Political Flght.--PcrsOnal FisticuE.

A political meeting was held at Ninety Six
yesterday, at which two Of our Legislative
cand Idates engaged in u fstlcuf.
We learn that Capt. c. A. c. Waller said
something which was offensive 10 Capt. ]. n.
King, when the latter struck him. Exactly
what next happened we do not know. In the
melee, however, Capt. Kings son became in.
yolved, when Capt Waller gave him blow
with stick. pistol was then drawn. but
bystanders stopped the further progress of the
difficulty.
These are about the facts, az well as we can
understand them, though we got our informa-
tion second hand.
We have seen no one who saw the fight, an d
we have not seen any one who has attempted
To upportion the blame
Speaking for the Press and Banner We regret
the introduction of such n method of settling
parliamentary questions. We feel sure that
neither of the gentlemen would Intentionally
do the other any wrong.
The difficulty, us we understand. occurred
because Of q lack of understanding as 10 cir
respective records In the Legislature upon
questions which seem now to excite very lit.
tie interest among our people. Nothing OF
this kind has ever occurred before in the his
tory OF political campaigns in Abbeville
county.

The Effect Of Wars.

The recent history OF the Press and Banne
may not be uninterestipg. As well as we
can now rccoIlect the facts, they are as fol-
lows:
AT one time in 1885 the Press and Banner
printed only 81 quires of paper. That year n
vigorous war was waged against it. and ri
vol paper was started. Twoyear later, when
the rivol paper ceased to be published we
were then and had been for some time printing
81 or3 quifes.
After that, our circulation increased until
we were, tn the Fall oflSs9, printing So quires'
when the boycott set in. When all is peace
we now print 50 quires.
This is high water mark, being the largest
circulate we ever had.
We feel that there is now not much more
room for increase. and we will be only too
proui if we can maintain 1t at the present
large circulation.
Although we We committed many errors,
and although these errors have caused much
opposition at various times, yet the public
OF Abbeville county Is generous, and has not
only forgiven US for our shortcomings but has
never failed TO come to our rescue when our
existence or our business interests have been
threatened. No matter how fierce the storm
may have ragged, the people felt that we were
sincere, and believing thus, they have ever
stood by him who has always labored and
struggled TO do the right, as he saw 1t.
With gratful and heartfelt thanks, this ed
itor makes profound acknowledgment Of in
dcbtedness TO the best people the world ever
saw.

paoca and Good WIFI.

A friend in writing private letter makes
expression rs follows, which we take the lib
erty of publishing, while Withholding the au-
thor's name:
There has been wonderful change in ALI
ance sentiment here since the passage OF Maj.
Vance's resolutions Monday. The feeling mas
very much relaxed and there * quite dispo-
sition TO select candidates on their merit now.
That bitter partisan feeling has subsidized here.
We believe that the btternessand Ill feeling
WHICH the campaign had ensendered, has al
most entirely subsidized. We have evidences
OF it everywhere. While the eanti-Tillmnnites
stand just where they stood before. they have
met their defeat gracefully, with determina-
tion to stick to the Democratic party forever.
We will be the victors next time, and all we
will ask OF the Tillmanites is, to accept their
defeat two years hence in as good faith as we
now accept our defeat.

The suprsske Court.

The Sem and Boyand case at spartanburg
resulted last week in an acquittal OF the
charge of murSA These persons on the frs,
trial were eSa lsted, but as usual in cases OF
convictioD1s.rappeal was taken, and rs usual
in MURDER cases, the Supreme Court ordered n
new trial, with the result as above stated.
I'VE think 1t blessed thing that our Su-
preme Court should take it for granted that
something Is wrong in n case Of conviction for
murder, and order new trial every time.
Even Colonel Jones, of Edgefeld, had the
good fortune to have the-Court interfere in his
behalf. Without the interference of the Su-
preme Court the Colone! might have suffered
because of the foolishness Of petit jury.
The proper business Of petit juries is TO clear
citizens of the charge Of bloody crimes, ana
the Supreme Court does right In making
them do their work over when they convict a
murderer.

Kind Words for the Alliance.

Various newspapers have commended In
the highest terms, the recent action of the
Farmers Alliance in removing the boycott
from the Press and Banner. notably the Eas.
ley Messenger, and the Pickens Sentinel, from
which latter we copy the following para
graph:
"At the recent quarterly meeting of the Alb
beviile County Alliance, resolution was
offered and unanimously adopted removing
all restrictions from the members of the or

Alliances OF the State would profit by follow.

cause of the other. In season and out OF sea
son the county newspapers have labored for
the betternent of the condition OF our fur
mers. Take the file OF any OF our county pa
pers and go over them, and anyone will be
convinced that they have been on the side OF
thefarmer. twas the country press that first
gave the Farmers Alliance headway, thai
fiIed the sails OF the new and untrled bark
as 1t was launched on its course for reform.
1t has been their untiring helper and faithful
counselor. 1t has been their faithful watch
man. ever on the lookout and ready to warn
the order when breakers appeared In its
course. Then why turn and throttle this
to have care wilhelm apparently smooth wa
ter. There Is neither justice nor reason In 1t.
Abbevilie county has acted wisely In declar'
ing The boycott off and allowing the privilege
OF free speech and freedom OF action and
opinion"
1t affords the FTess and B amer pleasure to
state that the members Of the Alliance were
perfectly sincere In their action in resembling
the boycott, and almost to man, those who
felt lmpeled to quit at the edict Of the order,
have returned, and are now receiving the
paper as before the boycott. Abbeville people
fight hard when they do fight, but when 1t is
all oyer, they shake hands. rub the dust Off
each others back, and resume former pleasant
relations.
