The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILX.E, S. C. ^-Published every Wednesday at 52 a year ) advance. WednesdayTOot. 3,1900. (L? I ConiDion BaNlneBH Sense. The Anderson Mall is disposed to act like the traditional dot; in the manger. At the election ill November the people will vote on a nroDOHltlon to amend the constitution so as f to allow Charleston, Columbia, norence, kock 11111 and Georgetown to bond themselves beyond the coubtlutlonal limit of 8 per oent. Those cities want to bond themselves and have asked for the amendment. Ab the adoption of the amendment will affect them, and affect them alone, It is hard to see any reason for any opposition to the amendment by the Anderson Mall. ifiven after the amendment is passed, as we trust and believe It will be, there can bo no Increase of the bonded Indebtedness of any one of those cities without the consent or Its citizens. Thoy know their needs better than the Anderson Mall does. Take the case of Co'umbia, for Instance. This city Is hampered and retarded In its growth by the lack of a l sewerage system. It can only obtain a sewI erage system by bonding itself. Bat the presf ent constitutional limitation keeps the city F from adding to its bonded indebtedness. Yet > it Is generally believed that the Installation of a good sewerage system In this city will so greatly expedite Its growth that the taxation 'v on new property will take care of the addiItlonal Indebtedness. Common business sense impels Columbia to ask for the opportunity to further bond herself.?Columbia Kecord. \ The Press and Banner is not convinced that the proposed constitutional amendment should be passed. The present indebtedness ,' of these cities Is already large. The refusal to allow further confiscation of the citizen's property for public uses may have a wnoleJ^y/*rtfu]e"1e?fton in teaching publlo spirited clti\ zens In other towns the necessity for careful AA*.aMA?ia*lnn Knffti-o inonlvrlno tholr fnvna In wuoiuciaiauu MVIWJW iuwitiu^ HMVI* ?# ? ?? ? unnecessary debt. Oat of perhaps a hundred elections for the Increase of public debt we presume that not five such efforts have failed. A proposition to vote away the oltlzen's money always goes. If there be such great need of sewerage systems some other means can be foond to get it, without altering the constitution to salt eaoh different locality. / ' .<?. , Neighbor, you will excuse.ns. We shall not vote for your extra constitutional tax, though if that proposition goes like other propositions to tax cities, yon will be a bigger winner than you were In the reoent primary. If this bigger tax proposition should carry it will be but a short time until other communities ^gflukkbavetoeubmlttothesame Increase of taxation. , Xbe present constitutional limitation is the only safeguard that we have for our property. Break that down and a few public spirited citizens would lead the mob to oar ntter ruin. It matters not how foollBh the proposition, an ellort to increase the taxes never falls. Those who by Industry, economy or inheritance possess a little money deserve some protection a. the hands of the law. ' f Next United States Senator. We notice some-speculation as to who wlil l be Senator McLaurln's successor. I .Senator MoLaurln's sinning, we believe, ^ oonslsted In adherelng to Bryan's expressed opinion that the'Paris treaty of peace should be ratified. This newspaper agrees with Bryan In that t opinion, though dlllerlng from him In other C | matters. Senator MoLanrln, we presume, voted for the ratification from conviction. At any rate he did not favor throwing away the valuable Island* which we bad acquired. He did toot want/the Goverment to dishonor the ( soldiers who won such glorious victory. He took the proper view of the whole situation, [ and.voted for the right regardless of what his polltloal enemies thought ' ' Believing tbat MoLaurln acted bravely and ^rightly In the ratification of the Paris treaty, this newspaper expects to support him against the field in the next election. We know very 'little as to his strength, or his popularity, but *re believe that a majority of the people favor ATnanirinn. and that thev will stand to the mail who has the courage to vote for the right, and face the unjust olamor which was raised uKainnt him ut tite iimu. Expansion 1b good Democratic doctrine. The Democrats have annexed all the territory whloli this country has acquired, except Alaska and the Islands which we took from Spain. There 1b neither . sense nor reason In Demoorats throwing away the best work of the Republicans, and even if I Bryan was eleoted be would not favor bo foolish a proposition. Let Us Have Facts. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian of iaat week, among other things, says: i "The whiskey men we know did not vote for Hoyt." :* The construction of the sentence leaves some doubt as to what was meant. If the Presbyterian meant to say tbat "the whiskey I men of bis acquaintance did not vote for Hoyt," the significance of the remark is very k*mi UUillCU* W If however, the Presbyterian meant to Bay that "be knew the whiskey men did not vote for Hoyt," then the expression has a wide meaning, and Is a misleading statement, as far as this town la concerned. " We do not know of oar own knowledge, how any man voted In the recent primary, and oould not make oath to any man's vote, but It \ is a matter of current talk here that many men who opposed the dispensary and favored license voted for Uoyt. If there is a prohibitionist In this town we have not heard of the fact, and have heard tbe name of no gentleman In this town used in connection with that party. We believe It Is susceptible of proof that Hoyt's vote waB made up almost exclusively of men who were either anti Tlllmanltes or wero in favor of anything wherein there might be a possibility of doing away with tbe dispensary, aud inaugurating a license system, or even for giving an opportunity for blind tigers. ? The Philippine*. In view of the near approach of the election it seoms that Aguinaldo, or his emllwarles, would like to have an Influence In deoldlng who shall be president. f In our opinion the Government at Washington had better send a hundred thousand soldiers to the Islands, or any number, greater or smaller, that may be needed to put a ; quietus on any Tagalog Interference In behalf of Mr. Bryan. ir McKlnley would send enough troops to quell the insurrection, the Insurrectionists would hardly have the Impudence to try and Interfere with American elections. fliecrfnl Outlook. Wo see statements In the newspapers that l this State will be called upon to contribute to I the National campaign fund. Politicians will take notice thereof and come up to the scratch with their money. Gentlemen who eat Dem^ ocratlo plums can afford to give something to Insure the success of the Democratic nominee lor President. Good ThlnKM to Vote Agaiuftt. Both the proposed constitutional amendI. ments. Ouc proposes to allow certain cities | to lucreiiKe taxation. Tho other is Intended to turn over the low lauds on our streams to publlo oUlcern with power to embarrass the owners uy a debt which they may neither Iwant or be awe to pay. As a rule tho owners of land are able to take care of it. 1865*81 For 35 years we truthfully say, witlioi We have bought free One of the Chi In all our experi< They are just as low, time.

Come We are grateful Goebel's Amamln. James Howard at Frankfort has been found guilty of the murder of Governor Goebel of Kentucky. This occurred laat Wednesday, and tbe convict has since been sentenced to * " ? ,x ? * WV.a?K?? UawqwI In De nangea jjectmuoi ?. >r uciuci Uvn_.. ? guilty or not we do not know, bat Blnce the Legislature appropriated 8100,000 for the oouvlotlon of (Joebel's assassin we have not had the sllgbest doubt that somebody would be oenvlcted. With a hundred thousand dollars as a reward for evldenoe we believe It possible to bring about a conviction of somebody? If not of anybody. There Is always the right sort of a person to be used as the subject of vengeance, and 9100,000 is calculated to bring out the neoessarv facts. . Howard may or may not be guilty. We are not at all surprised, howevever, whether guilty or Innocent. The evidence upon which he was convicted mayjiave warranted conviction. We know nothing of the witnesses, and are not prepared to express an opinion to their credibility. The Big Trust. Tbe miners In Pennsylvania nave Been offered an Increase In wages of ten per cent, but they have refused to return to work. Tbe price ol coal baa been raised In consequence of tbe strike, and up to tbe present time we bave not seen that Mr. Bryan bas bad anything to say about the effect of tbe Labor Union Trust that compels,tbe users ol coal to pay more for It. Coal Is as necessary to tbe oomfort of the people as any other commodity, but our great leader s$ems not to be fighting trusts that vote. A hundred and fllty thousand votes properly distributed might bave a powerful influence In electing a President, and it would be Impolitlo to antagonise the hand that casts so many ballots. The President of tbe; Labor Union seems to bave tbe antborlty of a military commander or tbe power of 4 despot, and those under him must obey without word or question. ????^ Getting at Facts. It seems, even if knowing prohibitionists should decline to accept places on the con* stabulary force, that there is at least a fair prospect of making witnesses out of the Smart AleckB who published during tbe campaign what they knew of the liquor trat lio. Even If these gentlemen should decline to take positions as constables they can yet be of great service In pointing out violators ol the dispensary law. Their published state ments, If sworn to, would put the constablei on track of many violators of the whiskey law. While we do not claim to have great In fluence with the Governor, yet we think he will not disregard the suggestion that Smart Alecks who testified so freely in tbe oampalgn should now be allowed to teet^y under oaib. Let him reorganize the force first. Let these witnesses prove their oharge of Inefficiency, and then let the Governor put on coostables who will make witnesses out suob prohibitionists as are well Informed. Warehouse. It seems that Abbeville is to bave a ware, house. Capt. John Lyon 16 at the bead of the movement, and it seems that sucoess will crown bis efforts. If he succeeds In building tbe warehouse he will be a public benefactor, and his success will no doubt pay tbe stockholders a fair profit. It is proposed to build a SO,000 warehouse. Mr. John U.Blake heads tbe list with a subsorlptlon of 81,000; J. L. McMillan takes $400; W. D. UarkBdale, 8300; Dr, Harrison, 8500. Hon. W. H. Barker, 5300; and others of whose names we have not heard. Only about 81,500 remains to be subscribed. The success of the enterprise may be set down as a fact. It is to be located on tbe tracks ol one of the railroads, as the stockholders and olrcumstances may direct. Capt. Lyon will have charge of It. Our Sentiment. The Spartanburg Herald having expressed our own sentiments on the Chinese problem better than we could do, we cut Its edltlonal out with tbe Intention of reproducing it in theae columns. The hyprocrlsy and cruelty with which we treat Chinamen In a prolltlcal way, while pretending to be anxious about the tout of the heathen Chinese, Is too appar ent to need comment. Tbe State'declares a Chinaman until to sleep on our shores, or to land in thfooountry, and yet the Church rays that he ! bod enough to go to heaven when he dies. If St. Peter should issue nn edict against Chinamen entering the gates of the oelestlal city?after the manner of American exclusion laws?why should we bother ourselves about the Chinaman, religiously or politically ? Didn't Get the Nomination. Mr. P. B. Cur wile was In town last Monday. He is the tirst man in tbe history of the County who received a majority of the votes, but failed to get a nomination. In this instance four of the candidates for the Legislature received a majority of the votes while there were only three places to be tilled. Mr. Carwlle Is a good man, and the people are Just. This being true he may yet be happyHe Is young now, and will not be old at the next election. The rush of the season will be to get the new shades in Venitian and Broad cloths. All shades at Haddon's. ! l* ' ' ''*V - ; 5rtv-f have been studying t nt any danger of liavi ily this season and ar< sapest and Mos ence we have never k , if not lower than las rive you good Calicoes a yard, and Unbleac s a pound. )QUBTEDL? 1 bo be higher.

That paper Is represented to ns to be one of tbe ablest of tbe denominational newspapers, and its editor has not only the oourage or bis convictions, bat Is noted for the honesty 'of bis speeob.
