Building.

Many hands are actively at work building
up the waste places at Abbeville.
The Messrs. Allen are putting up an I'M
mense shop opposite the r. & d. depot, and
many machines are on the ground ready tc
be put in position. Judging from the magni
tude of the layout, 1t is going to be much
larger concern than our people expected. The
main building is 20 by 200 ieet, besides the en-
CINE room and drying house. This firm will
employ from twenty-five to one hundred
hands.
The Messrs. Beard are actively at work put
ting up the Foundry and Machine Shop or
the lot which lies across the street in rear o
the Methodist church. They are first class
mechanics and their shops will make quite ar
addition to our town, and they will give EN-
ployment chiefly to skilled workmen.
Capt. Wright with many mules and n full

Repeal the Law.

In view OF the fact that no white man, AS far
as we now remember, has ever been punished
for killing negro, we suggest that the statute
against killing negroes be repealed. so far as
white men are concerned.
We further suggest that instead Of the death
penalty for murder, that fine Of $50 be sub.
stituted.
We propose, too, that a section be added to
the criminal law, requiring Circuit and Su.
preme Court Judges to give convicted white
men as many new trials as may be necessary
to secure an acquittal.

ROBT. JUNKIN A VETERAN
Served Faithfully, But Can Receive
no Pension.

Mr. Robt. Junkin, OF Augusta, was faith
full Confederate soldier during the war be-
tween the States.
Mr. Junkin is a printer, but because OF inJu-
rles received in the war, can mot work success
fully at his trade.
Mr.. Junkin was Georgian at the time OF
his enlistment, but enlisted with Carolina
company, serving In Jenkins brigade In the
second South Carolina regiment
Though resident OF Georgia, because OF his
enlistment in Carolina, he cannot secure a
pension. His case was laid before Col. Tip
Harrison In Atlanta to-day. He is q deserv-
ing veteran. Since the war he has been res
dent OF Augusta.
The above Is from the Augusta Evening
News. We presume that Robert Junkin Is
the same man who learned To set type in the
Office Of the Abbevile Press in 1859. But
whether he Is the same man or not, we hope
that he may receive the pension which he 80
much deserves.

A MARK OF WEAKNESS.

We hope never to see again in this
city the spectacle of candidate for
"a high public Office crawling before
the community with an apology or de-
NAL about his religion or alleged re-
ligion. The fact that man is a Cath
Ole or Protestant. Methodist or a
Mormon ought not TO figure in his
qualifications for office.
1t is mark of weakness when a
man tructles to d bigoted sentiment
against any particular religious de-
nomination. 1t is no voters business
what are the religious convictions OIL
affiliations OF any candidate for office
unless such association involves a VIC
lation of the laws of his country.
Eagerness to deny that which is every
mans right to hold if he chooses is
a sign of cowardice.
The Herald in referring to this mat
ter has no desire to be Extensively per.
sonal. 1t is a public matter concern
ing a candidate for public Office, and
it has a bearing upon an important
public question. We claim that a
mans religion, with the exception we
have noted, is no concern of the voters
They have no right to inquire into his
religious belief or his church member
ship And on the other hand he should
neither affirm nor deny his faith OF
his attachment or aversion to any par
ticular religious association.
If the church and the state are tc
be kept apart, SO that each occupies
its own sphere and neither is permitted
to -encroach upon the other. inquiries
and denials as to a candidates re-
ligion are superhous and should

PROVO POLITICS.

The Republicans at Provo, with their
scrubby little sheet, have been making
q great to do over the alleged extrav-
agances of the Democratic city govern
ment, and have spread the story dill
gently for the purpose of .rejudicing
voters against the Democratic ticket.
Like most of the stories that have
been circulated by the Republicans in
this campaign = excepting the party
advocates in this city and county, who.
SO far as we have heard, Lave only
used fallacious arguments and not in
territorial deceptions-th Provo asser-
ton is false and that has been clearly
demonstrated.
A committee of investigation was ap-
pointed by the municipal Democratic
convention to examine the records,
and obtain facts and figures and make
full report. That committee invited
the Republicans to furnish a similar
committee that the books and accounts
might be Jointly investigated, but the
accusers did not respond.
From the very complete array of
figures which were published in the
Provo Dispatch we learn that when
the Democratic city council entered
office, February IS, 1892 there was a
net municipal Indebtedness of $780,
474.S7 AT the date of the last fiscal
report August u, 1893, the indebted
ness Of the city reached a total of
$14S, S56.5S, or a decrease in the public
debt of s1,61S29. The expenses of the
city during the twenty-one months
covered by the report aggregated ST.
013.52. For the fifteen months preced-
| ing the date when the former council
went out of office the expenses were
$35,967S5. Taking the difference in
time of the two periods, it will be seen
that the Republican expenses were
nearly double the sum of the Demo-
cratic expenses.
These figures are only part Of the
excellent showing of the present city
council, a great many other details
being given by the committee of a
similar kind, and those figures we have
given as totals being itemized with full
particulars. The number of saloons has
also been reduced from thirteen to five
and other improvements have been
made in Provo affairs.
We mention these matters at a date
which will not affect the election, so
that it may not be charged that we
have brought them forward for voting
purposes. We do it now to furnish
another sample of Republican dupIicity
and falsehood- and to dfssipate the
charge of extravaganza against Demo-
cratic officials. In the campaign now
about closed our political opponents,
in many places outside of this county,
have resorted to the lowest tactics of
degraded political demagogues.

THE UTAH ADMISSION BILL.

When the dispatch was received an
nouncing the report of the committee
on territories in the House of Repre-
sentatives favoring the passage of the
bill for the admission of Utah as
state, it was thought by many that
the statement that it was the Rawi-
ms bill was mistake. 1t was be-
lieved that it was the Wheeler bill, as
the bill prepared by the chairman OF
the committee was known. We have
received copies of the bill and of the
report of the committee and find it is
thus entitled:
H. r. 352 In the House of Repre-
sentatives September 6, 1893. Referred
to the committee on territories and
ordered printed. MR.. RAWLINS in
troduced the following:
A bill to enable the people of Utah
to form constitution and state gov
eminent and to be admitted into the
Union on an equal footing with the
original states.
The report is dated November 2,
1893, and is substantially the same as
made by the committee on territories
in the last Congress which was OPP
posed only by the Republicans on that
committee. This time it seems to
have gone before the House without
opposition, and it will most likely pass
that body early in the regular SEES
sion.
A full synopsis of the bill has ap-
peared in The Herald and there is no
change in its provisions, the only
amendments being a few verbal alter
atoms that do not change but only
make clear its purport The bill is
very liberal in it's land appropriations,
and a distinction is made between the
Utah University and Agricultural Col
lege appropriations so that those in
situations may be kept separate if de-
sired.
Mr.. Rawlins is to be congratulated
for obtaining recognition of his bill
and urging it through the committee
SO as to get it reported to the House
during the extra session, when other
matters were so pressing upon the at
tention of Congress. We look for
early action if all things in Utah turn
out to be propitious
