"Such Politicians"

Ing put ON the board to wind up the dispen-
sary.
II objection is made to '.'such politicians at
M. G, Butler" what kind or variety OF polltl-
CLANS would be more acceptable?
Buffers kind Of politicians nave been nelo
in high esteem.
Are any politicians better than the Butler
kind?
The Press and Banner did not, and does
not. wan politicians Of any sort on tha'
board.
AS We understand, the objection is not g.
peclslly to the "Butler' sort, but 10 all kinds
OF politiciaps.
1t would hsve been unwise for the Cover
nor to appoint the Butler" or any other SORT
OF "politicians,' as administrators OF the es-
tate Of the deceased dispensary.
.lf politicians had been kept on former
boards, and II business men, such az The GOV
ernor has just appointed. had been put on the
board of control years ago. all would now De
we'll with that Institution.
Az a rule, 1t Is we'll 10 appoint q politician
to POLITICAL office, but when business IL to be
transacted, men In the business wolli should
be chosen. No particular objection Is made
to the Butler kind, but objection lie made to
his kind as we'll us to all other kinds.
Mr.. s. F. Cromer says that men. and not pol
lticians, ought to Ill business places. he says
that the State ought TO pay a fair salary for
the services Of good business men. He thinks
everybody knows that a politician will not
live on a paltry sum.

I'll eiPresbyterial High School.

A feeling seems 10 be growing up In Able
vine that The Presbyterian High School pro-
position has fallen through, or Is about to do
so. In view Of that fact the Board OF Trustees
desires 10 say that 1t Is entertaining no such
idea. The good people of Abbevllle have
agreed TO give 10 The Presbytery OF South
Carolina $4,000 and a Site for the establish
meut of such u school. The Pr esby terry has
accepted the proposition and has appointed n
Board of Trustees to arrange for the opening
Of the school In the fall OF 1907.
The Board Is now ready TO begin active
money subscribed Is lnow In hand, and the
subscribers will be cal led upon for the bal
ance OF the subscriptions due according 10
terms in a short while. We have the site
and ex pect soon 10 begin breaking ground for
the building. .
We are undertaking a large and important
work, and are trying TO work al"ng sale and

"seeing the dirt fly"

this movement and with the hearty ca

Speaking Of the Dead.

Quite q number of our brethren Of the press
nave made mention Of the dispensary IN
terms which are not very complimentary TO
the deceased. They seem to forget that hey
should not speak i'll of the dead. II is true
that the great Ste To dispensary 10 dead. but II
left as descendants, q great number OF little
dispensaries and there are numerous post
humous dispensaries which will soon BEE the
light. There ia no good in insulting
the descendants by bringing up old matters
concerning their progenitors.
Even though It's enemies may feel like
dancing over the grave Of the late lamented
dispensary, IL seems q little premature to
make a great demonstration OF Joy. The de-
scendents of that great institution are still
with US, and they may torment US yet.
Ever since q very early date in 10 history
of tn human family, we have had to contend
with strong drink. And the warfare is not
over yet.
The dispensary from its origin has strug-
gled against the political illwill Of an oppos.
ing faction. For the purpose Of achieving a
triumph In name, but eovertly, this faction
has at last embraced the dispensary, and
the real friends OF the dispensary have moth
log to do now but sit on the fence and watch
the institution succeed with the good will
and moral support Of all the good people Of
the state.
Another very gratifying thing is. that
whereas in former days men who were
known to be good men were suspected OF all
sorts OF rascality II they touched the instl-
tuition ever 30 remotely, SO unmerciful had
been the denunciations OF the institution by
those who had fought II from Its %inciplency.
Now church deacons are hardly good enough
to fill similar places, and a fellow who hap
pens to be honored with q place as local
director or In any other capacity is sure to
get bis picture in the papers, and have nicer
things said about aim than willappear In bis
obituary.
