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.

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.

Threatened Riot.
A few days ago a negro killed a white man
In Georgetown. The slayer was placed in
jail. a KreHb IU uulluuc ui uc^muo oodqujbled
about the Jail Id a threatening manner.
The Governor was asked to send troops,
when companies from Columbia volunteered
to go. A company wont from Charleston
with cannon, gatllng gun and arms. A company
from Sumter responded promptly.
Quiet was preserved. In Georgetown the
negroes are greatly In the majority. The
promptness of the Governor and the Adju.

were notable, and showed the efficlenoy and

i Oa 1 veston, Texas, Sept. 39,1900.
My Dear Daughter:
I write to let yon know by the moroy of
God our lives have been spared In a most
. inlraculouB manner. On the night of the
, storm onr house aDd everything we possessed
with a fine horse and mule, together' with
' entire crop was washed away and entirely
destroyed, while we were washed down in an
orchard and were only saved by dinging to
the trees through tbe long dismal night in
1 water up to our necks.
Your rather Is now lying In a very critical
. condition, suffering from brain fever and in
blB unconscious condition raves about the
awful storm and tbe loss of. everything we
nnaanancrl whinh was the accumulation of a
life . time. We are now in deep distress and
totally without tbe necessaries ol life wltb a
dark future before ns.
Anything you or our Abbeville friends can
send us will be most thankfully appreciated.
Your loving mother.
