pg*T' ->' . > . The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. c *#-Publlshed every Wednesdp at. $2 a year In advance. Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1903. Death of John H. Chiles. A/ler an Illness of a week or more, John H. Chiles, died last Monday, Aug. 17, 1903, in Greenwood at the borne of bis son-in-law, Mr. William Calhoun. He hod for many years lived at Chiles Cross Roads in this County, and was one of the best men that Abbeville ever produced. Having outlived his generation he died at the age of 76, honored and beloved by all who knew blm. The funeral and burial took place at Cedar Springs on yesterday, and thus one of the few links that connected us with the past has been removed. He was among the small number who now survive from the active scenes of the time before tbe war. He was oorreoi in nis conduct. and to all oatward appearances be was pore In heart, abounding In the graces and the virtues which command the love and the admiration of men. m tV c A Far Reaching Decision. Judge Rogers In the United States Court at St. LouIb, Mo., deoldes that tbe Western Union Telegraph Company or any other employer has the right to discharge any employee not under contract for any cause or no cause ; that it Is lawful to discharge an employee without cause, and there can be no conspiracy to do a lawful act, there can be no conspiracy to discharge an employee; that so-called black lists are not unlawful, and It la not unlawful to furnish to other persons copies of so-called black lists, 1. e., lists of discharged employees; that no cause being required for the discharge of an employee, tbe assignment of a cause that he Is a member of a union, or a temperance Society, or a church, does not make tbe discharge unlawful. Bloodhounds. We have great respect for Governor Heyward, and we think that he Is too high a man to enoonrage or to allow the State's representatives to uBe dogs In hunting down bnman belngi as (If they were wild animals. The practice most have a degrading tendency lor both the hunter and the hunted?especially to the hnnter. Before the war these same "bloodhounds,'' were kept by a class of men?generally not slaveholders? who would hunt runaway *C!. , slaves foraprloe. In those days, If our mem' ory Is not In error, the tame "bloodhounds" of today were oalled then "nigger dogs." The repulsive habit of hunting human belngs by dogs does not comport with our ideas of Governor Hey ward's high character. Killed at Honea Path. Patrlok Brady, known aa old man Brady, peddler, was run over aDd killed by a freight train at Honea Path last Monday. We see It stated that Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World, has "donated" two mill Ion dollars ta found a school or Journalism. The first tblng, uo doubt, to be taught In tbatscbool will be the use ot good English Tbe idea of a man like Joseph Pulitzer uslDg the word "donate" when he meant to say "give" Is not to be eutertalned. How would It sound to ask our heavenly Ft ther to ' do nate" this day oar dally bread ? Prospective Need. If tbe good Lord does not withhold tbe ralu and the warm weather a great number of our peop!e will have to build bigger barns. Tbe tavorable seasons make tbe crop prospects good Indeed. The hope of higher prices nils the hearu of our people with great expectations. If, however, the rains should be suddenly cut off, no man could tell tbe effect. - : Careless Shooting. Tbey are getting to be very careless in the matter of shooting negroes over in Georgia. we notice from tbe Elberton Tribune tbai a man shot at a negro and hit a white man. It la thought that the white man will recover | but bis reoovery does not excuse tbe carelessness from which he was wounded. The i law should require Ibettsr markmansblp, or punish those who are so careless as to miss their target No man should be allowad to boot at a negro, unless he can do so without endangering the life or limb of a white man m m B.%* - We venture the suggestion that Mr. T. Y. Williams of Lancaster, would be a good man to raise the banner of reform against dispensary rottenness. Mr. Williams Is an honest, fearless man of ability, and be has already been forced to cry oat against the rising stench.?Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. T. Y. Williams may be a smart man and well qualified for the position, but what is the matter with Mr. A. C. Jones. He seems to know a great deal abont tbe dispensary business, and he seems to bave the disposition to reform that Institution. We nfove that Mr. Williams withdraw and that Mr. Jones take charge of tbe whole business. ? ,?? The Prealdent and the Negroes. For political reasons the President has brought about race troubles In all parts of the oountry. As a consequence of big Indiscreet speeches, negroes In all parts of the country have been slain. When McKlnley was President the raceB were living In peace, bat Roosevelt is a disturber of the peace. Seeing that bis conduct may have been responsible for muoh bloodshed be now deplores lynching. He has sown the wind and the negroes are reaping the whirlwind. $ " Not Explained. Mr. A. C. Jones, who seems to be well qualified for cblef liquor constable, acquits one member of the board of any wrong-doing, but he doesn't explain bow the board or any member of It can be corrupt In the liquor basiness wlthont Involving the other membera. As we understand, It is the board, and not Individuals, who buys the liquor. , Negro delegates are to meet In Columbia at an early date to discuss lynchlngs. The way to stop lyncblngs is to stop the cause. The lynching la sure to follow the cause. If the young negro mes Will behave themselves you will hear of no more lynchlngs "for the usual crime." mm i ^ Col. Bryan was recently in a railroad wreck In Illinois, but escaped unhurt?Newberry Observer. It looks as If we never get rid of Billy. Political defeats and railroad wrecks do not tmoh him, and, as a nuisance, he seems to take on a new lease of life as the years go by. Oh, If he would oily sit down. Tired ol convicts. It now seems that Edgefield Is tired of hav. lng convicts to work on the publlo highways. If not for economic reasons, they Bhouldbe run la anyhow. Their exhibition 18 a shame todeoent people, we think. ? + The Columbian Congress has rejected tbe canal treaty. Billy Bryan fceepa on shooting off his mouth. He U getting to be a nuisance. ' \ ... CiOOU StlKKCMtiUll. The following editorial, published lu the Denver Republican, appealed ho strongly to the Denver chamber of commerce that it is being distributed over the country, accompanied by an invitation to persons with capl tal to Investigate the advantages of Denver, m P?rhftr>n it mipht he used for Abbeville. The _ editorial, which Is headed "Increasing Local Facilities," reads as follows: "In order that the number of our looal In dnstrles may be Increased It Is necessary to provide both ability to manage an enterprise and capital to put It on Its feet. The former may be supplied by men looking for a place in which to go into business or by citizens who possess the requisite qualities, tlons. The latter must be furnished by men of means willing to belp the city while they 2 increase their own revennes. "There should be some way to bring these two essential factors together. If tbey search for each other they will undoubtedly meet. but, If capital runs away and goes Into biding for fear that enterprise and skill may find it, there will be little hope of co-operation. "In Denver, as In Abbeville, there are many business men and others possessing available \ r-anit al who won Id no (lnnht mibsorlbe to the X stock of new and worthy enterprises If the _ facts Justifying such ventures were properly X placed before them. "Hardly anything In the way of public en- ^ terprlse Is more worthy of the Interest and support than ah effort to ascertain what In- .1 dustrles could be operated with success In * Denver or In Abbeville, as the case may be. f It make? do difference how small an enter- c pel8e may be ; If It would Increase the pro- _ duotlve power of the community and give C employment to more labor It should be encouraged. ? "Information concerning all such matters should be so far ascertained that a business man thinking of investing would be able to ! form an Idea whether the venture would be ? wise. He could then prosecute the Inquiry " In greater detail and determine finally whether to take stock or not. The need arises from the Importance of , awakening the interest of tbose who are indifferent or wholly uninformed. It is a question of public spirit and enterprise whether such subjects shall receive attention. It Is In dull and sluggish towns that they are neglected." CharleMton's Blind TlfcerN. One of the Aiken papers Is quoted as saying that Charleston will never submit to the dispensary law, or words to that effect. The News^and Courier copies It with evident approval. Well, now, if Charleston Is greater than the ? State, and if that olty proposes to be a law unto Istself, wouldn't It be a good.ldea for tbe Legislature to send a committee wltb bat in hand to Interview Cblco and other gentlemen, and find out what sort of a law they 1 will obey ? This thing of enacting laws without conferring with the blind tigers should be stopped, What is the use of the Legislature anyway, if the wishes of the blind tigers are be disregarded ? If tbls thing goes on, some mountaineer ? may-propose to send State constables to inter- e ere with tbe liquor business oi CharlestonThe idea of sending State constables to make | grand old Charleston obey the laws of the I State is too exas naratine to be entertained. 1 T C Any Idea that Hey ward Is to be Governor c ofCbarlestoo is enough to bring on war, and ' it Is to be hoped that the Governor may write * a private letter to the blind tigers, disclaim y Ing any intention to linterfere with the gen- n tleman in the city by the sea. ? . t L The Manila Cablcicrnm. s We are Indebted to Mr. Sam Eakln for the s privilege of reading the fifth of July of the d Manila Cablegram. It Is interesting as show. ^ ing lite In the distant city, and In pointing a out the difference between the businessmen n of Manila and those of this country. ? In this country the store keepers advertise c for the trade of the ladles of the city, but from P the Manila Cablegram we could hardly learn that there were any women In the place. A t large part of the advertising of ships, coming c and going. The liquor business is well rep- c resented in the advertising columns. The- e atres are not mindful of the benefits of adver f Using. Mineral water and beer are most con- t splclous. Hotels and restaurants would feed d the people. Notable Is the absence of the advertisement of men's and women's cloth. ^ ing. They Just don't seem to want to sell millinery and dress eoods. The larger Dart . of this Issue of the paper Is taken up with an account of tbe Fourth of July Jubilation including the speeches and tbe paper is very * Interesting. Insanity. Tbe Columbia Record Is alarmed because of tbe Increasing Insanity in South Carolina, 1 and the crowded condition of tbe asylum. That paper charges it all up to unwillingness on the part of kindred to care for the feeble ? In body and mind. We presume that the n Record has shut its eyes to tbe fact that the U game of fllnoh has reoently spread over this 11 oountry. That paper carefully avoids stating g whether flinch Is tbe cause of insanity, or V whether insanity is the cause of flinch. b tl ci Trip to Georgia. o I left my home Sunday morning Aug. 9th for Lincoln, Ga.. In a private vehicje, and I 0 enjoyed the trip very much through the rvMintrv fnr T eair a a rex a I munir thlnrru arVilnli were very interesting. There are some very Q] fine orops along tbe road la Carolina but the finest crops are in Georgia. Tbe people In . Georgia plant more corn tban tbe people In ? Carolina and tbey live at home and board at tbe name place. The first place I visited was the home of my uncle. There I was welcomed by his most p kind and gentle wife. I remained there until Monday afternoon, and then I next went n to tbe home of my aunts Mrs. Elams, where I enjoyed an excellent supper which had 8? been prepared for me. Tbe next place I went was to cburcb. Protracted meeting was going! on at (Bethany M. ?. church. There I met a great many of my old friends AmoDg these were Messrs. Hal Freeman, and Manning Brown, who once worked here In vi the Abbeville Furniture Factory. Tbe young lady friends I saw were MlsseB Ethel and Eva A Wright, Leila Scott and Hattle Albea. pi I also met my old friend Miss Mary Har- ai mou of McCormlck. She was as jolly as ever gi and was enjoying herself, as well as I. The next place I visited was the cosy little 3C home of my uncle where I was welcomed by qi bis loving wife aud her sweet sister Miss b< Leila Scott. Miss Leila and I attended tbe meeting together and bad a very pleasuut tt time. As we were both named Leila we call- N ed Miss Scott (old aunt Leila.) On Thursday si night old aunt Leila and I were accompanied it to church by Mr. Luke Thurman, a very ci handsome young man of Pansy, Ga. Mr. Thurman is a very Jolly young man and we had a verv nleasant time of coutmb. It. ?. ?? very Nad when time came for us to nay goodbye Saturday morning, and I left for my old home in Abbeville.
