1 The Press and Banner. " BY HUGH WILSON. ' \ ABBEVILLE, S. C. o WPabllshed every Wednesdp at, 82 a year In advanoe. Wednesday, March 9,1904. JLUUl'nuuu nun vriuio The Atlanta Constitution,, the Greenville News, and other newspapers have published 1 statements showing replies to Booker Wash- J IngtoD's various questions which he asked pertaining to tbe education of tbe negro, as a safeguard against crime. Tbe statistics are all that the educational fanatic could wish, and eeem to be enough to pull the wool over the eyes of tbe reader. There Is nothing which may be more de- ceiving than figures, and these figures about eduoation are no exception to the rule. While It is admitted that educated people do not, as a rule, steal little things when the owner 1b not looking, but it would be a reckless person indeed if be asserted that educa- < ' tlnn moHn o man honPfit. The fact Is, that the Ignorant person will commit petty laroeny when nobody Is lookfng, but tbe educated person may commit grand laroeny under tbe guise of a contract. Education Is a negative in so far as moral character 1b concerned. Education developes the nataral qualities of tbe bead and heart. It enables a good man to be better, and it qualifies tbe bad man to belter, or more slcilfully, practice tbe art of stealing under tbe guise of a oontract. He learns tbe law, and avoids tbe technical violation, wblle disregarding tbe principles of bonesty. Tbese este?med editors, no boubt, can find evidences at tbelr own doors to prove tbat _ education does not make men honest. Educated men pick up gudgeons and take their money, but tbey do It under tbe form of law, while steering clear of the technical violation of the statutes. They are generally well " informed on orlmlnal law, and no matter 11 how near they come to It, tbey generally stay 0 on the right side of the law, so that they are 6 hard to catch, while the less Informed person 9 does his stealing; in a blundering way and is caught. a It would be a poor fool who would steal a fi ?- ?? 1 i ? n Daie or outrun waea iiie owner ib out iuu&iuk- ~ If tbe educated man wanted cotton, be b wonld go to tbe Owner, propose to bay it on a b credit of one week, one montb, or any otber ? , time, offering Inducements for tbe aooommo- a datlon. Tbe uneducated, or simple owner ot s tbe ootton, might part witb a dozeu bales in a thlB way, and receive tbe buyer's noie in payment. If the buyer falls to pay, be has oom mltted no legal crime, and he has secured b many bales of cotton, while the uneducated i man who took a bale when tbe owner was not looking, Is caught and punlbhed. Tbe e educated gentlemen gofcs about bi& business e with tbe proceeds of tbe cotton which be 0 stole under tbe guise of a contract. See tbe . difference. Both thieves are equally guilty in b morals, but only one of them has violated the & statute, I, , ,, ' a Dog and CfeW. \ Hon. Josh Asheley was In town a few days b ago, discussing the dog law, aud was very a pronouncedin his opposition to both tbe law n and the men who voted for It. He thought n the poor. man'B dog ought not to be taxed si Mr.G. H. Moore, one of tbe by-standers, asked b Mr. Asbeley what he thought about taxing p tbe poor man's cow. This fired up Mr. Ashe- li ley and he became eloquent in explaining the difference between assessing a cow and p putting a special tax on dogs. Tbe Supreme s Court bad made a ruling, the fine points of n which we could not reproduce. A plain every w day citizen dosen't see why a dog should be tl held in higher esteem than tbe cow. And it I is not clear how a cow should be taxed and w the dog should be allowed to go free. Town h people have to pay on both. li ' m , m 81 tl Peaaecntlon. a * We think the News and Courier is right in oharaoterlzlng the farce now going on in Washington as a persecution of the Mormons. Thia newspaper cannot see tbe oonsletency In persecuting Mormons for plural marrlageB, ti when every State in tbe Union, except Soutb Carolina, allows a man to marry as many g women as he pleases, provided only, be g throws the preceding wife la tbe street. Mor- D mons are required to take care of all their a wives, while elsewhere than in Utah, tbe 0, States BJit hnrl7.fl a man In tAkn an manv w!vpr _ Id at the front as door he chooses, provided T he has kicked all but the last one oat of doors. 0 The whole trial looks like a hyprocriticai b persecutions the men who take care of all t| their wives.' h Get Ont. a When everything is bright and hopeful, when men are prosperous and the olty is being beautified, the town has neither room for drones nor patience with grumblers. Of coarse buBy people, who are trying to do R something for themselves and the town do -Q, not ran the town down. s It is, therefore, requested that all idle and c ill-speak In g people pick up their dudB and go t] to some town more to tneir liking. Abbeville a has no plaoe for growlers and the grumblers, B and the sooner isuoh people leave, the better a for ob ail. . " If yoa don't like the town, why, just move on. Yoar presence 1b not needed, and your absence will not be kno\yn. Abbeville baa no place for those who do net like the place. Move on, if yon please. ? . - ? I Tbe Cat. And now comes tbe Washington Post, and ? testifies that cats may be moved from one e place to another without danger of their run- c ning back to their old home?if their feet are ? greased before moving. Tbe Post says that by the time the oat licks the grease off its a feet that 11 will have forgotten all about the ? move. These city editors have strange no- t! tions. We have all beard that we could catch jay birds if we only sprinkled a little salt on a* tnelr tails, but the greasing cat's feet is some- s thing new. b jrair ?uu lurcemi. D The editorial comments of tbe Greenville c Mountaineer last Saturday on lynching was a model. It was forceful and respectful, pre- y sen ting tbe editor's side of tbe question to tbe ? best advantage, fully sustaining what we 8 Bald two weeks ago of Col. Hoyt's method of p conducting tbe oampalgn lu tbe race for Governor. It Is wlahed that all writers for tbe d press could measure up to tbe Mountaineer's ^ style or last Saturday. d tl 88, and not 87. J! In noting tbe reduction in tbe price of the u News & Courier, we accidentally erred In stat- ? lng tbat tbe price bad been reduced to ?7. We Bhould have said tbat tbe price 1b 8S. And 88 S' is obeap enough for a borne paper that comes Q every day, and gives all tbe news, besides giving something to read in every paper. C Fine Day.

Wash Fabrics in ei White Goods, Eml ielect from. Ready-to-wear Ski The latest noveltie All's.Well at Oar House. No; Abbeville bas not beentransformed to a fairy land, with fairy scenes, nor has I excelled Parisian splendor, but some of ur stores fllled with tnepreiuesi gooan are nough to dazzle tbe eye and to bewilder tbe enseiof ordinary mor tals. There has been ia forward movement all long the line, and every where we look we [ad evidences of progress, culture and refine ent. Besides the beautiful new stores, that lave been built and tbe old stores tbat bave een remodeled to conform to tbe latest tyleB, our people bave built, and are building ,nd are going to build tbe prettiest, tbe bandomest, and tbe statllest homes to be found mywhere. Mr. J. C. Ellis bas a home fit for tbe gods. Dr. L. T. Hill bas a new borne of size, style eauty to house a company of angels, when u faot tbere is any one in sight. Dr. Neuffer is building as pretty a borne as ver graced main street or gratified vanity of arthly mortals or sheltered tbe best woman n eartb. Captain L. W. White has Just moved out of Is ;old mansion that waB once the biggest ouse in town, and housed in former years as a later days,'as bonest and as true a man s Abbevlle ever bad, And tben^tbereis tbe bouse of Mr. L. T. liller down Main street. The flat tin roof ouse w bleb now shelters blm, will disappear nd a splendid stately mansion will rise om Its foundations. Mr. Miller is an honest ian, and a ^prospering merchant, who de Brves tbe good things which are coming to lm. His modesty and unostentatious disobUIou bas disarmed envy and every body 9 pleased at bis success. If we were to attempt to speak specially or ersonaliy of tbe nice stores, tbe splendid locks and tbe good merchants, we would be lore puzzled than the girl with many lovers, rlth any one of wbom sbe could be bappy If He other dear charmers were not present, f then too many lovers puzzle a maid, rhat would become of a newspaper with osts of friends, all of wbom it would speak i the superlative. This newspaper oan only peak of all, and commend each and all to j ae good graoes ot tbe buying publio, who | re sure to be well treated. i ? i ] .. l Automobile*. The world moves, and men must travel fas ] sr than they did In olden times. th? automobiles which are advertised by lates-Tannahlll Co., of Greenville, are up-to- ' ate and answer all the requirements of .a leasant journey and a quick transit. Tbey re coming to stay, and when we learn of tbe omtort, convenience and elegance of sucb lachlnes we will travel In no otber way. bis machine Is especially adapted for travel ] ver tbe roads wblob Capt. Nickels Is now uildlng. The only trouble Is, wben a lover akes bis best girl to ride, tbere are no roads a Abbeville county long enough to give tbe aterested parties all tbe fresb air tbey may eed. Our roads are good enough, but tbey re not long enough for lovers. ?... .? ] Another Abbeville Man Killed. A telegram received at Abbeville yesterday nnounces tbe death of J. H. Bass of this vl- , lnlty, which sad event occurred on tbe | outbern Railroad last Monday evening near ' hattanooga, Tenn. Mr. Bass was a son of be late John Bass of this vicinity. He was nmarrled and about 27 years of age. Mr. , lass bad been fireman on the englDe for < bout five months berore the accident whloh nded his days.

Wafting to Welcome Yon, and to Serve You Under Tbeir Own Vine and Fig Tree. Messrs. L.T. & T.M. Miller have moved Into tbelr new store room next door to McDlll's furniture store. The room has been worked over from lop to bottom, and from front to rear, the Whole presenting an appearance spick and span. The shelving Is new. Some of the counters are of glass and as clear as crystal, wblte other counters are of immaculate white, and upon the most improved plans, furnished with revolving boxes or balanced bins, from which the customer Is served, and from which the dust Is excluded, bo tbat when a man buys goods of Messrs. L. T. & T. M. Miller he may rest assured that he will not be served to rations of sand ana dust. Jle that buys eggs buys shells, he tbat buys fish buys bones, be tbat buys land buys stones, but be that buys goods lrom the Messrs. Miller gets nothing else. Letter to J. Fraser Lyon. Abbeville, S. C. Dear Sir: As your business Is to get people 1 . > ?4. ~0 i?a?kio onnnnoo rnn nnnsitler rniu ana uut ui nuuuiv( nuj/j/uWW their paint; It makes 'em almost as much 1 trouble as money, except of course matrimony. They buy poor paint a good deal: they don't mean to; they don't know any better; they buy without thinking. Bad paint Isn't good. It looks good-enough for a year; then begins to get rusty; but changes so slowly, one don't notice It. Looking Isn't all. The business of paint Is ' to keep a bouse dry Inside, the wood and Iron < of It; keep It from rotting and rusting. Takes good paint to do it. Good and bad paint are sold at one price or < about that. One can't go by the price at all; is with lawyers, the price has nothing to do with goodness or badness; and costs are worse 1 yet; the painter and sheriff come-in for their share. But the probability Is that a man, who paints Devoe, will oome-out on top. i Yours truly. 16 F. W. Devoe & Co. < P. 8. P. B. Speed sells our paint.

Most of the marriages arranged by mnfph-mftkfirs turn out misfits. Don't accept a bald head as a badge >f wisdom without investigation. If it wasn't for the fool luck of the fool he wouldn't have the money to part with. A ball-headed man can't lose any:hing by trying a new patent hair restorer. u People may not think you a fool, yet :hey may not be in a position to deny tIt's awful handicap for a girl to have i younger sister who is a real beauty. It's a pity that a miser who has aaoney to burn can't take it with him when he dies. During leap year every eligible poung man should be equipped with i chaperon. A bachelor is known by the company he keeps and a married man by hp clothes his wife wears. The average man's idea of a business ransaction is one in which he gets the jest of the bargain. When you see a boy with long curls t'9 a safe bet that his father isn't the vhole thing around the house. Slow & Sure may not make as much loise in the business world as Hurry c Flurry, but usually Slow <& Sure is he firm with the longest credit at the lank. No two of us look alike nor can two f us think alike.
