IP " |?v The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ' ABBEVILLE, S. C. *$~Publlshed every Wednesday at -32 a year In advance. . Wednesday, Jan, 30, 1901. Bail Legislation. Of all tbe bad Legislation that bas been] proposed at this, or any other sitting of tbe JGeneral Assembly, that which proposes to / set a stigma on cotton mill people Is tbe most tT evil. To. Legislate them otf In a class to . ! themselves Is contrary to the spirit of our ^ government. To deprlve.people of the right to earn an honest living, and to set tbe seal of condemnation on Industry Is abhorent to oar civilization. Idleness is thedevll's workshop y and a multitude of children thrown together In Idleness would not promote good morals. Tbe mill people are cltlzenR, possessing all tbe rights of any other cltlzenB, and the? should make any attempt to degrade them by Legislative enactment. Poor people, under the most favorable circumstances, have a bard time of It In tbls world, and when the law-makers turn against them, their condl tlon Is lamentable. They are sensible people, and when they feel that they shonld have their rights abridged they will no doubt petition the Leg- W islature to make slaves of them. Btfore the war we had laws by whloh the slaves ' . were governed, while poor white people were governed by other rules. Shall we now have one law for poor parents and another for rich people, or people who can buy their food and clothing ont of the stores, whether they are ever paid for or not ? Names of publlo spirited citizens, who have accomplished something for their fellowman, are conapiouoos for their absence from the side which would Interfere with the strug. gling citizen in his effort to provide a living honestly In the sight of God and man. ?? ?? .: Pleasant Words. The Press and Banner of late has been the recipient of many pleasant words, and from none have we received words of higher praise than from the Rev. Alexander Spruntt. For ;i t . one of his blgh character and his high standing In Cbnroh and State to ntter such words is grateful Indeed. The last Issue of The Witness contained the following: "This being the last Issue of this paper, at may be noticed elsewhere, we cannot forbear adding a word of appreciation for our publisher who so richly deserves It. "For seven years The Witness has been Issued by The Press and Banner, of Abbeville, 8. C? Hugh Wilson, Esq.. proprietor, and it Ik a positive pleasure to testify to hiB Invariable promptness and courtesy. "In all these y6ar* the paper has not been delayed a single day by any fault of the publisher. Neither has bis promptness been ex ceeded by bis courtesy. He has been obliging to the last degree, even at financial cost to blm. It Is our first and sole'experlence in editing or publishing, and we are consoious of tprovooatlonsi given blm. We are. therefore, the more sensible of bis long-eufierlng and patience. From our standpoint we could not wish for business relations more satisfactory and Ideal than ours have been with blm." It has always been our ambition to have the good will of good men, and by no 6ne are kind words more appreciated than by us. Tbe fact that we have established a business wblcb is fairly successful is evidence that we bave to some extent gained tbe prize tor wblob we bave striven. Tbe advertising columns of tbe paper for Beveral years Is some evidence of merit, wblle tbe large amount ol job work wblob we bave done, and are Btill doing, Is gratifying to blm wbo Is most In teres ted. Mutual jLire;insnrance. Wblle we bave conscientious scraples about publishing life Insurance advertisements, we admit such an ad this week. i Being opposed to life Insurance In all Its various forms and phases we have tbongbt tbat It matters little to which company a fir? man contributes hlB money, and for this m reason the advertisement appears. This ? /' ' company being a Southern Company may appeal to some of our citizens above others of foreign origin. Patriotic Southerners may ' . therefore prefer this Company. Various of Fi our prominent and well known citizens bave assumed sponsorship for tbe State Mutual Annuity Life Association, and it might be presumptuous In us to even disease the cjj merit* or demerits of this company. It would tb< be liberal or generous to say that the Insurer Ja will probably gain as much and lose as little 0f by going into this company as into any other, ca If, therefore, yon are determined to com- ^ mit an act which we think is foolish and un- fa( Inst to yourself and; your family, we com- of mend yon to the State Mutual Life and Jj Annuity Association. We express this pref- a { . erence for four good and sufficient reasons: er 1st. They do business with the Press and Banner. i 2d. It is a Southern Institution. dl1 3d. Tbelr plan of allowing a man to see the ?r color of their money before he enters the j pearly gates is a consideration. tb< 4. Yon may lose no more by going into this ^ company than into others. frc Their tabulated statement will explain how they have succeeded and show you where the be money goes, and the certificates of dlstln- 1 gulsbed citizens show what they think. ? & ir "A , thi McMnbnn's Plans Defeated. In pit The plans or suggestions of the State Super- Ch lntendent of Education in reference to the Tb scboolB waB very properly defeated. Ab we a? , ' - understand, be proposed lo make the schools trl a "huckleberry over the common people's rh persimmon." It Is Idle to say that educated men are bet- rel ter able to select teachers than are the people themselves. That could be said about all the (a{ officers of the State, or the nation, for thai of matter. But to say that, 1b to lead away from "j the subject. It is not the question of tbe j best. It Is tbe choice of tbe people that is io< needed. The best teacher In the world, like tbe best preacher, mlgbt not be suited for po every community. What the people want is let the proper thing. If their standards are not clr high enough, then educate them up to tbe . * proper measure. Don't deprive them of their " rights to vote for whom they please. If self-constituted guardians of the people , may deprive the people of the right to vote for one officer they may be deprived of tbe right to vote for others. If the citizen can . vote for Legislator, Senator, Governor, Presldentlal Elector, we see no good reason why be , should not vote for school officers. If they ^ are DOi oompeieu i/iu vui? mi cwuwi uu^cio then educate them, orel6e take the ballot out 89 of their hands, so that they may make do Pc sort of claims to citizenship. ',u du ? -? di su Cotton Mill Failure*. aQ The effort to run the Charleston Cotton fir M1H by negro labor has been abondoned, and th the machinery will be moved to Georgia, ue where white labor may be employed. White Tt labor could not be bad In Charleston, and be negro labor has proved unsatisfactory. OCi The negro labor, we believe, was sufficient- fee ly Intelligent to run the machines, but tbey jc were unreliable. Tbey did not seem to be jQl Impressed with the necessity of appearing at gu their machines every day. frt It is asserted, and the assertion seems to be ug borne out by observation, that the negro, as a as rule, does not care to amaBs a fortune, or even to accumulate any considerable money jo] . . in our observation, It seems that as soon as a th negro acquires a small property, he feels that wi be bas done enough and is not impressed jQ with the Importance of continued effort. A ev number of negroes do well up to a certain od point, and then they go backward. se( "fy ' ' J1* V T \\!, 1HV If ' ^All Winter 77ie Sa/e HEAVY WOOLEN DREi T A T^TTPO A Am TV/TTCJCST7Q 1 juiliyjljjo AiNX/ XUXUUJUU U Flaneletts, Outings, Over ] rill be oil Sale, which must be R.
