The Press and Banner. BT HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Published every Wednesday at $2 a year iu advance. Wednesday, July 24, 1895. ( eoirraphlcHl Politicx. About the poorest politics on the face of the earth Is that which is based on geography. As far as our memory serves us we have heard of, and know of. no man who was competent for position to urge objection to his competitor on account of the home in which he lived. Abbeville county Is a small body politic, and because some of her ablest lawyers live at Abbeville, where their profession calls them, we learn that men of little minds and totally lacking in the intelligence and ability which are necessary to make an impress on the Constitution are objecting to the election -oi competent and efficient men to the Convention. simply because they live at Abbe vllle Court House. to say tnat bucd a course Is contemptible is to put It mildly. Sucli a course Is evidently for no higher purpose than that of electing men to the Convention who are notably aud admittedly inferior, simply because the Inferior men live in some remote corner, and possess the requisite amount of , subserviency to be a regular "jumplug jack," for some little politician who stands behind the curtain and pulls the string. Let the voter act from his own best judgment, and do his own thinking for once. If a candidate, or bis friends, object to a competent competitor simply because he lives at Abbeville, just enquire within your own mind for the motive, and don't let them palm off anybody's "Jumping jack" for a real man. A Jumping Jack, who Is moved by somebody,! behind the curtain, pulling the string, or a Parrot, who utters only the sentiments which he Is taught to speak, will be worth nothing to anybody In the State Convention. Instead of being an honor to Abbeville county they will make the Droudest of all the counties an object of ridicule, or the subject of jest. We have heard none of the speeches at any of our meetings, and have no authentic account of any of them, but we ask sensible and patriotic men to consider well the speechea and take into account the renl merits of the different candidates. Heretofore in some instances certain politicians, who had little to recommend themselves have resorted to the dirty trick of appealing to the' prejudices of the people as against the more competent competitors who might live at Abbeville. As snch appeals, we believe, are seldom or never mnde by men who are worthy to represent Abbeville county, we hope that our people will for once forget prejudice and act for their own best interests. The people of a county are judged by the men who speak for them in representative bodies. Ran through the list of candidates, if you please. Compare the ability of the candidates from Abbeville with that of the ability of those whoassall them merely because they live at Abbeville and are true to every part of the county. The candidates from Abbeville are R. R. Jiempnm, J. u. iviugn, w. c. Jicuuwaui Frank B. Gary. They are lawyers and men of ability. Tbey are the equals of any men on the list, and they are vastly superior to any man who appeals to the people to vote against them merely because they live at Abbeville village. The truth is, the fact of their ability Is the real objection to them. Nobody has said a word of their lack of ability?all that is urged against them is, that their home is at Abbeville. No man has denied that any one of them is the peer of any other man in the race. Below the surface is just two good and substantial reasons for objecting to the election of the ablest men on the Iist: 1st. Their superiority to the men whooppose them. 2nd. Their fidelity to Abbeville county in refusing to cut it to pieces at an unsuitable time. Why is this question of new counties Kft I0.0# enitk on. n|iiuu( at iuc inoi 111 uuicu i> . uj ouwu parent self-abnegation on the part of Greenwood f On the surface it would seem that the town of Greenwood has no candidates, but will anybody deny that she has candidates from Ninety-Six, Bradley. Coronaca, and Honea Path who are a unit against Abbeville? It seems a plan through which men with a little sense and some reason might see. There 16 no doubt a sentiment abroad which demands new court houses, but this is no time to enter Into a local scramble. The Constitution should be^for the whole State, and not constructed for the benefit of those who seek to establish Conrt Houses. The local legislation of the General Assembly has been carried to ereat extremes. To lower a Constitution to a local partisan docuument is a proposition which should not be entertained for a moment. This Is a time when every citizen should be striving unselfishly to send the best men to onr convention. It is unfair to seize upon such a moment to make the constitution a partisan document. If the proposition to cut this county in two Is a worthy one, its promoters need have no r<.n?. Tk> nwnlo mill Jn Iho rlnht llilnn tl It Ik right to divide, it will be done, but nobody 6hould want to take snap Judgment. It would be unfair to elect men to the Convention who would cut off Lownctesvllle, HoneaPatb, aud McCormick from the possibility of ever becoming a county seat. If this Convention does not cut the county in two it is possible that all or either of these places may be at some time the centre of prosperous little counties. Then why throttle them in a noble ambition ? The fact that this question ot dividing the counties so that Lowndesville, Donalds and McCormick could never be Court House towns speaks of the unfairness of the proposition. If it bad been intended to treat these towns fairly why was the quastion not openly and fairly discussed in public. If It was Intended to give McCormick, Lowndesville and Donalds a fair chance, is it susceptible of proof that any of the Greenwood advocates have ever said a word in that way. The people love fair play. The great public heart will do right, if it is made aware of the facts. All the candidates advocate a reduction of the area, and that is as far as the State Convention should go. It should not be sought to make it a partizau and untair body. It should reDreseni the whole Deonle. and it should allow ub to settle our own little disputes. In alter years, the question of establishing new counties cau be determined according to the equities. Donalds, or llonea Path, Lownvilie and McCormick, as well as Oreenwood can then become a Court House town. Let Abbeville county divide fairly. If she is going to give up her territory, let her make a proper divide. As it is, Greenwood wants to reduce us to the lowest limitand come within a lew inilesof Abbeville Couit House for territory. That proposed line was made without consulting the people of Abbeville, and they being a party should have some rights. Bk sure to go to the polls next Tuesday, and vot? against the dismemberment of Abbeville County by the State Convention. It Is now proposed to ask the Convention to divide the Couuiy, without the consent ot the people. j1 "Leader*" Out of a Job. South Carolina to-day has perhaps more "leaders" out of a job t han can he found elsewhere. A We have "leaders'" everywhere and we have in every county oJ the state self-conceited citizens who imagine they are much purer and holler than their neighbors. ? But South Carolinians are the poorest fol- t| lowers ot any people on the face of the globe. p All these puritanical, self-righteous, "bet* p ter-than-thou" leaders, who are too good to be * classed frith their white neighbors, seem to ^ be totally and absolutely without endorse- v* ment from anybody. They have kicked and kicked until they can a lead nobody, and when they propose any- ai thing, or assume to bulldoze anybody, it P seems that the people understand that to be jj the signal for doing something else than is nrrifirerl bv these "lpjiderK." The "leaders" of the State, and their little "me-too's," who never had a thought of their ai own, except as they gathered from somebody else, are In a most ludicrous condition. They neither "lead'" anybody nor represent the ti public sentiment of the communities In * which they exist, liut they may have the t, satisfaction of feeling ihat they are better ? and purer than the mass of the people, and *j console themselves with the thought that p they are living In advance of the age. E If we were to make a criticism ol the press of the State, we would suggest that too many ji of them are playing for the gallery, or seek- u ing popularity more than the declaration ol a! personal convictions. The Reform press having appealed more to the ignorances and prejudices of the people than to their better sense of right and wrong. TbeAnti press in like manner having failed to fairly discuss public issues,while they have labored to belittle their y fellow-citizens, and to prejudice them in pub- V lie esteem. For instance: The refunding of the public Kl debt was not a question of politics. It was one in which the public welfare was involved. J? But despite this fact tbe Anti press in many f( instances sought to besmirch tbe good name of tbe State in tbe hope of defeating p. meas- ^ ure which was of such vital consequence to fa the people. tl Again: Tbe dispensary law was enacted aB a substitute, or compromise, for the demand y of tbe people for prohibition. Every conceiv- al able devise has been resorted to for the pur- P| pose of creating public sentiment against it. The officers, who were to enforce the law have ol been verv much abused Dersonally. or P. -V - - - . LI else tbelr official action bus been stated with q; tbe clear design of making the law odious. On tbe other hand, the wilful violators ol the law have not been censured, but have l{ been either directly or indirectly protected P and encouraged in tbe violation of tbe law. ei All kinds of ridicule and personal dislike tt for men whose only sin was tbe securiDg of Ci Ll office has been put forward daily. ** Such action has greatly weakened the oppo- pi sltion of tbe honest and right thinking Con- *1 servativesof the State, until now the follow- " ing of those who utter their contempt for tbe al Democratic party have almost no following. Their efforts to induce any considerable number of decent people to quit political af- h filiation with the Democratic party will fall. The great public heart has very little confl- Q1' dence in politicians who lack stability, and ei who will not remain loyal, even if their pet wishes are defeated for a time. lQ As far as Abbeville county is concerned it seems to us that tbe kickers, or Democratic f deserters, will scarcely number a corporal's q, A KKot?H la /tAiintv iu nrvl o nrnfit nhlp <> t field for political deserters, and every man 01 who respects public opinion, or who expects public favor at the ballot box, will likely remain true and loyal to the Democratic party. A The threat of the great host of defeated p, "leaders" to organize themselves Into some pi kind of a boomerang or infernal machine has =>f no terrors for our people. The sooner the * whole lot oi such people organize the better it for all of us. Every man who Is not a Democrat at heart, whether he is Niggerite, Popu- ^ list, Anarchist or Republican, should quit the hi party at once, so that we may know them, V and so that they may no longer be disturbing r{ factors. An open honest euemy Is better than tl an unreliable friend. X' VJI ? > mm w Candidate for the Convention. ^ I The Honea Path Chronicle, of which Mr. ai |L. C. Branyon is one of the editors, of last cl week contained the following announcement in response to a call of citizens ot lower Anderson county. [ Mr. L. C. Branyon, Editor Honea Path Chronicle. Dear Sir: At the earnest soliclta- a| Hon OT' your friends ot lower Anderson wi county, we a number of citizens ask that you tl come before the people as a candidate for the ,j Constitutional Convention. We believe that young men of ability and strong character l8 should always be ready to serve their coun- t try. Announce yourself Immediately and w enter the race. Yours, etc., Citizens. (u In reply to this private note, I return jj sincere thanks to my friends for the honor Ul of their conlldence, and I hereby announce b( mvself as a candidate for the Constitutional Convention subject to the action of the ?j Democratic party in the primary election. Be JuNt. ^ It seems that no man ought to seek to take ai advantage of a man's misfortune. This seems, however, to be true of General Hemp- bi hill's enemies, who are taking advantage ol his present sickness to injure him "in theelec- 8 tion.y Generel Hemphill has been in bed lor ten days. WLen we saw him last Monday | evening we regarded him as a very sick man. The voter, with a spark of manhood in him, should not forget him because of the Provl- \ dential misfortune that has befallen him, or desert blm because his enemies would persecute a sick man. bi a | a HI Excursion lo Atlanta. Lost Thursday an excursion train went from Greenwood to Atlanta, carrying a large rj company from Abbeville. They came back on Friday. We learn that there was drunk- la enness and disorder on some of the coaches. st A large number of boys are said to have been yi drunk on the return trip. T I - - - v.... Si r rom past, experiences u occm w up. ium uc. cent people ought to go on these excursions Ui very seldom. It is usually better not to go sl than to go In disorderly compauy. tl _ se " " e: The majority of the white people should J.' govern. For this reason vote against the for- lv matiou of a new county by the State Uonven- o< tlon without first ascertaining the will of the people. _ _ Si " * " c( There is no use of grumbling and slaying away from the polls next Tuesday. If you " disfranchise yourself it is your own fault. a| f. ? ? ? le There is no politics In this election?no Tillman nor Antl-Tlllman Issue. The question 21 is, are you willing to cut Abbeville County to pieces. Ai,i, Democrats are Invited to vote next Tuesday. You needn't look up your reglstra- >1 tlon ticket.

Her j Salubrious Air. Iditor Press and Banner: Thin has been an interesting day for tio*e of our citizens within the bounds of the roposed new county of Greenwood, and es-1 ecially so to those living within thecorpor- ] te limits of the town of Greenwood, which is > be the county seatof new county when they el it. What nave special Interest to this day ras the fact that it was the day set apar'u for je candidates tor the Constitutional Convenlon to give expression to their views on the liferent questions of importance which will ssuredly come up u.i consideration by that ody. Not least umouc which. In the eyes of je average Green woodite, will be that reJatir to the formation of new counties. Judging from the interest which many of lem manifest in the matter of the selection f candidates for the Convention, one would jnclude that in their opinion, the question s to whether or not they are to have their aunty depends on who Is sent from this aunty to that Convention. ? uu n. u w rvn uui iuai it maj uicu iuia,u . ion to endeavor to have the Convention proide for the formation of the county of Greenood as did the last Constitulioal Convention 1 the case of the county of Oconee? I rejernber that a way back in tne seventies, hen the "line Italian hand" of the shrewd, rnrp and wily Judge T. J. Mackey was being layed in political manipulations, a di.stinHished politician of that day admouished is table constituency to "watch Tom." It might be well enough for some people 1st at this juncture in ihelraflairs to "watch" reenwood?keep an eye on her polticians, j s? For ways that are not slow, And tricks that are wily. Commend me to friends Jo Simmons and Tom Kiley. There were nine of the fourteen candidates >r the Convention present, to-wlt: W. C. IcGowan, F. B. Gary, T. \V. Graham, L. C. ranyon, R. F. McCasian, H. J. Kinard, E. W. 'atson, D. H. Magill and J. B. Hoillway. Ail ol these made short speeches In wbich ley defined their position on the following abjects, viz: Tne homestead law, the constitutional levy >r school purposes, the suffrage question, and le matter ot the reduction of the area In the >rraation of new counties. They were all in favor of the perpetuation of te homestead law as It now is; favored a con.ltutional tax for public schools; were in tvor of such measures being Incorporated in le Constitution as would guarantee white ipremacy, but none suggested any plan by hlch tbat could be done, except perhaps Mr. ranyon, and his plan was extra constitutionI, and one that I imagine not many of our eople would care to act upon, except as a arnler ressort. They were unanimous in favor of reduotion f the area necessary to the formation of ew counties. Some of them being willing lat the minimum be fixed at 250 square i lies. The question as to whether or not they ould oe willing to leave tho matter ol the ew counties exclusively to the voters of the irrilory embraced within the lines of the roposed new county was categorically put to ich of the candidates. They all, so far as we understood, said ley would not, except Graham, Kinard, Moaslan and Watson. These four, of course, lougbt the matter should be left alone to the oters embraced within the lines of the proased new coun ty. Perhaps the fact tbat tney II live within the lines of the proposed new >unty of Greenwood, had something to do lth their favoring such an unreasonable and asurd proposition. But perhaps I have said enough about the institutional Convention and the candidates lerelor, so I will devote the remainder ol this urrled communication to other subjects.

A day or so later while Mrs. Tharp and ol- ^ her little eight-year old son, Odell, were in pre, tbe lot an infuriated cow sprang at Odell toss- ,g ^ lng blm twice Into tbe air and against a barb- ^eg ed wire fence, painfully bruising and gashing asiL him. Mrs. Tharp shrieking started to the res- e[ec cueot her son, when the cow sprang at her, lecl knocking her to the ground with her turned- 1^1 in horns. After she haa fallen to the ground aDd the cow attempted to gore her and in doing so stamped on her shoulders seriously Injuring ,he her.
