County Home.

=, Supervisor G. N. Nickles has done much 10
advance the interests OF Abbeville county,
and in nothing has he done a better service
b In the building. of q new poor house.
which will hereafter be known as the "Coun'
ty home"
The structure Is Of brick which brick we're
put in the walls by the convicts' unoer Tue
direction and supervision OF Mr.. Lutnef
Williams and Mr.. Andrew Woodhurst. In
the building are l5O,OO brick, the cost OF lay
, ing of which, outside the convict labor was
only 500.
The woodwork was dom by convicts IN
charge OF Mr.. Shredder.
y The plan Of the building is good and all the
work has been we'll done.
The building Is $50 feet long, and 81 feet
/. wide, q hallway running through.
Six rooms are for white people and ten
rooms are for colored people. The partitions
are OF brick. A wall midway Of the building
,r,anarates white and colored tenants. Tit
same roof covers all, but the division OF lne
building into two separate and distinct paf1s
makes the whole as practically Two ouilo'
ings.
Preparations are made for laying OF the
floors on tar and SAND. rloors Woll iaio AZ
this way are more desirable in many ways
than when laid on wood close to the ground
The room ia warmer, the floor is more sub
~.stantfal, and the flooring will last longer
Thar II put down on jolsts near the ground.
It'll claimed that ne county In the State
win have q more comfortable poor house
than Abbeville will have when this house Is
finished. $1,000 is the estimated cost. moi
counting convict labor. This house will
bring about!a great saving in wood.
1t has been said, not by Mr.. Nickles, thai
he was considering the plan OF heating the
building by steam. The steam heat would
'"be vastly better and much cheaper than TIT
existing method. and some of us hope tina
the steam heating plant may be installed.
Supervisor. Nickels has built many new
bridges, and laid out new, roads; but In th'
work OF making Gordon's muddy lane better
than q plank road he takes the cake. By tint
use OF Aiken d Links ebert that heretofore
almost impossible wagon way is now ss leve
and as solid as the best Of our sound side

Vow we have no doubt these
wretched persons felt the humiliation
of their position keenly, and wonld
have much preferred to enjoy the
bounty OF those charitably disposed Al
their own abodes rather than being
brought 10 Rutland and shown as OBJ
iects OF pity, or perhaps, of morbid
interest. IL was not necessary to the
proper enjoyment OF their act of char
ity that the givers should parade in
public the squalor OF the recipients,
OF course to the shame and embarass-
ment Of the latter.
What peculiar trait OF human nature
is it that apparently enjoys making a
show OF wretchedness in others so as
TO attract public attention toward the
charity that seeks to alleviate il for
the moment? Would the same pee
pie in Rutland have given as freely
with the knowledge that the comforts
were to be carried in secret to the
same needy people of the hills?
