Confesses His Crime.
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

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.

t
Imagination.
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
