Valedictory. ^
This morning's issue.of the Press ait/I
lUinncr announces to our readers tnyj*1
withdrawal from the position of co-editor 1 '
and co-proprietor, a position which I havejn;
occupied for over two years. I take tins ; ?
step with graat regret, for my life as an I;1cditor
has been a pleasant one. The pub- j1(
lie of Abbeville County, anil tlio Press, m
both weekly and daily, of South Caro- /'
lina and of neighboring States, havejj '
given me generous support, and shown m
nie unfailing courtesy,?a support which,
as a comparative stranger among I hem
two years ago, I had scarcely hoped to
gain, and a courtesy which, however, is.
ns it always has been, characteristic of
tho people and the Press of South Caro- '
lina. To our readers and to m v brethren Is
of the Press I give most hearty thanks, ?
and bid them a kind farewell. 1 have
tried to do my duty as editor of the Jfr-j'"
bcvillc I'rcss <tn<l Banner, a journal of no j''
mean county, and if at any time I have r'
fallen short of the full measure of a j ^
newspaper editor, lot it be remembered j
that I have been tr^. inv; :tt the same time|j(|
to ad the part of a lawyer as well. It has j t|
often been said that the law is a jealous I'
mistress; it may with as much truth be I
said that the Press is a jealous mistress. (l
A man can no more serve both of them |o|
at the same time than he can servo two M11
masters. This reason alone lias induced ,j
me to forsake the otic and hold to the at
other. ] tl
My relations with my partner, Mr.!'1'
Hugh Wilson, have been of the pleasant- jtj
est. I can think of no better security for t gi
the maintenance of the iYiw.s ami lUinncr j
in its present high position, and 110 higher j "J
recommendation of it to the people of jj
Abbeville County and of the State, than I h;
this?that. Mr. Wilson is still its senior I1'
editor. A successful journalist for many |
years, lie needs no word of praise from j
me. But I cannot refrain from ex- j
9 pressing my strong and honest com-1
inendation of him as an editor without si
"fear and without reproach. With an eve ':l
single to the interests of the people, he has tl
for years jealouslj' guarded their rights! h:
without selfishness and with entire inde- jj11
pendenee. And what lie has done in the ^
past, I am sure lie will continue to do in j
tlio future. In all matters pertaining to [
the business oi an editor, Mr. Wilson j0.
keeps himself abreast with the times, and j
he deserves, if any man in the State de- j'
serves, the honor of being ealled a | (|
thoroughly practical and advanced news- e:
paper man. ! \*<
I leave the editorship and proprietor-! *
ship of this journal in the hauds of Wil-I {,'j
son A Ward law, and I do so with com-'ci
plete confidence in their joint ability to;
ensure a long and honorablo career of j
suocess and influence to the Press
Banner. If there is one thing that can
lessen my regret nt severing my connection
with this office, it is that my successor
as co-editor and co-proprietor is Mr. II. st
Til man Ward law. He is a gentleman so |?<
well known to the people of Abbeville -S1
county, that no introduction from me is pi
necessary. <1'
His connection with this office is suflic- st
ient guaranty to them that the and to
Banner will continue to be the trusty h
guardian of their rights and the faithful (.
exponent of their opinions. I confident- ];,
ly bespeak for him ilie support of the w
people and the kindly courtesy of the
Press. * W. C. 1JKNET.
Commendatory.
I cannot allow mv late partner to leave i
** i T
this office without expressing thus pub-;
licly my sincere regret that lie will no i
longer share with mo its pleasures and ^
troubles, its honors and burdens. In ^
Mr. lienet I have ever found a faith-,P
ful ])artner and a congenial friend. |v
I bid him God-speed in his career.
as a lawyer, and wish him ?ii 1 the!
success which lie so richly merits, j*
ami which an appreciative public will
no doubt award. His talents, scholar-;
ship, and ability arc well known and have j u
been amply proved by his distinguished V
career as an editor. In his chosen pro-jw
fession of the law, in which he is already I '{
not without distinction, his abilities will it
find full and worthy scope; and the;,1.,
faithfulness and independence with j ^
which he guarded the' interests of thej j?
people as an editor will be more than
equalled by the fidelity and zeal with ,
which as a lawyer he will protect the interests
of his clients. His withdrawal '?j
from this ofllce is a loss to ttie l'ress of'?i
the Stsite, but'inasmuch as it will enable i,'-|
him to devote his undivided attention to j
the labors of his profession, I am sure'id
that it will be a gain to the Har. jiU
It Is with great pleasure that I introduce id'
to our readers as Mr. lionet's successor, J'j
jny friend, Mr. II. Tiltnau Wardlaw. I tl

Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in

dvise all who are afflicted with this

For all bilious derangements, and as

WITH A GOOD PRACTICE
IT Is n singular fact, bnt snch is the cftse. I *
do not collect enough money to ferd my
amlly and horse. Consequently I am under
he necessity to stop my country practice and
icll my horse, and decline to see those who
ire disposed to settle their accounts, with the
sromiso of paying "In a Few Days."
This must stop. I will work for those who
Till pay me. but sue and collect what I can
roni those whodo not pay up. This refers also
