Ing the appearance of an Ideal Southern

PATROTIC ASSOCIATION. ?
We notice by the public press of the State ii
. that a general call has been made to the
patriotic ladles of South Carolina asking b
them 10 organize themselves In an associa- 0
tlon to be known as the "Association of tl
Patriotic Award." The object of the organiza- tl
tlon being to raise funds to purchase a medal '
for Lieutenant Victor Blue ibe brave, courag- P
, eous, and daring South Carolinian who n
risked all on earth, even life itself, for the o
. love of the "Stars and Stripes" and his "na- tl
live land." Victor Blue and his daring deed o
makes him one of the brightest heroes of the t:
Spanish-American War. His thrilling and T
fearless deed, with his name made famous h
thereby, will be handed down through bis- ti
tory to unborn generations as one of the most
gallant and daring deeds ever ascribed to a P
South Carolinian, and which will ever be ti
enshrined in the hearts and memories of the I'
( Amerlcen people. In honor to Lieutenant >'
Victor Blue a meeting of the patriotic ladies w
of Abbeville has been called for next Friday w
afternoon. We are sure that the ladles of v
this historic old town will turn ont in full
force to do honor to the gallant son of South it
. Carolina, esteeming It a privilege to oontrl- a
bute to such a noble and patriotic cause. "

BELIGI0D8 SERVICES.
On last Sunday mornlug pastor Rev. J. W.
Daniel preached a fine sermon from Acts 27;
I 55 and 30. At tbe conclusion of tbe services,
tbe celebration of tbe Lords Supper was com
' memorated. At night Kev. W. X. Harmon,
Presiding Elder, preached. On Friday night
the first Quarterly Conference of the Abbeville
station for this year was'held. Sunday
' was a bright, b'.Umy, sprlDg like day. Is It of
any significance, that notwithstanding all the
1 continued bad weather, this year, . almost
I every Sabbath has been a bright day. We
1 are Indeed a highly favored people and should
, remember, "To whom mufch is given, much
will be required."
I THE HUB.
This Is the sign of another new firm in Abbeville.
They should advertise in the Press
! and Banner and have "a large "circle" of
"rotating" around the Hub, then their busl;
ness will be lively these hard times. In dull
, times there Is nothing like "Printers Ink."
1 Try It,

i The rainy season seems to be upon us, and
1 If It Is anything like this In Cuba, we don't
blame our boys for wishing to come home.
We don't remember ever to have beard so
, much complaint, or to have seen the roads In ]
3 such bad condition, almost impassable all
, over the county, thereby almost stopping
public travel and causing a great falling off
} In business of all kinds.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY. j
His excellency and those in authority un)
der him should send a force to the Islands
recently gained by conquest, and swep that
disturbing and lawless element from the face
of the earth. This faction has become emboldened
by the already too great leniency
extended to them by the United States. We
believe Injustice and right, and would say ]
In Justice to our soldiers, and In honor to our
j country, let us either take the Islands, recently
gained at such tremendous cost, or
_ call back our troops and give them up forever.
Let the war be more aggressive, and
j less defensive. Clean them up, and that at
once, and maintain our honor as a nation In 1
3 the eyes of the world. <

ATTACK ON MANILA.
The Navy Department Believes Thi
an Engagement In In Progrens T?
day In tbe Very Heart of the Clt]
Washington, Feb. 6.?Admiral Dewey hi
abled tbe navy department today i
allows:
"Manila, Feb. 6.?Secretary of the Nav;
Washington; Insurgents bave attack*
lanlla. Tbe Boston leaves today for Hollo I
elleve the Baltimore, which will return 1
lanlla. Two men wounded yesterday c
oard Monadnock, one seriously. (Signed
)ewey."
The receipt of this dispatch announclu
bat tbe Insurgents had attacked Man!
aused a commotion at tbe war departmei
nd tbe text of tbe dispatch was transmltU
bere by tbe navy department. The first coi
luslon reached was tbat another battle wi
">? ho insnnpnwere not confli
ag their attacks to tbe American lines, bi
re re directing them at tbe city of Manila 1
elf. But upon consideration, tbe officla
eached the conclusion that they wei
llstaken in this conclusion and that b
ome of those mishaps that frequently ooct
his was simply a delayed dispatch froi
>ewey. General Corbln pointed out in suj
ort of this idea that tbe postscrip to Generi
ilia's dispatch last night describing tbe batt
f Saturday night and Sunday morning wi
Bcelved at tbe war department at ll,o'cIoc
ist night or more than four hours In advan<
f receipt of tbe story o( tbe battle wblc
bould have preceded It. Then, too, Generi
itis's last message was of sucb a reassurlc
ature and spoke so deolslvely of the drivlo
ff of tbe Insurgents that it was believe
earcely probable tbat they could have r
ewed tbe attack upon tfce Americans t
oon after their defeat,
Tbe naval opinion was Just tbe reverse <
bis. Naval officers feel sure that Dewey
ispatcbes bad not been inverted and tbi
bere bad been more fighting. Of tbe ou
ome tbey bad liltle doubt, pointing out tbi
lewey's guns command tbe entire olty an
be approaches beyond, affording a mo
atisfaotory backing for General Otis' open
Ions.

0 taken In consideration the opinion of tt
'lllplnos attached to the (unto bere to tl:
Sect that the amount of attaofc of Satorda
'as preciplttated and not promedlated tbi
1 was so preclplated by the unexpected fell
ag of a Filipino by ap American guard an
bat tbe result was to bring on an action i
ae weakest part of tbe Filipino lines.
If this opinion Is well founded It woul
eem to be possible that the naval view
orrect and that tbe Filipinos began action i
aelr strongest point, between Manila an
lalolos, tbe insurgent capital, about 15 mill
Istant from Manila.
