The State Convention.

The notes Of the State Convention will be
interesting, not only for what it did but for
what 1t did not do.
It will be observed that the effort to secure
primary election for State officers failed. AL
though the defeat of the movement was by a
large majority, yet the cause is just, and the
movement will march steadily on. The ad-
vocates Of Democratic form Of government,
and the opponents OF boss rule have no rea-
son to be discouraged.
The platform will be satisfactory to the en-
tire people.
The endorsement of Cleveland's admins
tration voices the public sentiment.
The issue brought inby Mr.. Tillman gives
variety and interest to the occasion. Mr..
Tillman delivered his old warmed-over speech
about Democratic extravaganza Colonel
Haskell answered him most thoroughly and
most completely, showing wherein Mr.. Till
man WAS mistaken in his charge Of extrava-
gance.
Mr.. Tillman charged his followers with
with treason to the cause which. they had es-
poused.
The argument between Colonel Haskell and
Mr.. Tillman lead US to doubt the reliability Of
figures. We are very much Of the opinion
that figures can beadduced to prove anything.
Colonel Haskell proved conclusively that
there had been no increase of appropriations.
Everybody knows that the taxes have been
raised and the phosphates have increased
from about $4,000 to about 100000, and yet
Colonel Haskell can prove beyond the shad-
ow Of doubt that there has been no increase
at all

Don't be scared...Haste Makes Waste.


II It should be urged that there is any great
need of haste In the matter Of voting tax
to the Cumberland Gap road, we would urge
that there is safety in going slow. 1t will be
remembered that haste was urged at the first
election.
Time has proven that haste was unneces-
sary.
It is unnecessary now.
1t was then urged, we believe, that there
was danger Of the road being switched off on
the Savannah Valley.
It didn't switch.
It Ia now said that the Carolina, Knoxville
and Western road may take the Cumberland
Gap by Ninety.Six. But the manipulatcrs OF
that road do not claim that any work will be
done on this end of the line until after the
road is finished to Knoxville. We now place
the prediction on record that no rail of iron
will ever be laid on the road this side Of
Greenville.
The road from Greenville by way OF Ninety
Six to Augusta will never be built-or that Is
our opinion.
Stick pin there, and see If what we say
doesn't prove true.
Townships, like counties are entitled to tho
tax on the road.whioh they may build.
Why deprive Abbeville, Cedar Spring, and
Indian Hill Of their just rights?
Why take the taxes on their road to pay
county expenses?
Why not give the taxpayer some assurance
in the law that his money will not be taken
before the road is f1nished7
We can't answer these questions.
Perhaps the tax payer will see the simplici-
ty OF the thing-it the tax is voted.
Give MS fair law, and we have nothing to
say.
1t Is the law to which we object.

Death Of Benjamin F. Smith.

Mr. Benjamin F. Smith of this village died
last Monday morning, Of pneumonia. aged IS
years.
Mr.. Smith was well known to many Of our
citizens. and all who knew him entertained
the greatest respect for his high character,
his skill as a faithful mechanic, and his hon.
esty OF purpose. He was contractor, and a
first class workman in his line, and deserves
to be called ian honest man, the noblest
work OF God."
He built some OF the finest houses in the
County, and the best bridges in the county
were either built or planned by him. The
very last work which he did was to 60 to Mar
tins mills, and take measurements for a
fine bridge.
His whole life was one Of activity and USE
fulness. And his every act was prompted by
all those principles which characterize the
good citizen, the kind neighbor. and the
afIectionate husband and father.
He had long been a member Of Bethel
Methodist church, and was buried yesterday
at Sharon, the Rev. p B. Jackson, conduct
ing the funeral services.

Tired Of Having Bondholders to Live
off of Them.

At recent meeting in Pickens the question
OF paying Off the debt incurred for the Air
Line Railroad was discussed. Some Of those
present desired to pay off the debt. Others
preferred to let the debt stand. One of the
speakers said that "bondholders should not
be allowed to live off Of u.s." Another speak
or said that the "bondholders want the inter-
est, and nothing else" Or in other words, all
they wanted was to live Off Of the people
This is reported to have occurred In Pickens
county last week. If the hard-worked
people of Abbeville county will consent to Is
sue bonds to rich capitalists, we may have
the pleasure Of letting some Of them ''live of
OF U.S." too. There are always plenty of peo-
pie who are perfectly willing to get on the
backs other poor people, who may be willing
to work for them.

The Abbeville Press and Bdnnc. urges on
the promoters OF all charitable schemes,
church fairs, etc., the propriety Of not extort,

also saws that on one occasion failure on his

cause was want OF funds, cost him some abuse

hits the nail on the head. The practice ol

We Object to the Law Because 1t
Gives the Railroad Undue Advan-
tage OF the Tax Payer.
1t Is q source Of pain and regret that the
Press and Banner feels constrained to oppose
any movement, the purpose of which
may be to benefit Abbeville village, or to
build up any part Of the county, but the law
under which 1t is proposed to levy tax on
this people, for the Cumberland Gap road is
so constructed as to be little less than an Of
fence to our intelligence.
In the first place, there is not the least pre-
tence Of lawful protection to the confiding
Taxpayer who may put himself in the power
Of the railroad.
In the second place, there is no provision
for guaranteeing to the townships of Abbe-
VILE, Cedar Spring and Indian Hill return
OF the tax which the railroad may pay when
1t ia built.
In the next place, Section Of the Act Is so
constructed that 1t has neither beginning nor
ending. It is merely tumble and confus-
ion Of words, upon which the Supreme Court
may put construction of which the tax-pay-
er never dreamed.
Although the Press and Banner Is opposed
to the levy Of this tax, this newspaper would
yield Its judgment to others as to the advisa-
bility Of the move, IL election is held under
fair and equitable law. We have SO express
ed ourself, time and again, and still repeat
the assertion.
But for some reason unknown to us, all
protection in the law Is carefully denied, and
all Justice in the matter of g return to US Of
the taxes which the railroad may pay, is
withbald For fhese REASONS we cannot re-.
main silent.
We would not be true to this people, If we
did not warn them against law which we
believe is unjust in its terms and which total
ly fails to give due and proper protection to
the people. If they know the facts. and COM
NIT the error of binding themselves hand
and foot for "bondholders to live on" then
they cannot blame the Press and Banner.
