The PrODer Sentiment.

The augusta Chronicle gives utterance to the
following sentiment, which we think, should
meet the approval OF every citizen:
.'Thc friends Of Major Bacon take no stock
in this cry OF "Court House ciiques The at
tempt to array the people in the country
against the people in the town, characterising
executive committees and mass meetings as
"packed" and Observation-Disclosures odium
upon all party machinery by which the State
was redeemed. Gen. Gordon himself elected
TO the United States Senate and party suprcm.
acS maintained in this State, has been heard
before"
If the Chronicle had gone little further
than the "Court House." and urged that no
more appeals to prejudice against the "capi-
tai" be made, 1t would have done even great
er service. We think 1t about as bad to style
one set of gentlemen estate House ring" as
1t is to characterize another set as q ''Court
House clique.'' We think that any idea
that Atlanta is the State Of Georgia, or that
the politicians OF Atlanta are not true
and loyal to Georgia's best interest is about
is about on par with appeals to prejudice
against "Court House cliQues."

The Anderson Intelligencer.

The Anderson Inlelli0encer totally mtsap-
Irchcnds the facts concerning the race for
Congressman from this Congressional Dis
trict There is no effort here TO beat down
anybody. Abbevillc has made no effort to Sc
cure the Congressman, and we presume she
will not do so. Abbevlle has had nothing to
do in bringing out q candidate. The candi-
dacy OF any man from this county or any 9TH
or county, VIC presume, Is u matter entirely
with each one and his particular friends who
may reside in Abbevillo or elsewhere. Tho
county, as a county, or the people Of any par
ticular community in the county, are not to
blame for the laudable ambition of any citi-
zen. When the time comes the voter OF Abb
bcvilic will express his personal preference in
exactly the aame way that the citizen Of any
other county will make known his Individual
preferences.
It Is no reproach to any citizen to become
Congressman. The fact that man may be a
Judge Is no reason why he should be debarred
from becoming a candidate for other honors,
nor is the fact Of his accepting more desira-
bic position q cause Of cenSure to him or his
people
We are sorry to see our neighbors disposed
TO inaugurate system Of geographical poll
tics within the Congressional District. The
District Is represented rs whole, and the
place Of mans residence should not be rea-
sun for depreciating his merits, or for deny
ing him the votes to which his merits and
popularity may entitle him, nor should the
place OF his birth be a cause for his prefer
ment. We would be glad 10 see this race for
Congressman conducted on higher principles
than appeals to prejudice against q man be-
cause Of his place OF residence. There can be
10 just reason for raising one man, nor for
casting another down, because OF the spot OF
ground on which he may reside. Every place
ia the Cop pgresslonal District is the equal OF
every other place, and the only question be-
tween the candidate and the voter, should be
his fitness or Nnfltness for the Office.

Col. IIammctt In a Bad Way.

Col. Hammett's friends will rejoice to know
that he has recovered from q serious illness
and complication of ailments, and that he
is now in perfect health. The following ex-
tract from letter under his own signature,
will be read with pleasure by his many
friends in this county who feel so much in
terest in him:
"Nearly two years ago contracted malaria
into my system and suffered greatly from
time to time from 1t in various forms in
which it developed. Sometimes had severe
chills and fevers indigestion followed 1t, and
I was generally out of health. Last spring
for more than two months 1 was greatly
troubled with n disordered condition OF
the bowels. which believe was the result OF
the malaria existing in my system. I visited
two or three mineral springs celebrated for
the cure Of malarial diseases, without the
slightest benefit. I was also treated as the
different symptoms developed by the most
skillful physicians, but was not relieved.
Now, feel quite. as well and In as
perfect health rs ever did in my life, and be-
lieve am perfectly WELL"

OF a Congressman will be effected by the in
diridual citizen voting for the individual
candidate, irrespective Of the county from
which he may come. This is as 1t should he.
y Congressman docs not represent n county
or counties, but he represents q District Of
so many thousand inhabitants. every one Of
whom has the right to express his preference
among the various candidates.
1t should be borne In mind, too, that in cv-
cry county there is a considerable minority
Of citizens who may not desire 10 vote for the
county candidate, but to vote for man from
some other county, who may in their judg-
mont be moro acceptable. Under the primary
system alone can these several county minor
tiles exercise any influence in the selection OF
Congressman, And 1t is quite pos sible that
these minorities aggregated might give q
candidate q larger vote than any other.

The Primary Plan.

We long ago suggested and urged the ne
cessity Of primary plan In elections and we
regard II still as very important In connec-
tiOn with the integrity and unity of the Dem

now because this is a Few era in. politics-a
drift towards the good old ante-bcllum ways
in which every man must run on his merits.
If lie has no merits he can afford TO keep
back, or be "Snowed UNDER by the people.
The people certainly can't afford to yield long
or to the control OF q few selflaudatory, self
Interested politicians, who lay plans for their
promotion in packed conventions.
In Colleton County the prevailing senti-
ment is overwhelmingly In favor of prima-
ries, and some who are coqeerned in the re-
suit Of the Issue are apparently lodging all
around to prevent its contamination. This
Is kicking against large majority, and 1t Is
undemocratic. Is 1t not better for lis to oonl-

Wor on AbbeYille,

Several papers In the Third Congressional
District have stated that strong solicitation Is
being presented to Judge J. s. Cothran, OF
Abbeville, to induce him to enter the race ip
the Third Congressional District for the pur-
pose OF retaining the representative In Abbe-
willie County. Judge Cothran Is charming,
able and popular man. and would make an
acceptable and distinguished representative.
He has high qualification for that kind OF
work. We admire his genius and his worth,
but VIC do not think he should consent to
make the race which is urged upon him. Alb.
beville County has had the representative
for ten years, and there Is, In our judgment,
no Justification for calling on Il Circuit Judge
10 ter the race to keep the other Counties
from having the Congressman. These Coun-
ties have able and upright men, who have
worked as hard for their country and have as
strong clnims upon the people as the dlstin-
gnShpd sons of the distinguished County Of
Abbevile have. We have no objection to ABB
bevillc having q full share Of The public hon.
Ora. She has many able and worthy sons,
but We do not like to see the spin It manifest ed
towards the other counties which is shown in
the effort to beat them down, even II she has
to call on Il Circuit Judge tO enter the race to
do It. Judge Cothran has an exalted position,
and should not consent to leave IL simply for
the purpose of thwarting the laudable ambi-
tion Of other gentlemen, for no higher Of
fcnse than that they do not live in Abbcville

No Public School for Hard Labor.

"The much speaking Judge is like sounding
brass and tinkifng cymbals, 4 wise Judge
seldom gives reasons for decisions"
We would respectfully commend these facts
to the attention of the State Board Of Educa-
ton when they write decisions OF an apollo
gctic nature.
We print in this weeks Press and Banner
the full text of the decree OF the State Board
of Education in reference to this school. In
compliance with the Superintendents In.
Struction, we sent forward such "affidavits
and statements as We thought necessary to
proper understanding of the claim" but 1t
will BIO seen by the decree that the State
Board OF Education declines to allow us the
privilege or giving them "a proper under
standing'of the matter. They seem solici-
tous only about sustaining the local school
officers at whatever risk.
Col. Coward says that "the right of appeal
is clearly granted in the law" but the State
Board in their decree practically deny "the
children Of renters every vestige of that
right and dismiss their appeal with official
contumely.
If the people needed anything to impress
upon them the importance Of securing good
and faithful officers, 1t is furnished in that de-
decree that they will not correct the mistakes
Of the School Trustees, while they give injur-
cd citizens severe rcbuke for appealing to
them. Officers must protect and sustain each
other no matter how great the citizens griev-
ance.
The letter Of Colonel Coward and the decree
of the State Board Of Education afford food
for thought.
We may expect the millennium when the
County School Commissioner, the State
Board of Education, and the State Su-
perintendent of Education, can satisfac.
torily reconcile their statements in refer
ence to the Hard Labor school. They
are, at present, as wide apart as the poles.
The School Commissioner says he has no orig
inal Jurisdiction. the State Board of Educa-
.tion say that he is the only man who has orig
inal Jurisdiction. The State Superintendent
recommends that the appellants prepare such
nffidavIts as may be necessary to a proper un-
derstanding Of the case, but the State Board
of Education decline TO consider the aforesaid
affldavits which would give them the 'proper
understanding OF the case
"Can such things be,
And overcome us like q summer c;oud,
Without our special wonder?"

IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD.
A Beautiful Tribute TO One Who Has
But Recently Crossed the River.

G. Marshall Jordan died at his winter home
in Florida on Friday night 18th May. He
had been consistent member OF the Metho-
dist church for perhaps forty years, and his
presence was everywhere felt as hallowed
influence The writer knew him as school
boy when life's pathway is best with 80 many
temptations, and more intimately as man
upon whom devolved the responsibilities or
citizen. bitten, husband and father, but his
devotion 10 duty always guided him in life
and finally supported him in death. During
his last illness his mind Iemained unclouded
and he waited calmly and resignedly for the
summons that called him up higher where
the sainted spirit OF little "Bubbcr' rccog-
nized papa with such song OF JOY that an,
gels took 1t up and waited 1t onward until
father mother, brothers and sisters oil Joined
in the happy refrain: welcome! welcome
His remains were brought back to his native
State and laid to rest with kindred dust, In
In the cemetery at Greenwood
Truly can II be said OF him "Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord; yea saith the
Spirit that they may rest from their labours ;
and their works do follow them.' NJ.

Unjust to AbbeviIIe.

The Nc,cbe,7y Herald and News brings out
quite q formidable array OF irrelevant facts
to show that Abbeville county should not be
allowed to have the Congressman from this
District. Let 1t not be forgotten that Ncwber-
ry Is not within this judicial District. The
fact, therefore, that we have furnished a
Judge or two and a solicitor Is no concern at
all of Newberry's. The Eighth Circuit fur.
nishes Judges and Solicitors for the people
within It's borders. We never expect to 60 to
Newberry or any other county outside of the
District for either of these officers. Newberry
has never had the slightest chance Of furnish
ing US with Judge or Solicitor. 1t has no
right to either, and it is wrong to make ap-
peals to the prejudice of the people by the
presentation Of irrelevant facts.
1t is true that Abbeville has furnished a
Congressman for ten years. but that is no
just reason for complaint unless there Is rea-
sonablc ground for the belief that his election
was secured by unfair means. Newberry.
Abbeville and other counties presented their
candidates. The Abbeville candidate re-
ceived a majority Of the votes. Is there
any sin in this?
1t Is also true that Abbevile has furnished
Supreme Judge. We don't know what that
has TO do with the election of O Congressman.
If any blame is to be attached to anybody
for electing Supreme Judge from Abbeville,
it must rest on the members OF the Lesisla-
turc, who happened to believe that our man
was best fitted for the office. The people are
quick to appreciate the merits of candidates,
and they are not slow to express their prefer
cnces. If Newberry wants to furnish the
Congressman, Supreme Judges, or Circuit
Judges, let her put men in training who will
be more acceptable than our men, and she
will get them. The appeal to prejudice to put
down merit because Of the geographical spot
OF their birth is hardly fair, and the effort
should be repudiated by Newberry's candi-
dates. The intelligent judgment OF the peo-
pie Is what Is wanted.
II the people OF this Congressional District
prefer any one of Newbcrry's candidates to
any one which may come from Abbeville,
then the people Of this county will be satis-
fed, but they object to being reproachcd for
the existence Of facts Of which any county
might we'll be proud-her distinguished citi-
Zens.

Editor Press and Banner:
DEAR SIR-If it is customary for you to in
sert short notices Of the meetings Of local
Democratic clubs, gratis, will thank you to
publish the following in your next Issue:
There will be meeting or the Walnut
Grove Democratic Club on Saturday, June
5th, 8 o'clock, p. NJ. for the purpose of re-
All those interested will take
due notice thereof anu govern themselves ac-
cordingiy.
Have nothing Of special interest to write
you. The freshet was destructive throughout
this section. How unfortunate the people
cannot be thoroughly aroused as to the great
importance OF rigldly complying with
the requirements OF the drainage law.
AS q sanitary measure alone, IT. would
far more than fully compensate every indi-
vidual for the amount of labor expended in
removing distractions from the streams, and
it Is surprisingly strange that so large a per
cent. of the owners Of real estate along our
streams are so indifferent to q claim of such
vital importance. 1t Is to be sincerely hoped
the proper authorities will take such steps in
the matter as will partially protect the whole
people from the ravages of malaritl prisoning.
With kind regards, yours very respectfully,
w. I. JONES.
