The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. " 4ci-Published every Wednesday at 8- ? ,.y?ar In advance. I Wednesday, Oct 31, 1900. ' fDentti of Churle* K. Bruce. Tbere are circumstances In tbe life and death of Charles E. Bruce that would touch the sympathetic heart. f In youth bis patriotic spirit ana his love or I adventure led him to volunteer into the Conr federate army. Entering the First Georgia I Keglment at the earliest call to arms, he made a record which commanded the respect and admiration of his fellows. In March, 18t>5, being the fourth anniversary ' Of his military service, he received a wound from wbich he loRt a leg. This wound was received in one of the last skirmishes of the war? 1 and before it bad healed hostilities between the States bad ceased. After the war, when he had again entered npon the peaceful pursuits, he was placed at Ia great disadvantage in tbe struggle for the good things of life; but in assuming these duties he was not less brave than he had been valorous in the dangers of military service. In whatever station, and under whatever circumstances with which he was confronted! he faced the issues with a bravery wbich is seldom equalled. Although he was physically disabled, he was not cast down in splrlt> nor was he weakened in manly resolve. So to speak, he fought the battle of life, facing tbe elements, and always had the courage to act upon his convictions. On Saturday morning, October 27, 1900, he y*"i8 taken seriously sick, and before the iwn of day tbe struggle was over. Death stlmed him, and in one short hour bis soul jot out in tbe darkness to that undiscovered untry. from which none' have ever re. H^Burned. And thus It Is that the familiar H^^vtrm of Charlie Brace will be no more seen Hj^Kpon our streets. His life and bis works are HHKw but a memory. The tired heart and the j H^^Bjary limbs that knew no rest for half a cen' HBjH-y are stilled In death. ^^B^Wie beautiful flowers that lent a beauty and , BKjSKagrance to his ootfln and ornamented the ^^^^Bind beneath which he sleeps were of Na- J beat, and they were In striking contrast the often dark ai^d sometimes cheerless H^H^Kway which marked his journey to the |DS|H , BHhh MgRHKritlclBms of Captain Sawyer.

' Class Legislation. I We Bee that members of the Georgia LeglsJa.ture arc agitating a bill to regulate child 'labor In cotton mills. Suob legislation, ltseemB to u?, 1b oontrary -to the principles of this form of government. Iuu warnuv in eqauy lor separating from other members of the oommoae cannot be dealt with except as a he whole population. sposltlon to lfaterfere wllh the ootton >r may result more from a desire to eat corporations than to benefit the of laboring people. As a rule the ot children will not Impose upon lldren. The habit of working Is an n which Is as valuable as the acqula knowledge of letters. our own standpoint, we think the es In cotton mills should resent lnse by law with the government of mllies. Special legislation, or class on, for or against any people Is injur' for no other cause, the mere fact of : a line between laboring people as a id other people Is repulsive. Close of the Campaign. ? the last Issue of the Press and Banner the election. The time for campaignS9Hj^Bout and we are glad of It. As far as the BHBBH officers are concerned tbe election Is to ratify tbe result of tbe primary HDKHod. Ab for the National election, in tblB fflnfl, It is largely in tbe same category. ERS^ffij^E) congressmen are already nominated. ^^^^^Vsame is true of tbe Presidential electors. Eflfl^B^ponly questions as to tbe|3tate election HBK is, as to the total vote. Each and every ^H^^PWcrat is, or will he, elected. HN^^Hnterest, however, attaches to tbe vote ol SSfl^Blher States where the vote of the contending H^^Bartles may be in doubt, in a number of H^^ntates tbe vote is admittedly so close, that Bj^^Koth political parties claim it. The result HBof the Presidential election may depend upon |V tbe action of the doubtful States. Should Bryan carry tliem, tbe victory will be for the Democracy. Should McKlnley receive tbe H doubtful vote that will settle it in favor of H the Republicans. Both parties claim that the chances are in H their favor. The count of the ballots alone can determine the result. Attempt to Wreck a Train. EBt The attempt last Saturday nlgbt to wreck a passenger train near Atlanta with 180 pasxengern aborad was narrowly averted. Tbe story of tbe captives shows a degree of almost InW conceivable depravity and a shocking disrecan! for hnmnn llfp The rlncrlonHor In flia I affair claims to have been a native of Abbeville County. Stick to lilN Friends Forever. Mr. W. D. Melton of Greenwood was In I town last Monday. He Is a native of Georgia, ^nd moved to this State In 1883. Up to that lime he had taken the Eatonton Messenger i for fclght years, and he still takes It, even alter " an absence from Georgia for neventeen years. I Mr. Melton married in Greenwoon County?

The men lived over their war experiences and many stirring recitals caused tbe heart to beat with renewed vigor which will lengthen their days. r Capt. McCaslan told of their baptism of blood at Murfreesboro when the 10th abd 19lh y. C. regimen is captured a battery wblcta was 8 presented to Gov. Pickens as a reward for tbe gallantry of the South Carolina boys in tbis, F their tlrst big fight. Here the 19th lost its Colonel. A. J. Lytbgoe and Maj. J. A. Crowder, i whose names were inscribed upon the pieces which were sent to Gov. Pickens. . Corporal L. S. Trewitt, of Co. "H," was pre- J sen ted to the crowd as the man who picked 1 up the flag when Lieut. Wheeler, our colorbearer was killed on July 22d, near Atlanta, t and who was carrying It on July 28th, when t Lieut-Gen. Stephen D. Lee asked lor tbe flag i to rally the meo. Trewitt refused to give it c to blm, but Bald, "General, I will carry it any- t wiiere you order me to go." Gen.

Marlon Wheeier. a son 01 ourxameuieu, ehi- < lant flag bearer, being present, was iutroduo- j ed to tbe men, a nobie son of a brave and gallant sire. I Tbe 19th regiment was composed of six ' companies from Kdgefleld, three from Abbeville and one from Sumter. I No regiment that went into the service of J the state has a better record or did more gallant service, capturing at Murfreesboro and t Cblckamauga a battery which was in its ? front, and on July 22d, it captured tbe noted DeGress battery of Illinois. Its war record la oonflned to the western army having been Bent west to reinforce for t the battle of Shlloh, and never returned, but took part in all tbe battles fought by that array.
