Our metropolitan neighbor, the Xew.t and ^ Courier, seems to go into ecstaeies over the ap- j pointment by President Cleveland ot Govern- j or Thompson to the office of Assistant Secre- j tary of the Treasury. That paper;prints some | three or four columns of leaded matter, in! reference to the "honor" which has thus been conferred on South Carolina. When it is remembered that, merely as a place ol honor,') It is not superior to the office of Governor, we I are amazed that so much ado should be made; about so small a matter. Wo believe the pay of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, is I only about SI.'xiO a year, and we further believe that there arc dozens of appointments that are superior to that of Assistant Secretary. Then, is South Carolina so much reduced that the State is specially "honored"' if one of her citizens gets a tenth-rate appointment at Washington? We repudiate any such idea. While saying this, we congratulate Govern-' or Thompson on his appointment. We arej ?:lad that he lias received it, and we know that | our people arc glad of it on account of himseli more than for themselves. His time as Gov-, crnor for the second term is nearing its close, and although he has made a good Governor, it Is not to be expected that he could be again re-elected. There are other citizeus who would fill the olfice us well as he does, and it is nothing but right that there should be a i change. The wliolo thing may be told in a few words. The people of South Carolina re-1 upect Governor Thompson, and have the J kindest feeling for him. For these rea" I . sons they are delighted that lie has been pro- | vided for at Washington. If his appointment | to the offlce of Second Assistant Secretary of j the Treasury Is a great "honor" to .South Car- j ollua, then we arc greatly mistaken. Governor Thompson's spotless life, and unlmu? ? plt.lzon. ns a teacher 1 iii our schools, and Governor of the State is an honor to South Carol!mi. but his appoint montto office in Washington is merely evidence of the President's high appreciation of , his personal worth. Only this and nothing wore. | Butler and Plumb. We sec that Senator Butler has exhibited a good deal of temper in replying to a speech of Senator Blurnb. South Carolina Senators are i ever gallant in the defence of the State, and of the South, and the country feels grateful to ( them for it, but it really seems to lis that if ' - ?South Carolina Senators would seek to take a j greater part in the legislation of the country, , that the debt of gratitude would be equally as i great. The SSouth, conscious of the rectitude ' of her course, need notstop to put her heel on , every viper that would slander her. ? Ills Jugular Vein Was Cut. | T,ast Monda> morning, Ilenrv Adams and t Spencer Cothran, both colored, got into a < difficulty about the wife of the latter. From I all accounts, it seems that Henry Adams was ; f the aggressor. Blows had passed, after which I Spencer Cothran drew his knife and cut Hen- < ry Adams in the neck? the stab being down- I ward, severing the jugular vein and piercing Ike lung to the depth of an inch. The diffl- | ctilty occurred on or near the farm of Mr. i <?. A. Douglass In the incorporate umiis 01 the town, a little after daylight on Monday morning. After being cut, Henry Adams walked to his home oil Mr. John Douglass's place, a distance of about a mile and a half, when he lay down and died about half-past nix o'clock, or some two hour.s-und-a-half after receiving the stab. Dr. Gary aud Dr. Neuffer were sent for as experts They express the opinion that Unwound was necessarily fatal; that it was beyond the power of human skill to have saved his life, even if the best of surgeons had been pro?ent at the moment of tlfe wound. Great wonder is expressed that Adams should have lived as long as he did. and that he was able to walk a# far as he did. Both men are aged about twenty-five years, mid both are married. The sympathy of the people seems to be against the dead man, who it is said acknowledged, alter being cut, tint he was in fault. It is also reported that he had said onlv a few days ago. thateitlier he or Spencer Cotliran would be dead in less than a week. ..After the difficulty Spencer Cothran went to work In the field, and was hoeing cotton when he was summoned lo testify at the Coroner's in lurst. He Is now In jail, Out we learn that mi effort will be made to got bail for him after the preliminary exuminclion. Col. 0. T. Calhoun has beeu employed to defend him. Death. William MoGowan Benet, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. \V. C. Benet, died in Spartanburg, - July 3,1836, from teething, aged one year and teu days. All that tender hands or loving hearts could do was done to save tho life of this beloved child. In the hope that a change of air would be of benefit, its parenls started to the mountains with it, but it grew worse, and died at. the linio and place ns above stated. Much sympathy Is felt and expressed by i ?nr n?inl? fur the hereaved DarentS. The ftl- I Herul services were hold at tlie house of Judge McCiowun, in the presence of ninny sympatniziug friends. The remains were buried at Upper Long Cane. The Crops. The ontlook for the crops nt present is not promising We have lu?d a season of unprecedented rains. Much of t lie bottom Unds have been ruined, and nearly all of the crops i h:ive been destroyed. The cotton in many places Is overrun by grass, but It is hoped t lia much more of it will yet be worked. In s<*me instances whole fields have been abandoned t ? grass. The situation demands the greatest energies of our people to save many of them from bankruptcy. To be Married. Mr. It. E. Hill is off to Baltimore, where he is to wed Miss Mattie A. Ward of that city tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. We extend congratulations in advance, and wish the contracting parties a full share of the happiness which they anticipate. Cotton Blooms and Leave**. Col. J. R. Calhoun sent to this office Inst ! Friday several cotton blooms and cotton leave.s. They were uncommonly large, measuring nine inches in diameter. The leaves and blooms were from May planting. Warillaw'N Bridge Is finished. , Mr. GcorgeS.

"\Vc are in recclpt of a circular letter from the officers of the South Carolina State Press Association, under date June 2-5, 188G, from which we copy tlie following items of inter, est to the editorial fraternity : "The twelfth annual session of the South Carolina State Press Association will be held in Spartan burg 011 Tuesday. July 13. ISMS, at Slip. m. and it is sincerely hoped that every editor or publisher in the State will, if possible. be present. "Considerable time will be devoted to a discussion of matters pertaining to journalism. "Col. John \V. K. Pope, of the Coltimbiu Jtrpister, is the annual orator, with Capt. M. L. Ron ham, Jr., of the Abbeville Messenger, as alternate. "The first object of the Association is business. A definite programme has not yet been 1 arranged, but the following topics have been ! named for discussion at this meeting: "1. Regulation of foreign adyertlsiug?agencies and pricc-s. "2. The editorial. The local. "4. The subscription list. "5. The effector sensational publications upon the morals of our country. "G. The Press as an educator?its responsibility for the moral status of the rcadiug world. "7. Is it expedient for, or encumbent upon, newspapers to pu&llsh news items of doubtful moral purport. Readv nrlnts. "D. Will .vou not prepare n paper on one of; the topics named, or 011 one wtiieh you shall yourself choose?" For the want of something else to do, we will reply briefly, through the Press and Banner, taking up the questions separately, as they are enumerated: 1. Foreign advertisements can and should be "regulated" by excluding them from our papers. As a rule, we get almost no pay for them, and such us we publish, have a tendency to lower the standards of Journalism. The editor tlmt publishes In his local or reading column a certificate as to the efficacy of a patent medicine, gives a certificate about something of which lie knows very little, if anything at all. Those editors whose opinions! are not a pnrchasablecomir.odity,should not, in our opinion, publish patent medicine notices as editorial or local matter. We cannot afford to publish other advertisements for the reason, ttiat when a five dollar advertisement for twelve months is received, the agency requires a copy of the paper to be sent?the subscription price of which is generally S2.00. 2. The day for long-essays in the editorial columns has passed. Short comment is what is needed. 3. Too little attention Is paid to local innt-1 ters. The value of a local newspaper consists | in the amount of matter which itfontains! that Will interest the people of the particular locality in which it is printed. Itoften occurs that even matters which are mentioned, are not as fully and as carefully written up 11s they shot) id be. 4. Of course we know very little about the suuscnpuon list 01 any newspaper, e.wpi i the Press and Banner, but from statements which \vc see about the circulation of country ucwspajiers, we are led to believe that the printers ot such papers send out a great many :omplimeutary copies, or else they huvo a ireat many subscribers who do not pay. Our jwn opinion is, if (he circulation of country newspapers was reduced In many Instances to one-half, and in other instances to one-third af the present circulation, and the amount of money thus saved in paper were expended in type-setting, Hint there would soon be a (food snowing on the financial side of the business. Our newspapers should be made so full of lo:al news matter, that there will be a demand Tor them. When this is done no more will be j said of the duty of the people to support home printers. A paper which is filled up by j rllppiugs from other papers is worth but, lit-i Lie. 5. It Is not so much the effect of sensational )ubHcations upon the morals of ottr country, is the effect that such publications has upon ,hc stanoing and respectability of our newsmpers, that demands our attention. Our itanuards of morality, virtue and truth ihould be the highest. Then we will attain lie largest degree of usefulness and exercise lie greatest Influence on the public morals, md thereby gain the largest reward in money. 6. The Press as an Educator wields a powerul influence for good or evil. For this reason, he newspaper should use the best language jossible. No writer for the press is excusable vho does not under the circumstances <lo the jest lie can at all times. The editor who >rints articles, the chief merit of which is heir uugrammatical sentences and misspelt vords, nut only commits an offence against he language which it prints, but at the same Ime degrades the newspaper Itself in the esimatlon of the public. 7. We do not know what is meant by the leventh proposition. There are, according to >tir way of thinking, very few "news items of j loubtful moral purport." We would say, t hat. t is more often tl?e manner of reporting the ?e\Vfi that is of "doubtful moral purport." Too many reporters and editors give certltt:ates of character when reporting occurences, and too many give irrelevant slateuents, which should not be printed. 8. With the present sharp competition in he business, we regard trie use of ready irlnt?d sheets as essential to success, and bcievo that the competitor who uses ready>rints and expends the same amount of enerry and business tnet. as the all-at-home prin,er does, will ccrtainly win In the contest for >ubli? favor. No all-at-home printer can sompete with a neighbor who uses readyprints. All else being equal, the man who 18C8 ready-prints is bound to win. Printers, like other people, must keep pace with the march of Improvements. U. Under this heading we would speak tgalnst the use of large type, and against the using of two fonts in printing our newspapers. It is much more dlfllcuit to print a newspaper on two fonts than one. A sheet! printed on one font of small type looke bet-1 Ler and contains more matter, and It Is more i agreeable to the eyesight if all the print is of [lie same size. The change from one size of | type to another hurts the eye of the reader, j 10. A six-column paper printed 1u good non- ] parell.is inoredesirable than an eight-column j paper, containing the sameamountof matter, i <et in long primer. Another advantage in the IV /?/?! M ?-?. ?-? nnnnn io cin'lnn In t vnn UMcl Lite savin*; in paper. The small paper, too, is innre acceptable to the reader. As long prirnt;r and brevier were the standards la the past, so nonpareil is bound to become the standard of the future. OUR REVISED LIST. Another Lot of (io?<l Men who Should be Iteniembered on the 21st I?ny of Aa^uvt. Last week we published a list of the candidates, who sought the votes of the readers of the Press and Manner at the ensuing primary i election on Saturday, August 21, 1*8<>. We have now an additional list of names to pre-1 Kent to our readers for their consideration. While we have nothing at ail to say against | those who do not seek the voles of the readers j ' >f the Prvsx ami Ilminer, we take pleasure in i calling attention to the names of those candidates which appear in our paper. We would | say nothing in unkinduess or others, but we j would recommend our list. Sure enough,Capt, J. N. King is a candidate for County Commissioner. He is worthy and t well nualHled. Give him a liberal vote, and I thereby do yourself good all the days of your life. Cnntain It. .T. ltobinson. so well and so fa-1 vorably knuwn to the people of Abbeville, iind so inuch respected and beloved by them for his nobleness of character, and for his tine ability and excellent education is a candidate lor a seat in the Legislature. No belter man i?r truer citizen than Captain Hob. Itobinson lives within the limits ot" Abbeville cou ity. He will be generously supported at the primary election. Dr. George H. Waddcll is well known to our people as an educated gentleman, possessing tiie great natural endowments, which p re-en?inontly qualify him for the otticc of Legis lator. >Ie would make as good a Legislator as can be found in the county, and we presume no word of commendation from the Piv*?r and Manner would add to his fame or to his! already great popularity with (he people who I know him and appreciate his sterling worth.1 Capt. \V. A. Moore of Cokcsbury Is one of| Abbeville county's good men, who is solicit itig the votes of the people. He is a candi-l date for the Legislature. Having made aj fortune at farming, he is ?>y practical ex per- j iencc fully aware of the needs of that class of oureitizens to which lie belongs, and upon which the country depends. Mr. Mooro possesses may excellent qualities which will commend him to the voters of the County. We are only surprised that t he Farmers' Club [ did not endorse him on Sale Day. Get your j ticket ready and vote" for W. A. Moore for a ' seat In the House of Representatives. Mr. W. II. \Vhillock of New Market, Is nl candidate for County Commissioner. He Is! one of tne most practical men In Abbeville' county, and would make a splendid County J Commissioner. He has had much experl-, enceand observation, which together with] the talent and the disposition would enable him to discharge the duties of the otlice In] such a way as to please the public with his! fidelity, ellicioncy, and energy. l lit' name 01 a. w. .tones is numMim-rn in this week's issue as u candidate lor County Auditor. Our friend "Dolph .Jones," would fill that ofllee efficiently and satisfaetoriiy to the people. Mr. Jones inherits it) a largo degree the business capacity of his father the late ltobert Jones who was universally esteemed by the people of Ahhcvillo county, and who tilled most, acceptably the otlicc of Shci ill'and County Commissioner. Th* taxpayers of Atiheviiic county would rind in him a most excellent County Auditor. The laee braid bat. Thlssliapo will become immensely popular before the season is over.
