Wednesday, June 20,1894. Sweet Charity. Of late the charity of good people has been strongly appealed to in behalf of storm sufferers on the ooast. The newspapers seem to have discovered that there are now persons in needy circumstances in mat section which was last August submerged by the waves of the sea. We have taken no part for or asalnst this recent claim upon our charity. When the misfortune first befell that people, our reool taction la, that the people of ADDevuie responded. That was right, but we are not so certain of the wisdom or giving to that people at thla late day. It reminds as too much of a circumstance that occurred before the war. A man had the misfortune to lose bis house and Its oontenta by Are, and after that be would always appeal to the strangers whom he met. One of the beselged strangers Interrogated blm as to when he had suffered thla great loss. It was ascertained to have been about twenty-eight years ago. It has now been nearly a year since the Bluffton sufferers lost their crops. Thla newspaper doesn't understand charity to be the dividing out of our goods Indiscriminately among the unfortunate, the thriftless or the lazy people who fail or neglect to work, and then call on us to divide our earnings. Charity In Its first, its beat, and its highest Incentive exists in the heart and not in the pocket book. It would restrain our tongues - *-* * - -~l_VW.v_ I, irom BpWKliiK OYil ui UUI uc<5uuvif auu iv would forbid oar hearts from believing or entertaining evil of our unfortunate people. While of course plain and positive facts that are susceptible of proof are to be recorded In the book of remembrance, yet a large per * cent, of the neighborhood scandal or gossip Is based on the merest flotlon?or at wont. Is founded only on the speaker's evil construction of an act which In itself may have been totally innocent Our nnderstandlng Is, If a person, be be rich or poor, friend or stranger, happen to an accident In our immediate vicinity, whereby be needs assistance, it is charity to give the needed help?whether to call bis friends or a physician, whether to shelter him or to feed him. If his horse throw him atybur gate, charity demands that we contribute to bis relief, promptly and qnlekly. If the hone gets sick and lies down atoorgate.it Is our boanden duty to render the animal any asalstanoe possible. That Is charity. Bat If oar neighbor's borse dies, we are In no wise called upon to bay him another bone. That would be to endow him wltb an estate, wbloh act wonld enoourage shlftlessness. There Is no charity Mn feeding people who have work to do, bat wbo seek an excuse for not doing It. The poor we have always with U6, and li people are amlnd to give as long as they can And somebody poorer than they are, they can soon divide oat their entire estate. It may be that there Is suffering on the coast. We do not doubt It. We presume the same Is true in Abbeville county. Tbere can always be found suffering, destitution and banger. The situation will never be different As tbe giving away of tbe money for which we have labored and economized In our living to save, 1s a practical thing, and one to be well considered, It Is the duty of onr preach- j era to protect their Hooka from unnecessary ! draft*, and they ove It to the poor to see tha! they are not encouraged In Idleness, and thai (hay are not led to believe that Christian people will anpport them Id the lack of a proper effort to aaataln themselves. If people need money that they are able to work for, It la charity to give them an oppor* tunlty to work. It la positively slnlul to support such people In idlenesa. People ought to be tanght to be self-reliant. \r The Inaaaigratloa Craae. At Intervals, more or less remote, the 1m. migration orate, like measlea, takes possession of the pnblio mind. The newspapers may be relied on to boost "Immigration." The editors who could command a fleet or execute the moat difficult operation in 8urgery, M c ? ! TT / * wuj IV uuiy Uli muv wwmvtjr n??u immigrants, and landowners are generally urged to cooperate by selling their lands at nominal figures. The Press and Baqner takes no stock In any such agitation. If anybody oomes amongst us, we will be glad to weloome blm, but we do not desire an indiscriminate moving of ' poor people to this country, and we do not enootuage our people to sell their lands lor less than they are worth. This oonntry is ours, and this land should belong to us and our children forever. We shouldn't do as the Indians did?part with our lands for a trifle. We don't recollect if the Indians encouraged Immigration or not. bat It aeema to at that some of tbe "Immigrant*" lost their scalps and all tbe Indians lost their lands. We don't wan't to repeat history in this particular. Palatal Accident. Mr,A. J. Sproles, while In the neighborhood of Donalds last week, In attempting to get out of his buggy, broke bis thigh bone. Tbe accl> dent la a painful one In more reepeels than one, but we learn that his physicians think he will be up again in four or five weeks. The Press and Banner is very sorry for tbe accident to our friend and correspondent, and we doubt not all tbe readers of the paper will share our regret at tbe misfortune to one wbo has so often entertained them by his excellent letters. The Seaalorlal Race. The Augusta Cbroniole or last Thursday contained a long editorial urging tbe ability of Senator Butler to represent the State In tbe Senate, and urging bis re-election, while acknowledging that Qoveror Tillman's desire tor the place Is an honorable ambition. Tbe Press and Banner will look on w1th Interest as the campaign progresses. We are a little indifferent just now, bnt may bocome interested later on. Candidates. If you don't see what you want, aak for it. Now is tbe time to announce yourself as a candidate for offioe. The oost is no more from now until the election, than if put In tbe paper the last week of the campaign. If a sufficient number of candidates oome out tor offioe it reconciles tbe printer to his bard lot of running a newspaper year after year. / Dea'l Foricet. The Press and Banner charges regular advertising rates for all communications which are tor the advancement of the Interests of Individual candidates. Attacks upon candidates will not be published at aiL tr See new names in the candidates column. We hope to see yours there next week, and we further hope to be able to pocket your $5. That is why we are here. FIGARO Drug Store. Get Kerr's prices before you buy your furniture. Will the Opposition Disintegrate? We believe tbat there it a general feeling that the opponents of the administration will not pnt out a ticket In this campaign. The fact tbat the opponents are not organized portends tbelr disintegration as a party. Without leaders no party can long exlBt. Without the Idea or the dream of being rewarded by office, nobody Is willing to undertake the expensive and thankless office of marshaling a forlorn hope. The opposition being In a hopeless minority, we may therefore expect many others to do as Ex-Comptroller-Oeneral John Sam Verner has done?go Into the ranks of the dominant element. If they can't control the storm, they will go with It, In the hope of giving it direction. There is no use to spin theories as to who are. or are not Democrats, and it Is useless to wnere laojr are 10 oe iuuua. we presume that be uttered blB true convlctloDS on the questions which were propounded to blm. That being true, be baa a right to the respect of the people. If then, he and Governor Tillman hold the same views, it will be merely a preference between the men. If Senator Batler had chosen to antagonise the. dominant element, It would have been useless for blm to stand for re-election. His true friends, while being disappointed at bis course, will find that he is working for the office in bis own peculiar way, and they should not forsake him because he wants to get into Governor Tillman's preserves. ? ?i ? Defense of tbe Bonlh. From all such, now and forever, may the good Lord deliver us. Conscious of tbe rectitude of her oourse, sensible of her high character and never doubting the manhood of her men, tbe South needs no deienoe from Northern traducere and fugitive negroes in foreign lands. To dispute with these classes of people la to put ourselves on tbe defensive, and whoever assumes the defensive Is put at a disadvantage. Let tbe liar and tbe traduoer exhaust tbelr efforts?honest seekers lor truth will right tbe wrong. As every section of tbe world furnishes a specific for every poison It produoes, so the land where liars and tra. dace re flourish, will sooner or later furnish truth-seekers to pat their laisewords to shame. Knowing that we are right, and oonsclous ol doing no wrong to anybody, we can let our assailants alone. Tbe neighbors wbo seek the truth will furnish the antldate. Tbe Laarenavllle Herald. This old and reliable Reform newspaper Is fighting tbe Honorable Washington Shell, with all Its energy. We are not informed as to tbe motive or neoesslty for this course, but presume there is good and sufficient reason. If tbe Herald was a younger paper, and its editor had bad less experience In tbe business, we would be Inclined, with tbe light before us, to think that the Herald was making a mistake In a&salllng its Congraasman. There are times when it Is necessary Cor a newspaper to go to war, but as a rule It Is Impolitic and unwise to enter Into a scrimmage for or against a politician on personal grounds. Political opposition is all right and political adherence is not wrong. Facts may be stated, if necessary, but venom, epltbets, insinuations, or arguments are different things. Gone to be Beformers. Ex Comptroller-General John Sam Verner bas'Jolned bis political fortunes with tbe Reformers. He made a speech to ao assemblage of Reformers in Columbia last Friday night, pledging; bis support to that wing of tbe Democratic party. If tbe pure old line Democrats will now abuse him enough, be may get office, but, as a rule, lateoonverb> only swell tbe ranks. One blessing to come In tbls change of bis political affiliation will be, ;tbat we will have one kl cker less, and t be antls won't miss one brother much. While onr side can never elect anybody, we can abuse tbe good name ot the State, and sail into the leaders of tbelr side. Tbe Speaking at Bock Hill. We give notes of tbe speaking at Rock Hill, laBt Monday, wblcb are taken from tbe News and Conrler and Tbe State. Tbe account Is readable, and we presume that every one will want to see It. It seems to us that there has been a great deal of talk about bow Tillman and Butler would tear each other to pieces k and we predict that tbe campaign will not be without interest. If Senator Butler keeps up his tactics In nagging Tillman, it is not unlikely thai be may reply In kind. Neither the Governor nor the Senator are lacking In courage or repartee, but we would suggest that tbe effort of eltber to ridicule the other In the presence of bis friends Is not good politics. Butler and Tillman are both able men, and eltber would make a good Senator. Their politics, we believe, are about tbe same. They are neighbors at home, and both come from Edgefield. A Hero. A few years aero a fire broke out ia a charming; little Swiss village, says an exchange. Iu a few hours the quaiDt frame houses were entirely destroyed. The poor peasants ran around wringing their hands and weeping over their lost homes and the bones of tbe burned cattle. One poor man was in greater trouble than his neighbors, even. His home and cows were gone, and so also was his son, a bright boy of sir or seven years. He wept and refused to hear any words of comfort. He spent the night wandering sorrowfully among the ruins, while nis acquaintances had taken refuge in the neighboring villages. Just as daybreak came, however, be heard a well-known sound, and looking up he saw his favorite cow leading the herd, and coming directly after them was his bright-eyed little noy. "O, mj son! my son !" he cried, "are you really alive ?" "Why, yes, father* When I saw the fire I ran to get our cows away to the pasture lands." "You are a hero, my boy!" the father exclaimed. But the boy said : "O, no ! A hero is one who does some wonderful deed. I led the cows away because they were in danger, and I knew it was the right thing to do." "Ah !" cried the father, be who does the ri^ht thing at the right time is the Every evil to which we do not succumb is a benefactor. We gain the strength of the temptation we resist. attempt to rule everybody out of tbe Democratic party wbo does not thluk as we do on all tbe Issues that confront this oountry. We must maintain our unity as a people, and must settle little dlfierenoes among our selves, without breaking up Into little factions, some of wbom would sooner or later appeal to tbe negro to arbitrate our differences. Flret, we bad tbe Bolters, or Btralgbtouts in 1890, tben we bad Alllancemen and Ocalaltes. Now we bave Third Partyltes. If all these degrees of Democracy are to be required to slough off from the real aDd true Democracy, aa we may see it, there will be few left. Not enough to keep watch over tbe old corpse lor one night. Tbe State Democratic Committee did right in not exoluding any from tbe Democratic ranks who are willing to pledge fidelity to the party and to support tbe nomlDees at the polls. What this country most needs is peace. As between the aspirants for office, there is not enough for the people to become excited over, and we think that General Butler is to be congratulated in bis course in looking for votes SPEAKING AT ROCK HILL, i i * Be FIRST GUN IN THE STATE CAMPAIGN. ? frc OOI Butler and Tillman Meet, and Each bl,< Has SonclfelAt to Nay ?

The flavor of ha previous campaigns was missing. True there Jot was a st.appy ana spicy debate, but happily at no booting tactics. As to attendance tbe * meeting was a disappointment. Not over (F1 1,500 or 2,000 persons were present, and with ? that small attendance it Is said that from 500 1 to 8U0 of Senator Butler's friends were there yo from other counties. The townspeople show- ba ed precious little interest or enthusiasm. To an get down to plaia unvarnished facts without Gc color or favoritism the chief interest was in J ine senatorial coniesi. aiiquuku u whs m- iaa leged tbat tbe aliens Id Rock HU1 were pro- " lesslonal boomers, tbe fact remains tbat there aU was no semblance of bad temper, disorder or tb< bowling among tbe audience. The candidates flo showed whatever antagonistic feeling there 1 was. , An Although to-day was something of a sklr- mi mlsh It developed tbe patent fact that Senator bl< Butler is going to make a more active cam- en palgo against Governor Tillman than bis bu former opponents. Figuratively speaking m< Gen. Butler caught bold of Governor Tillman wl to-day and gave blm several pops, unexpected un twirls and punches. Fortuantely Governor go Tillman and bis friends took things with ap- bei parent good nature, but for that matter every- by one was In a Jolly good humor. Tbe crowd eel was wltb Gen. Butler, that was admitted, tei Tbe Interrogations were on Butler's side this an time. Tbe Tillman men explained It by tbe eai alleged use of free passes for Gen. Butlers ad- tbi mlrers, As to tbat I bave do concern ; that bli 1b politics. There were many of Senator But- bei ler's friends there from other counties. They Is cheered blm at opportune times, tbey saw sic that be bad a fair showing, and tbey went 1 without tbe slightest Intention of disturbing cn the peace, as was shown. Tbe debate was ] vigorous and spicy and the only loterestlng pa feature of tbe meeting. It is given below fei pretty fully aDd tells the story of tbe day. It w< also indicates that Governor Tillman Is not ' fretting to participate in a general primary co for the Senatorsblp. lb * From the State. ad President White, after cautioning the crowd co not to inten upl tbe speakers, Introduced Gov- gr ernor Tillman. Tbe Governor advanced to of the front of the platform, paused a balf mln- |8 ute, and, aftei the Blight cheering subsided, 11 began by saying that be oocupled a peculiar th position In tbat be waB commencing to stump tb the State for the third time. th Governor TUImnn'M Speech. tI( "I want to get down to the level wltb you lei boys ibat plow," Governor Tillman exclaim- (si ed.

He ca spoke of tbe fictitious panic of last year being '9C "created, purposely created by the Sbylocks be of Wall street. Did Cleveland attempt to car- lo ry out the silver plank of tbe Chicago plat- M form ? No, my God, no! and the man in tbe lo White House is more responsible than any ea other man living for tbe betrayal or tbe De- gc mocracy." Then tbe Governor denounced tbe sale of lo bonds last year In tbe interest of the bond- ao holders, who burned tbe candle of poverty- fa stricken tollers at both ends. We shall have bl no remedy until we get together and torn tbe to whole kit and boodle out. "When we do get frl In, ob, my God, won't we enjoy grinding that m kit or corn." ki Then tbe Governor reiterated the charge re about the fraudulent demonetization of all- th ver, declaring that Cleveland and Sherman ' were cheek by Jowl and that Sherman was fit triumphant. ro "Coxey went to Washington with a crowd pi ot ragamuffins to ask Congress for help, on What did they do? 1 hey cracked poor Cox- cl< ey'b bead.

'he Governor Is In his "A. B. C.'s" about ance. One of his friends calls him a "geis of destruction." A common tramp may iw up a bouse with dynamite.
