' | The Press aad Banner By HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, April 23,1890. . ILTho Democratic Campaign. The Interview wllliColonel Hoyt,Chairman of the State Executive Committee, will be read with interest. From that interview it will be seen that Die Executive Committee do not intend to lend their Influence to the correcting of any of the evils of which a number ot our people have complained for years. The basis of representation in both the Legislature and the nominating convention does not give satisfaction. It is an undisputed fact lit ,.t Charleston holds several seats in the Legislature to which she is not entitled. The holding of these seats to which that city is not entitled, gives her the advantage of twice as many unlawful seats in the Nominating Convention. On former occasions the Press and Banner and others have protested against giving this unfair advantage to Charleston, and we have remarked on the fact that our own men and brethren would take such an advantage of us, ' *"? (Ka <vmn?rv delecates even aumuuuK mm, ? lacked self-respect enough to demand equal representation in both the Legislature and the nominating convention. When a primary was asked the same old stereotyped reply has always met us, and now meets us, "the Constitution." Well, now, we propose that the Democratic party hold a political Convention, to learn the will of the people. We know that the executive committee must abide by the law, but we submit that it Is partisan for the chairman of that committee to argue the question. It Is the duty of that committee to obey the will of the people as fouud in the Constitution, but it is also their duty to throw no obstacle iu the way of the people If they seek to change that Constitution. The State Executive Committee are not responsible for the Constitution, and they should not use their official station to forestall or head off any desired change In that document. If the people are tired of giving Charleston excessive representation, It Is the duty of the committee to listen to their appeals, as they would receive information on any other subject which might meet the personal views of the members of that committee. If the people want primary electlons.it is /v the duty of the executive committee to recognize their wish, as may be expressed In the constitution. Any argument that the same day would not suit all the people of the State is mere suggestions which the com" mittee has no official right to make. A full ? ?onsicnr to the dictum of the ill J U WUtpivvv committee lies in llie fact that the State election is held in every county 011 the same day. But, suppose that the State election was held iu every county on nDy separate day that the authorities might select. That would have nothing to do wKli the executive committee. They must execute the law as they find it. *V-,L Notre they may think it should, or should not, be. It would have been fair, for the chairman of the executive committee to hear suggestions, from even the smallest minority, and It Is right for hirn to ascertain any one of the hundred facts that may be of interest to the party. Then, as a matter of fair dealing we think such facts and appeals might he, in some way, communicated to the Stale Convention with such recommendations as may be de med advisable. The Convention can then do as It pleases. That body Is supreme, or infallible, if you will. But we tope the public may be saved any further infliction of argument from the executive committee. Their duly is prescribed, and tho law 1* plain. The argument of the questions of primaries, nnd tlie day of elec1: tlon arc matters foreign to auy duty of the executive committee, and, any other man's opinion Is worth jost as much as that of the committee. ^ ^ ^ beui'riii.vcvinuj The remarks of General McC'rady arcsofair, so Impartial and so truthful as to impress all who may rend what he has to say. il is conservatism and wisdom are apparent to all. It those in authority had aeicd with something of the same discretion such a thing as dlssatifaction among the people would not exist to-day. But many of us believe that the will of the people bus in many instances 'been little regarded, and that sometimes in the election* as to constitutional questions, perfect fairness has not always been too apparent. We all know that the reapportionment ol representatives in the General Assembly was postponed, and that Charleston now usurps the seats Id the General Assembly to which she is not Justly entitled, and we further t know that to the extent ol that unjust representation in the House of Representatives, lierivinmouuiiiuu In the nominating eon?-mention is unjustly doubled. We all can form our own opinions as to whether the law has been faithfully enforced against offenders?il the offenders should happen to belong, as they otien do, to Influential portion of the community. The records will show whether many such people have been put to any other inconvenience for killing trash, thau the troubleof glv. lng bail and going through the form orntruu. .Some of us know how some of the juries have been drawn In secret, and how their verdicts have shocked the world. Happily for Abbeville, however, the day for selecting Jurors with closed doors lias passed. Jurors are now drawn in broad day light and in the presence of witnesses?and we get good juries, too. Evil doers may as well take a note of this latter fact ? McGregor was Acquitted. -Many of our citizens have read in the Augutla Chronicle the account of the Irial at Warrentonof Major Charles E. McGregor for killing James M. W. Cody. Major McGregor walked up to where Cody was standing and shot him. A witness testified that he did not believe that Cody saw him at the time of the shooting. Cody and McGregor were prom!? "^ neut citizens, and up to within a short time iisfore the killing, had been good friends. Cody waylaid McGregor.and shot bim in bis own yard. Cody was extremely attentive in his visits while the wounded man was In bed. At prayer meeting next night after the shooting, he prayed for him. He proposed to lynch a negro who was suspected of the crime, but McGregor dissuaded htm from the act. Finally, suspicion rested on Cody, aiTd Cody owned up to having shot him. Cody was indicted, but was not brought into Court. He couldn't be found, when wanted. He made threats that McGregor would never live to see him in the penitentiary; that the people ' of that county would not con vlct him. Mc Gregor was afraid of Cody, una shot him, when he come to town, soon after the adjournment of the Court in 188S. The killing was no doubt, technically, murder, but because of the threats of Cody, and the fears of MctJrcgor, togotber perhaps with the wealth and social standing of the living, he was acquitted last week. The name of a lady was mentioned during the trial, who may have been the innocent cause of the origiu of the trouble. Will the Democratic State Executive Committee continue the practice of giving the party printing to any favored piiuting office? or will that work be given out to the lowest bidder? or will each county Executive Committee be permitted to make their own arI rangements? TUK C. Sl G. schedule as now run is of great advantage to the public, and everybody is delighted with It, Many thanks to President Jlcfiee. ' i---...- : ' . J-:Cxs-.. I Willie I.mpharl nml llio Governor. Some time ago, Willie Lnapliart, a colored man, was convicted in Lexington of an as- ( s iu!t on a young lady, and for the offence was tried and sentenced to be hanged. Judge j Wallace at the time of sentencing him, glvj ing the prisoner to understand that there wan ! no hope for him. When the day for the exe-1 leutionwas near, Judge Wallace, upon aflUht1 vlt of someone unknown to the public.asked ! the Governor lo postpone the execution. The | prisoner was respited until some time in May. j The peopleot Lexington became very much Incensed at the action of the Governor, and at public meetings have denounced his act in very strong language. The case is a most remarkable one, and as far as we now recollect, it is the only one in which the Governor and a Circuit Judge have taken so conspicuous a prrt iu behalf of a friendless citizen. We feel perfectly certain lliat Judge Wallace would not have moved the Governor to Interfere in his behalf If there had not been at least some evidence of good aud sufficient grounds for his action. Whatever the people of I^exlngton may think of it, we think the State will ent'orse the action of Judge Wallace and Governor Richardson. If the negro?who has been con vie ted of the worst offence known to society?has adefense, society will lose nothing by letting him bring It forward. lie is in the hands of the government.and he stands condemned to death, and there need be no fears that anything except the merit of his defense will move the Gover nor to smeia mm irom uie penunj ui mc ?? as pronounced again fit- him. He lias no social standing or influential kindred. He can look to the officers of the law only for that mercy which justice demands. Judge Wallace and Governor Richardson will not be charged with partiality to a friendless negro, and they should be allowed to in* vestigate his defense. If the negro is guilty, he will surely bo hanged, but a righteous Judge and a conscicutlous Governor, should be allowed time to convince themselves of the guilt of the condemned man. No good man in Lexington wants to see Willie Leapbart hanged, if he is innocent. But if he is guilty, justice demands bis death. Let the Governor do his duty, and let the people be paiient. The action of these high officers of the kovernmcnt in behalf of so poor a citizen as Willie Leaphart, who has been convicted of the very worst crime, is enough to Inspire the people with Increased confldcuce in the integrity of tbeir trusted officers. mm ? Will we Take Advantage of Our Opportunity. ' A railroad In itself will not make a town, or Increase its population, unless the citizens of that towu take advantage of the facilities it offers. "Railroads simply open up new fields for Industry and enterprise. Unless these fields . ... ,i.., ,?J,| |1Q ure UUIUVUICU uuiiuncguuu Hill wv uv>iv? from it." The above is what the Elbcrton Star has to say in view of the prospects lor building the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad, which road passes our doors. Up to this tline we have seen little effort to induce new industries or new trades, whereby the town would be benefitted. On the other hand, we have noticed that many lot owners are asking extremely high tigures for any land that may be desired.' Unless there should be an increased population, and an increased business, the mere building of the railroad will uot warrant the greatly increased price of building lots, which js now being ashed. The result of the high prices will discourage building, or else those lot owners who are willing to sell at a fair price, will supply the limited demand. The railroad cannot, under any circumstances, increase the value of anything, ex. cept the lots on which houses now stand. All the materials which go Into the building of a house will be as cheap after the road Is rinished, as it is now. Brick, lime, cement, tiu, plank, shingles, and everything else will be made cheaper. If possible, but the growth of the town may increase the price of land. The i'lnfliii Rebellion. The University Trustees met on the 17th instant, ajid udopied tlie following resolutions: "The trouble between one of the professors of (.'la! I in College and the students of the institution, in which the students are clearly in rebellion against the authority of the College, coining belore the trustees: "It Is resolved. That the students be and are hereby required to return to their classes under I'rof. lJeTrevillc at once, and that every student failing to comply with this resolution be expelled from the Collegb. "And whereas, It appears that the rebellion of students grew out of the grave misconduct of two of the professors, beginning in tlie faculty meeting and ending on the College campus. "Resolved, further, That It be referred to a committee of three, to be appointed by the chairman, to report what action should be taken by this board In reference to the oft'euding professors."

Kilter IIoiimch?ltetter Facilities*. At their recent meeting the stockholders of the Abbeville Oil Miil determined to put up a new and improved cotton ginnery, of the latest and best patterns. By the new machinery the cotton will be handled with the fewest number of hands possible. By systems ol elevators the cotton will be taken from the wagons, and after the cotton goes into the machinery, nearly all the work will be done by steam power.

(jHIJknwood, April 21st, 1S90. We may yet have a crop of peaches, as the trees are blooming afresh. There was an exceedingly lurge crowd In town Saturday, one of whom was Mr. B. It. Tillman, of Kdgefleld, who addressed the Alliance. Messrs. Klugh and Benjamin, who are merchandising at the Quarry, two miles from town, have a fine ana growing business. 11 is a pitty that such an editor as Dana, of the Xew York Sun, should die of old age, wltlioutjat least one good cowhiding from some of the many victims of his slanderous pen, but as he Is now very decrepit, the probability Is lhat he will never receive It unless Cleveland administers it in the present emergency. Hon. C. A. C. Waller, President, has called a meeting oi the Greenwood Democratic Club, for .Saturday, April 2t>, at 3 p. in., for the purpose ol reorganizing. We know of 110 man better qualified for the oflice of Attorney General, than Capt. O. L. Schunipert, of Newberry, and would like to sec him announced as a candidate for the 1 nomination. .Son.eofour newspapers work themselves into a white heat over the situation In one Issue, and In the next advise everybody to keep cool. This can be accounted for on the principle that a man alter getting sober feels ?ir?i 1 I rt.r o fftmhariinno IPPtliro Track laying will begin here lu a few clays, anil proceed Eastward until they meet the force uow at 11 road River. .Mr. Dick Hill, one of Abbeville's handsomest young men, was in town last week His visits are getting entirely too frequent to be pleasant to at least one of our young men. P. .S.?Since writing the above we have been informed that he has been expressing himself pretty freely and not very flatteringly about reporters. Heretofore we have been very charttabic and pleasant In our notice of his visits, but unless he apologises to us we will llx him the next time he comes. Aside? we are JustJoking, Dick. By the time Ihe papers are through discussing Tillman and the political situation, the commencement season will be upon us, and we will then from day to day for several weeks be treated to the same prosy sterotyped report of this or that commencement, onehstlfof wli'ch not ouc subscriber in ten ever reads. Iiev. G. H. Carter has returned from Atlanta. He was highly delighted with the "gate city" and reports a successful meeting. We learn that several petitions arc out for the position of Depot Agent of the G., C. & N. at this place. We have learned by experience that petitions are worth very little. The endorsement of one or two certain men In every case where appointments are to be mude, is worth more than a petition a mile long. Rev. \V. P. Pearson preached an able and Impressive sermon In the Presbyterian church Sunday, after which a communion servlcc was held. Mr. J. A. Lomax was In towu Saturday.

At a recent meeting or the board of trade, a committee was appointed to confer with the authorities of the South Bound railroad with reference to the extension of their Hue from Johnston)* to this point via Phoenix. All parties concerued should bear in mind that there will be a meeting of the stockholders of the Greenwood Cotton Mill, here on the 1st of May. Iti6 very desirous that all stock tie represented. The duty on tin plate is now 82 per box, It Is intended as a protective tariff, while there Is not and perhaps never will be a sheet manufactured In the United States. It ought therefore to be placed on the free list, if It Wft6, tin rooting that now costs 85 per square could be put on for 83.75 and 81. It will be seen therefore that every man who covers a store 25 x 100 with tin, pays the Government $25 to 830 that it does not need and by which no citizen is benefitted unless perhaps it be a Yankee pensioner. In the face of all this, an effort is being made by the "American Tinplate Association," or New York, to memorialize Congress to have the duty raised. When the duty on such articles as this is up for consideration, every Congressman, whether protectionist or not should vote to place thein on the free list. Small articles and vessn!? manufactured of tin could hardly come any lower in price, but if this unnecessary duty was removed it would enable manufacturers to give a much better quality at the khmio price. We inquired of Jerome Hell, if he had any society news lor publication, he replied that he had not but would tell its confidentially that he was having lots of fun, just now, trying to get married, and warned us to "boom" the May-day excursion to Knorce, for the reason that unless the picnic was a "flash" he thought he might succeed. Mr. It. G. McJites, who went to Orangeburg, as a delegate to the Y. M. C. A. Convention, returned Friday, having visited the "city by the sea" on his trip. The switch for receiving iron from the A. & K. for the G., C. it N., is being put In position two miles West of town. The trestle across Hard Labor will be ready for them to cross In two days, the cut through town for them to pass tlirough by the time they reach it. It is rumored that Col. J. P. Philips contemplates opening bu.tiues* here. We would be glad to have him, be is u? able, energetic and wide awake merchant, and wllbal an excellent citi/.eu. There is always room for his sort. At an experience or holiness meeting in one of our colored churches a few evenings ago, n somewhat amusing episode was related, as told us by an eye witness, It runs about as follows. One of the "bredren"' stated Ithat when he wus sanctified he was a habitual nRf?rftf inhdcpn. but the Solrlt told him he could not enter heaven and continue Its use, whereupon he left it off. At this point one ot the "sistren" who has a special fondness for the narcotic arose and said dut bruders heart sholy aui not right; dc bible hit say ef yo hart be right wld Ged you gwlno to hebben any how bacca or no bacca. Ise bin a. ubeln It lo dese forty years an l.se gwiue to use it til I die, and calling the "brudcr" by name, she commenced to sing in her own dialect tbelr plaintive solo. Say bruder don't you want to go, Ac. Finis. Col. D. A. P. Jordan, of New York, one of the most aflhble gentlemen, as well as one of the best salesmen on the road, was registered at ltlley's Saturday, as was also Mr. B. It. Tillman, of Kopers, S. C. The newspapers and individuals, are taking up a great deal of space and time Just now, in the discussion of "bosslsm," "rlngn," Jtc. we have had little or no experience with political rings, but there are certain other rings In which we have figured quite conspicuously. One of which was a small whito ring drawn on the school house floor in which we were accustomed to stand on one foot because the little girl with whom we "studied" our lessons, would persist In making us "laugh out." This wus a chalk ring. There was another equally small one, drawn on the "playirronnd." hv which we and one or more bovs would play marbles, and at which we were always accused of "fudging," Any way, It was our ill luok to "go fut" or "got killed," "ring em up" and "go last" every tlfne. This was a marble ring. There was still another uf much larger proportions described also on the "play ground," on the center of which we stood while a much larger boy stood on the circumference and knocked the breath out of us with a solid rubber ball. This was a "bull pen" ring. Ajjd if political rings are as trying on our political as this trio Is on our physical system, we advise their speedy decapitation. Quite a number of bales of cctton were sold in town Saturday. Messrs. Marse ?fc Cannon bought. 25 bales at 11 % cents. Col. Glbbs, of Columbia, spent a few days with his family tiere last week. We do not know whether It Is agaln*t the interest of our choice of candidates or not. He this as it may, we heartily favor a primary for every office from Coroner to Governor. If by it our choice can't stand, let somebody else's choice come in. We grant that a convention ca'i be as fuirly conducted as a primary, but voting for an officer by proxy, Is very much like sending a kiss to your sweetheart by another fellow?it is a mode of delivery we aro constitutionally opposed to. I We are In full sympathy with ttic popular vole idea, and hope our exeouti*o committee will give us a primary. S, ilkv. John Gass will take the position of assistant rector of Graec church.
