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

been attended to while others have not. But

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. <

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

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

all will be forgiven If Mr. Watson will come

with Mr. Vlsanska, and will be gl id to note

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

and sul>J^ct to all the hardships of u poor

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>

Induced to come to Abbeville tbrocgh tbe

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

)een our pleasure to bear a better performance
tban be gave us on botb Instruments.
We could not help but reoall tbat somewhat
