y . The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. c WPabllBhed every NVednesdp at. 82 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Aug. 5, 1903. A ? E Branch Water. We bave beard the suggeslon at various times that Abbeville may be compelled to J hare more water than the well now supplies. <? ? ' This newspaper Is unalterably opposed to drinking branch water. If more water Is needed the well from which we now get water should be dug deeper. 11 we are not In error all the water that we now get was found at a depth or about one nundred feet. In the effort to find more water, the well was dug to a lltlle over Ave hundred feet. Bat, ?h far as we know, no water was found after the first flow at abont one hundred feet. The additional four hundred feet added nothing to the flow of the water. We presume there Is little doubt that more water would be if we had bored through the roc*. Greenville Is having trouble about branch , water, a trouble which those want branch water at Abbeville, are courting. The head waters of onr well branoh rise at or about the shops. That stream drains the land upon which the village around the shops 1b located. We need not go into particulars. Ths following affidavit, with a change of . names, would fit Abbeville as well as Greenville, If we attempt to drink branch water: Among tbe affidavits presented by Mr. Batson's attorneys were depositions from E. Bruce Lipscomb, W.A. Hudson and William P. Tate. Mr. Lipscomb's deposition reads : Personally comes E. Bruce Lipscomb, who upon oath says that he is a citizen of said nnnnlv ind Hlaln that h? la pnr>ncpf1 in ihn dairy and truck business Dear Greenville city. That on July 31st, 1903, deponent visit ed the premises of plaintltf company, and defendant Eugene BaUon, and saw the hog lota referred to In plaintiff's complaint, on the land of aald Eugene Batson, and the upper and smaller had no hogs In same, and was dry and clean. The lower and larger had three hogs and several small pigs, and contains nearly an aorela land. That there was no stench, co loblolly such as usually ac companies the close confinement of hogs, and the water below said lots on said small stream trlbutaty to Mountain creek was clear, clean and pure looking That deponent also saw a bog lot of about two acres near the residence of said Batson, In whloh are several bogs, and a spring near on one aide, the water from whloh runs a few leet throogh the lot and then out Into Mountain oreek, about a hundred yards away. That at this place was a worse loblolly and inire than at the two lots above referred to. That the stables and cow sheds of said Batson are drained dlreotly Into aald stream and thence into Mountaen oreek. above said reservoir No. 2. That, In the oplnlop of deponent, this souroe, the last aid lot and stables, are a worse souroe of danger than the two hog lots referred to. That In the dairy business li Is almost necessary to keep and raise bogs In order to make the bUBlnesa profitable because by tblt. meaDB the waste and otherwise unprofitable offal of the dairy produots are consumed pro fltably. That deponent also about three ^ months ago visited reservoir No. 2, and saw then several cows on the land ol the plaintiff oompan>, Just above said reservoir, and wading about In the mud and water backed up (from said reservoir No. 2 That reservoir No.2 drains a large area of hillside land adjoining, which Is cultivated, and from several places on which people reside, with barn, yard, orchard and other usual appurtenanoes, and at the plaoe occupied by one P. G. Roberts, and belonging to plaintiff company, within a hundred yards of the water edge of reservoir No. 2,JuBton the hillside above same deponent aw a privy, a stable and a cow sbed, and saw a cow grazing within a few feet of the water _ In reservoir No. 2. That the only protection ft against the drainage of surfaoe water from said premises seen by deponent was a small If berme dltoh a few Inches deep, and at places i tilled up with leaves and trash and evidence* were seen where same had overflowed at some rain, and the same Is wholly Inadequate to aarrv a fractional nart of thn wnt.nr that, cnl lecta at this place and seeks outlet Into the pood below. That the water in said reservoir Is muddy and Impure looking, and, In ibe oplDlon of deponent tne said muddy and impure condition arises and comes from tbe K great amount of surface water that ruus into same from the hillsides of cultivateable land for from a quarter to a hall mile from same. That deponent saw an old road leading way back upon the hill which drains a vast amount of mud into the upper part of said reservoir, and deponent saw where, in several places, tbe mud has been washed into Raid reservoir from tbe hillsides, and is filling ud said pond on the edge, andtbis renders same Impure and muddy, and tbere are no more conspicuous evidences of care about said reservoir No. 2 tban if the water of same were tobeused In turning a water wheel, instead of being designed to be UBed for drinking purposes. E. B. Lipcomb. Sworn to andFnbscrlbed before me August 4 1st 1903, J. J. McSwain (Seal.) Not. Pub. S. C' Let F* Keep Oar Yoaujr Men at Home. From tbe days of our earliest recollection men have been at times moving away from , Abbeville County. Before the war the pre , sence of slavery was at the bottom of the adjoining lands of the small landowner. He mail then move on. There few obanoes for him to bay a home here. The result was that the western States were largely settled , by Booth Carolinians. The slave-owner enoouraged the removal of the "white trash" and the "poor buckra" dreamed of better lands In the West. Daring the years from 1868 to 1876 a spirit of nnreBt was generated, and the disposition to ( leave the State was so pronounced that the wise men of the common wealth saw danger, and set themselves to correct the evil. It was finally agreed that if we encouraged the manufacturing industries that the emlgatlon of our people would stop. They would prefer profitable employment at home, and would stay here If the opportment to work was offered. I VMI uo|ioiaiA/ia, iu uiuoi IU cu^uuia^o tuo building of cotton mills, paused an act refunding all raxes for ten years. To this faot may be attributed tbe great lnpetus along that line. Tbe cotton mills in Soutb Carolina now give employment to many thousand good people who would, except for tbe mills, be citizens of otber States. Right bere in Abbeville there is a spirit of 1 unrest among our young men because of a 1 lack of profitable employment. We are told tbat many applicants for work at tbe furniture factory are turned away becausb tbe factory is full ol help. We are also Informed i tbat some young men have zone to a factory ! In Indiana, and tbat others contemplate going. The strength and the wealth ol a oommunlty Is in Its men, Abbeville should not allow her men go away because of a lack of work. Let as build another factory, and give profitable employ to others and keep them at home. Strange. On April 14, we wrote a letter to Mr. C. W. Blrchmore, Camden, 8. C. On the left hand corner of the envelope was printed these words: "After 5 days return to the Press and Banner, Abbeville, S. C." On July 28,? Just two months and fourteen days after sending it,?the letter was received at this office marked ''Returned to writer," with a big fist pointing to Instructions. On tbe opposite side, or tbe back of tbe envelope, "an claimed." What we would like loknow Is, why was the letter not delivered ? Mr. Blrcbmore Is editor of the Wateree Messenger. He Is also treasurer or olerk of the School board of the township In which he lives. He is a man possessing property, and a man of affairs in the eity. Does he not call for hie mail, or is he unknown to the postmaster? Why did the postmaster ws,lt for two months Instead of five days to roturn the letter ? We do not understand, why letters should not be delivered to Mr. Blrchmore, and we do not understand why his letters are "unclaimed." If you want anything cheap try the liee Hive. Tilt' c'liiMlcl mid Free Ariuertl mIiikIt does not seem fair to us for the state to establish a whole lot of free schools fo-> high er education, such as Soutb Carolina college and the Citadel academy, and then pay men to go ovar the state and solicit students. It Is unfair competition with- private and denominational colleges.?Newberry Observer. There Is also a very decided disposition among these liberally supported slate inotitntinnu in om?(>t fh? n p w* n? nprs to advertise them, directly and indirectly, for little or no pay. This Is another Injustice to the colleges supported without state aid, which we have never known to ak for free advertising.?Chester Lantern. And most ot the papers give the free advertising Just as it Is asked. And it costs the State a pretty good sum per capita to furnish this higher education aud tbe young man just as much as it would cost him to go to any other college In the State while we are paying the small Rura of $3.00 per capita to give to the thousauds of boys and girls unable to go to colleue the common school education furbished by the free public schools. The constitution says we "shall" support the public schools and we "may" support the colleges.?Newberry Herald and News. We thoroughly agree with the Lantern on thesutiject of tree advertising; and we take no Issue with the position of the Newberry fl*" onH Voim. nffV.ru UUBCi VCI. luouvioiw ?uu i^wnn vwv.u ivvH for thought. During Col. Thomas's recent vl?slt to this Held he handed us eleven-inch prooi of matter pertaining to the Citadel, which he would like to see in the Press and Banner. Desiring not to appear disobliging we excused our self on the ground that it was only a short time until the paper would go to press. From our standpoint there is little need to support what Tillman facitiously called the "dude factory." The reasons which prompted our forefathers In establishing that college no longer exists. When that college was organized the ruling spirits of this commonwealth were Imbued with the idea that at the will of the people it might become an independent republio. In that event soldiers would be needed, and our Citadel was copied after the national military academies. The competitive examination was, nnder suah circumstances, the proper method. It was Intended, not aB a charitable Institution, but as an Institution to make military officers. While the method of giving scholarships were not reduced to writing, yet the history of the past throws only a very thin veil over the real plan. That is to say: The Institution was to be an aristocratic lnatltatlon, wuerc IUV BUUB UI uuiuiiuuaic gcuuoiucu might be educated free of cost to themselves. But with the advent of Tlllmanlsm came the passing of the old rule. IMebeians walked right Into the sacred preclnots as soon a6 Tlllmanlsm became a power. If the Charleston Citadel would act fair with the denominational colleges, tben It should do as they do, pay for their advertU lng, and not employ a popular gentleman like Col. Thornae, who may be expected to secure free of charge, on his own, account, matter about the State institution which no denominational has ever had the cheek to ask, without oSerlng to pay. N ot wishing to be disagreeable to Col Thomas, we said nothing of this matter while he was among our people. If we were to give advise, we would suggest that boys be sent to some ol the vailous colleges wblch do not seek free advertising, and where equally good educational advantages may be bad for about half the money that it costs to send a boy to the Charleston Citadel. That institution is 80 Intensely Charleston that it gives what little advertising the law compels it to do, to nn asrent in the cltv so that the aeent mav get his commission and reduce the advertisiDg to the lowest figure. The Citadel Is a Charleston Institution, which Is supported by the State treasury, and to which citizens in ev?ry part of the Slate are iuvlted to send paystudentB at a very high CMt. Abbeville a* a Manafactarinjc Centre. Owing to our modesty, we have made no blowing horn of the fact that Abbeville is one of the most important manufacturing centres in this part of the up-country. Draw a circle within, say sixty miles, around the city, and we have more spindles tban can be found In a town similar size in the Southern States. Starling at Athens, and going around the circle, we would include the various ootton mills and paper mills, In Athens, Elberton, Washington, McUormlck, Edgefield, Newberry, Clinton, Laurens, Greenwood, Ware'aShoals, Anderson,Belton, Houea Path, NVllllamston, Greenville, Spat* lanburgaud Union. Thin sxf /ismivoa la r? f/v. ? IUIO ui cuuioo io a ^ituuu ICUUIU IUI au arci* age city, but Abbeville, coueclous of her advantages, inakes no bo&ft of being tbe centre of so much more than half of tbe spindles in South Carolina. We merely refer to our pre-lmmence aB a manufacturing centre. We would not Incur the displeasure of our struggling neighbors by any boasting on our own part. They have done well and we would give each and all of them due credit for the noble assistance which they have given us In building up the industrial enterprises, and develDplng the resources of the Piedmont section. We do not claim a monopoly of the noble work, but give a share of the praise to the towns which have emulated our own example. Identity Discovered, Our nelghhor, the Greenvlfle Mountainser, who live at the foot-hill of the Blue Ridge, where the refreshing breezes of the mountains and the pure water from the purling rill on Paris Mountain constantly renews his youth and gives added strength to his mentality, is In error when he charges Brethren HolmeB, Bown and Wilson with writing "The Reflections of a Bachelor." We know that at least one of the brethren will plead "not guilty", and we have felt disposed to put In a similar plea (or the other brethren named. As good luck would have It, we have discovered the Identity of the writer o' the aforesaid pieces. The Pickens Sentinel, perched like the eagle, on the mountain cliffs, Is the guilty author. While he does not attach his name to the following piece, yet It appeared as his own. Tbe proof Is conduslve and we are acquitted. Tbe Seutl el Bays : A kiss Is a peculiar proposition. Of no use to one, yet absolute bliss to two. The small boy gets It for nothing, tbe young man has to steal It, tbe old man bas to buy It. Tbe baby's right, tbe lovers privilege, the hypocrites mask. To a young girl faith; to a married woman hope, and to an old maid, charity. That Jones Brudley Story. The two Abbeville papers, the Press and Bauner and the Medium told stories last week about County Treasurer Bradley and State Comptroller Jones. The stories were about manual labor in their gardens, but they vary so much lu tbe telling that tbe public are Inclined to believe that both of those newspapers have been hoodooed by some story teller about towu.and thatnellher Mr. Bradley nor Jones has bad any disposition to labor In gardens In some time. It Is all a fake, very likely.?Greenwood News and Views. Of course the Press and Hanner told of the manual exercise of Messrs. Jones and Bradley among the vegetables as it was told to us. The sun had got hot before we were out. We wait until alter breakfast before going abroad. When we were out these gentlemen were in the shade testing from their labors. Cemetery Needed. We notice that the Clintou Chronicle states that, among other things, a city cemetery In needed. Abbeville has many needs, but we can scuffle along for a while yet without "a city cemetery." Our people live on forever or move off, and in either event we don't need a cemetery. What we do need, however, is more industrial enterprises, not to keep our people from dying, but to keep them from moving off. No man is always right?and if he is a married man it's ten to one that he's never right. T/iis i? ml..
