Wednesday, July 13, 1904. v"r Sumo of itip F.uter Drifting Towns ThHt Hnre Plank Shuttern on Their Templet* of Justice. We recently had the pleasure of a call from a gentleman who has journeyed much about the State. The Bubject of Court House windows came up, and we asked him If the habit of closing such windows with plank shutters prevailed to any extent. He quoted from memory, and we noted the names of the counties which he stated that had plank shutters on the windows of their Court Houses. Walterboro, he said, closed the down stairs windows with plank. Georgetown was another town that boasted of plank shutters. We asked him if the county officer* were not afraid that somebody might steal shutters when left so close to the ground. He replied: "Ob, no ; they are not worth stealing." Greenville was asked about. His memory was not exactly clear. He thought they had no shutters at all in their Court House win dows. He thought the holes in the walls thai were Intended for windows were used as holes through whjoh the people might spit. Our caller thinks Union has planks on the windows of an old time fellow. Walhalla Court House has been recently remodeled. His memory is not quite clear but he thinks the 6hutters were stolen during the transformation. Edgefield had old time plank on their win dows the last time he was in town but be bad no doubt that some enterprising gentleman bad made a Are ot them belore this time. Marlon and Klngstree have plank shutters on their Court Houses. We mention the names above to show that Abbeville is nrt theonly place on earth where the windows are closed by plank boards. Oar caller named a nnmber of towns that were building, or bad built, elegant new structures in which to hold court. If any oounty ever needed a new Court House, Abbeville is that county. If we do not wish to be classed with such counties as Greenville, Union ^pd Edgefield we had better get a move on us.

The Greenwood Journal was very properly acquitted of the charge of libel In publishing recently a statement In reference to the blind tiger business. When Juries convict of crime and acquit newspapers of Imaginary offenses the public peace Is safe. The Journal had done nothing for which It should be robbed through the legal processes of the Court. While we think the acquittal of the Greenwood Journal was proper, yet we think there are instances where newspapers should be punished. 81nce the anti-duelling law has gone into eflect too many newspapers have taken advantage of the situation to publish matter* which should not have appeared in print, and which would not have appeared in print, except for the anti-duelling law. In the old South Carolina the aggressor might expect to I'p # be asked to face a pistol at ten paces. This fact preserved decorum in the press, but now defamatory articles appear without fear Of punishment. But this will not always be so. And It should not be so now. The editor who assails the good name of another should be ' called to account and should be punished for disregard of the rights of others. Public sen tlment la now In its transition, and it will not be long until Juries will convict for assault upon one's good name* as readily as 11 the assault bad been made upon one's person A man's good name should be sacred from unjust and unprovoked attack. And the editor who Is Incompetent to conduct a discussion of any question without making direct charges against character or resorting to cowardly Insinuations should be taught a lesson In decency. TbePress and Banner hopes to see the day when public sentiment may warrant the injured party In appealing to the Courts for vindication. The day li nearly past for submitting to villainous charges from those who may be unscrupulous, or who and who may bave small regard for thtf sacredness of character. The assailing of character should be stopped. The Candidate's Shake. "Howdy howdy bow do you do? How Is your wife and bow are you?

BILLIOUSNESS IS DANGEROUS. When tbe bile Is not flowing freely into the bowels, It is taken up by the blood and is deposited in all parts of tbe body. Every important organ, lnfact every tissue of tbe body even to tbe skin layers, are affected by the poslon ladened bile. It saps the energy, dulls * the brain, weakens thelungsandkldneys&nd lavlteB disease germs. It affects the heart, stomach and bowels, causlDg marked functional disturbances that may result in disease. A bilious or Jaundiced condition of ibe system is very dangerous aDd stioulu be corrected at once. Rydale's Liver Tablets speedily cure biliousness. They act specifically on tbe liver, bile bladder, bile duct and tbe bowels They never fail to cure liver and bowel trou toles. Prloe per box, containing 50 tablets, 25 cents. C. A. ill I foul i The democrats have rant lots and the lot! has fallen on Parker. Parker lias been steadily gaining sterngh ever since he whs named as a candidate. And we predict that] he wiil give the strenuous ltoosevelt a close : race for the Presidency. The ereatest objection raised to Mr. Parker | In tnis part of the country Is that he does'nt talk, but we think this argues favorably for him. It would be very easy to talk aye more, It wonln be hard to keep from talking lor the ordinary man if he were in Parkers shoes. How he mauaged to keep quiet when talked of for the presidency, when he was beselged by reporters day by day, when It would have been so easy to make a speech and have it flash all over the land the next minute, we say it requires an extraordinary man to hold his tongue under such circumstances. Under such clrcumstruees most of us would have blabbed out our views to the first reporter that pulled a pencil. Had Parker done so he would have had to resign his Judgeship at once. That Parker can talk however has been'thoroughly demonstrated by the telegrum he sent the Convention in refereuce to the gold plunk in tbo plaUorm. When it becomes necessary lor the party to kuow where he stands, Parker Is not slow In Informing them, even at the risk of knocking the props ot his nomination from under him. Hurrah forjudge I'arker! The Democrats have been beaten so olten that they go at these National elections like a weary wlille would a wood pile, they don't seem to hope for any thing and therefore don't try to get any thing. Let them take their coats ofTand go at the fight like the republicans and the next President of the United States will be Judge Alton B. Parker. LOWNDESVILLE. ?

Miss Grace Proffilt of Laurens Is spending a wbile witb the Misses Kay. Tbe dwelling occupied for years by the late Mr. S. S. Baker during his life time was burned Tuesday evening. It was on the south eastern edged of the town limits, and a pan of It was one of the oldest houses in ibis section, was occupied by colored people. There seems to have been a strange fatality attending every one, so fur as is known to the writer, of the ante-bellum homesteads of those of our citizens having tbe financial ability add tbe taste to provide themselves witb good dwelling have had them burned very soon after negroes were put into them. All of such old buildings that have been and still are the homes of white people to date are safe. Mr. Will Adams of Starr was in this place on business Wednesday. Messrs. Moore and Kochester, In charge of a railroad forie, are filling ihe trestles and bridges ou this part of the Western Caroliua Railway running by this place. This step will save a great expense to the company as tbe parts of the road mentioned are soonest to rot down and far more liable to burn.

Mr. Gregg of Pendleton came down Saturday and began a several days meeting 'n Providence church yesterday at 11 a. m. Just alter theprenching services the administration of the Hacrament took place.

Mr. Arthur Speer of Monterey came up several days ago and is with his cousin, Mr. Gordon Speer. Mr. s. N. Bourne of Sampit camo up Saturday and is still here. Friday evening the drought stricken area, in part, including this place, was blessed with copious rains. 'They were decidedly the most wetting of any that we have bad since the first of March, and it can be imagined bow badly they were needed. At some places the rains were hard and washed the lands badly. Our R. F. D. men and others who were caught out bad rather exciting time in the ruin wltb the thunder, lightning and wind. Last week Joe Belcher, a well known colored man for years In these parts, wan adjudged insane and was carried to Columbia aod placed among the State's unfortunates in the asylum. Troupe. TROY. ?

I'urker Tlie Dcinocrnlic Nominee. Greenville Daily Herald. Esopus, X. Y., July 10.?In spite of the very unusual hour at which Judge Alton B. Parker retired this morning after the receipt of the news from St. Louis, he was prompt in his departure from church at Kingston today. He drove with Mrs. Parker to the Episcopal Mission Church of the Holy Cross at Kingston, of which his son-iu -law, Rev. Charles M. Hall, is rector. Mr. Hall has been attending the St. Louis convention and in his absence Dr. Cooper, rectar of the Church of St. John the Divine, of Hasbrouck Heights, N. J. conducted the services. Judge Parker assisted in taking up the collection. The sermon incuded no reference to matters eivic or political. After the service Dr. Cooper was asked if he had Judge Parker's silence in mind, in his reference to the eloquence in life rather than lips when he said: " It is not the eloquence of the lips that speak as loudly or counts for as much as the life itself of a man." The doctor smiled but declined to say. Judge Parker's visitors, John B. MacDonald aud Judge Hatch, remained with him until 3 a. m., receiving bulletins, and then departed for Xew York. This afternoon the democratic nominee for president spent his leisure time seated on his veranda with a number of friends. JtHlifC Parker'is Career. Born at Cortland, N. Y., May 14, 1S52.

Y., was ordered constructed today by the West Shore railroad for the increased business at that poiut anticipated because of the Judge,s nomination for the presidency by the Democratic national convention." His Mother In IMcnsed. Derby, (jonn., juiy iu. ? j ne news 01 Judge Parker's nomination was brought to his mother Saturday by a representative of the Associated Press. Tears welled up in her eyes and for a moment she could not speak. Then she said: "I had hoped if his ubmiuatiou was the be3t thing for the party that he would be named and now it his election is the best thing for the country I sincerely hope he will be elected. She said that Judge Parker was a personal friend of President Roosevelt and within a year or two had made him a visit at his Oyster Bay home. Mrs. Parker is SO years old aud lives with her daughter, Mrs. Hall. Esopus, N. Y., July 11.?Judge Parker last night sent the following telegram of congratulations to Henry G. Davis who was nominated for the vice- presidency. lI congratulate both you and the party upon your nomination for the office of vice-president." It is now known that Judge Parker's telegram to Mr. Sheehau, in which he declared his allegiance to the gold tiroo cjahf frAm Woofom TTn*. ^lauuaiu, rrao ocuv uum t? votvati w *i iou telegraph office at Esopus and the story of the.precautions tanen to keep it secret arip to verify its authenticity before it was delivered, constitute a remarkable chapter in the .story of this extraordinary political incident. Judge Parker's coachman, Robinson, took the original message to the West Shore station at Esopus at 11.30 yesterday, and delivered it to the Westejn* Union operator there with impress ive caution as to secrecy. The message was addressed to William F. Sheehan at the Jefferson hotel' St. Louis. Very soon aftar it had been sent, the superintendant of the Western Union Telegraph Company in New York called up the Esopus operator ami required bim to personally verify the original telegram by a visit to Judge Parker himself. The delivery of the message in St. Louis, it appears, was being delayed until the authenticity of the dispatch could be proved beyond question. The operator called Judge Parker's house on the telephone and insisted upon talking with the judue himself (whose voice he recognized), and told him of the situation. At Judge Parker's request the operator read the message to the judge aud upon the latter's assurance that it was all right, St. Louis recpived word to deliver it to Mr. Sheenau. Judge Parker had few visitors yesterday, Congressman Smith of this district, the Twenty-fourth, being the only caller iudentilied with politics. Among his telegrams of congratula tions topay was one from President David It. Francis of the St. Louis ..axposition, commending his position on the money question. Thejubge yesterday persisted in his refusal to discuss auy question in connection with his candidacy. We Wiin( to Know. Will some one please tell ns what has become of the fellow who had the ants that were going to eat up the hoi I vvpvilu in rIV>Y?a ? \\ a want tn know. The last time we heard of him was three or lour weeks ago. He was leaving Central America for Texas with a lot of ants, and was going to turn them loose upon the wevils. Since then we haven't heard a wordfrom him, and it does seem that it is time for him to be showing up somewhere. Did his ants get loose and force him to go back for another supply? Or did he run out of food crossing the wastes of Mexico and have to cat his auts? Or did his ants eat him ? These and many others fears harass us. We wish somebody would hud out what has become of the man and let us know. 'i ne man who says me worm isgniw ing worse should do something to clear his eyesight.
