Calling; for Money.
We see by the newspapers that Mr. Bryan
objects to contributions from trusts and great
corporations for campaign purposes. Speaking
for this editor personally, we are willing
for the trusts to foot our part of the expense.
We are not sufficiently Informed to know
4 why Mr. Bryan or anybody else should object
to having the bills paid by rich people
who are able and willing to pay.
Mr. Bryan wants the farmers and other
poor people in sufficient numbers to contrlb
ate small sums which, In the aggregate, will
amount to a large sum.
The faot Is, we do not quite uuderitaud the
way In which It Is proposed to spend money
for "campaign purposes."
Without knowing anything about the need
for such money, we think It Is somewhat like
the foreign missionary money?more for the
benefit of those who handle it or can get
their hands on It than for the benefit of any
great cause.
If the money In either oase lsoollected from
the, many in small amounts, there Is less
probability of anybody enquiring Into the
manner of Its expenditure. And that may
be the reason that Mr. Bryan wants to oolleot
In the smaller sums.
As this Slate Is certain to go Democratic,
we Bee no special need for taxing us to raise
money to be sent away to pay "campaign expenses"
In another State. Let every State
pay for Its Democracy.
We buve our doubts as to the propriety of
gathering up large sums which are to be
spent, we know not bow, whether In cbnrcb
or In State, when full and explicit accounting
Is withheld. The refnsal In either case to account,
does nothing to Inspire oonfldence In
the Integrity of those who handle It. We
fear "campaign purposes" may mean corruption,
and foreign missions may mean money
for the benefit of a favored few who live and
fatten on It In either case It may be for the
greatest good to the greatest number?number
one being the greatest number.
Prohibition or Dispensary V
The primary election will soon be on, and
It becomes candidates and people to under- ,
stand eaoh other. Prohibitionists'ought to i
w-tha no n/l Irtataa ofnrtrl on thft mb- '
Jeot of tbe dispensary. They ought not to
vole for a dispensary man. And In like manner
a dispensary man ought not to vote for
blind tigers.
Those who want blind tigers ought
not to be misled Into voting for dispensary
candidates. Let as understand one another, i
and let no man claim that be voted under a 1
misapprehension of faots. There are two ]
waya of dealing with liquor?one by blind i
tigers?tbe other, by tbe dispensary. 1
In order that our people may know how
candidates for tbe Legislature stand on the
liquor question, tbe Press and Banner will
be glad to pabllsh letters from each defining
his position.
Othar than Legislative candidates need
not express themselves on the liquor ques
* tlon, yet It Is Important that nobody should
* vote for tbe wrong man for the Legislature.
Speak out, gentlemen.
How la This?
Mr. 8. J. Link, one of tbe best men in this
town, Is Just back from Charleston. He went
to that olty a Rbett man. He oomes back
anything else. He chuzged bis mind for this
reason: That Rbett as Mayor of Charleston
does not enforce the liquor law of this State.
Mr. Link law open caloons In the city, where
my drink could be bad. Under Mr. Rhett's
office, or next door, was a plaoe where liquor
wai sold oontrary to law. Mr. Link asked a
seller bow It was that be could Bell liquor by
the drink, and hir reply wa?: Tbat he was
lined }50 every two months, the fines being
equivalent to a license of $800 a year.
We believe It was In Aiken oounty tbat a
man was recently sent to the chain gang six
months lor Belling a small bottle of liquor.
It may be right to send a poor man to the
chain gang for a single aot, but we do not see
how the rich bar-keeper of Charleston can
buy his Indulgence for dally violation of the
law, at J300 a year.
If Mr. Link is mistaken it should be the
business of somebody in Charleston to tell us
if it 1b true tbat Mayor Rhett winks at the
nullification of a State law at any suoh figures
or for any other figures, or for no figures
at all.
Examining the Lists.
Supervisor Nlckles is looking over tbe petitions
for tbe election on tbe subjeotof closing
tbe dispensary. He bas been at work on
tbe registration books. Tbe names on these
books bave been redaoed to something like
3,600, and may be farther redaoed. There are
on tbe petitions something; like 900 names.
The names on tbe petitions are being examined
now.
While we were in tbe office last Monday
afternoon tbe work bad only been begun.
Tbe petitions from Due West Included:
Signers Ill
Repeaters 44
Unregistered ; 'U
Total not entitled to vote... 68
Leaving Registered Voters.. 43
While Captain NlokleB refused to make
any estimate as to the number of qualified
voters who bad signed petltlops, yet we bear
that when the names of the repeaters aud the
unregistered are erased there may be something
like 600 names of legal voters on this
petition. There seems to be little probability
of the election being ordered.
^ ^ ?
Sidewalk Explosions.
Steam mills, steam engines and otbar
steam plants have had a monopoly In the
line of explosions. But In a progressive
town like Abbeville these steam machiues
must give plaoe to the, cement sidewalks.
We have up-to-date sidewalks, and a few
days ago one of them exploded, It Is said
with a great noise. We did not bear the
noise, but tbe frazzled and uplifted pavement I
Is tbere to speak for Itself, and oan be seen
by any one wbo chooses to look. The up*
heaval Is a mystery to ua. Tbe only man
that seems to understand it Is Mr Cromer>
who ;glves scientific reasons for tbe explosion.
We would be glad to publish bis
statement, bat It would be olearer to you ij
you call on blm to give reason for tbe an.
asaal, or unprecedented, action of a cement
tdewalk.

A Clean CamDaisn.
We want to commend to the conslderatlor
of good people the campaign that Hon. Wyatl
Alien and Jlon J. E. Boggs are making foi
congress In the Third district.
The campaign Is being oondnoted oc
a high plane. Both men want the office, but
they are not using low methods to get it,
Their speeobes are instructive and argumen
tive, and not abusive or personal. To quote
from some writer whose name we hove for
gotten at this moment, they are "courteouc
In debate, charitable in their judgment oi
others, ever keeping in mind that be that If
low to anger Is greater than the mighty and
be that ruleth bis own spirit than be thai
taketb the city."
And to/all of election after the use of sucb
methods Is better than to win with the use ol
other methods.' We wish all the senatorial
candidates would emulate the example set by
these two bleb-class aspirants for congress Id

Bhonld nay that be Is the best one In the
State. Wyalt Aiken Is a working Congressman,
no grass grows nnder his feet.- He Is
one of the most Intelligent members of the
lower bonse, tactful and dlsoreet at all time*.
He has done and Is now doing more good
for bisdldlrlot than any man weoould possl
bly send there. By hlr shrewd diplomacy he
can get more Republicans to vote for bis bills
than any other Democrat at the same time
not compromising his political principles.
DurlDg his 5 years In Congress be has bad
tbe following appropriations made for his
dlstrlot.
Publlo buildings at Newberry, 850,000; at
Greenwood, $60,000; at Anderson, 870,000. He

Barely yoa are not going to remove this man

Mr. Aiken made three rattling good speeches
during tbe last CoDgreas?one of wblch
was so good from tbe Democratic point of
view, that It has been copied Jo -tbe Democratic
Hand Book for National distribution.
Say, you Mill boys, turn ont and send you
good Congressman back. Stick to your old
horse. A new one mlgbt throw yon.
Aiken Is well on to tbe Job. He will get

We do not believe yon are going to let that
good-hearted, big-hearted boy get left.
