jr^ t I The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ^-Published every Wednenday at ?2 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Sept. 18,1901. Twelve 3r*ages. > Sincere Convictions. About as often as The State epeafcs dtsparaglngly of others that paper Iurb in some thing or self-praise because or lis auegea noaesty or sincere convictions. The fact Is, since Its birth, a large proportion or the warp and woof or the editorials or the State has been made of these two things: Seir-pralse and evil things or others. Eliminate such things from the editorial columns or The State, and what would be left? The flies alone could tell. Honesty in the journalism of South Carolina is no rare quality, and It would seem ' strange that any newspaper should claim to be overstocked with this good qoallty. To claim such superiority can be but unfair and unjust to the hundred other editors who are Just as honest. Just as honorable and Just as truthiul as The State. A disinterested public would scarcely award to The State credit for a scintilla more or honesty than they would give toothers. Coarseness and disregard for the rights and feelings of others cannot be mistaken for commendable charaoter.j Honesty and slncerety are good qualities, when directed by a heart that Is prompted by good Intentions. Honesty and sincerity of purpose are most noble qualities, when they ar? ezerolsed In a good cause, but honesty and sincerity, when wrongly directed, or ezerolsed where it Is sought to Btrlkedown another's good name, Is no more honorable and no more praiseworthy than the act of the assassin who strikes down the person or the body of the Individual. We presume that nobody'will deny that the slayer of the President was honest and slnoere In hlB effort to assassinate blm. The honest and sincere effort to kill the President was no more honorable and no more praiseworthy than an eflort to assassinate character. A good name is even more, sacred than human life, and bej that would destroy either deserves the respeot of no high class people. The thief who breaks Into a store Is sincere In his effort to do a dishonest thing. Let another praise thee, and cot thine own lips. Self-praise Is said to be balf-scandal, ; and It mast be a lamentable condition ol affairs wbec an editor feels that It Is necessary lor him to contlonally remind bis readers of his honesty or good qaalltles. The lady doth protest too much. There are perhaps five thousand good women In the city of Columbia, whose good character Is doubted by nobody. Would it not,then, be a little singular If such ladles sbould In season and out of season, In private and In the newspapers, proolalm tbelr purity ? fin ? i , The Death of the President. President William McKlnley was shot by an asscissln on tbe 6tb Instant, while holding a reception in tbe city of Buffalo. Tbe best * medical and surgical attention was given to blm. For several days bis condition gave bone of ultimate recoverv. but on the nlebt of the 12th he had a sinking spell, from wblcb be never rallied. At 2:15 o'clock of the mornlug of tbe 14th Instant be died, six months and eight days since bis Inauguration of bis second term In office. No* ruler was more beloved than William McKlnley. Tbe people of bis own country feel that they have realized a personal loss In - bis deatb, and Christian people In every land - have given evidence of sincere regret at tbe death of so good and so great a man. No man ever possessed in a higher degree tbe confldenoe and tbe goodwill of tbe American people than was accorded to William McKlnley. In bis deatb tbe whole country has met a loss, and this is especially true of tbe South, where be was universally respected. He bad X >- done more to bring peace and harmony to this troubled or harassed section than any ? man who has occupied tbe White House. Greater honors have never been paid to tbe dead tban bave been shown to the dead President. Elsewhere may be foand muob la reference to the death and burial. SSH. Letters Patent. Mr. Phillip H. Bollman. who has had the poeltlon of Master Mechanic In the Abbeville Cotton Mills for several years, has bad Issued % to him a patent on cotton mill bobbins. The Improvement consists of shoulders on the ? bobbin, which prevent the breaking of the w.r. thread before the last of it has been drawn Into the loom, thuB preventing the waste which has heretofore been an Incident In the use of the old style bobbins. Mr. Bollman Is an excellent mechanic, and this Invention will no doubt bring him a handsome return for hla Inventive genius. If Mr. Bollman or some other mechanical genius would Improve the construction of the looms, whereby the frequent breakage and the constant effort to keep them In running order, could be saved a fortune would oome to the inventoV. The constant expense In keeping the looms In good running shape furnishes grounds for the belief that the making of these machines has not yet been reduced to a science. If the Ioouob were what they ought to be, why should they require ten thousand times as much labor to keep them going as is bestowed upon the englve? It would seem that the loom Is, as yet, far from perfection. i ' * The Tmst.| TruBts have been the subject of much abuse for the last few years, and It all may have been deserved, but Abbeville seems to be able to stand the Carolina Chemical Compa ny, which has recently bought the oil mill In this city. The market for seed opened this year at 18 cents. .Last year the market open, ed at about 12 cents. For a long time the cost of ginning and packing cotton has been from 11 to 81.25 per bale, according to weight. We learn that the trust proposes to gin and pack for seventy five cents a bale. Heretofore middle men have generally received a dollar a ton for be jlog seed, but the middle men have been abolished and the seed Is higher. President Roosevelt. Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt has taken the oath of President, and he Is now In the discharge of the duties of that high office. He has declared his Intention to carry out the pollcv outlined by his predecessor. Speaking for this newspaper, we have no fears as to the fulfillment of that promise. President Roosevelt will be true to the best interests of the country, and It is our belief that be will make an acceptable officer. At any rate, we shall, until otherwise convinced. believe that he has no enemlty to the Sontb. 'mm i ^ Religion* Services?Public Meeting. In obedience to the proclamation of the President religious services will be held In our churches tomorrow morning. Previous to the religious servloes, a public meeting of our citizens will be held in the Court Aouse at ten o'clock to pass appropriate resolutions in reference to the death of President McKinley. k ' " V: > / '/.Va.

H EXPLAIN THIS d< tc Dill's Hindoo God, and (be Picture of a Christian Preacher Aloae Escape Injury by Fire. ^ Mr. J. Hayne McDIll of this city la aa C rtbodox Christian of the Associate Re- 81 trmed Presbyterian failb. Last week a In estructive fire damaged everything In bin ore except the Hindoo wooden god and the ct Icture of a distinguished Associate Reform- st i Presbyterian preacher. The latter wat< it UDg upon the walls, while the former was ai ored away In tbe hidden receBsqs of the bi itabllshment. tv We have not seen the picture of tbe learned tr ssoolate Reformed Presbyterian divine, since be night of tbe destructive fire, but re have been Informed that it is still all Ight. We saw with our own eyes the Hindoo lol. It seemed to be in a perfect State of reservation, and looked as serene as did a rlnter's monkeywrench after it had at- ? smpted to pass through tbe printing pres* rhlcb It broke Into pieces. The idol had the ppearance of perfect innocence and exhibiti a total unconsciousness that anything trange had happened. Well, now, can anybody explain why the Icture of a good Christian preacher and a [Indoo Idol alone should escape damage In so T eRtruotive a Are? As far as we are informed, * nly these two articles escaped injury iu a 0 re which ruined everything else io a well A lied storehouse. J)ld tbe fire stand aloof in It ?spect to tbe Christian picture or did the tt Ilndoo idol control the consuming element ? Of course there was nothing supernatural v] bout any of this. The picture being near v ie door, somebody carried It out. Tbe Hln- ? oo idol must have been in the rubbish pile yj t a depth to which tbe fire did not penetrate, 1 m , ol INS0RANCE. 12 IcDUl A Lyon's Company Pay ^ Promptly In Full?P.
