7 The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. ^afirPublished every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Mr. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, 1b not authorized to take advertisements lor this newspaper. Wednesday, Aug. 23,1893. Letter from the Editor. Chicago, III., Aug. 19, 1803. Thinking the readers of the Press and Banner might like to receive a line from me, though 1 have nothing to write, I send a word. We arrived here, to-day, Saturday, about 3 o'clock In the evening. We found the wind rather cold. I think I will buy flannel shirts on Monday. Some overcoats were to be seen thia evening, though not many. I mm very maob worn out* I wan so tired that I lay down at dark, and rested and slept until eleven o'clock, when I got up to write this. Except myself, all of our party went out tonight to some entertainment We met with various delays on the road, as you may surmise rrom tbe men lion 01 me lime at which we reached the " Windy City." We are stopping at tbe Omaba, or at least about thirty of us are. Some are at No. 2010 Wabash Avenue, and some are at the "White House," same Avenue, on opposite side. General Hemphill. I believe, Is flopping at tbe White House. No. 2010 was unable to take , us all In, und it did not otherwise quite come up to the requirements. "The Omaha" seems all right. It Is a new hotel, Just In sight of tbe Ferris Wheel, and very near the Fair Grounds. I haven't been out of tbe bouse alnoe I came, but the ride through the city Impressed me with Chicago's beauty?Its nice booses and 1U beautiful grounds. It Is a city of magnlfloent distances. We rode on tbe cable cars after getting 08 tbe train. Tbe cable cars are not up to the electric cars la tbe way of speed, but tbey go ffcstenough. Tbe track is double and trains of three cars pass each way every three minutes?and many ol them are crowded -some ao foil tbat they refuse to stop tor others. We baven't yet ridden on tbeelevated street railway, which, I believe, goes by steam. The trip was a pleasant one. with nothing to mar tbe pleasure of any of our party. The delays were taken in good part, by our parly, some even expressing a feeling of pleasure at AnnAvtiinitv r\f uaoinv tha tnunii allwhlfh UV V* V ?W ? " we atopped. We stopped three hours at Ashe llle; at Knox vllle we stopped perhaps twelve boara?Oram mld-n Iglit to mid-day?Friday. The Pullman cur company sent us three ol tbelr finest sleepers. There are ninety-two In oar party. The weather Is fair, and everything is promising for a pleasant trip. I presume most of oar party will go to church to-morrow, and that all will do more or less at seeing the city, which aeeins to be a wonder and a marvel lu ltaelf. Respectfully, H.

We learn that Abbeville is to have another barber shop. A white gentleman from Allan la. xi is raid, "competition la tbe life or trade," and Jaat bere we would say, we thluk several lines of business in our town might be made to hustle by competition.

Abbeville'* City Government?Who Will be Mayor T The time for the election of our Town Council will soon be bere and as our town Is growing, being more thickly settled, It behooves our citizens to be thinking of the matter, for we know of nothing more advantageous to the welfare and Interests ol auy town than a good city government composed of good reliable, fearless men, who have the welfare and Interest of the people at heart and who feel themselves a lively Interest In the public welfare, and building up of the town, as well as the responsibility ol their office, and who are ready and willing to d^oharge their duties without tear or favor to any man. Our Chief Riley and night policeman Mr. McMillan are men who will do this. In speaking lor ourself and a large majority of ourcUizen? we knowot no man whom our people would delight to n >nor as Mayor, than ex-Mayor R. M. Hill, who has served ihis people launiuuy ui>u icaiicoi-ijr >? mo n?uw punt. During his administration the Interests of our town prospered. Uuruly offenders were speedily brought to teruia, and the exercise of the power conferred upon him by virtue of his office was boldly and fearlessly enforced hs noon as offenders were brought betore hint they were tried sentenced and put to work Immediately. We think with such a noun at the head of our municipal affairs to take hold of criminals under the new law, that crime of all kinds would grow lesB, and oflteuders lu?tead of being an expense to the people, would be made to contribute to the revenue of the town. During the administration of the present council under ex Mayor Hill the tines collected into the treasury amounts to about SG25, being 8500 lu excess of any of his predecessors. With these facts before us we would sugKPMt that our citizens appoint a corn in 11 tee to wait upon ex-M oor Hill and uigehim to accept the mayoralty of our town, and we further suggest that this office be made a salaried one, for the following reasons: 1st. Because it is a lhank<ess position in which a man not unfrequently incurs the displeasure of many, and wins the approval of the few. 2nd. If attended to as It should be it will require too much time, to the neglect of one's own business, to be given to the public without renumeratlon. 3rd. Because It will be a stimulus to any man to exert himself to do his who)t; duty, We venture the assertion without fear of contradiction that ir Mr. R, M. Hill will accept the position he can be unanimously elected to It, and will by Judicious management receive enough to puy himself and leave a handsome revenue for the town. Don't wait until the last moment as you will remember ihe trouble we have had In the past simply from neglecting our known duty. Citizen, Economy. The Prenhyterlau says of this necessary virtue: "Economy may be hard to practice I but for most persons It Is a necessity. It In | fool 1st) to live beyond one's Income, it is also sinful. We are defrauding others when we spend what we do not earn, or cannot pay liHck. Luxuries are desirable but they can be dispensed with, Kxiravngxnt living Isone of the crying sins of the duy. Americans generally, live too last, and run loo much In debt, Sooner or later, be who upeuds more money than he makes pays the penalty In broken fortune. In ruined reputation, in wrecked life, and In family disaster." On Monday night last at about 11 o'clock a mob of 40 or 60 men marched on Clinton and took Mr, George Shlllllo by force and carried j him away despite Mr. Shllllto's earnest aud , piilous pleading to allow him to speud blsj j few remaining years at home with hlsiamlly, I No prayerful appeal would be heard. They i snatched him up undressed and penniless | Innd carried him away under cover of ulglit, | It Is tlioi ght that they came from Abbeville, I Mr. Shllllto's former home, and that, they j had just learned ol his whereabouts. Every j one of them were armed with rifles, and their I captive has not been heard from up to ttie I hour of KOlng to press. He Is the father of j I our townsman Mr. I1 tank Sbllllto, Who stood on the tin-roof deck Driving nails by the peck, HIh dad stood by with breeches blue, And asked Frank Tor u tobacco chew. We hope they have reconsidered the awfulnessof crime and will allow their prisoner to j escape unharmed,?Clinton Gazette. m i The Tugaloo Iron Works cnn repair your engines, Kins. &c.
