About MnlldlnK Mills.
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

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.

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.

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

The elegant home of Phosphate Inspector
A. W. Jones presented a scene of beauty and

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

with presses and types, and none have bettei
or more willing printers.

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. '

The Coldest Weather. i
We have had the coldest spell of weather

In our town there were but few cases of suffering
that needed reller from the charitable.
One or two supernumerary tramps were nearly
frozen.
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.

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

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.

official member, always ready and willing to
