learning as the average college grad
uate.
To the casual Observer, during the
years of my acquaintanceship with
him, he might have appeared as a
stole, little in communion with his
fellow man; but TO his nearer friends,
WHO caught glimpses of his inner
soul, he was truly a great and gen
erous man.
He was too honest and self-re-
specting to just agree with one for
the sake of harmony and agreement.
He hated hypocrisy as the devil hates
holy water. He would rather offend
a friend than to be a hypocrite.
He never told me of the good
things he did. Others told me of
them, or / should never have known
Of them. He was generous almost to
a fault, and knew sometimes he de-
MED himself some comforts so that
he might give to those near and dear
to him.
But, it was not only in the giving
OF material things that he was gen
erous. He was broad minded and
tolerant with and towards those who
differed with him IN religion and pol
itics. This | know from personal ex-
perience. He despised no form of re-
| ligion, believing firmly in his own
and claiming as inalienable, the right
to think and act for himself, he cf.aer-
fully and gladly accorded the same
right to others. He was too big tc
hate. The weaknesses and follies thai
he saw, only excited his pity.
Such man, cultured and refined
naturally would not pass through life
without being honored as he was, b,
! being elected to serve our beloved
city as mayor. A welt-poised mind
like his, would naturally beget toler
alton and broad-mindedness Durins
the political storms of his administra
tions, his almost judicial attitud,
stood out in bold relief from the in
tolerance and hot-headedness of oth
ers, and when the storms ragged mos
! fiercely, to see his stalwart strength
| standing by law and order, was in
deed refreshing.
A great and good and pure MAJ
has lived his life among US, and ha
left his good example, which we per
haps unconsciously, BY our admira
| tiln Of it, try faithfully to immitate
Men of his type leave their hal
lowed memories behind, and | and tn
city of Pensacola, and all those VIII
came in touch with him wore thereb,
made better, nobler and purer.

MR.. s. E. BosDELL AT REST

Mr.. s. E. Bosdell was called to his
reward Thursday morning suddenly
while out at his work in the field,
his death being due to heart failure.
His unexpected death came as a Sc
we're shock to his children and many
others who knew him. The funeral
and interment was held !, at Eberne-
zer at II o'clock Friday in the pres
ence of his loved ones and many
friends.
Mr.. Bosdell was about II years Of
age and was a highly respected citi-
zen of the county and held in high
esteem by those who were associated
with him. He is survived by three
daughters, Mrs. G. T. Wilson, Mrs.
W. J. E. Scott, Mrs. r. L. Scott, of
Greenwood, and five sons, J. P. Bos-
dell, J. L. Bosdell, W. A. Bosdell,
C. H. Bosdell, and Rev. D. W. Bos-
dell of Mississippi, who had been
here filling the Baptist pulpit during
the absence of DR.. Swope.
The sympathy of many is extend
ed to the family in the sudden be-
reavement.

LECTURE ON SWITZERLAND.

The Travelog on Switzerland for.
Thursday night, bids fair to be the
very best of all, at least SO far as
the pictures are concerned. There
are 101 slides, and SO of them are.
highly colored. The scenes cover
almost the entire land Of Switzer-
land, and no one who can possibly
come, should fail to see these pic
lures.
If the lecturer is any judge Of
the quality Of the artistic work on
the slides, he has said that he did
not see how some Of the others could
be surpassed, but this travelog does,
surpass all those before from the
artists standpoint. As to the in
terest in the lecture itself, that OF
course largely depends on ones likes
and dislikes, but the exquisite
beauty of the scenery will go long
way towards explaining why SO
many thousands of tourists used to
90 to Switzerland before the late
began.

MR.. BENETS COMMUNICATION
PROVES VERY INTERESTING

Cashiers, N. c., March 21, 1917.
Editor The Press and Banner:
NV communication on the last
meeting Of the Confederate Cabinet,
which appeared in your columns
three weeks ago, seems to have been
generally copied and widely read.
It has brought me several letters;
and I take the liberty Of publishing
one which came from an old-time
Laurens friend. It gives some in
teresting particulars Of incidents
during the closing days Of the Con-
federacy which I am sure your Alb
beville readers will find to be en-
tertaining. The writer Of the fol-
lowing letter is William A. Sullivan,
ST., of Ware Shoals. His wife, still
living, is q niece Of Thomas c. Per
rim. Her maiden name was Mary E.
Quarles.

ABOUT THE LECTURES.

The illustrated lectures delivered
by Rev. q. Waddell Pratt every
Thursday night in the Court House
are treats which have not before
been the fortune of Abbeville peo-
pie to enjoy. It has always been
said of Abbeville that her people
did not care for lectures and they
enjoyed only the light and frivol-
Gus things that were afforded by
other forms of entertainment, and
that her people had never been edu-
Gated to enjoy such dry, uninterest-
ing things as lectures. This may be
partly true, but it Is being proved
that all lectures are not dry and un-
interesting, for one has only to go
to the Court House any Thursday
evening to see the crowds that en-
joy the instructive, well-prepared
talks that Mr.. Pratt makes, and the
beautiful pictures that are. thrown
on the. screen as we open our eyes
to the beauty, wonder and gran
deur of things at home and abroad.
To Mrs. Greene, for the 'concep-
ton and carrying out of this plan
and to Mr.. Pratt for his bright and
intelligent lectures are due the
thanks and praise Of our entire COM
munity. We are not only learning
and profting from these lectures,
but they are training our boys and
girls to appreciate the beautiful and
intellectual, and as one who has
thoroughly enjoyed these evenings
of "Picture and Story" feel that
echo the sentiment Of many others
who have attended them, in express
ing to the Civic Club, Mrs. Greene
and Mr.. Pratt our thanks and ap-
probation. Mrs. Amos B. Morse.

METHODIST EDUCA-
TIONAL CAMPAIGN

The Methodists of South Carolina
are attempting this spring great
thing for their educational institu-
ticns. This is nothing less than a
whirlwind campaign to raise during
the month Of April the sum of three
hundred thousand dollars. The
schools are handicapped by debt
which has hindered expansion and
prevented needed equipment. No in
stitutions have better served the
people of South Carolina than Wof-
ford, Columbia, and Lander; and
the plan is, by one united whole
hearted effort, to wipe out the in
debtedness and at the same time,
add something to their: endowment.
Spartanburg, the home of Wofford
College, has magnifcently led the
way, raising in canvass last fall
nearly fifty thousand dollars to-
word this fund. 1t is a big under
taking, but by no means an impos-
sible one to over a hundred thous-
and Methodists. The leaders are
confident of success.

THE HEROES.

/ Quite a little excitement for Joe
Little and Owen Speed on Monday
night about II o'clock when a
muslrat ran across in front of
Cason & McAllister's store just as
they were coming down the street.
Bad luck for the poor muskrat be-
cause it happened to be rainy night
and both had umbrellas handy and
the muskrat soon met its fate. The
animal of its kind, is the largest ever
seen here and it was quite q curl
osity for those who saw it Tuesday

Nay, 1866. One ching brings out
another. My wife, Mary E. Quarles,
often visited her uncle, Col. Thomas
Perrin, and her cousins. There was
a nice little box or travelling case
left by Judah P. Benjamin, for Col.
Perrin to take care of until sent
for. It was placed on the side-board
and no one was allowed to look into
it. After traffic was opened on the
railroads the owner sent for this
cabinet. My recollection is it be-
longed to Mr.. Benjamin. My wife
says she often saw it, but has no
idea what it contained.
A few weeks after the surrender,
q Confederate soldier, dressed in a
roundabout coat and gray pants,
rode up to my house at Tumbling
Shoals. He told me he was General
Samuel Ferguson, of Mississippi,
and he had passed through Lau-
rens short time before this. He
commanded the escort Of President
Davis, and had guarded him to
Washington, Ga. He went into camp
with fifteen hundred cavalry men.
That night the train from Augusta,
Ca, brought the news that General
Joseph johnson had surrendered at
Greensboro, N. c., The soldiers on
reception of this news commenced
saddling up and leaving the camp.
Next morning he reported to General
Breckenridge that he had only a
hundred men left The General
commanded him to pay off those SOL
diers and dismiss them, which he
did.
The last he saw Of President Da-
Wis and officers they were moving
off toward Macon. A scout had just
reported to General Breckenridge
that the Union cavalry were in ten
miles of Washington, Ga. The Cen
eral put spurs to his horse and went
off in a gallop down the road. This
was the last sight of our Confeder-
ate officials seen by General Fergu-
son.
He rode up by the Savannah
River until he was opposite Wal
halla, and stayed at that place and
rested; and then came by here on
his way to Darlington to see his
wife's people.
remember you well, Judge,
when you came over from Cokes-
bury to our Mt. Bethel camp-meet-
ings. Afterwards, often saw you
at Abbeville when you were reading
law.
I was then looking out for a CO.
partner myself, and I found her in
Miss Mary E. Quarles, who is still
here, petting up her old man.
Yours truly,
VIM. A., Sullivan, Sr.
To. the foregoing interesting let
ter I need hardly add that the Judah
|P. BENJAMIN mentioned was the
famous New Orleans lawyer, who
was the Attorney General, and a
member of Mr.. Davis's Cabinet.
His book, benjamin on Sales," is
known to all lawyers as a leading
+ox+- -hook Aftar the sl1rrender. he
went to England, was admitted to
the Bar in London, and was soon
recognized as one of the most sue
cessful barristers there. No doubt
the box referred to by Mrs. Sulli-
van was his official dispatch box as
Attorney General. &c.. -. .

TROUBLES ALSO

MELBOURNE are no linn

noon, to his own surprise and that of
everybody else, the police arrested
Mr.. j. Swebleses at the Yarra bank
shortly after he had finished his Gus
tomary propaganda speech from the
Socialist Party's platform. He was
Immediately taken to the lookup,
and it was there ascertained that he
had to undergo Imprisonment for
three weeks owing to non-payment
of fine imposed upon him in con-
nection with the production of "The
Glories of War" The fine was els,
with costs. Secretary Swebleses has
not fi5, and does not feel disposed
to put up the money. In-connection
with the same pamphlet, the printers
were heavily fined, and this fine
had naturally to be met.
