p,,,, . t The Press and Banner Bv W. W. and W, E. Bradley. 1 HUGH WILSON, Editor. ? i ABBEVILLE, S. C. r wPnbllshed every Wednesdp at 82 a year lp advance, Wednesday, March 14, 1906. ?. Minutes of Conference. The minutes of the recent meeting of the Soatb Carolina Methodist Conference were printed by the Press aod Banner, and ready for delivery within the time limit of the contract?(Sixty days from receipt of copy> Some of the copies were shipped before the explra. lion of the lime. The last of the shipments were either pnt into the Express offloe or the Post office last Monday. This is a big job for a oountry printing offioe, and conld not have been done by any office that had not a good force of printer*, plenty of type ana ruleB, together with the necessary machinery. It is a book of 147 pages, tbe greater part of which was tabular work. 7,000 copies were printed. The Babcock Pony Press did tbe printing. The folding was done by the prettleat young ladles to be found In the town ship. Tbe stitching was Q Q0 Uy 4iaoi.vi < Willie Edmonds on a Morrison stitcher. The trimming was done on a Sanborn power cotter. All tbe maoblnery, Including tbe press, the Btltcher, and tbe cotter were ran by a two-horse engine. With less equipment the work coold not have been done on time. it la believed that tbe Job will give entire satisfaction to those lor whom it was done. To a casual observer tbe Job appears to be a good one. If any of oar friends are In need of , printing olany kind, they would do well to consult the Frees and Banner office. Tbe plant is first class In all its appointments, and nc better or more effloient printers ooold be found anywhere. Those who get bids from this office may rest assured that 1 they will not pay more than tbelr work Js worth. vj? . mm mm " >TI?^ Persecution of Senator Nmoot. It seems that this country will never let op ; on the Mormons. Although poligymy has been abollsbed in Utah, tbe alvorBe still , exists in all the States, exoept In Soutb Carolina. Betore an unprejudiced Jury, It Is quite probable that poligymy would be deemed less ? - a KnohonH ! fa iln than divorce, id pougy uijt .? must support all bis wives. In divorce grantlog States a man may marry as many women -- as be'pleasea, conditioned on the act of throwing the preceding wife out of doors before! taking the succeeding one to blB borne. And yet tbe hypocrites In Washington and else-| ' where who tolerate divorces, cry out against I the Mormons, twenty years after the; bad abolished pollgymy. ' Being shy of better grounds for persecuting Smoot, it Is charged that tbe Mormon ohurch Is a political organization. Any man with half sense and half an eye could make aoh a charge against all tbe churcbes. And Investigation would prove that church affiliation does not Injure a politician's chances oi receiving tbe votes of bis associates. Representatives from no divorce granting State have the moral right to throw stones at anybody. Tbe thing for Senators to do is to give a true verdict. If Smoot has a good ebaraoter and Is worthy to bold a seat in tbe Senate It wonld bean outrage on justice and fair dealing to unseat him because of bis oburchiy relations. If he Is a good Mormon and obeys the moral law, he can very well compare notes with bis colleagues In the Senate. >" -4 ' The Crazy Wave. II Tbecraiy wave wmco camru travel?> I ; meaning men off tbelr feet on tbe subject 01 r oppoaition to tbe dispensary, seems to have I expended Its energy and Is now receding. An (bedewsand Courier said a few days ago, Abbeville is tbe only county In tbe western . a?Btlon of tbe State wbich bas not voted out I, tbe State mm mill. Tbe olty newspapeis are delighted at tbe success of tbe misguided men wbo have voted tbe dispensary oat. L At present it seems tbat there 1s little sentl[' men t against tbe dispensary, and tbe revela> tlons of tbe investigating committee have Impressed oar people wltb tbe necessity of a more faltbfnl enforcement of tbe law. And [ t tbe successful candidates for tbe Legislature will likely support tbelr contention. Tp an unprejudiced mind tbe dispensary * appeals to reason, and Its regulation of tbe wblskey traffic will be good. If the law is enforced; Tbe new wblskey State Board oi Control Is starting out rlgbt by, having an ei? aot accounting of goods now on band. And tbey are right In requiring tbe use of request blanks. - We hope that Abbeville may never be afflicted by blind tigers as bas been our sister town of Greenwood. Tbe Journal would lead ua to believe tbat a-terrible state of affairs existed tbere In tbe recent past. Tbe Killing Hones Paib. On Fttdfcy.'oT last week John Marlon Ashley x and Policeman Wblte became involved in a * '?"?-t ?-? n>olni.lr In lh#aft?r. if aimoUJiy ai ni?u-p??oi uto u ??'v. ..... noon. Reports have It that Mr. Ashley fired upon Potloeman White hitting his billy and & finger of one. hand, when Mr. Wblte returned tbe fire with fatal effect, Asbeley dying at balf past nine o'clock that night. It seems that the Policeman attempted to arrest a son of Mr. Asbeley, when be protested and tbe firing began. It bas been reported In tbe newspapers that ( whiskey was tbe caase of tbe trouble, but we [ do not see bow a tragedy In Honea Path oould be charged up to liquor. Honea Path bas no dispensary and Is a "dry town." When we bad a tragedy In Abbeville several years ago, It was charged to our dispenFary, and we oooid not disprove the oharge tbatdiepensary liquor was there. But how any reasonable person cculd believe that liquor could be bad at Honea Path and would be drunk at that place, contrary to law, Is more than we can understand. Perish tbe thought. Colambia'a Piety. ' Columbia Is in tbe throes of a religious spasm,and tbe authority s propose to stop tbe "sale of fruit, soft drinks and cigars on Sunday exoept by and through the slot machine", II wblcb Judge Hydrlck said were not violating tbe law." Tbe next thing we may expect It the forbidding of boarding bouses to serve warm baab at the breakfast table on Sunday morning. Springfield rioters have been convloted. Now, let tbe leader apply for a post office or a seat In Congress. Tbe leader who can get alot of negroes killed and bave tbelr bouses burned In Oblo ougbt to receive his reward, Ind a post office or a contested seat in Congress Is tbe handleBt thing In sight.

Ever and anon we learn of a despoiled bom and of some poor outraged buman belot taking tbe life of the despoller. Tbe latest case Is tbe killing of Miss Cbap pelte Wblsenant by her sister Mrs. Willi Sandlfer. In tbe city of Atlanta. Saob cases as tbls ninally ellct mncb spec alatlonasto tbe Justice or unjastlce of sncl a killing.

So many men so many opinions. Our Jurors readily acqalt one who has kill ed tbe despoller of bis bome. So great kind ness wellls up in men towafd one wbo bui fere thus, and there Is such unuterable loatb tng toward tbe perpetoator of such a deedmight we not oall It crime?tbat the cour usually renders a quick verdict of "no guilty." He has suffered enough, we think let blm go. Looking at tbe matter In tbe light of rea son it seems tbat very little is to be galnec by killing tbe perpetrator of saoh a orime Could tbe bome be restored thereby then mlgbt be some reason in it, could tbe In Jured man or woman lessen tbe unuterabli misery ofit by awarding death to tbe doer o tbe wrong, there' mlgbt be some reason in it but wreaking 'yengeanoe thus only adds U tbe misery one already experiences.

In suob troubles tbe right person Is not al ways killed or rather tbe most gnllty Is no always the one to suffer. Is It not better to leave It all, and though 1 be a great trial to resist tbe Impulse to kill at least for a wbllt, Is It not better to get on and leave It, and float, a dereilot, until tbi waves of time shall wash tbe wreek upon th< shores of eterotljT Then there will be no ao onslng voice to haunt tbe poor blaokenec days tbat remain of life. "Vengeance Is mine I will repay." Post Office Customs. The business of the Abbeville pout office It estimated as fol-ows. By white people 95 per oent. By negres 5 per oent.

Don't Take Off Your Flannel. Too many persons at the approach of spring throw oft their flannel on the first warm davs. This should not be done. Ifthnhpuvv winter flannel Is oppressive exchange it fot lighter underwear. The tbln cotton or gauzt underwear should be worn tbrougbont tbc year. Flannel should not be worn next to the body, but it should be worn over cotton, Flannel should not be washed, and there Is no occasion to wash It, if worn over tbln knii cotton. Flannel may be aired to keep II odorless, but the Idea of washing flannel doee not now prevail. Because of the un preparedness ol the system for cold weather, heavy flannel it more necessary In the early fa 1 than in the middle of the winter when the system U braced up for tbe season. In Bpring a different course should be persued. Change heavier for lighter goods without making too sudden a change. Tbe first of Jnne is the right time to shed the last of your winter goods.

Representative Hall of Anderprn County iP wuR In town for a day or two Ix^t week, and ; ft we had the pleasure of meeting blm. On the I subject of the recent abuse of the taxpayers bis head is so level on top that quick silver woul-tn't run off of It. He takeB no sort of stock In the demagogical howl that so lately i brokeout In tbisState against the tax payers. Theappeal for prejudice of the non taxpayers agalust the taxpayer can be understood or 11 interpreted according to each man's notions Our own notion Is that It was based on a show to catch voles or else on a disposition to attend to other people's business. The veriest ideal in the State of South Carolina is obliged to know under whatever assessment the property holders must pay the fiddler. Those who pay do taxes are not particularly Interested, and as far an we are Informed, they have taken no stock in the abuse of tax payers. Mr. Hall thinks If two men own land of , equal value, and one of them Improves his - farm, while the otner allows bis farm to go to waste, that the best farmer should be punished by an extra assessment over and above that of his Improvident neighbor. And be Is right, The Legislature did right in settiDg * down hard on the would-be persecution of good and thrifty citizens. To raise the taxes of the thrifty Is to place a penalty on thrift and to offer a reward for trlflingness.

W. Wblt . Dr. McHardy says w ' that tbe last day be was In Abbeville was on st i "Big Tuesday" In 1876, and tbe memory ot i tbat day still lingers wltb him. lD i Tbe Newberry Herald and News has tbe , following to say about Dr. McHardy. M i Prol. McHardy is tbe son of Admiral Mc- P{ ; Hardy,'and grandson ol.Nelson's famous . flag-lieutenant, wbo suggested l&at the woid 18 i "txpecta" should be signalled Instead of "relies" He is one of the most widely fcncwn 'D f men In London, received witn cordiality In i royrtl circle-, weloome at clubs wbere hie " i bonbonnle, buruor and transparent unconi ventionallty are refreshing novelty upon the jaded artificiality ot town life, tbe Irlend of ualftbe threatlcal world, from Miss Ellen Terry d owd wards, and tbe bandy maa oi A limitless resource to every distressed oreat- re ure wbo wants bU services. So a reoeut lsaue ai of the Review of Reviews describes Professor 81 Malcolm McHardy wbo Is now In this city. ..Professor McHardy Is today one of tbe world's most famous oculists. He was Intend- E ed fof a mechanical career but be disliked It, and when tittle more than a child be entered 18 the medical career. From tbe age of seven- 'e teen, when he went to St. George's as a medloal student, be has entirely supported himself, often tilling three distinct poets at the hl same time. Prof. McHardy in addition to being a great oculist, is also a good archltec , cl baving drawn up all the plans of tbe Royal Eye hospital. He is also a good mariner, a If decent carpenter and a fair draughtsman, p' He has Invented a self registering Instrument {* for accurately and swiftly measuring tbe 111 field of vision, and It Is one of the IncSlspensa- 111 ble acoesst r< of eye surgery today. r? Professor McHardy is popular In his native 01 land. Tbe reason Is not far to seek. It has been w rltten of hlu that "some years ago, 18 wbUat forming one of a oommlttee to Inquire loto tbe sight of railway servants, be found that to arrive at oorreot conclusions it was I necessary for him to ride upon engines w< amidst sipoke, rain and snow, and did not bl shrink from doing so." "A man wbo has H not only an enormous private practice," it is in stated In an account of bis life, "but could Fi I double and treble It If he so doslrt-d, pc achieves bold brilliant operations that are Q, ; tbe envy and admiration of lesa devoted men, is uot likely to be considered popular sc I amongst his professional brotnerw, lor wnose or decorum aad trade unions be cares noi one at rap." Professor McHardy is a man who ap- ch peals to men ; because of bis success In a w noble work. Humanity?that Is the keynote cm of Professor McHardy's suooess and of bis tti great popularity. tit WUeu seen yesterday morning Dr. Mo* , Hardy talked pleasantly of Newberry and d( nlber people. Dr. McHardy's last visit to U i Newberry was thirty years ago. He expects to remain here for ten days or two weeks.
