Yet neither heard the distant changing of the
car bells; and the odor of laurel seemed to
both to fill the city air. Then, quietly, as
though moving in dream, the man rose and
went into the dark library. He did not stop
his humming of the old song, nor did she.
But he put his arms about her and kissed the
gray hair and the tired wrinkles in her face
And neither heard the song that the Van

empty house next door; nor the tune of the
caretakers concertina, back between the
lonely rows of vacant dwellings.

The Cotton Mill.

Manager and Treasurer Moore Is now In
control of the Abbeville Cotton Mil.
Mr.. G. A. Nisanska is president.
Mr.. ]. Foster Barnwell is bookkeeper.
Mr.. Putnam, recently superintendent OF the
Mills mill at Greenville, is superintendent.
He now holds the position which Superin-
tendent E. A. Thompson has held. 1t was
not rumored until yesterday that a new
superintendent had been appointed. The
Press and Banner sought to verify the state
ment by interviewing Mr.. Thomson who
said that II WAS true that he was out. He had
intlmatlon OF the contemplated change
Thursday oflast week. Mr.. Putnam, his sue.
cessor, took charge yesterday.
Mr.. Thompson expressed kindly feeling
for his successor and wished that his efforts
might be crowned with great success. He
wouldn't give out any word for publication.
except to express his good wishes for the
mill and all concerned in 1t.
While MIR. Visanska and Mr.. Barnwell
hold nearly all the local stock In the mill. 1t
Is true that all our people feel more or less
interest In its success. and are therefore In
terested in any change that may take place
in the offices of that enterprise.
1t Ia certain that the local stockholders
fully appreciate Mr.. ~Thompson's worth, and
at their suggestion.
Mr.. Thompson has been superintendent o.
the mill for about ten years, or during the
entire period OF its existence, except about
one year after Its establishment. The editor
OF the Press and Banner feels that he Is a
competent witness as 10 bis conduct OF the

Not Ready to Excuse Him.

About len days ago, Mr.. B. 8. Barnwell
Cashier ofthe National Bank, without any
premonition, suddenly suffered from an at
tack OF internal hemorrhage, which was fol-
lowed by two other attacks during the same
day. The old gentleman, without consulting
his friends as to the propriety OF his act. ap'
preached very near to the brink. His friends
are delighted. however, 10 know that he has
reconsidered all thoughts of leaving us al
present. He is now on the road to the
recovery Of his health and 10 the resumption
Of his place Ia the bank.
Mr.. Barnwell is now one Of the few OLD
citizens OF the wi He came TO the city
soon after the war and engaged In the mer-
camille business for years. For the twenty.
two years he has been the efficient cashier Of
The National Bank, and our people love him.
They have further need for him. They have
faith In him. For these reasons they are not
yet ready TO excuse him from the field OF
activity and from the sphere OF usefulness.
Having been q most excellent citizen, and
having served the welfare OF Abbeville In
many ways he must stay longer with us and
do more for US.
The Episcopal church needs him. The
Bank needs him. And we all need him. He
is the oldest member OF the Episcopal church.
having been q regular ate dant for forty
years. And he has been for that time a
pillar In the congregation.
Although he has passed his three-soore
years and ten. he is a notable figure on our
streets. Steady OF step. graceful In carriage.
square In shoulder, with head erect. To-
gether with apparel. which Is heater than
that OF ON old maid, mark him wherever he IL
seen, as OF the old school OF South Carroll ma
gentlemen.
His heart is all right, too. II is not only
good, but 1t Is young. He loves his fellow
man. No man In town has ever done more
deeds Of kindness or given more cheering
council or impaired a greater noourage
ment TO the struggling. His genial and
frank manne draw us all to him.
AS a public spirited citizen. he stands
abreast with the foremost. In building the
the cotton mill, he and Mr.. Visanska were
two Of the mainstays, when the aggregation
of mainstays were few indeed. Aud the
world will never know the peril into which
these gentlemen placed their estates In be.
half Of that enterprise. which has resulted In
such good to the town.
Although he made a close call, although he
scared us for a time, all will be forgiven. II he
stronger day by day. he must get up again
and make US all glad by his presence for
years yet to come.

fundamentally Eyidence.,'

The Laurensrille Herald and the News and
Courier are trying TO convince each other as
to which is right about the most enthusiastic
story OF the naming OF Laurens County.
The Press and Banner, could give a most In
teresting story, even If incorrect, along that
line, II the files OF this newspaper can be re-
LIED upon, and the brethren know that the
Press and Banner generally has things right.
By referring to that story as IT appeared
years ago, we think the county was named
for John Laurens, the sou OF Henry LanreDs
who was president Of the continental COLI
gress, and who was captured on the sea, and
who afterward at the suggestion OF the Brit
ish took up his abode In the tower of London
for two years. His son, John Laurens, was
living in London at the beginning OF tue
troublous times. Alter attending a military
wedding In that city, he became Impressed
with the patriotic idea OF coming To the res
cue OF his country. He left Epgland on the
afternoon OF the marriage and never saw the
bride again. His milltery experience In
London made bill reckless. " lille we were
not present at the time, yet tradition or his
tory, has 1t that he needlessly exposed him
| self'to the fire OF the enemy and was killed
ON the Tom bigbee river-being the last man
10 lose his lie IN the Revolutionary war.
| The daughter of John Laurens' marriage
married a clerk In the Bank OF England,
named Henderson. He was dnll and not ex'
ceedingly interesting to a bright and beautl-
ful woman Of charming manner. They sepa-
rated. Henderson came 10 this country bring
ing with him h son by that marriage Hell
derson married in this country. The son
| tn ought his mother WAS dead. In taking a
post graduate course In England. he discover
ed hat his mother was still living. He came
| from his fathers home In Vermon TO Able
willie to live with his kinsfolk the McLaurins
and the McBrides.
vorce procee dings, in England, the property
| was TO 20 TO the children OF Henderson. In
| case he bad no children then the property
| was to revert TO the Laureps family. Hen.
lderson's mother lived TO be ninety.ive years
old, and after young Hendersou's death a.
Abbeville al the age OF forty.hve. she re-
ceived the rents from that large estate known
as the "Laureps lands" In this county until
| her death. Captain Ed Henderson OF this
county, If be had been born in wedlock.
would have Inherited the estate, and this in.
| herItance would nave made him rich. The
story as we have 1t, is that Laurens County
was named for John Laureps. We may some
day republish an interesting story about the
Laurepses, whether true or not, would mai
ter little.
