Would Put Coin In Circulation,

Would Put Coin in Circulation.
Supervisor Devaney- The local labor
question can be solved at once for time
at least by beginning and pushing with
necessary vigor the work upon the new
Postoffice building, for large force of
skilled and unskilled workmen must be
employed and their employment would
cause large amount of money to be
placed in circulation. California has Jared
poorly at the hands of the General Gov
ernment-San francisco conspicuously,
and Oakland has not been treated as it
ought to have been. This is the time to
do the work without delay. 1 will vote in
the board in favor of calling attention to
this matter.

A CRYING Necessity.

Chief of the Fire Department Sullivan
OF course there is need now for the new
Postoffice building, and there has been a
CRYING necessity for it during long lime
ever since the site was purchased by the
Government. The earlier the work is done
the better.

Alleged Statesmen.

The alleged statesmen who now n~!srepre-
sent the best interests Of the Southern States
in Congress have fought the tariff legislation
most successfully. They fought 1t 80 valiant
~, and 80 long talked like blind idiots about
principle, that the Northern Republicans
nave secured all the benefits OF protection
while our Representatives got not a single
plum for tn eir section Of the country.
II our Representatives in Congress have not
lone all that they could TO injure the South
we are totally and absolutely blinde TO the
situation.
Protection may be Q very wicked thing
and we do not say that 1t is not-but II 1t be
the settled policy of the government to levy
q protective tariff. then the burdens and bene.
its should apply to every part Of the country.
As the law now stands we believe the North
gets all the advantages while the South must
pay and get none Of the advantages.
The levying OF a tariff, or the reduction OF
the expenditures, was a necessity.
The combined efforts Of our Democratic
statesmen have completely shut off the South
from all benefits to be derived from the tariff,
while we must pay as much as the rest OF the
country.
Nc sort Of argument, and no sort OF sophis.
try will likely excuse our Congressman for
their lack of tact and influence In passing q
most important law
They secured nothing. They sat like bumps
on a log, and literally did nothing for their
constituents.
No cotton tax; no free bagging and ties
but plenty OF nothing for our benefit.

Where Does He Stand /?

1t is reported that Senator McLaurin is op.
posed to the dispensary law.
Viewed from the standpoint of the Press
and Banner, this newspaper would support
no man for any political office who would IA
vor the reorganization Of the old bsr-rooms.
or who would cripple tae enforcement Of the
dispensary law.
Until we heard that Senator McLaurin was
opposed to the dlspensary law. We were in
clined to vote for him, but II he fails to clear
up his position on this matter when he comes
TO Abbeville, this newspaper cannot support
hin. We would oppose the best man that
ever lived If he would by his vote food this
country with liquor and put the saloon men
IN charge OF the sobriety and morals OF this
State.
The tariff question is as nothing, when com
posed to the effort TO put.the Christian civil
cation of this country under the heel OF the
Italian liquor men. when they, In c~onjuno-
ton with street arabs and guttersnipes might
assert that they were the State, and that the
morality and conscientious convictions OF
Christian men, must be subordinated to their
will, whereby they might make money in de.
bauching our men and boys.
Does Senator McLaurin propose to repre-.
sent intemperance, or the moral element O,
the State? Let him answer.

To Stop Lynchfng.

A large meeting OF colored people in Column
bia recently passed a long string OF resolu-
lions asking the Governors Intervention to
saw members OF their race from lynching.
But there was never a word OF condemnation
for the cause OF lynching. The trend OF the
resolutions seemed to be in excuse or pallia.
ton OF the crime OF assault on women. The
authors OF the resolutions want the criminals
to have a chance OF escape In the Courts.
The Governor is powerless 10 stop the
lynching of negro men who lay violent hands
on white women. No one has yet committed
that crime and lived, and we presume that no
future offender will be more lucky than his
predecessors.
In the negroes themselves alone lies the
power Of arresting the work Of those who
mete out Of justice to criminals who assault
women
If the negro leaders would use proper ef-
fort, 1t Is not unlikely that they could induce
their young men 10 refrain from violence.
If they refrain from violence all lynchings
would cease.
But violence begets violence, and when a
mar seeks to use force against those who are
less powerful, outraged justice will strike
down the perpetrator OF crime.
To stop the lynching OF negroes Is just as
easy as falling off a log. The negroes, and
not the Governor, have the power. The reso-
lutions OF the Columbia negroes may en-
bolden evil hearts. II so, their crime will
surely be punished.

SimontOn's Dispensary Decision.

Let the friends of temperance stand fast to
their colors, despite the effort Of Judge simon
ton to kill the dlspensary. The man Of prin-
ciple should not desert his cause when trouble
comes.
The dispensary is the solution Of the liquor
question, as is evidenced by the thousand ef-
forts OF the liquor men to defeat 1t and break
1t down.
The death of the dispensary has been an
nounced almost weekly for the last year or
two, but II this editor Is a judge OF small mat
ters the dispensary has more lives than a cat,
and is still a very live corpse. 1t will be here
for many a day. II the officers OF the State
and the members Of the Legislature do not
desert the people, they can devise the ways
and means for enforcing the law. Let the peo-
pie watch the action Of their public servants.
If they are unfaithful TO their trusts, then
let them put In better men next time.

Let Them Speak Out.

The Senatorial candidates will address this
people on Friday of next week, August 9Th.
Whether Intentional or not, 1t seems tina
there has been an over looking of the all.im
portant question OF the dispensary.
It will be we'll for our people TO learn def.
nitely where every candidate stands.
The Press and Banner believes that no man
who would flood this country with liquor is a
ut representative OF the moral and temperate
element of Abbeville county.
The dispensary Is the best solution OF the
liquor question, and We think this people
should vote for no man who does not endorse
the law, fully and unequivocally.
The editor of the Press and Banner engaged
in the warfare against liquor from the days OF
his earliest youth, aud he would now support
no man who favors giving foreigners or others
the right 10 debauch and ruin our best men.
The Christian who votes for liquor, may
in that act, r%enounce his profession OF faith
In the doctrine OF the religion which be
claims to have.
Let no friend Of liquor get the vote of Able
Vile county.
Let them stand for principle even If the
personality Of the candidate is Objectionable
Let the voter not desert the ranks of the
temperance people to support any man who
would for money put the bottle to a weak
brothers mouth.

The Bible Society.

The Annual Meeting of the Bible Society
takes place today In the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church OF this city. Prof. NOEL
roy will deliver the essay, and DR.. Clifton will
give the m
The Executive Committee meets at half
past ten o'clock in the Office Of l.. w. Perrin,
Esq.
At eleven the exercises will begin in the
church.
For many years our people have looked for
ward to the annual meetings OF this Society
with great pleasure. That meeting wss to US
somewhat like the commencement to the
Due West people; but Of late years the inter-
est in the meetings OF the Society has been
not so great as formerly.
The exercises nave been too long, and too
tiresome to bold the people together.
If the essay and sermon are short, and we
are relieved of the wearisome recital OF sta
tistics by the agent, the exercises could be
shortened, and thus made so interesting that
our people would remain during the whole
session of the Bible Society.
Then, let those appointed to conduct the
services have q little mercy on the people
and not disperse the audience before the bust
ness Of the Society has been commenced.
: The annual meeting OF the Bible Society
should be the best and most pleasant meeting
Of the year. Remember. hat the weather Is
hot, and that three hours In the heated term
Is beyond the possibility Of mortal endur-
ance.
The service might be shortened by leaving
all compliments to the Lord out Of the prayer.
In making q requlsition on him for favors
and benefits 1t is not necessary 10 itemize a
bill OF all the particular things that may be
desired. The Lord Is presumed to know
some things and will take other things for
granted. Don't try to fistter the Lord. He
doesn't care for the fulsome praise which may
come from us. Simply ask him TO cooperate
with us in our efforts to serve him better.
DON ask him to do all the good works, and
don't ask him to give US everything in sight,
: and then as a saving clause, add: 20 Lord,
II. we have forgotten to ask for anything
please add the omitted articles to the bill or
requisition which we have just made upon
they bounty, and we will be just as much
obliged to you as If We had specifically asked
for them."
A short prayer, in the right spirit, will
likely secure as nan of the good gifts and
'graces,. as can be had by making out an
temized statement Of all the things that we
would like for the Lord TO do for US, while we
do nothing for him.

In fact, as the most OF our road beds In this
County are stiff clay, the next best thing to
Macadamizing Is 10 make as liberal use OF

stration OF what good roads mean. our people

"STOP MY PAPER"
A Sensible Editorial From the News
and Courier.

and Courier.
The Columbia Register published a letter
yesterday from one OF its indigant subscribers
at Graniteville, Aiken County, saying:
"Sir: Please stop my paper you are too
out to Gonzales, McLaurln, Ellerbe. ct al"
There was more OF 1t. but this is enough to
show the animus OF the water. He was dis
cause The Register does not happen to be a
partisan on his side at this time. He charges
cowardice and dishonesty. He "guesses" that
IL has sold out to an impossible combination,
Please stop my paper" And bis paper was
stopped forthwith and a bill for arrearages
was forwarded to him by the first mail.
This short of things Is familiar TO newspaper
men all over the country. We doubt that
some time In It's career, received q commune
cation OF like character, II is one OF the in
cidents OF the business, and there Is no way to
as long as men wish to use the newspapers for
their own political or selfish purposes, There
is no greater intolerance OF public opinion,
than the man who falls out with a
with him. 1t may have agreed With
him for years on every public and social
question, and printed his views" and exalted
bis horn, but an unlucky day comes when In
to what he thinks and feels, and the next post
will bring a hot MESSAGE sir; Stop my pa
per-" and the illusion is gone. All the faith
full work and friendship OF q lifetime, all the
feeling and sentiment, all the concessions and
conditions that have been made, are lost. II
Is very amusing to q philosopher who takes
mankind as he finds 1t, but 1t is not very
creditable 10 mankind.
The observant newspaper man sees The
world at Its best and worst. He has seen
public men and public movements come and
60. Wearing his life out in the service OF
others, he has found them ever ready TO take
the praise, but never prepared TO share the
fs ult or blame. He sits up at night TO eulogize
the virtues and greatness OF some distinguish
ed sutton for public favor, and in the wild
hurrah over the battle fought and victory
won he Is kept In the rear with the baggage
wagons. Hespends his time and money In
promoting the career Of this, that or the other
m~an-Senator, Judge, public man and private
citizen-and In a moment, when he felt that
his duty 10 the public require d him to take is
sue with the apple OF his eye. SO TO speak, he
Is brought up short with the sentence: 'Sir:
Stop my paper"
In the light OF experience. which we have
all at some time felt, 1t Is important that
newspapers should have no %entangling al
liances. OF course, they will be charged with
cowardice and dishonesty-that Is TO be ex.
pected but at least they should not be cow
ardly or dishonest. and this they need not be
and are not as we know them There Is a law
which Furnishes newspapers for l~ibelling men
II would be only fair II there should be q law
10 punish men for libelling newspapers.
