The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. w u?#-PabM8hed every Wednesdp at. 82 a year In advance. j-? o?x i/j mno weanesuay, oepc. id, iu\ju. Impartial Jmlge. Great stress seems to have been laid upon the chotoe of Judge to try the case of the 8tate against James H. Tillman, who will be reqalred to answer at Lexington the charge of marder. It so happened that Jadge Gage, who was the regularly appointed Judge of that circuit, 1h slok. Judge Townsend was appointed to try the case. It waa afterward ascertained that Judge Townsend should be on his own circuit at the time of the regular term In Lexington. ?jX-Juage w. t. Deuoi, no uue ie>iucu iu the law, was then appointed to bold the ? \ Court. Against Judge Benet's appointment there has been no protest, as far as wo bave beard. And we do not see bow those wbo want the scales beld evenly could object to so able and so fair a Judge as W. C. Benet Till be. The State of South Carolina and the prisoner at the bar will bave exact justice meted out?as far as the Judge may be responsible. The Court is to open next Monday, September 21. While Interest In the case has greatly subsided, yet It Is the most notable case in the courts today, and fuller newspaper ac oounts ol the trial may be expected than was ever given In any case In South Carolina. Tha trial mill In fant. hn n hatlle hetwean the ablest members of the legal fraternity, and every point will be contested to the utmost limit. Should a verdict of any kind be rendered against tbe prisoner, the probability Is, that a ' motion for anew tilal w'll be made. In case of refusal, then an appeal may be recorded. I Tbe case which has excited so much publlo Interest, and wblcb baa been and will be so . ably prosecuted and so zealously defended, will not, In all probability, be ended next week, unless tbe prisoner should be acquitted. ? Tbe Graded School. The Abbeville Graded and High School opened Monday with an enrollment of 274 pupils. All teaohers were at their posts, and the organization was accomplished noise leasly and quickly. Lessons were assigned . lor tbe next day, and new pupils examined for classification. The sohool was ready for the regular routine exercises on Tuesday, all lessons having been recited. Tbe enrollment tor Tuesday was as follows : Grade 1 Miss Parks, 62. 9 Miss Montgomery, 29. a Mi an Rnhertson. 32. 4 Miss Sara White, 33. 5 Miss Nanoe, 30. 6 Miss Harris, 19. 7 Miss Bertha White. 27. j E'f 8 Mlu Foster, 36. . 9 Miss Kennedy, 25. | 10 Miss Kennedy, assisted by the Superintendent, 10. The total enrollment for Tuesday was, therefore, 303, there being 149 boys and 154 girls. Of the new teachers Misses Montgomery, Nanoe and Sara White are graduates of Winthrop College; Miss Foster of Converse Col lege and Miss Kennedy of Ersklne College. ] & Miss Montgomery Is from Marion and baa taught In Georgetown, Miss Nanoe Is from ft.-' Cross Hill and bas taught In Denmark, Miss Foster Is from Spartanburg and bas taught In Greenwood, Miss Kennedy Is from Yorkvllle and bas taught there, Miss Sarah White Is ' from Abbeville. Many pleasant remarks have been made by pupils and teachers on the favorable Impressions of the first two days of school, aud it Is perfectlo certain that no school Id this pirt of tbecountry is better equipped In the matter of an able and efficient faculty. If our pnrentH will do tbelr part as well as tbe .Superintendent and teachers will do theirs Abbeville will bave much of wblcb to be proud. Htt.v. I I p. Auotber Cotton Mill. .?* | It has been said tbat Mr. A. W. Smith cor templates tbe building of anotbercotton mill, in a neighboring town to Woodruff, and that he would likely be favorable to Abbeville. 1 f he should come, let onr people give all the en-; couragement that tbey are able to give. Mr. j Smith's cotton mill st> ck at Woodrutr Is worth par on tbe market. Havitg demonstrated bis ability to build aod run a mil), we hope that If he comes to Abbeville, tbey will give tbe needed help. The building of industrial enterprises helps out a town, and when one comes who bas shown his ability to fctart other mills, It lookB like h pity for us not to come op to his requirements. ??! Tbe Pabllc Park. Bk> The city counoll have done muoh good work on tbe park In i.be public square. Tbe ground has been curbed In by nloe long v stones and tbe level of tbe whole surface has t been raised by the addition of dirt brought c from a dlstanoe. Tbe top has been covered t with rich soil, and we presume that bermuda b grass, tbe blue grass of tbe Booth, will be o planted. Tbe edge of the curb around the lower part of tbe park Is a foot or more above c ground on tbe ooulde of tbe enclosure. This t would furnlab a nloe seat or resting plaoe for a tbe weary citizen of limited means and tired t limbs, but we should not be surprised if tbe 1 counoll threw a few loads of dirt next to the I rook and destroyed It as a resting place. m: ??? : Interesting Service. Without attempting to give a synopsis or his sermon last Sunday night at the Presbyterian church, It might not be amiss to state that Dr. J. Lowrle Wilson was very gratifying to tbe devout listeners who beard him. In the morning three lovely yourg ladles were admitted to tbe commnnlon of tbe eburcb. Their beauty and their Bmlles may have Inspired him, as they would bave done ' for other bachelors. V, Simply Hallclonn. n We think tbe recent article In Tbe State In referenoe to the Press and Banner was uncalled lor and unjustified. As far as we are able to dlsoern the outlines of Its veiled and In- c V; definable meaning we regard It as simply 1 malicious. j If Tbe State will cease to bide behind In- ( nlnnnMonn whan rAfArrlna t.n t.hlH nwwHORDPr. ? and will come out la tbe open and mafce 1U speech In an honorable and manly way, we hope to answer Its Intermeddling with the Frees and Banner aB the occasion may de. serve. ?. ? Tbe De La Howe School. Could not the Legislature or tbe Courts authorise the removal or the Dela Howe School to Abbeville? The chaoge to Abbeville would result In &ood alike to the town and tbe children. ; Damaged Cotton. i The universal cry for a month baa been the hot and dry weather 1b ruining the cotton. And all wanted rain. Now, when the rain has come, the clalmers made that it came ' too late, and 1b Injuring the crop. To a lay- J man all this seems myBierious. The rain will hardly hurt the turnip orop. * ' "" Fine perfumery and freeh candy at Mllford's up-to-date drug etore. U ' 1 m ... igy , I; . j?
