JUDGE WILSON SICK.

The friends of Judge John S. VIII
son, of Manning, who is holding the
courts in the tenth circuit, will be
grieved to know that he is seriously
sick at Anderson. Some weeks ago
he held court there, and at that time
was taken ill. He recovered however,
and went on with his work. Last
Monday he returned to Anderson to
hold a session of the Court of Com
mon Pleas. He was attacked with a
fainting spell on last Wednesday
while on the bench, and was forced
to adjourn court, since which time
he has been confined to his room.
Judge Wilson underwent a serious
operation soon after he was elected
to the bench but seemingly recovered
from it.

N. c. TROOPS SPEND
AN HOUR IN ABBEVILLE

The coming of battalion of North
Carolina troops to- Abbeville last
week was a pleasant break in the rou-
tine life of our little town. The men
were making the trip to the border
over the Seaboard and stopped here
for an hour and half for work on
the engine. The soldiers marched
up town from the Shops and were
swarming on the square before any
one knew they were in town. Busi-
ness stopped for the time of their stay
and the boys were greeted by many
interested well wishers, and received
many heart cheers. During their stay
they were formed in line and went
through setting up exercises on the
square and were marched up to the
Graded school building where the
children were turned out to greet
them, singing patriotic songs and en-
joying the sight Of a real oIdier. On
their return the High schooi glris and
boys were in line in front Of Barks-
dale's where the soldiers stopped
and went through drill; smanouvers
and two of the ttirrepreslble" treat
ed tha crown to an exhibition Of gen.
uine old fashioned dancing, which
has been much in vogue, since among
the young boys around town.
The North Carolina boys were
fine looking young men and it was a
pleasure to have them stop in our
town. The battalion was in command
OF ajor W. b. Phillips who was known
to some Of or people, having gradu-
ated from Erskine collage some years
ago. He says that he knows all about
the singing of the Psalms and how
to keep the. Sabbath holy, which he
finds pretty ! difficult proposition
while in the army. His boyhood
friends will be glad to know that he
looks every inch a major and is en-
joying his military service.
