.1 eli.ico, Tkn.n., Nov. 27.—Henry
Gibbs, who was shot through the body
last Sunday night a week ago, is again
able to be out. This man is a walking
bullet-pouch. He is 51 years old, and
was born in Clay county, Kentucky.
Two years ago he moved to this place,
and since his residence here, he has
become involved in many difficulties.
The first was with Thomas Cot
ton, who shot him in the left ankle,
the ball lodging in the joint. In the
second he was shot by Nathan Collins,
the ball taking effect in his left knee-
joint, and is still there. The third af
fray originated at Cumberland Gap,
when he was ambushed hv seven men,
and Colan Turner shot Gibbs in the
right side with two loads of buckshot
and birdshot. Over 200 shot were pick
ed from his side and shoulder. At the
same time, A1 Cole shot him with a 44
caliber in the right breast, the ball com
ingout under the shoulder-blade. Gibbs
got three of his men in this battle. The
fourth, fifth and sixth times, by Andy
Griswold, one ball taking effect on the
right breast, another through the right
Shoulder, and the third entered his left
thigh and ranging downward lodged in
the tleshy part of the leg. The seventh
time was last Sunday night, in a diffi
culty with Harry Broughton,
who shot him through the
body, the ball entering on the
left side, and was cut from under the
skin on the right side. This laid him
up for seven days. He has been cut
fifteen times, and carries the scars to
prove his assertions. He does not seem
any the Worse for bis wounds, and talks
in a joking manner about his many
shooting and cutting affrays Yv hik
lying in an unconscious condition he
says he was made to realize the great
difference between heaven and hell, and
that in the future he will be a good
man and live a Christian life. Gibbs
lias never been considered a dangerous
man, but is always ready to backup
bis words and acts with liis gun ur
knife. He now has four bullets and a
number of buckshot in his body.
Broughton, the man who shot him on
the night of the Kith inst., eluded the
officers and lied to unknown parts.

It is with no small degree of pha-ure

that the trains will be put on the Geor

Monday, leaving Abbeville it is sup
posed about eleven o’clock in the morn
ing and returning at about four o’clock
in the afternoon.
The new or supplementary schedule
has not yet beeu arranged, but Mr. Dod
son and Mr. Glover auth irize us to state
that the train will be run on a schedule
yet to be determined upon.
When all the arrangements are com
pleted, and mail contracts secured, Sun
day trains will be run.
A sleeper will be put on a night train,
which will leave here, say at seven
o’clock. This in additio i to the regular
day train for the accommodation of
through and local travel.
The matter of connecting with the
trains at Greenwood lias not yet been
determined u:i on, bnt we are thor
oughly convinced that all the officers of
tlie road are excellent business men,
who are ambitious to make their road
a success.
They seem to be anxious to serve the
public in the most acceptable manner,
believing that such a course would not
only pay them better, but would also
tend to develop and improve the
country.
.While it is true that the road is per
haps the best in all the State, yet for
prudential reasons, they do not intend
to run their trains at breakneck speed.
When the roadbed has settled, ami
grown firm and solid, the speed will
increased to a high rate of travel.
Now, that this splendid road has been
completed to our doors, and when the
country i£ to be so much benefited by
competition, it is expected that business
men will give them a liberal share of
their freight, and the officers of the
road will esteem it a favor if merchants
and others would instruct shippers to
send goods by the -‘Seaboar I Air Line.”
Mr. Roberson has spent his money to
build the road, and has done so, look
ing to our people for that business
which his splendid equipment and
abundant facilities enable him to carry
with promptness and safety.

Tlie Condition of Affairs Discussed by Po
litical Lookers-On.
Greenville, S. C., Nov. 28.—Now
that Tillman is governor, and the legis
lature is in session, groups of politicians
can he seen discussing the campaign of
Governor Tillman with all —*.
Governor Tillman, with all its attendant
bitterness and venom, and every mnn
gives his reasons for the condition of
things, past and present. Here is one
sample of argument:
That portion of Mr. P. J. Moran’s
Asheville Ieltjsr referring to the Tillman
election and white supremacy, was dis-'
cussed. Loveral gentlemen stated that
tliey didn’t agree witli Mr. Moran, and
that tlie election of Tillman himself had
nothing whatever to do with the estab
lishment of white supremacy. Had arty
other man received the nomination of
the Democratic stale convention, he
would have been elected as quickly and
as easily as Tillman, or any of his prede
cessors, since Hampton, with the solid
white vote, wrested the state govern
ment from negro supremacy. The expe
rience of the white people of this state
in the post has been too severe to allow
a large majority of them to ever think
of opposing the regular Democratic
nominee, whoever lie may be.
Thus it is seen tliat Tillman, as a lead
er, is ignored. However, it is conceded
that it is well enough to let well enough
alone, and that Mr. Moran’s views on
tlie situation are not worth any more
than any other gentleman’s private opin
ions.

EVA HAMILTON IS FREE.
How an Athenian Bachelor Cares for
His Earthly Goods.
Our old friend Judge Nicholson is the
noblest work of God—an honest man.
He is kind and considerate, and never
did a human being barm during his
long life. The Judge belongs to that
gertus homo known as an “old bache
lor.” While in his young days Cupid
set many snares to entrap him, the
Judge always managed to escape the
matrimonial noo-e. All of his life Judge
Nicholson h is redded to himself, in a
room over which he was the sole master.
While this domicile was not as neat per
haps, as mtny parlors, at thesuue time
there was a place for everything and
everything was in its place. For in
stance, the Judge always keens his
shoes on t ie mautlepiece, and his kind
ling wood concealed between the ‘mat
tresses; a split-bottomed chair did ser
vice as a vash stand, and he kept his
Sunday clothes nicely hung up on the
floor in one corner of the room. But
while t lese arrangements were not such
as many ladies would endure, they had
the advantage of convenience, and the
darkest night Mm owner could place his
hand o i any article he needed.
While Judge Nicholson is one of the
most charitable of men, aud his hand
is ever open to the poor and needy, he
takes care of his possessions. As an il
lustration, the year after the surrender
he bought a lot of lightwood to kindle
his fire. It was stored away in his
wardrobe and bureau drawers, and only
one piece at a lime taken out, that was
hid in his bed. The Judge has used
from that same load of pine now for
over a quarter of a century, and he told
us yesterday that he has several sticks
yet left—enough to last him years to
come, with economy. But this is not
all. He has a whisk broom and hair
brush he has used constantly for over
fifty years, and they are in good condi
tion yet.
Judge Nicholson has a host of friends
in Athens, who wish he may live to
burn up a train load of pine, and use up
all the whisk-brooms in Georgia.

From time immemorial it has been as
serted that women grew old far faster
than men. A woman at 40 is, it is said,
passee. A man at 40 is often handsomer
than in youth, and his feelings are as
fresh as at 25.
The cases are reversed nowadays,”
remarked a brilliant woman at a social
gathering recently. “Women are just
beginning to live at 85. They scarcely
attain to their belleships till 70.”
This was, of course, only a clever mot,
bnt it could not have been made had it
not been true that women were never so
strong, so healthful or so happy as at
present and here. They never under
stood so well the truth of the poet’s say
ing:
The richest of all lords is use.
And ruddy health's the loftiest muse.
The reason is because they have never
had so much freedom /is in the Nine
teenth century, and there is no land
where this freedom is conceded so gen
erally as in onr own favored America.
Freedom, in the true sense of the word,
agrees with men and women, as it does
with everything that grows.
But though this is true of the women
of the highest culture, of those who may
be called the representative women, the
fact remains that there are still thou
sands and thousands of their sisters who
are growing old long before their time.
They are aging at 80; stupidly homely
and uninteresting if not chronic inva
lids at 40; infirm at 50, and deaf, blind,
or halt, perhaps dead, shortly afterward.
These women may be well to do and
fairly educated. They are often pious.
They mean well, but they do not know
how to bring things to pass. They
would like to keep their youthful feel
ings and enjoy life at 40 as they ought
to far more than at 20, but they do not
know how. Very likely they do not
think such a thing possible.
These women constantly adorn the
outside. They apply vaseline to their
wrinkles, and their crimping pins more
assiduously than ever to their hair, as
they see the creases and the silver
threads gathering. Poor simpletons!
Your genuine clever woman knows bet
ter than this. She knows that you can
no more beat back age with these flimsy
devices than you can cure a skin disease
by outward applications, or than a comet
can be stopped by a papal bull. She
knows that if the inside be right women
will look well, as Mr. Ruskin says, in
ways of which they have no conception.
The New York correspondents have
beeu latterly enlarging upon the grow
ing part which physical exercise plays in
the lives of modern society women. It
is the latest “fad” among this class—and
seems likely to have come to stay—to
take sedulous care of the health and to
develop the muscle.
The thoroughgoing, intelligent society
woman of today has found out that
there can be no permanent beauty with
out health, and also that intellect and
activity are absolutely necessary if she
would make herself a light in the “best
circles.”
Consequently our fashionable dames
are attending to the body and the mind
as never before. Their fives are as un
like as possible to those of their dead-
and-alive prototypes of twenty years
ago. ■
In the first place, if a woman would
preserve her youthful strength and
beauty she must eat regularly and plen
tifully, bnt not too heartily, of nutri
tious food. Our fashionable women are
most substantially fed. Their food is
not always of the most digestible char
acter, but at least the pie and the dough
nuts, which have slain or stultified their
thousands, are excluded from their bill
of fare, and the multitudinous cake of
the country districts is also falling into
desuetude among the best people in our
cities.
In the second place, exercise is the
order of the day among grandes dames.
They not only ride, drive and practice
with dumbbells and fencing gloves, bnt
they are walking in the open air more
than ever before. They act upon Emer
son’s saying, “When you have worn out
your shoes the strength of the sole
leather has gone into the fiber of your
body.”
In the third place, no one canTreep her
youthful .looks who does not sleep at
least eight hours on an average out of
every twenty-four. It is true that the
women of society axe often flitting at
midnight from one ballroom to another.
Bnt, on the other hand, they breakfast
at noon after such dissipations, and
often deny themselves a matinee or an
afternoon reception in order to take a
needed siesta.
No one knows better than your astute
society woman that the bewitching fights
in her eyes and the dimples around her
mouth, to say nothing of her complexion
and of her quickness at repartee, will be
hopelessly destroyed unless she takes
abundant sleep, and that as regularly as
she cart possibly get it.
Her baths, too, are made a scientific
study with the society woman, while
