%?" The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^ Published every Wednesday at 5T2 a year In advance. Wednesday, April 17, 1901. .Hen of Wonderful Patience. Last week Mr.W. B. Smith Wbaley, arch), tect and builder, gave a banquet In Columbia, to which a great number of Northern mill men had been invited. Accounts of the meeting, as published, suggest the Idea of a mass meeting of the mutual admiration society. , which entertained its guests by blowing about Columbia's greatness and what Columbia had done with other people's money, without saying to whom tbey were Indebted for the cash. What Columbians and other bome-foiks said filled several columns of small type, while a few lnohes in a single column, em" UfttUtni ail tuat bUC T lOlkVt O Data. From the speeches which were delivered do oDe would lofer that tbe guests, the silent gentlemen, and their friends had done anything, when, aB a matter of fact, It Is fair to presume that they furnished nine-tenths ol tbe money which had doDe the great tblngfof which Colombia bad boasted, and of which they had heard so much. Northern mill men, however, are patient and lndulgentmen, butwedo not understand how they stood to be bored with "Big IV' until two o'clock In tbe morning. They are. however, agreeable men and love to say agreeable things. Wherever they go they always speak pleasant things to people who build mills, and they never fall to And something at a mill of which they can speak In the highest terms. Their reported remarks to people in Colum* biawere of tbe most agreeable kind. What they said to each other, after they got to themselves, has not been reported. Think of business men, who are practloal, and methodical la tbelr ways, being held op for hours, where as fast as one speaker exJ hausted himself, or gave oat, another promptly took his place, and told these, strangers ol our greatness. We know that they appreciated tbe effort on tbe part of tbe Columbians to be agreeable' - - - . .. but If they were not fatigued or weariea who bo muob speaking and self-praise, they were a different set from thoBe which Abbeville tried to entertain. Vehicles were secured, when it was proposed?after the business meeting had adjourned at the mill?to take the visitors driving around the town. They had not gone far, and we had not told them half of the glorious history of the town, when they began to inquire if this was the nearest way to f the depot. As a whole, the great banquest-speaking must have been?from the Northerner's stand polnt-a most ludicrous affair. gr * ' " . Jobn G. Capers. The appointment of John Q. Capers a* , United States District Attorney for Soutb Carolina has caused a stir in the household of those who may feel competent to rule their own faction while dictatlog the course which those whom they oppose must pursue. The expansion of this country is good Democratic doctrine, or has been so regarded for a hundred years. The ratification of the treaty of peace wa* merely the accepting of tbe practical result/or tbe Spanish war. Tbe holding of Cuba was such Democratic doctrine tbat tbe party in 1834 offered Spain |ty 5120,000.000 for tbe Island. Tbe proposition now to allow tbe Island to bave unrestricted freedom would be contrary to tbe welfare of the people of the Island who would be fighting among themselves in a little while. It would little less than treason to this country to leave tbe Island a derelict to fall Into the hands of foreign powers, where fort* might be maintained to tbe menace of this country, and leave the possibility of a bloody war to result In an effort to regain what some people now desire to throw away. Weoontend that tbe true Democracy will maintain tbe Integrity of tbe government, and yield nothing. Tbe Idea tbat Senator McLaurln or anybody else will underke to "organize a respectable . Republican party in South Carolina" Is not to be entertained. Tbe principles which McLaurln has esposed are tbe ortbothox Democratic prlncples, and he will not desert tbe party. He would be powerless If be did so. If be oontlnues, as we bave no doubt he will do, be will control tbe Democratic party Id South Carolina. The Idea tbat be will do what bis enemies wish bim to do is not to be seriously considered. Th? nrlnrfnlnn hflin? Demoer&tla he would .. be foolish to renounoe bis Democratic followlag. As far as we are Informed tbe principles y which be has annoanoed are not offensive to tbe Democrats of this County, but nobody will quit tbe Democratic party to follow him on a wild goose chase. He has more sense tban to snter a trap wblcb his enemies set for him. They Spoke Too Quick.. It may be that some of tbe Ecbos spoke too quick In denouncing MoLaurln. It seems that be has done much lor Charleston's show, wblcb has a big name. Charleston has always said It was a State enterprise. Well, now. If Charleston be under obligation to Mc L,aurln for helping a State enterprise, what about tbe people in other localities? If It is a State enterprise, as Charleston claims it to be, it seems that all Soutb Carolinians owe him a debt of gratitude. At any rate we do not see bow any friend of a State enterprise hoa dAnu mnil t'ftu (jVJ UBVA \JLA iuo uiou nuv una vtvuv wwbv for It Gratitude, we know, is a short lived virtue, but there is a principle, whloh should be as lasting as the bills. We should be true to our lriends. No man can consistently be an enemy to his benefactor. A suggestion to friends of the Charleston Exposition. Don't everlastingly harp on the failure to get the .government appropriation. Go right straight along. Let us hear no more of failure. Let failure stand aside for progress. There are thousands who will help those who help themselves, while few are willing to help those who cry over spilt milk. ? 4 Ntlrrloic up tbe Towu. Our able contemporary, the Newberry Herald and News, is beating tomtoms and calling upon tbe people to unite in an effort to build additional industries. He thinks patrlotlo citizens should rush pell-mell over each other to subscribe to the capital stock of another cotton mill. We do not at all take . issue with our brother ou this matter, but we would, if we could, help him along. There is sufficient capital in Newberry to build another mill, and there is little doubt that such another mill will sooner or later be built in Newberry. When the enterprise is undertaken the people should cooperate, or unite in tbe effort. Every cltlngen will no doubt subscribe as many shares as he is able. When Abbeville built her cotton mill many citizens cheerfully subscribed liberally to tbe capital stock. Very few, If any, persons men thought of the offioes, but later, when there ?& was talk ol building another mill, nearly every body wanted to be president and nearly co body wanted to contribute money to the capital stock. raw *' Wilson" cotton planter, the best planter knowQ, for sale by Amos B.

"Senator McLhuIIii Will be Returned to the Senate Next Year aw His Own Successor." The Keowee Courier, which ranks with pucb excellent newspapers as the Carolina Spartan, the Bamberg Herald, the Yorkvllle Enquirer, the Newberry Observer, the Manning Times and other weekly newspapers of the same kind, has this, among other things, to say of McLaurln: And, by the way, this may not be nn Inopportune time to say tbat when It comes to working for the best interests of his constituents Senator McLaurln will never be found wanting, notwithstanding a great deal of thoughtless and whimsical criticism of his course, recently indulged In by some newspapers and a lew politicians as well, among tbe latter being some who would aspire to the ? ClflnotAriol fncrn ttllfc lOdtch I WCSllUg VI uio our prediction: Senator McLaurin will be re turned to the Senate next year am his own su'cccs tor, and that, too, inside the Democratic party lines, even though some would have it otherwise, cbeltly because they hope to receive political advantage by his decapitation la tbe home ol his friends, lor whose welfare he has been wise enough, and, what Is more rare to find, brave eDough to stand against tremendous odds, thereby Incurring the Ions of great personal popularity for the time being until the light can be turned on. and be can have an opportunity of getting before tbe tribunal of the people ?nd giving tbe reasons for the faith that 1r Id him. And "curly-headed Johnnie" will do it, too, to tbelr satisfaction and approval when the right time comes. Fortunately tor him, and, we fear, unfortunately for our farmers, another crop of cotton will have to be relsed and sold before our next cam pa ion rolls around, and every voter In South Carolina who has a pound of cotton to sell may realize from a sad experience from a sad experience what the loss ot foreign markets means to tbe Southern farmer. It is not, cannot be, a question which affects the cotton manufacturer alone, for unless be can export and sell bis goods, there will soon be a period of coDjestion and stagnation In tbe cotton goods market, and down goes tbe price of cotton. Such a stage we are now beginning to experience. Tbe cotton mills are manufacturing at a loss, and many In both tho North and tbe Houtb are curtailing their pjoduutlon; not as a matter of oholce, but of necessity. Ii does not require any great amount of "book learning" lor a man of common sense to see that tbe mills cannot long stand such a stat<of affairs, and one of two alternatives must soon follow: either the price of cotton must co down or tbe mills must cease to spin. ( Thus will be seen the direct, vital interest of ev >">? nthn ninn/jt a .tend of cotton, in the doc trine of trade expansion as advocated by Senator McLaurin. He 1b consistent In bin reasoning, and there U nothing In It to burst the hoops which unite the few remaining Rtaven of tbe Democratic party. There may be considerable crlDglng, breaking and cracking of dry bones when the grandmas and grandpas come to swing corners, but the dance will go merrily on, the well-meaning old folks will be given a comfortable seat where they can rest as they "take in" the performance and see how deftl.v Jobnole takes the "queue" and waltzes of! with Oriental glee, lDstead of getting the "Boxing" which once upon a time was stored up for blm by a few on this side the flood. But tbe tide ebbs and flows. Watch! Why Give Franchises? There are some things which we do not knovf, and one of tbem is, tbe reason for cities granting exclusive privileges to persons or ' corporations for doing any kind of business. Forinstanoe: Why should a town give exclusive privileges for running street railways, e'ectrlo plants, or water works ? If there Is advantage In preventing competition in those llnea why not give exclusive privilege to lucky persons to ran blacksmith shops, stores, printing offices, law-offices and hotels? If it Is well to limit tbe number of railroads, elec trie plants and water plants, why not issue exclusive privileges to run oil mills, cotton mills and banks. In this we have no pereonal reference or objection to the very worthy gentlemen who own francblses in Abbeville. We are only speaking of tbe prevailing bablt of giving ex oluslve privileges for certain llneB of buslneis, I and allowing other lines of business to meet competition as they may. Would It not be as reasonable to say that a newspaper In any city should not be bothered with competition, or to say that other lines 01 business shall have a monopoly ? If a company desired to build a cotton mill In Abbeville, would that company be granted a monopoly, or would It be forced to aocept competition, If It oome along? A new jeweler Is said to be coming to Abbeville. 11 be has applied for the exoluBl ve right to do business In hlB line we have not heard of It. Having His Own Way. McLaurln seems to be having bis own way In Washington. He bad Chaffee appointed postmaster at Aiken, and J. G. Capers United States District Attorney for South Carolina, both Democrats. This too, in the face of the opposition of the Republican boaeeB from thin State. It issald that Senator Tillman will oppose the confirmation of Capers. The securing of the governmen exhibit for Cbarlesten has been a bitter pill and this fact alone 1b enough to bring down upon him the fiercest opposition. THE SCHMIDT TKEATME.NT Of Parturition Fevers, Partnrieut Apoplexy. or Milk Fever In Cown. The Veterinarian of tbe South Carollua Ex periment station desires to call attention to a new treatment for milk fever, a disease wblcb lakes of bo many of tbe best cows of tbe country every year. Possibly many are familiar wltb it, but tor tbe benefit oftbose wboaie not, tbe following symptoms are given: Milk fever is more common in well-bred, well-fed, beavy milker. It generally comes on daring ibe first two or tbree days after calving, and begins wltb a blgbly nervous condition, durlag wbiob tbe cow seems crazed and shows convulsive symptoms. After the period of excitement (wblch may occur during tbe night) she will appear dull or unconBoious and partly paralyzed. She stands with tbe head against tbe wall, pandles with tbe bind leet and obews as If eating. Later sbe is unable 10 stand, her legs give way and sbe falls to tbe ground, but may rise only to fall again. Wblledownsbe at first lies upon tbe breast, with her head turned round to tbe side, apparently asleep, but as tbe paralysis progresses sbe stretches out on tbe side. Convulsioos sometimes recur at Intervals, and after each fit tbe paralysis beomes more marked. The temperature is at first high, but as sbe becomes more and more paralyzed it goes down below normal. Constipation is marked, milk secretion suspended, and tbe mouth, at first tilled with a ropy saliva, later becomes dry The upper eyelid drops down over tbe sight A large per cent of tbe cows aflected with ibis disease die, and those that recover show marked signs of Its ravages for montes. Home years ago Dr Schmidt began treating milk fever by tbe Injection of a solution of Iodine of potassium into the udder through tbe teats. Tbe instant success of this method led to its adoption In many countries. It has proven very succesful atClemson College. The remedy is quite simple, and can be used by any intelligent person, though a sdeclal apparatus is required for making tbe injection. The Experiment Station has on hand a number of tbeae outfits of a Special make, designed by tbe writer. Any citizen of tbe State who desires to try this remedy can secure an outit, with a snpDiy of medicine and full directions, by sendlug one dollar to ibe Veternarlan. When it has been used and reported tbe result of tbe treatment, tbe outfit may be returned and the dollar will be returned to tbe sender. In ordering the milk fever outfit give name of express office and make money orders payable to the undersigned. Dr. U. E. Nesom, Veternarlan, Clemson College, S. C. Resolution Introduced, Upou Motion of MInm Mary Hemphill, and Adopted by a Rising Vote. Resolved: That the Daughters of the Confederacy profoundly laments the death of Mrs. Jon R. Blake, Jr. On Thursday, March 14,1901, Christ said unto her, "This day sbalt thou be with me in paradise," and in her going a home has been left desolate, and this organization has lost a faithful member. Resolved, Further, that as a body we extend to the aged mother, tbe bereaved iius band and to the boys of tender years, our heartielt sympathy. And as a further mark of respect, be It Resolved, That a page In our minute book be Inscribed to her memory, and a copy of these resolutions be sent to the members of her family. Well Again. Ex-Sheriff H. S. Cason was in town a few days ago, saying that be was in better health than he had been in for fifty years. After suffering with dyspepsia for half a century and trying half a hundred remedies he still suffered until he saw the notice of an advertiser who proposed to send a bottle or bis medicine free. He sent for It and it cured him. Since taking it he has been a well man. He and his people live to a great age, and since being cured of dyspepsia, Mr. Cason may live to see the Judgment day.
