In a brief special to the daily pa
pers of the State printed last week
the lynching of a. negro for Gin
sulting" a white woman was men
toned. The occurrence was said to
have taken place at "Fort Madi-
son." a town or village orpost office
which we have not been able to To-
cate.
To insult a white woman or any
honest woman is a scandalous and
detestable offence but it is not a
crime that will justify or excus
the infiiction of death as a punish
ment. The special did not indi-
cate the character of the "insult"
,;uc il it was nothing more than an
insult and not accompanied with
violence there was no shadow of
excuse to justify the taking of the
life of the offender.

Among the conservative" pa
pers I'm South Carolina there Is not
one which cares to see faction and
discord among the white demo-
Gratis of this State. We know of
none which have not applauded
acts of the Tillman administration
and nearly all have repeatedly
commended the Governor on one
account or another. AS a rule the
Conservative press is fair and
frank and tells the truth.
Those papers who pose as the
peace-makers, as the chosen instru-
ments to unity sentiment, as the
patent eradicators of all the pois-
onous humors of our State politics
do In the profuse testimonials of
their own virtue of course insinuate
that all the rest of us are disturbers
Of the public peace but we can for
give 1t. When anewspaper assumes
a monkish role and q sanity coun-
tenance, ascends a pedestal built of
its own fimsy assertions, and pro.
claims itself as peculiarly and COM
paratively holy the discreet public
very justly explains the ludicrous
proceeding as an advertise n g
scheme, as merely another way of
suggesting that a few more sub
scribers might be accommodated.
AS such it Is excusable.

1t has been nearly two thousand
years since Brutus and that faction
devoted "to the good of Rome" was
defeated and the republic fell into
the hands Of the "Triumvirate"
who despotically ruled it, but it is
curious to note how history is re-
peated here in South Carolina. The
latest point In which the parallel is
maintained Is "that Lepidus Gone of
the Triumvirs) after the battle of
Pbilippi" has been deprived of his
power con the unfounded charge of
reasonable conduct" We quote
the words of history.

The Pickens Sentinel shifts war
among the Reformers and hints
that the Conservatives should
maintain an EARNED neutrality"
next year. We fain would agree
with the Sentinel that the Conser-
vatives SHOULD not have anything
to do with politics next year"--or
I'm years to come. We suspect that
our, people are but Indifferent poor
players in the game.
"But what q shaking up there
will be next year. There are Two
factions Of the reform party and
the contest Is likely to be between
them. Tt is none of our fight and
it would be we'll for the Conserva-
tives to keep their hands off and
let them fight 1t out among them
selves. We think 1t the best thing
for the Conservatives to do-not
have anything to do with politics
next year."

Young Men Read This,

DR.. Woodrow, president of the
South Carolina College has issued
an official notice to the young men
of the State. He says: entrance
examination to the South Carolina
College will be held in the college
library on Monday and Tuesday,
June 26th and 9th. Students who
desire to enter the college In Sep
TENDER are earnestly advised to
present themselves at the June
examination. They can thus learn
what additional preparation may
be needed. If the deficiencies are
r not too great, further study du-
ring the summer months may en-
able the applicant to enter uncon-

We hear q great deal of talk In
this section about Congressman
Shell having turned in his politics.
No body will say that Capt. Shell
is q fool, and IL he IS an anti now
he has never been anything else;
but does it make him an anti be-
cause he endorses q man for Office
who Is an anti IL he DO competent
to fill his office? i suppose that
Capt. Shell and Col. Watts have al
ways been personal friends, and is
the time coming when we are to
fall out with our neighbors just
simply because their political views
differ from ours. Is not an anti as
good and as we'll qualified to fill
offices as a~Tillman man. Just
such a racket as has been kicked
up about Capt. Shell endorsing Col.
Watts for an office, which every
one knows he can fill, is not the
way to restore peace and harmony
in South Carolina. Are we not all
Democrats from beneath the same
flag, and If Mr.. A does not agree
with Mr.. b in politics that is no
reason that they should fall out
with each other. Let us have peace
in the Democratic party, and if

To the Abbeville Press and Banner:

Dear contemporary:--When a
certain sentence of a certain edi-
torial which appeared in the issue
of this paper dated May 3Oth ult.
which you quote and inquiringly
speculate upon in your own last
issue was penned the editor of this
paper had not you in mind.
Rather than infringe upon any
darling privilege you may claim to
mention or reproach the Haskell
ties when ever you may feel so dis
posed we refrain from insisting
upon the advisability of your ceas-
ing it.-what though we expose
ourselves to the charge of retreat
ing from our position. And further,
let us assure you that we look upon
you as not only abundantly self
respecting, but worthy of the sin
cere respect of your neighbors.
The fact Is, contemporary, we
are sorrowfully but speedily drift
ing to the conclusion that the safest
thing for newspapers of our politi-
cal persuasion to do is to quarrel
and "kick up the dickens of a row"
among ourselves. While the State,
and the Greenviile News, and we
ifnot you are snarling and sneering
and squabbling over nothing there
is every prospect that the illumi-
majors of the enemy will grow dis
orderly. Therefore, we shall not
murmur or grieve if you feel called
upon in your issue each week to
seize Haskellism by the nape of
the neck and slam 1t against the
ground.

Since last weeks issue the AID
yERTIsER has been informed that
the office to which Col. J. Wash
Watts was appointed by Governor
Tillman carries with 1t a little pay,
enough to recomponse Col. Watts
for his trouble. Col. Watts has
been the recipient then Of similar
favors from Governor Tillman and
Capt. Shell, In the bestowal of
which the Captain appears to have
committed the diabolical crime of
treason TO his friends while the
Governors little Kindness to an
Anti has been found deserving of
not the slightest condemnation.

The exercises Of our High School
closed OIL Friday the End inst. The
friends and patrons of the school
were present in large numbers and
all were delighted with the teacher
and the scholars. The examination
showed that the teacher had not
negligently done his work but was
thorough and paiDstaking and the
pupils by their prompt and correct
answers to questions, evinced a
familiarity with their books which
could come only from study and
research.
A picnic dinner was served Mt
the proper time, which was greatly
enjoyed by everyone. Gross Hill
is highly favored by having such
fine schools and teachers.

QUIET IN THE SENATE
\ QUESTION WHO SHALL RULE
Is II the Fault of the Majority or Nil
nority That the Financial Prob
lem Is Not Solveds

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-On reconven-
ing this morning the senate listened to
Senator Morgan of Alabama on the mo
tion of Senator Dolph of Oregon to
amend Mondays journal so as to show
the presence of Senator Allen at $50
p. N. of that day, Allen having failed
to answer when his name was called.
AT the conclusion of Senator Morgan's
speech Senator voorhees, moved TO Law
on the table the motion of Senator
Dolph to amend the journal Agreed
to, ayes As, noes 3. Senator Teller Of
Colorado then moved to amend the
journal so that it would show his pres
ence on certain roll-call when he did
not respond to his name, and he ad-
dressed the senate. He quoted from a
statement of Carlisle in regard to in
sisting upon the passage Of the repeal
bill, and said;
What right has the secretary of the
treasury to interfere with us in this
matters 1 resent it myself as breach
of privilege. When we surrender our
convictions, whether it be on the ad-
vice of the president or on account of
public clamor, the degradation of the
senate will begin and the usefulness of
the senate will be at an end.n
Senator Mills scored Senator Daniel
with being guilty of revolution and con-
tinued:
81 do not blame the minority; blame
the majority for sitting still like chill
dren and permitting the government to
be paralyzed. You can not pass an APP
preparation bill or bill reducing tax
alton, nor help commerce, because the
senate has left its rules and abdicated
its power. The issue has entirely
changed, and it is useless to discuss the
wisdom or unwisdom of repeal of the
Sherman law. The whole question in
which the American people have the
deepest interest today is, shall ma
jority or the minority of the legislative
branch rule2 | am asked tauntingly,
Will l go and carry into execution
whatever the majority in caucus shall
write down.? say, without any hest
tation, no, l have not reached that
point of establishment that l will come
here and register the will of somebody
else.n

Slain by q burglar.

PULLMAN, Oct. IA. B. Cooper, a
guest at the Artesian hotel, was shot
and instantly killed by burglar whom
he discovered in his room at an early
hour this morning.
The fatal shooting occurred at 3:15 a.
m, and the evidence shows that the man
was in the hotel until 1870 a. m.
Three watches were stolen, one from
Deputy Sheriff Eacho, who happened to
be in the hotel; one from John Trede
and one from the murdered man. A
small sum of money was also stolen.
