As We understand, the advocates OF State
wide prohibition are not going TO urge at the
next session Of the Legislature the passage OF
a Statewide prohibition bill. But they Will
ask that an election be held by the people
next summer to let the people express their
Wishes in the matter.
In 1875 our battle cry was Hampton n
Home Rule. We still believe IN nome rule.
Ifany county wsnts to vote liquor out, why
let 1t do 80. To put 1t ont by law against puD-
lie sentiment would be to defeat "Home
Rule" If prohibition ia desired or Is en-
dorsed by public sentiment. then the law is
beneficial. The first thing to do Is to create q
sentiment in favor Of sobriety and against
the tipping habit. The love for liquor has
given to the human family trouble ever since
the earliest history.

Decrease in Liquor Sales.

reduction In sales Of forty million gallons o.
whiskey. While we believe very little that
zealots for or against prohibition may say,
yet we believe FULLY in the statement OF the
internal revenue commissions He has no
reason to magnify or to minimize the faott.

Cannon for AbbeYille.

Dr.. w. A. Hunter was In town yesterday.
He has Just returned from the arsenal In
Augusta where he saw Q number Of discarded
little brass cannon that he thinks Congress
man Aiken could get by asking for them.
They would therefore, cost Abbeville nothing
except the freight. The Doctor said he would
on condition, be glad to 90 after them. He
th links these little cannon should be placed In
about our new Court house as q
guard for the cradle and the grave Of the Con-
Iederacy. Let Congressman Aiken take this
matter up with himself. The cannon are
beautiful specimens OF shooting brass, and
they would serve as q nice ornament to the
Court house, while frowning at evil doors.

We give these facts as preliminary to an ar
ticle which shall appear later to show mat
the former days were not better than these.
We shall prove that ]. L. Mcmillan and'G. N.
Nickles are greater benefactors, and led a
greater and q better people than were John e.
Calhoun and George MoDufie and their peo-
pie OF that day. The neighborhood
In which they lived Was in their life
time regarded as the garden spot OF all the
upper tier OF counties. Poor men we're sent
away 10 giveroom for slaves. When emanci-
patton came that portion OF the county fell
behind other sections In white population.
Calhoun and McDufie and their follower
before the wa built no railroads.. It remain
'ed for poor folks to build the Savannah val
ley railroad. The lands In that section are
low In price, though their real value Is great,
and thousands OF acres are without tenants.
In McDufie's and Cdlhoun's day. we had few
churches and school houses. and what few
we had were cheap and inferior.
When the power Of the old ideas had passed
away and when the younger generation
learned that they were free and realized hat
they were a power the town ofAbbeville took
on a new growth. In fifteen years last past
the town has grown more than 1t grew In q
hundred years before.
It was In 1892 we believe that the graded
school was built.
The cotton mill sprung into existence since
then.
The telephone is a late thing for Abbeville
The water works were put In about ten

The electric lights came along about the
time that tho water works were established.
The oil mill and ginnery and Longs GIN

The National Bank was-ihen the only bank

The sewerage system is new for ua.
The Ice plant and laundry was built less

The Farmers warehouse was built less than

Mr.. g. N. Nioklea was elected Supervisor
November, 1900, was reelected for four CON.
secutive terms. succeeding the late Capt.
John Lyon who had served the County three
terms (six years.)
When Mr.. Nickles took charge OF the ONCE
10th day OF December, 1900, the County was In
debt to the amount OF $4,000. The first year
OF his administration, beginning January LIST,
1901. no small Mount Of work was required
Of him owing to the fact thai excessive rains
and freezing weather made the roads almost
In an impossible condition.
In addition TO this on the 18th of June OF
the Same year. the heavy freshet carried
away q large proportion of the bridges IN
every section OF the oc unty. These bridges
we're rebuilt mostly under the personal su-
pervision Of the County Supervisor. This
means work almost day and night for the
County Supervisor. At this time he was not
allowed q Clerk to DO the ofice work. Said
office work was done principally in the night
time having had to spond . large portion Of
the time during the day in looking after the
construction Of bridges and repairing roads.
But very few claims for repairing roads and
bridges were allowed by the County Board OF
Commissioner until after the County Super.
visor had personally inspected and recon-.
mended the payment.
One years experience along this line dem
onstrated clearly to the Supervisor that 1t
was actually necessary for the Supervisor
and County Board OF Commissioner to in.
vestigate all claims brought against the
ounty.
MUCH ONE SAVED.
Many hundreds of dollars we've saved to
the County by reason of q little extra work
on the part OF the County Supervisor In in
v~estigating work before approving claims.
The County Supervisor after one years e1-
with mud holes and rotten bridges
determined that permanent work on high
ways and bridges was most advantageous to
the public.
An average Of 1000 worth Of terra Gotta
was placed each year in the public
roads wherever needed. thus saving many
thousands Of dollars for the many small
bridges which 1t would cost now to replace
a before. For instance. on the road leading
from Abbeville by way OF Due West and
Donalds to Maddox's MIL on ssluda River. q
distance of twenty tour miles, there II but
one small waterway that 10 covered with
wood. The same can be said OF many other
roads In every section Of the County.

over the streams In the County many changes
have been made. By actual measurement In
building stone piers and abutments or ap-
length Of bridges in the County has exceeded
1000 feet.
STEEL
Ten years ago there was but one steel bridge
In the County. Now 70 have eight and three
others In process Of erection. Six more
bridges have been bought and are TO be de-
livered and erected by the 18th OF January,
1903.
This extraordinary amount OF bridge work
was caused by the freshet on the 25th OF
August last. which carried away ID out OF 10
bridges on Little River, 8 out Of 10 on Long
Cane, { out Of 6 on Rocky River. Besides
these, various other bridges on smaller
streams were either washed away or damag.
ed. All Of these bridges under existing con-
ditions, can be replaced without increasing
the levy for County purposes. The present
Supervisor has on hand sufficient funds to
meet all existing contracts. The Dendys and
Cannon's bridges are among the best work OF
Mr.. Nickles. The crossings at these bridges
have been q source OF great vexatlon and
annoyance to the public. They were also q
source Of constant expense to the County.
The crossing places have been 30 changed
and the permanency Of the construction OF
the bridges is such that the youngest child
In Abbeville County may never see these
crossings out OF business.
Gordon's lane toward Due West and Reds
lane on the Martins Mill road and many
miles Of other OF the worst roads In the Coun-
ty have been graveled. Many OF the roads
that were once the worst are now the best.
and are maintained at least cost.
THE COUNTY ARM
The paupers in 1901 numbered 2. At pres
ent there are Is. Eight years ago they we're
q uartered In old frame buildings. our years
ago the legislative delegation was requested
by the Supervisor to make an appropriation
OF tia of mill for the purpose Of erecting q
brick Dormitory. This request was granted
and the appropriation made. The brick
building has been erected. and other con-
veniences added. which gives Abbeville
County one Of the most up-to-date buildings
the kind In the State. In addition to this
we will say that the County Farm contains
200 acres located just two miles from the city. |
