The confession of Reverend Clarence V. T. Rlcheson to the ruin and murder of his 6weetneart, aiiss ijinnei, is rwvuttiu? iu the extreme; but there is some mitigation in the fact that he confessed ^before trial and apparently without hope of benefiting thereby. That ministers are mortal, in fact are mere men, subject to the frailties of the flesh. If they allow themselves to depart but one step from the path of right, people have come to know. That the sin of com mission will surely follow the harboring of sinful thoughts is a law of nature. That the shame of public odium, the blasting of a oareer, fear of disgrace, worse than death, might have driven the Rever end Bicheson to do murder to conceal the more dastardly crime is conceivable. But how, after these things, he could stand lu the temple of the Most High, In the pres ence of God and man, and keep up a de cepilon, is beyond comprehension Minis ters may not always have consciences void of offense, but how, after the commission ?? /\*'o?4 ant r\f el r* tKntr non KftrKnp It Ui au v?ciu uvw vi oiu, w**v/ Vt?u u?m * v unconfessf>d, and with its blackness on the ' soul preach the gospel of purity, honesty and holiness baffles understanding. Though Beverend Bicheson's confession comes almost in the snadow of the gal lon s, there is in it a note of true penitence. Avenging conscience and not fear of death has been the actuating cause. The double crime of seduction and mur der sliould bo punished by the severest penalty of the law, but what in this case would be the severest penalty? If he were the ordinary bruit, devoid of conscience, who lives In fear only of bodily harm, then" the electric chair should be his potion. Beverend Blcheson it seems Is descended from good people. It Is fair to assume that his entire life in the ministry has not been that of the wolf In sheep's clothing? that his motives were once pure.and bit purpose holy. His calling, his environ ment should have tended to the cultiva tion of whatever good there may have been in him. His confession evidences the awakening of conscience. Then it would - seem that the greatest punishment that could be meted out to him would be to clothe him in a felon's stripes, and let him live tormented by the lashings of con science until death by natural causes. The humiliation and labor of convict service will do as nothing. The ever present face of his victim, her prayer and pleading to Vsave her honorably from the shame be had wrought, her dying agonies from the dead ly potion he had given?these crowding tl- i-J I? AL* J?-U /v# Akn ili lu mo uiiiiu iu uuc uitia. uuuid vi m> nlght would make his lot more terrible than death, a place more to be dreaded than hell Itself. Not In mercy, but to sat isfy to the fullest the demands of justice the Reverend Richeson should be allowed to live?to live to pray for death. Bride and Groom Received. One Of the most pleasant social affairs that the people of Abbeville have enjoyed this season was the reoeptlon given by Mr. and Mrs. J, Hayne McDill on last Tues day night in honor of the home-coming of Eon. J. Fraser Lyon and his beautiful young bride, formerly Mies Kathleen Qreeriypood. In the face of bad weather ' many friends were present to greet the happy pair. Mr. and Mrs. MoDill were assisted in re ceiving by Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Milford, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Greene, Mr. and Mrs. T. Q. "White and Mrs. Belle Alston. Guests were shown first into the recep tion room to meet the bride. This room was a "thing of beauty," tastily decorated in Englishjlvy and white narcissus. The ball was decorated in ivy and pamsetties. Refreshments, a buffet supper with wine, were served in the dining room. The dec oration of this room was unique and ex ceedingly beautiful. Long^eftf.-pine hung in drooping festoons arountf the-walls jof the room, making a continuous wreath. Refreshments were served by Mioses Mary "RnuUnv Mftrwr?t Knnritav and Mnrv Hodges. Cards were taken by Misses Mary Aiken and Kate McDill. Punch was served by Miss Louise McDill, assisted by some of her lady friends. On "Wednesday night, the happy couple were given a delightful entertainment by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Greene. Others were anxious to entertain them, but owing to a previous arrangement which Mr. Lyon had made to attend a cotillion in Green ville this pleasure was denied some of his friends. \ . Mrs. Lyon lived formerly in Boston, Massachusetts, but for many years she has spent her winters in Beaufort, 8. C. It I was here that Mr. Lyon met her. She is tall, stately and exceedingly beautiful. Mr. Lyon is a native of this county. He has &erved the State for two terms as At torney General, and bears the distinction of having had In hand more Important legal cases than have fallen to the hand6 of any of his predecessors. He has ac quitted himself honorably and with decid ed ability. Abbeville is proud of his ca reer and gives him the glad hand now that he has joined the Benediots. Gripped in Ice. The wealthy may travels to the utmost no i-fc nt fho Aarth and vifiws its natural scenery. Men t>lk of the cut glass chande liers of the White House, or of the Vatican, and speak of crystal palaces, but the poor est man in Abbeville had a scene brought to his door yesterday morning that all the combined beauties of earth beside could not rival. The City of Abbeville is well set In shade trees. During Monday night these were wrapped in ice, bending gracefully under the weight of the crystal burden. When the sun rose on the scene, Its rays were re flected from millions of sparkling centers, producing a scene unearthly in its beauty.

The mental faculty of picturing above and beyond the actual, the present, we term Imagination. It is the flashlight in which the plans of genius are permanent- J ly photographed. The events of history had their origin in vague imaginings. Napoleon dreamed of empire long before he gave away the crown of Spain. The mina that is not Imaginative will al ways drag close to earth?will plod under ! the weight of another's burden. On the 1 other hand, a mind that is over imagina- 1 tive will sore above things real and bring its possessor to penury. The well bal- ' anced mind reaches out beyond the known, j the actual, catches here and there an idea, i condenses it, and gives it concrete form in the mould of reason. ( The ramifications of the imaginations j that evolved the cotton gin, the iocomo- , tive, telegraphy or any oral! modern In ventions, if they could have been pre served in print would each have made a large volume of Interesting reading. Fic- ' tlcious creations of poets and novelists, multiplied far beyond the possibility of any man acquiring a knowledge of them, 1 represent only culled and digested thought j Think of the process by which these thoughts took permanent and lasting j shape, how many thoughts ro6e in the mind, were tested by reason and rejected! In the iield of literature, people of the 1 United States are growing less and less T imaginative yearly. A degree of quiet is 1 essential to active imagination. Where ] poverty or lust for gain drives a man, lit erary imagination finds no lodgment in j the mind. < Perhaps the spirit of commercialism j that characterizes Amaricans is o* itself ( sufficient to account for the decadence of American ;authorehip. That Amerioans have excelled in the field of invention is prooaoiyuue w uiub iu?t iur gtuu wni looks for tbe dollar mark Id the babbling brook, in the driving wind and even in the lightning's flash. Nothing great was ever accomplished ' that did not first have vague and indefinite existence in Imagination?a day dream, tfhen a thought, then a developed idea or plan, and then performance. Had the hnman family been without the 1 faculty of Imagination from creation's ' dawn, man's lot would be little better than 1 that of the ox. How cold and dead would i this world be without this faculty to inter- i pret the beauties of nature t Flowers that , are but food to the ox, to man ape tokens of love and eateenf. The bride carrier , them to the altar, and they are l?ld on the graves of our dear ones as the heart's teb derest expression of sorrow that may not be spoken. 1 Through tbe faculty, imagination, the orbits of the earth, moon and stars have < been fixed in tbe heavens. The idea was i conceived long before the fact was capable ; of proof. Imagination links the present, < material, with the future eternal. To the unimaginative, life holds no love, no light, ( no God. f ^ ;! County Roads* In all the counties of the Piedmont the ,1 roads are almost impassible for a loaded i vehicle. For five weeks there has been < only a few days of sunshine and muoh rain, ana toe result is tne worst roaas we have had in fifteen years, due entirely to the weather. Should the movement of fertilizer begin soon, as it is likely to begin, the roads may become even worse than they are now. It were better to delay hauling at least until tho roads are thoroughly dried out. They would then not be cut any deeper at any rate. In the condition they are in at present hoavy hauling would all but ruin them. J. P. Carey for Governor. Several men of prominence, and by acci dent from various sections of Abbeville County, were talking in the Court House here Monday. The approaching race for Governor was the topio uppermost. Dis satisfaction was expressed as to the pres ent entries, and the parties began casting about for a man who suited their tastes better. They finally agreed on Hon. Ja P. Carey of Pickens, requesting the Press and Banner to make the announcement. Major John Q. Blchard's name was altfQ mentioned. fi-fr.,. L Ther? is no doubt that Mr. Carey is. good Gubernatlonal timber. He Is not pn|y on'e of the ablest lawyers but is as Veil toe of the best men in the State. 'j; <?3" - * Rain Beaut. The News and Courier Is ready to throw away $1,000 on a rainbow, but was careful enough to limit its field of capture to the city of Charleston. We were not before Informed as to the scarcity of ralnbeaus In Charleston. During every rainy season in Abbeville the rain deers up this way just capture stacks of rain beans. They have them to throw away, and there is not a single rain deer that would not willingly send the News and Courier a sample of her conquests for less than 11,000. The News auu uounur sayo . "A reward of $1,000 cash Id hand Is of fered to tbe first gentleman, lady or child that will espy a rainbow in this vicinity, said re ward to be paid upon presentation of the rainbow." Capt. J. Q.

The Xmas noise makers "have been on the firing line" for over two weeks, occasionally making their presence known. Perhaps the supply of Xmas guns is about exhausted.
