f The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, 8. C. CIT-Publlshed every Wednesday at 52 i year In advance. Wednesday, May 31,1899. L. L. Guflio. Lemuel L. Guflln, formerly of Abbeville died at Coosaw, In this State, May 25th, age< fifty-five years. At one time be was a leading figure In pol ltlcs In this County, and his word was lan with his followers. He was County Chairman of the Republlcar party, whose members then, as now, wai composed of negroes and a Jew white men who were expecting office. In reconstruction days the Guffins were well provided wltl office, and they were all-powerlul in the ap nnlntmpnt of otherR. The Guffln family bad lived Id this commu nlty for a hundred years, aud the old home stead bad descended to succeeding genera Hons, until it Anally went out of tbe bandi of the family at a comparatively late day. Tbe Guffin family bad lived In peace wlti tbeir neghbora from their earliest settlemen in Abbeville, until tbe changed condition when tbe young generation then on tbe sceni of action, went into politics. This act alien ated former friends and neighbors of the fam ily. The negroes stuck to them with fldellt: and whatever L. L. Guffin wanted for himsel was given to him, and those whom he sough LU BUI up wore BCb up. No man ever ruled any people more abso lutely thau be ruled tbe negroes, and wblli the wblte people turned against him, he wai true to his new political associates. He possessed, in a remarkable degree, politi cal sagacity. His power of controlling till followers and his ability for quieting opposl tlon, was notable. In reconstruction days be was elected to thi office pf Probate Judge. His brother, L. P Guffln, was elected Sheriff. L. L. Guffir at one time was a member of the Leg lslature, and one of the bills whk'i he wai Instrumental in passing was tbe election o new trustees for the Lethe School, and whlci would make him treasurer of tbe institution Except for tbe fact that there was at thai juncture, a diflerence between him and Jerrj Hollinshead, who was then Senator, h< would have been treasurer of that old institu tlon which had dispensed its blessings to tb( poor for a hundred years. Senator HoIIIdb t head at that time had tbe ear of Governoi Scott, and bis Influence with him was such ai to lDduce him to veto the bill. And thus 11 was the scheme was defeated. In 1876 the rule of the negroes was over thrown, aod the Gufflns were no lODger e power. Their Influence was gone. And be cause of their political course their frlendf among the-wbltes were few, and their frlendf among the negroes were powerless to help them. ? None of the Guffihs remain In Abbeville County. They sought homes iD new fields, L. L. Guffln, went west for a time and set up a big business, bat In the course of time mls< fortune came to ll. For several years he has lived on the coasl in the quiet pursuits of life. A fair and Impartial history of the duffle family wotild read like a novel. In It are many points upon which a readable story might be written. In the recital of that bis \AJiy t'UUlU UO 1UUUU 1CBOUUB IUI tue ^UlUOUW of future generations. The family for a century had been undei the tongue of good repqrt, enjoying the friend' ship and goodwill of all. But wben ttoe allurements of office presented themselves the old association* were Interrupted, and a new alignment was made. Tbe bitterness that existed and the bad feeling that resulted from tbe change of affairs, made tbe line of demarcation perfect, and distinct. In the trying times under Radical rule, as In all otber great exoltements, there are always men, from design, or from conscientious motives, under a misapprehension of their true Interests, who fall into error from which tbey suffer In after years. * ' Until tbe new order of things came aboul the Gufflns were unknown in politics. Tbey suddenly rose to great power and influence. And for a short time tbey played an important part in politics. But tbe time soon came wben tbeir influence had departed. They disappeared from office. One of them met sud rtnn rtf?Ath rinrlnir n onmo nf hilllarrls. Thp other moved away. Tbe place which had known the Gaffin family since the organlzatloo ot the County, knows them no more, Except In history or tradition no trace or remembranoe of the family remain. The Subject Being: Bricks. While there is no universal standard foi tbe size of a brick, yet we believe it is true that different localities, or different cities, have standards which govern tbe people in their contracts in their respective cities. It would not be interesting, if we knew, tc state tbe differences in standard bricks. Bui at Abbeville the standard has been a brick ol size that would contain not more than eighteen brick to the cublo foot. A brick should be, when burnt, not less than 2%Inches thick so that four courses of brick. Including the mortar, will measure one perpendicular fool of wall. When we speak of a cord of wood, we mean 128 cubic Inches, which may or may not be out and put into a pile 4x4?8 feet. And sc wuen we spe&K or a tnousand DricK, we rneac brick enoogb to make 06 and 8-18ths cubit feet. i It matters cot, however, what length the wood may be so that the necessary square feet may be there; but with brick the mattei may be quite different. For Instance: If tht brick are hauled by the counted thousand any shortage In the size of the briok will In crease tbe cost of hauling the necessary cubic feet. If the brick mason puts them in tb< wall by tbe counted thousand, bis pay will b< increased. For each additional joint in the wall, tbe oost of water and sand will be in creased. It will thus be seen that a brick, which li below the standard in size Is worth compara' tlvely little. It has been the custom for so long a time a Abbeville to have only tbe standard size o brick offered, that tbe recent lnnovotlon wltt tbln bricks was unexpected, and places tb< builder at a great disadvantage. He mui either pay ten or twelve per cent, too muct or be to tbe trouble of resisting tbe lmposl tlon. Another disadvantage arising from irregu larslze ol bricks lies In ibe fact that thej cannot be used In tbe same wall with stand ard size brick. This newspaper has spoken of tbe habli which some people have of selling wooc which is sbort In measurement, and now w< add our protest against the sin of gouging It In tbe matter of mud. Old held pines anc mud are the cheapest things in all this coun try, and we see no good reason why honesi measure In eacb should not be given. The lfampton Home. Gen.

It Is apparent that the American army now In tbe Island of Luzon is not or sufficient numbers to prosecute the war as successfuly as could be,wished. A larger force may be necessary. ; In the Confederate war the United States t had experience to prove that an army of oe. cupation required great numbers than an army ot active aggressive warfare. ' The Confederates captured prisoners who were parolled because they could not defend them from recapture. ,The United States army garrisoned pyery city tbattbey capt ured, and to garrison cities' forts and harbors required soldiers. , During the last year of the war, Confederate I soldiers boasted that even If the great armies were captured, the war would be kept up by . KnohiiQoborc Anli them werfl neoDle who 7 believed that a sj'Ftem of bushwhacking would annoy and disturb the Union lorces to j > a degree scarcely less perplexing than were b Lee's and Johnson's armies. When the war broke out Southerners adi vanced the idea that they could buy the guns 1 of the Northern soldier. > It was confidently, said that the Union army would die like 6heep when they reach* ed the low lands of the coast. ' When Beast Butler took New Orleans It was . predloted that yellow fever would do the i work for the Union soldiers that might be quartered there. 1 But all these predictions of evil to the t Union army, and, Incidentally, of benefit to , us, failed. e The weather affected the Southern and * Northern soldier alike. ! Joe Wheeler spoke from his war experience r at San Juan Hill, when he said that the f weather was not worse for the American l army than it was for the Spanish legions. When the Confederate war was over, the - talk of "bushwhacking" was beard no more. 9 If experience in the past Is worth anything, 8 a good force will be required tcwhlp and hold Luzon. When the rebel army has been dls banded, the guerrilla warfare will be found to * be a myth. Defeats and retreats are demoralizing to an army. An army tbat 1b often defeated can be i held together, bat tbere Is that Jack of oonfl dence and loyalty that is necessary to keep ' up lighting after the main army has been - broken or disorganized. s Of course, at the close of every war there ' area number of restless spirits when freed > from restraints tbat Indulge in lawless actB; but their lawless acts are, as a rule, directed t> against those who are unable to defend them' selves, and not against the superior numbers > of any army. These marauders might rob the citizen or ) destroy bis property, but they would shun - the presence of soldiers. r The United States will conquer Luzon, and > those of our fellow-citizens wbo would pret vegt the effusion of blood should uphold the arm of the government, and cease to losplre delusive hopes In the hearts of the struggling L Filipino. No matter what their sympathies may be, > candor and honesty of speech, should not 1 mislead the forlorn hope. ? i New Cotlon Mills. Anderson Is to have two new cotton mills. iseuon nas given i/upi. vbrio iuo wu?av> to build a big mill la that town. A mill with a million and a half a capital ' has Just been chartered for Columbia. Mr. L. W. Parker, of Greenville, is in the manufacturing centres ol the East, making 1 arrangements to double his mill. The annex to the Abbeville Cotton Mill is a big thing, and is nearly finished. 1 Besides these new mills and these enlargements of old ones, there are maDy others in this State in process of building or in organization. Almost any old dead town that can put ten 1 per cent, of its entire property Into a cotton mill, it seems to us, is building mills. The price of iron and all building material has increased greatly during the year. 1 The wisdom of the Northern friends of the Abbevll'e Cotton Mill In pressing forward the work last Winter, 1b now apparent. The cost 1 of building a mill today is greater than it was last Winter, when double prloe had to be | given for bricks. The Belton Mill was in luck last week. The ' agent of a large mill waB here to make a contract for furnishing lumber for the Belton ' Mill. He concluded the trade witji Captain Csgle, the contractor, returned to bis hotel, and found a telegram, raising the prloe one .iniior nor ihnnuind. It came In time to be 1 too late.' And so It was tbe Bel ton Mill will save big money. i ~ * * Paying (he Cubans. The $11,000,000 which tbe American authorl. ties appropriated for the benefit of the Cuban soldiers seems to be going abegglng. On Ibe first day that the paymaster opened bis office In Havana, only one negro applied for a pro rata share, $75. It was ascertained that he was not entitled to It, and he went away a ' moneyless man. Last Sunday 111 applicants for money ap, peared. Thirty-five were given $75 each. i The condition of payment is disbandment and surrender of arms. > Tbe opinion Is prevalent that there has < been great fraud in tbe preparation of tbe f lists. And another reason for tbe small number > of applicants is the fact that it was not generi ally known when tbe distribution would > take plaoe. I There will be plenty of applicants a little later on. 1 ???? i Tbe Seaboard Air Line. i Columbia Is In the throes of a railroad deal, i and Columbians are variously afiected. As we understand, all citizens of Columbia i want tbe road, which the 8eaboard is build* ! lng from Cheraw, to land in Columbia, while r Capt. Bunch McBee is holding over tbem > some sort of a threat or suggestion that that enterprising railway wbich in tbe past tore up - its track to a cotton mill wblob It Induced to > locate on its line, might be diverted to some ' little way station, thus saving or shortening > tbe distance some seven miles. > The citizens of Columbia need not doubt - that the Seaboard will enter the city. Tbe Oil Mill. ^ Tbe Abbeville Oil Mill authorities are makf lng Improvements in tbe grounds, and the lumber Is on the place ready for tbe contractors to put up much additional house-room. All that portion of our citizens who pass that way will thank the Oil Mill Company, of wbich Mr. J. Allen Smith Is president, for filling up tbe great ditch or gulley which was so near to the sidewalk and which was so dangerous to pedestrians that might paBs that way during tbe night time, or wbo mlgbt come along its edge in day, if they were not duly sober. Mill School. , Tbe cotton mill people are working wltb . commendable zeal to organize a Sunday ^ school and to build a cbapel in which rellgcar?l/?oD mow h? hfilrl and In u?hlnh the school may be taught. The mill people are desirous of having their children attend the public school as well as the Sunday school, and if any kindly dlsj posed persons feel Inclined to help them in j their laudable efforts these good people will . appreciate the act.

Forces are dow grading this road from Anderson and Port Royal toward Abbeville wblch historic old town Is still In the front line of progress. Mr. Aug. W.
