1 The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. W-Pobllwhed every VVeduesday at 8'-' a year In advance. Wfidnesdav. June 12. 1901. Libel on the Pros* of lite State. The Sumter Watchman and Southron gives utterance to the following: Senator McLaurin Kays that newspaper notoriety is nauseating to him. He must have a fondness for nausea for no public man in the state has gone to greater lengths to secure newspaper notoriety, in season and out of season than this same John Lowndes McLaurln. It is even said that he has laid out much bard cash to retain the services of a certain type of editors, whom he once likened to "dog meat, purchasable at so much a pound." When a man utters charges of venality or corruption on the part of the press of South Carolina we believe be says that which he himself docs not believe. If the South Carolina press has been distinguished for one thing more than auother, it Is for its Incorruptibility. The individual members may be weak; they may have no opinions of their own; they may be willing to echo the sentiments of somebody else; they may be misguided and may see things in ajwroug ilgUL i tuoj mtkj inua wuibuio, kuoj may lack an observance of tbeamenities; they > may have tbe wrong politics, but after more or less association, and more or less acquaintance, with the press of this Slate, for forty years, we have never known a brother editor to sell his prtnclple for money, and we have seldom or never, suspected a brother editor of bartering his editorial conduct In political matters. Of one thing we are certain. There are not a more honest set of men on earth than the editors of Soath Carolina. In this we would not be understood as endorsing or approving much that many of them do. At times some individual editors refuse to preserve their own respect In not respecting others. Some have one fault and some have another, but no man who Is familiar with the conduct of the editors of this State, would charge tbe members of any faction or political faith, with fixing a price on Its editorial conduct. We would not apply epithets to any brother's utterance, but we would suggest that our contemporary, the Sumter Watchman and Southron, reflect a moment belore making such unfounded charges against the brethren. The resort to charges against tbe honesty of the brethren might be characterized by offensive epithets. The newspapers which are supporting McLaurln trus progressive Democracy wbo have borne considerable from r. their antl McLaurln brethren, and as far as we have noticed, such offensive paragraphs have passed unnoticed by them. Men of ability need not be offensive. Those who cannot give a reason for the faith that Ik In them may sometimes be forced to ill-manners, but they need not make Imputations against men who are, to Bay the least, as good as they are. As a rule the old and long established newspapers are not antl-McLaurln men. For instance: What anti-McLaurin paper would claim to be abler, or have a better right to speak for South Carolina, than such papers as? Tbe Bamberg Herald, The Newberry Observer, The Manning Times, Tne Carolina Spartan, Thn Keowee Courier ? : When auti-McLaurln newspapers Invite comparison, tbey may place themselves at a disadvantage before a fair and discriminating public. The Press and Banner would suggest to some of the brethren : Put a little less rudeness and a little more civility In your utterances. Put at least a -scintilla of brains and fact In your editorlals> and avoid the mistake of supposing that the exhibition of temper and the showing of disrespect for your brethren can be passed off for gentility, reason or common sense. The day lor making false charges by newspapers, should end with the passing of the bully in politics. [Wf . m The Dallied. Last week the Newberry Observer made note of the political predilections of the dally newspapers of this State. We hiive misplaced the artlole, but our recollection is, that tbe Observer said that the tireenvllle News and the Charleston Post were the only dallies supporting McLaurln, and that tbe others were opposing him. The Columbia Record, it occurs to us, is favorable to McLaurln. In point of ability, fftirnfiKH nf diaonHBlfin and dpv?lnnmpnf of the perceptlves, tbe Rtcord Is inferior to no paper in South Carolina. Nearly anybody In South Carolina, except editors of newspapers, can see that MoLaurln 1b not without a following which Is respects. ble not only as to numbers, but In tbe person, allty of these numbers. They are certainly tbe equals of those who oppose MoLaurln. The history of the newspapers In South Carolina, as a whole, for the last ten years, with a lew notable exceptions, are the last people on earth to recognize any change of political sentiment.. There are good editors today who aftect not to see tbe strength of McLaurln's following, and claim to believe that the faction which McLaurln represents can be wiped out of existence by so powerless a body as tbe State Executive Committee. There were many newspapers who failed to recognized, or to see, that public opinion In South Carolina supported the dispensary. This, too, after tbe action of the State Convention in 1895. Tbe lack of a proper development of tbe perceptives makes it impossible for many good editors to see or to realize existing conditions. If a ray of light could enter their AA.ll/i Iknt \f?l n.i.ln l,An uioiuo tucj wuiu oco tuft"' iuwuauiiu uao uobind him a mighty force, which is increasing as be presents his views to the public. Tbe awakening to a proper sense of existing sentiment need not affect a man's principle, but it should enable blm to make an intelligent estimate of coming events. He could then fight it more forcibly with his eyes open, than he could by blindfolding himself, and then attempting to lead people who have open eyes. The Valne of the Pea Crop. Nearly all the newspapers are urging the planting of peas, and all tell of their great value as a crop and as a land renovator. Two years ago the editor of the Press and Banner had absorbed from tbe printer-planters considerable enthusiasm on tbe subject of planting peas. None of tbe standard cow peas could be had, but we bought all tbe "Unknown Pea" that was for sale in town, and, if our memory is not at fault, we bought two bushels of tbe same kind from our thrifty neignoor Mr. i. a. Keller. The pea seea went Into the ground all right. Vlues came up in due time. Tbey grew off all right. A few peas appeared ou the vines. We waited anxiously lor them to ripen. It seemed, though, as if they were waiting for frost. All of a sudden the leaves fell off, exposing the 6tems, .< and a few quarts of seed where we bad planted bushels. We gathered nothing from land where we bad planted 86 worth of pea seed. We discovered no perceptible improvement In the land, and onr enthusiasm for the pea crop is down to zero. Others may piant peas from tbls time fortb. I' ?? Nice lote of fresh Canvassed Hams, I'icnic Hum? and breakfast Bacon Just In. Amos 11. Morse. I fc Jmi ' ... Mi&mk ? Not Tillumn'M Enemy. Abbeville has always been a strong Reform county, and the Press and Banner has In recent years staunchly supported the dispensary law, and Tillman cannot class Editor Wilson amoDt; bis enemies. He says In the last Issue of his paper: "The action of Governor McSweeney in declining to accept the notification of the Intention of the senators to resign on the 15th ol September has. so 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 to Judge, the same approval extends to nearly all parts ol the state." And yet Tillman tries to make the public believe only his enemies wanted the resignations returned. Columbia Record. The Columbia Evening Record Is perfectly correct when It asserts that the Press and Han> ner is uoenemy of.SenatorTillman. We have supported him In much that he has done. For his eflortB and success in placing an em bergo on me saieor nquor in mm h*w, mo people owe him a debt of gratitude which t.h 1h state will never be able to pay. 111 lliat act we shall always believe that he lias beeu South Carolina's greatest beuefactor. His work for Cleinson College and his inltuence for VVlnthrop College are monuments to him aud a benefit to young men and young women In all parts of the State. For these reasons we have voted for him. For these considerations we upheld him when it was not to our interest to do so. and we voted for him last year, when he wrb so independent. But for all that we, do not endorse bis wrongful act In attempting to boss this Slate In the matter of electing a United States Senator. In that act he Is certainly superservlce able. Years ago we opposed Hampton's Interference In the election of Senator Tillman' and we are not less opposed to Tillman's Interference in the present Senatorial contest. It is positively not Tillman's business to choose United States Senators for South Carolina. He has been elected to serve us in Washington, and not to boss us at home. Only one vote In the Senate has been confided to blm. He has no right to two votes, and has do right to name tbe other .Senator. McLhuHu'm Xewberry Specoh. Senator McLaurin's speech at Newberry, from first to last, was the best speech that he bas made. Tbe speech was an able one, and entirely free from personalities. It could give offence to no one, and the force of his argument cannot be met. Whenever he speaks be will correct tbe misrepresentations which have gone abroad and he win converts to tbe principles which make tbe true Democracy. If tbe Senator would permit a suggestion, we would say that future speeches should be as was the Newberry speech?Impersonal. As a matter of privilege, however, he might reply In a general way to tbe general charge ol bis having voted with tbe Republicans, by stating on which questions he voted wilb them. A search warrant would fall to tind many who oppose tbe ratification of tbe treaty ol peace. Subsidy being a universal habit ? neither Republican or Democratic ?would not give offence to anybody. By pursuing this course tbe senior Senatoi will have neither excuse nor pretext for Intermeddling. But If he should do so, tbe act would redound to tbe benefit of tbe junior Senator. The Warehouse Couopnny. At a meeting yesterday of tbe Directors ol the Abbeville Warehouse Company they resolved to proceed with tbe building of an additional warehouse on their lot. The fourth Instalment of tbe subscribed capital stock will be called for at once, and the tilth instalment will be asked for In August 01 September. The warehouse is filling a place in the buslness of Abbeville, and the demand for space at this season of the year far exceeds the an tlclpated demand. Tbe company expects tc come up to the requirements, and with at good a man as Captain John Lyon in charge tbo public will be faithfully and acceptably served. The company did a good thing lot Abbeville in the construction of their warehcuBe, which Is one of the most substantial buildings in the city. t'libn. We regret to see that the news from Hava nu indicate that tbe Cuban Convention will accept the conditions of the Piatt resolutions, whereby the relations between the Island and this country are defined. Speaking for the Press and Banner we doubt tbe desirability oa our part of the acceptance by the Cubans of the Piatt resolu innc Tf tho Pnhonfi shnnld rAfiiKP In Rfll. Of postpone action, until the meeting of Congress in December, no doubt a better and more satisfactory adjustment could be had for the United States. The United Ktates has acted with extreme liberality, and if the Cubans could be blind enough to refuse the offer the United States would be warranted In making terms which would be better for this country as well as Cuba. HcNweeney'N Popular Art. The last letter which Governor McSweeney addressed to Senator Tillman has pleased everybody. One man said that he wanted to take McSweeney by the band. Another baked the Presa and Banner if he knew who was the greatest man in South Carolina? Waiting for the questioner to answer his own question, be said: "McSweeney. He is the biggest man in South Carolina today. That letter of Itself ought to elect him." The fact is, that we do not recollect of an Instance where any letter gave the public as much genuine pleasure as that of Governor McSweeney In reply to Tillman's letter. FhnUIou Plates. The Delineator, published by the Butterlck Publishing Co., In Paris, London, New York and Toronto, for July Is to hand. The price Is 15 oents for a single copy, or 81 for a year. It Is a marvel of beauty in many respects. The prettiest fashion plates for every article of dress worn by child, maiden, bride, or matron may be seen in each number. The printing is superb and the color work Is In the highest style of the art. The wonder tc us is, that so much can be had for a dollar a year and the surprising fact is, that any lady in this land could be wllhoul it. IUMIllt. Governor McSweeney seems to have offered Senator Tillman a mortal Insult when he de clared that be alone was responsible for hit reply, and that he would give account for tht course he had taken to the people who had honored him, and not to any Individual. The Idea that the Governor would accounl to the people and not to the senior Senator it a mortal offense. The idea that the Governoi should not recognize the authority of th( senior Senator in Tillman's Land Is mon Btrous. Whither are we drifting, anyhow. Hndrion'h I.ochIn.

"Flagpoles," said a man who make them, "are tbe pick of the forest wheuc - they come. Up to CO feet in length, am this would include the great majority they are commonly of spruce; flagpole more than GO feet long are of pine. "The spruce poles come from Xe\ Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The pin 1 ? Vatt? Vrtflf ori. poies come nuui uui iwi n m ? .... Michigan. "Up to 50 feet in length and a 50 foo staff would be counted a good, big stafl i Flajipoles cost, all set up, truck on th top and halyards rove, ready to bend 01 the ttajr, from $1 to $1.25 a foot. Th cost depends somewhat on the pole am somewhat on the situation, the latte , question involving the difficulties attend ing setting the pole up. Longer pole i cost proportionately more. A 75 foo i pole might cost, set up ready for use $150. Flagpoles for buildings are some times made up to 80 feet in length, bu not often. "A 50 foot pole of the usual propoi tions, which would he 10 inches in di ameter at the butt and 4 inches at th , top, would weigh about 850 pounds. 1 75 foot pole would weigh about l.&tf i pounds, so that when you put up a pol , of that size you would be standing upoi one end a weight of three-quarters of i ton. "Of course the flagpole must be secure ly set up. There are two ways of niounl ing a flagpole. Ono is to step it, runnin the lower end of the pole through th roof as you would run a mast through th deck of a boat. The other way is to 6 the butt of the pole in a shoe .placed o the roof. The very tallest poles are ai ways stepped through the roof. "A good flagpole, properly put up an properly carsd for, is long lived. It mlgh wear as long as the building on which i was placed. A flagpole really ought to b painted every year. Flagpole painting i done by the riggers employed by flagpol makers, by steeple climbers, by men wh make a business of it, who go about seel Ing flagpoles t6 paint. To have a flat pole carefully and properly painted costf according to the size of the pole, $5 t $10. "Flagpoles are made nowadays rathe longer, if anything, than formerly. Thei greater length is to make them mor nearly proportionate to the higher builc ings. "There are now sold more flagstaff than ever before in .proportion to the poi ulation. The law requiring the flying c the flag from school houses has increase the actual number of poles, and the pies ence of those poles and the flying of th flag from them has prompted the raisin of other poles. I think also that peopl are more likely now to put up flagpole than they formerly were; anyway, tha they have more disposition now than eve to show their colors."?New York Sun. ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS' WORK. Figures of an Old Man Who One Climbed Weary Stalra. Recently an old man stood in the coi ridor of a big office building, with watc in hand, making figures from time t time on the back of an envelope. Ther were many who wondered what he wa 1 doing. I He was computing how much time th modern elevators in our high building esnTTo tn mon in n rlnv. and to OnG wll 6poke to him he told how for yean away back in the sixties, he had worke i in the sixth story of a building whic was then one of the highest in the cit ? or the country either, for that matter ? how, though young and spry then, h ! had dreaded that climb up six sheer stai flights; how the men in the place woul draw lots to see who at luncheon tim should make the journey to the street t I buy cakes and pie for the noonday mea and how he had at times gone withou his luncheon rather than use up so muc strength in climbing the stairs. It too a minute and a half then for a youn man to go up, he said, but the manage of the factory, who was more than 5 years old and somewhat rheumatic, a 1 ways spent four minutes in the upvrar struggle. "I was just figuring on the time save ! by this modern appliance," the old ma continued, "and I calculate that it is n least four minutes for every young ma who goes to the twenty-fifth floor and te minutes for your 'elderly gentlemen These express elevators, stopping onl above the thirteenth floor, average 4 seconds in reaching the top. Of cours we wouldn't have 20 or 30 story Btru< tures if the modern elevator manufa* turers had not kept pace with the arch tects and builders, but I am arguing froi the other side." And he showed an ai ray of figures to prove that in a day' average business, in which 2,500 passei gers are carried, two whole workin days are gained. His young friend di not dispute him. It is in New York, of course, with it score of buildings that aro 14 storie high and over, that the elevator ha reached its greatest development. In th matter of speed the makers have vie with one another until 800 feet a minul is the rate at which the cars can be pr< pelled. This means to the twentiet floor of a building in 30 seconds, a veloc ty that is gained by a multiplication ( gear wheels over which the car cabh run.?New York Post. Why He Wai Saccensfal. The fact that success is mainly due hard work has been expressed in man different ways, but one of the best wt that recently employed by a very sacees ' ful commercial traveler. He was talkie with a companion, a rather lazy fello\ when the latter exclaimed: ! "I declare, Jack, I can't understac why you always succeed In selling i 1 many more goods than I do!" "I'll tell you why it is," replied Jac! ' "But," he added, "it's a trade secret, as 1 you mustn't tell it to everybody." "Of course I wouldn't do such a thing, was the answer. "Well, then," said Jack impressive! "I succeed because when I'm doing bus ness I wear out the soles of my shot I more than the seat of my trousers."
