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

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.

;
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.

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

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.

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?

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

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.
Wonderful things are done lor the human
body by surgery. 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,

COUNTY MUTUAL

OF AMERICA. ?
Abbeville Division.
Abbeville, S. 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 /

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.
If there is any additional information
as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any of
XI ? - A ? 3 *1 111

take pleasure in explaining the same.
