MeLnjirln PHper*.
Within the last few days two or three ofoui
exchanges have published lists of McLaurln
papers, In whioh Tbe Lantern was named,
Such a mistake is not surprising now when 11
is so common for papers that do not endorse
McLaurln to say as mean things as possible
about him. The Newberry Observer has also
been put down as a McLaurln paper, and 11
published a statement only a few days ago to
the effect that it favored tbe measures advo
cated by McLaarln, without expressing any
preferenoe for McLaurln himself. Tbe State
was even put down recently by a contemporary
as a Tillman paper, which called forth
a most admirable editorial?barring a few unnecessary
harsh expressions In the introductory?
Bhowlng how groundless was the suggestion
that it endorsed Senator Tillman.
The simple fact was that it would not abandon
the position wblcb It had consistently held
becaaee Tillman occupied a similar position
on questions under discussion.
The Lantern cannot go so far even as tbe
Newberry Observer. It cannot say that It believes
In MoLaarin's doctrines. It does not
believe In some ol them, but admits tbat they
are debatable. It believes tbat some oi them
are as well founded as those of his oppoDeDts.
It believes that dlssusslon on some or them li
idle, the Issues having passed into settled
polloy. None of these can be taken up just
now, but we are perfectly willing for our position
on all of them to be known.
The talk about McLaurln, In a majority ol
cases, Is purely a personal matter or a re1
spoDse to bosslsm. There Is really no fundamental
democratic doctrine Involved. We
believe tbat the current Issues should come
freely before the people; and about the only
condition that should be Imposed on one'*
entering a primary uhould be a pledge tc
abide by Uh result.
As to McLaurln himself, bis general political
oourse has never commended him to out
favor. We have distinctly stated before tbat
we are not partial to trim and assume no responsibility
lor him In any way. At the
same time we say that there Is no Justification
Tor the unreasoning abuse heaped upon
him?Chester Lantern.
X, >
The Chester Lantern In the above, we think,
proveB that it la very very nearly, If notqoite
it ivicijauria paper.
When a newspaper wants tbeourrent Issues
to oome before the people, it Is lair enough
When that paper, and the people, hear the
x Issues, there need be no anxiety as to tbe
?> result.
We are surprised that newspapers like tbe
Cbesler Lantern and tbe Newberry Observer
should speak of the personality of McLaarln.
The Press and Banner has no Idea that Sena
tor McLaurln la an elder of any ohurob, 01
that he 1b Sunday-sobool teacher, or even a
Sunday-school scholar. We care little about
. i him personally. Our Interest In him lies In
the fact that he la a leader who la able aDd
bold enough to make the effort to bring tbe
Democracy back to tbe moorings lrom whlcb
It was sent adrift by Bryan and Tillman.
If MoLiaurln can make tbe Democratic
party a national party, and not a local Bquad
ol sulkers, he whl be of great benefit to tbe
^ State.
' If he shall be able to inspire the people with
the will and the determination to beaometblngelae
iban kickers at everything, he will
j" . . be a public benefactor.
Tt.tR an nnrlonlphiA font that, t.hft Tillman
Democracy has anneoeegarlly ran roughshod
over a large proportion of the people, and It Is
true that a large number of them will no
' " longer aubmlt without protest.
McLaurln has repeatedly made ajear, dlsi
tlnctand specific declarations of his Democratic
principles. His speeches have been
> statesman like. The faot Is that no man has
sought to show wherein be was wrong. The
Press and Banner doesn't believe that there Is
I a man In the State who can show wherein
McLaurin's principles are not sound Demooracy.
Tillman and MoLaurln are not of the same
balld, physically or mentally. As a stampspeaker,
where somebody is to be "wooled,"
Tillman can beat the world. BuUie Is not a
logical thinker or an analytical speaker. He
? has not, since blB public career?on the stump,
r' or In Congress?made a speech that would
-Ac ,... compare with any of McLaurin's speeches.
He seldom speaks without calling somebody
bad names in some of the stronger or more
modified forms of speeob. The public may
?C say whether his speeches are characterized by
the harshness of bis crltlolsms. As a stump,,
speaker who appeals to the passlono and pre?
i jndlces of the people he has perhaps no equal
in the South. As a reasoner,' as a logical
thinker, as one who anneals to the reason and
' . k the higher sentiment of the people, we have
beard, or read, nQ speeches whlob are more
statesmanlike than those of MoLaurln. The
faot that many Tillman Democrats will not
read Mo:L>aarln's speeches shows that they
fear the power of his eloquence and the force
of his facts.
?' ?
The Press Association.
We wcnld not And fault with the excellent
work which President Aull has done for tbe
State Press Association. He has made a most
^ excellent president, and has labored faithfully
for tbe good of the Association as well as for
tbe welfare of tbe members.
:V'. . Bnt we woald like to make a friendly orltiolsm
or two. For instance, Mr. Anil says:
"Tbe privilege* of this trip are extended
only to tbose members who are In eood stand
log on tbe treasurer'* boons."
Well, now, we tblnk tbla is ratber a harsh
ruling of tbe Association, or Its President.
We are quite snre that the railroads who
really grant tbe privileges do not care whetber
tbe editor Is a member of tbe Association or
not; and they certainly do not caro whetber
an editor has, or bas not, paid his dues to the
Association.
It is, tberefore, the President, or the Association,
who restricts tbe privileges. No
editor would likely be denied a pass if be ap
v - piled for It, resardless of membersblp in the
Association. As matters now stand It appears
tn ni that thn Aaartnlnt.lnn nrnMlrallv IosIm
an assessment on the individual, for which
there is neither necessity or good reason.
Another matter. It is the newspaper that it
represented at the annual meetings. Why
oharge one newspaper $5 initiation fee, and
another $10or 915, while the annual dues are
fromSlto$3? It seems to us that the initiation
fee should be the same ,to all the offices
Whether an editor Is in "good standing," lt
seems to as, should notdepend upon bl6 ability
to pay, or the neglect of the treasurer to
Bend bills. The editor of the Press and Ban'
ner for several years bas not attended any o)
the meetings. We have no recollection oj
reoelvlng any bill for dues until last week
The bill was paid. Now, from the president's
ruling, thlB editor was plaoed In an unenvla,
ble light.
Instead of saying "good standing,'' why nol
ay, the privileges were extended only to snob
members as bad paid their dues ? But we sec
so necessity for any restriction, as to meml'.
/ hers or non-members. Surely the membert
do not wish to seta bar to affiliation wlthany
Wk- brother.
We do not see why one editor may pick up a
"dependent" and take him or her along, while
another is not allowed to take any "depend*
ent."
we unereu oar protest years ugu agamm
tbe use of "dependent" by officers of tht
Association In stating who might be allowed
* to go. "Dependent" being like "good stand.
V lD?>" en Indefinite word, It ocoars to us that it
would have been better to have stated definite
ly whether the chambermaid, tbe cook, or the
butler was meant by tbe word "dependent'
There is nothing like making things olear.
Understand, we have no complaint to make
of anybody. We care nothing at all aboul
tbe matters mentioned, and we do not Intend
to worry onnself or otbers about them. We
are only trying to help good and efflclenl
officers on to perfection.

"Our whilom friend, the Abbeville Press
> and Banner, usually exhibiting good Judgment,
has gone off after strange gods and is
! following the mirage of McLaurlnism into
the desert of "Commercial" Democracy, called
Republicanism in the North. It objects
seriously to the proposition made by this pa:
per last week that the Democratic party In
this State should so amend its practices that
none who are not Democrats can participate
, in party primaries, we are nunc <= i,u?p.?r
was do treason In wliat was said, though the
Press and Manner would have us ho believe,
and we wonder why It Is alarmed, If it Is
Democratic. If It Is Democratic. It will not
be barred; If it is not Democratic, why does
it want anything to do with it? There must
be a reason. What is that reason ? The
party has a right to inquire as to the sincerity
of those who seek its confidence. If not, why
not ? These are pertient questions, and If objection
is made to answering them are not
others Justified in inferring that there is some
' ulterior motive? We think so."?Yorkvllle t
i Yeoman. L
: The Press and Banner has great respect and
\ much goodwill for the Yorkvllle Yeoman.
' For thiB reason we are sorry to see so good a
' paper as the Yeoman so blinded as not to see
I and love Democracy as defined by McLaurin. J
Tillman's Democracy as defined by the Kan,
Baa City platform, and, as far rb we know, it6
principles does not ante-date the advent of
1 Tillmanlsm. g)
The Tillman Democracy has lorn up plank r
after plank of the original platform. v
The leaders In the Tillman movement made ?
"sub-treasury" one of its most important o
planks. ?
Falling to get for the South subsidy through *'
1 the establishment of a snb-treasury, that
, plank has been ripped up and thrown out, "
that. r>nrtv now exDreas holv horror at ^
even the mention of the word subsidy. tl
i Tillman's brand of National Democracy ?j
1 having been defeated twice on the dead and t)
; burled Issue of "sixteen-to-one or bust," that rl
plank will be taken up at the first meeting of
r the party and thrown Into the sorap beap. It
bas been said tbat eighty per cent, of the del- L
egates to the Kansas City Convention was op- P
posea to free silver, but Bryan, by sheer force,
bad It Inserted. o
Bryan's appeal to the poor people of the
United States having brought him deserved
defeat, It Is presumed that Issue will be c'
dropped, and some more worthy effort will be ^
made. w
Bryan's warfare on the wealth and lntelll- ?
gence of the country having relegated
him to the rear, we presume that Is
, the former attempt to array class agalDBt *
, class will be abandoned. w
Bryan's effort to dishonor the Yirmy and b
i navy by throwing away the results of the ?
war with Spain, being met by the almost un- T\
i Iversal disapproval by public sentiment, be f?
i must abandon that part of his Democracy. 11
Bryan's Democracy bavlng twloe met the ?
) disapproval or a large per cent. or tbe real bi
Democrats of the country, and tbe utter de- 1
. feat at tbe polls, tbe party wblob be olalms to 1
represent must go to pieces, If tbe dead Issues
1 of tbe paBtare not unloaded.
i Bryan's plan of arraying poverty against 6
. wealth?tbe pitting of ignorance against In- ?
i telligenoe? must have an end. b
Tbe Democracy as represented by MoLaui
rln is the true Democracy, whose history and
principles can be traced back for a hundred jj
years.
Tillman's Demooracy dates back only to tbe
time wben be came on the scene?and It con- ^
i Blsts mainly of principles which tbls country jy
has repeatedly repudiated. Tillman can see V
this himself, and wben be goes to tbe next ^
National Convention no such foolishness as
the "slzteen-to-one or bust," will go Into the
platform. Every plank of tbe Kansas City
platform will be torn up and a new declaration
of principles will be made.
i In case tbe Democratic party really has any 11
i Intention of striving for a national victory, Jj
the Dartv will seek to Include the McLaurln t
Democracy. Their aid will be necessary to ?
give them at least the hope of success. The y
next Convention, If It Is sensible, will seek to
make a platform upon whloh the people may
unite.

Reducing the Force. ' X
Some weeks ago mechanics went out of the Jj
Seaboard Air Line shops at Abbeville on a tl
strike. Last week General Manager Barr, g
came to the shops and dismissed nearly all Jj
the remaining force. The acts of the strikers iv
and General Manager Barr has reduced the
shop force to a minimum. Of oourse we do ?
not know what may be the outoome of the i<
affair, but our people hope that the road and H
the employees at the shops may come to ^
some understanding whloh may be profitable t
to all. Tbe following telegram was sent 11
from Abbeville: ^
By order of General Manager Barr. of the
Seaboard, about 40 workmen at the shops ,
here were yesterday discharged. The office
or master mecnanlo was abonsbea ana mat
means that Capt. Evans, master mecbanlc,
his chief clerk and bis stenographer, and also
Mr. Keiland, master car builder, will be dlsmissed.
The men discharged are carpeni.erB, u
tinners, blacksmiths, grease wipers, etc. tl
Tbree boiler makers Joined the Btrikers. u
The 13 non-anion men brought here by the
oompary some time ago nave left. Mr. 01
Ernest Stump, who was at one time master II
mecbanlo here, will be general master me- a
cbanlc and will travel from shop to shop inspectlng.
Mr. Stamp was here Thursday and w
Friday and Intimated that everything would w
be all right soon with the machinists. Some D
think that that the machinists will go back
to work. ai
It Is thought that new men will take the be
place of most of those discharged, but some t)
of the Jobs will not be filled as Mr. Barr 1b a
strict economist and will do away with every 81
man possible. These reductions are not to be n
confined to Abbeville shops, but will be gen- a
erally over the entire system.
Mrs. Link Taken to Atlanta.
Her friends, and they lnolude all of Abbeville,
will be sorry to learn that her condition c<
was so critical that her removal to a hosplta- 6
bl e was deemed advisable, and for this reason d
Mr. Link carried her to Atlanta last Monday, p
leaving on the four o'clock train. She has s
been a great sufferer for six months from nervous
affliction, resembling rheumatism. She
is much reduced in flesh and Is dlsnlrlted as V
to tbe result. Bright and sunshiny, she Is
the moBt uselul lady In the city. When good p
words and good works were needed, she was x
1 ever tbe foremost In all kindly offices. a

THE BRIDE.
Mrs. Bryant Is tbe daughter of tbe late
W. A. Lee of tbls city, who was the best
scholar and tbe beet read man In town daring
his day and time. He was graduated
from Krsfclne College, studied law. and was a
member of tbe Abbeville Bar for many years.
For nineteen years he was owner and editor
of thePresHand Banner. His writings were
noted for their clearness of thought, their
purenens of style, and tbe correctness of his
conclnfclonH. He entered the army as an officer
at the breaking out, of the war, and continued
at, the front until the surrender at Appomattox.
Mrs. Mamie Lee Bryant possesses much of
the character hu 1 ram? of the In teller,
toal traits of her distinguished father, who
was kinsman of tbe Immortal R. E.Lee, while
tbe sweetness and tbe eeDtleneosor her mother
Is predominant. Her mother was Miss
Victoria Code, a member of one of the most
wealthy families of the couDty.
Mrp. Bryant Is one of the best educated ladles
In the city. Among other institutions of
learning in whose halls she reflected honor
upon herself and credit upon her city was
that of the Edgewortb Hcbool, Baltlmpre.
THK RECEPTION.
After tbe ceremony an elegant reception
was given at tbe home of tbe bride's mother,
Mrs. W. A. Lee. Tbe bouse was a perfect bow*
or of palms, potted plants aDd cut flowers.
In tbe parlor where tbe bridal pair stood to
receive congratulations everything was white
and green?palms fend ferns were banked
from tbe floor to the mirror over the mantel,
whloh was a mass of white roses. Tbe bridal
couple stood at one corner of tbe room beneath
a magniflcant palm which reached almost
to tbe celling. The dining room was
deoorated in pink, and tbe color scheme was
carried out in every detail. Tbe table was
covered with renalssnce lace over pink satin,
while pink Batln ribbon was drawn from the
celling to tbe foar corners of tbe table and
fastened with large bows. Tbe table was
lighted with silver candalabra, bearing pink
candles with pink shades, and small vases of
pink sweet peas were placed at Intervals over
tbe table.
THE PRESENTS.
A wealth of tbe handsomest and the most
costly presents greeted tbe eye, while their
number and tbelr variety surpassed anything
that, hud aver been seen In the staid Old
city or Abbey 1 lie.
'GOD BLESS THE UNION, AND THE SECOND
SURRENDER OF LEE."
One of the pleasant telegram* which
brought good wishes and congratulations of
distant friends was one whloh a northern
friend of the groom expressed very happily
In the words, "May God bless the union, and
the second surrender of Lee."
Major and Mrs. Bryant left ou the one
o'clock train via tbeSeaboard, and will travel
several weeks In the north before returning to
their home In Atlantlo City.
Throughout this beautiful wedding one
oould leel the love and affection which the
lovable disposition of the bride had drawn
around her. A love whloh found happiness
even In seeing bar leave the home of her
birth and friends of her youth for her far off
home, because It meant more happiness for
her.
