The Primaries.

The delegates to the Congressional Conven
tion having appointed August %, and Au
gust g, as the dates on which TO hold the
primary election for Congressman 1t would
seem that the county primary election should
be held on the same dates.
This is desirable for the reason, that II
would be an immense saving to the voters
and it would also insure fuller vote for al
officers. When the elections are divided up
so much the people will not turn out.
Congressional candidates will find it exceed
ingly hard to get full vote. unless the coun
ty primary is held at the same time.
Each candidate who enters the race will
bring out some voters, and so the more can
didstes we have the larger will be the vote
In justice to the Congressional candidates,
we think the county primary should be on
the same day of the Congressional primary

Poll Lists.

Let none of the politicians nor election
managers forget that the primaries are now to
be conducted not only according to the rules
of the party, under the provisions OF the Act
of the Legislature. One provision In that law
requires the poll list to be filed with the Clerk
or the Court within four days after the elec-
tiop. II therefore, the managers Of any box
should neglect or refuse to file on the follow
ing Monday, the poll list as required, any can
didate who may be dissatisfied with the re.
suit may have such box or boxes thrown out,
and not included in the count. Be sure to
obey the plain provisions Of the law. The
Democratic party should require the mana
gers TO bring their poll lists with the returns
which are to be made on Saturday.

ON HIGH GROUND.
The AbbeviIle County Alliance
Raises the Boycott, and Declares
i'm Favor of Newspapers.

At the quarterly meeting Of the Abbcville
County Alliance that body assumed high
ground in resembling tho existing boycott
against certain newspapers, and In making
unmistakablc declarations encouraging the
brethren to subscribe for as many newspapers
of their own choice as their means would al
low. They recognize the value Of newspapers
as an educator, and believe that in knowledge
there is power.
This action last Friday will commend the
Alliance to the favorable opinion OF the peo-
ple of Abbeville county, and will do much 10
bring about harmony and good feeling among
all the people.
The Alliance may sometimes swing little
out of plumb, but she will finally do tho right
and by giving equal rights to all and special
privileges to none," will rise to the highest
positions among the best organizations of the
country.
Tney have done themselves and the county
honor by passing the resolutions unanimous
ly, while they propose TO stand or fall on the
merits of their order, fearing nobody, asking
no favors of anybody, and yielding periec'
freedom of thought, speech and action to ev'
erybody.
Standing on this high ground, Alliancemen
in every part OF the State may well follow the
independent, wise and sagacions course OF the
Abbeville Alliance in proclaiming for educa'
tion, newspapers. free speech, and untram'
meled action for its members, rs will be seen
in the following resolution, which we repuo
lish for tho reason that some are not aware oi
the recent action:
Whereas. the Alliance OF Abbeville county,
relying upon the rcctitude OF its intentions
and conscious OF the strength Of its cause can
afford to he generous and fair to those outside
Of the order, however ignorant they may bc
OF our benevolent motives and noble pur'
poses. ,, !,
And whereas, the diffusion Of knowledge Is
promotive of strength and happiness, while
furnishing the surest safeguard of people
rights; .,.
And whereas, it is important that every
family which is represented In this order
should enjoy the moral, religious, practical!
and intellectual advantages of schools and
newspapers, therefore belt "
RESOLVED That 1t is the sense OF this Alliance
that its members should support the schools
and subscribe for as many newspapers, oi
their own choice, as their means will allow

THE PRoHIBIToRY LAW.
About the Sale of Wills
key at AbbevilIe.

Editor Press and Banner:
beg your indulgence for few thoughts,
touching the prohibition question as 1t relates
to the people Of our county. With politics,
pure and simple, have nothing to do. But
as one feature Of politics with us touches q
moral question, with that | am deeply con-
cerned. The citizens OF Abbeville county Ger
tainly have moral right to demand that the
law enacted ut the sitting OF our last Legisla.
ture, giving the authorities at Abbeville Court
House the power to grant license for the sale
Of whiskey, should be repealed. There Is but
one way this can be done, and that is to send
men to the Senate and Legislature with cx-
press directions in this matter If we send
back any OF those who advocated the objec-
jectionable bill, then we cannot expect TO
have the law repealed. AS none OF our pres.
eut Legislators for the House, who supported
the bill, offer themselves for reelection, the
question resolves itself upon the selection OF a
his public utterances, wish to call attention
to the speech made by our present Senator, as
reported in the Register, Dec II, 1889:
The Senator had been the sponsor ' I, OF TN ane
sion. He said that he had supported the bill,
which was sought to be amended, when 1t be-
came law. The people of Abbeville were
opposed to the aG and ho bpaG
been effective. Parties who sold liquor when
licenses were granted in Abbeville went out
of business and have not engaged in the busi-
ness since The law worked well for time,
mean article of whSkey has sprung up. The
town council, composed OF men of the very
highest character, has eudeavored to suppress
the traffic, but 1t is becoming more offensive
every day. IT has become so intolerabe that
u large majority of the very best people Of the
town Of AbbcvIlle have requested, by petit
tion, the passage of the bill before the Senate.
SO far the prohibition measure has not dimin,
ished the expenses Of our Courts or reduced
the number Of crimes In the county. In fact,
@ greater number Of unusual and dtr0ciOuS
crimes have been committed since the law
went Into operation than were known to have
been in the same length Of time in The coun-
try. When the sale Of liquor was licensed the
authorities could control It, AS IL STANDS
now, they can neither prevent nor punish a
most demoraliZng business, and that Is why
this bill should be passed."
The above clearly reveals the attitude Of our
present Senator, and from these utteranceS
every citizen should decide as to how he will
cast his vote in the coming contest.
q, II. CARTER.

GOOD RAINS.
Good Crops 80 Good Cattle -. Good
Grass...(sOOd Pastures,

The parched crops have been revived by O
refreshing rain, which fell last week ii inter-
rals for days and nights until the ground
is thoroughly wet. The drouth had extended
in many sections for q period of eight weeks,
retard!ng the growth OF cotton, and, in some
Instances, running the corn crop. But with a
fair rainfall for the remainder Of the season
the farmers will make remunerative crops OF
cotton.
Many citizens have wisely extended the
acreage OF pasture lands, and to all such the
rains have been fully as welcome as 1t was to
those who had growing crops,
AS rule, the cattle never looked better.
while the colts are doing well. The crop of
colts has been somewhat neglected, beGauge oc
the force of circumstances.
Some thought is being given to the sowing
Of winter pastures and some OF our people
are already making ready to furnish winter
grazing for their stock.
The demand for wire fences continues good,
and rolls Of the wire is sent to the country cv-
cry week. So much in earnest are our people
about pastures that some who had not the
money 10 pay for wire have sold q COW to &C.
cure the required money with which to buy
the needed wire.

Col. Gary's Speech.

Col. Eugene B. Gary's speech last night was
we'll worthy Of the candidate who aspires to
the position of the presiding officer or our
senate. ~.
Itwas clear forcible, but emperate, dis
cussion Of the issues involved In the cam
pagn. ,,..u,,
His allusions to Charleston and the history
of the old city were most becoming, and al
though his speech has made for him most OF
friends in Charleston, .
Col. Gary, although well known In Abbe-
willie and the surrounding counties, on ac.
count OF his extensive legal practice. has NOT
been long enough before the people 10 be very
we'll known In Charleston or the coast coun.
ties, but IT. is safe to say that after last night
the candidate for lieutenant governor can
count on quite an addition to that growing
list of his friends and admirers which his
conduct in the campaign is bringing him.
