' '^*-7v? The Press and Banner, Bv W. W. and W, R. Bradley. I HUGH WILSON, Editor. _ ABBEVILLE, S. C. -WPubllshed every Wednesday at #*2 a year In advance. Wednesday, Sept. 18,1907. Reply to Mr. W. O. Mlurkey. The article which appears In the McCormlck Messenger ol lust week iu the editorial columns aud signed W. O. Sturkey" Is copied Into thib week's i'ress and Banner. Upon that article, which 1 regard as misleading, I would make some comment. As to "Abbeville being much stirred up about a petition being circulated asking that the people of Abbeville County be given the right to express themselves * In regard to dispensaries." I. know nothing. I do not know that there is a petition being circulated, and I have not seen anybody who baa Intimated that he knows anything of such petition. 1 suppose If I bad not seen notices In papers outside of the county, that I would not have heard of It until tbe reception of the Mcsserger of last week. It Is generally not! In cood taste to eo on the defensive be fore a man Is aooustd. Why should Mr. Hturkey speak of "orlme'' lii contending for hlB rightb? "As cltitfcDH of Abbeville County we have gone at this matter boldly and fairly," says Mr. Sturkey. To whom does ^e refer as "wet" As to the "boldness" in attempting to Intermeddle with the administration of the affairs of a neighboring town to which Mr. Sturkey seldom goes, and for which town he may entertain spite, I have nothing to say. Anybody can form his own opinion of the act of a gratuitous intermeddler. As far as I am Informed, yon are in no way Interested In the government of the town of Abbeville. KTeither you nor your neighbors buy liquor here, as 1b evidenced by the following statement: Mr. Hugh Wilson: Dear 81r: In reply to your Inquiry, I would say tbat I believe one hundred dollars will cover amount of liquor sold to McCormlck people during the last year. Respectfully, J. E. Jones. I have taken the trouble to ascertain the dispenser'# estimate of the amount of liquor sold to McCormlck. JSow, will you tell us bo* much liquor has been (hipped over the railroad to McCormlck? And will you kindly tell the people of Abbeville what effort you have made to stop the shipment ol liquor to McCormlck? How many Illicit / dealers In liquor have you had arrested? Yon say: "We| don't* think It would be a crime for ;those .who would vote contrary to our wishes to sign the petition, which does not bind them to vote for us." No; it would be no "crime" for a man to stnltlly himself by talking one way and voting another, bnt It 1r a little unusual for a gentleman to act double, or two faced. II a man want* tbe dispensary voted out, let him, like a man say so, and vote that way. We can rasped the man who talks straight and letahla aots square with his talk. You, by Insinuation have much to say about petition lor tbe new court bouse. Read what yon say, and tben read tbt petition which was addressed to tbe mem bers of tbe Legislature, as follows: Tbe State or Soutb Carolina, County ot Abbeville. To tbe member* of the General Assembly for Abbeville County: We tbe undersigned citizen* and taxpayers of tald connty respectfully petition and pray that yon make provision for tbe building of a new Courthouse for Abbeville County at tbe next meeting of the General Assembly. Tbe Grand Jury recommend In their last report thai a new Courthouse be built so that pro vision can be made for protection of tbe reoordi. We are Informed that a new Courthouse can be bnllt by a levy of one mill on the dollar on tbe taxable property of thf oountyfortbe next six years. We are aUc Informed that the extra mill which we bave been paying for some time past will durlnv tbe year 1907, finish paylne th? fv>nn?. ~?* _ "J VI ucoi, ana idst by retaining tbls extra mill for six yearn loDger we can build tbe new Courthouse, taxes remaining ibe name tbe; bave hem /or tbe past several years, and yonr petitioners wl 1 ever pray etc. Tbls petition was signed by 1062 representative citizens. And yet you intimate, or state, tbat you bave never seen bat one man who bad 6lgned tbat petition'. II your other statements are of no more value would It not be well lor you not to furtnei | expose your Ignorance. You came wltbln j 1061 of knowing all tbe facts. Mr. 8turkey Bays: "The people of Abbeville county are sore about this matter, wbicb they balleve has been forced upon them."* I know Mr. Sturkey would not make a statement without at least some basis for It. 1 therefore ask Mr. Sturkey to name some ol the* men wbo are "sore," and who believe this '-matter kas been forced upon them." Give the names, Mr. Sturkey, or else be "bold" and "fair" enough to admit tbat you spoke without authority and without other facts than your own Imagination. This people have respect for tbe sincerity and bonesty of tbe people who preach tem r?iiun. nuere orwtien bave you made a temperance speech? Have yon not Intelligence enough to know tbat tbe people may bave grounds to think tbat the whole tenor of your utterance, as copied from the Messenger, misrepresents tbe (acts BDd tbat that misrepresentation bad 'or Its purpose tbe misleading of tbe people, and the drawing ol attention away from tbe real animus of yonr utterance? I think tbat you know eBOUgh to know tbat people are largely judged by tbe character and tbe style of tbelr cburcbeB as well as by tbelr public bulldlDgs. Respectable and high toned people in every land build good homes In which to live. Intelligent and Belfrespectlng ccmmunltles build fine oburches. and every corporate body of people who would deserve tbe publlo respect, make tholi' nnKlU u *11 J' * (.mu.iu uuijuiugs Bucn as to show the estimate in which they hold themselves. There 1b do testimonial so plain and so forcible In showing forth the character and the pride of a people as the appearance of their ? public buildings. People estimate themselves according to their public buildings, and the world gauges Its respect for others by tbelr buildings, which no man can deny, Is the unerring testimonial of true character. While It Is true tbat men may honestly oppose the tearing down of the old tobacco barn with Its plaDk shutters, yet It Is equally true tbat such men represent a very small per cent of the Intelligence, the rc6peotablllty and the pride of the people of this county. A man that was satisfled to let that old and unslchtlv strurtnre stand, while be opposed the building of a new and elegant structure had a mighty poor conception of tbe real situation and be mast know little of tbe Influence which public buildings silently, but unerringly and powerfully exert. i No such man has a right to mlsrepresent them by appealing to tbe lowest prejudice tbat can animate tbe human heart. I may respect tbe honesty of tbe man who opposes tbe action of a people in asserting their pride and self-respect by tbe conStruc Hon of buildings which are worthy of the people, bnt I pity bis Ignorance and feel sorry for his lack of pride in the people among whom be lives. Suob a man has no ' right to speak for Abbeville County. He voices no worthy sentiment of this people, and I am surprised. Mr. Sturkey, that you should attack the .respectability of the sentiments that would give expression in the new Court House. . I believe that good citizens of McL'ormlok j seed and deser\ e a Court house of their own. 'Xhe people of this town, aa far aa I know, -svor the erection of a Court house at McCor- 1 mlck. Certainly the Press and Banner TG favors the McCormlcfc Court House and * stands now and forever not to Interfere with the erection of Its public building or Its County Rovernment. Your protest comes then with 111 grace at a time when you contemplate au early separation. You propose to prescribe the policy for this County government, and then would run from it. TLe Press and Banner and the people of Abbeville favor the McCortnlck Court House for these and other reasons. First?The people need It. Hecond?The trade and business of Abbevllle would not be Injured. J Thlrrl It Vtrmlr.tr Hnua nnt OPtl B. POUTt "* bouse, some otber section of tbe county that now trades with us, may want a Court house, which would lnfllot loss upon us. As McCormlck does not buy her liquor at Abbeville, that town has no sort of right to Interfere with our dispensary, except as she may wish to Intermeddle with a matter which does not ooncern her. Abbeville has great respect lor the people of MoCormlck. Although their candidate for the Legislature at that the recent election was unknown to us, yet at tbe request of some good men of that town, we voted for blm. And he has proved to be aB high, as W honorable and as good a representative as any people on earth cjuld wish to have. But be aots'aloDg lines entirely different from Ignorant or spiteful people who would raise a disturbance when tbe hopes of this people are about to end In fruition. The people of Abbeville county will have a court house of which they will be proud. Q( And the mourners or tbe howlers, because of tbe absence of tbe old tobacco barn with lis plank shutters, will bide their (aces In very (theme, The few opponents of the new public buildings are not without a spark of pride and their manhood will later aBsert itself and they, too, will rejoice In the new court bonse. _ Tbe strangest and most unacoonntable thing In this strike at tbe people Uetf in the tact that you if you felt disposed to intermeddle In a matter wblch remotely concerns you !b, tbat yoo did not raise objection at tbe right time and before tbe people of tbe ooun- I ly were commuted this great undertaking at M eo large an outlay. | Ten hundred and sixty-two of tbe people of J. tbe county petitioned tbe Legislature lor authority to build a new court bouse. I am informed tbat fewer than fifty men ontalde of McCormlck refused to Join that petition. The signers of tbat petition entered upon tbe work In tbe confident expectation tbat their taxes would not be Increased. They expected tbat the levy already made upon tbem, together with tbe dispensary profits would In a few years pay tbe debt without seriously burdening them. While all this was going on, what did you do, Mr. Starke?? You "boldly" and "fairly" kept quiet, in obscurl ty and waited until tbe people had entered into a contract, involving a large sum, and you "boldly " attempt to cut off tbe expeoled revenue and propose to tax tbe people ten times as much as was expected. Tbe "bold" and "fair" time for yon to fight tbe dispensary was before tbe people entered upon tbelr oontract to build tbe court bouse. Bat you were so "bold" and so "fair" that yon remained silent until tbe people awarded tbe contract, and now yon propose to Inter fere and place upon tbe.people a much beavl or mia tuttll who uuulcuj^iabou. 1u / uu1 uuuu hatred for Abbeville, or your unaccountable desire to botber with Abbeville, you seem to be oblivious to tbe fact that yon are laboring to fix a heavy burden on tbe people ol Mo- ^ Cormlck. If you and your associates succeed In shutting up tbe dispensary tbe people ot McCormick mast pay its share of tbe in- J creased taxation. Having remained silent while tbe progressive people were desirous of a new court bouse It ill becomes you to strike * at us. it is too late lor you to make either "bold" or "/air" pretense at being at work for tbe Interests of the people of tbe county. It seems that if tbe people of McCormick approve of cuttuug off tbe revenue of the county tbey would plaoe a much heavier burden on tbe people of vour own town. Sucb act Is a most extraordinary proceeding. I know that McCormick will sooler or later want a court bpuse of her own,ana that If she should be exceedingly anxloi a to pay for ours would be a little out of tbe ordinary. Even If McCormick should get a court house of her own, tbls debt will stick to her oloedr than a brother. Sbe must pay her share, evnn after the new county Is formed. While I make no pretense at knowing the law myself, I am Informed that it 1s the opinion ol Bome of tbe best legal talent at Abbeville that the ?lection for voting on tbe dltnunKflrv ronnnt h? lipid tapforp the Dpneral r ?-?/ * ? ? ? Election la November, next year. Then wty disturb tbe peace and serenity of the people now? By November, 1008, other towns will bave bad experience, Irom which we may profit. Until you see that liquor la kept out of McCormlck, I think you netd not concern youraeJl about a town to whloh your people seldom come, and from which they seldom ' buy any liquor. Well, now, Mr. Sturkey, I am profoundly grateful to you for your tender solioltude for tbe welfare of tbe people of Abbeville, but upon more mature reflection, I believe that I have more respeot for tbe man In North Car- _ ollna who made a lortune attending to his own business. I bave no knowledge thatany citizen of Ab- T bsville has ever presumed to interfere with opt tbe municipal government of tbe town of on McCormlck, and I think it auperservlceable tbe In you to propose to interfere with our tbe liquor laws as long as McCormlck makes no the protest at the shipping in great quantities of wa< it right nnder Mr. Sturkey's nose. not Respectfully, bra Hugh Wilson. tiv< , , , add ~ W Death of Mr?
