Death OF Rev. John l.. Hemphill.


General r. R. Hemphill received telegram
last Monday announcing the death Of his
brother Rev. John L. Hemphill, Of Moreland,
Georgia. which sad event occurred at two
O'Clock Of that morning. The intelligence OF
his death was surprise, and the sudden end.
ing Of useful life was shock to bis relatives
and friends.
The deceased was q native OF Abbeville
county, having been born at Lower Long
Cane, about sixty.two years ago, while his IA
ther, Rev. w. r. Hemphill, was pastor Of that
congregation. His father moved to Due West
In 1S49, and the deceased received collegiate
education in ,Erskine College. For many
years he has been an active and useful mem.
ber OF the Associate Reformed Synod. and at
the time Of bis death was the beloved pastor
Of the Associate Reformed church at More
land.
: His younger brothers. General r. r. Hemp.
hill Of the Abbeville Medium and Mr.. J. G.
Hemphill Of the News and Courier, survive
him.
At the outbreak Of the Confederate war he
volunteered into the service Of his country,
and in that service he discharged every duty
until he was captured. He remained a pris-
oner, for nineteen months, returning home
suffering and broken in health.
The Ill effeots Of his prison life, fingered
with him to the last, though 1t is thought the
injury which resulted from his imprison-
ment, was not the immediate cause Of his
death.
Mr.. M. T. Coleman and Miss Rachel Hemp.
hill Of this city attended the funeral at More
land.

Opposed to Factories.

Reference having been made by the Green.
willie News to the fact that we were once op.
posed to factories, we would say that In the
past we were opposed to factories being built
In Abbevllle, and no factories were then
built. Since then we changed our midland
a big factory has been built. Every dollar Of
the money has been paid.
Now, We are not foolish enough to believe
that our opposition to factories in the past
prevented the building OF q factory in Abbe-
VILE at that time. Neither are we crazy
enough TO believe that our advocacy Of the
factory caused the building Of our cotton
mill.
We were just as sincere In our opposition to
factories, as we are now jealous in the work
OF constructing the existing mill. Only
dead men and fools are consistent, In never
learning anything.
We speak according to the lights before Us
at the time. reserving at all times the right to
change our mind next week-if we see that
We are In error.
Some OF the wisest and best men that South
Carolina ever produced have changed their
minds, and we are not at all sensitive in be-.
ing reminded OF our change OF sentiment on
the subject OF factories. We now believe fac
tories are blessing to Thousands Of our peo-
pie.

Utter FaiIure-the Board OF Control
VindicAted

Utter FsiIure-the Board OF Control
Vindicated.
II the efforts Of the Mr.. Outz to injure the
been q failure, then We do not understand
the situation.
II the suit OF Mr.. Douthit has not clearly
proved the correctness Of the action OF the
Board OF Control In dismisslng b i'm, we do
not know how the fact could be proved.
Mr.. Outz furnishes proof that office clerks
should be relieved OF their jobs as soon as the
heads Of departments are changed. Clerks,
like public officials. when continued long In
Office, too often think they become endowed
with proprietary rights to the places or offices
which they hold. II the Board of Control
had changed their clerks every two years,
that body would not have been subjected to
the necessity Of proving error In the charges
which Mr.. Outz makes because he has lost the
job which he held for seven years, and posi-
bly, because he thought the office belonged to
him.
The Board did right In Diminishing Mr.. Dou-
thit, and public opinion will thoroughly en-
dorse the action or the Board in getting rid OF
man who disregarded Instructions, and
whose conduct, II tolerated, would have
brought reproach upon the institution.
AS 1t is, the Dispensary and the Board OF
Control have been thoroughly vindicateo.
When public officers refuse to tolerate dis
obedience on the part OF their subordinaten
and when they require that these subordi-
mates shall deal honestly with the public, the
Board Of Control have nothing to fear from
either slander or persecution. They will
come out without the smell OF fire on their
garments.

The Cotton CrOD.

The all.absorbing question everywhere Is
the size Of the cotton crop. The farmer Is In.
terestsd equally with the cotton mills. In
commercial circles 1t seems that dealers In
the manufactured goods are uncertain. They
take reports Of short crop with distrust. and
are exceedingly cautious In making sales.
The Press and Banner at first was disposed
to doubt the correctness Of reports Of short
crops. We have been hearing OF short crops
all our life. and we have seldom seen great
falling off in the crop, but it seems that the
crop in this section in many neighborhoods
Is very short, while in other sections fair
crop has been made.
As for the total crop We place reliance in
the government report. and 1t puts the crop
at about five.eighths OF a full crop.
The total estimate by those who try to be
informed places the crop not higher than
eleven million bales. and not much above
nine million bales. We think the latter fig.
ure nearer correct.
What the effect on the price will be Is not
for as to say. There are some things that we
do not know.

IL ft Scandal or Slander ?


. The newspapers have published another
volume OF the dispensary affairs. The turn.
ing of Of Outz furnished him a pretext for
making various charges against the manage.
ment Of the dispensary, and the effort to ex-
pose q scandal looks to us very much like an
effort to originate slander against those In
charge Of the institution.
Any wholesale charge that all those who
have been connected with the dispensary has
not been proven.
Any effort to do away with the State dis
pensary will not be accepted by those who op-
pose return TO the bar.room system.
The dispensary law 10 perhaps better en-.
forced than any other liquor law was en-.
forced for the simple reason that its active
enemies keep constant watch on its man.
sgement. The officers know that II there is
the slightest deviation from an observance ol
the law. they will be held up to public con.
tempt. even II their action is not entirely
misinterpreted.
Knowing the existing watchfulness OF the
opponents OF the law, the friends of the law
have no reason to fear that 1t will not be care
fully enforced.
Not 80 with Prohibitionists. They are too
apt to think that they have discharged their
duty when the law is put upon the statute
books. Temperance people-Prohibitionis
in the past have declined to hunt up VIC
laters Of the law. They think that 1t is none
Of their business, but is the business Of the
officers Of the law to ferret out violaters Of
the law.
But those who are opposed to the dspen.
sary, and the restrictions which 1t places up
on the sale Of liquor. appear to be delighted
in seeing that the officers obey the law.
These facts should commend the dispensary
law to the good opinion Of the people.

We Ought Not to Have SpOk ell.

Without any reference to the justice or in.
justice Of our remarks last week desiring
friendly feeling between Charleston and the
up.country, we regret having published IT.
We are always sorry to be disagreeable, and
while we feel that we have reason for writing
last weeks article, 1t would perhaps have
been better not to express desire for con-
dition different from that which now exists
But we really wish for cordial feeling be-
tween all mankind, and Charleston, too
Charleston is rich, and Its older citizens may
we'll afford TO rest upon their Iaurels, indiffer.
ent to the sentiment and feeling OF those
around them, but there is younger
Charleston and younger up-country
which will sooner or later come TO the
front, and the younger Charleston may make
busy place. that will then be in friendly
touch with all of US who remain.

White Front, on the Corner.
The Cotton Market.

We have heard some complaint about the
price which Is being paid for cotton in this
city. We do not know II there is any ground
for It, but we are inclined to believe there is
not Abbeville has a number OF merchan ts
who are always ready for good bargain In
so staple an article as cotton. and in town
there Is perhaps half dozen gentlemen whose
business 1t is to buy cotton. They are all
men OF excellent judgment, and each Of them
has all the necessary capital to buy great
stacks of cotton.
Even II our merchants could buy cotton
without loss, their interest and their public
spirit would prompt them to see that thei;
customers get fair price for cotton.
This newspaper Is under the impression
that merchants In former years paid their
lienors a most liberal price when settling
bills for goods which were charged at big
profits. They then thought, we believe, II
they made from from twenty five to fifty per
sent. on their goods, that they could afford 10
give their customers not only the market
price, but figure above the cash price.
In view of the circumstances We do not
believe that cotton Is sold lower here than
elsewhere. Our merchants know the impor-
tance Of inducing cotton to market, and
they know that without cotton there will be
no money with which to buy goods. Men
buy their goods when they sell their cotton,
and they sometimes pay their debts when
they sell cotton.
Knowing the vital Importance OF drawing
trade to town, and knowing that our mer-
chants are wide-awake to their own interests,
we will have to have positive proof before we
believe that any merchant would allow the
business Interests Of the place to lsnguish
from lack Of fair cotton market.
But we are not worried. Abbeville has
had enemies from abroad at home, but the
old town is still here doing business at the
old stand. Nobody could make us believe
that our merchants will allow cotton to 60
away from here on account Of prices. Able.
vile merchants pay the farmer as much as
anybody, and they sell goods down at rock
bottom prices. No better place than Abbe.
Vile.

Atlanta's Show.

Several Of our citizens went to Atlanta last
week TO see the Fair and other attractions.
AS rule, our people are not enthusiastic
over the exhibition. But as regards numbers
the Fair was great success. One person said
that $4,000 had been raised to push the Fair
that 50 900 was spent in advertising, and 81 900
was spent In cutting down the weeds on the
grounds. These figures, we take 1t, were
merely estimates.

The PriyileKes of the puIpit,

Evangelist Leitch and the Rev. Kelly have

were directed to Editor Hcyt OF the Noun

The preachers and the editor are well

we copy an article from the Noun taineer
which gives his assailant "as good as he

ABOUT EARLY VOTES.

II IS difficult matter 10 explain 70 the
voters why they should always vote in the
morning. No one should put off voting
until the afternoon. 4 fun vote cannot

wait until afternoon to vote. The fuller
the vote the more representative the cleo
ton is. If a man or woman will go to the
polls in the morning and vote the matter
IS off their minds More than that. they
do not have 10 be looked after later in the
day The parties have n man at every
voting place. with a list of the voters.
Every time anyone votes ne is checked
off. IN the afternoon these lists are sized
up and those who have not voted are
rustled out. IF a great many have not
voted. it Is impossible TO send for them.
things become confused the committees
ratified and a genera pandemonium reigns.
And then again. by voting early all
chances Of losing the vote are avoided.
II frequently happens that men and wom-
en- who wait until afternoon to vote are
called away, or have some duty to per-
form which keeps them from voting. and
they lose their votes. Then their trouble
Of registration has gone for naught. The
thing 10 do is 10 vote right after break
fast People should vote on their way
down town. At all events they should
have their votes in before noon Voting
early also gives the Judges and clerks a
rest during the afternoon and enables
them 10 count the votes faster when they
get at f. Everyone who IS registered
should vote early.
