ConKreaniinu Alken'n Letter.
Congressman Wyatt Aiken's letter to tbe
President of tbe Southern Railroad Is a
"warm number." Tbe complaints about
(Mlated tralns#will bo regarded Just, but tbe
fanny part of tbe letter lies In where he
undertakes to teU the railroad folk facts and
dates as to the arrival or non-arrival of the
trains. Nobody Is supposed to keep half so
olear and speclflca record ot the trams as do
the train-dlspatcbera it is fair to assume
that President Andrews has a record.
Mr. Aiken seems not to take In tbe real
cause of delay In running the trains. The
Press and Banner would charge It up to the
unprecedented and unexpected Increase cf
freight and passenger traffic. We would at
tribute tbe cause of complaint to two
causes:
First?To Increased prosperity of the country.
,i
Sfecond?To the employment of efficient station
agents who bring In more business tbaD
k' the trainmen can handle.
To remedy tbe rush of business and tbe
'* overtaxing of the trainmen, we recommend
tbe turnlDg off of all station men, who by
efficiency, politeness and favoritism of tbe
public who have oontrlbuted to the overtax
log of the engines, oars and trainmen. Bj
potting the different stations Into tbe handiof
less efficient and less courteous agents the
business could readily be reduced to ibt
oipaolty of tbe transportation ability of tbe
road. And our own agentB at Abbeville bavi
oontrlbnted largely to the Increase of tbt
U freight business to Abbeville. If tbey will
p remove Mr. Brown and Mr. Morrow and pat
tbe station In cbarge of lees efficient and lessobliging
men, it will b9 only a 6bort time un
til Captain Williams, Baggage Master 8yfan
and Engineer McPherson can readily movt
*11 tbe freight ooming to Abbeville.
; Tbe railroad folk are no doabt more perplexed
aboat tbe delayed trains than tbe
traveling public, and tbe authorities of thai
great .institution must do something. Tbe;
V i mast either turn off tbelr efficient statloc
agents or boy more trains. While tbey car
easily enough get rid of agents who orrwd
trains beyond tbelr capacity, it is a more
' difficult Job to Increase rolling stock to mee
tbe demands of tbe prosperous Souib. Wi
believe tbat nobody keeps in stock suet
thin?8 as locomotive engines, box cars or fla
7< ? ears,
and oar Information Is to tbe effect tba
nob things are made to order. And It take
time to make tbem. Nobody anticipated tb<
j Immense prosperity which bas come to thi
South, and hence good agents and a lare
volume of business bas overwhelmed tb
railroads. Tbe facts wblob Mr. Aiken reelt<
do not show dereliction on tbe part of tb*
railroad balf as plainly as It shows tbe pros
$ perlty of the Land of Cotton. Railroad foil
are practical business men, and the high sal
i': tries wblob tbey are paid Insures the bes
possible service. Tbey are In tbe railroad
L business and It may be set down as a fact
that the evils complained ot will be reme
died.
While this edllor is under no obligation U
tbe railroad, yet tbe railroad has a big; Job 01
Its bands in serving a country which has e<
suddenly developed such great prosperity
Tbe outrageous verdicts against tbe raliroadi
In damage salts seems tittle less than high
way robbery.
While we think Mr. Aiken's letter Is no
without-grounds lor complaint, and while w<
know that bis constituents will appreciate
and will regard with kindness bis watchfulness
In their behalf, yet let us not be unreasonable.
No man baa ever been more aotlve or mori
zealous In bebalt of tbe people than Mr
Aiken, and, If we give the road a little time
| It sball be seen that Mr. Aiken's "stirring up
of tbe animals" will have tbe desired result,
I Mr. Aiken Is all tbe time looking out for the
j welfare and happiness of the people. Hie
fidelity In Jabbing the railroad and hie
watchfulness over our postofflce are only In'
tanoes of his devotion. If you have any
r. doubt as to bis attention to his people Just
write blm a letter or a postal card on any sub
Jeot and then wait a little for the answer. II
he doeaen't pay special attention to a personal
request, then you telegraph the fact to the
Press and Banner at our expense. His father
theHon.D. Wyatt Aiken, made a good con
gresaman.and the son starts out with service
to the people where the lather left oft
Another good thing abort Mr. Aiken Is, that
he seems to have the ear and the respect 01
the President.
m ?
Are the Tolberts Repoblleaos?
Some ten or fifteen years ago Tom Finley, a
negro notoriously objectionable to this people,
represented to some of our citizens that
he wanted to go to Georgia to teach school
(for which business he was totally unfitted)
and our people being pleased at the Idea of
gelling rid of blm readily signed a certificate
oommendlng blm. Instead of going to teaoh
he went straight to Washington and there
was appointed postmaster at Abbeville, or at
- least had assurance that he would be appoint
& postmaster al Abbeville. The news went
abroad among oar people that Tom Flnley
was to be our postmaster. Some of "the
boys" around town sought an interview wltb
the gentleman. The story h"*s It in about ibis
way:
A number of young men called at the home
where Tom slept. Tom bad gone to bed
when the young men arrived. Home of them
knocked at Tom's door, while others stood ai
the back window to speak to the gentleman
In case he attempted to evade an Interview
at the front door. At one bound Tom jumped
through the window in bis shirt, and ran
down the bill. He went so fast tbat be didn't
have time to change his course when be
reaobed the railroad cut, and so Jumped Into
tbe darkness. His ankle was broken, and be
ooald run no more. "The boys" overtook
him, and began to beat blm wltb a piece of
barbed wire. He begged for meroy and said
his leg was broken. The reply was : "Ob, you
are a liar," and tbe barbed wire was used
vigorously again without special reference as
to where It might land.
It basjnst transpired that Mr. R. Red Tolberta
short time ago asked some of our citizens
to sign a recommendation for blm as to
character and ability. They could readily
do so, for be is a man not deficient In an or
dlnary education, and hla ability Is good
enough. He Is no doubt capable of filling almost
any ordinary position. But tbe fact is,
our people do not want blm to be their postmaster.
Nobody knows this better tban he
does. And the old trick of getting recommendations
or endorsements for another
position and then running off to Washington
to get the Abbeville postofflce has been play_

Mr. Tolbert tnlnks he 1b entitled to an office
because be Is a Republican and has suffered
because of dlfierences between himself and
bis neighbors.
This newspaper Is not informed as to
trbether Mr. Tolbert Is a Republican. But we
presume that our people have little doubt
that be and bib kindred bave consistently
and persistently sought to eocourage race
antagonism. They have been at times so
offensive that at least some of them had to
flee from their homes temporarily to escape
the wrath of enraged neighbors.

man, then we think Mr. R. R. Tolbert Is a
.Republican. If It be necessary for a
man to endorse the principles of the Repub
Mean party, can anybody tell as Mr. Tolbert's ?
sentiment* as to any of the leading issues be- 1
tore the country, past or present. '
Who knows bow be stood on the ratifies- 8
, Hon of the treaty of peaoe with Spain ?
Whgt.dnM ho think of the ratification of the ?
I " *"*"------r
San Domingo treaty ?
Whai does he think of the tariff which ?
| builds up the South? *"
Wbut does he tblnk of the ship subsidy ? |j
What does he think of the proposed reduo(
tlcn of Southern representation In the bouse .
, of representatives?
' We venture the opinion that few or none ol 1
, Mr. Toibert's neighbors have beard blm on
, these subjects. And we venture that there If
a division of sentiment on these questions
? among our own people.
If the President Is to oontlnue to reward
g disturbers ol the peace, and Is to give poet
offices as to reward to those who excite an
e ,
, tagonlsms between the races we are confronte
ed wltb a lamentable state of affairs. If ? (
disturber of the peaoe and If an exciter of II '
feeling among our people Is to be rewarded
for bis trouble, then President) Roosevelt It
Inconsistent. if our Information Is oorreci
and If our memory Is not at fault he sought
to bring about a settlement of the differences
between the strikers In the coal mines and Id
Chicago. He advised with them, looking to
peace or a restoration of friendly feeling between
laborers and capitalists. Should those
who encourage revolt on the part of negroes 1
be rewarded with office? If so, why the '
difference of treatment accorded to .Northern
laborers and Southern laborers ?
In one thing Mr. Tolbert certainly Is not a
Democrat, namely : He does not seek office
from tbe people, but goes to Washington for
an appointment over this people, Jiud against
their well known wishes.
If tbe President would be consistent be
should treat Southern laborers as be treats
Northern laborers. If he exercises himself to
brine about amicable'and pleasant feelings
between Northern labor and Northern capital
?hs Khnnid he reward Southern fomenters
of strife, by giving ihem Federal office?
\ For a hundred years the Tolberls have
, been respeoted for their ability and their ^
, personal courage. And op to thirty years
ago they were honored as among our most ?
thrifty and the best educated of our peop e.
But for the last thirty years some of them j
have been seeking office?not by the votes of
their own flesh and b ood?but by aagerlng
them, and by appealing to Washington. c
It is for others to say whether the Tolberts
have not tormented or harassed this people
for thirty years. One of the Tolberts was
awarded with the offioe of collector of the
port lu Charleston. One was postmaster at
Ninety Six. One was postmaster at Mc* *
Cormlck. One was postmaster at Abbeville. [
One was postmaster at Oreen wood.
It may be that the records at Washington
would show the fidelity with whloh each dls- 8
oharged his duty.
It would seem that the people's forbearance
have|been put to a severe test. While there 0
has been times when some of Tolberts might
have been killed If the people ooutd have
found them when in their rage, yet we tblnk
the President might be a little considerate of
ths communities that have borne so much.

labor with the same friendly and paolflo aa.l t

principles of the Republican party, it Is also

of alleged Republicans who are in faot disturbers

would not think of voting for a stirrer up of
