What IN" Sees and Hears on His
Rounds About the City and Along
Route No. ;.
Corrected Statement

In last weeks issue of the Press &
Banner 1 unintentionally made an err
roneous statement, but made it as
given me and so stated. The state
ment was that one of the Abbeyille
County guards knocked m Of the
County convicts in the head with the
butt Of his gun, from which he died
in the County Jail Saturday night"
The facts as given me by Supervis-
or Stevenson are thus:
AS the Convict wagons arrived In
town Saturday afternoon, they had
aboard a strapping young buck who
swore he would die before he would
work, and as the wagon stopped he lit
out on leg bail, the guard after him,
who soon headed him off twice, but
seeing he was bent on getting away,
he hit him with the butt Of his gun
and knocked some of his wont work
sense out of him, and got him ready
for good work Monday morning. The
guard was perfectly justified, as he
could have shot him down, just as
we'll and been exeronated by high
authority.
AS there is another negro in the
case we will explain chapter second.

CARELESS DRIVING
(Mary Geisreiterl.

It may be hard to believe but it is true that it is much easier to drive the right way than it is to do it the wrong way. We have laws for our protection; why not obey them and thereby insure our own safety and the safety of others who drive on our streets and country roads.
 Man is creature of habit and all he needs to do is to train his mind for little while and it will be as natural for him to keep to the right of the street as to go peacefully ambling down the center or racing down the left side. If we must go fast at least we must keep our eyes and ears open and use some common sense about small decrease in speed for corners and bad places in the road. If we don's we're likely to find ourselves in eternity in a short time.
 The well known fact that most men can do only one thing at time ap- plies especially to driving. If you intend to take your place on the great high road it makes no difference whether you drive street car, auto mobile, carriage and pair or dump cart with little old donkey attach ed: drive with all your attention fixed on the road ahead. Train your self to do it the right instead of the wrong way. Try it and see if it is not much easier for yourself and all who pass that way.
