gjk i The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. d 4t**Pabll8bed every Wedneedp ??. 82 a year In advance. Wednesday, Jan. 6, 1904. Mr. Joe X. Nance's Pluck anil Lack. TblB Fall Mr. Joe N. Nance bad a little money for wblcb be bad no particular use. and be coocluded to pat It In feotton. He didn't want futures, but boagbt tbe spot cotton, and put it Into warehouses. Reports vary as to wbat be paid at Abbeville. Some place It about 9 cents. Others say tbat be paid cents. Our own opinion Is, tbat be oultthe Abbeville market before tbe price reached 9)4 cents. After patting a hundred bales In oar warehouse, be went to Donalds, and there bonght cotton. When he was here, be kept the prices high. This, we belleye, concludes the first chapter P In the venture. You all know the price of * ootton today. Mr. Nanoe was In town last Sale Day, aDd we saw him for a minute. And be was In tbe best of spirits, though he seemed to be desirous of baying an automatic kicking machine with wblcb to klok himself for toe mistake that he made in buying spot cotton.* He sayt>, If he bad bought futures, Instead of spots, he would now be able to sell oat at a. profit of 9115,000. As It Is, Instead of this handsome fortune which be migbt have bad, be baB .only tbe paltry sum of 94,000 profit. A little profit like 94.000 Is enough to makean opulent farmer slok at heart, but it is hoped that Mr. , Nance may have tbe courage to bear up under It. He bas done mueb better than tbe Press and Banner did In speculation on cotton. But what pleased Mr. Nance most this winter, was tbe splendid banquet which the people of Donalds tendered blm. He told ns to write a nloe piece, with his name to it, expressing bis profound and bearty thanks to [r , tbe good people ol tbe town for tbe distinguished bonor wblob they had conferred on blm, but we feel as though we could not do tbe subject justloe. Mr. Nanoe would have been extremely proud of 1115,000, but be feels prouder to bave 94,000 and a Joyous reception than any amount of money without tbe reception. The past experience of the Press and Banner renders this newspaper thoroughly competent to give advise on tbe matter of nuying and selling ootton, and we would suggest that when Mr. Nance gets oat of this scrape that ' he stay out of tbe speculation in cotton, no matter wbetber in "futures" or "spots." His nMAoAi ?Kla flma nnffht frt h? a warning tn him. What shall It profit a man to win 84,000 this year, if he Is to loee it all next year ? ' . Christmas Pablleatlons. Some of tbe pablleatlons In tbe big cities make great display in their Christmas issues. The ooantry printer often makes apologies for tbe Allure of the Christmas pabllcatlon to jwvvma nn ?A fha nana) atari rinrri. hnfc Ihfl ' Pickens Sentinel Is an exception. It published on Christmas a paper big enongb ana good enough to last a big town a month. The Preaa and Banner gave Its readers a short allowance, because we were busy with other work. The week before Christmas we finished the A. R.P. Minutes and did other Job work. Last week, among other work, ?e printed over two hundred pages of brief. This offloe has great reason to be pleased at the business which is coming this way. Good work, lowprloes and fair treatment bring results. The world .Is treating this (office all right, and we look to the future hopefully and confidently. . ' Needless. In nearly all the speeches to old soldiers are sentences which defend, or Justify the light whlob old soldiers made In the Confederate army. None of this Is necessary, The time for discussing the right. or Justice of tbe cause In whleh the Confederate soldier enlisted has long ainoe passed. It la, however, meet and proper to recount his deeds of valor and daring, and no Boldier bas greater reason to be proud of bis record than tbe Confederate soldier. Tben let lb* equity or tbe Justice of bis cause be taken for granted. Nobody in this day and time would deny honor to any soldier for duty well done. Tben let ns hear no more apoligetlc, explan. atory, or defensive speeches in bebalf of tbe lrtne and tbe sincerity of tbe cause of tbe Confederate soldlr. His valor and bis courage make him great among the greatest of tbe soldiers. Congressman Aiken. Hon. Wyatl Aiken and bis family are off to Washington, where tbey will spend tbe winter. Mr. Aiken fs In favor of the Panama Canal, and we only wlsb that others oould Bee tas wisely as we think he does. This newspaper wants to see tbe canal uuni, buu wb uupt) tuai lueru uru euuugu uifu tin Washington of that way of thinking to ?' aatlBfy the treaty, and to do whatever else that may be necessary to advance the Inter* eats and the work of that moBt Important of all enterprises. The people of Booth Carolina will have a troe and an active representative in Hon. Wyatt Aiken. (Opposed to the Treaty. The Press and Banner regrets to notice that k Senator Tillman will oppose the ratification of the Canal treaty on the gronnd of his dlsI like for the imaginary methods by wbiob the Panama revolution was brought about. If the United States officials exceeded tbelr c authority, they should be punished. BelDg the duly authorized representatives of this government, we are bound by their aotB. ? xne EdneatlODHl CampslKD." We have received a copy of thlB pamphlet, ' compiled by O. B. Martin, State Superiiitend ent of Education." If the pictures represent the best school houses In the State, and If the English of the composition of the book Is a fair sample of ~~ the language which Is taught in the schools, It occurs to ua that the best way or disposing of the remaining copies would be to pat them In the stove, Instead of distributing them broadcast. 8^ : , Where Are We Drifting:? Wonders never cease, even In this old orthodox oountry of ours. The old Idols are being smashed, one by one; aDd^vrlth the old landmarks gone, who knows where we may land after awhile. Along this line Mr. Arthur Parker makes an astounding state ment In reference to home-raised hay. AH his life he has been somewhat of a cottontot. bat now he Is a hayseed. He proposet to sell fifty or sixty tons of bay. In this line be takes the lead, and his success may be an Inspiration to others. ' _ IiOngstreet Dead. General James Longstreet is dead at 81 j w?ia, TI o occ bug outicujcui bunt ui tuc Confederate Lieutenant Generals none are now living, except Oen. Gordon.

V; L . / m i Biennial Sessions. Tbe Press and Banner believes that we j have too much legislation, but Is opposed to biennial sessions. I Ifour lawmakers will pass a constitutional j amendment reducing the annual session from lorty aays 10 iwemy aays, me peopio wlli vote for It, and the saving will be effected. J Skating on the Pavement. We believe there Is no law against skating | on the sidewalks, and In the absence of any | law on the subject, some of our young ladles ^ have been ublng a banana peel as a skatr, and the grace andspeed of movements a? they glided along the sidewalk was as beautiful as their descent was interesting. Banana peels as skates are'Cheap, and serve their purpose admirably. We hope that no law may be enacted against skating. Mr. R. C. BrownleeofDue West was in the city vesterday on a visit to his friend Judge C( Klugb.whohas been quite sick for a ioug ^ time. . w SPEECHES AND OTHER THINGS. %' Bite Bnnqnet nt Oar Blgicest Hotel. Mr. O. 8. Wakeltng. recently from Salt. Lake Ulty, Utao, formerly of Canada, and who is 4Plea8autly remembered by our people as having spent a year among us, in here, accompanied by his brother Mr. Alan Wake- " ling. Mr. Wakellng, during bis stay among k us, made quite a number of warm and personal ftlends, who wereglad to welcomn him back. To show in what esteem Mr. Wakellng is held by our people, a o umber of his friends gave to him and his brother a swell banquet T at the Eureka hotel Tuesday eveuing, the28tb uIt., which was attended by a large number .. of Mm hpst. vnnnir men in town. The occa- " slon proved a happy and enjoyable afflar. It tl Is hoped Mr. Wakellng may flud rich veins 0 of gold In the old bills which surround (he city, and grow richer and remain the balance of bis life among us, as we are always glad to have such young men as the Messrs.

The Oliver Chilled Mlddlebreaker Plow Is *1 one of the best agricultural Implements on I earth. It plows deep and broad. It prepares J the land for holding the winter rains, and It will open terraces to please tbe most exacting. When it comes te killing and covering the grass in oottoo rows it is at home. Tbe grass nearly withers when it comes into tbe field. If yoa would be rich and happy bay a Mlddlebreaker, and then work it like fighting fire. Tbe best results are not attained by simply throwing It over the fence. It takes horse power, and tbe guiding band of the plowman to muke your farm blossom us the rose and tbe crops to grow like Jonah's gourd. If you want one of these splendid plows, noil a n \! r A R PKnufhom m h A \c *1 At rtn Iv one of the best men, but he is one of the best merchants In town. A Card.
