'Give . us a protective tariff,'metbinks I snuff trea. son in the tainted breeze. "?George McDuffle we McDuffle, it will be remembered, was a lieu- 1 tenant and neighbor of the great Calhoun. 1st Volumes of such stuff could no doubt be quot- In ed, all going to prove the correctness of our bel position in reference to Calhoun, slavery, and its free trade. of The "tainted breeze," to which reference was > bad by Mcl>uftie, was African slavery. wii Tbe robber band was that of the abolition- lik lsts who would free tbe slaves. oui Tbe "treason" referred to without doubt go was the disloyalty of tbe "poor white trash'' I to the "cherished institution." Protection tht meant employment to the "white trash," and of employment to the "white trash." meant tbe leg presence of an element which might some day wo prove a meanance to "our peculiar institu- a 11 tion." en< Tbe very word slavery was so offensive ho even here In the south that many persons A spoke of it as "our peculiar institution," "our we domestic relations," and other words of like am sound, but which meant abject slavery, tic wiavopv o? that iimp whk a stenfih in the nos- of trils of tbe human race lu every part of the pa] globe, while the nations of the earth held up tbj their hands at the recital of the horrors of "our A peculiar institution." It was then no wonder ter McDuffie snufled treason in tbe "tainted me breeze." th< Yes McDuftie was right in speaking of the litt 'tainted air." If there ever was a breeze which be was "tainted" It was that of "our peculiar do' ' institution." 1 And any defection from that "tainted breeze" doi by people of the south was "treason." That tiv treason was so oflensive to our "cherished In- Th stitution" that "poor white tra9h".were made trli to move on, even upon suspicion of not being the loyal to slavery. sta If a man 'like Col. John P. Thomas had V written in the fifties a letter about any of the tel "poor white trash" as he wrote about the pei editor of the Press and Banner, the Individ- I ual would either have been lynched or ordered rej to leave the country. Yes, sir, the breeze was no "tainted" and tbe slave-owner feared noth- qui lng as much as tbe disloyalty of the saj "poor white trash." It was treason most pro- th< nounced to say or to do anything that might del 1 ~~ , m| pussiuiy DO cuuuirueu uo cuuau^ti lLJh w?* ui< domestic relations." McDuffle was right about the' 'tainted breze." It was tainted. He was also right about the treason." "Our.cherlshed Institution" could ^ brook no opposition at home. The northern "P1 Kepublicans were scaring "our set" to death- ?r and "poor white trash" at home bad to be yei lynched, beaten or run out of the ^ country, if they held any but orthodox ae opinions. lia ? *" m ter The Constables to Go. m I Governor Ellerbe has given notice that the m f whiskey constables will be discharged on October first. Opinions may differ as to the wisdom or A expediency of the move, but we presume no- ^ body will doubt Governor Ellerbe's fidelity ^ to the dispensary. He has stood to It In the I past, and we have no reason to believe that he has surrendered to our friends of the j liquor element. ^ Several vicious attaoks have been made in the newspapers upon Governor Ellerbe, for wa ?s, we presume, the purpose of weakening bUj , him with the people. g(v Governor Ellerbe, to be re-elected Governor reg of South Carolina has only to show himself f steadfast and true to the temperance element aQ of the people, and he can do this In no way so ^ well as by standing squarely to the dlspen- (h sary Law. The attacks upon Governor Ellerbe have come, we believe, alone from the enemies of 1 I.ITi the law, who may hope to have his place nil- "" ed by a friend of barrooms and free liquor. tiei The dispensary or free liquor will probably tbi be the questions upon which the campaign 8U| will be run. c fqlj The voter should be slow to go back on Governor Ellerbe because the liquor element gai attacks him. ^ As far as we now lemember, no temperance res man In this slate has assailed him. ^el cic The morals of the people are to be guarded j against the foreign whiskey element, who are doingeverythlng In their power to flood j < this country with their liquor. n The large amount which they are spend- ad lng to force their liquor Into this state may Qr< not be so much on account of the profit and ftb( drunkards which they can make in South Carolina, but it may be to prevent a prece- j ( ndent, Iflhv ?>xr>f?ndlnir" of larza sums Of ?' ? ?-- ' gei money they may break down the laws and the sobriety of this people, they may thus set for a precedent which may deter the good people aQ of other states from making laws to prevent a(j the debauchery of their youths. m) The question reduced to the last analysis, vg is we believe, a contest between the foreign ilquor dealer and the temperance people of lll( this state. The liquor dealer and his agents, or the temperance people of the Commonwealth must rule. Which shall it be?. IJquor nud Cotton Mills. er Several years ago about one thousand 11- th quor dealers and their clerks, numbering in pr all about live thousand persons, were thrown in out of employment, and a great lamentation pa then went up by the friends of the saloon Since then the State has propered as it never ar prospered before. sK Drunkenness bas been reduced, and the de greatest activity la all manufacturing lines 0f Is apparent every where. thi South Carolina 1s the only State which has Bt( a dispensary law, and South Carolina has 0ti built more'cotton mills than any barroom be State in the South. trt At Abbeville, for Instance, instead of half th; dozen barrooms with incidental drunkenness dii we have a fine cotton mill, that gives honest in employment to worthy people. ze: The same may be said of many communl- xb ties. Even In the grand old city by the sea( wl where there is still a great demand for liquor pu the old closeddown factory has been opened, ne Busy hands and turning wheels give proflta- frj ble employment to steady labor. gii Fighting Corporation*. Within the last few years much has been written against corporations and trusts, but we have heard nothing of the liquor trust, or combination, which is trying to make South ^ Carolina a liquor State. Who Should Rule? cer Shall the foreign liquor dealers and their jjPj agents rule South Carolina, or shall the tem- rn? perance people and other rightful owners of dei the soil, control her destiny ?

Instead of tryiag to argue ] ;h such men as struck at the printers in i (Peanut Legislature of 1S9I their inabil- I to legislate for the people should be made own. when the people will certainly fill sir places with better men. ew men who have arrayed the press of i State against them have ever gaiued : ure political preferment. If the press saw to resent their grievance such short i hted plcayunish politicians generally >pped down out of sight in short order, fo politician that has the sense he was born lh will voluntarily seek the ill will of the .eh The nrpan in not onlv erftnerallv rlcht t It is often able to punish Its enemies as 11 as to reward its lrlends. 'be South Carolina State Press Association herefore wasting Its time,as an association attempting to argue with small men. The .ter way Is for each paper to take care of friends, while letting the public take care its enemies. <ewspapers and dogs are bad things to foo j Hi. The politician who tackles either is ely to go to the bottom, where he will be L of sight aud where he will soon be fortten. jittie fellows that can do nothing better in cut other people's pay while taking care their own salary are not 6pecilally fitted for islators. If therefore, the newspapers uld ignore them at times, and give them ittle touch at other times, their political ;mles would soon loss their precarious Id on public favor. ls a rule the newspapers stand as 11 before the people as do the politicians, litis something very unusual for-a poll ian who is worthy of the name, to go out hi6 way to fight the newspapers. The news, pers are valuable frlend9, and as enemies (y are not to be desired. l little judicious fighting of enemies is betthan crawling on our stomachs to little in who cannot fill the places they hold. II i press had a proper respect for Itself the ;le meanness of the legislators in 1894 will righted, or else the little fellows will drop cvn out of sight. "he legislature of 1S94, as a rule, was no abt composed of the poorest representaes that ever sat in a General Assembly, ey thought much of their own salary, and ed to cut the pay of everybody else. This sy seemed to think, the chief business of a teaman. Ve have very little doubt that a more inligent legislature will rectify the wrongs ipetrated by the peanut crowd. ,et the local press note the votes of their iresentatlves, and If this legislature does tdo the proper thlDg by the public in all estlons of Importance, why let the printers r nothing of their own grievance, but lei sm avail themselves of the opportunity for rending the public from some of their enees. Foreign Advertising. 'he subjects of "foreign advertising" and referred space" have attracted the attention newspaper men in this State for many irs. Lbout fifteen years ago The Press and Ban. r solved these questions In a way which s been entirely satisfactory to this oflQce. hY>rnl<rn artverMHlnsr." nlnfi times out of ), means the vulgar advertising of patent edlcines. Ifine times out of ten "preferred space" sans the giving of these vulgar advertising the best and most conspicuous places the paper. fine times out of ten the patent medi. les may be set down as cheats or frauds upon 5 public. n no case with which we are acquainted ve these vulgar frauds ever offered a fair ce for the 6pace that they occupied, 'he reduction of the moral standard of this i?6paper to the level of a medical almanac, s thought to be not onlv injurious to the slness interests of the paper, but was otfene to the better class of peoDle. For these .sons, this newspaper took ail such ads out the paper, and since then we have admitted ne of this sort to the column oi the Press J Banner. For fifteen years the face of > paper ha6 not been blurred or blotted by ; advertismentof these palpable frauds, 'he result has been most satisfactory In oways. We feel that our paper Is belter jerviDg 01 puouc respeci, auu wo suuw ?t we have prospered from a business ndpoint as we never prospered before. >ur advertising customers are not forced to ;e a place which Is subordinate to the vulr medical advertisement. Vhile we publish with pleasure many idlng notices lor our home advertisers, L we publish no reading notice of medltes. 'he Press and Banner has no advise to give anybody. We merely stats our experience, t may be Interesting to people who yearn er "foreign advertising" to know that such vertlslng is generally, if not ulways, meas" id in the type of the copy, which occupies aut half the space that is taken up in the era<je country paper. t may be alBO interesting for the people lerally to know that for small type the par is not allowed over S3 an Inch by the year preferred space?a rate that would starve honest man?or about one-half that Is usuy charged local advertisers for space that jst be occupied in rear of the "foreign" ad rtisement. The reader will observe In lookI over the country papers that many of sm give the best position to foreign ads, for llch theedltor gets next to no price at all. Bright Prospects. ['he business outlook for Abbeville was nevbetter than at present. As will be seen in Is week's paper, and in future Issues of the ess and Banner, the merchants are laying large stocks of goods, and they solicit your tronage when in quest of goods of any nd. While all the merchants of Abbeville e good, and while each and all have good >cks of goods, some of tbem are specially sirous of receiving trade from the readers the Press and Banner, and It Is to be hoped at those merchants who Invite you to their jreb rt'ucivc uuubiuerauuu, uvu i t?cuu " to buy goodB.

Tiic Reform leaders are quarrelluK among hemselves, and thus confusion and demorall* otJnn fAllnm In Ihu In 1N7G Wade Hampton led a great revoluion. At least uintty per cent, of the white people were enthusiastic supporters of the movement of which ho was the recognized Head. In 1S90, Hampton and his followers had enjoyed the honors and emoluments of office for fourteen years, the people became tired of llie very rule for which they had struggled so zealously. Under the lead of Tillman, the people were as victorious in 1S0O as they had been in 1S76. But Tillman had not so largo a majority as Hampton had. The Reformers in 1890 had everything their own w-?y in politics, and were satisfied with their victory until the Courts began to inter fere. The Reformers then took anotner step forward and removed the old Judges. The anti-Reformers died hard, and fought until their numbers dwindled into such proportions that no hope for the politician could be found in their ranks, and then the Conservatives disbanded. The fieht waB then directed at Individuals. The solid ranks of Reformers were broken. Disaffection in the Reform ranks now prevail?. The handwriting can be plainly seen on the wall. The leaders of 1S90?one by one?are disappearing from the scene; an element has fought vailently against the restrictions ol the dispensary, and has left no stone unturned in their effort for the restoration of the liquor traffic. The opponents of Reform will likely unite forces with the liquor element, and a combined assault will be made on the Reform party as it now stands. Whether the liquor element succeeds In opening the bars again, they will certainly seek to oust the present variety of politicians. lueir rauc 10 nearij i uu. While it may beset down as true that the old line politicians will never again have possession, yet it is certain that new men will come to the front. The demand of the times will always developes the right man for the place. But it matters not which individual, or which coterie of Individuals, may gain the ascendency. it may be safely predicted that the bars will not again be opened in South Carolina. The liquor traffic has received a blow from which it will not recover, and the people of South Carolina will not return to the former plan of liquor-dealing. The Daily Register. The Columbia Reglgter is now published every day in the week. The Monday edition was commenced last Monday, September 6ih. The Register still lives and teems to prosper, despite the fact of the persecution. Recen tl y Senator Tillman in bis speeches spoke disrespectfully of the press, without exception, and not so long ago he went out of his way to give the Register specifically a dig. The Senator will no doubt change his tune In the coming campaign which will test his strength before the people. He will likely learn by that lime that the newspapers are of some force, and he will not be so anxious to incur their displeasure. If the Senator bad been careful to notice the effect on his audience at Abbeville when be assailed the newspapers he would have perceived that the people are now of a different frame of mind from tbat of 1890-'92'94. The Register Is a Rood paper, and need not be annoyed by Senator Tillman's animosity If the Register will Just bide Its time it will flnd the Senator at least willing to be friendly. The Press and Banuer knows by experience that persecution Is annoying, but it is not very harmful. The fact is, the boycott ol this newspaper resulted In greater good to us than any other single occurrence in the history of the paper. The Register has more to fear from its "far away" appearance than any ill-mannered talk of Tillman. If tbat paper will devote its editorials to current matters about which the people are thinking, and will have less to say about "Blue-Bloods" than it has to say of farmers in this country it will be stronger with the people. The yeomanry of the country are loyal supporters of the Register, and we are. at a loss to know the motive of the paper in always taming 01 "isiue-moous," insteau 01 the farmers and their Interests. The Keglster is a good paper and deserves well at the bands of the people. Wre trusts its new venture may be as profitable to the owner as it will be pleasant to its subscribers. The C'oltou Mill. Because of the scarcity of cotton the Abbeville Cotton Mill was shut down several days last week, but on Monday morning the wheels began to turn, and we presume they will not again be slopped for many a day. With a reasonable supply of cotton on hand, and the new crop daily comlpg into market, it is not likely that the mill will ever again be short of cotton. The mill has plenty ol money with which to buy cotton, and since the market opened the highest prices have been paid. As yet there are few buyers in the market. As a rule, the mill men are not anxious to get the first bales that are put upon the market. The early cotton is green and damp. Besides the loss in weight, it is hard to put through the machinery.

One of Abbeville's greatest needs Just now Is a telegraph office somewhere on the public squars. or at least up In town. An office conveniently located and not as the two are now, a long distance from the< business center of tha city, Is a source of great trouble and no little expense to those who desire the use of that means of communication with Dther parts of the country. It does seem to us that Abbeville has grown to that size and Importance as a city, that a city telegraph office la a necessity, and the company operating the lines at this point would do their patrons find themselves as well, a good day's work, in opening a city office.

To the Honorable Mayor, Abbeville, S. C. Dear Sir: Our committee of the Black Diamond Railway Director* which has been In Kentucky.Ohio and Indiana, assisting Col. Boone In promoting the Blnck Diamond extension to the North and Southwest, has returned greatly enthused over the situation. Success Is assured and it Is confidently expected that work will begin in the early fall at this point, both on the llnegolng North via Jelilco, the great coal fields, and South via Rabun Gap to Savannah, as now projected. The people of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana are wild over the scheme of having direct connection through the South to the South Atlantic seaboard and have subscribed three times the amount asked by Co). Boone to promote their end of the euterprise. A corps ofeugineers slarted on Monday, Aug. 9th, and is now in the field surveying and locating the Kentucky division from Dover on the Ohio river to Jellco, and I. H. Harison, civil engeneer, will leave Walhalla shortly to take charge of the Ohio corps from Columbus to Dover. The main line ?s now projected will be from Indianapolis, Ind, via Carrolton, Ky., Lawrenceburg to Jelilco, with branches from Lawrenceburg via Louisville, and Vlnclnnea to Springfield, 111., thereby connecting the capitols of three of the -wealthiest western states, Ohio, Indlanna am) Illinois with the main line South through Knoxvllle to Savannah. I am fighting for Port Royal via Abbeville. Our people here are enthusiastic over the bright prospects and a mass meeting of our citizens will be held on Thursday evening, the 19th irstant to congratulate Col. Boone and his directory on the good work done. I am sorry the time Is so limited I could not have given you more notice. I suggest, however that you call your Chamber of Commerce togalherand wire me such action as you may take endorsing the enterprise and what aid you can promise. It was suggested at our meeting of directors held last evening that nnrior vnnr Rtate constitution as It now exist ed towns and couutien could Dot subscribe aid to build railroads. Is tbis true?
