why They WERE FAVORED
That Is an Inquiry Before the
Grand Jury Concerning
Morgan & Co.
Their Bid for Heating the Mission
High School Acc5 pied Though
1t Was Highest.

The Grand Jury on Friday showed an
active interest in Morgan & Co.'s contract
for heating the new Mission High School.
There were several bids for the work and
Morgan & Co.'S was the highest. Nor
gan & Co 5 plans conflict with the plans OF
the architect and necessitate remodeling
OF the latter, which adds several thousand
dollars to the cost of the building. Not
w;thstanding this fact, together with that
other that their bid of $9496 was consider.
ably above that of the next highest bid

The Daily Register.

The Columbia Reslgter is now published
every day in the week. The Monday edition
was commenced last Monday, September 9Th.
The Register still lives and seems TO prosper,
despite the fact of the persecution. Recently
Senator Tillman in bis speeches spoke disre
spectfully of the press, without exception
and not so long ago he went out Of his way
to give the Register specifically dig. The
Senator will no doubt change his tune In the
coming campaign which will test bis strength
before the people. He will likely learn BY
that time that the newspapers are OF some
force, and he will not be so anxious to incul
their displeasure. If the Senator had been
careful TO notice the effect on his audience al
Abbevile when he assailed the newspapers
he would have perceived that the people are
now of different frame Of mind from tha
Of lS90-'92 81.
The Register is q good paper, and need moi
be annoyed by Senator Tillman's animosity
II the Register will just bide Its time it will
find the Senator at least willing to be friendly
The Press and Banner knows by experience
that persecution is annoying, but 1t Is mol
very harmful. The fact Is, the boycott o
this newspaper resulted in greater good to US
than any other single occurrence in the his
tory Of the paper. The Register has more tc
fear from its "far away" appearance than any
ill-mannered talk Of Tillman.
II that paper will devote Its editorials to
current matters about which the people are
thinking, and will have less to say about
"Blue-Bloods" than 1t has to say Of farmers
in this country 1t will be stronger with the
people. The yeomanry of the country are
loyal supporters OF the Register, and we are
at q loss to know the motive of the paper in
always talking of "Blue.Bloods,' instead o
the farmers and their interests: The Regis.
ter is good paper and deserves we'll at the
hands Of the people. We trusts its new ven
ture may be as profitable TO the owner as II
" i'll be pleasant 10 its subscribers.

Rrirht PrOsDects.

The business outlook for Abbeville was nev-
er better than at present. AS will be seen in
this weeks paper and in future issues Of the
Press and Banner, the merchants are laying
In large stocks of goods, and they solicit your
patronage when in quest of goods of any
kind. While all the merchants of Abbeville
are good, and while each and all have good
stocks of goods, some of them are specially
desirous OF receiving trade from the readers
of the Press and Banner, and it is to be hoped
that those merchants who invite you to their
stores may receive consideration. Don't send
off to buy goods. Buy them at home. 1t will
be TO your interest TO do SO. II is better to
trade with your neighbor, who is trustworthy.
than to send your money to stranger In a
distant city, who may care more for his own
interest than for your welfare. Let every citi-
zen Of Abbeville spend his money at home.
The town Is full Of most excellent merchants
who have gone into business for the express
purpose OF supplying home folk with the
needed articles. Let US be community of
friends with a common interest, and let all
give q helping hand to the growth Of our
prosperous little city.

Let tho Little Fellows Drop Down Out
of Sight.

When legislators offend the press OF the
state by unjust laws the best thing for the
press TO do is to convince the people OF the
fact that they are un worthy Of seats in the
General Assembly. Instead of trying to argue
with such men as struck at the printers In
the Peanut Legislature OF 1891 tteir inabtl-
ity to legislate for the people should be made
known. when the people will certainly NIL
their places with better men.
Few men who have arrayed the press of
the State against them have ever gained
future political pre!erment. Ifthe press saw
fit to resent their grievance such short
sighted picayunish politicians generally
dropped down out OF sight in short order.
No politician that has the sense he was born
with will voluntarily seek the i'll will Of the
press. The press is not only generally right,
but 1t is often able to punish It's enemies as
we'll as to reward its friends.
The South Carolina State Press Association
Is therefore wasting its time, as an association
In attempting to argue with small men. The
better way is for each paper to take care OF
It's friends, while letting the public take care
Of its enemies.
Newspapers and dogs are bad things to foo
likely to 60 to the bottom, where he Will be
out Of sight and where he will soon be for
gotten.
Little fellows that can do nothing better
than cut other peoples pay while taking care
of their own salary are not specially lifted FOR
legislators. If therefore. the newspapers
would ignore them at times, and give them
a little touch at other times, their political
enemies wonld soon loss their precar ious
hold Oh public favor.
AS rule the newspapers stand as
we'll before the people as do the politicians,
and it is something very unusual for a poll
tician who is worthy of the name, to 20 out
of his way to fight the newspapers. The news
papers are valuable friends, and as enemies
they are not TO be desired.
A little judicious fighting of enemies is bet
ter than crawling on our stomachs TO little
men who cannot fill the places they hold. II
the press had proper respect for itself the
little meanness of the legislators in 1894 will
be righted, or else the little fellows will drop
down out of sight.
The legislature of 1894, as a rule, was no
doubt composed of the poorest representa-
tives that ever sat in a General Assembly.
They thought much Of their own salary, and
tried TO cut the pay OF everybody else. This
they seemed to think, the chief business of
statesman.
We have very little doubt that more In
telligent legislature will rectify the wrongs
pei petrated by the peanut crowd.
Let the local press note the votes OF their
representatives, and If this legislature does
not do the proper thing by the public in all
questions of Importance. why let the printers
say nothing Of their own grievance, but lei
them avail themselves OF the opportunity for
mics.

Liquor and Cotton Mills.

Several years ago about one thousand IL
quor dealers and their clerks. numbering in
all about five thousand persons, were thrown
out Of employment, and great lamen tation
then went up by the friends of the saloon
Since then the State has propered as 1t never
prospered before.
Drunkenness has been reduced, and the
greatest activity in all manufacturing lines
Is apparent everywhere.
South Carolina is the only State which ha 6
a dispensary law, and South Carolina has
built more cotton mills than any barroom
State in the South.
At Abbeville, for instance, instead OF hal
dozen barrooms with incidental drunkenness
we have a fine cotton mill, that gives honest
employment to worthy people.
The same may be said of many communi-
ties. Even in the grand old city by the sea
where there is still great demand for liquor
the old closeddown factory has been opened.
Busy hands and turning wheels give profta-
BILE employment to steady labor.

FOREIGN Advertising.

The subjects of "foreign advertising" and
"preferred space" have attracted the attention
Of newspaper men in this State for many
years.
About fifteen years ago The Press and Ban :.
ner solved these questions in a way which
has been entirely satisfactory to this office.
"Foreign advertising" nine times out OF
ten, means the vulgar advertising of patent
medicines.
Nine times out OF ten "pre ferred space"
means the giving of these vulgar advertls.
ments the best and most conspicuous places
in the paper.
Nine times out of ten the patent medi.
cines may be set down as cheats or frauds upon
the public.
In no case with which we are acquainted
have these vulgar frauds ever offered fair
price for the space that they occupied.
The reduction of the moral standard Of this
newspaper to the level Of medical almanac,
was thought to be not only injurious to the
business Interests OF the paper, but was ofen-
sive to the better class OF people. For these
reasons, this newspaper took all such ads out
Of the paper, and since then we have admitted
none Of this sort to the column OF the Press
and Banner. For fifteen years the face OF
the paper has not been blurred or blotted by
the advertisement Of these palpable frauds.
The result has been most satisfactory In
two ways. We feel that our paper Is better
deserving of public respect, and we know
that we have prospered from business
standpoint as we never prospered before.
Our advertising customers are not forced to
take place which Is subordlna to the vul-
gar medical advertisement
While we publish with pleasure many
reading notices for our home advertisers,
yet we publish no reading notice OF medi-
clnes.
The Press and Banner has no advise TO give
to any body. We merely state our eX perience.
1t may be interesting to people who yearn
after "forelgn advertising" to know that such
advertising Is generally, II not always, meas
ured in the type of the copy, which occupies
about half the space that is taken up in the
average country paper.
1t may be also interesting for the people
generally to know that for small type the pa.
per is not allowed over So an inch by the year
for preferred space-a rate that would starve
| an honest manor about one-balf that is usu-
ally charged local advertisers for space that
must be occupied in rear of the foreign ad-
vertisement. The reader will observe In look
ing over the country papers that many of
them give the best position to foreign ads, for
which the editor gets next to no price at ALL
