v : * H>;Vs ' ;? , j. i _i The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. BQTPublished every Wednesday at S2 a year in advance. "Wednesday, Ian. 33, 1885. ? mn /ir\vrTTT> 1?TmTOAT TH?i STATJj UUi\ vxiix ijlvh. Let CoiiNervntives Xot Enter tlie Race for Delegate ? Let the Reformer* Have the Convention all to Theinxelve*. Lately considerable printers' ink has been wasted in talking about holding a non-partisan State Convention. Why the change of front now that the most momentous event that has agitated this country for many a day has been brought about? Why do tender-foot Reformers, or Tlllman1 tes, appeal to us for a harmonious State Convention, so soon after running over us roughshod, and calling a Convention, as we verily believe, against the will of the majority ol the people? Without the use of oiMclal power, and without the exercise of the domineering will ol some iwoor three men in this State, no convention would have been called. No convention was needed, and, as a rule, the intelligence, the wealth,ana the representative people of this State voted against the Convention, while the election bosses at Columbia re sorted, or proposed to report, to the dirty trick of furnishing only partisan election tickets t*> be voted at the election. The Reformers having sanctioned the unfair act of their leaders, can take the Conven tlon as far as this newspaper Is concerned, and make the most of it. Self-respecting Conservatives, who were opposed to the Convention, ana voted against it, Hhouid. in our opinion, have nothing to do with It. They shouldn't compromise Themselves by being candidates Tor a position to ' which the Reformers, as a whole, do noi intend to elect tbem. . Of course there are exceptions, but, judging the future by the past, we do not believe that any considerable number of Reformers will vote for a man who voted against the Convention, or wbo thought, or may now think..the present Constitution 1b good enough. Tbit newspaper believes that we now have a better Constitution than we will ever have after * this one Is done away with, and, while we may consent to the proposed and openly declared Intention to commit frauds on the negro, yet we will be excused from taking any active or zealous part in any movement, whose avowed chief and crowning aim Is to commit^fraud on human rights. Article XIII of the Constitution of the United States, says: "Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime wbereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United states, or any place subject to their Jurisdiction. "Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this Article by appropriate legislation." The XlVth Article of the same Instrument says: "Section 1. All persona born or naturalized In the United States, and subject to tbejuris diction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law wbicb ' shall abridge the privileges or Immunities ol citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deb v to any person within Its Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "Sec. 5. Tbe Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, ihe provisions of this Article." The XVth Article says: "Section 1. Tbe right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied 01 abridged by tbe United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. "Sec. 2. Tbe Congress shall have power to enforce this Article by appropriate legislation." If the English language could be plainer we do not see how it could be. But it may be that "Reform" has a new set of glasses that will enable those learned In "Reform" to nee what the unaided eye has not yet discovered. " Powerful glasses enable us to see some very small things right at us, and by tbe same .means we may see or discover large bodies at immense distances. But with our limited knowledge of tbe English language we cannot see how a law can be made to apply to tbe negro that does not apply to tbe white man. If an educational qualification Is applied, then the officers of tbe State must enlorce it! ointit.lv ftp pKp encAce in the un worthy business of teaching her citizens a disregard of the moral law, which would nul> lify the principles that are taught in her public schools. The State or South Carolina would cease to teach her children that manhood is the true test of citizenship, and eucourage the belief in her children that the color of their faces marred or made the citizen. If a property qualification Is required, then It must apply alike to all. The negro's money Is as good as the white man's, and If citizenship is to be conferred because of the accumulation of wealth, then the State should act honorably, and treat all alike. But the Press and Banner is dead opposed to the requirement of either qualification. The possession of a little money and the acquirement of some education does not make character. Some of the most accomplished scoundrels this country has ever known have bad money and education too. Some of the ' best and most substantial men in Abbeville county are deficient in one or both of these qualifications. No, sir; let the Convention men go to their own Convention. It makes no sort of difler ence to the.public which particular Indi vidua' represents Abbeville county. One man Is about as good as another, and it is not likely that anvhrviv will hft elected who will liftve much Influence beyond his own "yes" or "no." As a rule about tbree-fonrtbs or fourtlftbs of the members of a Convention or General Assembly seldom open tbeir mouths except on local matters, such as cotton seed laws, dog laws, fox lawB, turtle laws, tbe regulation ot the salary of the little hoy that draws tbe juries, tbe prescribing of tbe duties of coroner, <tc., <fcc. The fact is, tbe denunciatory course of the Reformers has alienated from them a considerable portion of their neighbors, and they have reason to take very little interest in tbe election for delegates to tbe Convention. The , Legislature which ordered the Convention also ordered a registration which is represented to be'Deriectly free and open to all. All citizens may dow register to vote for delegates to the 8tate Convention. No hint is given as to how the State Convention is to let wblte men vole, simply because they are white, and to deDy that right to others, simply because t hey are black. Certain It is, that if any great and ure means of controlling the negro vote has been discovered, the Legislature did not know it or did cot act upon ine lniorraHiion. The restoring to tbe registration list of the thousands of negroes who had forfeited their legal right, and the offering of a new opportunity to those who neglected to reenter at the right time, practically turns this country over to the negroes?if the law is to be fairly administered. Tbe white people are in the minority, and tbey are divided. If tbe solid ? negro vote is not felt in tbe coming election SJt will be a strange tblng. "It becomes the Conservatives to Btay out of tbe approaching election for delegates. Tbe Reformers will not, in our opinion, vote for them, and we believe tbey should vote lor no man who thinks our Constitution is good enough. We further trust that no Conservative will seek to be elected by tbe negro vote If this country is to be turned over to tbe negroes, we hope tbe Conservatives will not be ' tbe means of tbe transfer. Advnnce. Endeavor. There is no rellglouB organization in the United States more widely known, or its Influence more felt for good, than the Society of Christian Endeavor. With its membership 01 over two millions, it is training a bostof earnest young Christians, who will do active service In tbe cause of Christ in the next generation. The Society being under the strict control of tbe cburcn in which It is organized, is tbus adapted to all denominations, as Is proven by tbe fact thirty-two denominations have recognized tbe usefulness of the Societies by permitting tbem to be organized in their churches. Although tbe promoters of the movement are proud of this fact, yet Its chief mission is not forgotten, for tbey seek in every way to inculcate tbe lesson of loyalty to S'Hwie* onH ir\ iHa />hnrp.hpR in whirh f.hft ties are organized. The State Christian Endeavor Union realizing the good that has been accomplished wherever the Society has been introduced and given a fair trial, especially in arousing yonng Christians to greater activity in Christ's service, has decided to ask every minister and Christian worker in the State to cooperate with them in celebrating the organization of the llrst Society, by forming Societies in every chnroh in the State, either on the 2nd of February, or during the following week. Christian worker, we need your assistance: kindly let us have your hearty co-operation, and help us to make the date mentioned memorable in the history of the Christian Endeavor movement in South Carolina, because of the great number of Christian EnHoavnr Societies formed at that time. All So cietles are requested to report to the State Christian Endeavor Secretary immediately after organizing, because it is greatly desired that he be able to report a great increase in the number of Societies in tbe State, at the next State Christian Endeavor Convention, which will be held at Blacbvliie iu April. For constitutions, or other iniormation, write at onee to the State Secretary, Allan Nicholson, Union, S. C. * RAILROAD MAGNATES, j The <V X. OlfiriiilH Visit Ahhe-i ville. Wednesday oflast week the lilgh officials of the Seaboard Air Line road paid a hurried trip to our town. Quite a cumber or our people went to the depot, to meet them, hut the train was late, and afterward called on them while they were in the office of Mayor fiill j and the city council. After a stay in the of-1 fice they were driven in carriages to the homo I of Judge McUowan, where they p?ld their re-1 spects to our distinguished leilow-cliizen. j AVe have not learned the object, of their coming, but. presume it. had for Its purpose a better understanding, and the cultivation of good f<*eline and friendship between I ho railroad and 1 Us customers. Speaking for the Press and Hattner, we are glad that they came. From the first inception of the road Abbeville has felt most kindly to the new road, and when a proposition was made some two or three years ago to build their shops here our people contributed some S1S.OOO in cash toward the enterprise. The shops were built. People came to run them, and Immediately a great, outcry was made by some of them against our town hecause we were snort on nouses to rent. To moot t hut iiomunii nnr neonle exerted every energy and employed much capital and material in building houses for reut. About the time an abundance of houses were built the railroad, because of an alleged spasm of economy, greatly cut down the force and compels ed the evacuation ol some of our houses. No sjreat effort has ever been made by the railroad authorities to satisfy our people of their Intended good faith in taking our money, as a corporation, and then encouraging our Individual citizens to build houses to supply a demand which they afterward so unceremoniously cut off. | While these gentlemen on their recent visit were very chary as to their future intentions, yet their preseuce and kindly attention to some of our people Is taken as evidence that they are not unfriendly to Abbeville and that they did not take our money without good faith, and that they did not Intentionally encourage our citizens t?? build houses to supply a demand which should not exist because ol a change of their own purposes. We cannot think that the railroad people, while apparently friendly, would have held out hopes to our people which would not be [ fully realized, and we canuot think that they would have intentionally encouraged our clt[ Izens to involve themselves in the erection ol dwelling houses which would not be needed. Our people who met the railroad men were glad to see them. We hope and believe that they will keep the faith with us, but our people do not understand the quiet and unceremonious removal of a large per cent, of the shop force. They do not understand why this place did not get the beuetltof the "cut rates" last Summer that was accorded to some other places, except the aliegea explanation or excase of the rallrond that Abbeville was friendly and would give the road its business anyhow. No city or town could have been more lrlendly to any road than Abbeville has been to the G., C. & N., and It seems only just that the road in turn should deal squarely and trankly with us. II the road will lake our ?18,000 to build shops to be dismantled ; if they will encourage our citizens certainly by act. If not <in words, to build houses for tbeir employees, and then remove the employees; If they discriminate against us in the matter of freight because of our triendship, then It is welt to know it. If the railroad has not 60 acted, there should be no misunderstanding about the matter. ?? * THE FREE SCHOOLS. To Buy Hook* In Oconee, Pickens nud Abbeville. Section 1.

The Seaboard Air Line officers special that has been eolng over the system for the past | three weeks on an Inspection trip wound up In Atlanta last Thur*day. A fine banquet was given the party by General Manager J. JL Winder. The officers on the trip made It a point to stop at all the towns along t he line of road and spend a few hours with the people. Vice President St. John beaded the party, Mr. V. E. McBee managed the transportation end, Conductor Tom Alderman and Engineer Joe Heltchleg managed the bell line and throttle on the entire trip.

The Atlantic Coast Line has recently put into service on their fast passenger trains some large and speedy engines of Baldwin build, 19 by 24 cylinders, six foot driving wheels, boiler pressure of 185 pounds of steam. In a letter to the Racket mau from ooe of the men In charge of one of thee engines he says: She trots off sixty miles an hour with eight cars.

The Armenian CriHl*. l.'nder Hie above caption "The lie view 01 Jieviews iui contains a graphic story of the outrages and massacre by the Turks. The following is taken therefrom : "Some Kurds, having robbed Armenian villages of flocks, the Armenians pursued and tried to recover their properly, and a lightensued in which a do/. Kurds were killed. The slain men were semi-ofllcial robbers,' /. r., enrolled as troops and armed as such, but not under control. The authorities were telegraphed here [Constantinople] that 'Armenians had killed some of the Sultan's troops.' The Sultan at once ordered infantry and cavalry to put. down the Armenian rebellion, and they did it, only, not finding any rebellion, they cleared the country so * ? --1- ~ 1 -1 in f V?o fllf lira 'f lUHl 11 >1 It"? MIIIMI1U in;uui Iij wc iuvuivi Another letter, dated Bitlis, Oct. 9, 189~4, reads thus : "Nearly all these things are related here and there by soldiers who participated in the horrible carnage, some of them weeping, claiming that the Kurds did more, and declaring that what they did was to obey orders. Others said that a hundred fell to each to dispose of. No compassion was shown to age or sex, even, by the regular soldiery,?not even when their viotinm fell sunoliant at their feet. Five to ten thousand met such a late as even the darkest ages of darkened Africa had hardly witnessed, for there women and tender babes might have at least the chance of a life of slavery, while hci'e womanhood and innocency were but a mockery before the cruel lust that euded its debauch by stabbing to death with the bayonet, while tender babes were impaled with the same weapon on their dead mothers' breasts, or perhaps seized by the hair to have their heads lopped oil" with the sword. In one place three or four hundred women, after being forced to serve the vile purposes of a merciless soldiery, were hacked to pieces by sword and bayonet in a valley below. In another riiur>o anirw twn hundred, weenineand wailing, begged for compassion, falling at the commander's f?et, but the bloodthirsty wretch, after ordering their violation, directed the soldiers to dispatch them in a similar way. In another place borne sixty young bride* and more attractive girls were crowded into a church, and, after violation, were slaughtered, and the gore was seen running out of the church door. Tn another place a large company under the lead of their priest fell down before them, begging compassion, and averring that they had had nothing to do with the culprits(?), but all to nc purpose, all were killed. In another place proposition was made to several of the more attractive women to change their faith, in which case their lives might be spared. 'Why should we deny Christ ?' they say : 'We art no more than they,' pointing to tht mangled forms of their husbands and brothers before them, 'kill us too,' and they did." The same article quotes from the treaty between England and Turkey, which shows that th? latter country guaranteed protection and religion? liberty to the Armenians; and that therefore England has it in her powei to force reparation on the part of Turkey, so far as reparation for such atro cious crimes cau be made. The government report shows an increase in the exports of agricultural implements, being So,027,828 in 1894, compared with $4,6?,232 in 1803. Too many farmers are negligent about their straw stacks. Good wheat or oat straw is well worth all the labor it costs to put it up in water-prool stacks or ricks. It is stated that a horse can liye five days on solid food without drinking, seventeen days without eating or drinking, or twenty days on water alone. "If there is one time more than another," says an experienced married man, "when a woman should be left alone, it is when a line of clothes comes down in the mud. . One of the best things in the world to give a hor.se, after he has been driven, is a quart of oatmeal stirred in a pail of water. It refreshes and strengthens him, relieves his Immediate thirst, and prepares his stomach for more solid food. Do you want, a hat for a Utile money, or do you wnnl oncof the nlcsl neckties in lown?
