THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday. June 23-p. N.
BY the operations Of the New-York Sub-Treas-
ury in the week ended last night. which included
payments Of $4,000 for purchase Of Pacific Rail-
road bonds. the associated banks gained Sl,26s.-
OIL The weekly bank statement published to-day
showed an average gain In cash Of S67OoO. Inc
most surprising feature of the statement was the
increase Of $3.50 500 in loans, because there has
been no demand for money On either specula-
tive or mercantile account. There has been
small demand from country banks In some sec
tions. but evidently 1t was offset by receipts Of
currency from the interior because the average
increase in holdings of legal tender notes consid-
erably exceeded $1,000 600 The increase in de-
posts was consonant with other changes and IN
its details the statement was unusually conss-
tent The result OF all the changes was further
loss of only 1920 in the surplus reserve and
the banks still hold in excess Of legal require
ments s76.S55,S75. against $5,4s1,975 in the cor
responding week year ago and Sl9.S12,O5O at the
same time IN the preceding year.

The Convention.

The recent True Democratic Convention
may have done some good, and II Is hardly
probable than any harm was done.
IT is nothing amiss to put the "dominan,
element" on notice that they must moi
totally disregard party principles and party
pledges
While the Press and Banner believes nc
good could come Of making nominations
there is certainly no harm In a conference o
public spirited and patriotic citizens.
II nominations were made, the "dominant
element would perhaps have new excuse fol
calling on the faithful to close up the ranks.
According TO our vision the. .disintegration
of the Reform faction has already set in, In
this county, end it seems to US that what
ever we do to irritate and oppose the majori-
ty will only postpone the day when Tillman,
Irby, and his immediate followers must give
place to faIrer and less extreme men.
There can be no possible doubt that 1t Will
not be long before the leaders who now have
their own way, will be deposed, and other

Lively Business Prospects.

From the amount OF goods which is being
brought to Abbeville the many stores must
be looking for the largest trade that we ever
had. The crops are good, and the people owe
less than usual at this season.
While it Ia said that cotton today is lower
than it has been for forty years. yet we have
plenty Of corn. Our mules, horses, and cattle
are fat. Our hay crop is larger than it has
been for years. The barns will be filled with
the finest Of hay, and everything points 10 a
prosperous and happy winter.

"Abbeyille SIates."


It seems that some people are determined
70 believe that Abbeville has made states, and
pressed Abbeville village men for office.
Look ut the Court House, and see how many
Abbeville men are filling public office.
Mr.. r. E. Hill. the recently elected Probate
Judge is the only Abbeville man who was
elected to Office in the recent primaries.
The others came to the village because Of the
offices to which they were erected or appoint
ed.
At this time Abbeville men have no office
of profit in the Court House.
Abbeville will have only two members OF
the next General Assembly, Mess. Robertson
and Gary, and the county will have four.
The county will get all the offices Of profit
and two thirds Of the political offices.
And Abbeville village has never asked or
received from the county excessive favors
either In political honors or offices OF profit.
The present Sheriff came from Due West
The Clerk of the Court came from Green
wood.
The School Commissioner came from An
treville.
The Probate Judge came from Verdery.
One ecounty.commissope came from Green
wood; one from Little Mountain, and one
from Magnolia.
The Master came from Greenwood.
The Treasurer came from Greenwood.
The Registrar came from Hampton.
The Coroner comes from White Lick.
Not q single officer in the Court House Is an
Abbeville man, except as he was made 80 be-
cause of his election or appointment to office.
AS far as we can recollect the village has
furnished two sheriff's, one Comfy Commits
sioner, and one Treasurer since 1876. The
county furnished the rest.
But, ii anybody begrudes US the only officer
We have had in long time, we can only say
that Abbsville's vote is only a small proper.
ton Of the whole, and we could never elect
an officer without the concurrence OF the peo-
pie living away from Abbeville.

Last Thursday some thirty-six men were
from the railroad shops at Able

many men will work hardship on the men
