The Press and Banner IL Constantly
Adding to it's Facilities.

Lately six hundred pound font OF James
Conner's Sons best seven-point body type was
sh pped to us from New York. This type is
not to be used on the papcr-it was bought 10
use in printing pamphlets or other work
where 1t might be needed.
We have about five hundred pounds Of
bourgeois type, on which we print briefs and
other pamphlets.
We have two Gordon presses, one Campbell
press, an endless variety of job type, and rs
good printers as can be found anywhere. A
large furce of faithful men and a great quan'
tity of material. enable us to do good work nj
the cheapest rates, and our increased business
attest the popularity OF the job printing de-
partment.
The last purchase which the Press and Ban'
ner las made is BascOm Folding Machine
which folds our paper in most satisfactory
manner, and is quite a help to us. We usual
ly commence printing between three ana SIN
o'clock in the morning. It is hard job for
printers to fold papers after working until
these hours, and mainly TO relieve them Oh
hard job, at an unreasonable hour. The
folder was bought. 1t folds rapidly and Is
easily fed. One man can play part OF his
time and fold 1.6OO papers in about two hours
We print about 500 copies an hour.
The large list Of our subscribers ard the
many expressions of Kindness, from those
who take the paper, is at once gratifying anu
assuring.

The Work of Last Saturday.

In every county, town and hamlet OF the
State the Democratic clubs were re-organized
last Saturday with surprising results to all.
The strength and the determination, the
gains and the victories of the antl-Tillmanites
in every part Of the State were a revelation.
The party which Is battling for good govern
ment and striving to uphold the honor OF the
Commonwealth while laborlng for the tinan-
cial credit Of the State has taken new heart.
and will now work more earnestly than ever
for the attainment of those ends which are
most conducive to our welfare as individual
citizens and as body polite.
Those OF our fellow citizens who have here
tofore lacked a conviction upon which they
could base hope have received new inspira-
tion, and those who are leading in patriotic
fight for good government will thus receive
aid from thousands Of those who were only
waiting to follow where others might lead.
AS those who speak for the Administration
have changed their plan OF campaign from
one OF defence 10 one of warfare on capital we
have nothing to do but to accept the gauntlet
which has been thrown down.
1t Is we'll for US that such has been the case.
AS a question OF personal preference be-
tween the individuals who compose the re-
spective tickets there is not enough In 1t to
excite our enthusiasm.
But If one ticket arrays itself at the head OF
q declared commune, and makes war on all
the institutions which have heretofore been
considered pullc benefactiuns, more than as
rewarders of private investment.
And when the other is headed by ticket
which favors equal and exact justice TO both
capital and to labor. the case is different, and
the principles involved are worth our best
efforts.
The followers OF one ticket having appar-
emily banded together for the common pur-
pose OF Furnishing all who may have, by in
heritance or individual effort, acquired mon
ey or respectabiity it is but fair that the
friends Of justice should retaliate by com
bination for the purpose of selfdefense.
The history Of the past has abundantly
proven the folly OF abor combining against
capital.
The storm which passed over this State In
1890 swept everything before II, and those
who were warred upon stood paralysed
or dazed.
But the developments OF last Saturday
showed that the members OF the vanquished
faction OF the Democratic party have recov-
cred their equilibrium, and are ready to stand
their ground and will henceforth make
brave fight for their rights.

rhe Woman's Industrial School.

Our neighboring town. Anderson, has Sc
cured the location Of the Woman's Industrial
School.
The State asked for bids for its location.
Anderson offered $4,000 in bonds; Columbia
offered $4,000 in the same way.
The establishm' Mt OF the Womans Indus
trial School WIS the sharpest thing that the
last Legislature did. The State. Us we under
stand, obligated itself to do nothing. 1t can
therefore, accept Anderson's offer, spend 3d.
OOO in land and buildings, and lay away the
remaining $4,000 of bonds as an endowment
fund, the interest on which ought to be ample
to pay all expenses Of the Institution.
It Is fair to presume that the State would or
ganize Woman School In any town IN the
State which would furnish the money 10
build the houses. and give an endowment
fund sufficient 10 pay all current expenses.

The school Bonds.

The school bonds are now on the market,
and they offer q rare investment for thirty
years. The interest is seven per cent, paya-
BILE twice a year, and are non-taXabie.
Every citizen who has surplus cash should
buy bonds to the extent OF his purse.
Although the bonds were only ready yester-
day, many applicants have been filed from a
distance, and several of our own citizens
have spoke for part of them. 1t is matter
of congratulation that the school committee
have deterninded TO give our own citizens
the preference In this matter, and will hold
the bonds for a reasonable time In order to
give everybody chance at them.

What Becomes OF Lightning Rod
Men.

It is noticed that as the number OF light
ning-rod agents decrease the ranks OF the
green goods merchant and the gold-brick
peddler are filled up. Strange how coinci-
dences may lead TO false conclusions, yet in
this case 1t could be safely said that the rod
agent has adopted a method OF gradual re-
form.-Exchange.
In the past we have warned our people
against the folly OF spending their money
for lightning rods that were worth about as
much as barbed wire. fencing. but we never
suspected evil Of the men who sold them.
We have so often exposed the folly OF wasting
money on lightning rods that we presume il
Is useless to repeat the adrnonition. bat we
will say this: If any man wants lightning
rod let him use barbed wire, which will serve
his purpose just as well, and will cost great
deal less. Again, If the reader is determined
to have lightning rod, or barbed wire, and
has no ladder, let him put the lightning rod
on q neighboring tree. He can then climb
on the limbs while placing the rods.

"The Necessity Of better Public School Sys

Teachers Association on this matter and sec
what can be done.
When we look over in Anderson and Green
Vile counties aud some others and see theiI
teachers receiving their money on or even be-
fore the term Is ended. 1t causes us to wani
some changes. Why is IL that Abbeville, the
old historic county, can't borrow the money
as other counties and pay her teachers when
they shall have closed their schoOl-terms?
Think of 1t a teacher must teach five O,
SIX months tor only slU. Sl5 or $50, and have II
discounted At II Der cent. or wait until neXl
December for his or her monsy! Can we, as

The State Wing.

In the case of the State against the rail-
roads in the matter of excessive taxation, the
railroads have won on the first round.
The Court sustained the railroads in so far
as TO allow them to put up testimony to show
the fact Of over assessment.
The Court in this case, as In the Coosaw
case. is right.
The decision is a great victory for our
