f J t The Press and Banner 5?.w ^ Bv W, W. and W. E. Bradley. HOUH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ?? ' ______ Published every Wednesdp at. J2 a year In advanoe. Wednesday, Nov. 21, 1906. The A. R. P. Synod. Tbe Associate Reformed Synod at Camden, Ala., last week proceeded with business so nloely that It was not necessary for that auguBt body to telegraph to the editor of the Press and Banner for help. As far as oar Information goes that body did some good work, and Instituted some much needed reforms. Among tbe good worfc was tbe election ol Rev. J. S. Moffatt of Chester to tbe Presidency of Ersklne College. Among the reforms that the church will most heartily approve was the shortening 01 the tenure ol President and Professors in Ers> klne College Irom life to five years. The college for fllty years has labored under disadvantage because of the life tenure. The change is a most excellent one, and one which has long been needed. r' What Synod probably neglected to do was the raising of salaries in Kraklne College to VU500. If Abbeville payB 81,200 for a principal teacher In onr little school, It seems that 81,500 |$ would not be excessive for a college president or professor. The Synod had much other work to do, of which we have heard nothing up to this writing. For Instance: We have not heard that the mission in Mexico has been plaoed In charge of native Mexicans, and we have not hMrd that our own missionaries, doctors. " teaohers, orphanages, magDlfloent parsonages, and medical oolleges have been ordered home. We would not be at all surprUed.l .v however, to hear thai Synod has followed the old beaten path, and that our missionaries have been continued in Mexico for another year, where, In the absenoe of knowledge on J the anbjeot, It Is presumed more money Is pent than Is expended In all the home mis-1 I slon ohtarches. We have not beard what action, If any, was i k taken to Improve, build up or enlarge the k field of uaefoloess of that old and honored int itltullon, the Dae West Female College. That beloved and honored old servant of L ' the ehnroh. Dr. Nelll ?. Pressly has been of ' late giving us through the oolumns of the As foclate Reformed Presbyterian interesting, -4fteciflo and definite information as to the actTngrand doings of the naughty Cat holies In Mexico, butlt may be that be gave to ' 8ynod an Interesting and foil account of his ' own stewardship of whlc*> we have beard so little up to this writing. " ^ V.. If he could give the Assoclai?. Reformed Presbyterian* as exact a report of own I mod work as be baa tlven of the derellc..J<u> ton the part or the Catholics, we would not only see a ray of light, or a little light, but oar senses would bedazzled by a great flood ?.. of light as to how oar money Is belDg wasted t'. In trying to proselyte Catholics in Mexico. & When the Mexican missions 1b under dte^ onsslon, we cannot forget what oar Saviour Mid to the pbarlsees and scribes aboat "com* passing sea and land to make one proselyte." While we do not apply the conclusion of that Mntenoe to onr misguided, though earnest and honest workers Is Mezloo, the quotation shows In what contempt our Saviour held '' proselyting. Our Saviour certainly <lld not S approve the work of proselyting, however - much he may have urged the sending of the gospel to the heathen. We fnlly sympathise with the beloved and devout follower of Him who died that we might live, when impertinent creatr ores begin to ask questions that might worry, annoy, or embarrass. For this reason we think those who are meddlesome enough* at carious enough, to be more desirous ol knowing what service oar beloved brother, ^"-Dr. Nelll Pressiy and his associates j?? in Mexico are rendering, snouia oe excummanloated, and sentenced to silence forever^ without benefit of clergy. Some of these sac' ' religious Interrogators affeot to be more Interested In knowing bow oar missionaries are working and spending onr money, tban - tbey are to have a whole volume about Catbolloa BS ' % fc ? The Unveil! off. Yesterday was a big day in Columbia. | Mapy the railioads ran extra trains into / the oity, and all the railroads gave very low a rates from every Quarter of the State. Ex| ourslon rat#s always bring great numbers oj L' people, and this we* no exception to tbe rule. V<~ The unveiling of tbe Hampton monument >'1' was the occasion lor tbe excursion. Every\ body honors Wade Hampton not only for bis 1 integrity, out ior nis wise ana ouuHervmiTe ... coarse In leading tbe people to redeem tbe BUte froth tbe negro and tbe alien In 1876, bat we think very few of tbe people went to Columbia on tbat account. Gratitude 1* a abort lived virtue. The great assemblage was due more to tbe advertising and to tbe cbeap rates than to any desire on tbe part of tbe people to see tbe monument unveiled. 01 course It was to tbe advantage of tbe elty to have Columbia crowded witb visitor*. - And it Is quite true tbat many persons bad a /. pleasant day, and we have no doubt tbat tbe - politicians made It a profitable one to tbem. - Tbe merchants or other business men fouud U profitable. Tbe whole day was a testlmo3 niai to tbe value of advertising and to tbe -business tact of tbe railroads wblob generally a waaH Ihlnw whon thav om it Hampton did a splendid work for South ? Carolina In 1876, and be was true to bin : v friends In after years, but we think the people ' do DOt today care much more for his memory than they oared for him in 1892. In his yooBger years, Hampton was the V peerless gentleman. In the war be was the tearless and Intrepid soldier. In 1876 be was the people's idol and tbe honored patriot wttboat reproach. But now, that be Is dead, t tbe people seem to have forgotten him, even { i aa they have forgotten Longstreet and Jack- i on, Lee and Davis. It Is well, therefore, that monuments bo erected to tbe distinguished '4ead. Without history and without mono- i nests tbe fame aDd tbe glory of our illustrious dead would perish. , While Hampton lives In tbe hearts of the Abbeville people, they feel safe In thlnklog ' that others will well do tbe ceremonials In tbe anveillng, and tbey are willing to entrust I tbe patriotic duty to others. On Monday Mr. Templeton and a friend w bote name we did not learn, went to Colum- i bla, and on tbe extra train from this place on , yesterday morning, Hon. Wyatt Aiken. Dr. ' A nderson acd bis two sons went aboard for J the capital city. Numerically Abbeville's j representation is sbort, but better represen- f tatlves could not bave been selected. I Paying the Freight. Tbe friends of tbe Hampton monument seem to be in a straight for witnesses to tbe j unveiling ceremonies. We copy tbe follow- i I. *rom 1116 LaarenHvllle Herald of last I wee*': . mFkib Fare to Columbia.?We are authorized by County Superintendent R. W. Hash to say that be will pay tbe railroad fare of all teachers who will atledd tbe unvelllDg tog of tbe Hampton monumenvaod secure tbe attendance of ten or more of tbelr school children?tbe unveiling to take place at Columbia, on 20th Instant. "The railroad fare will be one full fare for round trip, plus 25 centR." i I Without seeming; Impertinence, we would like to know by wbat authority of law, the j eblldren'a obool money can be diverted to c the giving of excursions to teaobera. 1 ? Barkoot Aronsrment Company. The Barkoot Amusement Company, which Is filling: an engagement In Abbeville and will be here for the rest of the week, is classed amongst the beat street carnival companies on the road. The show Is composed of the following attractions: Electric Theatre, Beautiful Orient, The Red Dome. The Doll JL<ady, Old Plantation show, Creation, Merry-go-round, Ferris Wheel, Penny Vaudeville House, and Big Sampson, the large snake. In detail or as a whole the show Is one ol the best of lis kind. It Is conducted In a manner that could not be objected to by any reasonable spectator and It Is affording great amusement to the people of the city and oountry. The admlesion Is most reasonable and thai the people of the city and country will aval] themselves of this opportunity tor a fen hoars pleasure and relaxation, la evidenced by the Increasing attendance on the shows. Special mention should be made of the Italian Band accompanying the show. Tbels rendition of most difficult and nrelodiout compositions In their free open air concern Is well wurtb the cost of seeing the entire show. Of a truth it may be said that sweetei or more ibrilliug music is seldom beard In these parts. OUICJ/ BVUJCIUIU| U1 iuc (CUIVUO WUCftto 4VUUV expression la tbe works of sculpture and art that adorned the "Seven Hilled City" li seen in tne musical nature of tbe Italian o tbe present day.

"Tbe Itallai tenor" Is a patent phrase. Occasionally an American must admit thai there Is something tbat his ooubtry baa'ntc 3 on op ly of and on this list might be plaoed high classed artists in vocal and lnstrumen< lal mnslc. Willing to Sell-Would Bnlld. The people are wllliDg to sell tbe tobacoc barn and Supervisor Sickles Is willing tc build a Court house. In addition to this Mayor McMillan con templates tbe tbe building of a council cbam beror a town ball. We have only this to say: If there are twe plans for either new structure, we believe tbf best, and not tbe cbeapest should be adopted Capt. Nlckles and Mayor McMillan ar< building for ithe next geneiatlon, and e house that might suit for today might not be suitable for tbe county and town forty or fifty years from this time. So to speak, these gentlemen are building tbelr own monuments. These monument) should please tbelr vanity and satisfy oui pride. Learn from the past If tbe architecture of our tobacco barn bad been of a more modern and up to date structure It would still answer for tbe purpose of a Court bouse. Bui beoause of its miserable design and ml6fit oi architecture. It Is oat of date and never wat a suitable bntldlng. people's civilization la largely Influenced ir1 Judged by Its publio buildings,- lei ot tbe |>oud people of a proud old county, be gauged by a tobacco barn. "Prominent Clllzens" find "Pretly Women." Are you not tired of tbV ^promlnent citizen" and tbe "pretty young Woman" who always figure In crime. II It wer^not foi "prominent citizens" and "pretty votfag women" It would seem that peace would be>e; stored to this perturbed nation. Ought not the nuisances of "prominent citizens" and "pretty women" to be abated ? Gov. Evans In Abbeville. Ex-Governor John Gary Evans, prince among good fellows, and a Chesterfield at all times, was In town last Monday tbe gueet oi bis friends, Judge Gary and Hon. FV B. Gary. Daring bis stay in tbe city, a number of old friends were glad to greet blm and to abake bis band. Agreeable and pleasant to all, everybody loves to meet John Gary Evans. Good Music. The carnival band baa been giving a sample of their music, wblcb seems to be good. They have played several times on tbe public square. Viewing tbe band from oar wtodow, we could not help from wondering bow tbe man with tbe big drnm knew when to strike It. Tbe carnival will be here for several days. Southerner for President, It has been suggested that tbe next Democratic Presidential candidate be taken from tbe Sooth. We belteve tbe suggestion is a good one. ir the South famishes nearly all tbe votes, we see no good reason for gol ng abroad to get a candidate. Hare's Nests. It 1* about time for tbe barroom crowd to Dring great sensations and to discover mure's nests about tbe dispensary. Tbe Atlanta Georgian, edited by John Temple Qraves, speaks of "Georgia's stately seaports" Is a seaport "stately"? Tbe ships may be "stately," bat what of the aeaportb? m m ? The Press and Banner needs a good correspondent at Dae West, for whose services a fair prloe would be paid. GOOD TELEPHONE SERVICE. Efficient General Manager ? Competent nod Obliging Operators-Heanonable Charge*. Tbe Abbeville Telephone Company started operation April, 1896, with 30 telephone*. December, 1899. a new board was bought to accommodate 150 telephones, the old one or 100 numbers having been filled, On Sept. 80ih, 1901, this board was discarded and tbe present one put In to accommodate 220 lines, 210 of which are now filled. When filled the company will be compelled to buy anew board at a greatly Increased cost. Tbe company started business with a few grounded lln?-s, and now have nearly 200 metalllo circuited lines with a large amount of cable, all of mKlah too o ro oatin rort molraft (ho lorulna a a good as that given la the very largest telephone exchange*. Tbe Abbeville Telepbone Company is the only independent company in Houth Carolina giving fall metalic circuit service day, mgbt and on Sunday, with free connections to almost 2000 telephones in this and adjoining counties. Tbe first office was opened with one operator, Miss Fannie Morrow, and now have Four of tbe very best operators, namely : Miss Alice Douglass, Miss Ollie Warren, Miss fitlie McCord, Miss Lou McCord. Tbe rates when started was 820 for business phones, and $15 for residenoe pnones per year, [n 1903 tbe charges were increased to 821 for business phones and 818 for residence phones, rbe rate ban now been increased to 830 for business and 818 Tor residence phones. Over >0 farmers phones are now connected, making a total of 250 telephones. Mr. W. M. Barnwell started tbe ezobange and is still general manager. The service given has always been good and in now considered, even by outsiders, to be equal to the rery best. Because of tbe great increase in oostof material, supplies, wages, <&c., the oouipauy bas seen compelled to increase tbe rates to business bouses to 82 50 per month, which goes into effect Jan. 1st, 1907. All buttluees has lnoreased in cost, and the improved telephone service calls tor an Increased charge for lelepboneM. With telephones all over tbe oily and county, day and algbt service, It seems that tbe new rate Is ow enoue* Their gross receipts for 1906 will se about $8,(j00, wltb expenses ever Increasing is tbe exchange grows, so tbe telephone >uslnei.8 is not the gold mine commonly ibought to be by tbe pabllc. We venture .be statement that there cannot be lound mywhere any telepbone company giving nore acceptable service, with as obliging and )ollte operators, and that tbe telepbone company Is giving more service for tbe amount sbarged than any other public institution vithln oar city.

No matter'who Is right or wbo Is wrong In tbelr quarrels among tbe ..flloern or the Cotton Association and tbe Farmers' Union, w e are to have 11 ots. or more, or there is no trade for sure. About how many acres of cotton have yon seen this year that won't pay for tbe guano used at lOo. for .cotton? Do you know wbo It is that goes about shying around getting up those cotton reports you bear so much about?

The large majority of these men have ' Increased their own crops of cotton by plant' Ing lands that were cultivated *ast year by tenants or others, while tbelr whole farms will not average muoh above half last year's 1 crop.

Many theories have been advaoced as to what would be the best plans of getting your ootton directly to the spinner upon the cheap' est plans. But sooner or lator many of these have been shown to be theories only and have offered no prsctlcal solutions of the proolem oldlrqot trades with the spinners of our cottoD. All along we have been bambooseled Into the belief tbat It was absolutely neoessasy to have a tremendous capital put ap for this business. Bat after a close study of this business, Including personal investl' gallon by some ofoor beet, buslDecs men, we ' are oonvlnoed that every bale of cotton carries within itself sufficient currency or capital to deliver it to the spinner anywhere upon tbe face of tbe earth, \ ~~1 . "Xt^bls bluff and blow about It being: necessary to create a large capital?like cotton speculator* have to do before cotton growers can b?ve a direct channel of trade with tbe ( pinner* of tbe world la a fallacy. Close investigation of tbe cotton trade, as carried on i by many, will reveal tbe fact producers of I cotton have all along furnltbed the capital In tbe way of cotton margins luelf sufficient to ' couduct tbe bualnesa. Don't talk any more about tbe producer* of cotton having to aave more money than be already has In bis own cotton bales In 1 order to go Into deals with spinners.
