An examination of the first copy of the Independent Press In which dttte is April 8.185(J, affords lessons In the affairs of human ,'lfe. This town had about one thousand wblte population at that time, very few of whom survive. ; All the places of business have disappeared, 1 ami others have taken their places. Except Hon. W. H. Parker, no member of the Abbeville Bar of that date is now living. The preachers and teachers of that day are no longer with us. Except, Hon. T. B. Crews, of the Laurensvide Herald, and the editor of the Abbeville Press and Banner, all the editors, and every printer, has gone to his reward. Mr. George W. Syfan, who was engineer, lingers with us far on the outports of time. Mr. E. Roche, who was a member of the firm of Roche & Christian In the shoe busl- ' ness Is still with us. Dr. J. W. \V.

John Gray, the talented Scotchman, who * was his partner, is In Columbia, full of vital > Ity. He has fought the battle of life with ' varying success and reverses. J W. C. Moore, whose looks are frosted by the 1 pears that have passed, was then a member 8 if the firm of Moore & Quaife, which was at F that time one of tbe most enterprising and 1 most prosperous firms in town, was then in d tils prime, with a bright future In the pros- v pective. ? His partner. C. F. Quaife, from physical S jauses, was unable for service In the army. '' He lfft Abbeville during the war, and never v returned. A A. Williams, known of all men here ibout, was the owner of tbe New York Store, ' ma bad a large run of custom. In the course E >f time his business failed, and his health 11 was Impaired. He lingered for a short time a ifter the war, when the grave closed over b aim. c In 1869 H. S. Kerr was one of the big business firms. He established the first grocery t rtore in Abbeville. He was at different times, ? printer, editor, merchant. Before be died re- a turned to tbe printing business, and made F ils living setting type. ?

The tradition runs something like w bis: A lady at Abbeville was put aboard the as >ack, with lnstructiono to let ner off at Cal- a iouu's Mill. The stage started off on its Ci ourney to Washington. Georgia. When it lc tauled up at Calhoun's Mills, post office some fe blrteen miles on tbe way to Washington, the ai tage door was opened, and out came tbe oi ady, grievously provoked. She was In a al age at the action of tbe driver In bringing to ler that far when she wanted to go only as dl nr as John A. Calhoun's saw mill, about two ai ntles from Abbeville. She had remained w Hunt while the stage was hurried past tbe al loor at which she desired to stop. She was w .Muiun mllnsiinv from thn rfpKfInntlnn nl OI ler Journey. * bi Capt. Rogers, at whose store the stage made si ts regular stops, asked her If she bad called h ipou the driver to let her get off. She satd, tl No; I did not." Captain Rogers then asked vi phy she allowed him to orlng her on to that ilace without protest. She replied with a M eeiing of Indignation: "Why, Captain tl logers, I do not speak to stage drivers." That ady afterward married a bricklayer of very tl mmble pretensions, and their deaths excited tt rery little Interest In the provisions of their tt pills. n Edmund Cobb was owner of the Marshall Si louse. n: Edmund Cobb and J.

The notice said : I 'Jt presents that uulon of beauty and conven | lence?durability and finish?which forms the 1 ue plus ultrr of artistic skill." Among the extracts are to be found an account of the experiments of an eminent physician of London to "test correctness of the common opinon that the present great rate of sreed of an express train has an injurious effect upon the mind." We now can account for the peculiar inlnds of some people. They have been traveling on the freight train of today. The paper had eleven columns of advertisements. 1 CHANGE OF YENUE. Vol Safe for Crawford to go to Trial 1 is n City Where Opposition to the DiHpenttary Ih mo Ntronic ? Courts luefTcclive Where Liqnor Coustables are Concerned. Special to the Greenville Dally News. Columbia, 3. C? April 10?Judge WattR tolay, after argument, granted Constable Craw ord, who killed Mrs. Stuart bere, a change )f venue and let the case go to Kershaw couu,y. The delence alleged that it could not get i lair trial here and put up altogether six'.een iffldavits to the effect that a fair trial could 1 lot be bad here. The affidavits were from Walter N. Klrkand. Secretary of State Cooper, Commissionsrs Vance and Barnett, Captain of the Penientlary Guard Westtlold, John B. Lack, hipping clerk of the dispensary, M. Stevens, >f (iafl'uey, J. Ci. Cooley and J. C. Dorn, who cere under indictment with Crawford, John r. Duncan, H. P. Harris and Sheriff McCravy. The whole of Crawford's case is set forth In lis affidavit which was in substance that be loesn't believe that be can gel a fair and lmmrtial trial and asks that the case be sent to mother county. But lor the protection given ilm and the other constables by the sheriff md his deputies, the mayor and the policenen and the military, be believes be would iave been lynched. The shooting of Mrs. Stuart has greatly Intensified tbe deep feeing heretofore existing against the constables, .'be feeling had been further Intensified by he publication of tbe articles in Tbe State nH fhrt fcnnfhfirn (IhHHf.lfln Afivnpjitft. Thn leople generally In sympathy with the viola- i Ion of law and be alleges that defendants in ; llspensary cases have been acquitted, not- < srlthstandlng the positive evidence ol their i ullt given against them by the constables. < :as^8 have been disposed of even when de- , endants themselves admitted facts which j ?ere in violation of the law. Merchants and < eputable cltlzeos had admitted also, he was i formed, that the constables could not get a i air trial In Columbia but they declined to i ake affidavits because they feared it would Jure th m in their business. Finally he lieges that If he should return to Columbia ils life would be in Jeopardy even though he , ame to stand trial. ' This completes the affidavits of the side of , be defendant, but Mr. Thomas read extracts rom the local and editorial columns of The ' itate which he held were calculated to irejudlce public sentiment against the con- , laoles In this particular case. He also read n extract from the Christian advocate to how the same thing. Sheriff McCravy testifies that he . had been . ere frequently and or his own knowledge new there were dally and open violations of ; be dispensary law as la no other place in the late. ' The State offered thirty-six affidavits from ltizenB that the constables could get a fair rial here and that there was no reason for change of venue. i Judge Watts then rendered his decision in , u off hand manner. He said that this was a | ery delicate matter for him to decide. Be- f ause of Its delicacy it was all the more lm- , ortant that the Issue should be squarely met , nd it was his duty to decide the issue with all f I me lniormauuu ue uuu, i Tbe motion for a change of venae was asked ( >r, be said, on two main grounds. It was j very serious thing to ohange the venue on a ( ase. It Involved a great deal of trouble and t great deal of expense. On the other hand, . tie constitution guaranteed to every man { fair and Impartial trial, and If It has been . tiown tbat such cannot be secured In thU ( Else, It was his duty to grant the change, and ? tbe contrary has been shown tbe motion 8 Qould be denied. In tbe first place It Is c Ueged tbat prejudice In this county Is so j Lroag tbat a fair and Impartial cannot be t ranted aad In the second place It is alleged aat tbis spirit of bitterness and violence was Sown by mobs which gathered in front of le magistrate's office ou the nlgnt of tbe kllng And kept the prisoners there confined f om 8 or? o'clock next morning. In reference to the sentluient here In regard 1 > constables he, said tbat he bad been here e no years ago and that his recollection was ? :at convictions bad been secured In dlspen- * iry cases. He said tbat he supposed there j ere here, like In pretty much every com- 1 lunlty, some few men who were opposed to c ay and everything connected with thu din- c ensary. Then there is another class which ? bhors and resents tbe Idea of a State con- 9 ah!D uAuri>hln?u mmi'M nrl vaffi renlrimina for ' quor and in ibis case It Is alleged that, Craw- e ird and bis fellow constables searched or 8 led to search tbe bouse of a citizen?a dwel- ? us bouse. This fact got out and moreover lat a woman bad been killed wblle this was 6 jlng on and, people, some of tbem, went r lid, tio to speak, witb indignation and v ireatened a lynching. C This, Judge Watts thought, was not surpris- 0 >g and had It not been In a citv with mllliry company and witb policemen and de f xmlned officers be bad no doubt tbat there 1 ould have been a lynching. He went on to c iy that every man is presumed to be in- 1 ocent of crime until be be proved guilty and j i the eyes of the Jaw Crawford was innocent 3d if there were threats against him as alleg1 and the feeling was Intense against blm, it _ as all the more reason why it was bis duty f i a Judge to protect him and see that be bad i lair and impartial trial. If he, as Judge, ran . rawford into danger tbat sbould not be icurred he would feel blmself guilty and he * It satisfied that all the people wanted Justice t id Justice alone. This is a city of some 25,000 < * 30,000 people and the fact that ooly 25 or 80 fidavlts were presented by tbe prosecutlen i show that a fair trial could be secured here !: Id not indicate any unanimity of feeling, ad tbe sheriff and magistrate in front of bose office tbe mobs congregated have no , fidavlts, and altogether it appears tbat aB It as only a month ago tbat there was a mob crowd crying for Crawford's life it would 3 dangerous to have the trial here, and no ifflcientshowing bad been made that there oil hppn Miio.h a decided chanee In a month's i me. He therefore granted a a change of f anue and the case Is set for Kershaw county. The court meets In Kershaw on the first [onday in June. The necessary orders for le chaDge of venue were prepared. At the conclusion of the hearing on the moon for a change of venue Mr. Nelson moved rnt Thursday of the present week be sot for ( le trial of the Meetze murder case In which a ilstrlal was entered Sunday morning. . ollcltor Thurmond said that be bad a great lany other cases that he wished to dispose of t this term of court. Otherwise he would ( ave no objection to taking up the case at this srm. Judge Walts replied that be would ot have a second bearing of tbe case at this :rm of the term court.

A few days ago It was my prlvllige to visit the dear old town of Due.West, whither I had k gone to whisper farewell to a hostoi irienuB and a dear old mother before casting my lot < in a strange land. These visits are always pleasant and bring back to memory fond recollection of the long ago. THE LOSS OF A VALUABLE MAN. On the occasion I was the guest of Rev. C. ETodd, President of the Due West Female Col. lege, and acting In line with the reputation which the dear village bears for Its entertaining propensities he spared no effort to make me feel at home and assured me of a hearty welcome. And It was a source of regret to me to find Prof. Todd's health Impaired; for his usefulness as an Instructor of the flower and hope of our country as vested In our young women, has been exemplified and we have already seen the good results of his wise and efficient management of our Female College, ind Indeed It Is a public calamity that he has to resign bis position on account of bad health, and we do not wish to disparage the successor 3f Prof. Todd, bat we do state that the community and the college have suffered the loss jf a valuable man In his reslgnatloa, and his place will be bard to All. We will always feel near ana aear to tne :olleges and the dear old town of Dae West, almost universally known as the most moral town on tbe face of tlie eartb. We enjoyed the distinction of being the only male person In the dining room that was fall of beautiful poung ladles and I felt a little pompous aver this privilege, until 1 was called upon to Jay grace, which upset me and made me feel jonslderably crestfallen and set my nervons system out to a high pitch; but I did tbe best [ could. Soon got In some good work In tbe svay ofannlbllatlng tbe well prepared viands that were before me and that Boon i^stored my nerves to normal, and "Richard was himself asaln." FAREWELL TO DUE WEST. In a word, I spent a most delightful day In Due West and shook a hearty good bye with many of my old childhood friends. [ returned home feeling better as I always do for having associated, even for a short while with a good people. On Monday morning I bid a sad farewell to bome and loved ones and boarded tbe train Tor tbe great metropolis of Georgia The trip 3 ver tbe Seaboard was void of special inoldents. We arrived about 5 o'clock P. M. a little t,eul?d tbe schedule time, and having been jut of olty ways and methods for tbe past few fears, I of course got into trouble as soo n aa I ;ot to town. THE SPIT ORDINANCE. The city fathers had jnst passed an ordlaance forbidding anyone to spit on tbe sideivalk and I being a user of tbe flltby weed anded with my month loaded with it, and iven before I enjoyed the privilege of setting ny foot on the pavement stood In tbe door vayofthecar shed and literally frescoed the ildewalk with a great puddle of tobacco Juice. cop caught me gently by the arm and warn>d me not to fall to observe tbe spit ordinance n tbe future. I took him at bis word and the jxtract of Bchnapps now Is expectorated on e .he belgln blocks as I rush from place to >laoe. The Atlanta people must have gotten his Idea from Pittsburg as that Is tbe only ilace I have ever beard of that bad a spit >rdlnance. I secured a stopping plaoe and liter cleaning up and resting awhile took in i little of the town before bed time. I met our >ld friend J. W. MagiII, an Abbeville County 1 nan. who holds an elegant position as Clerk In he Atlanta Constitution office. SOFT JOB AT BIQ PAY. We have had rain nearly every day since t >ur arrival. I have bad some amusing g hings to happen since my Btay here. Imoug other amusing incidents was an ^ ixperlence with a concern that wanted to H imploy a clerK. I was an applicant and in f be course of our conversation on the subject v ie staled that I Impressed him as the man bat be wanted. That encouraged me, and of r :ourse I had the courage to prooeed, an# of j, ourse asked the question as to how muoh alary was offered. He was quick to respond > 2.50 per woett. Of course that would Jar any c nan of a nervous temperament but I managd to conceal It In my case, and I of course to , ill appearances seemed to be glad to get such i soft snap?Just think of $2 50 per wreek and v loard only cost $6.00 per week. In my Joy and xcitementl simply exclaimed to tbe liberal c roprietor, why, if I stay here at $2.60 per b peek, In three or lour years I will get $3 or D lerhaps $1 per week, and bowed graoemlly 5 mt and told him I would see him later. There are hundreds of men here out of t mploymentand soft snaps are bard to tlnd. iut I have a number of calls to make Monday D text and think of them all,'I shall And at east one good place. b OE JEFFERSON AND KNOX MONTGOMERY, h Joe Jefferson the grand actor entertained a * >a/<trari hmiRA with seata at fancy orlces at be Grand Saturday afternoon In a Matinee nd also a second performance Saturday a ilgbt. _ I heard the great evangelist, Rev.

To tell you m if the yields of fruits and vegetables and ,e [rain on irrigated land around Holly, even If fa upoorted by affidavits, might test my reputaion for veracity. Presuming tbat my reputa- lo ion in that direction is moderately fair, I do (Q lot want to put it to tbe straining point. Sven though Mark Twain declares ''Be good ct md you will be lonely," I prefer to hold on to or he claim for truthfulness. . IBKIQATION. ^ lo "But coming back to Holly and its lrrlga* m ion interests. Several years ago Mr. Searles ot ind New York friends undertook the T( eorganizatlon ol asmall irrigation enterprise eti vbicb bad failed before Its wtork was well un- bi ler way. The/ bought it out and then con- bi :luded to enlarge Its scope on a scale com- pc nensurate with tbe advantages of tbis counry. What tbey have done deserves to rank sp isoneof the greatest enterprises of the day. m Tbey purchased about 150,000 acres of laud in vl vbat Is known as tbe Arkansas Valley of I Colorado, and tbougb it Is really tbe valley of m be Arkansas river, it bas an average eleva- ca ion of about 3,000 feet above the sea level and bi uretches out for miles In an almost unbroken ar >laln nearly as flat as tbe prairies of Texas. m Realizing tbat the safety of Irrigation de- h< lends upon an unfailing supply of water, and CI ,bat sometimes the river might be too low to N urnlsb enough to meet tbe needs of farmers, b( lolmrlnnn th? storage Mb ,uejf uewiuiiucu w iu?v<..v. eservoir system. While this Is very costly It m nsures a regular *ater supply, and thus adds be argely to the value of the land. After full of nvestlgatlon they found sotoe natural basins tl< ibove their property and, securing this land, or undertook to develop what is probably the la nost extensive reservoir system ever built n( or any private enterprise in this country or bj ibroad. Their reservoirs now cover 10,000 pt icreH of ground, and in some places there is be in extreme depth of 90 feet of water, In the sti winter time the overflow from the river and hf ,he melted Bnow from the distant mountains bi ire turned into the reservoirs, thus furnish- st ng a lull supply of water for an entire year if pt the river should be low. These reservoirs in fvlli carry a reserve supply sufficient to cover C) tflth water 180.000 acres of land one foot deep. n< i"ou can figure this out in gallons ir your ai fancy runs that way. dc On the property the company has 350 miles at it canals splendidly built and head gates and CI Jams constructed as though Intended to last w until Gabriel blows his horn.
