Are We to Have any Change In the
Salaries.

We do not know if Capt. Cowan intends to
lnausurate any new rules in the government
of the schools. but If we are in order, we
would suggest that 1T is now time to still fur
ther reduce the pay OF teachers.
II So. 50, and 81, were taken of respective.
ly from first, second, and third grade teach
ers. the school terms wonld be increased
about one month, and the same teachers
would, in nine cases out of ten. remain in
the service.
Another matter If the people were allowed
greater liberty in exercising their own wish
in opening new schools or in moving the
houses, the Commissioner would find less op.
position when he seeks reelection.
Minoritles, and humble people, have rights
which should be respected, even in official
quarters.
Local bosses have no risht,-ln equity or
justice-to appropriate the public funds ex.
clusively for the use Of themselves and their
friends. The claims and protests of those
who happen to be out of the influential cur
rent, should receive the syeclal care of the
School Commissioner.
If the School Commissioner, would listen
more to those who have no friend at court,
and let their own chosen trustees have less
influence with him, he would serve the peo.
pie better, and he would meet less opposition
to his reelection.
The peoples wishes should be respected.
They know better than anybody else what
they want, and If they get what thay want,
the officer In turn may get what he wants.

AbbeviIIe's Disadvantage.

Abbevile is on q branch line of the g. & G..
road, and we have in the past suffered great
inconvenience in the schedule OF the trains
and in telegraphic service.
Lately the schedules on the Abbevlle
branch have been all that we could ask or
wish.
The track has been improved and the speed
of the trains is satisfactory.
But in the telegraph office there seems to be
Il missing link.
Without making any reflections on the To-
cal operator because of grievances for which
he is not responsible, we would mention one
or two facts.
Saturday evening and Saturday night, Au-
gust %, it was impossible to get telegraphic
dispatches to or from Abbeville. The opera
tor at Abbeville was in his office.
Last Friday night, and until Saturday
about midday. we were cut Off from telegra-
phic communication with the outside world.
The local operator was in his office untila q late
hour at night, and was promptly in his place
on the morning to which reference is had.
To have the Court House town OF a large
county like this cut off from telegraphic COIN
munication during the elections which took
place August 90, and August %, is matter of
no small consequence to the public.
Each night after the elections eager crowds
assembled at the office, and the lack OF infor'
nation was only equaled by the lack of light
in the office.
For large part OF the time on Friday night
August -, only one little lamp on the opera
tors desk, furnished any light at all. On 9th
er occasions 1t is almost impossible to get suf-
icient light 10 either write or read dispatches,
if any should be received.
The running of a railroad and the operating
Of telegraph line is matter which chiefly
concerns the owners, but for all that, the pub.
lie will complain at unsatisfactory service
though the owners Of the property may re-
gard such complaints as upwarranted inter
ference with their business.
This community is about threadbare,
and hereafter notices of Irregularities and
lack of q reasonable service on the part OF
either the railroad or the telegraph will be re-
ported to headquarters.

Deduct the blanks, 6S thus found, from the
total vote 2905, and 1t will be seen that l4oi IL
a maIority of the votes cast for House Of Rep
resentatives. The tabulated statement shows
that Dr. Adams received 1i1S, or nine more
than were necessary for his election.
II was easy enough to determine VINO
had the majority Of all the votes Tor Sen
ator. while 1t would have required three mer
for half hour to determine what was actually
the majority for the HouSe-the total vote
for the House could only be determined oy
an actual count Of the ballots, and the Old
rule OF requiring Legislators to have MAJOR
ity, was applied as in former elections.
The only good now 10 result from this aGi'
tation is, for candidates and voters, to deter
mine on somc definite plan, and then see thai
the law and the rules are strickly complied
with in future elections,
The candidate who allows the election 10
be declared. without protest, sleeps over his
rights. in case there were irregularities.
Any candidate who may have felt dissatis.
fled with the election, should have raised the
question as to the actual number OF votes cas-,
for the House. But, as no one raised the
point at the time, 1t seems that the candidate
himself submitted and consented to wha'
now appears to be q wrong, and he must now
abide the consequences. Since the election
has been declared. there is no way 10 open up
the matter The tellers acted according to
precedent and custom.

October o. be a suitable time?
The cars on the new road will be here then
1t will be charming season Of the year our
stores will be full of the prettiest and best

Then let us have jubilee.
Let cheap excursion run for everybody,
with suitable arrangements to accommodate
the ladies with different coaches from the
crowd.
We might have speech or two.
We might have good band of music.
We might have dance for the young folk.
We might have banquet for others.

The Election.

We present the tabulatcd statement of tho
second primary election.
All the places were filled. except that of the
Mr. T. \. Graham and Dr. p. II. Adams will
be voted for again next Friday.
The election of School Commissioner is
notable in the fact that Captain f. Cowan Is
elected to that office for the third time. He
has been elected for alternate terms for three
times.
He was elected first, because of dissatisfac
tion with his predecessor in giving salaries to
teachers which absorbed the public fund in a
few months, when the schools Of the county
were all closed in unprecedcntcdly short
terms. Being OF Il practical turn of mind he
reduced the salaries and kept the schools open
for longer time than ever before.
Although he was defeated at the next cleo
ton, yet he had strong hold on the people
and when they had tried new School Com
missioner for one term, they re.!nstated him
At the end Of that time another superseded
Captain Cowan, and now when he has been
out OF office for two years he is reelected
again.
The otllac Of School Commissioner is an Of
lice the actual business Of which can be done
for about seven dollars Il month, and is there
fore, one Of the most desirable in the cOun-
ty.
The retiring School Commissioner has
made q most excellent officer, aad the vote
which he received as an anll-Tilmanlte Is
complimentary to him in the highest degree,
while the fact furnishes one more proof thpt
the Alliance is not always solidly against a
good officer.
Captain Cowan is an Allianccman. who en-
dorses Tilman, and is an active Farmers
movement man.

Josh Ashley Beat the Alliance.

To Josh Ashley may be attributed the cred
1t of Norrls's defeat last Friday.
Sometime ago "Citlzen" Ashley was offend.
ed because the Alliance caucus at Anderson
ruled him Off the track In the Legislative
race.
For reasons unknown to us, Mr.. Norris be-
came the object OF Mr.. Ashley's disfavor.
On the day of election he came to Able.
willie, and it Is conceded that lie turned from
Mr.. Norris that day enough votes to cause his
defeat.
SO, If the Anderson Alliance caucus eDcom-
passed his defeat and denied Mr.. Ashley a
free race for the Legislature, he now In turn
enjoys the satisfaction of knowing that he
has gotten even with those who wronged
him.
We shall not attempt to say that the gcncr-
al public of Anderson County, and Of the
Third Congressional District. is not under a
double debt OF gratitude to the Anderson
caucus.
Without the exercise OF their kingly power
in pulling down one man and in setting up
another, the people of the Third Consression-
nj District would have nominated the Hon
ID. X. Norris for Congress last Friday, and
but for their action 1t is possible that Joshua
Ashley would have been chosen by Anderson
county to q seat in the next General Assem-
bly, of South Carolina.
With facts like these before us, are we to
learn no lesson?

TO one of the humblcst citizens OF that coun.

choice for Congrcss-the very man upon
whom the Alliuncemcn everywhere had set
their hearts.

,JudCe COthran.

In all the trying history connected with
Abbeville county, within the last thirty
years, Judge Cothran has taken an active
part. At the breaking out of the war, he went
10 the front as sergeant of a company, and
during all that fierce and bloody struggle, he
stood in the forefront, and came home with
honorable wounds on his person.
After the war he went TO the practice of his
profession as lawyer, and won destiction at
the bar.
In 1876 he organized the campaign in this
county which resulted in the overthrow OF
the rule of the negro and the alien. Although
the excitement ran higher, and although an
tag0niStic race feeling was more intense than
was ever before known in any country, yet by
magnetic conservatism and the will-poWer
which lie exercised over his followers, he
brought the campaign to successful issue
without the shedding OF blood, and without
any serious violations Of the peace.
Having won the great victory, he was ever
q safe counsellor, and was not less wise
and sagacious in preserving those blessings
than lie was heroic and daring in the strug-
gle.
Again, in 1870, at the recent meeting Of the
Straig htout Democratic Convention, he was
present.
Then, as in the past, he counselled modera-
ton and discouraged hasiy action. Without
fear, he opposed anything which looked to u
division in the Democratic party of South
Carolina, and with the boldness of one who
loves his country, he argued for the mainten'
uncc of Democratic unity.
During his speech which was eloquent and
forcible, he said
81 am white man. The white man Is my
brother IN blood and in life. l will stick 10
him and 20 with HIM..
The GreenriUe NeWS says: at is imPor-
"tant, and cannot be improper to add that
"the keynote Of that action was found in one
"utterance," that utteruncc being the words
above quoted.
1t was largely due to Judge Cothran that
the action of the late Convention was such as
to prevent untold troubles to the people OF
south Carolina. He urged, as an indiSputu'
ble fact. that there are as good Democrats In
the Tillman faction as in the other. To these,
embracing the white people of the State, her
destimes are committed. They alone are
charged with the preservation of her civiliza'
ton. They cannot escape the responsibility
it they would. 1t can only be maintained by
their joint efforts. A division or split means
nothing, more nor less, than the appeal by
the one or the other faction, or by both, to the
negro vote, and it may be truthlully said that
this would be q worse calamity than the cleo
lion of any candidate.
Judge Cothran and others have averted an
evil to all the people, and Abbeville county,
is placed under renewed obligation to her dis
linguished son, for valuable services in the
hour of her iced.

The primary election, of August 22, in 40

The Press and Banner does not believe that
there were five hundred legal votes cast on
the % of August, and we do not believe that
there were half dozen boxes where managers
made any pretense to a legal compliance
with the requirements Of the law,
But as our correspondents have made no
question of the greater illegality which
should have vitiated the whole election. we
will pass the question which we have raised
and considerate it from their own stand
point.
Thinking that mathematical problems anu
suppositious hypothesis might err, rs TO the

JOhnstOne's minority.

Johnstones majority y.~"............. 19
For the number Of votes polled, this Is, per
haps. the closest vote that was ever held here
about.
Mr.. Norris was run as The Alliance candi-
date, and we believe he depended entirely on
that vote for his election. On his visits to
Abbeville wo did not hear of his having
sought the acquaintance Of any man III the
mercantile or other business pursuits at this
place. If he called on any OF the public otl-
GERS or any OF the professional men in this
county, we are not aware OF the fact.
Mr.. Johnstone ran on general principles" +"
and sought the votes of the people irrespect.
i've Of their afliliation, or non afliIiation with
any Of the secret political organizations
which now exist throughout the country.
If the Alliance had set up different man
than Mr.. Norris TO represent them, there is
no doubt in our mind that they would have
elected him.
In Abbeville county the Alliancemen voted
almost solidly for him. Assuming that few
outside of the Aliancemen voted for him,
we believe that not more than one hundred
Of the order failed to vote for him.
Mr.. Norris, like many local candidates, no
doubt uttered somewhat in the public esii-
nation from the evil reports which were cir.
culated against him.
