S The Abbeville Press and Banner I including the plant and good wili o the business, has been sold by Messrs I W. W. and W. R. Bradh-y to Th< B Press and Banner Company, whicf I Company is incorporated under th( I laws of the State. The new Com pany will continue the publication o: K paper. The management of th( paper will be under the direction o: B William P. Greene, who becomes tht Kr editor. The Messrs. Bradley remain stockK,' holders in the new company and will be Interested in thp kiippp?4 r?f the n?. ? per. While their business engage ?' ments prevent them from taking any r- active part in the management of the I paper, they will, nevertheless, from time to time, and as occasion may re: quire, contribute to the columns ol the paper. p Mr. "W. A. Lee, a son of the late W. A. Lee, a distinguished lawyer ol the Abbeville Bar, and a man of lett ters; atone time editor of the Press and Banner, will join the news-gath* ^ erers and will be assistant to the - ' manager. Mr. Lee is a graduate ol r the University of South Carolina, and is well and/avcrably known tc | the people of the city. I Mr. James Martin, who has beer b so long with the Press and Banner, I will remain as bookkeeper and Manafcer of Advertising. The naoei I could hardly run without him. In addition, we will have a large ''. number of correspondents sending in ? news from every part of the county, |' We expect each week that these corP. respondents will furnish us such r . items as will be interesting to the ; public, and as will make the papei iv readable. The new company will continue . the job .printing business, making v such changes in, and additions to, I the plant as is necessary to keep it up s to the high standard which has beer p maintained by its predecessors. A ? competent force of printers will be in charge and the work will, be done in a satisfactory manner and deliv; ered promptly. The new company solicits tbe support of the public. * The Press and Banner Company. & OCR BOW. |F On assuming the management ol It- xjthjs paper, I have had some misgi vv. ing^\but having undertaken the r tfcsk, ir.will be performed to the best of my ability. In the conduct and mL management of the paper, 1 shall have the assistance and advice oi E those who have gone before. From K their experience, and from an inter* change of tiews with them, I hope to gain much. That they know a . great deai more than I shall learn for a long while I have no doubt. But v after I have had their advice, and after I have had their experience told k. me, I shall choose for myself the path to follow, and shall undertake to direct the paper along such lines >' . t kni:?..a c i_i l .x w x ucucvo wj uc wr me imarai ui the community in which I live, and ? \ of which I am a part; I shall try to makesach suggestions, and advocate ? such measures as shall promote the public good of my city and county. K That I shall err oftimes is but to say that I am human. 1 hope it is not too much for me to say for myself, that I shall at all times endeavor to be sane and sincere. The paper will be conducted primarily to furnish its readers the news,?such news as a well directed weekly newspaper should furnish to its readers. I shall not expect to do it all at once; I shall not have the | purpose to equal, nor to excel those % who have directed the affairs of the paper in the past; but I shall make t'. . such chances and advocate such policies as seem to me right, though at p?' variance with established customs j|: and. policies of some of my predecessors. ? While I hope to be able to do f something to promote the public welfare of the city and county, what I i shall have to say,is not to betaken as k adverse criticism of those in authority; but I shall assume to make suggestions to be adopted or rejected, accordingly as the suggestions, in the I:-, judgment of those in authority, are \ wise or unwise. In the building ol ' better school houses, the employ ment of better teachers, in the imK provement of methods, and in the I better management of our public I schools, we must all look for thead?y'r vanoement of the community. All f-; other things must follow in the wake \ of a more general and a more thor' ough education of the everyday man and woman. The county newspaper cannot stay out of politics, I am told. I shall not attempt it. But this newspaper will net be the organ of any man, ?; except always as we shall see it, ol ^ the.best man. While I shall have L the right to express my views, I shall not, however, try to Impose these views on others, who have a mind to f;; know and think, and a heart to love f the right, as well as I. I shall endeavor, therefore, to respect the hon .. .% i >~rry -y-*-.v. -,.-?^??;%- r^VWV ip? ?? n it in , eat views ot all men, while reserving 8 the right to believe and say that they r ? are wrong. 8 What we all look forward to is bet- i : ter things, better ways of living, bet- s ter people, better manners, better t morals, and above all better ad van- e ' tages for those who are to come after s us. This paper is here to co-operate li with all the people of Abbeville t county in trying to accomplish these t results, and I invite the co-operation t of all good men and women in the 1 undertaking. g f Wm. P. Greene, i Editor. \ ; r t , PROPOSED LEGISLATION, ii f The House and Senate have passed the bill introduced by Representative - Moore for the repeal of the acreage reduction bill. The object of the bill ? 5 was a praiseworthy one. Everyone knows that the South has been for " years impoverishing itself by raising ' only cotton. The high prices of this ' staple for several years past has but aggravated the situation. More corn j and grain should have been raised 1 these several years. But the people ^ 1 who sowed the wind are they who : ure reaping the whirlwind. Some ^ ' proper lesson from the situation in f which they found themselves during j ' the past fall was inevitable. Consequently, farmers all over the state ^ have sowed grain greatly in excess of v 1 previous years. We believe that the figures show that a half-million acres t more of small grain has been sowed r than was sowed the previous year. V 1 This will reduce the yield of cotton ^ 1 in the state some two hundred thousand bales. With the increased acre1 age in corn, and smaller consumption ^ 1 of fertilizers, the yield ot cotton will be reduced still more. No doubt the Act passed at the extra session of the ^ General Assembly caused some of f ! this grain to be planted, but the ~ 1 greater portion of the increase should ^ ' be attributed to the fact that farmers a in this state have as much common j ^ sense as the average mam Sizing up ' the situation, they have turned to the crops most likely to serve their own ends. And because they can manage their own affairs it is but proper that J ' the legislature should not appoint it' self their guardian. ' The same may be said of the Ware1 house measure then acted into law. We have not studied the situation as others may have done, and we have no reliable figures. At the same v time, we are prepared to believe that thafrthe farmers of the state will not tamely submit to a system of private ? warehouses that amounts to robbery; nor to a system of marketing the ^ cotton crop which amounts to the ^ same thing. We have farmers in the fc p state and in this county, able to own ' and operate their own warehouses. Surely men of this class win not per- ^ mit themselves to be plundered by a v few other men who happen to be in the warehouse business. Can these ; men not build and equip small plants Q of their own and store their own cot- j( ton; or cannot several of them by p banding together do the same thing; u and cannot they take care of thiir j less fortunate brothers? Ourexperi- t ence has been that when great rates ^ of interest are to be made out of any ^ business, and the door of opportunity h Is open, the yankee spirit, which is ^ in all of us, dares to enter. It may g be true as stated by some, that the n warehouse receipts of private cor- y porations are not marketable, and that money cannot be had on these ^ receipts as readily as on receipts is- 0 sued by a state officer; but credit has u to be built in any business, and sooner or later the loaning "public will ^ know whose paper is to be bought. e If any security is to be required ^ as to these receipts, the same may be j( (secured by the state placing such re strictions on the business as will pre- ^ vent the storage of cotton in ware houses on which liens exist, and-the value of the security offered may be ^ guaranteed by requiring bonds of ^ public warehousemen. A& Repre- ^ sentative Graydon said on the floor ^ of the House, governments were a] made to govern the people and not to ^ enter business. Let the government regulate the business, but do not stifle iudividual effort. " And because a government should ^ not enter into private business, we ^ cannot favor the Land bill of Mr. Graydon's. This bill is printed elsewhere in this paper. The object sought to be obtained is a most laud- j able one. The author of the bill has ^ given it considerable thought. The ^ bill is in many respects abty drawn; gj it throws many safeguards around j the proposed purchase of lands. But these proposed -safeguards are in themselves a confession of the weakness and vulnerability of the measure. The author recognizes the lurking danger and undertakes to avoid tj " ' 1( It lis proposed that certain state of- e] fleers and a Land Commissioner shall purchase lands and sell them to qual- ^ ifled electors without a payment and j( only on a year's interest ibeing advanced. The land Commissioner is n to inspect all lands offered for sale ^ and the Commission is to buy only lands suitable for cultivation. Neces' sarily the other oflicers of the state who are on the proposed buying ' commission must take advice and d 1 rely solely on the statements and i ! conclusions of the Commissioner, y Ho says what lauds should be bought, g he 'Myawbatprioeshocdd bepaMJbe' U 1 1 ia rora "the war," or other calamity. f cotton' goes to five cents, or if the n mrchasere of these lands "have not n old our cotton" when interest is due, n rho will pay the interest ? ^ Besides this, it is a mistaken no- tj ion that ?(ny white man in this state, yho wants to own his own home, aay not do so. If Mr. Graydon will ut inquire around him, he will find hat there are in Abbe ville County ^ aany young men owning their farms, ^ iuying and paying for others, and n etting on the world, because they 8i iave the will and the necessary in- w lustry to' go ahead. |He Will find h armers living on adjoining lands, he one Who, starting without any- lf hiug, is buying and paying for his, nd educating at the same time a arge family, while his neighbor, g yho inherited his, who started with t] home, with stock and all else needful nake a farmer, is headed toward a v, >overty. The man who has deter- ^ oined to have a home and own it -111 u. Kn >)noa nnf lnnlr tn fhp ^ riu iiavc'iiy iic uwq uw *uv?. ww ?..? y tate to buy it; he trusts to his own e trong right arm, and asks alms of ei 10 man. h The development of the country is f( low, it is true. Theie are many * paste places. The harvest is great, a nd the laborers few. But several 5, eneral generatiens are yet to follow a] is, and we should leave something d or them to do. Let them enter upon Ir he unexplored places in quest of a ** iome, even as the fathers sought out ^ his goodly land, and let them build h ome, improve some, and 'pass the ai fork on to others. Some trees must u e left, or there will bo none left on a /hich the coming George Washing- u ons may test their axes. cl At the same time, we believe that ^ aen might be encouraged to buy pi iud by loans on long time, at more 0j easonabie rates of interest. The fa aoney in the hands of the Sinking \md which is now loaned to coun- ^ (es, which might borrow to advanage elsewhere, might well be loaned 3 young, men desiring to purchase omes, where there is a good moral Isk, and unquestioned security. The tate should not in any case loan aore than fifty per cent of the real alue of the land. The seller will ^ arry the other half in order to make y, tie sale.; The State then has as se- m urity the land, the borrower, and se seller, the latter o:f whom must ay the State's debt in order to save is own. Lands are sold this way te very day; and more would be sold d a man could be found who would tt. >an the one-half so that the purtiaser would not be called upon to gj irry the whole debt. The State is 0, ot In the loan business anymore lan it is in the buying business, and ; should not seek loans except incientally to invest its sinking fund, 'his money has been collected from tc le people of the State to pay a debt, ^ nd it must not be invested except in it ife securities. It is not a charitable tl md, and is not collected for this urpose. , tc Wejsuggest, therefore, that it would a' e well for the bill of Mr. Graydon's ^ ) be amended by providing that the o loney be loaned only on mortgages hi f real estate, in the different coun- ^ es according to the acreage, upon a >ans to be offered as provided in the ill, and subjeet to the restrictions = hove or to such other restrictions as n lall secure a trust fund being colscted to pay the bonded obligations bi f a Sovereignty. ' * > ti ' K BLEASE'S RECORDS. S We notice from the daily papers lat frantic efforts are being made to a >cate the public records of the Govrnor's office appertaining to the last ' dministration. A committee from c< le House arid Senate has already t{ )oked under all the tables and in le cellars of the State House with o result. We suggest that they ike a look at the late penitentiary. p in Your Cold i? Dangerous (t ' Break It Up? Now n< A Cold is readily catching.

It is true that the Commis- y ioner is required to give a bond; >ut who shall say .that he did not exrcise a deliberate judgment when he aid that laud was worth twelve, dolars per acre, when it would not bring tve at public auction in normal ^ Imes: who shall say he defrauded c he state if he reports that certain v ands may be cultivated, when a t ;reat many other people believe that g t may be cultivated, but not to advantage. i, There will always be opportunity t or good stealing as long as the state t, 9 in the purchasing business. The b requent indictments against city and tate officials for fraud in connection ^ vith purchases even, for corporate mrposes warns us that this thing pf uying for somebody else with the ^ tate's money is a dangerous busiiess and should be avoided. tj Another objection to this,?we do .f tot believe that the money to pay h' he state's indebtedness should be vested in property of Jthis characer, or in lands at all. Aside from e he danger of loss in over payment, l( here is always the danger of loss by ^ Ipnrppiation. and the loss of income . - v,-'v" Wj "* i: : . !' irii'iMiririiirfil'TnTrtnWitiriii McDtFtflE COtfKTtf. - ?| The State Board of Canvassers on Thursday last reveised the Greenwood Board in declaring illegal the lection for the formation of McDufe county.

It is equally true j hat if the statutory and constitu- r ional requirements have not been t omplied with, the county should ot be established.
