Should an Kdttor Kprak tbe Truth?

' 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.

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.

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

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.

You cau't separate them.
And you cau't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kiduey ache.
If the kidueys are well and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure tc
be in vigorous health.
Doau's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
R. B. Carter, 501 McDuffie Street,
Anderson, S. C., says : "For a week 01
more I was bothered by pains across
the small of my back. Knowing tbat
this was the first symptoms of kiduey
trouble and having heard of others
that had used Doan's Kidney Pills
with good results, I procured a box.
I took them only a short time when
the pain disappeared entirely. I am
willing to recommend Doau's Kidney
nns as a reiiaole kidney remeay.

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,

that the Pasteur treatment will be
given to any one who i8 not a resident
of the state of Georgia upon the payment
of $25.00?which is our fee for all
. cases. The treatment will be mailed
just as we handle the cases who reside
in this state.
If I cau be of aay assistance to you
j kindly let me know.
Most cordially yours,
