Liberal Offers.

We learn that the Farmers Clubs in this
county are working for q warehouse to be
built in Abbeville, and that the member OF
th @ clubs have determined TO " 1t them
&c Ives. This 10 we'll. By owing II, and by
acting in concert with Farmers Clubs IN
other countries, good results in the price Of
cotton are almost sure to folloW. We arr
quite sure that Harvie Jordan and his follow
ers, by united action. have saved many mil
lions to the cotton raiser. Even II the price
Of storage be fixed at cost, and no dividend if
paid on the stock. what do the s~tockholderf
care for q little dividend on their stock, II, by
storing cotton, a profit OF IS to $40 can be
made in the price of each bale9
We are informed that the Seaboard Air
Line Railway has offered the use OF land on
which to put the proposed new warehouse,
and thai the Southern Railway is also friend
ly and will give land and other needed help
to build the proposed warehouse.
We nave heard It stated that two clubs had
raised $500 in subscriptions to the capital
stock. The shares being $40 each, and nobody
has yet subscribed for more than twenty
shares. This proves that there Ia q united
and a determined effort TO bnild the new
war ehouse, and 1t looks now as ifthe prospect
was 30 good for big results that others than
farmers will not be needed as stockholders.
It is certain that they can build the new
warehouse, If they 30 determine, and 1t is
equally certain that the building ofe new
warehouse will contribute Its share to the
upholding of the price Of cotton. Nobody
cares particularly about the present cost Of
storing cotton, 1t lis the increased capacity
for storing cotton that they want. They
care little for dividends on their
stock, hit contri butes TO the increase OF the
price Of their crop.

KIN w what ails his patient the sickness is
charged up to his old friend" malaria" When
the patient is extremely Ill, and when the
physician Is conscious that he can do nothing
more for his relief the patient Ia sometimes
doomed to seclusion and denied the cheering
presence OF his friends. for days before his
death. In his helpless condition he Is, 80 TO
speak, sent to his tomb before the breath
leaves his body and before his senses depart.
It would be more merciful to kill the patient
outright.
The Rock Hill Herald says:
THE Editors condition had not improved
Acting upon the advice OF his physicians none

I'll q change for the better can a X place."
In the dark ages we believe that solitary
confinement was considered the acme OF
cruelty, In an age OF presumed enlighten-
ment, must our physicians resort 10 the meth
DDS of ess and 10 the forms OF extreme
cruelty?
A matter personal 10 this editor: When hit

bed, for days she expressed the desire TO see a
minister OF the gospel, but the heathenish

would contribute 10 the Ills that beset her, for
babe compliance with her request. Finally.
this writer. after obeying the orders OF the
physician for a time, concluded that the min
lister should be called. She was our mother.
and let the consequences be as they may, her
wishes should be respected, and we at once
set of for q minister who came before the
dawn OF another day. The effect OF his pres
ence was marvellous. Instead Of the depress-
ing effect as predicted by the heathenish ply
sician, the preachers presence had q most
happy effect, and for q lime 1t seemed as II she
would recover.
With the past experience, on our part, II
Editor Hull was in our charge, his wishes
should be respected. He should see his friends,
II he desired their presence. The exclusion
of friends from the BEDSIDE OF the dying is
one form OF cruelty for which We have neither
patience nor respect. And the wishes OF the
sick in this respect at least shall be respected
whenever we may have charge OF them. 1t Is
Just as we'll to treat the dying humanely and

Chester has q strange or unusual lawsuit
II seems that eight directors In q chartered

At the two elections since the organization
the ninth man was reelected by the stocs
holders. The directors have not regarded the

as being in the interests OF the company

Railroad

We SEQ that some Of the newspapers have
been asserting high alarm that nine men
control the railroad traffic of the United
States. And In this they see great danger
On the other hand, one man controls the
destinies OF this great nation, with noae to
intimidate and none TO make afraid. He
commands the armies and the navies. He
makes cabinets and appoints thousands Of
men 10 Office. And none Of these men dare
talk back to him. He Is accountable to no
body. With the fewest limitations his will is
law. He sets at defiance the will Of great
communities and nag appoint to Federal
office the most Objectionable man In the
city.
These nine men who control the railroads
In their combined capacity have no appreci-
abe power as compared with that OF the
presid lent OF the United States.
Possessing only %one.ninth OF the power
over the railroads, these same mighty indi'
vlduals are amenable to the Jurisdiction OF
all the Courts. From the Magistrates Court
OF q township to the Supreme Court Of the
United States these same mighty men must
stand accountable for the violations OF law
But the president whose official power is cir
cumBcribed nowhere, may do as he pleases,
without let or hindrnnce.
These mighty railroad men delegate their
little power to officers OF very small degree
and they are scattered all over this land To
harry and dismay the people. The appointers
OF these mighty railroad men are responsible
only to their master, and he who serves biz
M asst er best, is in line Of promotion. They
m ay not violate any law OF the land, but
their masters Oh occasion may permit them
to be uncivil and disagreeable TO the business
world, and there is no known remedy for
this evil. AS yet We have discovered no
method of riddiDg ourselves Of the annoy.
snce Of flies. And 30 II is, the public have
not yet discovered q remedy for the coarse
ness and the lack OF civility on the part OF
the exceedingly small men who act for
these nine great men in railroad circles.

will An Opera H0t1se pay'2

When the question OF building an opera
house IS mentioned TO the people or Aooe-
VILE, almost in variably the response comes
that an opera house will not pay. So fixed
has this idea become that 1t Is like swimming
up stream to take up the argument in Its IA
yor: nevertheless there are arguments In It's
favor we'll worth considering.
There is perhaps not a people in the State
who enjoy more light stage performances, or
who patronize them more literally. The
Woods Sisters, who have just nnlsheo a
weeks engagement here, played TO good
houses every night, despite the fact that sew.
eral OF their performances were below their
creditable standard, and despite the further
fact that there were two or three entertain
ments In the city which drew largely from
the younger people Of the town. 1t is under.
stood that Manager Hill Is we'll pleased with
his show of the profits.
No enterprise will pay that Ia not worked d;
but with q man Of Mr.. Hill's energy and en-
thusiasm to secure good companies, and With
an amusement loving public, generously sup
porting him, no fear need be entertained for
the success Of an opera house.
Suppose for instance that the old quarters
OF the Press and tanner and the Medium
were thrown into one room, With the story
elevated with corrugated iron sufficient to
meet stage requirements, a neat opera house
could be constructed at very little cost. Such
a building would pay five or ten dollars a
night for an average of ten nights in a month
for r. year.
These are mere suggestions, which 1t Is
hoped will arouse some enterprising real e.
tate men to realize that there are reasons
other than crying public necessity for build
ing q good public hall. May the suggestion
take root. and at no distant day materlalIze
In a nice city hall.
So far as we are Informed there is only one
other town in the State as large as AbbeVille
thai hasn't an opera house. We should not
be behind the procession.

Are You In?

Do you remember hearing about an old
man VINO had q number Of sons and who on
his death bed called his Sons TO him? When
they had assembled around his bed he sent
tor q bundle Of sticks, taking single sticks
from the bundle he gave 1t to his SONS and
asked them to break them. They broke
them easily. Then he handed them the en-.
tire bnndle and asked them to break them
altogether. After vain efforts the bundle was
returned to the old man unbroken. Thus,
said the old gentleman, as long as you are
united you will be strong and can Withstand
the face OF the enemy, divided you will be
broken one by one. as these sticks have been
broken.

sound? II course a man has the right to do

We see that a judgment has been rendered
against q railroad for $4,000, because a citizen
had lost on the train an arm by accident. Al
that rate a passenger is worth considerable.
Two arms, $4,000. Two legs, $4,000. Trimmed

stances, or Irritating conduct on the part OF
