Sprang a Sensation. ffiB It seems that Mr. R. R. Tolbert has made an Kb effort to secure appointment as postmaster at H Abbeville. He and Jobn G. Capers so far Bug sacoeeded as 'o get tbe appointment, or tbe promise oi tbe President to appoint blm. IS When tbe fact became known Representatlve Aiken and -Senator Latimer went to 3| see the President when the matter was held op. The incident Is no doubt closed as far as Mr. Tolbert is concerned. M It tqemi that alleged opposition to Mr. gg Link was based upon tbe assertion that he IgE conducted a real estate business. Whether this opposition had substantial foundation B can only be determined by ascertainment ol B; facts. ? ^ r Mr. Tolbert wanted the office. Mr. Capere owed Mr. Aiken a grudge. These two facie made up tbe case. A more acceptable postmaster than Mr. v Link would be hard to find. We believe the President, out of "Senator! i courtesy, always auowi me uongressman to name tbe postmaster In bis own city This won Id preclude tbe possibility of Caperi or anybody else ousting Mr. Link or putting ; ' In a postmaster against tbe protest of Mr i* Aiken. Aster as known, tbe people of tbe town ar< satisfied with Mr. Link and desire bis reten tlon In tbe office. Tola fact should bav< ? weight with tbe President. * * It is all rlgbt enough for a man to be a Republican or a Democrat as be ma; prefer bui -the exciters of race antagonisms are nellbe: ftepubllcans -nor Democrats and should no be rewarded wltb Federal office. Appeals t< race prejudice Is not Republicanism norli the persecution of white people Republican Ism. Irrespective, of all charges or of all virtues It may be said that tbe people of Abbevllli . desire tbe retention of Mr. Link In tbe post . office. Wltb tqual certainty It may be sale that they do not want Mr. Tolbert as a poet master. I- .

At dinner Judge Gary proposed a toast U Jadge Prince "whose career had been ar honor to Anderson and a pride to Abbeville.' ' Judge Prince is an Abbeville boy. He wai born on Penney's Creek In tbls county, aoc lived on bis father's farm until be was flfteet years of age. SlDce that time be has lived a Anderson.

K! ? Advice Free. Farmers are Just now getting a lot of fre< auvloe as to their crops. As ourjreaders maj recollect, tbe Press and Banner has bad cz perlence. Like a good many other lnnocen . termers, be thought tbe editor knew the roac ' to fortune. And what tbe editor said was a! right. Tbe only trouble was, tbe farmei oould not carry oat tbe plans of tbe editor Editor Wilson thought that there was a mln of money In raising mule oolts. He was so Impressed with this idea tbat Farmer Wilson in that bind of live stock. Tblnef didn't pan oat according to plans and tber< la no way to tell bow much be loot In tbii en tare. Editor Wilson then suggested to Farmer Wilson to raise sheep and sell wool and lambs. He paid Major R. A. Guffln $15 foi tbree ot bis blooded Btock, and paid $2 tc bave tbem brought borne. After eating a barn fall of fodder, they were sent to Abbe Hie next Spring where the whole lot, lamb wool and all, were sold to Henry Moore foi *6.25. Farmer Wilson then tried goats. He paid five dollars for a bait blood angora goat. For 11 sorts of every day goats be paid all soru of prices. Tbe family of goats multiplied, Ifo such torments bad ever been on tbat place r before, and they were given'away. lntbedack raising business this farmer's experience was not very satisfactory. They grew to beautlfal specimens of tbeii \ kind. But they didn't lay many eggs, and ' were not prolific. Tbe main objeotton to ,/ tbem was tbat they would persist in roosting ' on tbe well top, as close to the water buoket ? - as possible. These ducks didn't linger on the L*. farm. Mr. Isaac Keller bad some splendid peas ol the "UDkuown" variety. To bim'and others we pata J6.25 for seed. Moses Tate was hired tc ow them. They came up all right and grew off nicely. When we thought tbe vlne? getting ready to out the ieaves fell off. and if we /oand a pea on the vines we have forgotten tbe fact. t ; w? triad cattle raising, and sold tbe cattle for about enough to pay our account at tbe oil mill /or seed and balls. We were successful Id growlDg a large field of sorghum. Tbe seed, expressage, cleaning land and plowlDg tbe same coal about StiS. We sold about worth. The rest of It wbb a clear loss. In 1376 we tried an experiment In raising oats. The seed cost a high price. Tbe plowing was expensive, |2 a day for each plow. Tbeseed and all other expense amounted to $1*200. We were glad to get $700 for tbe whole outfit. One year we tried wheat. We owned a anlli at that time and sowed toll wheat. Because of defective plowing, bad seasons, or aomethlng else the crop was very poor. No two stalks were allfce in size or helgbtb. Being tbtn and unpromising we turned stock on It to grza. ' We tried raising rice one rear. We didn't get out as well as we did with tbe sorghum ? - ~>.in frnet naimht Ihfl hnlntari ?rnn. and AH OOI1J I1V? ?-B~. jr we gathered none. We spent about S100 trying to get a setting of bermuda grass and burr clover. Next year we sold tbe farm to Mr. S. M. Fleming and be plowed np tbe burr clover. But It Is fair to presume that tbe bermuda grass Is still with dim. We mention these facts to prove tbe great . *v 4 ' - . i:_ valua of an editor's advice on farming, each of the undertakings abovs referred we confidently expected handsome returi buttbey one and all, ended disastrously, a we bad to make good tbe losses by bs work In tbeprinting offioe. Our own opinion based on experience that an editor's opinion about farming worth very little. Having taken a little our own advice to our great loss, we refri now from giving a man advice, abont his o business. For Governor. It has been suggested that Mr. Oeo. Cromer, of Newberry, may run as a probl Hon candidate for Governar In case Sena Tillman should be a candidate for Gove or as supporter of tbe dispensary. Mr. Croo In no doubt a most estlm-ible citizen but we are to Judge of him-by his published 1 ters against Tillman and the dispensary, Is not tbe man to lead In a great struggle, might possib'y be elected Governor, but If It would not be because or any strength might give to tbe movement. In the first place Mr. Cromer Is too Intf gent a man lo believe that tbe prohibition in this State have much strength in th selves. The saloon men or the drinking tr or the advocates of free liquor are a p>v (We hardly know how to classify such i pie so as to be entirely agreeable. We m i no disrespect to those who bold to hoi , convictions, wbethet they are for prohlbll or If they lavor license, high license, or i other liquor law.) But a union of all tbe forces that oppose . dispensary are no doubt a power. The I i of a prohibition 1st of Mr. Cromer's lnt gence trying to lead tbe liquor men has 1: j something of the ludicrous. , The liquor question has not yet been tied, and we cannot have prohibition in until tbe beads of families teach their cl } ren tbe danger of drinking liquor. We . not have pro lbltlon until there is a m 5 sentiment favoring it How an intelligent and conscientious . blbltlonlBt can hope to be governor by t votes of tbe Baloon element Is more thai r can understand. r W noever may u? eiociou uu*t?uui j a prohibitionist will receive the office 1 9 the saloon element, and the officer 1b be to be true to the men who elected him. There Is not an idiot In all of South Cai na who does not know that no problbil ? lit could be elected without the votes of r saloon element. ] We presume that it will not be denied r the whole army of saloon men are against dispensary and would vote for any against it. In this they are right. First?Because barkeepers have been prlved of the right to secure license for a I ness which they regard as right and le e male. t Second?Because liquor drinkers, or d . drinkers, honestly and conscientiously re . the enactment of any law which curtails I ,, rights to drink at all hours of the day, e which shuts them off from the most plea 3 places which they may visit at night, i Third?Because the dosing of the bars . thrown a great number of men out of ployment Fourth?Because a great many real et r owners have been deprived of the rlgb . rent their property for use as a bar room. r Fifth?Because the dispensary closed 1 sundown Saturday until Monday morn > dram drinking on Sunday has been stop > and will not be reAnmed as long as we t > the dispensary. 3 Wben.tbe little 6quad of prohibitionists 1 feeljassured of the support of the votes o! i the malcontents it Is the stongest argon 1 to the weak side of a prohibitionist's nat 1 There may be a man in South Carolina i thinks that be could be elected Qovei I without the llqnort vote, but without his t surance of suoh belief, we shall not bel i it. And we do not see how a prohibitlc > wants to secure office by llqur votes. j Death of Mr. McFall, Walter T. McFall, lessee of the Eu: r Hotel, died at 12.15 Sunday night, Febri - 25.1906, aged 88 years. Mr. McFall was sit < en wltn double pneumonia on Fr! 5 the epd came so suddenly that few of 9 citizens knew of his Illness. At the uc 3 meetlDg Sunday night prayers were said * him whose life hung in the balance, but ' oong'regatlon knew not for whom the petl r was offered. Our people were shocked Monday morning when they heard of the affliction that bad befallen to their neigt log family. A great number of our people called at > hotel to pay their respeots, and every al j tlon possible was given. Loving and tender hearts expressed e l patby and sorrow, while the floral trlb I were in great profusion. j Flowers are always welcome, whetbei r joy or In sorrow, and their perfume bi sweet Increase up to heaven. Our Sav I likened himself to the rose of sbaron , the illy of the valley. , But laying aside sentiment and pers< , feeling, the story of Mr. McFall's career s husband and father It to be admired. Elc . years ago be married Miss Chris Hug daugbter of Mr. Cicero Hughes. To tl > were born four children. And the mother I father In all these years lived as lovers.

A sadder deatb < more deep affliction could not come to one. The young and happy wife andtl little children have suffered an lrrepari I loss. As a business man Mr. McFalt succcee i expectation In the management of the'Ear hotel.

His coram of bis help made the hotel an fdeal place which tbe traveler might find refreshes 1 and more;tban homelike oomfort. His bo was held In such high esteem that tbe tra log publlo will Join In sincere regret at McFall's death. i On.Monday a great company of our pec followed tbe remains from the hotel to I Southern train.

Tbe last Legislature did something ton establishing a school of vice, otherwise ca a ''reformatory." The main thing for State to do. Is to preserve the purity of youth. Wben men have once entered u a career of crime, and their crimes have b explolded in Court and after tbelr cohvlcl they have been punished, tbe hope of tl restoration to upright ways Is slim, 01 i doubt. The better way would be for the State to prosecute boys or young men for the I technical violation of the law, or, if tried i oonvlcted to suspead Ju lgment during ful good behavior. ??

R.lolbert, commonly known as "Red" oon W1H not b? po?tmaster at Abbeville. Tbe president seemed somewhat snrprlsed when Jr 8 today Senator Latimer and Represebtatlve any Aiken laid tbe situation before him, that tje|r such an appointment bad been contemplat. ed and he forthwith ordered tbe appolntiDle ment withdrawn. "What! Is be tbe Tolbert who came up ded here a year or so ago with a long pistol and wanted to kill my friend Leupp?" eKa Tbe president made this exclamation or zed one similar to It before any reference w s ?e. made to It by bis callers. He seems to remember tbe little circumstance even better W0D than Mr. leupp himself did. Mr. Leupp Is and now commissioner of Indian aSalrs. He , lD was a newspaper man and he wrote Tolbert's story for him, which was published In the lent jjew york Independent with Tolbert's use name signed to it. Some time after tbat vei. Tolbert, all by himself and without Mr. M Leupp,s knowledge, bad a falling out with Mr* blF-sorlbe. He seems to have got It Into bis bead tbat Leupp bad in some way been IDie making fun of him in newspaper stories , and be came to Washington, so the story the goes, equipped with a carefully selected mds shooting Iron and called to pay his respects 3ere to Mr. Leupp. Nothing oame of It, however, except e the few newspaper stories, some interviews with Mr, Tolbert and a lot of fun some of tbe re_ boys had out of biro.

In the substance this Is what Messrs, Latimer and Aiken told the president today, told also Postmaster General Cortelyow and rard reminded talm that President McKlnley bad ordered that on tblB account tbe greatlied est caution should be exercised In tbe apthe polntm^uts of postmasters at Greenwood our and Abbeville, Mr, Corlelyou said he remembered this. pon But without very much parley the presleen dent ordered tbe appointment killed and unless some other stronger and less objeotlonable ttepublloan comes after bltn, Mr. &?lr Link Is likely to hold on to his Job. of Zacb McGhee. not 2rst A lot of unreasonable comment has been an(j Indulged in by the newspapers In reference ure to Senator Tillman's evidence before the Investigating committee.

Last Sunday was a beautiful day, and many f our people attended church in the various ^ ouses for divine worship. The Associate Reformed pastor took for hta abject: "Negative and Positive Religion," i which he advocated a religion of prlnclpl* -a religion which is founded upon love ol the eautlful, the true and the good. It was not uough to have simply a negative religion?a e'Iglon that merely restrains. We need to cultivate that principle which aakes us love the right, lor the sake of the ight. A positive religion restrains us, not rora fear, hut it restrains by that spirituality f 7hlch would make us love (he good more lu ban we love the evil. By cultivating spirit- jjj< iHllty we unconsciously subordinate the evil jr the higher things. In his sermon we were reminded of an artl- .. le which we saw in a newspaper years ago. AJ )ne minister was distressed because some of lis church folk danced, and he sought the dvlceo(an older ministerial brother, who an eplled somewhat after this manner: "No; I do not preath against, dancing. If a? memhers danoe. It dutresse* me. nud I eek to Increase tbelr spirituality. Within- m ir^ased sp'rltuallty, there is no trouble about lancing. Ills ud wise and Impolitic to make tirades against danolng, but It U always ^ >roper and right to appeal for growth In iplrltuallty." And so It was. we thought Mr. Kennedy pou'd Impress the lesson that.If we have a n? eilglon or principle, reduces the danger from ihe negative religion which restrains only from fear. . - ai ivtiiiruau xucci'iun VVJ A com miltee of gentlemen from Due West, Messrs.
