CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN, ltcli<*ve \<> Evil ?Think \o Evil?1The | ( oiiulrj is Kill'**. No Mailer Who in Elpcti'il. This Is I lie last issue of our paper before I lie the kIh'IIod. We don't know that we have any good advice to give, but we would venture the suguesion, hat you believe no new report against anybody. Kvil reports are sometimes circulated just I before elections with a view to influencing voter some way or another, and when Ihe in- ( jured party has no proper opportunity to de- . tend himself or to correct the errror. It would, therefore, be well to charge an , evil design on the circulation of an evil re- . port rather than to accept as true, anything against any candidate. , Vole as you had intended, without reference to i he electioneering friend of any candidate, who would help his friend by injuring , another. As a rule, the candidates are good men? . and none of them are hall as bud us their en- j Tb<> Two I'acc*. I kn .w :i little lei low Whose face is Inir In see.

We Should lMnce (Miraelves on Kecor?t mm in Favor ol' Sobriety ami Opposed to llruiikeiiness. The people of Abbeville have never raised a voice against pionibillou when the prohibition referred ?o liie country districts, or sought to vet an embargo on the traffic in Green wood, McCoimick. JLowndesviile, Donald?, l>ue West, or HoUges, but when It is proposed to apply the sauie rule to Abbeville we are told tliat it Is nobody's business if .ve do make our own citizens drunk and it' we do debauch the husbands, sour and brothers of those of our countrymen who come to town. The license system as now practiced does not bear evenly on all parts of the county. Ex eept ul Abbeville, no place nuiy get license. i Tliat license fur tile town Is S500, and thai li-| cense is alio\v?d by law to be diverted irom its rightful iuar>e, the county treasury. The people of Abbeville county have no right to appropriate SJOOoi what is Justly tbeir own money to the corruption of our people on the question of prohibition. We have 110 just or equitable right to theS-'HW license lor each bar. 11. should go into the treasury of the county ? If it goes uny where. . We are opposed to the licensing of bars, because we wouid shut up those places which lead our young men into intemperate habit*. Lei no man who has the tiood of this people at heart, say that prohibition Is not condusive to tempi ranee and does not tend to bring all the blessings that toliow in the wake 01 sobriety. The facts prove that there was only a fiaction of the whiskey shipped here the tirst six months of our experience with prohibition. At Abbeville tlie people sought, and did accomplish, thede.'eat ot the prohibitionIsis,and contrary to the expressed will of the people of Abbeville county, legislators set their act at naught, and not only authorized the opening of the bars, but, without a proper reguid for the equities Involved, allowed the town to gobble up the license fees, which should, to say the very least, have been divided. if any 01 you say that we had ns much drunkenness under prohibitum?and you are umind to believe It?we asK you to vote to close the lnviling places which lure our i.esi young men into I he ways that are alike destructive to body and soul, and which give to . the family of tiie victim a taste 01 tne torments which are more cruel than the pains ol those who have gone to perdition. If you f?el like drawing the skirls of your garment ebout you and saying that the bar rooms would not hurt you, we beg you to consider the danger to which your vote against prohibition would subject our young men. While country people feel that their own sons are sale, we leel safe in saying tlmt they may deceive themselves. If the reader remembers, we said Inst week that, not a single arrest had been made during Tuesday, the day of the big meeting. Out ol two thousand men present. It was not necessary to arrest a single man. so i?r very good. We spoke the truth, in s ?lar as ihe day was concerned, but when the nigat had vehed the town In darkness, there was boisterous talk on one of the principle strteis of the town. Language of an ugly kind was indulged in. Famine* in the neighborhood were loieed to hear language not lit to be spoken in the presence of pure women and innocent little children. i'iually the town marshal appeared on the scene, and took one of the boys away; tbeothers gave evidence of a disposition to resist the arrest of their coiniade, and followed. Wheu nearing the guard house I hey seemed to be sulMcienily sobered to realize the danger of doing what they'had threatened. They quit the scene. Their companion was locked up,and when the marshal was lree to look af ler HIS \rwillfi?j|jiunr> uir^ ncic fclilll-?tiiunKKY* ing themselves the inconvenience of imprisonment. No doubt you v.-i! 1 say that these boys, lived in town. No; a nil of it. They were all boys from the country, and wo have no doubt thKt their mothers think they are exemplary Sunday school scholars in tin whose lips never proceeded ugly word-*?into whose mouths no liquor wasever taken. These boys not having yet readied manhood's estate, and tome of thein had Just, cnicivd their teens. They perhaps think that town people know nothing of ttieir doings, and it may he that all of them do not, but tne fact remains that they and their act are known at least to the police, who have no seal upon their Hps. I^t us recite another instance: Last Friday the Confederate soldiers had a re-union. One ot their number Irorsi the country imbibed too ireely, and became it disturbing lactor; as a con>equenoe. he was taken out ot the meetiut: and locked u|-?being the only arrest that day, as lnr as we have heard. Now. would you vote to open a place, and give the license to the town, which would tempt nice young men to drunkenness and which would furnish the means of putting an old Confederate soldier in such a tix that he must be taken from the presence of his comrades and locked up. Jf liquor is un evil at your own door and Is n nuisance at the cross fails, or in your own Mttle town. What sanctifies it at Abbeville? What good comes ot lb ensijur the bars? Chi> the bars claim to he conducive 10sobriety, ii so, why not have them everywhereV If we exclude them from Due West because of the presence of the college, why not exclude them from Abbeville because of our own school? Are not our own school unci our own children as sacred to lis as are the college ami the children of Due West to the people of that place? Cast your vote for the best interests of morality and sobriety. .Array yourself on the aide of the preachers,and lend your Influence in support ot the movement .which has their prayers and in win. h the happiness and welfare of our women Is invol>eU. Itemember, that on moral questions, your wife and your mother are always right. Nine-tenths ot the peop'eof Abbeville county have already had whiskey removed from their doors. Will not the nine-tenths hftlp the small minority to remove the evil from their doors? Somebody has to furnish boys out of which to make drunkards. Are you willing to furnish a son, or a brother for such purpose? If somebody didn't furnish new recruits for the drunken brigade. their rank* would soon be reduced and finally broken up.

While it is Important to vote for the best men, ami while It is the duty of every free- 1 horn citizen to cast his.vote lor the inen ol his own choice, and not for those for whom he i may he told to vote, let no citizen become excited and persuade himself that the bottom . will drop out of this country if his favorite, ^ or favorites, are Dot elected. We haven't a tnau In the race, nor could all , of them combined seriously effect the good name of ttiis stale, or imtierhilly Injure the ' prosperity ol the citizen, ! They don't possess so great a power. . The rains will not be effected, the produe- , t! veness of the soil will be much Ihe same as , heretofore, and so the farmer will not bo ruin- : ed or enriched, whichever side wins. The merchant will not change the selling " price of his goods, and the banks will continue to charge interest on their money. Debts will have to be paid at the old stand, ' and in the old way. The railroads will continue to carry pa&sengers and freight. The status of the greatest question that agitates the minds of the American people to- 8 dav will not be interrupled?we refer to the f. ,M<Ki(..<iii<wi ,if the Press and Banner. This paper will go on as usual, and no fears need be eutertamed for Its safety as long as these people remain In Abbeville County. As ibis ^ storm and excitement caused Its editor to make greater exertions, which greater exer- ,, lions have brought great success, so it may be g. with you, if your favorite candidate Is defeated, you may be inspired with tho determine- * tion to make greaterexertiwns, and if so, apparent defi-at will, in reality, bring greater success to you. When the boycot against the Pressand Banner was declared, three years ago. It required only 58 quires to make up our malls. To-day it requires < > quires with a closer trimmed list, on which are fewer dead beats. ti Our advertising business Is better, and our 11 job printing has greatly Increased. si We mention these latter facts In no spirit of boasting, but to show that, no matter what r< opposition or misfortune may belall the cit.i- g zen, he can still succeed in this country, if he ti has the will to do so, and will energetically apply the practical methods. ti So." whether sheppard or Tillman Is elected a the Press and Manner expects to do business at the old stand. While we will vote for the tl mux of our choice we have no Idea of drowning oursi-lf.or of even tearing our hair. The p re?ult will not in any disturb our equllllbrl- p urn. V Vote as you please, that Is a duty of the American citizen, but the greatest of all du- 8 tie* Is to provide for your owu household, and you an best do this by making closer a application to your owu business, no matter what it is. Politics is only an incident in S life. Preference between candidates Is an ideality, but tin* making of a good supply of H meal and bread is a reality. II SCHOOL BONDS AND BANK STOCK. ?' ? ? Ci ISofli arc Kncorly Sought by Tliose 0 Who Have (lie Money Limited ? Amount ol' Heiuly Cash {) Despite the scarcity of money, mere is ft ue- f maim for the School Ronds and Dunk stock. While no ouu hereabout has a large amount a of ready cash, yet there nre u number who have small amounts to invest. The school l< bonds being non-taxable for state, County and Municipal purposes, and the fact that they are 81 to run for thirty years, makes them a desir- il able investment at seven per cent, payable semi annually on tl.e first of March and the first ot September. While the banks have been ready and willing to take the whole issue, we think the finance committee have acted well in giving individual citizens an opportunity to make a desirable Investment. 1 At. present no bonds are offered, but alter the first ot September the portion?one-half?remaining unsold, will tic put upon the market, and will be readily taken. These bonds and the stock of the Farmer's Hank have taken up much of the Idle capital which was leudy for investment. Owing to a the peculiar circumstances attending thees- 11 tabllshtnent of that bank,a great amount of a that stock is now put upon the market,and at a slight discount cash buyers has been found a for much ot It. a The stock was originally subscribed by fnrm- 1 ers and others, more with the patriotic desire J1 of establishing a new bank for their own ac- 11 commodation than with a view to making a 8 profit out of their investment. The stock was largely taken by persons who subscribed for ] single shares, aud In many Instances they bud fj not the spare money to invest. ' Under the roles of the Bank, any stockholder could boirow SStl on his Sioo share. In a very large majority of cases, those who bought 1 one, two or three shares, have deposited their hock ?mu oi.'rroivi'u eituij jjci ixuu ui iuc pa rvalue. 1 When the shareholder finds that he pays SS discount on SSO, and realizes the fact that he 1 actually borrows only S72. for which he pays | S\ lie learns that owning six per cent bank * vtock on borrowed capital Is not a profitable 1 investment. The fact that so many shareholders are in ' the same condition and the fact that they own J the stock at such Kree.t actual lo>s to them- ' melvsk causes many shares to bo thrown on the market. The chances of other investment and the limited amount of ready cast) to in- * vest in six or seven per cent, securities has de- 1 pressed the price of the stock below par, and ? sellers find it very difficult to find a buyer 1 even at 895 per share. 1 The stock is deemed desirable by those who have the ready cash to Invest, but the amount ' ottered more than equals the ready cash, hence 1 the depression In price.

I'lie Three Dollar Poll T?* and llie Disfranchisement of (lie IiiciIiicnled. I.owndesville, S. August '2(1, IS02. In 1S1MI 1 was a supporter of IS. U. Tillman, :iml relied upon 11is promises to the people lor relorrn in our government. At the beginning ol' this campaign I was In favor ol his re-eleetion, hut when the issues began to be discussed I saw that he had Tailed to fulfill his promises, and moreover he was advocating in his speech a S3 poll tax and a (|Ualllic ition vote. I attended the Conservative meetingat Abbeville, and alter hearing the speeches I made up my mind to east my vote for Sheppard and Orr. I want 110 man for Governor who ad vocates a three dollor poll tax, and wants to disfranchise the poor white man in order to disfranchise the negro. Why, the morning after the Conservative meeting at. Abbeville I met a man who lives In the country, but. who clerks in town, and he asked me what business I had at that Conservative meeting ? Whilst I considered him to be a good friend ol mine, lie has treated me scarcely with respect since I lelt the Tillman ranks. Again, I have been denounced by a prominent church member as a fool and as playing the Judas Iscariat act. Social ostrocism has been practiced upon me by the very people who claim to be trying to rescue t he government, from aristocratic rule. I.et me ask the thinking people ol this community and of this county it this can be called a free country, when a while man cannot cast li is ballot tori lie man ol his choice, without being slandered from one side of the county io the other, as I and others have been who live in this community.

BEQUESTS TO PUBLISH. * U'liy Xot Offer to Pay tlie Kxpense of Type Setting ? We are In receipt of a long political doeuumont iroin a gentleman In another county, with a request to publish the same, hut never a word did he say about fooling the bill for type setting. We would be perfectly willing to publish much matter, if it were not for the expense of type setting, and the document to which we refer Is one of them. As It Is, we have a grent quantity of local matter, which we Icel Inclined to publish, at our own expense,and are willing to foot the bill of type setting, but our-, is a county paper, and whun persons desire to publish matter (or their own gratification, they ought not to ask us to foot the bill. The man whoso name appears at the head ol the paper edits It, and pays the bills for whatever he desires to have set up, and he thinks that others from another county, who choose to ask us to print mutter for their own gratitt- | cation, should do as the editor does, bear the ; expense of selling the type. . We would like to disauuse the public mind of the idea that we can print matter without | the expense of type setting. There are many , things which wo would be glad to publish, it it were not for the expense. As long as we print the Christian Neighbor j we can "fill up the paper" without any cost . whatever, so that the idea of furnishing some- { thing with which to "till up" is a mistake. , We already have type enough with which to ' till up." We set type only when we wunt to c print something. * f Persons, therefore, who labor under a delu- ^ sion, may now see that the publication of our newspaper at least, Is brought about by labor ( and the necefsary obligation to pay for that labor. We are always glad to accommodate | our friends, however, and it they will pay the g necessary cost of the displacement of the l type from the Christian Neighbor, we will gladly publish much that we arc now obliged f, to decline solely because of the expense. f The case referred to is not an Isolated one. jThere Is scarcely a week that we do not re- | cei ve a request to publish something for somehodv. hilt, wp do not revolted of nnv inKt.imm> ?. whore anybody has offered to pay the expense uf type selling. a Notable among the liberal requests was that ? Df the Prohibition Executive Committee. <j l'hcy asked lor a column every week. A rosiest like that on a paper like ours is pretty |] steep, when the facts and circumstances are ^ staled, for weeks we have not found room in our paper lor great quantities of matter. a Sometimes we have had perhaps as much as r ri page of original matter which bad to bo left river because of lack of room. Some of the t matter of paid correspondents have been of- ^ Len excluded because of lack of space. j, To set a column of matter costs us about one dollar. Then to ask us to set one column if prohibition matter, made up chiefly of ex tracts from other papers. Is equivalent to as- q sessing us one dollar a week during the cam- j, paign including the Implied request to exclude home matter to gel In temperance mat- r Ler?which, by the way, has sometimes been cut out of the patent side of our own paper. e This newspaper inny be unalterably set g dow n as opposed to the licensing of the sale r>f whiskey, but we want to work for the pro- j hlbition cause in our own way. and we think we have time ami again shown most clearly ^ that the license system is a most iniquitous $ one in more ways than one. !( m ?

Lady Somerset gives tne ioiiowing touching account and how she became a total aostainer: "I see before me a happy home with all that wealth and luxury and rank can give. I see two happy children come down to their dinner time after tiiije, and I see the happy father and mother laugh to see these children drink the wine set before them. At last it became known that something is wrong. I see the hoy on his way to college, and by and by* I see him a sad and hopeless drunkard. I saw him at twenty-three, all the beauty gone from hisonce fair face, and at twenty-four I saw him laid in a drunkard's grave. The girl grew to the sweetest womanhood I ever saw, and had everything this world could give ner ; uy anu oy i saw a nttie cioua no bigger than a man's hand shadow that young life. I {prayed with her. I wept with her. I implored her by all she held sacred. Her reply was that, [if I became a total abstainershe would ; [ had never thought of that before. I hesitated. 1 said : 'Let me think this over.' I thought about it; when I saw her again 1 told her I would do it to save her. She said : 4 You are too late ; I cannot giye it up.' That home is broken up. The children know something is wrong with the mother, the husband is heartbroken. If I had not hesitated T might have saved that woman. With this experience, when God gave me true light on this question, I told him I would go out and plead with men and women and do battle with this gigantic evil."
