It is grimly funny to read the
protests of q Greenwood county mass
meeting against the departure of
negroes from she county We are
told that irresponsible parties" have
been disturbing and alarming the
negroes, and the AbbeviIle Press and
Banner editorially declares that no
Jury in AbbeyiIle will convict any
man who kills an emigration agent
A few weeks ago We were told
from Greenwood that the Tolberts
were unpopular because they had
drawn large number of negro ten
ants about them and would not rent
their lands to white people So they
were shot and chased out of the
country. Now we learn that emf
grafton agents are to be shot because
they are taking the negroes away.
People there seem to be hard to
please.
To complete the situation, we get
from Columbia the deeply interesting
and thrilling information that now in
January Governor Ellesbe is working
hard to protect the negroes who were
killed early in November
We hope the departure of the
negroes will in the end result to the
advantage of ali concerned, but it
will cause serious loss for time to
the large landowners. If these citi-
zens had asserted themselves &C the
right time and used their influence
and courage to stop the slaughter at
Rehobeth church they would not
now be lamenting the departure of
their tenants -Greenville News.

The Buccaneers.

The original "boucanierS" were n
wild and picturesque gang. To the
waist they were generally clothed in
n sunburned and weather beaten skin,
and they wore pantaloons of coarse
linen, dyed and stitfened with the blood
of bulls aud pigs and held up by belt
of rawh;de stuck full of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings. and they car
ried long barreled firelock. loaded
with ounce balls of lead.
They were animated with n common
hatred of the Spaniard. which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per
son or property. and by wild sort of
attachment To each other in their peril
Gus lives, which led to their being
known as the Brethren of the Coast"
When the Spaniards drove them into
the career of marauderS upon the
sea. the word buccaneer took n new
meaning. though they were also known
as freebooterS. This was a mongrel
English word. "buiten" being Dutch
and "bueten" German for plunder. OF
this word the French made ''fribus-
ter" with the silent. and then soften
ed it to "filibustier." which the Span
iards modified into tilibustero. So we
finally got the word back, with a new
meaning and a special application as

A HERO or TIE NINE.
He Risked His Life to save That OF m
Fellow workman.

Il < e
Heber Franklin, a young man en-
pioyed at the Clear Greek mine, is as
much hero as any man who ever
Drayed death on the battlefield Frank
lin sought not glory. but to save a hu-
man life. There was fire In the mine.
The men were called out Then they
were about to shut of the air in order
| to stop the flames. when it was learned
that a lone miner was working deep in
the mine beyond the point where the
fire started and was then raging with
| growing strength. Here is the story
of the subsequent events:
Foreman Thomas Immediately called
for volunteers to go with him into the
mine to rescue the man. Several at
| tempts were made by different ones,
but they were driven back by the
flames. and the cry of Powder
caused hasty retreat.
Finally Heber Franklin, young man
whose work keeps him on the outside.
said, II will CO." And accompanying
Foreman Thomas he pressed on
through the fire and found the man
working away tamping a hole, entire
ly unconscious Of the danger threaten
ing him. They succeeded in getting
out of the mine safely, when the fan
was shut off and the dip closed up.
| The rescue was an act of great bravery
on the part of Franklin, as his work
kept him on the outside and he was
unacquainted with the exact lay of the
land inside, and the danger of suffoca-
ton from black damp was great. He
was the only man of the many stand
Ing by whose nerve did not desert him.
1t is stated upon good authority that
ten minutes more of lost time would
have resulted in the death of the miner
who was at work and possibly a great
loss to the company, as the supply of
air could not be cut off while there was
any hope of rescue, and this would
have tended to feed the f1ames.-Salt

WASHINGTON'S LAST YEARS.
His Happy Life With His Wife at
Mount Vernon.

His Happy Life With His Wife at
Mount Vernon.
At the time of his retirement to
Mount Vernon. after the expiration of
his term as president, "the tall figure
of Washington was only slightly bent
and he was still supposed to weigh up
ward of 200 pounds" writes William
Perrine of The Last Years of Wash
ington's Life" in The Ladies' Home
Journal.
Excepting his gray hair and his
false teeth and some trouble in hear
ing there was little of the usual ap-
pearance of age in his muscular per-
son, his gait and his strong, pock-
marked face. He was affable and
merry with his best friends, but while
he had the true hospitality of n south
ern gentleman in inviting every Wis
itor from distance to his table or to
bed over night. his politeness was gen.
orally formal. Yet if he particularly
enjoyed the conversation of a guest he
would pay him the compliment of lis
tening to him until after o o'clock, or
even of lighting him with the candle to
a bedroom for the night.
Mrs. Washington at this time was
healthy, pleasant and unostentatious
little woman, still showing traces of
good looks and with seldom any other
thought than of playing respectfully
her role of mistress of the house of a
country gentleman, of caring for the
negroes or of amusing herself with her
knitting. She had great pride in her
recipe for making cherry bounce
and on n midsummer day she cut out
30 pairs of breeches for the men work
ing on the farm. She had said that
she and the general felt like children
just released from school when he left
the presidency. and she told of her
satisfaction in settling down again to
the duties of an old fashioned Vir-
ginia housekeeper, steady as a clock,
busy as a bee and cheerful as q crick-
