Should an Kdttor Kprak tbe Truth? It Is unbecoming Id a Democrat, especially II lie occupies a tiigh potation oi tiouor and trust, to say tbat be believes a Republican win daleat tbe Democrat, tveu u lie ban good reason and does beneve it, be sbouiu Keep It to nimseii.?Union Times. ' With all due and proper respect for the opinions oi our able and much respected brother editor, tne Press and Banner would dlsBent from bis views. If the position of editor la one of honor, and we oontend that none Is more honorable or more deserving ol reaped, then the editor Is bound to be nonest.and truthful. If he Is not honest and truthful then he la not worthy of the high and honorable position which he holds aud he should tep down and out. He ought to go Into some other business. Any idea that an editor should conceal his convictions Is contrary to our belief. If a newspaper does doi tell the truth, what are Its editorials worth? W& do not believe.that any good comes from deceiving tbe people. TbePresB and Banner knows very little of tbe political outlook, but we would be false to the readers of this paper, if we at templed to deoelve them, by trying to make them believe that Bryan will be elected when we have no facts upon which to base that opinion. Ofconrae weall know that where the race question Is uppermost the people will vote lor Bryan. We expect to vote for him onraelf. But we know of no great change of sentiment in any of the States outside 01 the South that would lead a truthjpl man to say that Bryan will be elected. And we dcnot know how any expression for or against Bryan could effect the election one way or another. The editor of this newspaper, like nearly all other South Carolinians, will vote for Bryan, but we do not believe that there is an intelligent man in the State who would lay his hand on his heart and say that he believes Bryan will be elected. On the other hand, it would be a strange condition ol affairs if there are not a great many men in the State who, at heart wish that he may be defeated. Speaking for this editor personally I do not want to see or to hear of any Democrat getting into position where he may fill up t he Panama canal, or throw away the Philllphlnes Islands. Ifanycfflcer or owner of stock In a cotton mill should declare ihat be wanted the tariff revised so that no cotton mill wheel In South Carolina could run again wo would perhaps be too discreet to tell him that be epoke untruthlully but we should be sure to think that he was speaking without bis notes. The editor of this newspaper, speaking for himself, wants no general revision of the tariff which now secures to our laboring men employment at profitable wages. There is |no doubt that; there are [some Instances where the tariff might be altered, bnt the man who would disturb the proteo tlon wblcb is now given to cotton goods Is little less than a public enemy?an'enemy to the capitalists who have built the mills and an enemy to tbe people who operate them. And then there are more natural born national financier* than there are men who have enough business tact to run succesfully one borse farm. The National banks or national banking system we regard as one of the best result* of the war and yet Ignorant little Democrats who cannot succesfully manage the least busl ness enterprise are too ready to attack the banks and show their Ignorance. It really fatigues us to hear a balr brained fool talk about Wall street. We get little or ' no money from any other source. We don't go to Chicago for money. While this editor feels that he Is as loyal to the South and the Democratic party as a nybody, we can say In all sincerity that we do not want Bryan In the White Houbc, and we think there Is little probability of bis ever getting 'there as President of the United States. "Soren." Quite a number of our respected eontempor- ' rarlea taking the cue, as we presume, from a reoent presentment of our grand Jury are d Is cussing the sore shoulders of the animal tbat baa been adopted as tbe Demooratlo'emblem. 1 Tbe donkey Is a long suffering and an un- 1 oompIalnlDg animal. Bat be Is not alone In ' suffering from sores. Tbe sores tbat tbrew ' our grand Jury into conniption fits, we are told, were about tbe size of a man's tbumb print. But admitting tbat tbey were as big as a saddle blanket, and tbe suffering severe, ' tbey are as nothing when compared to tbe little barefooted boy'B sore toe, tbat bas run 1 against a rock In bis road. In this neck of 1 the woods boys sore toes do not count. The 1 older and more dignified of our citizens take 1 on a more acute and a more dignified form of 1 sores than those to be found on males' shoulders and little boy's toes. Older and more distinguished citizens have been recently In- ; terested in sores, but tbtjlr special lorm of , sores was not found on tbe big toea of little boys or upon tbe shoulders of the burden , bearing beast. These gentleman were In. ( terested In a sort of arlstooratlo sores, or stiff , necks." They didn't call them "soreB" but they used a bigger word, and called tbem carbuncles. Gorbuncles, you know, are a little cboloe In their customers, and as a rule, have nothing to do with poor folks and mules. Wo 1 believe that General Hemphill, Mr. Long and ' Mr. Harden will verify this statement. Pretty Lots. ' Abbeville has many pretty lots that are adorned by attractive growing plants and green grass. In none have more labor been bestowed than on that of Mr. W. W. BradtKa Hno Woof, fltraof. Aft va nnrtftr. Mod, Mr. Bradley furnishes the sinews of war, and Mrs. Bradley furnishes tbe energy and the good taste tbat combine to make , beautiful tbe yard In front of their nice I dwelling. Tbe dwelling, Inside, has been 1 worked over, and tbe outside bas received a coat of paint. Tba flower pit bas been emptied and tbe nicest of ornamental shrubs, J bushes, or other things, with whose names i we are not familiar, are to be seen on as pret- 1 . ty a ground as you would wish to look at. Having a pretty green lot, with the nicest i growing things, makes the place attractive, while as nice a lot of children as could be found In tbe realm, play upon tbe garden to the pleasure of passers-by, and to tbe delight of fond parents who dream of a glorious future for the scions of tbe Bradley tree. > Don't Shock tbe Record's Modealy. The Columbia Reoord of a reoent date pro-j teats against tbe "sbeath gowns" that ;bave appeared In Washington. It Is hoped that the ladles of Columbia may have regard for the Reoord In the style of dress which to others, less modest than the Keoord, might be not so'objectionable. The Record says: I 'Washington has been horrified by the appearance 01 r Bbeaths gown; and no wonder Irom the des< rlptlon given of it. It Is a sort of split gown, with a sort of flap or curtain at the bottom which, when the wearer moves, flies .open and rtvesh?but why proceed? Looked at from the front In a state of repose It has an innocent appearance, bat a side view or when the wearer is in motion?again why proceed? m Th? n.axtlno nf Rail Lhw abiding people ol this State owe ? debt of gratitude to the Anderson Mall for Its work In publishing the testimony ?t ttie coroner's Inquest over George Clinkscales, and In giving publicity to tba certificates upon which ball was granted to bis slayer. We note also what the Anderson Mall says about the attorney far the (layer of George Cllnksoales being a brother of the Associate Justice who granted the ball. No one stands higher before the people than does tbe attorney for George Cllnksoales, but we submit tbat he erred In an act which may aeem to compromise his highly esteemed brother, or at least subject him to the possibility or crltlolsm. We believe the actlou of a brother la going before a Judge for ball Is, not without precedent, but we believe such action has not been without disapproval. II the slayer of George Cllnksoales was entitled to ball, application should have been made before another Judge than the brother of his attorney. Judge Gary, we know, could not be Influenced by the fact that his brother was the attorney, but .It Is true, that there are persons who may think or say something. For this reason we think it wel 1 for attorneys who are related to a judge, to be considerate of the delicate situation. We have great respect for Judge Gary's decisions in the Supreme Court. The decisions of no Judge on the bench have more generally had the appearance of right, but we think he ought to ask his brother to go before another Judge when he wants ball for a client. If the slayer of George Ciinkscales was entitled to ball a Circuit Judge would have been the preper officer before whom to go for it. This would leave the Associate J up. tlce without embarrassment In case of appeal. The owners of this newspaper are very near, iy related to the Associate Justice, and the editor is perfectfy friendly to both the Associate Justice and his brother, the attorney for the slayer of Cllnkscake, and no one in the office Is unfriendly to either. On appeal it should be without embarrassment to the Supreme Court. Thepubliomay think the Judge in bear* log an appeal may lollow his first decision as to the innocence of the accused. I Hugh Wilson. The Abbeville Cotton Market. Occasionally somebody comes to Abbeville to buy a little cotton. ThlB faot gives kickers a big chance to ply this avccatlon of abusing Abbeville. Recently Mr. R. M. Hill, cotton buyer at tbls place, was seeking cotton, and owing to the high price In this market, be went abroad la learcb oi tne aesirea conon. We learn that be went to Donalds, Anderson, Ml. Carmel, McCormlck, Greenwood, Clinton, and perhaps other towns, where U was thought the price was more reasonable than at Abbeville. Reason* for S appointing "Billy.'* One of the beet as well as one of tbe most Influential citizens of Abbeville Is greatly Interested In having William Billy receive tbe no ml nations at Denver. He would vote for blm If be were a delegate. His reason for so dolDg Is, that he wantB to have tbe funeral at the earliest day possible. He wouldn't like to have to keep tbe oorpse until 1912.

Editor Press and Banner: Tne recent refreshing rains bave helped everything and tbe crops are growing so nicely that tbe hearts of the farmers are rejoicing and tbey are actually beginning to talk politics. It seems like candidates for tbe legislature omo, nrvmlnc mii It innbs na If the neo pie will have lo go buck to ttie old-lime order of things. In tbe day and time when I wan a boy tbe people would bave a barbecue at one or tbe otber of tbe muster grounds and Invite speakers lor tbe occasion. From these speakers they would cbuoee whom tbey would run for the-leglslature. Would It not he a good Idea to auopt tbat plan at this lime? It Is important tuat we make a good selection this time, tbat we send men down wbo will let all tbe good laws on our statute books stand as tbey are. Tbe pension law should be amended so as to give tqual rights to every Confederate soldier thai served in the war except those tbat were actually disabled, tbey, of oourse, should have more. The laws governing counties oould be Improved. The sobool Jaw needs amending, It ai?o could be Improved. Tbe fertilizer law needs some changes, and there are several of the laws on our statute books tbat might be Improved by a change. We don't need and don't want any oblld's play legislature this year. Democracy means to do the greatest good to tbe greatest number of people and tuat Is exactly what we want in our Stale legislature. What has become t>f our old friend 'L. A. W.," the weather correspondent for the Medium? Ue generally names a number of men lo run for the legislature at every election. I wonder if it Is not possible tbat he could trot us out a candidate of tbe kind we need. Everybody keep a sharp look out! Thinei are belmr cut and dried tor the next primary. A woid to tbe wise Is sufficient. W. C. Shaw. HORSES TAKEN AFTER SURRENDER. Abbeville, 3. C., June 2Kb, 1006. Dear Sit: Jan before tbe last session of.

Tbe learned Prince of Granada, h>-lr to tbe Spanish throne, Imprisons d by order of tbe CrowD for fear be thonid aspire to tbe throne, was kept In solitary confinement in tbe old prison atthePluoeof Skulls, Madrid. Alter tblrty-tbree years in this living tomb death came to bis release, and the following remarkable researches, taken from the Bible and marked with an old nail on the rough walls of his cen, 101a now me oram sought employment through the weary years: In the Bible the word "Lord" Is found 1,853 timed. Tne word "Jehovah," 6,855 times. The word"reverend" but once, and that in tbe ninth verse ol Psalm cxI. The eight verse of the ninety-seventh Psalm Is tbe middle verse of tbe Bible. Tbe ninth verse or tbe eighth chapter of Esther Is tbe longest, Tbe thirty-fifth ver?e of the eleventh chapter of Ht. John Is the shortest. In tbe one hundred seventh Psalm four verses are alike?tbe eight, fifteenth, twentyfirst and thirty-first. Ezra vil, 21, oontalns all the letters of the alphabet, except J. Each verse of tbe one hundred and thirtysixth Psalm ends alike. No Dames or words with more than six syllables are found In tbe Bible. The thirty-seventh chapter of l?aiah aDd nineteenth cbapteu of second Kings are alike. The word "girl" occurs bnt once In the Bible, and that In tbe third verse of tbe tblrd chapter of Joel. There are found In both books n'the Bible 8,588,488 letters, 773,693 words, 31,873 verses, 1,189 cbsptersand 66 books. The twenty-tlxth obapter of the Act* 06 th* Apostles Is the. finest ohapler to read. The most beautiful obapter Is the twentythird Psalm. Tbe four most inspiring promises are John xlv, 2; vl, 87; Matthew xl,23; Psalm xxvil, 4. Tbe first verse of tbe fiftieth chapter ol iBa'lah is the one for the new convert All who flatter themselves with vain boast* Ing should read the sixth obapter of Matthew. All humanity should learn tbe sixth chapter of St. Luke from tbe twentieth verse to Its ending. A GREAT LAXD OPFXING. Washington, D. C., June 22, >908. A number of exceptional opportunities are now being offered by ihe Government for enterprising and Intelligent farmers to secure choice larms od a aozeo or mure joikc miKution project! which are nearing completion. Owing to the rapid narrowing of the limits f the unoccupied public domain, It 18 doubtfuI If these opportunities will ever occur izalu. It is probable, therefore, that the west will see one of tbe greatest Influxes of botneseekers la 1908 that has been witnessed In many years. The great fertility and wnnderlul crop yields from Irrigated lands, and the favorable terms the Government offers Beitlera, warrants the belief that before tbe year clone* not a single farm will be without Its entryman. These farms are located in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. A letter addressed to Tbe Statistician, U. 8. Reclamation Service; Washington, D.

TKEATMENT. u if Not Xepessnry to go away from Home j to Rpceive It?Letter from Secrcn tary of lite Stitle Hoard of H< alili of Georgia. Newberry, 8. C., June 25,1908. Editor Observer, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir:?In the interest of tbe people at Newberry and surroundiog coun" try, I wish you would publish the fol[ lowiDg in connection with tbe recent e prevalence of persons being bitten by ,f rabid dogs. e The idea seems to have taken hold z of the people that they can only reR ceive the Pasteur treatment by goiDg e to Atlanta, when as a matter of fact the same treatment as that received at e the Pasteur Institute at Atlanta can ft be administered at home by the regue lar physician io attendance. By a ree cent ruling of the Georgia state board e of health, for the benefit of those uny able to bear the heavy expense of go ing to Atlanta, they have decided to * send out tbe necessary amount of se> rum to treat one case, with full direc" tions as to its admiuiHtration, together e with instructions as to the "before and i- after" treatment; which will reuder it ' just as safo to take the treatpuent at hi-imo no at the infifitlltP. 0 The letter from Dr. Harris, secretary ? of the Georgia state board, will explain the matter as to cost of home treatment. I think you will agree with me that e this information will be well worth the space in your paper. With kind regards, 1 J. Alex. Meldau, M. D. o ? r Dr. Harris' Letter to Dr. Sleldnu.
