The Press and. Banner ABBEVILLE, 8. C. Published Every Wednesday by The Press and Banner Company W. W. Bradley, W. K. Bradley, President. Vice-President W. T. Walker, Secretary and Manager Wednesday, Oct. 2, 1912 ; ANOTHER MILL. . Today the people of Abbeville will be afforded an opportunity to secure for their town another cotton mill. It is needless for us to expand upon the need of such an institution and the material benefits which will fol low the successful establishment ol another mill, for they are well known. The meeting to be held at the city hall tomorrow, at 11:30 should be well attended; and all interested in the growth ami progress of the town should make their subscriptions just as liberal as possible. The opportunity is here, what are you going to do with it? Make YOUR presence felt at the meeting by your checkbook. THE INVESTIGATION. The work of the sub-coin in ittee, so, ? - far as we have been able to see from, the published reports, appears toj have unearthed nothing like naonu-j ' mental fraud. According to Th?1 Daily Mail, the result in Anderson,; where it was charged the greatfstj amount of fraud had beeu commit-j ted, developed some seventy-odd names, apparently duplicated on th< 11 l* i. L..1 ~ iXl ,1 U.. 1 I poii iihis, oui tuiiuavus imve utri1 produced to show that many of thew could be accounted for by two men 01 c the same name. The disappearance of the poll lisb in Orangeburg seems shrouded ii mystery. The election in that coun ty had been declared clean and it seems strange that any one should want to make way with them if sucl were the case. All in all, the work of the commit tee appears not to have unearthe< i sufficient fraud to change the result, and there seems nothing left for thi V f whole committee to do but declan Governor Blease the nominee. . WOOED BUT NOT WON. Mr. Roosevelt advises us that as long as the South remains "solid," so long will it be debarred from it* full share in the nation's government. Many people in the South have be lieved the same thing for a long time, but the tear of a divided white peo ple appealing to the negro vote h still a powerful deterrent to the breaking up of the old order. But, even were the South read\ and willing to break up Mr. Roo?e velt has nothing to offer it. Those Southerners who have a leaning away from the Democratic fold are more attracted to men of the Taft type and are more in sympathy with the section of the Republican party which Mr. Taft represents than with the radical element represented by Roosevelt. The South today is more solid than it was four years ago. It sees victory in sight, victory long-deferred but sweeter for this very reason, and it is not going to turn loose the substance j for tlie shadow. And anyway the South prefers to "bear the ills we have rather than fly to those we know not of." . A NEW COVENANT. To many it may appear rather strange that some of the Irish people are ready to refuse the home rule which, after years of political strug gle, . is about to be accorded by the British government. * The news dispatches convey the in formation that the Orangemen ol Ulster have signed a solemn cove nant never to be ruled by an Irish parliament. These Ulsterites are, to a great ex tent, the descendants of the Scotch (!nvennntprs unrl inherit the iiulnm itable will and unfailing courage of | which those ancestors were possessed i and which, despite all obstacles, 1 made Scotland forever Protestant. { The province of Ulster, which em- j braces practically all the North of Ireland, contains a population of practically two millions, at least hall of whom are Orangemen, as the Pro testants are called in contradistinction to the Kibbonmen, the name given those of the Catholic persuasion. The province of Ulster and partic ularly the county of Antrim, in which lies Belfast, is the most pros perous part of Ireland, being the seat of the greatest linen industry in the world. Cotton and other textile in dustries tlourish, but the prominent industry is flax-growing and linen making, in which this section out strips the world. During the reign of Charles I the Irish were driven from th'i section and the lands taken up by English and Scotch. Since then Ireland has witnessed a constant conflict between ;hese two factions, so divergent in general characteristics, as well as in religion, and with little common in terest. Many have regarded the dif ferences between the Irish as due en tirely to the difference of religion, but it is deeper than this. It is a dif ference of races, the difference be tween the conquered and the con queror, and so bitter has been the en mity engendered that its outcrop pings have often and often culmi nated in the bitterest of street tights between the opposing factions. In these street fights, which were in J..1* 1 : i .? .,.1. V... ;.,ri:.,!^nnla LlUlgtTU 111 IIUl W I1IUC11 UJ liiuuiuunu as by bodies of men parading and i*ounter-parading, the schillalah (a short, stout cudgel made of black thorn) was the deadliest weapon used, but the measure of its effective ness was often attested by the broken skull of an over-enthusiastic "Mick ey" or "Bloody-far-doon." The Protestant inhabitants of Uls ter are loyal to the English govern ment and fear nothing so much as the rule of their own countrymen, be cause, in the provinces outside of Ulster'the real Irish predominate, :ind any home rule government will oe practically in the hands of the Catholics, which are largely in the majority taking the island as a whole. ? -r rt.wl ine province 01 uiBier, uuu paiwt ularly th county of Antrim, contrib uted quite largely to the population of South Carolina. For this reason the present disturbances in Ireland, will be watched with more than passing interest. A MARK'S JJEST. Mayor Gibbes of Columbia un earthed a mare's nest when he per ceived a scheme to advance Mr. un<v.,A.,/vU)o nnUfwtal ivMtfnnoc Kir in.

If any inter ests would be advanced by such an invitation it would be those of Col ombia, which would benefit by the increased attendance which theCol >nel'a presence would attract. The Columbia mayor's refusal to endorse die invitation was not in accord with South Carolina's reputation for hos pitality and is unwarranted in tin jircu instances. ?JL?KK EXAMINATION POST-OFFICE SERVICE Place of Examination, Abbeville, S. c.
