Expressing very great respect lor those whn dlffur in onlnlon from B6. aD(J with the perfect knowledge that we may have all the vials of wrath opened over our head, we venture to suggest to our neighbors of Greenwood, that It may be possible for newspaper writers, or editors or grand Juries to do a great Injustice to tbelr own community by parading before the public the exceptional v cases of sin, Immorality or violations of law. Speaking for the Press and Banner, we have no Interest In this matter at all except our regret that the faults, the foibles, or the sins, of a good community should be so often held up to public notice. Even If we do not hide the fault we see, It Is sometimes right to be a little blind as well as a little deaf. Are there not honest men and good women about Greenwood worthy of notice? If so, why not let us hear something of them, and less about liquor and blind tigers and gambling and immorality ? Are there no churches, no preachers, no godly men and women working for the uplifting of the community? If so, why not make mention of the fact occasionally and give less conspicuous space to the details ol the evil which is done. Are there not men in Greenwood who are living honorable and boDest lives? If so, why not let us hear something of them, and less ol those wboBe dally conduct does not come up to the best standards ? The Greenwood Journal for Instance, last week, bad an editorial which, from our view point, was well meant, but which was In reality a reflection on the city In which the paper Is printed. It commended the jury for doing Its duty In convicting: a man charged with immorality. Has it come to tbls that a Jury is to be commended for conviction in such cases? Were the parties vrho were convicted, of such social standing in Greenwood that It required an unusual amount of courage to enable them to give a true verdict ? While the offence for which he was convlcted may have been kn.wn to people thereabout, yet people abroad bad not beard of it But the Journal conv'cts th( community of having condoned the offense for thirty or forty years. The editorial oom ment gave emphasis to the fact that one ol her citizens bad defied publlo sentiment for ft generation. The tenor of tbe editorial may also be said to create tbe Impression abroad tbat tbe oonvlcted man was a citizen or such influence and power tbat tbe Jury oould not bave been expected to convict botb tbe defendant citizen and tbe offended community. We bave no idea tbat tbe entity one was a leader of oclety, or a oburcb worker, or even anything higher than a prohibitionist. Bat we believe prohibitionists generally claim to be tbe very best of all tbe earth's produota. According toour conception ol tbe province or duty of a newspaper, tbe good should be the Ideal, tbe weak should be encouraged to do the right, while tbe erring and tbe down fallen, as far as tbe public gcod will permit, should be dealt with in mercy and In kindness. Tbe assailing of cbaracter is no part of the duty of a Jouranallst. Character is too sacred to be wantonly destroyed or recklessly assailed. It Is the duty of the newspapers to sustain whatever Is good, to give encourage ment to holiness and pureness of living. It Is not the editor's duty to scour the slums and flaunt their filth in the eyes of the publlo. The days of martyrdom have past and the persecution of the erring Is not the duty ol the editor. Even a convict has rights which an editor should respect. If we were to pass Judgment upon the published matter about Greenwood for the last lew years, we would Bay: I. That the enterprise and the public spirit of her citizens have received due and proper recognition. S. That the filth, the tin, and the liquor dealing in and about the city has had too much prominence. 8. That the purity, the holiness and the better lives of its good people have not been made as conspicuous before the public as have been the exceptional cases of evil. 4. That the good name of the city of Green' wood has suffered because of the undue promlnenoe which has been given to evil doers. Trusting that our neighbors may accept our comment in the spirit in which it is made, the matter Is with them. I ^ I The Peoples Bank. The doors of the Peoples Band have been opened for several days, and the business prospect Is more encouraging than Its most anguine friends had expected it would be. Although the demand for stock has exceeded tbe limits that were authorized by law, the officers and directors have concluded to Bell not more than 822,500 worth of Btock. Tbe deposits, and tbe depositors, have been all that tbe officers could expect. The bank Is situated In tbe building where Mr. Miller did business bo long, and it is regarded as one of tbe best locations in town. Hosts of friends will do business in the Peoples Bank, and its success is assured. Both tbe President and the Cashier are good business men, whose careers up to this time in life. ha.v? hoAn . u; UUUIIUUUUB UDU Increasing success. Each having been successful for himself along different lines, their combined efforts may be relied upon to bring tbe bank, and Its friends, successfully to a haven of safely and to tbe most satisfactory results. The Peoples Bank has in its vaults not only liberal amount of ready cash, but It nas a reserved In New York, upon which draft may be made at any time, as occasion mav reaulre. The President and Cashier being among our most successful men, the Peoples Bank cannot do otherwise than succeed. Cleveland. There has been recent talk of the nomination of Cleveland for President. We are not Informed If there exists a desire to nominate him. We do not believe that a baker's dozen really want Grover again. He wouldn't stand the ghost of a chance of election. Personally, the Press and Banner does not want him. Pensions. SoldierB In the Cuban war have been receiving pensions for Injuries received. Mr G. H. Mcore, eays he w'll get bis pension yet even If for nothing more than for his services In the DarllDgton war. Letter to B. M. Haddon & Co. Abbeville, 8. C. Dear Sirs: Thomas J. Benton, druggist.

He has promised us ^ dots occasionally from the gold fields of Ab beville which will we kDow be of Interest to * tbe readers of the Fressand Banner. Wi Farmers along Route No. 3 are hustling gt| these pretty days, and are getting tbelr lands iu fine shape and will commence planting ' cotton next week. lni Small grain continues to grow and look j promising just now. The fall and spring seasons have been ex- an ceedingly fine for farm work, and a lot of it ,bi has been done by the farmers who knew their n business. We don't bear much about corn planting, but we hope our farmers are looking welt to this staff of life and will give it plenty or room and that too on tbe best land of the farm. With cribs filled with corn, fodder and shucks we have fat stock and cattle and are In a great measurt independent as far a6 hog and hominy are concerned. DrVPTT PATVTC WPPU! A "WT? TTTWRT?

A A GOOD SOCIETY. gpt A good lady on Magazine Hill has Just or- ^ ganized a society among the little boys to be Known ao the Paiuieilo Goud Mural Society. 01. The object of the society is to instruct them " in good morals, to prevent their taking God's uame in vain, the using of profane language giving them to leel that a higher and nobler / life Is tbelrs if they will strive l'or It. Monthly meetings will be held, refeshments served, 011 games, etc., to make the meetings Interesting will be arranged. This Is a good move for (he boys who wish to make good, noble and use- 1 ful men. afi Ine 1 mrr /\T> UOO T*r TAtfT OMTTTJ | 1 n Uf -u.rvo* tt gvoij QA11UI J On labt Friday afternoon, April 8tb, 1904. [j"? about 8 o'clock the gentle spirit of this good . Christian woman, winged lis way Into the (h" bright, beautiful home beyond the sun set's p., radiant glow, that beautiful home ot the soul J where all la joy aDd peace. j" The death of Mrs. Smith waa a 6hock to f many of her friends, her Illness being of Ll. shoit duration, less than two weeks. The deceased waa the beloved wife of our townsman , Mr. W. Joel Smith and was esteemed by . every one for bpr beautiful, gentle Christian . ? character, her life being lull of good work, as she went about doing good whenever and [ wherever an opportunity offered. , * She possessed many beautiful traits of char- ; actor which manllested themselves In her \ every day llle, by which gained access into f,"' tbe hearts of hosts of friends who now sin- ? cerely moorn her departure. , The death of Mrs. Smith brings sorrow and h i sadness to many hearts and homes in this ^ ' community aa she bad a large connection In , , Abbeville, going back to some of the oldest of * our citizens. During ber short illness the best medical Co| skill was employed, uud all that willing ^ hands and loving hearts could do and sug- , gest, could not arrest or 6tay the band of the w Angel Reaper, wbo claimed ber as a bright % trophy released from ber life's work on earib, Mfi to utgln anew a llle of endless praise in ihut ? land where death never Invades, and loved ho, ones meet to Dart no more. y:" The funeral services were conducted on i A Sunday morning at 11 o'clock in the Pre6by- ? terlan church by the pastor, Rev.

This Is the Becond time that the Co rates have been raised.

In a llttla while the rates were raised. Now they are raised again. ? We have much water, and perhaps the A(J best organized Are company to be found any- go where, and our rates of insurance go higher ^ and higher. jj) j soi The Need of Electric Power. mj Now. when the town is prospering and when the outlook for the farm was never better, It oocurs to us that Rome one of the mortTr TTO111 o hla txr'ttor .irticorc In I I* 1 U should be developed for the delivery of elec- aft trie power to tbe city. ill The demand would no doubt be ut all times At greater than the supply. In fact, tbe demand would Increase with the increase of the sup- wo p'y. It might be to the advantase of the owners m, of power that Is now goiug to waste to look a into t'e matter. If they are r.ot in position a' to Improve their property, others might join ex] them, If a fair arrangment could be made. From a notice elsewhere in the Press and Banner it will be seen tbat Mr. Link of this city, would be glad to hear from the owners of valuable water powers. tic m< "" fri Good. be Two good things have occurred recently, ^ namely. 1.
