r.i-i.r'i The Seal of th The Press and flauner is in receipt of a 1 letter l'rom Hon. Win. T\ Calhoun, of Edge field. with retail 1 to the Great Seal or the Confederacy, which has recently caused much discussion in the press of the conn- ' try. *1 -?i.u \r.. A.lK.vnn'o laffor Wd nilh. I AlOllg Willi .ur. V ttuii'uu c .... lish two recent communications of his in Tho State which will no doubt prove of in terest. Mr-iCallioun's letter is as follows:? My aim in writing you is to call your at tention to the fact t hat Abtieville occupies a prominent part in the discussion, both as regards the seal ami tue last meeting ??i the Confederate .cabinet. That being the ease, and as I am working for Abbeville, but, I finally succeeded, and the fact i6 admitted without question. In that sanje connection came up the history of the seal of the Confederacy, about which there is now and has been much talk; and I have been steadily contending for the Abbeville seal as against all others as boing the true original seal of the Confederacy. A. S. Saliey. Jr., and The State, in an off hand manner pronounce the Selfridge seal to be j.u?. ;?nl T si i emit a un/i trivA mv lilC UllfelliCU, a V4?^|.?V4V-V ?* *% reasons for. The State in a recent issue admits that since Benjamin, Jr.of Kichmond, Vn.t has written to a New York paper that the orig inal seal was never used,?that the Ab beville seal h;is|a "Factitious" value. Ben jamin says that the original seal eaiui from London too late for use, some time in 1864. Theu, if that seal was never used, what seal was? It follows that as a mat ter of course the one that was at Abbeville isithe only genuine seal.of the Confederacy, and the only one that has any historic value. Now is the time for Abbeville to cstab lish this matter beyond doubt, because whatever conclusion is reached now will go down in history as the true version of the matter. So far as I have seen, I am the only per son in the State contending for the claim of Abbeville now or has done much in that line in the past. The cousequence is that I have collected much important data both as to the cabinet meeting and the seal, much of which is unwritten history, and all of it very Important to the history of Abbeville. What I have collected would make quite a nice brochure on the subject that should not only be interesting to the people of Abbeville, but to the general pub lic Much of the data Is from prominent men of the day now dead in the shape of letters bearing directly on the two sub jects. We must succeed in not only giving the Abbeville seal a "Factitious" value as al leged by The State in comparison with the Selfridge seal, but a real value as being the only seal ever used by the Confederacy and therefore the only genuine seal, and the only one that has any sentimental or historic value. You can publish this letter If you so de sire. I send you one of my recent articles on the subject. I am with kind regards, Very truly yours W. P. Calhoun. To the Editor of The State: In a recent editorial you unhesitatingly assert that the Thomas 0. Selfrldge seal about which much is being written is the genuine origiual seal of the Southern Con federacy. After indorsing the line follow ed by Mr. Salley and agreeing with his conclusion, you go further and seem to rest your case on the fact that the seal which was at Abbeville, S.C., in 18S5, where Mr. Davis held his last cabinet meeting, was a copy. You have not the slighest fact to base such a conclusion on. That it was the origiual seal, there can be no doubt, regardless of the well put up tale by Bromwell and Pickett, the curio sellers. It seems that about 1872 Bromwell through Pickett sold or gave to Selfridge what they represented to be the lost seal of the Confederacy with the tale that has recently been brought prominently to light. Bromwell and Pickett, as the facts show, were curio sellers for the money that was in it. It is a fact thatcau not be disputed that President Davis held his last cabinet meet ing at Abbeville, b. (J., in 1865; and the same authorities that prove that fact prove that the seal of the Confederacy was there and seen by men whose words cannot be disputed; and that Judah P. Benjamin was there, the custodian of the seal; and that there and then it was decid ed to destroy the seal, a fact proved by some of the most substantial men that South Carolina ever produced; and who say that what they saw and advised the destruction of was the seal of the Confed eracy, no suspicion of it being a copy ex isting. Those'men were not curio sellers. Mr. Benjamin never would have allowed himself to be a party to the farce of de stroying a mere copy of that seal when lie knew where the original was. There is 110 doubt about the fact that Admiral Selfridge believed that ho had the original seal of tbe Confederacy. You assert in a manner which you iu tend, it seems to bo final, in disposing of the Abbeville end of the controversy, that the seal seen there was a copy. Where is your proof? Can you name one ground upon which to be such a far fetched infer ence? If so, let us have it. by assertjng that the Selfridge seal is the original you place the words of two curio sellers agains the words of Armis tead Burt, Wai. Henry Parker, Thomas C. Perrin, Davis L. Wardlaw and other men, who were present, saw the seal and who state what took place in regard to it with a minuteness that cannot be questioned. During all of that discussion Mr. Benja min did not hint even that it was a copy. According to the Atlanta Constitution the Selfridge seal is to be submitted to the rvt^irvinol ?m o L'ftrc fnr t Imir 1 in) ni/tn o +/% itu VlifjUiUi luuuvi sy 1V1 IUVU v/piuivn cvo iv iw genuineness before the purchasers pay over the money, there being a clause in the contract of sale to that effect. Before you can assert that the seal seen at Abbeville was a copy you must prove anu not assort that it was a copy. Fur ther, you will have to disprove the testi mony of the meu named above and the ac quiescence of Mr. Benjamin in the destruc tion of what he knew to be a copy. You must show further that Bromwoll was at Abbeville at the time named, and secuied the seal, after it had been decided to de stroy it in some way. The seal having undoubtedly! been at Abbeville and not Charlotte, N. C., in the absence of Brom woll from Abbeville, kills dead the whole frabric of the Bromwell-Pickett story, and discredits the statement that they got it le Confederacy at Charlotte, X. C., iu the maimer de scribeed. The Abbeville end of the matter is no myth, nor a tradition. It is based on posi tive facts, about which there can be no doubt. If you can prove that the seal seen at Abbevillle was a copy, then you will have some foundation to base your belief on. nml credence would be given to the tale as told by Bromwell and Pickett. The origi nal s<>al must be traced from Abbeville atul not from Charlotte. Wui. P. Calhoun. KdgeHeld, June 15, 1912. THINKS SEAL RESTS AT BOTTOM OF 1UVEK ? ? Win. P. Calhoun Believes Con federate Kelic Was Thrown Into the Savanuah. To the Editor of The Sate: i referred to the fact recently through your paper that A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary of the South Carolina historical commis sion, was claiming that the seal returned to Richmond, Va., by Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfrldga as the lost 6eal of the South ern Confederacy was such. Besides, Mr. Sal ley gave a trace of the seal and con cluded that it wju> really tho much dis ussed lost seal. He says that it has been known since 1873 that the seal was preserved, but It is rather strange if that is the case that so inuch silence should have prevailed for such a long time, when efforts were being made to trace the genuine seal, and it was much written about. Admiral Selfridge could easily have stopped Inquiry by ad mitting that he had the seal. It seems that Col. Pickett, who had what he claim ed was the original seal, was a curio seller who wanted good prices for same; and he no doubt did give Admiral Selfridge a seal of the Confederacy as the original, or sol d it to him: but, before the fact can be es tablished that the one given Abmiral Sell ridge Is the genuine seal of the Confeder hc it will have to pe explained how It got away from Abbeville, S. C.P where it was seen in April, 1865, when Mr. Davis held his last cabinet meeting in the house o! Armistead Burt, as explained by the late Win. Henry Parker of Abbeville, a man whose word was never doubted by any and whose character stood high in the State. What Mr. Parker says has been substantiated by others who were pres ent. What should be done with tin) seal was discussed after the cabinet meeting at which the Confederacy was formally dis solved, is given by Mr. Parker. All of the iMx?viliA iiihji namnd bv Mr. Parker haw long since passed away. but, in their day, they gave the same version of tin) matter us does Mr. Parker. It seeing to lmvr been decided to deface the swal and to throw into the Savannah rivor at the con ference mentioned, and from all that can be learned that is its resting place now It was thought that aftvr being d?>fiM;ed it was thrown into the well on the Hurt, home; and a number of yoars later, the well was drawn off and a thorough search made for it without avail. Mr. Benjamin crossed the Savannah river with Mr. Davis, as did 6ome others of his official family If Col. Pickett was at Abbeville at the time (April, 1865), it may be possible that the seal fell into his hands, but, if h?> was not, the original seal of the Confederacy lies most probably at the bottom of the Sa vannah river, the western boundary of Abbeville county, a lit resting place for it because the first secession meeting was held at Abbeville, and the Inst cabinet meeting as well, and the Confederacy dis solved there. It would be impossible for me to give the record of this matter, as I have much on the subject that makes most Interesting reading and containing facts that are not yet recorded in history. Strange to say that Mr. Davis, in his account of his pro gress from Richmond to where he was cap tured in Georiga, never mentioned being at Abbeville In any way. Mr. Parker so graphically describes what took place, that I give his letter to me, dated June 22,1903, in part. It will b? seen that he relates facta that wero never known, until I published them in 1903, to any great extent. Mr Parker was of the greatest aid to me in searching out the facts of the matter. The following is his letter and it is well worth reading: "Col. Wm. P. Calhoun. '' Dear Sir: Your letter of this date iu re ference to the 'last cabinet mooting of the Confederacy,'received and I will give you such information ai-out the matter as I learned at the time from prominent citizens of this city, or came under my own obser vation." (After explaining how Mr. Davis entered Abbeville and when; and that he went to the Burt mansion, and by whom th? members of the cabinet were entertained, the disposition of the troops and com manders, h? goes on to say): "I have heard Mr. Burt speak of the cab inet meeting at his house in the northeast front corner room, in the second story, and at whlchjhe was present. The cavalry etcort was commanded by Gon. Dukes and Gen Vaughn, I think. While the cabinet meet ing was discussing tbe situation, tnd the question of futher military operation which President Davis advocated in opposition to all, or some of the other members, as stated by Mr. Burt, Gen. Dukes arrived and an nounced that It was useless to consider auy further resistance, that the cavalry iinrior hini would not fiirht anv lonir er and were throwing away their weapons. "Mr. Burt stated that Mr. Davis dis played great emotion, and throwing his head back, either hid his face in his hnnds, or spread his handkerchief over his face I am not sure now which. As stated by Mr. Burt, after some little time, President Davis was led from the room, and the mem bers of the cabiuet agreed on final dissolu tion. "I have heard from Mr. Perrln and members of his family that the disposal of the Confederate seal of state was discussed at his house afterwards and he advised that the seal be defaced with a hatchet and thrown into the Savauuah river,-which they would cross ou their way to Washing ton, Ga, It was not known whether this was done or not." Then followed much interesting histor ical information and facte as to who was with Mr. Davis at the time and the manner of his leaving Abbeville. All of the information that I have shows that the seal was at Abbeville at the time named, but, there is no positive proof as to what was really done with it The evidence as to its disposition is circumstantial; but that It was seen there is positive. There cau be no error in that. Mr. Picket may have ruu across a duplicate, of which I have known; but that he could have had tlio original unless he procured it at Abbeville is out of the question. It would require too much space to go into detail, and I have selected Mr. Parker's letter as being direct, without having read over all the data that I have. Win. P.

The following clipping from the Ports mouth (Ohio) Times will be of some Inter est. no doubt, to Press and Banner read era In thin section as well as other parts of the county : "Miss Marion Kidenour, of Seventh Street, and Mr. Clifton Moorhead married Wednesday evening at the Bige low church parsonage by Rev. Alfred Hughes." The groom is a native of quite near this place. When quite small, his mother, Mrs. A. E. Moorhead, who is so well known and esteemed and loved by all of her large acquaintance, with her fam ily moved to Atlanta, Ga. Cliff, as he was familiarly known, as soon as he became large enough, prompted by his inborn, in herited energy, began a business career, of which he made a success. Entering a larger field about a year ago, he became 11 pay-roll clerk in the Selby offices, with a good salary. Today he stands high in the estimution of his employers and all others who know him. Many here will betflad to hear of his good fortune in securing the hand and heart of one who will aid him in making life well worth the living. Fifteen or twenty of the people of this town went to Anderson Thursday?four or five autos well loaded. The writer's good frieud, Mr. Joe Gibert, furnished hhu with a seat, and ths careful driver, by giving to him a most delightful day's outing, did much towards destroying his aversion to that modern mode of travel. Thursday's trip to above city was the first to that place in some ten years. He had heard of the progress and improvements which had taken place along the way and especially at the end of the line, where the city had made rapid strides along nil lines in all that tends to the making of herself a city beautiful, a city of progress, and one de termined to have the best that Is to be had. He was suiprised and much struck by the extreme caution and care shown by all, pedestrians especially, even the little tots and those older, in crossing the streets, to avoid the danger incident there to from coming in contact with any and all the modern modes of travel.

Recent years have witnessed a very marked Increase in the use of mechanical power for the performance of many classes of farm work that our fathers accomplished by hand.' Of the va' lous power-producing mcldnes in use on the farm' probably the most used and the most adaptable to ail sorts of con ditions is the singlo.cylinder gasoline en gine of the four-sroke cycle type. This machine is made in two iorrns. vertical uuu horizontal, and with either air or water cooled cylinder, While machines of different makes vary as to detail, they all have thusainc essential parts; namely, cylinder with in let and exhaust valves, piston, connecting rod, crank shaft, crank-shaft bearings with tupports, lly wheels, exhaust valve opener governor, ignition apparatus, carburetor, cooling apparatus, and oiling system. These engines may be purchased in sizes from onc-haif horse power upward. Unlike the steaui engine, with pulling powers wo are famtliar, t he gasoline en gine will not carry much overload; hence it is advisable to buy a machine large enough to do the maximum work required of it without overloading. If the engine is to be used for pumping only, small special vuimiiiv-wr tnnr>hi nr?c fr.hn.fr f/ivi* PYPplloilh ?Of rice may bo bought at a reasonable price, If the farmer owns but one engine, it is probably advisable in all cases to procure a largo machine than the small sizes, a machine that will drive the wood saw, the corn shelter, the feed grinder, and so on. These machines give a relatively high efficiency at light-loads, and it is therfore, not objectionabl to run them light. The far- j "mer, for a small outlay of money, can pro vide a room in which ho can set his engine and such machines as lie desirs to run with | it. and his wood saw may occupy an open shed at the side of the room. A rod of cold rooled 6tecl, mounted in hangers attached to the overhead woodwork, makes an ex cellent line shaft at low cost. This shaft should run lengthwise the full length of the room to provide for as rnanv machines as the room will hold. The feed grinder, corn sheller, ect., may be put together in a part of the room separated from the balance o f tl.n ......... V... ? o../l fl.Su partition nun be installed the washing ma chine, the cream separator, tlio churn, the electric plant, etc. These machines are driven by the line shaft by means of belts. In the limited space alloted to this article it is not possible to enter into a detailed discussion of the many uses to which a gasoline engine may be put on the farm, , but the winter wishes to impress on the j farmer the fact that it is well worth the farmer's time nnd effort to acquaint him self with the possibilties of the gasoline engine with reference to bin own particular case. Manufactures and dealers are ready to supply full and free information on re qust. A great many people are under the impression that the gasoline engine is a' very unreliable and dangerous thing. This erroneous impression is due to the fact that the machine is not understood by these, people. As a matter of fact the machine is one of the simplest of prime movers, and if kept in good order and in proper adjustment, it is a most dependabl ource of power. When the farmer forms Uie liai.ui, 01 running mnvii in* irt. uuontly and looking it over for loose nuts and slipped adjustments, at the same time looking carefully to thequulity of lubricat oil he uses, ne will find that lie possesses ?s a safe, economical, and very satisfactory power.
