LOCKING UP THE LIGHTS.

There were many mad women in
Abbeville this week. For the past
two years the city council has been
establishing free porch lights, giving
the lights on the ground that it help
ed to light up the city and improved
its looks.
There are some pretty sharp peopfe
in town for it has been found that
many have been using the free cur
rent for ironing, electric fans and
just any old thing that electricity is
useful for.
All this week Superintendent An
derson has had a squad of workmen
out locking" the lights, making such
use impossible. Everybody, who has
used the lights, is mad because they
have been caught up with, and those
not using them are mad because they
are under suspicion.

SOUTHERN MAKES PROGRESS.

You can go to the Southern Depot
now without holding your hat. There
is no danger of Capt. McPherson's
knocking it off your head or OF
knocking your head off by blowing
his whistle. nor will you have that
hollow-fceling which a country boy
always feels as he nears town. The
reason is that the Captain has pur-
chased a new whistle. Col. Aiken
tells Is that it is a Caliope, and we
suppose it must be. When it came
in the other night we thought they
had moved the new electric piano
from the "Palm Garden" to the Place
of Worship recently erected in Fort
Pickens, but we were mistaken, 1t
was the Caliope.
Conductor Syfan is pleased with
the change. 1t is not necessary noE
to get up steam to blow the morning
whistle, and then get up steam again
to run out to Hodges; nor is it any
longer necessary to stop the train
after blowing road-crossings, and
blowing the people off the crossings,
in order to allow the steam pressure
to recuperate, but the burned old
thing, like the little Ford, rambles
right along until it gets to Hodges,
where it CaliGpes and comes right
back to Abbeville. The Southern is
making progress; we are sorry that
we did not know it in time to mention
the fact in our Fair Edition.

An American cotton expert who
has just reached home from Germany
passing through Washington, says
that wood pulp is being used in Ger
man explosives in place of cotton,
of which practically none is now
reaching the Teuton countries. Even
when mixed with cotton fibre, this in
formant said, the substitute is by no
means equal to cotton for war pur-
poses; nevertheless, it is being en-
ployed very effectively as the next
best thing American cotton men in
Germany are not doing any business
and have given up the idea of doing
any until peace is restored.
The proportion of cotton used in
the manufacture of smokeless powder
is known on, the highest authority to
be SO per. cent. In view of the fact
that more than two-thirds of the
makeup of smokeless powder is cot
ton, it is somewhat surprising that
the requirements of the United States
navy for gun cotton purposes are on
ly about 1000 bales year, as stated
in a recent letter from Secretary
Daniels to an inquirer interested in
the cotton business. "Next year."
said the Secretary in this letter, 1--WE
hope to increase the amount of pow
der manufactured, but at most the
new demand will not exceed $500
bales" 1t takes about three bales
for every discharge of 13-inch naval
gun.
