FOLLY IN THE FARMERS BANK.
The Stockholders Have Thrown Ev'
cry Obstacle In the Way Of Sue


cess.
For impracticable and unwise management,
we know OF nothing with which 10 compare
kline College, except the action of the stock
holders of the Farmers Bank at Abbevilie.
In expecting president, who Is denied the
counsel OF directors, to bring success to new
bank.
1t would seem that that Institution was or.
ganized with the express purpose Of throwing
as many obstacles In the way Of its success
They elected Mr.. Parker president, and then
chose for him corps Of directors who live
many miles distant in the country.
He is left here alone, without aid or assist.
ancr, and under these adverse circumstances
II IL barely possible that some or the stock
holders may expect him TO manage II success
fully.
such crippling circumstances, he will have
done little less than miracle.
All the directors of the National Bank
with two exceptions, are business men on the
public square, and. besides their own trade
they are men of influence.
or president, surrounded by monied men
OF business and Influence, nothing but success
may be expected.
But for the president of new bank to have
no friends or directors in business circles, to
succeed to the best results would be some
thing that history has not recorded.
The stockholders of the Farmers Bank
seem to have no proper conception OF what is
necessary to bring success, and they certain
ly have done little to advance Its interests,
but much to cripple Its prosperity.
We would like, in all candor, to ask what
possible benefit Il director, living in q remote
corner Of the county, can be TO bank at Alb
beville? =,
We will give years subscription 10 the
Press and Banner to the first man who Will
claim TO Offer sensible reason for believing
that the president or the'Farmers' Bank can
get along better without the aid of friends
and directors.
Then, we would like to know the object OF
cutting the Farmers Bank loose from the
business men Of Abbevilie.
We can account for the strange and unnat
ura act on the part Of the stock holders only
because of their total and absolute Ignorance
OF the various ways In which bank makes
money.
Without pubic confidence and public favor
the deposits will be small.
Without liberal deposits, no bank can bt
successful.
Without public confidence and public fa
vor the transactions In exchange Will bt
small. 4
without being friendly with the business
world the collections will be small.
No bank can exist and pay office rent ant
salaries Of officers whose business IS reduced
10 the mere lending OF money In smal
aInDunts.

Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Both the editors Of this puper were present.
One as Il member, aud the other Qhe writcrl
as an IN vited guest. We reached the ground
in time Tor the decisive session at night. II
was an earnest meeting. Those who favored
removal and those who opposed were eti.
denily icmdy To Stand by their CONVICTIONS.
These convictions were as honest on the one
side a. On the other. Those who spoke and
voted for removal were adrOcutlnga measure
which they heartily believed was TOR the BEST
interest OF the College and the good OF the
Church. They made strong presentation
of their side Of the case. But they felt, AS
Bro Chalner expressed IL, that they were
speaking to au unsympathising audience.
They saw, or thought they saw, tnat the ma.
joiiiy was against them, and that their minds
were made up. The discussion In the l'res-
byterian covered the main ponts on both
sides OF the question.
| II was not only an earnest meeting, but n
pleasant one. The minority, we are persuu'
ded, would say us much. There was not q
harsh or unchariIable, or unbrotherly word
spoken. When 1t IS remembered how deep
was the feeling on the subject, this Is mat
ter for congratulations. Unhuppily, ecclesius.
Teal debates urc not always models OF chris
| tian courtesy.
Tile discussion in the Board was about as
long as PauI's sermon ut Troas. The breth.

If it is properly managed, that this Hall will

Voting on the Election Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Springer moved
to lay the election bill on the table and
thus defeat it. His motion was beaten
by l49 yeas to 155 nays. The only repre-
sentatives to vote in favor of motion were
Coleman, of Louisiana, and Lehlbach,
of New Jersey, Ewart, of North Carolina.
Another bolter was paired with Simonds,
of Connecticut. Motion to reconsider
was tabled. Two hours were consumed
in reading of the bill. The question then
required on the passage of the bill. As
the call was in progress, great interest
was manifested on both sides of the
house. AS Coleman, of Louisiana, cast
his vote with the Democrats, he was
greeted with applause from that side of
the house, and applause was reinforced
with cheers when Lehlbach, of New
Jersey, also cast his vote against the
measure. The Republicans retaliated
in kind, and as the southern Repub-
licans, Houck, Taylor, >ef Tennessee,
Waddell, Mudd, of Maryland, and Will
son, of Kentucky, recorded their votes
in the affirmative, cheer after cheer was
given. The bill was passed; yeas, 155;
nays, 149.

The Struggle Ended.

BATON ROUGE, July 2-The senate
amendments to the lottery bill were con-
Cured in by the house to-day by vote
of 69 to 25. AS a matter of courtesy and
in order that there may be no flaws, it is
likely now the bill will go to the gov
ernor for his approval or disapproval.
Counting to-day there are eight working
days remaining. The governor is auth
orized to hold the bill not more than five
days. He will probably take advantage
of his right to keep it the full length of
time allowed by law, but there will be
three days of session left nevertheless,
and there will be no difficulty in passing
the bill over his vets in one day. The
fight is therefore over now.

The Site Accented.

CHICAGO, July. 2.-The worlds fair
national commission this afternoon for
mally accepted the joint site, consisting
of the lake front and Jackson park as the
location for the Columbian exposition by
vote of 78 to II. This conclusion was
not reached without much discussion.
In fact when the question came up the
opponents of this location, as offered by
the local board of directors, seemed to
number about as many as the advocates
of it. Various resolutions and amend.
ments, expressive of the views of individ-
ual commissioners, we're offered; but
after the commissioners had listened to
detailed explanations by the directors,
vote was taken on the proposition to
accept the site as rendered with the re-
suit given.
