Mistake In the Acts.

A mistake was made in the publication Of
the Acts OF the General Assembly at its re-
cent sitting. 1t seems to us that effort has
been made to cast odium on the public prin-
ter, Chas. A. Calvo. This is no quarrel OF
ours, but we dislike to see advantage taken OF
circumstances to do any man an injury.
With Mr.. Calvo's faults we have nothing to
do, but we do say that we believe that there is
not an unprejudiced printer in South Caro-
lima to-day who will deny that Mr.. Calvo is as
good and as careful PRIMER as there is in the
State. For good and honest work he stands
inferior TO no man of whom we have any
knowledge.
Everybody OF good intelligence ought to
know that it is none OF his business to pre-
pare the copy. 1t is his business to print the
matter which is furnished TO him, and any ef-
fort to iniure an honest hard working man
because Of the error of somebody else will
not commend itself TO an impartial public
For our own part, we think Mr.. Calvo is as
good as his accusers. But whether he is their
equal or not we protest at the effort to take
an unfair advantage OF him.

THE COTTON MILL.
Satisfactory Progress OH the Work OF
Erecting the Building.

The cotton mill is going forward with new
impetus. President Bailey and other stock'
holders have lately run up the subscriptions
to between $4,000 and '$S00OO, and another
strong effort is TO be made to increase the sub
scriptions to 100000.
The result, 1t would seem, goes TO prove that
President Bailey has Injected new life into the
enterprise. Abbeville was lucky when the
school trustees some two or three years ago
elected him to the Presidency OF the Able
Vile High School. After serving Abbevllle lie
most acceptably az President OF t6e school. ne
and factory President he IS sinp doing won

He set the good example Of putting $4,000
into the mill, and other stockholders have
emulated his example by increasing their
stock. Having served his day as teacher, he
now enters upon q new field OF usefuln ess,
where 1t now seems that he Will be eminently
successful In giving to Abbeville the biggest
Institution that this old city ever had.
In his coming 10 Abbeville. our people were
doubly fortunate. They have had a good
teacher, and now they will have good mill

Professor Bailey is perhaps the only teacher
in the State who had the ability and the will

our enterprises. He had both the money and
tlons of a community where he Is held In such
high esteem, and in which he proposes to cast
his lot in the future years.

SAMPLES.

The Press and Banner Is very much afraid
that the revelation as to the beer which was
sent as sample to an individual member OF
the board OF control will be very large chunk
of comfort to the enemies of the dlspensary

scandal would break out sooner or later. We
are sorry that any member Of the board of

the law which that board is supposed to en-
force. Let US have no more Of the sample"
