w-%. I The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^ jZ5&~Pnblished every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Wednesday, June 25, 1890. A Sensible Subscriber.' The following are the remarks of a newspaper subscriber: "I read the papers with great Interest. I begin with the first column and read nil. The advertisements especially take my eye. Hy reading them over I know where to buy my goods the cheapest, where to find the best quality, and also know who I am dealing with when I go there. The man that <-omcs out in public print and is not afraid to let people know how he is selllnj.' his goods is the man I am going to trade with.' Tnat is the w iy, my dear friend,; that people l'>ok at you through the newspapers. If your names and goods appear in the newspapers they appear in nearly every household in the county, and people are bound to come and see you. We will say this to our oni.orti.lKQK. V<mi <*nn n?v n fln?pn cnhsf?rln. Hons In a year by rending our advertising! columns closely. When you see merchants advertise, re.?t assured that they mean business and will sell you goods as close as they can. Silver Cornet Music. The people of Abbeville, and the Democratic party of Abbeville county arc greatly indebted to the Due West Silver Cornet Hand lor splendid serenades on Monday nipht. and on Tuesday the big meeting was enlivened by the cholccst music Iron) the same patriotic gentlemen, who como as Democrats, and not as partisans for either side. Due West is noted for its musical talunt, and the Cornet Hand last week at Abbeville added new laurels to the town which has been so long distinguished for music and pretty women. Don't Fail to KcgiNter. Remember that the registration books will be closed after the first Monday in July. If you have not regUtered you should not fail to do so by that time. The Republicans in Con i gress are hent on passing a Federal election law and otherwise infcrfcrlng with the rights A of the States of the South in Congressional K&. elections, and it behooves every Democrat to see that he has a registration certificate, and be prepared to vote. We will need every vote wecau ge*. Those who have recently bccome of age and are qualified under tbe Act should not fall to register. The Tennis Club. The tennis club played Inst Friday evening on their grounds In the grove near the home of the late Robert H. Wardlaw. At the con CIUMUI1 111 UiC gillUC HID JUUllg "tie handsomely entertained at Mrs. K. C. Perrln's where the choicest Ice cream and the rarest Bberbert were enjoyed by all. Handsome men and pretty women made a tableaux ot loveliness which must have carried captive every hungering heart. ' ? ? Is ThiN Fair? It is believed that the Tillman faction intend to elect Tillman delegates to the State Nominating Convention at the next meeting of the county Club. If the Tillman faction break loose from all the usual methods, there is no telling where the trouble will end. A majority of that side having been organized either as farmers movement or alliance, they have at present the advantage of the opposition. Welcome Rack. We had a pleasant call last Friday morning from Mr. G. B. Lythgoe, who has been In Macon, Georgia, for the last year. He has ? situation as stenographer, and is doing well. .

The number of engaged couples in town was never as small as now. Suits in Cupid's court this spring have amounted to but very nr H nrv ?-*rvt r\f fnrnolntnrnu c\C mnrl. gages have been sent out of late. We presume the youDg people have heen talking politics, and have had no spare timo"to give to affairs of the heart. We wonder If Tillman has affected the matrimonial market, as it is alleged he has affected the market for State bonds. Mr. Frank Parker has passed his examinations at West Point, and is now regularly Installed into his classes at that great military institution. Hon. W. H.

Cothran and A. W. Smith went to Columbia yesterday morning, to be on hand at the big meeting which took place In that city yesterday.

WARRENTON'S WHO ? Nobody Knows'' linn a Short and Spicy Letter on Matter* in the City. 'Waukenton, S. C., June 23, 1890. Who is going to the Commencement? Miss S. C. Thomas, teacher of the Warren- | tou school, has given vacation lor three weeks. < Messrs. Frank Wilson and Claude Lanier, J two nf Monterey's handsome younsr men, at- , tended Sunday school wt this place on the , third Sunday evening. What's the attrac- j Hon,hoys? Some of the farmers around here have wag- ( ons hauling rock lor the Railroad. They , seem to be very busy. Mr. Thomas Is beticr. . Several of the Warrenton people attended preaching at Sharon la6t third Sunday. They ( report a good sermon from Rev. B. F. Berry. O.ulte a number of people passed here going 11 to town last Tuesday. Some of the farmers didn't go because they were a little tehlnd with their crops and couldn't stop a plow. It is getting fashionable to go to the Railroad to see how they are gettlngalong with it. Mr. Hughes, the census taker, was about town last week "prying into other people's affairs." Some of the men got terribly mixed up ubout the number ot chickens they had raised. Iried, &c. A nice rain fell last Friday night. It put tho ground in good condition for plowing. Mrs. r>. U. Penny Is Improving. Rev. H. C. Fennel preached a good sermon to a large and attentive crowd on the fourth Sunday evening. The question now Is, "Who Is the repoiter from warrenton ?" NOBODY KNOWS. PRIMARY OR NO PRIMARY. How Abbeville Stood on the Absorbing Question In 1888. In consequence of the all-Important question of State primaries Tlllmanism and antl- < Tulmanlsm Is now losing some of its prominence. When this question is discussed ( Tllimanites and anti-Tiiliimnitcs come together, and to some extent fowt political preferences as the more important question engages attention. In like manner divisions among Tillmanltes and antl-Tillinaitltes respectively, is clearly perceptible on this Issue. The people have long wanted the primary elections, but it seems that there has always been some pretext for denying this right. Charleston, of course, with her great influence, will never willingly yield the great power which she now unjustly holds, and nothing less than a herculean eft'ort 011 the part of the country people will ever give to them their just proportion of power In the State. In the State Convention of 18S8 on a resolution offered by Mr. Tillman, or Mr. Gray or Laurens, to vote for nil State officers Irom Governor down by primary election, the vote of the Abbeville delegation at said Convention on May IS, 1HH8, was as follows: Yeas-It. It. Hemphill, W. O. Hradley, A. W. Joues, W. N. Hall. K. G. Graydon. Wyatt Aiken, W. J. Moore, Eugene B. Gary. J.E. Todd. ' Nays?Frank B. Gary, W. B. Acker, L. M. Fouche. DONALDS DEMOCRATIC CLUB. "Minority" Wive* His Side of (he Subject ? The Primary Voted Down. The Donalds Club met last Saturday and elected delegates to the Central Club. As each one was nominated they were required to define their politics?Tillman or antl-Tillman. Mr. W. It. Dunn was lirst nominated. His answer to the test question not being satisfactory to a majority of the club, he was promptly voted down. The nominations following all went one way. The anti-Tillmau element subsided and took a back seat. All the other nominees came up to the scratch in a beautiful manner. A resolution was offered by Mr. (j. M. Mat tison recommending primary elections for delegates to the State Convention, which was voted down. The vote was a complete surprise to many. The club adopted the March convention and the platfoim put forth by said convention. As some of us understand that platform, we thought the vote rejected r?n? nlnnlr nf t ho rilntfhpm?r\no a# H<-?_ wwv r.w?M V. */ Vltv V* bliC UW" mantis. Mr. Tillman has expressed his preference for the primury plan. We can see no good reason for either party objecting to the plan. Then every man can go to the polls and cast his vote for the best choice of delegates. Comment unnecessary. MINORITY. CHICKASAW HIGH GRADE FERTILIZER. High Testimonial* an to tbe Value of Fertilize Mann factored by the Abbeville Oil Mill. The Abbeville Cotton Seed Oil and Fertilizer Company have received from the Commissioner ol Agriculture a copy of the analysis of the "Chickasaw High Grade Fertilizer" manufactured by them, which shows that their fertilizer aualysed considerably above their guarantee.

The New York Evening Post says: "Massachusetts litis now tried its High License Law for a year, and instead of finding In it a ' solution of the "temperance question," is i even deeper in the mire or intemperance. The operation of the new law has been at- , tended by such an increase in the arrests for drunkenness that the parly of moral Ideas which was responsible for its enactment has 1 been at Its wit x end to kuow how to appease the increasing clamor of Its temperance mem- i bers, and at the same time retain the allegi- 1 ance of Its new allies, the liquor-dealers." i BACKED DOWN SQUARELY.

The following Is from the Xewsand Courier's account of ihe Union meeting and Is substantially the same as given by the World: "Ueneral E.uie then read ttie lollowing paper : "All the undersigned candidates for State officers do hereby agree : "I.

Will vnnnrrpflfl to Mint. 0'* TILLMAN'S RESPONSE*. "Iiow about the demand for a primary. In ny Kldtieway speech I appealed to the Executive Committee to nrraiige for a State prinary, but Colonel Hoyt wiid it was iinpracti;atile and utterly unattainable, if tlie Executive Committee is the agent of one of the candidates, how are we going to do except to ight the devil with lire. They want me to uledge myself not to accept the nomination, jut can't they put in some one else? If, by : my chance, there should t?e a Tillman majorty in that convention, they would never let iuch chances slip by. They are catching at straws. If they will give me a free fight and i fair count, I will beat Ih.-m out of their roots. I am not iroitig to sign this paper of 3eneral Earle's. I am not going to bind myself not to accept the nomination of any eonmention. If they cau arrange some plan iv here by it will be impossible to nominate ?ny candidate I will agree. They say I am imbitious. .So I am, but it is to be of some ;ood to my State. I have led this tight from i sense of duty because men came to me and said you are the only man with the bralm> ind courage to show those people up." Contributed Local*. Abbeville, S.
