No (root advance baa ever been made In' ibe purer antl Ibe tweeter civilisation tbal rat sot proceeded by the aword and Ibe canboo, and no culture and refinement baa ever >een achieved or auatalned by any people who lid not have force behind tbam. Tbla la true no leaa of Individual* than of natlona. A weak and unarmed nation exlata merely by courteay, and muil aubmlt to any Indignity tbat may be beaped upon 1L The aaioe la true of tbe cltlxen.

Nations matter armlea and equip battleablpaaaa meaauro for defenee. *o tbe weak and otberwlae defenaeleaa citizen abt.uld be allowed to defend blmaelf. Self-protection la tbe flrat law of natme. Tbe State may not defend tbe eltlxen for Inault, neither bai tbe State tbe right to take tbe aide of the bully In bla attempt to oppreea or to trample under foot tbe weak and tbe defenaelaae. There nothing ou earth that baa ao quieting an influent* on tbe bully aa looking down the mouth of a piatol. And there la nothing that will more eaally make tbe bolly atay in bla plaoe than a piatol la tbe handa of a man wbo la ready to aboot. Without tbe piatol our civilisation would lapea Into barbarism. Pemonal aecurlt) to tbe weak would be a thing of tbe past, and a reign of terror would be organised by tboee wbo would trample tbe weak under loot. savin* thla we would not enooorage tbe daJljr carrying of pistols any mora than we would encourage the sending of squadrons of boetlle battleship* lotbe barbors of our peaceful neighbor*. We should not carry platola wltb n view to looking for trouble, but tbe el Usee should not be denied tbe right to defend himself against tbe Intruder. Believing as we do. the Preee and Banner hopes that the Leglalature may not place this oountry at the mercy of the bully, by forbidding good and peaceable man to defend themselves. Every bally In tbe land would no donbt be delighted lose* tbe proposed legislation enacted against the pistol. Ha would have bis own way than. Beak I can Speech. The recant homicide In Columbia baa been characterised aa "murder." Some of tbe newspapers wboaa editora ought to know bettar, than 10 apply that term to any one who baa not been convicted of the crime, have done so. Wa take It for granted that Tillman may not now notloe tbe characterisation of bis deed. At preeent ha baa enough to do to defend blmealf from the charge which will no be brought Into Court agalnet him, but when ba baa been tried and not oonvletad of "murder," be may turn his attention to tboee who have made tbamaelvaa liable to lndiotment for libel. If Tillman ba ao dlspoeed be certainly can teach a number of tbe brethren lesson wbicb they win cot toon forget. Any oroiner who a poke of the bomlcldo m "murder" lay btitu opportanlty lo defend hi rase1) la a salt for libel. The probability ofeoch eolt te not great, but It woaM eeem tbat editors, likeothers, should keep wltbln Ibe law. If Tillman doee not make an example of ecme of tbe brethren, aome one elaa may do so. Aa M Asethcr rsralters Factory. Anotbei farnltnre fkctory would be a good thing lor tbe people and lor tbe town. 800rwi of people apply at tbe existing factory for work, wbleb cannot be bad. To give these people employment would be well for employer and employee. A toolory with a capacity equal to tbe capacity of tbe existing factory can be bollt at a much leee cost than tbe first. The booses of tbe tarnllore lac lory, we believe, cost about w,000. As any boose tbat protects tbe machinery and men from tbe weatber would answer tbe porpoee, perbape $8,500 might bolld a boose to serve every porpoee. WUb the experleoce of tbe past, and with tbe lights before as, other savings might be effected.

Mr. Gordon came to Abbeville some two years ago, and irom bis first appearance Iu tbe pulpit ats Influence ban been felt. Klnoe be eame tbe eburcb has greatly prospered Tbe membership has Increatted and tbelr xesl has kept pace with the demand* of tbe times Between eighty and ninety members have been added under bis pastoral charge, end tbe contributions in money have increased In Ilka proportion. Mr. Gordon's suooess Is attributed largely to bis personal work. Whenever be can do so, be visits among tbe brethren, and bis visits have made btm friends, and from those frisnds comes bis success.

Po- I ite attention prevailed amoug those vithiu hearing distance ; farther away < he hum of voices oud shouts of unuppressed 'aughter arose on the air in inmistakatde volume. This was sac- ilege to the ears of Weak-£yed Jones. ro him no event was more solemn ban the preseut, and it seemed the ame dignity and reverence he felt ibould actuate tbe conduct of others. The air was sunocauug. r*any iu he day the heated atmosphere bad >ecome nature led with clouds of cboklug dust, which rolled into the city, aehiud hundred of incoming farmer's jouveyauceH. Hut Weak-Eyed Jones Look it ail with a generous degree of humility and uucomplainiug. A young couple at his elbow indulged jo busily iu conversation he could not hear the voice of the adjutant, yet he bore it silently. Even though his ubscure sight, years before made a I- most useless by a rebel minnie ball, which carried away the bridge of bis ose aud grazed both eyeq, was powsrless to penetrate the dust-heavy dintan oe between him and the speaker, be was secretly happy. His deductions were cut short by a ludden commotion at bis elbow. People were hurrying from their seats; the program must be over. He was carried alcng with the rest, toward the ipeaker's stand, but be hadeut guue Tar when he noticed someone trying to peak. Above the noise he cought the last phrase: "Will close with a selection by the young ladies' quartette." Then it wasn't over yet! There was to be one more number! He tried to be seated, but a buxom country woman lolsted hard against him, nearly sending him off his rheumatic leg*. The quartette commenced to sing, but their voices were drowned in the tumult of confuoiuu. Presently a drum corps somewhere ruit in t Hm Mtreet Mtruck un "Marching Through Georgia".the line commenced to form. Hurried along with the throng, Weak-Eyed June* took up a marchibg position with othens of bin blue-coated comrade The heat was still more stifling here, as they ntood waiting Tor what seemed like hours. Presently. Weak-Eyed began to grow faint. The morning bad found him physically indisposed, but never yet having missed meeting wi'b bis soldier comrades on the thirtieth of May, he didn't propose to to-day. It might be the last time.probably It would -but he'd go this once! The baud up tbe street struck up "The Btar-Hpangled Banuer''.be was Donscions of the column moving. He bad stood still so long bis legs were almost stiff and action made him stagger but with tbe use of his cane be maintained his balauce and mauaged to move along. Shouts of "Hurrah!" "Hurrah ."'greeted his ears from every ide. Proudly be lifted his head ana threw bis shoulders with unctious military dignity. mi MillK IttAPASO. lUB uvauuu wuiiuucu witu iii i ».i ed enthusiasm ma tbey passed up the street, tiotneoue tried to retaliate with a "Hurrah for the boys of '61!" but the voice was loet in the lusty tide of cheering for "The boys of '98!" Following tbe squad of soldiers came a bicvcle brigade, men on home back, ind, lastly, wagon loads of flower girls drested in while.wagons for strong, bealtby girls, while decrepit old veterans must ko afoot. As the long line rounded a corner And passed from the boulevard into an east and west thoroughfare, WeakEyed Jones tottered.Bravely be pulled bis remaining strength together and imbled on, his faltering footsteps unible to beat time to the rapid music. Many of bis comrades, too, bad long lince forgotten bow to march. And how few they numbered now.these veterans! Mount Zion cemetery was a beautiful spot.lifted above woods and sky |ust beyond where tbe lake nestled juietl v between two hillsides.tbe val- ley, with it* ribbon of a rivulet, windiug verdurelsden at its woody bane, the azure beaveus outlining its ureal white gates, its marble monuments, its flowering shrubery, its trees of green, with rare exactness beyond. Weak-Eyed Jones raised bis eyes to the bill yet in the distance. He could iee but the outline of the hallowed jpot rising against the lurid sky. His ipirit was awed 1 The heavy march was telling on his weakened body, bis steps were getting more and more uncertain. A momentary dizziness came over blm. "Hark" Suddentlv the ilfes and drums floated ;to bis ears with a strangely familiar sound. It took him Uack to the frout again, back to the days of '63! Once more he was a youth.strong, vigorous, in arms! And could thin, then, be Thomas, brigade?.and yonder.yonder hill.Missionary Ridge, where, proudly drawn in battle array, the Confederate legions awaited them calmly with a welcome of leaden death? And whence all tjils rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub-dub, that fired the very blood with in the veinn? Ah ! Foolish question! Why ask when there was " *1. Knul Vnhnilv hut aoiieis, iuc ui uumn *..

"Take the rille-pits at the bane, then halt aud reform !" Weak-Eyed Jones heard tiie order as clear as on the day it flred the souls of thousands of Union toldieni to battle and to victory. The march of many feet was heard; the the glint of polished bayonets seen. Ehe stars aud stripes stood straight to the breeze as like clockwork that human phalanx moved to obey. Was that the foe there, entrenched it the bass of the hill, calmly waiting with muskets primed aud ready ? Hut never a man did he see falter. Onward they pressed, with music roaring »ud Mug-, flying, into the fray and into the face of death. Then when the Urst volley had been met and passed, they were over the breastworks and upou the foe. He felt an absence 1 bout him then. He looked for Hi!ly, Billy was gone ! A bullet had carried Itim down at the first onslaught, he concluded. Then he saw the men in the trenches waver for a moment, club their muskets for a last feeble stand. 1'hat wa>« all ; then they tied. Tne federal troops, forgetting their ordera n the enthutdaam of the moment, were an quickly over (he rampart* and ifter then). through woods, over logs jartt gulches, and into the face of a uurderoua musketry from above ! Presently Weak-Kyed reeled ami fell rom the marching column, striking >Ih head as he fell, Grasping a shade ree by the aide of the thoroughfare, he J lowly raised himself to his koeea. 5 fiad he. too, been struck by a flying ml let?

There's work.for you.up there P' He indicated the hill with a wave of bis band. ''I tell you he's not drunk; he's sick." The man at bis side addressed someone near at band. In pity they tried to raise bim to bin feet. HIh legs would not support bim; he collapsed again at the f«»ot of the tree. A roll of drums floated acmes the valley and into the old man's ears. "Hark !" be exclaimed, raising himself with heroic effort, "I bear.tb' sound o' vict'ry!" Volleys of musketry rang out on tbe air. "Give It.to 'emboys !" ha added. "Chances are against him," a voice was beard to remark near by. "He must be taken to a physician." "Aw! He's only bad a drop too tUUCO I' unui, JL ICll juu, n/uiv uuv annwered. Weak-Eyed didn't bear; his whole mlod. hi* whole being was centered in another direction. Back of Ml. Zion's crest the sun began to set, and, presently, there came the long, low, solemn roll of drums.the slow, melancholy, almost human roll. *'Ah! it's.all.over?' he said, feintly. Only a few women were at bis side now. 'It's.ovor," be gasped, an'.Billy .you'll have t'.go. with tb' rest. into th' trencbeo.an' under the sod. But.not.me. They said.I c*d.go III A-It ft... borne.

Tbe columns swept past where Weak-Eyed Jonee was prone upon the grass. Someone stepped out to hail the passing vehicle. The mayor's carriage approached. "A jolly old drunk, there !" tbe occupants remarked, then bowled away up tbe street and out of hearing. A notner carriage swept by without a heed, a load of flower girls drew near. Tne anver wu beckoned to bait, bat hi* attention was centered upon bis ocreamiug, laughing passengers. The sun wa« now almost set. Presently Weak-Eyed Jones feebly raised himself upon bis emaciated elbow and peered with all tbe power be could muster through his almost »igbtless orbs in tbe direction of tbe bloodred sun and moved his lips to speak : "Yea.they're waiting.fer me, Billy. I wish.you.was.going.too!" he said. Later, when strange bands gathered from the wayside all that was moi tal of the dauotlesa soldier, a withered spray of honeysuckle slipped unheeded from his grasp. In tlie meantime the city had returned tbe noisy tenor of its way, and Memorial Day and Ita meaning bad all but become forgotten. J.

>een achieved or auatalned by any people wholid not have force behind tbam.Tbla la true no leaa of Individual* than of

and otberwlae defenaeleaa citizen abt.uld beallowed to defend blmaelf. Self-protection latbe flrat law of natme. Tbe State may notdefend tbe eltlxen for Inault, neither bai tbeState tbe right to take tbe aide of the bully Inbla attempt to oppreea or to trample underfoot tbe weak and tbe defenaelaae. There 1»

nothing ou earth that baa ao quieting an influent*on tbe bully aa looking down the

mouth of a piatol. And there la nothing thatwill more eaally make tbe bolly atay in bla

plaoe than a piatol la tbe handa ofa man wbo

la ready to aboot.Without tbe piatol our civilisation would

lapea Into barbarism. Pemonal aecurlt) to

tbe weak would be a thing of tbe past, and a

reign of terror would be organised by tboeewbo would trample tbe weak under loot.I» savin* thla we would not enooorage tbe

daJljr carrying of pistols any mora than we

would encourage the sending of squadrons ofboetlle battleship* lotbe barbors of our peacefulneighbor*. We should not carry platolawltb n view to looking for trouble, but tbeelUsee should not be denied tbe right to defendhimself against tbe Intruder.Believing as we do. the Preee and Banner

hopes that the Leglalature may not place thisoountry at the mercy of the bully, by forbiddinggood and peaceable man to defend themselves.Every bally In tbe land would no donbt be

delighted lose* tbe proposed legislation enactedagainst the pistol. Ha would have bisown way than.

Beak Ican Speech.The recant homicide In Columbia baa been

characterised aa "murder." Some of tbenewspapers wboaa editora ought to know bettar,than 10 apply that term to any one whobaa not been convicted of the crime, havedone so.Wa take It for granted that Tillman may

not now notloe tbe characterisation of bisdeed. At preeent ha baa enough to do to defendblmealf from the charge which will nobe brought Into Court agalnet him, but whenba baa been tried and not oonvletad of "murder,"be may turn his attention to tboee whohave made tbamaelvaa liable to lndiotmentfor libel.If Tillman ba ao dlspoeed be certainly can

teach a number of tbe brethren lessonwbicb they win cot toon forget. Any oroinerwho apoke of the bomlcldo m "murder"lay btitu opportanlty lo defend hirase1)

la a salt for libel.The probability ofeoch eolt te notgreat, but

It woaM eeem tbat editors, likeothers, shouldkeep wltbln Ibe law. If Tillman doee notmake an example of ecme of tbe brethren,aome one elaa may do so.

Aa M Asethcr rsralters Factory.Anotbei farnltnre fkctory would be a good

thing lor tbe people and lor tbe town. 800rwiof people apply at tbe existing factory forwork, wbleb cannot be bad. To give thesepeople employment would be well for employerand employee.A toolory with a capacity equal to tbe capacityof tbe existing factory can be bollt at

a much leee cost than tbe first. The boosesof tbe tarnllore laclory, we believe, costabout w,000. As any boose tbat protects tbemachinery and men from tbe weatber wouldanswer tbe porpoee, perbape $8,500 mightbolld a boose to serve every porpoee.
