. Will We BE United?

Some people seem to think that Judge Gof's
decision against the registration law will
have the effect of re-uniting the white people
in common cause for self protection.
The Press and Banner does not partake OF
this view. We believe the same spirit ami
mates the hearts of the "outs" today that
prompted citizens to bolt the Democratic
nomination in 1890, and We believe that
large per cent. OF the same men will look tc
the negroes in 1895 for their election to office
We believe that no no negro will vote with
the Tillmantes, and that every negro who
votes for a white man, will vote for the Bolt
ers or Independents at the approaching elec'
ton. We believe that there are few men In
South Carolina who would prefer to see the
negroes restored TO power If they or theil
friends or kindred cannot hold the offices
II tramps, strangers. Georgians and othe'
foreigners are allowed to vote-and vote as
often as they please-the negroes may elect
whomsoever they please.

The Outlook.

Everybody seems anxious to look into the
future to discern the good or the evil that
may be in store for US. At the present 1t
would be wise man who would confidently
predict the result Of Judge Goft's decision
against the registration law. If we are TO
have an election without some qualification
OF the electors-without a record of the vot-
ing and the voters-the readers can predict
results as we'll as we can.

HIS LAST SUBSCRIPTION.
An Old Subscriber Nearing the River

Mr.. Robert Stuckey, an old and honored Cit
izen of the Antreville section of the county In
sending his subscription for the current year,
also sent word that this would be bis last sub
scriptlon; that he is suffering from malady
which must end IN death. Mr.. Stuckey Is
now in his ninety first year, and until lately
has enjoyed remarkably good health. He
subscribed for the Abbev!lle Banner with its
first issue, which was more than fifty years
ago. and he has heen a subscriber ever since.
The number of original subscribers TO the
Abbeville Banner has been greatly reduced.
AS far as we can now recall Mr.. Stuckey. OF
Antreville, and Mr.. Robert Pratt, of Green.
wood, are all who survive. If there should be
others we should be glad to hear from them.
II may be that Maj. J. X. Vance, Of Laurens,
was one of the number, but Of this we are not
certain.

The Cotton Factory.

The directors OF the Cotton Factory met
Yesterday evening. The officers were elected
without nominations. The result was as fol-
lows:
Presdent-J. c. klugh.
Vice President-G. A. Nisanska.
Treasurer-W. H. Parker.
The meeting was perfectly pleasant and
harmonious. The prospects seem fair. Com.
mittees were appointed. The subject OF loca'
ton was discussed. The site has not yet been
selected, and 1t is not yet known on which
railroad 1t will be put. The price of lots will
prevent the location on some of the places
which are suitable. The Directors will not
throw away their money. The Directors are
putting up solid dollars, ant; landowners may
not sell their lands at too high price. They
have too many offers.

above the houses but one Of them flew against
Mr.. A. w. Smiths plate glass window and
broke it's head. One lighted on the branches
OF the water oak tree in front Of the Press
and Banner Office. and there made the plain
tive call which partridges generally make
ghen separated from each other. For some
sine he called loudly and earnestly for his
mate. which lay dead in front of Mr.. Smith S
window, just across the street. His call at
tracted the attention of some boys who threw
rocks al him, with never Il sympathetic
drought soT his bereavement, and as the
shades OF evening thickened he flew away,
never TO see hiG mate again.

e. Judge Simonton last week held that
the section Of the dispensary law which for
bids the shipment Of liquor into the State by
private individuals was violative Of the Inter-
State Commerce Law. Now citizen may or
der liquor from another State if he feels so
inclined. This ruling will likely have no per-
ceptible effect on this dispensary.

goober market had not known a change. 1t
had always been conservative and solid-nev.

But last week a change came over the old
dream of the average goober eater. All Of q
sudden one dealer put out paper bags OF pin
dars. holding four quarts, and marked five
cents for gallon, This astonished the ma
lives and stunned the staid old market places.
IN a few days, however. the old dealers rallied,
and put out their sign, Offering five quarts for

What is now the State of Tennessee
was originally part of North Can oil.
ma, Just as Kentucky was a part oi
Virginia. The settlers in this region,
under the lead of Sewer, held a con.
vention in 1854 and attempted to form
a separate State government under the
name Of Franklin or Frankland State
but the scheme was suppressed by the
North Carolina authorities, who caused
Sewer and others to he arrested for
treason. They were never punished
however, and their enterprise Of max
ing a new State was realized later. In
1890 that region was ceded by North
Carolina to the United States 1t was
organized as the territory of Tennessee
in 1874, and was admitted as State on
June ], 1886.
