Ednor Press and Banner:
have read with great interest the proceed

for the port OF Charleston. The friends OF
both Messrs. Walker and Mowry have been
jealous in their behalf. and the controversy
has waxed 70 warm, rs even to engage Con-
gresham Dibble and Mayor Courtenay in q
most undigniied personal dispute, as the di-
rect fruit OF this unwillingnesS OF either Wal
her or Mowry 10 sacrifice their personal pride.
and subordinate their own interests for the
public good. we are threatened with the reten.
lion OF the present Republican Collector, and
we observe that that marplot Lem Guff1n has
been congratulated on his advancement with
increased pay. Now, as a citizen OF Abbeyille,
knowing Guffln and his antecedents, ] pro-
test against this selfshness Of the gentlemen

SlVS,Wh
Shaw township in our county has not yet
voted nor have Bolton and Williamson
nor has Aiken. IF these vote for local sub.
scriptions, they will probably swell! the
amount TO between $4,000 and SIS 1000.
We are not aware that the people Of Aiken
have as yet made any move towards voting a
local subscription. since the Charleston con.
ference. We think that Aiken should now
move forward and place herself in line with
the progressive localities that have already
|takcl: action. We expect q subscription OF
SS0,nm from Aiken, and we hope her people
will proceed at once to take Il vote OIL the ques.
ton.
In the meantime We presume that President
Hagood will call his directors together, and
proceed with that part OF the arrangement In
which Charleston will take q rart. 1t would
seem that the local subscriptions have gone
far enough to Warrant: the putting down OF
the contemplated mortgage, and an effort to
negotiate enough of the bonds to
the construction Of the road by September or
October, in which event it can be completed
to Edgrficld by January.
We hope everybody concerned will keep the
hall In motion, and that vigorous strokes Will
DO made while the iron Is hot.
