The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE S.C. ^ -Published every Wednesday at |2 a year in advance. Mr. R03WELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, is not authorized to take advertisements for this newspaper. Wednesday, Sept. 5, 1894. No Harm. The Register publishes an article, which we reproduce Id this Issue, Id reference to an alleged conference of Butler men Id Columbia. The Register is uneasy about the possible outcome of that meeting and seems to fear * the putting of another ticket In the field for the State offloere. According to our way of thlnkiDg there . need be no fear or anxiety on the part of anybody?because of any action that Butler's friends or perhaps, more correctly speaking? Tillman'6 enemies may take. No movement which has not the sympathy of the great mass of the people can succeed. No movement which 1b developed In secret with closed doors, Is likely to fire the publlo heart. Bat If auch a thing were possible fifty-eight thousand people took part In lbs recent primary, and?even If they had not taken an oath to support the present nom Ineea?they are In honor bound to abide the result. With fifty-eight thousand voters standing to the nominees, It will be Idle to put a bolters' ticket In the field, and we believe that Senator Butler and his iriends have too much sense to undertake any such a scheme. As far as we know, no one In Abbeville ca.'es one cent about the threatened bolt and , we do not believe that any considerable number of our people oould be Induced to support "" in<??n?nH#nttink((L The annoucement of Senator Butler's withdrawal or bis pledge created not the slightest sensation or surprise here. Aa far as we are informed, oar people care nothing at all about the prospective or contemplated bolt, bnt If the withdrawal of a few maloontenta will bring peaoe, we say, let them wltdraw, and form a little association of their own where they can forever afterward cease to annoy the people. iV Eduewtional.

The Senatorial raoe having excited some Interest at home and abroad It may not be am 1m to give some facts in reference to the snooesstul candidate, who Is to represent Abbeville county lor the next four years Id the Bute Senate. Captain Isaac H. McCalla was boru In the fifties, and is now about forty years of age, with a sound mind In asoand body. He oomet of mod stock, being a son of Capt. George R. McCalla, of Lowndesvllle. who was well known as one of the moat public spirited and patriotic men In his day and time? his great wealth fnrnishing ample opportunity for deeds of kindness. But the war swept bis fine estate away, and his children started in business life with nothing to their credit, exoept good health, good character, a noble heritage from a worthy father. In 1877, when he bad no estate, he married Mlu Raimond Speed, a sister of our esteemed fellow-townsman, Mr. P. B. Speed. With high hope, and a nobleness of purpose, they sei out for ' lie battle of life, and their success has been Interior to that of no couple in Abbeville county. They are both natives of the ooanty, and they have lived here all tbelr lives. His election to the Senate, over as popular a citizen as Senator Hempnm, no less man the vote at bis own box?Lowndesvllle?attest bis popularity and bis real worth an a man. . He has always lived In the community hn wbiob be was born, and blB neighbors respect bla lodgment and often seek bis council. Although be ha* been thoroughly Identified with the Reform Movement from Its Inception be bas never before sought office of honor or profit, though be bas often been called upon to take an active part in politics. His zeal for the old county Is evinced in tbe fact that be paid bis own expenses to go to Columbia in tbe interests of old Abbeville, and be may be relied upon to represent ably, fearlessly, and conscientiously the best Interests of all the people. Now, to go back to the beginning of bis career as a farmer. When be Tea bis father's borne, be bought a small tract of land on credit. After earning tbe money, and paying for it be began adding to bis estate, nntll now, if not the largest, be 1b certainly one of tbe largest landowners In Abbeville county. He owns several plantations aggregating perhaps four thousand acres. He owns fine pasture lands, and bis stock and cattle gather grass for blm from many an acre. He always bas bacon, corn and other farm produoe to sell every year, and his bank account Is good. His life and success, go to disprove any allegation that there is no profit in farming. Beginning less than twenty years ago with noming ana annongn ne ana given wnu a generous band be Is now one of the richest men In tbe county, and bis private life and character is without stain or reproach. OUR NEW RAILROAD. Electric Light* and Water Works Coming*. What Is Abbeville doing wltb reference to ber new railroad to Pelzer and Piedmont? This question Is being asked In various sections of tbe country. Tbe writer has recently visited several places In tbe upper part oi the State, and be was constantly asked wltb reference to tbe suocess of this movement. It will be a great thing for Abbeville and we must have it. It will attract to our place, draw trade, and bring us new citizens. We must be untiring In our efforts to get this road. Tbls is Abbeville's golden fcpportunlty. We already have two flne railroads but we need a new line. With a little effort we caD have anotber new line to Edgefield and make Abbeville a railroad center. We will soon have water works and electric lights. A charter has already been applied lor. Messrs. J. Allen Smith, P. Rosenburg, J. C. Klngh and other leading and progressive ? citizens are at the bead of tnls enterprise and will make a suocess of it. Water works and electric 'lights are assured for Abbeville In tbe near future. But we must not forget our railroad. If we are not active in its behalf, tbe opportunity will slip aDd tbe road go in a different direction. Walter L. Miller. THE SHOET TICKETS. No Blaine to Attach to any Candidate for their Existence.

We were glad to have our brother Christians come Into our midst and be In our homes. Though the weather was very unsettled there was a good delegation from different parts of the county. About forty delegates were enrolled. The program as had been prepared by the Executive Committee was DDI WUUIljr U1IIICU uut, ao suuis v; those persons wbo bad parts assigned them were not present. However, the exercises were lull of Interest and many or the subjects were discussed at length and we feel wltb profit to all. Mr. W. A.

Letter From Mr. Xoore. Greenwood, S. C.,Sept. 1,1894. As there has been so much said about a letter I wrote to Mr. I. H. McCal.'a on the loth August I take this method of putting; myseli straight before the people of our county. The most of you have read or beard It read. You see really there was nothing In the letter. I said I believed there was a slate in favor 01 certain candidates, and against others. The election has proven the truth of that. Mow there is another side to this letter busInuess of far more importance to the people of Abbeville county than simply what was written In that letter. And it Is this, how came this letter to be dropped on the su-eels of Abbeville ? The teller was maneu ai i Greenwood, went through the mall to Lowndeevllle, and delivered to some one who called for Mr. McCalla's mail. I have not the least doubt of that. Mr. McCalla swears he never received it, and no one seemB to doubt that Then how came It upon tbe streets of Abbeville? Something rotten, not lh Denmark, but In Abbeville. Two years ago there was published In the Press and Banuer a list of numes of men from various parts of tbe county, claiming to be opposed to tbe new county. On Investigation we found that tbe names of E. M. Lipscomb, Jas. Kogers, MaJ. Foucbe, Dr. Mosley, W. A. Lomax, and many others we know, for we have letters from them. Their names were put to that paper without their knowledge or consent. Now bcfoie the war thai was called forgery. Who did that? Now, we allowed that to paB8 by without exposing anyone, and what do we see done in this campaign. Men's private leilers being taken and dropped upon the streets oi Abbeville, where certain men could pick them up and use for their political advancement. I am sure there is not an honorable man in Abbeville county who will approve Qf any such dirty work, as tbe cases I baVe mentioned, Now, I want it understood, I am only referring to tbe politicians of Abbevilie.not to ber merchants, mechanics or her business men In general, or to ber flrBt^lass lawyers?they are not surpassed by any town in the Slate? I reier to tbe Court House ring, and the people oi the county know who they are. I voted 1 "11 T Hofoot Hanaro! PTamn. ! auu U1U Oil A WUiU W v?v*v?v MVUVIMI MVMf bill la an honorable way. He never let an opportunity pans to .abuse and ridicule the people of Greenwood, and we gave him in return Just as few votes as we oonld. It was the Abbeville ring we shot at, and we have tbe consolation of seeing (after the smoke has cleared away) tbe General dead, and tbe first and second lieutenants, Gary aod Magill, badly wounded; that Is, tailing tbe ticket. Those three were tbe most bitter on us, and It is some consolation to see them march at tbe tall end of tbe column. Had we thought that Mr. McCalla ever ercelved that letter, and tbeu been a party to tbe dropping of It on tbe streets, not one honest vote would be have gotten at this box. We want a new county but not at the price of putting men's names to petitions they never saw, and dropping letters upon the street, no never. Now, Mr. Editor,.in conclusion let me say. Greenwood will stand by tbe ticket: we went into tbe primary to stick. No Independent for us, In county or State, We are for Evans for Governor, down to Coroner, Including Gary and Maglll, and had General Hemphill got In, we wauld bave held our nose and swallowed him. We are for white supremacy, and will stay In the minority for sometime yet, before we will take any negro In ours; but we do ask that our campaigns be conducted upon a higher plain In the future, and every wan pass for bis real worth, and not because be Is upon the slate. Respectfully, L. M. Moore. TO PREVENT CRUELTY. Au OricanizHtluu Should be Formed.

The result le known to the j world. The candidates for Senatorial honors were equally pronounced In their allegiance to the Reform movement, and both were pledged j against the new county movement, and thus, on the surface, In so far as politics were conj cerned, there was practically no difference ! between the candidates. The whole question, therefore, as to the I election or deleal of eitheir was their personj al popularity or unpopularity. barring unintentional errors and omissions ! the following is believed to be a correct stateI ment: We have not the vole of each sepa| rate box In the election of 1876, but at that I time the county was a unit in its tight against j Republican rule, and we presume that GreenI wood may have given a full vote for General | Hemphill In that contest, but we have the figures at each box at every recurring election since 1876. Senator Hemphill has had a remarkable career in public life, and as we think there has been a common misapprehension of the facts which led up to his defeat Id the race for re-election to the Senate, we have thought proper to review the recent past in connection with a recital of some facts in his history from 1876 up to this time. By examining our dies it la seen that he was one of the chosen leaders of those who declared for white supremacy in the camj palgn of 1876, and in the first primary election that was ever held in Abbeville county, he received 1,465 votes out oi a total of about two thousand, being second only to Hon. W. K. Bradley, who headed the ticket with a vote oi 1,496. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the people in that memorable contest, and the sentiments and feelings of the people of that day and time, General Heinpblll received about ihree-fourths of the Democratic votes of the county?1465. The same year, 1870, Dr. J. C. Maxwell was elected Senator to fill out two years of the unexpired term of Hon. Jerry Holiinshead, ibe Republican Senator recently deceased. 'l*he vote stood as lollows: Dr. J. C. Maxwell 1,764 Rev. J. N. Young 204 Scattering 8 |M 1 Ota l luiai yuiD m i,viu Id 1880, Senator Maxwell was re-elected without opposition, and later on Rev. J. M. Young was elected to the House of Representatives at the bead of the ticket. In 1878 General Heuiphlll stood for re-election to a seat In the House of Representatives, and his course was then fully endorsed by the people. Although I there were nine candidates running for Uie House, out of a total of 271G votes, he received 1779, on the first ballot, being only 57 votes bebind Hon. W. K. Bradley, who, for the second Hue, beaded the ticket?this time by 1886 votes?being 57 more votes than General Hemphill received. At this election Greenwood gave General Hemphill 83 votes. In 1880 General Hemphill took no leading part In politics, aud devoted his energies to tbe publication of his newspaper. In 1882 he made tbe race for Senator against Hon. J. C. Maxwell, of Greenwood, who bad so ably aud so acceptably represented thlB county in tbe State Senate since 1870. The race was one of the most exciting In the history of the county, aud the adherents of each were in a measure Intolerant towards thoee wbo differed from them. In that race Senator Maxwell gained the victory by a majority of 170 votes. That year Greenwood gave General Hemphill 17 votes. In 1884 General Hemphill became a candidate for the House of Representatives. The old feeling of opposition to blm was still strong in some quarters, and the determination in others to support blm was not ie?b pronounced*. Although there were eleven candidates In the held be received on tbe tlrst ballot 1778 votes out of a total vote of 2887. Hon. J. E. Bradley was elected this time at the bead of the ticket with 1909 votes, General Hemphill being second in the race. This year when it a was free-for-all contest without local Interests becoming Involved Greenwood gave General Hempblll Mi votes. In 1880 Senator Hemphill again became a candidate for the Senate. In that race tbe election was conceded to blm, and he bad a ~ Wttln. UVOI , auu nan eievmu n.iuuM. wrr.r sition. Greenwood gave him that year only 173 votes, when there was no opponent In the Held, being by far the largest vote, ever cast lor him at that place. In 1890 General Hemphill and Hon. C. A. C. Waller, of Greenwood, entered the race lor the Senate. Altera campaign of no notable event or exciting circumstance, General Hempblll received 1,450 votes, and Hon. C. A. C. Waller received 1,814 votes. This year Greenwood gave General Hemphill 48 votes, i Id the election last week Senator Hempblll received 12S1, and Col. MtCalla received I32J? the majority In favor ol Col. McCalla belug42 voles. At this elecilon General Hemphill received 35 votes at Greenwood. : When considered with his lormer vole It ! seems that General Hemphill had not suffered very materially because of his simple opposition to the new county. We have reviewed the past with a view to ascertaining the cause of the recent vote by which be was defeated by 42 majority. According to our way of thinning the new county question had little or nothing to do wlib General Hemphill's defeat. TheAnllB : held the balance of power and cast itforCapt. McCalla. Greenwood has never given Senator Hempblll a big vote. Even when be bad no opposition at all he was not given a large vote. Wltb the history ol the past before us, and [ a knowledge of the unwritten and unrecorded feelings and sentiments of the people of Greenwood, It is quite likely tbat any other man against General Hempblll wooid have received as large, a vole at Greenwood as did Capt. McCalla, The Press and Banner is of tbe opinion that It was the Anus wno mruea va? uu? agamm | General Hemphill. Personally, we believe, lew persons dislike General Hemphill, yet the editorials which have appeared from time to time In his newspaper have been very distasteful and displeasing to his political opponents. This action on his part, we think, weakened General Hemphill's popular vote. While Col. McCalla is a thoroughly pronounced Reformer, Le must have received a large majority of the Antl vole. In 1892 tbe Tlllmanlte candidates did not seek or desire the Conservative vote. In one instance at least, when only two men were running for the same office, one of them Is reported to have said that "be did not want any Antl to vote for him.*' This year tbe sentiment was different, and the Antl vote was sought by the Reform candidates. Tbe Antl rankB were a fruufbi field in which to work, and gave them their opportunity to express their disapproval ol bis editorials. We think tblB fact is proved in that other fact, that all tbe avowed new county candidates (or tbe House of Representatives were defeated by considerable majorities. By reference to tho statistical table interesting facts may be worbed out as to the vote on tbe new county question. As might have been expected tbe defeat of General Hemphill has been the occasion for some outspoken gratification on the part ol those who were opposed to bim, and bis retirement irom the Senate bas furnished the occasion for some very unusual as well as some very ungracious editorial expressions from tbe brethren of tbe press. Heretofore it bas not been the custom to go intoadelirum and perform tbe war dance on such occasion*. But those who mey think that be Is dead and out of politics may yet have occasion in mvlsfi their opinions. Qeneral Hempblll la h scholar, has many of the gifts of the orator, ban perfect control of himself, and Is a wanly competitor, in the the newspaper business he has been a competitor of the Press and Banner for nearly a quarter of a century, and w? have found him in that relation honorable and fair in every respect. For interesting factB in reference to the beginning of General Hemphill's political career see article on our last page of this issue of the Press and Bunner. He was culled to the front In 1876 and has been a factor In Abbeville politics ever since. ?The income tax clause of the tariff' bill states that from aod after January 1, 1895, until January J, 1900, there shall be assessed, levied, collected aud paid, annually, a tax of 2 per cent, on the amount of income over $4,000, and that this tax shall be assessed by the commissioner of internal revenue and collected and paid upon the gains, and profits and income for the year ending December 31st, next preceding the time of levying, collecting and paying such tax. The law cannot go into effect until January 1, 1895, and no income tax will be paid until Decern* ber 31, 1895. This is the status of the tax, and it is in no sense retroactive.

If Texas were as densely populated as the State of Massachusetts, it would have a population greater than Fraucei and Great Britain combined, or about' 73,000,000. THE DISPENSABt LAW. IMPUDENT ASSERTION OF POWER. If Judges Would Busy Themselves in Con* sidering the Implied Limitations upon Their own Power, Instead of Hatching Implied Limitations upon the Power of Another Branch of the Government, they Would Present ;a more Decent Spectacle. American I,aw Review. An examination of the opinion of Chief Justice Mclver, of South Carolina, in the decision in which the Supreme Court ol that Stale overthrow the so-called "Dispensary Act,"* shows that a majority of the court place their conclusion that the statute under consideration is unconstitutional, partlj upon the ground that there are in every fret-1 Stale implied limitations upon the power ol the legislature. The decisions In the margin are cited by the learned chief Justice in support of the proposition that there are Implied limitations restraining State legislatures from Imposing taxes for other than public purpoBes.f The first of these cases is general!} cited as the leading case upon tbe doctrine,but we believe that it was first announced by Mr. United States Circuit Judge Dillon, aud that this case simply affirmed his decision. Notwithstanding the great names giving support to the doctrine, we utterly protest against it as a principle of constitutional law. In order to understand now utterly outui i>m?> It in necessary to do no more tban consider the theory upon which the power of the Judiciary to refuse to give effect to an act of the legislature can alone be supported. In the first place, attention is to be drawn to the fact that the power was never granted In any written constitution, Federal or State. It was seized by the Judges, and Its seizure was for a long time contested as an usurpation, and it is well remembered that an attempt was made in Pennsylvania to impeach the Judges of the Supreme Court of the State on this ground. The only ground on which the early Judges who first seized the power attempted to defend themselves against the charge ol usurpation ot legislative power?because it is an act ot legislative power lo repeal as well as to enact a statute?was that the constitution was the paramount law, designed to impose limitations upon all departments of the government and to protect the reserved rights 01 the people; that the Judges were sworn to support the constitution?not to support the acts of the legislature; that when they were requested to give effect to a statute which was challenged as being in conflict with the constitution. it became their duty to lay the constitution and the statute before tbern side bj side, and if there appeared to be a plain conflict, to give effect, according to the obligation of their uath, to the paramount law, and consequently to deny eflect to the act of the legislature which was inhibited by the paramount law, It was always conceded by the Judges that this was an extraordinary exertion of power on their part. They naturally felt that ihey assumed a position more or less unseemly in the public estimation?the position of one co-ordinate department of the government assuming the right to sit in Judgment upon the acts ot another co-ordinate department; and they consequently exercised the power under the Just feeling that nothing but a plain and undeniable conflict between the statute and the paramount law could |usMf? ihum in 1L Huch being the ground and the only ground,on which the American courts assumed tbe power u> set aside acts of tbe legislature?a power exercised by no other Judiciary In the world?no room waB left for the exercise of tbe power on mere casuistrlo or doctrinal grounds. Mo room was left to exercise it merely because acts of the legislature come in conflict with tbe theories entertained by tbe Judges upon economic questions, as they have so often exercised it in settlug aside legislation prohibit Ing tbe so-called "truck store system'' of mining and manuiacturing companies. No room ?absolutely no room?was left to exercise it on any sncb conception as tbal tbere are Implied limitations upon legislative power not found in tbe written constitution, but found somewhere else, in tbe breast or the Judge or In bis unwritten constitution containing t>uob Implied limitations. No power, express or Implied, has ever been granted to bim to invade tbe functions of a coordinate department of tbe government?a department directly resDonslble to tbe people?and to overturn its acts on this on the power of tbe legislature: but these limitations rest upon moral sanctions which appeal to tbe legislators and to tbeir constituents, bat not to tbe Judges. If one legislature oversteps those implied limitations, an ample remedy Is found in an appeal to tbe people and in tne election ol another legislature which will repeal the obnoxious statute ;J but no other theory can be. devised by which tbe Judiciary can defend themselves against tbe imputation of usurpation when they assume Vo set aside an act ol tbe legislature on that grouod. It 1b nothing more nor less than an Impudent invasion on tbeir part ol the functions of a coordinate branch of the government?an impudent assertion of tbeir power to overturn acts ol tbe legislature upon tbe grounds that are merely moral and theoretical. It Judices would busy themselves in considering tbe implied llmltatinnx udou their own nower. instead of batch ing Implied limitations upon the power ot another branch of the government, they would present a more decent spectacle. *McCullough v Brown, IB 8 E. Rep. 458. fLoan Assn. v. Topeka. 20 Wall. 655; Parkeraburg v. Brown, 106 U. 8. 437; Lowell v. City of Boston, 111 Mass. 451; Allen v. Jay, 60 Me. 124; Feldman v. City Council, 23 8. C. 57. In a suggestive artlole on the South Carolina decision of the Supreme Court of the United States In the Chicago Lake Front cases (146 U. 8.387) is referred to as resting on an affirmation of this doctrine. The reasoning of the court does not necessarily affirm the doctrine. It iff, In subBtance, that the legislature cannot commit the breach of trust of giving away to a private corporation one of the public harbors of the State. The real reason Is that when the legislative trustee- commits such a breach of trust, no constitutional restraint prevents it successor in the trust, that is to say a succeeding legislature, frotu undoing the breach of trust, by repealing the act of its predecessor. The decision necessarily overrules?or at least refuses to apply in that instance?the Dartmouth College case, and that was the ground of the dissenting opinion. tJust as was successfully done In the Chicago Lake Front case, 146 U. 8.387. THE NEWS AND COUBIER. What a Former Charleatoulan Hhn to Say of tbat Paper. Your most able editorial in the Press and Banner of August 29th under the caption of "Law and Order" lieserves the thanks of tbe whole people of tbe Stale of South Carolina. I have no Idea that the News and Courier will reoroduce It in full or In part. Such is their style of doing business. But I do sincerely trust tbat tbe other dally and weeklv state papers will give It the wide and extended circulation it so Justly deserves. In your editorial you say: "The days of the bar rooms are numbered in South Carolina. It Is evident that a great majority of the people favor the dlsptju?ary plan of dealing with tbe liquor question, and It isn't for Judges and Anarchists to say that the people shall not rule." To law-abiding people this should be an axiom, but to tbe liquor dealers of Charleston, upheld by tbe News and Courier, aDd Incited to resistance to law thereby, it Is tieated wltb contempt. I desire In a few words to show that not only Is your editorial rebuke to your contemporary correct, but Just and true in every particular. When the saloon of Vincent Cbioco was raided and borne searched, contiaband whiskey was found and confiscated to the state. Kvery man in this free government feels that his borne U bis castle and safe from lawless search, but when one Is a breaker of the law be cannot claim Its protection, butsbould suffer lis penalty. Now, who and what was and Is this Vincent Cbtcco? In years past, public dog catcher and executioner ot worthless canines, and subsequently a keeper of a saloon, frequented by tbe drinklnu classes. Yet tbe News and Courier went Into hysterics when be was arrested for violating the law. He violated tbe dispensary law at that time and has done so since, pld any one bear, or has any one beard, tbat the private residence of any law-abiding citizen of Charleston has been searched? I know they did notand never wlll.Theundying enmity of the News and Courier at its loss 'of Eiestlge and Its Inability to make the State louse slate, the loss of power by tbe low country never to be regained, tbe ousting of tbe Bourbon element by tbe b< ne and sinew - - O -?- Ih. of the upper portion oj uiu au?c. ,?v control or the SU'te Government by the tillers of (he soil, has utterly and entirely destroyed the remnant of judgment and courtesy left to that dead paper by the sea, Again, you say; ''We believe In tbat time (two years) tbat that paper has not properly represented the commercial or financial interests of the city of Charleston." The News and Courier has been the enemy of tbecommerolal Interests of Charleston,not for two years, but lor twenty. Where Is Charleston's shipping interest? Look at her railroad facilities and her hotels. Where are many of her young men ? Gone. Why did they leave? Hard times, There must be a cause for tnls. Let us search tor it, There is scarcel} an issue of that paper that does not clip from some northern contemporary and bring up dead Issues, and comment unfavorably upon the north or east, Its anathemas upon the reunion of the Grand Army of the Hepublic has made Charleston no end of enemies, its foolish boast tbat South Carolina needed no Immigrants to till Its wuKLe places has made it tne laughing stock of newspapers. In conclusion, 1 charge directly to the anarchistic and Intemperate language of the News and Courier, the fearful catastropes in blood that have happened In South Caro- i Una. ??m- ?

Cotton picking U getting general, aud the probability is the yield will be uiucb smaller than tbe weed Indicate*. Col. Mlokler Is still quite sick. There is no other sickness In town. In tbe support of New County candidate* Greenwood yields tbe palm to Pboenlz, Jones and stony Point. Several families have moved- Into town recently. Miss Mary Lou Major was awarded tbe Peabody scholarship over twenty odd applloanta, which Is a high compliment to the young lady .and reflects credit on ber tutor, Prof. R. B. Wilson. In our partial defeat we achieved a glorious victory, but let us be charitable to the vanquished as tbe victors nan always afford to be. He Is back in private ranks and is no longer a target for criticism. Let no Greeuwood man continue to strike a fallen foe. Don't do it. Its cowardly. A large number of visitors are in town whose names have not been given us. We had given but little.attention to tbe Lalk of an Independent movement until tbe Greenville News last week discharged a double barreled proclamation saying "let her roll." Tbls led as to believe tbat from bis elevated percb on the leuce be was permitted to view the field In a way unknown to tbe 'flee," "puppets" aud " wblpper snapper"conservatives down In the corner. In oar mind however his ebulitlon was considerably discounted by tbe personel of tbe Butler conference held the following nigbt In Columbia. If Senator Butler and his beneficiaries are to name a ticket we want none ot It In ours, but it can be elected without us. Work on Dr. W. R. Bailey's resldeace has been commenced. A protracted meeting Is In progress this week In the Methodist church. Has Greenwood a friend at Abbeville? Those from wbom she has a right to expect tbe moot are ber worst enemies. A irlend says tbai high living and Inactivity has made me a "neap o' condor." 1 think tbat Is the species of lowl to which she said we belonged. Greenwood is proud of the way her vote was distributed ou election day. If it was to do over agalu there would be but little change. Meyers. Klugh Bros, sold tbe first bale of new cotton on the 28th of August None has been sold since. Tne political oetraolsm of tbe conservatives Is lamentable. An Independant flgbt could not hurt us. but we believe a vast majority ol our faction are willing to work along with the true Reformers, r/lio seem to be doing all tbey can to right the wrong. A fight now would only cement them to the rlogsters. We are not informed as to any "deals" in our recent primary, but know tnat one of tbe legislative candidates failed to commit bluiself on tbe slump against tbe new county. Tbis was an oversight on tbe part of our Abbeville friends, but Greenwood took advantage of it, dropped a little territory an<l run bim in. If there were any trades, tbe goods will be delivered In due time. Tbey are all bonorable men if we did vote against some of tbern. An lndepeneent fight now, If unsuccessful, means a second term for Evans and Irby. In tbe deatb of Mrs. J. G. Waller at tbe age ol 90 years another land mark is removed. Tbose only who knew her home life could most appreciate her real wortb. Simple, Rlaln and unpretentious as tbat life was she ved it not (or herself alone but for suffering humanity everywhere. The writer knows bow liberally and willingly she responded to every distress call. She made a profession of religion early In life and at tbe time of ber deatb was a member of Mt. Morlab Baptist church. Three children survive her. Hon. C A, C. and C Q. Waller. Mrs R. E. Ulbba. Mr. Moore who has been with D. C. DuPre Is now with J. K. Durst & Co. Mr. R. A. Calhoun will buy cotton here this season. Mr. J. 8. Bailey has put an Improved sys tern of water works on bis premises. Tlie conservatives of coarse are free to do just as they please. They owe no allegiance to Mr. Evans, muohless are they bound or weded to Senator Butler, his own course has estranged them. In his attempt to make friends of bis enemies he has made enemies of his friends otherwise, in bis political death he would now have 32,000 true and loyal sympathisers lustead of a few hired mourners A a oddity In the way of an open letter was one recently sent to Senator Sutler without the. writers signature, and which the Register greedily published. Tbis sort or bushwhacking never hurts the one for whom It Is intended. Mrs, Ellaufcbetb Logan and Mrs. J. C. Foster will please accept the thanks of our household far nice baskets of vegetables. While rusticating in the oonntry It was our privilege to atteud preaubipg at Greenville church. Many of the faces we met there tweoty years ago are gone. ; Other new oues Oil their pews, but there are-*>11II many familiar ones whom It was our graolous privilege to meet. Two years henoe will be time enough to sep arate the Democrats from me ropuuam ?uu thai Is as early as it can be done. A good Democrat won't spot' nor be led off to the ''light Id the Went."

Sparkman has returned from , Georgetown. The ginnery at the OH Mill Is now ready for business. Greenwood Is specially Interested In the secoud primary. It Is said that Senator Butler oan oominand any amount of money he needs lor campaign purposes. If It Is true and he Is using any of It for subsiding the antl press It must have taken a good slump of It. if any at all to move (V, B.

Lomax'a PUBLIC MEETING. ?? Nperclieii by MeftMrn. I.Htlmer Had Heinpblll?Patriotic Re?olallon>. 1 At a public meeting Id the Court House Ia?t Monday, Congressman A. C. Latimer gave ?n account of Ills stewardship In a good speech of an hour's length. Much of his time was devoted to national politics, of which we know nothing, but the views which he presented were lorcibly put and well said. While not agreeing with President Cleveland, Mr. Lntlmer gave biro the highest praise for integrity and honest of purpose. H In objection to Mr. Cleveland lay In tbe fact that he came from tbe east, and must of necessity be In sympathy with tbe section to which he was more closely allied. He opposed the "sub-treasury plan," and (bought the direct issue money from tbe treasury the belter plan for giving the needed relief to Che Deople. He said the new tariff law whb an excellent one. ? Mr. Latimer's speech van well received, and bl8 constituents seem satisfied with bin course In Waxbington. mo unanimous reelection last week was the highest compliment that could be paid to any one. General Hemphill was called upon and acquitted himself most satisfactorily to bla irleuds. He pledged anew bis fidelity to the Reform Movement. Mr J. C. Klugh said: Mr. Chairman. I bad not expected to say anything when 1 came Into tbls meeting But it seems to me that this large and representative assemblage of the Democracy of Abbeville County ought to Klve.some expression of sentiment Id view of the efforts and preparations now being made toruu an independent ticket and thus disrupt and overthrow tbe Democratic Party in this State. Every man baa tbe right, 81 r, to bave his say and to oast his vote. But no man bas the right to bring anxiety and distress and danger to our homes wble* ?ucb a bolt as tbl* threatens. It is best thai white men rule this state,best for us and best for tbe negro. I need not urgue that. Every mao has bad tbe opportunity to express bis choice. Ills now every man's duly to submit to tbe voice and tbe will of the majority. I bave sketched ibelollowlng resolutions, which I now offer and move their adoption : whereas an lndependme.it movement Is threatened that will divide tbe white people of South Carolina and endanger white supremacy : Resolved, That we tne Demo cram oi Aooeviiie ixiuuiv iu iuuius uieeiiug deprecate such a movement and view Willi deep regietaswell as astonUhrrvpct tbe coui*e taken by Geu.
