MOFFATT DRAWS CONCLUSIONS lis ' Editors Press and Banner: s The article of Mayor Sherard of Anderson in reference to the working of ,n prohibition in that city impresses me 'n with several things: P> 1. It seems to show that the aboliQ" stion of the dispensary is not followed k by a great and injurious prevalence of P" blind tigers. It furnishes convincing b* evidence of the contention that when the officers are in earnest and do their Bt duty, the law making liquor selling r? illegal can be enforced as well as any other law. a 2. It gives satisfactory proof that t- prohibition largely decreases the consumption of strong drink among the g people. The drop from 60,000 to 80,000 k gallons a year down to"5-5,000 gallons a r* year is a pretty considerable slump in r- liquor drinking, and who will deny it that Aniiorsrtn nnunf.v in nr?t t.hn hotfpr ,e for the slump. g 3. It makes evident the fact that prohibition promotes good order n among the people. The cases in the *1 Mayor's court decreased from 1440 under the dispensary to 634 under prohiy bition; the cases of drunkenness, from >r 775 to 257. Mayor Sherard surely has grounds y for saying: "Prohibition is working l~ successfully in Anderson. It is bringing about a moral uplift among many people." i- Why should we not enjoy these de1 sirable results In AbbeviUe county ? J. 8. Moffat t. Is ?r o Points from Mayor Sberard's Letter in d the Anderson Mail. SELECTED. d In view of the fact that in half the y counties of the State there is to be an election on the question of dispensary is or prohibition, to be held next month, v it is well to look into the manner in which prohibition works in the dry '? counties. it A n/lAfann fa Arin r\f fhn lorrVDaf niiUViDWU AO VUU tuv UJVOV D populous counties, and the city of An0 derson is on? of the largest and wealthe jest in the State. The city and county ,r of Anderson have heen dry for three 2 years, and many people have written * to Mayor Sherard for information as to ,r the practical working of the probibiD tion law. From bis reply we take the a following: ? The number of cases in the police ? court for the last year of the dfspeno sary was 1,140, of which 775 were for e drunkenness. Foikthe. first year of prohibition the total number of cases was 634, of which 257 were for drunkP enness. Since that time, according to the citp directory, the population has D increased 33 per cent, woile the number of police caseB have not so ina creased, and the number of drunks r- has not kept pace with the increase in 18 population. The records show that g the number of all cases has been reduced 56 per cent, and the number of drunks 67 per cent., under prohibition. Besides, says Mayor Sherard, the namlt ber of petty offences incident to liquor ntitAorin/v vnm/lnlonn on/1 f K a 11 Irn 0 ?swcaiiugi iunujioui( auu iuo line-? B have been very lately reduced. ? From tbe record of sales in the disj; pensary, and from the records of the g express office, it is seen that appfoxij mately $100,000 less i?* being spent in e the city of Anderson now for whiskey g than when tbe dispensary was in opv eration. Mr. Bberard did not take q into consideration the sales of $18,708 ^ at the Pendleton dispensary, estimating that this amount of whiskey is t brought in by express to other places [j> in tbe county. , In the matter of revenue, Mayor 0 Bberard shows that the loss was, $14,0 470, as over against the $100,000 saved to the peop'e. Where then is the loss ? e he asks. j As to violations, the Mayor frankly h admits there are violations of tbe law, > as there are violations of every other ,1 law on the statute books, but affirms that it is not difficult to secure a cony viction, where there is evidence. q The foregoing are only a few extracts 0 from Mayor Bherard's public letter. Tbe document is filled with the most y important and encouraging informaj tiou to prohibitionists, and it would be well for tbe men who are leading the lt fight In the wet counties to write to Mr. Bberard for a copy of it, and have it published in the qounties. It has been shown over and over again that the stock arguments against , prohibition are fallacious. Blind-tiger' ism is a disease of the liquorites and is 0 a bogy, a scarecrow, held before the ir timid, to say nothing of the serious in* 4 dictment sgainst the police and other e officials, to whom will Jbe fen trusted the [8 execution of \the prohibitory law: y A vote for prohibition is a vote for good morals, anyway. ,e Respectfully, ^ Opposerof Intoxicating Liquor. >f -? it b The Abbeville Insurance 1 and Trust Cc. t q Notwithstanding the Dull Times Have d Been Turning Things in the Real Estate Market. n Within the last forty days tbey have y sold a 200 acre plantation near Troy for it $2,000; 10 acres in Abbeville for $1,500; e 30 acres in Abbeville for $2,000; a iiouse ie and lot in Abbeville for $2,000; a buildie ing lot in Abbeville for $600; an auction sale of lots to colored people, sellie ing 40 lots at an average of $40 per lot. ir If you have any real estate to sell, or wish to buy either city property or c- farm lands, see them.

ANSEL Magistrate D. H* Towels has wrltte the followiDg to Gov. Ansel in refe ence to the liquor situation in low* Colleton. This letter will prove inte estlng reading, but there are those wfc will conclude that Magistrate Towe uses rather extravagant language i describing condition?, or that he fat cies conditions are going to be muc womb down there than ever before. I eitheh event the duty of the Magistral is plain and be will doubtless do hi duty. It would possibly.be better fc him to exhaust his power as Magi trate and then call upon the Goverac for assistance. But this letier followi Meggetts, 8. C., July 12, 1909. To his Excellency, Gov. M. F. Anse Columbia, S. C. J Dear Sir?I wish to invite your al tention to a section of Colleton count as the election for dispensary or n dispensary is near at band. I wish t say that our county is being invade by what is known as so-called probib tionists (blind tigers), for I am we informed by the railroad employees o the A. C. L. railroad that whiskey and beers are now being delivered a along their lines, not by the gallor but by the barrel and car loads, would further sav that the Bo>calIe prohibitionist is lookiog to the 17th c August as our school children are loot ing for Christmas. I suppose yo have ween by the papers of last wee! what has happened by what is gene rally known as blind tigers, or so-call ed prohibitionist. Now, Governor, wish to say that 1 am not in favor c whiskey being sold in any way, as am sure that it is not needed by an; u.an or woman's needs, for I wish t state that all men who know me knoi that I have drank my share of th evjl when I drank it, and now fo three years or over I have not drank drop. Ityy health is better than it ha been foi; years, Therefore, I say whfa key is not needed in any one's need for existence. I will say that if we are to have pre hibition, why not suppress the evi even if it takes every dollar of th taxes collected for all purposes to\ sup press it. Now, Governor, I am fo suffering this evil as you see that w have bad in last few days two old citi zens killed from the cause of bhq< tigerism, and I ask of you, Governor if possible to appoint one hundre< constables, as 1 am certain it will tak< that many to keep the blind tiger down on the Hue of our rivers and rail roads in Colleton countv. for I fee that ninety men out of every one hqn dred in our territory should be maid constables to watch the other ten, ah< then we may have the blind tiger sdp pressed, and without we won't, for l will take from one to two men at ever? railroad station in Colleton county and the same at every steam>boa landing on our rivers, and some t< watcu the landings that sail-boats cai land at, and then keep our publi roads full of constables, and with |tha kind of fight and war against blin< tigerism we may get prohibition [t some extent, for I tell you if you don' have this many constables appointed whiskey will take the lead, and lav and order will be a thing of the past. Thanking you in advance and hof ipg you may mase inquiry irom ou representatives, and you will find am right. Your obedient servant, D. H. Towles, Magistrate. TROY. Troy, P. C.. July 28,1900.

C., June 23,1909. r_ Editors Press and Banner: " In the Press and Banner of this week I notice the item which tells of * two brothers meeting, after 43 years, at . r.;? the home of their sister, Mrs. Susan J.. Britt (nee Bouchillon), of Sandover. I have to-day a letter from one of J them (Thaddeus W. Bouchillon) telling of the reunion which was had of 1 fbe six remaining children of the late [ Joseph Leonard Bouchillon at the old home at Bordeaux, where Henry M. Bouchillon, one of the six, now lives. Be says in the letter: "We had the privilege on the 14th of ' assembling at the old homestead, the pla<*e of our birth where all were ' reared, and discussing child and girl and boyhood days while we pointed out the old familiar objects which still y remained?the old familiar stones, the n old oak trees, the old corn crib built of logs, the old harness house, the -old store house, (he bubbling spring pour.[ ing forth its water second to none, the sloping hills and depressions over which we roved and played during ': $ .. our childhood. During the noon . hours, we, with others of our kinsfolk, 2 partook of a sumptuous repast pre_ I nofo/l Kir tKo tirlfa r\t rvn * K n o Uan. V J VU UJ tuO TT1IO VI UUI UlUliiOl i-Lvii . ry; and, before we parted for the day, - >a . we assembled in the room, the si^c of JT us, our ages ranging from 62 to 81, and, u with one of Henry's daughters at the , piano, we sang the old familiar song, . "Nearer, my God, to Thee." f "This meeting of old brothers and sisters I am not able to describe. I j bad not seen Benjamin for 43 years; then he was a mere beardless boy, now '% y an old grey-headed man. He left for w bis home in Florida on the 17th. I _ will leave next week for my home In ? Mississippi." . ->M It is remarkable?the vitality, the long life and the large families which . ran with so much of the old Huguenot ' blood ihat settled at Bordeaux and , from there spread to other parts of the/ h country. Golden weddingB which i apeak of a happy home-life, were nu( merous among that people. Joseph Leonard Boucbillon? whose ' surviving children have just met each e other again at the old Bordeaux homestead, was one of three brothers, each j of whom reared a large family and re-; joiced for more than fifty years with 1 the wife of his vouth. Johu Rouchil Ion and bis wife, who weDt West and are buried in Texas, lived together over 51 years; James Sevang Bouchilj Ion and his wife, who also went West and are buried in Mississippi, lived to" gether over 57 years. Joseph Leonard \ Bouchillon and his wife lived together at Bordeaux over 52 years. I Isaac Bouchillon, a first cousin to the three brothers above named, mary ried a Quillebeau with whom be lived ; for more than 63 years. They are bur' ied in Floyd county, Georgia, where one of their children is 'still living at 83 years of age, honored and loved by , her descendants of three generations, j Mrs. Susan J. Britt, mentioned above, and her husband, the late Joseph 8. t Britt,' lived happily together for more than 55 years (to be exact, 55 years, 6 ' months and 18 days) and were the parents of seven children, all of whom are still living. The lady who was honored at Montgomery, Alabama, aa j the oldest and most ctoerlsned survival of the early days of the town, and who in December last died at 96 years of age, retaining alL her faculties to her last day (Mrs. Lucinda Hasan Fountalne), was of this Huguenot strain, transported when a little playful girl from South Carolina to Alabama. i- She was of the Covin-LeRoy blood d and a first cousin to the Bouchillon ; B brothers above mentioned. it If properly written, an account of the habits and home life of the Huguenots who settled in Abbeville county y and of the impress of their blood as ft blended by intermarriage with others u and spread into other States, contrib>i uting to what is best and loveliest in * the domestic character, would be a B most interesting chapter in the history of our Southern people.
