The Abbeville Press and Banner, i Ma BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1893. ESTABLISHED 1844 W The Conviction or Kullivnn. After a trinl lasting four days, and in which he was represented by an able counsel. J. Mlras Sullivan was convicted on Saturday of the mutder of H. G. Cllreath at Green? vllie In .Iuue,lS92. The cuse w;?s removed from Greenville County to Anderson county to Insure a fall . trial. The defence w>is conducted with all ' the skill that the most experienced legal lalent of the State in such cases could command. The plea was the familiar one of ^self-defence"?md the e*idenc< did not sustain It In the minds of those who have read the published reports of the trial nor In the minds ol the Jury selected by the accused The vlrdlctof murder w is warranted by the testimony of the niHDy witnesses In whose presence the crime was committid. Notice was given by the counsel, of course, of a motion tor a uow trial, to;be made todxy, 3?ud every effort will doubile^s be made to Mavetheconvlctedm.ni Irom the consi quencea of his crime. With what result remains to be seen. I lie important ana remount!* features of the ca^e so tar 1* Unit a conviction wan secured, despite the color and the high social standing ot the accused, and despite the strong array of lawyers thai he was able to command for his defence. It has not been many days since another white mull was hanged lor murder In the adjoining county of Spartanburg after he had exhausted ail the raeaus that money could employ to save his lite. The demands of strict justice appears ts be receiving home recogntzntlon In South Carolina, at least, and at last. I?Ien who carry revolvers In their seciion will not be so ready to use them hear-after nor so well assured of ?*captng punishment lor using them with Turner's fate and .Sulllvans conviction belore their minds?News and Curlor. The counsel for tba defense erred In not re' moving the trial to Abbevllie. If the case bad been tried before an Abbeville Jury, we have no doubt that he would have tome clear. The uniformity with which our Juries acquit for the crime of murder has destroyed * ???*>#! <ho Procu ail interest in muruer w mn, uuu ti.v ?. < and Banner has ceased to make notes of them. If there was danger of an occasional conviction, much interest would be added to the trials for murder. The juries, however, seem to follow the precedent by acqultlng nearly | every white man, and to be consistent tbey a-so acquit uegroes who ought to suffer for their ciimes. Human ilie Is the cheapest thing in this county. Anybody may shoot unybody, and If he alleges that the murdered man was put ii.ig his hand in his hip pocket such an as ^ a-iult on a coward Is sure to bring an ucquital K /jr murder. White men are sure to be ac V quilted of thecnurge of murder, if the deau B inm is shot in the hack. That seems to be a. W favorite place for shooting men in self deieuce. It may be, however, that a Jury will some day be drawu that is willing to render a verdict t.ccjrdlng 10 the evidence, and it may be that the courts will refuse the requisite number of new trials to secure an ncquittal. In such an evtnlsome gentleman may >et sufltr lor shooting a man in the back lu sell defeuce. Twelve Pairew. We commence thts week to print the Press and Ganjuer in twelve page form. We cannot say how long Ihls will continue. Tlu ienghth or time that we will print twelve pages will depend entirely on the amount oi advertising that we may have in the future, and upon the appreciation which our subscribers may snow of the enlarged paper.

The Stale keeps ative the question of th eleeliun or the re-eiectlon ol the Judges I this State, und as we presume these editorial invite comment, we give the views of th Press und Banner. That paper suggests the idea that the ol judges will not be rfe-eleoted by the Genera Assembly, and by the heading of a recent ed itorlal,"A Warning," that paper seems to in] , ply a threat ot some kind. We think the will o' the people should b respeeied by ihe Judicial and the executiv officer*. Where the decided majority of the peopl have expressed their wish, the Supretm Court should maintain the constitutionality of their act, unless such act is In clear viola lion of the organlo law of the land. The pea pie themselves being greaterand more power lul than the constitution, even doubtlul acti of cousrituitonality should be maintained 01 sustained when backed by the people. rvUnn.?i;,.n Anil tWa (nWlnlol ilonort ?nAn 11 X lie CACViUl l>C OUU IUC juuivink u v ^>u I UUJCU VI of the govern ment are co-ordinate, anc neither should interfere with the other, un ess there should he a clear ease of overstep ping the legal and authorized bounds. Olti cial courtesy should restrain the one fro in in terlering mill) the other in matters of propri ety or expediency. The office of J udge is not filled for t he pur post? of ih war ting the will of the people, 01 for the purpose ol obstructing or restraining the representatives ol the people from doinn any lawful act. The history of the recent past furnishes precedent for changing the Judges ol this Stale when a new political party came into power, In ISTii, or soou thereafter, the Republican Judges were out of office. Their places were titled by men who more nearly represented ;he will of the political party in power. The hatreds and animosities now existing between the "outs" and the "ins''in this State are as bitter and as unrelenting us it was In the days of Radical rule or in the tune that succeeded the Democratic reconstruction ol 1370. The Judges who sympathize with the deposed faction and who may from the most nonest and the most conscientious motives seik to obstruct the executive and legislative departments of the government may expect to excite the wrath ot the political or popular branch of the government, and such Judges have no right to complain if their places are tilled by other men who are more In sympathy with the people. Judges, Governors and Legislators are indeed powerful, but If either branch of the government undertakes todefeat the will ol ihe people, they will soon be swept irom power. Thp nwinlp are the source of all oower and they will no! submit to tbd rule of those who cannot conscientiously carry out their wishes, and no man should hold office If bo cannot conscientiously do the will of the people. There has beeu some praise of Judge Hudson which seemed to us to imply that other Judges were lacking Id the very virtues for which he was extolled. We take no stock In such praise. We believe tnat Judge fJudson Is Justus honest as any other member of the Bench, and we believe that any other member of the Bench is Just as hot est ns he is. The questiou of honesty does not enter, and has no proper place in this Issdo. There is no possible ground ol charging dishonesty to any one of the Judges. But the fact is that Till man's political supporters are about two-thirds ol ihe people of ihisStute. Add to this large majoiIty ninetenths of all the prohibitions of the commonwealth. and we will have perhaps SO or 85 per cent, ot Ihe people supporting the dispensary law. Will that large majority of the people allow Judge Hudson or anybody else to stand In their way while thev are trying to bring about a great moral reform ? We think they would be natural horn fools, If they submitted to any such official tyranny. Here are four-fifths of the people of South Carolina struggling to close the bar rooms and to shut up Ihe places In which their sons, ?i.<*!* Kmihrnv ihiilr hnwhnmlfi arid thpir fu ihers may be debauched,aud where they may lenm habits which may ruin thelr-happlness and destroy their material prosperity, to say nothing of the lows of even the hope of eternal salvation. Will the people of South Carolina allow anyJudge to take them by the throat and fifty you shall not disturb the right of the liquor seller to make money by de itrojlng the people? Prate about honesty In any such Judge, If you will. But the Press and Banner wants no such honesty in any ottUial position. We want no honesty which holds the rights of the liquor dealer above the sobriety, the prosperity and the hupplnccs of the people. Away with any such honesty. We want none of it, and if the people of the Slate of South Carolina have not lost their self respect they will hurl ail such honesty from official position. Sell-preservation demands that all such honesty be relegated to the rear. Th? good name of South Carolina demands that she assert her right to protect herciti bars Jor tlie destruction of her people. Let ill such honesty retire from office. That In the kind of honesty which our people should despise and put Irom their presence. Judge Hudson, holding the conscientious position that the right to deal In whiskey Is as 6acred as the right to sell bacon and lard -boulo voluntarily step down and out. No man holding such a standard of morals should sit upon the Bench in Houth Carolina He has no right to administer the law and put an Iron hand upon the throat of the people at a time while they are seeking to rid themselves of the evils resulting from the whiskey traffic. The Judge who conscientiously holds that liquor Is as sacred as bacon and .bread should be deposed. The Judge who holds that the right to make druukards is as sacred as the right ol self-preservation should take no part in our government. The Judge who denies to the people of this state the right to protect themselves from the snares and temptations of rum holes should gooutof public position, ducb Judge represepts neither the morality nor the liberty of the people, and his conlln " ??? rvfRrto ti'Anl/1 hi? a itionor>o t r% thnl r moRt sacred heritage? the right of self-government, The Press and Bauner believes that none of the Judges should be defeated merely because of spite, but we believe that the Legislature would be justifiable In leaving out the obstructionists. The political side of the government is primarily the source of all power, and those whose conscientious convictions lead them to obstruct or defeat the will of the people should be retired from office. We have good men on the Bench, and It voulu not be to the credit of the General Assembly to pnt them all of!". Those who have been NOO'partisnn, and those whose honesty has not led them to override the will of the people, should be retained. It would be fair and right for the General Assembly to discriminate. It isn't possible that all the Judges have been misled by the r honesty. It would be undignified and unworthy of them to put men out of office for uo other reason thau that they had the power to do so. A BBILLIANT SUCCESS, I Joyous Occasion Tor Old and Young? MuhIo and Nunc, Accompanied by Ureal {'tiijnliM of Ayisdoin. Mite Box Day at Fbenezer church was a suicessful and enjoyable occasion from every .Standpoint. The children acquitted themselves brilliantly, and looked a perfect plcnirn ?if liMullh nitfi liKMiit.v. Miss Hurliuru l.r> max, the regular organist for tbesociety, had requested her friend, Mrs. Knox, to act in her place on thlK occasion. The duett "Come thou Fount," arranged by Mrs. Knox and rendered by her and Miss Strickle, was the vocal gem of the occasion. Messrs. Whitaker and llauitnond made tine talks and convulsed the youngsters with lauuhter. Hev. W. H, Hodges, pastor of Gicenwood church, made an elegant address, lull of Christian fervor, pathos and eloquence. The fine and thorough training of old Wotl'ord, and the brilliant oratory of Vanderbllt are evident in every striking line and melodious Bentence he utters. The receipts were &0 96. Little Katie Botts won first prize, Henry Cannon second, Marie Cromer third, Charles Hampton tfotts fourth, i avid Cromer fifth. The decorations of autumn leaves, mo"?, grasses and fi.jwers, were pronounced very artistic and beautllul. The Society desires to thank Mrs. Knox, Miss Strickle, Miss Mamie C<>x, Miss ida Keller, Miss Black, and Miss Toluert for nelpiuK them to make the day a BU'vesH.

The Remarkable Gyrating of a Steam Engine Boiler. | 0 r A few dayi< ago it was noted in several daily _ 'I papers and perhaps iu yours also, that a steam J. boiltr bad exploded on my place in Abbeville ^ County. The incidents and causes leading to its sade den explosion may be interesiing and itislruc n live to this community especially, as well an 18 (-dentists, who bave knowledge of the prej.c e tive force of confined steam when suddonly rej leased, aud under which latter condition the 1 remarkable g\rations of this boiler occurred. I- I question if the history of .explosion can furi nish a paralel incident. Thia boiler and another, it's exac' mate, were e made by the Wo-t Point Machine Co., West e Point Pa., the iron wa* of ordinary thickness e aud gtade known as "boiler llaogenm." and in a all senses both as to material and manufacture C was first class.
