Under date OF Aug. 18th, DR.. n. E. Press:
ly writes: We are safe in Nassau. Had
good weather and good fare. Passengers
we're genial. The weather Is hot. We
sail for Mexico tomorrow to arrive the
2Oth.-A. R. P. Presbyterian.
It is not stated why DIR. Pressly went
so far tout of his way" in going to Mexico
The average citizen might have simply
gone down to Texas and crossed the river
to get on Mexican soil. Looking across
the map it is about half as far to Mexico
as it is to California, Washington, Idaho,
and other States. The fact is, that nearly
half Of the territory Of the United States
is at a greater distance from Abbeville
than is Mexico. Our recollection is that
DR.. Pressly sailed from Charleston a few
years ago while on his homeward journey.
We wish the Doctor q pleasant voyage,
and hope that he may live to be u hundred
years old.-Contributed.

Campaign Lies.
(COntributed.)

The good old Yorkville Enquirer is gen.
orally in the right, and as a rule, we agree
with all that it says: Last week that pa
per said:
Because of the reputation the campaign
liar has made for himself, evcn the truth
has q poor showing in election years. Most
sensible people follow the rule Of putting
all slanderous political stories down as
lies.
To all of the above we say q hearty
amen. AS far as we can now recall the
campaign liar has done no business in
this campaign in Abbeyille County. We
have no recollection of having heard a
word against the character of any candl-
date. .
But in u previous campaign there was
enough said or insinuated against Blease
to excite the sympathy OF voters who owe
q fair deal. While there has not In:'a said
O word as far as we have heard or seen
against any candidate, yet we have heard
or read much which We thought to De in
situation against Blease. This by what
we regarded as members Of the "holier
than thou" element.
The vote of Newberry and Laur"l5 give
assurance that where Blease is we'll known
he has the approval Of mighty good com
munities. We happen TO Know something
of the people Of those counties in the III
ties. and as We knew them t!rn t!ny were
as good as the best and we arc willing 10
support their Judgment or opinion. Blease
needed no other certificate Of character
thar that of the voters Of Newberry.
AS the situation appears to us: All the
candidates are, admittedly, gentlemen
Blease having this disadvantage OF the
rest. He was born of the uneducated class
and because OF his inherited poverty, and
his ambition to rise to positions OF lnflu-
ence and usefulness, the other set are Jeal-
GUS of him and his abiliL%-;"'I we assume
that there was not one in the Governors
race n man who would claim to have more
ability.
While Mr.. Featherstonc's good charac-
ter is in no way questioned. yet he pro-
poses to deny to Il part OF tn" counties the
right Of local opticn-a right which was
freely offered to Abbcville and other coun-
ties. If local option was right last year, 1t
is right this year.
The State of South Carolina has as much
right to say that Abbeville shall sell whis-
KEY Us it has to say that Charleston shall
not.
The cry i'm 1876 was Home Rule
Believing that 'Vo!itirai si"rir" are
.campaign lies" and believing that the OPP
n~osition to Blca-c is based more on jcal-
ousv of Il poor boy who is ambitious TO
rise in the world, than upon substantial
REASONS. this scribe expects To poll his vote
next Tuesday for Cole l.. Blcaso.
Whatever the facts may he, we think
Blcasc is II manly min, and we bclievc that
oppusitlon to him is largely based upon
this fact, and the fact of the poverty of his
birth lie has no CuIuurls or Generals or
Governors among his ancestry. And we
.Lu moi believe in closing the door of hope
or refusing promotion t" the poorest boy
in South Carolina. To seek to be- Governor
is il laudablr ambition.

Every law relating to schools is being
zone over and revised where, in the
Opinion OF the members of the commission,
it is thought to be necessary. AS has
been pointed out by State SuperIntenaHnt
of Education Swearingen, the school laws
Of the State are very complicated. 1t was
on the Recommendation of Mr.. Swearingen
that the, Legislature passed the Act
Jotinn Mas made in his annual report. 1t
is the hope of the commission to have its
report completed in time for the next
session of the General Assembly.

Butter and Butter Substitutes.

The great majority Of people eat butter
and much prefer it to any OF the suostl'
tutes which have been upon the Market
However, Il great many people must use
a substitute on account Ofthe high prices
which prevail during certain months OF the
year.
' Oleomargarincis the most common SUBJ
stitutes for butter and millions or pounds
of this product are consumed a year.
The difference in cost OF production be.
twee olemargarine and butter is so great
that when butter is retalled at 1ourIy
cents per pound, olemargarlne may De
retaiied ct twenty cents per pound at as
great a profit to the dealer.
The person who chooses to purchase the
substitute should be allowed to do so and
he should be required to pay only the
price of the substitute. The ditference I'D
price between the genuine product n the
Substitute Is so great that dealers are
tempted to sell the latter for the former
Only by requiring that the consumers
NAV ~differentiate between the two articles
can honest traffic be insured:
This was contemplated by congress
when the present internal revenue tax OF
ten cents per pound was levied upon az
officially colored olemargarlnen. many
people think that all oleomargarine Is tax
ed ten cents per pound. This is not a TACT
OIeomargarine which is "artifciaily
coIored" SO that the consumer cannot dis
tiuguish it from butter is the only oleo'
margarine that is thus taxed. When 1t Is
nut 1pon the market in its natural color ii
is taxed only one-fourth OF one cent pei

It is only when the product IS made tC
