w The Press and Banner Bv W. W, and W. E. Bradley, HUGH WILSON, Editor.] ABBEVILLE, S. C. *A~I'ubll8hed every Weduwday at #2 a ycar iu tuivanoe. Wednesday, April 1, 1908. Iiai|torlnnt Action of ('IrmNOD B?>ar?l. The Hoard of Trustees of Ciemaon College at the nice ing lastvvet k, separated the Kxperltncnl Stutlou work, hoth atlllemnou tuiil ou the coast Jrom the teaching olAgrlcu; Hire hi tue ujiickc- ?"" ..j,.. culture, uow employed at Ciemson, were variously assigned between tlie two branches of work, leaving borne vacancies lu the Col lege work aud making some new places Id the Experiment work. These places will be filled at the ntxt meetlDg of the Board. Prof. Harper of the Agrlcu tural Chair of tbt College, was made director of the Station work at bis request. Another matter of considerable importance is the policy adopted by the Board teaching public worship for the boys. Heretofore about twelve hundred dollars have been paid annually to visiting ministers ol note. While this has brought a high clash of men to the college, it was thought (hat the boys lost something in being deprived 01 pastoral work. It was decided to pay a supplement of&OO.to any church which would build near the grounds, and pay Its pastor as much as 8S00. In addition to this, &00 wa> appropriated to pay the expenses of member* of weaker churches not able to build, who might preach at Ciemson Irom time to time. In a general way, it may be said thai the College was never In better condition. The order la excellent, and the students seem to be doing most satisfactory work. The new ruling ol the postofflce department in reference to postage on newspapers goes into effect today. Today It) alto the editor's forty ninth anniversary in tbePre6iand Banner office. Despite all of bis laulteand all of bis indiscretions of epeecb, the people of Abbeville county bave been bib lrlend during all these jears. While in some instances be has displeased a few be feeit very proud to believe that the mnjorlty ol the people bave been and are now klndl> dlt-posed toward him. If he ever conns along tb is way again, be will settle down In Abbeville even as he did in the aforetime, to assume the duties and responsibilities of life. He woold not advise any young man to remain unmarried. An old man without e family Is very lonesome, while bis heart It bUDgry Indeed. But marriage Is the selection of a life partner In which choice fen may advise with profit. Even If a man lover the right girl, she may not bave a responsive heart. The lover feels that there can be only one for him, while the world laughs, and Buys the woods are full of girls too good for him. Admlttkg a;! this to be true, tbe real, tree, true love comes to a men or a woman but once. The second love at best 1b but b rehearsal, after tbe real play Is over?when hope: Is dead and the heart 1b cold. Tbe unfairness to tbe citizens In claim ol CIoIa envftvefontrr to troll nilt ho thfi . An deiton Mall lii explanation of the action 01 tbe Clemson trubtees to defeat tbe clalmB foi damage by acjacent landowners resulting f rom tbe building of a dike by the trustees which tbe landowners claim has caused tbelr lands to oveiflow. For the State to claim "sovereignly" to perform tbe baby act or elsf It Is to bully tbe citizen out of bis right* Down with such State's rights as enables It to dlfrf gaid tbe rights of Its own citizens. This newspaper is opposed to that kiLd ot State sovereignty that permits the Stale tc trample upon the rights of tbe citizen. Wi hope to see abi llshed tbe right of the Stale W deny any citizen tbe right to be h<e*ftHt> Conrt. To tt at extent we bellev^fn centralization., and we wish JJMf the Wasblcgtor government may deny the State tbe right to trampls upen tbe citizen. We hope that tb? -Dotted State's Courts mey be empowered to make tbe great State of South Carolina account In Court for its acts. Attorney General Lyon. Hon. J. Fraser Lyon is viBltlng bis heme. Since his election to office he has been ove*wheimed with work. Matters of great Importance to tbe State bave engaged bis attention to such a degree that he seldom gelt back to bis old home. In tbe recent case before Judge Pritcbard. where tbe question of tbe courts Jurisdiction was Involved, it seems certain that Mr. Lj or will come out winner. He Is a man of Btroug convictions, possessed with tbe brain ind determination to press those convictions nome. Mr. Lyon bas rendered valuable services to the State and of such ?. nature as to make some bitter enemies. But he bas madejbosU of friends by biB course who will stand to blm at all times. Lightning Rods. T* lo ?Knnl thn tlmo nf Iho year oh?n llphl nlng strikes one oak tree in a million, and It is time for Kghtnlng rod men to strike the unsuspecting farmers as be comes to tbem. If, therefore, any farmer thinks be needs a lightning rod on bis house or barn, let bim nail up tbe necessary lengths of wire fence It will not be more dangerous to tbe bouBe than tbe average lightning rod, and will cost much less money. Dr. OP. Hawthorne. Dr. O. P. Hawthorne of Due West was In town last Monday, and we bad an Interesting talk with him about old times and peoplt who would be old If they were living today. Mr. Hawthorne )b one of tbe oldest citizens of Dae West being now seventy years of age We do net know if be is rlcb, but we believe that he has more than a hundred bales of cotton scattered around for which he has no pautioular use Just now. If that cotton belonged to tblB editor, a very considerable amount ol money would be put in circulation belore nlgbt. But w bether Dr. Hawthorne Bells his cotton or keeps it, we trust that good things may come to bim. Prof. P. L. Grler and President J. 8. Moffatt ol ttitklne College were In town last Frl day. \ ? * ? ? Kev. O. Y.Bonner, pastor of tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterian congregation at DueWest, was on oar streets one day last week. His tal k with us led as to believe that he is a friend or me Mexican musion. yv one we uu not agree with blm on that particular enter prise, he talks entertainingly on thatsutijeot as well as upon oiber matters. Mr. Bonner IB like bis latber was, a factor In all tbe ai fairs of tbe cbarcb. It looks as If Senators, wben they can say nothing, sail Into tbe President. It Is different In Soatb Carolina. We bave the late lamented State dispensary and Its pall bearers to pltcb Into. It seems that there Is notblog bat crime and graft to talk abont. If there Is a "prominent" citizen whose name has not been assailed, we woald like to know who be Is. For some reaaon tbe Greenville Evening San doesn't shine on as until noon of the next day. _ J f BBS SCSSSi &??3CSSS?S!??SBO?3B2?SB8ES?tU?S j We nlwayR know when the Anderson Mall j Is a little more Interesting than usual. Il I doesn't coine on those days. For more thin fifty years the Green villi Mountaineer has been a regular and a mos welcome visitor at I ho Press aud liannci office, but of late It coin?* no more. I- oui friend dead; or has It simply cut our acqualutano*? Judge Prltchard refuses to rescind bis decision or action In appointing receivers for the Slate dispensary money. B-yan keeps on getting nominated by Democrats In Republican States. Anybody will do uh for Presidential nominee. We have gotten Into tbe habit of voting for William Billy. If they keep on burning tobacco In Kentucky, and maltreating tobacco growers, somebody will be hurt. What Is the President doing, that be does notdo something to the "ulght riders" of Kentucky ? For NchoolM It Is estimated that tbe foods from lh? County Dispensary which will now go lo -ehoolR will amount to something like seventeen thousand dollars per annum. As tbert In uncertainty as bow loDg tbe dlspeusarj will be a source of revenue, and as tbe schools are doing well ou present appropriation*, would it not be well for tbe various school districts to bold tbe dispensary fund as u reserve fund and finally invest itinpermanent shapt? Nothing adds so much to a community as ?< Sood school and there Is nothing that contributes so muob to a good sobool as a nice school building. It would bewelliftbis fund should be reserved until every district is able to build a bouse costing at least one thousand dollars There would be a permanent oenter around which the cduoallonal foices of each township might rally, and an impetus would thereby be given to tbe oause of education. If tbe money is spent in Increased salaries tor teachers tbe probability is that tbe efficiency of tbe service will not be materially increased and tbe money will be frittered away with no lastlDg benefits to Bbow|forlt. Trustees should think over tbe matter. On tbe side, it may be remaiked that If any district!) are near Qeorgla, Greenwood or \nderson, pupils from these plaoes should be illowed to attend in our new school bouses free of cbarge. If anybody wishes lo know why, ai-k tbe County Dispenser. Representative Heflln of Alabama shot e negro In Washington last Friday night. The negro was a little "blggety," and the Congressman shot blm. Tbey were passengers on a street car. Tbe ball bit tbe negro in tbe bead, but didn't hurt blm badly. A white man standing behind tbe negro being a good catch caught tbe ba'l, although be had no use for it. J Snggestion to the Council. n Tbe City Conncll is doing good work in beautifying tbe grounds about the Monument. Tbe Press and Banner would make a suggestion, however. In raising tbe stone curbing about tbe monument it has been set about on a level with tbe surrounding eartb. Tbe curbing Is too pretty to be burled. It should be raised at least ten inches above tbe level of tbe dirt, which will give a bettar effect. J. 8. Farnum, of Chaileston, charged witb violations of tbe Stale dispensary law,gave bond in $10,000. If be had done nothing *orse than kill a man wbo put bis band behind bis back tbe ball wou'd probably have been from ?1,100 to 96,000. But a serious matter like fooling with liquor unlawfully, Idemandi fi -fr?gvy bond. As lore Mjo<fget excuse mnxderertfjn technicalities, or if they are convicted, impose sentences, ao Iaho no (ho ncrocuDrc nPw! frlfllfi TTinv be bad to secure bis acquittal, "prominent" citizens need bave little hesitation about committing murder. 'Back to tbe farm" Is becoming a popular movement up North and out West. Tbe prodigal fathers who quit work in God's "unsblne to toll under man's gas light and electrla glare are sick and repentant of tbe cbange. Tbe panic has thrown thousands of willing workers out of employment through closing mills and manufactories, crippled railroads and generally pa rail zed business, [n tbe olttes and larger towns tbe people arctoo thick to thrive.?Barnwell People. It Isn't everybody who has sufficient executive ability to run a farm successfully. Those who lack that ability ar.d must depend upon their mutcle can make more wages m me shop than Id the field. Field labor Is cheap, while the mechanic or the more ekllled laborer can command higher wages than can (| be paid on the farm. The difference lies Id ( ihe executive ability. Executive ability that la controlled by energy may succeed an;- 0 where, whether in the city or on.the farm. i The man who depends upon his labor can, < as a rule, command a higher price in town, j A. man with skill in handling the trowel, or c the saw and hammer would do a very foolish thing to undertake to do work which could ? be dooe by less skillful labor. Mr. T. B. Martin of LowDdesvllle was Id , towD yesterday, aod it is always pleasant to i meet so good a man. He Is one of the oldest 1 subscribers to the Press and Banner, tits -j beginning of subscription dates back to the c time when Mr. Lee wae editor, and he quit in 1876. ^ The State dispensary folk are appealing to tbe U. S. Supreme Court to have Judge \ Prltchard'B Juaemeni overruieu. xuo uenn- papers and politicians wbo talked bo freely t lately will not go to war until after Supreme Court does something. c c q It seems that Bill Jennings Bryan Is certalD ( to get the Democratic nomination for Presl- 6 dent. It doesn't matter. The other fellow t will get the office. ' / . a The attempted regulation of the railroads, 8 has forced the railroads to regulate the pub lie, as to when tbey may travel, or as to bow traveling men bhall stay In town. 1 i It Is said that Carnegie la opposed to both * dukes and drinks.

Tbe effort by some newspapers to discount certain public servants because tbey /happen to belong to tbis or tbat family, is becoming g rather tiresome. Tbls Is tbe tenor ef about ibe only unfavorable criticism tbat bas appeared since tbe election of Senator Gary. Speaking for tbis paper, we plaoe faltbfnl e service above everything.
