ill 3 Press and Banner. ABBKTILI-E, S.C. I - -= I Wednesday, Dec. 31, 1884. 1.1 --K . . The WJilskor Qnostion in Columbia. Tnusccrtain tlio sentiment of tiio people o!'| Columbia on the question ot "licenco" or "no-t ll?sn?e"nn election wa? held Inst Saturday, WO votes for "license" and 170 vote's for "no-lici'tiRO." From this eloctlon it would eoom j that there Is no doubt as to public sentiment on that question nt the capltol of the .State. In fact wo need not be surprised to seethe "no-license" party carry the day at any town ns long as the law authorizes tho putting ot the license fees into the treasury of the town We need never expect a fair expression of the mil sentiment of the poaple ns Ions as this condition ot affairs exists. What Justice is there in allowing a town to realize the profits from tho salo of whiskey while the whole county must bear the court expenses which may be Incurred in the trial of causes which arise from drink ? The cheapest notoriety that wo know of is that which Gov. Cleveland has gained by returning two worthless presents, and rI vine to the prc#s copic? of his letters to the donors. when returning uio same, uicvemnu, mnsi be peculiarly sensitive. If a dog or a demijon of whiskey would place him under oblizatlons. In our opinion we think that the Pros-! Jdent-olect has elven enough of such private It-tters to the pres.", and will do himself credit by making less pretense of excessive virtue. ) ? THE CLUB BALL IN THE NEW HOTEL.

In a quiet and unostentatious way the poopie of Abbeville have had a delightful Christmas.

More superb accoin-1 n'odnlions could not have been had any-! where, nnd the arrangements could not have been more perfectly made by the most skillfnl manipulator of the most fashionable entertainment. lietween nine and ten o'clock the place was | tilled with as elegant a company ol people as ; is ever seen anywhere, nnd at the sound of the luuslc beauliful women and manly men en-I paged In the dance, presenting a tableau of j beauty, grace nnd courtly manners which carried this bachelor's heart so completely cap-! tlve that he would not attempt to describe a ! scene where "Natrjre's sweet and cunning, hand" had done so much, and where "Kach form a casket brlxht A priceless gem contained," J nnd when each noble manly heart was moved lo love or admiration for "A form so fair. that, like the air, 'lis less ot earth than heaven."

A Rnd Story Resulting from Carrying of n Pistol mid the too Free I'sc of Wlil*key?Seeing the Wreck that has been Caiifteri by th?K? Evils, Will it have the Proper Restrain-! Injc Influence Vpon Other Young: Men? This community was shocked and a doom chsi over the Christmas festivities by the shooting of Mr. Arthur M. Hetiedict by Mr. John O. Ferguson, which sad event occurred in ihe store of Mr. Charles Aucrhitch In Abbejville, jit hnlf-pnst one o'clock, Wednesday, December :M, l-S>'4. The killing wns done with what is called it "bull do^" pistol, of 38 calibre, ihe hall breaking the sixth rib and penetrating the left lun:; immediately bi low the heart. Death resulted In about flfte?-u minutes, though thedeccased nccome unconscious within an exceeding short time. It was the day iie.'ore Christmas and the streets ?nd stores were crowded with people who were buying needed goods or were In search for suitable gifts to bestow upon loved ores, on the anniversary of the birth of the i Great Lover of mankind, and up to the time ! of t he shooting it was reasonable to suppose that all mankind were at pcacc with the world. Nothing had occurred to mar the pleasure of the day. Mr. Auerhach's store I was tun 01 customer.*, nuu .?ir. uun-uiu ?i<9 | at liIn usual placo of business, intent on serv| in^ his em plot or faithfully, anil in the active discharge of hi^ duty to customers, when his slayer entete-.i tiic store ami shot liirn. Some of the witness say that he spoke to deceased, and heard deceased nek now ledge his presence. Other witnesses who were equally as near and had an equal opportunity to hear, testify that they heard no words between them, lieyond report of the atlalr we know nothing however, and speak only from hearsay. The deceased, as soon a* he was shot, placed ! ills hands over the wound, and going toward the door in gieit agony, with tearful eyes, and death pictured on his face, cried out: | "My God; I ant shot: Hold me," and atrnce, the man, who was so recently in full vUor of manhood, was helpless and began to sink to the earth, but was caught by the persons to 1 whoiu he spoke, and who were standing near [ to him. Hrt was then curried to his hotel in a I dying condition, gasping for breath. Almost ! Immediately alter tils arrival at the hotel, he died, without having uttered any o'her words I than those which we have just mentioned. | Chief Marshal ItUoy was standing near the door at the time of the shooting, and heard I the report of the pi*tol, but in the gieat | thromr, which was standing on the street and | crowding the store, the report of the pistol | would not have at tract ad further attention i than would the explosion ol a tire-cracker, I which goos of)'unnoticed in the Christinas ..I I..., ,!? > ..u.lnm.K li(.Lr.m ) lime.-, uiii. ii.niivv.ini. ij von....... ?I,..- I I to leave the store in grout huste. Mr. Riley at I one* pressed Into the store, finding the slayer ! ol ihe ilccnsed standing, with the pistol still I In his hand. Admitting that hedkl theshootInz, and ftlicgmx that deceased was trying lo 1 kill nlm, he was immediately arretted and disarmed. Without suspicion ns to the extwnt jorthegrcnt injury which Mr. Ferguson had 'inflicted on Mr. Benedict, Marshal Riley at (once mnrchod him oft' In the direction of the I town calluboose. On the ro-.td to the lock up * lie asked to he taken to the lntendant of the | town, that he might give bond. Upon nppllicatlon to. lntendant Hammond, he was directed to" another officer of the law. Being , taken to Trial Justice BeBruhl the prisoner, ! a^ked that oflleer If iiis fnther-tn-law. Mr. \V. I Jl. Brooks, would be sufficient security. Bej fore Trial Justice DcBruhl would decide as to I whether lie would take bond at all, he re-i I quested the m?rshal to ascertain the extent | of the Injury. Upon the teturn of the marshal he Informed Trial Justice DcBruhl, that . Rftnmllnt VCOB fll'lnrr Hunt! U'flH t linn Tf?- I fused, when ttic prisoner wan sunt to the 1 county Jail, wheie wo presume he trill remain until lie shall answer lo his country for the deed which bus sent Mr. Benedict to his gra\ e. It is paid that Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Benediet had had. about n week be'ore thekllllng. a dispuic about the pay for a load of wood, which Mr. Ferguson had sold to Mr. Benedict for seventy-five eeuts. At this difficulty Mr. Benedict claimed that Mr. Auerbach had cbaryed him with the amount and that It was a matter now between Mr. Auerbach. his employer, and Mr. Ferguson. Mr. Auerbach t-lnlmcd that II liatl btcn paid by him In a settlement. with Mr. Ferguson. Immediately after tne kllllnz, rumor had it that Mr. Forenoon would be brought before one of the Judges on a writ of habeas corpus, with the possibility that Judge McGowan would grant the desired bail. Afterwards the current talk was, that Judge McGowan being a Supreme Judge cou'd not ant In (tie matter, as long as Judge Cotbrun. the Circuit Judge, was In town, and we have heaid opinion expressed that Jui!ge Cothran would not grant the bail, even admitting thai Insfatber-lh-iaw would goon Ferguson's bond. Accoidlng to Jewish custom in cases of violent death, the body of Mr. Benedict was placed In his coJHn In the clothing which was upon his person at the Instant of the killing, and he wan hurled without any changeot ap parol. hi- wont to lit s it rave in ms uioorly vestments. In the belief that nil men will rl.-e from tlielr graves on the day of the great resurrection, wearing the apparel in which they were hurled, the hopeprevailsamong the Jews that as tbe slain man appears before the Great Judue without his shroud, ' his wedding garment," that he can because of hlswounos and his bloody clothing plead extenuation for ills uuroiglvcu sins, and, as few of us are prepared to appear before the Great Judgo, and as all of us would, before our departure at least cry, "Father. forgive." We trust that He who doetli all thincs well will fnrclve the brother, who was carried oir so suddenly that he had not the opportunity of making even the slightest preparation for his departure or of uttering the shortest prayer lor mercy. Mr. Auerbnch took his body aboard the train on Christmas morning, and quite a number of persons, as a mark of respect to the deceased, went to the railroad depot to witness the departure of his remains, which were taken to Columbia, and deposited In the Jewish burial ground of that city. For further particular of the fatal deed .attention is directed to the evidence us given at the Coroner's Inquest over the dead hody, which may be found elsewhere In the Press and liannt-r. Mr. Arthur M. Benedict, the deceasod, was about twenty-seven years of age, n? unmarried man, a stranger In a strange land. He was a native of Austria hut had been living in Abbeville some four or five years, during which time he had saved some money, and at the time of his death was perfecting arrangements by which he could open a store on his own account in Greenville, Mississippi, about the first of next February. Ho had made good friends among our own people. Retiring and Inotlei-Hlve In tils manners.courteous and warm-hearted in bis seniiiuents, bis death Is much regretted. Mr. John C. Ferguson is about twenty-four years of age, the ton or Mr. A. J. Ferguson. a well-known farmer of considerable property, living B<>nie four miles west of Abbeville village. Two or three years ago he was married to a daughter of Mr. W. II. Brooks,a wealthy and much re-pect.-d citizen of this village. After tils marriage he settled on a tract of laud which bis lather bought at the eRtatc mile of T. C. Perrin, and built a house on It, with every prospect of a lair success?his greatest diaw bark being his love of wblskcv. The prisoner Is on the tirst floor of the Jail? being the second story of the building?occupying the second cell on the east side or the house. He has a coinforlahle bed. two or three chairs, and other little conveniences which add to bis comfort. He receives the newspapers, and whiles away the ti e in reading them, when his wife Is not with him, though she stays in the cell with biiu much of the lime. A stove is placed In the corridor rear the bars or the cell and all necessary warmth Is kept up. He makes no complaint as to the treatment which he has received, but seems grateful to Mr. Dul're for kindness. The case against Mr. Ferguson will come up for trial during the February Term of the Court of General Sessions, at Abbeville, but it Is reported that the deieudant will make a motion to have the trial postponed until the next term of the Court. 'I he irlal will command the most ablo counsel on both sides. Cnpt. M. L. Bonham and Mr. V.'. C. McGowan will assist the able and ! efllcU nt State Solicitor, Col. J. L. Orr. The defendant has employed Mr. W.C. Benet, Mr. I.. W. Smith and Colonel E. B. Gary. The killing was committed In the presence of a large number of witnesses, and it Is fair to presume that all the facts will bo brought out on the trial. The parties areall white?no race prel U'llce in it, unless it shall be that there is a prejudice against one who lins committed the sin of being born a fnroitsner. The eyes of the country will therefore be upou (he Jury, anil their act u ill be noted. Without knowing the fact, It is said, that the pica of insanity will be made In behaif of Mr. Ferguson. We publish full notes of the evidence as gi ven at the coroner's Inquest. We think It well to do so for various icanon*. In the first place, it isa matter which concerns the public, and the public have a right t?? know the facts. It the next place, it is but Just 10 the living and to the dead that the facts should be known. For this tca*on and for the rea>>on that the Courts will investigate this matter, we have etideavred to makca fair and impartial statement of facts, without any desire to prejudice tiie pi bile opinion lor or against the prisoner. One of thesad incident* connected with the killing of Mr. Benedict was In ttic fact ti at the niarrla-.-e of Mr. Ferguson's wife's sister. Miss Brooks, hmi been set for thai day. He and bis wife bud driven thut morning to town In a buggy to be present on that interesting occasion, arriving only a short while before ilie shooting look place. Three hours after his arrlvul-nt four o'clock in the afternoon, the same hour at which the marriage ceietnony was being said ?Mr. Benedict had been slain, Mr. Ferguson had become a prisoner In the County Jull, and the inquest was being held over the deud ; body. To each and all of the tnutiy hetirls tlintj nuve wen sanueneu oy mis uagetiy we Know the hearts oft his people go out in tendeicst sympathy, even the friend* of tlie stianger who now fleet s In the untimely grave which has been made for him In this far-oil land, to which he had come to seek an honest living. In meditating on this scene ol blood, whlen has saddened so many hearts at home and abroad, would it not bo well for each and all or us to Inquire how much of this blood may he properly chargeable to us Individually? It might be well inr us to inquire to what, extent we are Indl vldually to blame for this homicide, and it might l>e well lor us to ask ourselves, If we,as a people, ate not more to blame than the misguided neighbor who has slain the Jew and the stranger. Il we as citizens, witnesses, jurors, and court ollleors, as a whole, had done our full duty In the years that are past, would this homicide have been a probability? If we had given moral support to the law against carrying concealed weapons, it is not possible that Ferguson could havesluln Benedict. Iftno>e I who knew that Ferguson was carrying that j pistol had used proper effort to prevent it, I Benedict would have been n live man to-day, and Feignson wou'd have been happy with | his family, and us hopeful us the best of ourj youths. The courts being the exponent, not only of; the law, but ul?o of public opinion, has that [ tribunal and that public opinion, upheld the! sacridness of human life, and visited Just punishment to those who would deprive the I citizen of his richest estate? We leave it for | others to say 11 public sentiment is not al-l inost wholly responsible for the receut kill- j tnc I We tnade no protest against his violation of; the law In carrying the pistol, and, we ob-i Jeeted not to the Ugallziugof the sale of thej whiskey which craned his brain. While these facts are no excuse for Ferguson, y<t are our own skirts clear? We leave! It for others to say whether we exerted a prop-1 er effort to prevent Benedict's death, and we j leave it for others to Nay if there are not to-! day many nohle young men, violating the law In refeteuce to pistols, and who are only waitlnz for the proper moment to arrive, | when they may i lunge thetnscivis and their families into a sea of trouble, where sighs and te.irs will he unavailing? Besides a good healthy moralseriirnent. we n? ed a Court which is organized and maintained f-ir a hither purpose than of dean-irg guilty stains from the red hauds of the citizen who may choose to imbue them in his neighbor's blood. In the uanie of peace and good order, have we not had enough of b!oodj-hed ? 'then will nut our young tn.-n lay aside their pistols, and meet their giievimccs In a more courageous way than that of the use of the murderous pi.-toi ? Oi'K Legislature was a very conservative body. Mu John Chii.ks of Troy was at the ball. Mil. K. S. Mri<tnji*ox was :;t the ball.
