I.et I'm be Fair.
The most ciuel and the most uncalled fo
attack upon character that we recollect t<
baveseen in many a day was that of Dr. J
ii. Stokes, as reported by the Yorkville Ed
qulrer and as copied luto the Charleston Post
against tbe character of Senator"".!*. K. Till
man. /
Men who make or publish such charge.'
against character should be required to prov^
tbelr truth or to suffer for such libelous puJ'
llcatlons as are maliciously defamato V oi
character.
We are not presuming to defend Senator
Tillman for.any of his sins, which are many.
He Is perfectly able to take care of himself,
or In case of lallure to do so, is willing to
lane me cuusequeucm, ttQui wo protest
against Is the prostitution of the columns ot
any newspaper In South Carolina for any
such purposes as the malicious defamation ol
charaoter.
Of coarse there is no accounting for what
may be said by some pulpiteers who seem
' not to be accountable to any body for any
statements which they might make, even it
they have.to draw, upon their imagination
for facts which are ae baseless as the fabric
ofa dream. But newspapers are expected to
follow a more correct ilneofconductand mum
be governed by higher principle than the
defamation of character.
Senator Tillman is no doubt responsible
for some speeches In the catupaigns which
> were not elevating to his hearers. He may
have contributed his share of responsibility
for the habit ol lynching which prevails in
South Carolina but.we protest that he is noi
all-powerful. But be has exercised great influence
over the State. That Influence is
matter of record.
Thn f an crlhlo roculta r\f Vi lu titAnIr orofAK.,
seen in various places, chiefly:
First?In ousting the old set of officers fot
a new set.
Seoond.?In establishing Wintbrop College.
Third.?In the organization of Clemsou
College.
Fourth.?In giving us the dispensary law,
whereby prohibition was secured for at leasi
twelve hours In the twenty-four hours.
Fifth.?In permanently.placing in the organic
Jaw of the State a provision which
forever eliminates the license system of selling
liqnor in South Carolina,
It may have been treason to oust the old
set of officers.
It may have been unjust and wrong to establish
colleges for the youth oi the Stnte.
It may have been wicked in the Legislature
under the influence of Tillman, to eive utprohibition
for half of each tweoty-fou: hours
with prohibition from Saturday sur.set t<
Monday morning?thus saving the Sabbath
' day free from desecration by the liquor dealers,
who may not have closed their back
doors on Sunday.
All these malters are right or wrong, as
seen from the view point.
Bight or wrong, they are matters of record,
and are proper subjects ..f criticism.
But honest and lair minded Christians
and men who are governed by the proper
instincts mast condemn malicious accusations
against character.
Whether Christian or profane, the grfai
public heart loves honesty of speech, and
regards Talr play in action as the only true
guide.
Dr. Stokes, we think, would not lay bis
hand on his heart, and nay that be believes
of Tillman all Ibe wickedness of which tb<
Yorkviile Enquirer speaks.
, Those who know Tillman best, whether
they like him or not, as far as we have
heard, give btm credit for being honest.
Those who have most closely watched him
In Washington assert that he has cleiin
hands, and say that he Is respected for the
honesty and the ability which gives hltr.
great influence in the Semite.
The Press and Banner believes him honest,
and believes that charges against his integrity
are without foundation In fact.
We can ujdtrstand.liow a man may con
scleutlously favor prohibition.
But we cannot understand bow a consistent
Droblbltlonlst can favor the uboiltiun of I lit
twelve hours of prohibition that we now
have.
We can understand the correctness ol
prohibitionists seeking to lead prohibition
1st*.
But we do not understand how a prohibitionist
can quit his own feilows to lead tbi
liquor element.
We credit Dr. Stofces with having at least
ordinary Intelligence and presume that he
has at least as much information as the average
oltizen.
This being true he must know that this
fight on the dispensary under the lead of a
few prohibitionists Is kept up by those who
would restore the bars.
Dr. Stokes must have heard that the liquor
dealers and their friends as individuals or as
associations have fought the dispensary in
every concelvaole way. He must have heard
of these reports which certainly have as much
foundation in tact as the old scandals which
be now uses against Tillman, but, which
bave long since beendiscarded by the ward
politicians.
In fighting the dispensary does Dr. Stokes
do so with the view of helping the liquor
element to break down a law which gives
prohibition for twelve hours out of every
twenty-four hours? Or, does be know so
little as to be.love that the liquor men want
prohibition ?
The persons and newspapers who are sup.
porting the tight against the dispensary are
largely, if not quite entirely, of the license
element. Who ever heard of a city newspaper
advocating prohibition?(except for a
little while Captain Dawson did so)?until
DUfU DUpputt was glVCU LU UJC pi UUiUl 11UU1HIH
in aid of the li"Uor association against tlie
dispensary.
If prohibitionists would command the
favorable opinion of the thinking public,
they Bhould be fair and just.
The slandering of Tillman will make no
converts to temperance, or to morality, or to
gootf conduct which would bring people to
the higher and the better standards of liv'
lng.
The General Election.
Realizing the usual lack of interest manifest
ed in eeneral elections In this part of tht
country, ws earnestly request h Jnrge atten'
dance at the polls in the coining general elec
Hon, November Sth. , .
In places the general election arouses moi<
interest that the primaries, and foreseeing
the lack of interest shown here, we again re
quest a full attendance at the polls.

L?-(;nl Fiction.
Whenever a man Is lynched the news"
pipers are always lull of rot about the strenuous
efforls of tbe officers to protect the
prisoner. That old gag has been used enough,
unless there is some proof ol the truth
of the statement.
If the Sheriff, Constable or other officers 1
should make an houest effort to protect a
prisoner, do you think that he would lock
nim up, ham; out a big light to show where
ne was iiud then wait for the mob, to whom
the keys upon demand, are turned over ?
If tbe officer really meant to save his
prisuurr irom iiitr iijuu wuuiu na uui
him i)ll'utid try to hide him, instead of put- w
ticghim a place where be would certainly
be found?
The Govenor and county officers have of
late been making very conspicuous and
ludicrous pictures of themselves In reference
to this lynching business.
Down in Kershaw lynchers must be scared -pi
nearly to death even as are the Laurens
lynchers since the Sheriff of Greenwood is
looklDg for tbem. It either of the afore
mentioned Sheriffs 'should lay eyes on the
lyncher, the aforesaid lyncher might as
well go out of business at once.
Itiiised llie Price of Cottou.
We believe that some of the Intelligent
suffragists ol Abbeville County thought Mr.
Joe N.Nance had something to do with the
raising of the price of cotton last year. Being
grateful to him for his services they honored
him this summer with & seat in the Legislature.
*1
Mr. Nance and all others who bought cotton A
at ten cents made stacks of money by their
faith In the Investment,
Judging from last year's experience a number
of our farmers are storing their cotton R
and waiting for the rise In price. Since the
editor of the Pressand Banner sold his pr spectivecrop
at nine cents last year, he has
had ail the conceit knocked out of him. For
this reason he is not giving advice, except
when be asked Mr. Nance to be very careful j
lest be lose the nice pile which be made last g,
year. If we had money we would be airaid j .
to btake it either way.
