The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, X. O. *#-Pabllehed every Wednesday at $ _' a year iu advance. Wednesday, Aug. 22,1900. "(JrfHl Rettpect lor (he Preacher*." I LaBt Monday, Messrs. Frank B. Gary ?ud A. Howard Patterson declared on the stump here that they had great respect for that class of people known as preachers of the gospel, but this class of citizens was wanting in information In politics and eoooomics, and while the preachers were good oltlzens and meant well, it was dangerous for the body politic to follow their lead when important political questions were involved. These two candidates for governor, however, had "great respect for the prenchers,'' but their ideas of government were theoretical and visionary and would result in failure if the people were so foolish as to accept their political theories and adopt them. It seems to us that. Mr. CJary and Mr. Patterson presumed too much wbeu they tossed the little bone of "great resoeot for the preachers" at the clersv of this State, and then took the opportunity to tell them that they were a weak class ol citizens outside of the pulpit, and that their opinions were worth nothing in affairs of state and should be confined to the creeds and governments of the churoh. It is not out of place bete to remind these gentleman that while preachers are educated tn theology. there are many broad minded preachers in this State who have well balanc* ea minas ana wuo cau kwi< tmu ?ui>c k.v~.? questions of State without prejudice and without demagogical leering to one side or the other. A preacher who devotes his life to the ministry serves bis fellow man as no other man can, If be be a pure man, and If he be broad minded, he studies the great questions of State as well as church and he is as well If not better qualified to reach correct conclusions than the politician whose loremost tnought is to catch a popular wave and ride Into office. Especially Is this true where Sreat moral questions are In Issue which bear lrectly on the home and family. ' Because the preachers as a class do not accumulate money bv trade, by throwing themselves lDto doubtful channels of specula* tlon and growing rich Irom the lost toll of otbdr men, that is no reason why they should notjbe capable of solving great problems in economics and presenting tbem In such shape as will result in practical good for the people. "Great respect for the preachers'' is a beautl| ful text for a politician to take to tell the masses what a weak class of citizens the preachers are.?Greenwood Journal. Upon which the Press and Banner would remark: There are two classes of persons that need never go on the defensive, namely : 1. Modest women. 2. Preachers who remain in their chosen profession. Whenever either transcends their prescribed limits of usefulness, they may becomt subjects of criticism. it is clearly the duty and privilege of the minister of the gospel to preach temperance ttnrt unVirlot.v na a nrlnntnln nrirl hk ft rule ol lite. But when they enter the arena of politics the great mass of men regard them, to that extent at least, as having thrown aside - their srcred robes to dabble In dirty pools. When they do that then they deserve and generally receive as much respect as is paid to other politicians. If a preacher may enter politics, why maj not a layman discuss theology? Charleston Exposition. , The Press and Banner never waits to see which way the crowd Is going, and then rushet to the head of the column and claim to b< leading amultltude of followers. If we wanted to follow the crowd in this Instance we would aocept the statement that the Charleston Ex position would benefit not only the City bj 's the Sea, but all the State. To our mind no statement could be mor< absurb, or have less the semblance of reasot .. In It than to suppose that a big trade and t buiy time for Charleston would benefit Abbe' Title. The acceptance of the newspaper statement that the overflow advantages of the Kxposi tlon would reach the uttermost parts of the Stale is so preposterous, and so lack log tor a basis on reason that we are astonished. The Atlanta Exposition was distant only 180 miles, and yet no overflow advantages reached Abbeville. If Athens, Augusta, Savannah, Macon or Chattanooga got any advantage of It we have not heard of it. our testimony would U?- that Atlanta drew from Abbeville many thousands of dollars which should have been spent al Abbeville or should have gone to pay debts here. Some of our merchants, we believe, lost a largt trade by the Exposition, and none of our peo pie reaped any advantage to themselves by going to the Atlanta Exposition. In twenty years this editor has not spent S; out of Abbeville, aDd we see no reason why our people should be enticed away to spent: their money among strangers. Let no man misunderstaud us. We are foi Abbeville first, last and all the time. But w? are not foolish enough to try to stop the Ex position. It will go on all the same. And our people will be there, too. But when wt protest against going back on the businesi ,'v men who have always treated them so well we have discharged our duty. We are nol going to encourage our people to waste theli money by going to Charleston. The Black Diamond. The extract from the Palmetto Post will be Interesting to all our people, whether they were believers in the Black Diamond Kailroad or whether they took no part in the proceedings whereby our city contributed SO.OOO to it. As long as contributions to that fund Were by individual subscriptions, nobody had a right, or had a disposition, to meddle with It, but now when that obllgaiion has been assumed by the town it might be well to have an itemized statement of the expenditures. The town is entitled to that at least. If the bill of particulars Is furnished we will publish it without charge. But If there exists facts which should not be known to the pub11 r* n f /tAnrufi tho Kill r\f rl iuhn runmon t u thnnM not be published. In such case it would be well to withhold the publication. But we have no disposition to turn the light on anything iu tblBatfalr which should be covered by a pavilion of darkness. 1( * mere has been waste, or misappropriation, we shall not urge the publication. We only urge the publication In case everything is all right. Ourgood irlend Mr. J. L. Trible, we know, feels just like we do, and would agree with us in opinion as to whelherthe itemised bill of expenses should be made public. P??klii iu the HandN of tlie Allied Force*. The Chinese did not object, and the allied forces of the dltlerent powers eutered the sacred city several days ago. The Chinest troops and the Empress fled aud left ttu Invaders in charge of the city. The foreigners were rescued, but the trouble is, to know how to get them away. Jf the Chinese should so determine, their imfcaense numbers would warrant, them in taking the allied force* prisoners. l>et it not be forgotten that the Chinese In elude about one-third of the human family and. if they exerted it, their power would be irreslstable. China is now atitiealintr for a cessation o hostilities until a peace can be negotiated for and it looks like the war as wuged will cease but we have no Idea that the matter will be so readily settled. The powers will likelj quarrel and possibly tight belore the rucus It settled. II you want to save money, buy youi School Books from DuPre's Book Store.

At Batesburg the meeting was featureless except for the sharp controversy between Gov. McSweeney and Mr. Frank B. Garry. Gov. McSweeney spoke tirst, and in the course of his speech said that the only thing that was brought up against hltn was tne auegea non-enforcement of the dispensary law, and be dared and defied any one to bring up any charge to sbow dereliction of duly on his part or where be bad done anything that he should not have done. Mr. Gary followed immediately after and said that he would take up the challenge and that be alleged that Gov. McSweeney bad not been doing what be should In Columbia. Tben he went on to say tbat here was Gov. McSweeney boasting of doing as much as 1 could be done and while in Columbia be had been told tbat there bad not been a constable in Columbia In three weeks and that no raids had been made in Columbia in weeks and that It was stated tbat no constable bad been , in Columbia in weeks, except to pass through, although It was notorious there were blind tigers in Columbia. Tben Mr. Gary went on to say he understood the constables were out working for McSweeney. Gov. McSweeney arose and said: "Mr. Gary. thHt statement is not correct." Mr Gary went on to say that he had positive information that his statements were correct. (iov. McSweeney said that the statements were not correct and demanded the proof. Mr Gary?I can give you the proof. Gov. McSweenev?I demand the proof. Mr. Gary?Col. John T. Gaston told me so. Gov. McSweeney?I say there is not one word of trnth in the.statement. Mr. Gary?Mr. W. J.Shelton told me so also. Gov. McSweeney -It Is not so, not a word of , ItMr Gary then went on to ask if things were j to be anowea to run noi m (..uiuuiom iu iui? 1 way and if the constables, as be bad been informed, were to be sent off to work tor Gov. McSweeney. When Mr. Gary had concluded his speech Gov. McSweeney arose and said to Mr Gary lie hoped be understood what be had to say which was tbat any information that be had sent constables oft to work for bim was untrue and whoever said so told a deliberate lie. Mr. Gary asked Gov. McSweeney if be was , going to Columbia on the afternoon train and he said tbat he was. whereupon Mr. Gary ' sail he would bring the parties lace to face } and said that be made tbe statements upon i tbe authority named. Mr. W. J. Shelton is a former resident of I 1'nlon county and has been on the constabu lary force. Col. John T. Gaston is a former , resident of Aiken county and was at one time superintendent of the State dispensary. 1 THEY WERE RIPE. ? t ? i No Vne to Thnmp Jen KIIIh'h Watermelon*. ) Not so long ago, while lying awake in tbe i middle of the night, two persons were heard talking under the window. After awhile one of them was understood to say that "there's just no use in thumping .less iritis s i watermelons. I know I have gotton a twohorse wagon load of them out of his patch, ' and I haven't struck a green one yet. They all seem to be ripe, and there is no use to thump them." ; ABBEVILLE ASSOCIATION.
