The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S. C. i .?^-Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. j Wednesday, May 3,1893. . i The Lynching?Columbia** Indiana- j tlon. Citizens of Columbia held an indignation meeting one night last week to express dls- 1 approval of Governor Tillman's act In allow- { log John Peterson to be taken back' to Barn- ( well, where undercharge of assault on a lit- J tie white girl, he was lynched. There was , 1 - .V ?< ? II? 1,0,1 , UUUUL HO lu LUC KU1IV V71 iuc nuviuacu. v not been satisfactorily indentifled. The meeting in Columbia was, we presume, attended chiefly, if not solely, by anti-Till. ( man men, and the speeches and resolutions I were denunciatory ot Governor Tillman's act ] in allowing Peterson to be taken back to Denmark, where he fell into tbe bands of the lynchers. In defence of his course the Governor made | certain statements to the newspapers, which ; seem to satisfy him and those oi his followers whoendose everything that he does, and the KeglBter and perhaps other of Tillman's supporters charge that the "Indignation" was for the purpose of manufacturing political capital. The Press and Banner would approve or condemn the official acts J tbe uoveruor? Judging them solely upon their merits or demerits. i We think the Governor erred in surrendering John Peterson to the mob. it is the common instinct of every man to protect those 1 who look to us lor protection, and no method of reasoning or force of any facts now known to us, can (square bis action with the right. But he says that be Is sati*fied at his course^ and seems willing to u&suine all responsibility. But as to the "indignation" meeting. We think It was a political mistake. Judging from the names ol the speakers who addressed the meeting, we presume "indignation" at Governor Tillman's every act, aud even at his official person is their normal condition. A majority of these same men, we presume, have heretofore denounced Governor Tillman In season and out of season, and we take it that It is time for their indignation to be fatigued. While custom tolerates the arraignment o candidates for public favor, and while it is proper that every man should give an account of his stewardship, yet Mr. Tillman's record as Governor has not been completed. 8 Let us wait. s Next year we can have an accounting with him. The present arraignment of Governor Till man falls on listless and inattentive ears, and injures only those of us who are making * figures of ourselves in giving expression oi I dislike for one whose greatest fault may" lie L in the fact that he occupies the office for 1 which we think he Is not worthy and which t place we would prefer to put in the keeping J of some favorite. e The trouble with those who are blind with s madness lies in the fact that they regard Till- ? man as responsible for the revolution. The t, truth is, that If Tillman was today drowned in the sea, another leader would be chosen and this revolution would go on. It Is tbe people?and not Tillman?who are doing this great thing, and tbe sooner we recognize the real condition tbe better for us all. What Is the Matter T For quite a while, unless our memory Is defective, the Tillman newspapers, almost without exception, have made slurs at "antl" newspapers as a whole, without specifying or naming a single newspaper or a single instance, to which reference was had. From extracts and editorials in the religious presB, it seems to us that among the church papers the same unkindly spirit exists towards all the secular press. Following in this nartienlar instance, the 8 examples set by our Tillman accusers and n our religious maligners, the Press and Banner c would be Impersonal, and suggest that the re- ? Itglous press, like the Tillman newspapers? j seem to arrogate to themselves an excessive e amount of righteousness and then proceed to jjj show wherein the whole secular press is detltlclent In those excellent qualities with which they themselves presumably claim to be so pre-eminently endowed. ^ iritis a sin to think evil of oue's neigh- a bors, and if the utterances ol ungenerous n words against less pretentious brethren who v may be, in their humble way, working accord- i ing to the lights before them is wrong we fall a to see wherein either the Tillman papers or ^ the religious press find any Just reason to a claim for themselves that they are any better " than those who come In so often lor vile In- * slnnation against character and honesty of purpose. * Is It because of the Inferiority of the Till, man papers, or Is It because of Jealousy on the part of the religious press, that this condition ? Ui bulUgO CA JOIB ? The secular press of course Is a proper subject of criticism, and the "antl" papers must ^ be held to a strlqt accountability. e But, If you please, gentlemen, don't make ti sweeping charges atd Insinuations against * character and honesty of purpose. t Name your cause of complaint, and lay the a blame at the door of him who offends, and 0 don't make charges, which are not true, tl against the whole, because of the errors of an Individual. This covert way of fighting is not fair. M The Barnwell Lynching. We saw Mr. J. W. Wells of Greenwood on p our square last Monday. He was In Barn- s> well at the time of the lynching of John Peterson. Mr. Wells is convinced that Peter a erson was gul'ty of the assault on the young it lady, and does not disapprove of the lynch- ? lng. He thinks people of Barnwell?Tillmau g and antl-TiIIman?endorse the lynching, and si have no particular grounds of complaint against the Governor in surrendering Peter- p son. n Speaking for himself, Mr. Wells thinks Governor Tillman ought not to be consured Cl for keeping one promise, namely : To bead a lvnchlne party aealnst any man who had as- ? saulted a woman. He is no great admirer of ^ Governor Tillman, but be thinks be ought to p have due and proper credit when he keeps ry his promise?this being about the only promise that be has kept to the letter. ? - ?? Mm*? More Reading Hatter. We hope to make arrangements at an early date, whereby tbe Press and Banner will increase its pages from eight to ten or twelve T pages. We hope to be able to supply any v reasonable demand of the reading puollc. and P the permanent enlargement may be expected within a few weeks from now. U ? . r 1) SALE DAY. J * c A Good Attendauce? Pleaaant Occa- f< Hlou?Little BnNlneHM. Last Monday was Sale Day. While there a was nothing of special interest to draw the P people to town,yet the dry weather had made it a leisure time on the (arms and a large f< number of representatives came irom every C section. }< The day was a pleasant one, and nothing oc- > curred to mar the existing harmony and good P feeling among our people. a There was a limited trade, and early in the ci afternoon nearly everybody went home. n The only public official sale was that of tbe tl Greenwood compress by the Master. p You want to see Aug.

Many years ago General Bradley, Preslden 3f the A. <fc K. Road, it Is generally conceded proposed to build that road by Abbeville, I the citizens In the town would contribute $10, X)0. The acceptance of this proposltior would have necessitated a change of routi [roni McCormick to Laurens, going by Abbe irille and Cokesbury. This proposition re jeived no adequate response. OUK SECOND MISTAKE. a fnm n'onra lninr iho oiiv nf A nilerson sen' ielegates to confer with us, in the lnteresto tbe savannah Valley Railroad. We made n< substantial response, and that road went uj the Savannah Valley, Instead of coming bj Abbeville. DIVISION OK SENTIMENT. The next proposition was to build the Cum berland Gap Ruilroad from Aiken througt Edgefield. Abbeville, and on to a point, final ly connecting with Chicago. Public spirliet ind patriotic citizens gave for this purpose largely of their private means, and a longdls ^ance of the road was graded with the monej so contributed. When this money, some 89. XX> or 510,000 was exhausted, a proposition wai hen made to issue bonds to the extent o >onie ?30,000. In tills question all of our peo ?le became greatly interested either for oi igainst the proposition to bond the town ir Ud ol the road. An election was held ?nd the bonds were voted, but were nev ;r issued. Because of the immensity of th< mdertaklng the enterprise finally fel ,b rough, THE PEOPLE UNITE?SUCCESS CROWNS THEII EFFORT. The agitation, however, resulted in greai ;ood to the town. It awakened tbe public nlnd, and tbe desire for a new railroad wai elt bv every one. Those who refused to glv< ;belr consent or acquiescence to the Issue o jonds were just as anxious for a railroad, at ,he other party. With the feasibility of building the road which is part of the road now known as tlx Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway, oui jeople were more nearly united, and tbost ivho were more enthusiastic were not op aosed by any, though soipe were a little luke ivarm, because of their lack of faith In th< Inal success of tbe enterprise. Prominent among the agitators of the new -oad at Abbeville were George C. Hodges fames T. Parks, T. C. Seal, L. W. Perrin. W i. Parker, Judge J. F. Lyon, W. C. Benet, and (there. Finally, a charter was granted by the Leglsature ol tbe State, authorizing the railroad lompany to organize as soon as 820,000 wa* iubscrlbed to tbe capital stock. In compliance with the requirements ol hat Act the citizens of Abbeville subscribed o the following paper, the amounts set oppo ite to their names: IUBSCRIPTION LIST TO THE STOCK OF THK CHESTER, GREENWOOD AND ABBEVILLE RAILROAD. We the undersigned hereby agree to subcrlbe the following sums to the capital stock if the Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville tailroad, on condition that the said road is fttally located for construction through the own of Abbeville, County of Abbeville. Also, on the further condition, that If subscrlp Ion is made by the town of Abbeville or Ab>oviiio inmnnhiD.

With the understanding being that tbe subcribers would nol be called upon to pay these ubscrlptlons, the company was organized, >ut had no money with which to pay for the ontemplated survey. Railroad companies ould be organized on wind, but actual and iractical surveys required spot cash ; so out ieople were called upon to pay in cash, whatver amounts they might feel disposed to ;ive. Some two thousaud dollars were given or the survey. THE SHOPS?BONDS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS. When tbe road had been finished to Atlaua, the railroad folk began to cast about for a ocatlon for tbe repair shops. There was not . town along the entire route which would lot have been glad to have the shops located ril'uilj lucll ico)/gvbi?v wi {/v/iuvivubi Finally, terras were mude with Abbeville, 'his town was to give fifteen acres of land nd $15,000. Later, the company expressed he wish to have thirty acres. The amount ol n>nds, 817,000, was about 81,000 short of the mount neces^ury to comply with the srpplenental demand. A committee of gentlemen islted our people next day, and mude up the mount. JOTICE OK DEMAND *'0R ORIGINAL SUBSCRIPTION. Signers to the original subscription to the apital stock of the company received notices, f which the following Is a copy: Atlanta, Ua? March 28,1893. The Georgia, Carolina and Northern Kailmy Company having completed and equlp>ea their road from Monroe to Atlanta, and omplled with all the conditions upon which he amount subscribed in aid of its construclon was to be paid, you are earnestly reuented to remit on or before 1st May. 1893, to he undersigned the amount due by you on ccount of your subscription, to wit, the sum f 8 . It is hoped that you will give prompt attenlon to this call and arrange for an early setlement. A reply will oblige, Very truly, J. M. Sherwood, Treasurer. I'HEN THE AUTHORITIES UNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION, DEMAND WITHDRAWN. The making of the above demand, was, it is resumed, ordered by Mr. Robinson's succesnr, as president of the road, who was not ac uaintca wun me wcis. The company referred the matter to their ttorney, L. W. Perrln, Esq., who was farnilir with the history of the road from Its ineption, and who knew tfre condition upon rhich the subscriptions were asked and iven.when the demand lor the above suberiptlous were withdrawn. It affords the Press and Banner great pleasre to report the cordiality with which our oople have always treated this road, and this ewspaper is no less pleased to note that the ompany has always been friendly to the >wn as %vell as courteous and obliging to the Itlzen. In the last decade the G., C. <fc N. has done lore for Abbeville than all theother agencies omblned, and we have no doubt that the exiting perfect harmony and good feeling will revall to the end of time.
