L?, Wi pi ?j"Publl8hed every Wednesday at 82 a year In advance. te tL Wednesday, Sept. 16, 1908, b! bi Personal Journalism. ? cl Without reflecting upon anybody, aDd without assuming to know more than others, we think some of our esteemed brethren ol the press side-stepped during the recent cam- j* palgn. b(' In states where there are two political parties, it may be right for a newspaper to seek to elect or to defeat a candidate, but we are P quite sure that a newspaper falls In the prop. | er exercise of Its duties as publisher when It becomes the organ of anybody, and It seems to us that the editor who assails character ? P makes a mistake which Is apparent and which the best element of the county will not approve. A newspaper, like any other good citizen, should build up ratber than ^ tear down. Cbaraoter Is too aacred to be ruthlessly assailed. It Is better to build up in ? or to raise the oener man turn ui^uci m<.u w ^ ruin the reputation of a Btroggllng brother merely because be Is ambitious to bold office. The highest and the best sentiment ol the c| people cannot long approve of a system ot j character assassination. Better build up or A show the better merits of the other man. o, It Is a mistake for any newspaper to espouse the cause of one candidate to the Injury of another. ^ It la legitimate and right to advocate or to # defend a principle, but In making the elec- f tlon of any one a personal matter, tbe newt- d paper Is obliged to lose In influence and rlendi. While specific acts of any man may a be a proper subject of discussion, yet it is not i * ? '? "mo '?"> Tnif, nf phAracter \ JOUrotUlkJLU IU ottuiuv .-v .... EBSaBBlD. \! Another matter. The newspaper that pro- J poses to indulge in personalities lowers hie f paper In the public esteem, and thereby In- 4 Jures Its ogeiulncss. Unnecessarily intermed * dliDK in the race for office creates enmities that may lest for a life time, and which in* ternuddllDK is gratuitous. If a county newspaper every two years adds c< new names to its list of enemies, its business o: and its standing in the community is deserv- n edly Injured. Theedltorofanewspaper.no b more than any other cltlzeD, has no right to sj Intermeddle to the extent of personalities. A a: bully may do these things, but who respeets P abuJl>? A bully may be dreaded but wbat bully has as much respect from the people as has a good citizen? <x -- * ? >?.... b; JUBDy DreiLireu U' lue picei unit ui^^oyu; assailed character, and eome have excused bl their act because they were prompted by al conscientious motives. As a matter of /act, the conscientious man may be wrong, and a misdirected conscience may prompt him to do wrong. The conscientious man, when he Is wrong, may do much wrong. It Is all right to be oonaclentloQB and to be governed by el conscience, but the conscience should be e? trained In the right dlreotlon. The Judgment, too, should be from an intelligent stand- ,r point. vl It is not the best conscience or the highest P' Judgment that prompts the tbruttlng of a ai newspaper's Influence against any oandidate. M It Is right and honorable In any man to seek 81 public office. And the editor, like any other v' citizen, has the right to vote as be pleases, 8? but It Is no more oreditable to a newspaper PJ fcUttU lb nuwiu VK> kW WW -?forget himself as tobeoome a ward heeler. The editor of the Press and Banner glvee each and every newspaper credit for honesty of conduct in the recent campaign, but we p, think quite a number of the brethren oame jD down from their high estate, when they con- d sented to make flippant charges against iE character, and they also made a mistake in becoming anybody's partlzan. As a rule, ar gentlemen do not become oflenslve parti- h, zans; and no newspaper should become the organ of anybody. pi 5 Be sure to come to 5 5 Abbeville, Thurs- t J day, October 1st, * ?f 0 1908.

Wldeman was in town last Wednesday seeing his son Boyce Wldeman off to the Bell Buckle Co-educatlonal school m In Tennessee. We tried to Interview him on p( the reason for not sending his son to Due w , Weet. While he Is a fast friend to Due West he wanted his son to be prepared to enter the College classes when he went to the College from which be himself was graduated. He didn't know why Mr. Mower, the treas- p< nrer of the Institution, did not Bend his tt ohlldren to Due West. ai Mr. Wldeman said be thought he was for pi Missions, but he would Bay nothing now. He bi would take more tlm? to think over the tt matter before giving out anything either st privately or publicly. In view of the possl- ei bil.Uy of greater accessions to the Church in o? Mexico, which Increased numbers would Involve greater expense and require more missionaries and more teachers, we asked him If he didn't think the lnoreased numbers and increased cost would break up the A. R. P. Church, root and branch, lie would know nothing along this line and would not ven- A ture an opinion. We then wanted to know 11 if he didn't think it would be cheaper to cal] l? our Missionaries home and support them C here, rather than to let them remain In Mexloo, where the danger Is that more Mexicans may Join our communion and rula the A. It al P. Church in this county. He said it would take time for blm to study the matter. He w aiani weduo oe quoiea in me paper. ?ie ? was, as usual, as polite and as agreeable as possible, but our pump wouldn't work him. P1 Whether or not his mind ever becomes al olear on the subject of missions, be Is aB good 11 a man as you could find In a day's Journey. When he comes to Abbeville again, we shall apply our pump, to see If it will work then. Just now we believe he Is prejudiced in favor ol maintaining missionaries In Mexico. He can quote Scripture to Justify the sending of t>, missionaries to the heathen. And we believe b, he now thinks the Catholics of Mexico be- (0 long to that class of the human family. p( i ? to The Finishing Touches.

The Expert's Report. I"be expert who was employed by the grand ry made his report to the Court laBt week id there seems to be a disposition to pigeon >lo the same.

Including a nlgbt trail toh way passing Abbeville, there are noi iree trains a day each way. The servli om Abbeville to Atlanta and from Abb< llle to Northern points could not well be ino roved. Norfolk, Richmond, Washington id New York are now reached In the short it time possible; and a complete dining ani eeplng oar service is maintained from Abbe llle to New York. Such good servloe de irves and is receiving the support of an ap reclative public. In a Hollow Log. It has been suggested that a good piece ti it the report of the Grand Jury would b i a hollow log in the big woods surroundlni e La Howe's grave, during the night llmi t the dark of the moon.

All the people of the town will Join Mayo IcMlllan In trying to make It a pleasan ay. An elaborate literary feast has been pre ared. MubIo and a good cheer await al ad the Press and Banner would suggest tha ie hash be not allowed to go to waste. Five thousand people can be fed, Mr. S. S. Boles. Mr. 8. S. Boles of Lowndesvllle was In At svllle attending court last week. Mr. Bole ?b been a figure In tbe polltlos of tbe count] r many years. He Btands well with tb jople of Lowndesvllle and when be appeal i tbem In behalf of a candidate there I imelblng doing. He Is always In tbe bes spirits and has tbe happy faoulty of lm irtlng his good fellings to others. Dr. Klrkpatrlck of Lowndesvllle was li wn tbls week attending Court. He Is i ?od physician, a good man,and a good frlent i the Press and Banner In whose office n< an meets a heartier greeting. Dr. Klrkpatrlck has prospered greatly stnc< ginning the practice of bis profession al jwndesville. He is held in the highest esem wherever he is known. Mr. James Brownlee was In town last week lelng kindred and old friends. He la broter ofCapt. John K. Brown lee of this ooun Meeting of City Council. I The Regular Meeting of the City Council was held on the ninth past. A petition from Hon. F. B. Gary has been presented tbe Council asking that cement i walks be placed In front of bis residence on r Greenville street, Mr. Gary to pay half the i cost and tbe city pay half the cost. Tbe pes tltlon which was refered to tbe street cum1 mlttee was reported ou favorably. Councilman from the Fourth Ward, Mr. Henry, Introduced a motion to remove the muzzles from tiie dogs of tbe city. ] Those who have had trouble keeping their i canines, muzzled will be glad to know that i they may remove them now. The Chairman of the Board of Health, Dr t Oambrell, called attention to the bad con3 dltlon of the olty Are house la .his report. The Mayor Informed tbe Council that the e arbitrators had agreed on a price for tbe City Electric Wiring atd Machinery: the a price agread on is 83128 54 This is the amount : to be paid Mr. W. N. Thomson, t a r ,, Mr. Hugh Wilson succeeded in finding a motto whlcb admirably characterizes bis e booklet: "Nothing is ho firmly believed as . what we least know."?Associate Reformed Presbyterian. But, neighbor, Mr. Wilson Is going to try to e know what he "believes-" He has received t two copies of "La Fe Crlstlana," and be has i- found it exceedingly interesting. He could ,t write a very small volume in comment on il these two numbers, but be bas no chance to II print bin comments on tbe same, except in r book form, and that is very expensive. If tbe A. K. P's would give blmaohancebe e ibluks be could write Interesting paragraphs e for its columns wblle exposing bis lack of |- Knowledge. Tbe owners of tbe Press and t) Banner are dead opposed to our lectures on , foreign missions. And so it Is, tbe llgbt is c oompletely sbut off from tbe people. When Mr. Wilson writes his next books he hopes to be better Informed. He expeots to subscribe for "La Fe Cristlana" with tbe view of ^ absorbing all tbe interesting facts and fnnny ' speeohes to be found in that splendid paper. | His great regret is that he has no chance to ) write up his admiration. As in all tbe misI slonary literature with.which Mr. Wilson Is ) tamlllar, there is some Impressive truths } mixed up with muoh indescribable ludicrous| ness in '"La Fe Cristlana." ^ Perhaps tbe "La Fe Cristlana" like Mr. t Wilson may have difficulty in scouring tbe I names of church members. In that caie, ' prompted by newspaper etblcp. Mr. Wilson would gladly lend bis subscription list. I Keep the Record Straight e The Columbia Slate, In publishing election II returns Incorrectly, stated twice that Mr. I; Boggs had received 817 votes in Abbeville e county, when be actually received 232. Ia a - sense a dlQerence of 580 votes does not affeot tbe man who ia elected, but in another sense { r. It does. Hundreds of voters who see only r this statement are left with tbe impression >1 tbat the winning candidate carried his conn-1 it ty by only two voteB to one wben as matter y offaot be carried it by nearly six votes to one.

Preacher in Politics. e d We beard three men say last Monday tbat tbey quit bearing three different preaobers y because of tbelr utterances in politics. When a preacher goes Into politics, tbe danger Is, that he will go out of religion. The Press and Banner re3 quests that each business * man in town give a short \ sketch of himself, his business, clerks, etc. J This data is desired for use in a special edition of the e Press and Banner to be issued j Sept. 30th, 1908.
