The prince of Wales succeeded tc

The Judge Judged.

It not infrequently happens that mayors
get into personal, difficulties and encoun'
ters, try themselves in their own court
and fine themselves according to law, but
Il Is q little unusual for a Judge to fall
Into the Juror OF a fight and be tried and
,fned in his own court.
Such q case happened last week when
Judge Nash Broyles Of the Atlanta Police
Court had an encounter with Chef Jentzer
OF the Sanitary Board. Judge Broyles
dismissed certain cases Of drivers spilline
dirt on the streets, cases preferred by
chief Jentzen, and the chef was mad be-
cause he dismissed them 30. The chic
said things to the Judge that made the
Judge mad and the episode ended In
lovely fight, a regular ten-dollar-and-cents
fight. Mayor Maddox tried the cas- and
fined each OF the beligerants the conven'
tienal $1o.75.
Darky town turned out en-masse to see
the Judge judged. From time immemoria
the Judge had fined, admonished, lectured
them on the evils Of losing temper ano
fighting and here the Judge takes his OWL
medicine. It was too good to miss and
they we're there.

Goveror Patterson OF Tennessee, last
week pardoned Duncan B. Cooper for the
killing Of Senator Carmack. The Supreme
court had just affirmed the verdict Of the
lower court placing Cooper in the p~eniten-
itary for 20 years.
The governor may know something
about the case that the public does not
know. II he does he is duty bound to let
the public know. Unless he does know
something that we do not know he has
erred egregiously in thus p~ardoning a con-
Wet before he has even served a day.
Governor Patterson comes from an Able
Vile family. The family moved to Tenn
essee many years ago from the lower part
Of the county. There Is a bridge named
after the family, which spans Long Cane
creek on the road from Abbeville to Troy,
Governor Patterson must be a pretty
good. man, for such we're his progenitors'
We dislike to think any evil Of a grand son
Of Abbeville county but the pardoning OF
the convict in this manner even before a
petition was presented looks queer. The
Governor might have waited until
Coopers friends got up a petition, which
they would have been sure to have done
All big convicts nowadays resort to the
petition as a last resort, and had the gov
ernor waited only a very short while he
would have had some show Of a on
his side.

Trolley Line for AbbeviIIe.

We publish elsewhere in this issue a
clipping from the Greenville News in
which the statement is made that the
Anderson Bolton Trolley line, will certainly
be extended to either Abbeville OF Green
wood. There is no douot that this is q
fact, and though the road may 60 to both
Abbeville and Greenwood, if the people Of
Abbeville sit quitely down and depend on
getting the road, it may go to Greenwood
and to Greenwood alone.
There is no better town in the world
than Abbeville, as far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough. II we are con-
tent to be a finished town we have but to
surrender all of the external developing
influences to our neighboring towns. II
we have no use for rail roads trolley lines,
cotton mills, etc let is dismiss the
Thought Of these things and begin the
sleep that knows nc awakening.
Our people have bought and sold real
estate at high prices about as long as it is
possible to do so. We are like a lot Of fish
shut up in a pond who if they grow fat
must do so by eating their fellows.
Abbeville has about as much money as
any Of the towns above Columbia. 1t has
better farm lands than almost any county
in the up country. 1t is nearer the water
power on Savannah River than any large
town. It has both the Southern and Sea-
board roads. 1t has fewer commercial
failures than any city in the state. There
Is no reason why this may not be one Of
the largest, as tits one Of the best towns
in the state, except that we do not SO
will it.
We will begin to build another cotton
mill In a few months. This will be a new
start. Now Abbeville simply must have
the trolley, whether by way Of Due West
or Antreville makes no difference. Nc
better country can be found than this
along either route. 1t is the t"olly we
want, and our people through representa-
tives should assure the promoters Of the
trolly extension that will do all that can
be asked Of US, to secure it.
The City Council should take up this
matter and open communications with the
promoters Of the trolly extension at once

Alexander CheveS Haskell.

Judge Alexander Chevcs Haskell passed
to the beyond one week ago today. He
had been operated on Tuesday night and
did not rally from the shock. Mr.. Has
kell was in his list year, a good old age.
MI. Haskell is known in this country as
the leader Of the Haskell Independent
Movement against Ben Tillman in 1890
Judge Haskell had held both the Offices
OF District and Supreme Court Judge. AT
one time he wa q railroad president, being
at the head of the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad. He was also president
at one time of the Loan and Exchange
Bank.
He had been identified with oil Column
bias interests in one way or another, and
the city will miss him.
He was a gallant soldier in the Confed-
crate service, and in the stormy days of
1876 there were few men in the State who
rendered more valuable service.

Not Lost but Gone Before.

This morning about half past five O'Clock
death angel visited home Of Mr.. George R,
o. Richardson and bore his spirit to that
upper and better world. He was sixty years
Of age, and had been sick only a week
Congestion of the lungs being his trouble.
He leaves an aged wife six children four
grandchildren, besides other relatives and
a host of friends to mourn his death. He
was a consistent member of the ~Presbyter.
ian Church, and a nan Of uprightness, and
integrity, and was held in high esteem by
his many friends.
Funeral services were heldin upper Long
Cane Church, conducted by Rev. 4. 2. Tel
ford. Interment took place Immediately
afterwards. In LongCane cemetery, as his
body was laid in it's last resting place
friends sweetly sang asleep in Jesus.May
God ever comfort and cherish the sad
hearts Of the bereaved family, may he also
strive with their young hearts and throug
the fundamentally of his son Jeaus, may
they be useful in thy hands.
Farewell loved one we hope to meet you
on that beautiful shore, where there will
be no more sickness, pain, or death, and
God himself shall wipe all tears from ouI
eyes. - One who loved him.

Ninety-three to Fourteen.

Ninety three divorces against fourteen
weddings on last Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday was Atlanta's record.
This was not in Omaha or Chicago or
New York, it was in Atlanta, Georgia.
Where lies the trouble? What is the
matter with us? Whose fault is it that
the sanctity of the home has become a
play thing, a shuttle cock, to be batted
about the courts at the will of any one?
| A fault it is and no one will deny it, but
whose fault is it. Is it because u min
listers do not preach to us on the s~anctlty
of the home, taking it for granted that
we are alright in that respect? Is it be-
cause we are beginning to feel that the
old Southern home life was too narrow
and hide bound for the twentieth century?
Is it because we are emulating our neigh
bors over Mason's Line" thinking that
we can excuse ourselves by saying that
they set US the example?
Is it because the people of the South
are stepped in human depravity to q
degree never reached before?
Ninety three to fourteen!
1t gradually gets worse. We see it, we
deplore it, we shake our heads and grunt
disapprobation but the evil grows steadily.
| The principle reason, we believe for the
growing evil is the sanction that the law
Of the land places on it. The law in so
many words says, Eyes it is good to get
- l;-or.a ~ ri1,ac Eyni1 q aprfain Immunity
that you wish, it frees you from disagree
able entanglements." The law says, 81
will make your separation respectable. I
am great and respected and what say or
do is respected, I will render urdivorces
respectable in the eyes Of the world.
The law has nothing to do with a mans
marrying, what right has it to inter-
meddle with his unmarrying? They tell
US that all law is based on biblical law.
How does the divorce law square with
Biblical law think you?
We are begged, implored, beseeched to
revere, uphold, stand by, and die by the
law. The law would be much more re-
spected if certain sectio.l is cut out, certain
limbs Topped off, and the divorce court is
one in question.
Ninety three to fourteen!
The basic principle of u government
is tt : home. Just what the homes Of our
land are just that our government will be.
Let the spirit Of reverence and sancity,
permeate the homes Of this land and the
government will be impregnable. Let
i~rreverenc and perversion and proclamation
and %reprobation characterize our homes,
and the government will disintegrate
quickly.
A mans home is his castle, his strong
fort. With his castle safe from the hands
OF the enemy he feels self respecting, self
reliant, strong. He feels his sovereignty.
Break into his castle and despoil his house
hold gods and you make Of him a drifting
derelict, a dipping needle.

Shooting last Saturday Morning.

What might have been a tradgedy but
what really resulted in nothing more
serious than a flesh wound was enacted
In West End on last Saturday morning II
the shooting Of Mr.. O'Bren by Mr.. Mays
Mr.. O'Brien was up very early on Satur
day morning to meet a train on the Sea-
board on which he expected his wife from
Atlanta. Returning to his home he sci
his alarm clock at half-past five In order
that he might be at his stables to start MI
wagons to hauling granite early In thu
morning. He did not go to sleep agair
and when his alarm clock struck he arose
and dressed himself preparatory to going
to his stables. On leaving his house anc
approaching the house Of Mr.. Mays he
heard Mr.. and Mrs. Mays talking excitedly
to one another. AS he rounded the corner
he heard a noise at a window and the next
thing he knew he was shot. He was on
the sidewalk, walking rather fast and
swinging his arm and as his arm swung
in front Of him, 1t caught the load. Not
understanding what to make oft he called
to Mr.. Mays and asked him what he meant
by thus shooting him but received no
answer. He even took a few steps back
toward the gate to inquire what Mr.. Mays
meant but receiving no answer and motto
Ing that he was losing blood proceeded to
consult q doctor. While standing in the
street he heard Mrs. Mays exclaiming,
don't kill my child, please don't kill my
child. o, what will I do" Mr.. OBrien
says that he proceeded to the doctors and
when he arrived on the square told the
police Of the occurrence. Mr. johnson who
was on the square at the time started to
90 up to the scene OF the shooting alone
when he, Mr.. OBrien, told him that it
would be safer to take some one with him
for the man was evidently crazy.
: Mr.. O'Brien In narrating the affair to
the police said that he had never spoken
to Mrs. Mays but once in his life and that
wss when she asked him to examine a COW
which he did In the presence Of Mr.. Wright.
Mrs. Mays told the same story to police,
verifying Mr.. OBtens statement. She
said ,that she had never spoken to Mr..
O'Bren but once in her life and that was
when she had asked him to examine a COW
for her.
All Of Mrs. Mays neighbors speak in the
very highest terms Of her. Those who
know her intimately say that she is above
Sreproach, and they can only explain the
conduct Of Mr.. Mays on the grounds that
It was due to mental ALTERATION.
Mr.. Mays has disappeared. He left
directly after the shooting and has not
been heard from up to the present time.
{ Mr.. O,Briens wound is not at all serious
and he has not lost any time from his
business on account Of it.

Deep ploughing has come to stay. 1t is
recognized now as essential to good yields.
In the west the steam pillow has been used
for several years. With one OF these
plows q man can break up about ten times
as much land as with a single pillow and at
the same time do it better.
Who will be the first to introduce this
novelty into AbbevilIe County? Such a

do in the fall Of the year. The steam
