The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. C*?~PubliKtie<l every Wednesday at a year la advance. Wednesday, Noy. 21, 1894. l>r. l'o|?e*M Strength. Dr. I'ope still raves about lils defeat for Uovo-rwu. mid i? mav bo that he honestly believes | that he had some strength before the people. The figures on their face indicate that he had. But if we go beneath the surface and look for the facts, wej believe it will be found that he had, of himself, almost no strength at all. He represented the anti-dispensary element, or, possibly more correctly speaking, he ran iu opposition to the dispensary- law. That was a declared principle iu his platform, and any other man would have likely received the same vote that he did, If he had run as Dr. Pope did, in opposition to the dlspeusary law. A hasty glance at the tabulated vote of the counties, we think, proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Dr. Pope's following was lrom among the opponents of the dispensary. Where the opposition to the dispensary was most pronounced, lie received his largest vote. Turn to the figures which appear iu another part of this paper, and satisfy yourself. See Charleston, Greenville. Richland, Spartanburg. These four counties, or cities, gave Dr. Pope about one-third of all the votes that he received. But, as a matter of course, the dispensary had opponents everywhere, and we presume that they gave expression to that opposition by voting for Dr. Pope. Others voted for Dr. Pope for various reasous. Taking the election returns as a whole, It was a great victory for the dispensary. The antl-dlspensary candidate was defeated by a majority of over twenty thousand?being about double the majority which the prohibitionists polled over the license system at the previous election. Dr. Pope's signal defeat when running on the dispensary question, Indicates that the dispensary is strong with the people. While Dr. Pope has a following which Is strong and powerful, yet the law has the approval of the people, and it will stand. Interesting Talk. If you want to know "Why Cotton is Low," read what L. W. Youmans has to say on the subject. If you want to read a good story of the K ev olutlon, turn to the "Death of Parker," the Tory. If you want to learn something of the ravages of the consuming element, the story ol "Forest Fires" will attract your attention. If yo'u want speculation on the size of the Cotton Crop Alf B. Shepperson will talk to you. "The Issue of Government Bonds," "The Dead Judge," "The Resuscitation of Life," and "A Curious Case,'' respectively present matters worthy of notice or thought. "The Cabiuet Conclusions" as to what bronght about the Demooratic overthrow irtmAa fr/vrr* a. hfcrh cnnrnA nnrl mnv hA worth just as much as If anybody else bad said it. Dr. Sampson Pope comes again. "The Cotton Planters Association" do some talking and farming on paper. Cleveland has wisely concluded to talk less. Official Figures of the Election in South Carolina and of Snake Bltesjn India are perhaps trustworthy. "The Plans ol Populists" and "How to Fatten-Hogs," is of Interest. "Phosphate Figures" and "Scouting Indians" are close together. And a lot of little pieces are thrown In for good measure. Don't Get Drunk in the Forenoon. It is not in good form to get drunk iu the forenoon. Well bred people wait until the evening to get full of wine. Even in the olden times it was considered a reproach or a blot on one's gentility to get drunk iu the forenoon, and Peter on one occasion defended his friends from such imputation. In reply to the charge that "these men are full of new wine," he said: "For theseare not drunken, as we suppose, seeing it is but the tnird hour of the day." Peter couldn't believe 'that his genteel friends would get drunk in the forenoon, mougu ne am noi preieuu u> say wuai uiey would do in the evening. Our friend h. d. Reese, seems to mean business from the way be talks in bis "ad.' He certainly deserves the patronage of our' people. He has repaired iaud renovated since be came here, watches of all kinds. Numbers of them have been ticking along for teu to fifteen years to the delight of their owners, reminding them of bis skill as a watchmaker. Best of all you will always find bim at his post ready to seve you. Letter from Troy. Troy, S. C., Nov. 19,1894. "Coming events cast their shadow before." Watch the 19th oi December. Rev. J. G.
