Times Change,

In 1876 when d. H. Chamberlain attempted
to canvass the State In futile effort TO per-
petuate negro rule, he was roughly treated in
Edgefield, and at Abbeville he was so i'm.
pressed with the hostile demonstration that
he quit the campaign and gave up the fight.
In l>a5, ]. ]. Dargan goes 10 Edgefield for the
purpose OF appealing to the negroes. and in
the interest OF the movement that has for It's
purpose the overthrow of the white people In
South Carolina.
Dargan was treated at Edgefleld In 1895 in
about ,he same way that Chamberlain was
treated in 1876.
We believe the whole State, except the Re-
publicanS endorsed Ine treatment which
Cham bcrlain received, and patriotic white
men everywhere rejoiccd at Chamberlain's
surrender.
In 1895 we believe that the majority OF the
white men have no sympathy for Dargan, and
have no word OF condemnation for the good
people Of Edgefield In defending themselves.
But 1t is true that some white men-at this
time seem TO be greatly shocked that Oar
gan was not allowed 10 make his inflanma-
tory harrang.
The Press and Banner has no sympathy for
either Dargan or the dirty work in which he
is engaged.
Good Democrats and patriotic citizens may
side with Dargan and against the people OF
Edgefield, but we think the number OF such
Will be exceedingly small

On Friday evening. the 2Sih instant, the
closing exercises Of the Mount Carmel Graded
Schools TOOK place In the chapel OF The school,
Long before the appointed time the capa'
cious auditorium was filled 10 It's utmost ca.
pacty.
A highly entertaining progrom had heen
prepared, which introduced In various ways,
sweet music. amusing charades, fine selec-
tions, pretty songs, and beautiful and impress
sive drills and tableaux.
We simply state the truth when we say
that the young people acted their parts with
credit to themselves. teachers. parents, ana
the Interested beholders, and manifested on
that occasion great skill In their several parts
Each and all deserve high commentator,

that moves the world Is brains.' and have nj
the head OF their Institution q man OF talent,
culture and intelligence In the person OF Prot.
s. B. Latham, OF Due West. who is assisted by
his accom- plished sister. Miss Emma Latham.
Mt Carmel is quite fortunate In securing the
services OF such excellent teachers.
One of the most pleasing Incidents OF the
chain Or gold 10 Prof. Latham by Rev. 4. l..
Patterson In a lovely and appropriate form.
The chain was gift from the pupils OF the
sixth graUe as q token OF love and respect for
their faithful teacher.
Prof. Latham In a very impressive manner
expressed his gratitude and appreciation for
their thoughtfulneSs, which awakened tender
emotions In the hearts OF the audience. as
we'll as IN those OF his pupils, making them
feel that each golden link united them closer
TO their beloved teacher.
The entertainment was perfect success In
every particular, and was highly enjoyed by
all who attended.
Special mention should be made regard ng
the exquisite music which was furnished by
Messrs. Cowan, Harris aud CaSon. accompa.
MED by Miss Ada Jones.
The people OF Mt. Carmel have cause to feel
elated at the success already achieved by
their school, which Is yet but In lis infancy,
and should cooperate with their sympathy,
encouragement and purse In assisting their
efficient and enthusiastic teacher In building
up the school.

Not Very Profitable.

The recent publications going TO show that
the profits on the dispensary of the State has
been small is most gratifying TO all that por-
tion of our citizens who favor sobriety and
temperance. We all know that the sales Of
liquor have been greatly reduced since the law
went into effect, and we all know that COM
parative peace and sobriety have ruled the
State since then.
The recent violence In Spartanburg and the
defence of the unlawful armed entrance OF
our State by North Carolinians TO trample
under foot the laws OF South Carolina
show on the part OF the liquor faction
deep and earnest opposition TO the curtail-
ment of the whiskey traffic In this State.
AS far as we can understand. the opposition
10 the law is based upon two grounds:
/. Honest and conscientious convictions
that the liquor business should not be inter-
fered with.
=. Hope OF overthrowing the political fac
tion now In power. and thus regainlng the
offices of honor and emolument for them
selves and their friends.

The Business Of the Town Is Good
The Crop Prospects are Prom.

Although We had season OF despondency
last winter, the trade has been quite satisfac-
tory. The credit sales have been as large as
our business men desired 10 make, and the
cash trade has been good. The good effects OF
the railroads are to be seen on every hand.
The pay roll covers large amount, perhaps
$4,000 q month, and the presence or some.
thing like three hundred shop people and
trainmen, adds 10 the business OF the town:
They occupy a large number OF houses ana
pay rent for the same, and many families
lake all the boarders they can accommodate.
Active work has been commenced In maxi
ing brick for the factory. The number con-
tracted for is one million and as many more
as may be needed.
This work will give employment to hands
who will be paid In cash. and the burning OF
the brick will furnish market for the large
amount of wood that Will be necessary TO
burn the brick.
The bi lex are to be delivered, one.half In
September the other half in November.
Last week we reported ten thousand dollars
additional subscribed stock, and this week
we hear that other liberal subscriptions Will
be made.
We have already fifty thousand subscribed.
AS soon as we can raise the fifty thousand 70

SPLENDID RAINS.

Heaviest Down Pour In n Life Time.
Abbeville County has been favored with re.
freshing showers In almost every part. In
some places the rain fell SO gently and slowly
thai the ground soaked 1t up, and but little
ran OIL. But In other places heavy rains fell.
At Due West the rain and the electric storm
were fearful. The little streams were higher
than ever before. We learn tnEt Mr.. K. w.
Haddon says that he has never known the
creek on this side Of Due West 10 be SO high
At Donalds the rain fell in torrents and
washed d away the cross ties that were lying be-
side the railroad track.

Strange circumstances.

1t seems strange to us that that portion Of
the Democratic party OF the cities who are too
pure and holy to associate with the honest
hard working, law-abing country people
should seek TO be the champions and de-
tenders OF the Iawless element OF the State.
1t seems strange that the city people who
are too pure to associate politically with their
white country brethren should be so solicitous
about seeking the friendship and goodwill Of
the country cornfield negroes.
We can understand why lawyer who is
out of a job should propose to go to court for
them, II somebody will hand round the hat
and take up a collection.
Another strange thing is the wholesale and
violent deuunciation OF the good people OF
Edgeneld, from various quarters, because they
invited the Hon. j. J. Dargan not to speak
The people were incensed at him, and simply
gave him orders to get out Of town. They
treated him very much as they and the people
OF Abbeviile treated Chamberlain in 1876. 1t
was all right then. Bot Chamberlain pre-
ferred white supremacy. Dargan wants to in
cite the negroes TO dissatisfaction with the
laws.
Another strange thing is, that the negroes
white man on the face OF the earth that really
wants the government turned over 10 the ne
groes-and, when there are no plums or offices
In sight, one white man is about as good
friend to him as any other. All Intelligent
white men want to see the negro get his exact
rights in his personal business transactions as
we'll as In the courts of justice. But We be-
lieve no white man. who is true to himself or
his race, is the negroes friend, politically.
1t seems strange. too, that the former office
holding class should die so hard, and show so
little common sense in the hour OF their de-
feat. Elegant city gentlemen and little cuckoo
country editoes haye nothing TO gain by in
sulting the voters. There is only two ways OF
gaining office in South Carolina, namely:
/. BY an honest vote of the people in the
.imary.
2. By manipulating convention.
The people having had taste Of personal
liberty in voting for men Of their own choice,
will hardly ever consent TO have cut and dried
tickets placed in their hands by anybody
Even the country people of Edgefield who dc
not want to hear Dargan speak may be con
sidered by some people as good as Dargan
apologists.
1t is strange that the city liquorite and the
mountain moonshiner, should be prompted
by like disposition to resist the same laws
Although the city lIquorte and the moon
sinner may be as far apart as the poles, YET
each would sink the State or die for his liquor
Itisstrange that so many newspapers should
seek 10 assail the good name of the State
simply because they do not like the men who
hold the offices, or because Of opposition to
the laws.
1t is strange that so many men who are am
bilious OF political power should seek to
strengthen their party in weakening their
own ranks by the alienation OF friends. and
by insulting the ranks Of the opposition. from
whom alone strength can be gained, or acces
sions received.

Spartanburg Scared.

Spartanburg seems 10 have gotten excited
over the killing of the moonshiners, and Or
dered out company OF militia as a defense
against the expected raid of Bill Durham 8 and
Jack Fishers friends. Are North Carolina
moonshiners In such numbers as TO warrant
them In an effort TO run over city as nu-
merous rs Spartanburg and where so large a
per cent Of the people are their friends. II
would be cruel in the moonshiners 10 attack a
city full OF friends. 1t would be ungrateful In
the moonshiners to whip out Spartanburg.

How to Make u Town Grow

Henry Grady wrote the following which fits
the situation In Abbeville as well as else-
where: "Go out determined TO magnify the
in which your lot Is cast. Guilt
vate its small economies. Stand by tsyouug
Industries. Commercial dependence is the
chain that gals every day. A factory built
at home, book published, shoe or boot
made, these are steps IN that diffusion Oi
thought and interest that are needed. Teach
your neighbors TO Withdraw from the
vassalage OF distant capitalists, and pay, un-
der sacrifice, the mortgage on tile home or
land. BY simple and prudent lives stay
within your own resources and establish the
freedom OF your community. Make every
villa and cross roads, AS may be, sovereign
to its own wants.
