The antl-dispeusaryltes are so horrlfli d at pS the actual and presumptive evidences of 'e?V' wrong-doing lu tbe uiansgement of the dlspeuBary that ihey would consent to abolish 'lyi the whole thing. From the same holy standpoint the ',v iress ana Banner suggests mat me iuuuij Government of Greenville be abolished Hi once. There seems to be little doubt that one of tbe officers up tbere have been Romewhat careless in handling the county money, and to prevent the possibility of actual wrong dolog we think the Legislature should save careless officers by abolishing the Couuty Government of Greenville.

Editor Press and Banner: Oae extreme usually follows another, as a general rale and It seems h? this i ear will not be ati exception to the rule. So far tue crops that have oome to maturity have ben tar below the average and those that are yet to mature, Judging from present appbarances will be off Hi least a balf. So the crop of last year, wbicb was one of tbe be6t to take It nil around the country has ever known, will be followed by one considerably below the average. The preceding crop which was all one could ask with its good prices made every one bouyant over flatering prospects. Business In all lines was never known to have been better and the people everywhere were rejoicing as prosperity se. med to be knocklug at ibtlrdoor. About that time tbe Wall street speculators decided! bat i lie South was growing too rich. So with the aid of the govern men i.to back them it was herald abroad ihoi o fAnpippn mllMnn h?IP p.ron wax r non siblllty. What was the result? The prion ol cotton went gllmerlng dropping from five to ten dollars per bale and the people stood and looked on wltb awe and amazement at such a calamity. What about prosperity then? L'be tables were turned and bankruptcy 3u. reel more than one In the lace. Business became stagnated, and confidence that had lu a large measure been restored began to wave and the long (ace of disappointment, was plainly seen on every side and the farmer began to feel hs though be was unjustly treated by undue fluctuation in the pi ice 01 cotton. Viewing tbe situation as It was be determined to lake a hand In tbe matter, and try to t fleet a change in tbe condition of aftalrs wMli tbls result, he determined not to sell Ills cotton at tbe prevailing low price, consequently tbe price ot cotton was forced up five dollars per bale even though a fourteen million bale crop was possible. How was It done? By organizing "and withhold* tng thecottoB liom the market. I .Later on be was enabled to meet tbe emer: geucy still better by being more thoroughly organized through the Southern Cottod Association and Farmers Union lor self protection. He then reduced his acreage 17 per cent. On tbe strength ot that, tbe price of cotton rose to S 1>2cents, then the unfavorable weather conditions which followed olose behind, caustd It to run to ten cents, which was indeed gratifying to those who held for that price. The mills have agreed now that tbe price is as high as it should be, consequently they have agreed to run on as little as possible so they can boast a big surplus when the new crop cornea in. It is plalniy seen that the mills are scheming as to bow they will get tbe cotton without paying the market price. They have already shut out all competition, consequently the farmers cannot get In the local market by 1-2 to 3-4 ol a cent of what the market price is. Now it in up lo the farmers as to whether they will submit to this Injustice or not Will they continue to marcn up belore Its sbeareisdumb as ttxey have always hereto lore or will they rise up In their might and , prove by their actions that they will not subo? it 10 injustice any longer. Between the mills and the speculators ol Wall street 11 seems that they are determined to Keep the larmer down and not allow him a living chance. When every thing seems to oppress the larmer Is there little wonder that so many are leaving the tarm tor other more remunerative pursuits? Tafce the poorer farmer who Is starting out In lite, who has no help other than his wife who tolls with him thiough thick and thin doing her household duties then taking her infant to the field and placing It on an old worn out quilt under a convenient persimmon bush there to battle with the insectsaioue, while the mother Joins the father In helping to keep the wolt irom the door and make a just and honest living, working from eany morn todusky eve, In the scorching rays ol the summer's sun and the biting wiLds ol the winter months, unknown to comforts, much less a lew ol the luxuries of nie, and then tell me those people are not entitled to more than a mere existence. Why, ttiey are entitled lo the best mat the land can ahotd. They justly deserveand are entitled lolt, but why ao they not get It? Ah ! It is ou account or that ruinous lien and credit sys ( tern, paying two prices lor what he gets that j kttph him and ills ibinlly loiever digging.' Will the bltubtion ever be lelleved ?

WlililfflWR PREPARING FOR A CHANGE, The New Owners of the Abbeville Warehouse Elect New Officers. Tne Farmers Association which bought the Abbeville warehouse met one day of last week and elected nine directors, namely: Foster Calvert, W. R. Ellis, James Gillaui, L. A. Raraey, W. E Leslie, H. A. Alien. J. Allen Smi'b, K. E. Harrison, R. E. Cox. The lqllowlngofficers were chosen: Foster Calvert, President. S. A. Alien, Vice President. William Maglil, Manager. W. E. Leslie, Secretary and Treasurer. The old uffleers will turn over the property o the new owners on the first of September. The lot and the building* which have been sought will make a valuable and pr< fltable >ropert> to tne stockholders. its value in* contributing to the general vellarr of the farmers by furnishing a place o stoie their cotton, Is not easily estimated. iVliatever the lact maybe, we believe it Is low conceded, if the farmers hold their colun, that they may have something to say in ontroll log the price of the staple. it has been contended that the building of iorn and wheat elevator- In the west has irevented the great fluctuations in prices bat previously prevailed. By sticking loxe'ber the cotton farmers fill be greatly f. nefltted in establishing a nore uniform pc *n. President BlaWwbo has sold his stock in be warehouse Is at sea as to what he may lo in the future. Manager John J^yon win bum ue a muiur in be cotton bunlness at Abbeville. Being a )ue Juoge ol oottou he wtil enter tbe market, is a buyer, ami II the opportunity present# tvelf to secure another warehouse he will go nto tbe warehouse business In connection vltb tbe business of cotton. It Iti quite probable that a new warehouse nil be oullt. Tbe change of ownership of thu rxlsuug warehouse does not Increase lt? capacity lor serving the Jarmers. Audso tbe leuiand lor Increased warehouse facilities iub not been satisfied. Tbe farmers ! ay enarge tnelr already extensive plant, or others nay do something iu tbe way of building a mailer warehouse room. It is not thought hat the demand Is sufficient for another arge establishment. But a small warehouse rould lend, not only to satisfy bat to accomolate the public with competition. While a ew ma? be directly interested in a new warehouse, It Is also true that tbe great mass if customers are seeking tbe most acceptable ervlce at tbe least expeuse. All tbe banks at Abbeville are In thorough y id pat by with the farmers, and will do all bey can to forward the good work of malnalnlng prices of cotton and In advancing noney on the crop.

If .he editors or the committee would also aslure the public that no one should fail toretelve full Justice because of the personal dlsiivnr of any member of the committee, that act would bIbo be of added value. In reading tbe notice we were reminded of tbe innouncemant long n?o that Charles A. Dana of tbe New York Sun would write one >r more pieces for tbe American Cyclopaedia, ["he Sun was extremely partisan and we did iot see how lis editor could write a fair and mpartiEil piece, but our recollection It* tbat ae wrote one or more of tbe best and fairest jleces In the book. We have no doubt that ;be editors of tbe "Men of Mark" will be as air and as Just as wan Charles A. Dana. Sew Stores. Messrs. A. M.

Too much care cannot be used with small children during the hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old fashioned castor oil, and eee that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a tendency to gripe. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may be checked in its incipiency and all danger avoided* Tbecastor oil and this remedy Bhould be procured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as the first indication of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be relied upon with implicit corfidence even in cases of cholera infantum. For sale by aHl druggists Abbeville, H. M Young, Due West.
