V ^ I The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. #?~PubliBhed every Wednesday at ?2 a year in advance. Mr. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, Is not authorized to take advertisements for this newspaper. Wednesday, Jan. 10, 1894. Farmers Insurance. Yesterday was the day appointed for the annual meeting of the stockholders In the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company Of Abbeville County, but there was not a quorum present, and the meeting has been postponed until Sale Day In February. Mr. David Aiken 1b the moving spirit iu the organization, though his bands are held up by some of the best men in Abbeville County. Ha and Mr. \V. W. Klugh of Coronaca rode all the way to Abbeville yesterday through the rain to meet the Company, wbicb shows something of their earnestness and zeal in the matter. Mr. Alkeh informs us that the total cost for insurance last year was only about one dollar on the thousand, or about one-tenth of the cost in old time companies. Looking at it as we do it appears to be safe and cheap. It costs the Press Bed Banner 830 a thousand to insure its material. If the Press and Banner eould get into a good Com pany thnt would Insure for one-thirtieth of ?*-- ?- & irnnirf oonRlrfer onrself WUHb wu uun puj v ? fortunate. The Electric Light. The suggestion of Watler L. Miller, Esq., a short time ago In reference to electric lights for Abbeville has received considerable atteD. tlon, and the Press and Banner would be delighted to see the plant established. We don't know that we can urge any new arguments In its favor, but can remind our people of the necessity for such lights In a town like ours. The lights, however, cost money. We can't get them merely by saying let there be light, and there will be light. Another matter which we think is of equal, if not more Importance, Is water works of some kind. We ought to have a stand pipe and water mains. Our insurance is perhaps the highest In the State, ranging from one per cent, to five per cent. A reduction of one half ought to be reduced If we had water works. Sach an enterprise could be undertaken by ' (Ko Inirn Itself mleht priVUMJ lUUlTlUUOio v/i huv hvn? ?? ? Issue bonds in aid of It. ^ f The Dispensary Law. The Mayors of different towns may send In "spirited" replies to the Governor, refusing to require the police to enforce the whiskey law of the Btate, but it Is quite likely that the tax payers of the cities which are deuled auy of the revenue from the dispensary will get an Inning at the next election. The dispensary law has come to stay, and the kickers will find it out sooner or later. The dispensary is fa* from prohibition, but it is a vast improvement on the old license system. The Press and Banner favors prohibition, but as between the bars and the dispensary we will stand to the dispensary, though we * " " " " * * ** Uwnnrncn In A Khp. tried oara toaeieat tueuispcuoaij vllle. Tired. A lady from beyond the borders of the State writes that she Is tired of seeing so much lu the Press and Banner about Tillman and the dispensary. The Yorkvllle Yoeman says no paper was Issued from that office on Christmas week, . because the printers had been at hard work for four months. The Presr and Banner is not able to learn how a newspaper can aQord to suspend publication for a week In the busiest season of the year. In Abbeville we have more work to do about Christmas than at any other time, and the official advertisements require the legal umber of publications. The Job work is nwwintno. about Christmas. We would sooner close up during the month of July than to close Christmas week. SAYINGS?ACCUMULATIONS. The Importance of Watching Small Matters. Our people ought to learn to save a little ready casb. No matter bow small the Income,all young people and all others who are able to work and earrf a living, should have a bank account. The deposits In Abbeville banks are smaller than In almost any other town, which faot goes to show that we are not a provident people?that we are living up to our incomes. Let every mechanic, laborer, clerk or others who receive wages at stated intervals adopt the plan of saving something. If the small leaks are guarded, the big ones will take care of themselves. Try the plan of keeping a bank account. The officers in either bank will take pleasure in taking care of your money, and you will, after trying the experiment, be surprised at the Interest >ou Will totte Iu WIIUK auu luvicaoiu^ .IVU1 pi.v until tt Is large enough to seek a profitable investment. Those who may think their earnings, or savings are too small to be entered on ueposlt, at either bank, should try the savings department of the Farmers Bank, where tne small4e?t amount may be deposited. Our people need to learn the necessity of laying by something for a rainy day. A few dollars In bank will furnish a great Incentive for further savings. According to our way of thinking, the town bonds furnisb a safe investment ior small amounts. The bonds are for one hundred dollars each, and it seems that every citizeD k should strive to become the owner of one or more of them. A town bond for S100 bearing seven per cent, is far betler than wasting your earnings as you get them. Just try the experiment of laying by a little of tne money wblcb you now waste. Begin with the new year and have at least a nest egg by next Christmas. THE TOWN BONDS. Why Not Use Tbem iu Business Transactions Between Onr Own Citizens ? The shop bonds of the town of Abbeville have all been sold to citizens of the town, as were a majority of the school bonds. They are Of the denomination of one hundred dollars each. They are issued on a perfectly sound basis?the honor and integrity of this people?and where large amounts are Involved, why not use tbem as money In business transactions. The fact that they bear Interest should not make tbem less valuable than a hundred dollar bank bill, which bears o Interest. In buying or selling property they mlgbt be counted as cash, and the little difference for Interest or market value cocld be arranged between the parties. Speaking for the Press and Banner we see no particular uujcuuuu bv iuo uoc ui buc uuuud iu uub nojf, while ibe custom of doing so would have this advantage: If the owner bad no immediate use for the money, tbe coupon would be maturing. Last Fall our citizens, through some of the banks, had under consideration plans for tbe relief of tbe money stringency by Issuing ten thousand dollars of bills. Now, our citizens own perhaps 825,000 of these bonds ol 8100 each. It our people should then consent to use these bonds among themselves In settling debts or in buying property, tbe result might be advan?ageous to us all. Of course the whole 825,000 would not be in circulation all the time, but where individuals are willing to give and take them as money, such a course would benefit all. PROSPEROUS YOUNG MAN. The Good Fortune That PI nek and v Worth Rronirht lo Him. \Mr. S. Jenner Link of tbis village is one of Abbeville's prosperous and happy young men. By economy and attention to business \ he has accumulated enough money to build a \ nice bouse, and by bis sterling qualities, about two years ago, he won the heart and band of a pretty young wife. The happy youug couple <ye in their own home, and have set an ex*>ple worthy of Imitation. \ ? I ABBEVILLE DISPENSARY. B p Review or the Work for Six MonthsProfits in Exeess of the License System ? The Evils Kednceii ? Errors to be Corrected. Tbe sentiment of the following letter from the town council of Abbeville to Governor Tillman is based on reason and common CI sense, and the facts therein stated as to tbe condition of aflalrs in this town will beendorsed by our people. The sooner tbe town authorities of tbedlfferent municipalities of the State realize tbe at situation and acquiesce in the inevitable tbe better it will be for the whole people. There ^ is neither rhyme nor reason in attempting to ant. nsidfi a law of the State, and any effort to ot resist, the operations of the whiskey law in h this State will be futile. C. The law, the officers, and a large majority Of the people of the State demand that the whls?* tt key element shall obey the law, and they will ng be required to submit to it. Whether the tt mayors and aldermen of the towns and cities gj endorse the law or not, they are foolish if they attempt to nullify the law or override vl the officers of the State who are armed with er the authority and the power to enforce the bi law. nt As far as the Press and Banner in Informed hl there Is no disposition on the part of any one at in this county to encourage lawlessness. On bi I the contrary, we have not heard of a single *a ! individual who would countenance resistance to any law, though of course there are no t'i doubt men who would not object to a little tJI good liquor, even without the dispensary label. Blockade whiskey has been drank ev- h< erywhere, but it has not been common for the citizen to defy the law: G LETTER TO GOVERNOR TILLMAN. Jj" Abbeville, S. C.. Jan. 6,1S94. B. R. Tillman, Governor, W. H. Ellerbe, Comptroller wenerai, u. >v. eucnsnau, Aiwr- ney General, State Board of Control: Jn Dear Sirs?Your letter was received yester- th day relative to the enforcement of the dlspensary law In our town, and In reply we beg to "> say thatvou shall have our hearty co-opera- lri tlon and assistance In enforcing the law. m So far as we are Informed there are no m "blind tigers" In Abbeville, and we do not deem It necessary to burden ourselves with the expense of constable*' salaries. Respecttully, K. M. Hill, Intendant, E. B. Gary, J. C. Klugh, S? James Taggart, James Chalmers, Secretary, ,, Wardens. ea THE PROFITS ON WHISKEY. ap The dispensary profits for the last bIx months have been as follows: ; July S 08 00 pi August 131 50 September 292 95 . October 517 17 November......... 754 14 December 1,237 91 Total $3,001 67 j* THE SHARE OF TOWN AND COUNTY. The net profit being divided equally between the town and the county, the share of ac each would be 81.500.83. Under the license system of last year there were Issued, we believe, five licenses for the first six months, at ' the rate of S500 a year for each, on which were paid 81,250 into the treasury of the town, and lD assuming that the State received a pro rata share of $100 from each, a total of 8230. Leaving out of consideration, from a moral ] standpoint, the vast improvement of the din- all pensary over the license system, the town has he received 81.500.83 for the last half of the year as agaiust 81,250 for the first half. The county , has received $1,500.83 as against $250 for the first half. The figures speak for themselves. THE DIFFICULTIES. 'if But there are circumstances which militated against the profits for the last six months, namely: The prejudice which ex- fo< lsted against the opening of the dispensary, tb and the lact that large stocks of whiskey nt were bought in anticipation of the change. pe Another matter where the largest losses gr were sustained was In the bad schedule of prices. The dispensary was started with a , view to discouraging the sale of whiskey, but t instead of carrying out that policy the of- al acers (.vmruuiug tuo uudiucbo dhuukcu ? schedule of prices much below the former J>rlces which we had been paying to the bars or doubtful stuff. The price of half pints J and pints should be 25 or 80 cents and 50 or 60 Pr cents. Pr If the price of half pints alone bad been in- m creased to the former price, 25 cents, the net profits for December would have been over , $400 more than it was. m If the State will sell liquor It should charge r}1 prices which are not lower than those which Vy. formerly prevailed. gU JOINED IN HOLY WEDLOCK. tlj Willi Ihe New Year Lover* Begin a g(J New Lite. al On last Thursday evening January 4, 1891, ?? at half-past eight o'clock, Miss KateStrlckle and Mr. William P. Beard, both of this vll- !' lage, were united in marriage, Ihe Rev. J T. B. Anderaon performing the ceremony. The C11 WeUUlUK UJim UlttUC Ut IUO UUUIC U1 lllc U1 IUC O sister, Sirs. Knox, widow of the late John Knox, wbo was for many years a conspicuous figure Id the business circles of Abbeville. The wedding march was played by Miss Eva Klrby, whose artistic touch of the keys was only equalled by her modesty and grace A ot manner. When the bride and groom appeared In the parlor, they halted beneath a bending arch, lrom which was suspended a horse-shoe ' made of living green, and ornamented with ge pretty flowers. Mr. Anderson then perform- co ed the ceremony, which.was witnessed by the 101 relatives and friends wbo had been bidden to an the marriage feast. Bs When the ceremony was finished, and when jn the loving couple bad been pronounced bus- pe band and wife, the lelatlves and friends went ib forward and extended hearty good wishes for uc their increasing happiness in the successive years as they progress on the Journey of life. \ The supper was a most excellent one, and en included everything that Is ever found at a De wedding supper?meats, sweetmeats, solids, hi liquids, all in tempting profusion?while the m arrangements for the comfort and pleasure of i0 the guests were all that skill and forethought ; could tuggest. After all had partaken of the m good things, the abundance that was left over ar reminded us of the occasion when the multi- <m, tude had dined on fish and bread. < The walla of the purlor were elaborately dec- Al orated with hollv, mistletoe, cedar, and whatever else could add a grace or a charm tb to the occasion, while the brilliant lights re- ai fleeted the beauly and loveliness of the jt? whole. i The grnom Is a member of the firm conduct- oc lng the Tugaloo Iron Works, proficient In the or Iron business, and possesses the enerev and W( the ability to win success in life. Having k, come to Abbeville only a year or two ago, )0 Abbeville shows her highest appreciation of j him by allowing him to take unto himself ^ the bride of his choice. As a Benedict be Is t0 thrice welcomed to all the privileges and to benefits of being a citizen of Abbeville. < The bride is originally from Kentucky, but ] for several years has made Abbeville her home, where she Is held In high esteem by those who know her. Her excellent qualities of head and heart make her a crown to her a< husband, of which he has Just reason to be very proud, while his worth as a mah will 1 be a Joy to her forever. Mr. and Mrs. Geortre Strickle, who have i, recently moved from Louisville. Ky., to Atlanta, Ga., came from their distant home to g, do honor to the occasion, and spend the < Christmas holidays with his beloved mother and sisters. Mr. and Mrs, Beard will, for the present at p( least, make their home at he bohse of Mrs. Knox, and will occupy the quarters so rejent- pr ly vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Anderson where they spent the first months of their married life so happily. Kentucay and South Carolina have Joined ev hearts and bands, and Abbeville will furnish vj a happy home and a delightful resting place ge for the newly wedded pair. Uf ^ n< ABBEVILLE'S GROWTH. .? a be Steady Increune iu Population and a Constant Growth of UuslnesN. Mr. J. H.

If he is correct in R | this opinion, our population has greatly in creaseu since isw. .men me unneu oiuies census gave us credit for only 1695. The splendid high school, the railroad, the iron wi foundry, the shoe factory, the oil mill, the ^ll door, SHSh and blind factory, and other lines b0 of business have done the work. The store ?e houses are all occupied, and every dwelling has one or more families in it. The demand uf for rent is greater than ever before, and new Pa houses are going up all the time.

It was the notion, fondly cherished by the Commissioner of Patents wneu lie passeu upou tilt! uii|jiuBiii)>uiiuiwuu which hud been filed with him lor registry, that the application set forth, Dot what the Stnte Itself had done, or authoilzed to be done, but what certain otHcera or agents of the State, acting of their own wrong, bad assumed to do In the name of the state. This notion seems still to have a lodgment in the mind of counsel (or the Commissioner. They show It time and again in their brief. And In their peroratlou, when they wish to Impress upon the Court the direct consequences that would follow the registering or the trade-mark of the appellee, they say : "To command the Commissioner of Patents i to Issue a certificate (of registration) In this case would bo to direct that Benjamin it. Tillman should be armed with a warrant. In the name and under the seal of the United States, to go into all the Federal Courts In the land to hunt down and criminally prosecute Ills leliow-cltlzens with oppressive, Idle and vexatious litigation in order to curry out a dispensory law of the State of South Carolina." There is a disease among the political critics of the present regime In South Carolina that causes the afflicted to speak of "Ben. Tillman" as, notouly the Executive branch of the Govern meni, but the Legislative as well, and the major part of the Judicial. At times the dls eu?e alfectR tbe nerves and tbe mental vision, and then ibe sufferers, at tbe sound of every noise and tbe uigbt of every object, cry out, "Ben. Tlllmun," "Ben. Tillman," and set up a wall of borror. When tbey lie down to sleep, tbe fearful spectre haugsover them as a nightmare, and they wake from tbelr fretful slumbers, moaniui:, "Hen. Tillman," "Ben. Tillman" If counsel for the sppellant have caught the malady?It Is known on Its native heath as "Antl-Ti lluianlsm," aud It manifests Itself In varying degrees of virulence; lfj o?%nol1unl T ou if huVfl hxPomP CUUUOCi 1UI lUVJU^OIIUU.,imV1??'v -- ; Inoculated with that malady, I am uot hutprised that lu all the acta ol the Stale tliey should see nothing but "Ben. Tillman." I -rv,^ CANDIDATES FOR CLEMSON. . ( PYAMTttATT/YNTS APP RflHTJ U /W1 ill JUlXi.A4.VAl bJ AAA?JU WWAI TO BE HELD. 1 I ?

' The second session of Cleracon College will j beeln on Thursday, February 15, 1894. Tnere are about one thousand boys in tbe r State who want to become students Id the c college, butoDly 000 of tbem can get places. ^ In Tact It Is not likely that more thau from 200 to 300 new applicants caQ enter. There I s , room for 600 boys, that number having been ? present at tbe last session, but the Board of J Trustees estimated tbut a great many of tbem 8 will not return. This will leave vacancies c for a number which Is yet unknown. i The Board of Trustees decided at Ihe last j meeting that future applicants must undergo B examinations. As many boys as desire may c enter these examinations. Ho soon as tbe au- y tboritles of the college know the number of n vacancies existing in tbe respective counties ^ they will notify a sufficient number of tboxe 0 who stood the highest to till tbe vacancies. v The following announcement to intending applicants ban been sentout: , *An examination, beginning at len o'clock In the mornlim of Januurv 18th. 1895. will be held at Hie county seat of your county, under ibe directions of your County School Commissioner, to determine who of the applicants are entitled to enter the college at the opening of the session of 1S95, on the third Thursday of February. Studeuts under fifteen years of age are not to beudmlited except where two brothers apply,one being over fifteen and the other not under fourteen, "For those desiring to enter the Freshman class a thorough proficiency la arithmetic, elementary algebra, English gramma, geography and hlftory of the United StaH* Is required. Applicants not prepared to enter the college classes will be admitted to the preparatory department," The following resolutions regarding the admission of students were adopted by the Board of Trustees: "Resolved, That the admission of Btodents other than those already in attendance at the college be upon the following conditions: "1. Students must undergo a medical examlnasion and no person will be admitted who is not healthy and free from contagious (lineages, Including consumption. "2. Students will be appointed among the counties In proportion to representatives In the House of Representatives, under the following regulations: "Boys prepared to enter college classess proper will have preference over who can only enter preparatory classes. "As between boys of equal preparation, the oldest will have preference. "Applicants already entered will be examined at their respective county seats after due notice, and permits to enter to be issued by the examining board. "Other things being equal, the first applicants will receive permits. "Where a county has not sent It* quoto, the places thus left shall be divided among the other counties by lot. "8. Boys availing themselves of the opportunity of entering within ten days of the opening of the session will have their rUhts In the place given to applicants next on the rolL" CIBCULAR OF INFORMATION. Accompanying the forgoing facts is a circular of Inlorraatlon. The textbooks recommended to those preparing to enter the Freshman class are Wentworth's Grammar School Arithmetic, Venable's Easy Altcebra, (used In the preparatory course), or Robinson's Elementary Algebra, Whitney-Lock wood's English Grammar, Appleton's Higher Oeorgraphy, Eggleson's History of the United States and Its People. There are are two courses In the Freshman ( la>s?that In chemistry and agriculture and that In mechanics and engineering, Besides the studies In the first course Is (he following: Practical work in agriculture, eight hours per week : practical work in mechanics, two hours per week, free-hand draw* Ing, four hours per week ; military drill, five | uuurs fier wkii, Iu tbe second coarse, beside tbe studies, is the following: Practical work !n mechanics, eight hours week; physical laboratory work, four hours per week; drawing, four hours per ( week; military drill and tactics, five hours ( per week. In addition to the uniform students may provide themselves with work clothes us tbey desire. Each studeoL will be required to bring with him four sheets, twe blankets, a comfort, six towels, one pillow and two pillowcases. EXPENSES. The expenses for one session ol ten months are ax follows: Board S 70 00 Wasbluir 5 00 Medical Fee 5 00 Two Uniforms 28 75 Incidental Fee S 00 8108 75 Tnltlon, 840 a session, Is charged to studenU whose parents are worth 85.000 above all indebtedness. Before entering the college, a stndent must pay for uniforms. 828.75; for one month's board and washing, $7.50; for medical fee, 82.80?In all 8H6.25. No deviation, whatever, from this rule will be made. Tbe amount that must be paid (for each month following the first will depend upon the quality and quantity of labor performed by the student. Agricultural student* are paid 8 cents per hour for productive l*bor?two hours per aay. Mechanical students are required to work two bourn daily, and are puid according to I the value of work?never over 8 cents per * hour. Henceastudent may make by labor about a month and thus reduce board :and wash- ? ing to 38.50 per month. In short a poor boy c may pass one session of ten month* at Clem- ; Hon College for about 8S0?allowing $10 for i books ami stationery, which are sola to the students at actual cost. ] No reduction in board will be made for studedts who come in after the opening, nor for those who are absent daring the pension for a period of less than one month. RAILBOAD RACKET. Track Torn Up?Cam Wrecked and Valuable "Dispensary" Waited? Man Hurt. Last Sunday morning a Southbound freight train on the O. C. & N. was more or less wrecked and the track torn up something , like half a mile. 1 The Injury to the track was considerable. It was, as well as we can learn, not antll Monday evening that It was sufllclently repaired lor trains to puss, although a construction train was standing at Clinton and ready , lor any eraergeucy. Extra trains went down from Abbeville, and " passengers were transferred. We have conflicting statements as to the amount of the wreckage. Borne say that a , majority of the boxes were wrecked, while ' others say only two were seriously smashed, . but all agree In saying that a quantity of ? "dispensary" was wasted. Tne cars were jl loaded with merchandise. " One colored inau was seriously. If not fatal- * ly Injured. At the lime 01 lue accident John Nix. a colored trainman, was on topol j one of the earn. He Jumped against a bank ' and broke bis arm In two places, and received J; other Injuries. He was brought to Abbe- ? vllle, and uow:he Is In Kort Pickens where be Is receiving the necessary attention. Afiei u the train was stopped, and those who were . uninjured took tbelr bearings they found *' Nix as stated above, and bis cap was still * lying on top oI the car from which be bad Jumped. This Is one time when it seems " that 11 would have been better to have borne * the ill he had than to have Jumped to others , he knew not of. jj Nocieiy 11 it* ii.
