k!. . The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^-Published every Wednesday at S2 r year Id advance. 1 Wednesday, June 13,1900.! I?t TIiIh Official Crime? The authorities In charge of the health of the penitentiary,and presumably at war with the health of the public, are acting strangely, and so far as the medical authorities are concerned, contrary to all the known laws and usages adopted for the preservation of the public health. If a ship arrives at one of our ports with a contageous or Infectious disease aboard, not only the patient, but the whole ship and all aboard are quarrentlned. If a case of small pox breaks out In the neighborhood of a cotton mill, is not the cotton mill forthwith held out as a place of danger, and one to be avoided ? Hut right here In Columbia, In the State of South Carolina, doctors having commissions from the State of South Carolina, ask the Governor to send abroad in this land patients afflicted with the most deadly disease known to laymen or medical so-called science. They are not only poverty stricken but are unable to take care of themselves in the matter of food, clothing and medicine. The State Is asked to shirk a duty which we do not see how It can honorably avoid doing, namely: To provide for Its sick paupers. The State Is asked to 6end oul these enaaorl a fliooQCQ mnTA Hfl nCPmilR paUCUbfl tu opiUiu a v**ov?aw IMV.W ? r, ? ? and more to be dreaded than the bubonic plague. Some sufferers from the plague recover tbelr health, but the man who Is attacked by consumption makes tracks straight to the grave. The honorable and humane thing to do, Is to provide a house separated from all others, where tbe State may furnish good shelter and medical attention without endangering the liveB of Innocent citizens. Read tbe following, and believe if you can that tbe State of South Carolina has medical men so reckless of the public welfare: The State, June 12. Today Gov. McSweeney will relieve the State Prison of Ave convicts reported by the physician of the prison to be in a dying condition. Four ol tliem are in tbe last stages of cousnmption and their presence there is regarded as a menace to the lives of the others. Gov. McSweeney has been desirous of ridding the prison of these menaces for sometime, but not until yesterday did the proper papers reach his haud. Ibe pardons will be issued today, Id May lust the board of directors of the Institution adopted the following: Resolved, That the physician of the penitentiary be requested to Rt once make out a list of the hopeless consumptives now contined in the penitentiary, giving their names, the counties from which they came the terms of imprisonment and tbe crimes, committed, etc.; that the said list be at once ta hla fivnullotintr tho af\cornnr oiiH that we, tbe board of directors, hereby re questand recommend that they be al once pardoned, believing that their iurther confinement would be a menace to the health ol the prison. At the meeting a few days ago tho board adopted the following: Whereas Dr. Starkle, physician of the penitentiary, has reported to the board of directors that one Pcaro Myers is now suffering with dropsy; that his case is incurable, and that the said Pedro Myers cau live only a very short while, and whereas Dr. sturkie has recommended the said MyerR as a fit subject for executive clemency, be it Resolved by the board of directors, That they request his excellency, the governor, to pardon tbe said Pedro Myers at once. Dr. Sturkle yesterday filled the following report with the governor: Dear Sir: In pursuance of a resolution pasBed by tbe honorable board of directors of tbe South Carolina penitentiary, a copv of which is hereto attached, I hand you a list of tbe hopeless cases, tbe first four suffering from tuberculosis, the last named, Pedro Myers, suffering from a disease of the heart and liver causing ascites or dropsy of tbe bowels. He Is advanced .in age and the intensity of his disease renders his cure as hopeless as those who are suffering from 4 tuberculosis. You will also find a resolution passed oy tbe board of directors relative to bis case. 1 have made diligent inquiry as to Simeon Davis and Pedro Myers and have good reasons to believe that neither of those are guilty of the crime of arson with which they are charged. All five of the above are hopelessly ill, and I hope you will grant them pardons. Respectfully, T. Ur Qtnrlrlo Physician S. C, Penitentiary. InterMtnte, l*li i I i |?|> i n?' Islituils nnd South American Exposition. Abbeville bavlag about settled Its mind on tbe proposed cotton mills, oil mills, knitting mills, and roller mills, attention Is now asked to tbe Great Interstate, Philippine Islands aDd South American Exposition which may take place at Abbeville, as soon as tbe necessary preparation can be had. It is earnestly hoped that our people will realize the Immense advantage which this Exposition will be, not only to Abbeville, but to tbe whole Stale. The Idea of this Great Exposition was sug gested not long ago by one of our most enterprising citizens and it seems that the prospects are all that tbe most enthusiastic lover of Abbeville could expect.

The Press and Banner is Indebted to the tbougbtfulness of Mr. G. H. Hall for a copy of the Locomotive Engineers' Journal, ?ontalninlug extended and interesting Botes of the recent convention in Milwaukee, Wis. consln, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The address of the Grand Chief Is an able and instructive paper, and well worthy to be read of all men. Mr. Hall Is one of the most Intelligent and most courteous men in the employ of the Seaboard Air Line, and from him many men in higher official stations might learn lessons of advantagejto themselves and of benefit to the great corporation which they represent. The program of the Fourth Biennial Conventlon of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Is a work of typographic art, and Is pleasant to look upon. Organized LnwleHimesa. The St. Louis carstrikerH are still attracting ftttmiflnn tr* thomuolMAo 1 Missouri contemplates ordering the 8tate militia to the city. The press reports are clearly in sympathy with the strikers, as will be seen by the account which we print. Tbe labor union strikers e?era to be a menace to the peace and prosperity of the country, and stringent laws should be enacted to restrain them In their lawlessnes, and to punlsb them for disregard of either law or the rights of others, l^abor unions have never built up any buslnlss. They generally seek to strike down business. Organized lawlessness needs speedy and exemplary punishment. XewN|??|>er Directory. The New|York Newspaper Union's publlca~ tlon, the Monthly Uniou, urges as Important the registration of the names of country newspapers In the Newspaper Directories. The Press aud Banner would take Issue with the Monthly Union on that matter.

A flop Seven ly-Kivo Years of KlrutrKleN, VictorieN and I'HcfnlueNN, He Vocn lo the Ureal Beyond. Prof. John Rennie Blake died at 7 o'clock on the afternoon ot J une Mil. 1'JOO, at bis homo In Greenwood, S. C., bis native town, at tbe Hge of 75 years. Tbe funeral services were conducted In tbe Presbyterian cburch by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Nail, D. D., assisted by Itev. \V. T. Matthews, of I llnton, S. C., and tbe remains were Interred In the city cemetery on June JOlh at a o'clock p. m. The active pall bearers were the nephews of the deceased: J. R. Blake, Jr., R. P. Blake, Jas. W. Blake, Austin Blake, Edgar Blake, E. A. Reynolds, James Williams and Charlie Alexander. The honorary pall bearers were the Elders of the Presbyterian church : R. I<\ McCaslan. G. A. Barksdale, J. T. Simmons, w. is. 31111wee, R. G. McLees and Joel S. Bailey. Prof Blake was the brot her of W. K. Blake, Esq., Dr. T. S. Blake. A. VV. Blake, Mrs. A. T. Bell, Mrs. J. C. Alevander, Mrs. H. B. Reynolds, Mrs. T. B. Williams and Mrs. E. J. Plowden. Prof. Blake was born of Irish parentage in 1825. He received his acbdemic education at Greenwood, and wasgraduated at the University of Georgia ito 1346, with the second honor of bis class, numbering twenty-three members. He was always a careful, zealous, painstaking, thorough student. He chose teaching for bis life work, and went irom the college balls to the school room. Wherever be taught, be erected In himself, by precept and example, a standard which his pupils have accepted as a model worthy of imitation. He was no leBS concerned for the development of those qualities of the heart tbat make the man, than for the intellectual progress of his pupils. In 1853 he was elected Professor ot Natural Science and Mathematics in theSynodlcal FemaleCollegeof Georgia?a position which he held until he obtained leave of absence to pursue a post graduate course at Harvard University In Geology and Chemistry under the great scientists Agasslz and Horsford, who became through life bis steadfast friends. W bile thus engaged he was elected a corresponding member of tbe Natural History Society of Boston, and a Fellow of the American Association for tbe advancement of science, and spent much of bis time with tbe great naturalists in tnaklng scientific explorations through western New York and Niagara which proved of Immense value to him throughout blB career aB a teacher. Pmr Rtnirn anon became recoenized as one of tbe foremost scientists In America. Id 1857 be was elected to tbe cbalr of Natural Solenoe Id tbe college established by tbe Synod of Memphis. But tbe chief work uf Prof. Blake's life was at Davidson College, N. C? which began In 1861, and oontlnued for twenty-five years?eight years of which time be was chairman of the faculty and ei-offlclo President of tbe College. Upon this Institution was stamped tbe impress of a mind, rich with the garnered treasures of research and learning. Of him, it may he said, thai of all tbe ministers in tbe Southern Presbyterian church of this generation, there are few who were not pupils of bis, and many of whom were beneficiaries of bis generous liberality. As bis health began to fall, and his physical powers to decline, he resigned his professorship which the board reluctantly accepted, and retired to h Is native home, to rest amoDg his irtends. No longer needing his books, by virtue of his physical condition, he donated bis entire valuable library, consisting of several thousand volumes, to tbe Presbyterian College at Clinton, S. C. But his work was not finished. He began then to consider what more be could do by uirino of (ha monnn hv whlnh he had been blessed. After anxious and prayerful consideration, be determined to perpetuate tits labors by erecting a hospital at Sboo Chow, China, and dedicated It to the memory of his mother and wife as "the Elizabeth BlakeHospital" for which he paid $11,000 In gold; and gave to it other munificent legacies. This magnificent charity Is In charge of the Foreign Missionary Board of the Southern Presbyterian Church, and is to be used as an "evangeilstlo agency to heal bodily suffering and to preach tne gospel to tbe poor." Last year over 4,000 patient* were treated In this bospital. Could there be a more fitting termination of an active, useful, busy life? And as the eternal life 1b but tbe continuance of the life that now is in its perfection, what an appropriate conclusion or this brief, earthly period, and guarantee of a Joyous entrance upon a broader field beyond the shores of time. But the lives of such men can never die, and while loving hands and sorrowing friends consigned to earth his mortal body, yetProf. Blake will live on In tbe lives of thousands of men scattered tbrougbout our Southland who sat at his feet as students, ana whose characters were moulded with tbe Impress of his exalted being. He will still speak through the lips of bundreds of ministers tbrougbout this as well as heathen lands, who sat under bis instruction, and now preach tbe glorious gospel of that religion which he so faithfully practiced, and beautifully adorned. Such a life can never die, for tbe good men do, live after tbem, while generations unborn will arise to bless tbelr memory. Truly to him on tbe other shore will the welcome be "Well done good and faithful servant." As the recent eollpse of tbe sun created considerable Interest tbrougbout tbe country, we publish the following description of a similar occurrence, by Prof. J. R. Blake, in IfciGS. He assisted W. H. Kerr, State Geologist of North Carolina, Id making solenllnc observations on Pilot Mountain: Go wltb me to the summit of Pilot Mountain, N. C., wltb a select party of scientists gathered on tbat lofty watcbtower, 1500 feet above tbe surrounding plain, to witness one ol tbe most impressive scenes nature ever presents to tbe gaze of man, a total eclipse ol the sun. Ab the critical hour approaches we sit anxiously waltlDg to catch the first moment of contaot. The eclipse begins?slowly It progresses, but neither nature nor tbe merry voices ringing through tbe mountain top give any token of the awful solemnity awaiting us. But, although tbe supreme moment delays, tbe line of totality is approaching. Ou tbe distant mountain tops and tbe Intervening plains we Bee tbe shadows of the night rushing upon us. In the twinkle of an eye, the sun goes ont In darkness. In an instant, as If tbe pall of death had swept over tbe mountain top, the merry laugh and jest are hushed into silence, or Binks lntolow subdued whispers with bated breath and the air of this strange night grows chill and damp. One by one tbe stars have come out to witness tbe solemn ceremony, the bats have crept out from tbe crevices of tbe rocks and tilt about in the dusky air. Tbe ravens are hurrying home to roost. Wood and field and crag and ollfl have putt on funeral robes. A pale, yellow, sickly ligh rests upon the weld scene, wbllsl'around tbe couch of tbe departed sun, extending far beyond tbe intervening moon, Is a balo of glory more resplendent than mortal eyes ever beheld around tbe dying ooncb of earthly monarch. This ploture dell eg tbe powers of fancy, ltbeggars language. Just bask In the glories of this unsurpassed scene, allow tbe wings of Imagination to have free sweep to revel amid those atari wltb tbelr vast magnitude, their Immeasurable distances, tbelr complicated movements, Wltb all tbe wonderful glories, wblcb "eye hatbnot seen nor ear beard, nor bath It entered Into into tbe heart of man to conceive," if you be not more or less than human, tnrely the soul will take fire and mount upward with wings as eagles.

To some minds tbe word Peace has come to express a negative idea. It implies the absence of a number of horrible and terrible things, but no nnuitiira nr\?lr?n nf nrnrrnwa nnrl nrl "VI4W" V? t" -..X ment. There is a Peace which is only another name for death?tbe Peace under a vast military despotism, or the Peace which follows the perpetration of 9ome great injustice : and one sometimes finds oneself regretting that the title of the Conference is not so descriptive of its objects as it might be. But real Peace is something more than the absence of war and its attendant horrors. It is, in fact, the indispensable condition on which organized and reasoned progress of the human race is possible. There is no fallacy more pernicious than that which applies the jargon of evolution to politics, which finds nature "red in tooth and claw," assumes that political development also must necessarily be bloody, and n.l?U uuuiuara ueuuuuiivcuc^a wilil ?rucigjr. The fallacy is to assume that because we have progressed in spite of war, therefore war and unrestricted competition is the essential condition of progress. The internal history of every country gives the lie to such a doctrine. The internal progress of a country means in fact, an increase of the duties owed by each of its citizens to his fellows, and of the' moral restrictions placed on his own personal sovereignty. The same principle holds good in international relationships. Peace?that is to say, the substitution of right for might, of reason for unreason-ris thus the indispensable condition of any real progress in international relations. It is with equal certainly the prime condition of political progress within the State, for "no nation can do justice at home while it is doing injustice abroad. The civilized word, as represented at the Hague, has recognized these principles more clearly than it has ever recogDized them, and here lies the chief significance of the Conference in history. The Arbitration Project of the Conference is fraught with the most splendid possibilities, and in other directions it has stimulated thought even where it has failed to reach practical results. The future of these things rests with the politicians and the people of each country, and prophecy is idle. Of this much, however, we may feel certain?that a new idea, hitherto professed and acted upon by only a few of the greatest statesmen, has now become the common property of politicians in all the civilized nations of the world. The Nick ICouiii. Every sick room should have a large vessel of water, frequently' renewed, placed near the bed. This not only absorbs much of the hurtful vapor ; but by its evaporation, it softens and tempers tne atmosphere, doing away with the dryness -which in so trying and depressing to an invalid, or even to persons in health, for that matter. It has frequently been shown by actual experiment that troubled sleep and threatened ineomui are corrected by so simple a thing as the] placing of an open bowl of water near I the sufferer's bed, On the same priori ciple, water which has been standing | in" an open vessel in a sleeping-room^ | or sick-room, should under no cocdf^i tion be u?ed for drinking; nor should! any liquid intended as a beverage be allowed to thus stand opeu to con-j tamination. -Wj * (?od sees heroes where the worf<|]( tees very common people. & (' i i 'lie 11 > n Lawns, 20-4 sing, Butchers :nts. h Bleached Da- 2 piece* 1 ttern. mas*. low, fas - 42 cts- Sal ' __ .00 ed 7 3 inch Da- 2 piece inch. - ?& cts. sai DNTS. ? h Damask, new i i piece n 65 Cts. casing. .
