Abont two hundred students are there. Dr. MofTatt bas worked wonders for that college. Tbe fact Is, he has drawn so many students to Due West that additional preparation has to be made for thelf Bccommoda tlon. It Is lair to assume that the Synod will take the matter In band. Just now tbe work of missions is taxing tbe obnrcb to tbe limit, and It Is barely possible tbat In view of tb s faot some of the money now going to missions, home and foreign, may be diverted to the College. Ersklne College Is, by far, tbe most Important enterprise of tbe ohurob, and its needs are more apparant than tbe needs of any other enterprise in which tbe oburoh is now engaged. Tbe life of the ohurcb Is more intimately related to her colleges than to anytbing else, and we believe tbat all mem bers and frlendB of tbe church would be glad to see Ersklne take another step forwardOther colleges are collecting endowments or receiving money for needed Improvements, and Ersklne should take like steps or the advancement of her interests which are so olosely allied with the prosperity of tbe oboroh. Without disparaging other church work, there Is nothing upon which tbe people of tbe whole obnrcb coold more enthusiastically work than in building additional or needed bouses lor Ersklne. The dispensary decision tupporting Judg? Prltchard has received more or less attention last week from the press of the State. Some of them "told you ho" while neglected to do , bo. The Press and Banner made no prediction as to the result, bat no man In the state is more gratified at the act which wonld seem to discourage this state from engaging In doubtful practice to avoid the payment of Its debts. As we look at It, the state bought great quantities of liquors, the agent* of the State agreeing to pay a prloe much above tb< regular selling price, this was Indeed verj naughty. But did the State lose anything by the liberality of its agentfc? We think not. Instead of selling to the people llquoi at a fair price, the 8tate condemed the dishonest act of the agenta, and proceeded to add not only the excessive cost, but added a per cent to the same, thus joining wltb 1 ? agents In cheating the people, making a .ood profit on the rascality of its accredited agents. The State realized from , th< liquors so bought various sums aggregating about $800,000. With all this money In hand the State refused to pay for the llquoi that brought to Its treasury this large sum. and then has already spent, so another hat estimated more than $50,000 In Its effort U discredit the little wrong doers by whose acts the State realized this great sum. The State tried to plead the sovereignty act, to avoid the payment of its debts, bui > . the Federal Court held that the liquor business was not properly a part of the government, and as a dealer It Bhould be required to pay as other debtors are required to pay. The newspapers express the opinions that the case will be carried from the Federa1 Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court where there Is little doubt that the State will lose out entirely. The receivers that have been appointed by the Federal Court will no doubt get 8 good share of our money for winding up t?em nnn tki. lllo WUID&Qj UUOt UuDB, VW. AUir with expenses already lecurred will amount to a considerable sum. This editor, speaking for himself, hope? tbat South Carolina may yet be made to aoi bonestiy with tbe creditors whom it cheated thirty years ago, and this wish makes as something of a centrallzatlonist, bo that the Washington government may make tbe State fulfill its contract. . The Dedication. Tbe city of Abbeville Is making preparation to feed a great company on Thursday, Octo> ber 1. Be sure to come. This, in all probability, is the last Court house and City hall that will be built in tbe life time of any one living today. And Abbeville wants to see all tbe people of tbe oounty within her borders on tbat day. i Mr. Gilliam is to bave charge of tbe hash factory, and he will give to each guest all tbe hash, potatoes and bread tbat oan be stored away. Abbeville will be glad to meet all ber friends on tbat day. Good speeches, band mualo and other things will add to the pleasures of the day. Abbeville has been to Due West on many of ber big days, and It is especially hoped tbat Abbeville's friends in tbe olasslo city may lena as lae pleasure or ineir presence on that day when the city and the county may unite In happiness at the erection of the city hall and the court house. One o( the best things about the new buildings Is the good feeling which the people of the oounty have about the new structure*. At one time there was some opposition, but now It Is with muoh pleasure that we believe the people are In unit on the matter of the new oourt bouse. i i 1 Link's goods were bought I at starvation prices, and he 1 sells them lower than the lowest. i Mr. Geo. W. Speer. Mr. Geo. "W. Speer of the Monterey Bection ' wan In the city Friday and spent a pleasant , v hoar with the Press and Banner. Next to Geo. Hemphill Mr. .Speer Is one of the best informed men In tbe county. It Is Interesting to bear him relate Incidents ot tbe old times. In speaking of tbe recent flood Mr. Speer related an Incident of tbe flood of May, 1&40. ' ' Judge Ellja Staunton then lived near ' Gray's old mill, about one mile from Mil* 1 wood. Staunton operated a cotton boat to Augusta and was himself a Pilot. During this high 1 water a bouse came floating down Savannah 1 river with a woman andberoblld on top of It. Staunton seeing tbe danger ordered bis negroes into the boat. Tbe negroes refused to go and Staunton made them go. He 1 rescued tbe child but tbe mother was drown- 1 ed before be reached them. Tbe boat men could not stop tbe boat In 1 such a current, so they went on to Augusta. Ga., where tbe child was adopted Into an Augusta family and received a liberal eduoa- ' uuu. This lady now lives somewhere In Edge v field. v ' Various newspapers are predicting Democratic success in November. Tills newspaper does not know bow tbe matter stands, but it really looks to us as If tbe oonstant boasting of Bryan mlgbt have some effect. The Democrats will surely make a better run tbla year than tbey did four years ago. Bp''I 8s . ; Boosters and Kickers. The Intelligencer says a "DooBter Club1' Is needed In Anderson. Abbeville 1b now a unit, and needs no "Booster Club.'' We ran out tbe "kickers" long ago, and we hear nothing more of town defamers. It used to be that an occasional man turned against the town. But not so now. Wnen a man Is not friendly to Abbeville, we do not need him, and he can easily get permission to move on ?r> the* nnrt tnun Wn are bnsv now. and have no room for ktakers. Public Well for Post Holes. The town Council are taking tbe bricks out of tbe well in tbe park preparatory to filling it up. It Is also said that tbe well Is to be taken out, cut up, and sold in small lots for post boles. There Is little doubt that tbe well will be filled with earth, but that part of the story as to retailing It but for post boles needs confirmation. What About Our High School? Some time ago tbe proposition to establish a high school was agitated, and, as far as we are informed, tbe matter has quieted down Abbeville needs to have a grade or two added to her graded school. Tbe advantage of tbe higher grades need not be urged, it Is known of all men. Then why not do something? Messrs. Calvert <fe Nlckles are now putting down the seats in tbe new court room, Tbe seats in the audltoram or tbe tbeatre are down. The grounds in front of tbe court house and the olty hall have been leveled up, and tbe grounds In front look well. Back from Tates. Dr. F. E. Harrison, one of tbe best physicians to be found in America, has been off to Tate Springs in Tenneesee, where be has been drinking health-giving wateis, and resting from bis labors in finances and physics. Gen. M. L. Bonban has been appointed Presldental elector. Tbe Anderson Mall In makings forecast of com Idk political events, predicts that General Bonbam will cast bis ballot for W. J. Brvan. Capt. Billy Smith, the most popular and the be?t known conductor on tbe Southern has completed the fiftieth year of bis service. As to length of service C^pt. Williams, conductor on the Abbeville Branch, is a close second to Capt. Billy, and as to faithfulness of service be is neck and neck with blm. Neither could be exoelled for fidelity to their employer. Dr. Brltt was in town last Mondav. He Is ? Baptist for all the pas; years, and his wl.'e was a good A. K. P. Bbe goes to cburoh with him now. Tbe work of removing the rubbltb from tbe lot on which the hotel was burnt still soe* on, and it is fair to presume that it will be only a short time until the construction be- I gins. l %%%%%%%% %%%% J Come and see your J ? new Court House, $ : ?

FALL A We Pre \ MILLIN T< Wedng # Ni A. M. . NEW EXHIBITS AT THE STATE FAIR October 26 to 30?Prize# for Successful Farmers. One of the best attractions at the State. Fair this year, which will be held In Columbia . beginning Monday, October 26th, and closing Friday, October 30th, will be the Field Crop Department. This new feature will prove of interest to every farmer In the State. It will be under the management of "?? t xt r?iTw>t<-?r of the Clernson Experimental Station, who is op.e of the best agricultural experts in the South. Professor Harper has personally solicited the exhibits for this department, and will arrange everything to advantage. He will be assisted by his whole corps of expert associates, and it will be worth the trip to the fair Just to talk to these expert men and get their ideas on practical farming. Clemson College will have a big exhibit in this department, but will not be allowed to compete with the individual exhibits. Some fine prizes will be awarded the farmers. For Instance, $50 will l e given for the largest yield of corn to the acre. $25 for the second best, and cotton will have the same amount awarded for the best yield per acre. Dozens of other interesting contests have been provided. President Mobley, being a practical stockman himself. Is giving much attention to this part of the fair. There will be more thoroughbreds shown than ever before. The stalls have all been renovated and the pure waier from the city has been connected,4so that the cattle and stock will be well taken care of. This will be good news to hundreds of breeders who might otherwise have hesitated to send their finest to the fair. The poultry show bids fair to be a grand success this year. There *eems to be more interest In every department. The management believes this will be tne largest ana oesi ia.ii ?ver h^ld here. Information as to the prizes#'.vil) be cheerfully supplied by President John" G. Mobley, or Secretary V W. Love, at Columbia. S.
