Poor Economy.

The great hurry in which many very I'm:
portant bills were rushed through without
due consideration in the last General Assem-
bly, furnishes the very best commentary upon
cheap economy. So important an Act as the
one to amend the "Act to create Depart
ment OF Agriculture" defining Its purposes
duties. etc. was driven through in one day:
Consequently 1t was passed IN slip-shGSd ,S,
shape and the question Of the validity of the
Board OF Agriculture had to be referred to
Attorney General Earle who after much
study on the question has decided that the
election Of the same was legal.-Sunter Watch'
man.
We do not agree with our brother in his ar
gument for long sessions. II the sessions were
long many other bills would get through and
further fill our law books. If we could have
our sessions reduced to two weeks, all the
necessary laws would be passed in that time
and the foolishness would be abandoned.
The shorter the session, the better for the peo'
Dle.

SUDDEN DEATH OF BEVERLY NASH.
Timely Warning to Citizens who Lend
Their Influence In Voting Away
Other Peoples Property.

w. B. Nash, one OF the most prominent
coored men of this city in time past, died
suddenly at about 80 o'clock last night mt
his home at the corner OF Laurel and Assem-.
bly, streets. He had been complaining some
what for several days, but came out yester-
day to attend the election and attend to some
matters of private business. He cast his vote
.tFor Guarantee" in Ware 4. and was about
the streets until 5 o'clock In the afternoon.
He then left for his home, and soon after his
summoned, and later DR.. Talley, but IT was
found impossible to do anything for the sick
man, who died at the hour stated, after suffer-
Ing some time. The cause of death was con-
geStion OF the brain.
The history OF the deceased was q romark-
able one. For some time prior to the war he
was employed at Hunts Hotel In this city,
being finally head waiter there AS the body
gion he served throughout the war. During
reconstruction days lie rose to the surface rs a
successful politician Of the Radical party, ard
served MS State Senator from Richland Coun-
ty from lS6S to 1876 His ago was 6s. The fun
cra will probably not be held until to-mor-
row.

Our Railroad.

We mean the one which is already built
and in operatlon-the c. & G. We went to
Columbia on 1t one day last week and return
ed the next day. The road seems to he in tine
condition, and the rate OF travel, between
Hodges and Columbia, was all that the most
exacting could wish. The conductor was po-
lite and accommodating. The coach was COM
Portable and its appointments were splendid.
All this, however, is in striking contrast with
the branch road between Hodges and Able
Vile. In behalf of the travelling public We
would appeal to the authorities not to make
such a marked contrast in the treatment
which We get on the branch and the treatment
which travellers receive on the main line.
The people are willing to travel in the car
which we have, but they beg more considera-
ton In the matter of delay at Hodges, and In
the rate of travel while on the way between
the two places. The distance is only q frac-
ton over eleven miles. Full forty-1ve min
utes is taken in which to run the trip. AS n
matter of fact, ten or fifteen minutes could be
saved in each trip. Thirty.fve minutes
would be abundance of time. If the running
time was cut down ten minutes, and the lie
over at Hodges was reduced twenty-five min
utes, the public would be much better served,
and, it seems to lookers-on, that the better ac-
commodation could be given without increas-
ed cost to the railroad.
II the authorities would give the matter
some consideration we are sure that they
would do something for our accommodation.
especially when that accommodation can be
given without additional cost
We are quite sure, If we ever get the Chester
railroad that an Improvement in speed and
curtailing Of lost time will be necessary.
Then let the c. & G. authorities give us prop
er consideration, so that the changed condi-
ton Of affairs will not be so noticeable when
that competition comes.
We hardly think the railroad authorities
would persist in the present disobliging
course, II they had time to investigate the
facts and give the subject proper considera-
tion. The receipts from the Abbeville station
are large, and 1t seems that q good business
should warrant q corresponding accoinmoda-
tion-especially when 1t can be given without
extra cost.

A New Feature for the Press and Ban

1t affords us pleasure to announce that the
Press and Banner will henceforth have q reg
ular contributor from the town of Honea
Path. We hope thereby to identify the Press
and Banner with the interests OF the good
people in that town, and in measure, sup
ply the loss which they have just sustained
in the suspension Of their own excellent local
journal. We hope to give notice in these
columns of all current matters happening in
that town, and to make the paper otherwise
accountable to our friends at Honea Path.

Mr.. Hills Letter.

Elsewhere will be found q letter from Mr.. 4.
E. Hill Of this village.
He asks that we give the facts that prompt
ed our interrogatory as to why "his name was
stricken from the list Of grand jurors"
The fact is simply this: We heard from
what we thought was reliable and undoubted
authority, that his name was drawn; that
his qualification was discussed; that major
ity Of the Board and witnesses said he would
do; that afterwards objection was made to
him, because his name drau1a out Of the ser-
en- mile boz.

It on account OF the efficiency of r. +. Hill as
a bookkeeper or his independence as citizen
that his name was stricken from the list OF

question be given to the public in your next

Solid Sense.
Rdr1llgplL PeOD(e.

The Nc,rs and Courier is correct in saying
that the Blair Bill Is proper subject for plair,
speaking But 1t Is TO bo hoped that this
most mischlcvous measure Will soon be buried
so deeply that there will bo no need for talk
ing about it again. Public opinion. generally
right in It's conclusions, is about settling
down to the conviction that the education ol
"thc Masses is about the most enormous
humbug Of the age. There is no evidence
that the profits of the business are III any
degree parallel with its cost. Ignorance and
crime are not concOmltantS."

The Law Can be Enforced.

Much has been said about the failure to en-
force the law in reference to carrying conceal
ed weapons. Our lawmakers wiped out the
duelling practice. They did 1t by such laws
as enforced it. II the carrying Of O concealed
weapon worked the forfeiture OF office, il
the act disqualified the citizen from
holding Office, and If new officers were
required to swear that they had not car.
rled a pistol, dirk, slung shot, or other deadly
weapon. since the passage Of the act, the
market would be stocked with old pistols.

The good financial condition of the farming
interests Of the country hereabout Is most en-

crsaslug demand, upon our stockmen for fine
horses and mules Is unprecedented. Messrs.
