French Anarchists Are Keeping Police
and Citizens Wide Awake.
PARIS, Dec. 23.--The police authori-
ties are still ON the alert against anarch-
lists, and the latter continue sending
their threatening messages to various
officials and announce that further out
RACES may be anticipated. In addition,
the police are in receipt of several suspi-
cious packages, and supposed Internal
machines continue to be found in the
streets and elsewhere.
Though no actual feeling Of panic
exists, there is no doubt that nobody
here will be astonished at the news Of
fresh outrage upon the part OF the
anarchists. The repressive measures
taken against anarchy throughout
France have served to enrage
the anarchists, and to make many
of them desperate and anxious
70 demonstrate that the police are not so
powerful as the government ilnagines
them to be. This does not alter the fact,
however, that the firm attitude Of the
authorities is having wholesome effect
upon all classes Of society, somewhat
restoring confidence among the hour
geoise, and putting decided curb upon
the obnoxious vaporings Of the enemies
of society.
A package was discovered early in the
morning on . window sill Of the Marie
OF the Thirteenth ACCOMPLISHMENT. A
burned ont fuse was attached to the
package. and upon the latter were the
words: Death to the Hourgeois.
The package, upon being examined by
the police, was fonnd to contain blasting
powder and revolver cartridges.

SAVINGS BANKS.
All Mechanics and Other Persons Re.
ceiving Wages Should Save Some


In every city the mechanics and others who
receive salaries put q portion OF their money
into some Of the savings banks.
In Abbeville we have at the present time
much larger number OF mechanics, labOrers
and others who receive wages than ever be-
fore.
The machine shops, the oil mill. the In.
creased business at the stores, and the great
rush OF builoing and repairing houses IL un-
precedented. 10 keep all these lines OF In
dusiry moving requires large outlay In
cash, but despite the cry OF bard times II
seems that large per cent. of the wage earn
get II. They neither indulge their employers
BY postponing their demands, nor deposit
anything In our banks. =,
This ought not TO be 80. Every man should
lay by something for rainy day, which TX
sure TO come 10 every one Of w sooner or
later.
Let every wage Garner make some safe and
potilable investment, t, or else put his savings
In bank.
Having made 30 many mistakes ourself, we
do not feel warranted in giving advice, but
we think that the bonds of the town of Abbe.
Vile afford safe investment. The bonds
run thirty years and pay seven per cent The
editor Of the Press and Banner would not hes.
itate 10 buy as many Of them as his money
would pay Tor. We mention this To show our
confidence In them.
If every wage Garner could lay by one OF
more OF these bonds they will furnish fair

Of the purchase. Judge Cothran took some
fifteen or twenty OF them IN payment for the
land which he sold for the railroad shops
Judge McGowan bought u number Of the
school bonds, paying cash for them.

Anything stran d that course. neighbor :?
All that we see strange about 1t is that any free
born white man in South Carolina should
have for two or three years past submitted
the question 10 his neighbors whether he
might exercise the privilege Of using his own
property.
IF the neighbors of the Press and Banner
should assume to elect an editor OF this paper
or presume 10 say who should edit 1t next
winter, the probability is that they would
have their trouble for their pains. Ii Mr.
Blake owns the scales and Is free citizen OF
the State of South Carolina we do not see why

Making Figures of Themselves.

The fight between Judge Simonton and
Governor Till man goes on. Judge Simonton
recently sent one Swami, State constable
TO jail for selling barrel OF fliquor which was
found in a railroad depot that was in the
hands Of q receiver.
Plain every day citizens do not quite see
how receivers can disregard the laws OF the
State, and they fail to see wherein the Judge
is warranted In lnflicting such severe punish
ment on an inferior officer who thought he
was obeying the mandates OF the law. The
Judge sent Swami to jail for three months,
and until he should pay the fine. Since them
however. the Judge has ordered the Sheriff Ia
release Swami on condition that he reports
daily to him.
We believe this Is the case In BRIEF
Now comes Governor Tillman's turn. AS
usual, he talks too much with his mouth, and
he ls too bitter IN his utterances. 1t doesn't
sound we'll for the Governor OF a State TO be
talking 30 much about en- officer whose po'
sition rs equally important and as dignified
as his own.
or course In the enforcement Of the dlspen.
sary law the Governor has the sympathy OF
all the temperance, or prohibition, people In
the Sl2ce.
The Press and Banner hopes that the Gov.
ernor will enforce the law to It's fullest extent,
and will relax none Of his determination on
that line. He should teach the saloon men
and all others who violate the law the neces-
sity or expedIency Of respecting the law.
Judge Simonton is wiser than Governor
Tillman In that he keeps his mouth shut. He
just .'says nothing and keeps on saving
wood" Although he may entertain as much
bitterness for the Governor as the Governor
expresses for the Judge. yet he says nothing.
He just embodies that bitterness In decree.
which, on the surface. is as gentle as May
morning, but which in fact, cuts worse than
two-edged sword. Then the Governor gets
mad and shows his hand.
The Press and Banner, however, hopes that
the Governor will 60 on arresting whiskey

Is Governor Tillman losing his hold on the
people? Some time ago be suggested the pos.
sibility OF calling the Legislature together TO
pass "stay law" against the collection oi
debts. Various Reform papers oppose the
measure. For instance, the Edgefeld Adver
tiser says:
I'VE can scarcely believe the Governor is In
dead earnest about the "stay law" for the en-
actment OF such o measure would benefit no
body except the rascals, and, un less the ras.
calls are IN the majority In South Carolina, II
wouldn't even be good politics-to say moth.
Ing as TO slatesmanship."
When a good Reform paper, like the Edge
field Advertiser. TAX es issue with the Governor
and talks back, we may not be surprised to
hear something drop. Independence ol
thought will crop out now and then, ard we
should not wonder TO see reason again assert
itself even In South Carolina. One man can't
long do all the thinking for great State like
South Carolina.

PefrY-McCalla.

We see by the newspapers. that the Reform
ers are greatly exercised in Washington for
fear Senator Butler will be able TO have B. F..
Perry, OF Greenville. appointed Collector OF
Int rnal Revenue. The Reformers at the cap.
ital want I. H. McCalla. of Abbeville, to get
the place. The antis down this way are not
greatly excited over the issue. As between
the Reform" candidates, Perry and Mccall
Ia, the Press and Banner would vote for the
Abbeville man.

Governor Tillman assumes good deal,
when be thinks that Judge Simonton is rum
ming the United States District Court to spite
him. The Governor doesD t seem to like the
Judge Az matter Of convenience 1t might
be well for somebody to abolish the United
States Court in this State. If that could be
done the Governor might elect new State
Judges and have good time. The "lion and
the lamb might lie down together" then-the
lamb being inside, Of course.

The Law Is a Good One.
