1 The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. O. - ? --- . x WPubllHheU every Wednesday at SJ a year in advance. -I Wednesday, June 27, 1900. PrniNiuK Colonel Hoyt. We have not a word In rebuttal of anything that may be said In praise of Col. Hoyt. We agree that he Is a good man. But we do not understand the extreme anxiety of the saloon or license men to elect a man whom tbey believe would enforoe prohibition. If Governor McSweeney, with an army ol constables, cannot enforce the dispensary to the satisfaction of the license men, how le Col. Hoyt to enforce prohibition wlthbut conRtableR ? And why do license men want prohibition T That is the question. Much of the praise of Col. Hoyt seems to imply that Governor McSween&y Is lacking in the good qualities. Comparisons are odious, and we would Invite no unpleasantness. But It Is fair to speak of Gov. McSweeney'c official oonduct, which has measured up to all ' the requirements as fully as that of any Gov> ernor who has held the office within our recol' lection. He is enforcing all the laws of the State In a most acceptable manner. He hat brought peace to the State. He has discharged a large number of constables, and in doing sc appealed to the law-abiding people to heir andt o cooperate with him in bringing peace and obedience to law In this State. The en forcement of the dispensary law seems tc have displeased some of the license people Governor McSweeney, If measured by hU early struggles, and his subsequent successes 1h the equal of any man In the race, and there Is no reason for maligning him, except be cause of his past success, and his future good prospects. He was a poor orphan boy, with neither money nor education nor Influential friends to boost him. But he had charactei and an Invincible determination, and the peo pie will neither allow an envious spirit to casl him down nor permit the friends of license tc deprive him of the office to which he should be elected, simply because he enforces the 11 quor law. Governor MoKweeney Is a man of the peo pie, and his recollections of the days of hit own poverty make bin! a friend to those Id distress. He has been Governor of the whole people of the State, and to all he has been e Just Governor. He has worn no man's collar , He has obeyed no man's behest. He ha! beard the petition of tbe humblest. He hai yielded respectful attention to the greatest He has been merolful to the convict, when meroy was Just. But to tbe bigamist, with rich and powerful friends pleading his cause, lie refused pardon for destroying a respecta^ ble young woman, by marrying her when he already had a living wife and children. Bow er and influence could not swerve him. And this power and Influence we believe Is now turned against him. Let us hope that thii opposition does not seek to elect another WUU Uilk/ UC DU^UCpilUIC IU lUOir lUllUOUUC For protecting our homes Id punishing those who would destroy them Governor Mo Sweeney deserves the thanks of every good man and every good woman In this State. The Worst Kind of Liquor License. If we are not mistaken, Colonel Hoyt hai been quoted as being once In favor of " blgt license " as against "low license." This editor claims the right to have ar opinion on " high license." . As far as our in formation goes, we are led to believe that bar keepers in every town are In favor of "hlgt license," and ir Colonel Hoyt is really li favor of "high license" under any clrcum stances, be would please the saloon men. "High license," If high enough, makes thi - sale of liquor a monopoly in favor of the mor< wealthy class. They would be able to buj tbe license, while a poor manjustas good anc joftUut honorable, would be compelled to gc out Of business.' Und?r the old plan of license we presume tbere w^s.not a town In which there waf not a saloon man who would have been glad to pay t*? entire license for the ex elusive privilege of wiling liquor, " High license "^^ld give to tbe rich mai a monopoly, and, when competition was cui off, he might charge a high price, or. If he fel disposed, he could adulterate his liquor. Of all the forms of selling liquor the " hlgl license" would be most acceptable to thi /lch saloon men and moBt objectionable U y*be men who may be 60llcltions for thi J* sobriety and welfare of the people. Ik If Colonel Hoytever once expressed' Wm self in fovor of " hlghjlicense " under any clr f oumntances, we know he did so without glv lng the matter proper thought We could never believe that he for an Instant would align himself with the worst possible form o license. 1 ' War In China. The missionaries and other foreigners 1e China are about to bring the world Into war . The "Friars" in tbe Philippine Islands seem successful in bringing trouble both to tbe Inhabitants and to the constituted authorltlet of that part of this countrv Foreigners Id China who make themselvef obnoxious might Just as well get their ticketi of leave. Coming home might be better than waging war to protect the enforced presence of foreigners who are not wanted in China. The United States forbids tbe Importation of Chinese citizens Into this country. Thee let China make it unlawful for Americans tt put foot on Chinese soli. If each nation would shinny on its own side there 1b no reason why the world should go tc war with a nation that Is being intruded upon by unwelcome guests. IfthUwere done tbe Chinese would have less grounds for charging us with hypooricy Thej may not understand how the soul of s Chinaman may be good enough to go tc heaven, direct from China, by our route, while his living body and Imperishable soul are untlt to enter tbe domains of this country and who are unworthy of the protection ol our flag. We think it better that Chios should expel by law all foreigners from theli land, even as we expel Chinamen irom thli country, tban to go to war. But, if there li to be war we want America to be there. W< want our share of the spoils, If tbe empire ii to be divided. To secure a just and equitable lHvialnn H nnnnfrt' * * -fc-' ? xuiowuukij ouuuiu Heuu uer r?uipi and her soldiers to convenient places, to b< ready for the fray. As it la a slow buslnesi conquering Indians, It might be well to spare some troops and some shlpB trom the Philip plnesand when the Chinese war is ended, wt can attend to the rebellious Klllpplnos at otu leisure. Won the Prize. A Tew weeks ago the Abbeville Hardware Company offered a reward of Five Dollars to the boy or girl "who would send them a list naming the greatest number of articles which they carried In stock." The following letter ' tells ua the lucky winner: , Abbeville. 8. C., June 21, 1900. Master James Templeton, City: Dear Sir?Enclosed we hand yon five dollan for the best list of hardware as per our advertisement In local papers. We congratulate you, upon your success In this matter, due to your energy and perseverance, and trust that a continuance of these qualifications may lead you to greater success In life. Yours truly, Abbeville Hardware Co. By W. H. Jones, Manager. Buy your Ice tickets from J. L. Berrln. j V - lXon. W. XX. Pftrker Tor the I<eKinln> tore. From various quarters we have heard the desire expressed that Hon. W. H. Parker consent to become a oandidate for the Legislature. Mr. Parker's ability Is so well known that nothing need be said on this line, and . Jils caje$t 80s bank president is known or all il'he farmers called him to the preslj jjeacy Of their bank, and he has made It a c Wonderful success lu helping them to money in the times of their need, and he has made It profitable to stockholders and alike satisfactory to all. His intercourse with the patrons of the bank has beeu so pleasant and satisfactory to all, that nobody is more popular or held in higher esteem than Mr. Parker. Hit past experience in the Legislature, to- ( gether with the desire that has beeu express- I ed to have bim run for the Legislature, would indicate that the people want him to represent them. If assured of the desire on the part of the people, he would no doubt consent to make the race. He would reflect honor on I the county that would honor him. ' ? The War on Gov. McSweeney. The Governor on this corapalgn has been a little patient with gubernatorial candidates i who have been making charges and lnslnua' Hons against him. Last Saturday he thought ) forbearance baa ceasea to oe a vinue, ?uu ue Id tbe most emphatic manner denounced "an a liar," any man who made charges that tbe i Governor h&d been drinking blind tiger 11t quor In Treoger's place of business on Sunday night. J We regard the assailing of competitors as ) not up to tbe highest standards, and we are < I glad that the Governor has been a little slow ' I to anger, but we are still more pleased that he > has denounced any man who made the ' > charges whloh Patterson was reiterating ev> eryday. Governor MoSweeney has made, as far as > we have seen, an honorable campaign and . has not in a single instance stooped to any i dirty practices In making either insinuations , or direct oharges against anybody. He has I run on his merit, and tbe good way in which he has been received by the people may t have been a little exasplrating to Bome of bis i competitors, but tbey should not forget the I proprieties, and the people abonld not forget r those candidates who give evidence of ill breeding. , i, I The Difference. The Atlanta Journal, without reference to the political blaa of either the editor or lte en' vironment, gave a full and fair account'of the ' Philadelphia Convention, expressed in dlgnl1 fled Journalistic spirit. ' On the other band, the News and Courier 1 headed its acoount of the same, In these words : ' The Brass Band Ticket?McKlnley and I ? Roosevelt the Imperialist CandidatesConsummation or the Work which the Republican National Convention was 1 Called to do, viz; Tbe Glorification of i the Plutocratic and Imperialistic Policy of tbe Present Republican Amlnlstra' tlon ? William McKlnley, the FigureHead for Hanna, tbe Agent for tbe i Trusts, and Governor Roosevelt, of New York, a Picturesque Figure in the War ( for tbe Acquisition of Cuba, Under the False Pretence of Giving tbe Cubans their Independence, are Chosen as tbe i Fit Representatives of the Party?It Is Hoped, by Money and tbe Spectacular Campaign which Money will Enable it to Make, Either to Delude or Override > the People whoareStruegllng for Constl- tutlonal Rights and a Reduction of tbe Burdens of too Much Government. 1 The reference in tbe News and Courier's hnoHlncy ie\ tha RannhHnon Pnnvflntlnn. it. seems to us, could hardly have been more erroneous or farther from a fair Interpretation of the facta. ? > f Free Cnba. 1 Cuba will be free In exactly the same way that South Carolina Is free. It will be gov* erned exactly as any other Stateof the Union 1 Is governed, that Is to say: By ber own peo- < 1 pie, and they will send delegates to the Con gress of the United States at "Washington Just as delegates are sent from other States of the a Union. It will be to Cuba's Interest to be one ' of us. It Is said that In 1848 the Democratic ' government of the United States offered 3100,' 000,000 for tbe Island. In 1854, tbe bid wat5 raised to 5120,000,000. Does anybody suppose this country will not bold on to it in this day s and generation, when we have it within 1 reach ? i i ^ Railroad Accident. 1 Yesterday between Abbeville and ElbertoD 1 there was a bead-end collision between a 1 passenger train and a work train on the Sea Board Air Line. Some damage was done to 1 some ot tbe ooacbes, and one of tbe engines - was considerably injured. Tbe engineer, Mr. 3 Ne^l waa hurt, bnt It Is not thought that be is 9 seriously Injured. He was brought back to < his boarding bouse In Abbeville. < As lar as we could learn there is no truth in ( * tbe report of tbe killing of two men on tbe i * same road near Chester yesterday. , f We dislike to get into a con trovers;- with otber papers, because we do not believe tbe readers of The Herald enjoy them.?Spartan- i burgHerald. Tbe Herald In this utterance is eminently | correct. Judging others by ourself, we would j i say tbat sucb articles are not generally read, . and If read are unprofitable.
