In the the day of Shakespeare as well B as now, "the loan oft loses both itself aud friend." There is probably no small matter tt that causes so much annovauce and actual money loss as the habit of bor- |r rowing pretty household supplies, et | which the borrower often judges are d too small to be returned. It is a few ti spoonfuls of tea at one time, a Qlittle butter at auother and the sum total iu U1 a short period may be altogether too / great .for the lender to give away. There is but one way to treat *uch borrowers who never pay, and that is to.borrow the same article until the ce proper equivalent has been made. This is considerable trouble, but it is the ouly way to render justice to one's b< self. It is also delicate hiut which the most obdurate borrower is likely to profit by. It may lose the friend but fr save the loau. There are a great many people who, like the foolish virgins of the parable, ri systematically fail to provide for imergencies and expect to depend upon gencies and expect to depend ^pon fc their more provident neighbors. Af- u ter nineteen hundred years they are as typical a glass to-day as they were pi in old Judea, tbe woman' without ai "faculty," who do not hesitate to ru make their silliues^ an excuse for their dependence, and appear to be utterly ^ oblivious of the inconvenience they e may occasion. Judicious hausekeep- ni ers make it a rule never to borrow rl unless they are forced to do so by lend- e ers that fail to remember their debts, if jfo servant should be allowed to borrow. Tbe most careless servant will e> soon learn to keep a list, aud whatever r is ueeded can then be ordered at the T proper time. No independent woman with any diginity of character indulges in any Ic such perncicious habit as borrowng.i u me Borrowing oi nousenoiu uieusils, like preserving pots and baking B tins and similar articles causes a great p deal of annoyance to lenders, who may if lack the moral courage to say no when they would like to do so. The brass u ^ preserving pot of old-fasbioned times was an expensive article which only a £j few families in a village could afford w to own and a large number of the house-holds formerly depended upon v the kindness of their wealthier neigh- c bors for the means of preparing their winter's supplies of preserving fruit. l< In return they often gave assistance to lenders in preserving time. A large procelain-lined pot suitable for preufervincr m»v now he nnrnhased for SI. and no family need depend upon neighbor#. Yet to-day the borrowing of o preserving paus is most as common as in those olden dayB, and no equivalent : is ever given, because the preserving pot is no longer costly, though the in- " convenience of lending it may be as tj great as before, aud the injury done to ii it is likely to be more lasting. The old brass bot wasj literally indestructible but the uew pots areeasily injured. L The lender of household article*:., must submit to much pretty annoyMW i and to much lost, if she doeft- not submit with smile3 to all.ttfMioiW " made upon her she is likelj to be£^K>n- i demned as unobliging alio mem. It » requires more firmnesrtban tbe *ver- £ age woman possesses Co refuse. . -1 - i And the hearts needs to' kuow God a as the All-beautiful and All-good, the ^ Source ofwhatever is tender and lovable in this world. Otherwise our most beautiful ideas are onI> bubbles on the stream of accident. Unless D God is in all, earthly love'is insub- 1 Btantial. + c To cultivate hopefulness is a duty, quite as much as it is a duty to culti- ' vate morality. It belongs to the g Christian's discipline in righteousness. Rational optimism.the optimism of ] the Christian faith and the Christian spirit.is grounded in the reality and c perfection of God. t THE NEW COUNTY, Hie Now Public UiiililinifK.The Doctors Th<* Tcachers The I'retly Youii?

On last t londav a very interesting meeting of the oranlzation was held In the ottlce of Maxwell t t Neel. Papers were read by Drs. Hughey, t turkhalter and Neel, and their several subjots were discussed by the whole body. A t ike organization among men occupied in ther lines would not be a bad Idea.

Not for fear of those who were there The players fled that day, But the lone baee-ballist who didn't come Scared Greenwood's team away. Abbeville and Greenwood didn't play ball ist Wednesday.and thereby hangs a tale. l11 the boys had gotten outside the necessary lnger and trochees and Inside the abbreviated ostumes required; an umpire wide-awake and upervlous to profanity had been provided; n able and industrious colony of rooters had eea settled, but the ball game didn't come ff.

Meanwhile the Greenwood conviction beame fixed on the five o'clock train, and like he celebrated Arab of the desert, esxh player houldered his bat and stole Bilently away. MELANGE.

Abbeville County, 8. C., June Term ^897. To Hon Richard C. Watts, Presiding Judge: Tbe Grand Jury beg leave to make tbe following presentment: Tbat they bave passed upon all bills of indictments handed tbem bv the Solicitor. By Committee we have carefully examined the different county officers, beg leave to report, that without exception, we found the offices filled by competent men who were not only fulfilling tbe requirements of law relative tD fees and charges, but whose offices are neat tmd well kept, having papers properly filed and whose books kept In a businesslike manner. The committee have cancelled and checked off all vouchers In tbe Supervisor, Treasurer aDd School Superlntendeot's offices,and found same correct. We notice that the County Supervisor has made some changes in the method of keeping his expense bills, having same so arranged tbat, without aoy trouble one can ascertain amounts expeoded In dlf- 1 ferent directions. We were Impressed with tbe hearty co-operation of the different offl- cers in rendering all aid neoessary for a com- plete investigation of their books, for whiob we extend thanks. In regard to tbe schools ; of tbe county, would state, that we gather tbe ' following facts and figures from tne School Superintendent's office. < No. of children attendlDg school: White, males 2023 1 White, females 2019 Colored, males 8119 Colored, females 3602 ^ Making In the aggregate 10768 Tanght by 240 teachers, 130 white and 111 colored, at an average salary of 822.50 per month. The above figures represent about 33% per 1 cent. Increase during tne last five yearn, we are glad to note that we have in tbe county 1 quite a number of special school districts. This we deem a good tiign, as it shown that tbe people are taking a deep interest m edu- ' catlonallaflalrs We trust that in the near < future this whole oounty will be dotted over t with speclul school districts, as we think this plan approaches nearer to an ideal school E system than ever did before. In looking over the Supervisor's books, we ' notice that a large sum Is paid out every year < for holding post mortem examination. We think In many instances entirely uonocessa- 8 ry, thereby putting tbe county to needletis 6 eApeuese. Y T C WUUIU lUttb 1U 4 U bill C tbe Coroner and Magistrates be more guarded jand not bold Inquests unless absolutely no- 3 cessary. A committee of our body visited the Poor 1 House. Tbey found tbere 29 InmatBS, 12 £ wblte and 17 colored. Tbey all expressed themselves satisfied. Tbe premises are neat and clean. Tbere is a chapel on tbe premises ' in whicb preaching is held twice a month. ' Mr. Kennedy, the Superintendent, is giving eutire satisfaction, and tbe Inmates speak in his praise. * Our committee visited tbe Jail. They be? leave to report that tbey found everything In , good order. Tbe Jailor having recently had tbe building thoroughly whitewashed. Tbe premises are generally neat and clean, tbe Jailor using sufficient quunitles of dismfeo- 1 tants to prohibit tbe spreading of contaglouB < disease. We would recommend that the heal.- I ul IU bUD UV/Uiliuui UO 1CIUUTCU, no lb ID entirely useless for beatlag purposed and an i obstruction, taking up too much room In tbe ball. I Tbe committee recommends that water t works be placed In tbe Jail buildings, with n < cheap bath tub on each floor, and if practice able a sewer be built to take off tbe slops and flltb. i The Court House Is In a fair condition. Th* two Jury rooms in rear of the Conrt room ars ,ln bad shsipe. I Tbe urinals In each room are In such condl> tlon as not only make them extremely unpleasant, but really dangerous to be occupied for any length of time. We would fecom- mend same to be repaired at once. The Magistrates or the County Lave sent In tbelr transcripts. We have examine! them and found same correct. It has been called to tbe attention of the Qrand Jury tbe need of a lire proof vault In (ho Plnrb'u rvffl />£* In Trhl / h t r* troon t ha ra/VirH It of the County. We understand tbe vault can be placed in tbe adjoining room at a cost nor. exceeding 3S00. If such a vault can be. placed for tbe sum mentioned, and be absolutely fire proof, wonld recommend tbe same put in. Respectfully submitted, J. V. MILLER, Chairman. Kerr's Locals.

The Borrowing: Habit.

In the the day of Shakespeare as well Bas now, "the loan oft loses both itselfaud friend."There is probably no small matter tt

that causes so much annovauce andactual money loss as the habit of bor- |rrowing pretty household supplies, et

| which the borrower often judges are dtoo small to be returned. It is a few tispoonfuls of tea at one time, a Qlittlebutter at auother and the sum total iu U1

a short period may be altogether too /great .for the lender to give away.There is but one way to treat *uchborrowers who never pay, and that isto.borrow the same article until the ce

proper equivalent has been made.This is considerable trouble, but it isthe ouly way to render justice to one's b<self. It is also delicate hiut which themost obdurate borrower is likely toprofit by. It may lose the friend but frsave the loau.There are a great many people who,

like the foolish virgins of the parable, ri

systematically fail to provide for imergenciesand expect to depend upongencies and expect to depend ^pon fctheir more provident neighbors. Af- uter nineteen hundred years they areas typical a glass to-day as they were piin old Judea, tbe woman' without ai

"faculty," who do not hesitate to rumake their silliues^ an excuse for theirdependence, and appear to be utterly ^oblivious of the inconvenience they emay occasion. Judicious hausekeep- ni

ers make it a rule never to borrow rl

unless they are forced to do so by lend- eers that fail to remember their debts, if

jfo servant should be allowed to borrow.Tbe most careless servant will e>soon learn to keep a list, aud whatever ris ueeded can then be ordered at the Tproper time.No independent woman with any

diginity of character indulges in any Ic

such perncicious habit as borrowng.i ume Borrowing oi nousenoiu uieusils,like preserving pots and baking B

tins and similar articles causes a great pdeal of annoyance to lenders, who may iflack the moral courage to say no whenthey would like to do so. The brass u

^ preserving pot of old-fasbioned timeswas an expensive article which only a £jfew families in a village could afford w

to own and a large number of thehouse-holds formerly depended upon v

the kindness of their wealthier neigh- cbors for the means of preparing theirwinter's supplies of preserving fruit. l<

In return they often gave assistanceto lenders in preserving time. A largeprocelain-lined pot suitable for preufervincrm»v now he nnrnhased for SI.and no family need depend upon neighbor#.Yet to-day the borrowing of o

preserving paus is most as common asin those olden dayB, and no equivalent :

is ever given, because the preservingpot is no longer costly, though the in- "

convenience of lending it may be as tjgreat as before, aud the injury done to iiit is likely to be more lasting. Theold brass bot wasj literally indestructiblebut the uew pots areeasily injured. LThe lender of household article*:.,

must submit to much pretty annoyMW iand to much lost, if she doeft- notsubmit with smile3 to all.ttfMioiW "

made upon her she is likelj to be£^K>n- idemned as unobliging alio mem. It »

requires more firmnesrtban tbe *ver- £age woman possesses Co refuse.

. -1 - iAnd the hearts needs to' kuow God a

as the All-beautiful and All-good, the ^Source ofwhatever is tender and lovablein this world. Otherwise ourmost beautiful ideas are onI> bubbleson the stream of accident. Unless DGod is in all, earthly love'is insub- 1Btantial.

To cultivate hopefulness is a duty,quite as much as it is a duty to culti- '

vate morality. It belongs to the gChristian's discipline in righteousness.Rational optimism.the optimism of ]the Christian faith and the Christianspirit.is grounded in the reality and c

perfection of God. t

To Hon Richard C. Watts, Presiding Judge:Tbe Grand Jury beg leave to make tbe followingpresentment:Tbat they bave passed upon all bills of indictmentshanded tbem bv the Solicitor.By Committee we have carefully examined

the different county officers, beg leave to report,that without exception, we found theoffices filled by competent men who werenot only fulfilling tbe requirements of lawrelative tD fees and charges, but whose officesare neat tmd well kept, having papers properlyfiled and whose books kept In a businesslikemanner.The committee have cancelled and checked

off all vouchers In tbe Supervisor, TreasureraDd School Superlntendeot's offices,and foundsame correct. We notice that the CountySupervisor has made some changes in themethod of keeping his expense bills, havingsame so arranged tbat, without aoy troubleone can ascertain amounts expeoded In dlf- 1

ferent directions. We were Impressed withtbe hearty co-operation of the different offl-cers in rendering all aid neoessary for a com-plete investigation of their books, for whiobwe extend thanks. In regard to tbe schools ;of tbe county, would state, that we gather tbe
