LOGAN, of Charleston, is not authorized to take advertisements for thia newspaper. i Wednesday, Aug. 1, 1894. Pleasant Week In Abbeville. Abbeville has seldom seen a more pleasant week than last week. Our people enjoyed the presence of tbe Teacbeis' Institute, composed of Dr. J. I. McCain, of Due West, Prof. Hugbes, of Greenville, Miss Chapman, of Newberry, and about fifty teachers. The institute lasted from Monday morning until ten o'clock Friday night, with three sessions each day. Tbe Abbeville District Bible Society held one of Its most Interesting annual meetings on Wednesday. A beautiful church wedding took place in the Baptist church on Wednesday night, when one of onr prettiest young ladies, Miss Fannie Wilson, was married to Mr. Wilder of tbe G., C. <fc N. Railway. Tbe installation of the Rev. J. J.Grieras pastor or the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, took place Wednesday night. Interesting games of *mse ball between An. derson and Abbeville were played in tbe pres noe of large crowds on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Tbe exercises at the Teachers' Institute were really valuable alike to tbe teachers and tbe citizens. Tbe teachers were there at every exercise and maby of tbe citizens attended eveij^day. .PMfessor McCain, of Due West, was President, and no man could have discharged tbe ' delicate duties more ably or more pleasantly than he did. His scholarly attainments, bis eminent ability, and bis pleasant conduct ol tbe Institute was apparent to all. His management was distinguished for a thorough , system, and observance of tbe programme, as announced. It was so arranged that nobody became tired. ' Tbe changes were so freq uen t that Instead of being tired, the hearers only regretted that tbe speakers had not more time. ProL Hughes is a wonderlul man. {Usability and bis varied acquirements and accomplishments captivated everybody. He has a well-stored mind, and possesses In a great dc' gree tbe art of talking in tbe most interesting and Instructive manner?no matter wbether speaking of figures, history, astronomy, muslo or any of tbe other divisions of in\ str notion. Miss Chapman possesses In a marked degree the art of interesting and teaching little children, and her object lessonB were profitable to all. This editor might report a political speech, but be wonld not attempt to give even uu outline of the different speeches which were delivered at tbe Institute. , Our people were delighted at having so many pretty and accomplished teachers In town, and all bope that they will come uext year, bringing with them all those teachers who were absent tbls year. Bten-Polltleal Judge. We have lately beard a great deal of nonsense on tbe subject of non-partisan Judges. Did any mortal man ever see any other kind of a Judge r As far as we cau remember, tbe Press and Banner has never seen any other, and Just now we are not looklngfor that nondescript or monstrosity commonly known as a "non-partisan Judge." If tbe history or the world has ever recorded the existence of such a spectacle as doth make a man a monster, we do not know t Ko font VI DUO HIV** Did any President ever appoint other than a political sympathiser to the office or Judge? Exoeptlng only the Tillman Legislature, did any legislative body ever elect to a Judgsblp y any man whose politics were opposed to the majority of the Assembly ? We think it would be vain to look for any ex. oeptlons to the rules laid down above. The Democratic Legislature not only did not elect Republican JudgeB, but turned all snob out before the expiration of their terms. It seems to qb that we talk of "non-partisan judges" when we want a man on the other side to decide with ub and against bis parly \ affiliation. Since 1876 has any man gotten the office of Judge, exoept as a reward for faithful service to the State and to the particular faolion with which he has acted. We think it would be presumption for any man to claim that be was chosen to the blgb office because of his superior ability irrespective of party nlolm. Nn man nan IuhLIv claim the office Of Judge upon merit only. He ordinarily doesn't rise so far above bis fellows tbat be uboald be chosen simply because of bis merit as a lawyer. Tbere are hundreds Just as good as those on tbe Bench. Most Have Stamp*. Hereaiter all packages of less than five pall Ions of whiskey, must bear tbe United States $ Internal Revenue Stamps. We haven't heard that lawless element are !' kicking against tbe ruling, and bave beard no threats of bloodshed because tbe offloers of the United States Government have so ruled, but we have beard, or seen, plenty of such twaddle or nonsense in reference to the State ? enforcing its own whlBkey laws. ' \ It seems that neither the extra nice people who do not want to obey a law which tbe 8tate enacts, nor the plain rule for outlaws of tbe common wealth, will at present attempt a bigger Job tnan tbat of defying the Slate laws. ' Let tbe State prove to tbe world whether outlaw* or tbe taw-offioers of tbe State are ' ? going to rule. Let the State prove whether liquor-selling foreigners and home raised outlaws aie to rule or whether tbe Leglslatuie are to make our laws. It is to be hoped tbat tbe dispensers in the different counties will avoid trouble as far a6 possible, and be not quick to use tbe power ol tbe State, where a conciliatory course may Induce offenders to obey tbe law, but wbere offenders persist in dlBobeylng the laws and defying tbe officers of tbe State, let there be no hesitancy in employing whatever force may be necessary. If tbe State would deserve and receive pub' lie respect, It must enforce its laws. Hold His Paper. Mr. W. W. Thomson has sold tbe Greenwood Advocate to a syndicate, who will henceforth publish the Greenwood Journal, and we publish bis notice of the transfer. It affords us pleasure to testify to Mr. Thomson's Journallstio courtesy to all tbe brethren and especially to the Press and Baoner. In all his career he has proven himself ever honorable and an agreeable competitor, who f has neither publicly or privately sought to lnJnre any of his brethren. We shall gladly welcome Mr. Thomson again into me journansuo neia, wueuever hid interest or bis inclination may tempt blm that way. Dou't Forget. The Presa and Banner charges regular advertising rates lor all communications which are for the advancement of the interests of Individual candidates. Attacks upon candidates will not be published at alL tf For all kinds of smoking tobacco, call on P. B Speed. ? , I Rot, Pare and Simple. We see in the papers some expressions of doabt as to the expediency of Governor Tillman's opening tbe dispensaries on the first of Angast.and in some instances wlseaores,without being able to give a sensible reason, have held up their hands In holly horror at the Idea of opening them before the meeting of the Legislature. If such people will reoollect that the State is paying rent for sixty store rooms, and pay' ing sixty dispensers to watch their Btock; and bear In mind that the oourt has to pass on the legality of the aot, tbey will find how absurdly foolish, if not criminal, it would be on the part of tbe Governor to postpone the opening for a single day. Let the courts settle the question finally and forever, and if they can find pretext, law or reason for over-rldlng tbe will of the people, let that august body say so at tbe earliest moment possible, and stop tbe enormous expense as soon as may be. The Governor did rlgbt to make effort to settle tbe matter at once, and save tbe people from bankruntcy on tbe one band, or to enforce tbe law on tbe otber. We Interpret tbe present feeble opposition, and unexpected converts to tbe license ele. ment, as due to something else than a desire to promote temperance and sobriety lu the State. New County Question*. If Greenwood la going to make a bona flde or binding offer to bulid tbe Court House, Jail, Poor House, etc., for the proposed new county, won't they please give the people a sample copy of the bill or law under wblcb they propose to enter into the agreement with tbe people ? How far Is It lawful to use money with which to Induce the people to sign papers or to influence the acts of tbe Legislature ? Is tbe proposition for a town to give tbe people public buildings as an inducement to sign tbe petition for a new county in strict oonformity to tbe legal and moral code? Is not tbe proposition of Greenwood to build tbeCourt House an actual aoknowledge ment that the country people do not want the new county, but are possibly influenced to sign tbe petition because of a promise to give them a court bouse, Jail, poor bouse, etc., free Of OOBt? Can a town legally Issue bonds to build a Jail and court bouse? These are practical questions wblcb must sooner or later be settled In a practical way, and it is well to have a full and free confer enoe on these matters. Turned Him Out. At the annual meeting of the Alliance in Aiken, Larry Gantt, editor of the Piedmont Headlight, was expelled from the order because he failed even to attempt to prove the charge of extoratlon which he made againnt the management of the State exobaage, at whose head was D. P. Duncan. We know nothing at all about the Alliance Exchange or its management, and care nothing about It, but we don't see bow the Alii, ance could have done otherwise than to turn out Gantt and sustain Duncan. If tbe Alliance bad not repudiated Gantt's charges, and bad failed to sustain Duncan, the Alliance would have virtually acknowledge that tbe order was not blameless. The Alliance could not have afforded to h ave done otherwise than It did. Gantt may or may not have deserved all that be got, but irrespective of the truth or falBlty of his charges, it seems to us it was necessary to preserve tne integrity auu gouu name of the Alliance. Always at tbe Bible Society. Judge Cothran always makes an effort to be present at the annual meeting of the Abbeville District Society. This time he re malned at home In Abbeville, and away from his office in Greenville, for two or three days In order to be present. At this meeting be read a beautiful and deserved memorial to his life-long friend, tbe Rev. Henry Thompson Sloan, D. !>., who bad been a director In tbe Society since 1851. It seems to us that the society should have placed tbe tribute on public record, but tbe Society decided otherwise, and as a consequence, but little recognition of tbe long and faithful service of this distinguished member has been made. The same may also be said of Charles Evans. ? ???ii In tleir-Defeniie?Shot In tbe Buck. The usual killing of negroes in self-defense seems to be going on. The crops are about laid by, and this is about tbe right season. We would be much obliged to the newspapers and coroners If they would stale If tbe negroes are shot In the place which makes the killing orthodox and Justifiable. As a rule, we believe, negroes are generally shot In the back In caBes of purely self-defense. > * AhUh to be Excused. Because of the protracted serious Mine's of Mrs, Lyon, Judge Lyon cannot be absent hlra self from her bedside long enough to make tbe canvass of tbe oouoty. That old and efficient officer, who has presided over the Probate Court for nearly eighteen years, needs no commendation from us. Returned. Judge Benet baa returned to bis old borne after staying quite a while la Charleston. The Judge has many friends in both Charleston and Abbeville. His conduct as Judge of the first circuit has given great satisfaction, and he Is gaining quite a reputation us a good Judge. THE DISPENSARY, To be Opened To-Day?W. A. Calvert, the Probable OlNpeuser. The county board of control will meet today to appoint a dispenser for iLls county, and It Is thought that Mr. W. A. Calvert will receive the appointment. Since the dispensary was closed, the dispenser has beeen receiving pay for guarding and taking care of the stock. The dispenser, Mr. R. E. Hill, In accord with his announced determination at the outset, will not apply for re-appolntment. His commission expired on the first of July, but he has been holding over, taking care of the stock, which amounts to a little over one thousand dollars, until blssuooessor could be appointed. We have no doubt, either to the wisdom or the popularity of the proclamation of the Governor in opening the dispensaries today, and we have no doubt as to the legality or constitutionality of the Act of 1693, except possibly the section which Inflicts heavy pen any Oil lUtJ murmius 1UI ouifisiuB 1 njuui lu iudividual citizens without the stamps. There Is difference of opinion on this sectlou, and It It Is barely possible that the law may he amended In this particular, bo as not to conflict with tba interstate commerce law. There can be no doubt that the law Is promotive of public sobriety and morality, and there can be no doubt thai the lawless element, who may be disposed to defy the Law, will feel the force of the law, and be made to yield due obedience sooner or later. One thing Is certain, and that la, somebody must rule. It wiil be remembered that our town council, when the dispensary was abolished, acted wisely in {granting "indulgences" to those who desired to sell whiskey while the dlspeusaries were closed. Last night between the hours of eight and < nine o'clock, we sought the bar men with the following result: I Mr. T. L. Douglass said that be would olose | his door at nine o'clock, and quit the business. He bad but very little stoolc on hand, i and was then in the act of "setting up the hnt? " to clone out the remainder of his stock, i Mr. J. C. Cox's place of business wus then ] sought. He was not in, being on sick bed. I Wben we called on him at his room, he was < ! asleep, and did not see him. We learn, however, that be will make no effort to continue, i Wetben went to Mr McWborter's place of j business, and found It closed. We were told < that he bad boxed up his goods and left town i the day before. The enmity for the dispensary which existed a year ago has died out, 11 not entirely, to a very great extent. As far as we heard, not a bottle or a jug was filled, preparatory to the change, though it Is possible a little may have been laid away for snake bites. , Do you like a nice highly perfumed soap If you do try tube rose for sale by Speed. . - " " 7,. .

A splendid essay was read byMissSelmi Wright of Crayton. Subject?Influence. Sunday school addresses were made Sunday mornli.g by Dr. John A. Robinson and Mr W. ti. Collins. An address was also made by Rev. T. H Garrett, who took for his text, "the Snares o the Devil." He said in substance, we are cor rupt by nature. We learn early to practlct deception. We may tell a falsehood by re malnlng silent when we should speak. W< can intentionally make a wrong impression by telling only a portion of the truth. One o the great evils of the day is to get property without earning it. There are various trapi set to catch the unsuspecting young. Even older persons who ought to know belter will bite at advertisements proposing to give s great deal for a very little. Everybody ought to know better than to be taken In by such advertisements, as men are not so liberal as to give more than value received. Among the traps set to catch tbe yong are belting on elections, horse racing, bucket shops and many other evils. Bad literature catches and entangles the young. I Imagined 1 heard someone say yesterday the Baptist Courier is too high. Ills far better to pay two dollars for a good paper tbat will help to build up the moral tone of ibe youth of ihe land than It Is to pay Qlty ceute for trasjiy literature which will exert a bad iptyueuce over our homos. Some of our leading papers contain continued stories of courtships and hair-breadth escapes, which will by degrees lead qur boys and girls away Jroui that which is pure aud noble. Parents should ever guard the virtue ol their boys and girls. Parents are largely responsible for thecou Juct or their children. They net bad examples and llielr children imitate them.
