The Press and Banner. Tl BY HUGH WILSON, ABBEVILLE, S. C. lb, CO . ar st ^ Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. in th Ten Pages. *j ?\V - ae -Wednesday, March 4, 1896. ^ ' en iM??????? ra jj Or ConrMC. M Not so long ago four white men in (Jolle^^H County went to the bouse of some who were charged with stealing a took two women and one man out^HlH^H house on a cold night. wHQ The negroes were stripped of their ci^^NMH and beaten with buggy traces. One^^^BK negroes died on the spot. Another walkl^^^^B t . a short distance and fell dead. Tliethird^UH so badly beatea that it was thought she wo^H die, but she recovered. Tbe guilt of the accused was proved beyon^HH the shadow of a doubt and yet it is possiblc^B that there were men in South Carolina who^, were foolish enough to think the white per th petrators of the unprovoked murder wouid bo punished. Whatever induced them to think that these qc murderers would be treated differently from ih the iOther white murderers of negroes is ud_ knqjta to ui, ed '^he l^gtwenty years hundreds of lie- ao fiD /have t^n slain by white men in South ^iroeM:Da If half dozen of them have re- of jf t aro/ed any otfjer punishment than the ex- sfc y celyse Incident to the farce of the trial we have ^ pei}gotten the fact. be ^For wicked cruelty the Colleton murders exceed any murder yet committed. They ^ took their victims out of their houses in tbe cc / night time and stripped them of their cloth- Wl / ing when the g^und was frozen, and beat l0 ' their flesh with buggy traces until it was w / pulp. ? / Notwithstanding this act was as heinous as 5, , any act of cruelty which has been lately com- be < mitted against the Armenians by tbe Turks? |? ' and at which we hold up our bands in holy ro horror?yet It is true that such acts go unpun- ps lshed Id the State of South Carolina. The negroes were poor and friendless, with no strong se arm to strike back at cowardly assassins, th With no courts to protect their lives and to 01 guard their rights they must submit to every D! outrage. j?1 White men fill our jury boxes, and of course ' j no white Jury will convict a white man for so .{C slight an offense as that of shooting a negro tb in tbe back or the taking of him out of his "t( house at night and whipping him to death. t,( Down in Aiken County a negro was lynched lb last week for Intimacy with a young womaD Like all women who get Into trouble, she was be pretty and highly respectable. When it was fa found out that she had been intimate witb negro men, they lynched the one ihey caught til and are looking for another. The woman is said to be in a delicate condition, which fact, we believe, precludes ibe possibility of vio, ' lence. Their Chief Business. Cc sU t From the big advertisements and cons aut cr puffing by some of the country press, it would seem that tbelr chief aim is to solicit subscriptions for city papers. an Tbe Press and Banner certainly does not object to any country brother engaging in such a laudable business as that of disseminating wholesome reading matter among tbe J people, but we think the country editor who assumes to take charge of the subscription at business of any city paper hurts himself. * It Is better to exert one's whole energy on S his own paper. J Following the example set by Captain Daw- ? son of the News and Courier many years ago, j?s aw-. j?|l? tllc 11 MeeuiH iunv, txn a iuio, vuc u??jj |/?vq? -? 2 State have never exhibited any considerable eel degree of respect or much friendship for the 1 country press. ce^ ? Ht Notable Change. jUi The method of reporting the proceedings of ( the Legislature in the daily press has of late undergone a notable change. The Press and s Banner does not know to whom to give the honor for Inaugurating the present plan of j dealing fairly with the members, but the pub- pe lie are grateful for the change. In former "! years the reports were largely made of re- h0 ports of Charleston and Columbia members of the General Assembly. For a season, as far as we have no- , tlced, the country members have been fair* ce] ly reported and the city members have not y monopolized the reports. It is a most grati- do fying condition of affairs when the great city g? dallies treat the country people with respect> , - . pli ( Score One for Atlautn. i As a rule, we believe Atlanta is a most unsatisfactory place with which to deal. Our ^ experience is that the business men there can all think of more ways to annoy you than any col other, but last week we found a firm which acted promptly and charged reasonably. y , , , sel tic Welcome Back. ( Mr. W. H. Arnold, of Cokesbury, who Is so ^ well and so favorably known to our people, Kj and who stands high with the post office an- j thorlties, was in town last Sunday. Helslo- tm cated In Atlanta, and stands flrst-class with ^ the government officials. ha Extra In order to give our readers good accounts of the proceedings of the Legislature we have been sending out extra pages, tilled with live t)g matter. We hope that you have read It in a f the past and will read it in the future. KD Cuba. j Koth houses of Congress have passed resolu- Po tlons affirming the right of the Insurgents of 1 Cuba to be recognized as belligerents. Let the people give thanks to the Hon. I. H. McCalla for the act requiring Insurance com- J panies to pay what they promise in case of loss by fire. lat [ ' , , m gai This Legislature has stood up squarely for j the dispensary law, although the liquor men ? were not without friends. / # a _ Sn AMONGST US AGAIN. p* Honored Home Folk Return to Former Pleasant Scene*. yo Judge Cothran and Mrs. Cotbran came JV down Jtom Greenville last week on a short stay.

Abbeville needs a laundry, and some or our energetic and wide-awake young men should get up a company, and start the machinery, we need clean linen even worse than we need ladders and buckets.

This is to be deplor I and it is to be hoped that in their more ber moments they may reflect and submit tbe powers that be. I talked on Saleday a good many persons from ditlerent parts the county, and they seem not to undersod tbe proposed new plan ; they seem to ink It is a terrible thing. I think that hen they see more of It they will then think .'tier of the plan. I have talked with the Supervisor about the jwpian; be says that the reason he ad votes the plan Is that in some parts of the mnty the roads have not been properly orked. TheTownshlpCommlssloner would )t eniorce me taw, ana (,um ue uuu uu ??? make them do their duly. I fall to see here he has any more law or authority In e new plan than be had In the old. I have Iked with the township commissioner from annald about the plan. I asked him how ! wonld enforce the law, or if he could enrce It. He said he had the money to do with. I asked him how ruany bad paid the ad tax ; he said about one thousand had ild In the county, which gives two thousand jllare. I remarked that Donnaids share ol at; amount would not pay ber hired overer. What he said would convince any one at they bave undertaken a big thing with it much study. I also heard the township commissioner ol lamond Hill say that be was willing to ork on any plan that bis people wished and im satisfied that Diamond Hill wants the d plan. I think the old system is best or a* >oa as any, if it was enforced. I also Xhlnk lat a man that is so much of a politician as )t to enforce the one will not enforce tbe her. 1 bave learned that this system will : adopted througbt the "Piedmout Belt" ol >is Slate, with a few exceptions, and I would y that Capt, Lyon has blazed out a new >ad.

Sometime since we were invited to a small gathering at the home of a friend. One of the guests were to come on a train from a neighboring town. After hearing the whistle of the engine 5 we went out on the porch to await her arrival. Soon we saw her passing up a neighboring street, carrying a large and heavy carpetbag, while a feeble old lady, poorly dressed, was walking by hei side. "That is just like Grace," said the hostess; "she has found that old woman at the depot, and is lending her a hand." So it proved. This young girl was beautiful, talented, and accomplished. Yet she was not ashamed to be seen s carrying the burden and acting as a ? guide for the aged and poor. Many lae dies of far less position and culture would have been horrified at the very e suggestion. r In conversation afterwards we found p that this little act was but an index finger pointing tr> her whole life. She not only enjoyed helping people who ? need help, but made it the rule of [I her life every day she asked God to e to give her an opportunity to lift some 8 burden. And her burden bearing was , done in such a modest way that the burden bearer neverseemed prominent. "Helping people" the Christian should look upon not in the cold light of a duty merely, but as a blessed privilege which pays abundantly. This is g In harmony with the saying of the t Lord Jesus that it is more blessed to fe give than to receive. - Estate of J.
