The Mauger In Bethlehem.

No one thing in the Gospel story ap
peals more to the hearts Of young and
old alike than that the 2Redeemer o
Men was born in place so iowly as 6
manger, out Of which beasts were won
to take their food. Every one who ha:
heard or read the immortal narrative
of that birth has tried to picture tC
himself the scene-that rough stable,
followed out of the rocks--where CHS
tianity had its Origin.
The poverty and squalor of that
scene have been of wondrous power in
affectingHhe hearts of all of US. We
have pondered the rude features OF
that environment until it has gained a
romantic place in our thoughts. Few
ofus have not hoped that we might
sooner or later look on that historic
spot, so fraught with portents of man
kind. : - ....
But the visitor to Bethlehem Is
foomed to disappointment. There is

Three Per Cent.-DOn't Part With
Your Mill Stock.

The board of directors Of the Abbeville Cot.
ton Mill met last Friday evening and deelsr
ed dividend OF three per cent on all the
stock of the Company-payable on the first o.
January.
New machinery is being put in the Mill
and the outlook Is all that could be expected
or hoped for.
The Press and Banner makes 1t rule not tc
give advice, but there may be nothing amiss
in making suggestion for the consideration
OF those who hold stock in the mill.
II seems that mill stock Is first class securi
~. No one with whom we are acquainted
has expressed the least doubt as to it's value
We would suggest therefore that our people
do not part with their holdings. Even If the
holders should be in debt for part OF It,
1t seems that 1t would be advisable to struggle
and economist until 1t Is paid for. When
paid for 1t Is good property, and upon which
In case OF need, money can be borrowed.

Te Reduce the Grade.

The Southern Railway proposes to reduce

railroad across the mountains. at cost of

Admit Them as Territories.

Kicking Democrats are at loss to know
what to do with the recently acquired islands
Why not treat them as territories, as other
States were treated before their admission as
States For instance: Why not let Porto
Rico now be made territory Of the United
States. and then. when the conditions suit
why not admit the island as State, with full
local government. spd representatives In
both houses of Congress? Why not the
Senator from Porto Rico? Why not the

The Legislature.

For some unaccountable reason, the Legis
lature is being neglected by the newspapers
Up to this time that august body has had
almost no good advice; and the members
must be ahungering and athirsting for good
advice.
Here's good suggestion or two, namely:
Make it unlawful to shoot a man in the
back. Fix penalty for negro hot suppers
and hold the giver Of such entertain ments
responsible for damages. Let him work II
out on the chaingang, If he is unable to pay.

Peace Rulcd.

During Christmas day, and during most OF
the Christmas holidays, quiet and good order
was the rule. There has been less bloodshed
and less disturbance OF the peace than on any
former Christmas. The order in South Caro-.
lima was in striking contrast with reports
from other States. Except for negro hot sup
pers ard few accidents to hunters, the
Christmas was one Of good order.

Shall We Stand StiIlc

The building OF the Abbeville Cotton Mill
was distinctive gain for the business inter
ests OF the town. Shall we be satisfied with
that Institution, and shall we stand still for an
indefinite time; or, shall we begin the new
year by determined effort to make further
kprogress?

Another Bank Possible.

A new bank in Abbeville may not be re-
mote possibility. BY little effort sufficient
capital can be secured. The increasing de-
mands of the commerce and trade OF the
town afford an inviting field for such an en-
terprise, and If efficient men, with money,
take the lead, they will meet with proper en-
couragement, and a new bank will be an
accomplished fact. Let the right man take
the Initiative and Abbeville will have three
good banks before the close Of another year.
A new bank and new mill for 1900 will
make the year memorable In the history OF
Abbeville.

The Abbevllle Cotton Mill was built on a
basis OF home subscriptions Of s1OO,O0O-and
nobody has been hurt. Every man Is holding
to his stock, and weep only because he has
not more of 1t. When Mr.. Aug. w. Smith s
subscription paper is presented, it is hardly
possible that you will ever regret having put
your name down for a liberal amount. DO
that and don't get impatient. The desired re.
suits, With good management and good luck,
will be sure TO follow.

Reducing Southern Represen tRtives.

NeuuclHE SUHtHerH FseVre"eH"e'Ne"'
We see that an effort Is to be made 10
deprive the South OF the excessive number o.
Representatives which the Southern
States now have in Congress-.
We have seen the statement that the repre-
sentaton from the South In the Nominating
Conventions would thus be reduced from 2O(
to 65. II by the reduction we would be saved
from defamation at Washington by men
who may claim all the votes OF the negroes
who neglect or refuse to register or vote, we
shall be pleased at the change. Three or four
men from South Carolina would serve Us just
as well as seven.
BY the proposed plan the representation
from every State would be placed on the
same bases. And that would be right.

Broom Corn.

The News and Courier now booms broom
corn as crop. That paper may be right now,
even as 1t was In the tobacco business. At
first we thought the suggestion to plant tobac-
CO was little off from the proper thing. but 1t
seems that the tobacco culture Is very salts
factory. It may be that broom corn Is one OF
the corning crops.
