Carnival Notes.

The Carnival people had fine weather
the entire week, and tho shows were
well attended every day and night. The
young people especially endowed the week.
From the time the merry -sc-round started
until 1t stopped Saturday night, crowds OF
little fellows thronged the grounds.
The shows were about the same as are CON-
mon to street fairs, the Big Snakes and the
Kat zerjammer Kastle being the only novel;
ties. The Flying Lady and the disappearing
act at the Hipdoo Hoodoo's tent mystihed
many. Some thought that they could explain
but they haven't done so yet. Listening to
the spectators as they made their exit. one
could hear, compressed air." "wires" "iron
rods" partition box" and many other MUIR
mere.
1t is said that certain sedate townsmen were
partial 10 the Katzepjammer Kastle. The
irregular movement OF the co%ntrivance being
almost the same as certain psy SOCIOLOGICAL. or
rather physiological conditions, Is supposed
to be the reason.
The manager of the Old Plantation melo'
dies will soon be able to retire. Since he has
been on the road With his show he has clean
ed up over eight thousand dollars.
1t has been safely estimated that the shows
took In in cash. not less than eighteen hun.
dred dollars, and the other little schemes eight
hundred and forty dollars, making a total of
twenty six hundred and forty dollars. They
left In the city probably about eight hundred
dollars, which was paid for expenses. This
leaves the OWL poorer by about eighteen
hundred and fifty dollars, but who cares?
Many negroes were in attendance. Not
over fifty or seventy five negroes attended the
circus OF two weeks ago, but during this street
fair they have been easily persuaded to part
with their dimes. The merry-go-round was
especially attractive 10 them.
Isn't 1t wonderful how popular the tents OF
the fortune teilers are? We are all just a little
supersutious and prefer TO have good fortunes
read from our palms to bad ones.
Ifthe Irish Egyptian tells us a good fortune
we are elated, II she tells "a a bad one we for
get 1t. Some have heir fortunes told atevery
chance, and again some would not have their
fortunes told for a twenty dollar bill. 1t IL
hard To tell which class Is the most super
stitious.

fetti.

Fatbacks and RazOrbacks.

The negro preachers of New York city have
worked themselves into q frenzy over the dis
charge Of the three companies OF negro SOL
dlersEof the Twenty Fifth United States In
fantry. They have arraigned the President
and passed resolutions from the pulpit galore.
of which the following Is an example,:
"That the action OF the President OF the
United States Is most heartily disapproved
by us, and Ia SO much the more d~isapproved
by us because OF the high regard we have
hitherto cherished for him."
A nice kettle OF fish indeed!
In addition 10 this some sodden-in-hate
for-the-South. pro Africano, right or wrong,
members Of New York and Philadelphia So
cIetys have read OF the disbsnding of these
companies in some spicy little sheet and the
result is that these disgraced soldiers are to
be brought to New York and cared for as is
BETTING martyrs.
Another nice large kettle of fish!
or course these negro preachers and white
philanthropists ~ know more about the al
fair than the President. The President made
an gorgeous blunder In not consulting these
fellows before taking any action. The ground
on which the President dtsbanded these COM
panies was their having concealed murder!
ergo. they are martyrs:
All are familiar with that Texas affair
which caused the trouble, and 1t Is not neces-
sary to reproduce the Incident here. 1t Is q
difficult thing for the Anglo.Sa 1on to keep
his moral equilibrium when he joins the reg
ular army. Accustomed as be IL TO restrain
his passions and bride his appetites. In
ni~nety-nine cases out OF hundred bis moral
march is retrogressive when he becomes a
soldier. So much idleness, 30 many tempta-
tons, cut loose from all restraint OF home and
family, companions OF the worst stripe soon
tarnish him unless he is pure gold.
The negro has not had the self-imposed evo-
luton Of the white man. He has had the OPP
portunity but he has probably involuted in
stead OF evoluted. He Is thousands OF years
behind, possibly tens Of thousands, who
knows? When 1t comes.to a question Of self
Z restraint bet your money on q Maverick
Polsk in preference to colored troops In the
United States army.
OF this Texas affair the President made q
thorough investigation and, as is his custom,
he did something. He has changed their ra-
tons from western steak to fatbacks unsup-
piled. And now the "cullud brethren" OF the
cloth and the philanthropic razorbscks are
mad.
There is not q self-respecting colored man
In AbbevilIe county but will say that the
President did right In cutting off the feed OF
those -murder-concealiDg scoundrels OF the
Twenty-Fifty Infantry, and If there be one
who gainsays the President he ought to be
run ont of the country.
The three companies OF the Twenty-Fifth,
however, will not be reduced to fatbscks i'm
mediatelydor the "razorbacks'' have them in
charge and will see 10 1t. e..

New Court House.

!. When the Emperiors or,rplers Of ancient
cities and ~principalities wished to please
the people ard immortalize themselves
they built something.
The Pyramids, the A~cropolis, the Parthe'
non, the Pantheon, the Temple OF Diana, the
ALEXANDRA with memerous minor structures
besides aqueducts and military roads with.
out number, ere monuments to those OF
ancient and medieval times who imme.
diate!y caused their construction. They are
even more, they are contributions In history
aud science, TO the credit of.ihe people who
built them, that would have been forgotten
II they bad not been thus preserved. 1t Is
now known that the pyramies were not
built ofstone, but that they were built oil
cement, and the ctmposItion is so perfect
shat for thousands Of years people nave
thought II rock, and have wondered how the
ancients cut and fitted them into place 80
perfectly.
A people ia judged by the character Of the
public building, that grace the cities. The
tall oaks were good enough for the church or
forum OF the savase q or Druid, and they
are good enough for the savage Of today, but
the enlightened and civilized citizen must
nave som Ginning DetLeI.
Now with no purpose OF fattering. II may
be %truthfully said that there is lot in this, or
any other state, a more enlightened and re-
fined people, taken as q whole, than the peo-
pie OF this county, and they are not afflicted
with that parsimony that would cling TO the
homely sptiquated structure ola previous
age that Is ca lied a court house.
While the old building 10 Objectionable,
protruding as 1t does in all its u~gliness out
into the public square,, this 10 Dot the only or
most serious objection. There Is no arrange.
ment In the interior for protecting records
from nrs.
Abbeville suffered enough in the loss o,
valuable records in the fire Of 1875 TO guard
against q recurrence. The people are willing
and %abundantly able to have q new Court
House. What about Supervisor Nickles? He
hasn't the absolute authority OF the rulers OF
old, but he 10 undoubtedly the Mogul OF his
department. When the question OF paying
out the county's money comes up he has a
few pet phrases of protest that slip mechsni.
cally of the end Of his tongue.
\ In this instance, fortunately. he has reach
ed the point OF approving the project, and 1t
IL hoped that the legislators will get busy and
pass the order.
Here is the opportunity for the Supervisor
70 build his monument; and on the corner
stone, we will place his name and the names
OF our Legislators authorizing the building.
The people want IT.; they deserve It; they are

CUT OFF IN YOUTH.

Like the closing chapter of a book
came to an end the life of Erna Leno-
ra McGraw, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel McGraw, on Saturday evening
at 7:30 o'clock after being a patient
sufferer with tuberculosis for nearly
two years. Seventeen years of age and
the only daughter of fond and loving
parents. she had everything to live
for and tbs sad to think that one in
whom were combined so many excel
lent traits of character should be call
ed away in the morn of life. when the
dawn gave promise of such glorious
womanhood. Her place at home can
never be filled, the voice they loved TO
hear has been stilled, and sacred silence
hov9rs over the vacant chair. Erna
McGraw was possessed Of happy and
affectionate disposition In her school
life she was ever an example for her
companions, kind, noble, and true; she
made friends in countless number and
by the inevital decree of the Almighty
friend who will always be missed from
their gatherings, has been called away
But as she had Won laurels in this life
they viii be as nothing compared with
the JOY which awaits her in the hgppy
home beyond; that land Of everlasting
sunshine where all is peace and happi-
ness and sorrow IS never known. Her
exemplary life should serve as a model
for others, remembering that we must
all die and when the grim reaper, Death
which has all seasons for its own. visits
us, we may be prepared 20 leave this
world to enter into the joys Of the next.
The funeral win be held from st.
Mary's Catholic church on Tuesday
forenoon at ten o'clock and the remains
win be laid at rest in the family lot at
the Riverside cemetery. The deceased
was a member ofthe Soldality OF Mary.
