??i????M The Press and Banner 4?-Published every Wednesday at 32 a i year In advance. Wednesday, Sept. 26, 1888. ] . ? : Suit AgniiiMt tho Raili-tintf. r We feel quite sure that any report as to the railroad being sued for a large amount of 1 money damages because of the death of ' Major Zelglor 19 erroneous. It cannot be true for the reason that letters of administration have not been granted?an *1 nrenoilent futhp nossibilltv UCIIUU UCWWMiiy r?vw??v-? 4 ? of a suit against the railroad. The exact business of the attorney or other persons who was here last heok investigating the matter Is unknowh to us, but from all that we can learn, we are inclined to the opinion that he was here in the interests 01 ; the road?to ascertain if any blame could attach to the conductor. engineer or other perS, son In the employ of the company. The groat responsibility which the railroads assume In the runniug of their oars, requires that they have constantly in their employ ; the most skillful, as well as the most careful, employees. The slightest neglect or carelessness on the part of any one of those who hold situations on the trains might involve the company in costly litigation for damage to life and property, and hence the action oi each and ev?ry employee Is a matter of 1m portance to tho company. We are not informed as to the character oi the report, II any, that will be made to head, quartern, bat we venture the suggestion that. _ It will be many a day before any complaint frill be lodged against Conductor,Williams or Engineer Svfan. The company cannot have In their employ two men wh o are more care Jul. Mr. Syfan has run the Abbeville Branch train for about thirty-Ave years, and in all that time he has never been charged with the lightestdegree of carelessness In any single Instance. Capt. Williams has not been with us as long as Mr. Syfan, but everybody feel.perfectly safe when he pulls the boll chord. A more polite, conscientious, and obliging conductor, does not run on the road. The Abbeville branch road is all right. No mistake about that. i Mr. P. D. Klugh and Mr. G. \V. Syfan, Jr. are taking lessons under safe preceptors and we are quite sure that the company will never have cause to complain of these faith' ful and trusted young men, who aspire to higher positions In the future. * j The Board of Health. J Jackson, Missfssippl, originated yellow j fever within its own gates. The filthy condi i < Hon of the city left no doubt upon the mlndi- ] of those who remained In charge of the place ] after the refugees had taken llight. Upon i examination, many of the back lots were j found to be In a deplorable condition. While It is not probable that yellow fever < will be an epidemic in our town, yet It is by j no means certain that we may not have cases of tbe disease which is attactlng the attention of the whole country at the present time Filth contributes to its virulence. But granting that we will have no yellow fever in Abbeville we still are subject to a re" < ver which is more to be dreaded, and which Is more fatal?we have typhoid fever. Typhoid fever never comes unlnviled.Wblle it may come upon us unawaren audwithout any known cause, yet there is al. . - ways a cause for it, and that cause is often found in the water \^hich we take from ou J wells, and in the air which wc breathe. I any of our City Fathers, or any of the Health officers will walk our streets after night, we itnji qui id buiu umb iiiey wwi ut iiiij)ies?eu with the fact that there is cause for siekue8^ and death on many of our lots. If there ever was a time when the Town Council and the Health officers should exer else a careful supervision of the sanitary con dltlon of the town, that time is the present. . The unprecedented wet weather, and the ud_ usually filthy condition of our back lots, make It Imperative that all due care be taken to prevent sickness, and every good citizen will lend" his sympathy to any work looking to the good health of the people. The MniU to Columbia. The trains met at the creek noar Ninety-Six last Monday, transferred passengers, baggage, 1 and mails, This was the first mall by that route since the freshet. The treHtlo will bo j finished ftt nn earlv dnv. when trains will run through as aforetlmos. For two weeks the ] newspapers were delaytd?sometimes for - ' days. Owing to the thoughtfulness of the Railroad authorities^! sending our paper round ' by Greenville, we are euabled to print as usual this week. It came In the nick of time. If It had been longer delayed we would have had to print an all-at-home print paper this week. The road will ac?ept our thanks. Another matter in which the Itailroad or the Express authorities, or both together, deserve public thanks is the prompt transportation of express freight for this place from Columbia and elsewhere, and from this place to whatever point, by way of Greenville, or Spartanburg or Charlotte, with only a slight delay from the regular line from Columbia to Abbeville, and at no greater expenses to the Kuipper. wnixo- il may nave been clout* strictly on buslnesu principles, yet the public are do less grateful for the evidence of a spirit to be accommodating as well as eflicicnt. The Jiegro Vote. It seems that an effort will be made to reconsider the action of the Democratic club whereby the Democratic negroes of 1S76 wer deprived of the right to vote in our primary c elections. Notice to that effect will probably be given at the next regular meeting of the club. The Press arul Banner is clcarly of the opinion that those negroes who voted with us In 1876, at a time wheu we needed their help, should not now be disfranchised. The De mocracy made promises to these people which should be carried out, and it seems impolitic not to do so. The number who voted with us in 1876, we believe, is estimated at 1 about three hundred, scattered all over Abbeville county, and for this reason, if for 110 other, they can be of no earthly danger in the > future. The open lug of the flood gates to let id improper persons is quite another thing i from luifllilng our promises to those who were true to us in the hour of our need. - i "" 1 The Georgia, Carolina and Northern Road. > The Chester Bulletin says: "The track layers on the Georgia, Carolina ? and Northern railroad have crossed Fishing Creek, reaching the west side Just before the rains. Since then their time has been given l to repairing Injuries to the track between l Fishing Creek and the Catawba river." we learn tnat tnere is uiik 01 renewing ?c tlve operations on the road at an early day, and that the work will bo changed from the ] Chester end of the road to Atlanta. If work 1 t should be transferred to Atlanta, it seems to ' us that we will not get the road to Abbeville as soon as by the other route. But we should j bo abundantly satisfied to get It at all. The 1 Abbeville people are faithful waiters. They (j may grow weary in wulting, but they never 1 give up. 1 m m j Tho I'liurlAiitikii ynii 0 The Weekly Sun is an excellent paper, .iust j started In Charleston at one dollar a year. It 1 Is eight pages, forty-eight, columns. Subscribers to the Press and Manner can have It at ^ 80 cents. This is a rare opportunity to get a [ good paper at a small cost. Wo hear that work 011 the Carolina, Knox. 1 vllleand Western road has been suspended 1 on the Tennessee end of the line, for the roa" ] son that the contractors have not been palcl. i The work still goes bravely on In South Oaro- > Una. j m ' " 5 Du.

Withthenionl.h of .September, the issuing of pension warrants w!U eease. for the reason that the money has been exhausted. ivo.ooo was appropriated; th? Governor borrowed 150,000 more, and now tho Treasury is empty Again. The whole pension business needs to be revised or cut off altogether. The Statu of <outh Carolina is grateful to hor soldiers, but the people nro.not nble to pay S1.tO.COO or annually to either the widows of old soldiers or to the old soidiers themselves. Governor Richardson did well in not borrowing any more money. He could have almost bankrupted the State by borrowing money for pensions. "Oroccy NprinifJi." By notice iu the local column it will be seen that a respected Doctor of Divinity will preach uext Sunday at "Groggy Springs." Preaching, praise, and prayer at a Groggy Spring! With a proper respect for those in charge, wo suggest that a new.'namc bo substituted for "Groggy Springs." It seems that some of the old Scripture names, if applied, would be more euphoneous and more appropriate. Give the Infant church a Scripture name. SproutiuK (?rn. Let farmers not forget that sprouted corn, if fed to horses and muies, may be fatal. The loss of stock fed on spoiled corn is one of the serious consequences ot an overflow. The Cotton t'roj*. Just now the farmers are bending every energy to the picking of the cotton crop. The fields nre white with the staple, and it seems ?.hnt. t.hA ljiriror n:irt of the croD Will be open at an early Say. Owing to the wet weather marketing of the staple Is lator than was ever known before. we learn from Mr. T. I*. Quarles, cotton buyer, that up to this time, only some 275 bales have been sold in this market, the price for middlings being 9 ceuts. Storm cotton, 7 to 8 cents. The gins at the village are doing some work, but they are not running full time, and when running the dampness of the cottou often makes it exceedingly difficult to run it through the gin. Up to this time there is no market for cotton seed, and the planters are hauling them back home. Nearly all the Reed are black, having the appearance of being injured, and iii.v opo cn wpf. flint, t.hov readllv heat. The sinners request all their customers to take i their seed away. , 1 Tbe Abbeville High School. We are glad to be able to make a most favorable report of the prospects of the Abbeville High School, the new session of which opened on last Monday. The building had l>eeu repaired, carpeted, and otherwise made comfortable and inviting. The Principal, < Mr. J. W. Thomson, and the assistant, Miss fhurston, are fully competent, and possess the desire and tbe determination to give enure satisfaction to the people, who have evilenced their confidence In the school by sending their children. There was almost a rull attendance of scholars on tlio first day, ind It will be only a few da^s until the roll of the school will be full. Parents intending to send their children should do so at once. We are glad to see the present spirit among sur people in supporting a school wbich Is to ( be run on business principles, and which will uand or fall on the merits of the teachers. | Let us stand to the school, aud let it be no longer said that Abbeville lacks educational facilities. For Clerk. Wo have now twelve candidates for Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions. All are good and would make efficient otficeis. The public, as such, will have j nothing to lose In the election of either?the only question is, as to the persenal preference of tlio voters. With twelve candidates in the field where there are only some twenty-eight hundred voters, it will be easily seen that no one candidate will receive a large vote. We believe that some of those whp seem to have a disposition to figure on the result, estimate that auy number of votes over four hundred will put the lucky receiver In the second race. Wo have seen no one who thought that any one candidate could receive over six hundred votes. The majority place the utmost limit | at live hundred Tor any one candidate. , The candidates are actively at work. Every vote will be counted. Dentil of Cuptnlu Woxlcv A. Rliiek. Wesley A. black died at home near Level Laud, last Satiyday, September 22, 188S, after a long illness of paralysis, aged abons years. Captain Black was a graduate of Erskine College, and was always esteemed for his hiffh r?hnr!iolr>r hi? nnhlrt fiml liifc unvarying kindness of heart. He owed no man anytliiug but good will, and ho leaves i many friends who will revere his memory. In all the relations of life he eome up to the 1 full measure of a true manhood, a good citizen, and the head of a family. Knowing that the end was approaching he spoke of the last sad offices that would be performed for him, and asked Dr. Lindsay to preach his funeral. When the end came, a messenger was sent for the Doctor, but he was absent from home. Rev. Mr. Kennel was then requested to perform the dnty which hud been imposed upon Dr. Lindsay. In a I'oNition. Our townsman, Mr. W. T. Branch, Is in 1 luck. He has an oppointment In the service r>l the National Life and Maturity Company A Washington, D. C., and will travel in scv- I eral of the Southern States in the interests of the company. Mr. Branch is eminently jualitied by nature, and by a long experience i In the business to render in valuable services to the company in whose Interests he , will travel. When he goes away, he will not be much with us until the Christmas holidays. Good luck and good health attend Mr. Branch. He deserves well, and we have no doubt his success will be commensurate with his merits. <?iinrniitii?e. At the suggestion of a number of our citizens the Town Council met last Saturday to take steps to prevent yellow fever patients and persons from the Infected districts irom to coming town. reiugee from Fiorida. ijlio was hustled away from the depot. While It Is quite possible to have cases of yellow fever, there would seem to be no dimmer of an epidemic. The danger 1s lu receiving among us infected persons, or healthy persons whose clothing may be infected. Editorial Visitor. Mr, J. C. Hemphill, of the News and Courier dropped in on us for a minute Inst night, but, almost before we had a good look at him ho would be away. Mr. Hemphill Is one of the chief editors ol the News and Courier, this i fact being tho best evidence to his old friends at Abbevill that he is a man of merit and worth, and that in his adopted home in the metropolitan city he is reflecting credit on the home of his birth. We are sorry that we > could'nt see more of him. lie came up on a . run to see his mother at Due West, to tell her good-bye before she takes her departure ! for the home of her daughter who lives in a listant State. 1 Don't forget the grand opening to day at ' R.
