ABOUT PRIMARY REFORM.
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

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

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.

Question Cleared Up
Abbeville Readers Can No Longer
- Doubt the Evidence.
Agaiu and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by Ibis or that medicine.
But Abbeville's pertinent question
has always been, "Has anyone here in
Abbeville been cured?" The. word
of a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight wiib us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.
