''Let it be Instilled into the Hearts OF
Your Children that the Liberty OF the fress
is the Palladium of all Your Rights.
The Greenwood Meeting.

The editor Of the Press and Banner ATTENDED
the political meeting at Greenwood las'
Thursday. For order and gentlemanly de-
portment. the crowd excelled anything tha'
we have seen for many day. No speaker
was interrupted. All were listened to with
attention and respect. There was none OF the
tdiotic noises that SO often mar the pleasure
of political meetings, and every man conduct
ed himself in a gentlemanly manner, without
annoying or giving offence to any one.
Upon remarking upon the extreme good or
der that characterized the day, we were In
formed that the committee who had the meet
ing in charge resolved. before hand, that or
der should be kept, and that they employed
sufficient number Of policemen to enforce Ihe
requirement. The facts being understood nc
one interrupted the speakers, and no poiice
man interrupted any one.
The speaking was sort OF go-as you please
affair, and was kept up continuously from
halfpast ten o'clock until four o'clock with
out intermission for dinner.
Chairman Maxwell introduced the speak
ers, and nearly every candidate spoke, III
turn, before the close Of the day.
The hearers came and went at will. While
there was always a good audience, the lnol
yidual auditor retired to the outskirts al
pleasure, and others would close up and take
his place.
The editor Of this paper went down with
the intention Of taking notes, but arrived
little too late to get an even start, and SO he
spent the day in meeting friends who were
not listening TO speeches. In other words
electioneerlng for the Press and Banner ofhce
and like the other candidates, we have every
reason to be pleased at our trip.
Additions were made TO our already large
subscription list, and many expressed them
selves pleased with the Press and Banner
We have at Greenwood almost as many SUD-
scribers as we have at Abbeville. There new
er has been time when Greenwood and the
Press and Banner we're not good friends. In
the days before the war, when VIM. G. Davis
was editor, his many friends and kindred al
that place subscribed for the A6berille Banner
and they or their children still take the pa
per. May the bonds Of friendship ever re-
main.

The State Bonds.

The six per cent. bonds Of the State OF South
Carolina have recently gone down from l05 to
99A cents.
There are just two reasons for this.
lst. The semi.annual accumulated interest
three per cent, was paid on the first OF July
The bonds then, to-day, are really worth
three per cent. less than they were month
ago. Immediately after the interest Is paid
they annually go down to that extent.
2d. The newspapers and politicians may
have succeeded in stabbing the credit of the
State to the remaining amount OF 2H pei
cent. The expressions OF alarm at the proba
Bile or possible election OF Tillman may have
effected our credit to that extent.
While Mr.. Tillman has done many things
and may do much else, that does not meet ou,
approval, we have no doubt that Mr.. Tillman
will do everything in his power to preserve
the credit Of the State. He could have nc
possible motive to injure it.
We can account for the action Of the news
papers In the campaign in using the credit o,
the State, US q buggaboo, to trighten voters
but now, since the campaign is over, we art
unable to see why any patriotic citizen
should decry the credit Of the state. Even Il
Tillman was the worst man in South Carroll
ma, that furnishes no reasonable grounds for
her citizens to fall upon her and destroy hei
credit.
AS n matter of fact. the outstanding bonds
will not be due until after Mr.. Tillman's term
of office expires, and 1t Is altogether probable
that another than he will be governor in
1893.
If Mr.. Tiilman Is not elected to the senate,
the probability is, that his present followers
will turn upon him, and elect new man
two years hence. So this talk about injurlns
the credit Of the State Is little less than n
crime against the people. We want good
credit, no matter who Is governor.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1890-08-06
The People are Getting Straight
Again.

Since the friends of Tillman have carried
the day, and the victory Is theirs completely,
quiet and peace is being restored among all
classes.
One of the absurd and foolish things Of this
campaign has been the claim that the candi-
date for county office IS better fitted for the
discharge Of official duties by declaring him.
self "for Tillman."
At Greenwood last Thursday we heard OF
one candidate who went into q store full o.
strangers 10 him, and announced his candi.
dacy, saying he was "for Tillman." He re.
peated the expression Il number of times, and
the gentleman who spoke to us OF the fact
said that he was Tillmanite of the strongest
sort, but that he would on principle vote fol-
no man for county office who based his claims
on any such preteXt.
Being for or against Tillman does not quail
fy man to fill county office, although it il
necessary for a candidate tor the Legislature
to declare himself 1t Is perfectly right for all
such to define their positions on political
questions.
But we do trust that the intelligence and de
cency Of Abbeville county will vote for the
best qualified men for county office, regard.
less of any latter day conversion to Tillmau
politics when he does not need their help, and
their following does not qualify them at all
for office.

Why Not Nominate in August?

Why not nominate candidates for the State
offices at the Convention 10 be held on the
18th Of Auguste What is the use of waiting
until September, when 1t must be clear to
even the most rabld opposer of Capt. Til!man
that there is no hope for any other outcome
nf the struggle for the gubernato'ial office
than the endorsement of the suggestion by
the Farmers Convention? What Is the sense
OF continuing the strife and turmoil until
who will not be satisfied with the nomination
Of Tlllman by any method and would per-
haps vote against him under any circum-
stances ?-ieOck Hill Herald.

September. It Is only question Of time.

With Bullets in Their Brains.

man could live with bullet in his brain, bul
doctors arts and woman's will has set aside
past records. Last Sunday week John Con.
nor sent pistol ball whizzing through the
brain OF Rosa Wilson. All thought she would
die. Not so. She is doing we'll, with every
indication that she will soon be as hale and
hearty as ever. The ball en- tered just at the
top OF the eyebrow, and went straight in
About five years ago another colored woman
caught pistol ball In her brain. She goi
well, and is going about with the lead in her
brain, to all appearance sound in brain and

fortunate in resisting the usual result from a
pistol ball in the brain.
These are the only instances OF which We
have any knowledge where people are carry

Sale Day..-ResOIutiOns and ResOlu

This campaign has been noted for It's reso-
lutions, some of which may haye been wise,
and others may have been otherwise.
In every part Of the State 1t seems that
every meeting of dozen citizens has passed
resolutions which they rushed into print.
We are proud however TO state that Abbe-
Vile has passed fewer of these resolutions
than almost any other county In the State.
The Alliance has placed itself high in the
estimation of the public by the brave and
praiseworthy stand which it took toward en-
couraging Intelligence and freedom of speech.
That was we'll.
The Democratic party, as snch, has done
almost nothing, but on Sale Day in July,
after the adjournment OF the Democratic
club, an aggregation OF citizens, without
formal president or secretary passed mon-
strosity in the shape of resolutions which
neither the Democdatc party, the Alliance,
nor the Farmers Movement were willing to
stand sponsor for. That resolution assumed
to bind citizens TO vote for q particular set or
class OF officers, when in fact the crowd that
adopted them had no right whatever 10
bind anybody.
The preamble and resolution which was
passed last Sale Day, we presume was intenu'
ed as an intidote for the resolution in July,
the intent and meaning OF which seems TO
be only for the harmony and prosperity OF
the Democratic party. They are heartily en-
dorsed by many anti-Tillmanites, but there
is no denying the fact that there is large
contingent which were opposed to the resolu'
tions surrendering them hand and foot TO the
opposition.
While we believe that the resolutions eX-
pressed the real sentiments of q large major
ity Of the anti-Tillmanites. yet they were
not anxious to make formal capitulation at
this time.
Public sentiment is settling down and vo-
ters are beginning to lay aside political preju-
lice to consider the individual merits of the
respective candidates, and the probability
that the people will do the right, as they have
done in the past is not to be denied.

Hanny Time for ALL

On last Friday the patrons OF the Verdery
school gave picnic in honor of the closing Of
the school. Miss Cary Calhoun is the teacher
and receives high commendation for her sue
cessful management OF the school for the last
Two years.
The dinner was spread in the beautiful
grove near Asbury church. The giddy and
the gay passed the time pleasantly in the
merry dance, whilst the more sedate listened
with apparent interest to the speeches of the
candidates present. Speeches were made by
Hon. Geo. Johnston, of Newberry, Hon. c. A.
son, Frank b. Gary, Esq, Hon. X. E. Hill
Judge Lyon, Messrs. G. w. Collins, R. q. Nc
Lees, w. l.. Miller.
The speakers were introduced by Major ]
L. White in happy style.
The day was a most enjoyable one and the
visitors left sounding the praises Of the good
people Of Verdery. ASBURY.

The political question has been settled In
Abbeville county-now settle the whiskey
question. Vote for men who will carry out
your wishes in regard to licensing drunken
ness.
Whiskey advocates say that licenses "con-
troll it." We would like to know where H.
cense fees has ever controlled whlskey. The
very license itself gives away the power to re-
strain the sale of 1t. The Idea of controlling a
business which we have licensed another to
conduct is a proposition to make to idiots.
