The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ????i ?^ I 4s^-PobllBhed every Wednesday at a year in advance. Wednesday, June 5, 1901. Columbia*!! New Daily. The extract bearing date Charlotte, N. C., June 2, makes the announcement that Co* Jumbla Is to have a new morning dally, which shall represent the progressive Democracy of South Carolina. The intolerant spirit which dominates the State, and the failure of the News and Courier to recognize existing conditions, creates the demand in South Carolina for a new ? paper wbloh% neither a boss nor a Rip Van Winkle, but which shall be alive and awake to the current Issues, while poBcesslng the ability to recognize toe lact mat woen po;iileal or economic questions are before the public there may be honest differences of opinion among gentlemen. The treatment which McLaurin and bis friends bave received at the hands of a portion of the press of the State creates a demand for a paper wbloh shall be fair to tbem, as well as jUBt to otbers. South Carolina needs a newspaper which shall be able to appeal to reason, without resort to the methods of the bully. South Carolina needs a newspaper which baa ability to meet an opponent in honorable debate. Reputable people iu South Carolina desire honorable and manly contest In the forum of reason. They despise the low and the disreputable methods by which facts are perveried, and unfounded insinuations are made to take the place of reason, truth, and common sense. South Carolina needs a newspaper which shall be able to present its views without descending to the practice of casting slurs and Kg . Imputations against the honesty and lntegrlj&%* ty of men who bave put the Palmetto State among the foremost in the Union. South Carolina needs a newspaper wblob sball be able to make just comment on tbe administration at Washington without casting reflections on tbe honesty and integrity ot the Government to which they owe allegiance. South Carolina needs a newspaper which ball be fair to all of Its cltlzenB. They want newspapers which shall not encourage insurr * reotlon and rebellion agalnit tbe Government. ?b ' fri? And It needs Senators who will attend to their own business, without attempting to mallgo or traduce their colleagues. South Carolina has had enough of bosslsm among both tbe newspapers and the poll* tlclans. _ ~ TTOUU UUb&UUW 11 bUC [/IV^UOOU UOTT u?uj 7111 materialize, bat we have no doubt that there Is a demand for a newspaper which shall better and more truly represent public sentiment than does either the News and Courier or The State. The failure of the News and Courier to realize the situation, has made The State a possibility. The Intolerance and the unfairness which characterize The State make a new dally, with broader views and higher standards, a possibility In K' South Carolina. n * College Commencements. The Press and Banner Is in receipt of lnyl: . ' tatlons to the Commencements at Due West, which takes place next week. These Interesting exercises inolude the great literary events ol the year, and from the surrounding oountry Immense multitudes assemble In the classic groves to bear the speeches and to listen to the singing. They come to see the culture and refinement which these literary institutions always draw around them. On these occasions are to be seen more beautiful women than can bo found in any other little town in America. Hungering hearts go there, too, which may possibly be ministered unto by the most adorable divinities tbat inhabit the earth. The little archer is always there wllh his bow and arrow. In the past he delighted In emptying his quiver when he saw susoeptable hearts, and If re porus 06 ifU6, ne uas not quit nis hjibcuibi ui Tun. Wt^en be bad done good execution tbe fairest creature that tbe sun ever shone on has been induced to give an attentive ear to tbe recital of tbe sweetest story ever told. An Intellectual feast will be prepared for those wbo love culture and refinement. Tbe combination of science and morals, tbe Intermingling of beauty and valor give an attractive program. Fancy Setters or Flop>eared Hound*. Some one tells or a multl-mlllionalre wbo gave one hundred dollars to build a cburcb and seven thousand dollars for a fancy setter. ?Associate Reformed Presbyterian. Multi-millionaires are a bad lot generally. They never build churches, endow college*, libraries, hospitals or other charitable Institutions. Tbey usually leave good work of this kind to men wbo are real good Sunday School teachers or pious deacons who haven't tbe time or the ability to make much money, and wbo do not love any kind of a dog except flop-eared hounds whose highest ambition may be to ohase a poor little bob tall rabbit through tbe fields and bushes. Multi-millionaires wbo build Industrial enterprises, and give profitable employment to skilled mechanics and honest laborers, ought to be suppressed anyhow. Millionaires who uwi uuic IU |^u IU urnua auu I?ioc a IUW, and who spend money on fine dogs should be run out of the country. They have no right to enjoy otvll liberty. The Governor's Actlou. The action of Governor McSweeney In declining to accept the notification of the intension of the Senators to resign on the 15th of September, has, as far as we have heard, met universal approval of citizens of all shades of political opinion In this community, and, as far as we are able tojudge, the same approval extends to nearly all parts of the State. Speaking for this newspaper, we are much gratified at the high stand which Governor MoSweeney has taken throughout his administration. He has measured up to all the requirements as well as any man that has held office within our recollection. He has been " impartial and has done his duty. He has not niiut hlsnfttcA ?r? rpwnrd frlpnds nr Irlnrtrnri nor bas used bis official power to punlsb bis enemies. He bag been Independent, and has bad an eye single to tbe beat Interests of tbe people. A. better Governor we never bad. Fanny. ' Tbe News and Courier devotes about a | colum of Its valuable editorial space trying to oonvlnce tbe obtuse Supreme Court of some of Its errors. The Court is a curious sort of a body, and In all probability will refuse to correct its own errors, even wbeo so ably and so clearly sbown, as bas been done by tbe News and Courier. - It Is Bald that if an election were held in Spartanburg tbat McLaurln would be abead in tbat bailiwick. We have beard nothing of Columbia's sentiment, but we should not be surprised If a McLaurln man or two could be found In the olty. We base this opinion upon the published statement that Columbia Is a progressive city. A progressive city must have progressive men. And progressive men are supporters of McLaurln. * - ' ? Bells. All the latest novelties In belts and bell buckles may be seen at tfaddoa's. ffifei.'*. r Eg* /'' ' ; v ? Tlie Strike. In company with Mr. J. H. McDlll the Press and Banner strolled over to the Railroad Shops MoDday evenlDg. Mr. McDlll bad business relations wltb some of the shop people, and we went along thinking that we might learn something of tbe situation. We met Mr. J.H. Evans, the Master Mechanic, and Mr. W. A. Welle, the General Foreman, and Mr. Calloway. These gentlemen were so enthusiastic as to the probable rt" ult of the strike, that we felt sorry that any of tbe shop people should have thrown up their Jobs. Thirteen mechaulcs came from New York and other places Saturdtiy, and went to work Monday morning, being a larger number of mechanics than went out on the strike; but the places of the six apprentices are still vacant. Mr. Jack Kchroeder and Mr. Robt. Hruce were said to have gone back to work at their respective Jobs. Tbe railroad Is caring for tbe uew men, furnishing cooked rations, and giving them places to Bleep Id the railroad houses or cars. New stoves, new beds and other furniture have been bought. Cooks have been hired, and they all stay on the railroad property, without Intermingling with the strikers or other outside people. The pressure against the new men was so powerful that board was refused to them at tbe boarding houses. A eon of Rev. Kershaw, and grandson of Gen. Kershaw, was among those who came, but be left. All the officers of the road that we saw were confident that the road would win out, and we presume the strikers are equally confident that they will carry their point. The officers with whom we talked said nothing unkind of the men who bad quit, and one said tbat until the places were filled, any wbo applied would be given places, but tbat when the places are filled no more would get bark. He said that those wbo bad come to the relief of the road might feel safe in their Jobs. Pie was, however, expecting orders from beadquarters to take back no more of the strikers. It was said that work is being resumed In all tbe shops belonging to tbe Seaboard Air Line, and It was thought that a full force would be at work In all of them In a very short time. When asked if tbe running of tbe trains bad been Interrupted, Mr. Wells and Mr. Evans said that no train had been delayed a minute on account of tbe strike. Since tbe strike extra guards or po licemen, have been placed on tbe grounds, and extra precautions have been taken to examine every engine, and every train going out of the yard. These officers had been appealed to Join tbe strike, bat as they had do grievance, they manifested their loyalty to the road by applying their beat exertions ih behalf of tbe road, not only la trying to secure the needed help, but In taxing their own physical and mental powers to the utmost limit. The officers were entirely loyal to tbe road. "PRIMARY" IN SOOTH CAROLINA. Not a System that Generates "Bosses" of tbe Ward Politics Variety. From Washington Times. Mr. J. Altbeus Johnson, a South Carolinian, resident of tb&Dlstrlct, who Btlll retains his citizenship In tbe Palmetto 3tate, in speaking of tbe political situation in that Commonwealth, said: "Much of tbe outside comment on tbe situation in South Carolina, provoked by the Tlllman-McLanrln episode, Is expressed In a nomenclature that belongs rather to the politics of a State where delegates are to be chosen and manipulated, conventions to be I controlled, and the will ol the majority, as often as not, to be defeated. Sucb terms at> boss,'the machine,' 'political manipulator,' etc.. are hardly to be applied where the people have matters as absolutely in their own bands as In South Carolina. Nominations j for office In that State are not made by conventions or coteries of politicians, but by tbe direct voice of tbe individual voter. "Under the 'primary' system of nomination whlob prevails in tbe State, every office, from a county coroner to tbe Governor of tbe I State, is a free-for-all, everyone who chooses being at liberty to enter tbe race, tbe ooly oondltlon being that tbe person offering as a candidate sballpay tbe entrance lee, varying from S3 to $50, according to the office he enters for, and, In addition, pledges himself to abide tbe result of tbe'primary.' A majority of all tbe votes cast Is necessary to nomination?a plurality not being sufficient?ana It Is not infrequent for a vote to be taken three and even four times before a nomination Is made, tbe rules of tbe 'primary' determlnlug how many of tbe 'hindmost' candidates Btiall be dropped In eacb race. "Under this system of nominating public officers, which places the matter directly In the bands of tbe people, wilbout tbe Intervention of 'bosses,' or middlemen of any kind, a sentiment has grown up which gives no tolerance to'torebeads,'or'bolters.' All candidates entering tbe lists are under pledue to Abide tbe verdict given by tbe voters at tbe 'primary' and tbe man wbo would violate that pledge becomes a political suicide In South Carolina. "A few years ago one of tbe candidates for Governor, failing of nomination in tbe 'primary,' declined to be bound by tbe vote of the primary, and assumed to run in tbe general flection as an independent, simon pure Democrat. He belonged lo one of to? most distinguished families la tbe State, had many times been honored with public office, including a seat upon the Supreme Bench of the State, but when he appealed In the roie of a 'bolter,' bis native county, containing over 4,000 voters, gmve him seven votes ! "This method of nomination Is also used in tbe seleotion of United States Senators in 8outb Carolina. The Legislature of the State would not think of electing a man other than tbe one whom tbe people. In their 'primary' election, bad nominated for tbe office. "Under the system, therelore, which prevails in South Carolina of 6eleotlng pubiio officers, every voter from tbe very Inception of a man's candidacy for public office having a voice directly affectlog the result, there is but little opportunity for tbe successful exercise of tbe malign Influences which are so corrupting to politics in some other places. You have la South Carolina as pure democracy, using tbe word 'democracy' In its etymological sense, as Is possible In our representative Government." ' TTTE nnTTRT. ? Petit Jurors.

Free Silver and Free KIoIn?.KcLnurlii SIhixIh for Dcmocrncy ? Tillman Would Keep the Democratic Party I'mler PopullNtlc Rule. Brooklyn Eagle. The resignations of John L. McLaurln and B. It. Tillman, Senators from South Carolina, are the sensational features ul to-day's political newH. The terra given up by Mr. Mcl.aurln will expire two yearn from now. That relinquished by Mr. Tillman will expire six yearn from now. Custom lu South Carolina leads to the election of Senators two years In advance. Mr. McLaurln was, tuerefore, engaged In a campaign for re-election, Into which Mr! Tillman intruded, with the effect of drawing from Mr. McLaurln the declaration that a man, just re elected, could safely, but hardly decently, oppose a man seeking re-election. Thereupon, each man charged the other with not daring to resign, and both resigned. Of course, each made resignation a method to the people to re-elect him. The appeal In South Carolina is to the party voters at a primary. Whoever is preferred at the primary is elected by the Legislature, The work ot the Legislature is merely perfunctory. The South Carolina method really involves an election of Senators by as many of the people as take part in the primary. In South Carolina only while people vote, the votes of negroes being pratlcally prevented. One can see that this appeal of two Senators previously elected as Democrats, to the people to reelect them, signifies a division within Demo oracy, or two kinds of Democracy, aDd marks the beginning of the end of "solidarity" in the politics ot the Palmetto Slate. The course or each mau In the Senate Illustrated tbls dlvlBlon. Mr. McLaurln voted for the ratification of. the treaty of Paris, for certain bills affeotlng colonial possessions, for certain meuaures of Bubsidy and of internal improvement and for several propositions which entered Into Mr. McKlnley's policy toward the South. Mr. Tillman voted against tbem and at the same time magnified the relations of Populism to Democracy and of Mr. Bryan to both. His favorite charge against Mr. McLaurln is tbat he Is a Republican masquerading as a reorganization Democrat. | Mr. McLaurin's contention is that Mr. Tillman Is a Populist masquerading as a Democrat. Mr. McLsurin stands for what he : regards as to-day and tomorrow In all politics, Democracy especially Included. Mr, Tillman stands for the perpetuation of what has heretofore made him an autocrat In South Carolina and Democracy a loser in the 'nation. Oce can be more grateful that entrance to argument and the beginning of divisions have been assured in South Carolina tban concerned with the merits of the controversy between these men. When division occurs in South Carolina it should extend through tbe wbole South. When Bourbon solids are liquefied there, free silver and free riot solids should dissolve la Northern Democratic nraoniioilnna Tirvnm for mililIn discussion Of ? I public questions everywhere within parlies, an well as between them, should be presented. That Is the gala. The gain Is great. Only Republicans wboare so partisan as to desire Democratic solidity, wblch Is stolidity, which Is stupidity, will regret (be light-giving entrance of this rllvl?lon In Democracy. Democrats of breadth and patriotism, as well as Republicans of progress and liberality, will see reasons for hope In the fact. The largest view or the case Is the on ly one that concerns citizens of all the states. The dramatic personal aspeots of It are Interestlng. They appeal to excitement and to speculation. But tbey are not of strong or long Importance. Not whether McLaurln "beats" Tollman or Tillman "beats" McLaurin mat. ters much beside the fact that Tillman and Tiiltoanlsm, which Is Bryanlsm plus barbarism, is opposed within Democracy in South Carolina, and, therefore, will be opposed within Democracy elsewhere In the South. The immediate personal or political result is Insignificant compared with the surety of a persistent war within Democracy between modernity and Bourbonism. The war baa been made possible by the course of the McKiuley Administration in letting the negro question alone. That is a question wbich has made and Kept the South "solid." It has held in it the threat, liability or possibility of negro control in politics to which white men nowhere submit, for reasons that need not be discussed, simply be cause they must be accepted as Inevitable, unalterable and Immutable. Quite likely, enough of the apprehension of negro contro will remain to give to Tillman a "vlotory" over McLaurln at the outset, but not how the struggle will result this year is the thing. The fact that the struggle will last through as many years as are necessary to secure progress ana freedom in Southern politics is the one to bring hope and Joy. On that account, not the propositions or McLaurln, but nls revolt, may be said to stir the North with Cleanure; not the propositions of Tillman, ut the earnest challenge of hiB long UDChallenged domlnoncy may be regarded as cause . for satisfaction every where. MORGAN ON M'LAURIN. . k What (he Able Alabamian Think* of IIIn Colleniruen.? *JIcLaurln One of the Ableat Men In the Senate"? 1 Nothing Undemocratic In Any IIIn ^ Votes. Washington, May 25) ?Senatorial opinions i 00 a personal controversy between the two men who are members of the upper bouce and wbo have warm friends on both sides of the chamber Is of course, difficult to get; there are few senators in Washington now, and these few read of the resignation of the south Carolinians with much surprise tbls morning. They exprewed the opinion today l ibat they felt that both senators bad made a J grant mistake in falling Into a controversy which would Involve both so deeply. Both Tillman and McLaurln are blamed by sena " tors who are their friends, while nearly all t the members of tbe upper boune are too ex- , perienced In politics not to understand what a man will do lo the beat ol suoh a struggle P as now Is in progress In Soutb Carolina. Still t In their temperate moments, and, as they were today, at their own firesides, they look upon the latest phase of the senatorial tight In that state as belDg almost childish In Its extremes. Senator Morgan said : "Both men are good Democrats. I have no reason so doubt either man, and I consider Senator McLaurin one of the ablest men In tbe senate. He is young, he Is modest, but be Is very able. I oannot think of one Instance where McLaurin has bad bis Democracy challenged. One may vote for or against subsidlers?but all Democrats In tbe * senate vote for a subsidy at one time or another and in one way or another?and still j be a true Democrat. I consider tbe man progressive who laces each and every public question as it comes op and tries to solve It for himself. Yet, we have our stereotyped l Democrats. Tbere Is an opportunity to honor tbe man who, disagreeing with boih the platform and the nominee of his party, does not step over Into tbe ranks of the other b party, but prefers to let tbe Issue pass?lakes <= to seoluslons and waits, but does not desert i1 his party. I tblnk there are many such Democrats in IQ1B oouuiry iuuuj, uuu wo shall not misjudge them. Therefore, do one I can Bay tbat this man Is not a good Democrat { or that man is Dot because he may vote for or > against some bill In the United States senate 1 or In the lower house which may appear to " Involve directly the Democratlo or Republl- * can principles. I voted for the treaty of Paris not because J Mr. Bryan was on hand working for It, bul [ because I thought it my duty; I talked and A argued against the ship subsidy bill because I thought It outrageous and an Imposition, but aB J spoke against it the Cotton Growers' As- 1 soclation of the South passed a resolution fav- ? orlng it. That bIiowb there Is a diversity of * views o( this question in the South as well as ? In the North. I do not tblnk tbat McLaurin's Democracy can be safely challenged. "When I read this morning of tne two senators, I thought it peculiar that two men of experience such as they are should deliberately Invite political suicide, and just to see who will be there first at the resurrection. The outcome may be different than either one _ thinks. While tbey are struggling for the 1 honors tbey lay aside now with such little J thought, others may appear on the scene and seize both plums."?Chicago Record-Herald.
