That our readers may take a glance at
things as they appeared long ago, we make the
following notes of what tl contained Id the
issue of November 25, 185'J:
CUBA WAR? DIRK THINGS I'llEDICTED FOR
SPAIN, WHICH SEF.MS TO HAVE bern
a PROPHECY.
Speaking of tbe United States and Cuba, tbe
London Times Is quoted as Raying:
"Powerful as the American people unquestionably
are In the defence of all that belongs
to themselves, no nallOD has in them the
strength or the means to run riot in the world,
and gratify Its own lusts and caprices at the
expense of others. The tasb and dangerous
course will. If adopted, bring them Into collision
with other States besides Spain, and they
would enter into such a contest degraded In
the eyes of tbe world. Tbe conquest of Cuba
will not easily be effected by a mere band of
freebooters. But we tear that the American
government will be gradually led on to do, as
U did in the case ot Texas, what every man of
honesty condemns. Spain has still tbe moans
of destroying tbe trade of America with tbe
Mediterranean, and of inflicting tremendous >
it lowes upon it, by means of letters ot marque
jail over tbe world. We do not pretend to be
acquainted wltb tbe views of ourowogov foment
upon this subject, though ltlsevi-,
diot that tbe acquismon OI am?ua u v wn
naval power of the United States wonld be
a change which no British minister wonld
view with Indifference. Bat tbe coarse which
France may pursue Is still more obvious.
JjOqIs Napoleon bas every tndaoement to defend
the Interests of Spain. Nothing would
salt him better than espousing tbe cause of
Spain against such an antagonist. However
this may be, tbe firm and collective resolution
of the marlllne powers of Europe Is to
oppose the aggressive policy of the ..United
Tbe Savannah Georgian of the 10th of the
same month, said:
"It would really seem tbat tbe 8panlsh authorities
are bent on bringingabonttheir own
destruction. JtfBl at a time, when tbe utmost
caution, forbearance and kUfthMK 'towards
the United SUNee,ean- hardly prevent tbe
Americans ftwm ^resting tbe island from
Spain, her bewlH, demented officials are
doing their utmost to bring abont a contest
tbat must be fatal to Spanish rale."
DIVERS OTHER MATTERS. The
name of Louis Napoleon appears In
aavara I nrt.inles. He seemed to be dTlllng a big
space Id tbe public eye.
Kot In cotton was attraction attention.
Editors tben as now, gave advioe to farmers.
Notices of the discontinuance or tbepostoffice
at White Hall, a seven-pound potatoe
from Capt. T. P. Byrd or Greenwood. and a
temperance lecture made cp tbe locals. Lew
tban a column or editorial and local matter
is found In tbe paper.
TO FULFILL THE LAWS OF NATURE, AND TO
PUNISH SLOTH.
"Ben Lane" [Posey, we presume,] writes a
letter from Dunkirk, on Lake Erie. He says,
If tbe cholera Is not here It ought to be, both
to fulfill the laws of nature and to punish the
sloth of the people. He 6ays, Mr. Pierce, the
newly elected President, bss three hondred
thousand offices to give. Tbe soundness of
Northern Democracy?at all events tbd soundness
of Pierce, wbo declared that tbe abolitionists
should walk over bis dead body before
tbey assailed tbe South?gives assurance
of this. Yet let us not be bullied. Abolitionism
is not dead butsleepetb.
PROHIBITION AND TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.
"A. memberof the town ^council" says: Jn
18.'iS J ODD A. MDumr, r rau ti uu aiauiiu, u wu u
C. KlngBmore, James A. Wright and Samuel
Branch were elected members of tbe towD
council. Tbey refused to license tbe sale ot
liquor. Disgraceful scenes followed, wblcb
caused counoll to Issue licence. In ISIS, J. F.
Livings too, David Lesly, Augustus Hamilton,
A. F. Posey and Isaac Branch were elected
members of council. They refused license,
and Indicted all violators of the law which
came to tbelr notice. Sobriety characterized
tbe conduct of the citizens for two years.
[Note by Editor of Press and Banner: Dr.
Isaac Branch in 1857 organized a Lodge of the
Sons of Temperance in Due West, after delivering
a stlrrlDg address on temperance and
the evils of drink.]
Queen Isabella of Spain gave 8100.000 to
earthquake sufferers at Santlxgo de Cuba.
James W. Porter and Allss Alary Aun Elizabeth
Leroy were married.
Rev. Jasper H. Glover and Miss F. Lavinla,
daughter of Dr. Branch, of Abbeville, S. C.,
were married at Manltee, In Florida.

ALL LOTS WEBE COBS EE LOTS.
S.McQowan, Isaac Branch, H. A. Jones,
John Mcllwaln, H.8. Kerr and William Hill,
being -anxious for the Improvement and
welfare of Abbeville village, and desirous of
stimulating a spirit of improvement, offer at
private sale about twenty lots" on "Magazine
Field." Bald land was so laid off that all lots
were "corner lots."
STRANGE RAILROAD SCHEDULE ? THE MISFORTUNE
WHICH CAUSED IT.
T. D. Davis, agent, gives notice that paweogera
on the Greenville and Colombia.-railroad'
will be taken from Cedar creek, west' bank<of
Broad river at Alston, to Columbia' by boats.
Regular trains to Newberry, Cofceebury apd
Intermediate stations. Elver navtgatlon^perlectlysafe.
\
rNnta h? ni'.tnr of PrMaaod Banner: The
(*. A C. road was finished to thenelghborbood
of Hodges, when a great frenbet In tbe Saluda
' river did mncb damage to tbe track between
Alston and Columbia?washing away tbe
bridge at Alston, all tbe treaties and much of
tbetraok between tbereand Colombia. Heavy
rains Tel] on tbettth of August, and tbe river
was fuller tban It was ever kuowa before or
since. A gin boose floated down tbe river,
straek a pier of tbe railroad bridge, and
swept it away. Superintendent Brown wltb
tbree others seoured a balteaa, and poshed
off in tbe river, Intending to go toCblumblri.
When well oat in tbe stream the men in tbe
boat lifted their bats and shouted a merry
good bye to those on tbe bank* who were
watching their departure. Thls was the last
that waseverseen of two of tbelr number. A
few miles down tbe river in crossing a well
known shoals the little craft rosa with tbe
waves and plunged head foremost Into tbe
trough of the raging waters. Tbe boat was
submerged and turned upside down. The
passengers struggled, each for himself, except
in case of father and son who straggled together
until tbe rather lost hope of saving bis
son and poshed blm off from blm to see bim
no more. The body of Superintendent Brown
was found down tbe river, bis arm
alone being above tbe sand. He still held to
the limb or a tree wnion oe oaa oiuoiwa u?fore
it bad been washed down. The father of
tbe loot boo reaobed the ebore after a long
struggle. Another one of tbe party clung to
the bottom of the upturned boat and landed
on an island a little above Columbia, where
he remained two or three days before he was
discovered. 3l?. George W. Syfan of our
town wae an engineer at that time, and the
water oovered tbe track in front or bim ho
that he could proceed no further. He tried to
return to Columbia but the water bad cut him
off. He was then on an island himself. The
earth beneath bis engine was washed out and
It plunged headlong into deep water. He
made a raft of cross ties and wltb difficulty
reached a place of safety. Tbe damage to the
road was not repaired until next spring,
when Mr. Syfan was ordered to haul the Iron
with which tbe Abbeville Brancb road was
built The work of laying the iron from
Hodges progressed almost as rapidly as such
work Is done today. On the 7th of July, 1853,
the last rail whs laid, and since then Abbe0
o
villehas been in railroad connection with
ttie outside world.J

In 1897 the will again appeared In oourt,after
tbe death of some of the legatees. It was necessary
for tbe court to construe the will, so
that tbe parties In Interest mlRbt know their

Up to tbe time of the oompletlon of tbe .
railroad to tblfe section, tbe 8avannab River ?
afforded tbe great line of transportation, ?
while many persons made money running ?
wagons to Augusta to carry freight or to bring c
It back, as the case mlgbt be. The Savannah t
side was tbe rlcb and Important part of tbe 1
county, while lands about the ouy and to- l
ward the Saluda were regarded as of little I
worth. J
One of the arguments favoring subscription \
to the building of tbe railroad In tbe 40's was ?
tbe great saving In sending bacon, flour and {;
ootton to markets. Tbe railroad could take ,
these things to market at greatly reduced *
prices. A man who bought oorn In those days ;
was not.regarded'as a "farmer" In the proper J
acceptation of the term. Prosperous farmers c
bad corn to sell. For a few years after the .
completion of tbe road considerable farm !
products were shipped away. Bat the tar- j
mere soon learned that the road oould bring 1
these things, as well as oarry tbem away. ;
Tbe railroads have been busily hauling to ;
this section all kinds of produce ever slnoe
the discovery.

;he prevalence of homicides and th6 habit of
jarrylng concealed weapons. A couple of
pears ago In this correspondence It wis pointid
out bow many killings bad occurred In
South Carolina. Last year tbe reoord waa
tally as bad and Jndge Benet emphasized tbe
luty of educating public sentiment against
mob a record. He pointed oat that in this
jounty since tbe last term of Court there have
jeen nine hom Icides.
Judge Benet's charge was quite long and
ieed not be glveil In fall, bat what be bad to
lay about the pistol bablt and the record or
srlme la wortb reproducing. It is here given
torn a stenographto report, kindly famished
)y Mr. W.fl. Mpcfeat:
"There oertalnly is need for some leglsatloa
looking to tbetedaotlon of tbe namoer
>f homicides that annually occur Within tbe
jorders of South Carolina. Mr. Foreman' and
gentlemen of the Jury, tbe annual report of
be Attorney General .made to tbg General
Assembly for thejlpcal year 1899 shows to 'the
irorld that, daring the previous twelve i
nonth 218 of oar fellow oltlBens were pat to 1
leatb by tbe hand of onr owq fellow citizens; ,
43 homicides In tbe'sroalt State of Sooth Car- i
Una In one year, and last year was not an i
ixceptlonal year. This is joRt about- the i
innoal quota. It is appalling to look back <
md tmnk that bo many of opr fellow citizens i
vbo were alive one year ago now Deep in t
>loody graves. It is, perhaos, still jmore i
ippalllngto look; forward and know by this <
Ime pext year an equal number will till an <
qual number of bloody) graves. Tbla may (
tartle tbe ordinary citizen, bat tbis.lsa fsct t
cblcb cannot be denied. I ought also .to add i
bat this State Is not alone In that bloody <
ecord. The, statistics show that in the t
Jolted States som4 twelve or thirteen tboue- i
.ud homlcldea- aftk committed every year, j
?rue tbe progQrgtomU'greatar In tbe Western
.nd Southem\?a|(^ Ihan tbb Northeastern i
States, and lf lttrlMiy comfort to U?|# Is also (
rue tbat our-'fraKMrUbn in South Carolina Is i
mi ?i>iuiar tMHaBt/MnnriiilAr StalM of
he South and {QtffWfifl; 'Bat, genfiiemen, In
omparfrtonwttbttae numberor homicides In
>tber civilized Christian countries, tor lntance
Germany, Britain and France the
mmber of homicides In Sooth Carolina
bonld not exceed twenty-five or thirty anmally.
Compared with come countries
bonld not exceed flfte?o. and yet Richland
tonnty at thlB term of Conrt displays tbe
iloody record of nine.bomloldes committed
lnoe tbe laat term of tbe Court?since lam
November. Should not these Awls, gentleaen,
give as pause and lndnca as to Gee if
omeihlDg cannot be done to stop or check to
ome extent this fearful calendar of murder
nd manslaughter? I am aware, Mr. Fore an,
and gentlemen, while homicides are far
oo numerous they Include very few cases of
lelnous murder, very few caBen of mnrder for
obbery's sake, for Instance, or for revenge,
,nd very few of these cold blooded cases of '
K>lsonlng and such murders wblch const1'

aree measure utterly unnecessary, and
prlng from false notions of manhood and
iravery, and from mistaken views of sell-deence.
They are tbe result of encounters In
rblch both men are armed?frequently In
vblch one Is armed and supposes the other to
ie armed. I say tbat tbey are needlessly
lumeroua. We are not more hot-tempered
ban otber people, nor more sudden or quick
n a quarrel tban our forefathers. Tbe
ecords of tbe Courts of fifty years ago show
bat tbe crime of bomlclde was much rarer In
his state tbat it now is. Your forefathers
fere men of like passions with yourselves,
.'be Englishman, tbe German or the Frenchnan
is'neither milder mannered nor lesa
>uernacious tban tbe American.
What Is tbe cause, gentlemen, of this
ixtraordlnay number of homicides? I am
ure each one of you can assign certainly as
ine cause the deplorable custom of carrying
)istols, a custom carried to suoh an extent
bat our State may be regarded an armed
amp In times of peace. Our young men and
toys, black and white, rioh and poor, seem to
blnk tbat their outfit is not complete witbluta
pistol; some of onr older men sbow a
md example, and I regret to say some pcbllo
ifflolals have on occasions been fonnd armed
n violation of the law. Pistols are carried,
lot as a protection at night In some lonely
oad or In some remote part of tbe country
luring tbe day, or over some dangerous i
lelgbborhood, but at publlo meetings, on the
treets. at social gatherings, even at dances,
ven at dally labor and following tbe plough,
nd, I add. also even at cburon and prayer
nesting; and aa for those gathering! known aa t
be negroes' hot auppera, la there ever a hot i
upper without a cold corpae? The negro e
rill Imitate tbe white man and imitate him t
aore successfully In low vices and his crimes t
han In his virtues. s
Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, It wonld be t
n interesting experiment If tbe Court were, c
ttbls moment, to order tbe sheriff and bla a
alilffs to search tbe pocketa of till In this f
lourt. House now and see bow many piatols h
rill be found carried on the person concealed, p
ven In the temple of Justice. t
Gentleman, as sureiy as this lamentable |
labit continues, ho surely will two or three c
mndred of your fellow oltizena annually All r
intlmely graves, tbe viotlma of tbe pistol j
iablt. It la a fearful price to pay for tbe p
rivllege of carrying aims, it la not only c
nlawful to carry arms concealed upon the c
eraon, but It la unchristian, uncivilized, and v
till more should the appeal be made to tbe e
outb of the country who carry piatola, that b
L Is unmanly and cowardly and altogether a
necessary in a olvllized community. It o
auaes our young men, no dpubt, to bold v
uman life very obeap aud it causes them ?
lso to have false Ideas of bravery and true tl
janllneHS. and It haa lnfuaed In tbe public tl
Hind wrong and vicious views of the right of a
elf-defence.
Gentleman of the grand Jury, bow many tl
orpsesof men slain by the pistol-carrying- a
omlcide have been searched In vain for the ii
Istol, and yet. the slayers have put up tbelr n
lea of self-defence, and Juries have acquitted a
bem on that plea, because, forsooth, the ri
efendant, the man-slayer, testified that c
rhen be shot, bis victim bad put bis band to s
Is blp-pooket, or was about to place It there, G
nd he was Induced to believe by that act t<
bat be bad a pistol and was about to draw |(
I ? He presumed. In other words, that he ci
?as In danger, and acted, as be olalmed, in
elf-defence. If that presumption Is to be rearded
by petit Jaries must we not create
nother presumption, in fact, to meet It, tbat
be man who carries a pistol habitually must *
e presumed to have murder in his heart,
da Id a dangerous man to the peace of the d
ommunlty? When a bloodguiity man is
et free"by the verdict of a Jury then the
>ablio, through the press, condemns the
ury; speak of miscarriage of Justice; that
bejuryt^flem is a failure, and the like, not
eflecting tbat thejuryis only carrying into 1
ffeot the public's own mistaken view and
den of self-defence. Water does not rise l
,bo*alt8 level. A petit Jury Is part of the J
>eOpiHt HUU II 10 IJOl, wiser Ul untm i>imu mo g
leopftfrom whom It Is drawn by lot. It Is I
utile to lay tbe blame at the door of the
ury or the system of trial by Jury. Let It 1
? also at the door of all who are guilty of
arrylng pistols concealed upon their persons.
would not belittle the right of self-defence,
jt . ia a great right: It is a QoU-given right
ecogblzed by the law of our land, but It Is i
Totally misunderstood and most rashly and
eokleialy exercised, until the blood of buniredaofmen
cries aloud from hundreds ol f
raves for tbe vengeance which the Courts 1
iave denied them.
Two hundred and forty-three men sleugbered
in Booth Carolina last year and bow
nany convloledV Ninety-seven! In other
rords. one honored and forty-four men,
rlth their fellows' blood on tbelr bands, go
ree, pronounced not guilty. There may |iei r
ew of these reported oases that have not yet teen
tried, but 1 am speaking In round rrOm- b
ters. In round nnmbera tbe faot stares ns In t
be faoe that only one of every three men I
vho have been put In the dook charged with t
nurder, has been oonvloted either of murder g
>r manslaughter. j.
Gentleman, if It Is always, or nearly always, 1
be Intending murderer who la fortunately
tilled by the man who Is acting In self-de- '
ence, will not tbe race of mnrderera soon be
ixtermlnated In this State at tbe rate of two
innared odd a year ? To put that question la
o show tbe reductlo absurdam.
I have said that self-defenoe ip a aacred
'ight, but it la not. more saored sarely than
inman life, and it la In behalf of the sanctity
if human life that I have been led to i&eke
tbe remarks I havejaat made. Ia ttaareno

again and again endeavored to pass laws,
and have passed a variety of laws, but they
are dead letters, and a dead letter law Is it- !
self a teacher of lawlessness, and unpunished
violation of law eats line a cancer Into tbe
body politic. Are we to confess our Inability
to take hold of this frightful evil and to tome
extent moderate It? This Is a land of churches,
Sunday-schools, and schools and colleges,
of young men's Christian associations, and i
all tbe means and appliances for Christian c
[religion in all varieties and forms, perhaps
to a greater extent than any other civilized i
land, and yet in this year of 1900 our record I
to-day cannot compare for a moment with I
tbe record ol ancient Egypt of three thousand 1
yoaraago, for it was then tbe boast of E*ypt '
that "in times of peace none of our citizens
carry arms."
And here in the year 1900 I am safe in say- c
lng that tbe majority of tbe youth of onr a
country carry arms. No doubt there Is a
difficulty in the wav of our legislation?our I
Constitution?tbe Federal Constitution?sec- f
ores to tbe citizen tbe right to carry arms,
but It surely cannot be contended that tbe
little, deviilsb pocket pistol, the hip pocket.
tKa Artot nnnirat tho uoat nnnlrof nlatnl trso J
Id tbe contemplation of the fraroera of tbe
Constitution when they seoured to tbe citizen ,
tbe right to carry arms. Tbeae wlae fathers
or the Kepubllo never Intended to leave as a
legacy to posterity bo bloody a curse. That
constitutional provision bad relation only to
tbe ebaracter of arms tben carried by tbe ~
soldiers in defence of tbeir country and the
huntsmen, on tbe plain?muskets, rlflpe, i
swords, calvary pistols, carried, as brave men I
carry tbeir arms, openIV. Tbe diabolical I
habitror carrying concealed deadly weapons I
bad not yet grown into ezlstanoe. It was to I
preserve tbe right to defend home,property, j
peraon and family, and to defend the country,
and the right to bunt same.
>It waa for this purpose and similar purposes
that tbe constitutional provision was inserted.
He will bea wise man and a benefactor
to his State who can suggest to tbe Leglsia- H
ture some law that can grapple with this evil
or reduce it. There is no doubt that a law c<
might be framed making It a helnoos and
seriously punishable offence to manufacture,
tell or buy or use or possess a-plstoU under a C
sertain size, and tbe size might be madesaoh
hat it would be impossible to oononl it upon
tbe person, and thus pat a stop In a large .
measure to the carrying .of'concealed deadly .
weapons. If something like tUV'cannot be
lone, tben all thatisleft for OS to do la to edo- 11
:ate public opinion, to educate the minds of M
be Juries and to banish from the tabids of,
be youth of the country and tbe men of the '
jountry tbe diseased notions of selfdefenoe,
ind thus we may to some extent reduee tbe
lumber of homicides and rid our land of tbls
iwful curse.
I have already referred to the fact tt^it T
lometlmes Juries are condemned for wbat are Ji
mpposed to be miscarriages of Justice and a _
[allure to do wbat waa expected. The Jury
lystem has been very much discussed of late T
.brougbout the State, and In some parts Of A
the State has been condemned as being not as
luccessful as It ought to be, and It. baa been
>ven pronounced a failure. In . my
Dplnlon such condemnation Is altogethjr
undeserved. Our Jury law, oar ays- ,
,em of trial by Jury, Is good If only carried Ina
effect. Our statutes require that the Jury
jommissloners shall choose bo many names -
n their respective counties, men well quail* A

md of good moral character; there Is no
sounty In this State that cannot furnish-* !:

rhe remeny for that la to Impeach the jury n
