O- ' / . The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. ^-republished every Wednesday at 3: a year in advance. Wednesday, Oct. 22,1890. Twelve Pages. I'mifCCMMnrily Alarmed. It seeais to us that many citizens of lite State, including some of tlie editors, are un necessarily alartneii, because of the Independent movement,of which Juds;e A. C, Haskell is the head. As we understand, tlie facts a*? somewhat after this fashion : Tillman received the Democratic nomination for Governor by an overwhelming majority, and Is therefore the choice of the peopleTillman was the head or representative ol the farmer's movement, as against that class who have ruled and held office in South Carolina since 1876. The ruling class of course were greatly discom fitted at the fact that men of their own sel failed to get the offices. As far us we are able to see this is all the - -- ? ic f,ir tlie Has Ju>lino:ilioii or fituoc >m.v .? kell Boll or Independent Movement. We think a jury of disinterested men would say that the men on the Tillman ticket are good and respectable citizens against whom no disgraceful charge has been made. As Tar as we are informed, 110 one has yet denied their ability to discharge the duties of the respective offices to which they have been nominated. But admit that they are all incompetent and bad men (which they are not,) they arc certainly the choice of a majority of the l)em ocratic party, and it Is therefore the duty oi all men, who believe In arule by tlieJm?Jori ty, to support the regularly nominated ticket. No thinking man can have the least idea of Haskell's success. His followers are exceedingly few?about as the proportion of the office-holders and their friends, is to the great body of voters. About four-fifths of the State iavorcu iw nomination of Tillman. The conferences of the malcontents revealed the fact that even a majority of the remain, lng one-fifth were opposed to Independenti6m. and It was only after a call was made for per. Kons favoring the Independent ticket, that such a ticket could be put up. BThe last twenty years has furnished precedents In Bolting or Independentlsm, and we suppose no man ever boiled the regular party ticket with a weaker following than has Judge Haskell. With the best lights before as, we think it hardly probable that he will receive more thau one white voteout of llTfleen. His chief hope of strength must be with the negroes. V Tho history of the past will verify the preemption that he cannot hope to receive anything like u solid negro vole. No bolter or independent in the past, has received the solid vote of the party to whom he looked for a redress of Ills personal grievances against the party from which he had bolted. \ As Judge Haskell cannot rocelvo a full Republican vote, and as the Democratic party will give him almost no support, all this furor and abuse of a good man who Is power ess to do un hurt, U out of order. As an orthodox Democrat and ns an aspirant lor office within the party lines Judge Haskell had great influence, but as an IntUspeodeut candidate for office noml^^>^j^_oflhepartj^. 4te"ls"alniost without a fol. ^ lowing, and he canuot hope to receive a full vote from the negroes. Under these circumstances it is foolishness L for any one to entertain a thought of his election. Judge Hnslsell has given great sorrow to his I old friends in Abbeville, who have honored him in the past, and have given him their j full confidence and good will, but they are amazed at his recent action. They are hu | millaied that the press and the speakers of j Uie stute have applied to him coarse epithets and have spoken so harshly of him. Tliey do not know him as do the people o: Abbeville. He is Abbevlllo county's beloved son. whose mistake has given much sorrow, but still they have respect for him and Ills high character. They cannot and do not believe that he would surrender their good will even to fill "a friendless throne." Aud when all this .excitement 1* over, ami r>;* 1^.? when the Independent ticket shall have been beaten so badly that the actors will be mortlthe effect of the battle will remain forever. Bo thoy over ?o honorable and patriotic, | yetltistruo that to a greater or less extent political odium will follow them In their vain - und fruitless effort to establish themselves In office, by defeating the will of a majority of Ihelr fellow-citizens. For this reason the Pioss and Banner earnestly trusts that these men may withdraw from their fight against the clearly expressed will of an unprecedented majority of the Democratic party. The Peoj>l? Indignant. The people feel jiutiy Indignant that a small minority of citizens have put up a tick * et for the express purpose of defeating the regularly nominated candidates of the I)emo? omIIa nnrfv nn<l nftPr r(!ff 1 VillET tlie first shock at the information that certain Democrats had bolted the ticket, they have rallied and will with a unanimity not surpassed since 1870, put forth their best efforts to aasert and uphold Democratic supremacy. Independentism is Independentlsm, and Radicalism is Radicalism, no matter who attempts to make It respectabio in South Carolina, and true Democrats everywhere ought to support the Democratic tickct. Democratic Meeting. On Monday October 27, lS'JO, tho Democrat lc voters of Abbeville County will hold a mass meeting at Abbeville Court llotise to discuss the political situation, and to pledge themselves anew to uphold and defend Democratic rule In South Carolina against all Radicals, Negroes, Independents or whomsoever may presume under whatever guise, to oppose good and honest government in South Carolina. A Chestnut. The discussion of Tillman, nnd the Individ ual assertion that it is humiliating to support him is out of order, and lias become a long haired chestnut. It isn't a question of Tillman or Haskell, ii I* the question of Democratic or Republican rule in South Carolina. If the Democrats arc defeated, the State is gone. Open Ticket. Let every Democrat vote an open ticket, so that the people may know who goes back on the Democratic party. Death of .MIkk Wattle Harper. Whereas. In the mysterious providence f<> God Miss Muttle Harper, one of our Sunday school scholars, has been removed from us by death. Therefore be It resolved by the itidge Sunday school 1st. That in the death of Miss Mattie Harper the Sunday school has lost a good scholar, one In every sense an honor to our school, and the community an earnest Christian whose beautiful character was a living benediction to all, In fact one whom all loved and honored. 2nd.

Ahlieville Is Now Placed in Direct Communication Willi tlie Outside World, and the People Have Reason to Itejoiee. Last Saturday, October IP, 1MH), was a notable and historic day for the town of Abbeville. While the surging, moving, elbowing crowd filled the public square, and the surrounding streets, the track-layers on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Kail road were doing their work. They did it so quietly that many did not knowot their coining, although avast multitude did know of it, and were piesent to witness the laying of the last rail at Abbeville. At four o'clock, Major Lee and Judge Ale* Uowan made appropriate remarks, when Miss Mamie Lou Smith drove the last spike. Judge McGowan proposed three cheer?, and the ceremonies, though unpretentious, were over. Every rann in Abbeville rejoices at tne goou fortune wliich lias befallen the town. We will henceforth be placed on the great iron highway lrom Kast lo West, and will have the satisfaction of knowing that we will in future have at least two str.ngs to our bow. The outside world has been putin communication with Abbeville, and it '? hoped that we may become citizeus of the world. The tracklayers put in a "switch" at Abbeville yesterday, and it is thought that the track will be surfaced up, and that regular trains will be put on the road about the first of November. The first engine to come was No. 503, a fortyfive ton Baldwin engine. Mr. J. L. Hutehins laid the track from Long Cane la less tlmn four days, and Mr. K. II. Gray pulled the throttle valve of the largest engine ever seen in Abbeville. Contributed LockIn. AuiiKVILLK C. U? S. C., Oct. 22, 1890. Slight frost last Monday morning.

Thompson and has let the contract for building already. We hope this Is true, as Abbeville is proud to claim such a citizeu permanently. Dr. i'homsou has purchased a lot and we :iear will build at once. "M" has a beiiutitul building lot fronting on Magazine Street 100 feet, by 220 depth which he will Bell for cash to any one wishing to build, and who will promise to be a <ootl neighbor. Property is rapidly advancing in Abbeville, ind if you wish to buy now Is tiie tune, lieal estate has advanced largely, and parties >wning lots are almost afraid to price tnem.

Last Monday Mr. John llemlnger and son of Wiiliugton with the ladies were shopping in the city. Dr. Carlton of Mt. Gunnel was In town one iay la*t week. The Doctor looks well and reports a tine and growing practice, and judging from the style in wliicli he travels we would not gainsay his report. The correspondents of the Fi ess and Banner tie delighted at its great success l.i the way >f advertisements?but at the same time are a little disappointed at their "dots" being left out?indeed they are us newsy letters irom all section and are missed as such.

Some of the most, prominent iwui-Tilltnnn papers, and many of the more prominent clt izens are Inclined, in fact do call, Tillman and his ticket, National, State and county, a dish of crow tlint is hard for thetn to swallow. Leaving oil' the prominent," we confess to being one of that number. We are one of the thousands In tnis State to whom patriotism and pliil int hropy alone makes the dish at all palatable. We vote for Tillman only through deference to a majority of our fellow-citizens, lie in our Judgment having made the nearest approach to a Democratic nomination. At the satne time we do not consider that heeven in these troublous times?is above criticism, nor that his opponent, Judge Haskell, is yet without honor, to whom such honor should be accorded. To this end, we remark, that Mr. Tillman's declaration that "bloodshed, if necessary, would put bim In the Gubernatorial chair" was very much out o' place,and very unfortunate to say the least. Unless we are mistaken In Judge Haskell's record, he Is a gentleman to the manor born, a soldier and a patriot; unless he pushed lil.> men to the trout Instead of leading tliein on many of the most hotly contested battle fields of Virginia: unless lie was shot to pieces (evidences of which he now carries on liis person) with his back instead of Ills ?j?rg~ to the foe; unless he had nothlng^Jtf'do with the expulslonpf.'lwtV0ttfe1?r'ftIJnr our StateHHWt~"F)eTieve that he is not to be Intimidated by the braggadocio of any man, much less the bombast of a man who does not. know how gunpowder smells, and who never saw human gore enough to wet a peck of sand.

On Wednesday evening the caseof theState against Isaac Frasor was again taken up, nnd Isaac was tound guilty of both charges preferred against him, viz., resisting an otlluer and aggravated assault, nnd currying n concealed weapon. For the first otleiive Isaac was sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars, or bo conrmeu in me l'eiiuenuary ior u term of six inontlis , and for t lie second, lie was sentenced lo pay a fine of IMy dollars, or be Imprisoned In the Stale prison three months. Dock Yarborough having been found not siulltyof burglary and huc -tiy. was discharged from the custody of the Mn rill'. WllllaniTucltor pleaded guilty (o tnech.arge of grand larceny, and \v.n sentoneed to imprisonment in the IVnlieutiary for one year. The next case tried elicited more Interest than any case tried at tins term. The court room was crowded to hear the trial oi the three little neijro boys indicted tor murder. Their trial consumed about four hours, and the Jury returned in an hour with a verdict of entity as to Samuel Nance and Marion j Nance, and not guilty iik to Alfred Johnson. Sain and Marlon were sentenced to be banned on December 5th. Alfred Jolnmju has since died. ISrlellv, the following facts were brought out In the trial of the ease: Sam and Marion I are brothers, of about 11 and 12 years of aire, respectively. Thev are orphans, anil lived vvitli an aunt and uncle, Ida and Nelson Nash, on sabbath morning, August in, Ida went to church, leaving two buys ut home. Very soon after Ida left, Nelson was on his knecsallhc lire-place putiiiis 0:1 dinner, when Sam slip I pud up hehtud iiim and struck liini in the back of the head with the blade oi a hatchet, j Nelson arose, staggered to the door, mid fell Into the yard on his face. Marlon ihcn struck lilin one blow with tan axe, when Sam took iheaxeand struck the dying man a number Of blows. Then, to conceal the evidence rf their horrible crime, they tied a rope around the dead man's legs and brought his horse from the lot, attached a single tree to Hie rope, hitched the horse thereto, and dragg< d him n<-ross the lidd to a dltcli, where lhey deposited the body and threw a few pine biush over it. lie was there discovered by his wife the next morning; and when the neighbors I were notltied, the two little boj s were accused | of the murder, and laughingly confessed to every detail of the crime. They accused a neighbors boy of complicity l.? the need, and while it appeared that he (Alfred Johnson) was present after the killing, ho had not been an accessory. The Nsince boys at first, assigned as a cause for what had been done inhuman cruelly on the part of their uncle and said lie had threatjened to kill them. Later they said his wife had them to kill Nelson. There was no evidence to prove these charges. When sentence aawittiti rn jaagMMggag^igttgagagg of death wns twined, Ihe prisoners were-not perceptibly affected, and it is doubtful if they knew that what the Judue said meaht death to them In lewt than two months. Mr. W. C. McGownn, who represented the condemned prisoners, has circulated a petition praying the Governor to commute thelrsentence to imprisonment in the penitentiary. The extreme youth of the boys is the basis of the petition. It Is being generally signed, an<? notably by the .Judge and each member of the Jury who heard the case. The next case was also a murder case. John Connor was accused of having shot a young woman, with malace a forethought, John pleaded that the?hoollng was accidental The Jury wanted to enter a mistrial, but were ordered baclf to their room. They then brought In a verdict of manslaughter. John was sent to the penitentiary ior lour yearn. He was represented by Frank B. Uary, Kill).
