Erskine College.
Tbe Press and Banner learns with much
pleasure tbat tbe class rooms of Erskine College
are fuller this year than ever before.
Abont two hundred students are there. Dr.
MofTatt bas worked wonders for that college.
Tbe fact Is, he has drawn so many
students to Due West that additional preparation
has to be made for thelf Bccommoda
tlon. It Is lair to assume that the Synod will
take the matter In band. Just now tbe work
of missions is taxing tbe obnrcb to tbe limit,
and It Is barely possible tbat In view of tb s
faot some of the money now going to missions,
home and foreign, may be diverted to
the College. Ersklne College Is, by far, tbe
most Important enterprise of tbe ohurob, and
its needs are more apparant than tbe needs of
any other enterprise in which tbe oburoh is
now engaged. Tbe life of the ohurcb Is more
intimately related to her colleges than to
anytbing else, and we believe tbat all mem
bers and frlendB of tbe church would be glad
to see Ersklne take another step forwardOther
colleges are collecting endowments or
receiving money for needed Improvements,
and Ersklne should take like steps or the
advancement of her interests which are so
olosely allied with the prosperity of tbe
oboroh. Without disparaging other church
work, there Is nothing upon which tbe people
of tbe whole obnrcb coold more enthusiastically
work than in building additional or
needed bouses lor Ersklne.
The dispensary decision tupporting Judg?
Prltchard has received more or less attention
last week from the press of the State. Some
of them "told you ho" while neglected to do
, bo. The Press and Banner made no prediction
as to the result, bat no man In the
state is more gratified at the act which
wonld seem to discourage this state from
engaging In doubtful practice to avoid the
payment of Its debts.
As we look at It, the state bought great
quantities of liquors, the agent* of the State
agreeing to pay a prloe much above tb<
regular selling price, this was Indeed verj
naughty. But did the State lose anything
by the liberality of its agentfc? We think
not. Instead of selling to the people llquoi
at a fair price, the 8tate condemed the dishonest
act of the agenta, and proceeded to
add not only the excessive cost, but added
a per cent to the same, thus joining wltb
1 ? agents In cheating the people, making
a .ood profit on the rascality of its accredited
agents. The State realized from , th<
liquors so bought various sums aggregating
about $800,000. With all this money In
hand the State refused to pay for the llquoi
that brought to Its treasury this large sum.
and then has already spent, so another hat
estimated more than $50,000 In Its effort U
discredit the little wrong doers by whose
acts the State realized this great sum.
The State tried to plead the sovereignty
act, to avoid the payment of its debts, bui
> . the Federal Court held that the liquor
business was not properly a part of the government,
and as a dealer It Bhould be required
to pay as other debtors are required
to pay.
The newspapers express the opinions that
the case will be carried from the Federa1
Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court
where there Is little doubt that the State
will lose out entirely.
The receivers that have been appointed
by the Federal Court will no doubt get 8
good share of our money for winding up
t?em nnn tki.
lllo WUID&Qj UUOt UuDB, VW. AUir
with expenses already lecurred will amount
to a considerable sum.
This editor, speaking for himself, hope?
tbat South Carolina may yet be made to aoi
bonestiy with tbe creditors whom it cheated
thirty years ago, and this wish makes as
something of a centrallzatlonist, bo that the
Washington government may make tbe
State fulfill its contract.
.
The Dedication.
Tbe city of Abbeville Is making preparation
to feed a great company on Thursday, Octo>
ber 1. Be sure to come. This, in all probability,
is the last Court house and City hall
that will be built in tbe life time of any one
living today. And Abbeville wants to see
all tbe people of tbe oounty within her borders
on tbat day.
i Mr. Gilliam is to bave charge of tbe hash
factory, and he will give to each guest all tbe
hash, potatoes and bread tbat oan be stored
away. Abbeville will be glad to meet all ber
friends on tbat day. Good speeches, band
mualo and other things will add to the pleasures
of the day.
Abbeville has been to Due West on many
of ber big days, and It is especially hoped
tbat Abbeville's friends in tbe olasslo city
may lena as lae pleasure or ineir presence on
that day when the city and the county may
unite In happiness at the erection of the city
hall and the court house.
One o( the best things about the new buildings
Is the good feeling which the people of
the oounty have about the new structure*.
At one time there was some opposition, but
now It Is with muoh pleasure that we believe
the people are In unit on the matter of the
new oourt bouse.
i i
1 Link's goods were bought I
at starvation prices, and he 1
sells them lower than the
lowest.
i
Mr. Geo. W. Speer.
Mr. Geo. "W. Speer of the Monterey Bection '
wan In the city Friday and spent a pleasant
, v hoar with the Press and Banner.
Next to Geo. Hemphill Mr. .Speer Is one of
the best informed men In tbe county. It Is
Interesting to bear him relate Incidents ot
tbe old times.
In speaking of tbe recent flood Mr. Speer
related an Incident of tbe flood of May, 1&40. ' '
Judge Ellja Staunton then lived near '
Gray's old mill, about one mile from Mil* 1
wood.
Staunton operated a cotton boat to Augusta
and was himself a Pilot. During this high 1
water a bouse came floating down Savannah 1
river with a woman andberoblld on top of
It. Staunton seeing tbe danger ordered bis
negroes into the boat. Tbe negroes refused
to go and Staunton made them go. He 1
rescued tbe child but tbe mother was drown- 1
ed before be reached them.
Tbe boat men could not stop tbe boat In 1
such a current, so they went on to Augusta.
Ga., where tbe child was adopted Into an
Augusta family and received a liberal eduoa- '
uuu.
This lady now lives somewhere In Edge
v field.
v '
Various newspapers are predicting Democratic
success in November. Tills newspaper
does not know bow tbe matter stands, but it
really looks to us as If tbe oonstant boasting
of Bryan mlgbt have some effect. The Democrats
will surely make a better run tbla year
than tbey did four years ago.
Bp''I
8s . ;
Boosters and Kickers.
The Intelligencer says a "DooBter Club1' Is
needed In Anderson. Abbeville 1b now a
unit, and needs no "Booster Club.'' We ran
out tbe "kickers" long ago, and we hear
nothing more of town defamers. It used to
be that an occasional man turned against the
town. But not so now. Wnen a man Is not
friendly to Abbeville, we do not need him,
and he can easily get permission to move on
?r> the* nnrt tnun Wn are bnsv now. and
have no room for ktakers.
Public Well for Post Holes.
The town Council are taking tbe bricks out
of tbe well in tbe park preparatory to filling
it up. It Is also said that tbe well Is to be
taken out, cut up, and sold in small lots for
post boles. There Is little doubt that tbe well
will be filled with earth, but that part of the
story as to retailing It but for post boles
needs confirmation.
What About Our High School?
Some time ago tbe proposition to establish
a high school was agitated, and, as far as we
are informed, tbe matter has quieted down
Abbeville needs to have a grade or two added
to her graded school. Tbe advantage of tbe
higher grades need not be urged, it Is known
of all men. Then why not do something?
Messrs. Calvert <fe Nlckles are now putting
down the seats in tbe new court room, Tbe
seats in the audltoram or tbe tbeatre are
down. The grounds in front of tbe court
house and the olty hall have been leveled up,
and tbe grounds In front look well.
Back from Tates.
Dr. F. E. Harrison, one of tbe best physicians
to be found in America, has been off to
Tate Springs in Tenneesee, where be has been
drinking health-giving wateis, and resting
from bis labors in finances and physics.
Gen. M. L. Bonban has been appointed
Presldental elector. Tbe Anderson Mall In
makings forecast of com Idk political events,
predicts that General Bonbam will cast bis
ballot for W. J. Brvan.
Capt. Billy Smith, the most popular and
the be?t known conductor on tbe Southern
has completed the fiftieth year of bis service.
As to length of service C^pt. Williams,
conductor on the Abbeville Branch, is a close
second to Capt. Billy, and as to faithfulness
of service be is neck and neck with blm.
Neither could be exoelled for fidelity to their
employer.
Dr. Brltt was in town last Mondav. He Is
? Baptist for all the pas; years, and his wl.'e
was a good A. K. P. Bbe goes to cburoh with
him now.
Tbe work of removing the rubbltb from tbe
lot on which the hotel was burnt still soe*
on, and it is fair to presume that it will be
only a short time until the construction be- I
gins.

The Due West Female College.
The exercises of this old and honored Institution
for tbe eduoatlon and culture of oar *
jroung women were opened with a most satis*
faotory attendance. President Boyce, with
in able corps of teachers and maslclanB Is a
doing a good work for tbe ohorcb. Tbe Fe- j,
male College, like Ersklne College, has needs ^
wblob the Synod should regard. Tbe lm- k

most satisfactorily. The Carnegie ball

Imposing struoture wblcb would beanorna- c
ment to any town. Due West bas some splen- e
did buildings, but tbe best Interests of educa- c
tlou would be promoted by additional buildings.
Ersklne College, we believe, Is tbe oldest

Due West Female College, we believe, Is tbe J
oldest and tbe best college for women In tbe 3
State. Tbey teacb vocal and Instrumental a
music, art, good manners, orthodox religion, o
and tbe womanly graces. Tbe girls in tbls c
college are sought in matrimony, and a great
number of them aurrender heart and soul to
gallant lovers. Tbe only fault that we And
with these educated Christian women Is, that o

that husband and wife should go to tbe same

before marriage, and tbey should nettle

NEW EXHIBITS AT
THE STATE FAIR
October 26 to 30?Prize# for
Successful Farmers.
One of the best attractions at the
State. Fair this year, which will be
held In Columbia . beginning Monday,
October 26th, and closing Friday, October
30th, will be the Field Crop Department.
This new feature will prove of
interest to every farmer In the State.
It will be under the management of
"?? t xt r?iTw>t<-?r of the
Clernson Experimental Station, who is
op.e of the best agricultural experts in
the South. Professor Harper has personally
solicited the exhibits for this
department, and will arrange everything
to advantage. He will be assisted
by his whole corps of expert
associates, and it will be worth the trip
to the fair Just to talk to these expert
men and get their ideas on practical
farming.
Clemson College will have a big exhibit
in this department, but will not
be allowed to compete with the individual
exhibits. Some fine prizes will
be awarded the farmers. For Instance,
$50 will l e given for the largest yield
of corn to the acre. $25 for the second
best, and cotton will have the same
amount awarded for the best yield per
acre. Dozens of other interesting contests
have been provided.
President Mobley, being a practical
stockman himself. Is giving much attention
to this part of the fair. There
will be more thoroughbreds shown than
ever before. The stalls have all been
renovated and the pure waier from the
city has been connected,4so that the
cattle and stock will be well taken
care of. This will be good news to
hundreds of breeders who might otherwise
have hesitated to send their finest
to the fair. The poultry show bids fair
to be a grand success this year. There
*eems to be more interest In every department.
The management believes
this will be tne largest ana oesi ia.ii
?ver h^ld here. Information as to the
prizes#'.vil) be cheerfully supplied by
President John" G. Mobley, or Secretary
V W. Love, at Columbia. S. C.
