"ClOTIlDE" THE VERY
LAST OF SLAVE SHIPS

Many things can be forgotten in AZ
years and probably few Americans re-
member the story OF the slave-ship Clo-
tide that was run into Mobile Bay and
burned one dark night in 1859, and how
its cargo Of slaves was dumped off into
the cane-brakes and left some to be
picked up and sold, some 10 wander
about and starve. and some to die OF
homesickness.
Notwithstanding that II happened close
TO Mobile, scarcely any one In this year
recalls anything OF the facts Only In
-aH-eld- -seFaP-beek-e A-ffietfti-eoud I
find a single printed word about them;
and when this friends daughter had once
been TO the strange settlement. and had
described some of the peoples habits OF
life in a charming little dialect sketch.

A Pleasant Trip.

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. C.. Ellis are enjoying an out
Ing in Washington, New York and other
Northern cities. They will be gone, in all,
something over three weeks. There are few
more active energetic men than Mr.. Ellis,
and perhaps none In our midst more prosper
Gus. After the life OF activity that he leads
the greater portion of the year, the rest and
recreation found in the change Of scenes, and
Ia the pleasures OF sight seeing, come as a
wholesome experience.
Mrs. Ellis is one OF the best loved OF the
good women of Abbeville. Her sunny dis
position and attractive personality makes
her a general favorire. Her associates In the
Methodist choir OF this place. in which AZ
soprano che fills q most important place, will
Welcome the end Of her trip and her return
to her wonted place in their midst.
The Press and Banner wishes for them q

Son OF His Father.

Mr.. j. r. Leavell OF Greenwood wasin Town
one dny last week, seeing his cousin Mr..
James Chalmers, and attending 10 some mai
tiers that were more OF a business nature IMAM
a social kind. This editor knew MIR. LeaVell
almost before he knew himself, and the ac-
quaintance has always been pleasant. Mr.
Leavell Ia a son OF MIR. j. r. Leavell, senior, OF
Newberry, whose daily example and whose
efforts In behalf of young men were Of much
value TO those whose lives were thrown along
his way. Some Of US knew him best in the
Meetings of the Sons OF Temperance, from
which he was seldom absent. Handsome In
appearance and pleasing in address we nave
no doubt that the heart OF the junior LeaVell
Is as good as was that Of his father In the long
ago. In after years, we have no doubt mat
the kindly heart and the correct lie OF the
son will be remembered as pleasantly as Ia
that of the father, whose friendship and cor
dial greeting was as a beacon light TO the
young Of fifty years ago.

The Loss Of Mr.. BradIey's HOnse.

On last Monday morning May q, 1906, the
home and furniture OF Hon. John E. Bradley
was destroy ed by fire, upon which there was
no insurance. Mr.. Tatum Bradley lost al
his furniture and seventy, five dollars in
money.
AT five o'clock the colored cook discovered
fire In an upstairs room, In which there had
been no fire for a long time. The Inmates OF
the house were still In bed, and the flames
made such rapid progress that but little oil
the contents of the house could be saved. In
the house at the time of the fire, were. Hon.
John e. Bradley and his wife, Mr.. Tatum
Bradley and his family. Mr.. Luther Bradley,
and Prof. Mark Bradley.
The comfortable HON OF their younger
days is zone, and the house which sheltered
MI. and Mrs. Bradley in sickness and III old
age has fallen q prey TO the devou-ing ele-
ment. II is q loss from which people can
never hope TO fully recover. The house was
situated on the Augusta public road. twelve
miles south OF Abbeville. The part that
wal first built was a small house OF four room
put up about seventy five years ago. Mr..
W.K. Bradley prospered well and, twenty
years afterwards, he added 10 1t an elegant
structure OF imposing appearance with orpa.
menatl piazzas and high columns Since
the death Of the builder, his SGD, Hon.
John E. Bradley, has lived in the ancestral
home, TO which friends always received the
warmest welcome and the best Of entertain
2 ment.
I Perhaps NO single roof in the state has
sheltered without charge and so many travel.
ers and guests OF high and low degree.
1t is q TACT that within the half century OF
its occupancy by the Bradley family It's doors
have never been closed TO the passerby. OF
been charged the stranger within the gates"
In former years MIR. j. E. Bradley has met
misfortune brsvely, and in the years Of his
activity he courageonsly met all the Difficult.
ties that may have confronted him. In his
OLD age and in the physical infirmities that
beset him he has been not cast down.
BE, like ether old men may look back ward.
He may enjoy the contemplation OF the
achievements OF an honorable career In
which his M siortunes have been more than
offset by his virtues and achievement. He
has reason to have a pride in his children.
and the high esteem in which he is held BY
his neighbors should be 10 him a siorehouse
OF pleasure and a cause of satisfaction. In
I ormer years when he was In the full posses
sion Of his powers nc man in Abbeville
County was ever more popular with the
people. In former years be took a great in,
terest in politics, and his voice was often
heard in public assemblies. For years he
was the faithful counsellor Of his people, and
their confidence in him was attested In
their calling him TO important service and
70 positions OF Honor.
MIR. and Mrs. Bradley are fortunate In the
love and affection Of their children all OF
whom seem anxious 10 make them feel the
loss as lightly as possible. At present Mr..
ana Mrs. Bradley are with their daughter the
Btfe OF Judge KIugh at this place.

less unjust and u%ndignified In any Senator

that newspapers indulge in personalities in
