THE SHOPS.

Bad Weather InterHeres with the
Work - Calhoun Falls Stands a
Good Chance for an Immense
Plant.
Mr.. Cloud came to town last Monday to
lay Off the grounds for the shops, and assign
work to the contractor for levelling the
ground, and was busy yesterday stalking off
the land, and Contractor Wright was busy,
with many hands, clearing off stumps pre-
paratory to working the scrapers.
The contractor has been set back by the ex.
tremely unfavorable weather, and for the last
few days could do scarcely anything in the
mud and slush.
The latest grape vine telegram is to the eff.
which the syndicate contemplates putting up.
AS we stated some two weeks ago rich SYN
dicate contempates building immense shops
which will employ one thousand mechanics.
Then we thought II was almost q settled fact
that 1t would be built on the "Bet Line
dictate that Calhoun Falls stands even better
chance for the shopn than the Belt Line. The
land lies we'll at Calhoun Falls and 1t is
cheaper In price, and for many reasons that
on the "Belt Line" and we hope that our
neighboring town MAY get the rich plum, but
we do not want that young and ambitious
city to 60 fooling around after our little shops.
If our shops employ a hundred hands. and In
crease our population from five TO eight hum
ploy q thousand hands and build city of
live thousand inhabitants?
Interested parties came to Calhoun Falls
yesterday to investigate the advantages Of
shops should come to Calhoun Falls the own
ers will buy the Calhoun estate and use the
water power 10 run electric plant which will
move the machinery.

HEARTS AND HANDS.
Two Popular Young People are Mar
ried and Happy.

ried and Happy.
Miss Mabel Upchureh, OF North Carolina,
and Mr.. Augustus M. Smith, OF AbbeviIle,
were married on Wednesday, January 25, 1893,
at the home OF the bride In Raleigh. North
Carolina.
The marriage ceremony took place at half
past two O'Clock In the afternoon.
His brother President J. Allen Smith OF the
National Bank, and bis sister. Miss Mamie
Lou smith. attended the marriage, and gave
wishes.
Receiving congratulations OF the friends
who witnessed the marriage, together with
telegraphic congratulations from friends
abroad, they boarded the train for Florida.
Spending some two weeks or more at the
returned to Abbeville last Friday, where the
happy couple will make their future home
among host OF friends who wish for them
all the happiness that may be allotted to NOR
The bride Is we'll known 70 our people, and
host OF friends welcome her back as the
bride OF that popular and courteous young
gentleman, Mr.. Gusse Smith.
Mrs. Smith is beautiful in person, possess
ing rare attsinments and unsurpassed accom-
plishments in music and song, while her ex.
perience In travel In foreign lands ia unequal

selves.

Reason Asserts Itself.

It seems that the whiskey dealers OF Char
lesion have concluded to take practical
common sense view OF the dispensary law,
and with very few exceptions the three hun
dred LIQUOR dealers of that city have deter
mined to change their business after the first
OF July, or else 60 elsewhere to follow the
whiskey trade.
The dealers in other sections, 1t seems to US,
will gracefully yield to the inevitable.
There can be no question that the State has
as much right to sell the liquor as it has to
forbid Its citizens to sell 1t, except upon II.
cense nom the State. In acknowledging the
right 70 control 1t by license, the whole prin.
oiple IL yielded. Even If the Courts in their
wfsdom, should decree that the bill was pass.
ed irregularly, the Governor could assemble
the Legislature, and remedy the defect.
As far as the public is concerned, we do not
believe that three hundred men could be
found In Abbeville county who prefer the
open bars to the dispensary.
The fact is, that a vast majority Of our peo-
pie want prohibition, pure and simple, which
the dispen sary gives us, unless we choose, by
petition, to set aside the prohibition guaran-
teed to us.
It Is idle for anybody to attempt to charge
prohibltionists with hostility to Cover nor
Tillman in refusing to sign q petition for a
dispenser. and we hope the Governor will rec
ognize the condition OF affairs, and not use
his Official power to force the dispensary up
on us.
With ninety per cent. OF our people opposed
to the re-opening OF the bars, and with per
haps eighty per cent. In favor of absolute pro
hibition. Is 1t unreasonable to hope that the
Governor and sixty of the citizens OF the
town OF Abbeville may not unite to override
the clearly defined wish OF four-hfths OF our
people.

THE DISPENSARY.
The Possibility is, That Abbeville
Will Fall Into Line.

Mr.. r. E. Hills name Is brought forward
prominently for the position OF State Dis
penser. with the chances in his favor.
A petition has beer presented 10 the free
holders Of Abbeville asking their signatures
to petition for his appointment as district
dispenser. AS far as we can learn the requi-
site number Of signers has not yet been OBJ
tained, but 1t Is said that q sufficient number
OF signers will likely be found.
The Press and Banner favors prohibition,
pure and simple, but as between the open
bars and the dispensary we believe the latter
Is vast improvement on the old way. Un-
der the dispensary we believe that those who
buy liquor will get purer and better quality
than under the present plan, and hence ma
jority Of those who drink will be satisfied
with the dispensary plan. The dispensary
will not offer the inducements for loafing that
is now offered.
But Of one thing the public may rest as
sured. II the dispensary goes into effect the
prohibitionists might just as we'll 60 out OF
business. The profits will be 80 great that
neither the country folk nor the town folk
will be willing to close the 'dispensary. The
only way therefore TO have prohibition is TO
keep IT when we've got 1t.
But II We must have the dispensary, we are
In favor Of getting the best available man for
the place. II will be the most important Of.
fee In the county, and we take no stock in
any effort TO cast odium on the man who fills
As our citizens will assume the responsible
ity II dispensary is established, they ought
to be careful to recommend none but good
men for the place.
