The Abbeyillc Bar out Of Order -"Thcre
was no Harm Meant"

We make the following extract from the
Press and Banners account Of the proceed
ings of the Abbeville Court:
ut has long been the custom of the ABB
beville Bar, at the close. of the Court, to
have friendly and somewhat informal in
terchange of the amenities which usually
exist between the Bench and Bar, and 10
express in appropriate terms their opinion
of the manner in which that officer may
have discharged the duties devolving upon
him during the term. This being Judge
Pressley's first term, the Bar had requested
General MCGOWAN to act as their spokesman
in expressing their regards for his Honor.
At the proper time General MCGOWAN rose
from his seat and said:
"'May it please your Honor, this being
your first term at this place, have been re-
quested in behalf of the members of the
Bar, to thank you for the ability with
which you have discharged the duties of
the high and responsible office of Judge,
as we'll as to thank you for your courtesy
towards
"The Judge here, exhibiting something
of nervousness, interrupting the General,
said:
az have made il my custom, General, to
rule all such proceedings as out of order,
and must insist upon adhering to my Gus
tom in this instance
1.-THE interruption was so unexpected that
the General was much taken aback, and as
he took his seat only added:
""There was no harm meant"

ulacturcd at his mills that very

suit exceeded his most sangiiinc cXpcc-
tations, and he has received more orders
for this class of goods than he could sup
ply i'm his then feeble state OF health.
However, he soon expects to put moro
of these goods on the market, and to ell
deavor to keep up with tho demand.

The Penitentiary Directors have been
considering the treatment of convicts on
the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, in
consequence Of the startling fact that
about one hundred out of two hundred
and twenty-five have died during the last
year. This is an appalling death rate,
and demands rigid investigation at the
hands of the authorities who have the
matter in charge. The State cannot
afford to have the imputation of cruelty
to prisoners placed upon her. When
men commit crime we believe they ought
to be punished, and are not at all senti-
mental upon the subject as to the man.
ner in which it should be inflicted.
There is, however, great difference be-
tween Furnishing a criminal and treating
one cruelty. We have always been in
favor of working convicts on railroads
and other public improvements, but we
cannot endorse the employment OF hu-
man beings in any enterprise which en-
sures such frightful death rate. It is,
however, due to the authorities of the
Greenwood & Augusta Road that they
should be heard before they are con-
demned for the treatment of the convicts
they have been working. 1t may be that
there are exaggerated reports in circula-
ton, or that the culpability rests else
where than on their shoulders. Be this,
however, as it may, the subject demands
q full and fair investigation, with a view
of putting the public scandal to rest and
of correcting the inhumanity that is
charged, if it is found to exist, no matter
whence it may emanate.

AFTER 4 RAILROAD PREsIDENT.-On
Monday night, at o'clock, q party of
unknown persons went to the residence Of
President w. II. Hardin, Of tho Cheraw
and Chester Railroad, and cursing fear
fully, called for him to como out. Mr..
Hardin was absent from home. Being
apprised of the fact, the maraudcrs vented
themselves of a volley of horrid oaths,
saying they had come to kill him, and
although they had missed him, they
would yet have their revenge. They
rode into the yard and otherwise
committed malicious trespass on the
premises. Failing in their diabolical
purposes, they dispatched tho yard
dog. They fired two shots into the dogs
body and then left. The invaders were
unknown, as was also the cause of their
dastardly conduct Chester Bulletin.
