. I The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ? AS-Publlshed every Wednesday at S2 ft year la advance. Wednesday, July 18,1900. X ' i\iA?n?AM*ki ?? kloul Tkm? Innii." IUC l/nim?ri r? (>|r .. ? , The Spartansburg Herald need have no fear ' of danger to us from tbe Dictator's " Steel Trap Jaws." On tbe subject of supporting Bryan, we may be pardoned for quoting some expressions from citizens of Abbeville. These expressions ' were made In private conversation and without any intimation that they would be repeated In print. We therefore cannot give the names, but they are among our best and most respected citizens. 1. A gentleman whose education, social ; position and good character entitle him to y tbe respect of his neighbors, said : "I do not believe the thinking people endorse Bryan." 3. One of tbe richest as well as one of the most public spirited citizens who has done as i much as anybody to build up tbe town, sald; i "1 would not vote for Bryan uuder any consideration. He has no right to be President and does not deserve to be President. I shall vote for McKinley." 3. Another old citizen, who was agood Confederate soldier, and well off today In this world's goods, said : " 1 shall vote for McKinley." 4. A younger citizen and publlo spirited UUlUcro iiit&ii, oaiu. x ouan iviv <w> 1 don't believe in any of Bryan's foolishness." 5. Another prominent business man who holds an Important place In the welfare ol the town, said:" I am taking no part In politics. I belong to nobody and shall vote as J please "?for McKlnley. 6. Another substantial citizen who stands high in the opinion of bis neighbors, is recognized as a voter for Mckinley. A politician who has been honored more than once by a majority of the voters of thie county, said, "I believe a large per cent of the Intelligent people of this State are Republicans at heart, bnt I am a free sliver Democrat and a believer in Bryan." S. One of the best known mechanics in this section of the State, said : " I expect to vote for McKlnley. I don't want the business ' Interests of the country disturbed by either f Bryan's election or his lree silver foolishness." 9. Another citizen who has the good will ol all of our people, said:, "McKlnley is good enough for me. I don't want any Bryan in f mine." W'e have not heard the following parties I speak, but we learn that they have spoken substantially as follows: 11. A good merchant Is opposed to Bryan, and&favors tbe election of McKinley. 11. Oneof tbe oldest and best merchants in town, whose oredlt is first-class and whose estate is well up in the tens of thousands, is unqualifiedly for McKinley. 12. One of the oldest and most successful merchants of oar town Is strongly in favor ol McKinley. He may not vote the Republican ticket, but Bryan wilt not get It. 18. A citizen who has taken an active part in many improvements in the town, and who represents big money, does not want Bryan elected. 14. A young man who did good service in tbeSpahtsh war. and acquitted himself with credit to bis home people Is for the gold stand' ard. He believes It to be to the best Interest of the country to re elect McKinley, but owing to his lifelong Democratic association will probably vote for Bryan. Again: we would state that no man has been interviewed for tne purpose of getting hla opinions published. The expressions came from men representing a large part ol the wealth, the Intelligence and the business Interests of the town. There may be, and doubtless are, a great many Bryan men In town, but we have not heard them speak' Among politicians there must be Brayn men. and on election day It Is possible that many of the men named above may refuse to vote, or else stifle their own personal convictions to comply with party demands. But certain it is that liiu fullu-Mveni'KK to party Hues Is uotHlroug umou? the representative men ol th's section. Tue business men, as a rule, can be divided as joiiows: a lew may vote for Bryan, a oamber may cot vote atnll, and some may vote for McKlnley. That Is the way it looks tc us Just now. When a man seeks to be president with the avowed purpose of tampering with the business lntererests of the country, he should be required to take a back seat. We have no recollection of haviue heard any citizen who takes a leading part In the business Interests of the town, or who repre sents the monled interests, say that be favor ed the election of Bryan, the Dictator. Of oouse, It is expected that the politician! are for Brvan. It is also thnto accept ready made opinions that may be furnished to them, are for Bryan. But the .opinion expressed by the first who is quoted la our own belief. "The thinking people dc not endorse Bryan." Those who do their owe thinking know that the tarltr has turned hundreds of millions of gold to this country and that the circulation per capltia is greater today than it ever was. They do not want tc see the business Interests disturbed. They know that It is worse than pure rot to try tc make out that the gold standard and the Ke, publican tarifl had nothing to do with the buildldgof our cotton mills, and it Is foolish to contend that the unprecedented prosperity cannot be attributed to legitimate causes. If Bryan, the Dictator, with "Steel Tra{ Jaws," polls a big vote this year at Abbeville It Is certain that many of the beet men and tbeimost representative citizens will yield their own judgment. We do not see how s greater calamity could befall this country than the election of tbe'Dlctator. Imperial Ism Is better than stamping out the cltlzen'f rights at the Instance of any Dictator. Speaking (or the Press and Banner, we dc not see how any man. who does his owe thinking, can favor Iiryan, whose platforir Annoalo fAI? tho WAfou nf oKoatoot frilttt Ar earth?the labor unions?whoBe members b< often defy the laws of the land, comml murder of Inoffensive men for no othei reason than for wanting a Job, and destroys th< property of the corporations which refuse to submit to their demands. In Reply. If the editor of The State, who so oftei throws his stereotyped epithets at men. wb< are better than himself, could imbibe some thing of the Instincts which govern gentlemei he need not so often yield to the impulsei which characterize the conduot of the bully and the braggart. If he sought honorabh methods he would have no occaslon.to strlk< beneath the belt. A good cause furnishes n< good reasou for resorting to tbo lowest anc the meanest methods known to men. The right to question any man's Natlgpa politics lu l'JOO is not conceded to any mar who bolted the state Democratic ticket In ISi* and voted with a coterie to overthrow thi Democratic State ticket in that year. VETEEAN. ?? v Coining; to the Carnival. Mr. John A. Dkvlin, of Due West, a gal lant veteran of the late unpleasantness, wai in town Monday, looking for quarters durlni the Fair and Carnival. Pretty Jardiniere cheep at Morse's for Ith< balance ol the season. The CnruivHl. The Carnival opened Its gates yesterday, with flags flying, drums beating, horses gaily caparisoned, and shouters much in evidence. Our ladies made most beautiful exhibits la the Court House and the public park. They uuited as oue in a great effort to show their handiwork and their skill, and most nobly have they succeeded. The floral exhibit in the park is more beautiful than could be the wildest dream of the beauty and loveliness of the Garden of Eden. Grandmother Eve had no conception of the latent beauties of nature which her lovely grand daughters have since developed in the kingdom of flowers. When it comes to the fruit question, we know that Grandmother Eve would not have regarded a sour apple if she had seeu Mr. J. R. Blake's splendid assortment of the most toothsome fruits that tempted the eye or gratified the taste of man. The old lady would have: helped herself bountifully and then she would have helped the old gentle Ha TTAM Irt hflVA fllAtl of complaint irom tbe department of the interior The old lady herself would liave expired from the combined effect of both physical and mental suffering because she had nobody to 6end for the doctor. It Is a blessed thing that Mr. Blake's variety of fruit added nothing to the appetite or taste of tbe origiual fruit eaters. As a matter of plain unvarnished fact, Mr. Blake has the nicest fruit we ever 6aw, It would take an expert to describe It. Today tbe school children and the Veterans will be tbe chief attractions In the grand parade. Immediately after the parade the speaking before the Survivors Association will take place. The parade yesterday was one of the most , beautiful ever witnessed in Abbeville, and It [ is Bald that tbe parado today will be a sight well worth seeing. THE DECOKATIONS. The decorations of our business bouses are very pretty. The Court House Is done up In fine style. Tbe Glen-Ethel Is fringed all ' around Its parapet walls, and many stores have gaily attired fronts. Learning Each Other. i Mr. I. Strang, assistant chief Industrial agent of the Seaboard Air'Line, Is In town, ! looking after the interests of both the road ( and the people. He Is one of those solid ] straightforward kind of men who carries conviction as to the sincerity of his purpose. Tbe Carnival which Is now going on promises to result In good to us all. If we should realize no other good than the bringing about , of a better understanding, and a closer rela, Hon, between people and road, much benefit , would result. Let the people learn to trust , the motives and purposes of the railroad menr and let tbe railroad men learn that tbls people are susceptible to good treatment and sen. sltlve to ill-treatment And when we understand each other, we will all rub each other's hair the right way. China. The situation In China 1b more and more perplexing. At Tien Tsin a battle bas been fought in | which the American suffered terribly. The Uoited StateB Government is preparing to send more troops to the East, if they should . be needed. The President bas gone back to Washington to meet his cabinet. Gen. Miles may command American troops In China. The Chinese are armed with the best implements of war, and the allied troops may have a big Job on their hands. The war with China will temporarily stop commerce with the United States. In this many cotton mills of the South will suffer. Strikes/ The best evidence of prosperity is the strikes by laboring men. When Jobs are scarce and hard to find no whisper of a strike can be beard, but when business is brisk and the demand for labor is great, strikes occur. In the South we nave naa lower siriKes man elsewhere, und the l&ok of strikes la evidence that there 18 still more labor than can find profitable employment. As soon as the manufacturing or Industrial pursuits give profitable employment to all, then some labor agitator will propose to make the corporation "stand and deliver." SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS. Hit* the State Superintendent of Education n Right to Show Pnrtinllly to Touchers. i The State Superintendent of Education is making his official career felt in this as well other sections of the State. ' There has been some comolalnt at his cast. iron rules, and as far as we know, he has made very few new friends in this county. The peopleilove Justice and fair play. In some instances tney may see tne wisuom or an 1 this tommy lotaoout higher standards. One notable thing is the examination papers. ' For instanoe; what would the ability to answer a se. of questions, like these, prove as - to one's fitness to teach school? 1. How far is It from Jericho to Con federick cross-roads ? 2. Where was Moses when the light went > out? ) 8. If it costs thirty cents to ride^on the cars from Abbeville to Hodges Depot, bow long 1 would it take a one-legged man to walk the distance? > 4. How old was Washington when be died ? 1 5. How much time will Uncle Sam need to make good Sunday School children out of the Fllipplnos? 6. What would become of the country In case Bryan should be elected President. > 7. Can yon give a good reason for con tin u lng the present dictatorial management of the schools? ' 8. Why Rbould the State Superintendent's . favorites have submitted to them a set of ? questions which anybody could answer, while others are given questions which few can answer? 9. Which do you think would be worse for the State, the election of Vbe liquor ticket or the perpetuation of the present boss rule over ' the schoolB ? } tlO. By what autborltj does the State Superln I tendent ol Education order the colored teacb. era of Abbeville and Anderson counties to 1 Greenwood ? Do vou bnlleve the colored i teachers did right la not submitting to tbe requirement? 11. Do you believe tbe Governor did right - Id refusing to pardon tbe bigamist as well as ) In declining to obey Instructions of tbe State Superintendent of Education wherein It was proposed to depose good and faithful officers ' so tbat the said Superintendent might have i his own pets appointed? , 12. Do you believe In tbe present iniquitous law which appropriates 55,000 of the 1 State's money for distribution among the la) vorltes of the State Superintendent of Educat Hon ? 13. Do you believe it right for the State Superintendent of Education and bis paid 9 associates, to harry and annoy the teachers , for four weeks during tbe heated term, when they should be at rest, and Irorn unnecessary expense? 14. Did you have anything to do iu imposing the whoLp business of teaching upon the State Superintendent of Education? If so, please state your reasons ror transferring inn duty of tbe County Superintendents of Education to the State Superintendent of Education ? Please be specific. 15. In tbe election of teachers, is It better to elect a competent teacher, who can teach the books In ase, or Is it better to elect a teacher who Is not prepared to teaob the bookB in use. and for whom new books must be bought? 16. Do you think it right to go fishing on the Fourth of July ? If so, why? .. Memorial Services. 1 At the Confederate Re-union today pieces i will be read commemorative of distinguished I) dead. L. \V.

Although the moon was shining brightly some additional llehts were thought to be needed to add enchantment to this delightful sylvan retreat, and lanterns were hung about at intervals, which lent quite a charm to the surroundings. Mr. E. R. Horton, the owner, has been at some expense In tilting up the grounds for such and like occasions, and be proposes to still beautify tbem.
