cv; * 1 The Press and Banner. L 1 By W. W, and W. R. Bradley. HUGH WILSON. Editor. * ' ABBEVILLE, S. C. c .^Published every Wednesdp at. S2 a ' year In advance. ) Wednesday, June 22,1904. | Act Fairly, Gentlemen. i We oopy the following from the Charleston ' NewB and Conner: 1 "Endorse" the Dispensary.- "The State 1 "of South Carolina Hells whiskey to Its cltl"zens," says the Newberry Observer, "and ( "our fine young Governor and inanv others, "including some clergymen, 'endorse' the ( "dispensary. How then can a young man J "suppose that It Is wrong to buy a drink, even t ai a couege recepuou7 nuu nuuiu u?<c "gainsay 'thegreat moral institution?' " The dispensary has thrown off the mask, t however, and can no louger be regarded as a j "great moral Institution." It 1b a business enterprise, and Is run for the money that can 1 be made out of it principally, and for this r political uses to which it can be turned gen- . erally. "Our flue young Governor and many "others, Including some clergymen," would r not dream of "endorsing" bar rooms. If they l were in existence now, and it is hard to un- , derstand why they should give their approval to the saloons which are run by the State, not r for the promotion of temperance, but for the c making of revenue. At the Democratic primaries all over the State this summer, the candidates for mem- ( bere of the Legislature ought to be required t to express their views for or against the dls- . pensary system as it is now controlled and directed. ' Upon which the Press and Banner would i remark : None are so bllud as those who are 1 determined not to see. And none seem more ? anxious to be unfair than those who, for 1 whatever reason, may oppose the dispensary. ? When prohibitionists and license men join t hands to make common cause against the dls- t pensary we are reminded of the fact that pol- f ltics make strange bedfellows. 1 The Newberry Observer, we presume, would t stop the sale of liquor, while we have no c doubt that the News and Courier would be willing to grant license to the men in Char- t leston who are now defying a law of the Gov- a ernment under which they live. t The Observer recognizes the fact that "our c flne young Governor and many others, in t eluding someolergymen, -endorse' thedispen- r gary. The Governor, and many others, in- e eluding some preachers," whose Intelligence, t gOOU Cilarauiic^ttuu BUUIJCI^ IB uut LIS UO 4UCO* fc tloned. These good men endorse the dispeD. ' Bary for one reason at least. It furnishes pro- ' hlbltlon tor half of the twenty-four hours ol 1 the day, and all of Sunday. It closes the r drinking saloons. - If oar temperance contemporary would nrge upon individuals the Importance of ob Uinlng from the use of Intoxicating drinks as a beverage greater good would result from 4 such a course than oan come from any system u ol stating only half the facts about the dispensary. Of course license papers are glad to quote temperance men as against the dispensary. The unholy alliance is what surprises us. When, before thl>, did prohibitionists JoId , with the license men in a liquor flght? Or, when did lloense men join problbltlonists ? Tbe News and Courier says it is hard to un- t derstand why they, the Governor and other j temperance men "should give their approval F to the saloons which are run by the State." 'f We presume the News and Courier by "saloons" has reference to the dispensary. II n that paper will refer to its dictionaries it will ] learn that the dispensary Is, distinctly and 1 clearly, not a saloon, and could not be so termed except for the purpose of imposing j. upon the ignorant. s As to requiring candidates for tbe Legislature to express their views lor or against tbe [ dispensary: There can be no objection to t such a course. Tbe combination of liquor men and prohibitionists, would, in all probability meet defeat in every county. If they, In a common cause, should abolish the dispensary, the license men would immediately turn np on their unnatural allies, and beat the innocent gudgeons out of their boots. It is hard for us to believe that any sincere prohibitionist would go into the camp of tbe enemy and consort with the liquor men. But N the conviction is forced upon us that liquor men and prohibitionists are making common cause in their warlare on the dlspenuary. Kaolin Fire Brick. There are acres and miles of kaolin bedtnear Abbeville. If they are of sufficient purity to warrant the establishment of fire brick kllnB the Investors could And a profitable business which would result in good to all theoommunlty. Mr. J. L. McMillan makes the best of brick , for building, and If be wou.d make fire brlcfe at tbe same cost and sell them at double price of ordinary brick somebody would get rich. The demand for fire brick at S10 a thousand, we are told Is lnexbaustable. If Mr. McMillan would look into this matter he might make a fortune by combining labor, water and fire with tbe kaolin that Is to be found In great quantities hereabout. A Fine Opportunity for a Young Han. The South Carolina College offers scholarships In the Normal Department to two youDg men from each county. Each sobolar- , ship is worth ?40 Id money, besides remission 1 of 840 tuition and SIS matriculation or "term" I fee. The money 1b paid at the rate of S5 a month for eight months, to assist in meeting the necessary living expenses. ' Examination will be held Friday, July Sth, before the County Board of Education.

Wyatt Aiken, has established < two new rural routes from Abbeville and one t from McCormick. ] No doubt the people will feel grateful to Mr. j Aiken for his untiring eflorts in establishing j these routes, especially since they have been i turned down by the department on previous i occasions. < The Abbeville routes will be effective July i 15th, and are as follows: ( route no. 4.

Pension Crop in Doubtful Male*. There la considerable comment just now touching the alleged use of pension funds 1>j the administration for political purposes., The order under fire, known generally ai order No. 73, was issued in the spring of thli year at the instance of President Roosevelt the versatile President therein playing the role of legislator. It provides that "every Federal veteran <>: pears of age shall be entitled to a pension o ?<; a month ; r,.r> years of ago ?s; r.s years of ug< 510, aud"0 years of age SI- a monlh, Micagt limit to be accepted as sntiicinnt evidence oi lisabllity." This is termed "a service pension." Some canting Democrats, especially hert imongst the Philistines where manna doef not fall in heaps, are uncharitable enough tc say "that the funds arising from this order ire being used for the political persuasion oi reterans in the doubtful States." It is said that the claims of widows, witii lords of dependent orphans of all ages and conditions, are being held up while those oi he ballot wielding veteran are "privileged" ind receive immediate consideration. It Is, of course, uncharitable to suppose t lint he Republicans would, if they could, une thif and for political purposes, aud it is still nore uncharitable to suppose that the adninlstration had this object in view In pnssng the order in an election yeir. It. is a nere coincidence with no significance, but it ias un fortunately put the admin islrailo'n tc ome trouble in explaining certain alleged ush orders as to pensions of this character in loubtful States. Democrats are born kickers anyway. They ibject to feeding trusts at the government auie ; mey want 10 wunurnw uieir jjrinoi;ion lrom "lnlant industries" scarcely gray vlth age, and they tblnk SGGO.OOO.OOO expended n taking and retaining our leland possessions lownright entravagance. They have always sondeinned the Republicans for levying trlblte on Wall Street for campaign purposes; ind now they have the hardihood to say that he Republicans should not use Uncle Sam's reasury to further their interests in doubt ul States. There have been family quarrels n these doubtful States, and who will say bat It is wrong to try to bring about a reconciliation. Democrats have antiquated notions ofelecIon methods, and hence they can not fully ippreciate the importance bt unity and >rotherly love in the opposing party. They lo not realize the good that will follow the ilstribution of this money amongst grateful >en6lonerB in sections where it is most needd. Surely they would not stay the adminisration in such an act of benevolence or deny he pensioner the opportunity of rememberng the kindness in his own humble way. It s only a little remembrance direct from the 'resident to his friends, and we should not eBtrlct him in the selection of those friends. A Picnic! nt Knpley Shoals.

The Furniture Factory, itcps Taken Looking; to the CIonIdk of the BiinIiicnn, It has been known for months that the Abbeville Furniture Factory Company has leen In ao embarrassed condttlon. It is now (roposed to wlod up the airairs of the com >any by putting the plant Into the hands if receivers for the purpose of selling It and >aylug the debts now hanging over-it. About two years ago the plant was put in iperation without having a working capital. ?o secure the necessary funds with which to uo the concern, the directors with the Presdent signed notes to the banks lor large sums, nd when the banks In Abbeville were slow ? lonh mrtro Pp^Blrlont _T r RIqIta hnrrnwefl noney inCo'umbia, which lattefamount was oou expended in an unprofitable business. The directors were then unwilling to furher pledge their private estates as security or more money, the plant was run on short lme and a system of liquidation was Inauguated. The process of liquidation was con tinled until the debts were reduced to about 20,000. The plant wars then stopped and an igreement among the stock holders was enered into whereby consent was given for the ale of the plant ou last sale day, Juue 6ih. At that time the plant and the furnishings, >r the supplies on hand, were bid off by Mr. F. Cromer at S19.000. The money has not been paid, and now Mr. I.E.Cox one of the directors and one ol hesuretleson the notesof the factory through lis attorneys F. B. Gary and J. F. Lyou asks iourt to appoint Messrs. \V. D. Barksdijle, L R. Blake and John A. Harris as receiver* o wind up the affairs of the company. To this action Mr. S. F. Cromer, through lis attorney \V. 21. Ciraydon, Esq., objects on rarlous grounds, chief of which is, tnat the :ompany is not Insolvent. The securities reDiy that they are willing to ake less than 119,000 for the outtit and tbeu my the deficit out of their own pockets. Considering the amount invested in the ilant it was one of the best Institutions In altn T ? a/va* n nt Ia.h llwin C'lH C\fM I UtJUllj. it wnv a iiatuuu jrnn iuai. ct?u,wu md pave employment to from sixty to leventy Ave people. Its presence was a bene'actlon.and Its closing was a hardship on ,be men who were depending upon it for their ially bread. The failure of the enterprize has been a ;reat hardship ou the public spirited citizens who not only invested their money, but jlaced their private estates in jeopardy by jecoming surety for tbe concern. As we understand, the facts are about in his way: 1. The plant is a good one, and tbe business, if properly run, is a profitable one. 2, Inexperienced men were put in charge >f the plant, and however much they were nterested and however good their intentions the inevitable result came. 8. Furniture was sold below the cost of nanufacture. 4. More energy was expended in manufacturing than in selling goods. 5. This necessitated the borrowing of more noney.and the increased Interest hastened he day of reckoning. As to our belief: Tbe plant is a good one, ind for an experienced furniture manufacturer an excellent opportunity 1r offered for nvestmet. Almost any legitimate business >roperly managed will pay. but this plant jflers exceptional opportunities. About those who have been hurt: All the stockholders were hurt in tbe same iroportion, or according to the number of ibares which they held. The securities, in addition to their loss as stockholders, will have to pay their prorata ibare of tbe deficit. Mr. S. F. Cromer is the largest stockholder, Mr. J. R. Blake is the next largest stockholler, and of course these gentlemen lose more :ban the others wno have smaller holdings. L'be stock, as far as we know, has no market yalue. Those of the sureties who are able to respond, are now more anxious about their liability than about their stock. The Court is expected to pass on the applljatlon for receivers today. The hearing was postponed from Monday until today ou account of the sickness of Mr. Gary, applicant's ittorney. Come to Ike Summer School.

The longer I live the more I see of suffering und complaining humanity, the more I wish that I could persuade everyone to follow the threeAjuarters of an hour a day system of physical exercises. Where the best doctors fail these exercises will succeed, if they are persisted in. But the curse of laziness, which makes so many thousand of peevish invalids, must be combated. Will power must .be used. Regularity must be observed. The task must be a daily one, and to doit will requieresolution. Another mistake people fall into is, weak persons?especially weak women?cannot attempt tne exercises; mai oeiore you oegiu mem at an you mu9t be fairly strong. This is all nonsense. The weaker you are the more necessary is it for you to begin the physical culture without delay. If you feel languid and inclined to be incessantly on the sofa; if your back bends like a reed in the wind, and you can scarcely raise your stick-like arms above your aching head, you are the very persons who ought to doexercities; of course in strict moderation at first, and under directions from some one who knows your physical condition and your age. It does not matter if you are middle aged, if you are unyieldy fat, if you are scant of breadth / , and given to flushings, vapore find tremblings. Start the exercises and stick to them. I perpetually hear people complaining of indigestion. This horrible maladay?specially horrible because of its disastrous effect upon the mind and temper?can be entirely done away with in a comparatively short time by the right kind of exercises. I proved that in my case after ten years of almost perpetual misery from what was called cnromc dyspepsia. Anything comparatively simple and sanely natural is laughed ai or feared by many modern men and women. The cult of complexity has them, in thrall. A chest expanded, a pair of dumb-bells, an "exerciser," one or two weights, these things are too cheap and ordinary to be believed in. As to the innumerable and superbly healthy exer cises one can do without any applinnoe at all in one's bedroom at night and morning?they of course are for school ' boys, not for weary, yellow, wrinkled ones "of a certain age," and probably almost uncertain temper.
