Der of people. Every part of the pro-

Death Of Ex.GOv. Flower.

Ex.Gov. Flower, of New York, died sud-
denly a few days ago, Of stomach trouble.
He is the distinguished gentleman for whom
Aboeville at the request of some of the Sea.
board Air Line thorities prepared great
banquet several years ago. The biggest hall
In town was secured and all that the town
could produce was carried to the place and
fixed up in the most elegant style. Various
gentlemen were loaded with big speeches,
tickets were at a premium, and expectation
was on tiptoe. Governor Flower, and a
whole lot Of people like him, were going to
stop over In Abbeville. The hour for the
arrival OF the distinguished soJourners was
postponed several times. until 1t was not
until after midnight on Saturday that the
train pulled up to the depot. Multitudes met
the train, and in the darkness the great
crowd supposed the expected guests were
present. Only q military company came,
with no Governor Flower. The opinion im-
mediately gained currency that the seaboard
authorities had palmed of a practical joke
on the town. But the military company
knew how to dispose OF the solids and liquids.
Some Of them filled their skins 30 full that
they could with difficulty get back to the
train.

VIEWS OF EDITOR CHASE.
A Vermont Editor Writes OF the South,
and Gives Many Expressions.

Editor z. M. Chase, Of the Vermont Vindi-
Gator, published at Lyndon. Vermont, has
been making a tour Of the South for double
purpose. namely: To rest and regain bis
among us that he may from personal obser-
walton learn the true condition Of affairs in
Dixie, and, especially, to be enabled to make
up his mind az TO the negro.
Mr.. Chase ia a spirited writer, and whether
we agree With him or not, we read what he
says with interest. Taken all In all, he sees
things here about as fairly as q man from

equal 10 his own State In civilization and in
painted houses and big barns. or this we
have no complaint. II we went to Vermont.
we have no doubt that we would come back
more In love with South Carolina than ever
before.
Mr.. Chase is accompanied by his pretty
daughter, Miss Jennie Chase, who Ia q happy
hearted young lady and gives evidence OF
ability and womanhood. She comes as com.
panion for her aged father, who suffers from
some Of the infirmities OF age.

South this seems to be strange procedure.

or any other young lady, "a "the GIRL"
Mr. Chase has had a remarkable career. AS

business standpoint, he has made q greater
success than has come TO any printer In this
State.
He is methodical and keeps his books 80
carefully that he can tell exactly what he has
made every year since he has been IN busi.
ness-and he has not been In the business to
find out how little paper he could run the

sldl H. Browne, than of anybody else that we
have seen.
AS regards the negro, we believe he goes
back home knowing. II possible. less of him
than he knew before he came. He judges, for
instance, all negroes by the religious demon
strations which he saw in Rockingham, N.
c., aud this is hardly fair to the better class
of the race. But no one need be surprised at
a strangers views. The difference Of opinion
among white men who have lived among the
negroes from youth to old age are as diver;
gent az possible. No two men agree, and
where there ia no unity opinion. who can
claim to be right? At best, man can ref1ect
only his own opinion, or repeat the opinions
of others. There is no absolute rule or guide.

jump on this paper and attempt 10 say smart
things at the expense OF the Press and Ban.
uer. II occurs to US that their ntterances
are governed more by q sentiment OF un-
kindness than by spirit fairness.
Atany rate, we have no contention with
any man who does not see that the day for
small industries in this country has passed.
Whatever the fact may be, we believe that
IL is next to the impossible for small indus
tries to pay. except such as are organized to
meet the local demand. For instance; as Ice.
laundry, electric lights, and the like.
The Herald and The State think differently.
At worst there was no just provocation for
the exhibition of bad manners.
Since The Herald and The State have sought
to call into question the public spirit and
common business sense Of the Press and Ban.

squarely and fairly how much money they
have contributed to any industry-large or
small.
Until they show that their subscriptions

for their purpose the building up Of their
own towns is equal to the money which the
Press and Banner has put into single
enterprise In Abbeville, we suggest that
they have no right to critlcise this Office on
the subject Of public spirit.
This newspaper has never made boasts Of
its sagacity. its ability, but 1t has said little,
sawed wood, and made some money In q
town which our critics are pleased to desig-
ns te as dead town.
AS to whether 1t is a dead town:
Four years ego this people undertook to In.
vest In q cotton mill an amount OF money
equal to about one.tenth of the entire pro
perty Of the town. That money has been
paid. The editor Of the Press and Banner
contributed his full share.
VIII anybody, who claims to be just or
fair, say that such earnestness on the part
Of any people is evidence Of death?
II Nature has more nobly fashioned the
brains Of our critics, as they seem to think,
then their sense Of propriety, 1t occurs to US,
would prompt them 20 be modest. The
exploitation Of vanity and selfconceit Is not
generally conceded to be an attribute OF great
ness, and that disposition which would dis
parage the honest efforts Of less preten.
tious brother seldom inspires the highest
degree of public respect.

EXPANSION.

Though we break our fathers promise we
have noble duties first;
The traitor to Humanity Is the traitor most
accursed;
Man is more than Constitutions; better rot
beneath the sod,
Than be true TO Church and State while we
are doubly false to God
He's true to God who's true to man; where
ever wrong Is done,
To the humblest and the weakest, meath the
all-beholding sun,
That wrong is also done to us and they are
slaves most base,
Whose love OF right is for themselves, and
not for all their race.
God works for all. Ye cannot hem the hope
Of being free,
With parallels OF latitude, with mountain
range or sea.
as ye will,
From soul to soul, DER all the world, leaps
the electric thrill.

UneXDected.

The News and Courier one day last week
had short editorial notice of the Abbeville
Cotton Mill, which was not at all unfriendly.
We take pleasure in noting any friendly re-
cognition. and would say to our contemporary
that we have every reason to believe that Abb
beville has splendid mill, and that we know
of no reason to doubt It's successful operation.
The mill people have had hard tipe of II
but 1t seems that the way Is clear TO a pros
porous future. While 1t is true that Abbe-
VILE men own only one fourth Of the Capital
Stock, yet, the fact that the mill is clear Of
debt and three -fourths Of the stock Is owned
by expert mill men. or their friends, is assur-
ing.

Inclrability and Vindictiveness

We copy the following paragraph from last
weeks Associate Reformed Presbyterian, and
the Press and Banner is inclined 10 concu in
the wisdom and truthfulness Of the assertions
therein contained:
Forgetting the things that are behind''-
that is q good rule for many, but especially
ever know church quarrel that was any
thing else but evil. They have passed into a
proyerb for their incurability, II not their
vindictiveness. They are 80 common. How
few congregations are entire strangers 10
them. In speaking of one the other day a
friend remarked. "Why, that split has been
there for thirty years." How can a congre-
cation prosper when there are these divisions
There can be no spiritual growth. Christ and
Belial can not dwell together. The spirit of
strife and contention will drive away the
spirit OF religion. No result is more certain,
no disaster Is more deplorable.
