santuck Farmer.

Once upon a time not five days ago,
a certain Santuck farmer went out to
farm. When he reached his cotton
field, where, only a short time before,
he had planted his seed, now q howl
ing wilderness of Crab grass met ms
astonished vision. It Is said that 30
Iuxuriant was the jungle Of crab grass
that the farmer could not tell In what
direction the rows went! And after
a hasty survey of the spectacle and on
hearing the sOnorous notes OF q DUH
frog in an adjoining pond, be hed IN
terror and trepidation from the f1eid,
managing that he had heard tne
mighty oar of a Bengal tiger from the
crab grass jungle.
If the above is true it is almoat equais
to the mysterious disappearance % .
certain farmer living below Abbevnle.
This poor man, it is said, is wandering
around in a 25 acre field, totally lost In
crab grass! And what makes 1t more
sad is that he cannot be rescued BY his
family who are afraid to approach the
Crab grass wilderness for fear they too
will be swallowed up. They al only
stand on the outer edge of the jungle
and listen to the heart rending squalls;
of the poor hombre as he yells frantis
cally for help.
There is a rumor that another man
has been lost in a similar way on bit
tie River.

New DepOt.

And now the talk Is, that Abbeville may
have q new depot for the Southern Railway.
AS We understand the situation, it Is In about
this way: The railroad folk. in the city
OF Washington, are ready to build the
new depot, and will do 30 as soon as the
local agent and the authorities at Wash.
ington can agree as to the cite and the charac.
ter OF the building TO be erected. Mr.. Brown
thinks the city council would give a lot near
the guard house, for a passenger depot which
would be very near 10 the public square, and
be of great advantage to the travelling pub.
lie. The track could be extended up and
along the spring branch, or on Branch street.
In case the proposition 10 move the passen.
ger depot up town should fail, we understand
the idea Of the local agent Ia, 10 build a house
which should include q passenger and q
freight depot under one roof. OF the
lane now owned by the Railroad, the existing
buildings 10 be torn away after the new ar.
rangements are perfected.
The old depot is the first depot that the road
built In this town. 1t has been standing for
fifty years, and while it is yet q strong and
substantial structure 1t Is not quite up TO the
reQuirments of a progressive city. All Of our
people will be glad to see a new and up to-
date structure either on the railroad property
or on the property Of the town, near
the guard house, and it is hoped that the
authorities may unite or agree on some
action looking to the welfare OF all. Even II
our efficient local agent who has served the
company and this people so well for many
years, should fail to get all that be wants, or
may think that this community needs, we
hope that he will consent to accept the
best that the company may offer. Any.
thing is better than the present accomnoda.

Mr.. Wells New Book.

Rev. P. B. Wells has just bad published a
book entitled, 1.-THE English Bible" The pur-
pose Of the work is to give a survey Of the
external history Of the Bible. No attempt is
made to explain the doctrines OF the Bible or
TO interpret the holy text. The book Is
merely meant TO show how the Scriptures
bave come down to US, to trace the holy text
through all Of Its intricate windings dow to
the present time. II is not intended for
scholars who have access to large libraries,
but rather for men who have not the time
and opportunities for investigation and
research and are yet interested in the history
Of the sacred canon. AS such, 1t Is admirably
udapted to the purpose for which It was in
tended.
The author has spared nc pains or expense
in the compilation of thisv volume, as a SIM
pie perusal OF the work will at once indicate.
The diagrams illustrating the sources for the
recovery Of the New Testament and the He
brew Texts, together with the tabular state.
ments alone, must have required no small
amount OF labor.
The author may justly be proud Of the
work.

In the last issue of the paper there was
some comment on the attempt to purge the
State Pension Rolls and some criticism OF
what we thought a disposition to Cypress the
old soldier whoser record was perhaps not al
ways the best. The article was based on an
article In the Columbia Record from which
We inferred that the Comptroller General
had take en- the Initiative in this matter.
We are glad however. upon being better in.
formed, to state that the Comptroller General
is only ex of1cio a member of the Pension
Board which is composed of himselfand four
old soldiers, and hat he did not even vote on
this measuere passed by the Board.
1t was his duty to publish and execute the
order, as instructed.

The Croak err Worse Than the Vagrant.

We see that various enterprlsing commu.
mites are seeking immigrants. Being OF an
accommodating disposition Abbevllle would
be glad to contribute two small colonies to
the first ambitious towns that shall seek our
help in increasing their population. We
have a small number in two classes all Of
whom we would be glad to be rid.
First.-Al those who see no good In Able
VILE, and who think that nothing succeeds
here.
Second.-All the ~loafing, lazy, good for
nothing citizens who toll not neither do they
spin, but, like leeches, live on others.
The second class may be tolerated by good
natured people but to exercise patience With
the first class requires q much larger draft on
the Christian graces.
While the second class are simply negative
nuisances, the first class to which reference
is had, are positive enemies to the town In
which they live, and a decent regard for their
own selfrespect should induce them to move
on, and get out Of the own where they de
serve TO be held In small respect.
The Sumter Herald has this to say OIL
"Croakers."
Quit croaking and talk up your town. II
your Town does not suit you move out TO
cannot get along without you and your
fiambasted kicking just get straddle OF the
cross ties, say farewel and see IL Cnlei OIL
Police Brad ford will ask Judge Hurst to issue
an Injunction TO keep you from getting
away"
No croaker, as far ss we are informed, COD
tributes anything by money, energy or en-
couraging words 10 any enterprise. All he
can do is to abuse the town In which he lives,
and to iniure the neighbors who tolerate the
intolerable nuisance of his presence. A
MAI that talks against his home town and
refuses to give aid and encouragement 10
those who are struggling for the welfare OF
all, should lock himself in q dark room
where he could not be seen by his more re-
spectacle %neighbors. Migrants do no other
harm than to live on the labor Of
others. AS between a croaker and the va
grant, give US the vagrant. The vagrant has
no ambition TO bother anybody, and is will
ling to let the world wag as 1t will, but the
croak Or stands ready to scotch all the wheels
Of progress and to find fault with every
proposition to build up the town. He is pre-
sumptious in trying to chill the ardor and
the energy of his more patriotic and public
spirited nelghbors.
In placing him on the chaingang great In.
Justice has been done to the vagrant while the
greater public enemy, the croaker, Is allowed
TO 90 at liberty On the streets Of the town
that he would defle. Migrants do compar-
atively little harm, but croakers ruin a town,
and respectable people ought to ask them to
move on. Their proper place is on our chain
gang. or else they should seek citizenship
elsewhere.

Time Worse Than Wasted.

The superintendent Of schools in Illinois
puts In his official papers for the instruction
Of the children Of that State, the old charge,
against the South OF cruelty to Federal pris
oners at A~ndersonville. That was mean.
The Georgia State Superintendent of Edu,
= cation tries to prove that the cruelty at An.
Jacksonville was not greater than the cruelty
TO Confederate prisoners In Northern prisons
hat was foolish.
The war is over, and nearly, or quite, all OIL
the perpetrators OF these cruelties, which need
not be denied. have gone to their reward; and
even ifthey were all living today their inhu.
mainly to helpless prisoners, did not and does
not reflect the sentiment Of the people on
either side-North or South.
1t is idle to deny that the prisoners on eth
or side underwent great %privations and suffer
ed cruel hardships.
1t is true that the death rate in both the
Northern n the Southern prisons is q dis.
grace to the American people.
Personally. the Press and Banner Is asham.
ed OF the treatment accorded to Federal pris.
oners at Andersonville. We recall no act OF
the Confederate government which we think
approached the inhumanity exercised to-
ward the Federal prisoners In that stockade.
But II Is ~unspeakably mean of the Illinois
superintendent Of Education to try 10 create
the impression upon the children Of his State
tn at this cruelty was q representative act Of
either the people or the government OF the
South.
1t is out of the question for anybody to con.
vince he people Of this day and time that
the Federal prisoners received the same
rations and the same medical attention thai
were given 10 the Confederate soldiers.
The Confederate government had not the
medical supplies which were required fol-
either. As we understand, the South desired
to send these prise pers home because of the
lack OF rations and medicine. but the Federal
government refused to exchange prisoners
and refused to avail itself Of the offered op.
portunity to care for their own people who
were prisoners in our hands.
But 1t is useless to try to. opportion the
blame. 1t Ia mean to revive bitter memories
as TO the treatment Of soldiers on either side.
and 1t Is unbecoming In a brave and chivalric
people 10 be always whining about the treat
ment which JEFF Davis received.
