Editors Press and Banner: 0fl- The time is near at hand \Vhen the peontri pie will choose their law-makers to guide ox{ the old Ship of State. The best heritage that a man can leave are his children is a good government, and the only way to have a good government is to ,10)] elect good, true and tried men to olTtee? eiJS men something like the old apostle Paul; jn when they put him in prison because In; He. was a ltoiuan and then proposed to take on" him out under the name of a different Ulll tribe, he refused: he said that he was a m? lioman when lie went in and that he was t,f going to lie a lioman when he came out. Men like him is what it takes to ni.tke a on good government?not men like Tillman's a|j Lizard, that changes to the color of every (l&t thing they get onnot iuen that will fair^. vor one thing today and bo against it to-. u morrow. IJutelect men that will stand by e,.g their colors and light under one llag all the ieu time. jcu t*. ? 1,1 ~ u?4. ion AL "uullt iiittri tu wiiui/ will be the issue in the next campaign. Ilfr Tho prohibition question is about settled, j and the lien law is repealed; the Legislates ture will have to get up something to kill ,nt the forty days. Gf I told the people in the last campaign tys that it would be a great mistake to repeal )(j'e the lien law, and any man with one eye mf? can see that I was right. I told them that eSg no country on earth could get along within out some basis of credit for its consumers. ere Can any man say that the repeal of the (llft lien law was nut a mistake when it cost the 0f State twenty thousand dollars to repeal it, ,jr_ and the Legislature enacted a mortgage jn?r law that is just the same thing that we ew had before V in(l In the nest place, there was a great hue iny and cry raised among some 01 the farmers that the>; could better control labor if the incj lien law was repealed. Have they done it ? No, no, a thousand times no. 1'here has ity been more violations of contracts this year u"f than was ever known in the history of the wn country, and there are more idle negroes )0(j walking around now than was ever known )ue before, and they will walk up to a white man's door?it doesn't matter how grassy vv0 his crop is?and tell him that they won't his hit a lick for less than seventy-five cents a day and three meals. Where is your mort gage law, Brother Farmers V How. much good has it done you iu the way of eonTji trolling labor V 1 guess you feel like the ' Irishman who went to the monkey show, * and just about the time the show commenced the monkey died; tho Irishman itji said to the bystanders: "Faith and be"* criste! the monkey is dead, and the show is all over?our money is gone and we are , " that much poorer." So our twenty thou sand dollars that the Legislature spent to repeal tho lien law is gone, and the State is that much poorer. '7 It seems to me that it would bo of as I ' much importance to the people for the Legislature to make some changes in the ,on laws we already have as to make new ones. The County government law needs some changes; the School law needs some changes, so that we can have betterschools in the country?the towns and cities have t Rood schools already; we need some "v, changes In the law in law in regard to our " public institutions?Clemson needs some ip " changes and Lethe needs some changes, ,pjl aud others likewise ; the Jury law needs some changes; the Fertilizer law needs t some changes, and I will not leave out the Pension law?there is grave injustice in r~ that. There are men who go to the Clerk's office and draw pensions who never saw a _ Yankee in their lives?(unless he was capj * tuied by somebody else)?and never fired i a gun in their lives. I contend that the law in regard to pensions ought to be i made equal?that every Confederate soldier who went to the front and offered up his life for his country ought to be penit sioned alike, except those who are disabled, and that class ought to have more. L-,. Under the present law a Confederate sol!. dier can't draw a pension if he is worth a for certain amount of property- Is that equal rights to all and special privileges to none ? ^ I shall answer, No. The Confederate soldier who was worth a million dollars, if he ,ng went to the front and marched in the same ? line and charged the same breastworks as the man who was worth only live dollars, ?et is entitled to the same pension. "Y? I could mention a great many other things, but I feel like lam working a hard ship on the editor. You will hear from me again. , W. C. Shaw. The State of South Carolina, the County of Abbeville.

Editor Press and Banner: As the citizens of Abbeville have conclusively shown by their conduct in reference to the building of the recently proposed cotton mill and the trolley line which was to connect us with the outside world, that they don't want tho peace and quiet of their city disturbed by any such things, I beg to offer a few suggestions appropriate to the subject, and they are these: Let us have a mass meeting of the citizens of the town and put ourselves on record somewhat as follows: Whereas, there is an urgent demand on the part of those who have acquired a competency of this world's goods for some quiet place where they might settle down and enjoy the fruits of their past labors, freed from tho annoyances incident to manufacturing and other industrial pursuits, and at the same time enjoy first class educational and religious advantages; And, whereas, it is the consensus of opinion of this meeting that Abbeville is an ideal place for such a purpose; therefore, be it resolved, 1st. That we deprecate any movement looking to the establishment in our midst of any kind of manufacturing or other business enterprises calculated to disturb the peace, quiet and serenity of the place, and shall regard any one guilty of 6uch illadvised conduct as an enemy to the best interests of the city. 2nd. That we will do all in our power to, encourage that noble band of ladies constituting the Civic League in their efforts honntifv nnhlio tsrmnrn n.iwl t.hft templated lovely little triangle park at the parting of the ways, where our children may assemble and imbibe patriotic sentiments as their attention is called to the fact that they are resting in the shadow, as it were, of the stately building where was held the last cabinet meeting of the late lamented Jefferson Davis and his counsellors?heads of the so-called Confederacy. 3rd. That wo will use our utmost endeavors to build up and still further improve our splendid Graded and High schools, by encouraging in every way our accomplished body of teachers, male and female?mostly female; instead of showing a disposition to hold them to a personal accountability if in their judgment it should become necessary to reprimand or punish any of our children?and likewise encourage those self-sacrificing ladies who have accomplished so much in the way of establishing a first-class public library in our midst, and thus truly merit tho title, for our dear old town, which we should all aspire to, that of being regarded as the "Athens of South Cai'olina," not, forsooth, because of its proximity to the city of Athens over in Georgia, but because of the fact that it is the centre of learning, culture and refinement. 4th. That we hereby extend a cordial invitation to all pood people, no matter from whence they may come, to settle amongst us, pledging ourselves that nothing shall be tolerated calculated in the least to grate upon their sensitive nerves or that shall shock their conceptions of propriety or decency. 5th. That as a first step in the'line of carrying out the last preceding resolution the city authorities be requested to adopt an ordinance prohibiting any merchant or other business man or any of thfeir clerks or employees from appearing upon the public square, or at their respective places of business in their shirt sleeves, as we regard such conduct as very undignified and wanting in that respect which is rightfully due to the ladies of any refined community ?and such as would not have been tolerated in ante-bellum times. And, also, an ordinance suppressing the numerous nerve-racking, bfood-ouraling, so-called phonographs, things that we are sure Mr. Edison would regard as a ludi crous representation of one of his choicest inventions. And now, in conclusion, Mr. Editor, let , mo say that the people of this city, as you well know, are largely made up of the de- J scendants of what might well be termed ante-bellum aristocrats, no cod-fish aristocrate, but the genuine article, and they , don't take kindly to hard work; it goes ' against the grain and there is no use try- . ing further to make water run up hill or to . go against nature. Then let us turn our attention to something for which we are fitted?something ' that will appeal-to the aesthetic in our : make up, and leave such eordid things as running railroads, cotton mills, etc., to those who are built that way.

Along its Line- * Atlanta, Ga., July 12,?That the farmers ?' af the Southeastern states are anxious to b( take advantage of every opportunity offering them information tending to bring about bettor methods of farming and more profitable agriculture, such as c the agrcultural trains which it has become ? the policy of the Southern Railway Company to run over its lines in the various states which it penetrates through its Land and Industrial Depart- j ruent connection with state departments of agriculture or agricultural colleges, is *1 shown by the interest displayed by far- S( mers in Piedmont, Virginia, over 2,000 of whom attended the meetings along the ~i route of the train which recently spent a week in that section. The train was in t charge of Hon. G. W. Koiner' Commismoner of Agriculture for Virginia, and 2? bore a corps of experts who gave instruc- v tive/ lectures on subjects of particular interest to farmers of the various communities visited. The traia was out six days and sixteen meetings were held between Alexandria and Danville. "At nearly every stop the two passenger coaches which were used as lecture rooms B were filled and at some places it was m necessary to hold outside meetings to accommodate the crowd3. Farmers' J wives turned out in large numbers apdi I showed as much interest as the men. At the close of the meetings at almost every stop farmers remained to ask questions about topics which, interested them sspeoially. At every stop appreciation of the work done by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and the Southern Railway Company was expressed, at a number of points votes of thanks being given. Immediately after the tour of the train letters began coming to Commissioner Koiner ana the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway Company, from farmers requestiug that information be sent them. At all places where meetings were held the mines and addresses of farmers in attendance were taken and to these the Virginia Department of Agriculture and the Southern's Land and Industrial Department will In the future send special information re- ferring to crop growing or to other sub- V jecis Oil which uit'su ltumurs especially ^ desire instruction. In this way the influence of the train will be made permanent. Twelve months ago a similar train was operated over the lines of the Southern between Richmond and Danville and . Norfolk and Danville at which time a A large number of farmers attended the meetings held. A large number of names were taken, and a short time ago M. V. * Richards, head of the Southern's Land and Industrial Department, wrote to | each of these asking them the extent to which the running of these trains had been of practical benefit to him. The very large number of replies in which it was stated that *rreat practical good had resulted show the value of running such trains. Soil improvement, crop diversification, more attention to live stock, and improved methods of culture had all resulted from attending the meeting u,ud many farmers reported greatly increased profits. A similar train was operated over the Mobile and Qhio, Railroad, in West Tennessee a few weeks ago under the auspices of the Southern's Land and Industrial Department. Large numbers of fanners attended the meetings. Sptandid New StoresMr, R, E. C?x is building for Smith it Cox two large now store rooms which will l>o thrown into one.
