No Harm.

The Register publishes an article, whlcn We
reproduce In this issue, in reference to an al
legged conference of Butler men In Columo'a
The Register is uneasy about the possioie
outcome of that meeting and seems W lea'
the putting of another ticket IN the neio ioi
the State officers.
According to our way of thinking there
mead be no fear or anxiety on the part OF any
body-because of any action that Butler
friends or perhaps, more correctly speaking
Tillman's enemies may take.
No movement which has not the sympatny
of the great mass Of the people can succeed.
No movement which is developed IN secre'
with closed doors, is likely to fire the puDiic
heart.
But II such a thing were possible ffty-eight
thousand people took part In the recent pr''
mary, and-even II they had not taken al
oath to support the present nominees-they
are in honor bound to abide the result
With fifty y.eight thousand voters standing 10
the nominees, It will be idle TO put boilers
ticket in the field, and we believe tnat sen
ator Butler and his friends have TOO mucn
sense to undertake any such scheme.
AS far as we know, NO one In AooeVliie
cares one cent about the threatened bolt ana
We do not believe that any considerable num-
Der Of our people could be induced to support
an independent ticket. The announcement ol
Senator Buffers withdrawal OF his pledge
created not the slightest sensation or surprise
here. AS far as we are Informed, our peo-
pIe care nothing at all about the prospect
i've or contemplated bolt, but II the WIN
drawal OF o few malcontents will bring peace
we say, let them withdraw, and form little
association OF their own where they can for
ever aftesward cease TO annoy the people.

Although he has been thoroughly Identified

What is Abbeville doing with reference 10
her new railroad TO Pelzer and Piedmont? :?
This question is being asked In various sec
tions OF the country. The writer has recently
visited several places In the upper part of the
State, and he was constantly asked with ref
erence 10 the success Of this movement. II
will be q great thing for Abbeyille and we
must have 1t. 1t Will attract to our place,
draw trade, and bring us new citizens. We
must be untiring in our efforts to get this
road. This Is Abbeville's golden opportunity.
We already have two fine railroads but we
need q new line. With little effort we can
have another new line to Edgefield and make
Abbevllle q railroad center.
We will soon have water works and electric
lights. A charter has already been applied
for Messrs. ]. Allen Smith, P. Rosenburg, j..
G. Klugh and other leading and progressive

The Press and Banner printed some tick cts
TO be used in the last primary election before
the names Of the delegates to the state Con-

names of these delegates did not appear on

triLuted before the names of the delegates
were known. No blame can be attached 10
tine delegates. AS soon as possible these short
tickets were recalled and the regular long
