The Great Fear.

The first mark of civilization is the ten
dency in man to provide for his household,
to increase his estate, to lay aside for a
rainy day,
This sentiment does not enter into the
psychology of the savage. He does not
care for riches. If he has gold it is be-
cause he likes to look at it, not for its
intrinsic value.
The more civilized q man becomes the
more evident is the propensity to stint
and save and build up an estate. Without
such a propensity, civilized people would
be worth little more than savage people
in wealth.
But the cost to civilization is great.
Work does not harm any one. 1t is a
medicine, a panacea for many ills. but
worry kills, and yet we must worry.
Civilization demands of the young man
that he build him up an estate--make
money--else he is a failure. To meet these
demands to-day millions Of men are
striving. They are standing by their
work with every muscle tense to the
breaking point, with glazing eyes fixed on
the goal-fortune. They do not see their
fellows in the fight. Only their W for,
tunes interest them. They have no time
to relax, to look around, to take a deep
breath, to enjoy life. The fortune must be
made.
And over thousands of troubled hearts
comes the horrid fear Of failure. In their
associations with one another they men
ton not this fearful haunt that dogs each
day Of their existence, and yet nine out Of
ten see this spectre and know him as ar
acquaintance. Men talk with one another
they exchange condolences, they joke, but
not once does one ask the other whether
or not he sees the haunt.
To drop beneath his station, to fall short
of accomplishing what his friends, his
brothers, his kinsmen accomplish, looks
to the average man like failure. Gould
the minds OF men be opened prominent
in their machinery would be found this
ruling passion to get money and around
it and about it the ever present fear o.
failure.
One reason the words honesty" AMI
dishonesty" are so prominent in civilized
tongues is due to the haunt" Men In
their mad reach for riches are prone tc
fall into questionable practices, forgetting
every thing but that they must become
wealthy. They would get rid Of the
haunt.
But we should remember that even
when q man has gained his goal this
haunting fear Of failure and penury does
not leave him. The phantom still remains
in the fear of losing what he has made.
There are to-day people in u Poor
Houses who are better satisfied with theil
existence than are some OF our richest
men. The phantom doen't worry them
else they would not be where they are.
But we have called this fear a phantom,
when it is not a phantom. It is as real as
life. It stalks by our side, it walks witt
you to your work, it follows you home al
night. 1t even visits you in your dreams
and it is real. 1t shows you the gray
hairs in your head and then shows you
the thiness Of your poor pocket book. II
calls attention to your stiffening joints
and points out the lowering cloud OF
looming rainy day. 1t points you to your
fat neighbor and tells you hustle" A
relentless, ever present, narrowing goad

Thanksgiving Notice.

At a meeting Of the Abbeville pastors, il
was decided to hold the usual ThanksglV
ing service in the Baptist church at clever
o'clock, November Oath.
Rev. MI. Pratt, pastor of the Presbyte
rian Church, was selected by the brethren
to preach the sermon. ,.,,.
An offering will be taken and divided
equally among the churches for such use
as the officers Of the churches think best
This was the plan followed last year, and
il worked well. 1t does away with the he
cessity of providing envelopes represent
ing the various churches.
It will be recalled that this service was
held in the A. r. P. church last year; the
sermon was preached by Rev. Henry
Stokes of the Methodist Church. AS this
service is one that each congregation has
an equal interest in, it Is proper that it be
held in a different church each year.
Reflect on the blessings of the past year
and surely you will find much to prompt
you to spend one hour Thanksgiving Day
in the worship Of Him from whom al
blessings flow.

Bridge.

This is about the "bridgiest" town this
side of Venice. Bridge is a new disease
It affects women mostly, mon being rarely
subject to the trouble.
The disease is not difficult Of diagnosis
Like malarial fever it Is intermittent
sometimes the spasms come once a week,
but frequently twice a week and in acute
cases they come on daily. Most Of the
linvalids afflicted with the disease here
have it in the acute form.
The symptoms are marked by extreme
nervousness. In the mornings it would
be difficult 70 tell that any thing is wrong
with the patient, but toward the afternoon
the poor afflicted one will dart out from
amidst her household gods, hide herself
under the biggest hat in the house and
l~scuttle away from home like a hermit
crab on a hunt for fiddlers.
The disease is especially severe in that
it attacks so many housewives. In such
cases the children of the household find
it encumbent on them to take care OF
themselves as best they can, for when the
spasm comes on the mind Of the poor pa
tent is q blank so far as the home is con-
cerned. This absolute forgetfulness OF
the home lasts sometimes for hours, and
in most every case until the spasm is over.
Patients have been known to leave in
lfants at home to get along as best they
lcould, until the mental alteration had
been dissipated.
.lne striking characteristic Of the disease
lis that those afflicted with it gravitate to
each other. While the spaSm lasts they
are insensible to the proximity of any per-
son not afflicted. Not even the husband
Of q wife who is in this state sufflces to
distract her mind from the clutches OF
Bridge.
Diagnosticians have traced the cause
Of this disease to a lack of wholesome
work. The trouble is peculiar to con-
Tested districts, the rural districts being
practically free from its clutches. These
women who are thoroughly conversant
with the kitchen and active in the nursery
seem to be entirely immune. The more
serious and the hopeless cases come from
among those women who rise late and
who are delicate about house work. The
treatment is evident from the diagnosis.
Much sincere sympathy is felt for the
afflicted families and while the disease is
generally conceded to be very difficult of
cure a movement is being proposed to
alleviate the burden distressed families
by the introduction of volunteer nurses.
The State Board Of health not having
mentioned the disease at its last meeting
leads US to believe that it is more preva-
lent in this vicinity than elsewhere; for if it
were making inroads in other parts of the
state as it is here it would surely have de-
manded attention.
