The Press and Banne ABBEVILLE. S. C. ^sfirPublished every Wednesday at a vear in advance. Mr. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Chariest? Is Dot authorized to take advertisements f this newspaper. Wednesday, Oct. 4, 1893. Tbe School Book Qnentlon. Superintendent of Education Mayfleld b been In a fisticuff witb one of tbe school boc publishers, and volumes have since be< printed in the newspapers to establish tl correctness of the Superintendent's oflici action in voting as he did for or against ce tain books. As a result of the action of Mr. May tie and the remainder of the board the parents children in all parts of tbe State are doing little talking on their behalf. Tbe constant change in the school books a source of trouble to the people, and the hif price at which the books are sold gives st! further cause of complaint. While the Press and Banner would not a tempt to solve the perplexing question, y we believe It will never be settled as long i particular publishers are awarded the so privilege of furnishing the books. We take It that every school book publlshi has sent his books free to every School Con mlssloner in the State, and that every pu lisber has spent more or less money In sen< lng agents to Columbia to present the claims. All thisco8ts money, which must be refun< f ed by somebody. It is hardly to be presume that the Northern publishers are sufficient! philanthropic to Induce them to incur all th expense without hope of having it refundei If, then, it is to be refunded the school chl dren must bear the expense at last by the ii creased cost of their books. There is no good reason, with which weai acquainted, which would Justify the exorb tant prices which are charged for books, e: oept in the fact that particular publisbei have the exclusive right to print the books. It the 8tate of South Carolina would go Ii to the markets, it seems to us that the boot could be bad about as cheaply as other boot are sold. Will Force be JTecewary ? We see by the newspapers that Governc Tillman has expressed his determination i ask the Legislature, for authority to appoli metropolitan police In the larger cltleB of tb State. The necessity for this course, he a leges Is because of his dissatisfaction with tb police of those cities in reference to the ei forcementof the dispensary law. The Press and Banner hopes that Governc Tillman may not use more force than Is a tually necessary to command obedience t lawful authority, but be should exhaust e< ery power that may be necessary to en fore the law. The Tlolators of the dispensary law, wb sell whiskey contrary to law, should t taught the necessity of observing to the la which they are breaking, and the law-tbidin citizens of those cities should express thel condemnation of lawlessness. The dispensary law has come to stay, an It will be useless to force the Governor to r< sort to force. But force or no force, those who openly si aay law ot this State at deflanc will sooner or later feel the force of the law The country people have cheerfully yleidc ooeaience io me law ana recaicuraui city i quor dealers should be required to obey It. Wonders Never Cent*?. Last week the Newberry Observer came 01 on a patent bide. After fighting the pater side for years that excellent paper has bee convinced of the wisdom of the plan, and he adopted the better system. Of course the act of the Observer n ear that the Herald and News must also sooner c later make the same advanced step. Where the ability and the conditions are f all equal no home print paper can long bol out against the progressive neighbor wh takes advantage of the Improvements In h own profession. A GOOD WOMAN GONE. Her Kindneft* of Heart and He Chrlfttian Example a Great X.onn. Mrs. Frances Graham Hughes, wife of M H. H. Hughes, died at her home In Huck Le el,Sept. 11th, 1893, after an lllnet-sof about te days. She was born Dear Cokesbury. No' 30th, 18*0, and Joined the old Providence Bai tlst church at the age of sixteen. She live ( Buck Level the last ten years of berilf where her husband and seven children su vlve her.

May the a Aided household be sustained by Him, wh has said, "What I do thou knowest not no\ but shall know hereafter." R. P. B. Greenwood, 8. C., Sept. 80th, 1S38. ? TELEGRAPH OFFICE. The Western I'nion Putting l'|> Wirf Along the ti? C. <1- X. The Western Union Telegraph Company ai now putting up wires along the line of tt G., C. & N. railway, and this fact suggests tt opening of a telegraph office on the Publ Square. We presume if the citizens shoul unite In a request for the company to do s that they would open an office in the businei part of town. Speaking for the Press and Banner we ai not decided as to whether the up-town offii would be more desirable than the offices i the railroad depots. The business of the G C. & N. requires the Railroad Company I keep an operator in the office all hours of tt day and night, and we presume despatch! could be sent from that depot at any hour i the night. If we are correct in this suppof tlon, and If it be true that the uptown offii would be closed, we have no hesitation in sa ing that we prefer an office that is kept ope all the time, even if it be a little further r moved from the public square. GOOD COTTON PICKING. The Champion Pickers in the Cotto Belt. Mr. Will Cole and Mr. Rushton of Brl? wood bad a cotton picking content last Fi day. The former picked 308 pounds, and tl latter picked 800 pounds?together they pic ed 603 pounds?which, as far as the Press an Banner knows, beats all former records. T1 cotton was picked on the land of Mr. Park Atkins. ? 9-^ ? A New Kind or Sunday School. The Idea of the Industrial Sunday 6cbool not a new one, but very Interesting expei nients are now being with It, especially in & Louis, where a Sunday school for technlci education has Just been opened under the s pervlsion of Prof. C. M. Woodward, the hes or the Manual Training school of Wa6blngtc University. The school is founded by the "self oultui club," an organization of workers, many i them wage workers In the trades. It 1st markable In this and it la not less remark ble because of its incidental connection wit Washington University, which, as it repr gent* the New England influence In Mlssour might be supposed to be In some sympatb with Sabbatarianism. A? It spreads to other cities there may I protests Irom the narrow-minded, but tl vounsr men and women who spend Sunday a ternoon trying to increase their usefulness t studying algebra drawing and English liter ture are doing Ood service.?New York Worl Thymol Dentifrice is nice for cleaning ti teeth and heathful to the mouth and gum 26 and 50 eta.
