The State Convention which will meet in Columbia today is sure to take up the question of primary re form; and there will be extremists there who will advocate sweeping changes. It is hoped that the good common . sense of the average delegate will save a majority of the convention from adopting any extreme meas ures. Nq one can shut his eyes to the fact that politics in this State are di vided strictly along factional lines; but after all the Democratic party is a party of white people, one in biood, one in interesl-and one in State pride. The anti-Blease faction will dominate the convention and will be held re sponsible for its acts. Both factions charged fraud in the last election, and surely neither would have this stigma remain on the white people of the State. Ir regularities were admitted by both factions aqd really existed in every county. Present club rolls through sheer carelessness have names on them that are entered on other rolls. It \yould seem then that the neces sity for making up new rolls is ob vious. Again, to avoid the suspicion of fraud the new club rolls should be completed at least thirty days before the primary and filed in the office of -i-i 1_ _ r? n a. a i_?. r> tne i^itjrK lh *x>urc, ana leu open ior inspection. If a man moves from one county to another as late as five days before the election, and wishes to vote in the county into which he has moved, let him present a certifi cate from the Clerk of Court from thfc coonjy from which he has moved that he wag enrolled, and that his name toae been erased from the rolls of that county and let him be en rolled in the county into whdch he has moved. These simple changes in the primary plan, any man can coaply wfth, and would not cut out a dingle legal white voter in the State 7 whp really wanted to vote. We wonki .certainly be opposed to any harsher or more cumbersome regula tions. All white men should be en couraged to vote, and so long as they comply with reasonable restrictions, intended to place our primary above critidpm,.no one can ex will otjject. . We brieve these are loyal honest men in -both factions and plenty of them -who for their State pride will welcome such simple ..restrictions as will place the primaxy above re proach, just as believe that there ape good men hi both factions who will resent any effort to restrict suf frage iby requiring poll tax receipts, registration certificates, ballot stamp ing and the like, wholly unnecessary and totally unfair on the eve of the With all due respect for Mr. Mc Mahan, hie scheme is cumbersome, wtfust and decidedly ill-advised now, and it -is hoped that .the convention; will nokaeriously consider it. The primary should be what it is intended to be,: an untrammelled expression of public opinion, without restrictions further than will insure honesty. From our observation ol aispensaiy elections and general elec tions which the voter is required to show his lax receipt and his regis tration certificate, suffrage is restrict ed, and that, top, njos.t decidedly. The tendency of such primaries would be as fruitful of ring rule as the old convention plan, and we hope -that no such plan will prevail. / The JEngliah, French and-German governments are supporting the United States in her demands on Huerta, but the business interests 01 these several countries look with sus pioitia,-QD.-fthis country's course; and especially -is this the case in France. French papers do not look on Huerta ma murderer, or. if they do, they pass lightly over that part of bis career that brought him into the provisional presidenoy. / They pre tend to think that the United States is supporting the1 revolutionary cause because that cause is friendly to American interests in Mexico, whereas they allege that Huerta has * never shown a -friendly front to citi zens of the United States, or toward United States interests in Mexico. The wisdom, then, of President "Wilson's course.in showing the great est .possible toleration for Huerta in his outrageous treatment of United States citizens is beginning to dawn on the people of this country. While he. may not enlist the support of for eign merchants and corporations who would compete with the United States in Mexico, he has compelled -the support if not the friendship 01 the world powers. Now, what should be the further course of this government in Mexico? It is useless to, make any calculations for pacifying Mexico that do not take in Villa, bandit though he was. He iis the idol of the common people 01 Mexico; is the representative of that .radical policy of confiscation and re distribution of lands, so repugnant to civilized theories of government and yet so necessary for final settlement v ^ - I " ii ! fn ill of Mexican troubles, and he seems to oe the only man in all that troubled land who can and would establish peace. Villa is a puzzle to the out side world. As a common bandit he enlisted with Madero, was captured 'after Madero's death and escaped only to return with the new revolu tionists to avenge the death of his* erstwhile chief. Though in a large j degree illiterate, he speaks as a phi losopher and governs with the wis dom and rigor of a Napolean. English subject, by his direction citi Though the murderer of Benton, an zens of the United States who were threatened in Tampico by Huerta's forces, were rescued and conveyed to safety. When his chief Carranza would have resented interference by the United States and the taking of Vera Cruz, Villa smiled and said that he had confidence in the United States, and would not be drawn into war with this country. Whatever his designs, he is showing decided friendliness for the United States, and expresses utmost confidonce in President Wilson. Then Villa, for many reasons, is the logical instru ment through which this country should seek to pacify Mexico. Villa professes entire subordination to his chief, C'arranza. "Then take him at his word. Make Carranzn president, nominal, and Carranza will of caurse be governed in all things by the stronger arm of his lieutenant. Villa will in effect be president, and the man seems to be possessed of such strong common sense, that in all probability he will heartily agree to this indirection, knowing that this country can not and will not. recog nize him directly. The United States will make a se rious mistake if it attempts to set up as president any other man than yiila, directly if this can not be avoided but indirectly if possible. He is the man of the hour ai?d the idol of the Mexican people. THE LAURENS TRAGEDY. The killing of John M. Cannon, a prominent lawyer of Laurens coun ty, by Joseph G. Sullivan, a young man of good standing and good fam ily connection, as the outcome of a law suit in a Magistrate's oourt, brings up again* and most forcibly, the offense of canying concealed weapons. Will this habit neyer be entirely wiped out in the State? It is true that a very small per cent ol the citizens of South Carolina carry concealed weapons, but from the ranks of these few is made a record of crime that has made the State a "hissing and a byword" in the esti mation of the more orderly States ol the Union. We do not agree with the acqepted theory that men carry pistols because they are cowardly, as a general prop osition, but we do believe that the habit of carrying conoealed weapons fosters a murderous spirit#. And why should a man c^tivate the spir it of murder? Ask any m,an whose, .miafnrt urio has haon fhati hp hflK, either through malice or in self-de fense been forced to kill his fellow man, and however justifiable or un justifiable the homicide, he will tell you the price paid is too dear. The natural heart is as open to pity and remorse as it is to passion, and the face of the slain stays with the slayer until the natural life is absorbed in eternity. There is no doubting or denying the fact that homicidejs are sometimes justifiable in the sight ol man, and even in the sight of jC 1, but-the slayer pays his penalty in re morse just the same. Passion flares and fades, and even malice burns out, but remorse lingers to the epd. The Laurens case brings up, inci dentally, another evil that is entirely too common, and that is: the habit of some lawyers of browbeating and ridiculing witnesses on the stand. It is doubtful if a lawyer strengthens his case by such a course, and it is certain that out of the practice has grown many bitter quarrels. The most trivial circumstance, when held up to public gaze, either in ridicule or sarcasm, may become the cause of a deadlv feud. In fact. more than half the homicides that burden the criminal Courts qC the, State may be traced to trivial circum stances misunderstood or magnified. Judge R. E. Hill Writes of Things Long Ago iu Abbe vill County. In the last installment of my rem iniscences, published in the Press and Banner some two weeks ago, I stated that I would write no more on that line and intimated that that might be my last appearance as a writer for the newspapers. I had two reasons for such a con-, elusion, one being that I was fearful, that the vaporings of an oly man past, seventy-five, who possibly was in his, dotage without he himself being aware of it, might not be interesting to a good many of your readers, and the other was, at the time I wrote that ar ticle or at the time of the conclusion of it, I was the victim of an attack of the "blues," something to which I am subject, and I thought the time was not far distant when I would be call ed upon to "cash in my checks." / mil .mil mi IV -.1 r 11 i i^i II-nr-i Ii^'iir fi iri -ir~rf ilii But I am glad to be able to say that! o as to the latter of these conjectures, I |n was probably mistaken, for judging p from my present physical condition I ? may be here for some considerable d time yet?provided the wind will cease f blqwing from the east which is good m 1 for neither man or beast, as the great 'Count Bisraark is reputed to have c said; and as for your readers being a tired of my effusions, I am being over- t whelmed with requests, both by letter c and in person, to continue my reminis- i censes. To such an extent is this the case 1 that if I were a younger man and the i least bit susceptible to flattery, I c might be in danger of an accute attack t of the "big head." ? So, not being able to withstand the s importunities of my friends, both old 1 and> young, male and female, and a-. I mong the number a good many of the ? better class of colored persons, I have 1 somewhat reluctantly, gotten my con- t sent to contribute' something more of i my recolections of occurrences and i people of the long ago, which, if you t like, you may publish. ' ' " t Having mentioned heretofore the t fact that years ago there lived in this town and surrounding community i quite a number of men of decided < characteristics?men peculiar to them- ? selves, I shall now mention a few old i *Yomen of that day ajnd time the likes ? * J -?9J- ?? ?* ^Vtaoo OJ wnorn we aon i meet wnu moot days. * . . ' ( Two of tehes lived not a great dis- 1 tance from town both being quite old i when I was a small boy, and were 2 close neighbors; and while they were t of the same surname, I dont think i they were related to each other. < Their names were Rachel 'and * Jeane Robinson, respectively?which < makes it hardly necessary to state ( that they were both from the Emerald 1 Isle. j i Rachel was fortunate enough to < become the owner of one of those tall f dignified looking clocks known as "grand-father clocks," the pendulum ( of which swung back and forth in the i most leisurely manner. * This fact was a veritable "thorn of 1 the flesh" to old aunt Jeane, and she j never rested unti lshe had prcured one t ot a like kind. As soon as Rachel learned that I Jeane was on a par with her so far as f clocks were concerned, .she resolved i one day to call on Jeane, ostensibly ' to pay a social call, but really to get ' y sight of her clock, being anxious to see whteher or not it was the equal of i hers. It happened just as, she was going up the steps the clock began striking 1 in that loud and deliberate manner peculiar to such clocks; whereupon Rachel- threw up her hands and as suming a most frightened air cried ] out "my goodness, gracious, Jeane ...u? ***? Aa/? ia 4f molrincr W IIClL 1JLL U1C uauiu Ui. UVU 10 xv Uiuumo such an unearthly sound?" Of course she knew very well what It was and did this merely to mortify old Jeane. This liked, to have resulted in a se rious rupture between the two old ladies. Then there was another old woman, who lived to be quite old and died only some twelve or fifteen years ago, who was distinguished for her many marked peculiarities. This was aunt Sallie Richardson. She had a habit of prefacing almost everyihlng she said with the words, "thus now." A very amusing occurrence ' took place on the public square In this place on the public square in this place, several years ago to which she was a party. For some reason, to most people inexplicable, a certain firm, who were thought, to be amopg the mpst prosperous of our merchants, concluded that they would abandon the business of selling goods on a predit and would henceforth do a strictly cash business. Now this old lady had, up to that time, traded almost exclusively with that firm but never bought but a few "dollars worth on a credit, and was as good for her contracts as the wealth iest person in the county. It happened that she called at the store of this F firm In the early part of the year, af- v ter they had resolved to do a strictly I cash business and bought a few dol- s lars worth of goods. a After the goods had been' wrapped t up she said to the member of the firm t wlio happened to wait on her-r-"ttius c now George, you'll have to charge J these things for a short time as I have t no money with me. To this George, t said, after humming and hawing a lit- k tie while?well aunt Sallie I'm sorry but we have resolved not to credit any s one this year. The old lady then said, t "thus now you can just keep your h goods" and she went elesewhere and got what she wanted? n Matters went on until along about the middle of June when aunt Sallie Came to town one day with a lot of p cherries for sale. As she drove ud to ? her usual hitching place which wa9 not far from the aforesaid store George came out to her buggy, and asked her the price of the cherries. On being told he took hold of a bas ket containing about a bushel of cher ries and said, I'll take this lot?just come in the store and I will pay you for them. ' The old woman promptly spoke up and ^aid "thus now you'll pay me for them cherries right now before you take them out of my buggy," and he had to do it. This old lady paid a visit during the war to two of her sons who were in Lee's army in Virginia. On the cars as she was returning home, she oc cupied a seat near where were seated a clergyman and two or three young ladies. The preacher was teasing the girls by telling them that their chances of obtaining husbands would bf: greatly decreased by reason of the fact that the experience gained by the young men in the army in the matter v-.y I.IMlV.. Ill llll II I lllll .ll.llT.II.IIti f doing tehir own cooking, would lake them more independent in that articular than they had ever been be ore, and therefore they would not be iependant on a wife to keep house or them and do their cooking as they vould be able to cook for themselves.1 The old lady, in relatiag the cir :umstonce said that the girls hooted it such an idea and said they knew hat the boys could never learn to :ook, that they would just like to see l biscuit one of them had cooked. | rhis remark was more than aunt Sal- ^ ie could quietly stand?and so reach-1 ng down into a small bag with a ( [raw string to it, which old ladies at hat time were accustomed to carry ihe drew forth a biscuit about the ?ize of your fist and said?"thus now, j adies, I agree with this gentleman, as know that the soldier boys can cook is good as any of you, for, tnus now, lere's a biscuitmy son Jemes cooked his morning before I left the camp, ind breaking it into several pieces ihe gave each one of them a portion o try. They all had to admit, she said, liat.it was as good as any one of hem could cook. In mentioning old aunt Jeane Rob nson in connection with the clock ipisode recalls the fact that she had t daughter of very considerable di nensions and was universially known is Big Jane Robinson. From the time that I was twelve >r thirteen years of age, I have always lad the most kindly feeling and the greatest sense of obligations toward Vliss Jane. About that time it was cus ;omary for the young girls of each leighborhood to have what they call id quilting parties, at which all the jirls would assemble at the home of )ne of their'number and spend the lay in sewing and cross-sewing two ayers of calico or some other materi il between which was a thin layer of :otton, all framed up and swinging 'rom the ceiling. In the evening the young men of :he neighborhood would drop in and I dancing were tolerated by the head )? the establishment, all present *ould join in the dance which was generally kept up "indefinitely?some imes to the "peep-o-day." If dancing were not allowed then :hey would spend" the time in various lmusements?sue has marching a :ound singing "Old Sister Feeby," 'here we go round the rosy bush;,, 'We'll all go Reaping," etc. The first verse of the last mentioned song ran somewhat thus? ^ It rains and it hails and its cold " stormy weather; [n comes the farmer drinking of the cider; We'll all go a reaping and whoU be the binder? r'va 1/iof mv o-cL-ootVionrt anH where shall I find her. Before entering upon this joyful lircumambulation, eac> young man, excepting one, would provide himself &ith a. young lady partner. The young Tian who had no partner would take lis stand in the center of the ring, ind when tehy would reach that part jf the song which says "I've lost my sweetheart and where shall I find ier," each young man was expected to let loose his girl and catch the Dne in advance of him and it was the Susiness of the fellow in the center if possible to jump in ahead of some slow motioned young fellow and cap :ure his girl?of course the fellow that ost his partner would have to take lis place in the center. It sometimes lappened that a bOoby of a fellow vould be kept in the ring for quite a vhile, not being sufficiently on the (ui rire to catch a partner. Then there were other past times ;ngaged in which necessitated the jirls selecting their partners from imong the boys and young men pres jnt. On one such occasion I was pres et, and while I would have liked the >est in the world to have joined in thq, sntertainment I was entirely over ooked by the girls because I was iothing but "a little boy"?but to my treat Joy on this occasion, Miss Jane, vho weighed about three hundred >ounds, selected me as her partner, ind that fact broke the ice for me, md ever afterwards I took as big a land in the amusements as any of the >ig boys and young men. This kindly onsiderate action on the part of Miss ane placed me under such an obliga ion to her as has never been forgot en. Miss Jane was not only of a ;indly disposition but she was withal [Uite witty. I remember on one occa ion a boy asked her on what day of he month she was born?suspecting le was after some trick, she replied i wasn't bonr on any day of the aonth, I was born in the night time." Ghosts and Haunts. I don't think that people of the reesnt age are as prone to believe in hosts or haunts as they were sixty r seventy years ago. This may be at ributed to two causes, one because be people are more enlightened now han they were and the other, be ause children for the last thirty or orty years have not been entrusted o exclusively to the control and man gement of old black mammy's as hey were in former times?and these Id nurses were in the habit of telling he children all sorts of scarry tales o coerce them into doing as they /anted them, and so created within heir minds an indellible belief in hosts. So strongly were most grown up ieople embued with the idea of the eality of ghosts, that a great many ould'not be induced to pass a grave ard after night under any circum tances?especially if on foot, while early every one, if not all, felt a lit le uncomfortable while passing such place. For the benefit of the boys who may ead this and who may be disposed to believe In the reality of ghtosts, let me . j say that there is nothing more false, and that there never was an appari tion or so called ghosts that could not ( be accounted for or explained away, if only the effort were made. I remember some fifty or sixty ] years ago there lived in the neighbor hood of the Buckstand which is about half way between Abbeville and Due West, a man known as little Billy Henry. j Billy would occasionally come to c town and some times he would imbibe a little too freely in strong drink and would frequently stay in town until after dark before leaving for home. On one such occasion as he was passing Long Cane cemetery then called by everyone, Long Cane grave s yard. Billy saw two large white ob- ] jects in the midst of the tombs, one ? of which was larger than the other; teh smaller of the two objects was moving slowly up and down, where upon Billy put spurs to his horse and passed by as rapidly as possible. f After going #some distance he stop- 1 ped and not being naturally a coward | he resolved to go back and investigate j the matter, as he was not disposed to ^ believe in such things as ghosts. On his return to the grave yard the objects which he at first suspected as being ghosts, had moved nearer to the public road, wehn he discovered that they were a pair of old gray carriage horses belonging to a gentleman by +vio no mo nf Watt, who lived nearby, a distant relation- of Watt Leslie, who lives about two miles above town. The up and down motion of the smaller object which Billy observed was no doubt caused by the horse rubbing his neck against a tree as horses fre quently do. So boys if you should ever see any thing which you think is a ghost, do as Billy did, investigate the matter, and I'll venture that it will turn out to be as harmless as was Billy's ghost. R. E.
