. V . v r The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. .^Published every Wednesday at S2 f year in advance. Wednesday, June 20, 1900. I MiVMlist hit: avr'ii uiuik Comments on the Confederate Re-union al Louisville, Ky.. are nearly all in. As a rule the reports are of the rnout pleasant, thougb tbere may be a very small discordant not* now and then. Hon. W. H. Parker, a veteran of the West era Army, seems to be tbe most delighted . delegate with whom we have talked. From start to finish everything went well with him ? Mr. Parker was not only one of the best offl ^ cere in tbe 19tb S. C., Keg't., but he was one o V tbe kindest officers to tbe private soldiers r One old soldier loves to tell bow Mr. Parkei saved bis life. Id one [of tbe long marchei In Keatucky, Mr. Parker gave his hors< to the sick and exhausted soldier, anc that old soldipr holds blm In grateful remem brance to this day, believing that-Mr. Parkei saved his life. Miss Lucia Parker, his daughter, went t< Louisville with him. She went as Sponsoi for the South Carolina division, and nobodj wbb received with greater consideration that Miss Parker. On Saturday night of the Re union a large party was given especially li her honor. The Courier-Journal made specla mention of her presence in tbe city and pub llshed a handsome ploture of her. Socially she was queen of the occasion, reflectinj honor on the state which she represented. Mr. \V. AV Templeton was, pehaps, tb< youngest soldier who served In the army a long as he did. Official mention was iwlc made in tbe field reports from the army ti Richmond as to his gallantry. In one of th battles he was wounded.. His commani reached Cblckamauga to lake part In the bat tie. Ho la an enthusiast on Confederate wa hlstor.', and two years ago made more effort to get a correct reoord printed of his company than the combined efforts of all other sold len He was one of Abbeville's delegates toLonls< vllle, and was delighted with the whole Ke onion. Dr. J. Lowrle W ;lson tabes greater dellgh In war history than any survivor of the blood lest struggle on record In the annals of wai Born In India ol missionary parents he lm blbed, or Inherited, all tbelr self saoriflce am fidelity to the cause of our Saviour. Whei the war broke out he was not only a soldier c the Cross, but he became a soldier of hii couiitry, and undertook cheerfully all tb perils of the camp and all the dangers of tb field. In that struggle he lost a foot, but in al the succeeding years his valor is unconquer able. While the best of bis services and tb most zealous of bis devotions is given at th< Throne of Grace, he adorns the life of a Chrii tian soldier and a Christian gentleman. N man at Louisville had a better time. Gen. R. R. Hemphill was among the distln gulshtid guests at Louisville. In the war h Berved In the 7tb S. C. V., and in Orr's RltiTes He was orderly for Gen. M. L. Bonham at th battle of First Manassas. He was afterward sergeant major of Orr's Rifles. He, like Mi Templeion, was one of the youngest men li the army, and although his official duties re quired his presence in the most dangerou places during the many battles In which hi took part, Providence seemed to protect hln from " the arrow that flyeth by day,andshlel< him from the pestilence that walketh in dark Detis." He weighed only 02 lbs., while in th military service, but he did tbe duty ofth largest man In the army. The General is i fine writer, and knows more of the history o tbe war than any man living. His retentlv memory enables him to fix dates, places an< , actors in all tbe great struggles in which h * A VnWhflrn Vlrartnlo frtnlr noH auu bUU AtUIJ Ul Wi KUUtu ? iigiuin IVW? ? He Uable to correct a greater number of er rore by Confederate historians than any pub llo speaker or writer of tbe present day When tbe State of South Carolina sbal seek to employ another historian, no mat would claim to All the place more ably o more acceptably than would Gen. R. R Hemphill. <>t> his return be stopped a CUattaiioOKa, mid went to Snndgrnss llill an< other historic spots in Chickatuauga Park which was dedicated to " American Valor. Capt. James Pratt, of this county, wa another of the honored delegates who wen from Abbvllle. He is about 78 years of age am In good health. As a captain in the army h< was distinguished for courage and fidelity t every duty. Asacitizeihe stands well an< lives happily at his home, some four mile ' from town. Dr. O. P. Hawthorn, of Due West, was on of the patriots who, In his yonng manhooc left his oomfortable home at the outbreak o the war and went to Virginia to Rhnr? t.h dangers and hardships of the strife. He wa an honored graduate of Erskine and is one o the few remaining members of his famtt; name. Fifty years ago there were many goo men In that seotlon bearing the name ot Han tborne, but they are nearly all gone now The Doctor in war was a good soldier. Ii peace he is a good citizen. *V' Mr. M. H. Wilson went as a delegate fro : the Abbeville organization of Veterans, am no organization sent a more faithful delegate He loves his country and in hla youth be tool up arms for the cause be thought waa right Although the Confederates were v&nqnlfibec he Is still proud of the part he took in tb war. As a citizen be discharges every duty As a farmer he prospers and grows rlche with the passing years. The Seaboard Air Line. i yow. that Editor A. B. Williams is so nea to his kinsman, President John Skelton Wll llama, of the Seaboard Air Line, he may b< able to do more for South Carolina white ii Richmoad than he could do while he was a home. Naturally Mr. Williams will be friendly K tbe State in which he has lived so long, and having the ear of the President of the Sea board Air Line, good results may come thi people because of Kdltor Williams's residenc in Richmond. We are inclined to believe that Presiden Williams of the Seaboard Air Line Is no only a good business man, but that he will b a popular President. And popularity In an; great enterprise is of immense advantage President Williams being thoroughly polit himself, we shall expect to see his subord! natea observe at leant something of hisowi courteous demeanor. When President Williams gets thing straightened out a little, we have no doub that the citizen may write to any of the offi clals, without fear of discourtesy. Whether there is reason for more pieasan relations or not, we shall look forward wltl the hope for a good time coining. ? + ?

L ' 7 ; T Xonc Arc mo ltlind as Those Who Will Xot See. The following is an extract from the Charleston Post: $ Fkiend ok Exposition. ? Mr. Frank B., . Gary, who is one of the candidates for the gubernatorial chair, said this morning that tie considered his chances for election good. From information he had received from va rious sections of the State lie was gaining gronud every day. i Mr. Gary said lie was a strong friend of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Kxposition. The people of his county, Abbe> ville, favored the exposition. He declared that the light belun made by Editor Wilson of the Press aud Manner against the project did not amount to a hill of beans In Abbeville county, and the more he fought the exposl Hnn tho mom cood it would do the cause. Mr. Gary said be expected to get a handsome vote in Charleston. We stated distinctly some two weeks ago that we objected to the methods which had been adopted by the daily newspapers to squelch the Bamberg Herald In its opposition to a State appropriation for the proposed Charleston Exposition, but said nothing as to our own opinion of the propriety of making the appropriation. At that time we bad not formed an opinion . as to whether or not It was the duty of the State to contribute .money from the public treasury for the benefit of Charleston. Notwithstanding the fact, which was distinctly stated, that we objected to the methods which had been practiced on the Bamberg Herald, we have been placed in the column as being In direct opposition to the appropriation for the Charleston Exposition. This newspaper shall not beg to be allowed to remain on neutral grounds, but shall hereafter stand squarely against the misappropriation of the people's money for an object whose promoters are so sensitive that they can stand neither discussion nor I'Anflot onnAulllnn. UVUVOV We are sorry that we should ,'ave been placed Id a position which we did not assume. We are sorry that division should occur at a time when good feeling should prevail. But having been placed in a position from whence it may have been thought we would retreat or go on the defensive, we shall stand g our ground and make an aggressive fight 3 against any misappropriation of the people's money for the use of Charleston. j The ill-humor and Intolerance that has been exhibited convinces us that the advo r cates of the appropriation of public funds for g private use are doubtful of the Justice of their claim. [ As to whether or not this newspaper, or its ' opinion, amounts to "a hill of beans," does not matter., If Mr.'Gary can advance h!s cause In Chart leston by assailing us that is a matter of his ^ own concern, and is an act about which we r are not exercised. Foolish to Answer Advertising Agent*. ,f "PkacticaIj Advertising,"?a valuable , publication coming from Atlanta, says a e prominent agency of that city sent to 150 coune ty newspapers for their advertising rates. I After two weeks 21 answered, one cf whom quoted space at SI an Inch, and then "Practle cal Advertising" proceeds to belittle the man e who was a "business man." Now, there are two sides to this advertising 0 agency business, and we venture to suggest that the 129 who did not answer were wiser than the 21 who did answer. Those who did e answer are posBibly out their stationery and 1 postage, while the 129 lost nothing. e* This office would not consider for a second s the answering of an advertising agent's letter if the postage was omitted. When the post3 age is sent It Is possible that we might answer' K Unless a county newspaper proposes to work 8 for little or nothing he need not fool away his 0 time with advertising agents. We venture to 3 suggest that there is not a country newspaper j in this state which charges for patent medicine ads anything like the price he would : ask home advertisers for the same space. Fat g ent medicine ads, as a rale, get preferred space, B or among reading matter. i} But, as a matter of fact, it seems thata great e number of newspapers "dote" on medical adB. i We have had for afmonth a standing proposie Hon to plaee-notices In a number of papers at , the prices 19; which they Insert medical adsbut not a man has accepted our offer. Abbeville Man to the Front. 1 Dr. S. A. Vlsanska, formerly ol this city, 1 but nov 0/ Atlanta, has been Instrumental In r opening a free clinlo for the poor children of Atlanta. Be has made arrangements with 1 the druggists for filling such prescriptions at 1 greatly reduced prices. Id helping the poor ;; of his city Dr. Vlsanska is a public benefactor. He gives six hours a week?two hourB * three days?to the examination of such poor ' children as may be ?rought to him at the Woman's Co-operative Home. This splendid ' nhai-lm h? an or/wl a dnnl/ir will hp a hnnn tr> 0 many a poor child, who might die without medical attention. Free medical attention, * and cheap prescriptions at the drug stores is something of 'which any people might be 0 proud. 1. f' We congratulate Dr. VlBanska not only on e his medical skill, but on his good heart which B prompts him to undertake so great a labor without hope of fee or reward. y .?? d r. Tbe Charleston Exposition. \ This newspaper is not excited over the matq ter one way or the other. but ^e hope to offer candidates for Legislative honors an oppor1 tunlty to express themselves through these d columns. ). The friends of the Exposition having rained t the question, and having, as we think, exhl? blted an unusual degree of Intolerance, it I mloht ha mall frtr nnp T^ffl&tatira fn nlanfl e themselves on record. The constitution Itself provides for appror prlatlons "for the ordinary and current business of tbi State," but we fall to And In that Instrument any authority for appropriating money to Charleston Expositions. _ . _ ,v\ v? m T I- * Holding His Own. 0 We have no Idea that the Oconee News 1 would knowingly do Governor McSweeney t an Injustice, or circulate a report against him, unless he thought It was true. But J we are glad that the charges which were made by that paper are falling flat, and that l* the Governor is holding his own in the pub8 He estimation. 6 The people are getting tired of mud-sllngt lDg" The CArnlval. e Let no man mix up the Abbeville Carnival j with the Great Inter-State,Philippine Islands g and South American Exposition. The Exposltlon will not take place before next Sum3 mer, while the Carnival takes place July 17, 18, and 19 of this year. 8 The Carnival will be a most interesting oo, caslon, and many people are expected to be with us then. ' 1 The Charleston Exposition. b V Let no man misunderstand this newspaper* We are not opposed to the Exposition. But we are dead against the bulldozing methodi to which Its friends have reported In them treatment of the Bamberg Herald, and wti o think Charleston should not ask the people I. to pay the expense of her show. s The appropriation of public money lor e doubtful purposes, It seems to as, is always? e proper subjeot for discussion. V" i Io - ft W*r Prospects. It now seems as If Cnlna is about to get the world down on ber. A world war seems Imminent. Armies and battleships are going there from various quarf^ers. United States troops and battle ships i. are going from Manila. 1- m | m t " Buy your ice tickets from J. L. 1'errin. ?

Washington Evening Star. The Associate Reformed Presbyteriansorthe South and the United Presbyterians of the North and West have been cultivating fraternal relations for several years with a view to the coalition ot their church bodies. Of the fraternal delegate and his mission to the general assembly of the United Presbyterians Church, wnlch met recently In Chicago, The United Presbyterian, Pittsburg, Pa., says: I " Rev. Oliver Johnson, of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, In a fitting speech conveyed the fraternal greeting of bis denomination and made a happy Impression ' M>oouoflrwKlw M?? TAhnuAn Id ? foppihlP speaker, and, like all who have come to us Id recent years, he showed his sympathy for the movement for organic union of these Psalmsinging churches. Personally be was ready for the union, but some could not yet see their way clear. A majority of the Southern church was lrv favor of It, but they wished time that all might beof one mind. Some of their people had formed the acquaintance of men from the north under lees favorable circumstances many yeas ago, and have not forgotten their experiences of that day. He felt that our churches are one. He referred to the oneness tn principle and practice of the two bodies. There is a current of love in our hearts although thore might be a different rippling on the surface. We enjoyed the rlppllngs he gave us. His words will not convey a lull idea of his address, for the voice must be beard in order to determine the delicacy of the spirit. The inspiring hopeful words with which he closed his address thrilled the entire Assembly. At no time did Moderator Sankey appear to a better advantage than when he responded to Mr. Johnson."

To bis Honor the presiding Judge: The Grand Jury beg leave herewith to sabmll their final report for this term : We passed upon all matters submitted to as. We have examined the public buildings and And them In good condition. We recommend that the well at the Jail be put Id better shape?its condition Is bad. We find the Poor House to be In good condition, the lumates properlj cared for, and the farm admirably managed, we commena me administration of the present overseer. As far as we have been able to learn the roads of the county are In good condition. To this, however, there la one exception. That portion of the road from Uonea Path to the line of Greenwood county has been represented as being In bad condition. The mttt ter wns referred to the Supervisor, who has given assurance that this particular road shall have bis prompt attention. William Nance, a colored man, who had been on the county chain gang for one month came before our body and exhibited certain marks and sores upon bis legs, which be claimed resulted from the shackles being too tight. After Investigation, we are convinced no cruelty was intended, bat as a matter of precaution, we suggest that in future care be taken on the partfof the overseers in charge, to see that the wearing of shackles by convicts be attended with as little pain as poealbie. An application was made to us to lease tbe Court room, to be used for theatrical performances; but alter due consideration, it was f hnntrhf. to be unwise to change the action Of tbe Grand Jnry of 1899 with reference to tfcjf matter, and we, therefore, recommend that the keeping of the Coart room and furnltarf, ' be left in tbe hands of tbe Supervisor an?:'^-~f? t Clerk, where tbe law has plaoed tbem. In view of tbe fiact that tbe annual ments of the County officers have not yej$&. . f been made, tbe Grand Jury have made no ex?-' amloatlons of said offices at this term, defeat ring said examination till tbe October term.'
