f.\. j ~ m I . - ':lj The Abbeville Press and Banner,! BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1904. ESTABLISHED 1844 S The Press and Banne: (^Published every Wednesday at 12 J ear In advance. Wednesday, Nov. 16, 1904, Democratic Defeat. Nearly all the newspapers that we hav seen have assigned a oauree for the recec overwhelming defeat of the Democracy And Judge Parker and Billy Bryan see wise enough to foresee the proper paths fo us to pnreue In tbe future. Judge Parker thinks tbe tariff Is one of tb _ . reatest questions now before the Amerlcai ople, when, as a matter of fact, we fenov nobody about here who cares a cent abou revising the tariff. Tbe alleged fight on trusts Is a joke. Ther are trusts and trnsts. Some are good ani some are bad. As a whole, tbe trusts, Ilk tbe great Industrial corporations, do much fo the development of the coantry. To cry ou against trusts without discrimination an< without specification, .is foolish to a degre bordering on insanity. On tbe subject of high tariff: Men will money and doing nothing to earu money, c ' course wan't to buy goods as cheaply a possible. Tbe mecbanlo and the laborer wh< bays bat few goods Is more Interested li f receiving a fair wage for a day's work. Re' dace tbe tariff and the wages of tbe greai I mass of laboring people will be reduced Without tariff every cotton mill In tb< United States would be compelled to do on of two things, namely : To Gbut down or U reduce tbe wages of tbe operatives. Tb same la true of many other manufacturini enterprises. By the tarlfl money Is mon easily raised with which to pay tbe expense ] of the government than it would be by direct taxation. We of tbe 8outb have blamed Presldeu Roosevelt for exciting race animosity, but if It not true that we, too, of tbe South hav< t kicked up a big fusB on tbe race prdblem ? It la true that the raee antagonism Is greater today that It has been for thirty years. It is also true that distrust and nnkindness of feeling between tbe races Is to be greatly regretted. Tbe evils resulting from such a 4 condition cannot be enumerated. The election of Roosevelt proves as dearly &B it is possible to prove anything, that the people of the United States endorse him and approve bis coarse toward tbe people of tbe South. The smaliness of the vote for Parker I proves that tbe Southern people have few friends. Tbe united North stands as one man against a solid South. We believe it Is tbe Intention of tbe North to rednoe tbe representation of the 8outb In Congress, by basing tbe representation In tbe House of Representatives on the voteB of tbe 8oath and not. as now, on tbe population. Snob a coarse would reduoe South Carolina's members In tbe House from seven to three or four. While we think tbe oollector of tbe port of Charleston has little or nothing to do witb nine-tenths of tbe people, U seems that both tbe people and tbe President are In an ex oeedlagly small business In fussing about the appointment. A little discretion might have kept down tbe friction. Tbe people ol Augusta were more wise in tbelr protest against |a negro postmaster. Tbe negro, Lyons, wbowas objectionable to tbe people of Augusta, was taken to Washington, and no ruous was.kicked up. There Is little doubi ? tbat tbe President, by a little tact on tbe pari of Charleston, could have been Induced not j - to Insist upon tbe Crum appointment. As It is, tbe President has official authority. And he bas tbe.moral support of a United North,and tbe negro bas tbe sympathy ol 3 tbe people living beyond tbe borders of Dixie. With tbe sentiment of tbe country sgalnst os, 1.8 it not Impolitic for the Southern people to prod the Hon In his lair? We of the South might Just aa well open oar eyes to the real situation, possess onr souls In patience, and wait for our opportunity. | Not Rip Van Winkle, The presence of Mr. W. W. Fraeler of Bakersfleld California, gladened the editorial sanctum of the Press and Banner one day i last week. He said that he was like Rip Vai Winkle, returning to the scenes of formei 1 years. Only a few of his old friends remain And heconld recall the names of only a few N men who lived on onr public square when he was here. The public square now look* much smaller than It did In the day of bifboyhood. Except Mr. Parker, all the lawyers are gone. Except Capt. L. W. White, none of the merchants are heie. Col. J. S Towns Robertson Is one of the names that be 9 remembered. And so it was with with Mr. Tusten's name M Mr. Frasler Is a native of this county, who I went to California, many years aeo. WltA the passing years bis love for bis old borne of onlldhood bas Increased until now be can't stay away from Abbeville longer than a few years at a time. Some twenty years ago tbat be mlgbt keep In tonch wltb bis old borne, be subscribed for the Press and Banner, and be says tbat It oomes to blm regularly every Monday. In tne twenty years only one oopy failed to oome, and be wrote back to the office for tbf missing coppy, wblcb was sent. Tbe regular lty with wblcb tbe Press and Banner bat gone to him for all these years Is tbe beai evidence of tbe faltbfullness and tbe effl clency wltb wblcb onr mailing clerk bas discharged his doty. When we see Mr. Frasler and hear hln talk of bis old borne, we are reminded o William Hill who came from Ireland to thli country when he was a youth. In Mr. Hill's old aee he often talked of Ireland and tb< scenes of bis boyhood. In the latter years o bis life bis heart lingered for a sight ol tb friends and tbe home of his boyhood, am more tban onoe be went back. His dlsapolnt ment was painful. Tbe friends of bis child hood were gone and the landscape where hi rpentbls earliest year was familiar to bin no more. And so it Is with Mr. Frasler. Proiperoui and happy In his California home, bis bear IBtlll tarns to the home of bis younger days and be has been back several times to see as With tbe retara before tbe last visit, hi brought bis wife with him, bat she did no come this time. He speaks of her In such i way 88 to leave tbe impression tbat be 1 till ber lover, and tbat sbe is still the idc of his old heart, even as sbe was tbe ideal c bis earliest years. Nothing on this earth 1 purer or sweeter than old lovers who bav lived together in love; and unity for man years. Going down tbe western slope togett eras one and In harmony wita each otbc speaks more than volumes of tbe goodnef of hearts tbat are ripened and mellowed fa the transcendent glory and tbe angelic mi slo of oar beaatllul homes beyond the star Just received a large lot of band mac Indian baskets, something new. 5cta. to $1. each, at Milford's Drug Store.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald : Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of New South Wales, Australia, bad an analysis made of all the cough medlolDes that were sold In that market. Out of the entire list tbey found only one tbat-they declared was entirely free from all poisons. This ezoeptlon was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, made by the Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des Moines, Iowa U. 8. A. Tne absence of all narcotics makes this Remedy tbe safest and best that can be bad; and It Is with a feeling of security that any mother can give It to her little ones. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is especially recommended by Its makers for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough. This remedy Is for sale by C. A. Mllford, Abbeville, H. M. Young, Due West, J. W.
