The '?ress and Banner j| Bv W. W. and W. R, Bradley. I HUGH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. *#-Publlshed every Wednesdp at 82 a year In advance. Wednesday, Feb. 14, 1906 The Observer confidently expects to have the pleasure of seeing the dispensary voted oat of Abbeville county next summer in spite of the fact that the newspapers of the oonntv are defenders of the G. M. I.?Newberry Observer. Tbe Press and Banner hopes that the Observer's pleasure would not consist entirely in its opposition to the newspapers of the County, though our neighbor gives no bint of expected pleasure from any other source. If the Observer's hope of pleasare is based upon a wish for the welfare of tbe people, and not upon ill-will for tbe county newspapers tbe "expectation of pleasure at seeing tbe f dispensary voted out of Abbeville*'is commendable. Tbe Abbeville newspapers have had experl ence wun proDiuniuu, ?uu iui iu<?? >v?? they oppose the removal of tbe restrictions bow placed around tbe sale of liquor. t From every^hlBtory of tbe buman^famlly Intoxicants bave been a snare and a devise of tbe Evil One to entrap tbe unwary. Tbe wblskey question Is not yet settled. And strange things still occur. Never before in ' tbe life time of tbls editor bave we seen tbe ranks of tbe customers of bars and tbe friends of license system reinforced by tbe advocates of prohibition. As we see it, and as we believe tbe faots to be: Flrat?All' lovers of tbe open saloon are op? posed to tbe dispensary. 8eoond?All advocates of tbe license system are oppotcd to the dispensary. (Third?A lew blind or misguided prohlbl. 1 tlonlsts, however honest and conscientious they may be, are opposed to tbe dispensary. These tbree elements combined are strong, and may be able to break down the restrlotlons now placed on tbe legal sale or liquor. If prohibitionIbib were more earnest in their desire for prohibition, ana aia uoi astuuir airs of boiler lhaa thou, tbey ought to see and know thai .we have prohibition for half ol each twenty-four hours, anr* that our dlapen ' spry has Dover been open on Sundays. Id some towns the back doors of drinking saloons are not always kept sfc ut on Sundays. V .<. Id the bar-room days the places for dlspen In? drink* vcre kept open until a late hour at night. If our "prohibition" friends could realise ibe advantage of this fact, and would join In an effort to have the dlepensarle* closed at an eailler hour, and have them opened at a later hour, they would accom' pllBh much good. If our respected biotber will notice all this noise against ibe dUpensary is led by the license element and supported by the drlokIng men, who are rc-lnforced by a few prohl bltionlste. We take no stock In opposition to the dispensary because of any cheating, stealing or j swindling that may have been revealed by the recent Investigation. The fault Is largely I due to the Inexperience of the Legislature in I providing safeguards for the Institution. F As far as we are Informed there Is no law to ponlib tbe controller of tbe dispensary 101 any of their repiebenslile acts. Iftbeawaid log of oodtracts to fursUb liquor at an excetslve price was made a penitentiary offence, It Is quite likely tbat a repetition 01 recent purchases would not occur. Because oar own observation convinces ub tbat under tbe dispensary we have bad less drinking and less drunkenness tban under any other system, tbla newspaper standB for tbe dispensary. And our record for Bobriety and consistency In advocating restrictions on tbe sale of liquor would, in all probability, lose nothing In conparlson with that of the most zealous prohibitionist or the most bitter hater of the dispensary. ? * ? t . 1 he Comptroller Ueneral and ihc GnenvJlle County Offlceis. From statements made last week by the Comptroller-General it seems tbat tbe Comptroller-General and tbe Greenville county offloers In 1881 and In 1692 made very Imperfect or erroneous settlements In tbe baDdllcg of ooonty funds for these years. It reads like ancient history. Tbe motive for resurrecting tbe matter at tbls late day and opening a settlement of twelve years' standing Is not clear to us. The Comptroller-General oertalnly of r%rt t hp pfflclfin* UBU uv iumumvm vi * oy 01; Integrity of bis predecessors in the Comptroller-General's office. And then be ooald have no object known to us from wblcb to annoy tbe county officers, who, we presume, have long since gone out of office. Tbe post office department requires fre qaent and definite settlements wlib tbe different postmasters and wben a settlement is made we believe tbe settlement Is final and tbe matter Is ended. Railroad agents make frequent settlements. Life Insurance agents must make prompt settlement. Fire Insurance agents pay off every montb Tbe oil mill folk must make dally reports and remittances. Tbe National Bar ks must make five settlements every year. Tbe State BankB must publish quarterly reports. Tbe State Treasurer makes definite and apeolflc settlements. Wltb all these business examples before us It U strange that tbe county officers and tbe Comptrollei-Genffral alone should have been derelict In tbe past. Every County Treasurer who has gone out of office in this county has proved ?tke lnelflclenly of blssettUmentB with the Comptroller-General. And we see no reason why these offioers should not settle In accordance with the law which requires mat me settlements shall be correctly and fully made. The efficiency and the activity of the preheat Comptroller-General Is, we tblDk, the best evidence that his successors In office may not In future years dig up facts to prove derelictions of duty on his part. He seeme to b? making tbelr annual settlements as required by law, and In this way his service will be acctptableto the public and Just to the oonnty officers of whose actings and doIngB the office gives him the oversight. IMPBOVEMENTS. The Sew Bakery. One of the recent improvements of Importance to the city Is the New Bakery on Main Street, wblcb has been opened by Mr. BrelhaLo. The building in a new uuu cuumodlous one, tbe oven was built upon tbe most improved plans and of a size to make bread for all of Abbeville. Tbe Peoples Bank Doing some Profitable work In the Building. Tbe Peoples Bank Is having tbe upper story oftbelr building muob Improved. A new stairway will be put in from the sidewalk on Main Street, and tbe rooms are to be newly plastered and sklmm9d. Tbe floor will be made good where they are worn, and tbe window sash will receive proper attention. Tbe bank has so Improved the property that tbe ronts will pay a fair Interest on tbe Investment and leave tbe banking office almost or quite without coEt to the bank. Politeness is not always the sign of wisdom, but the want of it leaves room for the suspicion of folly. - Religious Profanity. Borne time ae;o the Spartanburg Herald bad something to say like this, .or words to tbat eflect: "Physicians use whiskey for medical purposes; preachers use proranlty for religious purposes." The following paragraph from the Associate Reformed Presbyterian of last week reminds us of what the Spartanburg Herald said, as quoted above: "Our wills may Innocently differ from Qod's In matters concerning which God's will can be known only In Its working oul. And In this lies the explanation of much Christian pain and sorrow. God's differ!bg will Ib suddenly revealed in his providence. Our plans go to pieces; our loved ones go to blm, and we suffer. Such suffering Is got sinful If we be submissive. Aud the submission God requires is not that we at onco prefer what h>-sends for lis own sake, but tbat we say: Though that other seems better and my hoart. nllnati In If. Vftt let God's Will be dOD9 : for Id the end I know 1 sball find it beat." "Thou sbalt cot take the name of the Lord thy God 1ft vain." CLUBS IS TEDMPS. ? Pab Hilt* Fiudn a Wider Field of PwfalueiN. Shady Grove, Feb. 11,190C. Dear GentR: I've been grinnln' the driest grin that ever distorted my sevene countenance fur the last five days. It all cam about from perusln' the CoustltootloD uv the State uv South Carolina lurnlnt the llcker question. How a set uv men cud cono< ct slob a outrageous law lessen lhey wusall recuperatln' frum a big booze 1b more'n I can flgger out. I wus a readln' uv the Constltootlon when this sentence loomed up atore my vlshun. Provided, that no llscenoe shall be granted to Fell alcoholic beverages In less quantities than 1-2 pint, or to sell tbem between rundown and sunrise, or to sell tbem to be drunk on the premises. Tbare you are, Section VIII, Article II uv the Coofitttootlon. If I'd a kuowd them fellers wus goin to make that kind uv a law 1 wud er seen the last hide uv em In Hamberg afore I'd a voted fur em. No llcker in lessen half pinto. Who wants ter kill er half pint at er blow ? No seWn' uv llcker atween sundown an sunrise. If there's a time a feller enjoys llcker U'b at night, an these Constltootlon conventionalists uv oat'n hev fixed It so a feller can't git a drap. No llcker to be drunk on the premasls. Why gents I don't know how manny times I Jest done without a drink canBe I didn't know where I could take it In a decent manner. I don't want ter stick er pint bottle in my brlicbe8 pocket an slip erroun bosses heels, emong carts an wagging an males, erroun er corner In some Utile alley that'ud u<ua of anat hrnntrntm all the time dodela' Ilkelwu8er blamed criminal, fleelD' from tbe ban uv Justice, and then have ter either puncb the stopper Into tbe bottle or break er knife blade ofl glttln It out. Besides iicker drinks better when you are in front nv a bar where youc'n see all kinds atomizers an lemons an bitters an mint an slch like. That stenkln' Infernal ole fly trap uv a dispensary has caused more good men to quit drlnkln' llcker entirely than a'most anything else 1 know uv. They Jest nacherly wud rather do without than have to go thru the rigermerole that's neBsary to git It an I don't blame 'em. That'tyour dispeniary, that's the way It accomodates people who dampen ther neks. Pab Slltz Is gone to Spartanburg where the people bev voted tbe tbtng out. Pab's runnin one of the clubs. He says tbe clubs la tbe greatest tbing out They've got er Charter frum tbe state an tbe members uv tbe club can drink anything they want an no fear of a poleeceman or constable nutber. Whenever a constable comes Pah says be Jest shows lm bis charter an tells Im to back out jes as quick as possible an be bss to git out too. Pab says any body can Join fer 8 quarter an that a red noxed feller Is entitled to honorary membership. Pab stz that tbe members or tbe clubs will never ergain vote fur a dispensary, they like tbe clubs so much better. He sez that tbey received in one day In Spartanburg a bundered an sixty-seven galluDs uv llcker, tbats makln things bum sum. If Sturky don't do suintblD here I think I'll move off to Spartanburg. Pab Bed la bis last letter to me tbat tbey had several olnbs In fac quite a number an tbat I cud take my choice. Tbat suits me bettern the dispensary, gents, any thing on tbe yearth Is bettern tbe dispensary. But It alnt no use fur me to go off, we can have tbe same condition! rite here In Abbeville If we can get rid uv the dispensary, lets hit while tbe Ion 1b hot. Vote It out. Shove er off boys. Kill It. Hit er hard. Deborn tbe ole Helffer. An then lets organize some olubs like thevvegotin Greenville and Spartanburg an different places. We cud bev by la^s snthln like this. Sec. I. No dispensary shall be allowed In tbe precincts uv tbis omo. 8ec. II. FroblbltlonlBt can come In provlded tbey can prove tbat tbey voted agin tbe dispensary. Sec.'.lll. All red nosed Individuals la honorary members. Sec. IV. It sball be the purpose uv tbls club to beep In stock ao on tap, day and nlte, 8unday and Monday, leotlonB or no lections, all kinds and classes of nek dampners an hereditaments. Sec. V. There sball be no age limit to the membership nv tble club. Seo. VI. All pollytltions shall be considered honary members on election years. Sutbln like this wud be tbe thing, uv course you cud ad to It as mncb as you want to but tbe above I think would comprehend tbe cardinal points. Hopln tbat you will give this your Immediate an serious ooaslderatlon an nerverously waitin for somebody to do sutbln to releeve this horrible suspense, I beg leave to remane, Yours, GullermoSed. Safe Blowers at Elberton. I We see by the Elberton Star tbat safe blowers have been reoently doing business In Mlddleton, Tbey found two safes in a store. Tbey loaded both, but only one "went off." Result, safe ruined. No money lost. If tbe Middleton merohanl bad done as we do his safe would still be all right. If we get a dollar or two, we pat it In the bask, and leave our safe uulooked. We keep nothing In oar safe that would be of value to anybody else than ourself. We leave the door unlocked for two reasons: First?We know that bank examiners oould break in about as easily as tbey oould open a cigar box. Second?We djn't want our safe ruined, and rather than have It rained we do not lock It. Will Vote lor the Treaty. Senator Patterson of Colorado will not be governed by the Democratic causes in its opposition to the ratification of a treaty with San Domingo. And the Democrats are saying all sorts of things about him, showing hit inconsistency and threatening to read bim oat of the party, and punishing in any way possible. Consistent or not, right or wrong, the Senator makes a brave and manly stand for a principle which we believe to be right, and despite the awful consequences for the act, he will vote for the ratification of a treaty with San Domingo. We believe it right to make the treaty or to annex the island. The island is of great value to us, if held by us. but if ht Id by any of the great Pow ers it would be a menace to America, or, that is the way we look at it, and 11 this editor had a vote we should vote to ratify the treaty or to annex the island. The discovery that Congressman Longworth is an inveterate fiddler Is only an addltlonal proof that it must be a real love match.?News end Courier.

K. Thoi-nas ant others of New York, whereby a s.vndi cate, composed of those capitals would buy 500,000 bales of middlinj cotton at 13 cents. Mr. Jordan iei now pending out tb? contract forms to holders of cotton He announce*, and this is specified ii the contract, that the direct f-ale of cot ton for 13 cents does not affect thosi who are holding for 15 cents. Tnej are given the privilige of holding bact ????" K?liaa a a Katr nloooo . fnf t Hf iXO Iliaiijr uaivo cw iuvj ^ivmvjw iv* % ?. price. The contract also includes cottor made in August and September. Ii is estimated that there are nowl,250()0( bales sold, and judging by the rate o consumption of the mills,, they wil require 7.900,000bales for their need between now and October 1st, FORM OF CONTRACT. Following is the form of the contract agreed upon by Thomas, his as< sociates and President Jordan: 'I agree to sell to the order of Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton association, for the E. R. Thomas syndicate of New York City, bales oj middling cotton at 13 cents per pound at interior points, and further agree tc ship same on demand on or before July 1st, 1906. The title and possesion of such cotton to remain with the owner until the purchase money is paid"I also agree to sell to the syndicate all cotton made by me during August and September at the then market price to be not less tban the minimum price to be fixed for the crop by the Southern Cotton association. "The essence of this contract is the securing from the planters of the south not less than 500,000 bales of cotton of the present crop at the above montioned price. Name. P. O. address "I also retaiu bales of cotton which I will pledge to hold for a maximum price of 15 cents." THOMAS a BANKER. E. R. Thomas is at the bead of several New York banks, and is widely interested in financial undertakings. He has $12,000,090 in his own right in this deal, in addition to the co-operation of several other financiers. Mr. Jordan declares that New York bankers are ready at any time to finance southern banks in assisting holders of cotton for higher prices. Mr. Jordan is confident that this move wil) assist in putting up the price, and it now remains only for the farmers to sell their cotton at the price mentioned in the contract. "They may sell it outright at this price," siid Mr. Jordan, "or they may hold for 15 cents. In either event they are made safe. You will notice that the contract specifies not only the cotton now on band, but also that of the new crop in August and September. Now if the mills take at all the cotton they need at their present rate of consumption, they will require 7,900,000 bales by October 1st. SPINNERS CAN FAY It CEJNTS. " The yarn ami cloth print spinners are quite able to pay 14 cents a pound for cotton." Mr. Jordan resumed. "Cotton print cloths advanced 1-8 of a cent a yard last week. The Fall River mills uot only paid a dividend on their investment, but also 7 per cent on tbe wage earning* of their employes. "You can see by this that the mills are plenty able to pay for cotton at a rearonable price. It is not a question of working a hardship on tbern. They simply wish to keep the prices down so that they can make more money." >?? Jordan added that option contacts wo uld be mailed to any holder ot cotton whose address the association ? -ll,nn?nlronlu QIG 1101 .nave, AH auuu aa lucvuijuavm are accepted for 500,000 bales, then Thomas and his associates will take the cotton.
