Malicious Stories.

AS is usual, just before an election, damag-
ing stories get circulated against candidates
when 1t is too late to correct them, and thus
sometimes mean advantage is taken of him
who is seeking public honors.
The County Com mmissioners published theii
report in full last February, In which an Item
lied statements made Of everything At the
time no objection was made to that report
The grand jury sprntinized 1t closely and
commended the officers for their fidelity. AL
objection was withheld until few days ago
when it was charged that the County Com
missioners paid out money for one year which
should have been used for another The
foundation for this report lies In the fact thai
a temporary bridge was put up in 1888, which
lasted until February OF the next year. The
Commissioners OF course, built q new bridge
when the temporary bridge was washed
away. Very properly the new bridge was
paid for out OF a special levy to rebuild the
bridges which were washed away in lsSS.
1t isn't clear to US how they could have paid
it out Of any other fund than that which was
levied for the purpose, but that single trans
action has furnished sufficient reason for the
circulation Of evil reports. although it must
be selfevident fnct, t,-even If the law had moi
prescribed out of which fund the bridge
should be paid for,-that it Inattered not cent
to the tax payer from which fund IT was paid
The main and only question should be, Is the
bridge worth the money?
AS q matter Of fact bridge cannot be lei
without advertising, and 1t cannot te paid fol
without the concurrence of the whole board
each member OF which Is equally interested
or blaneable with others.
Another instance Of "Stretching the blank
et," occurs in this way. 1t was currently re-
ported and believed that one of the candI
dates for county office. prepared SET of reso
lutlons which were passed at Abbevile or
Sale Day In July. The matter was tulket
about and enlarged until finally the supposed
act OF writing the resolptionS took in all the
editorials of the Press and Banner last Wintel
in reference 10 the boycott.
All this for no other conceivable object tha,
to injure candidate.
Now, the Press and Banner Is trying to bt
non partisan In this campaign, however much
we may miss the mark, but we do say this
that the uttcranccs of those who "tulli
against" or circulate slanderous report o
any cendldate, is to be taken with some
grains OF salt, y seems to us to be very un
fair to assail candidate Ghe:; i is too late
for him to reply.

The LowndesyiIIe Meeting.

The meeting at Lowndesville yesterday Is
reported as one of the best meetings Of the
campaign.
Messrs. Johnstone and Benet spoke first,
and Immediately left for Newberry.
Mr.. Watson asked permission TO reply to
Mr., Benet's reference to the Alliance and Mr..
Norris.
In Mr.. Benet's absence. Mr.. Murray defend.
ed himself and his competitor, 10 the great
delight of his hearers.
The little circular and Mr. Watson's speech
together did not advance the interests of Mr..
Norris.
The little secret circular business seems TO
meet with no favor in Abbeville.

The "NOrris Slander."

It Is now said by citizens OF Anderson, and
elsewhere, that there is no truth in the "Nor-
rs slander," which was reported to have had
Its foundation and origin in Orangeburg, and
which, it is alleged, resulted in his being
forced to leave that county. 1t is matter of
coneratulation when such ISLANDERS" are
thoroughly and completely refuted.
From the manner of addressing the public.
we presume 1t is generally understood to what
ISLANDERS" reference has been had. AS far as
we have noticed, no newspaper has referred
specifically to the ISLANDER" in question, and
the reader has about as good an opportunity
to know what is meant, as we do.

|l9ll Of the choicest goods, the farmers Will be
proud in their crop prospects, and with
cheerful outlook for all humanity, is there
any reason why we should not arrange to
have a big excursion from Clinton to Abbe-
Vile.
The new railroad would no doubt make lib
eral and accommodating terms for ALL
Special cars might be provided for the accom-
mediation of the ladies, SO that the roughs
could be entirely separated.
BY big excursion we would have an op,
portunity OF welcoming within our gates a
great multitude OF people who have hereto
fore had no connection with us, but who
might in the future be good customers TO our
stores.
We ought to have an orator TO deliver q
speech of welcome, and good barbecued
dinner might be furnished to ALL
UP to this time we have done little else TO-
ward building up the town besides increasing
the price Of town lots, and as 1t seems that
but little else is to be done In that line, let us
have day of jubilee when the cars come, and
let us ask all the earth between Abbeville and
Clinton to come and be happy with US.
The probability Is that the cars will be run
ming to this point by the middle of Octo
bcr.

Don't Vote for the Tail OF the Ticke eft.

The fear has been expressed that the antis
would vote for the tail" Of the Legislative
ticket. There can be real foundation for the
fear, as every citizen will vote consc!entiously
for the good Of the county. But when we
scan the ticket and see the names of the indi-
vidual candidates, there is no special reason
to fear for the election Of any one Of them.
They are all gool men. So the Tlllmanites
need have no fear on that scare. Besides all
this, 1t Is proposed hereafter to Judge of Till
man by his official career. If 1t Is good, no
praise will be withheld. If 1t Is bad, we will
say so. Feeling this way, the people should
throw no obstacle in his way,

Questions and Questions.

Ia addition to the original questions pre-
pared at District headquarters, the following
questions were psopounded to the Congress
sional Candidates last Monday:
ist. DO you or do you not. believe that the
August opvenlion, OF The Den ocratic Party,
OF South Carolina had the authority 10
amend or adopt constitution for the party
and TO re-organize the State Executive Com
mitteee.
I'd. Do you approve or dsapproye OF the
action OF the minority. OF the August Con:
vention, in their withdrawal from the said
Democratic Convention,
The questions, we believe, were ansSercd
by each In way more or less satisfactory.

Dwithdrew from the Convention, after 1t was
apparent that the anti-Tillman faction could
neither prevent the organization of the Con-
vention by parliamentary tactics nor control
1t after 1t was organized.
The boilers make an elaborate argument to
show the illegality of the election of new
Executive Committee and the adoption of
new Constitution.
The authorities may be very well, and all
that, but they do not appeal to ones common
sense. The State Convention is supreme, ana
may do whatever it pleases. Delegates to
State Convention represent the whole people,
and we think If all the people had assembled,
that no one would have questioned their right
10 do whatever they pleased. The reason all
the people did not go is, that it was not prac-
tical for all Of US to 60. Therefore, we sent
our agents, who acted for US.
But, legal or illegal, the great majority who
/did what was done, will likely endorse and
sustain the action Of the Convention.
We believe the new Constitution is better
than the old one. While 1t does not go far
enough in the matter of primary elections,
yet it is an improvement on the old Con.
sLitutlon.
A fraction OF the Convention withdrew
from the meeting, and assembled in a hall
near by.
On the 10th of September another Conven-
tion or two will meet.
If the delegates to the September Conven-
tion who have been elected under the
forms Of law, should meet, then it seems to us
that they might with propriety acknowledge
Mr.. Irby's right to call them to order. The
question OF two Conventions-the Hoyt Con-
vention, and the Irby Convention-will place
Secretary of State Marshall in an embarrass.
ing position. We believe he Is the custodian
OF the State House keys. II two Conventions
meet, and each claim to be the Democratic
party, what will he do! If he gives 10 either
the keys, he will be practically deciding the
question as to which Is the Democratic party
the Hoyt or the Irby faction.
There can be mccarthy doubt that the Au-
gust Convention transferred the machinery of
the Democratic party 10 the Tillman faction,
and removed from office the Executive Com
mittee which was composed Of anti-Tillman-
ties.
The Democratic Executive Committee has
discharged its duty faithfully and well, hut
its duties are now ended, and we hardly
think that Mr.. Hoyt will call the Democratic
Convention to order in September. and we
hardly think the scceders will hold separate
Convention.
Now, those Of us who are in the minority
should submit to the lawful authority Of the
party. Next year, when it is found out that
Mr.. Tillman cannot do all that is expected OF
him, his most ardent supporters will join
hands with us in putting in new and better
man. We expect to convert in two years
enough Tillman men to change the whole
business. Therefore, we say, hold on. Let us
keep together. The other side has suffered
defeat more than once. Now, let us take our
defeat like men, and remain true to the Dem.
ocratic party under all circumstances.

DHewspaper writer and every speaker
@He subject, seems to think that "futures''
0depress the cotton and raise the price OF
breadstuffs. "Old Hutch is generally quoted
to prove the effect of futures" on breadstufts,
while nobody ever says word about the ef'
fort to buy the whole cotton crop and force up
the prlce-which effort was only thwarted by
the mills in stopping-and none OF the wise.
acres have ever thought that spectators as
often want the price to 60 up as to come
down.
We have actually heard it urged that the
contract to buy four times the amount OF cot
ton crop would reduce the price Of cotton. II
has passed into a maxim that prices are gov
erned by demand and supply. How then is
an increased demand to reduce the price?
The only proposition that has as much non.
sense TO the square inch as that Of the "fu.
tures," Is the parrot-like talk against corpora
tions. Without corporations no great enter
prise could be carried out. No factories and
no railroads could be built by individual en-.
terprise.
We all recollect how we used to be jolted
and shaken in rickety old car for two days
when we went to Charleston. We
now leave Abbeville at eleven o'clock and get
TO Charleston the same day. Then 1t took as
long to go to Charleston as 1t will take to go
to New York when the g., &. & n. is finished,
and yet some people seem to think corpora
tions and monopolies are running the coun-
try.
There is, too, n great deal OF idiotic talk
about monopolies. Practically there is no
such thing as monopoly. There Is not
mile of railroad in all this country, to paral'
lei which sufficient money could not be raised
in twenty-four hours. Didn't the g., c. & n.
road get enough money in two hours to paral-
lei the Air Line road from Monroe to Allan
Ia? Without monopolies and corporations
that road would not now be finished to Able
ville although the road is graded all the way
and iron is laid within eight miles.

desire to criticise or antagonize
any one. When we speak Of the
question, the sale of the outlet
naturally arises. see no valid
reason to be afraid Of the govern
ment (simply take any portion of
our lands by force) as our title has
been established and confirmed
by several decisions of the SUI
preme court Of the United States,
viz: in the North Carolina case,
the Joy, the Santa Fe railroad and
two or three others. After care
full consideration we are compelled
10 admit that the United States has
the right of eminent domain.
Then, the moment we dispose OF
the outlet, we dispense with the
Cherokee nation, for where are We
to replenish an empty treasury
from? In all justice, the United
States cannot keep us from leasing
the strip any more than she car
from renting our farms. The gov,
ernment is simply trying to iorcC
us into a sale and if we will stand
firm and refuse to sell the storm
will soon pass aud we will be in q
better condition than ever.

little more love Of country and les:

ed their desire to perpetuate theil
nationality by refusing to take tn,

it as a perpetual fund to maintain
the Cherokee government from
that time on, free of any direc

Bill for Per Capita Instead
of Per Diem.

TAHIEQUAn. /. r. Nov. Z. 100.
Tuesday, the 4th, the chief de-
livered his annual message from
the stand in the public square to
the senate, council and a large
audience, a prominent feature of
which was the students Of the two
senlinaries. The chiefs position
on the strip and grass money, to
sell the former and pay out the
latter, per capita, was a surprise
to many; the other features Of his
message were similar to former
ones.
Wednesday morning The senate
assumed a business appearance as
petitions for citizenship and claims
came pouring from various SEN
nt8fz- These matters have been
