, Ivi 4 &dsss : The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, B.C. Published every Wednesday at f2! a year in advance. Mr. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, Is not authorized to take advertisements for this newspaper. Wednesday, July 18, 1894. Charleston and Tillman. It seems to be a pity that the Governor Is not on good terms with the people or ttie metropolitan city of the State. When Tillman spoke to the Cbarlestonlans last week, he unnecessarily revived the hostilities, and they in turn showed him bow becomingly city gentlemen could treat their Chief Executive. Instead of being silent/on the dispensary law, as be should have bean, or if it.must be mentioned, begging pardon for having as Govern, or desired to interfere with the first class gentlemen of that city who trampled the law under foot and defied legal authority as well as the power of the constables, the Governor simply said he would yet force it down their throats. Now, that was not polite. He ought to have said "with your permission, we will enforce the law." City people who are above the law ought to be talked to very politely. For the leader of the country politicians, who Charleston bas so long delighted to hon? or as "Three-for-a-quarter Statesmen," to speak as he did in their refined ears must have been galling to the last extent. It. at least furnished ample excuse for the insults and epithets which were heaped at the devoted head of the Governor. It seems that Tillman won't learn to be polite to those Charleston gentlemen, who despise him. It also seems that they are equal, ly determined to disregard the whiBkey laws of tbe State. He ought to know by this time that elegant, cultivated, and refined gentlemen do not like to be governed by such countrymen as he Is. xne iaci is, ine ie&aer o; me "i uree-iur uquarter Statesmen" is too rough on people who do |not like blm, or cannot learn to love his amiable ways. The Governor has so Car disregarded the wishes of the good people of Charleston, that we..would not be at alt surprised if they should give expression of their feelings by voting for Senator Butler. The lmpndenoe of Tillman in assuming that he could be Governor of the city of Charleston Is amuBlng. Charleston never wanted him to be Governor?never nominated blm?never voted for blm, and the most that beoould have reasonably aspired to do was to govern for the "Three-lor-a-q uarter Statesmen" from the oountry. If Tillman and Evans don't mind what they are about Abbeville and Charleston will Join teams and bring out good men who will beat them both out of their boots. The State Campaign. . The State campaign has now been going on for several weekB, but as yet tbere has been developed no perceptible interest in it. The candidates now and then have had some little personal tilts, when each tried to vex bis adversary or annoy his competitor to the fullest extent. The people look on?If not with disgustcertainly without interest at some of the un ocvuiijr guvuriouucb nutuu uavo wncu piauc between the gentlemen who seek the highest political honors which we can give. Governor Tillman and the Charleston mob had a glorious time. He said offensive things to them, and they said insulting things to him. r Senator John Gary Evans was roughly handled, metaphorically speaking. They said Insulting things to bim.and be in turn said the bitterest things to biB assailants. Senator Butler got an inning, and received perhaps a more enthusiastic reception than had been aooorded blm at any other point* This enthusiasm for Butler was possibly more because of hatred to Tillman than love for Butler. So liar as we can learn, the public sentiment has not been changed because of the speeches. The candidates seem to hold their own with the people, without making Inroads in the ranks of their opponents. The Xew County. The canvass on the new county question Is going on. As candidates for the Legislature appear before the people they should demand full and explicit expression on the Question that affects the vitals of Abbeville County. Throe who desire to dismember the old oounty want to know who are with tbem, and those who are standing for the old county now and forever, should know who their friends are. The people should not allow any fence ridIpg or dodging, on a question that is so important to us all. Those who are not with us are against us, no matter which side we are on, and neither aide should allow any one to dodge the issue. . The voter has a right to know the views ol v every candidate, and no namby-pamby, Mr. Facing Both ways, should receive our votes, Speak out, gentlemen, and don't receive our votes under any misapprehension. Collapsed. . The great strike which had its centre and aggravating cause'at Pullman and Chicago, baa yielded to lawful authority, without havlng gained anything. The strikers even fkiled to secure a conference with Pullman, or * his representative. Several persons were killed and from one to two million dollars worth of property was destroyed. For a time it seemed that the railroad Interests of the country were*at their mercy. But the President sent troops to the scene of the trouble. He ordered insurgents and their sympathisers to disperse, and peaoe has been restored. All trains are now run. nine. The rioters are being arrested, and brought into court to answer for their crimes. They should be treated as other incendiaries are treated. We Aicree. Weagieewith what our Greenwood correspondent says of tbe charges of corruption on tbe part of Tillman In the management of tbe dispensary. We presume nobody believes any sucb talk, and to indulge In suob utterances is so maoh time wasted. People may despise tbe law, and tbey may bale Tillman, but tbey love Justice and fair play. Don't Forget. Tb9 Press and Banner charges regular advertising rates for all communications wblcb are for tbe advancement of tbe Interests of Individual candidates. Attacks upon candidates will not be published at alL tf We learn that about one-third of tbe voters and property bolders In tbe Abbeville part of tbe proposed new county have signed the .petition against the new oounty. ^ Somebody set agoing a report tbat Abbeville would give thousands of dollars to aid tbe proposed new county at Honea Path. The people may have no fears on tbat score. Abbeville Is dead against tbe Honea Path Court House. , ? CORONER'S JORY. They Inquire Into Ihe Cause of tlie I>enlh of P. E. Kowell. B. F. McKeller. being duly sworn, says: That on the 3rd day of May, 1S!M, ] was sitting in from of Arnold's beef market, and I noticed P. E. Rowell walking up and clown the street in front of the post office lo Greenwood. S. C. I noticed he seemed to be excited and having heard before of Borne difficulty or misunderstanding between Thompson and Rowell, I expected they would have a difficulty. Mr. Kowell walked at one time as lar up the street as Mr. Thompson's office and came back to post office. I rhw Frank McGhee go up into Thompson's office and come back and have a conversation with Kowell. That was before Rowell went up street; he then went toward his office and came back to post office. Mr. Rowell then went up as far as Allen's store and was talking to Allen when Thompson came down from his office. Mr. Rowell was looking In the direction of Thomson's office, and as soon as he saw Thomson he started toward him and met him in front of City Bank; be walked right close up to him and some words were exchanged, but I did not understand them. Rowell caught Thomson back of his head with bis left hand and struck him a serious blow on bis temple with his right hand, then Thomson staggered back or stepped back and Rowell raised both his hands just as he had before as if to strike. I do not know whether be struck the second time or not, and then the shot was fired. Thomson then called myself and others and showed us the bruise on his left temple. B. F. McKellar. Charles Lynch, being duly sworn, says: That on the 3rd day of May, 1894. Just before the shooting of P. E. Rowell by W. W. Thomson my attention was attracted to Mr. Rowell by bis frequent passing my shop, which was right on the mafu street; he passed up and down some three or four times and attracted my attention. My shop adjoined the post office. his Chaa. X Lynch, mark "Greenwood's Pledge.'' It haB been said by men learned In the law that the "pledge" ol tbe Greenwood gentlemen to furnish and pay for the sites, buildings, etc., necessaay for the new county, Is not worth anything as a legal paper?that it has no legal binding force. No specific promises are made. No particular grounds are pledged ?no specified sum of money is promised?no definite and specifio size, quality or suitableness of bulldine9 or grounds is named. Tbe pledge or promise Is made to nobody, and there Is no seoond party to It. There la no limitation as to time, and time Is tbe essence of all contracts. The pledge or promise is made without "consideration" or "value received," and all the lawyers in the universe couldn't recover a dollar on It. Nobody Is au thorized to enforce it, even if It were other, wise a binding obligation. The signers of the paper do not even promise to pay anything, or to do anything more than to see ttiat Greenwood does so and so. Now, did these gentlemen, speak from authority of thetown^ or did they act voluntarily, and without due and legal authority from tbe town of Green, wood ? U. S. LIBRARIAN, One of Abbeville'* Young Men In Charge of the Bouks of the Nenate. Mr. J. M. Baker <Tf this county was appointed assistant librarian of tbe United states .Senate about a year ago. and bis efficiency and attentiveness has made a most enviable reputation among tbe Senators. He receives a good salary, and lives in handsome style, With his wife and little children, who have recently joined him in tbe Capital. Enjoying good health, being full of energy, and at peace with all mankind, it affordB a citizen of Abbeville great pleasure to meet him. In corroboration of tbe good things which we would say of him we extract the following words from a private letter which we received from Washington not long ago: Personally, Mr. J. M. Buker is one of tbe most popular officers of tbe Senate, and by bis courteous manner and polite attention bas won tbe esteem and respect ol all those with whom he has any dealing. Although be bas been here only about a year, as Assists ant Librarian of tbe Senate, he has recently been made acting Llbrariau during tbe remainder of the session on account of the absence of the Librarian by sickness. His conduct of the office has been complimented by the officers of tbe Senate, and he is always at bis post. He takes especial pleasure in meeting the people from bis State and County, and showing the sights of the Capitol, and no one here knows them better than be does. He keeps company and goes with the very best people here. IN A FINE POSITION. Mr. W. O. Bradley Handsomely Pro* vlded for In Washington. Mr. W. O. Bradley of Abberllle has a most pleasant place sb chief of one of the divisions In the Treasury Department at Washington, and. In the last year be has become thoroughly acquainted with the delicate and important duties devolving upon him. His natural mathematical and Judicial ability finds th ework congenial, and he makes one of the most efficient officers In the service of the Government. While Mr. Bradley makes do great eflort at ostentation, yet be lives in a beautiful new house In which he has more comforts and more luxuries than any man in Abbeville has In bis honse. He and Mrs. Bradley have forgotten none of their religious and economic training. On Sunday they worship regularly, as has been their custom, and every day they live In home-like comfort and happiness, preserving the purity of their children from the contamination or the outside world. As the months roll round, he adds something to his bank account. In case be should ever retnrn to Abbeville, which we doubt, he will have something elss than experience to bring back home with him. He likes Washington so well, that he will likely make that city bis future home and abiding place. Abbeville has many representatives In Washington, but none of tbem are doing better or making more progress than Mr. W. O. Bradley. - ? OUGHT TO BE FIKED. Ko Time or Room for Malconteuta and Growlers. Ever since the Railroad shops have been located Id Abbeville, reports have been circulated to the effect that the shops were to be removed from our midst. While we have repeatedly learned from information direct from headquasters, that there Is not a word of truth in aDy such assertion, yet these reports have been more or less annoying to some of our citizens and has had the effect of deterring our people from building houses and otherwise talcing steps for the upbuilding of the town. To this extent these false and malicious reports have Injured the town and worked a hardship on railroad people who wish to rent houses, and for whom they would be built under other circumstances. It has been suggested that a formal petition be signed asking the railroad manages toremove from our midst all those who are enemies to the town and who are working mischief to their lellows. If Mr. Winder will dlsmlsB such people from his employ be will do an act of Justice to a town which has ever been friendly to his road. Abbeville desires to increase in growth and population, but we want no ene mies within our gates. We can spare all who are unfriendly, or who think they do ueiter elsewhere. It would be gratifying to our people, if we could have an expression on tbts subject from Mr. Winder, STEPS UP HIGHER. Train man tor S. O Dlckertion Given a Higher Position?He 1m Now Superintendent of TranMportHtlou. Mr. S. G. Dickerson baa been appointed Superintendent of Transportaton of the Southern Division of tbe Seaboard Air Line Kailroad, with headquarters at Abbeville. Tbe position of Trainmaster bas been abolished, and tbe Superintendent will bave full control of tbe transportation department of tbe Southern Division. Tbe promotion of Mr. Dickerson is a deserved recognition of bis wortb and ability as a railroad man, and bis elevation to tbe higher office should be an inspiration for ambitious young men. Mr. Dickerson started at tbe bottom and has worked bis way up to nls present high and responsible position. Although be is yet a young man he bas reacbed a position which is very near to tbe bead ol tbe whole. Tbere are not tnany places between him and tbe top. Mr. Dickerson ia very popular with tbe people of Abbeville, and no one bas dune more than be bas for tbe people, who rejoice at hiB promotion in railroad circles. Tbe part that is best for us, however, 1b the fact that bis office will be in Abbeville, where be will give oonstant employment to quite a number ofefficientaud high salaried officials, and be ready at any time to serve this people with tbe best accommodations that a firstclass road can give. THE TRAIN TO TAKE, ? Tbe Seaboard's Splendid VeNtlbule Cam are all That You Could Wlnh. If you are going North the Seaboard Air Line offers great inducements in tbe way oI reduced time, splendid cars, fast schedule, and polite conductors. We speak from experience. We were recently in Norfolk, aud from that poiut went up the river ou boat to Washington. This route look a day longer than tbe direct route by rail, but we desired to see tbe old town and to travel a little on tbe water. We had a delightful trip, without accident or delay, and those of our friends wbodesire to see the historic old town of Norfolk, Fortress Monroe, and other places of interest in that neighborhood will find this a nice trip. If you want to shoot across two or three States in short order, take the Seaboard vestibule. HAPPY PAIR. Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Jones In the City of Washington.

As they approached each other I saw there was words passed between them of an unpleasant nature, though I could not say what the words were.

As soon as they met Thomson said, you God damn, could not bear any more that be said. Tbe deceased replied by saying. Now, look here, and commenced raising both bands and attempting to strike with bis right. Thomson about same time raised ills right hand, taking It from hiscoat pocket. I thought deceased was trying at same time to strike him with bis right band. Saw Thomson put tbe pistol against chest of deceased once or twice. When the pistol fired deceased turned.

My back was towards the parties. Saw nothing of (he difficulty. Deceased came to me after be was shot and I sent to Dr, Neel, my partner, to bring me some Instruments.

The ball weut in near the edge or the biceps muscle and cut both artery and vein and aid sotae Injury to the nerve and lymphatic vessels. The wound was the primary cause of death.

Deceased preferred to delay and wait and as we were not positive It would give relief we gave him further time. Afterwards deceased improved until last Saturday week when he began to grow worse and continued to grow worse until be died at 7.30 o'clock a. m. today. On the Thursday before death I told deceased that the arm must be out Into. He replied that he preferred the presence of his fatherin-law. I at once wrote to him and telegraphed him to come at onoe.

She had long been a sufferer from rheumatism. Several weeks ago she was taken to the hospital in the hope that under special treatment she might recover. The hopes of family and friends have been been sadly disappointed. Two of her brothers were with her In the last hours : her only sister, Mrs. Devlin, reached the hospital a few hours after her death. Go Monday her body was brought to Due West, and, aller appropriate fuueral services, conducted by the pastor, was laid away in our village cemetery. MIsb Galloway was a daughter of Rev. Jonathan Galloway and an elder sister of Mrs. Mary Giffen. Her life was an illustration ol the Christian graces. Through the furnace of affliction and pain she was ripened for her change. Purified of earthly droBS she was meet for the blessed rest that remains for the people of God. It Is noteworthy fHct that not one of the older children of this family died at home. Calvin died on the battlefield, Mary died far away in Egypt, and now Louisa died In Columbia. May the aged and stricken mother oe sustained aud comiorieu iu me miasi 01 her sorrows. R. S. G.
