Recently the Charleston Post said some- j thing that displeased the editor of the lieorge- j1 town Times. Upon discovering that exception had been taken, that paper promptly made amends. During the same week the Augusta Chronicle and the Newberry Herald and News exchanged pleasantries. These circumstances seem to point to a better and more pleasant time generally among the editors. While the goodwill of a country printing office may be of little or no commercial value to the city brother, yet it is more pleasant if even the very greatest newspaper observes the externals of politeness towards the least pretentious brother. There is nothing in the editorial profession which necessarily puts the editor's conduct at variance with the rules of courtesy and gentility that > usually marks the intercourse be. tween gentlemen In the ordinary walks of life. The contention is, that a man may be an editor and a gentleman, too. Speaking for the Tress and Banner, we do not expect friendship from many of the daily euuors, oui we ime 10 see mem pome iooiqers. Tbe Instances referred to are pleasant Indeed to one who is not more interested than a casual reader. Tbe Tarlir. There can be no doubt that Congress will pass a new tariff law. The Southern mem' bers of Congress ought to have sense enough to see tbe inevitable,and seelug it, they ought to try to take care of their constituents. The tariff' is all right, If it is made to hear evenly upon all.

Tne work goes steadily on, day by day, and each day progress Is being made. The experts are now here in each time, putting up looms, cords, water system, shafting, other machinery. The people seem to be taking more interest In It than formerly, if we are to judge from th? nnmhnr whn vinlf thn mill On Sniulmr tbe place was thronged all day. Governor Ellerbe. Governor W. H. Ellerbe Is every inch a man. He would not let even a Charleston blind tiger run over him. It seems that the kickers of Charleston will be compelled to ' obey the laws of the State. Until the blind tigers went Into business tbere never was a time when our newspipers espoused the cause of the lawless eletneut. Pardoned. The Governor bus pardoned A. M. Harmon of Lexington, who slew young Cal Caughman for Improper relations with bis sister. He . hadbeen convicted of murder with recommendation to menyr. The Governor reviewed the evidence adduced at tbe trial, and received petitions. The result was tbat Harmon is now a free man. mm WEST END. nr Happenings and IltcldentM of n Week About the City. Mr. D. A. P.Jordan was up from Greenwood on Monday last. Mrs. Wm. Livingston and her charming daughter, Miss Sailie, of Seneca, S. C., are tbe guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. Joel Smith. As Abbeville is now a city and has begun to put on city airs, it seems to us tbat an opera UUUBO IB UUC Ul IUC UCUCBOttl/ CUICI JJI lovrC*. Not an opera house built on paper with talk, bat one built on some suitable spot in our | city and with mouey. The Court House has j for years served the purpose in a way, but, j now that the town 16 growing, the demand is for a better and more suitable place for public gatherings. Mr. Sam Cotbran and Mr. T. C. PerriD, of Bradley, Greenwood county, was In the city Monday. Our fflends of Bradley have not forgotten old Abbeville, at any rate. Tbe young men's prayer-meeting was held at the Methodist parsonage last Sunday alter- I noon. An election for ane Alderman from each of tbe four wards of our cVty, will take place in a few days. So far we have not heard of any candidates, but suppose they will show up before election day. Our citizens should be careful to elect men, who while, conservative, and economical, should not be so, to the detriment of the town. Economy is right and should be one of the rules, most strictly adhered to in all matters of business, and as tbe government of a city. Is business, of the most vital importance to every one of its citizens economy should be one of the watchwords of our city fathers. Not tbat economy that Is "penny wise and pound foolish." Not that saving of money, tbat would effect the' efficiency of our splendid police force, or a saving that will allow our streets and side walks to be such as we have often seen In places of this size. Just a judicious and wise a use of tbe city funds. Men tbat have all tbe necessary qualifications are plentiful, and no , doubt, the new members elect of our City Council will be as efficient, and faithful as . their predecessors. Mrs. M. E. Mcintosh, of Bordeaux, is the guests of her sister, Mrs. W. A. Lee. * MUs Mattle Brown, of Belton. S. C.. Is in the city the guest of Mrs. W. R. Bullock. ! From prevent indications there will be many more bicycles used here this season than ever before. Messrs. C. P. Hammond &Co., and Mr. R. C. Bemau, have both ordered a quantity of first class wheels, and will either sell or rent them. We learn that a bioycle-track will be built, and In fact the work on it has already been started?over at the Base,Ball Park, and those who have the desire to'become "scorchers, will on the payment of a small fee, have the use of a tine, smooth course. Abbeville is getting along all right, a bycicle-track, and a good Base Ball Park are two necessary requisites to a growing city. Mr. J. A. Allen went up to Due West with a line of samples from Cohen's yesterday morning. He had three large trunks packed to overflowing with the newest and nobbiest things In men's and boys' fixings. Cohen's is headquarters for clothing, hats, shoes and gents furnishings, and our Due West friends will have the cnance to see his line right at borne. The story of the Reformation, Monday and Tuesday nights drew large audiences. Those who attended these entertainments, with one accord, were more than pleased. The evening was one most profitably and pleasantly spent. Mrs. Monroe's lecture is highly Instructive, as well as entertaining. The stere optlcan views were excellent, some of them suberb. Our home people who took part in the various scenes, did themselves and our town great credit. The music and singing was especially fine. In fact there is one word that will (as we have neither time or space to go into detials) express just what the enter- , talnments were. Here you have it "successes," in the fullest sense. Dr. H. A. Wldeman and brother, Mr. J. L. ' Wideman, of Bradley, were iu the city yesterday. Birth?At Abbeville, March 2Sth, 1S97, to Mrs. S. J. Link, a daughter. Announcement.
