TELLING 1T AGAIN.

As we came down past The Peo-
ple's Bank, Monday morning, we were
attracted by peals Of laughter issuing
from the inner circles of that mer-
cenary institution. We recognized
the voices of our old friends Col. W.
VI. Bradley and Col. R. S. Link, and
thinking they had discovered another
mine and had bought it for less than
it was wo:th, and were rejoicing
over it, we stopped to get a drink Of
water from the stock fuontain.
But We found that all thoughts
of mining, insurance, farming and
other present-day troubles had beer
dismissed for the time, and as ole
men will do when getting in then
dotage, these gentlemen were re-

newing scenes of childhood and
schooldays, and telling of the things
which happened in the dim and dis
tant past, and enjoying them again,
as children enjoy them when they
happen, and old men when they have
reached their second childhood. Old
man Renwick Bradley and old man
Frank Nickles were present to do the
listening and a portion of the laugh
ing.
We stopped to hear one or two Of
the stories, and to find out how long
it had been since the things narrated
had happened, hoping in this way to
gain some information as to the an
tiquity of the two gentlemen, who
are as careful as women to keep
such matters secret.
Old man Bradley told story on
himself when he was school boy at
Erskine. Prof. Hood soon after he
commenced to teach there had the
! Colonel as one of his apt scholars. I"
He sent him to the blackboard to
chart the different spasms of heat
encountered in descent into the
innermost parts of the earth. The
Colonel got all the degrees right ex-
'cept one and thought he had COM
pleted the job, when he was told
that there was still one more which
was not recorded. After thinking a
considerable while, and with some
doubts on the subject, the Colonel
finally wrote as the end Of all man.
ner and conditions Of heat the fol-
lowing: "Hell."
Old man Link told of his school
days in the country when he was
taught by Mrs. Kate Wideman, af-
terwards Mrs. Prof. ]. P. Kennedy,
of Due West. One of the other
"scholars" in that school was young
Willis Mars, who was great orator.
He spoke every Friday evening as the
custom was, and is, in the country,
and his grafton on every occasion
concerned a boy who stood on a
burnin' deck. The teacher at length
thought Willis should turn his great
oratorical guns on some other point
and suggested to him that on>the next
Friday ne would be expected to crate
on some other subject. Finally the
day came. The teacher was sitting
by the water bucket as Willis mount
ed the rostrum. When he COM
menced, "The boy stood" the
teacher dashed dipper-full of water
in his face, which shows that teachers
knew something about teaching in
those days.
After the laughter provided by
this joke had ceased, old man Nickles
commenced to clear up his throat
and we left.

DOGS AND BULL DOGS.

We feel sure that the City Council
desires to deal justly with the owners
of dogs in Abbeville. We believe
that some stringent regulation is
necessary in the matter of dogs run
ming at large, especially for the
prevention of the spread of hydro
phobia. But we believe that the
recent ordinance passed by the coun-
Gil is too extreme and too stringent.
By the terms of that ordinance the
owners of dogs are required to keep
them confined on their own premises.
This means that man may not own
dog in Abbeville, as it is impossible
to keep them so confined, especially
in the summer months.
The whole trouble from hydropho-
bia comes from the worthless class
of dogs which roam around the
streets without being fed and cared
for by the owners. All such dogs
should be gotten rid of. This can
be done by requiring every owner of
dog to buy a tag and keep his dog
tagged as an evidence that he is
being fed and cared for by the
owner. When dogs are properly fed
and cared for they have nothing to
be mad about, as we have before re-
marked.
And while we are on the dog SUBJ
ject, why not have an ordinance pro-
hibiting the keeping of bull dogs
within the city of Abbeville? They
are far more dangerous, in our judg-
ment, than as many mad dogs. We
hear people say they are harmless,
and they may be, but we saw one
of these harmless creatures attack a
child on the streets of neighboring
city, and only prompt assistance
saved it from a violent death. We
do not know the fine qualities of bull
dogs, if they have any; we believe
they have none.

KEEPING THEIR COURAGE UP.

The Manning politicians are busy
now giving out "Dibble's figures"
A farmer from Newberry has been
sent down to Columbia to give out
some Manning dope, and he informs
US through the columns of The Re-
cord that Cooper will get fifteen
thousand votes in the first race this
summer.
It is also stated that Governor
Manning has been up to Jones to a
picnic, and that the people in that
section Go not know what Cooper is
running for, and that he "will get
no votes in that section" Manning
has also carried cotton mill or two
in Laurens. and is about to carry
the Ware Shoals Mill. In fact, as
we stated last week, he will continue
to carry the State several times a
day, until election day, when it will
be found that he ran himself to death
before the race really began.
But all this talk is intended to fool
the people and to deceive them into
thinking that Cooper is not in the
race, and that the issue is between
Manning and Blease. The people
must not be deceived by such exag.
gerated statements. Cooper will
poll more than fifteen thousand votes
in Greenville, Oconee, Pickens, An.
derson, Abbeville, Greenwood and
Laurens counties. If any farmer in
Newberry wants to bet a birds nest
against years subscription to a
paper which will give him some light,
on whether we are right or not, the
opportunity is now his.
Manning will be short about thirty
five thousand votes of the estimate
of his followers, and probably more.
Cooper will lead in the first race for
Governor, and the seconSrace will
be between Cooper and Manning.
This is our prediction. Post it up
on the wall alongside the Manning
figures and see who is neaAer the re-
suit when it is pronounced by the
people who vote, and not by the poll
ticians who talk.

SHOULD HAVE HAD HIS CHOICE

The Columbia Record, in its Satur-
days issue, states that farmer from
Newberry was in Columbia the day
before, and that he informed the
representative of the Record of many
wonderful things about to take place
in Newberry county. He also pre-
dicted that Manning would get 49,
600 votes in the first primary this
summer, Blease 100000 and Cooper
$4,000. It was not stated whether
the farmer was sent to the Asylum
or back to Newberry county.
