Wednesday, June 17, 1908 Grand Jury Pr?*eutment. The presentment o( the (jrand Jury, bf- , pearing elsewhere In this paper, is printed by request. Most of tbe presentment items to deal wltb tbe official acts of C?pt. G N. Nickles, retiring County Supervisor. Tbe presentment charges tbut tbe convict ca r p at tbe Foor House is in unsanitary coudittou. but tbal tbis is very tnucu improved by "weatber conditions." It charges that its order to build a fence to divide tbe apurtroents oi tbe white and co ortd Inmates of tbe Poor House has not b en completed whb, but the fence is In process of construction. It charges that attention was called to several matter B in the Jail, some of wnlcb have been attended to while others have not. But -? > ?<? " onm mcmlotlnnH It fieeui*. bULUO 1/1 lUOli have been compiled with. It charges that certain of the county mules have ?ore shoulder*. It would be hard to And any farm In the county, where more than two mules are kept, that did not have mules with either sore backs or sore shoulders. It 1b well to be humane toward all the brute creation but to expect fewer accidents to stock or a higher olass of service irom con* vlct labor than the farmer gets out of bla own labor under his own eye Is unfair. But this Is not the main point; and Captain Nlckles may be guilty of all tbat is charged In the presentment, Including some disregard of the "recommendations" of the Grgnd Jury. The question might reasonably be asked, was there nothing good tbat could be said about him? Is It nothing to his credit] tbat he has built a large and comfortable brick building at the Poor Houst? Is it nothing to his credit that he has built iron br ldges, and opened new roads In every sec' "* A * tn Kin 11021 01 IDC I/O U LI IJ 7 AO lb UUlUtug vw M*o credit that he has built a magnificent Court Houbg building that is an ornament and a standing compliment to the County? Is it nothing to his credit that he has guarded the County Treasury as zealously as did the three-headed dog, Ceberus, the gates of the lowef region*; and that be has brought the County out of debt despite heavy publlo expenditures? If the Press and Banner would oritioise Captain Xickles for anything, it would be-tor \ what might be termed unreasonable scrutiny and tbaviDK of claims. This paper has Itself been denied pajmentof what we considered Just and reasonable debts against the county. We have no doubt that in some of these instances Captain Nlckles' Judgment was in error and his policy was shortsighted, but we have never questioned his honest pnrp oee to conform to the law In paying out the County funds. The meanest thing that Captain Nlckles ha*, done was not to offer for ft-election thereby giving us a chanoe to get even with him for his relentless publlo < conomy. Abbeville Honored. The recent reunion of the Confederate Veterans which was held in Birmingham, Ala., was largely attended. Not only were the N veterans present but many people who felt an interest in the cause?and tbelr name is legion?attended the reunion. AWW""'i,a orrt oil LhftL have been heard from say unreservedly tbat the reunion was larger and better than what they had expected. Oar people were honored In the appointment of Miss Mamselle Norwood as sponsor from this State to the reunion. She was ap- i pointed by Mr. J. M. Jordan, AdjQtantfor South Carolina. Mr. Jordan made no mistake Id hli seleo- l tloD. In the person of Miss Norwood we | have one of the most cultured and refined | young women of the country. She Is the personification of our Ideals and will refleot ( credit and honor not only on as but on the State which It Is her fortune to represent. . Miss Norwood appointed as her maid of honor to the reunion Miss Bonbam, of Anderson, whose praise we could slDg on and ' ou and never a truth astray. ! MIbs Norwood expectB to visit friends In Alabama before returning. Miss Norwood has many friends throughout the South who | are congratulating her ou her appointment, i We congratulate the South Carolina Veterans ] ou their sponsor. < ?' l The Acquittal of Sellers. An alleged blind tiger in Columbia, not bo long ago, shot and killed a constable who forcibly entered hIs house for the purpose, it 1 1b Bald, of searching It. Kicking th?.foor 1 open Sellers shot him deg? as he entered. ' The world was greatly shocked. On trial for ! ?billing iTwas proven tbat the Constable had not conformed to all the requirements of the law that would authorize him to forcibly enter the home of another. The question | as to*be respectability or the standing of a t citizen does not enter Into this case. A man's house Is blb castle, and he has the right to protect the home, using all'the force at his ( oommand, except, of oourse, when an offloer has complied with all the forms of law. Not having the required authority Farmer had aright to take whatever oame to him. The Jury did right in not convlctlDg Sellers. If we are not in error there Is too much disregard for the rights of the citizen. He should shoot and kill, if necessary, those who would e without complying with all requirements of 6 the law, attempt to kick down the door of his house and enter forcibly. The house, be ' It ever 80 uumoie, is enuuea 10 me proiec- Uon of the law, and he who would, without the proper papers, eoter should take wbat ' he gets. Sellers may be a very bad man, but c he had the right to protect hlB house from unlawful and forcible entry. Sellers did right In killing the man who would beat down the door of his house and enter against < his protest. The character of Sellers's business gave no man the right to make ] forcible entry, unless, of course, the oUlcer ' had proper papers. The habit of dlare- ' gardlng the rights of the citizen In his own i house is too common. Unlawful and forcible entry should forfeit the life of the intruder , President R. S. Galloway ol the Due West l Railway, and his son, Mr. Robert Galloway, 1 Jr., were In the olty Monday. Mr. Galloway baa more energy than a mogul eDglne with a 200-pound head of steam. He Is always alive to Due West and Its interests. It Is largely through his coo- ( stant endeavors that Due West has a railroad J that Is running so successfully. 8 The greatest praise that we can give Mr. Galloway, however, and we can give it unreservedly, Is this, Mr. Galloway Is a good man, a tower of strength In his church, and a power for good in his community. If this ? were true of all men we would be very near s the Millennium. A g w Extracts Irom tbe PreBB and Banner that is sent out Irom home in the morning may appear in tbe Mall of tbe evening or tbe same day. If that isn't making the Mall up to telegraph and telephone, what is it? w . I a We see that one of our neighboring banks d bave something to say about "devel-op- a manL" | f,' i Fooling the Boys. j Tbe president, or the discipline committee if Clemson College are now on tbe back rack. It seems that light has dawned on r( lomebody atClemson, and tbat the auinorileB have found out that the .boys who were ixpelled because of ihelr absence from class ]{ >n April Fool day, have been sufficiently h punished. If the authorities had kept their j wits, they would have known at tbe time ^ tbat expulsion was too severe punishment. Q It Is certain In our mind tbat tbe ootlege ^ authorities commuted an lnexcusuble outrage on the tax paying people of tbe SUte in c Bending the boys home for sosmallan oQenoe e Tba offence of the boys w*s as nothing as to t uncalled for action of the coll ge authorities, j \ self respecting Legislature thiuld 1 >ok j Into the matter ^ It Is, we b?llevp, meant to still further bum- ( lllate tbe boys by requiring them to crawl , back on tbelr ft tmachs to tl ose who have ( mistreated them. This requirement of tbe obllege authorltlves Is oo a par with tbe , action of tbe man who knocked another ( onH (.vii/ilcil on kl/.cfo K/ifnro 1(*flinC7 bis fallen foe up. H ipp for William Hilly. 1 It Is said that there Is a poNsiblllty of Mr. ! Watson of Ge rgla returning to tbe Dein<oratlc fold, wltb the view of running on William B.llys ticket for President. Our public spirited citizen Mr. O. A. Vlaanska says tbat all will be forgiven If Mr. Watson will come to tbe resoue of Billy. We thoroughly agree with Mr. Vlsanska, and will be gl id to note ilbe fact of Watson's btlp for tbe "Peerless one." From present Indications William Billy will have all Ibe votes be wants at Denver, bat tbe real tug of war will be In Nov., Unless Tom Watson does something for tbe "Peerless One." Bill Taft may run ofl wltb tbe votes In November. Heart Id tbe Right Plaee. Editor Hugh Wilson baa had some girls guessing at bis age, and bought them some candy becnuse they did not guess oorrectiv.

A whole lot of "astronomical" ether has jcently appeared la print about tbecentealal of Jeff Divls. la their deecrlptlons tbe writers usually lacked a long way of painting a words ibe true estimate in wbicb he was eld by many an old OoDfelerate soldier, eff DivIb was an able maD. He was buiieaded, eel f willed, and cared little for tbe ouDsel oi bis friends. He was Incorruptible. le waj amMtlom. Hi would have sacrlIced everything for the coveted oiown. Kxapt la man at aaxlety, be suffered less than lid any Confederate soldier. He bad a miliary heart whcb military heart was lacking u * flection a id consideration for tbe soldi, i'a fell' Davis's oarrlage horses were sleek and veil fed, while bis soldiers licked fo id and ilotblne. ills servauis t ired well and dressed I'cely. wil'e his old so'dter*. having lnlulllcieiu c olblug were i xi>osed to the w<aber, tbe ralo, the be ttaad tbe cold, a.id had to lie down 0:1 the ground wlihont oiler nverlng than tbe clouds or the over hanging Binopy. Jell D ivls's do^s had good kennels In wh^cb Its.eep. Tdry were well red from their li asLars table. His soldiers were hungry, footsore and sul>J^ct to all the hardships of u poor iy equipped array. ItinnkesuB tired to hatr "astronomical" word palatlDg and misdirected praise ol Jeff Davis to the neglect or those wbo^ b ire tbe brunt of battle, and suffered all. Jeff Davis was no doubt In detd earnest about winning a princely orown tor himself. It Is known that even after bis armies bad surrendered in Virginia and North Caro.lna that he wanted to organ zj a hopeless flgbt to make other widows and orphans In Abbeville. Lee and Johnson had surrendered, facing the foe. They did not seek safety in flight, but they bravely showed their willingness to take the consequences. . When Jefl Davis proposed to flgbt at Abbeville, he was on his westward flight from tbe pursuing enemy. Except to kill a few more men he waB obliged to know thattno good conld oome from tne proposed flgbt at tbls place. As we all know and ns he admits In bis .book, be was captured in bis wiles reglan and ber shawl. Tbe Confederate soldier was generally captured with his gun In bis hand while bla face aDdnotbls back was to the froDt. They had neither shawls nor raglans with which to hide their Identity. Jeff Davis was pat In prison, bat he suffered no more than did thousands of his soldiers In Northern prisons. Mr.Davl8.no doubt had In him the elemenls which commanded great respect from some, while be bad in him those qualities which antagonized other meo. We have not a word of censure for Mr. Da vis, be no doubt did all that he oould. But he was not tbe whole war. There were others who had something to do with that great struggle which commands tbe admiration of tbe world. All the glory should not centre in one man. There were legions of men who fought, suffered, and died for Southern rlgbts Lee and Johnson went down facing the foe. Davis was caught in Qeorgla while runDlng. We would not rob Mr. Davis of a single dl> idem tbat may sparkle in his orown of glory But we deny tbat be was tbe whole war. rhere were others. Hugh Wilson. A great musical treat was offered tbe people if Abbeville in the piano and organ recitals given by Prof. Saul last week. Pror. Saul was Induced to come to Abbeville tbrocgh tbe tlndly efforts of Prof. Huguelet, wbo bag cast n bis lot wltb db, and wbo opens up wltb incb favorable prospect*. Prof. Saul 1b a great pianist, and unusual as t may be, be is a great organist as well. It 1b are tbat specialists will attempt recitals on >otb tbe piano and organ, and It has never )een our pleasure to bear a better performance tban be gave us on botb Instruments. We could not help but reoall tbat somewhat loted artlole "How Reuben PUId," while 11*enlng to Professor Saul. We followed bim brougb thunder, lightning and rain.

Another movement,another ripple if the keys and we saw the sky olear, the alntow came out and we oould almost hear be merry ohlrp of the bird that sings his first ymn after the shower. Saul played as Renen did. He-caught up his listeners and lOlded them as he would by hla sovereign btllty. Ills perfect execution, bis rapid lovements, were hat index fingers pointing > the master spirit of music that welled up i his sonl. We trust that he may soon come gain, and that more of the people of Abbeille will hear him. Application for Bail. It Is understood that application for ball 111 be made tomorrow before Judge E.
