CONTRIBUTED LOCALS.

Abbeville, 8. G., January 10th, 1894.
The question now agitating the minds Of
AbbevilIe's best and most energetic business
men is, shall we have a cotton factory In Alb.
beyille. Judging from the expression OF our
business men and well io-do farmers, who say
they are now willing and ready to subscribe
for liberal share In the enterprise, which
they feel will be of great advantage TO our
people at large and do more towards building
up our growing town than any and all other
industries now In our midst. Look at the
growth and prosperity OF the counties in the
upper part OF our State and say II cotton fac
tories have not been the great factors In their
upbuildlng? Now-is the opportune time,
while the subject Is being agitated, and our
people are ready. VIII the people OF Abbe-
Vile let this opportunity slip9 we think not,
und believe by your next issue we will hear
something more encouraging about q cotton
factory to be established in Abbeyllle. Let
others will become interested and the result
will be one that will set in motion many idle
whites now In Abbevfle, besides bringing
many great advantages TO the people Of Alb
beville county.

Fault. Finding - Besmirching tht
Good Name of the State.

In another part of this issue Of the Press
and Banner appears ono OF those daily as
saul:s upon the people and the good name OF
the State of South Carolina. This piece
comes from Columbia through the News and
Courier.
1.-THE whole head is sick, the whole heart is
faint" with so much grumbling and SO much
faultfnding,
Even admitting that we were badly govern.
ed, and acknowledging the fact that the old
set are all out of office, and that the horrible
dispensary law interferes with our whiskey
guzzllng. is there any sense or reason IN Tor
ever holding up our grievances to the puolc
and making efforts to ruin the character and
good name Of South Carolina? Didn't we
long since learn that it was bad policy to
wash our linen in public?
Every Carolinian loves South Carolina and
is proud of her record In all that goes to shed
lustre on the fame and glory of people who
are as proud and as chivalrous as any that ev-
er lived.
Then why this eternal and everlasting
fault-finding and sneering at the majority oil
the people?
Why the never-ceasing lament that
we and our family. our set, or our coterle oi
the Lords annointed. are out Of office? Why
this constant talk. by reading through the
lines, we may see that the "outs" consider
themselves SO much more respectable than
the 'ins?"
b. Lord bless me and my wife,
My son John and. his wife,
Us four and no more-amen."
Is it done with any insane Idea that such
conduct and such disrespect for the majority
of the people will induce them TO acknowl-
edge their own inability to hold office and TO
draw salaries, and that they will forsooth va.
cate and humbly ask the old set to take their
old places?
