They Prosecuted Mr.. Davis i'm Life
and i'm Death they MaIign Him.

The News and Courier administers severe
rebuke to the New York Times i'll the article
below. AS everybody in the South is pre-.
sumed to know thai there is great differ
ence between "a water proof, light overcoat,
without sleeves, and a "petticoat, the mean
ness OF the Times is apparent. The News
and Courier says:
A LIE NEVER DIEs.-We hope that every
patriotic woman in South Carolina and in all
the other Southern States will read the fol-
lowing little letter which was published In
the New York Times several days ago:
THAT PETTICoAT.
ITO the Editor of the New York Times: May |
pc permitted through your columns to suggest, II
monument be erected In honor Of Jefferson Davis,
the women Of the United States be asked to contrib
ute toward "the petticoat which is TO cover his hon
orable legs. r.
4New York. Wednesday, June ~, 1891
Pleasant reading, that, In this year OF Grace
1891, twenty-siX years after the war ended, Is
tnot? We are tod that there is no use for q
Southern history. in our schools, that II Is
time TO quit talking about the war, that real
ly the bitterness OF the half forgotten sirus-
gle has entirely departed from the breasts Of
our magnanimous conquercrs. Yet the
Northern newspapers are filled with mis-
representations Of the South and its heroes,
nom years end TO years end, the specimen
we have given above being one of the mean,
est and most contemplate Of the whole brood
of historic lies which have gone into the lit.
erature OF the country.
To show the utter wickedness OF the New
York Times. we quote what Mr.. Davis him
self says Of the incident
LAS it was quite dark in the tent, picked
up what was supposed to be my 'raglun, \
q waterproof, light overcoat, without sleeves
1t was subsequently, found TO be my wifeS,
SO very like my own as TO be mistaken for IL;
az 1 started, my wife thoughttully threw over
my head and shoulders a shawl. had gone
perhaps fifteen or twenty yards when q troop
or galloped up and ordered me TO halt and
surrender. to which gave defiant answer,
and dropping the shawl and raglan from my
shoulders, advanced toward him."
When plain statement of facts, like the
above, can be found in historical book that
should be in the hands Of every editor, the
misrepresent entation is inexcusable.

An important school meeting was held last
Friday evening, being an adjourned meeting
of the meeting which was held on the Friday
previous. Mr.. Templeton was called to the
chair and resolution was passed looking to
the establishment Of pubib school, and the
organization Of the town into separate
school district, with power Of the people to
vote the necessary taxes to build a school
house for each race, and to levy sufficient
taxes to keep the same open for full terms.
Senator Hemphill, Judge Lyon, Mr.. r. +.
Hill, Representatives j. Il. Robertson and F.
B. Gary were appointed a committee TO Sc
cure the necessary legislation.
The sentiment of the town seems to be ripe
for action, and the indications are that Able
Vile will open next year n free school.
Abbeville needs public school where all
the children may be educated with Impair
tialty, and without regard to the ability or
inability Of the parent TO pay.
If we have public school, whose teacher is
paid out of the public fund. he will be placed
II position to do exact and equal justice to
all, and If he fails to give salts faction during
the current year another teacher may be
elected for next year. This will solve the
school problem in Abbevile.
We believe the town can unite on public
school, and now is the time to bring the pco.
pie together
Let us organize the town into school dis
trict levy sufficient tax to build the needed
school houses. pay the entire salary OF
the teachers out of the public fund and keep
the school open for ten months. Every pro-
presSiye town needs q public school, and
nothing will unity our people better than the
open doors Of good school house and free
tuition.

For several days the press OF the state have
had remarks on the question as to whether
Governor Gilman had accepted a free pass
Iover the Richmond and Danville Railroad
system.
The Columbia stall correspondence of the
News and Courier called on the Governor, and
this is what he says of the matter:
Governor Tlllman was asked If he had any
thing special or general TO say on the Tree
pass emeutc. He said that the agitation OF
the thing was very contemplate. but his
views could be found IN his official letter
book, a part Of the public records. His views
were there found In 4 letter to Capt. McBee,
of the Richmond and Danville, which letter
was us follows, OF date January %. 1891:
"Dear Sir: Sometime ago received pass
over the Richmond and Danville system in
South Carolina, accompanied by your card.
My first impulse was to return it, because in
the past have criticised members of the

families are to settle on the land.
They will lease large tracts of other
land and plant it in beets for the
Chino sugar factory.
The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, Mr.. Mason, is taking a trip
through Louisiana and Texas for the
purpose of making personal inspec-
ton of the sugar bounty clause of
the Tariff Act.
Acting Secretary Spaulding of
Washington has informed a San
Francisco firm that in the event of
the reimposition of the duty on sugar
from Germany all such sugar above
No. 1G Dutch Standard will be sub
iect to duties at rates prescribed by
the Tariff Act.
Capitalists are investing million
dollars in the beet sugar business
near Omaha.
Up to November lG, over 500
acres of land had been entered for
beet farming in the Chino district
for the coming year, and most of the
contractors are from the growers Of
last year. The last number Of the
Chino Champion contained reports in
full of the the seasons work OF
several beet growers-giying names
Of the farmers and an itemized
statement Of the expenses of the
crop, and they show a net profit Of
from $50 to SAC per acre. These
figures show the profit after the
farmer has charged for his work. In
several instances the range Of profits
has been from 500 to SO per acre.
The Chino, Alyarad0 and Watson
vile factories are but the pioneers In
long chain OF beet sugar factories
which are destined to come into
working existence on this coast.
Claus Spreckels, the promoter and
chief owner of the factory located
at jacksonville, is mainly deserving
of the credit for the permanent posi-
ton this enterprise has achieved, He
had perfect faith in it and invested
money in it to the amount Of over
5000, eco at time when the business
had marked the financial wreck Of
every man who had tried to stay with
it in this country. Tie field in Jhis
State for tie location Of other beet
factories is unlimited and it would
