The Prewitt Centennial.

On last FRIDAY, sept. TN there met
at the old Prewitt homestead in Fay
cite county, KY, near Chilesburg quite
a number of the descendants of Robert
and Martha Chandler Prewitt, TO
celebrate the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of the settlement and occupation
ofsaid farm by their honored ances-
tors. The walls of the old home lay
scattered around, but the grave yard,
where rests the bones ofthese pioneers
has been well kept and has around it
substantial rock wall, two feet in
thickness and well laid in cement.
Robert Prewitt and his wife came
to Kentucky from Virginia in1794 and
settled upon this farm, and raised
quite a large family, consisting of
eight boys and two girls, of the boys
VIM. G.. Prewitt married and re-
NAMED in the county of Fayette
Allen, Levi and Henry married and
settled in the county of Scott. Robert
settled in the state of Missouri, while
James and Nelson Prewitt made for
themselves homes in the county of
Montgomery. One of the two sisters
married Bird Bryant of Jessamine,
and the other married John Smith, of
Harrison county, and from this latter
union wac born, Patsey Chandler
Davis, wife of Col. Josiah Davis,
whom many of our older citizens re-
member.
1t is not our province to speak in
terms of eulogy OF these worthy peo-
pie, who thus early cast their fortunes
in the historic ground of Ken
lucky. There flowed in their
veins the best blood of Virginia, COM
mingled with that of the French HUI
genot. BY industry and economy
they soon gathered around their new
home competency, where they were
honored in their lives and lamented at
their death. And to-day, their de-
scendants are scattered all over Ky.
and Mo-, who by their thrift and
enterprise, their sturdy honesty and
sterling worth, have made for them
selves homes and fortunes, while they
contributed no little to the up building
of the community in which they lived
Most of them were born farmers,
loved the quiet comforts of domestic
life better than the plaudits of the
multitude. They were real lovers of
nature, whose varied woods spoke to
them OF hand divine, and they de-
lighted to wrest from her the hidden
secrets of her treasury, counting her
generous mother who would yield her
gold to those who would dig for it:
Here's honor to their memory and
peace to their ashes.
We admire these family reunions;
they serve double purpose; while
they keep alive and fresh the memory
Of the dead, they bring the living into
closer touch and into a sweeter and
more social connection with their
kindred.

RUSTY CHIVALRY.

Buster and fight are two very differ
ent things. and as rule II Ia found
that men who do the most bullying
and talk the most about fighting are the
least likely to fight.
The Tlllman campaign In South Caro-
lima affords a. good Illustration OF
how far bluffing may be carried
without blows. II vituperation and
clamor could kill. the Palmetto State
would now be without a Governor and
short OF brawllng politicians. But as yet
words have sufficed to let of the politl-
cal gas of the chivalry. and there have
been no funerals.
Yesterday, however. there was q hot
time on u Pullman car Oh the way to
Spartanburg. Gov. T1llmsn was a pas
senger and was sought by Senator n.
&C. Butler. who denounced him as q
many adjectived liar. The one-legged
Senator was backed by a Congressional
candidate named Caughman. who placed
his hand on his pistol and shouted
Yes, he's blank. blank liar and
fraud!" Senator Butler dared the dis.
pensary Governor to get out OF the car
and fight
When 1t is remembered that this ex-
hibition of South Carolina chivalry oc-
CURED in a Pullman car well filled with
ladies, the gallantry Of the heroes who
took part in 1t can be properly appre-
ciated. But. except in frightening the
women, their bluster failed to accom-
plish any result. Caughman was taken
by the collar by the conductor and led
out OF the car: Butler left the train
alone, and Gov Tillmsn remained in his
seat without a fight.
The Governor and the Senator speak
from the same platform at Spartanburg
to-day, but 1t ia not expected that there
will he any firing Off except by the
mouths.

We print to-day the news that Japan
has formally declared war against China,
and there Is good reason for believing
that the declaration Is made In good
faith. Before declaring war Japan seems
to have tried her resources just to see
II everything was In good fighting trim.
In less than a week she has practically
swept the Chinese navy from the seas,
has destroyed two OF their best battle
ships and three new armored cruisers.

Great Britain for not having noticed the
