Is Pugilism Waning.
The knock out that Jeffreys received on
the fourth at the hands of the negro Johnson,
hut imphasizes the fact that once a
man has indulged in the soft luxuries, he
can never again attain his perfect physical
condition. Four or even three years
ago Jeffreys could have whipped any man
in the world, and his defeat is the same
old story.
The triumph of Johnson will likely give
a greater hack set to pugeliSm than all
the law and petitioning that have l>een
brought to bear to prevent this light. The
lower the flsty art descends in the scale of
respectability the less popular will it
become.
.no one neeu console mmsen, nowever,
that the spirit of pugelism is dead. The
eagerness with which men of ail ages,'
classes and conditions have awaited the
fight, and the avidity with which they
have devoured the details, round by
round, since the light, leave no mistake
. in the mind as to the real spirit of the
> masses.
Old men some with titles, some with
high up church connections even, have
followed the details of the Jeffreys Johnson
fight with as much interest as the
real sport. This only goes to show that
the 8piritof combat, which is ss old as
the human race, does not wane even in
the atmosphere of religion and*education.
' ?s The fiber in a piece of*polished mahogany
furniture is the same as that of the
. gnarled and rustic parent tree.
This relic of barbarism, will probably
be stamped out by legislation, for in this
as in proniDiuoii movements, men uiv
often afraid to speak their honest sentiments,
but the spirit of combat is .likely to
survive to the end of time.
The Greeks had just such contests in
4 their Olympic games. The Eomans, when
they had become too effeminate to engage
in such contests themselves, brought
? - . down the stalwart barbarians of the north.
"" "patted their red brown and bet their
cesterces upon their blood." Far from
improving on the conditions of ancient
times, the modern prize light, seems to bo
a distinct retrogression.
That this last fist fight has been between
a white man and a negro is deplored
throughout the south, and as much as'all
white men wished that Jeffries might have
been victorious, it is perhaps best for
public morals that the belt has descended
to the lowest strata.
The bifference.

j' Jones of Union, poisoned his wife. He
has been in jail, and his case has been in
the courts for months. He was, on trial,
' sentenced to life imprisonment at hard
labor, but he i6 still out of the penitentiary,
Allen Davis, negro, of Orangeburg,
when full of liquor, shot and killed his
wife. He was poor and had no lawyer.
> The Court went through the farce of appointing
a lawyer to defend him, and,
f . immediately without a chance to prepare
for trial, the case was called. The negro
of course was convicted of murder. He
was sentenced in May to be hanged July
1, and on the appointed day, and promptly
at the appointed hour, the negro stepped
off into eternity.
<. The white man, W. T. Jones, poisoned
his wife, the least excusable and the most
offensive form of murder. Allen Davi6
was full of liquor, and crazed by drink
and incensed byhiswifes treatment shot
her. The negro has been hung, but the
white man is still looking for some technicality
by which he may be saved from
going to the penitentiary.
The verdict of Jones, with recommendation
for mercy in committing the most
revolting crime is in contrast with the
verdict of the jury which tried the negro
for killing his wife while under the influence
of liquor.
Nothing Doing.
It is now mighty dull in Abbeville. We
have only the cotton mill, the hospital, the
library, the church organ, church ice
creams, and a few other little demands
for money. Somebody ought to get up
something to enliven the town. If something
isn't done some of our men may go
to drinking a few of the harmless drinks
at the drug stores; or they may go to
smoaking cigars.
Attractive Visitor.
Mrs. Si. Basch, of Savannah Georgia, is
visiting Mrs. M. E. Hoilingsworth.
Mrs. Batch is a lady of of most striking
and attractive personal appearanc e and a
charming conversationalist. She is sister
of Col. C, J. Purcia, of Newberry, than
whom a more whole sould, hospitable
fellow could not be found.
It Is regretted that mrs. Basch will be
here only for three short days.
The Cotton Mills and the Schools.
Both institutions have closed for a short
period. The schools closed to give the
children a rest from their studies and to
giye them a little time to play. The cottoil
mills shut down their machiney for a
much shorter time than the schools were
closed. As a rule men and women who
work ten hours every day In the year,need
a little rest. All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy.
A great parade has been made about the
closing of the cotton mills for a short
time. This, no doubt, to scare the proposed
builders of new mills. The fact is,
that some of the mills needed repairs that
could not be well done with the mills in
operation. And then all men and ltoys
need a rest, whether they are in a cotton
mill or at school. It is presumed that no
one will discourgage the opening of new
schools because of the vacation in the old
schools.
Hook Worm Lecture.
Dr. J. LaBruce Ward, of Georgetown,
will lecture to the teachers on Friday
evening, July 29th, in the auditorium of the
High School building on the subject of
Hook Worms. Everybody is invited to
attend. The lecture will lie free. Dr.
Ward will use the lantern slides to illustrate
his subject.

L
RETURNED MISSIONARY
REV. NEIL E. PRESSLY, D. D., OF MEXICO,
TO CONDUCT SERVICES.
It is Hoped that He May Tell of the Interesting
Work in Tampico, and the
Operations of the "Native Workers."
(Contributed.)
1 It, is said that Dr. Noil E. Prossly will
conduct religious services in the A. R. P.
Church next Sunday?morning and night.
He will no doubt give an interesting account
of hi? missionary labors in Mexico.
He is a zealous and active laborer in the
Master's vineyard, and wo have no doubt
that he co.id tell us how the "native workers"
are enabled to "work" usQUtof the
great sums that are credited to them. It
is well known that "work" or "worked" or
"workers" have two very distinct meanings.
The minutes of Synod leave-us to
infer what is meant by "native worners.
It is certain, however, that it looks to the
uninformed as if the "native workers" in
Mexico are very successfully "working"
us.
As we understand, we are maintaining
five schools and a hospital for the free education
of young Mexicans, while we are
furnishing a hospital for the care of rich
Mexicans. From advertisements it will
be seen that two of our missionaries are
among the faculties of two of these schools.
It would be interesting to know if preach,
ers out in Mexico do as our preachers do at
home, namely: Hold half dozen oflices, if
they can get that number, or more.
It might'be well for the good missionary
to give us his opinion of building S10,000
and $15,000 school houses and churches for
which school houses and churches we furnishing
teachers and preachers for a people
who have never contributed a dollar for
Synodical purposes. And then the Doctor
might give his opinion of the propriety of
taxing this people to keep up orphanages
and hospitals in Mexico when our own orphans
and sick have not been cared for. It
would also be interesting if the missionary
would tell us what ho thinks of our dealing
hardly with students at Due West,
while we are furnishing free education,
free board and free medicine for needy
Mexicans. It would-be interesting if the
good Doctor would tell us if he thinks we
deal justly in withholding that charity at
home which is given lavishly in Mexico.
The Doctor could make most interesting
statements of facts that have been so long
concealed from the people. The minutes
give very sparse information about anything,
except the needs of Mexicans. And
all discussions, except begging for Mexicans,
are carefully excluded from the
church paper.
it must De a matter ui grauuiuuuu iui
Associate Reformed Presbyterians to see
their missionaiy again among6t thorn, and
it is well for the Mexican missionary cause
that he comes back to the- native land. If
he should stay away the increasing demand
of the people for a transfer of the
Mexican mission to the natives might
sooner prevail than it otherwise would.
We presume that it cannot be doubted that
there is an element in the church that is
more or less alarmed at the increasing
number of men and women whom the people
of the church must support, and where
no proper effort has been made to show
that the results have been in keeping with
the cost. The native "workers" seem to
bo getting their inning.
Dr. Pressly's comfiig is timely. He will
no doubt be able to satisfy the dissatisfied
membership, and thus postnone to a later
date the transfer of the Mexican Presbytery
to the "native workers," when our
missionaries must come home, where their
services are so much needed by the Church.
And we have no doubt that Dr. Pressly
will take pleasure in giving such facts as
will satisfy all doubtors of the propriety of
taxing home mission churches for the benefit
of Mexicans.

that sale.
Finds it a Big Thing.
Prof. W. R. Bradley, who has been, elected
superintendent of the Abbeville Scuools
is now in Knoxville at the Summer School
of tho South. He went there to see if
there was anything about teaching that he
did not know. He had been teaching so
successfully for so many years in Abbeville,
and had spent so much time in the
Philippines, that he may have thought that
he knew it all. Here is what he writes
back: (
Summer School of the South,
Knoxville, Tenn., Juno 30, 1910.
This summer school affair out here is a
bigger thing than I thought. The 2100
teachers and lecturers make up a body of
well educated, polite, and pleasant people.
There are lecturers here from Europe and
America?the best.

TEN THINGS TO DO IN JULY
1. Lay-by all crops in the right
way?with level and shallow cultiva- |
tion. The old ridging, root putting
methods have cost the South millions
of dollars. Don't lay-by too soon, and
be Hire to plant peat between corn |
as far as practicable. i
2. Don't let your stubble lands loaf. I
Put tlietn to growing cow peas or
soy beans a>? quickly as possible now. "
;?. Haul up grain or thresh just as ]
oou as it becomes dry enough. If j
straw is stacked outside, put it up so
that it will keep dry and sound. i
4. If you have a permanent mead- i
ow, take care of the hay crop. Don't 1
cut two much at a time, ami don't delay
cutting until the seed have ripened j
and the stems become hard and dry. '
5. Clean up the weed patches about ,
the bam aud feed lots and along the ]
roadsides, ditches and terraces.. The
mower, scythe aud mattock will do i
iheir best work along this line these
hot days.
(J. Look after the hogs.* To thrive
now they must have pure water, plen- |
ty of feed, clean quarters and shade.
Filth to eat or ot live in is a greal; pro- :
nioter of cholera and other diseases. <
7. Keep the garden going and eat .
less meat and more fruit and vegata- ;
bles. Arrange to have fresh vegatables
all through the fall and winter, as far ,
as possible, aud canned or preserved i
where fresh can not he had. !
8. See that there are screens to the
doors aud windows to keep out dis 1
ease-carryiug flies, aud at least one .
cool shaded place about the house .
where the housekeeper and children
can go to rest. i
9. Take an occasional half-day's or
day's ouling aud give your wife aud <
children the same privilege. Eat a
picu'c dinner now and theu and let (
f liu fnlbo" itof o rouf frnm t 'H?
hot work in the kitchen. That Ageless
cooker will be a godsend to your <
wife dow.
10. After the crops are laid by, give
your lime to stirring up your neigh- ,
bors about thiutjs tbat will help the j
neighborhood. Get a Farmers' Institute
aud an Institute for Farm Worn- ]
eo; start some plan for better roads; get
up a petition for rural mail delivery, .
and for farm demonstration work, it .
you haven't them already; see if you
cau'tgeta rural telephone system: if 1
your school is poor, agitate local taxaton
or consolidation of districts, and
see if you cannot get more good newspapers
and farmers' bulletins into the <
homes of your neighbors. 1

In my early days I was a reporter 01
["he Clarion Call. Only a dlsliko to own
mystslf beaten and the occasional fascinalon
which ccr;p?nsatcd for the more frojuod
6 discomfort kept mo in the office.
3ut all this was beforo tho day I waa Kent
0 interview ths wifo and daughter of the
nan who had just disturbed society bj
iisappearing from it.
Mr. Grey, eo 16 had bcon learned from
ihe notices concerning his disappcaranco,
rod ono evening aftor dinner gono out for
1 Btroll around the block. He had never
wine back. His family was of courBe
prostrated after the manner of families on
iuch ead occasions. After giving him
iimo to come back, sending to his clubs,
lis office and tho houses of his friends hi>
yife had finally lold his lawyers, and sya;emihio
search was begun. Tho family
lad retired from publio lffe and denied
ihemsolves to every one, consequently
ziy ciiances for an interview with Mrs.
jicy did not see hopeful, but tho city edtor's
air of granting mo tne opportunity
t Jiad'bcen longing for made me loath to
admit my fears.
I took tho train for tho Greys' ?they
lived a little way out of town?and prepared
myself to meet the servants' scorn
i,nd tho other attendant evils of such an
issigninent. Tho coach was an ordinary
>ne, and there were several laboring men
n it, evidently traveling to some suburb
ivhcre they were to work upon tho roads,
for they carried pickaxes and shovels.
Thero sat opposite me and slightly forward
a peculiar typo of man to whom I
found mv gaze wandering every few minitos.
(His iron gray hair was thick and
rcry unevenly out. His face was coverod
with a stubbly growth of gray beard. He
ooked unwashed, unkompt and generally
anplcasant. His blue overalls wore stained
with red clay and his red flannel shirt
jpenod at tho front In a way that revealed
inything but a beautiful neck, burned
md blistered. But the man's twitching
lips and convulsive movements of the jawi
ittractod my attontion, and his deep set,
steely fclue eyes that burned in cavernous
sockets fascinated me. He did not talk to
she other men, but sat with his head sunk
upon his breast, only occasionally raising
it to cast a look about him. He, with the
jthor laborers, loft the train at Forestvllle,
whero tho Qreys lived, and I soon saw
them, undor the diroction of a foreman,
issigned to make various road repairs.
Of course Mrs. Grey would not Bee ma
[ sat in the library while tho servant toofc
oiy card to her, for there were other caHeri
In tho drawing room. Over tho mantel
hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey,
lone in oil. Sho was as beautiful as a
cameo and as hard. Opposite hor was the
portrait of a clean shaven man, with fine
Iron gray hair brushed off his forohead?a
moro plebeian cast of countenance, but
strong and Interesting. The face seemed
familiar. I stared at it until the servant
returned.
"Mra Grey is sorry, miss, but Bhe can
?e no ono, and has nothing to say fox
publication."
"Very woll," said I. Then I rose to go
"Is that Mr. Grey?" I asked, nodding
toward tho picture.
"Yes, miss," was the reply, and sudJenly
it flashed upon me wjhero I had seen
those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blue

mouth. I took one long look at the portrait
and left the house.
The men were repairing the road, and 1
noticed one of tho workmen whose face
startled me. The resemblance to the portrait
I had seen of Mr. Grey waa remarkable.
Ho worked with a fierce delight is
Iho severe labor. His face seemed more
mail than ever, with the exultation of motion
and strength deepening the gleam in
his eyes.
There was a telegraph office at tho end
>f tho street. I sent a message to the city
>ditor. "Sond a man to Forestville at
mce," waa my command. Then while I
pacod the street and walked about the
jquaro I reflected upon the welcome I
would receive if I had made a mistake.
Every minute I became mo ? and more
jonvinccd thai". I had mado the most oolos
jal blunder on record. Ey the time Mr.
Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who
happened to bo available when my telegram
was received, had arrived I was
nearly hysterical. I told Mr. Ellsworth
my theory, and ho waa proporly skeptloal.
Ho discouraged me thoroughly In about
>wo minutes, but I suddenly rallied.
"Well." I remarked, takine command,
"I want you to keep that man in eight I
shall go to town and get his lawyer. Find
}ut what train they go in on, and I'll
moot you."
Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to act upon
that suggestion, but ho finally consented
Jo do so. I went in, summoned Mr.
3roy's lawyor and with him met the
tvorkingruen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, looking
borod and unhappy, got out and pointjd
out our suspected "disappearance" to
iis lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth,
flfas I to be forever disgraced or made famous
forover?
"Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping
forward, "what does this mean?"
And when I saw the man start wildly I
mow that I was not forever disgraced.
"Well," said the city editor jovially,
"what did they say?"
"Thoy didn't say anything. They didn't
jee me."
"So you didn't get tho interview?" Mid
.ho Hf.v p/IiRnr shnrtlv.
"No," I replied meekly, "but Hound

.And now, such la the irony of fate, the
