Our friend, the Charleston Post, Is exer. clsed because of our lack of homage at the siirine of Jeilerson Davis. That paper Bdministers a rebuke to those who do not exactly agree with it in the degree of its sentiment, and would reproach those who claim for Davis and his widow the higher standards. Viewed from our own standpoint, I Mr. Davis whs entitled to consideration, lust as was any other leader in tlie Lost Cause. As a citizen, he should have been respected In the way that his conduct commanded. ^ As a rule, it has never been the custom oi unfortunate leaders to levy tribute from the general public, which had been overpowered. In the case of Mrs. Davis we know of no need for such tribute. We believe that she is well I off in this world's goods. Even if she were / poor indeed public appeal lor charity, is out J of place. There will always be plenty of women to look after her temporal welfare. \ The Press and Banner would not detract \ one iota from the fame and glory of Jefferson Davis. His history has been made. No power on earth can affect it, even if any one, or any set of men, attempted to do so. And we know of no one who has a desire to detract anything from the career of our distinguished leader. But we believe we have a right to protest | when his widow and daughter pose before ? the public as objects of charity. And if this | is a free country, we have a right to protest ] against the use of the organization of Con- { lederate Veterans as a means of levying trib- J ute upon the old soldiers, many of whom are f 1 themselves destitute. This newspaper is not aware of the posses- ? sions of Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie Davis, but it is quite probable that Mr. Davis had considerable property at the time of his , death, 6uffloient at least to enable her to go in / great style, and visit her beloved friend Mrs. f& Grant, widow of the late General Grant. While we know nothinc of their riches, tu there can be but little doubt that Mr. Davis TO never lost sight of the main chance. In 1SG5, ^ while hie soldiers were in poverty, a movement was proposed which should ask the im- % poverished soldiers to pay one dollar for the benefit of the President. If we are not mistaken Mr. Davis weDt to law, and through the courts, wreBted a farm from bis brother. If we are not further mistaken Mr. Davis at ' one time had a hoitae in Nashville at which he left his family while he himself went to the home to which a widow bad Invited him, and where he stayed until her death when she gave the farm to him. This newspaper does not believe that Mrs. Davis and her daughter Miss Winnie Davis, are in straightened circumstances. If Mrs. Davis will so state, or If the President of the U. C. V. will bring proof that she has asked | tho PnnffldorQto or?lhIopd in ncnhoi> than II we may revise our opinion of the late appeal in her behalf. We believe in honoring both the living and the dead. We believe in according every homage that is due fordlstlngulsbed services, but we believe In such distinguished people preserving their dignity. They should be too proud to receive gifts from the impoverished people, and their pride should prompt Mrs. Davis to require the president of the United Confederate Veterans to withdraw the begging circular. We say these thiogs because we believe that money-making schemes for the benefit of Mrs. pavis Is hardly up to the highest ideals of the greatness and dignity that belong to the widow and daughter of our beloved and honored President. Jefferson Davis. Davis was a great man. His widow and daughter should not receive alms from the public. To do so is to lower their standard. The Xegro. Ua - Ever since emancipation the white people have to a more or less extent felt an Interest In the moral and spiritual welfare of the col ored race. All sorts of opinions are expressed In the newspapers. Some thlDk the negroes are going to the bad and that there is little good In them at best. Others think that the negro Is Improving Dut along all tbe lines of good citizenship. The Press and Banner believes that tbe negroes have made wonderful progress In edu* eating themselves and improving their con PlC dltion. The negroes of this section seem to be striving for tbe betterment of their condition as is evidenced by their effort to secure better SH houses in which to live. Poverty and living in crowded houses militate against virtue ? and morality. When people havea sufficient an bouse room for their families a great ad- g vance has been made. When people learn w the importance of having sufficient and com- |g fortnble bouse room they have gained II much. To live In a poor hut of one room Is to raise a family under very great disadvan- j? tii gen. Please Don't. The Columbia Record had a bitter piece one day last week against Kdltor Uantt, and the Record promised to refer to ihe matter again. . We hope that our good friend will forget his promise. It would be more honored in the breach than In tbe performance. The Press ana Kanner does not see the Headlight, and of course does not know the provocation, but we can conceive of nothing which requires such strong language as was directed to Editor Gantt.

The Sabbath School at Hagan school house which was suspended through the summer months has again been reorganized under t he superintende nce of Messrs. Ellis and Griffith. T We believe if the people will take an interest ^ the earnest endeavors of these worthy youDg men will not be In vain. It was our pleasure on last Sabbath after noon to hear ac interesting and instructive sermon from Kev. D. G.Caldwell. Jnanelfectiveand eloquent style be pictured the Christian's journey through life, presenting the difficulties and oastacles to be encountered as well as the Joy and happiness realized. Miss Lizzie Smith, a pretty and charming young lady from Anderson, has been visiting her rather and sister, Mrs. T. H. Gordon. The people of the com.munity regret that the supply of scuppernongs, which was so r abundant, 1k about exhausted. All wish to extend thanks to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Leith for their unbounded hospitality during that sea- g b son. c M Photographer Napier, of Greenwood, has n / recently been doing a great deal of work in j, the community. Those who have received jJ their pictures are very much pleased with 0 them. b On Wednesday, the 20th, it was our pleasure u to at tend the recention at the home of Mr. M. p I G. Smith given In honor of his son, Man-hall, III who was married to Mies Daisy Gambrell. of y ftaV/L* Anderson. Alter a long and delightful drive j, / through the country the bridal party arrived e at. the home of the pareDts of the groom, jj where a large concourse of friends and rela- p . . lives had assembled to do honor to the fair bride and handsome groom. After heart-felt 0 and sincere congratulations supper was anuounced. Then came a feast that was both y Ha magnificent and sumptuous, and as the feslive bowl went round the gay and merry par- a _ *Sk\ ty gradually relieved the table of the rich a yak TBI load under which it literally groaned. fim 38 Miss Gambrell is one of Anderson's bright- a Em est gems, and with her sweet and lovely die- a r&[Jp3l position is well fluted to adorn the household w rrfflfisr/ whore she is to reign supreme. 8< SlMtPy Marshall Is one of our best young men and p h&Zs' Is indeed worthy of the treasure he has gain- ai ed.

GhIIouh a >1 innte. . r S^|Jk e The final test at our deep well 1b abundant- r .-l 'y satisfactory, both as to quantity and qual- tj lty of the water. fa&Wf The reports vary as to the capacity of the c ' *" *' pump. Home say It. is ISO gnllons to the mln- c ute. Others say It Is 20C gallons to the minute, a ?\ Either figure would make more than we need s J and more than we expected. At first, we be- t ) lleve. It was thought that35 gallons would be e themlnum. When the well bad reached a V, /\f O-a fr%e\4 n (ao( n?oa anH ll* troo a I found that the flow was 70 gallons to the mln- ] ute. But the Water Commissioner!) ba<l a {head or two of their own, and instead of I stopping or digging another well, they simply ^ : ordered the contractor to go to a depth of 500 S feet. The test has now been made, but nobody really knows how much the flow is, the pump was run seven hours right straight ____J along, and the supply of water nevei diminished. There may be a great, quantity of water but we know that 180 or *i00 gallons a rainI pf nit "te lias been pumped out for seven hours. The actual flow is not known to anybody. tc But It was estimated that 35 gallons a m inute 1H was enough. Some of the cotton mill owners were scared for fear that the town would twant to borrow too much from the branch, ? and thus inconvenience the mill, but it turns out t hat the well affords enough surplus to run the mill. We sometimes get scared too ' quick. We will have enough water for all conceivable purposes?bath tubs,gardens, oil mills, cotton mills?to sav nothing of household supplies. If anybody's cry for six long weeks in the month of August should be "warther, warther, warther/' we can quench his thirst and duck him, loo. Our people are very proud of the great success which has attended the digging of our -? "" " sj ' the cotton mill. All the Machinery In Place?The Unoccupied Space May be Filled at an Early Day. The starting of the last of the looms will be accomplished this week, and this will set all . :'r ':\ the wheels agoing. Owing to the scarcity of money It was "> !? thought bi?st not to buy everything before some of the machinery was set in motion. - But the financial outlook of the Cotton Mill Is better than It evir was.
