MRS.. WILSON FINDS
AN INTERESTING PAPER
Editor Press and Banner:

Editor Press and Banner:
came across a curiosity this
morning in shape of copy Of The
Abbeville Press and Banner pub
Eshed November 3, 1859. 1t is so
different from newspapers of today
that 1 think your readers might en-
Joy a short write up of its contents.
On the first page / find articles with
such titles as "Increasing Mortali-
ty in the United States" "Dyihg, I"
"Save Him." "Habits of the
Jaboons," ."Eyes Open," and "What
Constitutes a Good Farmer" There
is also a poem with the good advice
aKe.,p Your Troubles To Your
SELF as it's title. On the second page
I find a detailed account of the
first days trial of John Brown and
his fellow conspirators in the raid
at Harper's Ferry. The trial was
held at Charlestown, Va, and be-
sides John Brown, who was called
Captain Brown, two negroes, Cope
land and Green, were tried. A law
yer by the name Of Faulkner was
appointed to defend the prisoners
who had no attorney, but Mr..
Faulkner refused and Lawson Bolts
was appointed. I should like to
read in detail the story Of that trial
which resulted in the hanging Of
the, men guilty Of the awful crime
1t is interesting to know that the
Daughters of the Confederacy are
now collecting funds to build a
monument in memory of a faithful
negro slave who gave his life rather
than Join the men who were prepar-
iag to attack his masters home.
On the second page of the Banner
find also an account of the annual
commencement of the Cokesbury
Masonic Female College which &C
count states that T. A. Connor had
resigned his position as President OF
the Academy. Resolutions Of regret
Mt his resignation were signed by
F. F. Gary, Secretary Board OF
Trustees. Just below this is tri-
bute to John B. Morrah, member
Of Caldwell Lodge A. F. M, who
had passed away. This tribute was
signed by W. D. Mars, Secretary.
The balance Of the paper, con-
xisting of two and one half pages, as
Izrge as the pages of your paper
now, is filed with advertisements
Of all kinds. One is for Superin-
tendent for the Lethe School, anoth.
sr advertises the election of an
sverseer for the poor house farm
One asks why owners do not insure
the lives Of their slaves; some ad-
vertise hoop skirts, delaines, shawls
and ladies' bonnets, as well as all
binds of goods for negroes wear.
Cine or two advertise cigars and TO-
bacco and two or three mems cloth

part of the space IS taken up by ad

and administrators of estates. These
ads contain lists of property of all
kinds, land, furniture, houses, tools,
grain etc., but in every one the most
prominent item is the negro. By
acteal count there are four hundred
and forty-fve advertised in this one
issue of the paper. wonder if any
body could imagine the grief and
actual suffering caused by such
sales. My mother told me how, at
the sale of her fathers estate,
which is advertised in this paper,
her maid, who had been given to
her when a young girl and had
grown to womanhood as her per-
sonal servant, was sold. The maid
had a child some three or four years
old and in spite of her pleadings,
the child was sold to slave trader
while the mother was sold to a
planter in the neighborhood.
1 am a Southern woman by birth
and at heart. and I am a loyal
Daughter of the Confederacy, proud
of the fact that my ancestors
fought for our own loved South,
but I, like many other Southern
women of today, am truly thankful
that slavery is a thing of the past
and that human beings are no long
er bought and sold as goods and
chattels."
In reading and counting these
ads 1 wonder if your predecessors,
tDavis and Crews, did not grow rich
on the proceeds Among the estates
advertised are those of B. M. Cheat
ham, Mrs. Isabella E. Smith, A.
Waller, James L. Pratt, John Ruff,
Jane D. Power, Gabriel Cox, Joseph
Taylor, Philip Cromer, John Gray,
Willis Buchanan, Thos. j. Lyon,
Aiken Brazeall, Joshua Davis, Mrs.
Jane Robinson, Lewis Smith,
Charles Dendy and Abram Lites.
Many of the legal ads are signed
by W. H. Parker and Joseph T..
Moore, Charles T. Haskell adver-
tises his house and lands as the
"Cabbin" four miles from Abbe-
vile; James j. Gregg & Co., adver-
tise for hands for their factory at
Varecluse offering good wages and
comfortable home. Chase, McKin-
ney & Co., Of Boston advertise the
', celebrated copper toe" shoes
/ which remember as the pet aver
sin of my childhood days. But in
the whole paper did not find a
single whiskey advertisement and I
wonder. if it is because the editors
were temperance men.
On the whole the paper Is an in
teresting curiosity and in spite Of
it's sixty-three years Of age, contains
names and facts which will be
readily recalled by many of your
readers.
