Grecne and John F. Gaynor weiv sentenced by Judge Speer in the federal court this morning to serve four years in the federal prisj on at Atlanta, Gu.. ami to pay each a fine of $r>7n, 10I .90, the amount they are charged with having end c/.zled. I'pon one indiefmentthe sentence was to two years "and upon each of ! the other indictments four years, j hut the court directed that the senj tenees miglit all be served concurrently, which reduced each term to four years. I bus, with tho allowance of three nuVUths off of each yiar during which the behavior t f the pri.-'oners may l>e jjihyd, the sentence reduces to three years. The fine need not fie paid, if on completing the sentence, the prisoners make affidavit that they are not posscsssed of mere than S20. In lieu of paying the fine they may then serve lit) days longer. Counsel for the prisoners announce that an appeal will he taken. A11 order of court grants ten days for the filing of a bill of exceptions, upon which a motion for a new trial will he predicated. .irimsk sit.kk's sentence. .Judge Speer, in sentencing the prisoners, said: "The most painful official duty is the imposition of a sentence to penal servitude. This is peculiarly true when those convicted are men of fine intelligence, men of affairs, men who have had thq, opportunities of education or who have been trained by the teachings of experience. Peculiarly painful is that duty when the convicted have filled positions of responsibility, of honor and of trust. All of these conditions are present in the duty before me. One of the prisoners has been distinguished by bis State, has been an important official of one of the great political parties, a man of large acquaintance, perhaps with multitudes of earnest friends. The other is a graduate of distinction at our groat military academy at West l'oint and ho at one time was a captain in that famous corps of engineers whoso roster bears such names as Robert K. l<ec and (ieorge (Jordon Meade, a whose record was stainless ^fofcj^fhe occurrences which have becw^i'evelopcd in evidence here. A CYNICISM KXI'LODKI). "I am told that it has been cynically said by a famous New Yorker that no man who has a million dollars can he convicted of crime in America. The verdict of this jury plain, clear-sighted honest Americans has falsified such pessimism. Of that jury it may lie said that there is perhaps not a man who cannot trace his ancestry to a patriot of the Revolution which established American independence. It is true, as 1 have often declared, that to the homogeneous Americanism of these Southern States, when they are plainly shown their duty, our country may ever look with confidence for the enforcement ol its laws and for the maintenance ol , its institutions. Nor can it he questioned that these institutions |are in jeopardy if such flagrant 'spoliation of the public treasury as liroven in this ease ennlrl ?r?? im I whipped of justice. The settled policy of our national legislature to appropriate large sums for the improvement of the avenues of interstate and foreign trade and commerce which are under the express control of that hody makes it supremely important, that such appropriations should lie honestly cx! ponded and guarded with that rigid fidelity w ith which our government I has ever defended the moneys of jthe people gathered into the coffers of the treasury hy the exercise of the taxing power of the constitution. The successful and unpunished spoliation of the public treasury is perhaps the surest sign of national decadence sJloi'I.n NOT (iO LNII 1:1:1 ?K!>. * "Nor should the lesson of our government conduct in this great case go unheeded.

"I trust that you will emerge from your imprisonment restored in health and in strength and that for the rest of your lives you will recall the words of and cherish its teaching of the Psalmist, 'The little that the righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked." Prohibition Does Prohibit. , ? Prohibition was given a severe and practical test in Edgefield on Monday last. Hundreds of colored people gathered here to celebrate their emancipation,as has been their custom for a number of years. The order and deportment was decidedly the best ever witnessed in our town on such occasions. Even the most casual observe j noticed the very marked improvement. Instead of five or six arrests as heretofore, not one was made ?instead of the police force being increased by half dozen men as hat been necessary in the past, only om i man was added and it was found ' that he was not needed ? Instead ol ' dozens of drunken negroes being 01 the streets, only two men were seen under the influence of liquor?In" , stead of three or four hundred dol, lars being spent for liquor as wat , the ease when the dispensary wat doing business, only a small amount i was thus wasted?Instead of a great i throng of farm hands laying nsidi . their work Cor tho day to) come tc town to fll-illk ami nnvimcn f...

[ by hundreds, quit their work foi Monday's celebration. | Is this not convincing, and con elusive proof that there is merit ii "so-called" prohibition, as demagogues and some politicians dclighl 1 to speak of it. 1 The foregoing arc indisputable, irrefutable facts, not what wo read o: that occurred somewhere else, bul what actually occurs under our owi ' eyes and at our very doors. ' i Ix;t us hear no more of the can and rant that "Prohibition docs no prohibit." Is it not actually and ' effectively reducing and prohibiting the sale of liquor in Edgefield? Ev cry fair-minded, unprejudiced mat will answer in the affirmative. ? Edgefield Advertiser. I A Letter From Old Union Resident. 1 To the dear oldTimks?As! am ? native of old Union, 1 thought perhaps some of the old sports whe have survived the storms of thirtysix years, would be glad to greet ' me again. My departure from old Union in the presence of the seventh U. S. cavalry was an event that thi venerable heads of your town nevci will forget. During my exile, 1 have encompassed the great west, ! from the Pacific slope to the pan ; handle of Texas, have seen the sun hurned lands of Mexico, Central and South America. In all of my travels old Union was never forgotten. I thought of her as the dearest spot of all, for she first gave me light from which many beauties of the Creator's lower estate have been seen. During my long absence I have not accumulated so much of this world's goods as some of the big magnates of Wall street. Hut will have enough to stand Jim Kison a good hand with his chickens, and pi only for the old hoys who love to indulge in other sports. Since my arrival here (Atlanta) where 1 am laying up for repairs, 1 hear that old Union has been en joying great prosperity, bully for her. I guess my arrival will be a sail on the river of delight. Hut oh, how many will fail to answer roll call. Home have passed away and much of my joy will be mingled with sadness, for the elapse of J>0> years will remove some very dear friends. May kind providence bless the people of Union and enable me to reach the dear old spot again is my usiuy prayer. Thanking you in advance for a space in The Times for the above epistle, 1 beg to remain Very sincerely yours, C, T.

She was a dear,sweet child, beloved by all who knew her. Iler school mates were particularly fond of her. The fnneml on* ?</><>? were conducted by Rev. D. M. McLeod in the Methodist Church. llev. L.
