m iiThe Press and Bannei BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. / ^"Published every Wednesday i $2 a year in advance. Wednesday, Aug. 28, 1895, Wlint Stiiill We Do? The Evening News departs from its usu dignified course in dealing with the Clemsi College affair. We know nothing of the merits of the que tlous at issue, but we do not believe there a 'contemptible curs'' in Clemson College, n< do we believe there are in that lustltutU "any child of the devil" or any "emissai of hell." All these are strong terms which we a sorry to see in any newspaper. We do not believe that "any u worthy wretch" has received the favors the Trustees of Clemson College. Hut the questiou really at issue is a que tion of veracity between Mr. F. II. McMasti and the College people, and whether M McMaster should give the names of his infc mantson whose statements certain artlcl were written. No man who knows Fitz Hugh McMast will doubt his truthfulness or integrity, ar so that pari of the question can be dismisse The question about which there may I diitereuce of opinion is, whether McMast should give the names of his informants. We should say that he should n< give the names. As a journalist he ca not afford to give the names. He need n< 'w' - ?-< - r u give me names an a ucicuoc y>i >? ?. ... needs do defense. But we are sorry to see in another part the Kvening News the following paragrapl Mr. F. H. McMaster stated in the Gove nor's office, in the presence of several gentl men, that he had received letters from h Informants at Clemsou College in which ot of them uses this language: "For God's sak for my sake, and the sake of my loved one don't give my name." From another: ' was present at the mass meeting aDd deuic haviDg furnished you the Information, b cause when I gave it to you it was in strii confidence,and I did not know you were reporter." While these may not be the exa< words, ihe substance is correct. This, according to our way of thinking r veals the ouly shadow over McMaster's a tlon. It seems that he published matters whic were told him in "strict confidence," whe his informant "did not know be was a r porter." Asa newspaper man should not give tl noma nf Mb Infnrmnnt un ho chnillf] nn(. nil ?w ?V rHuh that which he receives in confidence. In publishing facts which were Imparted I , confidence he did wrong. But because a man bears news in con dence is no reason why the news should n be published II he previously or afterwar learn the same thing from some one els He can publish tne news based on the infc ination received of others. ^ Sometime a reporter is not justified in gi lng the source of his Information. If he r celve it in "strict confidence'' he is not Just fied in publishing such.iuformation. He ca run it down and learn it from another sourc and then publish it. Just you keep silent, Mr. McMaster. L. an investigation prove whether the allegi facts exist at Cleinson. Nobody doubts yoi ?< ' veracity. Ninety-Six and the Registration Book. Upon examining the Registration book fi Ninety-Six precinct, we find in the sac book, with three blank sheets after the nam of the voters of Ninety-Six precinct, tl names of the "Voters frotn While Hall, wl vote at Nlne-ty-Six precinct." , The Registrar, in compliance with tl requirements of law gave citizens White Hall township tickets to vo at Ninety-Six. Their nameR were enter< separately from the names of the citizens Ninety-Six precinct. Because of the failu of the managers to see the list of "voters fro White Hall," their votes were refused. E cause of that refusal the Ninety-Six box w thrown out by the County Board of Canvt sers. And so this is all there Is in all th great huilabullo about the registration boob There is no ground for any attempt to mai capital against a most faithiul officer. Kegl trar Carwile did his duty,and tried to accon modate the voters of White Hall in givln them tickets to vote at Ninety-Six, as they d sired, and no blame should attach to the ma: agers for their oversight. This is one of tho occurrences that sometimes happen, and f< which no one Is especially censurable. Tlie Defeat of Judge Wallace. There is some howling and gnashing teeth because or the defeat in Union of Jud| Wallace who run as an Independent for tl State Convention. The Press and Banner yields to no man 1 personal respect for Judge Wallace, but if 1 ran as an Independent, expecting to be electc by a few white kickers and a multitude uegro radicals he deserved to be beaten. No man Is good enough, and no man's cha acter Is high enough, to merit a place In tl State Convention who does not go before li white fellow-citizens for the same. We are always glad of the defeat of any I dependent, and as far as we now recollect, i successful Independent has ever acqultfc himself with credit or satisfaction to blmse It would, in our opinion, have injured Jud| Wallace to appear before the State Conve tlon as an Independent. The idea of tl Speaker of the Wallace House turning Ind penden is not to be considered. We don believe that Judge Wallace encouraged tl placing of his name on the Independe ticket. v But whether he did, or did not, we glad th he was defeated, as an Independen t. lump * imiun uuu ?rinu>, To show how the public are swindled la t purcheselof pianos and organs we copy t following circular, which was sent to this < flee by Daniel F.

I , i "The Colored Knre in ilio^Soiilli."; ' ; We see in tbe Sunny South n most inter? i esting article by Walter I,. Miller, Esq., of the ' Abbeville Bar, on the above subject. ; He sees In the race, great progress, indus* J ? | trlally and flnancliilly, and says the same Is | ! true of iheir growth in education. He be-! ! lieves also that they have made great prog-< wi ? ress ia morals and religion. He seems to dis- j ? ! approve of Northern intervention iu poll- iD at tics as between the whites.and blacks iu the |South. _ To all ot the above we fully agree. w But when he talks of the negroes' iudifler- tta , j ence in political matters, and when he thinks m ? j that the negro has abated one Jot or one tittle of his political hatred of the white man, we Hi J think the recent election would refute the ^ al intimation. ,n We see no reason why the negro should not ?r [progress in education. At a liberal and fair R. j estimate the white people of this county have re! contributed for their education about one tn or j hundred thousand dollarsslnce emancipation, >n [ Tlie uuer ana aosoiuie iumj ui ium B, ry diture by the white people is proven by the ! fact that they voted solidly against the Demre j ocratic party in the election last week, the pr j said Democratic party being composed of the lo n. j white people who have contributed so much hj of! to their education. u, 1 We deny that the negroes are disposed to ,s.

In whatever we say, we mean no unklnd>kk to the negro. The files of this paper will ove that we have no ill-will to him. The l'ress unci Banner believes that the I tiite people of South Carolina should learn j lesson from the conduct of the uegroes in ! e last campaign, even if they fail to be I jured by their vote in thegeneral election. In 1SC5 the new constitution with us educa >nal provisions went into effect. It was argued on every side, and every-j here, that education would cure nearly all j e Ills from which we were suffering. Many of the best and most conscientious en in the Suite advocated the most liberal :pendltures of money lor the education of e negro. They believed that education oukl make the negro not only a good citlen, but a friend to the white man, Then iu the hope of gaining the confidence id good will of the negroes, the State of >nth Carolina has expended largesumsof oney every year for their education. The first few years almost the entire school X, WHICH rMIIRCU IIUIU iuicc IV/ nciiu >u?ia i the taxable property, was paid for the edition ot the negro, and, as rule, paid to neo teachers. Id 1873, some of the white people had come their senses, aud the uniform constitutionschool tax was fixed at two mills, with iviiese, however, of increasing where the calitiea desired. Every year since 18CS, great sums of money is been paid by white people for the educa ?n of the negroes. in Abbeville County alone, we presume in e last twenty-seven years, something like a indred thousand of dollars has been paid r negro education. The fact is, that many of the negroes are ell educated. The white people's money has given emoyment to the negro teachers, and the hools have given fine opportunities for the ucation of the children of their race. Fhe Press and Banner believes that no man Abbeville county will deny any one of the ove propositions. Sow as to the result and the practical workgs of the Insane Idea that we could make ilitlcal friends of the negro. Have not all the educated negroes gone nsti UB? Did not the Ministerial Union of Columbia base their churches to the level of political ibs for tho purpose of defeating the white Did not hundreds of negro preachers all er the country follow the example of the ilumbla negro preachers? Did not hundreds of negro preachers deseite their holy temples by taking up collec>ns within their sacred precincts for the bent of lilrling lawyers that they might ,rry and annoy their benefactors and the cent people of South Carolina? Did they not do all this for the purpose of erthrowiug white supremacy In South Carina, aud lu the hope of securing negro rule? Did they not do all this for the purpose of ivatiug themselves to political office, or for i/ing tbe same to dirty, scurvy white men tio had been repudiated by their own race? Did any educated negro in all of South Carina show hlR gratitude to his white nelgbrs by voting with them in the election last ;ek? . Did a single negro in Abbeville County, ow his appreciation'of the expenditure of a indred thousand dollars by the white peoe for the education of his race? No. Not a single negro voted with the bite people In Abbeville County. i\ case in point. A negro teacher, who has awn the public money every year all his e lor teaching negro children, we are told, is most conspicuous at one box in having < o negroes vote against the white people. N'ow, we submit that evidence of baser inatltude is not on record in any country on e face of the earth, than is proven by the lion of the negroes during the last few onths. Id their united effort to defeat the ople who have befriended them. We assert, without fear of successful con- 1 idlctlon, that it is now the duty of all selfspecting white men to withdraw their taxes 1 >m the support of negro schools. 1 Let the ftiaie tonveuuou wuiuu id uu*t out to assemble, provide liberally for tbe ucatlon of all tbe children of the State. Let that body provide, too, that every tax yer answer on his tax return to tbe Auditor aether be wants bis money expended for e education of tbe children of bis own race, whether he wants it spent In warming an der to send Its poisonous sting to tbe heart his benefactor. rhe white people of South Carolina have isted millions of dollarB In trying to make ends of tbe negro. We all see that as Ills education Increases, id that as he assumes to have more religion s hatred of the white man is more appant. Let the Convention provide a remedy for e evil which has afflicted us In the paBt. >t. each race educate their own cbllaren. in't lax the white people to educate our poleal enemies. That Iniquity has gone lar ough, and he that cannot nee that we have rown away our money Is either blinded to e best interests of white people, or else he is a very deep interest in the negro.

The Conservative* Have 40 Membei and the Republicans 6?'Two Carle From the 'OS Convention Will ti Delegate**. The State. The interest of the people of the State now centered upon the eighth Constitution convention that the State has ever bad wbie is to assemble in the hall of the House of Re reseDtatlves here exactly two weeks from t morrow at tbe hour of high noon, to be cailc to order by Secretary of State Tompkln The convention is now practically at ban and any Information preliminary to tbe a sembllng of the convention is read with lnte est by the people. The election for delegate to the convention has been held and at pre ent it looks as if there will be no contests i any of the counties. Secretary Tompkli has not yet appointed tbe time for tbe asset bling of the State board of canvassers to cai vnsB the returns and declare tbe results In tl several VUUUIICS, UUL I UC ir* ?T IC^UIICO uuau >1 meeting fball be held wltblu fifteen days aft the election. This meeting will scarce make any changes in tbe result. THE FACTIONAL STRENGTH. Below, therefore, the roll of delegates given. There are 160 delegates. Of these on 40 are Conservatives and elected rs such, at 0 are Republicans. All of the Republicai are negroes and they are the only negroes : tbe convention. There are in the conveutlo however, a great many very conservative R formers, bot if they vote with the Conservi tives, granting that tbe Conservatives vo soididiy, on important questions, there wl hardly be a sufficient number to defeat ac of the pet schemes of the leaders of dominai element. F.or this reason It may be safe predicted that the sessions of the couventic will not be very long unless a great deal time is consumed in talk. SIX NEGROES ONLY. Beaufort sends a solid Republican delegi tlon of 5 negroes, and Georgetown sends tt other Republican, who was elected on a cor promise ticket. WHENCE COME CONSERVAT1 VE$. Charleston was the only county in tbe Sta to send a solid Conservative delegation. Tt counties that send the Conservatives, electt on division-agreement tickets, are as followf Abbeville, Chester, Chesterfield, Colletoi Edgefield, Georgetown, Green ville.Hamgtoi xiurry, i^uxiugiuu, iuhhuuiu, licmugwu, iuu boro, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Rlcblan Sumter, Williamsburg and York.# THESE WERE IN THE '68 CONVENTION. It will be a matter of general interest I know tbat there will be only two members i this convention who sat in tbe last constlti tional convention in 18C8. They are Robe Smalls, tbe "Gullab Staesman,'1 and W. Whipper, both negroes. It may be interea lng, too, to know tbat the lastconvention w< called to order by Timothy Hurley, of Berl ley; that Senator J. T. Robertson,of thisclt; was made temporary chairman, and that A bert G. Mackey was president. There is great amount of speculation as to who will I made temporary chairman of the com In convention and as to who will be preslden The name of Congressman TAlbert is mei tloned in connection with both positions, i is also that of Speaker Ira ?. Jones. THE WORK OF THE CONVENTION. Much has been said as to what the con vei tion ought to and will do, but tbe foliowlc summary of Senator Tillman tbe other da pretty well covers the ground : "Tbe mal subjects to be discussed are suffrage, dlvorc schools and questions as to bow the cour shall be formed; whether the Judges are to t elected by tbe people or tbe Legislature." NOTABLE MEMBERS. Among tbe notable members of tbe coi vention will be Senator Tillman, Govern Evans. Congressman Talbert. ex-Congres man Geo. D. Tillman. Geo.

From Liverpool Against the Amerl chii Method of PaoklDK Cotton. New York. Aug. 23.?The Liverpool Cotto Association, the autocrat of the cotton worli >iii8 entered a strong objection to the Amer jan method of packing cotton. A letter ws received to-day by Superintendent Powers < the Cotton Exchange from the secretary < the Liverpool organization elating that tb association had passed a resolution that nfte the expiration of the coming season of 1S9M ail bales not packed Id accordance with tb regulations of the maritime convention hel In New Orleans last February and the resolt lions of the Galveston Cotton Exchange, ei peclally so far as the weight, closeness ( weaving, calendering of bagging and welgb and size of bandB are concerned, Bhall be sut ject to a penalty of five pounds a bale. Th latter adds Uiat sufficient time is given fc manufacturers to dispose of the old style car vas and ties, and the penalty will be strict! enforced. The New Orleans resolution provided that bale should be twenty-eight inches bo width and fifty-eight Inches box lengtli and all compressed bales have a mlnlmur ship-side density of twenty live pounds to th cubic foot.

Teddy'n I<e?Hcn. . "Come, Teddy," said Mrs. West "It'fc time for the cows to come home, But Teddy was reading a story abou a shipwreck, and did not want to b E disturbed just then. "O mother! Walt a little while," h said. A little later Hester came to the bad a door. "Teddy, you ought to get the cows sli0 s&id " e "Bother the cows !" replied Teddj crossly; and his sister went away. lH Soon a man's face appeared at th ai window. "Edward, get the cows!" said Mi West, and, when his father spoke lik >d that, Teddy lost no time in obeying. " Sulkily, he laid down his book an* ? walked through the kitchen, wher ir- his mother aud sister were cooking th eH supper and his father was piling u i?" the kindlingwood for the morning' is fire. "I hate cows !" Teddy grumbled, a he walked slowly across the pine flooi je "They are a bother, and I wish w er didn't have any. I wish nobody ha y any. Cows are no good, anywayjust in the way I. hate cows!" An hour later the cows were safe i 18 the barn at night, and Teddy was in $ better humor. He was hungry, to< is after the walk to the meadow and bac 10 in the fresh, bracing air. ' A fine round of meat was smokin a- on the table, but there was none o ft Teddy's plate. [y "This is beef," said Mr. West. " at did not give you any, because you hal >y cows, Teddy." Teddy opened hi $ mouth, and then closed it again witl out a word. "I won't give you any butter Tec dy." said Mrs. West, "because we g< Je our butter from the cows; and yo a- hate them so." Hester poured out th milk for the other children, but to Te dy she gave a glass of water. te "Cows are such a bother," said sh ie soberly, "I know you don't want an !<| milk." Teddy looked wistfully at the plate r a! cheese, but it was passed to ever "J- one but him. But, worst of all, wbe the custards were brought in, swee and brown in their little white cupi Teddy was passed by. "Of course, you wouldn't eat cuj a. tards, for they are made mostly c rt milk, and cows are no good." sai ? Aunt Hetty. m Teddy looked as if he would cry. t- "1?I haven't had anything to eat. y.' he blurted. "Just bread without au; a butter and potatoes and water. I wis >e I hadn't said those things about th cows." n. Everybody smiled then, aud no on ?s objected wheu Hester slyly passed t him a cup of custard. The Ant's Suspension Bridge. y You have heard of the suspensio bridges made by men. Now let m w tell you of a curious one made by som )e of the smallest creatures that live. Men use wire ropes, very strong but here are the driver ants of Africa 3- so small that you can hardly see then: }r Yet they do wonderful work at mat jl ing bridges without any rope. This is the way they go about ii One of the largest ants takes hold c the branch of a tree with its fore legs a" letting its body hang. Another climb a, down over the first one, and clings t his hind legs, letting his own bod, hang down. Then they beep on unti these bright little fellows form i ^ chain. Then away they go, swinging unti i- the end aut can get hold something r* usually some tree or shrub?and th n bridge is done! A regiment of ants go over this liv 5* suspension bridge. When all are wel ' over, the ant on the first tree lets g , brnnch and climbs over the string The next one follows'this example and pretty soon they all take thei d, places at the rear end of the marcbin company. These ants have big head; ' and they must have a good deal t y, brain to help them. 3. ?-? 3. Keep the Life Pnre. .t Once upon a time an Arabian prit c! cess was presenled by her teacher wit an Ivory casket, exquisitely wrough with the injunction not to open i q, until a year had rolled around.
