The Press and Banner : : Bv W, W, and W, R, Bradley, HUGH WILSON, Editor. |'v - ABBEVILLE, S. C. ?? Published every Weduesdt* at 82 f year In advanoe. Wednesday, Aug 1, 1906. Tillinnu iu Other Mr. Dave Humphreys of Donalds who ha spent the last three months In Florida sayj that the people of that part of the Land o Flowers which he visited take the paper EjL and keep up with Tillman and his crusade; that do not even know the name of their owi Senator. Mr. James Cheatham of this city spent som rtlme not long sinoe In tha Lone Star State and he reports that the people of Texas thlni more of Tillman than they do of Joe Bally He says they look on Tliman as belonging to the South and not to South Caroline alone. A g-entlemen from Georgia who attendei the meeting at Sunny Slope last week say they think moreof'Tillman in Georgia thai any candidate running in Georgia today, am If they had the opportunity to vote for hln they would give him a unanimous election. Another gentleman from the western state says that the people of his state look on Till man as the next president. It seem* that thi Hon. 6. R, Tillman Is more popular oat o his own state than In It. Not that be Is no popular In South Carolina, for any one fol lowing him In his canvass of the State wll be convlnoed that he Is. The eyes of the en tire United States are on the Senator. The Bible Society. The Abbeville District Bible Society me last Wednesday morning In the Associate Re formed church, Dr. J. D. Neel in the chair. After Ringing by the cboir, and a pray* r tn Mr. Wells, Capt. L. W. White moved to post pone this meeting until the fourth Wednes day Id September. He said bis reasons for de airing to postpone the meeting was tbe fac that very Jew out o! town members were pres ent. In an experience with this society fo; ritearly forty years, he thought tbls the Are annual meeting at which Due West bad n< delegate present. Tbe motion received a sec ond when Mr. L. W. Perrin suggested that tb< society receive any monies that might bi here, so tbat tbey might be sent on to tb< * parent society, To this Capt. White repllet that he thought nothing would be lost bj postponing the collections today. Mr. Harden agreed with Mr. Ferrln'ssug gestlons. Tbe chair put the motion to adjourn unti the fourth Monday In September. Carried. Dr. Neel of Troy is always present at tbe an 1 r\t thin unnlofv and htK zeal ll an inspiration, ? Home Beautiful. In the past some of the newspapers bavi Lad much to say about "city beautiful,' wbiob Is all well enough, but we tbini "home beautiful" 16 better than "city beau Uful." Abbeville has many pretty homes, whlcl are surrounded by beautiful grounds, tbi grounds around Mrs. Coleman's home nota ble among the rest. When the ground around a home are made as lovely and as at tractive as Mrs. Coleman's the city councl might excuse the owner from paying taxe for at least one year. tfcv. > > i Sunny Slope Welcomes "I'ncle Ben ?&; With Open Arms. The picnio at Sunny Slope this year was i "rouser." Between tbree and four tbousam people gathered there from Abbeville am Anderson counties, and even from Georgia The Georgians want to run Unole Ben fo president. They came over to get a rest JroD the bickerings of Hoke and Clerk, and hea some "genuine stufl," as they expressed It. ' Tbey got the "stuff" alright, and it wa warm. The burden of Tillman's speech was the dlt; pensary. He said that when he was electei Senator that be did not forlelt bis right as i citizen of South Carolina, and that It was bi right as much as any other man's to d-lscus the issues of the State and that be proposei to do so. He did so. He said that the dispensary lnvestlgatloi committee had been one grand fnrce iron start to finish. One year and 95,000 for per sons and papers he represented as being abou all ftiat was done. He took thS committee ' task lor not finding out who that "high offl clal" was, who, it was alleged, was in the pa; of the liquor men. He drew a comparison between the Stat and connty dispensary system that brough warwboops from tbe "Sunny Slopers," am made tbe county dispensary look like thlrt; cents with a hole in it. He declared that there were two'kkids c prohibitionists: one wbo wanted no liquo and anotber who wanted no dispensary, am represented the first class as being In a sai minority. ' He said further that these elections held al over the country were farcical In the ex treme; that only a moiety of the voters c thete counties were present at the polls wbei these various county dispensaries were vote out, and that when the time came somebod; would be surprised. There are a oertaln class of people, he aver red, that are of retiring disposition, aDd al though tbey drink they do not order tb whiskey themselves; they don't like to pu money in an envelope and mall It to stranger to buy any thing. Then, be sayi there Is anothar class of people that like t make money and selling whiskey suits then as well as cny other method. These tw classes, be declares, will get together in spit of all the police and all the sheriffs and al the prohibitionists in tbe country. A straight as a martin to his gourd, as stralgb as tbe magnet to Its pole these two classe will drift together. Not long since tbe State represented Till man as saying that he entered a barroom am a church with equal reverence. Tillman sali at Bunny Slope that it was a fabrication or i falsification, (but don't think for an Instant gentle reader, that this is tbe way he express ed It) that be had said no tuch thing and tha what he said was: "I enter a church or i barroom with equ?l Independence." Thl puts an entirely diflerent face on the state meat. r\i vcmarbfl ho mcntlnnfii the fact tbat be bad not bad any opponltloi fa bis races tor tbe Senate, and tbat bis pope larlty was a source of exquisite pleasure t bim. He realized tbat bis popularity and po sltlon entailed a great obligation on bis par to tbe Stateand tbat It was an obligation tba be held sacred. He knew tbat bis faltblul ness bad won tor bim tbe confidence of tb people and declared bis intention to remali isltnfnl as long as be lived. He found time to talk about Hampton am tbe "sweet scented newspapers," (but tojudg from tbe contortions ol bis face tbere mns bave been a certain kind of cat near tb stand). Sweet scented newspapers! and LTn cle Ben's Hps made a snap, and therauscle of big Jaws grabbed tbe corners of bis moutl and pulled tbem clean under bis neck ! J ten penny nail would bave snapped as east); as a piece of peanut brittle, bad it been bt . tween his teeth. These sweet scented news Daners ! Uuh ! What a face he made! Tb cr<$wd cheered him to a finish. He jumped 011 the l'ress and Banner Jo taking the part of Fraeer Lyon In the recen controversy, but made ameDd later by saylni that Abbeville county bad the best count: papers In tbe State?that tbey represented tbi people better than any otber county paper fn tbe State. Tillman said that tbe State and News an< Oonrler were only echoes of tbat same ol( ring that was knocked out In "ninety-two,' that they had not gotten over it and neve: would; tbat they were trying tbelr best, evei nop, to get back Into tbe saddle. He says tbat be Is not dictating who tbi people nball vote for, but suggested tbat w< should get a governor that would enforce tbi laws to the letter. Isotbine 1b wort-e for i country tbun to have a lot of laws on Us slat ute books tbat are not enforced. It would be impossible to tell all be said He spoke for two hours and said more tblngi in the two hours than tbe ordinary man 1 accustomed to hear in tbe same length o time. When he finishes bis tour of the State hi goes north to get money. SayB tbat be a) ways laljjs on the negro question when hi goes up there; that he likes to do it. He I not afraid of negro domination In theSoutl /tnd says tbat all the Yankees between Capi Vo& and Hades can't forcc it on tbe Soath. V ?' ? ' Auotlier Cotton Mill. Shall we have it or shall wo Dot have It? Oi This the people of Abbeville can decide for teu< themselves, and It Is only a queitlon of whether they really want It or not. My When the first cotton mill was built here ^tr less than one hundred thousand dollars was t00 : subscribed by Abbeville people or for that IIvl matter by people of the State, much of tills was not collected, and still the outcome hub eaC| beeu a STOO.tHKl mill. spe Many of ihe good uien who put their 1 money into this enterprise, and who did not for a number of years realize on their Investments, are disposed to give lukewarm support to another mill. They lose sight of the fact, that property owned by them before 'Mr , the mill was built has enhanced over fifty M per cent largely by reason of the cotton mill. Where a Iobh ol one dollar has been sustained 0|d p on deferred dividends, five have been real- qua , Ized on enhanced values. There Is no prOpo- lrj^ f sltlon plainer than this?that people and Tun industries enhance values. People and Yor I money come with each new industry. jl'.?" 3 The Seaboard railway is building larger Hga and better shops than the former structure, Tus and better office accommodations will be fure nlshed. More men with higher salaries will , be located hese than at any former time. Da t The Presbyterian High School aside from Its great value in the cause of education Is Tl ; another impetus to our financial progress, i There never was a time for us to think gve more seriously of a new cotton mill; to push T the ball already In motion. There is every t0^ 1 prospect of a good crop and of good prices. aBj 8 Our people should "reason together," and 3 KofAro lUiifi In nlQpprl hohlnil nn another mill 1 should be hd assured fact. / 1 It Is time for Abbevllie to overreach the I bounds laid out by the fathers 100 years ago I Iftln street and the public square are pretty I 6 well filled up at last and Instead of expand- 1 log and bringing In people to keep us from 5 being lonesome, a little lurtherjout than the f homes of our grandfathers, we are hept on 1 the constant move crowding each other out. Let the city expand and bring In people TH ' and build up Industries to warrant the ex1 panslon. Death of R. W. Cannon. t After an Illness of several weeks Mayor ? Robert W. Cannon, died at his home In this 0 olty July 26,1906, aged 56. f Mr. Cannon was a native of Marysvllle, . Tenn. Owing to the unsettled political con- 0 . dttlon at his home he and other Tennes- Jan: . seeans sought refuge in more peaceful comt munities. And several of them found pleas- Al . ant homes among us, where their worth and r merit were appreciated. Several of them, by t popular vote, were elected to office In the s**a > country of their adoption. Mr. Cannon was - elected Mayor of the city several years ago, Tf j before the town began to assume city airs. ^ s He was ataln called to the Mayoralty at tbe ^ f> recent election, and was discharging the 1 active duties of that office when he wan w j stricken down with an ailment which proved a?)^ fatal. , q, Ever since be came to Abbovllle he has you been a factor in the activities of the city, e 1 He had been until lately Id the mercantile cial business, but for several years he has been Li - engaged Id buying cotton. g No matter whether Id busloess, or as a E cltizeo, be was an honest and a brave man, a( who dared to express bis opinions, aod in / business he was lair and liberal. ^ He leaves a widow and three sons. prj^ The fuDeral took place in tbe Episcopal ^ , church, where a large mumber of frieDds as clan sembled to pay their tribute of respect. Kev. O. T. Porcber conducted the service. Tbe pall bearers were; Messrs. W. D. Barksdale, W. P. Greene, J. M. Gambrell, Albert ~ , g Henry, K. L. Mabry, Will White.

Carmel defeated McCormlck S to 7. The au ihorot this piece undoubudly did not see i this game, or the one that lDformed him did 6 not have any regard for the truth. s At no time did Mt, Carmel get In the game s until the ninth lnnlDg when they succeeded 1 In tlelng the score, on errors,which was 7 to 7. _ McCormlck held the lead all tne while and (jj] 3 at no time were the McCormlck boys afraid a of defeat. After they did succeed in tlelng 0E - the score all efforts were of no avail >n trying t to get Mt. Carmel to continue the game. mi, 0 The author of this piece used the expres- A L slons "As umal won." "Bobby Mars took ? the rifle pit for Mt. Carmel, while back of him A every man starred.'" We would like for him wat e to Inform us where Mt. Carmel has ever de- . t feated McCormlck since the first part of the 1 peaton of 1904, in tbe latter part of tbls season A 7 McCormlck defeated Ml. Carmel game after game. Repeated efforts failed to get them to play us any more until something prompted T| r tbem to challenge us foi a gan e In the ?ea3 son of 1905, which was promptly accepted and n 3 theMt. Capmel boys were easily deleated; at t and alBo sometime back they again chal- thr! II lenged us for a game which we promptly ac- p - cepied. and the ntxt time we cross bats with '1 Mt. Carmel we will demonstrate to them that u 1 Q we are their superiors, which, we have done C< J In the past. N v Had It not been for tbe good work of tbe aty Mt. Carmel out fielders tbere would have Q - oeen a uiiierem aiury uj icu. auo uh. um- . - met fleloers are the men tbat played the P'" e game tor Mt. Carmel and deserve credit fori**-, t their work because they were always on the """ a run. . In the game we played with Mt. Carmel In o the season ofl9051 think .bat we could safely n say tbat the author ot tbls piece participated "J?. 0 and nslng his expression I wish you could OUJ e have seen him "starring and eating them II alive" In center field. s We hope our filends at Mt. Carmel will not t send In lor print any more such pieces. B. ()f s a MT. CARMEL. gg 1 Kii I. Mr. W. L.

GEMS IN VERSE. Opportunity. Master of huaann destinies am I. Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait Cities and fields I walk. I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel and moxt and paloce, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping, wake; If feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate, And they who follow mo reach every state Mortals desire and conquer every foe Save death, but those who doubt or hesitate Condemned to failure, penury and woe, 6eek me in vain and uselessly implore. I answer not, and I return no more. ?John J. In gall* Speaking: From Experience. War ain't any jokin, so don't you pack jar traps. Buther rest in peace at home an cultivate tht craps.

Stanton in Atlanta Constitution. Having Company. The letter read: "My dearest Sue, 'Next Thursday I will spend with yoa. I won't enjoy my visit, though, If any trouble I bestow-" "Oh, I'm so glad," cried Mrs. White, "For company is such delightl" But looking round her in dismay, "I must get ready right away." Armed with a dustpan and a broom, She went to work in every room. She oiled and polished, cleaned and rubbed And mended, scoured, washed and scrub bed. Then in the kitchen she began, While perspiration down her ran, At pies and paddings, cakes and bread. As if an armv must be fed. She toiled and fretted, cooked and baked. She hurried, worried, stewed and ached. When Thursday came, she, nearly dead. Just managed to crawl out of bed. And Mrs. Company came too. They kissed and hugged like women daw And then began tired Mrs. White To make excuses, never right: "Oh, dear, my house (then waxen clean) Is most too dirty to bo seen, So shut your oyesl You're looking stout. Take off your things. I'm Just worn out "You must excuse my cooking too. It isn't lit to off or you. ('Twas tit for kings.) Too bad you coins just when I'm upside down at homel" And thus she welcomed and distressed And spoiled tho visit of hur guest, Who wished she hadn't come to be A tired woman's "company." ?Farm and Firealdfc Near, but Yet So Far.
