The Press and Banner By HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1891. Home Again. Mr. P. Rosenberg, of the firm of Messrs. P. Rosenberg Co., has just returned from the Northern markets, whither he had cone to buy a splendid stock of goods in every department. Finding the prices satisfactory, lie bought even more largely than he intended when he left home. His sagacity as a buyer, and the fair dealing of the members of his firm, has established a big trade, which increases every year, no matter what the price of cotton. They always let the people know what they have In stock, and always do as they promise. Their customers are always pleased, and bring their friends with them to trade. o His Twenty-First Birth Day. Mr. Charles P. Hammond celebrated his twenty-tirst birth-day, last Thursday night in a manner which made It a most happy occasion for a number of his young friends. He Is a graduate of Woflbrd College, and is now in the active pursuits of life with the most promising prospects. Being practical and full of energy he is bound to succeed iu business, and we hope in matrimony, too. We believe in all sorts of money?silver money, gold money, paper money, and matrimony. ? ? ?? Abbeville Always Gets the Rest. Mr. T. A. Spellman,of Anderson, will come lo our town and take an office In the store of Messrs. O. P. Heath Js Co., where he will be prepared lt> give tip top prices for all cotton that may come to the town. Messrs. Heath A: Co., are energetic, thoroutjh-goin:: mer chants, and they intend to make things lively this winter?hence they secured a firstclas cotton buyer. Rnse Kit 11 This Evening. The railroad nine will play a match game with the town nine at the "V" of the C. & X., at half past four o'clock. The public, and especially the ladies, are invited, and the merchants are respectfully invited to close their stores and enjoy the game. A Curiosity. Messrs. I. V. and.W. E. C. Vermillion, of Donalds, send us a curious specimen of tree. Jt is a sprout some twelve inches long, on which is a full grown acorn.

Years ago we had a school association composed of citizens who stood for' the pay. The trustees, were appointed somehow, we don't know how, and they in turn elected a teacher. Although the trustees were the best men in town they couldn't please the people. Let the people elect their own teacher. They never grumble at their own act. The trouble with our schools has been, that we are governed too much. A school which Is run by the trustees, and a teacher of their own selection has never given satisfaction for any length of time. Let the people elect their trustees and their teachers, and let them vote a tax to support the teachers of their choice. We will find no relief in the school troubles If we are incompetent to elect our own trustees and teachers. We had school associations to pay the teachers in the past. Dissatisfaction was felt. If we raise money by taxes, and do not elect our teachers, no good lesult will lollow. Mr. Bob k. Hod(je.s, of Hodges, has a stalk of corn with twenty-six distinct ears of corn -twenty-four In the tassel and two on the stalk. Those on the tassel are about the size of pop-corn ears, and those on the stalk are of the ordinary size. Mr. E. L. Oldham after an absence of some two years in the West has returned to his old home at Greenwood. He will iu the future make Greeuwood his home and says there is 110 place like South Carolina. His many trlends here are glad to see him. rations for rheir fall stock which is now being Kelected by Mrs. Had don at the great center of fashion. In a few Ua.vs their large store . room will be filled with the choicest goods in the market. Mr. Johnnie Coi-eman, of Coronaca, becan clerklrig yesterday for Mr. W. Joel Smith. He is an excellent young mnn and has done well to get a position with so worthy a gentleman as Mr. Smith. To appoint school trustees and school teachers is taxation without representation. The right way to do is to elect trustees and teachers by the patrons and tax payers. Thk new schedule on the G.. C. <fc N. went into effect yesterday. The Northbound train passes Abbeville at 9:20 instead of 0:10, as heretofore. In tbe future let us have less of the Iron rule In the school business. Tbe wisest and best men In tbe world can't select teachers for I'? Messrs. Bradley, Lyon and Brown have finished the Monuli hridue, across Little Kiver, and it has been received. The County Institute lor Colored Teachers will be held tn the Court House from the 7th, to the 12th September, inclusive. The people arc stirred up on the subjects of schools. 11 might be well enough for you to take some interest in it. Rkv. W. G. Neville, the Christian gentleman and able preacher, is in town. Mrs. Neville Is in C okesbury with relatives. There will be an ice cream festival in Latimer on next Friday, September 14tli, for the benefit of the school house. Miss Lula N. Williams, of Greenwood, won the Wlnthrop Training School scholarsnip. I k we are incompetent to elect our teachers and trustees, the less tax we pay the better. Will you deny the taxpayers the right to vote for the teacher, whoscsalary he pays? Misses Rebecca and Lucia Seal are visiting relatives at Cokesbury. The Sunday School Convention has been in session since yesterday morning. Mks. K. M. Haddon left last Thursday for New York, to select her fall slock. Advanced styles in winter dress goods, may be seen at Haddons. Is a father incompetent to vote for a teachcr of his own children ? Pkop. Cork's school at Ninety-Six will opeu September 11th.

Tbe Electric Street Hallway is in succei operation to the great convenience of citizens and visitors, affording cheap t.r portation through the principal streets, in two instances, upon mountains se\ miles distance from the city.

The wealth of vn r, the country was scattered, owned by the people at. all e large. To day .'KMI men ill the United States own half th I of Its "wealth; 4<).U<lil men own lonr.llfths of it?cor- te tailily three quarters of it. I am not srlving the (isr- tli ures exactly. Imt if they are a little too Inrtrit it is not bii from a desire to misrepresent, hut that I wish to give tii yon an adequate conception of the conditions. de Why nre there so many millionaires now? It is !>? su cause nf favoritism on the part of the Federal Gov- sti eminent anil class legislal inn for certain interests by which millionaires are muliipiicd on the one hand and , paupers on the other, and 1 am sorry that we have 8u MOKE THAN OKU SHARE OFTIIK I'At'l'EKS. til y How has this been brought about ? The debt Gi r which was contracted to compter the Southern pco- |?l if pie. the bonds which were issued were bought at 50 pi it cents on the dollar and pafd for In greenbacks. Then ur ii the National l>anking Act ciimc along to "strengthen th the credit of the Government." anil then special legls- re lalion making the debt payable in gold, interest and co ,3 principal. "a y The National banking system allowed the bond- hn It holder to draw the interest on his benils. to lend 90 di 1 percent of their value to the people at whatever ins tercst lie could obtain ; and thus was laid the fuunda. tion ot some of the colossal fortunes made since the .... c war. I?y giving the control of the currency into the ; d hands of these men, with power to expand and eon- ,l r tract as their interest dictated, to depress the farming . ; interest at will, explains tin- reason why the million,1 aires grew fast and paupers become plentiful; TIIF. TAX ON COTTON TIES. ill Jj Then comes the tariff: but that is too b'g a ques- iin tion to touch. I will simply call your attention to 11,1 ? one inquiry as a sainplc.of howit works?the tax on th [* cotton lies, which, by the McXinley bill, was raised Irom -i") per cent ad valorem to 135 per cent, adding a lit ] cost of SO to ftJ cents to each bundle of tirs used, and I' l, which gives over two milloii dollars to about half a ah dozen manufacturers. I need go no further than that AJ one illustration, which you will all understand, in ' iiut not content with making the debt payable in w' * gold In 1ST3, 'Hi lb THAT AUi:l< K EXP, .IOIIN SIIF.KMAN, st| sneaked through Congress the demonetization of l)i s silver.

Kinds words make other people m1 natured. Cold words freeze jple, and hot words irritate them. i il sarcastic words irritate them, and ter words make them bitter, and athful words make them wrathful. rhere is such a rush of all other ids of words, in onr days, that it ms desirable to give kind words change among them. There are u words, ana hasty words, and teful word, and silly words, and stcrous words. Cind words also produce their own uge on men's souls. And a beau- .s il image it is. They sooth, and M iet, and comfort the hearer. They jl tme him out of his sour, morose, unid feelings.
