omit the Incidents. memorable in '6 and rs

McGOwan will pardon us for asking him
TO write and publish the history OF the Abbe

tion with it. There is no man living or dead
who has enjoyed more intimate and profound
acquaintance with the eminent men who
have adorned that Bar, from Mr.. Calhoun
down TO the present moment. Certainly
none has enjoyed Il larger or more successful
practice through a long lifetime; and his
qualifications preeminently tit him 10 do

The AbbeviIle Bar.

A correspondent from Ninety-SiX, "R, 10
the Columbia Evening News, makes strong
appeal to Judge MCGOWAN to write history
of the Abbeville Bar for the last fifty years.
Some of the greatest lawyers and statesmen
of past ages rendered themselves famous for
all time by the books which they wrote after
their retirement from public service. Except
for such writings the names Of some OF the
most familiar writer's would now be an
known. Judge O'Neali would have passed
out Of mind by this time II it had not been
for the book W which he wrote.
No man in this county is better equipped
for writing the history of the Abbeville Bar,
and being now in excellent health, and as ev.
er, an untiring worker. the Press and Banner
heartily joins the Evening News in Its re-
quest for Judge MCGOWAN to write the book

"HOnest'' and Conscientious

The negro has developed, or discovered,
quite number of "honest and "consclen'
tious' friends, who, it seems TO us, believe
that negro is better than Reformer, and
who are more concerned for the franchise oi
the negro than for good government. The
latest and most pronounced friend of the ne
gro is the Hon. j. ]. Dargan, of Sumter. He
made speech in Columbia one night which
was entirely satisfactory to the negroes, and
which was more or less offensive TO the white
men. In 1876 that speech would have been re-
garded as opposed to the best interests oi
South Carolina.

POSSIBLE SURPRISE.
The Calhoun Estate May Receive An
other Turn in the Legal kaIeidOS-

scope.
IL is barely possible that action Will tie
taken in the Probate Court of Abbeville coun-
ty, looking to the revocation OF letters tes-
tainentary on the estate Of the late James Ed
ward Calhoun.
II is alleged that no nonresident can au-
minister or act as executor OF estate IN South
Carolina, the law declaring ten months ab.
sence from the State necessarily iOrieitS the
right to handle the trust.
Mr. Calhoun does not even claim to be q
citizen Of South Carolina. and IL may be held
that be was never entitled TO receive the let
terS teStamentary.
We have no positive information as 10 the
legal questions involved, and we are not posi-
lively informed that steps will he taken to
revoke the letters. but the idea has been sug-
gesled that such steps may he taken.
Under any circumstances we presume the
rights and interests OF none OF the legatees
will be affected one way ar the other.

Field called at tho Lindell hotel and
sent up his card. Miss Kellogg's mother
entered the parlor and informed the
n%onchalant young man that her daugh-
ter could not be seen. Field replied that
he had not called as a newspaper man,
but as an amateur actor. Seating him
self at the piano, he sang two or three
ballads and so charmed the old lady
that she summoned her daughter, and
the two spent the afternoon together in
music. Ever after that Miss kellogg

And Burglars Have Since Tried to Get It
From the Hotel Safe.
A fourth attempt was recently made
to rob the safe of the American House
at Bloomfield, N. j., which. it was sup
posed, contained 81, 800 in gold, deposit
ed there five years ago by Raymond
Welsh. Who Raymond Welsh was, where
he came from or where he went to no.
body knows.
He went to the American House five
years ago, and the register gives New
York as his residence. He was a tall,
square man, and wore q neat looking
Prince Albert coat and a silk hat. From
his accent he was supposed to be an
1rishman. A simple valise constituted
his entire baggage. He remained quiet
ly at the hotel for three days, scarcely
leaving the house. One night he called
William Courier, the proprietor, to his
room.
"Mr. Courier" he said, II want you
to take care of some money for me-"
With that he reached under the mat
tress Of his bed and drew out two can
vas bags. "There's 81, 500 in gold III
those two bags" said Welsh. Count
1t and see.'
Courier opened the bags and poured
q quantity Of gold pieces upon the bcG.
There were three old California $40
slugs, made in San Francisco in 1851, .
few English sovereigns, but most Of the
money was in $50 gold pieces.
"What are you doing with all this
gold?'' asked Courier.
"Well, I may 60 where I'll need it,
replied Welsh, with a smile. Besides,
I am just going to be married, and why
shouldn't q man spend gold ON his hon,
eymoon:"
Courier gave Welsh a receipt fer
81, 500 and put the gold in the safe in
the barroom. The next day Welsh did
not appear at the hotel. He has never
been seen since, and several unsuccess.
full attempts have been made to rob the
safe. Cincinnati Enquirer.

and bound in imitation Of a morocco
covered memorandum book, entitled

to do such a thing a that before, and
that Of itself at this juncture is most
significant, indicating the existence of q
literary bureau.
"But, in addition, while I was in
Pennsylvania the other day I was told
that Senator Quay had made up his
mind to try for the nomination. His
friends say he feels that the Republican
victories Of 1894 and his own triumph
over the opposition in his own party in
Pennsylvania last summer give assur-
nee that with him at the head Of the
ticket success will be certain. The state
will be worked between now and next
spring to secure a Quay delegation to
the national convention, and to this end
Senator Cameron has been committed.

tions, II any ever really existed, has
disappeared, as their departure for a
fishing trip in Florida demonstrates,

ton will be exerted in Quay's behalf

Remarkable Discovery In . Hill Near Ste.

About Is miles west of Red Bud,
Ills, and the same distance north of
Ste. Genevieve, Mo-, on the banks of
the Mississippi river, is a natural curl
osity, being no less than a refrigerator
formed by some unexplained law of ma
ture.
A short time ago Farmer Wallace,
on whose land this was seen, dug a Gel
lar or grotto in the shaley hillside,
where the rocks are thin and brittle, in
order to get a storage place for milk
and other edibles. After digging back
a few feet, he was surprised to find lay
ers of ice between the layers of rocks,
and as it was cool inside, and it prom
ised to be more than he. expected in the
way Of q refrigerator, he finished it up
by putting in a door
He finds by trial hat everything
placed inside, such as meats, milk,
fruits or other perishable articles, keeps
perfectly for any length Of time. Dur
ing the hottest weather last summer
milk stored in this cellar would make
the teeth ache to drink it. Mr.. G. v.
Kettler Of Red Bud says it is a wonder.
