compromise measure there was more
acrfmony IN congress than in any
other era in its existence-that is.
when folks began TO call the house
bear garden. 1t was almost as bad in
the senate. 1t was during a debate on
the Kansas-Nebraska act in the senate
Senator Douglas of Illinois and Sen
ator Green of Missouri poor old Jim
Green who is never spoken of by those
who knew him but with pity for the
unfortunate drinking habit that occa.
stoned his downfalD had trouble.
Green in his speech said that Doug
las did not dare to controvert him. Ii
was debate in which Jefferson Davis
got mixed up, and there We're personal
tiles all around. There was some move
ment toward a duel at that time be
tween Douglas and Green. Notes had
passed, and everybody expected there
would be something going on at Bla
densburg. but friends interviewed and
prevented hostile meeting.
Then there comes to mind that ia
nous Pryor-Potter trouble, which
grew out OF a charge that Potter, who
was Wisconsin man, had interpolated
The quarrel that began over that re
suited in Mr.. Pryor, who represented
the Richmond Na) district, sending
Potter a challenge. Potter, while dis
claiming allegiance to the code, said he
would fight Pryor indoors or out in the
District with bowie knives. Pryor de
clined to fight in this way on the
ground that the weapons were barba
rous, inhuman and not used among
gentlemen. Then General Lander
who was Potter's friend. offered TO
fight Pryor in any way, but his offer
was declined on the ground that he
pryor had had no quarrel with Ian
der.
There were other duels expected ir
Washington in the dueling days that
never took place. but those cited here
are about the most important of the
enisodes -yr~-',ip~+on Pos.

Letter to Richard Sondley.
Abbeyille, s, G.,

~
Dear Sir: What will 1t cost to SOW
ten acres halt wheat and half daisy
mixed? and. what'll the crop be
worth?
We don't know what daisy-seed
costs, nor how bulky it is we suspect
half wheat and half daisy would make
q big crop of daisies, and last a long
time the wheat might be short.
The parable throws some light on
the cost of q paint half white wash.
Whitewash, mixed half-and-half
with paint, ia all-paint In look and
feel indeed ~nine-tenths Of the "paint''
in the stores Is part whitewash !; some
half, some more, some less.
Paint has to be spread with the
the surface prepared, the lad
ders scaffolds pulleys and ropes ar
ranged and moved, there's q great deal
of labor in putting paint on 1t costs
SO to Sd a gallon to do 1t.
What does it cost to paint white
washP Just the same. Half white
wash ? inst the same. 1t doesn't
seem worth while, for the whitewash
does harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the whitewash
fast9 or the whitewash loosen the
paint? =,
Better paint pure paint, the least
gallons paint, the least-money paint,
DevOe. Yours truly

A Good Woman Gone.

Mrs. George w. Mckee departed
this life September 4th, 1907, In the
50th year Of her age, and was buried
Thursday in the cemetery at Green
Vile church, of which she had long
been a consistent member. The fu-
neral services were conducted at the
church by her pastor, Rev. CARTRIDGE.
A large congregation of friends, and
kindred attended the funeral, and
mingled their tears with the bereaved
ones. She leaves a husband. one son,
three daughters, and four brothers to
mourn their loss, which is her eternal
gain. She was i'll for several months,
and all that loving hands could do was
done for her relief, but God had called
her, and the things of earth could not
bind her longer. The. ministrations of
her faithful husband, and e%ffedtionate
children during her long and tedious
illness were beautiful. They were
tireless in their efforts in trying to re-
lieve and comfort her. To the grief
stricken ones God says, "sorrow not as
those who have hope" and may they
by divine grace be made able to say,
"Thy will be DONE" 1.-THE Lord gave
and the Lord has taken away, blessed
be the name of the Lord"

Electricity for Mccormick.

The city Of Mccormick has awarded the
contract 10 Mr.. Paul B. Wilson, OF Abbeville,
to install an electric lighting and power plant
for that municipality. The contract calls for
$50 incandescent lights. or this number S are
for the streets of 100 candle power. The plant
is to be OF IS horse power, which will be in
connection with the Mccormick Lumber
Company.
Mr.. Wilson furnishes the generator and the
wires, aud will install the lights. The lum-
Der company furnishes steam power to oper-
ate the electric plant.
Mr.. Wilson has installed several plants for
private individuals in this county, namely:
Mr.. g.. Cade, whose generator is run by wa
ter power.
Messrs. Britt land Talbert, have electric
lights In their houses. and the K. OF P. hall
have the same, the power being by q gasoline
engine.
MIR. w. R. Ellis has both water and electric
ity in his house, the power being q gasoline
engine.
Where 1t is practicable, to have the power.
every man SHOULD have electric lights,
whether he lives In town or in the country.
II our good friends at Due West would do
themselves the greatest good at the least cost,
they might induce the city fathers to install
electric lights. Electricity Is the cheapest
light on earth, and we know OF no place Of It's
size where there is greater need for illumina-
ton for fine buildings than at Due West
Due West has some Of the finest structures in
the county. They spread real light to all the
world. and should have in their internal
parts, the most brilliant Of artificial lights.
Any little town hat wishes them, can have
electric lights. II Due West at commence
ment could light up their buildings and shed
the best lights on the most beautiful
women and the drettiest millinery that
ever carried captive the masculine heat, an
additional attraction would De given to the
Athens Of Abbeville. Beautiful women,
pretty millinery. and brilliant lights make q
scene that would e~lectrify the gods.
