V iTri - I' II ; I The Abbeville Press and Banner.! BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1897. ESTABLISHED 18441 \ THE PRESS EXCURSION. ! I' . j#' Some Rambling Kcmarh<? on nTrlp A Hint Will be Boili Pleasant Froli- \ (able. The Press and Banner has received a copy ot the advertising contract* for trip tiekela to SF Nashville,and they are all right. The "depeudent" business does not appear, of which && we spoke last week, and which remarks on B tlie same do not appiy uauer jucsnit ?<uui-1 ^ lions. | 8 President Aull seems to bave taken great pains in arranging a good program, and we1 g?y I have no doubt the brethren will bave a profi-1 5 table trip. j mA } We interpret the contract for advertising to ; have no reterence whatever to membership or | non-membership with the Press Association, a} This contract, like that of the exclusion contract lor passes to Chicago In 1.SU3, does not | discriminate for or against any editor. Those SP editors who are not members have equal I A chances with those who are members, m? We understand tlie purchase of sleeping car tickets to be optional. It the editor wants to be sure or having a sleeper, and desires to commit hlmselt to any particular train, he may send In his S5 and secure it in advance. [ if he preiers not 10 uo mis ne iu?^ wsc m* i ^ chances at paying S2 a night for one night j (0 each way if he travels in the night time, or | S-l for the round trip. The Pullman sleeper t tickets are separate and distinct from the res;ular railroad fare, for which advertising is paid. The sleeper is cash? $5 in advance, or ?4 if chances are taken at securing a berth. ^ The chief objection to paying in advance, it seems to us, is, that we must return on a par- fif ticular train. It we wait we may buy lion whatever train we chance to travel. & The correspondence between the officers ot ^ the Press Association and the olticers of the jA Railroads is not made public. WF We have always thought that every brother w was entitled to all the facts, aud we have further thought that the utmost candor ^ should exist between the officers and the jw brethren. ^ On former occasions, members have been worried by too much program, and couse- SB quently too great a requisition was made on their time in responding to pre-arranged gQ plans. This draft on our time curtails one's I -.c-c.r4nm cnH miltaa !t nlpBSIillt. JV Wby should the Presidedt, or tbe Executive Com id it lets a*Kume to say how we shall spend our time? Why should Individuals be expected to attend oDe church if they prefer to v go to another? If we prefer to rest or gad Hbout the city, why say that we must do some- W thing else? If we prefer to go to the exposition, why da should we oe expected or required to go to see the colleges. Keduced down to the actual program the ffiP Press Association is expected to go to church ^ one day ; to spend anoiber hunting up big colleges; oneday to visit the Exposition ; one day with the local brethren at Nashville. And then hurry home. 5Pr We presume that each editor will have his own ticket?or that he will not go. That tickei should be good for from tllteen to ihirij- x days. If we are right in this supposition then let us ail start oui together, and make the con- Jhk tinuouB Journey 10 Nashville together. Alter Qp getting there it would be pleasing for us all to slop in the same neighborhood, so thai we sjfi might be in daily communication with each oiher. ^ We see no reason why each member of the BP Association should not spend his time accord- xT. ing to his own inclination or desire. Let each /t? member stay as long or as short a time in sr' Nashville as he pleases. If one man is satis- Jk fled in four days and wants iO come home, fir why let him shoot out for the land whence he ^ came. &Q We ought, as a matter of pleasure, to go to- ^ gether, on the same train; but let each man come home on any traiu that suits him. Br Speaking lor this newspaper we prefer thai our membership rolls be not Increased by the jgjj addition of the names of those who maj XT think they must Join to obtain the privilege Jb ol advertising for an excursion ticket. Individually, this editor prefers not to take w money Irom such persons as care nothing ioi /Ej) the Association, except to get excursion* XT tickets, and it ought to be known that the gfa joining ol the Association is not necessarily a condition precedent to earning such excursions tickets by advertising. The great rail- ffiS? roads, we presume, are not caring one cent as to wnetber or uot we are members of the Press Association. If they have made any such discrimination against any portion of the press of this Slate, (p? we would like to see official statement made public. Am A glance at the program will show that It is impracticable to go to ihe battle llelds, uine Jk mlies distant and return, in lour hours. The fir hurried trip would tire everybody, and to ^ some extent mar the pleasure ol the trip, but gA every one who goes on the excursion to V Nashville, should, on his return, stop lor two or three days at Chattauooga. The magnlO- KSr cent natural scenery aud the historic spots jv around tiiat town ought to be viewed by ev <j@ erybody. A day or two on the battle fields aud a visit to the burial grounds will be worth much. The National Park which was BS' dedicated to American valor Is a place which all should see. The struggles around Suod- ip grass Hill and the conflicts on neighboring ^ fields -afford' food for thought. Tne stallstics which are lettered In iron tablets, togetb- ?P er with the existing emblems of war. are les \ tlmonials to American valor, and commemorate alike the bravery of the Confederate vet- * ?run unit Him l'uliiti knlillir Perhaps the most magnanimous act of anj ^ people oil the la^e 01 the earth, was thut ol ST the American Congress In dedicating the JW bloodiest Held of the lnterueclne war to American valor. Without reference to the ^ Bide on which the soldier lought, the deeds ol dk each are recorded. W* The per cent, of casualties In the bloodiest battles recorded In the world's history are out u irlfle as compared with the casualties In the sublime effort at the battle of Chlckumauga. And, as lar as we know, no other nation on '5^ etHT.ii has ever reroiMii/nil tiie viilor n( r vnn- \ quifhed foe. ^ WAR ON SNOBBERY. |> X?w Seclely Whu?e .llottoe is "She \ Coinctli I'p hs h Flower." ^ New York Suu. A Brooklyn sirl says she Is eolug to slart a & new society. She does not Intend doing this ^ i because she thinks there Is a dearth of women's societies. But she has discovered an entirely new iield, quite unocccupied by women's societies or any other kind. The name society, and the badge a mushroom ; the motto, "She cometh up as a flower." rr? The inembiN of this will be allowed to mention their lathers and mothers and may speak occasionally ot h grandfather or a grandmother, but a mention of a greatgrandlather or a great grandmother will be punished by Hues. No ancestors of any degree ol nearness may be described to other members unless fald ancestors have been engaged in manual labor or have been the objects ol public charity or public punishment. Family records, relics, genealogical trees and other Indications of family antiquity will be burned at the monthly meetings. People who have proof of the antiquity of their stock will not be really acceptable as members, but they will be received on condition that they use every effort to obliterate the knowledge that they have had ancestors. The Brooklyn girl Is not animated by a spirit ot envy. No sour grapes have set her teeth on eilge. tShe Is eligible to the Daughters of the Revolution, the Danuhters of the n~n American Revolution, the New England X I Women, even to the Colonial Dames! The members of the?-e various societies cannot imagine, so they say, "why she talks as she does." And then, again, there are oilier wo- () ] men who say they can. ^ ' CORPORATION STORE. 01 Tlte Abbeville Cotton Mill Mill! I.ikely Put I'p h Store. In order to accommodate the mill operatives It is quite probable that the company will at the proper time erect a store house and open a stock of tuch goods as the mill may need. This act will be done as much for the accommodation of the operatives as for the profit there may be in it. It would be a serious Inconvenience if the operatives found it necessary to come up town ever.vtime they need'id a nickle's worth, or a dime's worth, of goods. The distance and bad roads wli I make it inconvenient for operatives to come every dav to town for little things, but it is presumed* that they will spend the bulk of their money up town in the stores of the city.
