The Press and Banner. AUBEVILLE, S.C. P Wednesday, Sept. 8, 1886. I XciVborr.y's Jealousy. The Democrats of Abbeville say tlieyonly want two more places for Abbeville duriii<; |! the present year. They would like to have ' - "- .I ? tor Congress ami I .1 llUgl- \ Mr. Parker elecU-U judge, ami unless there! should be another vacancy, they will try to |' j>tir up with theSuperintendcntof Kducation, .Xdjiitan'. ami Inspector tiencral, I'ongressln.iii ami .fudge. They arc certainly very modest. Why not demand the whole thing.? JXcwbcrry I/cruhi and .Yei'-s. As far as we arc Informed, our neighbor Is mistaken In saying that "the Democrats of| Abbeville wiy they only want two more places J lor Abbeville during the present year." They | only want to keep the places they now have. Of course the Xescbtrry Herald and Xeivtt oh. jects to any Abbeville man going to Congress for the reason that that paper desires the place for one of Newberry's citizens. Newberry, Ablicville and Anderson have each 'oandidates In the race. Would the llcrald and Sews rule Mr. Bcnet and Judge Cethran off the track merely for tho reason that they live In the central portion of the Congressional District? Why raiso the question of tjeorgraphy at all? Why not let the people vote for their choice in the matter ? Wo feel x ,nrtr;irv would sure maiuui-? ??. ?uv-i .. Hoi Kay to Judge Cothran or Mr. Benet, "You shall not run for Congress. Wo want to send n Newberry man to the capital." If the Herald and yews cannot defeat the Abbeville can. didateson their merit?by the superior merit of its own candidate? \vc hope that It will not attempt to do so on a question of geography. Wo are at a total loss to know why the Hc>\ aid and 2fcws should object to Mr. Parker's candidacy for the office of Jutlg". It is a matter of no concern whatever to the citizens of Newberry who Alls the office of Judge in this Judicial District, of which Newberry is no part at alU We cannot see why Abbeville should be blamed for gettliii; the State .Superintendent of Education. Abbevlllle has not had a State office in forty years?not since Governor NoMo held office. Col. ltlce received his appoint- ( inent from the State Convention at which Newberry had delegates. If the convention j did wrong to give the place to Mr. Itice, then , why not explain wherein that body erred? Where Is the justice of ccnsurlng Abbeville candidates for what the State Convent Ion . did? Why does not the Herald and A'eics -liold the Newberry delegates to an account for the sin of voting for so good a man as James II. Rice? The Executive Committee In their wisuom i tchosuto give the place to General lionham. | Surely Abbeville was not to blame forj :thct. We had 110 representative on that committee. Newberry has a member of that committee who was present at the elect Ion of Uen crftl lionham. Perhaps If the ITcrahl and ' jVeM? would call on him he might learn some, thing of the motives that prompted that committee in their action. We have heard that the committee desired to punish Capt. Farley for voting against the citadel or something of that sort. After disposing ot Lim.wehave heard it Intimated that Mr. J. Q. Marshall was punished because of his vote in the State Convention for Dr. Maulden for Lieutenant Governor. All of this may be true*, or none of it may be true. We neither assert nor deny, but we huvo heard such intimations. We trust our neighbor may not lire all his shots at Abbeville. Spite at Abbeville will iiardly gain votes tor a Newberry inan. tiipi. I iirn-j .1 jii-uvK Tapt. Hush S. Farley, of Spartanburg, candidate for the offlceof Adjutant and Inspector <Jenenil, has written a letter which appears In the newspapers, in which he attacks the Executive Committee generally, and Cupt. F. W. Dawson and W. H. Brawley, Esq., in r-irticular. While it is true that Gen.-Manlgault secured the nomination in the State Convention by a vote of only six majority over Cop- ( tain Farley, and while it is also true that many persons in tills State think that after General AJanigault's death, Captain Farley for the reason of the high vote which he received in the Convention should have receiv- < vd the appointment from the Executive Com- , mlttee, yet the verdict of the public will very likely fail to endorse Captain Farley's course In writing the letter of which we speak. In the ttrst place, we do not see what he could write, which would help him. ( In the next place, alter having determined to write a letter he induced in it much which Ave tbinlc should have been omitted. The personal references to Messrs. Dawson and Brawley are such as to bo offensive to the reader. ( While we think there was good and sub- , stantial reasons for Captain Farley to com- , plain, yot we hardly think, because the coin- , mltteeerred, that tliis fact gave him reason to , make a personal attack upon the character , and motives of any member of that commit- j tee. If the vote of the State Convention is , worth anything at all, and If the vote of 106 | members means anything, it would seen) that Captain Farley was entitled to the place after , the death of his competitor, who received only 162 votes. But the committee thought oth- { crwise, and elected another, to whom we ac- | *'ord full credit for ability and efficiency to fill | the office as well as it could be filled. We are , ? Avilllng to accord each and every membe r of , that committee perfict honesty of purpose, , and have no doubt they had the public good solely in view when casting their respective votes, but for all this, we think the will of the people, as expressed in convention, has been overridden by the action of the Executive AJomsnittce. . Congressional Primary Election. The Convention at Seneca lat-t Wednesday unanimously adopted the primary plan of choosing Congressmen from the Third Con- 1 grcsslonal District. The Convention in the Fifth Congressional District has also adopted the sume plan. It will thus be seen that the ' Pconle are beginning to think, and to be more self-assertive. They are becoming tired ofI bos* rule, and as they become thoroughly alive to their own Interests, they will abolish the Convention plan in every instance. Without a sinple dissenting vote, the Scne. caConvention resolved to submit the choice of a Congressman to the people. Wc think there was a general demand for this action, ?ud we think Mr. Henet's action in seconding the will of the people has been clleetive and useful. 1 r" ( The Earthquake in AVImmlioro. "Everybody laughs now ami has a little j; Joke, but nobody but an ignorant person j? could look upon the tiling without some mis- j | glvlngs."? Winnxbont Xcics and Ilerald. The number of brave men In Abbeville,[| who were not scared at the earthquake, will! never be kuown. Although it would seem, i when tlio creator of thy universe choices t.o|| shake the earth that It might be well for his I I -creatures to remain silent before him,or at!' Seast to Kivo no expression of contempt for ' I A he Power that eouiil cause his footstool open | iiiid swallow them, yet the number of se!f-siif| Helen! bouU who were not afraid on Tuesday!: Inight would make an innumerable earavan < I -?>f pilgrims who would not quake or fear even | At Death's alarm. It really seems to us that the Nmtthcrn Pre.*- j | bj/teri'jii has for a year devoted more of its ed- j i itorial spiice to the defence of James "Wood-( row's heresy about evolution than to thoad-1 vanceuicnt of the church or to the couver-'1 slou of .souls to the saving grace of our Lord ( and Saviour Ji sus Christ. U: "" " "" i The 4ongres:sio?j?l Itnrc. AN'e arc authorized to state that Mr. IJciiet 1 vill not be a candidate for Congress at the'< ?' coining election. M The Congressional Ritrr. The Seneca City Convention last week adopted the primary plan of electing a Con-j pttv^sman, and arranged for a scries of public; meetings throughout the Congressional l>istriet. ll is useless for us to say tiint we are in j liearty sympathy with this plan of choosing Congressmen. The aggregate wisdom of the people is more likely to represent tlie wish of the country than it is possible for a convention to do. This country belongs to the peo. pie, and we believe in allowing every citizen the opportunity of giving expression to his own wishes. Kaeh citizen lias-the right to one vote, and wo favor any plan which secures him that right. Hy the convention plan, a few men arc endowed with authority j to cast many votes. \V'c have no information on thosubjoct but it is presumed that the candidates will address tlr.< people on National politics at the places and times designated below: At Pickens, Friday, Mill September. At Easley, Saturday, 11th September. At Seneca, Monday, 13th September. At Walhalla, Tuesday, litli September. At Andersen, Wednesday, loth September. At Honea Path, Thursday, 10th September. At Abbeville, Saturday, 1stli September. At Greenwood, Monday, 20th September. At Newberry, Tuesday, 21st September. At Prosperity, Wednesday, 22d September. Our Kailroa<ls. The friends of the Chester, Greenwood ami j Abbeville Railroad arc meeting with every encouragement. Interest in the enterprise seems to be increasing all along the line. A few days ago, a committee was appointed to secure signers of real estate toa petition praying the County Commissioners to order an election for a levy ot throe per cent, on our texable property. Messrs. T. C. Seal and L. \V\ l'errin arc oil' to-day to attend a meeting of the Directors of the road?at Cross Hill, we believe. The friends of the Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad are actively at work under the inspiring influence of President ISowen. He has called on the citizens of Aiken for private subscriptions to the amount of ten 1 !><> usand dollars. A partial canvass of the town had secured four thousand ."dollars up to yesterday, and it is believed the remainder of the ten thousand dollars can bo se-1 cured. The road lias many warm friends in Aiken, and some of those who have already subscribed liberally, promise to double their subscriptions, if ncccssary to secure the building of the road. If enough money can be si cured to commence work, the Aikenites lire satislied the road will be built. - - ^ i > More Primary Election*. In addition to the election of Congressman by the people, it is a'so suggested that the voters be allowed to elect their own School Trustees intho dliferent townships. If tlie people may elect a Congressman why may they not eloct a School Trustee ? There is no offlccr in the Government that comes more directly in contact with the people than docs the School Trustee. He is endowed with large discretionary powers in locating schools, in employing teachers, and in expending a large amount of money, which comes more directly to the people than any other fund. The time for partiality in locating schools, if any ever existed, has passed. The Trustee should look to the people, rather than to an ir onvohllilmn linv-o ImhUI excluded from the schools, their psirotits should bo allowed to right their wrongs at the ballot box. If any partiality has been shown In the distribution of the public fund, those parents who have been Injured should be al_ lowed to vote for a fairer and a better Trus. tee. The heart is sick, tho head is faint, and this wholo business needs a general shaking up?a political earthquake. An Extraordinary Offer. J. H. Bates, advertising agent, 41 Park Row New York, sends us the following oiler: "Xkw York, August 28th, 1S80. . "Publisher of Press and JUni iter, Abbeville, <S'. C.

Tho advertisement will make one inch. The pay S3.IX) less ?i.2"> commissions, and 52.00 subscription, leaving S1.75 to publish the advertisement of a swindler for a wholo year. In our opinion, no newspaper should admit tho advertisement into its columns at any price, and the newspaper which would work it the prices indicated by Mr. Dates, in his of(er, places a cheap value on his work indeed. TliaiileOifcriiiK. In consideration of the fact that this people escaped unhurt by the recent earthquake, would it not be well for thedifferent churches to take up n thank-offering next Sunday morning, to be sent to the sufferers in Charleston? This could be given as evidence of our gratitude to the Great Killer of the universe for his protecting care in saving us harmless in body and estate at a time when others suffered so severely. We learn that Mr. MeUowan is soliciting subscriptions for the Charleston sufferers, anu wc hope that tHe pastors of the different churches may offer him whatever collections they may take up next Sunday morning, and we hope that every one may be willing to ?ive something, even if it be necessary to deny himself of something which may be done without. rhe Will of the I'cojile Should Govern. .. . . A . \ arums suggestions as 10 uic uangcr oi suomitting tliv Prohibition question t<> the people have been made, hut a friend makes a suggestion that the matter he decided by the Democratic voters. t,et the friends and opponents of the law in each club secure signers to petitions for or against the law, as their inclination may dictate, and then let the Legislature be governed by the will of the majority. If a majority want the sale of whisky continued, then let the law stand as it is. But if a majority arc in'favor of Prohibition then let the Legislature pass a prohibitory law for Abbeville county. If tho matter is settled by petition of members of the different elubs, then the will of the Democratic voters will be expressed. This seems to us to be the best method of settling the question. What say the people? The Speech of W. ('. Moftownn, I'sq.

' How to Help Without Giving. i yews and Courier. ] From every part of South Carolina and of the United States come oilers o'" assistance!1 and tho assistance Itself. Tlio generosity of1 ] the people ol the United States has neveri1 been more fully or more opportunely demon-!1 slrated. There Is, however, a loss which Is ! pot provided for in the donations that have.1 been made, and there is a way of helping 1 Charleston which has not been generally,1 adopted. With the assistance of our fellow-country-] men, Charleston will be able, no doubt, to pro-11 vide food and shelter for those who have been 1 rendered homeless by the earthquake, and!] will be able, perhaps to assist in a proper j" way those whose houses need repairs which j' jare beyond the means of the owners and oc- j' cupants. But, behind this, there is the neees-1 slty of continuous help?help that will go on ?* I from iinv to iisiv. mid froiu month to month!' , and from year to ycur. [' I Only such help as this will be of permanent } (advantage, and will citable Char eston lo| make good the frightful losses which have:1 ' been sustained. This is what the New York '1 | Herald meant when it so wisely declared that11 no sister city should strive to lake advantage J (of any interruption of Charleston's trade, and that all who deal with this city, especial-; I . ly t he business men of the North, should IJ double their orders instead of discontinuing j J J or diminishing them. The same thought was ' j in the minds of the business men of Beaufort, ( South Carolina, when they dutermiued that ' j they would give even more than their usual j 1 business to Charleston because of the needs of ; J the city at this time. i1 1 By giving business to Charleston, when I there is no loss by so doim?; by giving the J preference to Charleston, when the eommer- 1 . cial oomlitions are about equal; the public ' I can soon put the city in position to "pluck ij this Mower, safety out of this nettle, danger." j J 1 With especial emphasis can we say this to the ' ' 'I'hm* <hmvii < unit still show their sympathy with us, ami ' the warnii.h of their affection. by thesiibstan-j 1 tial help itlrcmly (iivon to Charleston. Hut. they can help us still more ami still better by . J | trading with lis by sending their cotton ami J j naval stores to this market, and bv buying!' here, in return, the supplies, the clothing, the 1 ;groceries, the inacliinery. and every oilier } commodity they require. They can be put on 1 as good terms lierens they can tind anywhere I else, and their business, their trade, will on- 1 sure the rapid and thorough restoration of,') [ Charleston. We trust that (his appeal will he hearkened j1 to, for, as was said in the beginning, there is", no expectation that public contributions will J cover<"harleston's loss, though they will bo.t sublimely ellicacious in alleviating sutlerlng; and miti^atiiiK distress. More business, thai] means of making more money, will put| Charleston on its feet avalii, and without any loss to those who deal with us or any loss to' ourselves. 11 CHEERED BY CHARITY.
