Make a Little Allowance.

While the suspicious and the hearsay evil
dence would make the management OF the
dispensary very bad, yet nobody has been ar
rested. II few men saw signs OF evil doing
in the dispenssry investigation, 1t is equally
true that ten times as many men could be
found who knew Of nothing wrong. Where
i've men saw wrong hundred could be found
who saw no wrong.
But liquor from any quarter is bad. The
|dspensary Is bad and we know Of nothing
which we think could be worse than dis
pensary, and that is barroom. A few
mighty good men have been swept of their
feet by all this howl against the dispensary,
while no notice has been taken of the fact
that opponents of the dspensary. as a rule.
are fighting for open bars-high licensed bars
at that.
Fifty years ago bar keepers thought that
under high license, was the ideal way OF SELL
ing whiskey, and strange 10 say, some prohi-
bitionsts today have gotten on the bar plat
form.
If prohibitionists are sincere they will vote
for Brunson.
II liquor men are sincere they will vote for
candidates who would tinker with the dis
pepsary law as much as possible.
If temperance men are sincere they will
vote for the strict enforcement of the dspen-
sary law. with additional safeguards.

Should be Abolished.

We see by the newspapers that there has
been wrong-do!ng by some of the employees
in the Columbia post office. The teslipg or
dishonesty may be charged 10 the presence OF
the dispensary or TO the Law and Order
League. We know that the churches are not
responsible. And we do not know to whose
influence this wrong-dolpg may be charged
up. But 1t is certain that the Columbia post
Office ought to be abolished:
First-Because II is in close proximity to
the dispensary and the Law and Order
League.
Second-Because of evidences of corruption
or dishonesty, recently made public.
Third-Because we have reason to believe
that the post Office at Columbia receives daily
great number of copies of the Daily Record
to be passed through the mails at second
class postage rates.
Fourth-The reasons which call for the ex-
olusion OF the Colum bia Record from the post
office may BIZ found in the editorial columns
of almost every issue of tn at parer.
First-It without the fear of Uncle Sam or
any Of his post office hirelings daily prints
editorials in support OF the horrid old dispen.
sary, about which we have heard so much,
and about whose alleged corruption nobody
has ever been called to account.
Second-Because Its efforts to throw mud at
the Investigating committee, might lead the
public to believe that the Record thought the
Investigating committee was not as good as
1t should be.
All these matters should be called to the al
tention Of Mr.. Capers at once.

"Killed Like Dog by Cur"

The above heading or words with the same
meaning has been quoted aa coming from
New York paper when speaking Of the kill
ing of Millionaire White by a society man
named Thaw. Thaw shot White on account
Of his (Thaw's) wife.
The killing of men on account OF women
has become almost an every day occurrence,
and we think that such murderers should be
punished. By authority Of either law or oil
public opinion is a man authorized to COM
NIT murder because Of his jealousy OF
member Of his own family. BY what meth
cd OF reasoning should a man be excused for
murder because his wife has been unfaithful
to him.
BY what method Of reasoning is man al
lowed 10 Kill another because he married an
upfaithful wife. Not one virtuous married
woman in q thousand is approached impro-
perly. The married woman who receives I'M
proper suggestions may we'll ask herself II she
has behaved prudently. Married women
who encourage improper attentions, land she
will likely get none against her willy do not
deserve the protection which should be &C.
corded TO virtuous women. The slayer OF
man because Of his wife's impurity Is guilty
Of murder, and should be so treated.

The State CamDai.n,

II body doubts the necessity for State
campaign where the people may meet the
capdiuaies face 10 lace, be has only to read
the accounts of these meetings as printed
wit the editorial comment In the headings.
The campaign meetings have completely
done away with rule by newspapers, and 1t Is
look with dlsfavor upon any movementfor
the continuation OF d system, by which their
power may be curtaled.
Let the reader call TO mind how often the
newspapers have reflected public sentiment
since the appearance OF Tillman on the stage
If they have been In sympathy with the ma
jority Of the people in a sirgle instance, We
dc not now recall the fact.
1t is true, however, as We believe, that quite
a number OF country newspapers think just
as do the great dailies. We have too much
Integrity OF the city newspapers to charge
them with taking their positions from the
country press. The fact that great minds In
the newspaper business run in the same
channel is no dlsparagement to either. But
Notwithstanding the similarity or oneness Of
sentiment bJ number Of the press, the fact
still remains that they do not voice, or repre-
sent. the public sentiment. The city press in
following In the wake Of he country press In
the fight against the dispensary will no doubt
find at the close OF this campaign that they
have lost just as they have done in every
cam mpagn since Tillman began TO fight the
oligarchy.
The dispensary will be on top. and don't

candidates who are sitting astride the fence
will be left there, high aud dry.
The honest and sincere prohibtionlst, Joel
E. Brunson, will be mortified at the treachery
of his prohibition friends when he finds them
In the liquor camp.
OF course those prohibitionists who are true
to principle will vote for the prohibition can
didate. But some of these same prohibition
lists seem to be leading the daily press into
the license camp.

Unnecessarily Alarm ed.

We see in the newspapers a letter by Sena-
tor Blake in which he seems to express q fear
that Ahbeville county may lose farm hands
who have overdrawn their pay, or something
like that.
Unless the farmers on the Savannah side
are richer than we are in the city Of Able
VILE, no considerable number OF them are
able to advance large amounts TO laborers
The experience OF people in these parts is
that II is a hard scuffie to pay their debts as
they become due.
We don't believe that any considerable
number of farmers, or contractors, or prin-
ters, are able TO make big advances to any
body. And we further believe that the vast
majority of those who have money to let out
have too much sense TO throw 1t away by
making advances TO laborers.
We hope that the Governor may not get ex-
cited on this subject. Abbevtlle farmers, as q
rule, may be depended upon to take care ol
themselves. If necessary we could put a few
negroes In "Hominy Pot' or in "Shuck PEN
Don't you lose any sleep, Governor, about
the farmers Of Abbevilie county. They'll
take care of themselves, and the negroes, too.

President OF ErskiDe.

Assuming that DR.. f. Y. Pressly will accept
the Presidency OF the Theological Seminary
his action will create vacancy in the chair
of the President OF Erskine College. To fill
that vacancy we have heard some names sug.
gested. Mentioned alphabetically they are
Rev. NJ. b. Grier, OF
Rev. Z. B. Kennedy, OF Abbeville.
Rev. J. 5. Moffatt. OF Chester.
Rev. d. q. Phillips, Of Atlanta.
II has been suggested. II layman should
be chosen that Hon. j. H Miller, OF Birmirg-
ham, Ala, would make a most acceptable
president, the only fear being that be would
not leave a profitable law practice TO accept
the salary which is paid to Erskine's presi-
dent. 1t would be impossible for this editor
TO accept the place. We are resting now.

JUDGE MACKAY'S THANKS
TO WYATT AIKEN
An Eloquent Letter in appreciation
of an Increase in his Mexican War
Pension.

The State.
The State Bureau,
l417 G Street, N. w.,
Washington, July /.
Judge Thomas Jefferson Mackey has
been formally notified of an increase
in his pension for services in the Mex
lean war. Now the judge is apprecia-
tive of the services of those who have
contributed to this consummation of
his hopes, and the eloquent pen which
he wields on many occasions reminds
one of the still greater and still more
inspiring eloquence OF his tongue.
Concerning this pension, he writes
Representive Wyatt Aiken the follow
Ing letter:
II have Just returned to this city
after a weeks absence and received
under your frank copy of the law in.
creasing my pension from $12 90 to
$4,000 per month. But for your kind
offices, 80 considerably volunteered in
my behalf, this timely benefaction
would never have been conferred upon
me. And be assured, dear sir, that
nv gratitude is enhanced by the re-
llECllOl Llldl ~ SolhS W. 1hS ~ S'AN
day of my need through a representa-
tive worthy of my native State, whose
brave and honorable kindred have
ever proved true to South Carolina,
whether State or province, bond or
free, in war and in peace; and in a
venal period and throughout great
political vicissitudes kept the whiteness
of their souls untarnished. Believe
me, dear sir, ever"
X. +. ID. Carriers to Have Vacation
Beginning with July lst all rural
free delivery carriers will be entitled
to two weeks leave of absence on full
pay. Several of the South Carolina
delegation have been urging thisprovis-
ion, bills having been introduced along
this line by Messrs. Aiken, Lever,
Patterson, and 1 suppose the others.
They and others have been dingdong-
ing after this thing until finally the
committee itself put it into the bill
and it is now law. Some of the South
Carolina members have been getting a
number of letters from rural free de-
liuery carriers asking about this mat
ter, so many they say that they have
been unable TO answer them.

The C.-I. man was made happy Monday by
an old friend, j. w. Durrance, who presen ted
US with a fine, large watermelon. We ate II
with a relish, as 1t was one Of the finest we
have tasted In many day, and we take this
method OF thanking Mr.. Durrapce for so
kindly remembering Informant,
Barlow, Fla.
If the Press and Banner had been "made
happy by an old friend, J w. Durrance," this
newspaper would have said: 81. W. Dur
rance Is one of the best farmers in Florida.
His cash pile is only equalled In size by the
size OF his watermelons. His daughters are
the prettiest young ladies in the State. His
horses step higher and trot faster than any
horse in this neck Of the woods"
Mr.. Durrane doesn't care about your meth
od OF thank Ing him. He wanted you TO tell
your readers some fact about his prosperity,
his well Improved farm, his Jersey cow, or the
swamp land which he had reclaimed.

Public Buildings For Greenwood and
Anderson.

In the appropriations for public buildings
by Congress, Greenwo comes In for $780,
900 and Anderson for $4,000. This is great
triumph for Congressman Aiken and Senator
Latimer. Mr.. Aiken has been working on
the eappropriationfor these cities for more
than two years and his skill in the manipr.
lation OF leg gislation enabled him to get them
through the House. lis passage at the Sen
ate end ofthe Capitol ia the good work OF
Senator Latimer. Senator Latimer and Mr..
Aiken may justly be numbered amongst
those Congressman that do things. and IT Is
this that makes them so useful and popular
with their constituents.
The Press and Banner hopes that Abbevllle
may soon have the requisite population and
post Office business to warrant public
building. Our Congressman has fully de.
monstrated his ability to help us when the
conditions can be complied with.

AS a parting shot the Advertiser asks:

"Eut does Abbeville favor Hub" as against
Fraser Lyon? That Is the ISSUE"
We contend that our respected neighbor is
in error. This campaign. as we understand
is run on question OF principle or policy,
where men are merely an incident.
Neither Hub" nor Frazer Lyon is an issue
in Abbeville County. "Hub" Is not can
didate. and Of course he is not factor in this
iss ne. Mr.. Lyon is candidate for attorney
general upon principles which are contrary
to the we'll known principles OF the Press and
Banner. We expect Mr.. Lyon to vote &C.
oording to bis convictions, and this editor
will likewise vote his own convictions.
Our rule is to vote for our eighbOrs. except
when special reasons exist for doing other.
wise. This, We believe TO be good principle
and good policy.
In Mr.. Lyons fight on graft in the difpen-
sary this editor concurs: on the question OF
abolishing the State dlspensary he dissents.
It is question Of principle and not OF men.

A voter has asked the Press and Banner to
