Iv\ . f The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. *^Pnbli(ihed every Wednesday at ?2 a year In advance. Wednesday, Sept. U, 1901. Two Deaths. Last week Abbeville was notable In the fact that we had two deaths. One, of an old lady. after Bbe bad finished ber lifework. Tbe other of a youtb wbobad not yet reached man hood'h estate. One went to her grave In a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh In In bla season. Tbe other, yielded up bis young life before Its sun had fairly risen above the horlzen. While the shadows were still far to tbe west, bis eyes were closed in tbat great sleep whiob we call death. Mrs. 0. T. Morse, widow of the late Rev. A. A. Morse, died at ten o'clock of tbe night of September 8,1901. She had reached ber 74tb year. She bad ol late often expressed the desire to depart and be with ber Saviour, in , whom she placed implicit faith and undoubtlag confidence. Realizing tbat she bad fin- ' lsbed ber work on earth she looked hopefully to tbe coming of tbe summons which sbe knew oould not be long deferred. Thankful that ber life bad been so long spared, and oonscions that sbe bad served her God and ber people in trntb and In earnestness, sbe was ! mi ill nor onrt rnaflv for AftenunMnB' before the book which records our thoughts and marks our deeds. Tired and weary 6he Jay I down to rest and we know her no more, except in memory. She is at Long Cane now. James Patterson Templeton, youngest child > of our townsman Mr. \\\ A. Templeton, died Friday night, September 6, 1S01, in his sixteenth year. On Tuesday, August 30, 1901, he was in the best of health, and in the enjoyment of athletio sports in the front J yard of the homestead. It was at the dose of the da*y, after his father had gone home from the store. Jimmle fell from the limb of a magnolia tree on whloh he had been exerolslng. His father heard the fall, and started towards him when Jimmle rose to his feet and said that he was Dot seriously hart, and i nothing more was thought of it. The next ' day, Wednesday, he planned a trip to friends , at Greenwood, which was assented toby the i family. He then said be would cut firewood to last until his return, and he did the work s without complaint or evidence of suffering. < On Thursday morning, however, the day on J which be waB to go away, tba bruise which | he received in his fall seemed to develope < into a boil, and he waB sick. His pulse was ' quick and his temperature was high. The j bruise, or the boil, was polticed with a view ( to bringing the matter to a head. Later, his ' symptonn were still unsatisfactory, and a pby- j slclan was called. The patient grew worse ? and the second physlolan waa summoned in ' consultation. Blood polBonlng had set in i from the bruise, and Jimmle continued to < grow worse until the end came on Friday j night, as stated above. t All of those whom we have beard speak are J deeply affected by this most sad occurence. Everybody loved and respected Jimmle Templeton, and there la not a heart In town that does not go out in tender sympathy to the bereaved family. II tenderness and loving kindness oould shed light and happiness, the darkened and saddened home would not be gloomy today. The floral girts were In great profusion, and the act of bis schoolmates In following the casket with rich offerings of the choicest flowers was tonohlng. The flowers no doubt reflected the beauty and the fragranco of a sweet memory of their departed oomrade. Death loves a shining mark, and JlmmleTempleton was stricken down. Attempt on the Life of the President. At Buffalo last Friday while the President was giving a reception, a Pole whose name we cannot pronounce, flred two pistol shots at Mr. McXlnley. One of the shots inflicted a serious wound in the abdomen, from wbioh it was feared that he would die. But last accounts give reason to hope that he will live. t His pure life, bis lncorruptable official career, and the broad lives upon which he Has administered the aflalrs of the government make him perhaps the moBt beloved ruler In the world. Good men everywhere love him f and deplore the attack upon his life. The prayers of Christian people In this and other lands have gone to the throne of Grace in his behalf. He Is still In Buflalo, and will not be able to . be moved for several weeks. m m DESTBUOTIVE FIRE. The Faroitnre and Undertaking Establishment of BlcDlll A Lyon is Damaged. Last Friday nlgbt, at about 9.80 o'olook, one of tbe Rochester kerosene lamps exploded In the undertaking and furniture store of Mr. J. Hayne MoDlll. A coffin was being prepared for tbe burial of Boags Kennedy who bad died that day. At tbe moment of tbe explosion Mr. Mack Ellis, olerk, and tbe porter, London, were In tbe store. Mr. MoDlll bad left only a few minutes before on business In reference to tbe burial James P. Templeton, wbo bad Just died. At the explosion of tbe lamp the flames spread like a flush, and tbe whole store was Immediately ablaze. Tbe fire alarm was given, and In seven minutes tbe fire company nad two strong streams of water playing upon tbe flames. In from four to six minutes tbe water bad done Its work. The flre was out and Mr. McDlll's store was flooded. For bo short a time, tbe wreck was as complete arf possible. All tbe pictures were destroyed, and not a piece of fornlture escaped without more or less Injury. The lnsuranoe was $1,000. Mr. McDlll estimates his damages at $2,500 to $3,000. i While tbe loss to Mr. McDlll Is a heavy one, In money, yet be has health and strength, aDd the bravery enough to meet It, His richest estate?his good name and bis business taot?has not suffered. Public spirited and generous, be bas a bost of friends. Honest and fair in bis dealing with all men he bas gained a good trade, and it, like bis good name, Is still with blm. Riches may take to themselves the wings of tbe morning, but business qualifications and high obaraoter, survive flre and misfortune. They are Imperishable and remain with no smell of flre on their garments. Mr. MoDlll bas been In business since 18M. and bas by application and energy enlisted a goodly number of ouBtomers, who will stand j to him forever. ( It is a pleasure to his friends to note that , Mr. MoDlll is not cast down, but is hopeful j even in me nour 01 adversity, nia miBior- , tune will nerve him to greater effort, and tbe ( greater affort will bring to him mill greater , success tban baa attended bis efforts In tbe past As soon as things can be stralgbtened be will be again at bis old stand, ready to serve bis customers as in tbe days of yore. Abbeville Is to be congratulated for tbe promptness and efficiency of ber lire com pa- ' nles. No small town could bave better Are protection. On Friday night, It will be observed, In leBS tban seven minutes two strong streamB were poured Into tbe burning build- ' lng. And their promptness on Friday night Is no exception. Promptness Is the rule. Tbe firemen did their duty, quickly, bravely and . well. i IMI 1 LOWEST BATE TO BUFFALO. ! j On Account of the Pan American 1 Exposition.

Y., September 8.?Special: rames B. Parker, the Georgia negro who tnocked down Czolgocz the moment after he ihot tbe President* was found to-day. He ;ave agraphia account of the tragic occurrence. "I was next In line behind tbe Anarchist vbo shot the President," tie said. ' ! tried to ;et In front of blm several times, but he pushed me back with bis elbow. A little girl bad ust shaken bands with tbe President when .he assassin reaobed him. Czolgocz had tbe evolver conoealed in a handkerchief, which ivas wrapped around tbe revolver and blx land. Czolgocz did not extend bis left band ts some of the newspapers report. Tbe President thought Czolgoez's right hand was tore, and put out bis band to take the knarohlst's left hand. As he did this tbe \.naroblst flred twice, bam, bam. I struck Him in the nose with my right fist, and reach>d with my left band to take the pistol from aim. Several of the marines thought the >fflcer was tbe man who did the shooting, but le pointed to where I had Czolgocz down on tbe floor, and said: There is tbe man who ihot him.' Czolgocz raised hlB pistol again o shoot either the President or myself, but ' " - ? 1 Uo II 10BL UUlt) 1 UUU&CU UIUJ ou uatu iua> u? x>uldn't shoot. I struck him bo hard that ,be blood gashed from his nose. We Strug(led some seconds before the secret service >fflcers reached as.

I believe thai my strlkng.Crolgocz kept blm from shooting until be implied bis pistol and probably prevented ;be President from being wounded again." Parker is a native of Oeorgla, bis mother vas a Savannah colored woman, and bis tether was a balf Spanish and half negro from John's Island, off Charleston. He has >een living In Buffalo since last March, and lad for several months been employed in Lbe Plaza Restaurant In the Exposition [rounds. He got off from his work In order lo shake hands with the President, and was ibe man immediately behind the assasln. Parker considers Atlanta as his bome, he laving lived most of his life there, working In the North at intervals. He says he only lid his duty, but does not relish the way In which the seoret service men have attempted o oreate the Impression that they overcame .be assassin. He only regrets that he was not allowed to kill Czolocz. "The twenty .boasand white people while there ough t not lo have ezpeoted a nigger to do It all." He iald : "Some of them ought to have helped ne to kill blm ; we would have fixed him inlck In Georgia." Parker 1b In deadly fear of the Anarchists ind says that he will leave Buffalo Boon besanse he Is afraid they will kill him. Charles Edward Llod. ? m m rHE GOOD NEWS IN LONDON / Llnoit as Much Rejoicing In England as In the United States Over the Prospects of President McKInley's Recovery. London, September 8.?Genuine relief pervades England to-night over tbe encouraging -eporta regarding President McKlnley's conlltlon and tbe prospects of bis recovery. His personality continues to absorb tbe country's lympatby and Interest. Were KlDg Edward ylng wounded popular feeling could scarcely ie stronger or deeper. Prayers for the recovjry of Mr. MoKlnley were offered up In hunireds of British churches to-day, notably St. Paul's Westminster Abbegr and Canterbury Ifetbedral. At the Eev. P. B. Meyer's church, in London, where tbere was a large attenlance, Including many Americans, tbe cod;regatlon rose and paBBed a resolution of symoatby. Hundreds made Incessant inquiries throughout the day at tbe United States embassy. Among them were Lord Pauncefort, Charles Spencer Francis, United States minister to Greece, who is en route to bis post, and Uulted StateB Senator Martin, of Virginla, who Is stopping In London for a few days. Many Americans walked, drove or travelled by train for miles in order to get tbe latest authentic news. All departed delighted, but still anxious. Senator Martin, upon being informed by a representative of the Associated Press of tbe later satisfactory reports, expressed the keenest satisfaction. He said be would not return to London for two or three weeks. Minister Francis said to the Associated PreBS representative: "1 have been a frequent visitor to England for many years, but I have never seen anything like tbe general sympathy now being evinced towards tbe President, and It comes from the heart. It Is a national emotion, and Is unprecedented, being greater tban has ever been shown over any event, except perhaps the death of Queen Victoria. Every one talks it?your hotel waiter, elevator hoy and proprietor. Everywhere you go McKlnley's name Is on tbe people's lips, coupled with deeply sympathetic references. The intensity of this broad spread feeling is marvellous, and bears witness to a friendship the depth of which I scaroely realize." King Edward has shown keen anxiety. His first Inquiry upon being met at Copenhagen by tbe Danish royalties was for news of the President's condition, and he immediately dispatched a congratulatory cablegram to Ambassador Cboate. The foreign office and tbe United States embassy are keeping the King fully Informed of Mr. McKlnley's sondltlon. MANUFACTUBING COMPANY. 4 New Industrial Enterprise an Ah* snred Fact.
