I|F' So ' ? The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON, ABBEVILLE, S. O. jj^Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Wednesday, Feb. 6, 1885. , What Does It Mean ? At first forty Reformers Issued an address asking for peace and unity between all the white people of South Carolina, or words to iC . that effect. since then "Thirteen" ol the "Forty" have issued another address of more or less likeness to the first address. Why the last address has only "Thirteen" signers we are not informed. * It may be ominous of the fizzling out of the brilliant scheme which can never materialize Thirteen is an unlucky number anyway. Speaking for the Press and Banner we take no stock in this proposed love-feast. If you take a certain number of one faction and the remainder from the otber faction " * l?Mir marlra inrtalllhlv or inef. mat m'uuu vi iwo" u _ faceably the dividing line, and does exactly what It is proposed not to do. 4 In the first place, however, nobody is authorized to bind anybody to any particulai line of action. An attempt to trade and bar ter off the voter's ballot would be about a* foolish and aB futile as it is to expect an Irresponsible crowd in the Court House to past resolutions directing the bard headed, sensible and intelligent farmers of Abbeville county what crops they must or must not plant. Success on the farm depends on the practlcai - application ol business methods. No two farms are exactly alike, and the condition 01 no two farmers is exactly the same. Oi course the same cast iron rule cannot fit all the varying circumstances. For this reason the irresponsible mob In the Court House cac no more by resolution control sensible debt paying people than could a similar |wuuu? mob direct the self-respecting and Intelligent voter bow and for whom be shall cast his ballot. Let the best men run for the Convention. The people want no self-constituted bosses to dictate to them how they shall vote; and the candidate who cannot submit his chance* to all the' people need not attempt to "stock the cards" on the people. The people an tired of rings, and they are tired of being driven to the polls. It 1b time for a little fret thinking as well as time for a little free votlne. No caucus or dark lantern jobs will be acceptable. We want a free and open fight. W< want no packed Convention, and we want nr man to get there because of this Idle talk about peace, reconciliation and fraternity. Having abused tbeantis lor everything thai could be thought of to injure and put them out of public confidence, It comes with poot grace for the weak-kneed of their number u * of thlo tlrnA. sue ivr pcott- uu nuiu Stand to your colors, gentlemen. Be meo and vote as men, and don't let any self-constituted committee control your vote. W< want the best men In the Convention, and w< can only get tbem by a vote of the peopl< themselves, and not by any stocking of. th< cards by self-constituted committees. ?? Mm. Blake in the C'onrt House. Mra. Llllle Devereux Blake of New York made a speech In the Court House last night, on the subject of Woman's Rights. Our people manifested considerable curloslt v fn hear a woman speak from the platform( I and many desired to bear tbe argument Id favor of Woman's Rights. These fact* brought oat an unusually large audience oJ ladies and gentlemen, who listened to liei speech from first to last with unabated interest. She made tbe most of her subject,and many of her arguments were simply unanswerable. She is a woman of culture and refinement, and in herself furnished the best example ol the modesty, grace and eloquence which a representative lover of the rights of her sex may possess. By turns she was humorous, argumentative, and eloquent to a degree that touched every heart. Abe did not want her sex less charming, or less modeBt, but she desired tbe full rights ol the American citizen, and gave tbe bestot r reasons for maintaining the faith that is with. In her. 8he is a delightful speaker, arid we regret that we cannot give the text of her forceful and Impressive speech. Miss Kate Marshall played some excellent piano music before and after the speech. General Hemphill Introduced Mrs. Blake in one of bis happiest efforts. Mrs. Blake was constantly interrupted with . applause during the delivery of her speech. Practical Questions. Both the News and Courier and The State are directing attention to practical questions that are of inestimable value to the people ol South Carolina. The News and Courier lBdlrecting attention to hog raising, and has offered $100 prize for the biggest hog. See the nonce. ' Tbe State is urging with great force, the digging of artesian wells In malarious districts' whereby good bealtb is secured. Tbe Press and Banner wishes both contemporaries tbe largest measure of success in their important work. If they succeed in impressing their pet schemes on the public, tbey will have done more for the Slate than all tbe politicians In It, barring only the fence law and tbe dispensary, which laws are better than anything yet presented. The Old nnd the New. Mr. Thomas N. Tolbert retired from tbe post ottlcej yesterday, and Mr. R. S. Link, tbe new postmaster, took possession. Mr. Link will make a first class postmaster, who will serve tbe public most acceptably. Mr. Tolbert, and Mr. J. L. McMillan, assist, ant, retired from the office with the good will and friendship or all. We have been well nerved for tbe last four years, without a single complaint. Qood luck to the outgoing and the Incoming postmasters. By Its recent attention to the practical af taint 01 ine peopie, me aew? ?uu v.uuru-r ua* become much more interesting to the people.

PrRCtlc? iltntterN, Now 1r the time to plan /or making th year's crop, and this Is, therefore, one of th most'important things to be considered. . man must plan, and then he must work up 1 (lie designs. The indications are that not over five cenl will be realized from tbe cotton next lal For this reason It is well not to deceive ou selves with hopes of higher priced cotton. The crop for this year having already bee sold at a figure which would require cotton i be sold in tbe home markets at five cents would be safe to make calculations at tht price anyway. If higher prices should forti nately be realized the people could siand I They would then In that event have a surpli to Invest to pay debts, or to spend in luxurle Starting out then with five cents cotton, tfc question is, how can we raise it at that price We must make the crops on a more eci nomical basis than heretofore. To do so w must first provide for bread and meat, i order to do this we must plant such crops i will, in their screen state, save tbe feeding < store-bought Western corn to our mules an horses. Each farmer can best survey his o\v place, and can best solve thequestion for bin self as to how this can be done. Indian corn thickly sown In good soil wl furnish good early forage; pop corn sown i the same way Is valuable and would sa> money ; sorghum serves a good puiyose. A good garden is lndisoensable. Everybod ought to have a turnip patch and turnl salld. This will serve a good purpose unt early vegetables can be bad In the garden. Those who have not sufficient pasture lane should make arrangements lor the san; whenever practicable, and no family shoul be without a good milk cow or two. Lan owners should see that every tenant famll has a cow. It Is better to sell the cow to thei on credit where they are unable to pay casl The price of the cow may be saved in the r duced grocery bill. If a mortage is take upon the cow and calf and their increase, tt credit Is generally perfectly safe. When family once realizes, the benefit of having oillk cow almost any sacrifice will be made I pay for ber. A cow is nearerllkea memben the family than any other animal, and h< usefulness Is not to be computed in money. The owner of land should seldom waive b rent, or postpone Its collection until after tt merchant's lien is fully paid. If a tenai cannot procure advances witboutsuch waiv< or postponement It is often better to let tt land go un worked. But in cases where it ms '1 *" a/-\rr\aI hincr lot t hp la nHntPfli and the merchant divide the first cotton?dc lar for dollar?until one or the other Is pal This would be equitable?both land and pr visions being necessary to make the crop. I cases of this kind the merchant, looking afti bis own interest, will keep the lien with! due bounds, but If he Is to get the whole cro If so much be necessary to pay hlB lien, it possible that the lard owner will be leftin tl lurch. It is well lor the landowner to be generoi with bis tenants in the matter of pastures, at furnish on credit cows to such as are unable pay cash. To do so is to exercise that eular ed selfishness which is alike beneficial to a It is a bad policy to drive too bard a bargal with the poor. The better class of poor pe pie are susceptible to little kindnesses, and I many instances they will repay a hundr< fold for any generosity extended to them. A kindly interest In the wellfare of tenant who will be better and more acceptable se vice will be given than if otherwise treated. While none or usare rich, yet there are al wa; people who are poorer and who are in le favored conditions than we are ourselve These poorer and harder pressed people a sensitive to ill-treatment, and it is extreme bad policy to take advantage of them or 1 treat them disrespectfully, or apply to the offensive epithets. A large proportion of tl difficulties that arise between the hired rna and his employer, arlRe from a disregard t proper respect for the poorer man. Thei poor people sometimes resent the Insult b words in kind. This sometimes brings on breach of the peace. Sometimes the ma who thinks he has been ill-treated goes ol bearing malice in his heart. This sometime results in future secret injury to the offend Id party. But even supposing that the tenant or tli hired man, ueiiner men nor mier on. reseuit the insult, it In degrading to a gentleman t apply epithets to one whom he regards not i his equal. No man should go into a person! difficulty with his inferior. When the reli tlon of tenant or hired man is no longer plea ant or profitable It is far belter to have a amicable adjustment of matters, and then h a separrtion follow. SALE DAY IN FEBRUARY. A Large and Orderly Crowd in Ai tendance ? Good BnniiieNM ? Pnbli Sales. Last Monday was a beautiful day which a] were prepared to enjoy. The day was brighl and most pleasant change from tb long cold wet spell whichr had preceded i An immense crowd was in town. Good orde and good fellowship prevailed. The me chants had a fair trade for cash, and peopl seeking credit Mere not absent. Rontruanri merchants are considering th situation, and getting ready for the buslnet of making tbe coming crop. As a rule, they will not begin to let ou mucb money or provisions before tbe first c March, and in some instances tbe advance will be postponed until a later date. Tbe low price of cotton has brought us t tbe consideration of practical questions or li sues. The result is, that tbe merchant and tb banker is more careful than ever befofe I letting out money or goods on credit. Smal er amounts better secured will be tbe ruli With five cents cotton smaller store account must be made and smaller bank notes mus be given. No drunkenness or personal difficulties dli turbed tbe quietude of tbe day. Judge BuchanaD In deference to the larg crowd In town, and In order to give tbe ofi cers an opportunity to make their officia sales, adjourned the court from tweive untl three o'clock. Neither tbe Sheriff nor tbe Probate Judg made any sales, but the Master sold som property, as follows: Tolbertagalst Greenwood B. & L. Assoc is lion, 1 acre, to J. K. Durst, for $2,000.

We copy from the Atlanta Journal the fol lowing reference to the Woman's Suftrag Meeting: The delegates all wore brilliant yellow satli badges on which was very significant plci ures. At the top of the badge appears tb coat of arms ot the state or Georgia. At the bottom of the badge Is the same coa of arms, but in a rather dilapidated conditio! The column representing wisdom, the legls tive branch of the government, is missing, a It is claimed there can be no wisdom in a gov ernment where women are not allowed l vote. The column of Justice, the Judicial brand of the government. Is broken and leaning am the column of Moderation, the executivi branch of the government, is badly cracked The whole arch of the coustltution is ben and out of plumb, all on account of the lact the delegates say, that the women of the Btati are not allowed to vote. Facing the audience, and JUBt above thi stage were two llags oite belonging to the Na ttonal Association and one belonging to th< State Association. The national (lag Is like the United Statei flag except that tbe blue ground Is coverec with black velvet on which are only tw< bright yellow stars reprenentlng Wyominj and Colorado the only states that liav< adopted full woman suffrage. The Georgia flag Is like ihlB except that 1 has all the forty-four states upon the blu< ground. The ttrst two states Colorado and Wyoming are bright yellow, the next is nearly all yel low, representing Kansas, which has muni cipal suffrage for women, then seventeen stari are shaded with yellow representing the states where women vote on school questions the next, representing Iowa, Is shaded, foi there the women vote on bonds, then twe stars are faintly shaded, representing Missis slppl and Arkansas, where women vote on fence questions and certain kinds of petitions The other stars are all black, representimr the states where women do not vote at all, Geor gia Is one of them. TOBACCO-CHEWING. The f'lltbieNt Habit to Which Cieutleine 11 are Addicted. To be treed from tbe thralldom of tobaccc is a boon for which many crave, but, until lately few achieve. For two dollars me naon of chewing may be broken up. The remedj is so certain tbat the manufacturers propose to return tbe money to all who fall to receive benefit. TOBACCO STOP Is a discovery by a celebrated French pbysl' clan, tbat has reduced tbe number of uxentol tobacco in the French army from 200,000 to ;,000 in one year, and of course left them In excellent shape, and much more able to stand the fatigue of army life than before, as it leaves tbe person strong and all the organs acting in tbe natural way, at the same time taking away tbe mad desire for a stimulant which nicotine poison creates For sale by P.

Magill appeared before Judge ie Buchanan last Saturday, and made a motion A to stay the execution ol the sentence In the ,o case of Walker Derrick who was sentenced at this term of the court to be hanged on the 8th Ls day of March next. Alter hearing Mr. Magill I. the Judge signed the following order: r- The State of South Carolina, County ot Abbeville, n 1 Court of General Sessions. o The State vs. Walker Derrick?Murder, it Tbe defendant, Walker Derrick, having it been convicted of murder and sentenced, on >- the26tb day oi January, 1895, ?o be banged on t. tbe Hth day of March, 1895, and It appearing to is the court by the acknowledgement of M. F. s. Ansel, Solicitor of the 8th circuit, and F. W. ie R. Nance, Sheriff of Abbeville couty, that no tlce of appeal to the Supreme court from tbe > judgment and sentence In said case, has been duly served, in writing; and It further apn pearlng by the Solictor's acknowledgement in is writing that he makes no objection to tbe staying of tbe execution of said sentence d pending said appeal, now, on motion of D. n H.

Buchanan, y Feb. 2d, 18S>5. PresidingJudge. P The Press and Banner did not give the dell talis or the trlnl of this case; but the questions raised by the zealous cousel for the prlsls oner may be of Interest at this time, since >e they are nice points and have never been setId tied in this State. d The prisoner's counsel moved to quash the y Indictment on the grounds: m 1. That the Grand .Jury who found the bill h. of dictment was an illegal Jury In that the e- former Grand Jury, which was superseded by 0 said Grand Jury, was not declared by a comif petent court to be Illegally drawn. a 2. That tbe return of the Sheriff as to his a service of notification on such Grand Jurors lo Is Insufficient, and it does not appear that tbe 01 Jury coinmlsioners were served with the writ ir of Venire Facias. 3. That the proof of service of those Jurors If purporting to be served by the Sheriff's dep>e uties was not made under oath. 4. That It does not appear by tbe return ol sr the Sheriff or otherwise, on the writ of venire ie facias or elsewhere, that the Sheriff served iy such writ on the Jury commissioners, In obef r dleuce to the mandate of the writ. >1- 5. Because the Sheriff's return does not d. state whether he left a written notification o- with each Juror of his having been drawn, at d his place of abode. Br This motion was overruled by the court and in Mr. Alaglll having found the same lrregularp. Itles with tbe writ as to tbe petit Jury be is challenged the array of petit Jurors. This obJection was overruled and exceptions noted. Alter lue CUDV1CUUU tt UIIH1ULI uu luc nuuic is grounds was made In arrest of judgment, ?d which was also overruled. to a motion for a new trial was made on the E- following: II. 1. Because the Jury found a verdict conn trary to the evidence, and because there was o- proof conclusive that the confession of the defendant was extorted by threats. Hi 2. Because the defendant has discovered since the trial of this case, that W. C. Shaw -8, will swear that he was told by S. 8. Bolles, a r- witness for the State, that threats were made against the life of the Defendant, Inducing ps him to make confession. s* 8. Because the Defendant has discovered 8. since the trial that H. H. Shaw was present at re the time and place of the alleged confession ly >f the defendant and knows that the defendto ant's life was threatened. tn The motion for a new trial was also refused ifc and the case will go up to the Supreme Court n on appeal. The life or the defendant will not oi be forfeited on March the 8:h. M? _ l THE CONVENTION, t, * * The nhkc of Lowntfeftvllle Talks And ,e Telia PleiuuuM TbfuicM. 'd liowndesvllle. S.

Buchanan, Pr? siding Judge, at January Term c Court, 1895, for Abbeville County: The Grand Jury would respectfull, make the following presentment I. We have passed upon all bill banded to us by the Solicitor, and hav found "True Bills" or "No Bills/' a the facts in our opinion warranted. II. We have visited the severs county offices, andsofaraswe wereabl a i no Irk thn 1 i rvt {foH imn o IV UCI/C1 IUiUV| All iUU 1IUIIWU tlUJV U our drsposal for tbat purpose, the sam are efficieutly and properly conducted but in order tbat there may be a ful and thorough examination of tb same, we have appointed a committe of our number to make such in vestige tion, the result of which we will em brace in our presentment at the Jun term of this Court. III. We visited the Jail and Poo House by delegation. As regards th former institution, we are pleased t state that everything was found to b satisfactory, so far as relates to the mat agement of the prisoners, sanitary ai raugements, &c; but there are certai repairs needed, notably in the matte of the well house and the roof of th jail building, which we recommend, ti at once attended to by the County Si pervisor. In the matter of the Poor House, w are sorry that we cannot make so fa> . !.. * ? , wiauic a jc|juit* 1110 tuaiuicuituiT i the paupers is to the lowest bidde (the wisdom of which we very muc doubt) aud while tbe contract for sue maintenance, if properly fulfille< might insure reasonable comfort to th paupers, we are compelled to state th* such is not the case. The clothing and bedding are of tfa poorest quality, and in our opinion t< tally insufficient to keep the paupei comfortable; and from what we ca learn, the contract is not carried oii in this particulars, as regards th quantity of firewood to be furnished. We would, therefore, recommen that the Supervisor see to it that th contractor beheld to a rigid compliant with bis contract. IV. We are of opinion that ther are more Constables in attendanc upon the Court than there is any n< cessity for, and would recommend the the Clerk of the Court investigate th matter before issuing the pay certifl cates to such Constables, and see whett er or not the law has been compile with in this particular. V. We would recommend, for th comfort of the Petit Jurors, that som disinfectants be used in tbe urinals 1 the jury rooms. VI. The several Trail Justices c the county have filed transcripts c their dockets, except Trial Justice Mai tin, of Donaldsville. Those filed are satisfactory, excer those of trial Justices Edwards am Gibert, which, in some particulars ar defective. Believiug that if theoppoi tunity be given them, these defect will be supplied, we shall expect sai< Trial Justices to make the needed es plamation at the June term of Cenrt. VII. It has been formally brough to our attention that one Jasper Bob was caught in the act of stealing con from the crib of John Pettigrew, am that said Pettigrew compromised sai< felony. 0 We reoommend that the Trial Jus tice of that vicinity take cognizance o this matter. VIII. We recommend that the us Court room be tendered Mrs. Lilli Devereaux Blake on the eveninj of the 5th of February, for th purpose of her address on the subjec of "Wife, Mother and Citizen." IX. As the Guardian, for the tim being, of the good order and quite o our Couuty, it affords us pleasure b note the salutary effects of the dispen sary law. The marked contrast between th< present, in the matter of drunkennes and that under the license system, i indeed encouraging to all lovers of so briety and good order. From 'our observation during our at tendance upon the Court, and from th< testimony of numbers of the best cit izens of Abbeville, we are satisfied tba the dispensary law is faithfully ob served in said town. In our opinion, this law is the bes solution of the liquor question tha could have been devised. Respectfully submitted, W. A. LANIER, Foreman. I,. W. While'* I.oeals.
