THINGS TO THINK OF
oividends From Encourarem.n

Are you a miser with your words
of approval?
Do you think of saying a pleasant
thing or two when some one in your
company does good piece of work
and then reconsider your impulse, and
keep silent?
Don't do it.
lDdiscriminate praise is senseless.
and no business man of intelligence
INDUCES in It; but there are excel
lent dividends to be gathered from
the word of approval dropped at the
right time and on the right spot.
Increased ability comes from ex-
perience, and the man who is given
a word of encouragement now and then
is going to get experience, by 60
ing out of his way in your behalf. He
will strive harder to make your BUSH
ness a success-and every time he
does that he increases his efficiency.
Make your words OF approval reap
dividends for you.
They can do 1t; they will do it;
and when you bring a smile of happi-
ness to the face of the employee you
have said something pleasant to,
you are planting a seed that will grow
into a tree Of efficiency, bearing
fruit for YOU.

During all this time he has lived in Able

AS an editor he has always had the courage
of his convictions. His convictlons baN Q not

Gratifying Success"

The Edg e1eld News, whose editor is Mr..
W.'P. Calhoun, who is 80 we'll and 30 favora-
bly, known to all OF our people, makes this
pleasant notice of Mr.. Wilson's fiftieth ami.
versary In the Press and Bapner office:
April the first closed the fftieth year Of the
connection Of Mr.. Hugh Wilson az editor OF
The Abbeville Press and Banner. He has
been, however, previous 10 1853 connected
with the papers OF that place, be dates his
newspaper career from April Isl, 1859.
Among our earliest recollections are The
Press and Banner, Mr.. Hugh Wilson and the
late lamented W. A. Lee. In 1859 we were a
boy eight years OF age. During all these
years we have been a reader Of that paper
we have been able TO see it grow and prosper
under the management OF Mr.. Wilson and Its
success must surely be very gratifying 10
him. HIS: "reminiscences recall familiar
things and familiar names that carry US back
many years, while al IN" same time they
bring to; the front sad memories OF the great
num ber, OF men and women who have passed
AWAY. The old home beyond the old "Blue
Htll,' the school days In the academy on The
same hill, the happy days and the sad days
all pass In review before our eyes, and they
seem Ike a dream. While Mr.. Wilson is still
editor OF tho paper, 1t has changed hands and
Ia now owned by Messrs. w. w. and w. r.
Bradley. young men OF fine character and
fine brains who are making a success of thier
purchase,
We wish them all success and happiness.
We congratulate Mr.. Wilson on bis long years
Of editing one OF the best county papers In the
State.

Beautiful Cement Work.

ance. and the thoroughness OF The Work Will
make II a thing of beauty forever. The oeslsn
OF the work fGr making the public square ano

execution of the work shows the emclency
and the skill OF the workmen.

much good work on the public square and Inc
public park which will be a perpetual re-
minder to the people Of bis usefulness anu

In the park two beautiful cast iron arms or
vases for flowers have been put up. Orna-
mental shrubbery has been set IN appropriate
nlaees. and q dozen cast iron white RADIUS
keep an eye on every suspicious looking
canine that may preambulate the streets al
night. The Confederate monument--one OF
the handsomest In The State-overlooks the
whole and keeps silent watch during the sun
light, and throughout the night Its presence
may be seen, reminding us Of the glory ana
the honor OF all those soldiers who fought fr
southern Rights, and who laid down their
lives for their country.
The imposing structure In which Court ID
held, and in which the public officers nave
I heir offices is a testimonial to the llberality
and the public spirit of the citizens OF the
county, while the opera house attests Inc
skill and the liberaliiy Of the people OF the
city.

Easter Services-Easter Missions.

Last Sunday was Easter. The delightful
temperature Of the atmosphere; combined
with the pleasant sunshine, made II a lovely
day, which afforded the best possible oppoI-
tunity for Church going.
At both the morning and the evening sell
vices there was guile a good attendance Of
devout worshippers.
The display OF East.r hats was exceptional
ly good. The worshippers in their hearts
gave heed 10 what the preachers read and
said. while the beauty and the splendor OF the
Easter hats attracted the feminine eye.
The preachers in their readings and In their
lessons, would appeal to the hearts of the peo-
pie, to live higher and boiler lives, while the
innate beauty and the architectural skill Of
the make up Of the Easter hats attracted the
vision OF all feminine eyes. Even hypocrites
had TO look askance at the ornamental head
gear that excites the envy Of women and
makes mere man fee. like falling down to
worship the fair goddesses.
Abbeville ia a city OF fine churches, and the
home ofseveral hundred devout worshippers
OF the Lord our God. They support every
good cause with q notable liberality. Even
II their " children should be compelled to
kO DhlClOOly LhOy VIA 6ANO w "lo5lOho.
There are many good people who really be-
lieve that it IL their .dnty to divide their
scanty means With the little h%eathens, even
II 10 80 doing should result in the denial OF
good things TO their own little children. Du-
ring the war, some one was credited with
saying that he was willing TO sacrifice all bis
brothers in-law rather than have the war to
fail. Such patriotism Is to be as much ad-
mired as the act OF denying our own children
books, shoes. candy or other things that dol
lars may be spent to- take a nlckels worth OF
religion TO the Catholics or to the heathen In
a far away country.
The A. R. 2. Church was closed on Sunday,
the pastor having gone 10 attend the meet
Ing ofthe Second Presbytery, which assem-
bled at Woodruff last Thursday.
1t seems that 1t would be we'll for pastors to
advertise their Sunday service, indicating
the subject 10 be discussed. Other public
speakers let the people know in advance the
subject TO be discussed. Notices of Sunday
service would be published free Of cost.

Small Pox.

The people OF York Vile and Rock Hill are
more or less excited or perturbed because of
the presence Of small pox. Some cases have
already ended fatally, while there are many
cases OF badly scared.
When we had small pox in Abbeville tseve-
raj years ago only a few unvaccinated per-
sons had the disease, in all of which cases The
disease got the worst OF the undertaking. We
we're not scared.
1t was proposed, we believe, to vsccinate a
few individuals and a proper person was APP
pointed to do the vaccination, whether the
patient was willing or unwilling. About the
first OF the proceeding a woman met the vac
cInator with a good right arm and a hand In
which she fourisned a good sized rolling pin.
She stopped the vaccination proceedings In
that household right there and then. The
vacelnator thinking that prudence was The
better part oil valor and that 1t was better t.
allow the disease to have Its way and to let
such people die OF small pox than 1t was TO
have bis own head broken, desisted from
further effort to save the beauty OF female
children or the prospective good Looks OF the
children OF the male persuasion.
Considering the harmless form OF the dis
ease which we had IN Abbeville 1t seems
strange that the disease shonld scare any
body into conniption fits.

To Register Lies.

One of the latest electrical devices IS de-
signed to register emotions, aud incidentally
to tell when q man is lying. The Idea Is that
the instrument Is placed in contact with the
pulsation Of the heart, say Of a witness on the
stand, and when the witness tells an unusu'
ally big lie, the emotion or fear OF detection
exciting the pulsations registers In large dis
turbed lines on the instrument. If this Is
not a correct statement Of the working OF the
instru ment, some one else may give a better
one.
It Is said tina: the instrument is not yet per-
feet. We hope 1t may never be. and further
more II 1t should be, that no agency be estab
lished in this W
II is not that we lie without occasion and
out OF malice, but we would not be deprived
OF the constitutional privilege. IL would be
manifestly unfair to expose the conscience TO
public gaze, We are like the old lady who
visited a sleight of hand performance and In
sisted on leaving because as she said: "her
calico wasn't no protection agin that mans
eyes,"

more forcible than q statement coming from
any other source, we submit the following,
which comes from one high up in the ranks
OF orthodox prohlbltionists. We copy from
the Edgefeld Chronicles:

and prohibitionist Of East Orange, New Jer-
sey, latter investigating conditions in the
South, is salt to be somewhat SIX optical as to
prohibition. He found that in Lynchburg,
Virginia, a city of 10000 Inhabitants, there
had not been q single arrest for drunkenness

liquor In excess than at any time In the past
