Wednesday, May 15, 1895. ? ______ > - - ? ? - ? p The Price* Asked. The directors of the recently organized cot- t ton mill company feel grateful to some indi- j' viduals for the reasonable prices a*?ced tor c Jauds upon which to locate the building, but ti id a majority of instances the prices have ? been high--In some instance they have beeo ,, very high. fi Those landowners who may expect the di- ? rectors to give exorbiant prices from the bard earned money of the stockholders will r be disappointed. * The fact is, a portion of the community are. from patriotic motives, trying to raise money t with which to build a factory, while some * landowners have asked very high prices for t land that will be worth very little, If the Jac- c tory Is not built. \ It is not yet decided on which road the factory will be built. Options have been receved J from landowners along the line of both roads< v As it matters little on which road the mil; 41 is built, it might be well for others who have 11 land to spare, and who are not desirous of recelving a high price for the same, to send li> their offers. ^ The directors want all the options sent in as t early as possible. Those who may wish to sell might ao wejj to give this matter their attention. They have a possible buyer in sight. 3 The directors, however, will not pay fancy L prices tor lands. b They have some very fair oflers, but they s want other and better offers. J Will We Be I'nitetl? Some people seem to think that Judge Gotl's decision agaiust the registration law will j have the effect of re-uniting the white people in a common cause for self protection. * The Press and Banner does not partake of r this view. We believe the same spirit animates the hearts of the "outs" today that | prompted citizens to bolt the Democratic j nomination in 1890, and we believe that r 1 large per cent, of the same men will look to * the negroes in 1693 for their election to office. d We believe that no no negro will vote with the Tillmanltes, and that every negro who jj votes for a wnue man, win voie iur tuc r>un ers or Independents at the approaching elec- < tlon. We believe that there are a few men in J South Carolina who would prefer to see the t negroes restored to power if they or their ' friends or kindred cannot hold the offices. ? If tramps, strangers, Georgians and other c foreigners are allowed to vote?and vote as s often as they please?the negroes may elect J whomsoever they please. j , _ i t Republican Killings. 1 Judge Goff, Republican Judge, came down t from West Virginia last week to make some I decisions in favor of his friends, the negroes, ^ and against his enemies, the white people. He was faithful to the trust imposed upon him, and had much to say about the iniquity of the registration law of South Carolina. There can be no question that Judge Cotf is very much interested in behalf of the negroes. { He said something about duly and inclina- * tion, and we have no doubt of his "inclina- ' tion" to give South Carolina a blow. J The Republican party at one time sent sol- ( diers aud bayonets to wrest this State from j1 Jhe bands of white the man. Now the Re- t publican courts are called upon to aid as far sis possible in restoring the colored man to 1 power in South Carolina. The soldiers were successiui. w nemer ^ Judge Goff can restore tbe old days of good ^ stealing remains to be seen. e s The Cotton Factory. g Tne directors of tbe Cotton Factory met f yesterday evening. The officers were electeu t without nominations. The result was as foi- * lows: % President?J. C. Klugli. Vice President?ti. A. Visanska. ? Treasurer?W. H. Parker. Tbe meeting was perfectly pleasant and v harmonious. Tbe prospects seem fair. Com- ( mittees were appointed. The subject of loca- t tion was discussed. The site has not yet been c selected, and It is not yet known on which ' railroad it will be put. Tbe price of lots will i prevent the locatiou on some of tbe places s which are suitable. The Directors will not c throw away their money. The Directors are putting up solid dollars, anu landowners may !" not sell their lands at too higb a price. They ' have too many offers. 1 Strike at the Dispensary. 1 r. tt. Judge Simonton last week held that the section of the dispensary law which for- J bids the shipment of liquor into the State by private individuals was violative of the Inter- j State Commerce Law. Now a citizen may or der liquor from another State if he feels so inclined. This ruling will likely have no perceptible effect on this dispensary. The Outlook. i ? l. il,? ti?cijuvuj OCCUJO auAivun IU IUUA IUIU tiic future to discern the good or tne evil that j may be In store for us. At the present It * would be a wise man who would confidently predict the result of Judge (Joft's decesion i against the registration law. If we are to A have an election without some qualification jj ol the electors?without a record of the vol- % Ing and the voters?the readers can predict c jresults as well as we can. a P. & P.-G. & G. v PeitntttA imuI l'iudnrs ? Goobers and c tirounil|(?HS. Th? Abbeville market has been greatly excited during the last week. For ages the goober market had not known a change. It iiad always been conservative and solid?nev?r rising or falling?always five cents a pint. But last week a change came over the old dream of the average goober eater. All of a .-Midden one dealer put out paper bags of pin dam. holding four quarts, and marked five cents for a gallon. This astonished the natives and stunned the staidold market places, i n a few days, however, the old dealers rallied, and put out their sign, offering five quarts for a nickel. The day following this extraordinary otter six quarts were offered for five cents. Then ten quarts in a crocus sack was offered. ' r< UNUSUAL VISITORS. h .% l'?vey ?( Farlriilte* iu Die \v JPnrk uit (be Public Square. Last Sunday about sundown a covey of par iridges lighted on the grass in the parK on the public square in Abbeville. When they took their flight they scattered a>mewhatgolng in ei a N'ortbernly direction. Most of them row w above the bouses, but one of them flew against K Mr. A. W. Smith's plate glass window and broke its head. One lighted on the branches tl of the water oak tree in front of the Press w and Banner office, and there made the plain- ij. tive call which partridges generally make H vi'hen separated from each other. For some Sime he called loudly and earnestly for his mate, which lay dead in front of Mr. Smith's -window, just across the street. His call at- Hl t raeted the attention of some boys who threw ?-ocks at him, with never a sympathetic a< thought tot his bereavement, and as the shades of evening thickened he tlew away, fiever to see hit mute again.

We think the journal will show that !"rawford took no active part in the dls< ilon after the first day, and the opposltloi he bill was principally led by Mr. Pari lupported by Messrs.

North Carolina authorities, who caused iio I Sevier ami others to he arrested for Jtreasou. They were never punished, laRl; however, and their enterprise of mak,.p.. ing a new State was realized later. In iiio-! 1789-90 that region was ceded by North i Carolina to the United States.
