t /* The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Aj-PabllNhed every Wednesday at 52 a year In advance. Wednesday, Nov. 22, 1899. It Fools Nobody. Tbe Stale says: The Abbeville Press and Banner Is becoming addicted to tbe habit ot complimenting The State. Here is the latest: "We would suggest that tlie legislature appoint The State a committee of one, with power to send for persons and papers, and tbe appointment ol a sworn stenographer who shall record every word of the testimony. And that this committee of one, or, If It be desired to Increase the number or the committee. add two members of the house and t,wo from the senate of the chairman's choosing, who shall report to the general assembly, furnishing copy of tbe testimony upon which said report Is based. "If there has been fraud in tbe management of the dispensary we want to know it, aud the public Is entitled to the information. "If our memory serves us correctly there has been made within tbe last few years, a Whole lot of onarges and Insinuation against public officials, or candidates for office, and as lar as we cau uuw icwumi iuj i?n v< them have been proven. "Let us nave tbe Investigation of the dispensary, and let those who are opposed to It be placed on the committee. "It Is time tbat charges and Insinuations give glace to proof, and we hope that all the investigation tbat la desired may be bad in s tbe most thorough manner, and tbat If any member of tbe board has been guilty or misconduct tbat be be dismissed at once, l^et no guilty man escape. "Let tbe Investigation prooeed. Tbe mak>| lng of unproven obarges is one thing and wrong doing are two different things." Tbe State further says : If It were possible for Tbe State to And out tbe secret workings of tbe dispensary tbe pobllo wonld have known the facts long ago without any appointment from tbe legislature. ? - dannoi* la oIyxtqtto oorlAna ao luoilood iuiu ahiuuct. io ui ii %mj o dviivwsi we infer that there Is no attempt at humor Id tbe suggestions above, bo tbat we may remind tbe Abbeville paper tbat' tbe legislature has no power to appoint Tbe State a committee and besides tbere is do probability tbat tbe legislature would wish to do so. But even if a committee ol investigation were appointed, it would bardly diBoover very mucb because lis powers would be limited to tbe confines of tblB State and tbe witnesses wbo are in tbis State oould not very well give evidence without Incriminating themselves. Should an investigation be ordered, tbe committee ought to be composed of honest men, be tbey lavorable or opposed to tbe dispensary, men wbo would not fall or fear to do their full duty. While we believe that an Investigation might reveal some interesting scandals, It Is quite evident that tbe plea lor an Investigation Is only a subterfuge to postpone aotion until after the session of the legislature and -next samcqer's campaign. This attempt to stave off tbe light Is too transparent to fool anybody who has a grain of sense. Tbe people should be already convinced tbat the dispensary Is a rotten and corrupt machine and If tbe legislature Interprets public sentiment correctly, we believe the system will be abolished at tbe approacblng session. The dlspensaryltes of tbe Abbeville Press and Banner stripe are not tbe wisest friends of tbe great moral institution. The sharper members of tbat party are ready to admit some short comings JUBt enougb to make a compromise possible, and to agree a certain changes. The sponsor lor tbe dispensary is smart enougb to take this position and by so doing be hopes to avoid an investigation while at tbe same time winning over enemies by oflering tbe semblance of a relorm in tbe system. But neltber will this fool any Doay woo is not anxious 10 ne iooiea. The only remedy, as we have pointed oat before, Is for the opponents or tne dispensary to combine and abolish It, for tbey bave tbe power. Tber6 Is nothing to be gained by a compromise such as 1b offered, which 1b wholly to tbe advantage of tbe dispensary, and an Investigation would not convince minds like that of Tbe Press and Banner, wblcb refuse to be influenced by tbe abundance of evidence brought to light during the whole period of the dispensary's existence. Upon which the Press and Banner would V/<?, remark: If tbe good name of tbe dispensary demands It, investigation should be made of tbe conduct of tbe Institution. If frand Is being perpetrated on tbe public tbe gailty parties should be removed and brought to Justice. The gentlemen of tbe Board of Control who support Douthit in cheating tbe publlo by placing XXX's on X- liquor and charging the price of XXX-liquor for X- liquor should be allowed an opportunity to explain. As matters now stand their personal good name as well as the parity of their official record may >be the subject or unpleasant thought^ even lr these gentlemen should escape open and public denunciation. Tbe conduct ot tbe members of tbe Board of Control In supporting Doutblt In committing In their name an admitted fraud on the pabllc Is one thing that Bhoold certainly be explained. At this distance their position places them at a disadvantage before tbe public. We do not see bow the men who try to correct Irregularities should have bo much unfavorable criticism, while tbe men who excuse Doulhit tor bis admitted wrongdoing * - should receive no attention. We Join Tbe State most heartily and In all slnoerety In demanding an lnvestlgalon. We knew of course that the Legls'. lature could not appoint The State on tbe Investigating committee without his consent, but we thought be might serve, and If be would we know of no one whom we believe to . be more able or more willing to expose any rascamy loai migm exisi. it idis newspa. per has any Influence whatever we shall lend oar aid In .the most vigorous search for improper conduct in the dispensary. In Justice to the gentlemen of the Board of Control who have placed themselves in such an ugly light before the public, we will urge that tbey be allowed to tell the people of this State why they condoned or excused the admitted fraud which was committed, by anotber.ln their own name. There are some things which we do not understand, and the attitude of these gentlemen In excusing Douthitand desiring to continue him in office Is one of them. Redaction of Representation. The New York World's article on reduction of congressional (representation from tb? South is interesting, and when all the facts * -f are considered, we believe that every 8late in the Union should be placed on exactly the \ same fooling. Why should tbe South be given more than her fair share of representatives In oongress ? If a reduction of tbe number of representatives from the South should make us free from friction and embarrassment because of the race issues, we would welcome it. If a reduction of the representation in Congress should force Democratic majorities to respeot the protests of large minorities In tbe adoption of their platforms we would be glad to see tbe number of Congressmen reduced. Owing to the fact that tbe white people of the South are bound to vote the Democratic ticket, no matter how distasteful tbe platform may be, tbe feellDgs and convictions of large minorities are disregarded, tbe ma. Jorlty running rough shod over the minorities. Of course if we bad not tbe race Issue as a menace, tbe Democratic party would abandon tbe 16-to-l proposition. Nobody would be foolish enough to believe that such a proposition would stand tbe ghost of a chance. But aside from the Injustice to tbe minority, there Is not tbe semblance of right In counting the ballots of people who are disfranchised* If It were not for the effort to count votes of disfranchised negroes the good name of the South wonkl not be periodically assailed at Washington. The defamer of bis own people would not hope to be rewarded with honors or emoluments If it were not for the effort to count tbe ballots of disfranchised nAnnlfl. If it were not for efforts to count the votes of disfranchised people, we would have fewer riots and less bloodshed in the South. . Send your horse or mule to C. P. Hammond's shop and have them shod right. St My" ' . mrr??iii mi wm mm iiij _ I A U A j ? Ns m 5 n Alu gicoi oU Mistaken. The Newberry Obierver is generally correct la its editorial conclaBlon8, but last week that Daper entirely misunderstands public sentiment on tbe subject of taxation. That paper seems to believe that tbe people desire a lower rate of taxation, when exactly tbe reverse Is true. A majority of tbe citizens in every town, township and county prefer tbe higher taxation. This assertion is borne out by tbe fact that in nearly every instance where tbe people are allowed to vole on tbe question of raising tbe tax tbey vote tbe increase. Tbe demand tor higher taxes is so universal tbattbe framers of our constitution saw tbe necessity for providing against allowing tbe people to vote away more than eight per cent, of their money. Let our neighbor examine tbe facts as to bis own town. Was any proposition to increase tbe taxes ever voted down ? Tbe history of Abbeville does not record tbe defeat ot :a single vote on 7 tbe increase of taxes. Bat In her first attempt to bond the town Abbeville has been singularly unsuccessful in getting bad debts settled upon the town. Our successful and unsuccessful efforts in that line may be enumerated as follows: 1. A vote of five per oent. In bonds to the Cumberland Gap road?about 930,000. Tbe poad failed to come. Wben time limit bad expired, anotber vote of tbe people showed i that tbey were still anxious to get In debt, and extended tbe time limit. Tbe road again failed to come to time, and tbose in charge of tbe issuing of the bonds declined to even put them "in eschro." And so tbe people were defeated in their first attempt to get a good healthy debt on tbe town. 2. Their second attempt was In voting for tbe benefit of the S. A. L. road three per cent in bonds on tbe township of Abbeville, about 821,000. Tbe voting, as you may rest assured, was all right, but the railroad declined to aocept the bonds. And so tbe second attempt to get a good debt on the town failed. 8. When one of the roads failed to come to time, and whan the other refused to take our boods, dry ao, tbe town was In a bad fix. We bad ao debt and we bad bo taxes to speak of. A proposition was made to build a school house. Tbe people voted 815,000 to build It, Tbe bonds were issued and tbe debt stuck, and Is yet sticking to us closer than a brother. 4. Having secured a sobool bouse, we bad to have money?S4,000 or $5,000, we believe?to run it. The usual proceeding was had, and tbe annual tax for that purpose was eagerly voted. 5. Encouraged by great strides in the line of progress when our school house was built, enterprising citizens proposed to vote $17,000 in bonds to secure the Seaboard Air Line shops. Tbe vote was carried with a hurrah. But the Seaboard still didn't want town bonds. It was ready cash that tbe road wanted. A number of patriotic gentlemen consented to sign a batik note for theamount, If the bonds were deposited as collateral. They were so good that capitalists would be sure to buy them. Tbe note became due. The sureties paid the money, and divided out the bonds among themselves, when the debt was safely saddled on tbe town. 6. Tbe next effort at going in debt was without difficulty. Water bonds to tbe amount of 825,000 was voted and sold without I trouble. 7. The bonded debt was now nearlng tbe constitutional limit. Electric lights were a {necessity. A ten-year contract at 82,400 a year?or :324,000 for ten years?was entered Into. No constitutional limit Interfered, it was thought. I These same facts, with slight variation, | would apply to many towns In South Carolina. Tbe fact Is, we have seldom heard of any 8outh Carolina community voting I against higher taxes. WlththefactBbeforens.no amount of affidavits by any sort of men could convince us that tbe people object to higher taxation.

Cothran, formerly of Chiles Cross Roads, near Bradley. He died at his home In Greenwood Sunday night November 19, 1899, in the sixtythird year of his age.

Pleasant betters. f The following Is a copy of letters which will be sent to about sixty citizens of Abbeville : Abbeville, 8. C., Nov. 20, 1899. M-\ Dear Sir: Enclosed please find oar check . No. od The Merohaotlle National Batik, of New York City, drawn to your order in the mm of dollars, the same being a semi- J: annual dividend of 3 per cent, on sbares of The Abbeville Cotton Mills stock, now standing In your name on the books of the t Mill. Please acknowledge receipt and oblige, J Very truly yours, The Abbeville Cotton Mills. The only variation In the form of the letter being the name of the party addressed and the number of the sbares upon which three per cent, dividend Is paid. Captain Dawson once said, that checks were "as welcome as a 1 daisy in a cow's mouth." As far as we know these cotton mill checks are no exception, and will be reoelved with pleasure by those who bold stock in the best enterprise that Abbeville has ever undertaken. In the past a few of the stockholders became weary of waiting and Bold their shares, but the great majority of them are still holding on, and the Press and Banner trusts that they may ^ oontmue to bold on. When stock in a good enterprise has once been paid for, It is well to lay that much away, and keep It salted down* for a rainy day, which will be sure to come to 1 too many of us before we have ended our 1 days. In' after years we will be proud of ' the Btock as well for a souvenir as for the 1 proQt of boldfng it. Citizens of Abbeville 1 will rejoice in the success which has crowned J their efforts to build the best cotton mill In America. The coast is now clear, and under ' the present skillful management, the stock- ' holders have nothing to fear. Desired re- ( suits for the future are about as well assured as any human event can be, that is not abso- ' lntely fixed. ' Prom start to finish the finest machinery ' has been bought. The location, the water, tbe mill bouse, the warehouses, the office, the operatives and officers houses are of tbe best, and notblDg remains to be done, except to run tbe machinery. Its spindles and cards make ceaseless muslo night and day. Running on full time, the seml-aunua) dividends are sure to come. The success of tbe Abbeville Cotton Mill is no longer a question. It will make money right along, and be a blessing to all our people. Tbe success of tbe mill Is largely due to the tact and the ability of President Bailey. Of course he could not build a mill wlthout.cooperation, but tbe fact that be secured cooperation In tbe prosecution of a new and untried enterprise at Abbeville shows tbe merit of the man. Tbe confidence in which he Is held by bis neighbors who placed their whole trust in his ability to carry tbe enterprise to a successful Issue must be to him a pleasant memory. Tbose who are not familiar with tbe magnitude of tbeundertaklng have little idea of tbe wear and tear of mind and body tbat come from the perplexing Incidents wblcb arise to worry and cause anxiety daring a four year's constant struggle In unbeaten paths. But as hope ends In fruition, so does anxiety end in the accomplishment of a successful Issue. The mill is now as solid as the everlasting bills, and Abbeville has an Industry which will forever stand as a monument to the wisdom and public spirit of those who built it. . Nhootlntf at ScllerH. Mr. J. D. Haselden, and four othars engagad In a shooting scrape at Sellers one day last week, as a result of the recent slanderous publications in reference to members of the Board of Control. We have not ought to inform Ourself as to who tired the first shots, or as to who was brave, or who was otherwise. These questions are of no concern to us. Whoever may be In the wrong in the shooting, it is certain to our mind tbat newspapers which publish scandalous accusations are not blameless. The dispensary law may be a very bad thing, and the gentlemen of the Board of Control may deserve to have their lives and their characters assassinated, but It Is unlawful to shoot them, and it is not to the credit of either the writers of anonymous letters or the publishers of such literature that such ( - - ? acis are pruvuncu. It seems tbat neither the Haseldens nor the , Sellers were surprised. They were well j armed, and did not hesitate to shoot. Laws against violations of the peace of , the State should be enforced, even if those J who are opposed to the dispensary should ( with pen and shot gun aeiume to regulate , matters. ( The State would be the veriest coward on ( tbe face of the earth, and the members of the Legislature would deierve public contempt, if , they should yield to the demand of those , who would attempt to use force In the repeal ?, UI a law. The opponents of tbe dispensary law should j appeal to reason, and not to tbe force of personal abuse and tbe use of the shot gun. If they lay aside reason they need expect no success In their efforts to make a good law odious. j Mllford & DuPre has Just received tbe finest line of perfumery ever seen In Abbeville, i, | Prices reasonable. f W Si TV ? ? 9 ^1UNDER HOTEL.] \F?E SELLING let Choice Befor i. $8 Slits for 14. ?
