Abbeville Doesn't Blow, But She is
Ahead, Just the Same.

Abbeville seems to have had many influ-
ences to combine against her, to take her le-
gitimate trade away, but the town Will event.
ually prove to the satisfaction Of the citizens
of Abbeville county that this is the place for
them to trade. There are no better merchants
in America than are to be found at Abbeville.
They have money, banking facilities and
credit for all the money they want. Our rents
and other expenses of living and doing busi-
ness are cheap, thus enabling our merchants
TO do business on as liberal terms as can any
merchants In the State.
We have just now an instance where erro-
neous ideas OF Abbeville have worked hard
ship to an individual citizen. Mr.. James NJ.
Wakefield, good citizen of the Antreville
section. is o ginner for the public, and labor
ing under the impression that he could make
better purchases In an adjoining county, went
away from home to buy his bagging and ties,
paying three cents yard more for bagging
and thirty-five cents more for ties than the
same articles could have been had for at Alb
beville. His purchases up to last Saturday in
q distant market had lost him, by actual
count, S62. rs more than the same goods could
have been bought for at Abbeville. Last Sat
urday he went TO the enterprising firm of w,
Joel Smith & Son, and bought $50 worth OF
bagging and ties, being so greatly pleased
with our market as to express the belief that
there is not better market in South Carolina
than the town of Abbeville.
We see in the Greenwood Tribune that Mr.
w. Oscar Cromer carried bale OF cotton from
Abbeville to Greenwood and sold 1t for 9 7-1t
cents About the time he sold that cotton We
believe a few nice samples of cotton at Able
willie commanded as high as 9A cents.

Charleston's Oppression OF Her Cit
gems.

Charleston has some nineteen or twenty OF
her merchants in jail for non-payment OF the
license fees which are exacted for the priVi'
lese Of doing business in the city. While II
would seem that these merchants should opey
the law, yet we are ignorant enough not to
understand why these fees could not be made
out OF the property Of the defaulters. II
seems an outrageous wrong to put man IN
jail for no other cause than failure to pay q
debt. II all delinquent debtors were prompt
ly put In Jail, that institution at Abbevllle
would have to be enlarged. We put only poor
men In Jail when they are unable to pay q
poll tax for the school fund. When colossal
old tax dodger dies up this way, we are asked
to name College for him. Just think OF 1t.
The State is asked to heap honors on man
who annually lodged paying about one thou
sand dollars Of taxes, while poor creatures
are thrust in jail because they are too poor 70
raise one dollar for school purposes. The vep'
erable and revered old tax dodger OF Oconee
made no return at all Of about 100000 worth
OF property. and no effort, as far as we can
learn, is being made to recover what is justly
due from him to the State. In the case ol
poor men different action is taken. II ouI
State officers will only do their duty, 1t is
barely possible that the rich, as we'll as the
poor, may be made to pay taxes.

White Brothers Locals.

The attention Of ladies Is called to the large
stock Of cloaks, Jackets and jerseys at White
Brothers.
If a lady wants black cashmere dress at o
low or high price, undoubtedly the place to
buy 1t is the store of White Brothers.
White Brothers are carrying this season the
largest assortment of carpets and rugs they
have ever offered. Carpets are cheaper than
ever known to be-. and at present low
prices almost anyone can afford to have q
Brussels or three ply Ingram carpet.
Ladies in search Of dress goods, would do
we'll to examine those all wool double-fold
dress goods at White Brothers. They are very
desirable and very cheap. They range In price
from 25cts to 75ts per yard.
Torchen laces and Hamburg trimmings in
great variety Of patterns at White Brothers
These goods are very beautiful and very
cheap.
The prints, satteens and ginghams at White
Brothers cannot be excelled. Look at those
wide and heavy prints at cents which are
usually sold for ten cents per yard.
White Brothers are better equipped this
season for supplying the men of Abbeville
County with choice ready made clothing than
they have been before. Their stock Of fine
clothing Is unrivalled, and any one wishing
TO buy fine suit or an elegant overcoat Is
sure TO be pleased. Try it.

Wednesday, Nov. II, 1888.
The Election OF Harrison.

A majority Of our readers doubtless know,
before now that the Republican candidate for
President for been elected by q large majori
ty. The North and the South seem to be as
solidly arrayed against each other to-day az
they were in the time OF the war.
We think IL likely that no event in the last
twenty years, has given rise to such diversi'
ty OF opinion, as to how the South will be af
fected by the restoration of Republican
President to office, with Republican majori'
~ in the Senate and House of Representatives
One mans opinion is worth about as much as
any other mans opinion, and especially at a
point as remote as this, Is 1t impossible fol
the citizen to tell or forecaste the official poll
cy Of the incoming administration.
Be shat as 1t may, however, the politics Of
the President will make but little difference
to the great mass Of the people. and his off,
cisl acts can be OF but little consequence to
nine.tenths OF the citizens Of the country.
The removal OF the Democratic of1ce-hold-
ers while hardship to individuals, can work
NO serious Ill to the great majority OF the peo-
pie.
Our soil will be as productive, and our shops
will be az profitable, as under Democratic
rule.
It Ia altogether probable that the Republi.
can party at the North will find 1t to their In
terest to interfere with the material prosperi
ty OF the South as little as possible. At any
rate, they will not seek, as in the past, to
overrun and to destroy us. There Is to-day
too much Northern capital in the Southern
States for the Republicans to wish to restore
a condition Of chaos and disorder. IL not be-
ing any longer to the advantage Of the Re-
publicans to persecute and to harry theli
Southern brethren, we cannot believe thai
they will any more seek to terrorize us and to
demoralixe society, or to uproot good govern
ment In the Southern States. Selfinteres'
, would dictate another course.
The question has been asked thousand
times, as TO the cause Of Cleveland's defeat
Whatever that cause may be, the people here
about attribute 1t chiefly to his tariff message
That the great mass Of the people have ev'
erything to gain by reduction Of the tariff
is not to be denied. yet all the capital that has
been employed in manufactures, is directly
interested in keeping up the tariff. The tarin
no doubt, has done more to foster and TO build
up manufacturing enterprises In the south
than any and every other combination Of cir
cumstances, added together. While, IN
diyidually, we favor the lowest tariff posi-
ble yet we believe the welfare Of the South as
. manufacturing people. is based on differ
ent policy or principle. With the tariff re-
duoed TO minimum, the fabtories already In
existence in the South would languish and
die, and no new factories would be organized
among ua.
Without knowing what is In store for us, we
shall hope for the same peace, good order and
prosperity which has heretofore characterized
this people as individuals and as States.

MOUNT CARMEL, s. c., Nov. 5, 1883.
After long and protracted illness OF nearly
six months Mrs. Boykin calmly and peace
fully passed from earth to brighter realms

Railroad Tax Payers Dissatisfied.

We find the following paragraph III tne
oharlestor World. 1t refers to lot Of people
In Edgefield county, who lost their heads
few years ago. In voting away their money,
to alleged railroad corporations, OF which
they knew nothing. Ninety-Six and Cokes-
bury townships In this county are paying tax
es TO one Of these roads, and there Is not. as
far as we can see, the remotest chance to get
the road on which they are paying such heavy
taxes. The probability is. that the people will
find out that the Press and Banner Is not far
wrong on the subject Of taxation for railroads
on paper:
ELMwooD, Edgefeld County, Nov. 8..Most
of the people In this section who voted sub
soription 10 the railroads are very much dis
satisfied about paying the railroad tax They
are more anxious now to get out OF paying
the tax than they were to vote subscription.
The two roads are nearly graded, and WORK
on them has stopped, and there Is no prooa,
bility of the roads being completed in several
years, though the tax Is still the same.

w. c. Benet for Speaker Of the House

To the Editor Of the Greenpille Ne,rs:
The House of Representatives Of the com
ing Legislature will be called on as one OF Its
first acts to choose Speaker. The name o.
the Hon. w. C. Benet, OF Abbeville, Is suggest
ed for that position. Recently nominated by
q handsome majority at the head of his own
county delegation, Mr.. Benet is In every way
suited to fill with honor and distinction the
Speakers chair. A tried and faithful Demo
crat, an able and successful lawyer, gifted
with great powers of oratory and a comman d.
ing presence, and withal a genial and courtly
man, with sound judgment and hard com,
mon sense, no man would do the chosen Rep
resentatives Of the people more honor as theil
presiding officer. His skill as parliamenta
rian and his high reputation for fairness and
justice add to his undeniable qualifications
and insure that with him as Speaker the pro
ceedings of the House would be conducted
with due dignity in the Speakers chair, with
out regard to section. SOUTH CAROLINA.

In September the railroad commissioners re-.
fused TO allow the Carolina, Cumberland Gap

put into good condition, and upon re-exam-
ination Of it. the commission have granted

large force at work upon 1t now, and hope to
put it in condition to Justify passenger traffic
