jfcp'V' I __ The Press and Banner. = ? BY HUGH WILSON. A ABBEVILLE, S. C. P *S~Publlshed every Wednesday at S2 a of* year in advance. ful Wednesday, Aug. 28, 1901. ft ?? So Bp: ?a Net nud Sit. il ' co At the farmers' ipstitute at Clemnon last to Wednesday me suojeci 01 poultry w?m umcussed by Mr. 0. M. Watson. The News and 'J Courier'* report says "the fact was brought an out that when a hen wants to sit sbe is going co set." which Is a very remarkable tact. We an know It to be a fact that when some hens tlo want to sit they are going to sit, If they have ly, to sit on a limb or on the ground In a coop, no but we have never known a hen to set or at- otl tempt to set. They will sometimes persist In tb; 1 . sitting till they force you to set them to get Mi rid of tbem. Since this fact about hens has soi been brought out, we are prepared for the fre statement that when a hen wants to lay sbe coi , is going to lie. 011 Lest injustice be done to somebody, it is to fair to slate that Mr. Watson's language Is all not quoted, and there may be some mistake ful about the statement. We should be pleased sei to have our readers, especially tbe younger ba " ones who are interested In the study of the dr English language, pay particular attention to la1 their hens that want to sit, and see and report foi to The Lantern whether they set or sit. This plj ought to settle tbe question. Tbe Lantern J will be sent free six months to tbe first boy or lit . girl under 16 years of age who. In a letter Sn written by himself or herself, reports a case Hi with satisfactory proof of a hen that wants wi to sit and then changes her mind and sets, wl I Tbe paper will also be sent free three months sw to every subsequent one who reports a like ta case under tbe same conditions and limlta- ^ Hons before September loth.?Chester Lantern. ou Tbe wheels in our head have slipped a cog, _ and we do not quite understand tbe above, ni but when the Court and a hen are at their en legitimate business the Court sits, and tbe tQJ hen sets. th We would as soon say "progrum" as to say lu "sitting ben.'' Even a good natural man like ^ the editor of the Chester Lantern would be wi OT/inoohlo If ha brnrmlrprt a man down with & Pr base ball bat for using either expression. 8U The Lantern Is right when It says tbat a th man tries to do a thing, Instead of "try and Pa j|:V do." tu tTilk About BoMsen. ^ We have heard much of bosses In South jei Carolina, but Is not Tillman king of all the bosses ? He doeB as be pleases; votes wltn to the Republicans at will; coquets with Populists and Republicans In Convention; gr changes bis mind as often as be pleases, and ac then tells the boys how to vote. And It Is ev Bald that they will do his bidding every time. tt, It must be very gratifying to Mr. Tillman to an see the unquestioning eagerness of the boys to follow bis directions. It Is equally won- aj derful to see bis former enemies now so near- Mi ly In the Tillman oolumn.; Tillman Is certainly a great man. It Is l( said tbat he recently passed the word along ac the line telling the boys to vdte In Stokes's ^ district, for Judge Buchanan, and It Is said of pT; ; tbat bis. friends will obey bis instructions, Mi and respect bis wishes.; Ills further said that Tillman intends to pe make selection of McLaurln's successor. M< Political Influence is a great thing. In ^ former years when a man attempted to speou- Se late on their votes, or attempted to control them, there was often disappointment. Now, b?' a man may claim to have a majority of the BlX; . votes of the State stored away in the recesses of hlB vest pocket. AlUl^iUiOgiCOl IV UC UCO, TTJbUUUb^VQU kUC ^ trouble of investigating great national lssueB, te, or doing any thinking for one's self, pe Thoughts, like clothing, are now ready-made ^ lor those of us who live in Tillman's land. th, EfOr a? pr General in Tbelr Application. lhJ The SDartasbare Herald says: *r "Justice demands that when laws are passed ^ tbey should be general in their application." m| And so with pardons. Tbey should be I <! banded around impartially. Except for Col- P? Neal's political power and influence, and pos- yj slbly because his enemies desired to destroy fa< bis Influence, it is fair to presume Col. Neal k'A would have never been prosecuted, or peree- th cuted, as the cage may be, on a mere technl- an callty because of the belated turning over of bis money. co But bis enemies bad the right to pun- tu iBb him, and we presume the Jury and the Judge that tried the case, could not have ar done otherwise than do as they did. an As It is, the law bas been vindicated and j~Q hla flnpmlpk htp kdttsflpfl kvfln thrvin whn nl may be slow to pay tbelr own debts may cast ?r: Btonee at him. It is possible that Borne men J?? who may never pay tbelr honest debts can es; cast rocks at him. c& Since writing the above, we notice that the Attorney General puts quite a different phase su on the Neal case from that published un- *>tl officially. And so we know nothing. l(^ / Better Left Unsaid. ah The Governor In granting, pardon to ColW. A. Neal, makes nRe of the following lan' . guage at the close of bis written statement. It is the severest speech that we have seen of Col. Neal, and we would have been glad If the Governor had graciously given the par- At don without landing the official boot. He fclj ' 8ay8: kl "Imprisonment under such circumstances ab could not add anything to the humiliation of to one who has occupied such positions as Neal, wi but could only bring sorrow and pain to bis de< wife and children, and the exercise of that na clemency wblch I am authorized under the rls constitution to exerclce, may be the means of ev Inspiring him to an earnest endeavor to re- Tb deem bis life and relnsatte himself in the oil good opinion of his fellow citizens." Oe lib ? . > an B?;< in, Could Believe Anything. in a recent Interview with Col. H. T.

A SOCIAL EVENT Delightful Sovinl Entertainment and Lawn Party Given by Me?*r?, II addon and Andernon to their Itfany Friends at the Elegant Renldence oT Mr K. .V. Iladdon. Ml the fair belles and all the gallant beaux the younger set In Aboevllle, were out In II lorce to the ilellgbtlul social entertaln?nt and lawn party given Monday evening the handsome residence and on the beauti1 lawn of Mr. K. M. Haddon by Mr. Clifford ndley Haddon, the popular und polite lesman at K. M. Haddon & Co'a. store and r. Paul Edward Anderson, the affable and urteous head clerk at A. B. Morse's store, their innumerable host of young friends d acquaintances. rhe young people paired off into couples d betook themselves to various nooks and rnersarouud over the spacious lawn and jongst the beautiful loliage aud flagrant wers and there the time sped all too swiftwhile the happy couples talked empty things and sentimental inonsense to each ler. But the two young hosts, assisted by e two charming and pretty chaperones, sb LUlie Tern pie ton and Miss Male Robertq, saw to It that the young gallcnts were quently changed so that tLe paired off apies would not become wearlsom to each aer. The evening, thus sped happily aloug all present till little after the hourot eleven were called in to the spacious and beautlfearn decorated piazzas and were there vori u-tih ift> ten. Immediately after all d assuaged their thirst with this cooling ink, they again betook themselves to the ivn and were soon seated by two's and ir's around the little tables that had been iced about on the lawn. [n a few moments the Ave Rweet and pretty tie waitresses, Misses Helen and lone alth, Onie and (Jara Morse and Eugenia )bertson, appeared on the scene bearing liters ladened with Ice cream and cake itch they soon with;charming grace and eetest manner, distributed at the various bles amongst the walling guests. \.fter the delightful refreshments had been iely partaken of, Mr. Clifford Haddon gave t to each guest a little piece of pastboard th a number written upon it. One numr, which was the counterpart of one of the imbers given out, bad been placed In an velope and sealed up. The company were,then asked to gather inthe handsome and elegant parlor where e sealed envelope was broken and the cky number made known. The counterrtofthe number44 was found to be held by 18H Onie Morse, who was then called forird and presented with the prize, a pair ol elty little patent leather opera ties, size 1% aloh, like the famous Clndarilla slipper, Is re to be a perfect fit. Immediately after Is, the hour being past midnight the cominy bid a pleasant good-nlgbt to the two >sts, the chaperones and each other and rned their steps homeward with the firm nvlotion In the mind of each one that they id spent one of the pleasantest evenings of elr lives. The front yard and piazzas were autlfuliy Illuminated with Cbineese lanrnsand rustic seats were plentifully scatred over the lawn, and afforded a comfortile resting place for all those who desired set down. Mrs. A. B. Morse and Misses ale Robertson and Llllle Templeton were e chaparoneB for the party, and were most aolons and hospitable towards the company id superintended the arrangements for the enlng, and the dispensing of the refreshents with such consumate tact that everyingwent off with the utmost smoothness id proficiency.

["here seems to be a healthy strong and de-mlned spirit pervading the minds of our ople now to bring Abbeville to the front. ) special boom or excitement In the matter t whenever an enterprise is mentioned ere seemB to be a willingness on the part ol ;reat many to subscribe and push the enter Ise along. [t seems to me what we need more than any lng else is several small enterprises. We e people of moderate means and cannot at Is time undertake large enterprise*, but we n pat in operation several small ones, and ake them pay by proper management, and lo not know but that these smaller enterlses pay much better according to the moninvested than the larger ones. Look at High Point, N. C, with 27 furniture jtorles and the town has literally grown up the woods in the last few years and today Is the furniture manutacturlng center of e South. The plants cost from 15 to 40 Ihous id dollars each, and tbe town has been made these small factories. rbere is plenty of oak and popular In our unty for the manufacture of cheap fuml re hiju it can uo pruuureu ut u luwer priuo hh mpared with other localities. Stock In ese factories, Is not purchasable and they e paying from 15 to 25 per cent, dividends, id some are even doing better than this, leap furniture 1b no dragon the market, id finds a ready sale at all times. Our furture dealers say they can hardly get this ade of furniture, as the factories are months blDd with their orders. There are only rnlture factories Id this State, and the largt one at Laurens the other day increased Its pltal stock to 9100.000. Abbeville is all right. There is not a better d more clever set of people in the United ates, and all we want now is to get together ck to home people, build small enterprises, ep our money at Come, quit running our wn down, and we will see a brighter day ead for uh. There are several small enterIses of this class paying well and we should 3k into the matter thoroughly and go ead. Very Respectfully, C. P. Hammond. ^ Who Wan It Got Married. )ne thing has been proven beyond a doubt e past week, and tbat is that the people of >beville most certainly have a great and perabundance of curiosity, enough to kill e proverbial cat and more than enough to 11 Lot's wife, and for fear; that that over uuunuvc ui vunwn; uiigui, uauno ouuie uuc commit some desperate act for wblcb tbey 11 ever afterwards be sorry, the writer bas elded to make known to tbe public tbe mes of tbe partleB who were UDlted In marige bv Rev. M. W. Gordon In his study one enlDg near the midnight hour. Tbey were lornas Grey who runs a barber shop in the I building opposite the public well and lorgia Heed, colored.

As the patient begins to regain health and strength more solid food is given ?milk or cream toast, soft boiled or poached eggs> cereal mushes, stewed or sometimes fresh fruits or a well baked potato. Great care must be taken not to overtax the digestive organs. Relapses are often caused by too much in-, dulgence of the patient's appetite at this stage.

A great deal of attention should be paid to the serving of food for a sick person. The faint appetite of illness can best be coaxed by the daintiness of the food. Serve the food on a tray with a fresh, white cover and be careful not to put so much on the tray as to crowd it Better to serve too little and let the patient ask for more than to put so much on at one time that the sick one is immediately discouraged. A flower or a little sprig of green laid upon the white tray cloth is often an incentive to the indifferent appetite, but do not o moo r\t flnwprs unless it be a very small and dainty one. Have the tray set with the prettiest china and glass obtainable, without too much color, so as to weary the eye. If the china Is all of a single pale tint, the effect will be very dainty and pleasing to tjie eye of the patient It must also be small enough to accommodate the size of the tray. Never let the tray or remains of food served stand In the sickroom after the patient has been fed. Let all hot foods be served Immediately after, they are prepared, and It seems superfluous to mention that all hot dishes must be hot and all cold dishes equally cold. However, this Is not always done. Sometimes both the cold and hot dishes are allowed to stand until they reach the same temperature. There are a great many simple, dainty desserts which may be served to the Invalids, especially those made with eggs and gelatin. Ice cream Is often 1 given and is very nutritious auu ea.u ?: digested by some very ill patients, and it is almost always relished. Bow to Whiten Ivory.
