EWP2:** ' . \ - S."> * ft' ? The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ajtjjtjjl, v ijujux-j, o. w. c 4hf*Published every Wednesdf ?' $2 a year id advance. Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1903. Wnler Protection AkhIdnI Fire. TbetownaDd the cotton mill seem to be getting along as nicely as two peas in a pod, and tbls pleasant condition mlgbt be taken as indicative of future harmony and goodwill. Tbe cotton mill and tbe town realize that it is better for all parties to be friends, rather than anything else. In a conversation with President Han Is he expressed more than a willingness to take one step further In cemen ting tbe ties between the mill and tbe town. He would gladly Join tbe town in Joining tbe watermalns ol tlin tnwn with th? fi-pat nnmn find tbe In exbaustable supply of water at the cotton mill. In the mill reservoir there are always millions of gallons of water, into which tbe creek always runs and keeps up tbe supply. Tbe Immense boilers of the mill are always hot, with not less than forty pounds of steam. The valves could be opened and the steam of the powerful boiler could be turned on In a minute, and a stream of water could be turned on to remain until the fire was extinguished. Of course, in this we have no sort of reflection on the very satisfactory conduct of the water works. The city water is all that could be desired or expected, but tbe idea that we would emphasize is the fact that two sources of water supply is obllK?d to be better than one. In caiea of necessity the cotton mill Is perfectly willing to lend the use of its powerful pumps and its inexhaustible water supply. A necessity mijcht arise at any time. As everybody knows, machinery takes the most inopportune time to break down, and we are all acquainted with the fact that Are breaks out wben and where least expected. As matters now are, If the water mains are flushed and the standplpe is emptied, there is aj time when we could not fight tire, and the town would be at tbe mercy of tbe consuming element. By tbe expenditure of a few hundred dollars tbe water mains coald be connected wltb tbe pumps and tbe reservoir at tbe cotton mill. Is it not tbe part of wisdom to make tbe expenditure, so that tbere may never be a minute wben we are without tbe posslbil Ity of all tbe water tbat may be needed. Stocks In Abbeville. Tbe stocks In tbe two banks in Abbeville bave settled down, and are at borne, bo to , speak. And no question as to tbem Is ever raised. Tbe great number of former owners of tbe cotton mill stock, has been much reduced, and now those who bold stock are pretty well loaded up. Satisfied with their holdings they are not reaoblng out, and II they were doing o, they would not find much of it for sale. In Eureka hotel stock there Is absolutely nothlog doing. We have not beard of a sin gle transfer of either class of stock In that Institution. In the case of the Eureka the thoughts are generally absorbed In the beauty of the building, and the superb manner in wbicb It is kept by Capt. McFall. Ak finality, their thoughts might some time reach the point of wondering bow large a dividend the institution will pay. Aside from tbe financial question, even the mosnbacks and out-of-date old men are taklnp pleasure In contemplating Abbeville's newest venture. The Eureka has had a good run of custom from tbe first day of Its opening. Until quite recently there was some Interest In tbe boIdlDgs of tbe stock Id tbe warehouse. Even before tbe doors ot tbe institution wtre placed on binges, tbe stock of tbe corporation began to change bands, and It is perhaps tbe only Institution in Abbeville whose stock bas not changed hands below par. Tbe competition in buying tbe stock made it lively, ana nnany me block reaonea si'-ju per snare, when a deal was made whereby one share, holder became the owner of a majority of tbe stock. Wince- then there has been little or do enquiry for the stock, and Borne of It ban been ottered at par, with no takers. Perhaps more Interest has been felt by shareholders and others as to tbe stock of the furniture factory. Quite a number of shares have changed hands within the last six months, but Just now but little has been done in that line. Muoh of it has changed bands, but at figures at par, or a little less, as tbe needs of tbe seller may.have been more or less pressing, or possibly from an Indefinable anxiety for obange or speculation. Stook can now be had at a shade less than par. The company made in tbe spring a moRt excellent showing as to results up to that time, and this gave a temporary boom to tbe stock from which it has nearly recovered. * __ _ Bev. T. W. Sloan. Rev. T. W. Sloan, of Greenville, during his vacation, took a little time to spend In Abbe vine among bis old friends and admirers, lie came in on Saturday morning and remained until Monday. His visit gave much pleasure to bis friends, and it is hoped that be enjoyed bis visit. On Sunday he attended services at bis old cburob. We learn, not from him, that Greenville may guard well ber interests. Mr. Sloan Is so popular a preacher that other laurelB will yet crown bis brow. He will be called to other and even greater fields than Greenville. A man of bis ability and bis personal magnetism has not reached the limit of his usefulness or tbe zenith of bis glory. Mr. Sloan Is no ordinary man, and bis future achievements will be measured by tbe standards of tbe ablest and tbe best. As Abbeville was not mmmmm {/iUVV, BV T lilV 10 UUIJ U DbUp. ping place lor him as be reaohes forward to tbe mastery of greater and better things. Greenville may well be proud of blm. Otber laurels will yet press his brow and otber vlo. torles will yet crown bis work in tbe cause of tbe Master. ? We Dissent. We cannot agree with all this tommy-rot about tbe evils of trusts or corporations when no speolflc grievance can be named. Tbe great corporations, or trusts, (tbe words seem to be used Interchangeably,) do more for the publlo welfare than a million separate atoms of citizens. They build all tbe great Industrial enterprises, and give* us tbe best shipping In tbe world, and as for railroads, they are uot to be compared with tbe little short roads and hopper trains of former years. Before the era of great things the cost of a trip and tbe time necessary to go to Charleston, was about as great as It Is now to New York. Corporations pay big salaries to skilled labor, and for brains they pay tbe highest price. We would be sorry to Bee the great corporations dissolved Into little companies. The Newberry Observer makes a good point od tbe Increase of female doctors in tbls country. In tbe practice of medlolne good people send for a "doctor," bnt extra nice people Bend for a "physician." But the Observer was not speaking of the practice of medicine. It was "Mrs. I)r," of whom that paper spoke. Tbe Methodists are to have a new paper, wbtoh will be edited by the Rev. C. W. Crelffhton and published at the office of the Greenwood Index. The Tnrka seem to have no more toleration for the Christian than the Christian ban lor the Mobammedon. .it I ' t S Outfit t? Open Xi'H StrentN. Although ttie cotton mill pays a large per cent of the taxes of the city, yet that institution receives next to none of the benefits, which the citizen receives. For instance: The mill village is the most populous part of the city, and we believe it is true tnat In that populous section of the city, there iA not laid out on the city map ajfoot of street or side walk. It has been contended that the mill town was on private property, and thin Is held as u reason to relieve the clly fr^m the duty and obligation to open new streots where they are needed, Ai.'tbe land in this couuty is owned by private individuals, even as the mill owns the land on which the ini 11 visage Is set. When new streets or new roads are needed, It Is the duly of the proper authorities to open ther". If the people need such streets or roads terms are made with the owners of the laud over the new thoroughfare is to be opened,and It is Just as much the duty of the city to open aud light the needed streels In the mill village as It id open and light the streets In other pa; ts ol tbe town. There is no kmwn reason why the town should not open and work the needed streets In the mill village, aud we can by no method of reasoning, see how the mill people can be ?lw? UunAAlo ?f ?UA MaA/4<i,I BlPftn to ucuivu cuc ucurmo ui lUU uccucu nutcir. , Why discriminate against tbe largest tuxpayer? why deny as good streets and as good lights to the mill operatives as are furnished to other parts ol the town ? By no equitable reasoning can the denial be justified in equity. The operatives are as much entitled to streets and lights as the most favored citizen. If, it be proper to deny streets and lights to the mill people, why not deny them the advantages of the public school system ? The one proposition is as fair as the other. The talk of the mill village being private property is merely a joke. The town takes charge of those people when the services of a policeman are needed, and when taxes are levied upon them they must pay. If tbe school authorities would do their lull duty a good school bouse would be built for those people. They need streete, lights and schools, too. Let on (he U^lit. The negro convention In Columbia laBt week made lull and explicit expression on the subject of white men lynching negroes. That subject having been fully exploited, we hope that the next meeting of this same organization may discuss as thoroughly the assaults by negros upon white women. If we knew what these self-constituted advisers, thought ol the orlme of assault, It might clear up matters. Another phase of ?he question Is, why do negroes always assault white women, and not women of their own race ? im* ? DONALDS DOTS, As Related by the Yoouk Correspondent?Visitors .Comlug and Goinir. Donalds, S. C., Sept 1, 1903. Rain Is very badly needed In these parts now Cotton Is beginning to open real fast. Some Bay tney win Dave a oaie out uy toe latter part of this week. Young oolton is uot very good as It baR Deeded ratn bad. Tbe farmers are pulllDg fodder now. Tbe protracted service was carried ou In the Methodist church last week. The pastor was assisted by tbe Kev. \V. A. Massabeau oi Greeowood. He Is a flae preacher and our people all liked him. Henry and Shields Booker have typhoid fever. There has been several caees or lever la town this year. The work on the ginneries and tbe oil mill is being pushed rapidly as it will tsoon be time to start work. Tbe main building of tbe oil mill is doue and tbey will soou commence to iDHtall the machinery. Work on tbe bank beean yesterday morning. Tbe foundations are being due and brick bauled. Tbe masons will begin work on it soon. Capt. Ellison A.Smytbe of Pelzer has been added to tbe board of directors. The bank it. the strongest Id tbe upper part of tbe state. The bank will probably opeD lor business October 1st. Some person has had the audacity to suggest a furclture factory for tbis place. We would like to 6e an effort made to get one. ' Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Caldwell 01 Abbevilleare spending a few days here with relatives. Mrs. M. M. Mattlson and cblldren are here visiting Mrs. J. w. Mattlson. Several from this plaoe attended the Baptist Association which met at Phoenix. Many of our people were awakened by a fuss last nlgbt that sounded like a cat fight, out on investigation it was found out that it was nothing but a crowd of young folks from Due West, who we suppose had come to see the train Much to their disappointment the train had gone, but they came on down to the depot and rolled the depot trucks around and played like they were trains. They seemed to have a great time, and when ihey left sung very beautifully, "Hang old Dunalds on the sour apple tree." The Donalds Fair Association has opened up the books of subsorlpllon. The fair will be on a much larger scale this year than heretofore. II. KING & MARTIN. Have Confidence In the Entire Community. Messrs. King & Martin, new comers amongst us from a city like Anderson, where the people during the nlgbt lock their doors against tbelr neighbors, have perfect confidence in the Integrity of every member of this community, and their faith in our people Is dellghtlul to contemplate. Live wideawake merchants like King & Martin, can leave stacks of tbelr goods (on the side waia id irom 01 meir more during tne sneni watches of tbe night, when policemen are on duty In other parts of tbe town, the fact Juet as well be known to tbe world that this Is a town of honest people who may be trusted at all times. But for the fact that some of tbelr neighbors protested)against tbe Innovation, It 1r possible that Messrs. King & Martin would by this time have thrown away tbelr store key. Belter men never went to any town, and none ever showed more confidence In a community than to leave stacks of buckets on tbe side walk during the night. MR. R. C. BEREAU Still Love* tbe Place and tbe People AmoDir whom He lived for Years. HI* old friends were glad to greet Mr. R. C. Berneau and Mrs. Berneau. last week. Tbey were In tbe best of health, and never looked better. Tbey love old Abbeville, and tbelr interest In the welfare of the town has not waned since tbelr sojourn among tbe Tarheels. He and Mr. Brewer, the furniture expert of Greensboro, are figuring on building a new factory la Abbeville, and we hope that tbey may oome. Mr. Berneau likes bis old home, and be said that Mr. Brewer never hhw h iuwu woiou u? nueu oeuer, wane Mr. Bemau did not tell us ko, yet we have beard that he would take utock In a new factory to the amoum of 85,000. If Mr. Berneau and Mr. Brewer take the lead the success of the Institution Is assured, and Abbeville ought to give to them the glad heart. VAUDEVILLE ENTERTAINMENT.

Graves and his daughter, Miss Callalou, of Latimer, were here for a short while Saturday. There was a crowded excursion train, six or eight coaches, from Anderson to Augusta, passed here Thursday morning. The negroea were, an usual on such occasions, largely lit the majority, and as usual, too, there was some fussing among them as they went dow?, and as they loaded up In the latter plae? there was more of It coming back, but only one of their number, a woman, was shot, and she not much hurt. The dry hot weather for the past few days has caused a great change In the condition and prospects as to main crops, corn and cot ton. A few more such days will seriously damage them, so reports say. from the surrounding country, but without high waters, there will be much more corn made In this section this year than was made last, year. Kaln is badly needed for peas, second crop of Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips and other lall crops. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. LeRoy returned Saturday from a three weeks mountain trip. Mrs. J. Fulton Clinkscales, of Troy, came up Saturday to spend a few days at her old home in the Fork. During tbe month rapidly nearlng its close, the record In influx of visitors, young men and maidens, has been hroken. There never was before In so short a time, so ninny in our town and its cornmuulty, as have been here Hurl nor llio rtaul mnnth Will lo thu Tvaof har In tbe main ban been very hot, thin fuel has not lessened the gaieties. The hosts have utilized the opportunities offered for making the stay of their guests as pleasant as possible. During the past week there were two gsttberlngs of the young people, and as they were probably tbe last that will be had for some time, it may not be amies, to givoot them a little more than a passing notice. On Monday last about thirty invitations by "Miss Allen and Miss Vera Allen" to an "At Home" for Tuesday evening,"from 'J to 12," in honor of their youug lady visitors "Miss Kwards and Mist-es Barton." The invitations were honored by each receiver, as it was well known that a cordial welcome awaited each, and that there would lie a union of eilort upon tbe part ot the entire family to make the stay of the guests ai t ills delight fill country bome one to be remembered. The house and grounds were brilliantly lighted up, comfortable seats were conveniently arranged in the yard, and these were utilized in preference to those in the house. In dut: time light refreshments were handed round, winding up with a glass of punch, tills Jast. served lu the beautiful summer house. About l'J m. the guests took their departure, teeling that it was L'ood for them to have been there. The other wan on the other Hide of town, about four miles in the country. Thursday night quite a number of the young people, by Invitation, entered the wide open doors of the very pleasant country home ol Mr. and Mrs. '1'. .1. llowman. The hosts were ready and did extend to each coiner a heartfelt welcome, which assured to each one, the freedom of the house and its surroundings, and all ut once proceeded to utilize the pacing moments according to their own sweet, wills. The house and grounds were well lighted up, and all-in both, were arranged an to liest conduce to the comfort and pleasure of all piesent. At the proper time, light, palatahlo, well prepared viands were supplied, which made the, for tho time being, social union complete. When adieus were said, all were united in feeling that the three preceding hours would ever remain a pleaalng memory.
