterprise For AbbevilIe.

There seems to be healthy strong and de-
termined spirit pervading the minds OF our
people now to bring Abbeville TO the front.
No special boom or excitement In the matter
but whenever an enterprise is mentioned
there seems to be willingness on the part OF
great many TO subscribe and push the enter
prise along.
It seems to me what we need more than any
are people OF moderate means and cannot at
this time undertake large enterprises, but we
can put in operation several small ones, and
1 do not know but that these smaller enter
prises pay much better according to the mon
ey invested than the larger ones.
factories and the town has literally grown up
In the woods In the last few years and today
II is the furniture manufacturing center OF
the South. The plants cost from Is TO 10 thous
and dollars each, and the town has been made
by these small factories.
There is plenty OF oak and popular in our
county for the manufacture of cheap furni-
ture and IT can be procured at a lower price as
compared with other localities. Stock In
these factories, is not purchasable and they
are paying from Is to 25 per cent. dividends,
and some are even doing better than this.
Cheap furniture Is no drag on the market,
and finds ready sale at all times. Our fur
grade of furniture, as the factories are mon tbs
behind with their orders. There are only
furniture factories In this State, and the larg-
est one at Laurens the other day increased It's
capital stock to 100000.
Abbeville is all right. There is not better
and more clever set OF people in the United
States, and all we want now is to get together
stick to home people, build small enterprises,
keep our money at home. quit running our
town down, and We will see brighter day
ahead for us. There are several small enter.
prises OF this class paying we'll and we should
look into The matter thoroughly and 60
ahead. Very Respectfully.

General in Their Application.

The Spartan burg Herald says:
Justice demands that when laws are passed
they should be general in their application
And so with pardons. They should be
handed around impartially. Except for Col
Meals political power and influence, and pos
sibly because his enemies desired TO destroy
his influence, 1t is fair to presume Col. Neal
would have never been prosecuted or perse.
cuted, as the case may be, on mere techni.
cality because Of the belated turning over OF
his money.
But his enemies had the right to pun
ish him, and we presume the jury and
the judge that tried the case, could not have
done otherwise than do as they did.
AS 1t is, the law has been vindicated and
his enemies are satisfied. Even those who
may be slow to pay their own debts may cast
stones at him. 1t Is possible that some men
who may never pay their honest debts can
cast rocks at him.
Since writing the above, we notice that the
Attorney General puts quite different phase
on the Neal case from that published un'
officially. And SO we know nothing.

Be Gentle.

Does it pay to find fault? You who
are the! wise keepers of houses, and
the dear keepers of hearts, does it
pay? There are heavy burdens to
bear all day-manifoId cares from the
rising to the setting Of the sun-blund-
ers made by those who should have
known better, many a thing to an
noy but don't make cold and cheer
less the home atmosphere by finding
fault.
Not that the errors should 90 unre-
buked, or mistakes uncorrected; but
note sucn down in your memory, and
when the work and care and tumult of
the day are all over, then call the little
ones and the larger ones around Won
and tell them soberly, but kindly, of
the wrong-doings, and see if you are
not amply repaid for your forbearance
by the smile and the tear, and the little
word of contrition and promises of
amendment. You will be thousand
times happier when you lie down to
Sleep. and sweet forgetfulness has
settled over your little flock, than YOU
would have been had the blue ewes now
closed been filled with bitter tears that
overflowed at unkind censure, or had
the little golden head dropped under
the shadow of your constant frown.
How fair and sweet and satisfying
life might be to us all if we would for
get to fret, and find fault, and com
plain. Don't save your words of
praise and appreciation until it is too
late. You love the little children-the
dear little children And if they do
speak loud, and leave the doors open
that should be shut, and disturb the
order OF the house, don't find fault.
1t won't pay.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve 1t In .
Tempting Way.

How to Prepare and Serve 1t In
Tempting Way.
As the patient begins to regain health
and strength more solid food Is given
milk or cream toast, soft boiled or
poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or
sometimes fresh fruits or well Dakea
potato. Great care must be taken not
to overtax the digestive organs. Re-
lapses are often caused by too much In
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. A broiled bird or
q piece Of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient is in a suf11-
ciently advanced stage Of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When they are overlooked,
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream soups are valuable, as they are
nourishing and easily digested, but
they should not be boiled too long. T,
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the serving of food for sick
person. The faint appetite Of illness
can best be coaxed by the daintiness OF
the food. Serve the food on tray with
q fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
IT. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to. put so
much on at one time that the sick one
is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or little sprig Of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often an incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
attempt vase Of flowers unless 1t be
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much COL
or, so as to weary the eye. If the china
is all Of single pale tint the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eye Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the size
Of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains of food served stand IN the SICK
room after the patient has been fed. n
Let all hot foods be served imme-
diately after. they are prepared, and 1t
seems superfuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all cold
dishes equally cold. However, this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same tenn.
perature. --......-.-..-....-,,.,.,.,.r. ..
There are great many simple, dain-
ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids, especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often
given and Is very nutritious and can be
digested by some very i'll patients, and
! it Is almost always relished.

Who Was 1t Got Married.

One thing has been proven beyond q doubt
the past week, and that is that the people Of
Abbeville most certainly have great and
superabundance Of curiosity, enough to kill
the proverbial cat and more than enough to
kill Lots wife, and for fear. that that over
abundance Of curiosity might cause some one
will ever afterwards be sorry, the writer has
decided to make known to the public the
names OF the parties who were united In mar
riage by Rev. M. W. Gordon In his study one
evening near the midnight hour. They were
Thomas Grey who runs barber shop In the
old building opposite the public we'll and
Georgia Reed, colored. The public will now
likely rest satisfied on the marriage question,
and may now turn their attention to Wouder-
Ing over some other hidden mystery.

The Governor in granting pardon to Col

guage at the close Of his written statement.
1t is the severest speech that we have seen OF
Col. Neal, and we would have been glad II
the Governor had graciously given the par.
don without landing the official boot. He
says:
"Imprisonment under such circumstances
could not add anything TO the humiliation OF
one who has occupied such positions as Neal,
but could only bring sorrow and pain TO his
wife and children, and the exercise of that
clemency which / am authorized under the
constitution to exercise, may be the means of
inspiring him to an earnest endeavor to re-
deem his life and reinsatte himself In the
good opinion OF his fellow citizens"
