Sale OF the SeabOard Air Line.

Richmond. Baltimore and New York capt.
talists are reported to have bought control.
ling interest in the .seabpard Air Line
Railroad. Mr.. g. Williams is at the head of
the syndicate, and the road, 1t is thought,
will be maintained and kept as separate
and independent organization. This deal, II
perfected, Will leave out Thos F. Ryan, who
Aas been after the officials for years.
1t is evident to our mind that q change was
inevitable. No great institution can, or
should. stand under the present management
Of the general officers. The whole Of the
management needs shaking up. II the new
owners shall cause to be installed into the
general officers competent men, endowed
with sense Of the desirability Of common
politeness In the discharge OF their respective
official duties, then the public will gain by
the change.
The Press and Banner notes with pleasure
that 7. J.Anderson is out Of the employ of the
road. and we are not losing any sleep for fear
some OF the other offices may be invited to re
sign.
1t makes no sort Of difference into whose
hands the road may fall. We have nothing to
lose. but chance to gain. Let US hope
that the present officers may have to go.

SAINT OF THE COOKS.
shs Was . Queen Of tho Culinary Art and
Was Csnonised. lH.t,

shs Was . Queen Of tho Culinary Art and
Was Csnonised.
Few people, perhaps, knew before that
cooks had q saint Of their own, who, kind
Lady, will doubtless In the hereafter make
the grilling Of them as pleasant as possi-
bic. Santa Zita, as she Is named, lived, 1t
appears, at Genoa and was there canonized
She could, so runs the legend, cook better
than any chef within 300 miles Of the town,
which, we all know, Is noted for its won
derful soups and dumplings, though OF
course in the latter indigestible article Of
food outrivaled BY Vienna, since it Is one
Of the chief articles in the religion Of gas
tronomy that it is only in the kaiserstadt
that the "glose'' Is in perfection. Santa
Zita was, it seems, not less famous for her
piety than for cooking and was a constant
attendant at the cathedral during high
mass.
One day, however, she fell Into trance,
20 called-though, In plain English, q
good, sound sleep-and quite forgot that
she had to produce an exceptionally fine
dinner for largo company. On awaken
ing she hurried forth from the sacred edi-
foo Id a way which was far indeed from
hsr won't, but, on reaching the kitchen,
what was her surprise and delight TO find
. party Of oherub celestials busy cooking
the required dinner. She did not interfere,
but Was ut first not unwilling to accept
the praise which was lavished on her GULL
nary success. She soon repented, however,
and told the world the truth about the
spiritual and miraculous hslp she had re-
ceived, and it was agreed on all sides that
she deserved to be canonized According
II ahe became Santa Zita.

1IAckerel Skies.

The mackerel sky comes from the same
causes as all the cirrus clouds, SO called
from the beautiful curl their fragments
often assume, such as "mackerel skies,
"mares' tails' and Seats tails. !" Meteor
ologists' are not agreed as to the cause,
there being two explanations. 1t has been
suggested that these cirrus clouds are the
heads of columns Of vapor rising from the
earth and precipitated az soon as they at
tain q certain elevation, rarely Less than
three miles above the earth u.s. $40 feet),
and often five or six miles (26, 900 to 30, 900
feet). II this be so, the visible cloud forms
the capital of an invisible pillar Of satu-
rated air. The second explanation is that
they are caused In the higher regions Of the
atmosphere by the meeting Of two currents
Of air, of different water bearing capacity,
causing them to form into parallel bands,
each belt being composed Of light, airy
fragments, slightly altered in appearance
according to slight difference in condi-
tions under which they are formed: 1t has
been supposed that such clouds are COM
posed of particles of snow. It might be
added that they OCCUR In systems, long
ranks of them extending in one direction
for vast distances and being occasionally
crossed by other systems, at other but also
extreme attitudes Boston Traveller.

Free People.

Much Of the little that we read of the argu.
ments, or protests, against making the FLIP
mos come Cnder our government, sounds to
us like the old stock talk against the govern.
ment In Its determination to whip the South
back into the Union.
The President issued his proclamation or.
dering the rebels to disperse, some people
read the riot act; others thought the govern
ment had no constitutional rights 10 compel
the Southern States to return TO the Union
preachers in all this land quoted the Holy
Scriptures to justify slavery, while every man
In the South Joined the Confederate army.
The soldiers sang patriotic airs, while all
were fighting for the property which they
had won by honest toil'-the property being
| negroes.
The Union authorities camped outside the
constitution, and finally the Confederate SOL
dier was compelled TO surrender and lay down
bis arms. He went to work ,'and is now nota-
bly, loyal TO the government which he fought
SO bravely thirty years ago. The preachers
no longer tells Of the Scripture sanction Of
slavery, and State Rights is as dead as ham,
mer.
The Democratic party must kick al the Re.
publican party for something, and 1t is rea.
sonable to expect that Democrats will be
ready to deprive Mckinley and his party OF
the glory TO which they are entitled for the
victory which has come to the United States.
The Southern Statesman may have a fellow
feeling for the people Of the conquered terri
tory, that bring back the old associations Of a
time when every man In the South hated the
Union, which we now love so we'll.
But 1t is to be hoped that they may not be
able to defeat the ratification Of the treaty Of
peace.
The whipping of the South added strength
and greatness to the Union. The annexation
of the conquered territory that was wrested
from Spain, will give strength to the nation.
We agree with another who has said that
Mckinley has done more for this country
than any man who has lived since Washing
ton. The nation is en- titled to the benefit Of
his victories, and he deserves to be honored.

CANNON OF GOLD.
Two very Ancient Guns Whose Origin u
shrouded In Mystery. h

Shrouded In Mystery. y
The imperial srmy Of Berlin has in ad-
dition to Its armament field gun as cost
ly as 1t Is unique. "A cannon made Of gold,
such as Is possessed bv no other armory In
the world except the Ranburg museum,
whence it came, Is the great show piece
Just now for the domesticated Berliner, az
well as the thousands of strangers who
visit the German capital The outward
appearance Of the monster jewel Is most
delicate in workmanship, such as is never
seen in an arm of this kind. The cylinder
Is 10 feet long and strangely beautiful in
Its massive coat Of FURNISHED gold inlaid
with delicate frieze work, with handle
formed Of two nude wrestlers and cascabel
in the shape Of an elephants head with in
verted trunk. The handle Is in itself work
Of the highest plastic art. In harmony with
the elegance Of the arm proper Is the gun
carriage, which is made Of oak, inlaid with
reddish pear wood and richly decorated
with etched steel knobs, rosettes and other
decorative designs. Twice in the chaste
and unusually elaborate ornamentation
are found the initials Of the etcher, "H.
R. NJ, 1643," but his identity has not yet
been discovered. ... ..
Even more remarkable than the costn-
ness Of the material Of which it Is made Is
the construction Of the cylinder. Its like
Is not described in any handbook on
arms, and a similar arm has not been seen
before. The copper cylinder has diameter
Of IS millimeters, with an inner and outer
mantle The filler consists Of pine wood
and leather. The origin Of the two guns
is an unsolved mystery, although mention
of them Is made in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Oldenburger, in
his "Book On Travel" (1675), and Berlen-
meyer, in his Antiquarian, speak with
great enthusiasm Of the golden cannon. I"
According to these two sources, the guns
were taken from d Hamburg merchant to
satisfy debt Of $12, 1000. Tne style Of the
guns would Indicate that they were made
In Holland, and the costliness Of the work
justifles the assumption that they were
made only by special order.-St Louis

Important Days.

The stocksholders OF the National Bank met
yesterday.
The stockholders Of the Farmers Bank will
meet today at twelve O'Clock.
The stockholders of the Abbeville Cotton
Mill will meet tomorrow in the Cour,
House.
The stockholders of the Abbeville. Green
wood Mutual Fire Association will meet on
Friday OF this week, the 18th.
And so 1t will be seen that this is an impor-
tant week In the enterprises In which the
town and county is interested.
Except in the Cotton Mill, we presume only
the routine work will be done, but in the
Cotton Mill very important matter Is to
be considered. namely: The increasing ol
the capital stock from S3OQ000 to $4O0, 900.
The outlay OF so large an amount Of money,
makes the Cotton Mill meeting of unusual
interest to every stockholder, and as bis
nonied interests are touched, 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that it is unnecessary to urge full at
tendance.
The welfare Of the mill is to be considered,
while the interests Of the individual stock
holders should not be forgotten.
