M/ . ' ?' ' ' } . The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, 8.C. Wednesday, Oct. 30, 1901. The Hampton Hurrah. A stray writer now and then urges Hampton for the Senate, but tbere Is no great or general demand for bis return to Washington. Before tbe election of Tillman be bad B?rved bis day. In 1876 Hampton was tbe noblest Roman of tbem all. He was a wise, conservative and influential leader whom tbe people would have followed to tbe cannon's mouth. ^o man was ever more generally beloved and respected. But after be went to Washington, be was seldom beard from, and seemed to lose bis bold on the people. He seldom or never nnmn omnnj them, and his services at Washington were not of a kind to keep him In the public eye, and, as a consequence, he ceased to hold the exalted position which he held id 1876. It li true, however, that he has friends In every part of the State who would be glad to see him sent back to the Senate. When he held office in the State, and when be was at Washington, he was as true as steel lu his friendships. In power he was faithful to his friends ana relatives. He gave tbem the advantage of official favors which be bad to give. Feeling safe In the affections of his personal friends, he felt no need of trying to placate or cultivate those who were less friendly to him. A man of that character always has steadfast friends, but be cannot hold the unbroken friendship of the whole rtAnnlA. As tbe pendulum swings back, so tbe wave of popularity recedes. Hampton at Washington ceased to wield tbe power whlcb be exerolsed In 1876, and tbere Is no way on eartb for him again to rule this State as be did In former years. Judge Benet. We see by the newspapers that Judge Benet wtll not stand for re-eleotlon to tbe office of Circuit Judge In tbe First District. We have no intimation aa to what plans Jadge Benet may have In view, but no fears need be entertained that he will not light on his feet. He is one of tbe ablest men in tbe Bute, and we have no doubt that be will, In some way, continue to serve bis adopted country with honor. It may be that Senator MoLaurln has recommended blm to tbe President's favorable attention. Tbere is not a man in all tbls Southland that would belter All a cabinet office tban Judge Benet. We assume that Senator MoLanrin will not qtm me ngni, wnion ne oaa oomoiouoou, n? to take an appointment at Washington, but will be In at the finish, although It Is possible that he may go to Washington, In which case Judge Benet will take up the fight. The Judge, we believe, is a progressive Demoorat, who endorses the retention of the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico, and would bold on to Ccba through diplomatlo arts. The obstruction lBts In this State realise that the sands are slipping from beneath their feet, walle they see their bated rival standing on the rooks. The ghost of McLanriDism troubles them in their steep, and in their waking houre it fills all their visions. The obstructionists have been bit so hard amldsblp that tbey have not yet prepared a new speech. That class of politicians, as our people know, live only in the past. They talk only of the glory of the former years. They always dread the future, and never fall to warn the people against progress in any direction. Obstructionists, however, should not rely upon the same old speech that baa been delivered perhaps ten thousand times. When we are told of the greatness of our ancestors, and when the gallantry of the Confederate soldier is eulogized we can stand It very well for fifty or slity times, but when the old story beoomes an every day (diet, we get somewhat fatigued, and wonder what the orators take us for. tireenvllle Kicks. An article which we copy from the Greenville Mountaineer speaks for itself. The Mountaineer thinks that the cause of oomplalnt in Greenville is to be found in the fact that cotton is not properly graded. The Press aud Banner believes tbe cause can be found in what we believe to be a fact, that tbe ootton mills, out of courtesy to each other, will not employ buyers in the territory of another mill. For Instance: At Greer's the market is free and open where buyers for the different mills compete for cotton. This competition assures tbe best, prices. When there is an agreement among tbe ootton mills not to send buyers into tbe territory of anotber mill, and when tbey send buyers to nearby towns tbe little nearby towns will be better markets, than the mill towns. Tbe people of Greenville have begun Investigation. If they pursue these inquiries they will likely find that tbe notton mills of Greenville are paying higher prices at Seneca than they are paying at Greenville. TblB result being In consequence of bargain, trade, deal, or agreement with each other. If the mills of Greenville should organize, so as to cripple the market, we do not see bow the people can help themselves. They may demand classification or anything else, but of wbat avail will it be? There Is no way to compel a cotton mill to pay a higher price than the staple will command In tbe open market, from which competitors absent themselves. The Circus nnil the Bad Boy. Tbe Walter L. Main Clrcas will be in Abbeville next Wednesday morning, and tbe Press and Banner would deliver a short lecture to the bad boys around town. There Is in this town, aB there is in other towns, a number of most excellent young men and young women who, from conscientious scruples, do not attend circus performances; but, as a rule, these same exemplary young people turn out to see tbe procession wbloh passes through tbe streets In tbe morning of tbe show. What we wish to say to bad boys and inconsiderate people generally is, to let tbe aforesaid pious young people have front seats on tbe fences, the piazzas and windows, dur* ing tbe procesBlon. Bad boys and Inconsiderate persons can see tbe whole thing under tbe tent, and for this reason they should not get In lrontof good people who want to see the elephant and other animals go by. Good people have rights wblcb should be respected. especially on show days. Don't stand In front of them and cut off tbelr view. Give good people a little chance. His Mistake. The President of the United States baa incurred the displeasure of the South and a large portion of the North by Inviting tbe negro,* Hooker T. Washington, to dine with him. The President had everything to lose and notblng to gain by his act. But, be appoints good Democrats to office, and lets tbe old line Kepulican office holders go to pot.

Away back In the Hampton days an effort The 1 wae made to encourage manufacturing enter- ^1*t'^ * prises. Laws favorable to cotton mills and Washli Industrial plants were enacted whereby they the Evi were relieved of taxation for ten years. The good work had Just fairly begun when Till- terday inanism swept the country, and alarmists tboroui every where said that Tillman would drive Hgemet capital away, or keep It from coming here, return but the State made greater advancement un> matlne der Tlllmanlsrn than it had made in a bun- pk?dBe* dred years. packed The cotton mills have grown to be so enor- ances I at 1 hft mous the great icloniclast would now destroy his own handiwork. He and some of his fol- ers.aiTt lowers are urging unfriendly legislation to noon h the manufacturing Interests. Inaddltlon.be and bis followers are seemng to invade tne they wi homes of laboring people and say to them The n that their children shall not be employed In p^a^n ootton mills. parting They say that child labor Is not well for feature the W8 their health. Reasoning from such a stand- There a point, what labor Is healthful or deslreable? that an Better abandon all labor. Why Bhould the tented 8D6C1&.1 State Interfere with a poor man In the management ol his own household, while the rich man does as he pleases ? ^ q ~ suits "Anything to Beat Grant." In one of the campaigns the slogan was "anything to beat Grant." He came out victorious, and the same has been true In other races, when all the candidates combined agalnBt another. Tillman fought his 1 flght against the united opposition of all his competitors. McSweeney, despite the fact H?S that every candidate took particular pleasure hiblted In sklnlng him, was an easy winner. Woods. In the races where everybody conceded that Tresp any single man was the man for the others hunting to beat he has come out ol the campaign with flying colors. If the rule holds good next year, and we ' ^e^ge Bee no reason why It should not, McLaurln will bean easy winner. He has a logical or A: analytical mind, as well as fine ability. He g' can, therefore, give the best of reasons for the Ps fatth that Is Id blm. His views being correct A., and the minds of the people being In a recep B't tlve mood, they will learn facts of him, Ec which will sweep away the thousand falsehoods which have been uttered against him Oct. 9 and his politics. The New Collector. The 1e Mr. George R. Koester, editor of the Colum- just out bla Evening Record, has been appointed In- Haddot ternal revenue collector for this State. The The ti office Is a good one, to which a salary of $4, 500 u W(H is attached. The appolnfment of Mr. Koester lladdot was a suprise to everybody, even to Mr. Koes- Dress ter himself. The Republicans who have felt dou'8that they won? entitled to the office are IndlgDant at the Idea of a Democrat getting. Mr. Koester's personal enemies are great. fUn and ly disturbed. But the great mass of the Merc? Democrats of this State are abundantly satis- for lad fled at the actions of the President. colors a The Federal appointments are coming the areBn'ec right way. Good Democrats are getting them nayjc and the lucky winners are now targets for flnl'sbec mean little flings or Insinuations, by unthink- New 1 lug or unscrupulous people. Mr. Koester Is Haddor all right. The ODly objection to him comes from the Republicans who wanted the nlace. and Democrats who are Jealous of his good A fortune. china " ~ cluriii Exposition. s<;ts.
