Water Still Contaminated.

The city fathers are doing their utmost
to remove the impurities from our water
supply but as yet they have not succeeded.
Returns from the State Chemist on last
Friday showed that the water was still
contaminated and unfit for drinking pur-
poses.
The citizens OF the city have needed the
warning of the Board Of Health and are
boiling all the water they use for drinking
purposes except such as are using wells
Great care should be taken in the matter
of reopening old wells. The wells should
be thoroughly Gle aned and if there is any
possibility of contamination from sewage
The water should be analysed before 1t is
used for drinking water.
New filters have been ordered by the
city and will be installed at once, and it
is hoped that the chemist will soon give
US a return that will show
that our supply is free from bugs. In the
mean time boil your water.
It is an i'll wind that blows nobody good,
Some are drinking only melted ice. Such
are secure. The water Of which the ice is
distilled water and of course is absolutely
pure. The ice factory is the gamer.

The Butler Family Reunion.

On Aug. the 18th. at Mr.. Henry Buffers
who lives three miles, east OF Hodges was
the place of the Butler families Inc rela-
tivcs reunion. This particular family has
about two hundred relatives in this and
adjoining counties. One hundred or more
were present on this occasion. Mr..
Buffers mother was present who is
eighty three years old and Mrs. Henry
Buffers mother who is seventy five years
sented at this reunion. In addition to the
Butler relatives Mr.. Butler invited afew OF
his heal neighbors, just sixty six.
The place was all ideal n for the re-
union. One of the few places where there
has been preserved q grove Of original
oaks. In this beautiful grove Mr.. Butler
had erected q table one hundred feet long
on which to place the many good things
there was to eat. In II corner OF the
yard under a beautiful oak the young
people had erected q platform to play
steal partners on. About eleven O'Clock
we were all ON hand, the old people in
buggies and carriages or seated on the
long, shady piazza. Mr.. Butler and his
many helpers at the barbecue hash pots
and the young people stealing partners
60 the sweet strains Of the violin. MIR.
Rampey said they were playing tWlstlt-
cation for he had played it fifty years ago
and it now required an effort to keep him
Off that platform now. At one o'clock
Mr.. Butler announced dinner and sure
enough it was two hundred pounds OF
barbecued hash and my! fried chicken,
potatoes, pies of all kinds, cakes iced and
trimmed as if to adorn a wedding table
and so many other good things too
numerous to mention. After an. hour
spent around the table Of good things and
drinking iced lemonade that Mr.. Butler
had prepared by the barrel, the old
people became better acquainted and the
young paired off, ONE back to the plat
form, some to a single buggy where every
one could not near what was being whis-
pered. Mr.. Mendoza Higgins the boss
farmer and corn raiser could not be pres
ent, he was too busy praying for The
salvation Of lost sinners. After spending
four or five hours in social intercourse we
we've again invited to the table where still
remained SO many good things to eat but
the universal regret was the meals were
coming too often. Thus ended one Of the
days long to be remembered by the
Butler family and the friends who We're
honored with an invitation. The universal
wish was that Mr.. Butler would repeat it
mex year..

A Forecast.

Basing our assumption upon the recent
political history Of the past in this county
We believe that Little Joe Brown was re,
elected as Governor Of Georgia yesterday,
In former years the best man and most
popular officers Abbeville County ever had
were defeated in races for reelection, and
as far as We can Low recall no defeated pol
itician was ever reelected after his first
defeat, no matter what may have been the
cause of his first defeat.
There being no special reasons for the
defeat of Joe Brown or the denomination
of Hoke Smith, We expect tn hear Of his
nomination yesterday.

AS a result of this conference, which was

Remember the Heroes!

The recent reunion held Mt ~Spartanburg
was q great occasion to the Veterans and
Red Shirts in attendance. The Orator OF
the occasion in the course of his remarks
voiced a sentiment tina t has for forty
years been voiced and will continue to be
heard until it is chrystalized into a reality
a tangible mark of respect for u heroes
of South Carolina.
The speaker mentioned the names OF
Hamton, Butler, and Gary. OF these Gen.
Wade Hampton has been remembered in
the erection of a bronze statue on the
grounds of IL state Capitol. Generals
Gary, and Butler lave no such mark t.
point the young Juliuses Of generations
to come to the Aeneases who have led
them from the horrors of Troy to the
pleasant shores of our present Latlum.
Many say that we pay too much homage
to the heroes and not enough to the pri-
vate soldier. Such people should bear in
mind that such men as Butler and Gary
stand for the private soldier. They are the
personification of the soldier of South Car
DINA and in honoring them we reach out
and beyound to that great army OF our
state than which no Drawer, no more self
sacrificing, no more terrible to its enemies
ever waged a battle. In these we see the
simple soldier without a stripe. In these
we see the humble citizen marching to
the defense Of. his country without ep-
aulette. In these we see that dauntless
courage and godlike bravery which they
have bequethed to us, the richest heritage
they could leave us as we gathered up the
broken threads of our country's fate and
began again to weave with a warp Of pow
crty and a wool of Philistine domination.
Oh that all these heroes could see the
cloth of gold that has resulted from the
loom their own hands set.!
No unholy ambition fired the souls of
these men. They were not soldiers "who
would wade through slaughter to a throne
and shut the gates of mercy on mankind
but they were men whose souls rose high
or than thesordid soul Of the Philistine,
men who knew no domination except the
easy yoke of the Right. Thus when the
final clash came the result was inevitable.
They represent the spirit Of the sixties
which crushed in a tyranical oppression
yet rose again to Olympian heights in A
&c.
Raise to their memories lasting memoir
ais. Not to Butler and Gary alone do you
do the honors but to v ry soldier who
wore the grey. Look through the statue
of Gen. Wade Hampton to the spirit Of Car
'olina's manhood. This soil grows men,
men! not ~weaklings. Build monuments to
their memories that coming generations
may see that you and I admire men!
And it may be that in another age when
nursed in the lap Of luxury our ~1escendan
is may forget to guard their Inheritance
handed down to them from these mobiles
OF the sixties, when the hand of another
Babytonish king may opress, that some
seer, some prophet may rise and enquire
the meaning Of these membranes we
are to erect and shall gather from the
%smoldering ashes Of the past a fire, to
burn the letters of a future tyrant.
