land itself, you may expect that land
will soon be in large demand and
that prices will 60 higher than they
have been in the past.
Lands have always been cheap in
Abbeville county as compared with
prices paid in. other counties. While
the prices are still low it is time to
buy. There is no better and no more
stable investment anywhere than the
lands of Abbeville county The
young man of the county, who would
be a success as farmer, and be a
part of the community in which he
lives, should own his own home. Now
is the opportune time to buy. The
lands are cheap-the money to buy
is plentiful. The day of opportunity
is at hand.

Miller's Antiseptie Oil Known A.
SNAKE OIL
Will Positively Relieve Pain in Thrs

nally and externally for Coughs,
Colds, Group, Sore Throat, Diph-
liberia and Tonsilitis.
This Oil is conceded to be tho
most penetrating remedy known. Its
prompt and immediate effect in re-
lieving pain is due to the fact that
it penetrates to the affected parts at

Drops on the thickest piece Of sole
leather, and it will penetrate this
substance through and through Ia
three minutes.

BEAUTIFYING THE CITY.

The City of Abbeville should own
at least three or four small parks.
There is nothing which adds so much
to the beauty of a city as well-kept
parks and Fairgrounds, to say moth
ing of the pleasure and comfort it
gives the children in the hot days of
summer.
The city is clearing up the lands
about the Water and Light Plant, and
converting this undesirable section
of the city into beautiful grounds
for the pleasure of the people. The
work is a commendAble one, and we
hope and believe that the people of
the city will duly appreciate what is
being done.
But this park is so far from some
parts of the city that the people of
these sections will not benefit by its
maintenance. For that reason other
small parks should be opened in the
city. And no better park could be
acquired by the people of the city
than Klugh's Park. This property is
now being advertised by the owners.
1t may be bought at a reasonable
price we believe. We would like to
see the people of the city buy it by
private subscription and present it to
a Board of Trustees for the benefit
of the white children of the city. Two
persons have stated to the writer
that each would give as much as one
hundred dollars for this purpose.
Are there not others who are willing
to make a donation to this worthy
cause?
The Press land Banner would be
glad to receive pledges from the citi-
zens of Abbeville who are interested
in beautifying the city and in provid-
ing Fairgrounds and park for the
children as well as the older people.

CONCERNING FRAUD.

Mr.. W. R. Richey, Jr., is lawyer
and he presumably knows the rules
of law. He excuses himself from
voting in the Democratic Executive
Committee for the nomination OF
Governor Manning on the ground
that his nomination in the second
primary was procured by fraud.
Mr.. Richey is correct in asserting
that fraud vitiates all things. The
law so declares. But Mr.. Richey
says nothing about the principle
that che who alleges fraud must
prove it." And he does not recog-
nize the legal principle that a con-
tract or a nomination, alleged to be
procured by fraud is presumed to
be free from fraud, and that we
must stand on that presumption un-
til the presumption is overcome by
proof as ADJUDGED BY THE TRI-
BUNAL AUTHORIZED TO PASS
ON THE ISSUE.
Upon this principle Governor
Manning's nomination is at least
presumably free from fraud. That
presumption stands until somebody
alleges and proves fraud before the
only tribunal designated to try that
issue-THE DEMOCRATIC Exc
CUTIvE COMMITTEE; And when
Mr.. Richey undertakes to say that he
is not bound by tn, votes cast in
the recent primary without under
taking to allege and PROVE fraud
before that tribunal HE TORGETS
HIS LEGAL LEARNING.

THE PRICE OF LAND.

We have had occasion, heretofore,
to advise the young men of the coun-
ty to buy land. We refer of course
to the young men ON the farms, who
expect to make farming a lifetime
occupation.
Just now lands are not on boom

two have made the people more than
cautious. But they will not always
remain so. When a man may buy an
acre of land, and on one years op.

LET DEMOCRATS REGISTER.

The talk of bolt from the Demo.
cratic party in this state continues
to be heard. We do not believe that
there will be bolt by Mr.. Blease'
Heretofore, he has accepted the de-
cree of the people of the state at the
polls, and, so far as we know, he has
never accused his followers of being
bought with money, bribed by liquor
or scared into voting for men who
did not represent their choice. We
do not anticipate that he will do so
now.
But, nevertheless, it is the duty of
every democrat in the state to regis
ter and be prepared for the boilers,
if they came. More than one hun
dred and thirty-fve thousand voters
have pledged themselves, on their
word of honor "to abide the result
of the primary" These same peo-
pie by their representatives have
constituted the State Executive Com
mittee as their tribunal to determine
who is nominated to an Office. Their
tribunal has said that Richard I.
Manning is the nominee for Cover
nor. It is the duty of the men who
thus pledged themselves to live up to
the obligations of the pledge. And
they can only do so by preparing
themselves to vote against all boilers,
and by voting against them.
For this reason, and to allow all
men in the state the opportunity to
register. the books of registration
will be kept open at the court house
until the evening Of the 7th, inst.
If there are those who propose to
bolt, they may keep their plans un-
der cover until it is too late for
democrats to register. This makes
it all the more important that you be
prepared to cast your vote in the
general election. Democrats should
register today.
