TO Orange Blossoms and
Bridal Walls.
MRS. TAGGART

MRS. TAGGARI
Is prepared with all the necessary
machinery to answer all calls for ac-
cordeon plating Of either skirts OF
frills. =.
The angels of the starry cline
sometimes veil their faces, but beau
tiful women of the earth wear plated
skirts and futed frills every day in
the week and Sunday too. All the
women who wear the garniture pre-
pared by Mrs. Taggart have hosts OF
admirers and all the girls whom she
dresses are so bewitching when they
go to work that they must take the
dogs along to keep the lovers away.
And for those who with sweet attrac-
tive graces and pretty dresses stay at
home the old gentleman must pre-
pare extra hat racks and extra lights.
Plain girls in plain attire may be
induced to stay at home, but Mrs.
Taggart's customers are called away
to shine in other hearts and other
homes.
Plated skirts and futed frills are
forerunners of orange blossoms and
bridal wells. The one necessarily fol-
lows the other.

Ladies, if you are going to
buy anything for your table,
or in odd pieces of china why
not come to the store where
you have the largest line in
town to select from? You
would like our way of selling
china for your table, for the
reason that the open stock
way is by odds the best way
to buy, the principal reason
being that you can make
your own selection, and then
you can have your set intact
for an indefinite period.

Mr.. Earl Allen, a Former Citizen OF
LowndcsvilIe, Shot to Death by
Negro.
Lowndesville, Oct. ia few years
ago Mr.. Earl Allen, son of Mr.. B.
Boiin Allen, q prominent citizen of
this place, went to Marengo county,
Alabama, and there engaged in busi-
ess. Some days ago large burly ne
gro sold bale Of cotton belonging to
Mr.. Earl Allen and then he rode over
to see and demonstrate with him about
it. Suddenly the negro knocked him
off his horse and made at him with his
knife. Mr.. Allen, seeing the negro ad-
vancing, drew bis pistol and fired, in
flicting q slight wound. The negro
dropped his knife and clinched Mr..
Allen and wrenched his pistol from
him, and shot him in the side. He
fingered for six days and died on the
evening of OcG. IL. His body arrived
Friday evening and was buried Satur-
day.
His two brothers, Mr.. Clement Allen
of Washington, D. g., and DIR. Henry
Allen of Americus, Ca, attended the
funeral.
Mr.. Allen was a nephew of Senator
Latimer.
Your correspondent gained the above
details from Mr.. Holly, who accom-
panied the body to this place.
The negro was captured 40 miles
from where the deed was committed
and lodged in jail.

Placing the Blame Where ID Belongs

PLACING the blam0 HneEe IL oelOuks
The Chester Lantern in tho following arti
Gle expresses our sen ntiments better than W.
can do. and We copy the same right here
The Lantern says:
It 10 becoming more and more evident thai
there n need OF Tightening up the law whiot
relates 10 the granting OF bail TO persons
charged with murder. Tho law a. II stands
would warrant sufficient difficulty In secur'
Interpretation. and our judges seem TO us to
strain II 10 the limit In this direction. Not
only this, but the accused appear TO get the
facts in tho case. This may be fair in his
trial before jury, but we do think It is very
unfair TO the public 10 give the defendant the
very great advantage which the granting oi
bail Invariably carries with 1t. he certainly
has enough advantage in bis trial without
this. Tho protection Of peace-loving and
law.abiding citizens should come In for
confederation.
But it is hardly worth while TO appeal 10
the judges for correction OF this evil. II
seems 10 have become the settled policy OF
the judiciary, in the matter In question, TO
law will permit. This is true TO such an ex-
tent that they probably regard II as having
the authority OF law. II is certainly true that
judges who are above reproach In personal
character, patriotism snd legal ability,
follow the practice about which We are com.
The remedy then, We believe, i, TO be
found in amending the law so as TO make II
clear, and present conditions and tendencies
demand that 1t be made decidedly more
stringent
We have long thought that our judges.
more than our juries, were responsible for
tho lack OF the enfocement OF the criminal
law. 1t il very easy to blame jurors. Their
numbers make the application general, to
place tho blame where It properly belongs
might be personal.
II the judges made the man slayers stay in
duty on the panel. Disguise 1t as You may,
Jurors are largely governed by what they
may think the judge thinks is right The
duty OF juror 10 not le.s important than the
duty OF Jrdse. II the judge. by his bail,
innmates TO the jurors that he considers the
crime slight one, then the ponsl may
acquit, and the newspapers may talk Of per.
Jured jurors. A judge may take months to
make up his mind on any given case, but
u juror, ignorant Of law, must render in q
few hours his verdict, while tho judge may
lake weeks or months 10 pass on the work OF
the jury.
or course in many instances the public
judge hastily, as they have not the actual
fac,s as produced by way Of testimony before
the Judge. II the judge with the clearer
statement OF facts before him decides that a
cake ls baiIable. 1t iB his right, and II is
proper that he should grant bail, but the
bond should be sufficient in amount to be q
deterrirg factor against the repetition OF
crime.

THE NEW WAREHOUSES;.
PROGRESS In Being Made for Addition.
al Storage Room.


The addition TO the farmers warehouse is
far advanced toward completion. About one
half the roof timbers are ready for the tin.
The addition IL to be covered with double
dipped Lenox tin, at cost of SIS square. Mr..
Dargan has the contract. While tin costs .
little more than the cheaper material, we
have no hesitation in saying that Mr.. Cox
and Lie advisors did right in using the
metal.
The work on Capt. Lyons new warehouse
has been barely begun. The foundations are
being laid in stone By the middle OF the
week It IL hoped that the work Of laying
brick may be commenced.
The brick and stone with which the old
Southern depot was built 10 to be used In
building Capt. Lyons warehouse. The gen.
eral appearance will be very much az wal
that OF the depot where It. stood here for nifty
three years. The foundations were of stone
all of which shat were removed, will be usec
in the foundation Of the warehouse. and or
which the brick will be laid. The warehouse
Is to be built On the eastern side Of the track
exactly opposite 10 whore the depot stood
It like the Farmers new warehouse, 10 TO bt
covered with tin. The old tin will be used al
far a. 1t will 60, and new tin is to finish the
covering.
The actual cost of tearing down the old de
pot was mucn more than was the estimated
cost. About ten or twelve hands were a
work at 1t for three weeks.
the old depot was finished and ready fol
tho cars In 1852. Mr.. Hammond informs ul
that an old clock which stood In the office fol
many years had this legend painted on tht
face OF the glass: First train Of cars came
July "a. 1885,"
The fact that the old depot was finished be
fore the arrival OF the first train Of cars proves
that the depot was built more than fifty three
years ago.
The brick dwelling on lower main street
now owned by DR.. Gsmbrell, 1s the oldes
brick house now standing in Abbeville. W.
are not informed when 1t was built, but Il
was certainly In existence fifty years ago
The old houses Of tho town have been disap
pear,ng OF late. The Archer house. the form
or home OF DR.. l. T. Hill. The Wardisw house
occupied by Capt. L.W. White. the John White
homestead, the Dendy corner, the DR.. JOSEPH
Wardlsw houte on the Presbyterian church
lot, and the Noble house have all given place
TO newer and more elegant structures.
