CBOFF'S EXCURSION. '
A tiood Trip for Those Wbo Took Ad> C
vantKRe of the Cheap Rates R
Tbanhsglvlng Day.
Quite a number of our people took advantage
of tbe holiday and the excursion to visit j
Atlanta. Tbe train was advertised to leave
early, and it did so, and owing to that fact f
some wbo doubted the punctuality of excursion
trains failed to get aboard before tbe .
train left Abbeville. We reached Atlanta '
very nearly as scheduled, thus allowing ample
time to partake of a sumptuous Thanks- *
giving dinner before the amusements of tbe (
afternoon commenced. The Abbeville people
knowing bow lo appreciate a good thing ,
went to the matinee at tbe Grand Opera
/ J10UBe WDere iney raw iue - uemuu, uuoui
i the best comic operas on tbe stage. Llkeeverytbtng
else that Mr. Jaa. Hill is connected J
with, the ezcaralon proved a success In the
fact tbat It pleased tbe purchasers ot tickets. {
. The crowd both going and returning was as
orderly as could be desired, and there was t
nothing to mar tbe pleasure of the trip, un ,
less possibly the thought of having rubbed .
against a case cf small pox while in Atlanta,
} disturbed tbe peaceful slumbers of some of .
tbe passengers on their return trip.
JUDGE COTHRAN. jj

tingolabed Citizen la Nearly Ended.
Tbe news .from New York in reference to t
the condition of Judge Cot bran Is not encour- c

best efforts of tbe uiost skillful physicians.
Tbe condition of Judge Cotbran Is a sad one ,
indeed. Having risen to the highest position .
In tbe law, and having for years enjoyed a lu
cratlve business, surrounded by loving ,
friends It Is a sorrowful faot that he should be ,
stricken down at tbe zenith of bis prosperity c
and suocess. at a time when it appeared thai ,
be bad many years of usefulness In store for .
him. We bavo never been able to understand .

WEST END.
Happening* and Incident* of a Week
Aroiuiu ine l/ii.y.
The Southern railroad will give during Gala
Week In Charleston a low-rate round trip
ticket to that historic city.
Thanksgiving day was spent as is usual by
aur people lu many ways. Some staytog at
liome, some (especially the young men) with
sun and dog. in the fields and woods, a few
;ook advantage of the excursion and went
>ver to Atlanta. The day wus cold, rainy,
ind somber, Just the day for staying beside a
food fire, and being heartily thankful for
hat blessing, and for a retrospect of the
welve months Just past. Months fraught
vlth sorrows and smile*, with good and evil,
>ut on the whole months, each day of which
>rought blessings, often times we are sorry to
ay not appreciated. Our people most ceralnly
had much cause to return heartfelt
hanks to Him whose mercy and goodness
lad guarded them from tbe many ills and
nlsfortnnes that have been in the dlspeusaion
of Providence, the lot of hundreds and
housands of our fellow creatures In this and
?ther lands. May we each year have as
nany blessings as those of tbe one Just end
sd.
Miss Mamie Leo has returned from a short
itny with her cousin Mrs. Hawes in Atlanta.
Miss Janie Quarles Is in the Gale City visitng
her aunt Mrs. J. H. Walker.
Miss Alicia Hayne is the charming guest of
ler friend Miss Mamio Lee. Miss Hayne
irrived Monday afternoon.
Notwithstanding the cry of "bard times,"
very day sees some improvement In our
ilty. New houses going up, and the city
teadily growing in size and population. The
iry of "hard times" has become a habit with
nany, and It is heard year after year, it seems
o us that one year brings us Just about
be same as another. If we have much moniy
it is quickly, and often timesunjudiclously
ipent, 01 on the other band we are by necesilty
forced to economise, the little goes much
urtber,and In the long run, we are Just as
lappy, and have perhaps learned a valuable
es*on or too, and in that school of experi
ince where lessons once learned are seldom
orgotteu. Lets don't be shouting bard times
fear after year.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
&sl Friday night the oyster supper given by
be ladles oi the Methodist church netted
bem a very neat sum of money.
Invitations are out for the marriage of Miss
rlalvlna F. Chandler and Mr. Thomas Miller
tlorris, Wednesday evening, Deoember 8,
it 1:30 o'clock, Saint James Methodist church.
Lugusla, Ga. Miss Chandler has visited this
ity several times, being the guest of her
riend Miss Lily Templetoo. She hau many
[ lends In this place.
Mr. J. A. Allen took last week off duty and
pent the time with the home people. He
las gone on the road again.
Mr. M. T. Coleman 1h off again with his
hoe samples. He left Monday afternoon for
Jbester the first point on a three week's trip.
Dr. F. E. Harrison left Sunday afternoon
or New York city. Dr. Harrison goes to see
udge J. 8. Cothran, who Is still quite ill. It
s hoped thai ere this there has been a change
or the better in Judge Cothran's condition.
L ist Sunday morning was the time chosen
>y the members of the Methodist church of
his city to give a name to their church. A
hurch conlerence was held immediately
.Iter th6 morning services and a number of
tames were suggested. The result?no name
?as chosen, and another effort must be made
o select a suitable name, and one satlsfacory
to the majority of the members of the
ihurcb. These, we think, were the names
>roposed, "St. Paul's," "Main Street Metholist
Church," "Central Methodist," "First
rtetbodlst," and "Grace Church."
"Mr. Jededlab Bobbin's Snlgln Sknle." The
intertalnment that was to be given under the
lUsplces of the ladles of the Presbyterian
ihurcb has been indefinitely postponed.

CLERK BULLOCK,
?
Note ol Some of (lie Thing* wh
are Being Raid of Him.'
Various exaggerated stories and many \
rumors have gone abroad as to the reeen
flclal conduct of Col. \V. K. Bullock, Cler
the Court.
The lacts connected with this unfortui
affair, concern a public officer and as e
lUC puuuv; UIO CUUUCU IU liUUW tuo inui
nearly as we can get them.
Mr. Bullock appeared on the political sc
with the advent of the Reform movem
and an a Tillmanlte, superseded his /or
employer, Mr. T. L. Moore, as Clerk of
Court In 1892. In 1896 Le was re-elected to
office by a flattering vote over two popi
competitors.
Exagerated reports as to the pension mo
originated, and the report weut abroad I
be was several hundred dollars short on
account.
This being talked about another rui
quickly went abroad to the effect that he
short with the money that came into
hands as Clerk of the Court.
About this time he sold some witness t
eta.
Some of these tickets were presented
Treasurer Blake for payment, and he al
ward referred the matter to Supervisor J<
Lyon.
A question as to their validity arose.
Although the seal and the signature of
Clerk were undoubted. Supervisor Lyon
not think the name of Judge Buchanan
In the handwriting of the Presiding Jut
and so he notified the Treasurer that he cc
not, until the doubt was removed, give hi
check for the witness tickets.
But, to be sure that he was right, Supe
sor Lyon sent several tickets to Judge Be
auan asking if the signatures were genu
The Judge replied that one was genuine, i
that the others were not in his bandwriti
Mr. Jones Miller, the foreman of the en
Jury, will turnover the papers and such i
dence a& he may have, to his successors in
flee.
As far as we know, no one knows who
sign the Judge's name to these tickets.
The amount involved is presumed to
small and it is said that for some of the t
ets the parties named will make affidt
that tbey rendered the service.
One of the reports in circulation agal
Clerk Bullock is to the effect that he has
compi'ed with the law which requires I
to furnish to the Supervisor a statem
within ten days after adjournment ol Cc
showing an itemized account of the wltnee
and Jurors, and other court costs.
However Mr. Bullock may fare,
public has lost nothing. Only a sn
amount Is known to be involved. Hav
given ampie aecurity lor me iauniui per
mance of bis official trusts Mr. Bulkx
bondsmen will cheerfully stand between t
and tbe people.
Mr. Bullock bas employed Messrs. Uray<
Graydon to conduct his defense, and
believe that they regard tbe matter of sd
consequence, except that he has been pla
in a position to be tbe subject of unkind
marks.
Under the circumstances too much can
be said for the fidelity and watcbfulnesi
Treasurer Blake and Supervisor Lyon. Al
vllle never had truer or better officers. T
discbarge every duty faithfully, consc
tlously and Intelligently. Their record is
honor to tbe proud history of aooanty wt
has stood so fair for a hundred years, and
tri^t that Mr. Bullock will at the proper t
be able to make It appear that be has
been guilty of wrong-dolDg. His efflcle
and his courtesy as Assistant Clerk for CI
T. L. Moore made him many friends,
when he espoused tbe oause of Tillman
went Into office triumphantly against all
position.
While there can be no doubt that then
some ground for at least a part of tbe I
about him, yet there can be no doubt that
Bullock:has not acted half as badly as tbe
ports would have him to have done.
His Irritating and unguarded speech,
perhaps something to do with an exist
sentiment wbiob may savor too much
persecution.
Clerk Ballock'u Statement.
In answer to all the matters pertaining
tbe above offlolal matters, Clerk Bull
makes the following statement:
Editor PresB and Banner:
In Justice to both myself and tbe peopl
Abbeville County, 1 wlBh, through tbe

were wrong. I could not pay a pensloi
one penson when the roll said it belongei
another.
I immediately set to work to regulate
matter, and now that I have succeeded I
vlnddtrate my actions.
