e&rv; *-" X r\ V ' . The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. .WPnbllehed every Wednesday at 82 i vearla advance. Wednesday, Dec. U, 1901. The Proponed New Mill. We do not know If tbe proposed new cottor mill will ever materialize, but from all tb< Information wbloh we bave we are lncllnec to the opinion tbat stock In a small mil averages a higher net profit tban Is reAllzel by stock In large mlllB. If reports are true few of tbe large mills bave made as good t per cent, on tbe capital stock as many of tb< small mills bave made. To set down and figure out tbe matter, all the calculations are In favor of tbe largt mills, but tbe practical results have beer generally on tbe side of tbe Rmall mills. Tbe Press and Banner has faith in cottoi mills. As a role, they pay a fair return foi jj"' , the money invested, and they Invariably heli the community In which tbey are situated And any community, by united effort, car build a yam mill. The Cox mill at Ander son, which was built last year, was so succors ful that Its spindles are being doubled. Tb< same Is true of many other small millB. It is easier to manage a small mill than i large one, and experlenoe with a small mil gives an Insight into the business which If worth much If the time ever oomes to en large. , If a 850,000 yarn mill should be ballt, tb? machinery would be put Into a house wbJct need not be .expensive. Tbe plans coald b< furnished by tbe people who sell tbe macbin ery, and our own] mechanics could be em ployed to pat ap.tbe bouses. As an evidence that suoh a course is practicable it is onl\ neoessary to examine the bulldiDgs wbict are being put up by Mr. Chapman for lb< wood mill. The walls of those buildings art good enough to proteot any maob'lnery tba was ever made. Tbe oost of the building complete will' likely not differ very muol from tbe mere plans for putting up a costlj structure. - ' Wo havA aluAan nKM. lodflnn In thfi hnlld ing of the warehouse by Capt. Lyon. Mr. W. A. Long is patting up a four storj s. " brick bouse on bis ginnery lot. The prlc< which be paid for the plan would not enrlot I' v anybody. An enclosure which will protect men anc machinery from the weather and let in suf Adent light will do for plain, everyday foil in a yarn mill. If land outside the incorporation is bought it can be had at low figures, and political is iv. Bues would never divide or disturb either the operative* or the people of the town. The erection of a yarn mill would in n< way effect the interests of the existing mill ?ealy every town that gets one mill bulldi another. Anderson, Greenville, Spertanbun p .' Gaflney, Newberry and Greenwood bavi more than one mill, and the towns generally grow in proportion to the number of nev mills that are built. If some of our young men would make th< effort,they(oould raise the needed money U \ - . start a yarn mill. ? Storlntr Cotton. As a rale, the Press and Banner believe) that It Is better to sell ootton aa It oomes or the market, but It seems that those who held their ootton (his year will make a handsome profit by so doing. It Is estimated that one man has made $500 by storing his cotton. Bat the mind of this editor Is clear on the subject of storing ootton onder a tree. It li tree the outlay In oash Is nothing when Btored under a tree, bat the Incidental trouble and depreciation of sample Is great Indeed. Un deratree thepotton mast be often turned sc as to absorb the water evenly. If more watei Is taken in on top the sides and tbe bottom may not have an even chanoe to mildew and rot. We all know that a bale of cotton it bought by the poorest sample. A farmer tbeo who has only one side of bis bale injured loses heavily In selling good ootton on ont lde of tbe bale at the same price inai at i:'- mait take /or the Injured side. Another oon lderatlon to be thought of In connection with storing cotton onder a tree Is the dangei pV; _ or tbe risk Irom Are. Bat the better method, If you are going tc bold your cotton la, to pat It In a warehouse, where a small charge covers storage and In' surance. While we are opposed to the babli of storing cotton, yet we are very glad to note tbe (act that those who have stored In tbe Ab bevllle Warehouse, have made money by the % lnorease In the prloeof cotton. They are now a long way ahead. But there Is no telling what win be tbe end. Either sell your cottor or pat it In a warehouse where It will be safe irom damage by tbe weather and loss by fire In some of the papers the statement bar been made that 8enator D. 8. Henderson, o Aiken, was representing the fertilizer trust lr . Us flgbt of tbe South Carolina antl trust law fr- It Is not clear why this statement was made 1 not for tbe purpose of InjurlDg Mr. Header BOD'S caDdiaaoy ior lue uuneu ouiuh wuir as the law firm of which be Is a member de olares to tbe Aiken Journal and Review tbai there Is no truth in tbe report.?Torkvlll* Yeoman. Senator Henderson has escaped most sue cessfully so far. If be gets through the cam palgn with nothlDg worse said of him be wll have reason for self-congratulation. Jus think, neighbor, of the thousand nnjus things, tbat bave been said of MoLaurln wblob have had for their purpose tbe injur: of him In his candidacy for re-election. But why should a trust not be allowed t< employ even the best lawyer in tbe land without that lawyer suffeilng reproach ? Tb< vilest sinner on earth may bave counsel. I Senator Henderson should be employed by i trust, the act would attest tbe ability as wel as tbe Integrity of tbe lawyer. Trust# em piujr UUIJ kuo WVDir 4anjv>?. Tbe great need in tbls State is a newspape which will try to build op, instead labo to pall down, tbe good name of everybody For ten years, It seems to us. the newspaper bave ?ougbt to follow Tillman in effort t< pnll down nearly every man wbo has asplret to beoome useful and respectable. Honor able and praiseworthy motives bave seldon been ascribed to even tbe best men of th< State, when tbey did rot agree with some o tbe newspapers. Be be ever so insignificant i scrub, be Is made much of if be snbordlnatei honest convictions to become the puppet o others. Instead ol looking to able and consclen tlous statesmen as leaders, politicians wb< seek to learn the popular olamor are thrus forward. :>?t l&v The Wedding. | * The marriage or Dr. E. E. Piatt and Mlsi v Nelle Sign took place last Wednesday eve ning, December 4,1901. The Rev. R. H. Jonei >" ^ performed tbe ceremony. A large assembly of cultivated and wel dressed people attended the Interesting cere mony, and all contributed to tbe making o & ; tbe occasion pleasant. Tbe bouse was festooned wltb vine an< flower, leaf and branch, while tbe mystic mis tletoe, with all Its delightful legendB over bung tbe whole. Light and beauty, Joy an< happiness made tbe evening an Ideal one ? "Every thing was pretty and all was fair an( """" thine was rood. Prettier tables wltl ? prettier burdens are seldom seen. The bepp: young people received about a hundred selec Hons of tbe oboloeat articles that were sent b: loving givers. No use looking around, we have every . thing you want for Christmas. Abb. F. 0 and Toy Co. H. W. Lawson, Mgr. to "Fighting the South." Accepting the view of Judge Gary that slavery destroyed the equilibrium between the North and the South, It may be also assumed that the disfranchisement of the negro again ' disturbs tne equinorium id pontics, we may not be suprised if a successful effort Is made to reduce the representation In Congress In proportion as the negroes are excluded from the polls, for effort along tbls line is already being made in tbe House, wltb some degree of evidence tbat the movement may succeed. If tbe reduction of the number of our Congressmen would bring peace between tbe sections, tbls newspaper would not object to tbe proposed scheme. Tbe sobeme seems to be fair and Just. Where all tbe States are placed on the same basis, wben tbe same laws apply alike to all the States, and wben Congressmen are elected under tbe same rules, It seems to us, all cause of sectional hatred will be removed. Tbe South should be placed upon exact equallJy with the North. Except in a matter of sectional legislation. South Carolina would be as well served by i tbree Representatives, as she is now served by seven. The Democratic party is secuoDai id \ Its feeliogs. And It Is sectional Id Its feelings r because of environment. ) Slavery, as Judge Gary truly says, disturbed , tbe equilibrium before tbe war. It Is equally i true, tbat tbe disfranchisement of tbe negro . ban disturbed tbe equltllbrium since tbe war. And in tbe matter of representation, sooner ? or later tbe differences will be equalized. This newspaper believes that a majority of i our Representatives in Congreos are worth I very little, except to Increase the minority ? vote on important questions. i Senatorial ReaiffuatloBn. ' Senator Tillman for some reason Is anxious f to precipitate a vote In reference to the Senators. If Mr. Tillman Is so satisfied tbat Mo Laurln will be defeated, be need not botber - himself. If be has any doubts as to whether ' be will be again elected he can wait for the ) roonlop olAHllnn. It is true, however, that the principle for ' which McLaurlne Stands Is gaining In pnbllc 1 ravor, and we believe that It Is equally true i that Tillman personally is losing in popular 1 favor. Of course this Is mere matter of opln ' Ion. The next election will prove all things and people and Senators oan well afford to * wait the proper time. IfSenator Tillman would devote bis ener' gy and ability to the service of bis people ; more than to the venting of personal spleen 1 against his colleague bis constituents might be better served. I 4^# SfcLanrin Id Washington. His old enemy, Senator Tillman and some ) of bis oolleagues are still persecuting Senator , MoLaurln. Whatever may be bis faults, it is certain j that do man In South Carolina has been more honest or more patriotic than John L. Mc* Laurin. His vote In Coogress was snob vote, i in reference to the ratification of the Paris _ treaty of neace. as many other good men in J this State would have cast bad tbey been , called upon to vote. Time will prove tbe wisdom of tbat vote , even as it bas proved tbe wisdom of tbe , Louisiana purobase. No man with a fair allotment of political sagacity could now be found who would throw away tbe Philippine Islands or continue tbe war with Spain. ? - + Wot What They Deserved. . I For some reason several men In Virginia > concluded to wbip and tar and featber a man . against wbom tbey had a grudge. Tbey went to his house, and tried to Induce him out. ? He shot two of bis assailants dead, and tbe i tblrd one he mortally wounded. Tbe corol ner's Jury rendered a verdict of Justifiable I sbootlng. Sometimes men get wbat tbey de serve. And it seems tbat tbe Virginians were > oftbis class. I > LI^UIS VUI. 1 Tbe EleotrJo Light Company give notice that tbey will abut off tbe Incandescent lights at two o'clock every morning after the 16th Instant. For oar own part, the arrangement Is satisfactorily. We seldom need lights after tbat time, and would prefer to out them off at 1 tbat hour than have tbe price raised. Front what we see In the newspapers, In other towns we think Abbeville has been well ' served. Tbe Company seem to be anxious to ' give good service, and la tbe main tbey are succeeding. Abbeville Is Blessed. While tbe crops In other sections of the State have been dreadfuly cut off by the dronlb, It Is true that the ginneries at Abbe vllle will gin and pack a thousand bales more this season than they ginned last year, and ' we have beard no complaint ,of hard times this year. Tbe Increased crop and tbe higher price has placed our people Id good shape. ' m m ? ! Prompt. [ It seems that the promoters or the Charles, too Ex position are already beginning to ap portion the honors for the success of the show. THE WOOD MILL. i t Walls are Going Up and the Main Building t Will be Finished Within a Week. i The buildings for the Wood Mill are proj grossing finely. General Manager Chapman Is proving himself to be quite a builder of most excellent bouses. The walls rise dally, ) when the sun shines, and they are as substan, Hal and as fine as the severest critic could de , mand. The fact Is, Mr. Chapman has been " biding his light under a bushel, for nobody ' ever dreamed that he was such a builder as be i baa proven hlmRelf to be. When the newcoti ton mill Is built be oould make a good Job for tbat Institution. Tbe piping for the dry kiln has arrived and an soon as Mr. Hammond's term with Messrs. r P. Rosenberg expires be will Immediately begin the work of plumbing. Everybody r knows tbat Mr. Hammond's make up Is com, posed entirely of energy, and a knowledge of tbe way to economise In tbe practical work of building and manufacturing. If Abbeville } bad a dozen men like Cbarlle Hammond tbe 1 old town would grow bo tbat In a year or two , It would be too big for Its breeches. It was men like Messrs. Wyatt Aiken, J. H. McDIll, i J. C. Ellis and Charlie Hammond tbat made b Abbeville build tbe cotton mil). As soon as . other young men, with new blood determine to do bo, we will build another cotton mill. * The more ootton mills we have tbe better It s will be for business men and real estate own. ere. Therefore, we put lu this advertisement: 1 Wanted?Young men to take the lead in raising money to build another cotton mill, j * nnofht On Saturday last, Mrs. Fannie Mahan Smith, daughter Of the late Thomas Mahan of Cokesbury,died at McCormlck. Mrs. Smith waBagood woman, and leaves a sorrowing husband and several oblldren. Her husband ~ Is Capt. Tbornley Smith, a Conductor on the Savannah Valley Railroad, and at one time * conductor on tbe Abbeville Brancb. Mrs. 3 Smith was burled at Hodges Sunday evening. Last Friday afternoon MlssSallle Herndon, , of Cokesbury, died alter a lingering illness. On Saturday, tbe next day, her sister Mrs. * LUlle Calder died at her borne In Coaesbury, f after several months Illness. Both were burled Sunday at old Tabernsole cemetery, two miles below Cokesbury. These two es1 ilmable ladles leave many Borrowing friends . and relatives. Mrs. Calder left six oblldren, and one of * her sons is Mr. Rae Calder, who was one of 1 Capt. L. W. White's popular clerks last year. Tbe other children are Messrs. Holmes Calder . of Anderson, Sam Calder of Greenville, Zack Calder of Linoolnton, N. C., Miss Julia Calder i ofCokesbnry, and Mrs. nernaon uonnor 01 f Chicago. Tbe deceased ladles were daughters of tbe late Col. Z. Herndon, and were noted for * their kindness of heart, charity and benevolenoe.

Then put Id a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. When this gets cool apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This fatal remedy has never fallea in this too often malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until persipiration starts freely from the chest. This simple remedy, says the New England Grocer, was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicions New England has ever known, who has never lost a patient by that disease, and won his own renown by saving persons by simple remedies after the best medical talent had pronounced their cases hopeless. Personally, we know of three persona wtio were saveo by tbis remedy last winter in Boston, after their physicians had given them up to die; and if a record was made of ail similar cases during the last six years, it would fill a good sized volume.?The World's Progress.
