Fire and Water.

We nave been asked to call public atten-
ton, and especially that of the city council
to the Importance of conn ctlng the water
works of the cotton mill with the water
works OF the city.
The supply Of water Is now not quite as
great as the fire companies n the property
owners would desire in case Of big fire.
But in case such connection Is made, and
the supply OF water and the pumping power
should be greater, II might be well enough
not to let the insurance companies into the
secret.
When The water works were first establish
ed it was claimed that insurance rates would
be lower than they had been. The Press
and Banner thought to get the lead Of rates
put in water pipes and two sets OF hose
and nczzles. The insurance people came
around and promptly raised the rate
A little later Mr.. ]. Allen Smith, in order &c
get lower insurance rates bricked up the
doorway up stairs which connected with the
Press and Banner. He did thia 10 get 8
cheaper rate OF insurance. We have no
heard of his experience in the matter, buI
we do know that in q little while after thai
doorway was closed so that there was nc
danger to US OF fire from his store. the agents
came around and raised the rates again.
II the companies should find out that we
had two sources Of water supply 1t looks at
if the rates might be raised TO prohIbitivt
rates, or at least to double the present rates

RURAL ROUTE MEN.
Cant Receive Subscriptions.

Notwithstanding the circulars issued from
the postoffice department on the subject
there has been doubt as 10 whether 1t was In
tended 10 prohibit rural free delivery carriers
from receiving subscriptions for county news
papers.
Several carriers have applied to the Enquir
er for In formation with regard 10 the matter,
and the Enquirer has In turn been trying to
get a positive and definite ruling on the sub
ject. The following from the office OF the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General under
date OF August 81, would seem to settle the
matter:
"Replylng to your inquiry Of recent date on
the subject, you are advised that under the

either on we elk days or Sundays.

method whatever, solicit money. gifts or pre-
sentE; nor issue for profit, souvenirs or postal

Bachelors.

Only one minister ofthe gospel In the city
of Abbeville has taken unto himself a wife
The Bible, we believe, suggests among Other
requirements. that a bishop must be husband
of one wife. Only In this respect are any O.
our preachers short in any of the divine re
quirements. But 1t is a fact that we have
only one married preacher. He has charge
Of the Methodist congregation. The pastors
OF the Presbyterian church. the Baptis1
church. and the Episcopal church have nc
wife and IT said that the Associate Reformed
Presbyterians will call q bachelor to take
charge Of them.
On the subject of bachelors this editor is
prepared to speak advisedly and feelingly

How and Where to Store Your
Cotton

could be stored from the weather, and held
during a depressed market, has been supplied
by the Abbeville Ware house.
Farmers seldom realize what loss they sus-
tain by keeping their cotton exposed to the
weather, thereby loosing both in weight and
quality and sometimes consumed by fire. All
such risk can be avoided by storing in the
ware house, which has a capicity of holding
several thousand bales which are fully cover.

draw upon their cotton, the Banks will cheer

From.present Indications, this seems to be a
year when many farmers are inclined to
hold their cotton for higher prices.

Signs.

There is always something amusing, If not
instructive. in walking through a city and
reading the wording, the spelling, and the
punctuation Of the different signs that are
hung out over places Of business. Abbeville
has some such sign-painting that would
defy the printers art to reproduce.
For instance: "Lunch-house by E. Nickel
Ter. No charge for politepess. Victuals is
cash." No printer could ever reproduce the
fantastic. delineations OF this board.
Again: On one OF the brick walls of the
Observation-Disclosures Waldorf-Astoria,) may
be found in chalk letters: "Hoetell."
One store room which has in 1t a box ball
alley n a bycicle shop, hangs out q sign
like this '.Cofins and Caskets."

some of which read like this: southern

Bound Over.

Two white men, strangers, who seemed
to belong to that variety of Travellers COM
monty known as tramps were arrested In
Abbeville last Friday, charged with passing
counterfeit money. We believe they had
passed three dollars Of spurious coin, and
that six dollars of The same kind were found
in their pockets. They were lodged In jail
and brought before Commissioner h. T.
Wardlaw, who, after taking the testimony
bound them over to the United States Court
in tine sum of $1,000. The evidence fully
justified the Commissions In so doing.
The prisoners excited sympathy from al
least one spectator. Their trial drew a
crowd of curious onlookers and the men, who
had gotten the advantage OF three men,
to the amount of three dollars were deemed
very bad men.
But, as far as cheating anybody was con
cerned they were scarcely sinners at all, and
their souls, in comparison with others who
walk uprlghtly and who steal under the guise
of a contract, were whittier than snow.
We could not but pity the ignorance of a
white man who would steal in violation Of
the law. A white man, and even an intelli-
gent negro. should study the criminal law,
and not make himself liable to the severes,
penalties for the slightest theft. In order to
succeed as an honorable thief the theft should
always be under the form OF a contract.

Biased Testimony.

The law which authorizes the defendant to
testify in a criminal case, is VIZ think, largely
responsible for the miscarriage of justice
The dead man cannot testify, the living
should not be allowed to do so. When a man
is on trial for his life, the possibility is, thai
his testimony may be a little biased.
