Home Insurance.

The Greenville News has sensible editorial
on the subject OF fire Insurance. II that ar
ticle and had gone further and treated in the
same way that monumental absorber of the
peoples money for the least possible return.
II would have touched on life insurance. Life
insurance has done more, and Is still doing
more to cripple the people than any other en-
terprise on earth. The enormous increase Of
their capital stocks prove how poor q thing It
Is for the people at the other end OF she line.
But on fire insurance the Abbeville-G Green
wood Fire Association serves US we'll at the
lowest possible cost. Under Treasurer Blake's
excellent management the usefulness OF the
Association Is extending and yearly our peo-
pie are taking advantage Of the cheap and
safe insurance which his company offers. He
has been taking the risks which the old line
companies do not want because they are haz-
ardous. and yet the actual cost OF these haz-
ardoIs risks Is very small indeed as compared
with the safest and least hazardous risks In
the other companies.
Since the Abbeville-Green wood Association
has consented to take city risks. many cit.
izens of Abbeville are transferring their bus
iness TO Mr.. Biake's company. The editor OF
the Press and Banner shows his faith in the
company by insuring with Mr.. Blake any
property that he will take.

Elaborate Calculations.

Mr.. ]. l.. Tribble has made some elaborate
calculations as to the benefit OF the dispen-
sary to the school children. He figures It's
benefits so INFINITELY that each child may
know to cent what it realizes from the dis.
pensary.
Since Mr.. Tribble is public spirited, and
willing TO put himself TO a great deal OF
trouble without personal gain, We hope that
he will pardon us II we ask him to write the
exact facts as to the value OF this people OF
his double-track, ninety-pound rail on the
great railroad which this town gave $1,000 TO
have surveyed.
If Mr.. Tribble knows no more about prohi-
bition, liquor and school funds than he does
about building great railroads, his estimates
are not very valuable.
Mr.. Tribble might publish an itemized
statement OF the way in which our money
was expended. AS long as he refuses to make
an accounting he might we'll afford TO omit
his valuable calculations on the liquor ques.
ton. His figures on the railroad question
would be more interesting TO this community
But We would not embarrass anybody. II
there be good and sufficient reason for no,
turning the light on the itemlzed expense o.
the survey OF the ninety-pound iron. double
track railroad which was to run from no
where by Abbeville TO nowhere, we will urg,
nothing. We only urge publication in cas'
things are all right, and proper to be seer
and understood by all men. We do not wan
to make any unseemly exposures but W,
would like 10 know how such surveys ar,
made. The debt has been saddled on the Eco
pie and they have right to know wher
their money went-if it was properly spent.

CharIestOn's Position.

It is matter OF congrstulation for the peo-
ple of the State, as we'll as for Charleston. that
the old city last week seemed disposed to align
itself with the people In the election OF Gov
ernor. Charleston has done nothing in long
time which will do more to bring about good
feeling between the city and the people than
its vote for McSweaney last Tuesday. Nc
sweeney is the logical candidate. He was a
Charleston boy, and has grown TO be man
in whose success Charleston may rejoice
Mosweeney represents the majority Of the
State and 1t is a pleasure to see the old city
ioin hands with the county in an effort TO up
hold and enforce the best LIQUOR law that we
ever had Let Charleston not be bulldozed
into doing the wrong thing next Tuesday.

II Prohibition a Trojan Horse7

When we reflect on the facts, circumstances
or deductions incident to this campaign we
are led TO doubt whether 1t is Pronloition
against the Dispensary, or whether 1t is Con-
servatism against Reform. "
Weknow that Col. Hoyt was the chairman
OF the old Democratic regime, and we know
that many OF the voters for Prohlolt1on,
irrespective OF their prohibition principles,
cast their ballots for Col. Hoyt and are going
to vote for him again. His supporters. as a
rule are pronounced opponents Of Tillmau.
AS a rule it was Col. Hoyt's friends who
scratched Tillman's name. For instance:
At Magnolia, out OF 20 men who voted for
Hoyt. 10 of them scratched Tillman.
In Abbeville No. l. 81 Of Hoyts votes were
scratches for Tillman.
At tLowndesville 80 Hoyt voters scratched
Tilman.
At Dut West Hoyt's vote was i5. or this
number IS scratched Tillman. Only OF
Gary's voters and the same number of Mo:
: Sweeney's voters, did the same thing.
In Abbeville No. >. Hoyt received s. votes,
35 OF whom scratched Tillman.
A number Of anti-Tlllman votes we're cast
for Gary as a personal compliment to him.
Possibly there were 25 such votes. or this
number, perhaps three-fourths will 60 to
Hoyt next Tuesday.
Allthis hullaballoo about Tillman's scratch
es on account Of bis taking part in this cam
paign amounts to nothing, except wherein
he may have awakened the former political
prejudices. If Tillman was TO live hundred
years, and remain quiet during all that time
without giving further offense, some OF oul
people, If still living, would scratch him.
From the lights before US, we are inclined
TO believe Hoyt's vote Is more becauee Of for
mer political prejudices that existed amonf
the people than to any conviction on tht
. subject Of prohibition. There are no doubt {
few honest and sincere prohibitionists, but !
you take into consideration all the facts, i
will be seen that Hoyt and his strongest sup
porters were not 30 long ago sntl-Tillmanites
One remarkable thing about this prohibition
campaign Is, that the advocates of the license
system, or open bars, are Col. Hoyrs strong
est and most pronounced supporters. AS fal
as We remember his supporters from the
press are, without exception, snti-Tillmau
papers, Irrespective OF their own principles
on the subject Of prohibition.
1t will not be forgotten that COL Hoyt in
vited the support of all who were opposed te
the dlspensary. Opponents of Reform, Of
the eanti.Tillmanites. accepted the invitation
too.

Another Negro Gone to Heaven.

A negro was hanged near Atlanta last Fri.
day after legal conviction Of the charge Of as
sault on woman. The negro confessed his
guilt before the assent bled multitude. But he
said his sins had been forgiven, that he was
going TO beaven, where he hoped to meet the
witnesses TO his execution. The people were
greatly grieved at his departure from earth,
but the anticipated JOY OF meeting him in
heaven at some future time was some CON-
pensation for their immediate loss. Thinking
possibly that the negro might be an usher
and show them to good seat near the great
White Throne, the crowd unanimously con-
sented for the hanging to proceed, and In
thirteen minutes after the drop fell the negro
was safely landed.

Beating Ben.

There are thousands of Conservatives IN
South Carolina who would not vote for Till.
man under any circumstances. And there
are liquor men in all parts Of the State whq
nave not forgiven him for breaking up the
bar-rooms. He and the preachers got into q
tilt. and Tillman invited his enemies to
scratch his name of their tickets at the pri-
mary election. Then some newspapers and
an unenumerated host took up the cry that
Tillman should be "scratched.' Result.
about 1900 scratches. while over 10000 votes
were cast for him. This would indicate that
Tillman has about four times as much polit-
ical strength as the combined influence Of all
his enemies. No man ever won q more sig.
nal victory at any election than Tlllman did
last Tuesday.

Vote Next Tuesday.

Let not the overwhelming vote against pro-
hlbition lull our people into feeling OF secur
ity as TO the result next Tuesday. All the ele
ments which are opposed to the dispensary
q re combined for its overthrow. Iheir candi
date has spoken most harshly OF the law.
Governor McSweeney is friend TO the la"
end has enforced II without friction in al
narts OF the state, although his opponents
oh orye that in Charleston there WAS direlic
ton Of duty.
The opin ion of the Press and Banner is thai
Charleston is able 10 take care OF herself, ano
we country gudgeons need not give ourselves
any concern for the city. There never ha'
been q time when Charleston did not take
care Of herself.
We have positive proof that the law is vel
enforced at Abbeviile and Governor NC
Sweeney's enemies have not yet charged thai
the law has not been enforced In IS out OF n
of the counties. The admission that the Ia"
in IS counties is we'll enforced. and the belle
that the LIQUOR men in these IS counties with
few sincere, honest prohibitionists. give
strength 10 the prohibition candidate is sug
gestive.
Governor McSweeney has made as good
governor as we have ever had. and he ma
been governor in fact as we'll as In name. HI
has been ruled by nobody. But he has peer
guided by his own sense OF right. He is tn'
logical candidate, and there Is no need tt
throw him out for one who could not truth
fully claim to have more backbone or more
ability or more courage to 10 the right
Let the voters everywhere be careful aooe
believing or accepting as true auy OF th'
many fslsehoods that may be put in circula
ton now. The campaign has been on nov
for two months. UP TO- this time ugly charges
have not been made against any candidate
for county or state office. : If, therefore, any
man has saved his campaign lie to the las
hour, when it cannot be corrected, pay no at

Better Feeling.

We recognize in Charleston's vote last week
a disposition to act sensioly and to become a
part OF the remainder Of the State. In Its
willingness to recognize existing conditions
we feel very grateful to Charleston. If Char.
lesion will only give the people Of the State
an opportunity. they will be friendly Indeed.
We all have reason TO be proud of the city.
and any act Of the people of town which looks
like aligning itself with the country people is
appreciated. All the people of this State
would be loyal TO Charleston whenever that
old city can see friend In her.

Chief BOttIer.

Col. Hoyt in his speech at Abbeville pict-
ured the dispepsary as great evil, and then
asked his hearers If they were willing to let
their sons take position in the sale OF liquor.
But Colonel Hoyt is not consistent. He is
seeking to be made boss of this great and
wicked thing. If 1t is wrong for the citizen
10 retail liquor out of the dispensary, Is it not
equally wrong for the Governor 10 take charge
OF the business.

Level Headed Charleston.

Charleston by her vote last Tuesday &C
knowledged herself part of the State and
refused TO draw the lines between Conserva'
tives and Reformers. Charleston, in this re-
spect, Ia wiser than some other localities. In
some parts OF the country, be it said as fact
drew the line, but Charleston recognized the
new order Of things, and we hope that city
henceforth may Be one OF US.
