The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ?**Publlshed every Wednesdp at 82 a year In advance. Wednesday, Feb. 24,1904. We copy from the Chester Lantern an ar tide which refers to the dispensary, gives a Jab to Tlllmau, and makes a thrust at some of the newspapers of the State. From each of Its positions the Press and Banner would dissent. First?We believe the dispensary law is the best liquor law that South Carolina has ever had. Second?We believe Senator Tillman was right In his protest against the manner In "which some of tbe newspapers of tbe State < bad besmirched 1 ts good name. Tblrd?We believe tbe Lantern was unjust to Its brethren when that newspaper spoke ot the "decent newspapers." thereby, by implication at least, asserting that some of tbe newspapers were Indecent. Our good brother would find It difficult to prove by a Jury of his peers that there are any Indecent newspaper In South Carolina. Tbe editor of the Press and Banner has , been in'tbe printing business from a time ante-dating tbe birth of tbe editor of the Lantern, and our testimony would be that we have seen no Indecent newspaper that , came from any printing office In this State. This thine of one newsnaner olalmlne to be better, or more honorable, or more decent than Its neighbors. Is a claim tbat could hardly be sustained. However thoroughly satisfied an editor may be In his own mind tbat he Is purer and better than his neighbors, he would find It difficult to convert others to his way of thlnKlng. The fact that an editor may be disrespectful Is no evidence of his superiority, bat his disregard for the rights and feelings of others may be an evidence that the editor lacks something of coming up to the requirements of his dxalted position. It is usually the manner and not the honesty of the editor to wblob objection may be made. Editors and the people generally love an honest man, and they admire candor and fairness of speech. But they do not admire sellooncelt and ill manners. The presumption of an editor who would ezolude from his soul the possibility tbat be may be In error, while exhibiting intolerance for those who may dlfler from him, would hardly commend him to the good graces o) people, who love fair play. In tbe general chapter of aocldents a man may be set down to be right half his time, while tbe other fel- J low will be right the other half of tbe time. And we notice that those who think other people ought to enforce the law, seldom see any need for efTort at their own door. Did i anybody ever see a prohibitionist trying to ' enforce any liquor law ? Did any newspaper ever urge the conviction of a man In bla own county? Publlo questions are legitimate matters for dlacuBslon, and there Is no need for lll-bumor, except when a man is on the losing side. When be Is conscious of having been vanquished, it may be some relief or some consolation for him to step aside from the proprieties to abuse the other fellow, but neither per Bona] abuse nor misrepresentation can win a victory. To prove that our neighbors may bold convictions contrary to our own, the conduct oi a recent campaign might be olted to prove , that great issues are impersonal, and that be Vwbo indulges In personalties rather than discuss the issues in a fair and logical way, puts , himself at a disadvantage, and does nothing to gain tbe contention. For instance: There is Col. James A. Hoyt of Greenville who, we believe, waB the head and front, or tbe acknowledged leader, of tbe prohibition movement In this State a few " years ago. While be has been all bis life an uncompromising advooate of prohibition, we have no recollection of his ever having charged evil to thuse who differed fromblm. 8 Instead of assailing anybody's good name, e or impugning anybody's motive, his appeal was to reason, and be tried In that way to ^ bring tbe people to bis way of thinking. He 1 thought his opinions were right and gave the reasons for his faith. As far as we recollect, n he made no charges of Indecency or lack 01 6 honestv on th? nurt. nf ihnou mho haM 0 differing from bis own. As a result of tbe ll high plane upon wblch be conducted bl6 L campaign, the people now respect him & more than before. This state of public sent!- 5 ment would have been different If he had ^ charged tbe people with being lawless and in- n decent. But he recognized the fact tbat otb- a era, as well as himself, possessed some of the v virtues. And nooe of me voters of the State b would deny that he fought a good fight. There are none that would not acoord to him v a clean private life. Nobody would lmpeaob 11 his publlcoareer or his offlolal acta. All agree that his reeord in; the sublime struggle be- '' tween tbe states measured up tothe highest Q standards of the American soldier. b With all these facta In hm favor, he " showed disrespect to none. He accorded to others the parity of purpose, the lDdepend- " ence of thought and the freedom of speech, e which he olalmed for himself. He failed to w convert the people to his way of thinking, bat he convinced them that hlB head and hl6 heart led him to be just to all men, however 1 much they might differ from him od a public s question. It occurs to us if the same prlncl- d pal actuated the editors that govern the ? statesmen, that our standards would be better and oar field of usefhlness and Influence b would be broader. 1 If the lew avowed prohibitionists of thle. D State would co-operate with other temper- " ance men, muob good mlgbt result. Evils of ? the dispensary might be remedied. Shorter hoars for keeping the dispensary open might 0 be secured. And whatever is abuse might be 1 removed. So far from the correctness ol the charge that the people of South Carolina are lawless. * we neiieve tnat tney are as good, as true, and ? as law-abiding as any people on eartb. We believe tbe newspapers of this State are 8 as clean and as decent as any to be found in a the world. c Charges against this people and our newe- 8 papers we believe to be unjust. * f Additional Courts. t The need of additional Circuit Courts is not 1 apparent to us. If our Court has ever sat for r tbe alloted time we have forgotten tbe fact. 0 Judge Klugh Is now holdlDg Court In Abbe mo, aiiu c*ci; uuuj xo giau iu eoo luai uc Liao o near}; recovered from a severe spell of sickness. He Is one of the ablest men on tbe Bench, and a better citizen never lived in any o community. He preserves tbe old time dig- p nity and courtesy for which tbe Abbeville a Judges were distinguished in former years. b * The Supervisor's Report. v An exceeding piece is the report of Supervisor Nickels, showing the financial condl tioti of tbe couuty. In every respect it should be satisfactory to tbe people, whose servant he Is. The Supervisor has no concealment, but shows up everything which he is doing for the county.
