Numerically speaking;, about one half or more of tbe mills tbat have been built In thie State wltbln tbe laBt lew years bave not been abundantly successful, while the other ball bave brought about results, which have been more or less satlsfc ctory. The value of tho presence of a mill to the oommunlty Is not to be questioned. Tbe building of a cotton mill is a hazardous a business for tbe stockholders. As far as we are Informed, very few of the mills, which are built Independent of Northern oo-oporation, have been very successful, while some have gone Into other bands, and others are now In conditions which are not satisfactory. The "Northern" mills In this section, we believe, without exoeptlon, are doing well. The Northern stockholders of the Southern mills as a rule, are the best and most skillful mill men In the country. They know good machinery, they know when It Is properly ran, and they know bow to manage the sales ol the goods. They visit tbe mills In wbicb they are Interested, and after careful examination, give tbe necessary information as to bow the local men may run the machinery to tbe best advantage. Look at the Southern mills that have sought 'k 'l- to go It alone, without the co-operation ol Northern mill men, and you will be satisfied of tbe correctness of what we say. Withont exception the mills which are owood and governed by experienced Northern mill men, are In fine condition, while the same healthful condition 1b not trne of all the Southern mills. If local stockholders and the local offloers will follow the directions of the Northern v ' mill men, there is little doubt of ultimate success. Bat under the most favorable circumstances stockholders should not expect a dividend under from three to five years from the time dirt is broken. The Idea that "small industries" can be established with any certalnlty of success Is not to be entertained. It requires greater ability to run a little plnhook business than la needed to ran a great establishment. Is Southern people make the mistake of buildIng cheap houses. Northern mill men do not , Invest money Is cheap houses. Maybe you would like an expression of our opinion as to the value of the Abbeville Cotton Mill stock. We would not exohaDge ,5 f nnr hnldlnorc fr\r on*r nthop ""1T V lit i I Col. DarcBn'a Letter. The Press and Banner takes pleasure In presenting the letter of Col. Dargan. From It will be sees that his letter to the Greenville News placed blm in an erroneous light before tbe public. He 1b not a desparado, but a man of peace. ( \V' " It occurs to as, that tbe whole vllliflcation and misrepresentation of this people comes $ '' from the fact of their long forbearance. If they had properly resented former insults, and bad justly punished the ringleaders of all the irritation tbat has harassed and ano" noyed this people for a quarter of a century, t'. writers for the press would have bad less P grounds lor assinatlng, or lynching, the good name of this people. Convinced of this faot, It is altogether probable that hereafter quick and sure punishment will be Indicted at the W"t-' ,i 1 nrnnflr timo We have had mnch advice by people who assumed to know our own business better than we did, but no man, as far as we have * Been, has ever attempted to apportion the y blame. No man has ever uttered a homily on the evil of negroes killing white Democratic managers of eleotlon. - No sermons on the subject of negroes waylaying the publlo highway, and shooting Inoffensive white men as they were going home, V has been delivered. i But the number of supercilious leotures which have been delivered to ub on the sub* Jeot of lynoblngs, will never be known to the * A general publlo. If we bad defended ourselves twenty-five years ago those who would now assassinate our good name would have less excuse lor their aotlon. We are pleased with the tone and spirit of Mr. Dargan's letter. It will be useless for him, however, to lecture us on tbe subject of lynching. If he cboosen to warn negroes of tbe evil ot waylaying tbe publlo highways and shooting travellers, he may do some good. ft If be should admonish whits men against the danger of arming negroes for the sole purpose of shooting white men at our elections be may prevent riots and bloodshed. :'\t Bat tbis people, it seems to as, will not be longer Insalted and shot, wlthont resenting the offence. Two Deaths and a Marriage. Slnoe our Issue of last Wednesday, one family has oelebrated the happiest event tbat oomee to as, tbat of our own marriage, or tbe aaltable marriage of those who are nearest and dearest to us. Tbe happy event occurred In the house of our fellow-citizen, Mr. A. W. Jones, where his loveable and loving daughter was married to Mr. McDavId, as worthy and as deserving a young man as wo have among as. J ?uv v* tuc ottujo uay rue uuuuehold of J. Henry Latimer, were mournlDg lor the dead husbaud and father, who bad Just closed bis earthly career and gone oat from amongst us. Oa last Monday, the sad intelligence reached Abbeville that Mr. Samuel C. Cason, a member of the Abbeville Bar, had died In Columbia, whither he had gone to serve as clerk In the House of Representatives daring the present session. ifc' ? Happy Younjf People. As announced last week, Miss Bessie Jones and Mr. James Edward McDavld were married last Wednesday, February 8, 1899. The wedding took plaoe at twelve o'clock, the Rev. T. H. Plemmons performing the ceremony and uniting the loving hearts In the holy bonds of matrimony. The bride never looked prettier and the groom bad reason to be the happiest man on earth. Both are young, both are loving, both are healthy. The prospects for their lature are promising, and both are hopeful. What everybody says must be so, and they all say IUtAl> IU1B K SKUUU UJttlCtl. The elegant home of Phosphate Inspector A. W. Jones presented a scene of beauty and happiness. The warm hearts and the cheerful Ingle within were In striking contrast with the frozen ground and piercing blasts without. What Say Yon to This ? Last Wednesday afternoon between twc and three o'clock the copy of a brief which made sixty-five printed pages, was put lntc the hand8 of the printers In the Press and Banner office. By eleven o'clook that night all the type was set, and part of the brief was printed. Next morning the Job was easllj finished and put in the Exprsss office in time to take the train going to the customer In the jow oouairy. p or oneis we cnarge on ly sixly cents a page. Few offices are better equipped with presses and types, and none have bettei or more willing printers. Fresh candy in any quantity you want at Xllford & DuPre's Drug Store. . ' On With the Dnnce. Thinking It possible that silence might be misconstrued, we refer to a ramor which has gained more or less currency on our streets, to the eflect that the Seaboard Air Line people Intend to withdraw their trade from such business firms as give their custom to the > Press and Banner. No organized boycotting of any of our peo- , pie by the employes of the Railroad could be effected without the knowledge or connivance of those In authority. And while this newspaper has a most conservative opinion i of the ability and tact of the general officers of that road, we never once dreamed that , they would attempt so foolish a thine; as that of interfering with the private business of any citizen. The railroad people, however, ( , cannot attack the business of this newspaper, except In an indirect way. With a few honorable exceptions, they do not subsorlbe for this newspaper, and unless they borrow thfe paper the great mass of them have no right to know what advertisements it contains. Our business men are self-respecting citizens, and we have no Idea that the sentiments of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad will | be consulted when they have advertising or nrlnllncr h? dnnp. And if the Railroad authorities should undertake to Instruct our merchants, they will most likely resent their , ' Impertinent Intrusion Into matters which do not concern them. We are sorry that we have fT very poor respect for Mr. St. John Vice i President of the Seaboard Air Line, and we sincerely hope that the new owners of the road may exercise a wholesome Influence 1 over him and other general officers of that road. The freight business of this newspaper Is not enough to support a railroad, but, such as It has been, we have given the larger portion < of It to the road whose representatives now I seek to destroy the business of their customer. Great corporations, jvltb the slightest disposition to the friendly have no sort of trouble In making friends of the people, i even If every request for favor, or accommodation, Is denied. Agaod stock ol politeness ] is worth much. In the past the Press and Banner has met j with formidable boycotts, aud we have at times Incurred the displeasure of those who i may have have thought they possessed the j divine rlgbt to stamp oat this Institution, { but we are here still, our efforts having been rewarded by a suocess which has been and Is quite satisfactory to falm who Is most interested. | Feeling competent to stand at least one < more boycott by people who have never been 1 friendly, we weloome the fray, and hope to ( be at the finish. t Let the Seaboard Air Line now proceed to do its worst j In the past a sufficient number of friends i have always stood to the Press and Banner in J the bourn when danger was threatened, and | they will hardly desert us now. I While each and all may exercise the right J to straighten ue out on occasion, yet when j outsiders come In and propose to do us up < they will be with us. f ' Death ol S. C. Casod. Our people were really sorry to hear of the < unexpected death of Samuel C. Cason, last ' Monday. t He bad gone to Columbia tc earn something 1 aa o.ierk of the House of Renresentatl ves. About a week ago bo was taken sick, and last Monday be came home In that great sleep wblob knows no waking. The environment makes tbis death one of the saddest that we have recorded In many a day. Having suffered from 111 health, and having survived business reverses, be was again In better health and looking hopefully for the future. The fidelity of the loving wife sustained blm in bis efforts, and ber devotion to blm excited tbe deepest sympathy ofiour peo. pie In her sore bereavement. The loss to her and to her little children Is great, and cold is tbe heart that is not touched at tbe contemplation of the calamity that has befallen those who so much need the love and tenderness of the husband and father. Mr. Cason was a member of the Abbeville Bar, and possessed a fine legal mind. In his Judgment of the law he ranked well with bis 1 brethren and bis opinions were much respected by his clients. Ho had an even temper, and was seldom j swayed from bis eqallllbrlm by the excite- i ment of tbe boar, or by the fierceness of tbe confllot wblcb might have beea going on around blm. For thlB reason be was often tbe defender of tbe oppressed, and bis courage to defend tbe friendless, regardless of clamor, was so often in evidence tbat it might bave been considered a trait of bis character to deal Justly in bis mind with all men. In tbe conduct of bis law business be was courteous to his fellow-lawyers, and for tbe fee'inp;s and rights ot clients and witnesses be was ever considerate. His demeanor In all tbe walks of life was tbat of tbe self-respecting gentlemao, yielding due honor to others, and demanding the same from those with whom he had intercourse. In bis heart there was nothing but kindness for all, and of none did be ever speak unkindly. He looked charitably upon tbe faults of j others, and was the defender of tbose who ] were unjustly assailed in bis presence. , 2 He was alwayB chaste In bis speecb, gentle- j mamy in nin onariDg, auu kiuu w mi wnu i wbom he associated. ' < > I High Prnfee From, n High Source.

These four decades be bus been owner and editor. Few publishers Id bis section have been a greater success, or built up a newspaper of more commanding influence." i The Coldest Weather. i We have had the coldest spell of weather which bas visited this country lo fifty years.

Owing to the cold religious services In our churches were suspended on Sunday, and for the same reason our business houses did little on Monday and yesterday. The cotton mill people were in good shape, and but little lnoonvenlence was felt there.

Latimer was bora near Lowndesvllle, October 16th, 1848, and died In the city of Abbeville. at his home on Secession Hill. February 8. 1899, at 10.30 o'clock, a.m. The deceased always led an active and Industrious life and as a farmer accumulated a good share of this world good. Mr. Latimer was well known In business circles, especially In this city and in consideration of this, and In attestation of the love and esteem lu which be was held by our people the stores of the city were closed and all business suspended during the time of bis funeral services. The deceased was a faithful member and willing worker In the Methodist oburch of this city, and as be lived so he died, trusting In the merits of a risen Saviour. His funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Daniel In Upper Long Cane cemetery amid a large number of sorrowing friends. As the last sad rites closed and Borrowing friends and loved ones turned away loving bands strewed beautiful flowerH over his grave, bright tokens of love and affection, tbe last ottering tbat could be made by tender and loving bands. In tbe deatb of J. H. Latimer Abbeville bas lost a good citizen, whose memory Is revered by many true friends, all of whom tender to tbe grief stricken family tbetr sincere sympathy. DEATH OF SAMUEL C. CASON. Once more In tbe short space of a lew days comes tbe sad news of the unexpected and almost sudden deatb of our esteemed townsman Samuel C. Cai-oo. Mr. Cason accepted a situation In the legislature at the time of Its present assembling, as recording secretary (we believe). A short time ago he became 111, his wife, and brother, Dr. C. W. Cason, were summoned,and upon careful examination by the best pbysiolans of the city It was thought that an operation was necessary, the operation was performed on Saturday evening, after which be died about one o'clock last Monday morning. His remains being brought to this city Monday afternoon on the three o'clock train over the Southern. This news was sad Indeed, and unlooked for by our people, and has brought sorrow to many hearts. Mr. Cason has been in publlo life for many years, and was well known by the people of Abbeville county, especially .as a lawyer of tbe Abbeville bar. The deceased was a member of tbe Methodist church of this city since early boybood, for many years he was an active, zealous and official member, always ready and willing to ilo to the best of bis ability. His funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Daniel at bis borne In this city on Tuesday tbe 14tb lost/alter which bis remains were interred in Upper Long Cane cemetery in tbe presence of many sorrowing friends. Ills aged parents md nrlef stricken family, wife and children, brothers and sisters, have the sincere sympathy of many friends in this communi ty. CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEET.
