C , stopped a few boars in Abbeville last Thursday night on bis way to Lowntiesvllle. He came la on a night train and he bad little opportunity to see blr. friends In town. He called at the Press and Banner office and we took charge of blra until about time for him to board a southbound Seabord train for Cal . bono Fa41s; Mi. Baker given a good account, of the Abbeville folk now in Washington. As for himself, be Is all right, and is now Bgurlng on a trip to the Pb'lliplne Islands where be expects to spend a month this Spring, Interviewing all sorts of people. If be goes, he will write to the Press and Banner a correct statement of affairs as be sees them in that far-off part of tbls great country of ours. In thus speaking we do not mean to say in "our pofeaesslons." The Phllllpplne Islands ought, i and by right should be, a part or tbls country. The United Slatee Court, we hope, may declare that the (Jolted States cannot have "possessions." The flag and tbe Constitution should go together, and we hope that the tariff which la IaitIaH tko lalnn/la onH tho romoln. AVIWAVU UVbtTOOU IUO loiauuoauu HIV lOUiUlU der of tbe territory of the United Slates may be abolished. The United States baa as much right to collect a tariff on goods coming to South Carolina as It bas to ooliect a tariff on , goods going to Porto Rico. Bat before Mr. Baker goes to tbe Islands tbe 1 Court will have settled tbe question as to whether the/ arq part of ttyls country or merely "our possessions." i * Pat Tour Contracts la Writing. J Those who rent or lease land should baVe : their rights fully and clearly set forth in a : properly executed Instrument of writing. \ These rent papers printed in blank form can j be bad at the Press and Banner office for a ( nickel each. In reutlng or leasing land i within reach of tbe city, such papers are Important to both parties. Abbeville's Lone*. ] Abbeville has gained much In population i within the last ten yearB, but we cannot bold | k mil mai cuine. ooujt) uuu uccmiuij ur , reason for going away. C^ong the number who baa gone away Is Sprotu He was with ns for years, and doing that time he made a good citizen. He built a nloe bouse on Main Street, and otherwise improved a nloe Held adjoining. But believing that he could make more money elsewhere, be pulled up stakes and went away last week. Our people are the more sorry for Dim to go away, because Mrs. Sprctt loves Jthe plaoe and goes away with regret. But %ur people extend good wishes to them In their new home In Greenwood. We bear tbat Judge Lyon oontemplates moving to Columbia. Mr. W. W. Bradley has bis eye on a good place In the State House, In case he does not secure a good plaoe In town. It Is said that Dr. KUllngswortb Is considering the propriety of going to Columbia. Capt. F. W. R. Nance has gone to LowndesV vllle. V;' ' Card. , To the Editor Press and Banner: An article appeared In the Colombia State yesterday, tbe 81st, ulto.. giving an Account of tbe shooting affair which oocaired here In Abbeville, Saturday night. In this account tbe Columbia State stated that John Daooby was showing trick* with cardB at tbe Miller Hotel and that they were gambling. We, tbe undersigned, being guests at this hotel wish to state tbat this is not so, and to ? our best knowledge and belief there has I never been any gambling in tbe hotel during An* atow thoM VH* OW?J MJWI V? ?

Editor Press and Banner: The kindness and attention shown my good friend William Kyle by the good people of Abbeville and es peel ally by the faithful surgeons who did all In their power to alleviate the sufferings and to save the life of my friend and co-laborer call from me my heartfelt, slnoere thanks. I appreciate greatly the generous, noble help rendered by all and desire to express my gratitude In this way. , Very respectfully, I , R. G. Harper. ' Greenwood's Journalistic Bepresenti Stiff. 7 Mr. A. M. Carpenter, of ..Greenwood, came over 8uo?^v and spenta few hours in the city. Mr. Oar ^ Is a good newspaper man, who Is ambi< ' jo stand at the head of his profession. As a local reporter of stirring events no man Is more thorough, more flair, or more interesting. When we asked about Major White, be said that the Msjor Is a line officer. The schools In Greenwood are In a most satisfactory condition. The Press and Banner can testify that Msjor White was one of the bravest of the Comederate soldiers. v Hew Magistrate. Mr. M. E. Holllngsworth baa received bla Commission as Magistrate lor the oily of Abbeville. He, like Mr. Cox, has bad considerable experience In tbe offloe, and will be like him again. In giving good servioe. Until recently this town for many years 1 bas bad two Magistrates, and we see no reason why the town sbonld not have two now. Wben.aoommnnlty like this bas only one Magistrate, he is either oonfloed very r cloeely, or else the city most in tal? absence ' have no officer of this kind. Abbeville bas needed two for years, and the expense of such a? offioer's salary is not appreciable. It's Auditor Cox Now. - , Mr. R. E. Cox received bis Commission yesterday as Connty Auditor. He has been Intheoffloe for nine years as clerk, and Is ' perfectly familiar with all the details of the < work In the offloe. A more efficient offloer, or a better citizen tban R. E. Cox could not be foand. We know of no man who bas done more favors for the people ot Abbeville | Connty tban be has, and he will continue to serve tbem rusoeptably. His head Is clear andblBbear Is in the right place. ' Leased Land. Except by limitations, the lessee of land bas almost unlimited right during the lease term. It bas been said that a lease, without reservations, gives the lessee, among : - other things, tbe right to grant right or way to railroads, and to sell all tbe timber on tbeolaoe. If you are willing to grant Bucb licenses, all right; but If you want proper limitations Included In tbe lease call at the Press and Banner lor blank form. jSy,-* Talaa or Live.Timber. Tbe live timber that is growing on much ol tbe land In this vicinity Is worth more tban tbe land Itself, and yet the owners allow tbe timber to be oat and banled off wltbont protest. A tenant who can cultivate a patch and denude tbe forest baa a good thing of It, If be can sell tbe wood. A definite understanding ! should be bad as to tbe rights of tbe parties. t Blank forms tbat settle tne question are for t 1 sale at tbe Press and Banner office. I Save Tour Wood.

Will tlie Bulldozing or the BrowbPHtliig; of Country Deletatf* to the General Assembly Lead Them to be Faliie to Their Trust ? ^ As a specimen of tbe manners and methods which bave been adopted by tbe friends of tbe Charleston Exposition, which bears tbe Dame of the State and to wblch Is added a long string of other names which no man can remember, we copy the following : The Xnrrow Minded. The Charleston Sun says : "The Columbia State publishes the text of the memorial which will be presented to the General Assembly of South Carolina at 1U? approaching session by the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition, asking the appropriation of $50,000 for making a State exhibit. The State gives its hearty endorsement to this memorial and urges favorable action upon It by the General Assembly. It says : He must have a narrow mind who would oppo?e a State appropriation for this enterprise because one city-in South Carolina will receive the greater portion of lta Immediate benefits. Charleston, It Is true, should be greatly aided by this exposition. We sincerely hope that she may be. But Charleston is a South Carolina city, a part of South Carolina, contributing to the population and the wealth and the enterprise of the State, and whatever shall aid Charleston must aid South Carolina as well. Even if the exposition were almost exclusively for the advantage of Charleston It would still, for the reasons we have stated, deserve the kindly aid of the State. Hut while the enterprise in its inoeptlon and location 1b of and for Charleston It will be in its representative cnaraoter distinctly a South Carolina undertaking..- It bears the name of South Carolina, it will exhibit the product* and resources of the State, concentrating for the survey of the outalde world all that is most attractive in South Carolina's achievements and opportunities, and in this way It will be In Its ultimate effect of far greater advantage to the rest of the State than to Charleston. "This last statement Is eminently true. The exDosllion will snrelv be of greater bene (It to the State at large than it will be to Charleston. It will fix tbe eyes of tbe country upon tbe resources of South Carolina, and these, tboagb displayed at Charleston, will be sought by developers where tbey lie and tbe sections that contain them will reap the profit. Charleston will gain In ultimate benefit from the exposition only what her own resources attract of capital aod development, [f all tbe natural wealth of the State Is centered at Charleston, this city alone will benefit from the exposition. Is there any one In the Piedmont or In the Pee Dee section ; In tbe middle country or on the coast of South Carolina, who will admit that Charleston alone Is blessed with resources?" Those Who Lnek Sense. The Columbia Record says: ''Concerted action will secure a state appropriation for the Charleston Exposition. All who have sense enough to appreciate the Immense benefits all South Carolina will derive from the sucoesn of tbe exposition should enjperate to secure such an appropriation. It ?n only be obtained by systematic work." Systematic work at what? Tbe systematic ivork or calling names? The admission that "one olty would receive i greater portion of tbe Immense benefits1' of :be Exposition suggests an equitable plan of evylng the assessment for Charleston's big ihow. Charleston Is eminently practicable, is Is shown by the way she has dealt with Abbeville in tbe past, and we feel quite sure ,hatlf Charleston was not to receive the ilon'a share of tbe advantages of tbe proposed appropriation she would certainly be willing <x> take a practical view of tbe matter. Has Charleston ever proposed or voted for in appropriation for any county show ? Han Jharleston ever shown herself friendly to the xwntry people, except in the re-eleotlon of lAOAPnnr MnUDQAnAtrO TH/1 Phuxlna^n n/i* rfv< v?mv* ?? wvuvj t i/tu vumieowu uvv iefeat tbe taking of the Stale censuB (in 1886, ft e believe It was,) tbat she might oontlnae :obold seats in the Hoase of Representatives, x> which she would not be entitled under tbe lew, or proposed census ? It being admitted tbat Charleston, (her i nerohants, her business men and ber hotels) will receive a greater'benefit than tbe coun- , ,ry districts, then let tbe legislature appoint i oommlttee to ascertain how much the different conntles(tbelr merchants, their business men and their hotels), will be beuefltted. [f Charleston, (b4r merchants, ber business men, and ber hotels) should get, say, a thousand times more benefit from the Exposition than Pickens and Oonnee, then make tbe tax levy on tbe property in those counties in proportion to tbe assumed benefits to be derived. Farther, If It should be determined tbat Charleston's big show, (like Atlanta's big ibow,) should greatly Injure counties like Abbeville, (their merobants, business men kud hotels,) by taking from them half tbe trade of a single season, then let a sufficient levy be made on Charleston to re-lmbnrse tbe losses resulting to tbe country dlBtrlots In xmsequence of drawing trade from tbem to tbat city. There is nothing like being fair. Country {UdgeonB need not be bulldozed. or oalled nam PR Tt. Is nnt.nnqlAmoi?w In ?a1I?a AW mmm ?w> tu |/V1 * kV OVU1SII/ to be disrespectful to Inferiors. If tbe Charleston Exposition Is a good thing, Ita advocates ought to be smart enough to make It plain to the average citizen tbat good result* will follow, without calling country people fools In case they do not eee as tbe wise men do. They are endowed with at least a modicum of common sense, and while some of them may be willing to tax their own poverty stricken agricultural constltuenoles for a big ostentatious scheme, in which the benefits are admittedly uneven, yet those who have sense enough to see things as they are, and believe In Justice and Calr play need not be called names. In order to lnduoe them to misappropriate public money, It would be better for penslble men to appeal to tbelr sense, or In oase there Is not a plausible reason, tben appeal to tbelr good nature, or to tbelr gener- ' oslty. Senslbfe men have advantage over fools and narrow minded men, and wise men ought to be smart enough to present the excellencies of their cause In snob a way as to convince simple country fools. Tbose who have little or no sense, may not, unlnstructed, have minds broad enough to vole away tbe money of tbelr conatlfnAnln An a I1 ?ua* vtiWHvwKi VM ca vuiiuvuvai OUUCUIO WUCIO i b IB admitted that the taxes would be eqaal, bat wbere the smaller benefits are to come to tbe oountry. Gudgeons may be bulldozed Into wrong doing, bat it Is wiser to convince tbem or to persuade them. Wise men may convince very simple people, and bulldozers may sometimes succeed, but an apparent effort to appeal to tbe vanlty or tbe reason Is tbe best way to ooatrol fools and narrow minded men. Wise men, realizing tbe lack of wisdom on tbe part of others, do not generally seek to gain tbelr co-operation by calling tbem bard ames. Politicians, who have an object In view, ^eldom seek to gain that object by exhibitions of self-conceit, and rarely adopt tbe metbods of trying to take the conceit out of others. It may be wise and right for delegates to tbe General Assembly to vole away Abbeville's money, so that our trade may be InJared for a year, but we cannot see the Justice of the doable wrong. If the Charleston Exposition Is to benefit Abbeville, we would be glad if the wise gentlemen, who think so, would give us some data. Tbe facts before us show plainly that the Charleston Exposition will not benefit Abbeville. Spending our money and taking away a portion of our business for a year, Is a strange way to benefit us. If we have too much money, and If we would be better off by a temporary reduction of business, please enlighten as. Xladdons' LockIi. E. M.
