To (he U.? (! & >. Authorities.
Abbeville village has shown itself friendly
to the G., (J. & N. railway from Its inception
to the preseDt time.
Then, gentlemen managers of the road,
why do you allow whiskey to be smuggled
over your road Into thl6 town, contrary to
the laws of the Slate, in violation ol the laws
of the town, and in opposition to the moral
eentlmen'tof this people? Are you in league
with the Illicit liquor dealers? Doyou uot
allow your trainmen to bring liquor here
free of freight charges, aud In violation of all
law? Is It not true that trainmen have repeatedly
brought liquor to Abbeville, contrary
to law, and free of freight charges? If
''blind tigers" and other Illicit dealers in liquor
can get their freight carried free of
charge how is it that legitimate and honest
trades people have to pay for every package?
As far as we are Informed not a package of illicit
liquor has beep brough t to Abbeville
over the C. <fe G. road.
The Naucity of Another Hon Me In*
vndcd.
Our vigilant town marshals captured two
packages of illicit liquor last week?one of
three gallows and one of five gallows.
The five gallon package is said to have been
brought in by trainmen on the G., C. & N. for
Manuel McKellar, and was captured while on
the way tohls hohseln the night time. The
three gallon package, we believe, was captur*
ed la tbe home or business place or Manuel
McKellar, who Is a widower, his wife having
died a year ago. II Is, therefore, Impossible
to get up a scene In which a woman must
take a most conspicuous part. /
And so It is, that this industrious necro
must submit not only to having his house
searched, but to having bis liquor confiscated
and carted off to the Sheriff's office.
Editorial VInIL
Editor Jay nes of the Keowee Courier, w*b
in town last Monday night, and while here
paid a visit to the office of the Press and Banner,
where anybody connected with the good
Keowee Courier Is always sure to reoelve a
hearty welcome. Editor Jaynes is a lawyer
of note, and has conducted Bome able and successful
Issues id the recent courts. He pubs
both talent and uncreaslng.effort In his cases.
Who are leading In the demand for a Con
ititutlonal Convention? The rich and the
educated. Are they working in their own
Interest or in the interest of the people? The
Convention cannot be lor the benefit of the
poor and uneducated. They now have as
much right as the richest man In South Carolina.
It may not be so, after tbe Convention.
The poor and uneducated classes in South
Carolina now have tbe fullest and most perfect
rlgb'-Bguaranteed to them, but If tbe bosses,
Lbe rich people and the educated people,
are allowed to make a new Constitution
It may take away some of those rights.
Poor men, uneducated men, white and
black, what do the politicians want with a
Convention, if It 1b not take away some of
your rights? Isn't this proposition proved by
tbe boast that the negro vote will be reduced,
us well as by the refusal to let the people vote
