Tbe President did exactly right In ordering troops to suppress tbe riot. His proclamation, ordering tbe rioters to disperse, and giving their sympathizers notice that they must take the consequence of being found in bad company was also right. The forbearanoe of General Miles was all that anybody could wish. This country must be ruled by law and order, or by mobs and anarchy. Tbe sooner the question is settled tbe better. Tbe strikers need a lesson. Debe and his co-coneplratort should be held to a strict accountability for the destruction of property, and they should be punished as other Incendiaries and outlaws are punished for offences against property. All will grant tbe right of the Railway Union to quit work, but none can Justify their destruction of property. r Don't Forget. Tbe Press and Banner charges regular advertising rates for all communications wblcb are for tbe advancement of the interests of individual candidates. Attacks upon candidates will not be published at all. tr MAJ. E. B. MURRAY DEAD. News which Will be a Shock to the Ntate?Anderson's Most Prominent ?U?en Drowned in Front of His Own House. Greenville News. Anderson. July 7.?Maj. E. B. Murray was drowned this afternoon Id a small pond In front of bis bouse. He and Miss Fellola, bis daughter. Miss Mary Preer and Miss Helen Sloan were in bathing. After being in about an boar Ma). Murray carried a boat out near tbe middle of tbe pond for one of tbe young ladies to dive lrom. She dived an^ swam ashore and while standing on shore tbey noticed Mr. Murray struggling In tbe water at some distance from tbe boat. His daughter asked him if she mast come to bim. He shook bis bead. 8he then went out to him with Miss Preer. Major Murray caught bold of each of the yoanf ladles and wonld have pulled tbern under bat that tbey caught bold of the boat. They called for help, but oefore any assistance arrived he sank in water aboat ten feet deep. The news spread, very rapidly and a larg# crowd soon gathered. William Giles, after several searches, found the body and after several efforts brought it np and carried it to shore. Doctors Harris, Wllblte and FrlersoD were soon at work exerting every effort to reBusclate bim, but after working more than an boor tbey found no signs of life. Tbe body was in water about twenty minutes. It is thought by the doctors that be was attacked by cramp or vertigo. His death causes tbe deepest sorrow and universal gloom here. He was one of the leading men in the State and had done much hard work for the State. He was for a number of years a representative and senator from this county and always took an active part in both capacities. He was in his forty-second year.

Children'** Day?E*?ays?Dinner?Alliance? New Railroad?'A Land of 9111k and Honey. Editor PresB&nd Banner: We left your city early Saturday morning, July 7tb, en route for Sblloh church, to be present at the exercises of Children's Day. The crops along the road were well worked and pretty good, but a little late for the season of the year. After a pleasant drive of two bours we reached that aged and noted church "Old Sbilob," which, bidden amid nature's own bandlwork, lofty oaks and majestic poplars, seemed a fit place for God's worshippers. Here were assembled tbe beauty, wit and grace and tbe gallantry and chivalry of all Antrevllle. Tbe Sunday School Superintendent, Mr. Harkness, made a short Introductory speech, and tbe exercises of Children's Day began. All tbe recitations were creditably, admirably rendered, and showed careful and skillful training. Each child's recitation brought to the minds of us older and care-worn men and matrons tbe words of tbe poet slightly changed : Turn backward, O Time In thy flight, And make me a child again Just for one day. All praise is duetbem. Miss Emma Carwile, tbe accomplished daughter; of our friend, Mr. A. F. Carwile, read an essay on the subject ol "Cheerfulness" which was well written and delivered in a manner worthy of her. For elegance of diction, purlly of construction. It was unsurpassed. Miss Carwile reflects credit upon her instructors. and her alma mater Is proud of her. MIks McCarter also read an essay on the subject of "Progress" which deserves the praise and received the applause of those present. MissMeta Brownlee, the charming daughter of Capt. John E. Brownlee, presided at the organ, and at her fairy-fingered touch sweet strains of music reminded us that? "Music bath charms to soothe tbe savage At intermission for dinner, the congrega| tion repaired to the grove uround tbe church and partook ol a most sumptuous repast. After enjoying a splendid dinner wltb Mr. A. M. Erwln. we began to look around and found a perfect army of candidates. Jolly, friendly, talkative fellows tbey are. Among other candidates were to be seen I. H. McCalla, F. B. Gary, R. E. Hill, J. E. Jones, W. W. Bradley, J. D. (Jarwlle, R. H. Armstrong, W. A. Lanier and W. T. Mllford. Kev. Mr. Fennel and Mr. R. S. Galloway were to have addressed the children In the afternoon, but for some reason tbey failed to put in tbeir presence, consequently the exercises were cut a little short. Before closing this letter we would say one word about ANTREVILLE AND HER PEOPLE. Antreville is situated in tbe northern part of Abbeville County and has four stores, two churches, public gin, grist mill, and one academy. The surrounding country is level and sandy. AGRICULTURE. The laughing valleys of corn and broad fields of cotton denote that agriculture is the chief Industry. Land in this neighborhood a few years ago would scarcely produce 300 pounds of seed cotton per acre and to-day this same land will easily produce 900 poundB of seed cotton per acre. New houses dot the once barren, but verdant plains which shows that this couutry is attracting, by its worth, new life, new blood, new people, people who engage in farming not because they can't do anything else, but because they look on farming as an honorable, high-toned calling. EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. The former school house, an old dilapidated log cabin, a typical rural ancient school bouse that was probably built a century ago. is still standing and marks tbe history ol this vicinity, was asked by progress to stand aside, that a large three roomed academy might take Its place and make a glorious future for this people. Tbe academy is an Imposing structure of modern design, equipped with all the modern appliances. Messrs. Harper and McDavId, young men ofsplen* * J "U""" Kid a/thnnl Thfiv U1U UUUIiy MIC Kltuiu( tuig dkuuv.. J are (jiving abundant BatiBlaction. A music ball is shortly to be built as an annex to tbe academy where tbe girls may become proficient in tbe art of music. SOCIETY. To those who speak of the MNatlonlte" as an unsopblstocaied mountaineer would say tbere was never a greater mistake. Her sons are thrifty, progressive, intelligent, gallant and chivalrous, ber daughters are lovely, bewitblDg and graceful. Intelllicence and wit mark|thelr conversation, while grace and elegance are characteristic of their manner. They have tbe best school in the couuty with, perhaps, the exception of Abbeville and Due West. ALLIANCE. The Farmer's Alliance is one of tbe most solid institutions ol Antrevilie and Is in a flourishing condition. Its president, Mr. S. B. Knox, has tbe confidence of every one. Through bis untiring efforts the Alliance has built and equipped a splendid ginnery, but finding It too small to serve the increasing patronage, has determined to build this summer, a large modern ginnery, with a small oil mill attached. BUILDING A RAILROAD. The people of Antrevilie, in fact Diamond Hill township have come together with that unanimity, that singleness.of purpose which is such a strong characteristic of Greenwood's people, and determined to build a railroad from Abbeville via Antrevilie to Pclzer, a city of 10,000'inhabitants, which as soon as the addition to the factory is completed will consume 60,00* bales ol cotton per annuiu, four times as much cotton as Is now shipped from Abbeville annually. While II18 true inai luere are uu ntu ycvple in Diamond Hill township, still when two hundred inert* In moderate circumstances come together as one man, determine to accomplish a purpose there 1b no obstacle, however, seemingly, insurmountable, but that Indomitable pluck and energy, a characteristic of this people, can and will overcome. We returned home feeling that we had visited a land of milk and honey. R. E. C. July 7, 1891. CAPT. W. 0. SHAW. ??? He Consent* to Run Tor the Hoiine or Rep reaen tati ve*. Editor Press and Banner: Kindly allow me space In your worthy journal to express my appreciation of thecal! ibat has been made for me to enter the race for a seat In the House of Representatives. In addition to the article signed "His Many Friends" urging me to aocept the candidacy, and which appeared in your columns some days ago, I have been appealed tq by friends throughout the entire county to make the race. After due reflection It appears to be an imrarative duty to accept the candidacy, which do In response to the entreaties of my countrymen. My deportment in the political arena of Abbeville county has always been characterized by broad conservatism, and the record speaks louder than the most eloquent language of my sympathies and the people who have shared them. Aspiration to office Is a laudable ambition, hut. there are resDOiisibllltles with Its pur chase or attainment that should only rest with a man whose lire assures that expediency and wisdom requisite to discbarge every duty devolving upon him to tbe eminent satisfaction of bis constituency. If the good people of Abbeville oounty honor me with a place in the House of Representatives I shall seek to serve them with a deep sense of my responsibility?standing paramount above party faction and prejudice when the advancement of tbe best Interest* of my people is in question?always ready to subordinate my Judgment to that of a majority of the people?holding measures above men?principle above offloe, and tbe legislative retormatlon so long discussed ana agitated above the glaring plantom Policy, that barrier of indisputable strength in the train of human progress and development. This la the platform?stated briefly?upon which I solicit tbe votes of my fellow citizens, but in order that they may not mistake my position I will address them when the campaign opens in terms that cannot be questioned. Very respectlully, W. C. Shaw. Lowndesvllle, S. C., July 9,18BJ. Untimely Cut Down. Greenville News.

Augusta Chronicle. Ayearago the city of Chicago wast In holiday attire, and the World's Fair was In the hey-day of success. Hundreds of thousands of strangers crowded the already busy streets of the great Western metropolis, and Chicago was the most envied city In thecountry. To-day this great city Is In a turmoil of riotous excitement: its business crippled, Its people alarmed, and the future more ominous than the present. All this has been brought about by the stubbornness of the American Railway Union, of which President Debs is the head and controlling spirit. Pres Ident Debs talks fair enough, and declares that the Hallway Union contemplates no violence towards anybody, and if the railroads can supply the places or the striking; members of the union they will not be forcibly resisted. But In the face of this fair talk the wrecking of trains, the tearing up of tracks, and rioting among the strikers is of constant ocsurrence and recurrence. The trouble grew as has been before stated, out of a difference between Mr. Pullman and the employes of bis car works at Pullman. A reduction having taken place In their wages, they demanded the re-establishment of tbe old scale of prices. President Pullman himself appeared before tbe meeting of workmen, and gave them a full and frank statement of the condition of the company's business. He showed them that in order to get work for the shops and keep the men em pioyea lie uuu uiu lur wui t m yi i^a uu.v/? tbeaclual coat o( construction. He explained tbat the company was not only not receiving any returns on the capital and machinery employed, but was actually not receiving as much lor the manufacture of cars as it cost to make them, notably the flftyflve Long Island cars, which was the first large order of passenger cars let since the great depression, and which was sougbtfor by practically all the leading car builders In tbe country. "My anxiety," said President Pullman, "to secure tbat order, so as to put as many men to work as possible, was such that I put in a bid at more tban 8300 per car less tban tbe actual cost to the company. The 300 stock cars built for the Northwestern Road and tbe 250 refrigerator cars now under construction for the same company, will result in a loss of at least 812 per car, and the twenty-flve cars Just built lor the Lake .Street Elevated Road show a loss of $79 per car." In spiteol tbis frank and conciliatory showing on the part of President Pullman, tbe Pullman employes decided to go out on a strike. The pay rolls at tbe time amounted to about ?7,000 a day and were reduced 85,SOU by the strike, so that during the period of a little more tban six weeks which has elapsed, tbe employes who quit tbeir work have de prived themselves and their comrades of earnings or more tban 8200,000. As President Pullman was only trying to Erovlde work for the men, even at a loes, they ave done by striking Just what it was to his own interest to do by sbutting down, but which he would not do. The large number of extra cars which were made for the World's Fair travel have placed the supply far in advance ol the demand, so tbat tbe strike instead ol proving a hardship on the Pullman Company, is simply cutting of) tbe Income of tbe strikers. But it Is at thiB point tbat the strike passes beyond tbe legitimate bounds of a strike, and entrenches upon tbe business of the whole country, inter-state commerce, and the carrylngof malls. Instead ol leaving tbe Pullman strike to take care of itself, when the American Railway Union discovered that the Pullman Company was not worrying over the strike, but that tbe strikers were ihe only sufferers, having cut off their noses to spite their own faces, President Debs thought to show his power. He notified tbe Pull man authorities that unless they acceded to the Uem&DdB or meBiriaerB u? wuuiu uamm a boycott of Pullman cars on every railroad In the country hauling sleeping cars, and stop the railroad business of the country. The purpose of this was to incommode the public and embarrass the railroads so that the weight of public opinion would be brought to bear on the Pullman Company to force it to make a settlement with Its striking employes. But the general strike of the Railway Union, wbloh President Debs declared was to be so orderly and pacific, has been marked by the wrecking of trains, the Interference with through freights, the interruptions of the mails, the destruction ot property and much personal violence. The officers of the law have been derided and resisted, and the streets or Chicago, which is the seat of war, have been tilled with rioting mobs. Nothing could be more unjustifiable than the interference with the railroad business of the whole country because of a disagreement between the Pullmau company ana its employes about the price to be paid for work in the company's repair shops. What have the employes of the railroad a thousand miles from Pullman to do with the difference between the Pullman Company and Its mechanics ? And why should the traffic ot the whole country be disturbed, thousands of dollars of perishable freights be lost, and the mall communication be Interfered with ? But this is still not the worst, for when the officers of the law were called upon to preserve order and to protect trains that had been manned by others, the strikers resisted wllh violence the legal authorities. lore up tracks wrecked trains, and In various wayB proved themselves enemies of law and order, and removed themselves without the pale of sympathy of any law-abiding citizen. They have made an appeal to the military power necessary, and have Inaugurated on era of disorder and lawlessness which exceeds anything In exteut this country has heretofore known. Nobody questions the right of any employ or set of employes to quit work whenever they are unwilling to accept the pay that is offered for their services. Their rleht to do this Is clear and uudisputed. But when these strikers, who refuse to work at the price paid, violently prevents others from taking their places, who are willing to accept the terms ottered, right then they go beyond the pale of right and enter upon a pale of lawlessness wliicu is indefensible. The authority of the law, which Is bound to protect citizens in peaceful pursuits of their business, here Interposes Its strength, and the strikers tind themselves in the role of lawless rioters. It is (his unhappy predicament Into which President Debs has led the railroad employes of every company involved in the strike, and it is probable that before (be law is through wkh him he may understand the difference between men quitting work themselves and forcibly preventing others from working who are willing to take the pluce or the strikers. LOWNDESVILLE LOCALS. Excarnloii?Protracted JHeeiinir?Clone Nhave-CbftDKe of Nchedule? Visitor*. Lowndesvlile, July 2,1894. Sincemy last our dry streak has been pretty well watered. Our colored people had an excursion Thursday from Anderson to Athens via Savannub Valley Kailroad. We were sorry to hear a few days ago, that some of our young lady friends bad their feelings hurt In last week's Press and Banner, In regard to the Promised Land." In It, there was no personal allusion whatever, as we had tried to tlnd the favoured and dellghtlul locality, but had failed. Such being the case, no particular young ladies were referred to. Miss Minnie Adams of Augusta, came up Friday, to visit her friend Mrs. J. B. Franks. Mr. W. P. Lindsay of Due West was over Wednesday with the family of bis brother in law, Rev. H. (J. Fennel. Hev. W. T. Mathews reached here Tuesday evening and began a protracted meeting In Providence Church that night at 8:30 o'clock. Since theu he bus had two services a day, one at 10 a. m. and the other at 8:31 p. m. The congregations were large, especially so yesterday, several were added to the church, and the membership encouraged and strengthened. The Baptist and Methodist churohes were closed yesterday, uniting with the Presbyterian, thereby giving a crowded house at both services. The reputation of this Divine hh a minister anu a man, were wen bumHiueu by blm during his sojourn among us. He Is an earnest zealous worker Id (be Master's vineyard and his impressive style, and pleasant manners, can but prove a benediction to any commuulty to which be may be called. As a necessary consequence to the ending ofsolong a droutb as we have Just had tbe passing clouds were more or less charged with electricity, .but no actual casuallties to report. One very close shave of wblcb we have beard, was that of Mr. John T. Baskln and family, who had a strange, exciting and dangeroua experience who were sitting at the supper table Monday nlgbt while a passing cloud was discharging Its contents. Mr. Baskln and his daughter Miss Corrle, were at one side of the table with their backs to the door and about ;seveuty yards off, stood a post oak tree, which a bolt struck, about twenty feet above ground, a part of the bolt entered tbe door, passed between tbe two, partly deadening the left arm of the one, and the right arm ot the other, and In Its passage across tbe table, made a cup with a spoon in it, rapidly revolve, causing a ringing, wblcb could be heard all over tbe house, thence to Mr. Game tiaskin just across tbe table, botb of whose hauds felt for sometime as If they were asleep. Tbe other members of the famlily felt no effects whatever, except perhaps from fright. It was sometime before the former equilibrium was re-established. Miss Lultt Glltln now of Due West, but who first saw thellghtin Egypt, and whose father Is now there as a missionary. Is over here for a few days with the family of her kinsman,Mr. B. C. Kay. Our Itallroad has again undergone another change in schedule, which is now wabbling so, that by the time tbe travelling public gets tbe "hang" of one change, another Is mude, and again all isconfuslon.
