The Press and Bannei Bv W. W. and W, K. Bradley, HUGH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. a^Published every Wednesday at 12 s year In advance. . Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1908 Viewed From Different Wtan?lpolntH. Last week we spoke disapprovingly of tbe establishment of a dispensary at North Augusta, which Institution, as we understood^ was opened uuder protest from the people 01 that town. We were so stupid as not to see that the dispensary was opened for thlB pur pose, Monday to quench the thirst of "dry'' Auguetans and to enrich Aiken.oounty. On the ground that Augusta has flooded with liquor the land of that good and plout prohibition brother Mr. Sturkey, we are willing for Augusta to get a little of her own meuicme. It seems too, tbere are two views to be U.ken of prohibition any bow. Someofoai friends suggest that this prohibition wave may not reach so very far, if it is learneo tbat prohibitionists are in earnest. Problbltionlsts as a rule, are each firm patriotic motives in desiring to save others. The; think the other fellow needs to be restrained from drink. They themselves need no restraint. They are good enough any bow. Tbey ought to be allowed to drink at pleas* ore. Tbe prohibition vote may be redaced from three causes; First?If men are convinced that their own supply of liquor 1b cut oil. Second?Tbey may think tbat blind tiger liquor will supply every demand, and: 3hl:d?Tbey may conclude that It Is belter to let the drinkers of liquor pay for tbe court bouse than to raise the money by taxation on tbelrown properly. The people of McCormlck propose, so wt are told, to take off about onc-tblid of tb< property or Abbeville county? If tbey thould do so, tbey must first provide fo> their ebsre of the 800.0C0?11 e debt of the county for the court codec and other matter* Included. If they would make the burden light ihey ought to buy their liquor at tb< Abbeville dhpensary, or if they have scruples about the whiskey Hue, and are too purt and too good to accept the profits they ought to close the dispensary and march up to the captain's cfHce with the necessary cash tc settle every body's taxes. The patriotism o{ the best of prohibitionists would get a cbll1 If tbey bad to pay the taxes of the other fef low. Just as they would be brougiit standing up, If they thought prohibition would atop their own supply ol fire water. Id one sense prohibitionists and religionists are not totally different. Each Is piomp ted by desire to benefit other dtople. Tbey themselves, are sober enough and good enough for all purposes, and need no law to restrain them from drink, and being good and pious enough .In this world to entitle them to the oholcest seats In the .chair that surround the Great White Throne In the celestial city, tbey need iio note lellglon, bnt as a safeguard against possible deviations from the path of duty, tbey are willing as a compromise with the Lord, to give something to spread his goepel to distant parts. Whenever you see a prohibition leader - who thinks that be himself needs protection against the evils of liquor, and whenever you see a religionist vlclferatlng for foreign mls^ elons, who does not think and aot like be bad all the religion he needed for present user please send us a postal card with his picture on it. It Is noble and patriotic to have a case for the welfare of others. It Is obeying the divine authority to preach the gospel to everybody, even 11 we ourselveBhave a surfeit of piety. Tbe Cotton Hill*. " The cotton mills of Sooth Carolina, 1907, letters written to tbe News and Courier by August Kohn, Columbia Bnrean. Tbe News and Courier," Is tbe title of a book wblcb basjust been printed by the Daggert Printing Company of Charleston, S. C. TbU Is an exceedingly Interesting book, w hlch should be In every man's library. It 1b doubtless the best and tbe most reliable book tbat was ever written or ever will be written on the subject of cotton mills. Mr. Kobngoes further, ollmbs higher, dives deeper and woikB harder for his facts than any mac who ever wrote a book. As a newspaper man be deals In cold facts without coloring. And we have come to the oonolusion that when he makes a statement It is true. This book on oolton mills Is simply invaluable and we wlsb tbat all tbe old maids all tbe liars, and all tbe detainers of cotton mill folks would read It Bat don't you ask a* to lend you our book. We are not going to let yon have It. Nobody but a newspaper man can know the value of the book or the labor that It cost. From a Dry Conn (jr. Mr. Nicholas M. Taggart, of Mississippi: Is on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Chalmers. Al> though Mr. Tsggart Is a native of this county, he knows very few of our people. He left us many years ago for his more western home Among the notable things to him Is our dispensary. He thinks the sobriety and good order of our people attest that the dispensary Is ihn hatter nlnn than In mnnv r.thnr -37aT7 of selll ng liquor. When asked If be lived Id "dry" connty be aald "yes, and K Is the oonfoundest wettest oonnty there Is. The Lrtlslnlnre. The legislature of South Caroltnrx Is now Id sesslOD. We are not Informed as to what that august body will do, bat we presume that the old issues wfll receive attention, namely: The lien law and the whiskey business. The number of men wbocarrled In their pockets ' bills to repeal the Hen law Is not kDown, and so far as our knowledge goes It Is a profound secret as to how many problbltlan bills are held In reserve. Tne bills to do away with oounty dispensaries are all bid, and are liable to be brought out at any time. If we were guessing, we would guess that tbo Carey?Cothrap law, with some Improvements will BtSDd. Tbe lien law will be repealed. Tbe new legislature to be elected this summer will see tbe necessity for re-enactmont of tbe lien law. Tbe legislature will no doubt see tbe necessity for doing sometblDg to disturb tbe peace and prosperity of tbe State and this can be more readily accomplished by Btrlking renters aud land owners. William Billy Bryan seems to be ahead Id the race for tbe Democratic sacrifice in the coming Presldental race. If anybody sees a cbaDce lor tbe Democrats to win. don't you tblnk tbe large msjority of Democrats who oppose Bryan should have consideration. A united Democracy would certainly develope more strength than a divided party. And then Bryan's ldollc smile Is well nigh unbearable. j Will samebodo please Bend ub a postal card 11 Democrats In WasblDgtou propoae something and cease to object to everything. lladdon'o Wblte Goods Sale. We call attention to the advertisement or the old reliable firm ot R. M. Haddon & Co. They are now offering special attraction In white goods, laces and embroideries.

Stephen D. Lee was Id town for a d last week. He, like other old soldiers, soi times likes to fight his battles over. He toys the distinction of being the only Conl erate General that ever gave old Sbermai ,'ood drubbing. General Sherman s 30,000 troops on a mission near Vloksb along the Ybzoo river. General Lee lefi nice road for General Sherman to pans alo but at the same time he placed guards to aumber of 2 200 to see that the Union ar did not pass. The battle of the Bayon Chickasaw came off at tbe appointed p't The result was that In a lew minutes Union army wan ranted, as we learn from i books, with a cost to them of 192 killed, wounded, and 766 missing. And bo the ba of tbe Chickasaw Bayou deserves as blsU a place In history as that of Thermopylae. Gen. Lee la the only Confederate Lieut 4nt General who Is alive today. He Is c 75, but looks like he might live for a li time yet. This editor was In tbe war w some of tbe General's kinsmen, namely: : half brother Laurens Lee, and his brotbsrlaw, Samuel J. Hunter. Laurens Lee ' killed at Murfrcet-boro, and Mr. Hunt-rd ID e loriaa aouui a year auu iu [joi everybody knows and respects bis felnen St. Clair Lee of 0 em wood. General Lee came back to Abbeville, be says, for the last time. He baa sentlm tbout seeing and properly keeplDg the grs of bis father and mother. His motbtir ' burled at C&lbonns Mills when be wa little boy so young that bis only remi orance of her was when be was led by nand at her funeral. He wrnt last Thure morning to Calbouns Mills, and returne< Abbeville by one o'clock. In the aftern of the same day he went to Upper Long C 4rave yard to see bis father's grave. the General stopped at The Eureka, was Invited by Mrs. Lee to spend tbe even of the same day at her house. Mrs. Mars was also Invited to come to meet the Gene and Miss Kate Marshall was also Invited i witness or listener to the Interesting sto of Incidents that occurred before she arrl on tbe stage. Mrs. Marshall was a neighbor of the I when both were much younger tban they today. The meeting of Mrs. Marshall, G eial Le', and others was a most delightful caslon for those who love to ltve over scenes and the Incidents of their early 11 Think of It. A man of 75 carried out program for a single day. Althoogb tbe n and Blush between Abbeville Bnd Calbo Mill were not Boaroe, yet be went tbe tblrt miles and back by one o'clock. He t went to Long Cane cemetery, and aftei this he spent a delightful evening with friends and kinsfolk.

General Lee's mission, beelde seeing living kindred and tbe graves of those ' bave died, is to appeal to tbe Legislature an appropriation for a monument to tbe ( federate dead wbo now lie In tbe Vlckst National Fark on wblcb Park the Nortt States are spending large Bums to bean!
