The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S. C. I^Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Mr. R08WELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, U not authorized to take advertisements (or this newspaper. Twelve jfages. Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1894. "Abbeville Slates.*' It seems tbat some people are determined to believe tbat Abbeville has made slates, and prened Abbeville village men for office. Look at the Court House, and see bow many Abbeville men are filling public office. Mr. R. E. Hill, the recently eleoted Probate Judge is tbe only Abbeville man who was elected to offioe in the recent primaries. Tbe otbere came to tbe village because of tbe offioes to wbicb tbey were elected or appoint" ed. At tbla time Abbeville men bave no office of profit in tbe Court House. Abbeville will bave only two members of -V tbe next General Assembly, Mess. Robertson and Gary, and tbe county will bave four. Tbe county will get all tbe offioes of profit, and two thirds of the political offices, i And Abbeville village baa never asked or received from tbe county excessive favors eliher In political bonors or offices of profit. Tbe present Sheriff came from Due West. Tbe Clerk of tbe Court came from Greenwood. Tbe School Commissioner came from Antrevllle. Tbe Probate Judge came from Verdery. One oounty^oommlssioner came from Greenwood; one from Little Mountain, and one from Magnolia. Tbe Master came from Greenwood. Tbe Treasurer came from Greenwood. Tbe Registrar came from Hampton. Tbe Coroner comes from White Lick. Not a single officer In tbe Court House Is an Abbeville man, except as be was made so because of bis election or appointment to office. As far as we can recollect tbe village bas furnished two Sheriffs, one Connty Commissioner, and one Treasurer since 1876. Tbe county furnished the rest. But, II anybody begrudes us tbe only officer . we have bad In a long time, we can ohly Bay that Abbeville's vote is only a small propor. tlon of tbe whole, and we could never elect an officer without the concurrence or the peo\ pie living awav from Abbeville. The Convention. The recent "True" Democratic Convention may have done some good, and It Is hardly probable than any harm was done. It Is nothing amlBS to put the "dominant element" on notice ..that they must not totally disregard party principles and party p ledges. While the Press and Banner believes no good could oome or mating nominations, there 1b certainly no harm In a conference ol public spirited and patriotic citizens. If nominations were made, the "dominant element" would perhaps Lave new excuse for calling on the faithful to close ud the ranks. Aooordlng to oar viBlon the disintegration of tbe Reform faction baa already set In, In this county, and it seems to us tbat whatever we do to Irritate and oppose the majority will only postpone the day when Tillman, Irby, and bis immediate followers mast give place to fairer and less extreme men. There cankbe no possible doubt tbat it will not be long before the leaders who now bave tbelr own way, will be deposed, and other and less objectionable men will oome to the front. New conservative men from either side, without a reoord, will likely bave their inning at an early day. Tbere will be yielding on the part of neither party, but a fair compromise and a coming "together of the better and fairer elements ol both factions will soon rule 8outh Carolina. Died of Fever. We see notices of the deaths ol men, women and children from typhoid fever In some of our neighboring towns. Tbls Is Just the season when danger lurks In our wells, and when we should use all known means to prevent the appearance of so dread iui a unease. There is no longer any doubt that typhoid fever Is a filth disease, andean be prevented If the water in oar wells is pure, and the premises on which we live is clean. Let the people oo-operate with the town council In warding off a disease which is so dangerous to llle, and which is so painful and expensive, even if It does not destroy life. Lively Baslnetts Prospects. From the amount of goods which Is being brought to Abbeville tbe many stores must be looking for tbe largest trade that we ever bad. Tbe orops are good, and the people owe . less than usual at this season. While It Is said that cotton today is lower than It has been for forty years, yet we have plenty of oorn. Our mules, horses, and cattle are fat. Our bay crop is larger than it ha6 been for years. Tbe barns will be filled with the finest of bay, and everything points to a prosperous and happy winter. Very Sorry. We are in receipt of some interesting letters for publication, which came to hand yesterday evening?too late for us to publish them J this week. With printers tills Is a very busy season of tbe year. Advertisers bave tbe rlgbt of way, and we Just cannot set up a wbole paper on Tuesday night. An Honored Kdftor. Col. M. B.

As soon as the Convention was organized Chairman Carwile.of the conference, offered the following: Whereas, men prominent In the affairs of the State clalmlDg to be Democrats, some ol whom are now seeking nomination for High offices as Democrats, have declared themselves bound by the principles announced at a Convention held at Ocala In the State ol Florida on the 3d day ol December, 1890, as paramount to all other political principles whatsoever, which principles are centralizing In their tendency and opposed to those of the Democratic party: And whereas, others so now claiming to be Democrats have allied themselves with member? of a new party styled tbe Populist party; and have declared themselves ready to abandon the Democratic party whenever an opportunity favorable to tbe successof the socalled Populist party shall present Itself: And whereas, under such circumstances it becomes tbe duty of the Democratic party in this State, through Its official representatives in Convention assembled, explicitly to declare Its position in regard to these disturbing influences: Kesolved, That this Convention, composed of loyal Democrats from all parts of the State, ilsmnnwl nf the Convention to assemble on tbe 19th Instant, under the call of the executive committee ol tbe Democratic party of tbe State as heretofore organized, explicitly to declare tbe true and loyal allegiance of tbe whole Democratic party of tbe State of South Carolina to the principles and organization of the National Democratic party, and to repudiate and rescind tbe action of the State Convention of 1892 adopting the Ocala platform as that of tbe Democratic party of this State. 2.

The sweeping reduction of the torce of workmen last week at the railroad shops has been the topic ol conversation on the streets, and many theories and explanation have been forth-coming as to the "why aud wherefore" of the move, and many different prophesies as to the further action of the Hullroad Co. in regard to the shops. We know nothing more than our neighbors, but venture the opinion that the worklbg force will be soon put back, as at first, and Abbeville will have no cause to complain of bad treatment on the part of the Seaboard Air Line railroad. Abbeville has been a friend to the road from the very first aud expects to be treated as such. Union services were held In the Presbyterian church Sunuay night, the Kev.

Last Thursday Home thirty-six men were discharged trom the railroad shops at Abbeville, the reason assigned being the desire to reduce expenses temporarily at least. The course of the officers In discharging so many men will work a hardship on the men themselves and to that extent affects the town; but we hear that the full force will be put on In the course of sixty days.
