The Press and Banner. By W, W. and W. E. Bradley. HUGH WILSON", K.dltor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. c Published every WeduesdF ?it S- a year tn advance. Wednesday, Aug. 17, 1904. Jik)k? I'tirkor'N Specch, Judge Alton B. Parker of Esopus, N'. Y., has been formerly notified of his nomination as Democratic candidate for President, and the Judge in a speech which has been variously estimated, has formally accepted the leadership of the Democratic hosts. Some of the newspapers regard his speech of acceptance as a great paper, while others express a more moderate opinion of Its merit. Speaking for this editor, and as far as we may, for this newspaper, we think It is a poor paper, speaking In platitudes, and In such vagueness of expression, as to be luke warm, neither hot nor cold. Only his position on the Filipino is clear. The bosh about needed reform means nothing. The talk about the enforcement of the law Is Idle and meaningless. Tbe talk of maintaining separately the executive, the judicial and tbe legislative departments is stereotype stuff that any und every politician may use at pleasure, and has used for time oul of mind. The tariff and the trusts are dealt with as they have been by others for about ten thousand times. The stereotype plates from which this part of Judge Parker's speech was taken are about worn out. And other re marks not only show lack of study or thought, but exhibit a shallowness of brain which should Dot be present in a President of the United States. Judge Parker's talk about trusts reminds us of a preacher who inveighed against the Catholics. A good old officer remonstrated. Next Sunday the preacher sailed into the liquor traffio. Another good old brother went forward and told the preacher that course would not do. The preacher perplexed at the situation, asked his churchman what he might attack next Sunday. The churchman told tbe preacher to abuse the Jews, they had nofrlends in tbat community. And so it is with the politicians. The trusts have no friends. But as a matter ot fact, trusts are as necessary as anything else iu iue uuwuiug ujj ui a tuuuirj, auu iiuiulug has contributed more than trusts. They may do wrong, bat a man does a foolish thing who condemns trusts unreservedly. Nobody cares a cent about the tariff. That subject should not be mentioned by the Democrats as long as we remember the disastrous results that followed Cleveland's tinkering with that branch of the government. The talk about monopoly Is as old as the hills and as fooll6h as an old granny's murmuring. That part of Judge Farker's speech which referB to the FlllplDO independence ought to seal bis doom, even If the other parts of hip speech were sensible and wise. This countr*? Is not ready for dlNlntegration. We have no record showing that Judge Parker was in favor of the independence ol the Confederate Government. The Southern people were, and are just a6 good as the Filipinos. The Idea that this Government should spend millions lo govern a loreign country, or ttiai It Is so lost to honor and to principle as to turn Its back on those who have sworn allegeance to the United States bo that the friends of this country might be slain by the outlaws of the Philippine Islands is too outrageous to receive respectlul consld. eratlon, from anybody who is worthy to be President. Any idea that we are not to take our place among the prwerful nations of the earth Is to throw away the greatest and tbe best acquisition of tbe past. As men should be men among men, so nations should be nations among nations. The beBt way to preserve the peace is to have a big navy. l'ne twaddle about peace and no armies Is rot. The taik about not wanting, or not accepting, a second term is childish and foolisb. Why the Democratic candidate should be unable to announce one aggressive principle is strange. He could do notblng else than, do as we have done In this piece, find fault. He had time to talk about the Filipino, but was as silent as the grave on tbe subject of the great canal, in which all this country is so much Interested. He didn't manifest any i luiciccb auuiu IUC yeu>uc wuu Udvc lived on the Lousiana purchase for a hundred years without representation In Congress. We hope tc Uve long enough to see In Washington, "the gentleman from Luzon." We all talk ol Thomas Jefferson as a guide Id constitutional affairs when it Is a matter of record that he evaded the constitution and and exceeded his authority in the Lousiana purchase. If Judge Parkar can be elected by throwing away, the Philippine Islands and by remaining; silent on the canal, the geatest problem now before the eyes of the worid. then God save the country. How to write a poorer speech, It is hard to conceive. Bought a Home. If we sometimes entertain agels unawares. It Is certain that we have amongst people with money, where we least expect to find It. A case in point. Last week a good wife and mother w 1th her husband and their children, bought a house and lot in town. The building is a brick structure and stands opposite the one mile post beyond the cotton mill from town. The buyer is Mrs. Mary Ella Edmonds, the wife of Mr. C. H. Edmonds. They and tbelr children have been employed at the cotton mill for several years. Mrs. Edmonds was made treasurer of the household, and she so carefully kept the money that no one knew how much she had. When the papers were made out for the house all were surprised at the ready cash which she produced. The household now have a nice home of their own, a home which they earned by honesi toll, and their friends extend good wishes for their health, for their happiness, and for their future success In life. Worthy children who will grow to become useful citizens contributed largely to the purchase, ana by their noble ellorts the remainder of the purchase money will be paid. The success of this people furnishes an object lesson. What they have done, others can do, if the proper effort is made. Quite a number of good peopla at the cotton mill have saved money and invested it in good property, which goes to show the value of maaulacturiug enterprises and further &bows that many a etrugling man or woman could gain a home, if only the opportunity for profitable and constant employment presented itself. We do not know how long Mrs. Edmonds has kept this money about her person, but the risk of losslng it was great. In these days money is much safer in any bank than it is about, the person of any body or in any truuk. As the law now stands |it is almost impossible for a depositor to lose bis money. All the stock of the bank is bound for it, and the stockholders can be made to pay an amount in cash equal to their stock before any depositor ean lose one cent. While we think everybody should iay by a little money for a rainy day, yet we think it is a mistake to keep it elsewhere than in a bank. i k I lie Wiriomiui Keniiion. About lf.0 years ago when peopl? from ill! parts Of Kurope were, striving to reach this country, there was born on the bosom of the V Atlantic, one, Adam Wldeman. His parents were seeking for themselves a new home In the wilds of undeveloped America, free from the conjestion of Europe's great Empire. As Adam was the first man according to J.( Holy wtit, Adam Wldeman was tho llrst " Widenian known to Wideman history and ho tho Widi'tnauK began their lutnily tree (l with "These aro the generation of Adam." I' The family tree Is now a large one. its ram- ' tlicatious reach Into many of tno States, as " far West as Texas the family has spread, and as far North as Missouri the inherited spirit * of their old fore father has led them to seek tor homes of greater latitude. On last Wednesday the 10th of August, at ^ the home of Mr. J. T. Bradley, a lineal descendant of "Adam," The Wldemans held a ^ family reunion. Not withstanding the fact that Slrlus the dog star, and the sun rose together that morniug there was no untlrnely rain to dampeu the spirit ol the family frolic. The weather was all that could be ? ) ? ihlll-U, p It is not related of "Adam," the lirst, that j lie was a humorous being; if be were not ^ then his wife must bave been Jester to ibe j conrt of Maria Theresa, for their descen- 1 dents 6ee ai.d erjoy the humorous side of life as keenly us any pioneer of America's ,r< past. 11 The day was spent in humorous recital . of the Wideman's foibks and follies and a iaughable circumstances conneoled with ^ their progenatorn. Many Jokes were retold at the expense of varius omsoltbe connec- ' tion. ' To the amusement of quite a number Boggs Wideman narrated a fow phases of . of bisllie In Florida, When a collard Is not a eollard," uud "What a man may hear at the . bottom of a Florida lake," etc, all of which proved deeply interesting to hlH hearers. The younger Wldemans had a gleeful time r, playing games aud frollcing undar the shady trees, and with each zephyr that blew came the rollicking laughter of contented little ? bands. Gallon upon gallon of lemonade . was made to quench the thirst of this merry gathering. ^ In summing up the leading characteristics ^ of these Wideman men and Wideman wo 1 men. we would say the -omen know how | r to cook, and the men know howto eat r Among the first play things of a tot of the ^ Wldeman blood are mud pies! and the j first toy they receive from their mothers to a ^ miniature cooking stove; and the acme o ^ misery with a young Widemau buck Is to j watt lor a second table whentbere Is com- j pany. f The array of good things In evidence at tblK reunion could not have been surpassed by _ old Epicurus himself. Barbecue hash made j after the pattern of the forties, and raised j cornbread to go with it. Ham, chicken, pies, tarts and two-story custard6 till the back of j the tables were bent low. cakes of every, de- t sclption and pickles of all varieties, and ( one quality for all?the best. A mong the representatives of families pre- (j sent were Dr. \V. L. Pressley, Dr. J. \V. Wide- s man, Mrs. S*llie Addison, Mrs. J. F. Bradley. Judge J. C. Klugh, Treas. W. T. Bradley,Capt. (] Jan.

It has been said that politics make strange bedfellows. And we believe the saying is { true. But the strangest of all bedfellows are * the gullible prohibitionists who form an alliance with the shrewd elements, which favor licensed saloons, to break up the dispensary. Senator Brlce, we believe, avows that his bill was Intended to break up the dispensary without object for the future. A trt,Jan j horse, so to speak. The Injustice of his bill as presented, In allowing counties which vote out the dispensary to share in tbe protits of tbe liquor, and j his failure to provide a scheme for raising (j money in those virtuous counties to enforce the dispensary law, revealed the injustice of j, his proposition, and the Legislature in its j wisdom, made proper provision both for the ^ enforcement of the law where there was no ^ dispensaries and for denying protits to such oouuties as did not have tbe dispensary. j, Tbe dispensary will be a source of trouble as long as the temperance men make au un- j holy alliance with the liquor element. 1 The prohibitionist who has a thimble full , of brains ought to know that the majority pi ^ the men alllgned with them are opposed to j. the dispensary and are In favor of the licensed sale of liquor in the bars. They ought to know that their natural allies are temperance people, and not liquor advocates. ^ They ought to know that if they could, by an alliance with the liquor men, overthrow tbe dispensary, that the liquor men would ^ Immediately establish another plan for sell" Ing liquor. They ought to recognize the fuel that the C dispensary giveB prohibition from sunset to sunrise. They ought to know that under any other ^ plan of dealing with liquor, the night time jj was the most fruitful of evil. Q In York and In Saluda counties especially, the dispensary is being brought into politics. We are glad to state that, as far as we know, the temperance people of Abbeville ard be- A. having themselves, and are not consorting with the liquor elements, If there is any such element in Abbeville. The fact Is we know of no considerable sentiment which would either destroy the dispensary or return S to the old way ol dealing with liquor. The temperance people, who favor a curtailment in the liquor {rattle would do more good if they did not consort with the liquor j element, but directed their energies toward the enforcement of the law. The iaw Is being openly violated every day, but the friends of the law must remain silent or their protests tl might be used to the disadvantage ol the law. V As a life-long prohibitionist, and as an ab- tl stalnerfrom the use of intoxicants for more .si than sixty years, we say, without any fear of Jt succcssful contradiction, the dispensary is (i the best liquor taw that we ever had. And h we have had in this town : License, prohibi- li Hon, high licence and dispensary. The worst p and most wicked iorm of dealing with liquor il is the high license. It gives a monopoly, and H the inducements to fraud in measure, in qual- A lly of liquor and in higher price are great. b tl ?
