Different Modes of Stealing.

In sentencing the prisoners for stealing
from q coop six chickens last week, the
Judge sent them to the penitentisry for five
years. being the shortest term allowed by law
for the offence Of burglary. The law makes
burglary Of the breaking into chicken COOP
when It is near the dwelling house. The law
which In 1icts such cruel and unjust punish
ment for stealing an old rooster or two Is sim.
oily disgrace to the State which enacts the
law. The law WIS made to fit the negro's
crime, with the evident purpose OF breaking
up his legitimate business.
An educated white man OF course would
not break into chicken coop, but
when he steals he generally does so
under the guise of a contract. The
man who buys goods knowing at the same
time that he will not pay for them when he
promises to do so, simply steals under the
guise OF a contract, and lies straight, without
reference to the statute or the moral law.
For the offence of stealing under the guise OF
q contract there is no penalty, no matter how
much man may steal In that way. AS soon
as the negro becomes better educated he will
adopt the white mans plan Of stealing In
which there is no penalty. BY little
straight lying, and some good fnanciering,
man may steal thousands of dollars and still
be respectable, but If he adopts the old unim-
proved method Of getting chicken soup he
must suffer for 1t.

Week Was Conservative.
In response to the call for State Conv

Col. ]. A. Hoyt was made chairman.
While there was expressed wide diderence

termined to interrogate the candidates Tor the
There was In our opinion q strong senti.
ment In favor of the dispensary system as
against the license system. All the delegates,
however, preferred prohibition, but some OF
them realized with the light of recent past ex-
perience to cripple the LIQUOR business that
prohibition could not be enforced now.
II the license element thought TO induce
the temperance people to split on the tenn
ed. There are few real friends OF temperance
who are 30 blind as not to know that the dis
pensary is q vast improvement on the license
system, and there were only minority or
the few who were there who were willing TO
throw away substantial gain for visionary
shadow of dreamy possibility.
Those who represented Aboevllle county
were unqualifedly opposed TO doing any
thing which would endanger the advantage
which we will have In the dispensary.

ler and r. P. Blake, Of Greenwood. repre-
septed Abbeville. Mr.. Hugh Wilson was
present and, like Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Bradley,
was heartily in favor OF anything which was
promotive Of temperance, but he TOOK no part
In the deliberations Of the body.

Asking Reduction Of Assessment.

Representatives OF the various Railroads
appeared last week before the assessing
board, each showing good reason why the as
sessment Of their property should be reduced
Speaking for the Press and Banner, we feel
glad that the board Of equalization voluntar'.
ily reduced the assessment from what 1t was
last year, and we trust that the board may be
still just, If not generous. II they can see
their way at all clear to grant the request oi
the different roads we sincerely hope that
they will do so.
The great State OF South Carolina does not
wish TO oppress the citizen or any corporation
who appeals. as he may see 1t, for justice,
Let the board be liberal and fair in their deal
1ngs with the roads end let the board be gen.
erous In their thoughts.
It will cost the State very little TO grant the
request, and in return let the roads stand to
the State. With all our heart, we sincerely
wish to see this squabble stopped, even If we
have to be little generous. Enlarged self
ishness pays best in the end, and any little
animosity the State official may feel does
nothing to bring peace and good will. We
want peace now and forever.
The board did we'll OF its own accord In the
first instance.
Now, let them grant the respectful request
OF their petitioners.
And then. let us hear no more Of faulthnd-
ing on the part of either the railroads or the
State. We want peace.

The Ten Per Cent. Tax on Banks.

The Ten Per Cent. Tax on Banks.
The House Of Representatives did right IN
voting down the bill to repeal the ten per
cent. tax on the issue Of State Bank olils.
We have never for once doubted that the Dill
would be lost.
We make no pretepse at q knowledge OF the
financial or sstions that confront this coun-
try. but we do know that the country does
not need to be flooded with trihing panK
bills, such as we had before the war, ana We
do not need any flexible currency" whlcn
may be used by the rich and powerful mo-
nopolies to vex and harry the poor people Oh
this country.
What we need Is q staple currency, that 10
worth AZ much In June as In December and
that is as good TO- day as 1t was years ago.
Our people also need to learn that they
must be selfreliant, which they can not and
will not do II they depend upon tricky legis'
lation for relief from financial embarrass-
ment.
We can conceive Of no greater calamity 10
q people than to have their country Hooded
with unstaple, "aexible." or doubtful curren-
cy and the Congress of the United States act
ed right in an eminent degree when 1t killed
the monstrous proposition to allow BANKS 70
print and issue their comparatively, II not ac-
tually, worthless bills 10 an innocent puollc'
Disguise II as You will, abuse 1t az you
please, cover it up with all sorts Of rubbish II
You 30 desire, but when the clear light OF res-
son and common sense Is allowed TO reach 1t,
it will not be denied that the present national
banking system is the best and the safest that
human tact and human skill has yet been
able to devise.
To 70 back to the old banking system Of
half century ago, would be, in the light Of
experience, as foolish as 1t would be to at
tempt to move back the hand on the dial o,
time.

He Was q Soldier.

In our notice Of the death OF Mr.. James D..
Chalmers the Press and Banner omitted 10
mention the fact that he was Confederate
soldier who served his country with distinc-
ton. He went into the war from Abbeville
in Colonel Thomson's Regiment, End s. g. w.,
in Captain W. c. Wardlaw's company, and
remained in the service until the battle Of
sharpsburg, when he was shot In the wrist,
The wound incapacitated him for fnrther
service In the field, and for this reason he
was detailed In the enrolling office. In omit
ting the above facts from the notice Of his
death, the Press and Banner did so because
of q lack of information, and with no desire
to withhold due credit to gallant and con-
scientious soldier.

Wewould suggest the propriety OF our bus
mess houses taking down their shutters and
leaving the glass lights. In case burglars dc.
sire to enter store, the night watch would be
prevented from noticing work that might be

ly have TO have more or less light. but the

As the question Of the new county may be

hear both sides before he makes up his mind.
