This Is not as it should be, persons who have money i would Hind it a profitable investment to build cottages on their lots for rent. If we expect < our town to build up, we must offer induce- t ments to new comers. In other words the pco- | pie of Abbeville must gei a''move od them" | and be up and doing, it takes people to build i up a town and uot railroads.

The public school question Is beginning to receive some consideration at the hands of the people, and this in itself is a hopelul sign. The best way to bring anything that concerns the public to perfection is by agitatiou, iii a friendly spirit, and from unprejudiced hearts.. Much has been spoken and written about the public schools, and nearly every one has some idea peculiar to himself, hence no one will be surprised if we say something too. We are deeply interested In this matterpractically as well as theoretically?and we are very solicitous as to the final success of the system. We do not think tor a moment that the already small salaries of the teachers should be reduced. No teacher or any one in any othqj* profession will do good work for the pittanceof twenty or twenty-five dollars j a month; more especially when they are to be employed for only three, four or five months in a year. There are several reasons why the system has not given satisfaction. The foremost of these Is the misconception by the general public as to the pijrj>oses for which it was instituted. They think that the public money should educate their children. But not so. It wasintended tosupplement?toassint those in moderate circumstances, in the great and imnortmit work of erlvlneourchildren afoun dation upon which to build an education. Another reason is that the netghbors arc divided. Some one or more of the more prosperous in each community is unwilling to help his less fortunate neighbor, and the school fails for lack ol patronage and co-operation. Then again there are some who will not allow their children to associate with those of the poorer classes, notwithstanding the fact that their only sin is poverty, forgetting the aid addage, that "Honor and fame from no condition rise." And this is why you see so many well-to-do Tanners leaving their homes and larrns in the liaudsof renters, and settling In the towns. 1'hey fail to help their neighborhood school, leel the necessity of educating their children, lesii e to gel them Into society, and, at a loss to themselves and the couutry, move to town ; ind in this way many become enamored ol ?wn life, conclude that it is not pleasant to ,ive in the country, populate the towns, creUe an Idea in the rising generation that to iveonafarm is degrading, and bring the :ionest t'Her of the soli into disrepute. The educators have seen and felt these ,hings, and have bentall their energies to the jullaingupof first-class schools in the towns; ind then only the mostlortunate can reap the jenctits of these schools. Tuition Is nigh, school books are high, asocial line is drawn, md if the poor man has more than one little "ellow to educate, he has to content himself ivlth a smattering for each. As we have said, do not reduce the salaries. Hut let each neighborhood co-operate and eaablish a school. Select a teacher that knows something about children and how to govern hem, and one that can teach?not a mute, .vhose 6ole duty Is to hear the children recite. L<et the neighborhood usccrtaln how long the jublic money will run the school,and Instead ?f drawing all the publlcfundlnfourmonths, Iraw one-half of each month's salary, and supplement it by another half, and thereby louble the length of the school term. The main advantage of this p an,aside from :he lengthened term, Is to be found in the fact hat we can more easily pay one dollar per nontli per child than two dollars per month ifter the public funds are expended. Not only so, many who now stop their children at :he expiration ol the public school term ivould allow them to continue, and in a few rears a well-established school in that localty would result. As stated before, this is an important matter. We have no choice, so to speak. We nust educate our children, even it they go miffed aud half clothed?eved if they are lebarred from the society of the retined. The ssues of the late war have placed us In this lilemmn. intelligence will rule. The chiiIren of the colored brother enjoys these adfiiiifciges about thirteen months in a year, md it is because of their co operation. Let us not only think,and speak, and write, >ut let us act. Let us go to work at once, and success will crown our efforts, and we will be ailed blessed by succeeding generations, because it will create a wholesome effect upon he rural people, elevate farm life, make our lome* happy, and bring peace and plenty to ill concerned. AMICUS. + 1AILR0AD HOPES AND RAILROAD FEARS. rhe People or Coronncn are Thoroughly Alive to their Interest, nntl will Resent nny Interference With their Chartered Rights. ?2 f Morwf Ififtfl Editor Prexs and Banner : Pursuant to tho call by several of our most nfluential citizens, thero was a large and cnhusiastic meeting held hereon the 2nd inst. Our people are quite J ubilant over the prospects of the completiou of the Carolina, lvnoxville& Western Railroad?though disposed to be a little doubtful for fear that this jiart of the road, between Ninety-Six and Jokesbury, might, by some hook or crook, be ieflected by some other route than the one ilready graded. Some are even disposed to entertain the Fear that the next Legislature, influenced by iome one or more of our members of that body, or by some body of our citizens, by petition or otherwise, might be induced to so alter the present charter of the Carolina, Knoxdlle & western as to cut us entirely oft of ibe line. Korfear of anything of this sort being attempted, we pive titneiy warning low to those who have just received the nomnation for election to that body, that we will lot tolerate any Interference with the cbarer of this road. We want the road, and must lave it. At the meeting to day n committee of three )f our most influelitial citizens were appolut;d to at r nce to look after the matter of "right if way," from Ninety-six to Cokesbury and f possible to secure the unconditional right >f way to offer to the company now in possession of the road. The following resolutions were also passed tviiii a wiiunp; Resolved, That we. the citizens of Corouaca community, have learned with great interest )f the fluttering prospects for the early completion of the <J. K. VV. R. R. and that we jleiigeour hearty co-operation anil assistance n tliis grand enterprise. He.sohed 2d. That we hereby request the nansigement of this road to seriously consider the greaterpractleability of this route over hat. of any other, and most earnestly protest tgainst the deflection of the road by any other oute than the one already craded via Nlney-six, Corouaca and Cokesbury.

Wo Ha Vnt font. prelienri the Meaning; of Business. Hodoks, S. C., Sept. 5, 1890. Editor Press and Banner : Iu your edition of September 3rd, you make men lion of the very poor telegraphic service received on the occasion of the election. I beg space iu your paper to explain this, as It reflects on me to some extent. You and your readers are aware that all business to and from Abbeville has to be "relayed" at Hodges. Upon the nights referred to in your article, I was in my office from 7:30 P. Al. till 12:30 A. M. each night and personally superintended the telegraphing, which was done with as much despatch as the business would permit. Of course some people cannot comprehend the meaning of business, and cannot understand why their business cannot tnke preference over other business. One message has as much right to the wire as another, and of course we could not take wire frotn other offices to get information for Abbeville. It Is absurd to think of such a thing. On the night of the flrst election none of us got oft our specials. Anderson monopolized the wire the whole night. Waihalla, Abbeville and other offices were compelled to hold theirs till Sun uny morniug. uu me uaj <ji me mstcicvuuu the wire was blown down by an act of God. which is not in our power to control. You were furnished with as efficient telegraphic services us could be obtained, and I cannot see why you should censure us On the dale of the first election, 1 personally neglected important Kailroad business to obtain election news for Abbeville, on date of second election I paid very littie attention to the "Main line wire" as we had no communication with Abbeville. Of course we ha vent sufficient wires to handle the business that is offered us, but that is no fault of the operators. We have asked the company to build another wire, as the business demanded It, but to no avail. The company still refuse to do so. I think it every business man's duty to ask another wire of the NVeitern Union Telegraph Co., as business men cannot afford to have thir business delayed as it now is. We as employees can't do anything and I think the public should look after their interest, YANCEY M. MARTIN. Manager W. U. Tel. Co. THE NEW TOWN. A City That Will Spring l'|) and Progress Rapidly.

Editor Press and Banner : I hml no intention of having anything further to say on the subject of the recent primaI rles, but u friend has just handed me a copy I of the Medium, containing K. R. Hemphill's comments on my little communication, which I find so full of misstatements, and misrepresentations, that I beg leave to reply to it briefly. The Senator seems to be very sensitive on this point. He concludes, because I hold, and had the temerity to say so, that If lie could be declared the nominee for !ho Senate, by the vote of the first primary, then Messrs. Adams and tiraham should also have been declared among the nominees for the House, that I am "particularly exercised about the nomination for Senator," which is not the case at all. My communication to your paper was intended as a simple statement of what I, along with hundreds of others, hold to be the facts in the case so far as Messrs. Adams and Graham are concerned, the tellers and the central club to the contrary notwithstanding?but! there was not one word of objection in it and the Senator knew there wasn't when he said so. He says again that my figures are not correct. The figures lie alludes to are correct nnd he knows thatalso; but in the last paragraph of my communication the second word in the first line should be total instead of sum. In this paragraph though there is a mistake that the Senator dots not allude to?the figures 1,351 should be 1,:I57. The sum of the votes cast for members of the House at the first primary was 13,308, which divided by 5 gives '2,713 3-5, as the avorcirro vnlo Tnr Ihul nffl/.o anil In lil> pnlitli'il to the nomination, one would simply have to I yet a majority of that average, which Messrs.
