IP m The Abbeville Press and Banner,! BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1904. ESTABLISHED 1844 v||| The Press and Banner j mr Published every Wednesday at 9! a ear In advance. I Wednesday, Oct. 5, 1904. i Mr. Calvert Goes Out ami Mr. Jouew Goes In. On last Friday. September 30, Mr. W. A. ! Calvert resigned the duties of dispenser and Mr. J. E. Jones assumed the duties of that position on the first day of this month. Whl'e It is a fact that a few good and honest prohibitionists are making a fight on the dispensary, yet it is true that there has never been, as far as we now recollect, any complaint of the Abbeville dispensary by either the license men or the prohtbitlouists. As far as we know, the dispensary law has " the approval ot the temperance element, and -j the management of the dispensary has been satisfactory \to all. Mr. Jones has been employed for some time as clerk In the establishment, and is now so familiar with its workings that be cau keep < the books correctly and manage the Institution according to'the provisions of the law. Dispensers are required to make freqnent settlements, ana wuen mey biukb ? eeiuemeat it Is final. The Comptroller-General aDd the county treasurers are tboonly officers known to us where final settlements are not often bad. The Railroad agents settle periodically, and and when they settle the settlement Is definite and specific. Tbe Post Office authorities, with thousands of assistant post masters under their charge, make exact and correct settlements every few months. Tbe Carolina Chemical Company, having In charge many manufacturing enterprises, ?nd employing many financial agents, settle with their employees at stated Intervals. Tbe IJr >ted States Government looks after tbe Nat ial Banks, and their afTalrs are made known a: least five times during tbe year. The lnsu'rnace agents settle with the companies every month. Tbe only financial agents of whom we have any acquaintance, that do not make clear, specific and definite settlements are the Comptroller General and the County Treasurers. It seems that the Comptroller General and the County Treasurers seldom settle their accounts before tbe treasurer goes out of office. Or, to 6ay the least, in some instances such settlements are deferred or are left open for years. If nubile officers fall to Dav over tbe State's money, somebody must be derelict In duty? If these officers fall to make settlements and hold money In their hands which belODg to the Government, who Is responsible for the IOHS m If the Comptroller General makee'these set- I tiements, and it can afterward be established that he allowed any County Treasurei to hold back money belonging to the mate, are not he and his bondsmen legally and morally responsible for the loss? We wonld state distinctly, that we make no sort of charge or imputation against Hit Integrity or the character of any man who has held the office of Comptroller-General,not would we entertain for a moment the thought that any County Treasurer had wilfully withheld public money. It is their manner of maklDg settlements to whi^h we object We ;cannot believe and would not believethat either of these officers have been dishon- _ est. Those officers with whom we are acquainted we know to be honest men. But the fact that settlements have not in past years been made annually as the law directs, and that the half made settlements stood over for years indicates a p-tlnful con- | dltlon of atlalrs and a great lack of efficiency, If the work ot '.he Comptroller-General, Mr. Jones, in overhauling various Treasurer's ac counts, is with a view to correcting tnem up to dale and making them final, which wt understand Is his purpose, the public will ^ commend him tor his tfticient work, and i: be will hereafter demand annual settlement which can not be ripped up and questioned be will have inaugurated a much needed reform. Why is it thai the State of South Carolina V1 Is the only great concern that does not mak< ? periodical final settlements with Its linaucla h agents. Is the law defective ? If so, it is time that it was amended. hi If the law Is what It should be, and the " Comtroiler-Uenerai discharges his duty, how ^ Is It possible for a County Treasurer to hold back monej^ belonging to the Government* It would seem to us that tho llrst and im- t| perativeduty ol the uext Legi?-iature Is to a remedy the evils resulting from the careless jj v. of making settlements. We have no so. .jOf dout-1 (is to the integrity of anybody, d but the loot, ,r*y of allowing County Trews- j urers to hold back governmeut money should h I/O oiu^pcu. ' NVhal would we think If the State offi;ers w allowed a dispenser to keep part of the Stale's money ? What would we thluk If he should " be allowed to go for years without maklug ? a settlement? g If a superior officer allows an luferior offi- 11 oer to keep public money for years, is the f< higher officer blameless, or should all the h censure be directed to the lower officer? ^ Who is more blameless, the one who makes au error or th* oue who prevents It. i Accident to Euuiiie. d The engine at Mr. W. H. Long's ginnery o met with an accident one day last week In u the wringing otf of the shaft on the driving |, wheel. The cr;>nk broke off when the heud ji of the steam chest was brokeu. No one was v hurt. v This accident is greatly to be regretted, on p account of both Mr. Long and his customers. It is the busiest season ol ginning, and his t gin will be stopped for a short time. Mr. s Long is one of the truest of met), as well as s one of the most public spirited citizens that " Abbeville ever had, and we are all sorry for : any misfortune that may come to him. It Is hoped that his customers will not have t long to wait for his machinery to start I attain. * E ' Buy a Home. ( Mr. Paul L. Grler, executor of the estate ot j' : R. W.

The State Agricultural and Mechanl cal Society purchased one hundret I. acres of level land in the southerr part of Columbia last spring on whicl to hold its annual South Carolina Stat* Fairs. This change was made neees sary because the old grounds were to< small to accommodate the large num ber of exhibitors and visitors who an nually attended the great fairs, anc tne DUiidtngs were no longer suiiaou for the purposes for which they wen !s built. On the new grounds there i! y room for everything and for every '' body, and they are more conveniently K situated to the transportation line! B. than the old grounds were.* The dis!. tance is less than a half mile from th( new union depot, and the grounds ar< >r reached by several fine roads and by ?e the street car lines, and no trouble wil be experienced in handling the larg< J' crowds that are sure to visit Columbia Visitors will find everything brand nev e- this year. The buildings are all moderr in construction, large, airy, and comII fortable, all one story, with numerous rs exits and wide aisles. One building i! devoted entirely to the handiwork 01 'u women, and is set apart from the othei .e buildings so that the fair sex may ena Joy themselves without interruption e. Another building is devoted to the agricultural exhibits and implements, anc another to the commercial exhibits ^ Then, the poultry building occupies ? r, very prominent location and is very large and roomy. The live stock barn! b- are so arranged that all visitors car it safely and conveniently pass througl all of them and see all the stock at any e time, and the management specially e requests that visitors avail themselves of this opportunity. le The regulation mile race track Is !? a cated in the southern part of th( r* grounds, and is a beauty. The race: it truv he viowprl from thf? Pair cround; r If it be preferred to do so, but a large ' comfortable grand stand is located a d the finish of the home stretch, when u the races can be viewed to much bettei advantage and with more comfort. Th< y quarter stretch is not separated fron >r the grand stand, as was the case or the old track, but all are combinec under one inclosure, thus increasing the social part of the meet. The Midway or Pike is located neai t- the main entrances, and will be fillet t- with all the modern shows and attrac it tions, with wares from very part o: the world, and with people from everj >11 i nort nf tViA wnrl/i Thp grounds are located just opposite th< h Midway, on the other side of th< nr entrance. Here will be played twc excellent games of football during le Fair week. er The railroads have offered verj cheap rates on account of the firs of Greater State Fair, and they will rui d. most convenient schedules from al sections of the State. In view of al the attractions that have been ar ranged for, there is no risk in sayinj that the large crowd of last year wil be doubled this fall, and that this id great gathering will be more easily ac JU commadated than in any former year Every one ought to attend the onlj hie fair and social event In the State & ; E R ( t*. ? an lutely.
