rThe Press and Bannei ABBEVILLE S. C. SPPubllshed every Wednesday at 82 i year In advance. Ten [Pages. Wednesday, July 14,1897. i'. " """ " ? ? Curious SUIe of Affair*. There seems to be ignorance of mediclm and hygiene at Clemson or else there is ai evident desire to conceal facts from the pub lie. Last year an epidemic broke out among th? students. This year the same thing occurred at th< . college, and, as a result, some of the stu dents are dead. The proper authorities, as we understand have a physician in charge. That physician does not seem to know whal Is wrong, and the general charge of the sick ness Is made to "malaria" with various sped fl cations. * - 1 l???- ha Kaiti Again: n uim uccu w>u mm. mo ??j. bathed in tbe river below tbe sewer pipe, and ate green plums. Bat when it was ascertained that some 0 tbe 6lck bad not eaten any green plums 01 been in the river at all tbls theory was verj properly abandoned. Tbe State Board of Health went there auc examined the place. They pronounced tb< epidemic to be typhoid fever. The Board of Trustees have since held t meeting. Jn their report, they are o opinion that tbe Bute Board of Health wen mistaken. Well, now, it matters not what tbe disease may be. Call it by whatever name yoi choose, the result is the same. If a large pei cent, of tbe youDg men are Blck, and if death! oooar, Is it not idle to quibble about tbe name of tbe disease? It is a condition, and not t theory that confronts the College. Viewed from the standpoint of the Press and Banner, somebody is to blame for what seems to be either criminal -carelessness 01 disgraceful Ignorance. Tbe idea tbat a physician cannot discriml nate between malarial fever and typhoid fever conveys the impression that such ad ml&slon Is proof conclusive that the pbysl clan Is woefully Ignorant of his profession. It may be excusable for the Ignorant coun try doctor to talk of "malaria" when he U posing before laymen about a disease which be 1b unable to diagnose, but for a State officer in charge of the health and lives i of hundreds of students to talk thus if astounding and furnishes proof positive thai the wrong doctor Is in charge. We assert without any fear of successful contradiction that no doctor who Is unable to dlstlngulst t typhoid fever from malarial fever 1b fit t< have charge of any public Institution. To talk and quibble about the name of th< disease ? whether thlB or that caused th< sickness?while the young men are sick and . ^dylng is nn worthy of public officials. If the custodians of that college cave mrec a doctor who does not understand bis busl nees, be should be removed immediately, and If u man acquainted witb hygiene and medi< cine cannot be bad, wby let tbe trustees ap ply a little common sense and make lnstan taneous effort to remove tbe cause. Will tbe trustees sit idle wblle tbe exercisec of tbe College bave been suspended, and wbiU students are dying t We do not now remember where publio of floersbave been notoriously more lncompe tent than have the physicians in charge ol Clemson's health and Clemson's boys. If tbe trustees would send for tbe borse doc . tor, be might be able to tell tbe difference between malarial fever and typhoid fever, and being able to distinguish the fevers he might be able to treat tbe sick. If a man slok witb typhoid fever is treated for malarial fevei there may well be fear of the result. Gone Back on (be Homes? Bad News for tbe FlnnuieM. Tbe "Colonels'* long ago, associated with themselves t' e gallant horses that with them fought the battles of tbe late war, but now tbe daughters of the commissioned officers * Id tbe struggle for Secession have given the cut direct to both the horses aud the soldiere '$.* in that war. They have formed in Atlanta an exclusive set or society from which both the old soWlert and tbe war horses are excluded. Even horsef of the colonels and their descendants are not Invited to join, and no place Is assigned foi ; any Confederate private or his descendants no matter how valiant he may have fought This Is deemed especially hard on the flunkies of the present day, who, without brains 01 place, worship those of their neighbors whc are more favorably situated. Tbe object of this Atlanta Society, from * which a Urge per cent, of Southern valor U excluded, is not as we understand, to do hon or to those who aoted bravely in the fight [ bat to make glorious tbe fame of the officers as such, irrespective of any consideration o their valor, or their lack military spirit and genlUB. And nobody who was in the Confederate army will deny that many of the commie sioned officers, in time of danger, didn't cx pose themselves unnecessarily. . As a rule, the bravery of the officers, whe were not soldiers, did not average better than tbe courage of the soldiers who were not officers. Tbe organization in Atlanta is, however, eminently proper. It gives fiunkles the names of those whom they may worship, and It gives sensible and manly men, as well af sensible and womanly women, a basis upon which to place their estimate of people whc ; " would separate themselves from their neigh bors, and balld an insurmountable wall be tween them and the honorable and brave sol dlers who risked all and endured much tc preserve the property of those who would now establish class distinctions in free and proud America. The Press and Banner believes that self-re spectlng soldiers, their descendants, and tbeli associates, should forever hereafter withhold their votes for office from this foolish anc proud set who presume to be so much bettei than their neighbors. Tbe soldiers made the mistake of theli lives in electing the ancestors of such peopW to military office. Their descendants ar< nnn? Inonltnrf with (ha romlnHflr that, t.hfil "V "V" "MV * VM4.UUV. ""VJ are unworthy to come Into tbe presence o tbe descendants of tbe men wborn tbe< mode. Such action 6hoald be a pointer fo their action In future elections. We are at a loss to know how any true Con federate soldier, or any friend of the bravi soldiers who fought the battles of tbe coun try, can so far forget bis manhood as to voti for tbe male members of that crowd for anj office of bonor or profit. Let such upstarts, and parvenue neighbors ' severely alone. As the skilled artist, when he paints i horse, need not write under It, "this Is horse,' so tbe truly great do not find It necessary t< band together against the masses, and bran< themselves: "This is aristocracy." The litt le set who may choose to label them selves "aristocrats," will be found by toadle; and individual flunkies. but the great Ameri can heart will not bow down and worsbii solf-appolnted aristocrats, even if tbey shoulc nappen VO luueni a (uuu uauic, ui i-ujuo to be the descendants of men who reflecte* no credit upon tbe commission which the: * held.

All sorts of objection has been urged to the ' innovation, and violence by tbe former wblte x operatives was feared. Tbe step was ta*en because of tbe difficulty ; in getting white operatives in sufficient numbers to ensure tbe constant turning of the wheels. | Tbe sentiment in Charleston was strong against white labor In the cotton mills, and so tbe deficiency In labor occurred, and tbe necessity for employing colored labor arose. ! Following tbe action of tbe Charleston Cotton Mill, a company in Columbia have applied for a charter for a mill which Is to be B run exclusively by negro operatives, under i ' experienced white bosses. . j It has been urged that the negroes were unreliable or Incompetent for the work in cotton . mills. It has been urged that on account of race 3 prejudice they 6bould not be allowed to go . into the mills. ? It has been urged that as good a place as . that of mill operative should be reserved for the white operative because of his color. t It has also been urged that Ibe negro should - not be employed Id the mills because be could work at less wages and would therefore Anally work white operatives out of the > mills. I The South Is rich In her resources. It Is the best climate In the world. f It has the surest and the best money crop r In the world. r It has untold fortunes In vast water power that now goes to waste. I We have the greatest supply of the most i docile and faithful labor to be found on tbe globe. On no spot of all this earth Is there so i much cheap and reliable labor to the square f mile as is to be found in South Carolina. i Our wealth lies in the abundance of our unutilized labor, which is more valuable than ) the gold mines ol California, and is worth i more than all the coal in all the United r States. 5 Standing as we do, on the very verge of i great and onward progress, is the industry i and thrift of the country, to be held back honancn nnir nrolmlino arrulnczf thp hPfit IA > bor In the world? I The negro bos bad tbe prejdtlce of tbe r white man in bis way ever since emancipation. After tbe war all sorts of evil was pre dieted of tbe manumitted negro. He would I not make a good citizen. He would relapse into barbarism. Except under compulsion, be would not work. Because of bis freedom tbe cotton crop would diminish. But none of tbe evil predictions bave been 1 verified. The fact Is, that tbe negro has done 1 a very large per cent of all the work that has 1 been done In South Carolina. And be has 1 done it well. ' Somebody will try the experiment of work1 lng negroes In tbe cotton mllle, and it is mor ally certain that tbe negro will succeed in 1 giving tbe same satisfaction to the mill that 1 be has given on tbe farm. CgIUOO w uifi. iu mi ^/iauco n uoio ciuuicui and steady labor Is in demand. And they ' have not, as far as we now recollect, failed In i any place. 1 If ibey should succeed, South Carolina is only on the tbreshbold of her manufacturing ' interests. The unutilized water power and tbe unemployed negroes of this State would make the Commonwealth of South Carolina great and rich, without doing barm in any way to anybody. No white operative need be thrown out of a job. All tbe cotton that is grown must be | manufactured by somebody and new mills could be built In tbe cotton fields, where the negro oould not only grow tbe staple, but be a factor in its spinning and weaving. Chentlng lu Voting Content)!. We have tbe best of reasons for believing I tbatln8omeof tbe voting contests that are now going on in the offices of some of our rel gpected contemporaries there has been, or . may be, fraud, and it Is therefore possible that tbe awards may be given Improperly. The Press and Banner believes the whole business of these voting contests isdemorallzi lng, and we are obliged to believe that there i in a decadence of spirit on tbe part of the gen- 1 tlemen of this State, when they will permit the names of their sisters or their daughters i to appear from day to day and from week to week in the newspapers, credited, with one vote, at a time when others are credited with thousands. If a newspaper bad undertaken such campaign forty years ago we are quite sure that'tbe editor would have been notilied of a protest against unwaranted liberty witn tbe young lady's name?a protest which tbe editor would have regarded by immediately taking down tbe young lady's name. When we speak of fraud in the election?or the counting of the votes and the declaring 01 tbe elections?we mean no reflection on the perfect integrity of any brother editor, but we do mean to 6ay that we believe that an attempt has been made, or will be made, to have fraudulent tickets counted. If that doesn't seem clear enough, we will make tbe statement in another way, namely: That Job printers may be employed to print on similar paper exact Imitations of tbe f genuine tickets. We don't propose to give I anybody away, bat we know whereof we speak of the effort to Becure spurlons tickets. > , Is Whiskey-Drinking: ou the Increase? > For a long time, It appeared tbat the dispensary did very little. The profits were . small, but the reports from the "blind tigers" and "original" stores Is tbat business is very , brisk just now. It seems hat the whiskey < ) guzzling crowd have been waiting for a I cbauce to get at the "blind tigers" or the"orli glnal," and that he is now making himself, i all of which goes to show that the Governor > ought to redouble his efforts in seeing that nquur is uui uumwiuu^ buiu, 11 auj . was needed to show the beneficent Influence . which arose from the closing of the bars, wei > oculd see It In the rush to "blind tigers" and I 'originals." If people will not drink dlspen. I sary liquor the prohibitionists have gained much by the law. r " 1 The DlNpensary?Question. Judge Slmonton rules that anybody can r sell liquor, under the same regulations that govern the dispensary. r It may yet be necessary for him to make 5 further rulings. 8 Under the dispensary law the State furnlsh7 es the liquor and divides the profits with the local corporations. 7 .. ... >ow, ine question is, will persons who open r liquor stores on their own accounts, be required to divide the promts between themselves and the town* 0 0 j Tribute to Dr. J. Lowrie WIInoii. j Mr. J. E. Gadsey, Master Mechanic In the : shops of the Abbeville Mill and Machine ' , Company, like other of our good citizens, Ik a ^ I great admirer of Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson's talent > and ability as a preacher. He says, lor excel} lence of language and richness of thought* j j that Dr. Wilson's sermons are equal, If not j superior, to those of Dr. Talmage. ' 8 Don't Fall to Bend Them. > Don't fail to read tbe sermons by the late I Rev. Robert A. i-.ee, as tbey appear from week s to week in tbe Press and Banner. Tills editor II bas read nothing better. ! The McCormiok Times suggests that tbe 1.1 election for a successor to Hon. T. A. Graham's 8 Beat in the House of Representatives be postponed from the Oth to the 31st ot August. On I the latter date the election for tbe United States Senator comes oil. 1 i Small Dispensary Profits. Some newspapers that have been fighting the dispensary now seem very proud that the profits of the institution are small. We do not know whether they claim credit for this j result or not; but it is certain that tneir labors have been directed in a way which, as fa- as effective, would bring about the result which now seems to give them so much c) nleaRlirp. "1 The result of Judge Simonton'R decision a' may further reduce dispensary profits. Through the efforts of the liquor element A the owners of "original package" stores and blind tigers may now appropriate to their ^ own use the profits which properly belong to w the State. But let all true temperance people stick to the dispensary. It Is the only law that has ever given the liquor element any trouble. They are fighting it with all their determinatlon.butthe temperance people will likely yield nothing either to the opponents or the violators of the law. There seems to be a most gratifying healthy public sentiment In tti reference to thiB matter. . 'a i , , ar ra St mid Firm. tu Let no friend of temperance be discouraged 'h because of Judge Simonton's decision which vj authorizes the opening of liquor stores under in tbe same rules, regulations and restrictions that apply to the dispensary. These liquor 0 stores will oe required to have written appll- in cation for liquor, and will be required to con- E. form to all other dispensary laws. cj They must shut up at six o'clock. dc No drinking on the premises will be allowed. The question as to whether these liquor je stores must divide tbelr profits with tbe town council will be decided later. 11 The towns being Interested In tbe net profits te of the dispensary will likely Instruct their town marshals to see that tbe law Is strictly ^ compiled with. We are told that the town council of Abbeville will require tbe police to ed see that liquor is not sold unlawfully. If tbey neglect tbelr duty In tbls particular a successor Is to be appointed, who will attend vj io me mauer. re Tbe man who undertakes to sell liquor un- j der Judue Slmonton's decision will likely qj have a rough and stumpy road to travel, and It will be a wonder If he does not fall Into some of the pitfalls. fu " tu DEATH OF MRS. McCORD. g fr A Christian Wife and Mother Gone (o du ller Reward. Mrs. Rebecca McCord, wife of J. Augustus or McCord, died at her bome near Hapley's of Shoals, July I2tb, 1897, ol typhoid fever, she la leaves a husband and 6lx children to mourn b< her debth. She was forty-eight years old. She was a member of Ebenezer Methodist church, and was greatly beloved by all who knew ber. Her Christian example was as a d, shining light. w ? ft GOOD WORK. ? tl 81 Excellent Work of tbe Committee nod w the Street HaniU. Hf ai The Street Committee of tbe City Council, ef of which Mr. L. H. Russell Is Chairman, Is ol doing some excellent work on Washington tr Street. Pipes are being laid down, gutters tt opened, sidewalk widened abd the street raised. All this work Is being done by Mr. Klrby, under tbe direction of Mr. Russell and other members of the Street Committee. A grateful public will appreciate this great lmprovementon one of the most public streets {0 oj the city. Abbeville Is noted for Its beautllul sidewalks and good streets, and Washing ton Street, after Mr. Klrby and Mr. Russell are uuue wnu u win ue reaiiy uub ui iuo ueni streets Id the town. As a skillful worker of streets Mr. Kirby bas no superior In this country, and Mr. Russell Is wide-awake to tbe best Interests of tbe town. Let Washington street be tbe prettiest street in town. e, tt tb NO HOUSE OF WORSHIP. ? 01 In A Good Lndy Thinks the People nt dl the Cotton Mill Should Have Rell. ^ eionM Services. A good lady calls the attention of the Press and Banner to tbe fact tbat there Is do bouse of worship at tbe cotton mill, and she ex- te presses the belief that the attention of the ev different denominations in town should be D called to tbe deflolency. It does seem tbat while we are so much In- vl terested about foreign people who despise m our religion and sometimes dine on cold missionary, we might give some attention to our co brethren at home. in ?? no HIT THE GRIT. m " * qi Tlint is What the Hon. W. P. Wide- m ca nan Did at Lebanon. Is Hon. W. P. Wldeman delivered his famous j"1? "Hit tbe Grit" lecture at Lebanon on tbe |v night of the 8th Inst. As usual everybody cc was well pleased, as he is well Bnd widely . known as a lecturer and humorist. I feel ia that It Is unnecessary for me to try and add fuel to the flame, but will say that every I? church that has a missionary, ladles' aid. or any other society connected with the church m ought to have him to lecture to their society. Ttiis lecture and entertainment are due to the good ladies of Lebanon who are trying to I help the poor and needy. These ladles have ta tbe right spirit In them, and we know that fa God will bleBS, as well as give success, when pe uny thing Is done In this spirit. be Owing to a shower of ra In about dark there were not very many people out compared to what would have been there bRd It not rained. Out of the small crowd $27 were made up. q Seven dollars went to pay expenses, ten to Mr. Wideman and fllteen to the Orphanage at re Clinton the next morning, five of which bad been raised previous to the lecture. Mr. Wldeman Is now writing a lecture on tbe negro, "What he was, what he Is, and the 1 Lord knows what he will be" The society w< that gets him first will be the fourtunate one. "f I would not have menlioned the success P| these good ladies had if more people had J'1 been present, but owing to the limited num- 1111 ber I do this to give them the praise due t,c them, and to encourage them in all their un- a" dertakings hereafter.

MISSIONARY MEETING. s Vii Abbeville Delegate* Account of n ' Plea?Hiii ami I*rfltable Occasion. t Tbe eighteenth annual meetlngof Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of tbe M. E. Church South, was held in Anderson, S. C., June 30th, July 5, 1897. Much to our sorrow iad regret, we learned that our beloved Presi- 1 lent,Mrs. M. D Wlgbtman was not present at ibis session, having been called to tbe bedilde of her sister, wbo was 111 in Mlsstppi. After tbe roll call on Thursday morning, to which about 83 delegates responded, ber letter :o the Conference was read, telllug of the ;reat sufferings ber sister was undergoing, md expressing her bitter disappointment at lot belug able to be with us. Our Vice Presilent.Mrs.E. S. Herbert, presided both profitable, and beneficially. We were given a very cordial address of I welcome by Miss Nora Hubbard, and little | Dot Payne, not more than ten years of age, nade a very sweet address to the Juvenile so:lety, in whicb she spoke in glowing terms of heir lady manager, and "our boss" as she callHi him, Mr.Osborne. Mrs. J. W. Humbert, our Correspondent Sec jratarv, was at her post, lull or inaomuaoie sonrage and good works. She bad Just re- n .urned from the Board MeetlDg held in Ala- > iama, of which she read a most interesting i eport, giving tbe statistics of the work that : md been accomplished during tbe past year. There are 3141 auxiliaries In tbe Southern nates, 214 new auxiliaries, and 73641 mem- . )ers. We have obligated ourselves to raise I arge amounts for foreign work tbls coming fear. Tbe next Board meeting will be held it Greensboro, N. C. Mrs. Humbert pledged 81,000, this year to the 3oard. Last year we promised 81,;00 and we f nore than raised tbe amount. Tbls Sl.CoO will 50 as our New Work offering. Money for life * nembers and other special offerings, except \ ichoolarsblps, will go lu tbe same channel, lloney for scholarships will not be sent until A :be whole 840 is raised. We have In our Con- L 'erence 195 Adult Societies, with a memoer- t\ >hlp of 2701 and 86 Jurenile Societies. Our New Work apportionment will go to Corea. We own 160 acres of land, and have ;one to work in earnest, erecting a largi school building at Seul. Tbe society givlug be most money will have the honor aud privilege of naming the school. - { We had no missionary ladles or men at the A Conference to tell us of tbe work in the j foreign fields, but Miss Annie Barnes ofGeor;la, the gifted editor of the Little Worker, ^ a-us with us, telling us of tbe i<ood we were iolng nearer hofoe that Is, In the Indian rerrltory. There are In all 4,500 Indians, and ibout SO or 90 pupils attendlug school. These little children are very much dissatisfied with their homes when they return to them during vacation, and It 1b owlDg to their influence iver their parents, that the praises are dotted bere and there with comfortable and cheerful I Domes. The greatest test of au Indian's laltb and ills desire to be a Christian is the giving up of all bis wives but one; when be is willing to do this, be is on the high road to a spiritual success. Mrs. Campbell return In August to ber work lu China. Miss Johnnie Handera is l well, in fact, weighs 130 pounds, is studying hard, and tearing the language rapidly. I On Friday nlebt, after the meeting was i closed, we were delightfully entertained by j the sweet music rendered us by the Andersou brass band. And we,Just coming as it were, from the heathen shores of China, and the ' war-whooosof Indian Territory, considered It f )ulte a treat, as we proved by our hearty applause. i Miss JoMe Chapman, who bus been the sejretary for the Juveniles so long, sent In her j rpKipnatlon.and a sad farewell to her "Pal- ' metto Leaves." The same officers, who have t worked so faithfully during the past years, were chosen to be with us again. Our next innual meeting will be held lu Forence. On Sunday morning after the love feast, Dr. Richardson, the pastor of the Methodist Church In Anderson, preached a grand mis- ] ilonary sermon from the text* "For we are laborers together with God." Before closing, special mention must be made of the delightful homes, and the generous hospitality of the people of Anderson. , rhey were very kind, provlug In every way t that they were glad to have us with them, ? and we give our sincere thanks, assuring k ihem that we will always remember with <1 pleasure, the days spent In Anderson.
