WHAT MR.. wINDER SAYS.

Abbeyille Has Thus far Compiled
With Her Contract, aud He Has
No Reason TO Feel that She Will
Fail in the Future.
Owing to the many rumors which were In
circulation last week our townsman, Mr.. w.
c. MCGOWAN, wrote TO Superintendent Win.
der to ascertain the facts in reference to the
situation. The following letter is not only
satisfactory, but is gratifying indeed:
Atlanta, Ga, June 2, lS93
Mr.. w. c. MCGOWAN, Abbeville, 8. c.:
Dear Sir IL have yours OF the lst., in refer.
euce to the shop matter. am very sorry To
know that the Abbeville people are uneasy
over the interview held in my office with the
Elberton people. The Journal reports tie in
rerview Incorrectly. The Eiberton people
called on me and stated that they had under.
stood that Abbeville was not complying with
It's contract in reference TO the shops and that
# such was the case they desired TO reopen the
question as far as Elberton was concerned. /
stated In the shortest possible way TO them
that Abbeville had absolutely complied with
the contract thus far and that had no reason
TO feel that they would not comply in every
respect. This was the extent OF the Inter
view.
In this connection beg TO advise that !
have been trying TO get the contract from the
President for the last two weeks, but have
not as yet succeeded. I suppose 1t Is on ac-
count OF his absence from Baltimore.
Yours truly,
John H. Winder, supt.

A delegation OF prominent citizens came
over from Elberton yesterday and called on

They stated that they had heard that Able

location Of the shops there.

The matter was talked over, but the super

with the impression that II Abbeyille falls 70

From the above 1t will be seen that our

If our Elberton friends took any consola
tion from the fact that ali oul bonds have moi

fact, will amount TO nothing. Mr.. WindeI

L. w. Perrin, ESQ.,, Abbeville, 8. c.:
My Dear Sir-The management of the Sea-
board Air Line have had consultation upon
the subject of trying to collect the individual
subscriptions made to the Georgia. Carolina
and Northern Railway, where the proviso
was, that If their towns subscribed, that they
were TO be relieved. believe that AbbeVille
Is one of these points. Now while we think
that IL is rather hard that we should not get
the money upon which We depended when we
went into the construction Of the road, yet II
does not seem to US well, 10 press the individ.
ual subscriptions, where they acted In good
fai ith and passed the township subscriptions,
which however were lnvalidated by your
Courts. have therefore given instructions
TO drop all efforts to collect from individuals
at AbbevIle, but do think that It Is incum.
bent upon the people of your town, TO give US
at least their hearty support In business, as
we are TO get nothing else.
Very truly yours,

holding up OF our Government to public ridi-

cule?
Many States have repealed old laws, and 1t
would be special wonder II the dispensary
law Of South Carolina, doesen't need amend
Ing somewhere. We have been tinkering
with the liquor laws Of the State for many
years. and up to this time no step has been
taken backward. In the dispensary law, we
think the changes will be onward and for
ward-and not backward.
We think we can suggest one change now,
which will have TO come, sooner or later
The price Of pints and half ptnts Is entirely
too low. The object OF the law Is TO dlscour-
age the drink habit and 10 stop the sale OF 1t
by the drink. A drink now costs ten cents.
Then why sell half pint for twenty cents.
and throw in the bUttle? Half pints and
plnts should be sold at much higher figures.
Thirty and fifty cents would not be too
cheap. In buying LIQUOR the less a man gets
for his money the better 1t is for him. II q
man has money to spend In liquor 1t would
be we'll 10 give him the least amount OF the
fiery fluid. There is no use OF the dispen.
sary selling lower than the bar room sells,
and thus encourage the drink habit.
Prohibitionists and lovers Of tenn mperance
should insist upon an increase In the price, so
as to do as little harm as possible with q Civ.
en- sum OF money. When liquor 1s offered
too cheap the temptation is greater than
when higher price is charged.

piled that they had been misinformed and
that AbbevIlle had complied with the con.

ABBEVILLE'S PLUM.
w. o. Bradley OF AbbevtIle Appoint.
ed n Chief OF Division in the
Treasury Department - The Pat.
rOnage Question, Etc.
The State.


Washington, May Ex-senator Butler has
secured one appointment since bis return.
He has succeeded in landing w. o. Bradley of
Abbeville as chief OF division In the Treasury
Department at a salary OF $1,000. 1t Is an out
and-out Butler appointment, as Mr.. Bradley
was not endorsed by Senator Irby. James
Rogers Of Ninety Six, Abbevllle county, is al
30 candidate for similar position In the
Treasury Department, and 1t Is probable that
this appointment will affect his chances. The
fact that Rogers Is an ex-Kentucklan is
strongly against him, as Secretary Carlisle Is
not inclined to recognize any more former
residents OF that State.
Senator Butler had an interview with Secre-
tary Carlisle to-day. 1t was OF a general ma
ture, and nothing was settled upon. The In
ternal Revenue Collector will not be appoint
cd before August. The Senator was seen to-
night, but said that just at present there was
nothing to say in regard TO government pat
ronage for South Carolina. He will leave for
New York tomorrow morning, with Senator
Voorhees,. On his return he Will buckle down
to work for his constituents. 1t is Senator
Buffers intention to see that good Democrats
get the offices, regardless OF faction and feuds.
The patroniZe will be distributed with u view
Of geographical situation also.
Senator Irby has not yet shown up. 1t Is re-
ported here that he son his ear with the
administration. and has said that he will ask
no more OF President Cleveland.

For His Sisters Sake.

Thos. E. Watts killed John D. Betume in
Kershaw County one day last week. The
cause OF the tragedy was an intrusion upon
the good name Of the sister OF the slayer,
which occurred considerably more than year
teen years of age. The long delay was the re-
suit OF the hope that an amicabe settlement
of the affair might be made. The usual repair.
alton having been demanded, was persistent
iy refused and the aggravated brother, having
waited long, took upon himself the execution
OF the vengeance.
The deceased lived for two or three days
after being shot. The slayer surrepderd 10

ing the profits to be charged. The Board are
considering the propriety Of fixing forty per

may be induced from various causes. It may be
thought that such supplies may be bought
cheaper now than latter on In the year, and
! tho fact that the dispensary liquors are
bound to be pure may be forgotten for q time.
Some from conscientious motives In discour-
aging the State from going into the business
may seek temporarily to suppress the sales
for time.
Speaking for the Press and Banner we
would give It as our opinion that the pro-
posed per cent. Of profit is too low.
People who wish TO drink liquor care very
little about the price and we think in great
majority of cases. the less they get for their
money, the better It Is for them. Taking this
view Of the matter the greater the per cent.
OF the money, thus spent, that goes to the
payment Of our taxes the better.
As the sales or the occasion may require, the
dispenser will have help in the conduct OF
the sales. Owing TO the system Of fling writ
ten applications for liquor much time will be
required III many sales are made. ~.
As far as we are now informed, the dispen.
sary will be opened In the store recently oc-
cupied as q bar by MIR. Perry. We have not
heard II any OF the stores now occupied by
the bars have been rented longer than the first

Scientific Searches for Cyclones,

Now in Hiding.


The flag signals Of the weather bureau are
needed in the city OF Abbeville. People with
brains are at work in ali the departments OF
science. Great advances are daily made in
law. in medicine, in all the arts which affect
the welfare OF humanity, and perhaps In reli.
gion. The great mass Of the people see the eff.
fects ann get the benefits. Who can say they
do not7
The Department OF Agriculture is at work
on those conditions which directly affect our
bodies and our food supply. A large force of
Observers is at work all over the States. They
record facts, and the information derived is
freely distributed among the people by the
publications Of the department and by the
newspapers. And the people appreciate 1t.
Who says they do not?
Storm centres are developing daily. In the
last week they have been observed In the
Northwest. in Texas, in Illinois, and in the
Indian Territory. We may be In peril here!
Why not know It? Daily weather maps for
the past week will be at the Abbeyille post Of
fee. Look at them.
