Comfortable Prisoners.

The prisoners in our Jail had q merry old
time of 1t during the recent cold spell, and we
are glad to report that nobody was frozen to
DEATH, Each Of them were furnished with
three genuine cotton blankets, costing 81
cents o pair. When Sheriff Lyon called Su.
p~ervisor Stevenson's attention TO the situa-
tion, the Supervisor Immediately ordered a
lot of blankets TO be sent to the Jail, and he
afterward had a plumber to make estimates
as to the cost of putting in waterworks and
sewerage.
1t Is with pleasure that we record the Sher.
if's an xiety to make the prisoners comfort
able, and 1t is TO the credit of Abbeville
County tn at they have elected a humane and
merciful Supervisor who will see that the
County is not disgraced by brutal cruelty TO
helpless inmates Of the jail. Let the cost be
what 1t may, let the jail be not q place that
would disgrace a heather land. Public build
ings reflect the pride and respectabllity of
any people, while cruel and barbarous treat
ment of prisoners is q disgrace te the lowest
type Of q people.
Sheriff Lyon and Supervisor Stevenson are
determined that our miserable old jail shall
not disgrace our elegant Court house, and
they do not intend to have a prison house
less humane han is our city calaboose, which
Is steam heated, has waterworks and wer-
age in every cell. Electric lights shine for all
in the corridor.

Strong ds-0utdoor Work Suspended
Frozen Water Pines.

Last Friday the temperature was warm ant
those who were ont o orange OF the wind were
comfortable as to temperature. The wind
however, was strong and sent hats flying
Many tried to hold their headgear, which
sometimes went rolling down the street
Toward night the temperature indicated q
much lower degree. Workmen we're called
of buildings and outdoor work generally
was suspended. The wind blew q gale all
through the night and on Saturday the tenn
perature was much lower than on the pre-.
vlous day. At night the, wind gained In
velocity, and the temperature was far below
the freezing point. At one time 1t was not
very far from zero.
More coal was burnt on Sunday than had
been burned for many days before.
We had had such pleasant weather that
many people forgot all about the danger
of freezing pipes. On Monday morning they
were reminded OF the situation. 1t was q
real good day for the plumbers, being the first
good day that they have had this winter.
The weather by Monday had greatly modi-
fed the intensity Of the cold, and the sun was
as pleasant that day as one could wish.
Hot house plants that we're not cared for
are now ~lifeless.
The cotton plants that showed signs OF life
are dead.

AbbeViIIe Shot up by -Trusty.

Since Abbeville has been putting on airs in
the matter OF public buildings her officers
have taken suggestion from the State House
in Columbia, in the matter Of keeping the
new tile floors cleaned by convict labor. A
colored convict from the County gang named
Jim Lindsay was made a trusty and to him
was assigned this post Of honor.
Saturday night Jim put aside bis
uniform and went calling down on one OF
the popular alleys. 1t seems that a dispute
arose between the man Of stripes and his lady
love, whereupon he pulled a pistol and fired
at her three times, The city authorities took
him in hand promptly, and 1t is said that
Supervisor Stevenson has allowed him to re-
enlist in the gam without examination or
presidential h%indrances.

The dispensary officials have just placed 50.
700 into the hands OF the superintendent oil
education. The question now is:
l. VIII all school teachers accept the
money in payment or their salaries?
2. II not. hould the schools be closed?
3. II the schools should no: be closed, will
the people tax themselves TO keep the school,
open for the full term?
A large mount OF dispensary money has
been placed in the hands OF the County
Supervisor with which he may build bridges,
work the roads or pay outstanding debts
Will he be allowed to keep that money IN
his pocket or should he be required to spend
1t on the highways?

Suddenly the revolver was dis

LINCOLN AND HIS SOLDIERS.

Lincoln's life was filled with strik.
ing contrasts. For this careless cap,
tain Of company Of unruly rustics In
the Black Hawk War to become the
Commander.in.chief OF a million sol
diers, a mightier force of warriors
than any conquering monarch of mod
ern times ever assembled. was perhaps
the strangest fortune that befell him
In four years he called to his command
two and half millions OF men. prob
ably a greater number than followed
the eagles OF Napoleon In all his TWEEN
ity years of campaigning from Arcola
| to Waterloo.
Yet this unparelled martial power
never touched the ambition OF Lincoln
He cared nothing for the pomp OF
arms. the pride OF rank, or the glory
Of war. This man who could say Il
ten hundred thousand armed troops
go, and they would go, come, and they
would come, held himself to be NJ
more than the equal Of the leas
among them. While he stood TOWARD
all as a comrade rather than com
mander they looked up to him in per
feet trust, and delighted to hail hin
as Father Abraham.
1t was enough for him to touch hi'
hat to general, but he liked to bar'
his head to the boys In the ranks IL,
himself created generals by the hun
dreds, but in his eyes the private sol
der was the handiwork OF the Al
mighty. The reported capture OF al
officer and twelve army mules In
raid near Washington only moved hin
to remark, How unfortunate. | cal
Ill that brigadier's place In five min
utes, but those mules cost us two hun
dred dollars apiece" He never to tn
end solved the mystery of the uni
forms. and could not tell genera
from colonel by his epaulettes.

New Frames

And scarce had Lincoln's signal word
Rung out, ere hosts--untried before
From forge and farm and cottage
door,
From riverside and peaceful plain,
From valley low and mountain chain,
From scattered haunts and cities
Uprose in national defense.
So war It's desolation waged
As battles grim with horror ragged;
While all the land for four long years
Was bathed in blood and drowned In
tears.
One master mind held full command
Ger surging seas and darkened land;
And, welding more than kingly pow
er,
Fought raging foes from Freedoms
tower.
The Nations fate all trembling hung
Upon word from Lincoln's tongue,
When needless act or futile frown
Might let the mighty fabric down.
But hero. chieftain, father, friend.
Ger all the land from end to end.
He wrought as toiling humblest slave
His country, tried by fire, to save.
When stainless triumph crowned his
| work,
Mid scenes where hell-born dangers
Turk,
He fell sustaining Freedoms laws
A martyr to his countrys cause.
As angels tears from heaven fell
Upon that form they loved so well,
His soul unfettered took its flight
To join them there IN glory bright.
And as his spirit rose on high
To deathless realms beyond the sky,
The Nation woke7-transhgured, free
Redeemed in loyal unity!
His perfect work at last was done.
The prize for which he strove was
won; H.t
And Union over all our land
Was firmly bound by Lincoln's hand
Then let our flags be all unfurled
And waved in pride around the world
To mark the day, from early morn
When Lincoln, GodlIko man, was
born! 'n

COL. SCHUYLER'S ADDRESS
MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION
Captain Rees Reads Original Poem
Addresses By Citizens and
Military Men-Martyr's
Memory

II Abraham Lincoln in the troub-
lous times of the Civil War, which
tried his soul as the souls of few
men have been tried, could have look
ed forward a little less than half
century, and have realized the love
that his memory would awaken In
the hearts of the inhabitants of n
group of islands far out in the Pa
Gific that then formed no part OF the
country which he was trying so hard
to hold one and undivided--if with
the eyes of n prophet he could have
looked upon the assemblage that
gathered in the Honolulu Opera
House last night and have heard the
sincere words of praise and respect
for the greatest American that ever
lived-it would no doubt have been
1 sufficient recompense for the pain
aud suffering that he was called up
on the endure. He was but partially
understood when he was alive, but
the addresses of last night showed
fully that his ideals of more than fif-
ty years ago have become the ideals
Of the American people of today.
The program opened with n selec-
ton by the Fifth Cavalry Band.
Chairman Jack Atkinson formally OPP
ened the meeting with snort address
IN which he pointed out the lessons
OF democracy taught by the life of
Lincoln. the influence of whose kind
ness and goodwill he declared to be
one of the most priceless heritages
Or the American people.
Col. Schuyler of the Fifth Cavalry
made an address in which he declar-
ed that the soldiery of the United
States are not in Hawaii as the mes
scngers of war but of peace. I'VE
ccme to you with the sword, but II is
In the scabbard," he said, land II we
bring you any message, IL is one of
peace and goodwill, and the wish
for your continued prosperity. We
have come to you with a kindly curl
osity and genuine interest in you
and your pursuits. We are prepared
to comprehend and sympathize with
you in all your prescriptions"
Following the address of Colonel
Schuyler, Mrs. Bruce McV. Nackall,
accompanied by the Fifth Cavalry
Band, sang THE Star Spangled Ban

This was followed by u tribute in

anything of such excellence to come
