? \ The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, 8. C. t Jtf-PubllBhed every Wednesdp at J2 ? year In advance. 1 Wednesday, June 17, 1903. A Mlsnnderslandlotr. It Is very bard for me to understand how my friend conld have written the editorial appearing In the Press and Banner of yesterday entitled "Mr. Moutgomejy's much Feeling," unless you were suffering lrom an attack of dyspepsia. Your artlole does Mr ( Montgomery great injustice, and aa I know you to be a generous man. who would not , unnecessarily hurt the feelings of another, I believe that you will make proper apology for It. i rne iacuare mai none or air. rauunuuini operatives at Pacolet bad loot "husbands, , children and other kindred." None of them | were In danger at the time that Mr. Montgomery secured the services of the negro , drowned and other* to endeavor to save property which was being washed away. I be- | lleve you will agree wltb me tbat It would | have been reprehensible Id tbe extreme of , him If he had not made every effort tbat i could be made to save the property of tbe { stock-holders. I know whereof I speak when j I tell yon that Mr. Montgomery has shown , as much Interest and care for bis operatives as any man ooald have. At Gainesville be bad given moat liberally to tbe aid of those < of bis operatives wbo bad been lojored. He , has done likewise at Paoolet for tbose who will be temporarily oat of employment. 1 None of tbe Pacolet operatives lost a dollar i except snob loss as Is Incident upon a few , days idleness. Ever slnoe the disaster which wonid appall most men, Mr. Montgomery 1 has given a considerable portion or bis time i to arrange fgr the transportation of bis employsea to other places wbere tbey may secure work, ' Very few men have bad such disasters to i come upon them in ten dayB as Mr. Mont- . ftAmavo Kom KoH ITahaa K/vrn a nn vaII tin. Uer It, but neoessarlly shows the effect of it. ' It will oome particularly bard to bim for I those wboabonldbebls friends to receive of ; blm suoh impressions aa tbey would receive by reading your editorial. 1 My letter of course Is personal, but I know < J 1 yon sufficiently well, aa I stated, at tbe outaet, to believe that on reflection yoa will feel > yon are due an apology In your columns for an editorial wblcb bad no basis except as I said at tbe ontset a dyspeptic feeling. IN ANSWER. As we oan best reply by printing tbe above, | and as we violate no oonfldenoe as long as we \ , withhold tbe name of tbe writer, we print It i Since writing tbe article above referred to , we learn tbat we were laboring under a mis- ( , apprehension as to faots. We tbougbt then , tbat the death of soores of others occured In one of Mr. Montgomery's mills, if not in tbe same one in which tbe negro lost his life. As we understood tbe situation then, we attempted to call the attention of tbe Cbronlol# ( to what fuwmwl to be not a well rounded re port. We thought to do tbls in tbe least ob- , jeetlonable way, wltb never a tboagbt at tbe , time tbat onr language could be oonstrued , as a reflected on either Mr. Montgomery or | tbe reporter. We, too, bave been mlBDnderstood, bat It can go at tbat. Tbe Soatb Carolina State Press Association Is soon to meet. As matters of general Interest are to be discussed, we should suggest: First?How mnob padding and bow mucb self-praise Is wise or expedient on sacb occasions as tbe reporting of tbe flood, tbe deatb and tbe destruction tbat so reocntly occurred In Spartanburg? Seoond?Wby is it tbat city editors and tbeir employee! bo often resort to ill-mannered personalities wltb their oountry brethren, and ?o 1 frequently exhibit a lack of ability to dis- * eosg a subject with tbem? ' Third?Admitting that all city editors are great, and ooncedlng tbat they sbonld look at ooantry editors through tbe wrong end of tbe telescope, upon what grounds can the city editor Justify himself for failure to be olvil to tbe less pretentions brother? I Fourtb?May a man be a gen tleman, though l an editor? After Forty-Wine Years. Rev. Henry Qnigg, D. D.,' of Conyers, Geor- < gla, passed through Abbeville on bis way home last week from tbe Due West Commencement He went to tbe scene of his college days to take part In tbe unveiling ceremonies of tbe Qrier Monument, which bad been erected to bis old friend, tbe Rev. W. M. Orier.D. D. Dr. Qulgg is well preserved in body, and in bis beart and mind be is as j young, as cheerful, and as hopeful as be was when be was In college fifty years ago. A little more than fifty years ago ne came to Era- I klnelresh from Ireland. His large form, bis * genial nature, bis Irish broque and his repar- , tee, made bim a conspicuous figure, and all < the boys loved the young Irishman who has since filled such an Important place In the church. It bad been forty-nine years sinoe I the Irish student and the printer boy bad ( met. t He now has troops of children and grandchildren to make glad the days of blm whose | son baa already gone so far toward the west- i era horizon. May happiness and good health, i the beat things this slde.tbe River, go with j blm to the brink. I I Landslide. At Tryon, a station between Spartanbnrg and Asbevllle, on the Southern, a landslide, < Including thousands of tons of rock and earth, closed a out one hundred feet deep. 1 Weeks will be required for clearing thetraok.

Miss Ellison the Art teacher of the Female College has bad her pictures on exhibition , since Thursday afternoon. This Is Miss Ellison's first year la Due West and sb> has made many friends. We are no art crlti but we ooold not Bee anything wrong with the . display and every one else was making complimentary remarks. , Friday night tbe Stringed Instrument Club gave a recital. It was under the direction of Miss Ellison and therefore good. Saturday night the graduating exercises of , the Theological Seminary took place. The four graduates, Mr. J. L. Boyd, Mr. R. W. McDanlel, D. P. Preflfley and Mr. J. W. Simpson read papers which showed that muoh time and thought had been put on them. , * Dr. Pressley's address to the class was short and impressive and showed muoh feeling. j Rev. J. 8.

A beautiful anthem was rendered by the choir and every one was delighted with the sermon. Rev. B. H. Urler preached to the Btudents 0/ tbe Seminary Sabbath evening. I On Monday afternoon the Amellan Society ( held a most pleasant meeting. Tbe Alumnae of tbe society were present and added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. In addition to tbe programme furnished by tbe Society. Miss Luna Trlbble tbe Alumnae Essayist, read a most beautiful and appropriate essay. Tbey served "A. R. P. Puncb."

(. : < 1 < Change of Venne. The attorneys of James H. Tillman have given notice of Intention to apply for an order to have his case transferred from Klcbland to another County. It appears to us that tbose who think be can get a fair trial In Columbia desire his convection. Those wno are employed to defend seem to Have fears that the trial may not be as free from prejudice as they could wish. If sentiment is not to be a factor, It seems tbat one county would be as well, in which to try him, as another. In some ooun. ties it might be tbat Tillman oould be convicted on the evidence already published in the newspapers. In other counties there might be a division of sentiment and a conviction could not be so easily had. ? "Mr. J. C. Garllngton has retired from the Bdllorlal management of the Spartanburg Herald and will devote his time and bis energy to the Carallna Spartan, wdlcb he recently purchased from Capt. Charles Petty. In leaving the newspaper with wblcb he baB been actively Identified for thirteen years, Mr. Garlinicton carries with blm the record of splendid work, uot only for bis own properly, bat for the upbuilding of Spartanburg. He will take charge of one of the best and oldest newspapers io tbe state. It thrived under the able direction of Cspt. Petty, the dean of tbe newspaper fraternity of Spartanburg, and It will grow and prosper In young; and vigorDas bands. Mr. Oarllngton's retirement will be a distinct loss to dally Journalism In Sontb Carolina. Asanedltor.be Is able and fearless, and what Is best of all, he has the courage of bis convictions. Tbe Press and Banner agrees to all tbe Sreenvllle News has bo well and so truthfully laid In the above paragraph. A more honorible or a fairer editor Is not within tbe circle jf our acqualntrnce. Tbe cause of his removal from tbe Herald Is no doubt stated In these words : "He has tbe courage of his jonvlctlons." We can conceive of no other reason why be should leave the paper which be has established. If he bad been a tlmelerver, or bad failed to express his opinion of men and things be might have been still on the Herald. If tbe Pres. and Banner bad >een a stock company this editor would do Soubt have been retired years ago. It is a pity that so good an editor aa Mr. Garllngton lid not own the paper whlcb be edited. Acquitted, of Course. A polloeman In Union was Monday aoaultted of tbe charge of murder. He had lone nothing worse than nbootlng a negro In Lbe back. It took tbe jury only seven minutes to render tbe verdlot. The negroes, It Is laid, were thought to be gambling, when iome of them ran from the bolldlng on tbe approach of tbe police. The testimony was :onfllotlng. A Possible Call for Mr, Ewart. Whether It is a Joke or not. It has been suggested that Upper Long Oane Congregation might call tbe Rev. W. C. Ewart to their pastorate, and that they would offer him fl.OOO lalary, a good bouse to live In, and all tbe Irewood be ooold burn. And the congregation does not objeol to the slngl ng of Psalms. The King and Queen of Servla were assasilnated last week, and a Dew King has been instilled. Toe authorities wisely omitted the treat long name which nobody oould proaounoe, and oalled him Peter, lor short. It la ew King Peter. Taking Drinks. The Governor of North Carolina was In Colombia recently. The Oovernor of t?outh Carolina offered him a drink?of water. And they drank together, and "sang of Annie Laura." Didn't Come. The break In the Railroads kept several distinguished guests from reaching Dne West In time for the commencement. New Arithmetic.

Lloyd, of Montoursville, Pa., relates the following interesting reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln : , "I saw Abraham Lincoln for the first time in the winter of 1863, at one uln rononHnnn. T WAS 001V IUI U1B puvnu lvvwpv*wMw. ? _ a child, but bad heard so much of Abraham Lincoln that I had a sort of vague idea that he was not a mere maa, but some kind o' a divinity, and naturally, I was anxious to see him. I was therefore permitted to accompany my father, who was then serving as chief clerk of the House of Repret- . ; sentatives, to one of the Presidential receptions. I knew nothing of public ... functions at that time, and had some sort of uotion that we would onty be ' permitted to gaZe upon the great man f from a distance. When we came to him in the line, however, and he had Greeted mv father with a few pleasant words and we were about to pass on, * ijj? the President said: 'Wait one mo* ment; I have'nt shaken bands with ? 'he little man.' He took me by the hand, patted me on the head, said a few kind words to me and we passed p on"Later in the same winter I met him again at my own home in Pennsylvania. At the beginning of the 'f; war, as a mere child, I was fired with patriotic spirit and went about the streets of my native village making speeches. I did not then know what vV$| the war meant, but I knew 'our side' 7^3? "*? oimnln huMiloa if. VM 'Ollf Woo n^Ub| oiuipij uvumviuw .v ^ side,' and my appearance on the street was a signal to get ine up on a store . 'v&Jj goods box to make a speech. My father bad related this to Lincoln, and :<i'M asked permissien to bring me to the White House. Tbis was granted, and one morning we drove there and were received by the President alone. As he arose from his chair to greet us, I remember thinking he was the longest and most ungainly man I bad ever seen. When I was presented to him he leaned down, and, taking me by ^ the hand, said : '8o this is the itiUe^fM*| patriot. Ah, Mr. Lloyd, in -these , /f^ times the boy is indeed father to the * fffc man. I wish all the men in the northr had his spirit.' "As he took me on his knee *f?d> talked to me of the war, and as I looked into his face and eaw the deep set, kindly looking eyes, the firm mou^n. about which a smile hovered, and lis- .s tened to his gentle voice, I began to J i think he was'positively handsome. ' As I look back upon the scene it brings many tender memories of the " man, who, amid all the cares and bardens of bis position, and with the.fate of a mighty natiou weighing npon his heart, could find time enough to say a few kind words to a small boy like myself. "The following Incident is >DOchW??^Blj illustration of his kindness of heart. Father t?lls the story as follows : "A . young boy who had served with distinction in a naval engagement on board the gunboat Ottawa, and in another as captain's messenger, was recommended to a cadetsbip in the /< J Naval Academy at Annapolis. This . V'i ? * Tln/vi!n w?4- : appoiUUlJCUb x Jcoiuciji jjiuww glad to make, and the lad was directed <; - ^ to report for examination in July. Just as he waa about to start from " ; bome it was discovered that be could : not be admitted, because he had not ^ reached the required age of 14, bis "} i birthday occuring the following ember. The boy was greatly disap- y i pointed, and wept bitterly, fearing' that he would not be able to go at all. ^ He was told however, that he would 4 be taken to see the president, who: n;$3 would'make it all right.'
