making a hole about two-thirds

distribute about one-eighth OF the

the hole and and stem of the
patch, spreading it evenly on the
inner surface and around the stem
and grasping the stem and twist

initiate the tire as hard as possible,

remain at the bottom, so that the
solution will settle around it.

minutes test for leaks, and if none
appears, cut the stem off even with

Will Respected Brethren Notice This.

Some weeks ago some one, with perhaps no
better foundation than malice in his own
heart, started Il report that the railroad shops
were TO be taken away from Abbeville.
Quite number of the brethren of the press
seemingly eagerly caught up the false story
and published it in their papers.
Now, we hear reports which we believe Ia
be true, that the railroad shops, in
stead of being taken away, are to be
greatly increased in capacity, and that the
number OF workmen is to be correspondingly
increased. Rumors reach us Of important
changes in the e., e.. II y. management and
work, and the building up and the increasing
of the works at the shops is part of the report
We will see if the brethren who readily
gave circulation to the false and malicious re-
port, will take any notice OF this report,
which augurs well, and not evil, for Abbe-
vile.
We would ask the public 10 be on their
guard against reports that nave for their pur-
pose the injury of Abbeville.
Our prosperity and our phenomenal growth
of late years, as a matter of course, excite the
envy and jealousy Of those who would tear
us down and ruin us, If they could. There
fore we ask the brethren not to catch at every
falsehood that is set in circulation against MS.
Abbeville has abundant reason to be proud OF
her growth and prosperity, and while we are
safe on a firm and lasting foundation, and
feel that the circulation of falsehoods can do
us but little harm, yet we desire the respect
and good will of the outside'word.
Abbeville has taken on new growth, and is
today as solid and as prosperous as any town
in the State.

Notary Public Removed.

We learn that the commission to }. I
Walker as notary public has been revoked by
Governor Evans. This action, we are told
was taken at the request OF citizens. The
Clerk of the Court at Abbeville has been or
dered to strike his name from the record
notaries public
Similar action has been taken with respec
TO some other notaries In other counties.
We are without specifications in these re
movals, but 1t is said TO be Tor action in refer
ence to the registration Of voters.
Speaking for the Press and Banner we nave
no sympathy for any movement which has
for its object the transfer Of this Government
TO the hands of others than 10 whom 1t prop
erly belongs, and if any notary public has at
tached his official seal TO any paper withou
first being assured that the parties interested
have complied with the law. we think the
Governor does right in removing an officer
because of his lack of carefulness. The indis
criminate attaching Of official seals TO papers
merely for the fee that is in 1t, should be dis
courased. The official seal should be efl
dence of the correctness Of the paper. and no
merely a certificate that the notary has re
ceived twenty-five cents.

Trying TO Register.

Without attempting to comply Win lhe re-
ouirements of the law, great multltuues o'
negroes come here every day. ana present
themselves for registration.
The Supervisor of Registration cannot reg
lister the citizen unless he comes properly
qualified.
If q former ticket has been lost and re-
newal is needed, the forms Of law must be
complied with, and the renewal ticket Is
promptly issued.
If a citizen has Just become Of age. he has
certain proofs to make, and he Will get MS
ticket.
If q citizen refused to register in lSS2, ana
neglected to attend TO the matter since then
he has only to prove the facts as to where he Is
living or has lived since that time. If he
does that his ticket is given to him without
unnecessary delay.
But for some reason, the negroes and those
who seem anxious TO get them registered
seem to think that anybody has right 10
register without complying with the require
ments Of the law.
AS looks TO us, the negroes seem TO think
that they, because OF their race, are ABOVE
the law, and that they ought not TO DC requir
ed to comply with the statutes.
II they comply with the law, IL IS just as
easy to get ticket, as dropping of a log; ou'
If anybody thinks that they can get tickets
by simply standing around the supervisor
taking up bis time asking irrelevant ques'
tons, and pushing others from the desk, they
are mistaken.
Instead OF getting their papers properly
filled out, and presenting them in good shape
they come pell NEIL, without observing the
law, and expect the tickets, which they Will
not get.
If man refused or neglected TO register all
these years, and now wants to register, the
least he can do is to comply with the law
show where be has been living and get his
ticket. Without proving his place OF resi-
dence, every negro in Georgia might come
here and register, and no such fraud as thai
will be tolerated.
Some say it is hard to register. 1t Is indeed
a hard job, if you fail to make the necessary
proof. If the Supervisor of Registration
should disregard the law, and give out tickets
contrary to law, he would likely suffer for IT,
But YOU may depend upon 1t, he will stick to
the letter of the law-no matter how mnch
yrumblng there is because he refused to give
out tickets unlawfully. He has, perhaps
been asked to issue thousands OF tickets un'
lawfully, but, as far as we know, he has Is
sued no such unlawful ticket and has not re-
fused ticket 10 any qualified voter.

Delegates to the Convention.

The idea that we must have good men 10
represent us in the Convention prevails, ana
it seems that some men are very much i'm
pressed with the Importance of getting able
men in that body.
While the general proposition Is good
enough and we'll enough, yet Aboeville Will
likely send no man to the Convention VINO
will make his impress on the Convention
There are no doubt a few men who Will write
that document. and then their followers Will
vote for it, no matter how much ability may
be pitted against it,.
While we would prefer to see the aolest
men in the County 60 to the Convention, II
will be seen that party affiliation will be more
potent than brains in making Constitutions.
In the first place, there is no need OF new
Constitution, and this Convention ought mol
to have been called The calling Of the Con-
vention has come perilousy near running
this country. II the people had not mani
tested disposition to get together this Coun'
try would have been turned over to The ne
groeS.

We see that active work has been done by
many Supervisors OF Registration In different
counties bat we think none OF them could
nave done better than our Supervisor, Mr.. j.
ID. Carwile. Although the requirements OF
the law have been most dif1lcult oil cOInpll-
;lnce, yet he has remained at his post during
Ill the hours prescribed by law, giving out
tickets, answering questions, explaining to
applicants the requirements Ot Tile law, ana
telling them how TO proceed. The white men
who crowded his office, and the great multi
Lude OF negroes who crowded the window,
was obliged To be more or less confusing, 10
the Supervisor of Registration especially
when people had To be told over and over
again how to comply with the requirements
of the law, but amid all this rush, and perfect
ignorance as to what had to be done TO secure
u reg istration ticket yet, large number OF re-
uewaS were granted, and quite number OF
new tickets were iSSued-probably not less
than forty or fifty; about equally devlded be.
tween whites and blacks. Those who simply
wanted renewal tickets, had but Ilittle anu

names OF the books But those who had neg
Iected in former years 10 register at al found
IT. difiicult to find witnesses who would swear
TO the iacts as required by law. ot course
those applicants who could not furnish The
necessary certificates could not get tickets.
The result of the registration will not ma.
teriuIly benefit the chances Of any body who
had based their hopes on securing the negro
votes for delegates to The Stale con |cnllnn.
The negroes, though, Were greatly wrought
up over the necessity of getting tickets. 1t Is
said that the preachers have tor awhile given
that matter considerable attention.. IL Is said
that some OF the negroes nave uSeu llhl oiu
chestnut about being put back into slavery, II
they do not get tickets. Certain IL Is, That
many of them seem more anxious To gel tick-
cts than to provide bread Tor their families.
The trouble with white men is, their indl-
ference to this very matter. Some ol them
seem not to care whether they are dlslrau-
chised or not, and some Of the politicians,
we believe, are indifferent whether sucli
white men register or not. Being careless
about maintaining their citizenship, they are
not TOO certain that such voters would vote
right, and hence it appears TO us that things
are working along pretty much by accident,
without special concert Of action.
There has not been time since the ollice
was open that a great company of negroes
have not stood at the registrars window,
waiting to be served in some way.
