The Political Pot.

The people are beginning to talk of the cleo
ton, and the remark on the undeSirableness
of the Legislative timber is common. While
we have a number of good men in the race
yet there Is a feeling OF so much dissatisfac
tion that we have heard of voters saying that
they did not see how they could fill out
ticket.
For Congress there are four candidates In
the field. All will get votes in Abbeville
County. Hon. w. Z. Wideman Will likely
get good vote. After Mr.. Wideman it seems
now that the race will be between Messrs.
keitt and Latimer. Mr. Keitt made many
friends by his recent canvass in this County,
and Mr.. Latimer renewed the old friendships
of former years. Mr.. Bowden is less known
here than the other candidates. and we DO not
know II he is coming to see our people. he
is regarded as an able man.
Interest in the election OF the County OH
GERS is Increasing, and public sentiment seems
to be settling down to wait for the 25th
This newspaper is neutral. as between the
candidates. The county has nothing 10 lose
in the election OF any one of them, and to
whatever a majority say, the minority Will
consent.

Cutting It Short.

A barber's shop is sometimes trying
place for men who dislike to hear other
people gossip. The barber, especially II
he has little shop and is alone, must
talk to his customers. Here is scene
in country barber's shop, full beard
ed and rather sour looking gentleman
being in the chair.
"Hair cut" says the customer.
Call right, sir. How'll you have 1t
cut?''
"Short."
"H'm-purty short, or only mid
dlin?"
"Very short.
wouldn't if I was you, sir. "
"Why not9"
II don't think very short hair would
suit you at all we'll, SIR"
"Oh, yes, it would. 1t would suit me
exactly"
"H'm-what makes you think so,
sir?"

here for a long time.

KEITT'S SPEECH.
Some Remarks Thereon - Did keitt
Write It?

Editor Press and Banner:
In your last issue there appears nearly q
column claiming to be an extract from Mr.
Jos. l.. Keitt's speech delivered In AbbeVille
on August 3rd, 1886.
l am satisfied 1t was written or dictated oy
him, and intended TO reach the voters I'm Ao'
beville county who were not present. l nave
made no charges against him that he does
not admit, and that are not OF public record
He refused TO vote in the Dem0cratic primary
and voted for Weaver, and urged his friends
TO vote for Weaver. If this does not make
him Populist. then ask what could make
HIM one?
AS to my attending the Industrial Confer
ence at st. Louis, 1 went there 10 represent
the Alliance. l was opposed to Cleveland
until he got the nomination by the Demo,
cratic party, and being q Democrat, voted
the ticket and advocated his election. had
nothing to do with the massmeeting that
elected delegates TO confer with the People
Party at st. Louis, nor have ever consented
TO leave the Democratic party.
The statement made by Mr.. keitt that
was in favor Of the repeal of the purchase
clause Of the Sherman law without comply.
absolutely false and the indignation he says
he felt, and rebuke he claims to have given
me at Abbevile must have occurred in his
sleep, as nor my friends who were present
have any knowledge of any such occurrence
Those who know me and my family in Alb
beville county cannot be misled by such state
mentS made by Keitt and Bowden. who have
tried 10 lead the Reformers and Alliance into
the Populist party against Tillman and the
recognized leaders OF the Reform movement.
They were both opposed to sending dele
gates to Chicago, and SO advised Mr.. Keitt
went to the last May Convention and there
refused to vote for delegates to go to Chicago
If we had followed his advice and lead
would we have to-day Bryan as our standard
bearer and the Democratic party in good
shape for victory? Now he comes in the pri
mary. pledges himself to abide It's action, SUI
port its nomination, hurrah for Bryan, and
says send me to Congress-
am assured such tactics as he Is employing
will not avail. The voters of the 3rd District
will settle this question and TO them appeal

CONTRASTS or SEWING WOMEN.

Advantaees of the Factory Girl In the
Country over Her Sister In the City.
You may see in any one of perhaps a
hundred shops in this city colorless, sad
eyed, dinghy clad women bending over
sewing machines amid squalid sur
roundings, with no outlook save through
a window opening upon sordld street.
You may see in at least score OF coun-
try villages 30 miles from any great
city crowd of neatly clad, happy look
ing girls and women busted with like
tasks, but amid clean and pleasant sur
roundings, with glimpses Of smiling
landscape through every window.
The New York women, released from
their toll, hasten home to gloomy tene.
ment lodgings and unwholesome fare.
The village girls troop from the factory
to modest but clean and pleasant homes,
where food is fresh and abundant. The
New York sewing machine woman is
an insignificant unit in great COM:
munity. She feels daily the pressure Of
her fellows that are ready to take her
place and her earnings. She hears from
embittered men and women talk Of the
rights of labor and the greed OF wealth.
She knows that her earnings would not
keep some Of her rich sisters in cut flow
ers. Whenever she stirs out Of her own
dingy quarter, 1t is to see at every step
evidence Of the luxury in which some
live and of the contrast between her
lot and theirs.
The village factory girl has hardly
heard that there is labor problem. Her
5000 or $3.50 year, earned at the sewing
machine, clothes her we'll, procures for
her small luxuries and helps to keep the
family above want. She makes little
pleasure trips hither and yon when work
is slack and looks forward with conf
dence to marriage and home Of her
own, clean, sweet and comfortable. She
never sees among her fellow townsfolk
one who has any essential comfort that
she lacks, and nine women out Of ten
in the village have less to spend on
dress than she has. She never sees 8
hungry or ragged person, unless 1t be
an occasional tramp, and she hardly
grasps the meaning Of what she now
and then hears about the lives Of the
poor in great cities.
The New York slave to the sewing
machine lives half an hour from the
heart Of the western world and may, If
she will, on any night see Broadway
and it's throngs by electric light. The
village factory girl believes that she
would be happy to give up all her COM
forts for the others privilege Of seeing
at will the splendors Of the great city.
The New York sewing woman would
not, if she could, change places with
the village factory girl York

Henry TimrOd,

Charleston is making an effort to raise a
Memorial Fund" for the purpose of erecting
a Monument to Henry Timrod. We would
love to see Charleston honor her distinguish
ed dead. if she does SO at her own cost. But
for various reasons we will be excused from
lending the help of this newspaper for even
so worthy cause as building u pile OF granite
to adorn the city or to do honor to her
distinguished dead. But if the object met
with our hearty approval among the com
mittee is an enemy of this newspaper who
has said more mean things of the Press and
Banner than any one else of whom we now
have any recollection. For this reason, If for
no other, we will let the Henry Tim rod busi-
ness alone. There can no doubt be enough
proud patriotic citizens to do the work.

A Turfman's Tale.

A New Jerseyman told me good
story the other day on one Of our fore
most turfmen, man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that Of
any other connected with racing in
America. A good many years ago this
tu1fman, who was not then deep in the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with trainload Of mustangs from the
plains Of Texas. He knew nothing Of
the laws Of the state nor of the ordi-
nances Of the city. He knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do it was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, he determined that he would be
his own auctioneer. The sale started out
we'll. Fair prices were realized. Sud-
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded view Of our friends
license.
"License?" he said amazed "what
license? I haven't any license of any
kind"
"Well, you can't sell horses in this
city without license: You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
u.s."
Of course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court friend "a
lawyer), who went bail for him in the
sum Of $50. Then the lawyer said:
"a license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out. Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are 5000 ahead Of the game"
1t was done accordingly. The turf
man and his friend met in the St. James
hotel lately and laughed over the joke.
