Editor Press aDd Banner: Being on tbe sick list and ordered not to work by tbe doctor, I have nothing lo do but to "root" around and hunt up out-of-date matter and things, some of which I find quite Interesting. I owe much 10 my gemai ineuu, vuiuuei J. T. Austin, of Greenville, S. C., wbo holds a position In the office of Secretary of State. Mr. Austin has been arranging and Indexing the old reoords found in a room In the third tory of the Capitol. I have read many old papers o -gone days with great pleasure, and I has ild up much useful Information for future u^e. Colonel Austin has called my attention to several papers relating to Abbe, Tille County, among them being the present meat of the grand Jury for Abbeville District at the October, 1812, term of the Court ol General Sessions. At the suggestion of the grand Jury, the presentment was referred to the General As-' sembly through the senator and senior member of tbe House of Representatives, as is ohown by tbe order on the back of it, signed by Jaa. Wardlaw. C- C. G. S. I give the pre aentment in full, as follows: "South Carolina?Abbeville District, "October Term, 1812." "We. tbe graod Jurors of said District doj present as a grievance tbe present mode ol Bupporting tbe poor throughout tbe District and State, and recommend tbat poor houses > be made throughout the State, and In particular In this District. "2nd. And wo present as a grievance tbat tbe Journals of the Legislature are not published so as to give more general information to tbe oltlzend. "3rd. And we preienv as a grievance that tbe price ol iloenses for retailing spirits Is too high, and tbat no one body of men Is bound to give Information specially, and tbat tbe fine for retailing without lloeose Is too btgb. "4th. We present as a grievance tbat the flue against prorane swearing 1b not sufflclen tly htgn ; and, also, tbat Sabbath-breaking is not sufficiently guarded against. "5tb. We also present as a grievance tbat conctables are no', held to security. "We request his Honor the Judge, to cause these oar presentments to be published In the State Gareite, and cause tbe same to be laid before the Legislature at their nexi - meeting.

Botb tbe style and tbe subject matter pounds queer to tbe people of tb!s day. Tbe grand Jurj wanted tbe license on liquor reduced as well as the fines for retailing wltbout license. Al tbe tame time It wanted more Btrlngent laws on profane swearing, and complained thai tbe breaking of tbe Sabbath was not buIII olently guarded against. Among tbe papen brought to llgbt U tbe report or tbe evldenc aken by tbe committee of Investigation C tbe Third Congressional District undft -tbe authority of tbe General Assembly or^outb Carolina. Kepu< lar Session 1868-1869. bat makes very Inter estlng reading, too, &w)d it sounds queer and as It It belonged to some age long since past, instead of Just a few years back. Tbat wonderful report is signed by Joseph Crews, Chairman. It treats of tbe Intimidation oi tbe negroes at elections, their treatment generally by tbe whites, tbe Ku-Klux Klan, thr killing of Randolph at Hodges, tbe murder of "Sneak" Martin, and many other like matters. It tries to lay tbe blame of all mur dersat that time on D. Wyatt Aiken. Jarae* 8. Cothran and tbe K-K K. I will copy Just one paragraph In full, that In tbe face of tbe facts then existing Is tbe most remarkable t utterance ever written. Here It Is: "The oolored people are the most govern able people In tbe*world?less roguery and stealing than there was under the old system." In rambling through Elm wood Cemetery here, I notloed a foot-atone with the follow log Inscription: " Removed Irom Potter's Field to this plac? M by the students of South Carolina College, ** February, 1860." That naturally excited my curiosity, and 1 examined the headstone, when, to my sur, prise I found that the prave was tnat of an Abbeville boy. I will let the Inscription peak for Itself. It Is as follows: " Here Ilea the body of Jean Louis FInle.v. " son of Tbomaa Flnley and Jeane Glbert bin ' wife. Born In Abbeville, November 7, 1795. M Died In this town September 7,1814. " He came hither In search of knowledge, M which be loved ; and of bis gentleness, vir" tue and talent, our College was Justly " proud. But pious, affectionate and ardent. " his real was too much for him, and In hie " Junior year, when he looked lorward, aDd " deservedly, to the first honours of his Col " lege, he sank beneath the unequal conflict " of a vigorous mind with a feeble frame oi M body." " His father, sole survivor of an only son, " has plsoed this stone to nis memory." " His Baltera accumentum donls, et fungas m lncanl munere." Tbexpnngman must have some kin still llvlngln Abbbvllle, especially among the Gibe rts of Lebanon and Bordeaux, that the foregoing will Interest. Wm. P. Calhoun. MUSIC SCHOOL. Ten Dnyi| of Good Work by Pror. Locke, of Hnrtwell, Oa. Abbeville, S. C., May 9,1903. Editor Press and Banner: K7>r the nast ten davs Prof. Locke, of Hart well, Ga., a well-known and excellent muslclac, Usui been teaching a music school lu the ball over Barnet's alore. A, more successful school has never existed. Those who attended were bigbly pleased with the result*, and realize ibat a more klllful oompetent and courieouR Instructor could not be found anywhere. Prof. Locke has made sooree of trlends In this town, who wish him all the suoceus and enjoyment that can crown the life of ao worthy a Christian gentleman. Last night the ball was crowded with friends and visitors, who came out to witness the Closing exercises. There were a number of L. recitations by the children, all of wblcb were splendidly rendered. Eacb recitation wab followed by a song. The organ was played b> Miss Annie Boles, of Lowndes vine, who has been a regular scholar and has also assisted Prol. Locke In the nse of the organ throughout the entire term. A aolo, "In the Shadow of Thy Wing," was sang by Miss Del ma Boles. A solo, "Tbe Railway Message," was sung by Mrs. Mamie Bradaon. Two songs, "Old Joe," and "Who Built de Ark," were snug by Prof. Locke and others and were exceedingly comical. Mr. J. C. Thomas, of Beverly, Ga., gave an Interesting talk; so did Messrs. Barnet, Henderson ana uiii. After the above-named speeches came a song. "Have Courage, My Boy, to Say No," beautifully sung by Prof. Loose, which held tbe andleoce pell-booDd. Next came Prof. Locke's farewell address, and the httherio gay assembly became sad as they listened to tbe voice of tbe eloquent speaker and realized that that tbe hour of parting was at hand. Tears were shed by members of bis class; It seemed tbat they oooid not give up their noble leader, after having become so greatly attached to him. But all things must end?even life Itself will end. Following this address came a song, "The Parting Hand," admirably suited to tbe occasion. Tb6 school bas been a season of sweetness and benefit to all those who have attended, and we hope tbat tbe days will not glide into months, until our Professor will come again. A. M.B. MalU Close.

Editor Press and Manner : People are becoming alarmed at tbe violence and frequency of the hail and wind ' storms which visit our Southern country. The long drouths in Summer so hard on crowing crops, are also cause of uneasiness. _ Those who have read and thought on the Jsubject know that all are caused by the ter-,u'? /tfloimMinn ftf niir fnr*?nt. t.reen. If OUT I lawmakers have the good of their country at heart they will stop this destruction and require the reforesting of all waste places. There are other sources from which oil mills and cotton mills should draw their running | power and they should be required to use thee sources and quit using so much wood. It would cost something of course, probably large amounts of money, but it would be for the flual good of our people at large. There Is no sense nor statesmanship In waiting till great trouble comes when It can be foreseen and the cause removed. "Ino" is a crank on the suplect of tree planting hut we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have plenty of good company. A few years from now when the wind can sweep the country from mountain to sea with no forests to retard its progress the " storms will be more severe and the drouths of longer duration resulting In disaster to our people and tbeir means of subsistence. O We are like Editor Wilson in thinking that our legislators should think more about the needs of our country and less about monuments to the dead who have already bnilt monuments in the hearts of our people and who themselves, II alive would spend the money for the good of the living. Trthfi twentv thousand dollars appropriate ed by the Legislature for Hampton's monument bad been spent tn reforesting unproductive land in this State would have done a wonderful amount of good to all our people. Will you Editors, who reaoh so many people and who bave such wide Influence use ibat influence to attract attention to this subject? I feel sure that you will and if so tbese thoughts will not be waated 1n the writing. "Ino." an " bs Sundy Lnn<t. ' Fj Mr. Law.ton Robertson of the city visited Ca relatives here last week.

The Treasury Department has refused to pass the personal accountH of Dr. Crum as Tt colleotor of this port and he will not be permitted to uraw any pay lrom the government unless and until hie nomination by the President Is oouflrmed by the Senate.
