Over-study is reported to have unbalanc-
ed her mind.

MANY EMlGRANTS ROBBED
Police Think They Have the RobbeI
in a Man Sent to Snake Hill.

Recently many complaints have been
made to the police about petty robberies
committed in and about the Central
Railroad depot. The complaints have
been made chiefly by emigrants, bound
for the west.
I Sunday night Special officer Wagner, of
the Railroad, noticed Jacob Sturboch, who
has no home, prowling about among the
travellers. Sturboch was placed under ar
rest as disorderly person. He was taken
to the Gregory street police station, where
he was searched, and several articles,
supposed to have been stolen were found
ON his person.

the prisoner 500, in default of which he
will go to Snake Fill for ninety days.

Bogus Insurance.

Our Hodges correspondent asks US to say
about "bogus Insurance."
This editor is not ortt rdox on insurance by
the State. For this reason we think 1t mat
tiers little whether the great State OF South
Carolina insures with q good company or
with bogus" company. II our respected
friend will examine the records he will see
that the premiums which the State pays are
generally thrown away, and we care little
who gets the money so thrown away.
The State of South Carolina owns hundred
dispen saries, and is richer than any insurance
company. For these reasons the State should
not insure any Of the dispensaries in any
company.
The acknowledged rule among good busi-
ness men is, II they have many risks Of small
com mparative value that rich men and rich
corporatione should not insure any OF them.
If, however, the risk Is single one, involV'
ing the estate, or part OF ones estate, then
he should insure.
If the State of South Carolina would charge
to each OF the dispensaries small per
cent. of the premiums, the State treas
urer would then have enough cash in hand
to pay any trifling loss that might occur.
And could do so at perhaps one.ffth the pres
ent cost OF insuring with agents who may
have pull with officials.
If this editor had the power he would for
ever forbid the insurance Of public property
In looking after few dSpensary losses by
fire, we forget the great waste of money on In
surance policies. AS the chances are about
as hundred to one we are perfectly indiffer-
ent as to whether the State officers insure
with solvent companies or bogus concerns.
The money is a clear loss any way, and II
may be more charitable to give the money to
the poorer and unk nown pretenders.
While we don't care who gets the money
which is thrown away, we would call the pub
lie officer to account who does the throwing
away of our money.

The Post Office.

While we have no definite Information on
the subject. yet we believe we have good rea-
son to believe that the matter has been settled
for the present 1t now seems that the Repub-
lican leaders from this State, who have the
ear of the Post Office Department at Washing
ton, have concluded to let the matter stand as
IT is. No recommendations for change will
be made. and in the absence Of such recon-.
mendation, the postmaster at Abbeville will
likely remain In position until the close OF
President Mckinley's term.
This settlement of the contest will be emf.
nently satisfactory to our people, except OF
course in the case of the applicants for the
place.
II the Government at Washington had
adopted the rule Of refusing Official favors to
those who were responsible for troubles In
the South, we would have had peace long
ago.
Even II Republicans are to have all the fat
jobs, 1t seems that one family ought not TO
I'LL all the offices forever.

Unreliable Labor.

or all that hes been said of Its unreliability
in the employ Of men who, by their acts, con-
fess that they lack the ability and the tact to
manage labor, we have nothing to say. All
they say is true, but they never acknowledge
squarely that they are themselves to blame
for their unreliability OF the labor. AS mas.
ter, 30 is servant.
We presume it is true OF the negro
that he is the most tractable and most agree.
able laborer on the face of the earth.
No man who could successfully manage la
bor or business should acknowledge his de-
fciency by abusing the negro. He works
cheaper, will live in cheaper houses, and will
put up with less accommodation than any
body. Hewill rise earlier, do more work, and
do 1t more pleasantly than any other laborer,
and then he will submit to being cheated Of
tene- in settlement than any body. And he is
oftener shot in the back, in selfdefense, than
anybody else.

Consider This.

Mr.. Charles P. Hammond says that If the
water of the "Rucker spring" was conveyed
through terra Gotta pipe to the pump, where
1t could run into q reservoir of sufficient size.
that good and pure water could be had at
great saving in expense for lifting water out
OF the artesian well. In few hours each day
theJarge pump could force enough water Into
the tank to supply every needed want.
The Press and Banner is not Informed on
this subject, but we are impressed with the
suggestion. A reservoir above ground could
be built for small cost. and the pipe could
be laid for an equal amount. II such an ar
rangement is practicable the saving Of coal
and other expenses in year would be suffi-
cient to pay for the piping and reservoir. 1t
might be we'll for our water commissioners to
think of this matter, and see II there Is any
thing in Mr.. Hammond's suggestion. We
cannot speak adyisedly.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
Some of Congressman Lntimer's Good
Work.

Representative Latimer ia one OF the few
Southern Con gressnen who has succeeded In
getting the Post Office Department TO use his
District Gs place for trying the free rural de.
livery Of mail. The department, under the
direction OF Congress, has been experiment.
ing for year or two with the subject Of the
free delivery daily Of mail In country COM
mnnities, but the small appropriation made
for the purpose (about $50. 900 year, has been
chiefly expended In other sections Of the
country. The department has at last con-
sented for Mr.. Latimer to name six places
within this Congressional District at which
such service shall be established; and we un.
derstand that he will name Abbeville, Green
wood, Prosperity, Anderson, Eas!ey and Wal
halla as the points, and that the service will
probably cover the country embraced within
radius Of five miles OF the points named.
The carrier will be required to travel at least
twenty miles day In his rounds, andireceive
for his service salary of S400 a year.
u the appropriation available for this SER
vice were divided equally among the Congress
siona Districts of the country, there would
be about 5000 to be expended In each District.
Representative Latiiner has secured 81 400 for
this District-four times what II would be en-
titled to on an equal distribution OF the fund
but this helps TO illustrate how the personal
equation enters into the work OF Congress-
men at Washington.

Thus speaks the Associate Reformed Pres

who we're out Of wood. yet the great mass OF
our people made no complaint. For one OF
two days there was need, and some people
paid high price for load of wood. The

Reunions and Most OF the Old

The Confederate Reunion in Charleston
must be success, for the people of South Car
the brave old veterans. Our people should
esteem 1t great honor TO have the privilege
Of entertaining those men who SO freely laid
their lives on their coun try's altar. Time is
rapidly thinning their ranks, and at every
annual roll call there are some who do not re.
spond-those who have answered "Here' TO
the final roll call on The other shore.
1t matters not that the cause they fought
for was lost, they are Just as dear TO US as II

them that we appreciate their heroism and
that their deedsaof valor are not forgotten.
1t is now nearly thirty-four years since Lee
surrendered at Appomattox, and the young
est soldiers then are Old men now. They
know something about the bitterness OF ad-
hersity and yet they have borne their burden
without complaint. They have shown TO the
world that after having appealed TO the arbi-
trament OF arms they are willing TO abide by
that decision, and In SO doing they have set u
worthy example for future generations.
The fame of the Confederate soldiers WILL
live as long as time itself. We can not add to
their fame but we can honor the grand old
heroes themselves. They have all passed
LIES meridian, and there Is something pa
thetic about their reunions,-they meet and
greetings once more before crossing
the boundaries OF time into the great beyond.
When they come TO Charleston let them
feel that they are the guests OF South Caro-
lima, that we are glad to have them and that
