VW". 1 ' ' ' "*" - T " -rr> The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^Published every Wednesday at S--' a year in advance. - g Wednesday, July 4,1900. Wiiere Does Colonel Hoj t Slitud ? The fact that The Mountaineer very recently Invited all opponents of the dispensary to unite in breaking down that institution ; the endorsement of Colonel Hoyt's candidacy by The State on the ground that he was not a fanatical prohibitionist and that people of The State's way of thinking on the liquor question, would be better pleased with him than with McSweeney, together with the utterance of Colonel Hoyt's paper on high license, left no doubt on our inlnd aB to Col. Hoyt's position, but now the fact that Mr. Keys attemptB to explain away Colonel Hoyt's responsibility for the "high license" editorial raises other questions. 1. If Col. Hoyt was not in favor of high license, and did not endorse the "high license" editorial, why did he not make the explanation at the time? He allowed that Impression togo'abroad uncorrected for fourteen years, (until he became a candidate.) 2. If Col. Hoyt 16 a prohibitionist, pure and simple, why did The Mountaineer, of which he was sole editor, propose to unite with all persona who are opposed to the dispensary ? 3. If Colonel Hoyt 1b an unqualified prohibitionist why has he not corrected The State's editorial In which It was stated that he was not a "fanatical" prohibitionist, but would please the license people belter than Uov. McSweeney ? 4. Why does he not state his position, so that there may be no misapprehension as to his principles? 5. Where does Col. Hoyt stand, anyhow? Has he made any declaration of principles? If a Prohibition Legislature is not elected, does he Intend to enforce the dispensary law, or does he expect then, as now, to coquet with the saloon men ? To which of the opposing faetlons does he proprose to align himself after the election? Will he kindly ext plain to the public the reason wlllch impels the saloon men to espouse his cauBe? The saloon meu are not natural born fools. If he has made no promise or held out no hope to the saloon men lor favors from him, If elected Governor, why are the well known bitterest opponents of prohibition supporting him? Col. Hoyt ought to explain this ixiuob CAuaui uiuai j jjiuiccumg. Col. Hoyt In his address bad much to say about the wickedness of the dispensary. Did he tell anybody liow he stood as to prohibition, 11 elected, and If we cannot have pro/ hlbltlon, whether he would enforce the rfls. pensary or continue to cater for the good graces of the license men. / This campaign has been called a clrc/us. In all circuses there are horse back riders. In some ol the circuses men ride two horses . going the Bame way, but we have fcever Been a man try to ride two horses tb(^? were runnlng In opposite directions. Ttie temperance ) horse running with the liydor horse is sorne> thing unheard of befos^faud If the man who \ attempts to ride th#So two horses doesn't get ( a fall he will ceiU^inly be an expert rider. V If-Col. Hoyt was not responsible for the j editorial 1?. the Baptist Courier, and If he hud ( nothing to do with extending the invitation I to all opponents of the dispensary to join tojgether In a grand effort to put new men in \offlce, and If be Is a slmon pure prohibition' list from principle, then be should bave corrected tbe utterance by Tbe State, wblcb claimed blm as tbe 6aloon candidate, or Words to tbat effect. Ue should bave said something like this In reply to Tbe State : y'Doa't be mistaken ; I am a prohibitionist frbm principle, and will never align myself , with the saloon element of Tbe Slate. If the Legislature does not enact a prohibitory law, I spall enforce tbe dispensary iaw more vigorously than It has ever been done befoie. I ami a prohibitionist from principle and will da nothing to lessen the present restrictions pieced on the sale of liquor." iff Col. Hoyl bad made a speech like that be Would have cominauded public confidence in smell a decree that Iuk prohibition principles would not have been doubled by uuybody. If Col. Hoyt runs wltu the liquor men and Uie prohibitionists at the same time, and gains the coveted prize, be will be a moat retaarkable man. , / I "Others Papers, Please Copy." 1 Senator Tillman recently published a notlcg Jn the dally papers in reference to.a favor which be was prepared to grant, and reqaest. ed county newspapers to copy. Since then a notice has appeared In tbe 'same newspapers In reference to a Confederate re-unlon, with a like appendix, or request to country newspapers. Tbe Confederate, we presume, was simply fol lowing Tillman's example. i1 Dally newspapers lb Instances, are bo careful to carry out this rule, that tbey do not .\r * . " '* ,v tn mihllflh ftncthinor frnm ?Ka ?%?Aoe vy? "*v 1".? until after It has been copied by their local rereporters, and sent to them In time for next week. ' While requests to copy from the dally newspapers may be perfectly acceptable to tbose of oar brethren who make It a rule to copy as much as possible irora the dally press making thelrown publications a mere reprlnV yet aniess the request to copy free advertising is Bent directly to this ofllce, we shall not copy It. Not so long ago a program or handbill wag sent to this office, with "Please publish" writtea on It, but to which no name was signeil. The sender committed a fraud on the United States by sending it through the mails as printed matter, for one cent, when the correct amount of postage was two cents. The pror, gram was of a Sunday School gathering ostensibly In the servloe or the Lord, where the government had been defrauded, and where the sender expected to And a foolish printer who would spend a dollar in setting up his handbill. The right way to determine who should pay for publishing anything is to And out who te more interested. If the sender of an advertlsment is more interested In publishing It, then It Is his business to pay the expense. If the editor Is more interested, then in that Instance, the editor should publish It at hl8 own cost. Every line In a newspaper costs somebody something. Up to this time no plan has been discovered, whereby a newspaper may be published or whereby type may be set, without cost. Graduated from the Citadel. Mr. James Perrin Quarles was In the recent graduating class from the South. Carolina Military Academy, an*j from "The Spbynx," we Infer that he held a high position among his fellow students. He was one of the Editors and Business Manager of the plass ft-- publication, which 1b a most Interesting vol* urne 01 200 pages, nicely printed.v The book treats of a great variety of subjects, and furnishes much interesting data about the Academy, Its teachers, and its students. Beautiful pictures abound and adorn Its pages throughout. Mr. Quarles is well equipped for the duties of life, and he will enter a career ol usefulness, with good prospects, full of hope for the better things that lie In store for deserving youth. iv? m % ^ L-. Orders for Ice promptly filled when left C- with J. L. Perrin. For nil kinds of.staple or lanoy Roods ?o or end to lladdon's. k McSwccney and iltc Jie?"H|m|>ors. In South Carolina there is to be a primary /or State officers this year, anil if we understand the law correctly it requires a majority of the whole vote cast in the primary to decide. This is as it should be, and is the only plan llkeiy to give satisfaction. To allow a mere plurality to nominate, where there are several candidates, would be asure roi?d to complaint. Where there are four or five or more candidates for the same office it might easily happen that Ihe candidate securing a plurality ol the voles might get less ihau one-fourth of the entire vote ol the State. When one caudidate has not received a majority of the total vote 'el a second election be held to decide between the two who secured the highest vote in the previous contest. Then if the voters have taken a proper interest In the matter the successful mau will have received a clear majority over all. This will be fair and satisfactory, and no other plan will. That is the South Carolina Democratic plau lrom United States Senator clear down the line. By the wt\y, we notice that one of the charges made against Gov. McSweeney, who became Governor on the death of Gov. Ellerbe and who is now a canaidiite before the pri niarJKM its mat uo titucn ujc wummj , the State and pays for them out of tbo contingent fund. He explain? that reports of grand Juries, proclamation? and otber publications which should be matters of record are priDted in the*e country papers, and that they should be on file In the executive office. If tbey can bring no graver objection to Gov. McSweeney than that he takes and preserves tbe newspapers of th-2 State he should be triumphantly elected, for he Is doing just what the Governors of all the States ought to do. If tbe State Library of Alabama contained copies of all the newspapers published in the State since it was organized tbey would form a historical record which no labor and no money can now procure. Strangers as well as our own people are often interested In facts connected with the State's and counties' histories which would be invaluable if tbey could be found, but whlcb are now unattainable. Tbe subscription for and binding these papers would cost a few hundred dollars each year, but their value can hardly be estimated, and the lack of such dataas.tbey would afford Is becoming more apparent each year, as people become more interested in our general and local history. When federal soldiers in April, 1SG5, placed all the Advertiser files in a plfe in front of the office and made a bonfire of t^em tbey committed an act of vandalism to? which there was no Justification and which can never be remedied. Every important event connected with the history and progress ol^the State was treated to a greater or less extenjtin these files, muoh of which was valuable, and which can not now be obtained. If these files bad been preserved, and If to them was\ added complete files of tbe country and otqer papers, It fimnlch o mono nf Infnrmlftlloif Which wouid be beyond estimate. \ Gov. McSweeney should be endorsed Instead of condemned for this pjart of bis official record.?Montgomery Advertiser. As an Instance, showing ttae value of newspaper files, we might cite/ the sale of the Charleston Courier some twenty years ago, wjien it was consolidated j with the Charleston News. The type, machinery, furniture and other material equipments brought $8,000. The flies alqne, brought '200. Again : wben the contract for printing the Confederate rolls was being compiled with Mr. August Kohn, the QJolumbla staff editor or the News and Courier/asked the printer for an extra copy of the rolfl of eadh company as it was printed. The pj/lnter cheerfully complied with the request and Mr. Kohn now I ha* a hook wbloh Is .'not to be estimated by ajftoney value. 1W printer could have had Without cost a copy of that book containing the roll of GO.OOO Confederate soldiers, if he had had the forethought to preserve it; but be did not, and haB regretted the neglect ever since. As far as we are Informed Mr. Kohn has the only copy of the book In existence, and we venture to suggest that he ba6 no book upon which he sets a higher estimate. These instances show the historical value ol bound volumnes of newspapers, and we bope that tbe Governor may save the Hies of at least some of tbe newspapers that are received at his office. ? Negro School House. We learn that there is a proposition before the board of school trustees to build a new and better public school house for the negroes of the city. Without reference to their wishes, but wllh reference to the pride and public spirit of the town, the Press and Banner hopes to see a nice brick building erected for tbelr use. A. people are regarded in a large measure by thotr nhnrchiw anil l.hAlr nnhlifl buildincs. Abbeville bat; built for the white children a splendid school house, costing some $15,000. Now let tbe city build at least a respectable brick house for the colored people. It would not be to our credit to waste money bujlding a wooden shack, which would cost nearly as much as a good brick building. Abbeville is a proud city, and for her own sake, she should not put a trilling building with the cbeap trashy timber that is to be bad at this time. If we cannot afford to build a decent bouse, let us not put up a structure that would disgrace us or put us to sbame In the eyes of tbe world. A good building, or none at all. Connecting the RailroatlM. We learn that the Southern has been surveying different routes between its line and the Seaboard Air Line, with a view to Genii nectlng tbe traoks. 1 '? We do not know how much determination there may be In the matter, but we hope the connection ^111 be made. The Interests of 1 me town ana the railroads migiu be pro' moted by a connecting track, and we are quite aare that tbfe oottoa mill would be gratified at an additional track no that Mr. St. John could not, for pare spite, take up his old track again. If Mr. St. John knew that we had a side track to tbe Southern he would ' not be lots civil to hlB best customer in this i city, and the Southern would And,In the cotton mill a good customer. *. ,, ' , "/r The Greenville News, In its new and en, larged form.

We beg to say that the city has no large engine or boiler that will be used by us for driving our electric machine. We bought some months ] ago a large automatic high class engine and I boiler which will be used in conuection with the one the city has for pumping as well as . lighting. * Ground has been broken for a new electric fc power house or engine and dynamo room adJoining the present pump bouse which latter { is to be enlarged so as to accommodate our 1 new boiler. i The whole nower house Is to be remodeled 1 and enlarged and tbe electrical aod pumping l equipment (all of which Is the bent made) will be re-arranged and put In first class con- . dltion and equal to any electric plant In tbe soutb. We hope to get In our new power bouse in ? two weeks time, in fact we take charge of the pumping of the water July l, 1000, after which , time water will be furnished at the low rate , of 20 centa per thousand gallons and a stand- ' ard pressure for fire protection will be kept all times. We sincerely hope the amount of water used will be largely increased, on account of i the great reduction in price, we believe it will. -?
