KKess and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. Abbeville, s. c. Published every Wednesday at 82 a Id advance. BHWy Wednesday,'Jan. 23, 1901. We are Id receipt of an anonymous postal card from Charleston, which Informs us that the Press and Banner Is the only newspaper that Is opposed to the Exposition. We have stated oar position on that subject nearly W every time the big show has bees mentioned r by as, and we will state it again. We are y opposed? 1. To a State appropriation for the Exposition. 2. We are opposed to the bull-dozing or brow-beating methods which some of the friends of that enterprise have adopted. We care very little about whether we are set down as for or Ggainst the Indian Show, hnf. ??<irw nhinot mftfeini? a State approprl atlon for It. when Abbeville coanty's share or v the appropriation is 81,250. In case, however, that the people or this county are to be assessed, we think onr Legislators ought to Issue bonds for the enterprise. Referring again to the Charleston postal card: That card Informs us that the Charleston merchants have had uncollected claims against the people hereabout lor thirty years. People hereabout have surrendered farms, dwelling houses, storehouses and other property In an effort to pay those debts. These same debtors are now living in rented houses, ' or have gone to their graved poor indeed. With a single exception, we oan recall the names of no merohant who dealt with Charleston merchant* who was not sold out of house and home, as far as the law would allow. In cases the Charleston merchant had mortgages and swept everything. Ot course, people ought to pay their debts, but It Is a little singular that Charleston merchants had a monopoly of the selling business. As far as we oan reoall, Mew York, nor any other city, excepting Charleston, has sold out anybody's farm, store house or home. 1 VK7a mfi-' f. vvuvub We agree with the Yorkyille Enquirer Id what that paper says of Mr. August Koho as a newspaper man. No man in the State, or within our knowledge, seems to have a higher conception of his position, and no man is more wide-awake or more Impartial, or more Industrious. Having attended stnotly to hlB , own business In the past, he haB no enemies to punish, and he doeB not abuse his position by boosting anybody. Impartial In his writ~ logs he gives the news fairly and properly without minimizing one thing or magnify, lng another of the same importanoe. When ^ aman reads August Kohn's correspondence to the News and Courier be has the news from Columbia. Ue makes it his business to give the news, wltnout trying to run the Legislature or anything else about the city. He tellB the truth, the whole truth, and nothing else but the truth, as nearly as it is possible for any living man to do. N Increase Oar Pensions. P For th^last several days, Confederate vetiSf'v - erans, and tb>? ^widows of Confederate Veterm ana. bave been/lllng tbeir applications fori pensions. The term# J^pon, which the mere pittance la iiaued appear as to be exceed* lngly bard, and tbe amouVt so small tbat It la hardly worth scuffling for'- One widow, aged 80 years, la unable to come^ before tbe board. We would be glad If our Legislature could see tbelr way clear to make a forger ; appropriation for tbe men wbo risked tljelr all for tbelr country. As far as we ha,ve notloed none but tbe deserving have applied, and we bope tbat each one may receive the-, favorable consideration of tbe pension board. When these men, wbo are now tottering with age, entered the aervloe of their oountry, tbey were young and strong, able to take oare of themselves. But they left home to flgbt tbe battles of tbelr country, and we Y bope that their country may respond to their needs as cheerfully bb tbey answered tbe call of doty. pfeh*:Textile Commission. As we understand, there Is au effort to ?' :. equalise the assessment of cotton mills. There can be no doubt tbat equality or assess1:". / men- is both equitable and desirable. Bat any plan of assessing a mill according to Its cost furnishes nojust criterion for assessment. ?ome tains coei pernaps twice as moon as they should coat. We take It for granted that no mill can be built for less than a fair price, teven by experienced men. Wben lnexper lenced men bullfl mills, or go Into any other % business with whloh they are nnfamlllar, they are certain to make expensive mistakes. ' . We see evidences of the exoesslve coat of cotton mills In every Textile paper?some eoetlng nearly twice as mnch as others. Any Idea that any mill can be built for less p than a fair price Is not to be considered. Then, take the mill whloh cost, the least, divide the oost by the number of spindles, and yon will have the true value of tbe mills, irrespective of their cost. The cost of a mill which has been built by inexperleooed men Is no safe criterion by which cotton mills ought to be assessed, or taxed. fi$v m Public Education. 0 There Is more rot. pure and simple, In connection with tbe public sohools than in anything on tbe face of this eartb. The administration of the school law is a matter of business, and requires practical common sense. An educated man may be deficient In tbe first principles of business, and he may be so educated that he Is out of touoh with tbe unlettered people, for whose benefit the schools are established. Tbe great effort to pat tbe offices of the schools salary into tbe bands of college bred men 1b too near an approach to class legislation, which Is always offensive to the American mlffd. . The people need a rest on the school agitation. vf. ,\1 Child T.abor. There is more common sense In the letter by a mill operative than all tbe talk by old maids and intermeddlers into the affairs of tbe cotton mills. There is no denying tbe fact that tbe cotton mill is a good place for laboring people. If it were not so, tbey would not flock to tbe mills, as they have bee if doing. Bat tbe oountry Is prospering, mills are being built and If something Isn't done to cbeck tbe prosperity, some mlBlaken, but well meaning persons, will be badly out of tbe procession. It Is bad to be born poor; it Is bad to have to work. For these reasons our Legislators and the old maids ought to provtde luxurious living and flne/slolhes for all children. ' The Sickly Looking Han." The News and Courier ooples the story about the man who was born after bis mother was dead and burled la 1875. It Is all very Interesting, and except the date and the "negro," It Is exactly the same story wbloh we heard father tell fifty years ago. If memory It not at ffcnlt, tbe name of Ersklne was concerted with the story then. 8yrnp White Pine and Tar cough syrup never falls to oure a cough. C. A. Mtlford, tbe r druggist.

If tbe Government cannot Bup. press such conduct on the part of tbe cadete, tbe academy ought to be closed. We tyive heard much of "honor" and military pride at that institution, but If tbe conduct of some of tbe oadets would not disgrace a free negro cake walk, then we are mistaken. The Indian Show. If tbe News and Courier would nag the United States Government a little more, it might succeed in defeating tbe proposed Congressional appropriation for tbe Indian Show. Queen Victoria. Queen Vlotoria was lying at the point of deatb at last aocounts. and it is probable that she has breathed her last before now. We will not inflict upon our readers any interesting thoughts or historical facts in reference to England's purest ruler. Indian Appropriation*. We believe the State makes annual appropriations for tbe benefit of tbe Catawba Indians. We shall not be surprised if an opproprlatlon shooid be made this year tor the West Indian whloh Is expected to arrive In Charleston next winter. The Indians are expensive. ???

" Well, I oould go on and tell how pbor widows oome here from the farm and soo>,n get Independent.

Mr. A. H. Earnet, who never worked In a cotton mill until tbls one started, In about < one year, rose to loom fixer, which paid him a good salary. He saved his money and now i he Is merchandising.

So you see If the mills here don't need a man for such a place, there 1b others i that will. We are determined to succeed if i all of our time, energy and bard work will do it. Our object is to show what a man with common sense that can read and write and figure what he wants, can do. X. CHARMING GUEST. Greenwood May Lose One of Her Prettiest Young Ladles.

Coming' aa4 Going:. Lowndesville, 8. C., Jan. 21. 1901. Meesrs. B. Bolln and J. E. Allen went to Anderson, Monday, by tbe dirt road and returned tbat evening. For cause, our Oil Mill shutdown for a short time on Monday. Tuesday morning, Miss Lizzie Nance and Misses Jennie May, and Rutb Dunn left for Florida, where they expect to spend two or three months, visiting klnpeople in the "land of flowers." Mr. J. B. King, of Seneca, has been here for the past week or two, taking pictures. He Is giving satlslaction as to prices and quality of work. MlssJanle McNeel, of MtCarmel, came up Thursday, and haB since been the guest of Mr. K. W. Collier. A new lad. Not a great wblle ago a travelling man was here, who had collected from his young lady acqualntences, a handkerchief from each one. making a grand total of one huDdred and ninety. Miss May Sbumake, of Anderson, came down Friday, to spend sometime with tbe lamlly of her klnfolk, Rev. J. L Daniel. MIsr Leila Bell McCalla, of "Tbe Fork," and Miss Annlo L. Carter, of Ga, came In Friday, and have since been with the family of Mr. T. Baker. As to the planting interests, nothing has as yet been done. In tbe days gone by, much important work along mis line naa Deen uone before this, bat In this fast age, perhaps It is thought best not to be necessary to be in a hurry. The week before last North Western blizzard in its passage across a warmer part of our country, was considerably'toned down, less ened in severity by the time that it reached us, the last or last weak. The North wind chilled our bodies and froze up what was freezable, and gave to us the coldest weather that we have bad this winter. We will perhaps "catch it later on. According to previous arrangement quite a number or young people of near by places came In Friday evening, and togetber with some of our own young people, met that night in Allen's Hall and bad a masquerade party. The costumes were like the fashion in ladle's bate, strictly in accord with each Individual's fancy. The participants in this new departure for our town, give a glowing acoount of it. The mild winter so far, has given to the small grain bowo, a groth and appearance unusual at this date, and It is to be hoped that the future has not in store any ageooy that will lessen the now bright prospects for an ultimate fine yield, as all along that line that oan possibly be made is badly needed. Rev. J. L. Daniel, the new preacher In charge of this work, gave two very instructive and impressive sermonb in the Methodist church yesterday, the one at 11.30 a.m. the other at 7.30, p. m. He baa already made a fine impression upon our people, and nothing is risked in saying that future association will increase the present mutual good feeling between pastor and people, and a prosperous year for the oburch is confidently pred lcted Troupe.
