The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. v Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. I . i Wednesday, April 20,1892 \ Don't Mkc tlicfr Own H?liciiio. Eight more mechanics have been discharged from the railroads shops at Columbia, and the reason given lor their discharge was lack of work for them. The discharged mechanics were all supporters ot Gov. Tillman, and of course thi> accounts lor their discharge. We wish to say to these Ilaskellites, Knsorltes aud Independents that the boycott against the icnorant cornfield ueuro would not work In 1876, and you will find that the intelligent white men of this State will not submit to any such bulldozing.?Evening Democrat. The plan of boycotting is greatly to be regretted, and those who have been boycotted and warred against have been slow to adopt the reprehensible methods of the adversary. Two or three years ago individuals banded together?and organized a system of boycotting such newspapers and business firms as did not fall Into their way of thinking on questions of public interest. While the boycot is un-American, nn-Pcmocratic and even violates the statute laws or the State, yet when one party enters upon such a warfare is it to be expected that the Injured side must submit forever? For more than two years certain individuals, either as corporate bodies, or as individuals, have openly proclaimed the boycot against people who did not agree with them in politics. T>.kp. for instance, the Cotton Plant, which unblushin^ly even at tbis late day, claims to be an "organ," and speaking for a large and respectable portion of the people of South Carolina, encourgcs the people to do for tlie honest newspapers 01 the state the very act which the Democrat regards as so reprehensible in the railroads, namely: That they the people, should boycot or subscribe for no newspaper wblch does not fall into their way of thinking on debatable questions of public concern. Now, we admit that the boycot by the railroads, if boycot there is, is against public policy; but we would like for the Democrat to explain how the boycot Is commendable on the part of alliancemen.or Tillman men. and a system to be commended In them, while the same method is so wrong in the railroads. The Government itself seems to be using official power to crush corporations out of existence, or else to force tbem ,to pay more than pro rata share of tiieir taxes, and the Tillman newspapers and the Tillman orators are pitchiog the coming campaign on a plane of warfare against corporations. t Should the Railroad* Defend Them* Mel vent. Must the corporations remain idle and * take no part in defending themselves against unjust encroachments upon their property? Are they disinterested spectators while one party Is seeking to confiscate their property to pay the taxes which should be borne alike by all citizens? The stockholders of the Richmond Terini' nai Company can now realize only about fifteen cent6on the dollar of their stock. The stockholders of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad have not received a dividend since the war, and their slock is not worth ten cents in the dollar. The law authorizes the Railroad Com. missioners to reduce the charges for freight and transportation, and now the Government Itself proposes to take from them. in the way of taxes, an exhorbitant sum for the support of the Government. The railroads pay liberal wages, and for every place, they have perhaps half dozen applicants. Tuen, If alleged newspapers, and self-convicted ' organs," may openly advocate the boycotof decent and honed newspapers, may not the railroads give their fat offices to their friends ? The I'erKretltwl Railroads. Let us cite a fact or two. At Abbeville we have vthe oldest railroad employee in the Stale. He helped to lay the iron <:n the Columbia and Greenville railroad, and remained continuously in i:s service, until uboutone year ago, when ihe infirmities of age disabled him from the active duties which the service required. What did the railroad Company do? Turn him olf ? ?o; they didn't do that, hut they allowed him to quit him work, and placed his name on the pay roll at $i() a mouth. Well, now, we would like to ask any reasonable man if it would not be the basest ingratitude If bis fellow-trainmen should vote for State officers whose avowed purpose is to levy unjust and unfair assessments upon the railroads? Joint DHciisnIoiin. Recent developments lend us to believe that no good can come of joint discussions of t lie political Issues. If it be well to have public meetings, would it not be the proper thing for each side to have it* own meeting to which the opposition might be present as spectators, and then bo required to behave themselves. Iniendant R. McGowan Hill says if a public meeting is held at Abbeville that he will have police present to lead disturbers of the meeting oil" the iiround and to the guard house. K:tilro:??l Wreckers. For a life time, the people of south Carolina liave labored earnestly lor the building of railroads in the State, and there is not a County within her borders that has not voted taxes for these iron highways. Thousands of patriotic citizens have contributed of their private means to the construction of these arteries of trade and promoters of commerce. But recently the railroad wreckers have entered politics, and by the use of the strong arm of the law they are striving to extort from these benefactors unjust, unfair and even uniawtul taxation. It is for the people to say whether the rail J roud wreckers shall remain in power. ? i? * mm ? Tlie Speakers Can Slop It. It has been suggested to u?, and we believe the suggestion a good one, that the howling down process could be stopped, if the speakers would make an agreement among them selves toquit the stand if any 01 tneir nuiu- j ber were prevented from speaking. One tiling is certain, if we cannot have or-1 der, we ought not to have the joint meetings. The ItoycottiiiK ItiisiiirsN.

HAPPY EDITORS. The Press hikI Banner Tnkos a Mlllf Trip to See to Some of His Journalistic Brethren. Recently we took a short run to Monroe, X. C., to see our frien<l. Mr. \V. J. Roy I In. who prints the Monroe Enquirer, one of the most progressive newspapers in the old North State. We went by way of Chester and Rock Ilill, two of the most progressive towns In this State. Four hours were spent in Chester, the most of the time being with Mr. Hicham, a brother among the types, who lias a good job office, and has a good run of custom. Owing to the tact that the editors of the town newspapers were in Court we did not see them. Mr. Rlgham married pretty Miss Mary Miller ot Due West, soon after she Graduated In Ht the Female College, where she bore oir the honors of the institution. They h?ve little children now. who are the light and the joy of the household. May blessings rest them them. < Chester Is a busy place, and the signs of enterprise and thrift are everywhere apparent. Leading Chester at six o'clock, we were soon In Rock Hill, and immediately spt oul to tlnd our good friend Mr. J. J. Hull of the Rock Hill Herald who, publishes a newspaper of which Rock HIM Is very proud, and which stands high with the journalistic brethren. The paper Is true and loyal to all the best Interests of Rock Hill, and in turn every business tirm In town gives advertising and job printing to the office, .inn every immily in town subscribes for the paper. Mr. Hull's prosperity in business, and his abundant happiness at home is to be envied by his less fortunate brethren who either do not prosper or have failed to prove that marring is a success. He has iatelv built a splendid dwelling house on an eligible lot. and a charming family make t.he realization of a bachelor's best dream This editor feels conscious of the /act that he has thrown away his life. Alter spending a night with the Herald the Press and Manner spent a half the next day in town. ?oine over the city and In meeting some of tbeuood people who have liuili such a splendid town within the last ten years. iMajor White took us driving over the Oeautiiul eltv, and Brother Hull did the agreeable in a hundred ways. As a matter ol tact, we think the Abbeville people should go abroad more than they do, itnd they ougni to Send the tuwa council on a tour of inspection. bo ttial the.) might receive the inspiration wnich might aftei winds inlect the remaining portion ol our eiuzens. At two o'eiuek lu the afternoon we bhl adieu to Kock Hill and lic-r tnriiiy people, and by fouro'Clock we were in Monroe, where we met the mosi energetic man in town?the L.inur ol lhe Enquirer. We went signi-seeing in the old historic city, and weiedelighieu with nil that we saw and heard. That night was spent in the hospitable home of Mr. BoyI in winch is a good one indeed, and repieseut* some of the earnings ol the Enquirer. Hut the cliietest and iichetti estate ol that editor, like that of Brother Hull, consisted ol lhe family cireife. Jlc, like .Mr. Mull, has ball dozen children?all hoys, except one. Hie baby. At tnis pleasant home there was a charming >oung lady, whose beauty and allracti ve grace, like the young ladies at Brother Hull's, made us tiiiuK oi Dr. Wilson\s prayer, iu which he said 'give us a lie# heart, and a new umiie."

Our enterprising neighbor of the Monroe ICnquirer has one the proper tiling iu publishing a complete list of its subscribers, together with the post ofllee address ol each, and the date to which they have paid their subscriptions. No country paper can make a better showing. The list embraces the names of a host of I lie bust people In North Carolina, anu me promptness with whicn they have paid for (lie paper Is a testimonial for them and an honor to the enterprising editor. The great number oi subscribers to the Enquirer and their promptness to pay, is remarkable tor u country paper. While we think the publication of the subscription list a most excellent plan in every way. yet we do not think that many of the North Carolina editors will submit their books to public inspection. The Press and tianner realized so much pleasure in the exhibition of n large Jist of subscribers about a year ago, that we expect to repeat tlie experiment, possibly next winter.

The early dawn of Raster was ushered in b.v !an April shower which seemed like tears of ! rejoieint: as 1 hey glistened upon the flowers j like diamonds, causing them to lilt, their [graceful heads in praise, while'all nature clad j in her lints of early Spring seemed to rejoice. ! and lite sweet, birds of the wildwood in their ! sweetest, songs joined in swelling the grand j anthem, -The Lord is risen to day." I As we mused upon the calm ami beautiful I day, our thoughts intuitively wandered back through the lone tliuht.of time to the sepulchre so closely guarded by a cohovt of Roman soldiers, and made more secure by the "Great. Homnn Seal^'and for what ? Only for fear that He who said: "Destroy this temple, and In three days I will raise It." might come forth forth from the grave. Ueliold. it is an angel's hand that rolls away the great slone from the door of the sepulcher. and when the fai'hfnl women, who were last at the orrss and first at ihe tomb, arrived, they found that what he had said was true, for by his mighty power tlie .'crueltied one" had burst Ihe bands of death asunder, and robbed the grave wo vininre f'ominc forth as conqueror over d?ath and the grave to reign ns Lord of lor's. King of kings. It is tlien that earth and heaven unite in swelling the grand anthem of praise: "The Lord is risen indeed, lie lives to die no more." What a grand, beautiful, sublime thought, that ho who t Iutnphed over death, hell and the grave Is our Saviour and now sits at the right hand of the Father to make intercession for all mankind. At the usual hour for morning worship the hells of every church pealed forth their sweetest chimes, and large congregations assembled to list-en to the word of God as spoken by the ambassadors. Rev. J. I,. Wilson, D. D , tilled the pulpit in the Presbyterian church, preaching an excellent sermon from the text. "And to the blood of sprinkling that, speaketh belter things than that of Abel.*' Rev. J. I,. Vass, superintendent of the Greenwood Orphanage preached In tlie Rao list church from the text: " i n vish me m?uerless and widows in their atllicllon, and to keep himself unspoited from the world." Kev. K. Y. Tressly of the Associate Reformed church preached a tine sermon from the text?"And if Christ he not raised, your falh is vain : ye are yet in your sins." Kev. W. H. Ilanckel, rector of Trinity church, prpnehed a most excellent sermon? subject: "Christ's Resurrection." It?v. Marlon Dargan filled the pulpit in the Methodist church, preaching a beautiful Eas ler sermon from the text: "The Lord is risen Indeed, he lives to die no more." The Episcopal church was beautifully decorated, with garlands of evergreens, and mottoes suggestive of the blessed Easter morning greeted the eyp. while everywhere exquisite flowers filled the air with their richest perfume, and bowed their graceful heads as they too joined In the crand refrain, "Christ the Lord is risen today." The decorations In the Methodist Church were charming, more beautiful perhaps than on any other Easter day in the past. They certainly were in design and artistic arrangement, someihlng entirely new for Abbeville. A shining crown of purest, gold and richest gems was placed high In the background ol the pulpit; snowy curtains hung in graceful folds, carelessly draped over a large mirror, on which were trailing vines of Ivy. Just. In front ol these stood a large cross of purest while, airund which three while (loves were poised in mid air, just ready to light. Closing in all this lovely scene were two lattice gates of white, from one of which was suspended a golden chain and lock, while the other stood half open, representing the "Gate's ajar," Garlands of green gracefully climbed the snow white walls, while brightest flowers peeped out here and there, j pproprlate mottoes in letters of gold were placed upon either side ot the pulpit. Bui the most beautiful of all was a memorial scroll made of pure white jonquils and lilacs, across which was written In golden hned roses the name "Nellie." This was Indeed a beautiful tribute of love and esteem for the memory of Miss Nellie H ill, who was with us last Eas ?'tin on Mils Kas uer, oniy tiiiw jcm , .... ter is singing with the angels. Her sweet voice is heard no more on earth, but is chanting with the heavenly choir the "glad new song." The choir rendered several beautiful Easter anthems in their best style. .Miss Mattel Claire Upehurch sang in the | Episcopal Church In the afternoon, and at night In the Methodist church she sang most beautifully. In a clear sweet voice "The Lord Is my shepherd," and "One sweetly solemn thought." These two pieccR wetesum: hefore a large and most appreciative congregation. The Sunday School choir met In the Kfler1 noon and was led by Mrs. Cnogler In that grand anthem "I am the resurrection," which, although a difficult piece of music, was sung beautifully and In good time, showing that the amateur singers had been well trained. M. - ADDITIONAL ITEMS. ? . And Further Descriptions of Ilie Dec-1 orations. AT TIKINITY CttUHltCH. Trinity Church, notwithstanding the cold I late season which kept hack the flowers, was | heatiiliully and e laborately decorated Ihis Easter. The chance! held three large Gothic arches, which were covered respectively With Ji*s?amme, wild axilla, and narcissus; a trinity oi color, yellow pink, and white. The lout. wa? a mound of lovely hot-house Dowers, while aroun?l the rail 01 ine cnancei | rose at intervals tall calla-llliis on, purple anc) I white Iris, growing together. A tall whito | cross in front nt the central window had a! garland of brilliant yellow blossoms around | it, while the same color was repented in the sacred monogram "I. II. affixed to the | white communion cloth. The Gothic character of the chancel was repealed in the point-! ed arches made by the looped garlands be-1 tween each window, below these, were ban-j ners covered Willi glossy magnolia leaves j lapping each 01 her like tlsh-seali s and each j bearing some device in gold on their dark-i green surface?the cross, the crown, the Al-| pha and Omega, and others. The vestibule <>l the church held a tall cross, wreathed with white iris and rising from a banK of wild violets. To right and left of the chancel-rail was a pyramid of palms, begonias, and callas; above these the words: "Christ our Passover;" ''Christ Ik risen." The whole backgroui d of chancel railing and ehoir, was covered with a tracery of ivy, which looked as if growing there and made a novel and beautiful effect. This account does but poor justice to the harmony and beauiy of the whole design which we heard several persons say, was the best ever seen in Trinity Church, and this, despite the absence of roses or indeed any ol the out-door flowers, save wild ones. The music with Miss Cuddie Colhoun at the organ wa? hearty, full and sweet. In the afternoon, when tins church was crowded with members of oilier churches to It ils utmost capacity, Miss Mabel Upchureh added to the mime two numbers, a solo '-I heard the Voice of .lens say." and a duet with Mr. Henct, Millard's arrangemnt of! "Non E. Ver," to the hymn "To Thy Temple I repair," which were much enjoyed. AT THE METHODIST CHUHCJI. As usual tlie Methodist Church was decora-1 Ifil lor Easter in an extremely handsome and j artistic style, though the designs ol decoraIIoil were entirely different from any hereto- I fore. The scene within the chancel represented j "Gates Ajar" with a ullmpse of Paradise t?e-| yond. Ttie nates were of pearly white and gold twined witli delicate vines and Dowers. On (lie wall above the sates was suspended a j jeweled crown emitting rays of light in u far ol! misty atinosphere. The chancel railing was hanked with hand-1 some loliage with here and there a cluster of j bright. (lowers. Justin Irontof the chancel was a mound of calla lilhes of exquisite purity and beauty, at I the iiase of which reclined an emblematic 1 lamb. In the vacant places about the chaii-j eel were placed stands of handsome cut Mowers for winch Abbeville is so noted. Placed in a very prominent position was a' large while marble cross twined with jasemine around which hovered three white doves. On I lie pulpit was a handsome white satin] scarf Willi the hand painted design of a white dove in Highland the words "lie is Kit-en" in ! Kill. | On the walls on either side of (lie channel I were the mottoes in uilt "tllory to (*od in the I I Highest" and "Hail the Day that saw Him ltlse." In the niche on the right of tlieeiianeel was an emblematic cross and crown with the Initials"!. U.S." in the center ol the crown. In ' i the niche on the lelt was placed an- exouisite ' - ~ ..I ...

The design was a scroll of white satin and (lowers, with the name "Nellie*'in yellow roses. It was a loving heart and an artistic hand that wrought this beautiful tribute. The walls were gracefully draped with garlands and the choir recess was a bower of choice flowers. The charin of nil this beautiful scene was enhanced by the mellow flood of light which entered through the rich colored cathedral glass windows. The service was opened by the organist with a grand, deep and rich toned Instrumental prelude and voluntary by full choir?

" ? t He Shows Hint llio Ileal Deficiency In n $<i.S32, Instead of $1,400, as Claim- ^ ed hy the Delegation. v Editor Press and Banner: A tain lam forced Ititoprlnlon the county 'J tax levy. Most of the delegation have re- * plied to my letter and claim that their course ' was justified hy the facts. I cannot so see It. ' ' Was not our delegation Informed, ofllcial- j ly, that the levy as proposed by them was too low, and if not increased that a deficiency '' would he the result?" They all admit this. ? and. therefore, my point is carried, hut they seek to Justify themselves behind columns of " figures. The Issue very simple, viz: wnat levy was demanded and what, was levy allowed ? Ulg tigures, Mr. Editor, are to tbe average mind flittering generalities. The "levy" is . simple ? figures bewildering. But as my . friends seem to want figures my only objee- ( tion is that they have not made theirs "big" enough. 1 I admit that when I made my speech on * March ISth, I had not examined the County ? Commissioners office, but spoke only from what had been told me by Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, V one of the Commissioners, but I have now given the records that "closer and calmer In- , spection" which the delegation commends } and that "inspection" thoroughly sustain Mr. ? DuPre. " Let us see: I find the case stronger than I first pat.it. Instead of 3!4 the County Commissioners ask- . ed lor 4 mills. " Mr. DuPre did precede his demand with r some figures?estimates only?but the gist ol ' thedeniandsentto the delegation Is in these final words. "It will he necessary to raise. , "1. For ordinary county purposes 3Vv mills. v ' 2. For past indebtedness % mills. "Total levy necessary 4 mills. v "[Signed,] Joel W. Llt.es, . "J. F. C. DuPre, "County Commissioners." Be it remembered that the "corresnondenoe" referred to, was had between Mr. Du- ' Pre and the chairman of the delegation after * this estimate was snbmlttad, when Mr. DuPre wrote that I f the levy was put at 3 mills as tiie delegation desired, a deficiency would be the result. (I regret that I have Dot copies of Mr. DuPre's letters, but I have his word for r 'U ? The deficiency which properly belongs to " lSitil-91 Is a great dt-al more than SI,5-12. There were two bridges, viz: The Boyd's . mill bridge and the Heart's mill bridge which " tiie Commissioners knew would be built when , the levy was made In December, 1890. Mr. L DuPre so informed the chairman of the delegation, and It was to meet 1 his expense thai J as much as 4 mills whs demanded. These v bridges were to have been completed during the fiscal year which ends November 1st. The n contractors were a little b*hlt>d with their work and t bey accounts were not approved uti !. til the meetingof the Commissioners on Sale- c day in December, 1891, and because of this unexpected delay the cost of these bridges was s curried over into tbe fiscal year, 181)1-1)2 while s i ? ?.. k... i...... ? lwoA_AI 'J'lv n.mlv ran. C mi'}' properly iiciuuk k? ...t....... . ?.. . son they are notehareed lo 1S90-91 is because or the accident that they were not completed J on time." J; The point I wish to impress is. that Mr. Dn- ' Pre Informed the chairman that these bridges r would he built, and that some provision J should be made to met the expense. No pro- J" vision was made. Tue bridges were built, u and the cost of same rightfully belongs to the fiscal year, 18110-91. c This accounts for the difference between f the "figures" and the levy." There is no reference in the figures to this amount, but Mr. DuPre says It was Included in the 4 mill 1 levy. The chairman was so informed, and I " still say th-y should have put the levy us de- s nmnded?viz: 4 mills. if.'{ mills were sufficient why did the Coun- s ty Com in issloneis demanded 4 mills? If the estimates in figures were all right 9 and included everything, why "correspond" r will) Mr. Dul're at all ? . There was something besides the "(inures" 1 that requi red a correspondence, and thai 1 something was the provision tor the two bridges above referred to, which was not 8 made. * What. Is the virtual deficiency belonging to J l S'.HWIl ? H 1. Present estimate $1,512 00 u 2. Searl's mill bridge 2,1.'15 00 ?. lioyd's 2.K75 00 f ujSi oo " 4. And in my opinion we can add . the over-charge against the rail- : roads now In litigation, and 11 which In my Judgment thsState ...in ??i inn no * Will lii;> CI ivtuvci ? H 87.U52 00 Besides?they have no right to credit, themselves with till* Hul I road excess of SI,400 as an asseted In December, lSOu, when theussessriicut was not raised until May. 1S1U. So as far as this controversy Is concerned this amount belongs In ttie deficiency column. Thus, Instead of a iMletency of 31,542, we have certainly one of Sti,552, and I believe one of S7.5?&2.

It is Dad enough as it is and but for their good luck it would have been unendurable. As the delegation were elected on the Tillman platform, viz ; "reform and lower taxes" it was a ureal temptation to make the levy less than their predecessors, and as deficiencies sprang up at. the same time in so many counties, I felt I was justitied in reaching my conclusion. But., -Mr. Editor, I wish to say that. I have not the least desire to misrepresent anybody, and as the delegation say it was a "mistake" I do not Impugn their motives. It was certainly, however, a "huge" mislake. These facts remain and can neither be rubbed out nor buried beneath "big figures." I. County Commissioners asked for 4 mills. l'. That-t mills were absolutely necessary. Delegation allowed only :t mills. The delegation thought they knew better than .Mr. lml'reand the result Is, the county Is bu<lly in debt. Respectfully, \V. C.

C., April 18. 1892. | Prof. Jferndon, of Yorkvllle, will take barge of the Greenwood Graded School in a liort while. Mr. It. It. Tolhert, general store keeper for 011th Carolina now has headquarters. Willi :ed we differ in polities, but there is much bout him to he admired and slnee"tot.he ictors belong the spoils" are glad no iins a iterative position. I said last week there would not. be a monrer In our jovial Tillman friend, J B. Sample as made arrangements to go with delegate linmons. Unless there is a wonderful conraction in his facial muscles, from their reixod appearance on the evening of the club teeting, he can readily be "spotted" as the >ne mourner, to whom Mr. McCalla can nlnlster political ciosolatlon. We are Indebted to Hon. Gpo. Johnstone for copy of Congressman McMillan's speech on free wool." It Is all very nice, and would be boon for the poor man. but most of us are nore interested about "free lunch" something nore substantial than pretzel and picked at hat. The poor man may treat lighlly the quesion of refunding or paying our State debt belevlng that If It has to be paid or refunded at n excessive rate Ills landlord or employer rill have it to pay, and so they will, but be ssured it will come indirectly out of us whether we are renters, croppers, laborers or rtisans. To see this it is not necessary to nnlerstand the whole monetary system. Likepise an Increase of the poll tax (all the poor nan pays) to three dollars, as proposed by 'illman seems like a small thing, but it nan's tax two hundred per cent, while that if hlH agrarian landlord remains at about ixty per cent. The equalization of taxation 3 beautiful in theory, hut If applied to the took and farm lands, as It Is to labor and corlorations, Tillman would be Impeached even t elected. Mr.T. H.Walker has put In a handsome inique and most modern soda fount. The G.. C. & N. put on sale tickets to Atlana Monday. They will probably carry the argest delegation to the Southern Baptist Jonvenlion in May. Mr. W. H. Mays, differs from some of our 'lllman friends, he takes :io stock In third lartylsm, is a slinon pure democrat, and, pith every other thinking man, s^inds square n the platform of the Farmer's moyemeut, iur. he has not yet made up his mind, whethr he will support Tillman or Sheppard as the heexponent of Its principles. He went to Jreenville to hear both sides discussed Satirday. Later he didn't go, but ba-i about nade up his uilnd from what he has heard of he meeting. In view of the. peculiar names recently erislvely applied to the antl'8. the muzzling irocess may be put in vogue, as tlis season of i.vdrlphobla and primary elections draws oo pace. Mr. T. H. Walker has the finest stock ofcanled goods aud confections ever displayed in ?reenwood. Gov.

The conservative ticket Is called the ring ind It Is said there are politicians on both lefcets, then If we are to choose between pollIclans, in the name of reason let us. as labor ng men select the ones likely to do us the east harm, to say nothing of the benefits.
