Stockholders Meeting.

The stockholders of the Abbevllle Cotton
Mill will meet tomorrow at six o'clock In the
evening. 1t will be an important one In many
respects. The Directors hope TO report the
subscription to the capital stock increased to
SlOO. 900. In that event assurances are given
that $4,000 of Northern capital will be added.
At a meeting of few friends Of the enter
prise last Saturday 1t was resolved that the
amount should be raised before the annual
meeting of the stock holders.
1t is hoped, therefore, II there are other
friends who are in sympathy with the enter
prise, that :hey Will aid in raising the neces-
sary additional s27,OcO.

Hard on Charleston.

1t seems that the law requires the register
ed voter of South Carolina to pay his poll tax
six months before the General Election.
This law will bear hard on Charleston.
While the News and Courier has never been
backward about reminding country people Of
the city's vast wealth. on which fact to base
claim for concessions, we believe 1t Is true
that there were more poll tax dodgers in
Charleston than in any other five counties In
the State. The Reform Legislature seems to
have had very little respect for our metropol-
itan city. The city which so often boasts OF
It's large taxes should not have been disfran-
chised because OF the non-pay ment of a tri-
fling poll tax. If Reformers stay in power
much longer Charleston will be denied every
prfvilege-even the poor privilege of lodging
a poll tax. In making hard rules about regis
tration and poll tax an exception ought 10
have been made of Charleston. Reformers
ought to be taught some lessons OF respect lor
Charleston. This vulgar thing of requiring
Charlestonian to pay poll tax is simply out
rageous, and may be intended as a trlck oy
which good and loyal Conservative tax doue'
ers may be knocked out. Reformers are very
cunning, but they do not sometimes reearo
the long observed courteses and amehlIles lo-
ward The best people-and the richest city I'D
the State.

Facts and Law.

Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the CONTRARY are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions
from year to year.
Any person who receives a newspa-
per and makes use of it, whether he
has ordered it or not, is considered a
subscriber.
1t is common law existing in every
State that any person or persons receiv-
ing any articles, or and making use
of same, is liable for payment.
The law does not recognize DIsSATIS-
FACTION as an excuse for non-payment
of the subscription price of any book
or newspaper.
Notice to the publisher that papers
are no longer wanted, and will not
bel paid for, does not relieve the
subscriber from the responsibility
until the full amount of the yearly
subscription is paid.
Failure to receive copy of news
paper, without fault of publisher, is no
ground for refusing payment of sub
scription. The liability runs to the
end of the subscription period.

We believe that 1t was the Psalmlst who
sang new song unto the Lord, and IN doing
honor to him the people were enjoined to
play skilfullly with loud noise.
In like manner our opera troupe sang the
old song of the Pirates of PenZance, and de-
lighted our people with the beauty and sweet
ness OF the loud noise which greeted the ears
of admiring spectators and loving friends.
Better music and sweeter songs have not
greeted the ears Of the sons Of men since the
morning stars sang together.
The tableau of the female actors presented
q scene Of rare beauty and loveliness, which
was delightful to behold, and the male actors
were manly and commanding in appearance.
The chief singers on the female side Of the
stage were Miss Hesther, the beautiful, accom-
plished and talented teacher OF music In our
II Ugh School, who was we'll susta iued by Mrs.
DuPre, Miss McClung, Miss Corrie, Miss Bes-

The gentlemen were led by Prof. Bailey,
Messrs. w. w. Bradley, James Cochran, VIII
Hill, and others OF our best young gentlemen,
and better singing was never heard from any
body. The acting OF Mr.. Dargan was superb.
The play was gone through with without
blunder or hesitation. Every one knew his
part, and all acted well.

To Bolt Oh Not to Bolt.

There has been some talk of deserting the
Democratic party, If certain principles were
not laid down in the platform.
The Press and Banner is not the keeper
any mans conscience, except that of the edi-
tor.
Speaking for this paper, we would say that
we have never voted any other ticket than
the Democratic ticket. We have always re
fused to vote for any Bolter. Deserter, or 1nde-
pendent, and we expect to continue TO do the
same.
We will not vote for any one who does not
come before the people as regular organized
Democrat, and we will be very sorry If any Of
our friends put themselves outside the Demo-
cratic party. and consequently in position
where We cannot support them.
1t has heretofore been considered reprehen-
sible for white man to desert his political
party, and in the past such men as proposed
to lead an Independent ticket, have generally
committed political suicide, and lost the re-
spect Of their fellow-citizens by landing in
the ranks Of the negroes.
This newspaper will support no bolter, how
ever specious his pretext.

An Alleged Temperance Paper.

We have before US the first copy of The Cos.
pei Temperance Union, published in this city,
the object of which is the Suppression Of the
liquor trafic-as carried on by the State all.
thorities. The State Dispensay is regarded by
lowing are officers:
DR.. D. l.. Boozer, President.
+. H. Hyatt, Treasurer.
t. LaMotte, Secretary.
C. d. Stanley, Chairman State Executive
Committee.
State Organizer, Rev. l.. L. Abbott.
1t will be published monthly. Price 25 cents
year.
We know nothing al all of the paper, but
don't like the connection Of the word "Gos-
pei" with anything which has for its purpose
the opening of the bars, or the closing of the
dispensary, whereby liquor would become
free, and the floodgates OF sin would be
thrown wide open.
We don't like TO see the word Gospel" used
TO advance political interests.
We have no doubt at all that the "Gospel
Temperate Union" would be glad to see the
dispensaries closed.
We have little doubt that the promoters OF
the new paper are irreconcilably opposed 10
the State administration.
Aside from political reasons we do not see
how any sane man can be In favor OF BRING
ing on a condition Of free liquor.
The editor OF the Press and Banner has been
temperance man all his life. and if he ever
failed to give liquor blow when the oppor'
tunity offered we have forgotten the fact, but
we have no sympathy with any alleged tenn
perance paper which would close the dispen'
sares and thus necessarily flood the country
with liquor and fill the land with drunkards
The association Of the word Gospel" with 9
movement which Is backed by political
hatred and supported by the liquor element
is enough to damn II in the eyes of the peo
pie who love an open manly fight, rather than
sailing under the assumed garb Of religion.

We ask attention to the notice, requ esting

jects are good, and should commend the or
ganization to the favorable consideration Of
patriotic women everywhere. Such organi
cations not only commemorate deeds of the
distinguished dead, but add lustre and honor
TO the fame and glory of the living. To honor
the dead is one Of the highest evidences OF
the best and truest civilization. To crafty
the noblest desires of the living Is the highest
to the inherent ambition TO be
respected by ones neighbors while giving
merIted praise and honor to the heroic dead

Differs In Opinion.
Editor Press and Banner:
Yours Is good newspaper Whlch mas
large number of readers. Your editorial COM
ments, generally good. are always forcibly
written and calculated to do goOd or the re-
verse to subject discussed.
This is preliminary TO few words as TO
your position, frequently announced OF late,
in regard TO Christian missionaries. In re-
cent issue, referring to the persecution OF DR..
Diaz, the Baptist missionary in Cuba, you say,
"For our own part, we have very little sym
pathy for Missionaries who go abroad trying
TO force their religion on All unwilling peo-
ple."
The phrase "force their religion, &C., is un-
Just to the Christian people, especially 10 the
Ba ptist who under many trials have preached
and practiced religious freedom. n modern
times l don't think any of the Protestants
have tried to force their religion on anybody;
but all have tried to pursuade the unbeileVer
to accept Christ. And this they wi u continue
to do, regardless OF the cost in blood and treas.
ure, simply because they are Christians and
have been so ordered by the Great Captain OF
their salvation.
Now, in all kindness and good will, let me
ask you to refer TO your library ana read
Mark l6:l5 before you write another article on
the subject of Foreign Missions, or II you
have time, read the whole chapter or the
whole book, and | think you will conclude
that the Christian people are obeying orders
and II a mistake has been made the book is
responsible. "A.

Why Not Turn on the Light

Public officials should make an accounting
of their actings and doings. Having nothing
to conceal from the public there is no good
reason why a statement Of the expenditures
of the town should not be published. People
who are as heavily taxed as our people are
should know where their money goes, and
they have a right to know whether 1t Is
wisely or unwisely spent.

not resting from duty, but finding

Divine patience is one of the great
needs of the human soul. Witout it
religious enjoyment is so often inter
rupted, broken up, and destroyed. The
patience of Christ to bear with human
inflrmities, to endure misrepresenta-

ton Of even our enemies, to work
and wait despite disappointments and
failures, this is the great need in this
world wrecked by sin.
