gv k " The Press and Banner, BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. / c**-Publ!shed every Wednesdp at 52 i year In advanoe. Wednesday, June 1,1904. C'hnDce of Ownership. I have sold to Messrs. W. \V. Kradley anc W. R. Bradley the Press and banner, Including everything connected with the ollice, ex cept the accounts for Job prlntlDg and adver tlslng, and this is the last publication of th< papoi uuuu ujj w tt u v 11_> u | By agreement I am to continue to take pari In tbe editorial work. Tbe new owners ot tbe Press anil Bannei are members of one of the oldest and mosi honored famalles In Abbeville County, an?J being well known to everybody, they need nc introduction from me. Tbelr high character their good education and their excellent bus lness quallflcatians eminently fit them foi the duties which they have assumed. Thej will made the newspaper better, and thej will bring a larger success to the business de partment of tbe office. In making this sale, I do not take leave ol the people whom I have so long tried tc serve. I will continue In the office, but my duties In tbe same will be very much less than heretofore. After a service of forty-five years, I am tired, and seek relief from the greater por Hon of tbe work which I have been doing. I am grateful to the good people of Abbeville County for whatever success I have achieved, and trust that they will accord tc my successors the opportunity to Berve them more efficiently and more acceptably than ] have done. The consciousness of being weary at the work in wbioh I have long labored with pride and pleasure, brings feelings which I need * not try to express, but In my latest breath J 1 -* ??? ?*>*? r?t-otlfuHo 1 rv the WUUIU unwouvw IV ?V V?good people who have excused my faults, encouraged my virtues, and been true to me during all of the years of my connection with the paper. No man ever had more sincere friends among a better people. The Messrs. Bradley will make a better newspaper than I have made, and the public will be the gainers by the change. Hugh Wilson. ? ; After the present i6sue of the Abbeville Press and Banner the active management ol the paper will devolve on us. We are inexperienced In newspaper work but we hope through the assistance of the retiring Editor, Mr. Wilson, to so conduct the policy and business of the paper as to sub? serve tne best interests of the public. We'.respectfully ask of the people of the County a continuance of the goodwill which has been accorded to the Press and Banner durfng the long years of Its existence. We Bhall use every eflort to make the paper attractive to its readers, and useful to the community generally. W. W. Bradley. W.R. Bradley. Cleanliness Next to Godliness?Health Better than Sickness. t The city council of Abbeville haB done, and is doing, much to benefit the town in various ways. Not the least of their efforts 1b directed to the preservation of the health of thepeo pie. In this labor for the heaHhfalness or the town they ask your co-oper&tlon. In farther* ance of the work along this line the olty inspector of lots will make his rounds next week, and will examine your lot to see that you are not permitting the presence of disease-producing filth. The hot weather makes It Imperative that every lot owner shall do his part, not only in preserving his own health, but in protecting the life of his neighbor. The presence of hog pens is, as a rule, a menace to the health of a city, and such ln' closures, if found, will be examined with care. The faot is, that all the four-legged hogs should be banished from the city. The other kind of hogs is as much as we need. The olty council is so much in earnest about the cleanliness of the city, that if your lot is In a filthy condition, the mayor and wardens will help you clean it, or will ask your presence at a meeting of the Counoil to explain your neglect. The cost of cleaning premises is so much less than the cost of physicians, trained nurieB and funeral expenses that you will readily see the wisdom and the loreslght ol the city fathers in looking alter the health of the people at the very first approach of hot weather. Abbeville has to maintain a reputation as n health resort and no fever should be allowed. Fever does not come uninvited, but when it does come it often brings the most unwelcome of all guests?Death. Though lan Editor, a Man May Be a Gentleman. We have long contended that an editor might be a gentleman, and now we have proof positive that editors may conduct them? selves bo as to demand the respert of the general reader. For several days the State and the Record of Columbia have been disoussiog the proposed water supply for the city, and, as far as we have seen, that discussion has been conducted on a high plane, and from which has been excluded all personalities that could give offence to either the contestants or to the read ere 01 me papers, would that all subjects might be discussed in the same courteous and respectful way. The example 1b worthy of emulation. If the brethren would permit an outsider to speak who haB no personal Interest in the matter we would remark : First?If good water 1b the objeot, then no doubtful method should be adopted. Pure water Is certainly better than flltby water, no matter how much we may etraln it, or wash It. If, by any accident, the dirty water, carrying the disease-producing germB should be allowed to run through the mains for a single day, It might require ten years to get the mains clean again. Second?If economy Is theobject, then build no water-works. Third?If good water is the object, then take uu rie&B, uul get lub oem reguraiess 01 me cost. Com in en c em o n t. Commencement at Due West takes place next Tuesday and Wednesday. Interesting exercises begin on Friday of this week. The commencements at Dae West, always combine to mafce tbe most Interesting event of the year In this County. Great multitudes of educated Christian people assemble there every year, and they return to their various homes after having received new inspiration to greater and nobler efforts toward, the higher and tbe better at tainments of life. The meeting of these good people is obliged to be beneficial to all. For a day of unalloyed pleasure, with the entire absence of other tban the best and the most refining influences, go to Due West Commencement. The literary attainments ol tbe young gentlemen, emphasized by their exemplary bearing, together wlthltheculture, the accomplishment, and the modesty of the young ladles furnish an object lesson In the elevating Influence of Christian Colleges. But If you are indifferent to all these things it it still a most delightful occasion where we may meet all onr friends. As Iron sharpeneth iron, so doth|thecountenance of a man's friend. fi l_ III ? Sensitive. 1 Our good friend and neighbor the News and : Courier Is sensitive on the subject of section-j allsm aDd the war. as evidenced a hundred << times, and especially in discussing Koose: veil's speech at Gettysburg. Why not let Koosevelt have ble say? If , anybody will examine the proceedings of the I, Secession convention he will find therein the j causes ol the war fully set out. It Is useless I . for us at this late day to try to hide the iacts i that brought on the war. We are not ashnm-1 ed. and need not apologise now. ; No soldier on earth ever acquitted himself , better than did the Confederate soldier. We do uot object to the word "Uebel." It Is 1 a better word and more definite in Its mean lng than "Confederate." Confederate may be of doubtful meaninc. but who can doubt the meaning of Rebel. We rebel against a wrong. 3 We may go into a confederacy to do wrong. In many respects the Confederate soldier and t his friends have been treated with great consideration by the National Government, r Take, for instance, the dedication of CbickaI mauga Park. It was dedicated to American l wlttiniif reference to the side <111 which > the soldier fought. The resolution looking , to this act of magnanimity was introduced < Into both houses of Congress at a time when a r eiDgle objection would have defeated the proposition. We think as a brave and soldiery people we . should not deny the causes of the war. To do so, looks too much as If we were ashamed of f the fact that we fought for our rights, without > apologies to anybody. Good Feeling; Between t'liarleston jukI (help Country. In the meeting of the Democratic Stale Coventlon Mayor Itbett of Charleston,, was ' elected delegate to the National Democratic Convention. ' While the present good feeling Is a matter 1 of congratulation, the Press and Banner is of opinion that It is well to recognize the fact, without raking up old things, or recalling 1 memories of the past. All of the up-country ( would be proud to kuow that, Charleston In feeling and In touch of the elbow, feels that she Is a part of the State, and that the ' old city recognizes the mountain folk as peo' pie, or as men and brethren. Then why should the p>ews and Courier not see the existing inclination of all the people to get ! together? Why should reference be had to old things? Why not let Dast differences, or former grievances be forgotten forever ? If Charleston could let the fact filter into her brain that there are good men in the upcountry, and that a mountaineer may be a gentleman, even though he does not eat boiled rice and raw fiddlers, this old world . would rock along much better. If the up-country and Charleston should get together, let us all be happy. Don't dig up old skeletons or revise unpleasant memories. In supreme moments or former days the J up-country and Charleston have stood to- j getber, shoulder to shoulder. Then why i should we stand apart today because of trifles? ( Conic posh man Aiken's Good Work tor < a I>isablo<l Soldier. j Through the unremitting efforts of Hon. i Wyatt Aiken, Mr. Louis B. Lovelace, of New- ] berry, has been placed on the pension roll, with an allowance of S14 per month. Mr. Lovelace served in the Cuban war, CoS First S. C. Regiment, and while in the ser- | vice became a physical wreck. He was kept i out or his pension on technical grounds for 1 quite a while and secured it at last, through , Mr. Aiken's influence with the Pension Com- I mittee of which be is a member. The back pay amounts to ?504. ??>? Death of James A. Iloyt. On last Friday afternoon at three o'clock James A. Hoyt, one of the oldest as well as one of the best known 1 and most honored editors in South . Carolina, died at bis home in Greenville, aged 67 years. In 1855 Mr. T. B. Crews was foreman of the Laurensville Herald office. Mr. James A. Hoyt and this writer were printers in the ottice at the time. A friendship sprang up between these three that has ever since bound this writer to the others, and in Col. Hoyt's death a heart-felt loss is realized. Col. Hoyt was active along all the lines of good citizenship, and his influence for good was gentle and farreaching. In duty towards God and man Col. Hoyt lived a blameless life, and in dying he leaves behind him tbe \ legacy of a clean record. From his J youth up to old age his private life was I correct. In all that looked to the welfare of the State or the people, Col. Hoyt always took an active part, and in every instance he threw the weight of his influence to the side of right as he saw it. In bis editorials Col. Hoyt has always been outspoken and clear in bis utterances, leaving no doubt as to wbere he stood. As editor and as citizen his upright course and his sincerity of purpose made their impress upon tbe press and the people of the State. In lieu of any sketch of his life that we might write, we copy from the State an excellent review of the useful n rwl li nnnroKln /?o rour urKinli Viuq inaf UUUU1?^V W.VV1 H"'VU ""-3 J""" ended.

Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they tuay be removed entirely; bones ure spliced ; pipes take the place of diseased sections ol veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wound", bruises, burns and like Injuries before inllamat.lon Bets in, which causes them to hem without maturation and in one-tnird the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's l'ain Balui acts on tills same principle. It Is an antiseptic and when applied to such Injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. Ii also allays the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to mentiou the inconvenience ?uid (-uttering'which such Injuries entail. For sale by U. A. Allliord, Abbeville. H. M.

C. 0 ~fl T IS WITH PLEASURE WE F: R announce the fact that we have effected arrangements by which weare prepared to conduct the business of the "County Mutual Benefit Association of America" in Abbeville Coun- g ty, independent of the Parent Asso- J ciatiou whose headquarters are at Union, S. C. The purpose of the Association is to = secure to the family of each member of the same who may die, one dollar ij for every member belonging to the As- i sociation at the time of his or her dentil. / The idea in cxlenso is to take one i thousand persons, men and women, ' bind them together in a business way / to help each other in time of need and i trouble. It is more like a family af- \ V-?.? -? nrtttf K! n/# aIqq Vaii nnlif / itili uiau aujr tuiu^ cioc. x vu uuij wm pay when one dies. If you join now i your first payment of ?3.50 pays you up until first of January, 1905, unless 9, we lose one of our members, when you i would be called on to pay one dollar \ and ten cents to replace the amount 9, paid out on account of the death claim i and expenses. \ It is unquestionably the cheapest in- 9. surauce khown of. You are receiving i insurance ar. actual cost. ; Any white persons between the ages 9, of eighteen and fifty-five, male or fe- j) male, may become a member of the j Association until the number of one 9. thousand be reached; after that no ^ one over thirty can get in, and he only : to replace a deceased member. If, f therefore, you are over thirty years of j age this is the only chance you will 'A have of joining. ^ You owe it to your family, you owe = it to yourself to provide something for their protection in case you^are taken ; away from them. Consider the matter, examine and study our plan, act promptly and let our agents write you up at once. Remember that this is purely a home institution ; the money to pay death claims is in the bank at this place, being always collected in advance of a death ; the claim paid immediately on notice of death of the member; no waiting sixty or ninety days, with ever so much "red tape" to be observed in order to collect a death claim ?and that the officers of ihe company are your own people.
