The dally Evening Piedmont of Greenville has Issued an Industrial edition. It Is all that the proudest ctty could wish. The enterprising city Is placed well In the line of progress, and Us sucoess Is enough to make sleepy old towns ashamed of their slow growth. Abbeville cannot compete with Greenville in enterprise and thrift, but when thd towns wltb good people are called out, you can Just bet your bottom dollar that Abbeville will be there. II our town cannot be great, our people can certainly be good?while we are asleep. If the Press and Banner bad tbe facts ta Kqoq q nnhltnatlnn Hire fhalnf the Industrial Edition of the Pl?dmont, we would neither nod nor sleep again. We are so good that our neighboring coun try cousins threaten to come In and vote oht the,biggest cash business that we have? the dispensary. Some fifteen years ago Abbeville county voted more than four to one for prohibition, when Tillman gave us the diepen sary. He, or some one else, said It was a step toward prohibition. He, or some one else, poke wiser than be knew, it now turns oat that the prediction was a true saying. There are various kinds oi people wbo will ' now vote for prohibition, or more correctly speaking, for blind tigers. First?Those who love liquor and think that tbey will be removed from temptation 11 the dispensary Is dead. Second?Those wbo hate to see the negro enjoy (the fun of getting drunk. Third?It is barely possible that a considerable contingent would vote against the dispensary as a spite to Abbeville. Fourth?A number may vote agalDst tbt dispensary because somebody has said that the dispensary is doomed. Fifth?There Is also a number ol "prohibitionists" who think tbey are better than th* rest of us, and will seek a little notoriety bj engaging In a holy war against those who drink. Sixth?There li another clans of men who believe that whiskey will be drunk anyhow, and the county might Just as well get the revenue. Seventh?There may be others wbo would love to see good Christians, and praying brothers, handling express packages of liquor. Some good men think that it Is awnl for good men to handle dispensary money, but some very wicked men would like to sef good Christians handling l?q -or for the personal use of customers of the express. If all tbese unite, the dispensary will b< closed. At present it seems that tbeelection for voting it out cannot be held before tb< General Election In November next year. 1908. If It is voted out then, six months long er time will be required to close out the stock, so that the dispensary by that route would not get out before the Spring of 1909. It is proposed by some wbo claim to be pro* *u- T of ltd aittlno D I Dillon IB IB, UKb IUD untlu?uisi? >. > Id January will be asked to pass a prohibitory law for tbe State; and It lookB as If prohibition was sweeping the oonntry. But by next January tbe counties which have voted out the dispensary will have bad some ezpe rlence with prohibition and blind tigers. If that experience Is favorable to sobriety, then a prohibitory law may be enacted. If It la unfavorable, then no such law oonld be passed. ' From tbe act ot tbe Washington official* Id placing Georgia in tbe revenue district with Bontn vjaronna, 11 wouiu hoouj tuai me uui1 eminent expect* Its revenne will be greatly reduced. We believe It has been stated thai tbe revenne on llqnor to tbe general government will b? reduced from balf million to less tban fifty thousand dollars. TWO MOKEjHAPPY SOULS, Sir. Sydney J.
