Hero WorKlilit-Can Hie Kinir Do Any
Wrong: ?
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.

Long Cane, S. C., Oct. 23,1S07.
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. We are glad, to know they will make
their home with us, and extend to the fair i(
young bride a hea rty welcome into our midst. Ht

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

All the Machinery In Place?The Unoccupied

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. Already about
-->?> t 570,000 of the ?125,000 of preferred stock has
-&M I n been spoken for, and It looks as if the whole ,
would bo in demand before the meetlne of
