The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. O. 4ti-Pnbllshed every Wednesday at S2 a year in advance. Wednesday, May 2,190U. Boosting (be Town. We copy an editorial from the Greenville News which might be read with profit. As far as this town is concerned, It seems to us that, unlesR somebody does something, It 1b finished, and there remains nothing else to be done. This newspaper for six months has been trying to arouse interest in at least one of the many enterprises that we might secure by a little effort. We have urged every conceivable enterprise from a warehouse to a cotton mill, Including oil mills, yarn mills, knitting mills, and banks. But It seems that nobody cares particularly about helping any public enterprise. If we had another cotton mill, the business of the city would be greatly Improved. If we bad another oil mill, and could manufacture the surplus seed that is annually shipped away from Abbeville, the stockholders would have reason to expect good dividends on their investment. A 40-ton mill can he built for $25,000. A 20-ton mill can be bnilt for $16,000. Add to the oost of eltner *4,uuu lor a ginnery. If a company, with 850,000 capital could be organized we might build a small yarn mill, and buy the machines for knitting it. This would give employment to many bands. These plants can always be constructed so that they can be enlarged. Abbeville is perhaps the only town of its size in America which has not a warehouse. If a company could be organized a good warehouse might pay handsome dividend*. The town certainly needs a place for storing goods of all kinds. One advantage of a warehouse is that the farmers can store their cotton and draw money on their warehouse receipts. The banks will be benefitted in lending money at a time when their vaults are running over with money waiting for investment. Money advanced on cotton would be paid back to the banks in time to lend it to the farmers in the Spring. The same is true of oil mills. The oil mills need money as soon as the seed is In the market. As soon as the seed is in the market the banks are being paid the money which wan loaned to farmers. By lending to the /armerw in the Spring, and by accommodating the oil mills the money in our banks would be kept in constant use. If, therefore, we had a warehouse, and another oil mill, the surpluH capital of our hAnlcn noulfl be used nrofltablv the vear round. But this newspaper would not weary our people. This citizen Is In condition to sit still, and can afford to do so, as well as a majority of men, but we want to see the town grow and prosper. If young; men like Messrs. J. Hayne McDill and Wyatt Aiken would take bold of the matter we have no doubt that an organization of some kind could be effected wbicb would bring good results. Let them see to it, or else let us write the town down as finished, Nick Neighbor. I Sherman, It will be remembered, burned every factory and mill on bis route through Georgia and the CarollnaR. Our New Eogiand friends probably entertain a heartfelt regret now that he did not delay bis march about thirty-five years. What a streak of big chimneys be would have left, to be sure.? - * News and Courier. We are sorry to see our metropolitan con. temporary out of humor, and so often appealing to sectional antagonisms. 8peaking for this newspaper tblB editor feels very grateful to the New England friends who Invested their money with us, and built for us a cotton mill which Is inferior to none. In the hour of our supreme efforts to build a ootton mill at Abbeville, we appealed to Charleston to Invent with us, or to loan u8 money. But never a dollar would Charleston invest, and never a dollar would that olty lend us except at runlous rates ol Interest. Capitalists of Greenville accommodated us with an amount of money loaned at fair rates. Wilmington, N.C., then came to our rescue, with money at a low rate of Interest for borrowed money, and so It was that the chief olty of the State refused to he frlen ily with Abbeville. * New England friends came to our help. Some took big blocks of stock, and otherB let us have money, and from them we are still getting the cash wltL which to buy cotton, or for other purposes when we need It. But the ' mill at present owes for nothing, except for cottrn. Although we had a hard struggle at >. the beginning, the mill 1b now In an entirely satisfactory oondltlon financially. It is.tbarefore useless In our respected con , Hempoinwy to appeal to the prejudice of tblB community against New England. We feel ? verr gralefal to New England, and when '.>> ? Charles ton appeals to our prejudice, we are xnoat forcibly/ifcminded of Charleston's lack of sympathy tar as In the hoar o( our need. Boston has been a better friend to Abbeville than Charleston. New York stands to Abbeville, and we can draw on that city for Indefinite amounts of money, but Charleston refuses to let us have a cent, except from a very limited number of sources, and at ruinous rates of Interest. For this condition of affairs we are sorry. Northern or New England firms are making annually large sums of money by their business relations with the Abbeville Cotton Mills and,other people of the town. Jlt Charleston would show herself friendly to hex neighbors, they would furnish safe and prufltableinvestments for the Idle money of the city. If New York flnds it profitable to deal with Abbeville, why should not Charles ton do the same thing? In former years Charleston furnished money and handled the cotton. Wby should not the business relations be continued, and why should not pleasant and profitable relations be restored by Charleston furnishing capital to run our mills and to handle our cloth. The fact is. that Charleston and other Kouthfern cities have refused so long to aid in the up building of our own industrial interests l>uiuieiu uayutti eeeiug me opportunity and tbe necessity, have come to oar relief, while Charleston stood still, which act seems' to us to be less profitable than crying over spilt milk, and Is still bowling about tbe war which was closed thirty-five years ago. Abbavllle'a Loss. Because of our lack of publlo spirit, and be cause of our failure to grasp the situation, Abbeville will In Mr. Aug. W. Smith, lose a prominent figure In the baalness olrcles of our town, and one of our most publlo spirited citizens will make bis future home elsewhere. Mr. Smith recently returned from the North, where be secured a large amount for tbe oonBtructlon of tbe Cotton Mill at Woodruff. Mr, Smith much preferred to bring that great capital to his native town, but his neighbors beld their own purse string too tight. Northern capital will notoome where local capital is wanting. " "* .

The newest and most oomplete slock of stationery to be found In Abbeville is at phone lie. Mlltord's Drug Store, j I Working for BnslnesN. Dirt was broken yesterday on the Spartanburg Electric railroad. By July 1st It will be oompleted, at least to Clifton, Glendale and Arkwrlght. Tbls means ten thousand more people added to the trading population of Spartanburg.?Spartanburg Herald. In former years we believe the town of Ninety-Six went to the expense of building an expensive bridge across the Saluda river in order to induce trade from beyond its banks. If, therefore. Ninety-Six could build a bridge across a big stream in order to allow the people to have free access to the trade and business of that town, and if Spartanburg can build an eleclrlo railroad to add ten thousand people to the trading population of that city, could not Abbeville and the people bevond Lone Cane unite in a request to make a good crossing of a muddy little stream like Long Cane? The cost to the county would be but a trifle, while the benefit to the people beyond .Long Cane, and the advantage to the business Interests of this town would be great. We are glad to learn that a new road Is to be opened through the lands of Dr. Harrison, and Messrs. Jackson and Smith. This will be of a great advantage, but the contemplated new road across Long Cane would be worth much more. The way to change It is to change it. And no time suits better than the spring time, so the road may be more or less packed before the winter rains set in. The crossing at LoDg Cane has been for many years a menace to the best interests of the people in town and a great inconvenience to the people beyond the stream, and we feel quite sure that our excellent Supervisor will not delay the much needed work. Question. The Greenville Mountaineer thinks it perfectly legitimate for the ProhlbltlonlBtB to organize a separate political party, and run a ticket against tbe candidates of tbe organized Democratic party. We do not see it tbat way, although the Mountaineer may be right. Would It not be Just as legitimate for a portion of the Democratic party to draw off to themselves, and rnn and vote for McKinley against Bryan, as to run a Prohibition ticket against the candidates of theorganlzed Demo* oratic party In either case, would not the nominees against the party nominees be bolters, pore and simple? Inside the Democratic party, It occurs to as, is the place for Democrats to correct evils from which we may suffer, 'if the Prohibitionists cannot remain Inside the party and oontrol It, we do not see how Independent action can win. A Democrat may favor either license, prohibition or dispensary, and not sever his political affiliation, but we do not see how either can legitimately organize a party with a distinct set of campaign or party officers to fight the Democratic organization. We Just don't see it. Eleetrle Lights. The electric lights are beautiful and satisfactory. The street lights are good and will be better when the new engine is plaoed in position. The lncandesoent lights in oar hnmpn anil In otir nlncpR of bualneia are all right. The Associote Reformed Church people contemplate lighting tbe chnrch by tbe new lights, and we learn that other churcbeB may do the same. , Pretty Wedding. As announced last week, MIbs Janle Quarles, who Is not only one of the prettiest, bnt one of the most popular young ladles of'the olty, was married In the Presbyterian church last Wednesday night, April 25,1900. The groom, Mr. R. L. Dargan, Is one of our best young men, and Is one of the moat fortunate men of the day. Their marriage was one of the prettiest that ever occured In Abbeville. Tbe church had been beautifully decorated, and a host of well dressed people filled the church When the happy young people approached tbe altar, Rev. J. liowrle Wilson, D. D., In the nicest manner possible united tbem In tbe holy bonds of matrimony. Many invited guests then went to tbe home of the hrlHn whtah had bfifin made as bfiftUti ful as a scene Id fairy land, and which by flower and leaf, by tbe display of pretty fittings and tbe exhibit of gifts of love and affection, made tbe whole a dream of Ideal happiness. i ' \ Advertising Proposition. Tbe Press and Banner had a very pleasant call yesterday from tbe traveling agent for the sale cf Dr. King's New Dlsoovery, Electric Bitters and BaoklenB Arnica Salve." He was amazed to find a town Id which he oonId not place bis advertisements In the newspapers. Tbe agent was very courteous, and w.e were sorry not to deal fcltb him. We shonld like to bear from some brethren of tbe press who are willing to give the Press and Banner tbe same prices tbat are given to the patent medicine men. ThlB office will place an order for an advertisement In a number of papers, If we are acoorded tbe same prices and conditions tbat are given to patent medicines. We have some money to spend In advertising. tf. TBOSTEES MEETING. rhnnirA In ftiA Rnnril?fnl. Rohprtwon aud Mr. Smith Resign?Messrs. J. C. Ellin and A. B. Horse Fill Their Places ?
