The Press and Banner By HUGH WILSON. J Wednesday, Oct. 8, 1890. j ????-???- ? ?I?? | "Let it be Instilled into the Hearts of 1 Your Children that the Liberty of the Press is the Palladium of all Your Rights." 1 i Twelve Pages. 1 i Why Should There bo an Iiidcpen<lcnt Ticket? The Democratic party of South Carolina i met in September, and about four-fifths ol < that Convention voted for B. R. Tillman for ' Governor. All the delegates were white, and they represented nobody but white people. 1 Judge Haskell was one of the small minority. He now declares that he cannot support B. R.Tillman, and favors the running of an ' Independent ticket, composed of straightout I Democrats. He would as we understand the situation, run on neither the Republican tick et nor on the regularly organized Democratic 1 ticket, but lie desires to see a ticket put out which would represent and be supported by an assorted lot of political soreheads, Demo crats malcontents, and Republican negroes. There can be no doubt that Captain B. R. Tillman Is the choice ol at least two-thirds or three-fourths of the white people of South Carolina. The Press and Banner believes in the rule of the majority, under any and all circumstances. For this reason we arc- now supporting the regularly nominated Democratic ticket as earnestly as we opposed B. R. Tillman during the campaign. We expect to vote for him against all self constituted or irregularly appointed candidates. While we thought there were reasons why 1 Mr. Tillman should not be nominated, we cannot now conceive of any good reason why he should not be elected, except the fact that he does not belong to, or may not be a part o' that set of men who have held office since 1876. If Judge Haskell is right, and the Demo era tic party was organized In 1S76 for no higher aud no better purpose than that of giving | to him and his associates the exclusive right to rule and hold office in South Carolina, he is i right in trying to divide the white people of ! the State. If, however, the Democratic party was oiganized for the good of the whole, whose officers should represent the wishes of the ma- < Jorlty, then Judge Haskell and his associate 1 Independents or Bolters assume a feartul re- j sponsiblllty In withdrawing from the organ- , ized white Democracy, while coquetting with 1 the negro Republicans. If a solid and united minority were power- , less to make themselves even felt in the State < Convention, what can a minority of that mi norlty hope to win except by appealing to the | negro? I We are constrained to believe that thai j class of Boilers or Independents who assume | the name of "Stralghtouts" will receive little or no support from the patriotic white people J of Abbeville County. i ^, i , Ttic Homicide in Orangeburg-. , The killing of Captain Wannaiuaker has J sent a feeling of regret through many hearts, not only In Abbeville, but in many oilier i parts of the Stale. His death may be set down as one ot the results of the heated campaign through which I we have Just passed. Politics or political sen- . tlments no doubt was at the bottom of it all. j Captain NVannamaker being an aggressive Straightout, and Herloug having a reputation ? Unon/.fl?Kla " "nnitit ntirl iinticciiinlna" man, It seems that Captain Wannamaker , presumed too mvicli on that reputation, and i ; , was mistaken as to tlie courage of the man ' whom he would denounce. If he had reallz- ( ed that he was assailing a man who would J have resented the insult in au appalling ' manner, It is quite probable that he would , have restrained his feelings and not have i rushed to his death about so trivial a matter, J and if Captain Wannamaker's friends, who were present, had realized the serious difficulty lhnt might be brought on by attacking a "peaceable,"'"quiet and unassuming" citizen, that they would have made greater effort torestraiu him. As a rule, when men undertake to oflVr dis- -J graceful insult to others, we believe they usu- ( ally calculate .and estimate the courage, (or the power to resent.) of the victim whom they would attack. Ordinarily, where persons : know their offenses will be promptly resented they are very careiul, but with all that ' care, they sometimes awaken a sleeping lion, and suffer for their indiscretion. While the death of Captain Wannamaker gives a feeling of deep regret to all, yet we do , not 6ee how any one could blame Herlong. The man who expects to disgrace and destroy ^,_takes his life in bis own hands, and the re^ sponsibllity for results is with him. Jndire Haskell'* Letter. The letter of Judge Haskell will be general- 1 ly read, but, as far as Abbeville County is concerned, he can't raise a flutter as an Indepen. dent candidate for Governor. As a matter of fact, we have not heard every man in this County speak 011 the subject, ' hut we will say tills, tbat we have heard of only one man who endorsed the letter. The day lor Independent candidates has not yet arrived. Capt. Tillman having received tlie Democratic nomination, and Judge Haskell having announced his determination not to accept office from the negroes, leaves him no place, except with Uoltersor Independents ' ?with not the remotest chance oT election. Judge Haskell's position must be a matter of extreme regret to his admirers everywhere, and to none is It more so. than to those in the home of his nativity. Abbeville County honors Judge Ha?kell but they will not follow him in a bolt or independent move. The Celebration. The celebration of the completion of the railroad to litis point which will betake place oil the Gtli and 7lh of November, will be tlie i grandest celebration ever had at Abbeville. All the committees are actively at work, making preparations, and the news is to the , etlect, that the people will be here in greater numbers than ever before. Already the great daily newspapers of Charleston and Augusta have reporters mi the ground, taking in the situation, with a view to giving us a suitable notice and u readable , account of our big day. Abbeville is a town with a history, and it is ' gratifying to have that history?no less than \ our present good fortune?written up in at tractive style. ' For the Jubilee. Great expectations are excited in reference < to the great railroad celebration which is to take place at Abbeville, November Oth ami; 7th, according to the programme heretofore j i published. The people are talking of it ev- J cry where, and thousands of people will be] here. Distinguished politicians and eminent |1 railroad men will be here to do honor to the 1 occasion. The citizens have contributed liberally to tlie success ol' the jubilee, anil our citizens should put their best foot toreinost, by clean- \ ing their lots and bl ushing their houses. The sidewalks should be put in first class tix, and all the public places should be arranged to; make as good an impression on strangers as i possible. If the next Legislature supports Tillman, . does anybody suppose that body, the General I Assembly, will declarcaii Independent ticket j elected ? I ? _ ;i i One result of the Independent movement < will be the defeat of Hamptou for re-election to the United States Senate. ii i im hi naa?mbiiii _iim<iiii_i nin??i_ii n iim Shall we ni<xrecnr(l Nominations? That U. It. Tillman was nominated by an mmouse majority of tlic white people of ioutli Carolina nobody doubts. Will the j landful of discontented Democrats bolt and ] ippeal to the negro? If so, why may not I). I v. Norris bolt, and still run for Congress. He ! vas beaten in the primary by a very small \ majority, but like a true and brave Democrat < ic now supports his opponent. If tiie antirillmanltos may bolt why may not the Alii- i met do the same thing, and vote for D. K. J Morris, instead of Ueon-e Johnstone? If ;hey do that, is there any reason why John i It. Tolbert, the Republican nominee, should < not beat both of them ? Sunday Trains. We learn that the Richmond and Danville luthorities are looking into the advisability 3f running Sunday trains over the Columbia and Greenville rpad, and the probability is, that Sunday trains will be put on the road at no distant day. Some of the employees of the road feel sure that Sunday trains will not be continued? even if started?for the simple reason that the people will not travel on Sunday. If they wont travel on Sunday, and the "shoofly* train is run at an expense, the old road must be in a bad way. CALLED THE WRONG MAN A LIAR. Capt. Vt'niiiinmnker, a Distinguished and Useful Citizen of Oratigrrkui'u;. is Slain in ItPsentiiM'nt lor Insirlt Offered to a Hulct and I*?>ac<>al?lo Citizen. News a7ul Courier. Mr. O. II. Wiengessaid that he was with Mr. Wise, and that bearing this talking In the street they had walked down to where it was, and they saw that Capt. Wannamakcr and .Mr. II. L. Ilerlong were having a good n.any words. The discussion was in reference to the Talbertaflair. Capt. Wannamakcr said: "Ilerlong, you have reported that rifles were carried to this Alliance meeting for the purpose of breaking this meeting up." Hcrlong replied that he denied saying that there were ritles carried there, but that he had seen one nt the meeting. Capt. Wannamaker told Herlong that he was a liar and the truth was not in him. Then Capt. Wannamaker said to Herlong: "What have you got that knife in your hand for?' Capt. Wannamaker also i:ad a knife in his hand at that time. Wannamaker said: "Do you iutend to cut me with that knife?" Herlonj;sald: "You bet- < ter not touch me." Capt. Wannamaker said: "I have told you that you were a liar and the* 1 truth was not in you, and if auy touching Is to be done you ought to touch me; it's not my I Hi ace to touch you," anu saying mis <_upi. Wannamaker put his knife in his pocket. Wannaniaker told Herlong that he (Herlong) was a coward and a liar and that a negro would not believe him. After some further words wituess said to Capt. Wannaniaker: 'Captain, you have said enough to the man; now come on and let'8 get a drink." 1 said [Ills to the crowd, my motive being to get Capt. Wannamalter and Herlong away from ?ach other. Capt. Wannaniaker said all right, we'll go, and started of!', the Captain uid witness going side by said. The witness said Capt. Wannaniaker walked laster than I lid, and had gained one pace on mc in the listance of ten or fifteen steps. When Capt Wannamaker and myself started Herlong was in the rear of us. In walking the dis Lance of the ten or fifteen steps Herlong, who Had started to follow us, caught up with me. Japt. Wannamaker was saying to me that he Dated to have anything to do with a coward ike Herlong. At that moment Herlong shook himself, as if to give vent to his passion, and murmurccPsome indistinct sounds, out I could not understand what he said. Japt. Wannamaker had his back to Herlong, l>ut Ills attention was attracted by this act of Herlong. Capt. Wannamaker then turned iud while turning said : "Are you following me up for a fuss?" Herlong said: "Yes." I Japt. Wannamaker at that moment struck Herlong in the face, but it wns not more than 1 i tap, as the two were so close that a hard ?low could not be exchanged. Herlong in > ihe very instant struck Capt. Wannarraker. Witness caught Herlong and shoved him ?>ir 1 Ihe pavement. Capt. Wannamaker said: 1 'He has cut me, and cut me bad." Witness said lie saw a knife in Hcrlong's hand while tie had hold on him. i TESTIMONY OF THE PHYSICIANS. ' I)1S. A. S. Hydrlck, M. G. Salley, A. R. Able, J W. I* Poll and 1-. II. Bates concurred in the pinion that the wound which Capt. Wanna- , maker had received was sufficient to cause , Jeath. The difficulty occurred, as above staled, ibout 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and this morning at :!:40 o'clock Capt. Wannamaker , 3ied. An examination showed that the deceased was cut und r the right shoulder to a , !epth of nearly three inches, the sub clavian j irtery being almost entirely severed. Death resulted from a loss of blood and from intermil hninnn'hii?p. WHO HERLONG IS. ( Mr. Herlong, the slayer of Capt. Wanna- i maker, lives about nine mill's north of this place. He is a well-to-do farmer, and has always been known as a quiet and peaceabh- I man. lie Is at present foreman of the grand |nry of this county. The all'air is regrettUd ! un all sides. That the deed should huve been committed by a man hitherto known as a I man of quiet and unassuming habits makes it doubly a matter of regret. Iu the death of Capt. Wannamaker the 1 straightouts lose cne of the strongest men In their ranks, and the Democracy at large of South Carolina receives a severe blow. i . i GETTING READY FOR COURT. i . rite Jurors who were Drawn I.ast Thursday to Nerve at the October Term. i Jury Commissioner \V.

As was announced In last Issue, a banquet ,yhs given by our citizens on Tuesday night n honor of the completion of the G , C. ltnilroad to this point. Dr. J. C. .Maxwell, Ion. C. A. C.

" Abbeville County. " [{espouse by lion. vv. C. Henet. AlKfr whh-h :hami>aigne, and general repartee was the orler of the evening. After the doctors, lawyers, and ofllcials had .heir say, the fun became more general, In which the over bibulous seemed to take a lively interest. It was not what they said, so much as what they did not say and their excises therefor, that made it amusing to those In a condition loenjoy it. It would have required a stenographer to give a full report, but we caught an occasional one, which will serve as examples. A merchant prince, we will say, on being called on, excused himself by saying that he felt so much depressed, owing to an overabundant use of pepper sauce on bi< oysters, that he would not be able Jn I he morning to make the necessary apology to his friends for attempting to speak. A lone politician, who evidently remcmbcr?d some campulgn literature, said "his mother and Peter's wife, both lay very sick of chills and fever and he couM not remain." A young professional said : "Friends, Romans. and countrymen ; I am not here to talk, for I am c pluribus unum, non com pus men ics." Another said "he was so charmed with tlie performance of those gentlemen on the Hying Irupeze that he could not speak." The fact is, it was simply an optical illusion. The gentlemen referred to were quietly discussing I lie future of Greenwood while sitting on a billiard table in the centre ol the room. Another, who appeared to be a chorister, <aid "he couldn't speak, but he could sing," ind in his mellow dramic style begun to warble what the crowd supposed he "meant is "Little Annie Rooney." After the first itanza lie took his seat, lie was not encored. |jU?t uui null JUioi ?VIV jvp\??ivir, ?. ?*V ivere loudly called Air, one of them, with the eloqueuce of a Demosthenes, delivered himself of a beautifully prepared response, to a oast?that was not ottered to his professionhe other, simply said lie had been so terribly punched that he was not physically nble to stand before such an august body. He was :onlldcnt that his suffer ins was not sham lain. Thus ended a most pleasant occasion, ive trust to citizens and quests alike. Dr. LaFarr, of Florida, Is visiting his friend Mr. W. L. Durst.
