discussed here. The general Impression Is
that II Is question that goes back of prohl.
bition and touches the sacred right OF the bal
lot. Brown and Smith" from Mccormick
hit the nail on the head.
We had a pleasant call at the Office Of Judge
Lyon In Abbeville last week. The office of
the Judge is the neatest we ever saw in q
Court House. The Judge has just rcfllted it
and added Il large new safe, so that all the val.
uable land papers OF the county will be per-
fectly safe In case of fire. We were shown the
will of the philanthropist Della Howe twas
executed nearly hundred years ago, and Is a
valuable relic. The Judge is the rIsht kind of
an official. May his bow abide in strength.
The last Press and RdRner places Hon. &. A.
c. Waller right on the record; Others had bet
ter follow suit. The man that comes out for
whisky In Aobeville county will be buried at
the polls too deep TO resurrcct, and this Will
be the burning question at the next election.
Col. G. S. Simonton, OF Mercer, PENN, and
Mr.. McGarge Of the same place. are visiting
Due West on the invitation Of DR.. Grier This
friendship began on the battle held. The
Press and Banner had an interesting column
on the "Blue and Grey" not long ago that told
in touching words OF DR.. Grier and Col. ST.
monton's first meeting. Our people are CIV
Ing Col. Slmonton warm greeting ut their
table boards.
We dropped in on the editor Of the Press
and Banner last week and found him hard ut
work reading and correcting proofs and
writing editorials. Some OF the Inter are ap-
preciated from the way the paper has been

on well as he seemed to be worried about loan
ing his money and inquiring after Il good
party who wanted to borrow. SO we put
down the Press n,d Banner as one paper that
is making money.
oil mill running. and understand that IL is
pushing right ahead. AS we were going down
we passed forr horse wagon loaded with cot
ton belonging TO our friend Mr. NJ. T. Clink-
scales. AS we came back we passed the same
wagon loaded with guanO. which II had got
seed. If our farmers will sell cotton seed this
is the way to manage the business.
Work on the railroad about Abbcvillc has
begun, and the people are confident OF the
rond now, and feel the impulse already given
business. We hope their most salgulne eX
pectations may be realized. In the meantime
the right of way Is the only thing that Is keep
