A Good Brother')) Error.
The local editor of the Associate Reformed
aooma ?r? ?rt1l on a OOTOflt TTIOrHPl
rrcou/ '?>V1 lOU noouio IV i UII on < h ?? vv? ?
under his tongue the lamentable occurence
which took place In this town some years
ago whereby good men lost their lives.
Everybody here U sorry for that unfortunate
affair. We couldn't forget It, if we
would, but we wouldn't open gaping wounds.
If we could.
As far as this newspaper Is able to understand,
there Is no difference of opinion between
Editor Galloway and the most temperate
people of this town In reference to the ust
orabnae of liquor. But the manner of deallDg
with it, or controlling the traffic, Is one thing,
and the use or abuse of intoxicants Is quite
another.
People In this town who are communicants
and officers of our churches?men who, to the
best of their ability, exemplify the life and
character of our Saviour, and who are
regarded with the greatest respect, are,
we believe, a unit in Baying that the dispensary
Is the beet way to govern the liquor
traffic.
Ibese good men live right here in the
town, while Mr. Galloway lives in a distant
town.
i While Editor Galloway is last as conscientious
as any man at Abbeville, yet his
chances of informing himself on an Important
question are not equal to the opportunities
of gentlemen at Abbeville. Editor Galloway
Is perfectly sincere In his declarations which
are in effect, that all the good men of Abbeville
are mistaken, and he alone 1b right.
In times past, when it was possible to reduce
the hours of sale of Intoxicants at the
dispensary, our good brother was silent, and
would not help. When the Press and Banner
V sought to reduoe the evils by opening tbf
dispensary later In the morning and closing
It earlier In the evening, our good brother
stood aloof.
None are so blind as those who are determined
not to see. If our good brother
woold examine into the facts, he would see
that he Is In the wrong pew. He is aligned
with a few good people, who are not better
Informed than himself, while the great mass
of those who Join him in his light
atcainst the dlBDenaary are pronounced
friends of the license system. Tbe vote
not so long ago for tbe candidates who were
opposed to tbe dispensary Included a few
temperance men, nearly all tbe wblskej
drinkers, and a large per cent, of tbose wbo
favored Uoense.
Tbe few temperanoe men wbo led In
tbeorusade against tbe dispensary made a
strange alignment.
Onrgood brother at Dae West Is sincere
and conscientious in bis warfare. Tbe conscientious
man, wbo is not informed on tbe
subject of wblcb be writes, may do much
barm when most anxious to do good.
While Editor Qalloway is sincere In all
that be says, yet he JumpB at conclusions,
and will not bear the testimony of otbero
who are actuated by as blgb motives as him
self, and who have mush better means ol
tSQt ,
forming a correct conclusion.
Nobody doubts the evil resulting from the
sale ol liquor. The only question is. how
shall the traffic be managed?
The public mind Is not ready for prohlbU
tlODa
This Is proved In a thousand ways. The
dispensary law was In the Courts for years,
and an association of liquor dealers In the
United States, we believe, encouraged its
violation and furnished the sinews of war, to
test in Court every contestable section of the
law. The llqaor dealers cared nothing for
prohibitory laws which could not be en<
forced, but when It came to enacting a dispensary
law which really restricted the
traffic In liquor, the liquor men of other
States rose In arms against it, and fought it
In the Courts for years. The license newspapers
encouraged the warfare.
As good and as upright a man as Editor
Galloway Is, ought to Inform himself. In his
conscientiousness is found the strongest rea
son for directing that conscience correctly. A
good man who conscientiously holds to error
Is capable of doing much harm, even when
he really seek? to do good.
We know that Editor Galloway is sincere
in bis fight against the dispensary. Pure In
heart, he should gee that hiB head Is right.
Under the dispensary law, the State o(
Booth Carolina has only 110 dispensaries
whloh are opened only during sunlight.
Under the lloenae system, and up to tbe
last night ol that method of dealing with
liquor, there were 999 houses in the State
wher? liquor could be legally sold.
The 999 bar-rooms, it is estimated, gave
employment to 5,000 men.
The dispensary gives employment to perhaps
300 men and 200 women?tbe women being
employed in tbe bottling department.
Barrooms were seldom closed until ten
o'clock at nlgbt. They were generally opened
before sunrise. Sometimes the back doors,
or side doors, were not closed all day on Sunday.
Tbe barrooms afforded loafing places from
wbloh few were exoluded.
Under tbe dispensary, treating 1b a thing of
tbe past.
It will not be seriously contended that 110
dispensaries, open In daylight only and em
ploying 300 men, can be as Injurious to tbe
public morals as 999 barrooms and 5,000 keepof
tbe same, wblob saloons were open a greater
part of tbe 24 hours.
As long aa tbe Christian temperance people
bold to their present convlotlons, no fears
need be entertained of our having probltory
laws. And it is a pity that tbe 1bw
misguided temperance brethren tbat lead
tbe whiskey element do not Inform themselves,
and then lend their Influence Tor
shorter hours of the dispensary, and for severer
limitations upon tbe sale of intoxicants. '
New Engine.
Tbe Press and Banner bas put In a new
engine to supply tbe needed power for running
ibe machinery of tbe offloe. It Is a
Mlelz <fc Weiss kerosene engine, aod Is
up to date In all respects. It runB
beautifully, and requires tbe least possible
attention. The consumption of fuel Is
reauoea to a minimum, and; It Is la all respects
a good engine.
We have heretofore used a two-borse acme
kerosene engine which has done us good
service, bat as the business of the office Increased
our folk demanded a newer and better
engine. To answer their demand the
new engine was bought. If, therefore,
any brother priater, or other person, wants
to experiment with a second hand 2>borse
acme engine be oan be supplied with a machine
at the Press and Banner offloe. Having
do farther use for It, we will sell it for
almost any price that may be offered. We
would.take almost any old thing In exchange
for It, except goats and Jersey cattle. We
draw the line on them.
Tbls particular kind of engine was bought
on the advice of Editor Galloway, of tbe
Associate Reformed Presbyterian. His advise
was based on experience with the same
kind of engine, which he set up In his place
of baslnesa not so long ago.
When oar engine came, Mr. C. A. Smith
and Mr. Jamea Taggart, set It up, arranging
pulleys and ahafting, when It was ready to
un, Mr. W. C. Doty, who runs Brother Galloway'a
engine, helped us to start It off. And
go all la well that ends well.

Honored Guest.
President A. W. Smith of the Woodruff
Cotton Mill, dropped In on us last Saturday.
He is full o/the mill business, and is making
a success of his mill; his hank Ftoeklsworth ;
8125, and his mill stock goes at par. Wo asked
him about building; a mill at Abbeville to ^
/1nrvi/inn??nt#v * _ ? ?VtA mill Klicl- mi.

ness would pay. He said he wan more than cli
willing to make the "demonstration," if our
people would put op a little money. He felt tn
confident that ho con Id dnpllnateourmlll, and M
save pio.noo, which Is n saving of SoO 000 more
than we thought, possible. Our estimate has gi
been that 82-iO OfiO could be saved In building co
CO
another mill like ours. 0p
Mr. Smith says thut the r ference of the n,
Press and Banner lo the possibility of his pi'
building a new mill, has increased his correspondence
so much that the may need br
another stenographer and typewriter. th
Now, why can't our people chip in and help
to build another mill ? Let us all take stock, I
and II any of us are not able to ho'd it, we *|j
can sell it at a small discount. The Press and
Banner has been governed by this rule. We co
have subscribed to the capital stock of every
enterprise that has been started tn Abbevlll f'* CH
for twenty years. We own no stock in any- ?n
thing now. We make it a rule to sell out, ho
we may be ready for a re-Investment in any be
other enterprise. Sometimes we have sold 5
stock at a loss. Occasionally we have sold Pe
at par. and very seldom have we sold our ITQ
holdings at a premium. But at whatever j
price If. changed hands, we have been satis do
fled. When we made a Droflt, we had a place Kij
to put the money. When we lost money, we an
did not lose half as much as we would have
go
been wllllDg to give to see the enterprise go
up. We regret, no Investment to start any
enterprise. And we stand ready to subscribe
a sum equal to our ability under the circumstances,
to any new enterprise that will give
employment to our people, while increasing
the business of the town, and sending the
price of real estate to a higher figure.
In building a mill for a town, President
Smith will do more for the people than Carnegle
does in endowing a public library. va
Whatdoesa man.with: a hungry family or *
shivering children care for books? They want ^
bread, and the greatest charity that can be m
disponed, is the giving of an opportunity to
work, which work will make a man lndepen vs
dent and self-respecting. To give alms to
able bodied people lowers their self-respect, Bj
but to offer them profitable employment ele- j
vates them along all the lines of good citizen- wi
ship. If President Smith will build us a mill' ?j
the people will give him a warm place in it
their hearts, and when he goes to heaven they ot)

Cr
The Acqnlttal of Jnines II. Tillmnn. Wl
The Jury at Lexington, last Thursday morn- ]
Ing, acquitted James H. Tillman of the
charge of murder in the killing of N. G
Gonzales last January.
Many newspapers were not surprised at In
the verdict, but In noting the acquittal, somb
of them were bitter In denunciation of the
verdict, If not of the Jury Itself. 51
If there bad been no other testimony be
fore the Jury than that which pertained to
the act of shooting, it Is not clear to us how |j(
the Jury could have acquitted Mr. Tillman of
all blame.
If the origin of the difficulty had not dated
back of the 15th day of January, 1903, the pr
mere fact of Gonzales having his bands in h?
his coat pocket on a cold day would not have
justified Tillman In shooting him. go
It Is fair.to presume that as flagnant vlo- tr;
latlons of the peace have occurred In
every County In the State, as that which ir I
occurred In Columbia on the loth of January, a<"
and records will prove that others as guilty
is Tillman have not been convicted or abused
after acquittal.
But for years Tillman has been promlnen tly
before the people, and because of this fact
his aot of violence has been more generally It
commented on by the newspapers. He, by
no means, 1b the only man who has been
acquitted of serious charges.
We hardly see the fairness of criticising the
attorneys on either side, because of their (a;
reference to political matters. The flics ol ta
The State were introduced in evidence, aDd "r
a large part of the edltorals of The State were wl(
political. Without Jhe Introduction or facts ce
eadlng up to the homicide Tillman coultf ^
not have had a fair trial. As the editorials of ac
the State were brought into Court, they, it
seems to us, were a proper subject of discus
sion. Thejurors and the rest of the world th
must believe they had more to do with the dc
killing than the act of Mr. Gonzales in thrust- H8,
Ing his hands in his pockets. < |
Special Judge F. B. Gary of this city heard "J
the case, and the readiness and the fairness ')
of his rulings have been a matter of com- ?J
aoent. " i
The parties to this homicide have suffered '
severely. One is in his grave, the other's life
is a living death. Debased before the world,
he can scarcely recover the good name
which be once bad.
Patriotic, Tillman took up arms for his
oountry. Able and ambitious, be sought and
obtained political preferment. Suffering defeat,
and exasperated at the attacks upon his
good name, he slew his assailant, lie has
been acquitted of the charge of murder, but
the blood Is on his hands, his private estate
is absorbed In costs, his health is shattered
by confinement. Will any man say that he
has not suflered, and that goes Root free ?
The Old Academy.
Hon. W. P. Calhoun sends us the subscription
list to the building of the old academy,
which building was torn down some ten or
twelve years ago to give place to our graded
Bchool building. "iou will be interested in
reading the names, and noting their subscriptions.
Of the seventy-flve names appearing
in that list only four remain, namely:
W. H. Parker and J. T. Martin who were
partners In law. Messrs. J. F. Livingston
and H. T. Tusten are the other two. Mr. Calhoun
we presume mistakes Joel Smith for W.
Joel Smith. This editor was personally ac
quainted with SI of these subscribers. At
leasl 24 of the number bad either died or
moved away before 1S59.
If the heading of the subscrlotion list Is
legally binding, it would seem that any old
reserved claim to the lot was surrendered In
"my Interest in the present Female Academy."
There is a tradition that a former
alienee or grantor, gave the lot with the understanding
that it should revert in case it
was used for other purpose than that of a
school lot. It will be noted tbat some citizens
of the county, outside the town, made
subscriptions, among others. R. M. Palmer,
J. E. Foster, B. I. Harrison, Joel Smltb, L. J.
Patterson, J. K. Wilson, Wm. Blake, Burt
Jordon, J. L. Colemon, James Lindsay, J. W.
Thomas, A. C. Hawthorn, S. Anderson, C. T.
Haskell.
Among other citizens of that day than subscribers,
who survive we can recall only the
names of Col. J. T. Kobertson aud Mr. G. A.
Douglass. Dr. Marshall, Messrs. W. Joel
Smltb, G. A. Vlsanska and Capt. Johu G.
Edwards, came to Abbeville after this list
was made up. <
