Ik Tho "Forty" will meet in Columbia today. 1j'v What their deliberations will amount to re- nai mains to be seen. The Press and Hanner is now, and always has been, in fuvor of peace. wjj There never has been any need for all this _! strife and bitterness, and It should die out, ? and, if let alone, it will soon die a natural me death. the We are not in favor of any plan which j would bring us back to the old convention i,i system of nominating our candidates. We P?' have had a long tussle to obtain the right to m? voi/> fnr thp mpn of our choice, and we do not. for wish to surrender that right. A peace which hei is bought at the expense of our liberty is not m,j' worth the price. The lact is. this editor and Soi this newspaper is very well content to let c'a things rock along. We have an abiding faith j?,' in tne good sense of the people, and we be- Ooi tieve this people have about resolved to have yp' oeace by allowing malcontents to do as they jn please. urn We are not quite sure thai the proposition to divide equally the representatives in ihe j convention is right, and we are not at all con ow viiiced that the goods could be delivered, . Thi< convention is a Reform Job, and we are sontewMat inclined lo let them manage it the its best they can. They have a hard Job on ihelr hands, and it may i>e better not to interfere with them. We were never in favor of this 3 convention anyhow. It is an unprofitable as* int nation and a useless cxpensu. according to ,ei our way 01 thinking. While it is well enough for the"Foity" to r? ?c, ihpv f.an do nothing * WUICl Wftcmci , ? which will bind the Democratic party. Re of duced to the last resort, the Democratic parly P?1 is the source of power, and to that we must aw look for deliverance from the troubles which 1 beset us. The "Forty." like the "Peace t'on. j'erence," can ODly make suggestions, which foi ihe Democratic party may accept or reject. wi We thank them for their good intentions. ^ feeling sure that the object which they strive fai I?ir will be accomplished sooner or laler. tu ^ ^ ha Abuut the Collection of Taxes. Kvery year there is more or less of a rush M. at the Treasurer's office during the last days ^ for the collection of taxes, every taxpayer In 'j the connty having a perfect right to pay at wi the last moment, under the law, as it now stands, thus requiring the imposslbleni the we Treasurer. "ti During the whole year through there is a scarcity of money at the Treasurer's office op and people who do work for the county must < shave their paper or else wait until the collection of taxes. m< t We believe these propositions will not be denied. ,s(( The last Legislature made au Impracticable In effort to provide against the scarcity of money by authorizing county officers to borrow 8tl money, and this without placing around the effort the reasonable safeguards. Now, all this crowding and confusion at the ^ Treasurer's office, and the scarcity of money wa may be avoided, by authorizing the Treasurer to make a discount of one per ceut. a month Jiei to such taxpayers as anticipate their pay- Ur< ment. This would not be more than seven per cent, per aunum. sol Say the Auditor gets his books ready by the uu first of May, and the day forcioslug the books is December 31st of each year. e(j A few men would pay during every month Ke * >? . i... ?r hnnto yes I ruin iKieopt?uiug iu iucuiuou^ >-?* v???- vw??. Let those who pay in May get eight percent discount from their taxes; those who pay in June get seven: those who pay in.Iuly six, * and Boon to the first ot December when the wa taxes would be paid without, rebate or dis- toi count. pel By this system the taxpayer would receive wa the discount: the government would have! sen l the ready cash with which to pay current ex. j * penees. sor The people would receive the benefit, and tht no chance f<>r Jobbing, scheming or money* ^ making would be allowed. / If anybody thinks one per cent, is high, let jn him see how much the government charges delinquents. We ^e'ieve it is one per cent, lio u day for fifteen days, and then adds costs 71UU rACV'UUUiin. I ^ m ^ ^ [ tlei Wo in mi Suffrage. | ba)l The advocates of vomau snftrage are guin-1 tug strength, and that question will be a live j issue in the next constitutional convention. wa The Press and Banner is unqualiliedly of t ^ the opinion that qualified suffrage, at least, h should be guaranteed to womw. we In the first place. Is nota woman as uiucb Prj interested in the safety and welfare 01 the Wei State, j?s her brother or husband ? '1' Js the educated female property holder not wai as fully competent to vote as the male vagrant rapscallion who earns a precarious living, or beats his way ? Certainly when school houses or public im- C provements are to be built at public expense. by the taxation of property, Is not a woman l|je who can earn money, and save it, as compe- bel tent to vote on questions which affect her lw* properly as the vagabond who neither works er^ nor supports himself V The nteie question of or sex should not arise, when the property rights are jeopardized. otU| An educated woman, who holds property, V is as competent to vote on the question of a school house aa anybody, no matter who he pj| is, ana certainly more ho man uie laie man ian who has neither education nor property. siP' \y . . . ^ i eve in 1 About Insurance Com pan J em. K tra< i>ur legislators should pass a law requiring age insurance companies to pay the Cull amount ta i lor which they issue a policy, and for which they receive a premium. The companies should not he allowed to swindle our people >' by re-assessing the property after it has been qUJ destroyed, and after they have been receiving t. ( the premium perhaps for years. Wi The Legislature should require all couipatiles doing business In this State to deposit a law reasonable amount of State bonds, as a "et pledge, or security, for the faithful performunce of their contract. C Heavy penalty should attach loallcompa- iD 1 nies who receive premiums without first com- am plying with the needed law as to the deposit ter of oonus. s"' J( - ? ? froi feci Vote of Tluuiks. \\ The Press and Banner believes the press of P? the State owes (Joveruor Evans a vote of V: thanks for his refusal to sign the different acts niu of the last Legislature which were intended Vi',e as a blow at the newspapers of this State. \ That House of itepresentatives attempted win to reduce other people's salaries, but sought to JJ'*' raise their own. They tried to appropriate a j0h dollar a day more than was lawful for them Sta selves. The Senate, however, did the right ,)(^J ihinu nnri rofiiKPil to join in the nronosed sal- ti? arygrab. ['.,e Let the State Press Association at its next meeting formally adopt a resolution of the thanks to Governor Evans. L'l The brethren of whatever political faith can afford to recognize the manly course of the not Governor in refusing to affix his signature to oflj an act which, ii not passed for pure spite, was mj,| certainly intended to injure the local press of .Is the State.

He died of consumption an early age, leaving his entire estate to be fit in the erection of a Catholic .shurcta at ibeville. It is to him that the Catholics e the erection at Ahhevilleof the prettiest urch in ull this npeon n try. The Ircmigra>n craze that breaks out periodically in this untry, broke out in this town soon after the ir. A suliscription was presented to our ople to raise money to buy aj lot, with a L'w to building the cuurch and to inducing migrants to come this way. The money, foscrihed,$200, was chiefly by the Protestis. The lot was bought and remained vani until Enright's death, when he left his ate to build the church. In so far as induei immigrants the eftort was a failure. I.l.AN'T SOI.IUKK WIIOSi: NAME IS KOKCJOTTKX. tobert N. Chatham, stepson of K.

He received the apintmentof election commissioner to Wash<ton,ana this with other assistance assured < graduation. He volunteered into tlie netcciith Regiment. Was made Orderly rceain, and afterward elected captain ol (j Company. He and Kdward Noble were e ablest and best educated men in the Iiegirnt, and their merits were recognized by h higher oflicers. Chatham was killed one ihl about thirty miles from Atlanta. Ill* illlaut mind, and his well rounded eharac made hi* death peculiarly sad. JLe was c subject of an ace.ideut or the victim of a iiel and wicked design. During the darkss. while facing the foe, a shot rang out in i! night. captain Chatham was fitally Minded. The shot was sup|??sed to be by e ol our own men. In the eflort to ferret t. the nerpotrator, the company was parted soon alter. The gun of one soldier was lpty and bore evidence of having been reutly discharged. When faced will) it, lit nutted that his gun was aecidently fired, lere was no proof to the contrary. In the life and death of Robert Chatham we ive a lesson, and an example of our evanes nt existence. Although he was young, edu ted, brilliant, and hopeful; although he whs rrect in his morals and energetic, in his ibits. yet he was cut. oown?the subject ol i accident?and his name in thirty years, is ikdowi) in ine lanu 01 ms mrm. ne ten > kindred to sing his praise and bis friends rget to speak of itis valor.
