The I'tinrleston Exposition.
The Bamberg Herald, it seems, is about to
stir up a hornet's nest about its ears because
it docs not favor a legislative appropriation
lor the benefit of the Charleston Exposition.
That paper may be laughed out of court, and
if the Democratio State Convention should
assemble again, It is possible to see a motion
made to add to the oath of the Democratic
voter a provision that he "shall support a
state appropriation for the Charleston Exposition."
Of course a man who would oppose
such an appropriation is unworthy of Democratic
confidence, and should first receive the
contempt and condemnation of all good citizens,
and then he should be expelled from
the ranks of real, true blue, Jefiersonian Popullstlc
Democrats.
.Speaking lor the Press and Banner, we
think the appropriation of State funds for
any purpose is always a proper aud legitimate
subject for consideration, and we think
that nobody Lasa right to put the snuffers on
even as small a voice as that of the Bamberg
M
uvmiui
The Htateand the Manning Times seem to
think that the Bamberg Herald will not be
endorsed. Whether that paper is endorsed or
not signifies nothing. The proper thing for
an honest editor to do is to utter his own
opinions, with proper respect for the prejudices,
beliefs, or convictions of others.
But as long as Charleston openly and boldly
defies one of the most important laws of the
State, and voluntarily cuts off her own revenue
in the liquor traffic she seeks legislative
aid in the face of unfavorable circumstances.
Why should the country districts contribute
to Charleston's wealth as long as she
throws away her own revenue on liquor?
The Bamberg Herald may be ever so humble
a citizen, and he may represent nobody
but himself, but it Is right ana manly for him
to speak his own mind even in the face of an
overwhelming majority.
Pronouncing: Judgment.
Uur respected friend Mr. M. L. B. Sturkey,
in his letter last week, among other things,
said:
"There is a cemetery in an adjoining county
that ban Ave new made graves, rive representative
citizen*, live husbands, Ave fathers
have been buried tliere during the past year,
unci I am reliably informed that they were all
victims of King Alcohol. Just how many
team and heartaches these silent mounds call
up, no human mathematics can begin to
compute, and to turn away from this scene
and vote for measures that would contlDuea
traffic that dug these graves and sent these
souls unshrined to the judgment, would be no
less than the spirit of a savage."
Mr. Sturkey speaks of "souls unshrined
sent to judgment," and "the spirit of a savage."
These expressions are so Christlike,
and so much in accord with his speech while
on earth, that we are reminded oi the remarks
of our Saviour to the thief who was
crucified with him.
The Christian spirit Id reference to the unshrined
souls sent to judgment being admitted,
we refer only to Mr. Sturkey's speech
about five "new-made graves." It has been
said that "figures prove anything,"' and that
"figures prove nothing."
This editor has been a temperance worker
and abstainer dating back from a period before
Mr. Sturkey was born, and we know as
well as be does the evils of drinking. r or
this reason, we protest against a system of
argument which, if accepted, Is only misleading.
If liquor sent these "Ave Bonis unshrlned
to Judgment," then It Is perfectly legitimate
to say that abstinence sent a thousand
victims to their graves.
The simple comparative statement of the
umber of graves, as between drunkards and
abstainers, proves nothing; or, If it proves
anything, it proves that abstinence is about
a hundred times more fatal than drunkenness.
We would not embarrauB Mr. Sturkey by
HKkinu him to uume either of the occupants
ol the five graves whose souls are unshrlned,
' or where the grave yard Is located. It might
L be in Greenwood county, which is a prohlblB
Hon county, and which has' nothing better
W than blind tiger liquor. If so, there would be
" mitigating circumstances.
Seeing the Kclinne.
Nearly everybody in Abbeville manifested
Interest In seeing the eclipse last Monday
morning. All the broken glass In town was
smoked to a greater or less degree. Some ol
it being smoked on both sides so thoroughly
t hat an x-ray would scarcely throw any llgbt
through it.
Some young gentlemen from Due West
passed through Abbeville in the early hours
of the uawn on their way to Troy, without
slopping to enquire what might be seen at
Abbeville. They didn't know that we had
made special arrangements for the exhibition
at Abbeville, and they learned only on their
return that Abbeville had a good view of the
total eclipse.
But the totality of the eclipse was of so
short a duration that the average citizen
could hardly take In the surroundings. The
signt is one never 10 be forgotten.
Some of us were bo much interested that Id
one short minute, we had not time to look for
stars and to see whether the ohlokens had
gone to roost. In the midst of It some one
asked the time, aud It was barely light
enough to read the figures on the face of the
watch.
TaKluir Hides.
We will have four candldatlons for Governor
this year. Messrs. M. B. McSweeney, F.
B. Gary and A. H. Patterson are understood
to favor the dispensary. Col. Hoyt runs as a
prohibitionist, and will poll the prohibition
vote, and the vote of those who favor license,
but oppose the illspennary. It is possible that
an effort will be made to draw some of the
churches Into this political squabble. In this
county there Is no doubt as to public* sentiment
on the subject of the dispensary.
Death of H. ('. Pattou.
H. C'owper Patton, eon of Dr. E. Patton,'
once of ErBklne College, and later of the
South Carolina College, died last week. He
had been ailing with the enlargement of a
blood vessel and went to a Northern city lor a
surgical operation, where he died. In the
higher walks of life, he was one of the foremost
young men of the State, and Abbeville
mourns with his beloved parents, as for one
of her own.
Special Edition.
The Laurens County News sendB out a well
gotten up edition last week of thirty pages.
Interesting facts about the city, and pictures
of many citizens of the town appear. As a
wbole the Special Edition speaks well for the
publio spirit and enterprise of the Messrs.
Parrott.

Prohibition <
The Prohibition Convention, last week
nominated Cot. James A. Hoyt of Greenville
for Governor, and Mr. J. L. Trlbble of Anderson
for Lieutenant Governor.
A majority of the counties were represented
in the Convention, including this county,
which was represented by Mr. M. L. B. sturkey
of McCormlck.
It is rumored that Mr. Tribble will not run
for Lieutenant Governor.
The Convention adopted a platform, and
Col. Hoyt read an address, which makes
something like two columns In a newspaper.
It is is a little reckies In its charges against
the dispensary law, or more properly speaking,
of the manner of its enforcement, but it
is lees offensive than the average prohibition
publication. It Is also distinguished for less
conspicuous posing as being better thau other
people. In comparison with other prohibition
publications, Col. Hoyi's address is better
than anything that we have seen from
that side, aud from a comparative standpoint.
- - ?*? " ? '?>
11 IB UeiMjr IUHU ? O UUU rA|igv,nu,
Col. Hoyt's ability and long experience In
dealing with the public makes him as acceptable
a candidate for Governor as the Prohibitionists
could have secured, and we have
no doubt that he will conduct his part of the
campaign on a high plane, and that be will
appeal more to the reason of his opponents
than to the glorification of those of his own
way ofthinking.
With Gov. M. B. McSweeney, Mr. A. H.
Patterson' Hon. F. B. Gary, and Col. J. A
Hoyt In the field for Governor we shall expect
a campaign thnt shall be free from the
personalities that have characterized some
campaigns in the past. And we would urge
upon our people the necessity and the propriety
of their showing their appreciation of
genteel conduct, and we further trust tbat
the candidates may yield proper regard, and
demand respectful treatment from their
competitors.

Tradition has it that to Senator Jo Black, of
Abbeville county, were the people of tblB
State indebted for what was once known, or
spoken oi, aR "the cow law." Now, it seems,
that his kinsman, J. A. Black, will be the
means of this State recovering perhaps a million
dollars from the United States government.
His statement of the various indebtednesses
of the United States government, as
made out by blm in 1860 waB discovered last
week in the "rubbish room," and immediately
forwarded to Senator Tillman, who is vigorously
working op the claims and urging a
settlement of the same.
It seems that Senator Tillman is winning
laurels. Charleston now does him exceeding
great honor, In reference to the naval station,
and If he wins the claims of South Carolina
against the United States, he will be a victor
indeed.

GRATIFYING REPORT.
The Principal of Wllliugton iligb
School Makes a Good StionlDg.
Willlngton, S. C., May 24.1900.
Board of Trustees, Willlngton High School:
Gentlemen?As Principal of your school, I
submit the following report:
Our school opened on Sept. 6,1899, and continued
for nine (9) months, closing on May 24,
1900, with a school picnic.
It is a source of gratification that 1 am able
to make this report as favorable as it is.
Daring the session, we have enrolled 66 pupils;
83 in the Academic Department and 28
in the Primary Department. In regard to the
assistant, I am glad to pay that during the
two years we have taught together, I liave
bad a faithful, earnest, and fully competent
one to co-operate with me in building a
school but without your help, and also the
patrons, we, of course, would not have been
so successful in our efforts. I feel that my asslstant
has done ber*whole duty and has ao
UUUI^IIDUCU kUftb WUIVU UUJJ icuucu, uur
tured, and very intelligent lady oould, and I
think you made a wise selection in employing
Miss Jennie Cowan for the place.
In regard to school books, I recognize the
fact that they sell at extortionate prices,
hence I arranged the classes so that it would
be necessary for a family to buy only one
book of a ktnd. Of course It Inconvenienced
tne somewhat, but I felt it my duty to cause
the parents as little cost an possible.
By buying second banded books and ordering
them In a bulk, I was enabiey toget them
much cheaper than it would have cost each
child separately. The average cost per child
during this session for bookB was only 65
cents.
I have now in my department only three
classes,a result of two (2) years work with the
object of ccyisolldttting classes, thereby having
more time to give to each class. During
the year I had six recitations dally from each
with twenty minutes to devote to eaoh. Our
school hours during the year was 6>/? hours
datiy.
The advance class |pfully competent to enter
the Freshman clufssr.u college.
It gives me pleasure to note the support the
patrons have given the school, and may they
continue to encourage a 11 good works, and ed
ucatlon especially.
Also It 1a tit that I should suy a few things
In regard to tbe.pupils. As a whole I have
never had more respect sbbwn me anywhere
than In Willlngton, by a school. They have
conducted themselves In a most gentlemanly
and ladylike way during myi two years teaching
here, which is a source if pleasure to me
and speaks volumes for tbeiivparents.
During the past year we observed two (2)
holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In my teaching I felt that-there is more
than mind In a child to eduoate and develope,
hence I have given striit attention to
the moral training and surroundings, not allowing
swearing, profanity, -tobacco, and
whiskey on the grounds.
I have done my duty as I saw it, and if offence
has been given I trust all will remember
that man Is only a human being.
Respectfully submitted.
