The new traction engine for the use of the city of Abbeville Is hauling chert for the ipav lng of our streets came last week, and was unloaded from the Southern cars last Friday. It, Immediately after being unloaded, took on coal and water preparatory to Its first trip to the chert beds on the land of Postmaster Link and Congressman Aiken, which He some four or five miles Northwest of Ab^bevllle. Above Long Cane church the road crosses Leslie's Creek over which there Is a bridge. Before starting, all the necessary timbers were plaeed on the cars for strengthening the bridge, and wh?n all was ready the machine pulled out of the depot yard, taking with It the necessary cars. The return was on Saturday, each of the four cars bringing about four cubic yards of the chert, which was properly distributed on the public square. The engine Is 22 horse power, which Is calculated to haul about as much as ten or twelve two-horse wagons. The engine is fired by coal, and, as compared with horse power and wagonB the cost is very little. The cost of the engine is about 92,800 and the cars cost 8250 each. The wheels are broad and we will have an object lesson In the advantage of wide tires on publlo roads. The chert Is to be placed on the roadway from the beds to the city. One exlnhaautlble bed is on the land of Mr. P. A. Roche, and, as we understand, the town will take of tbe road Improving commodity from both Mtsere. Link & Aiken and Mr. Roche. This fact will insure at least a portion ot good road In two directions from the city. The chert Is to be put upon tbe public square, and all tbe principal streets will share In its benefits. Chert is essentially different from clay, and water has a different effect on the two qualities of earth. Clav in dry weatber Is readily eround into dust, and with every passing breeze it ris<s Id to the air to tbe injury of everything, lu wet weather, or in wet places. It Is soft aao mlrery. Tbe feet of animals and tbe wbeelf of vehicles readily sink into it, and thus tbt roadways of clay become almost impassable. Water bas a different effect on chect. The more water, or rain, that falls on it. the smoother and harder it becomes. In dry weather tbe dust does not rlBe from it as from olay. This bas been examined by government experts who pronounce this tbe very best. An example of the good results of chert on the public highways may be seen on tbe road In "Gordon's lane," about half way between Abbeville and nueWest. All the older cltl- 1 zens know that In former years "Gordon's lane" In tbe winter time was almost im- 1 passable for man, beast or vehicle. Now, "Gordon's lane" is so delightful a drive thai < tbe young gentlemen In oompany witb 1 their best girls, call it "Lover's Lane." ' The roadbed in winter especially is about no o OTKAKA h??h HooHoH linroAb I mm uoiu on a uuvi nuc*v ui6u scamper along at a 2:40 rate to tbe delight 01 ' their drivers. The average speed over this 1 road in winter was formerly about two mileb 1 an hour. The consistency of tbe olay and 1 water made a mud which was so adhesive 1 that the i wheels often in winter presented J little less than a solid appearance. Nov, there la no prettier a drive than along Gor- ' don's lane. About fifty years Mr. T. W. McMillan father of the Mayor, did some work which I will stand as a monument to him and to tbe town. He built the culvert through the pub- < 11c square, and planted tbe older trees which I ornament the square and shade tbe side- 1 walks. And now It seems fitting that the son : ' should take up the work and give us greater 1 and better things than tbe former days required or expected. Tbe council, with Mayor 1 McMillan, baa done much for the town. Tbe 1 streets have been Improved, tbe sidewalks ot tbe square have been paved with cement, the water supply has been inoreaBed beyond all I present needs, and now tbe streets are to be still further Improved by a covering of obert. l'he Immediate management of all these lm* proveraentB Das been piacea id cnarge 01 mr. JohQBOD, and the finished work bas been done faithfully and well, wbleb is tbe best . guarantee that the plans of tbe council will be faithfully carried out In tbe luture. We have no complaint of either the school or the l council, wnlch fact goes to to show that Abbeville Is singularly fortunate In ber trusted offioes. Nothing but good has been heard of our teachers and our town council. Not in forty years has such a pleasant oondltlon existed. Afflicted By a Law and Order LeaKoe. Aiken Is affllcttd with the presence of ? Law and Order League. As might have been expected, within tbe last ten days In three different Motions of that county human llle has been taken. And nine cases of murder have been docketed for the Court which convenes on tbe 26th instant. It 1 seems to us that the lawlessness in Aiken Is enough to warrant tbe grand jury in Issuing tbe warrants for arrest of all members of the Law and Order League in Aiken County. The people of Aiken If pressed further may rlBe up in tbelr might and lynch the members of the Law and Order League. It will bp remembered that YorkviUe and other counties when the Ku Klux Klan flourished bad great trouble in ' tbe arrest of ber "best" citizens who were rthorooH nrOh oorlnnu nrlmoD. Thft lnnir flnf. ferlDg and patient people of Aiken may yet ' turn on the Law and Order League. The whole State of South Carolina at one time Buffered much from Radical rule. Dlf ' ferent counties suffered from the presence of the Ku Klux Klan. Later on the State was over run by the dispensary and now ' some counties are afflicted with Law and Order Leagues. The disregard of human ' life In Aiken lsappallng, and the tolerance of that association known as the Law and Order League Is beyond comprehension. 1 It seems that the sick Yankees might lay violent hands on the Law and Order crowd. 1 The presence of tbls League should be urged In mitigation of the offense of murder. Conditions were bad enough before the orglnza- J tlon of this League. a m ( Fell Ofl Hi* Chair. I We are told that Ell of old fell off bis chair 1 and broke his neck on the reception of bad 1 news. If rumors approach correctness the editorial ' force of the State may be expected to fall off 1 the watoh tower of antl-dlspensarylsm, with- ' oat breaking their necks, when they read the report of the dispensary commission, but, not 1 like good old Eli, in 6orrow. One of my flne hens was about dead: I cot a package of Speed's Poultry Powder and i drenched her with a dose of It. It cured her ( and 1 can cheerfully recommend It as a pre veDtlon and a core when they are sick and dowo. lours truly, i L.D.Caldwell. i See that flue line of stationery at Speed's i Drag Store. , Speed's corn cure will sure remove your corns.

We keep all the best and latest driDfes at our up to date Fountain and the best soda j men in this country to dispense it Milford's Drug Store, TlieT*?i?l Jlfftlnc. Dr. Tracy has been continuing hie leosurcs, and ttie exhibition of his moving pictures seems to have afforded pleasure to a large number of our people. He has been here now long enough for people to begio to tlnd fault or to pick flaws in his proceedings, and be has learned, too, that Abbeville Is not In the highest state of perfection. Dr. Tracy's show, as some people Insist upon calling it, Is all right, but there are differences of opinions as to the merits or <le. merits ol his lectures, which are Interspersed between the canvass scenes. And he thinks It very hard for the town council to charge ' a license fee for preaching the gospei" of lem. perance. On this question there may be a difference ol opinion among our people. Some may regard the Doctor's performance asabuslDess proposition, while others- may think that he is traveling aiotind the country solely in the interest ol sinful creatures who take a drlck, or dance, or play cards. The Doctor seems to b? In tamest In his talks^ however misguided he may be as to facts about tne llnuor business In'lliisi-Uute. It Is plainly to be seen that he has been inspiied more by the llccuse people lh??u by the tempera uce elenunt. He, like the stiay prohibitionists that are to be found in different parts of the Slate, seems to look entirely to the saloon element lor bis facts and his argumeuts. t r u^ K^.mrht fAnh o iiinuip httttpment. that XI uo Ul VU(jUv "VI vw? M ' '"b*" " ? dtd not originate Id tbe saloon element or which bad not been repeated times without number, It escaped our notice. While we ac cord to the Doctor the best and purest mo lives, yet we think we have never before beard a speaker who did not say something which we had not heard before. We have not given much thought to tbe puggestiou that be was seut out by tbe Law and Order League In a crusade against tbe dlspensa ry. While he quotes from authorities which we presume come from that quarter, we cannot >hink that Dr. Tracy Is doing anything worse than trying to support himself and family. The making of speeches and the exhibition of pictures Is a legitimate business, and we think that he is entitled to any money that may be paid to him. His show is worth from 25 cents to 50 cents, to say nothing of bis lectures, which are thrown in as good measure, so to speak. He charges DOlhing t?reltnertbe show or the lecture. He prepares a great number of free seats, and for tbe chairs he charges ouly 5 ceDts on which the occupant can rest during the bIiow. But Instead of charging an admission fee, he allows zealous and Interested friends an occasional opportunity to make a "silver JUCriUg. X U1B 10 l. ._ that. And then tbe town council gave biro an opportunity for giving a "Ave dollar" of fering at tbe Clerk's desk. Nothing wrong in tbis, either. Tbe Doctor didn't seem to like the giving of the silver offering which was required ol blm by tbe council. He asked tbe preachers and others to Intercede with the council to stop tbe license lee ol $6 This was tbe only town, with a single exception, wbere be biiR been required to pay a license for preaching tbe gospel of .temperance. On this subject bis hearers were nearly of one opinion, but he kept up tbe talk and orltlclsed tbe action of tbe city council of Abbeville until we think he bad nearly converted tbe whole ol bis bearers to tbe opinion that the town council did exactly right In requiring dally a license fee for conducting an alleged religious show. While we think the Doctor Is a tern, perance zealot, yet as a preacher of the gosr?ui ho lor-trpfi unmflthiner of comlne un to our ideus of the proprieties and the refinement which should characterize the action of a public speaker. A speaker should avoid )oarseue8s, vulgarity and profanity. We thought that the Doctor several times c^me " too near to these things, For instance: The itory about the old maid and the owl was suggestive both of Irreverence and vulgarity. His reference to "hugging, by music" was a vulgar expression which no gentleman M should use and few gentlemen would use. His repeated use of the name: "Lord God Almighty" was Irreverent, If not positively ? profane. After speaking of "hugglDg by music," and allowing tbe owl to answer the old maid's prayer to the Lord, and after his profanity In w the use of the name of "the Lord God Al- * mighty" It Beemed shocking that he ahonld e< close a performances of this kind by a prayer. A show wherein such expressions as we bave quoted may be beard should not object to the license fee. N But whether his lectures were good or bad ^ his plotures were good, and carried captive 01 the greatest assemblies of people. For two 11 weeks his great tent was filled every night. t] Prohibition. si Newspapers aDd politicians are making a 'ti right against the dispensary. The last Legislature appointed a committee * lo investigate that Institution. -The air has a been foil of whisperings of corruption In the t buying and selling of liquor. Whatever Of jj fraud, corruption or wrong doing may be in a the business will likely be discovered by the p Investigating committee. And it will be pub llshed. a Newspapers are agitating the question of a closing the dispensary, and zealots for and against the institution are putting in their r, work. As an example of gentlemanly and out ^ spoken bearing, we have seen none that we n like better than the letter of Mr. A. C. Jones E to the Newberry Observer. In an article of two and a half columns we did not observe a fj single nettle, although it may be inferred that d be thought the prohibitionists In 1892 were a set of ninnies. g We look at it in this way : The traffic in c liquor is a public question, about which men may conscientiously differ. AH the good. p men are not and cannot be on the same side, a Prohibitionists and license men may be equally honest. We would lmpnte dishonesty to no man on the liquor question. We t cannot all see alike. Each has a different view point or environment. Under the law, as it now stands, each county has a right to have a dispensary or probi" bltion. Then let each county do as it may wish or as it may think best. If any county T can enforce prohibition, andean show Abbe* vllle bow to enforce it, the prohibitionists will have no more zealouB advocate than the f< Press and Banner. We have no sympathy for the high license h claim. We think it the most iniquitous of all P the liquor laws. It excludes the poor mau, tl no matter how honest. It gives exclusive or U special privileges to the rich, no matter how n unscrupulous. It offers the greatest Induce- n ments to extortion and fraud. ci Wllh the lights before us we are standing v lor the dispensary. It gives us prohibition p rrom sunset 10 sunrise every nignt. it stops si the sale of liquor od Sunday. These are steps to ft ward prohibition, and there Is no rubbing out D 3l that lact. If prohibitionists would accomplish their purpose let them Join the dlspen- ci sary people in an effort to shorten the hours ci during which liquor may be legally sold. ri The Press and Banner yields to no man in p zeal for temperance, and we yield to no rnau li i better record lor total abstinence irom the o use of Intoxicating liquors. b But we recognize the fact that men have v been debauched by liquor lor time out ot cj mind, and we suppose the traffic will cause u trouble for many years after the actors in it these scenes shall have passed away. r< Id the discussion we hope to be lair and re. n spectlul to all. Having no respect for the act ai of others which would Impute bad motives, al we hope that we shall avoid giving offense to p, my, We 6hall maintain our principles, and shall grant to others, the equal right. Therefore, gentlemen, let it not be forgotten that we be friends. Did you ever try Vinol for that weak, tired feellDg.

Two June weddings arouse whole town, tbe June wedding of two sls>rs tbe same day and hour, In tbe borne, is anally unusual and rarely beautiful.
