r The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. -aa^PubllBhed every Wednesday at 52 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Oct. 9, 1901. ? South Carolina'* Xeed. Tbe Manning Times comments upon tbe course attributed to tbe News and Courier In "giving prominence to all tbe little flings and misrepresentations agalnt McLaurln" tbat may appear In other newspapers. We are unabl6 to understand why a great * paper like tbe News and Courier should " choose to make Itself offensive to a large part of the people. Nobody would have the News and Courier, or any other paper, oonoeal or wltbold Its own opinions. Tbe people expeot an editor to speak bis oonvictlons, but those who differ irom blmare entitled to both respectful consideration and fair treatment. if anybody can give a good reason why the the opponents of McLaurln should make themselves offensive to those who differ from them, we should like to see It. We be brethren. We all love South Carolina. People of all deifreBM of DOlltlcal faith am lovn.1 to the old Slate. Patriotism Is not absorbed by any one party. Love ol public honors and the desire for public office Is lound everywhere, , with only here and there an exception. In truth and candor we presume that ilcLaurln's aocusers would claim lor themselves _ neither greater love for the State, nor more ability or more honesty of purpose tban is possesed by the believers in McLaurin's politics. It has not been shown where any ol his enemieB are better than he Is. We do not know why the Antl-Mclaurln papert are reduced to the necessity of making barefaced and unsupported charges against the supporters of McLaurin, while the f( makers themselves oould not lay their li hands upon their hearts and say they spoke the r< truth when they claim a super-abundance ol j, publlo spirit, and charge that McLau- li rin and his supporters have appropriated all ^ the evil qualities. For instance : c Would Col. Hoy t ol the Greenville Moun- c talneer claim greater patriotism and more re- jj speotabllity than an impartial Jury would ? award to Editor Wallace of the# Newberry 11 Observer? * 0 Would the Yorkville Yoeman claim to be 0 better and purer tban the Carolina Spartan ? t Would the Laurens Advertiser assume a degree of patriotism superior to and in exoess of c that possessed by the Yorkville Enquirer ? e Would the Orangeburg Patriot place its a own loyally to South Carolina above that of v the good old Keowee Courier ? a Would the LaurenB County News assume * to be belter able to speak for the people than p (ha Hamhnrar (-) nra IH O kUO A/CIUJVVI^ x^viuiu t r Would the News and Courier and the State ? Jay claim to a monopoly of public aplrlt, and obarge tbat the Evening Post, the Dally * Record, the Greenville News and the Spar ? tanburg Herald were short on this most high- I z&i. ly priced quality ? j5 The News and Courier and The State arr |{ partlzan, and constantly give cause of oflense 1 to the supporters of McLaurln, while the other /our papers are for MoLaurin, but fair a to all. ? If It were possible for the News and Courier o and Tbe State to represent tbe whole people f< of the Commonwealth, Instead of a faotlon, It would be a consummation devoutly to be b ?j;' ? wished. These papers are published at tbe t great centres In this State and it would be a 1 blessed thing If every man In tbe State oould regard both with friendly consideration, how- t ever much they might differ In politics. The b same Is true of the oounty papers. The peo- 6 pie expect and desire the editors to speak not t only their convlotlons, but to proclaim tho reasons for the faith that Is within them, but C all tbe people have a right to be treated with b decent respeot. ' South Carolina needs newspapers that can K be. fair. Partlzan feeling, and the mlsrepre t> sentatlon of the other side, Is not our Ideal or J the highest Journalism. We cannot believe g tbat tbe News and Courlerdoubts tbe honesty and theslncerety of those who support Mc- t ijounu. fTC vauuuk uoiio*o tuav. iivna and Courier would seriously claim to be t more hODest and more patriotic than McLan- v rlo'8 supporters. Believing that the News a and Courier would not be so egotlstloa!, we t fall to Bee wbereln tbat paper expects to gain v anything, or bopes to be more Influential, by t simply rubbing the hair the wrong way, aDd 1 reducing tbe circle of its friends, Instead of u printing for all the people, aDd making s friends of all tbe people. No newspaper ? county or titate, need circumscribe its In y fluence or reduce its friends to only Its follow- d ers. What tbe people want is reason. Tbe s time has passed for attributing everything s evil to our neighbors tbat we may lay olalms ?i to a monopoly of all tbe virtues. P Tbe false aocusatlous against MoLaurln and g bis supporters will avail nothing. Tbe peo- n pie are not natural born fools. They recognise fools wben they see them, and tbe t; newspapers might Justa well realize tbe situ cl atlon, and place themselves at the bead of tbe a procession In tbe march to wider fields and greater sources of Industrial development' S The people are determined to advance In ft W., material prosperity. d V T vinerenc? ui vjiiuiuui Tbe State thinks If all {be other candidates 0) for Senator would withdraw In favor of 0( Hampton, tbat McLaurln "as a candidate against Wade Hampton would bardly re- w eelve 5,000 votes." a1 This newspaper belleveB that McLaurin Q| would distance Wade Hampton In suob a it t 1 race. As one who favors the election of Mo- a Laurln as against any man who apposes his ^ principle, we would have no sort of doubt as . to tbe result. Everybody honors the brave ai old hero of 1876, but he has bad bis day, and 8( cannot again be elected to tbe Senate. Bl As a matter of fact, General Hampton is a baok number. His career bb a public official has been, ended with honor to himself and with credit to his State, but there Is now no widespread demand for his services, and tbe l( necessity for his re-entering politics does not a exist. n '!\ His friends do a cruel thing in thrusting j, him and bis name forward at Inapportune 5' times. S1QC6 ueuerai xiuuipiuu b ua;a ui 0 power and glory the old Issues have passed ^ away and are now but a memory, or a chap- a ter In history. New conditions confront us. b ^ New issues demand our attention, and new t] men are on tbe stage. g The generation that Hampton served conferred their richest honors upon him, and be receives the respect and love of a grateful country, but bis word is no longer law, aDd he is not now a factor io politics. Tbe old f( hero should be allowed to rest lu peace. A n On InduHtrlal Linen. A We notice In some of our exchanges that the editors in South Georgia purpose to organ- b Ize an editorial association which shall "set w lis foot squarely against politics and pleasure K Junketings," aDd In "its deliberations will deal entirely with the business that concerns - ** * UolfArP Its own interests urci ?uu iuo j>uui,v of South Georgia second." o K , It seems to us that an organization of editors along these Hues would be profitable In- * deed. When men in the same line of endeavor assemble and discuss the details of their busl- ? oess, such meetings cannot fail to be of benefit > to the individual. The best Informed printer may learn something from the leastinformed. ?' ? No man knows It all. And every man knows something, except the man who thinks he knows it all. a i . , I FALL and WINTER JACKETS, Fur Collarettes. ?sFine Di In all the lei Df the many attr Black Dress Department. This Departmei ever before. We 1 attractions to show < this line. 555 We Have Col. Willie Jones Withdraws. Col. Wllle Jones Is represented as saying: "I have conoluded not to enter the race for United Stales senate next year, because I 3el that I cannot give up my borne business Dterests, unless tbere be a special demand i>r It. I bave a very large personal acquaintnee with tbe Democrats of Ibis State. Judg g from letters received and many personal atervlews I feel satisfied tbat my chances for be nomination to tbls dlstlngusbed position rould bave been fully aB good as tbat of any andldate whose names Is now mentioned id nnnnction with the senatorshlD. I would ave no political fear 10 run against any man a this State except two, namely, Senator '111man and Gen. Hampton, because I beleve either of tbem could beat me or any ther man In the State. ' By the way, I think the very best solution f the senatorial contest would be for all of be young men who are dow candidates for be place to announce their withdrawal on be condition that Geo. Wade Hampton acepttbe position and let tbe old general be leoted without opposition. "Without any refection upon any candidte now in tbe field I believe Geo. Hampton's lews on national polltlos meet with tbe pproval of practloally all the Democrats in be State. Such a happy and gracious event s tbe selection of Gen. Hampton at tbip articular time would make tbe Democratic arty of this State absoultely irresistabie and ave us of mucb agitation and feeling wtien bere is so mucb else for our people to do. "I happened in 1877 to be one of tbe sis )emocratlc boys who carried Gen. Hampton n our shoulders from tbe piatform where be ras Inaugurated tbrough tbe streets of Ooumbla to tbe hotel, and today again It would e my great pleasure to co operate in el?vat g him to this hlgb position, because I beleve it would be for tbe good of the-great )emooratlo party of my State." Evil minded persons may not tas:e tbe ssigned reasons of Col. Jones at their face alue. We believe that Col. Jones is a man f at least fair ability who is possessed of the acuity of reasoning. That belDg so, he must bave realised that lis action in tbe State Democratic Execulve Committee, Beared bis fate as a Senatoral possibility. Then evil minded persons may bave bought that Col. JoneB intended to let him elf out of the race as nicely as possible by uggesting Gen. Hampton's name for Senaor. The suggestion Is no doubt graierui to tne leneral and a few of his personal friendsut how will tbe other candidates and tbelr rlends take tbe proposition ? The Idea ot Ivlng tbe place to General Hampton seems o have been an afterthought?when Col* ones became convinced that he conldn't et It for.himself. Tbe State In an editorial endorses General lampton and asks If others will withdraw, n all tbat tbe State says In bonor of Humpon, tbe Press and Banner folly agrees, but ?hen Col. Jones and Tbe Stale say tbat he Is breast of the times and In full accord with be Democratic party or words to tbat efiect, re are at sea. Gen. Hampton has not been in ouch with the people since he went to WashDgton. Since then be has not been among is. We do not know General Hampton's entlments on any of tbe Issues of the day. Ls far as we know be has been silent of late ?1 4 f flonorQ 1 J-T omntnn lu ears, uuu wo ucucic, ucucm Irawn Into tbe coming senatorial race tbe reult will mortily bim beyond degree. Tbe reult would not be a fair estimate or tbe esteem a which be 1b held by tbe people. Tbe peo le love him for his past services, but they reard him as having passed tbe years of usefuless. It Is not neecessary to speak of tbe posslbill. y of the people making him their unanimous bolce. They would not do so, even If all the indldateB In tbe field should withdraw. General Hampton did a great service to tbe tate. In recognition of that service be was, >r many years, awarded high office, and the ebt Is discharged. be Associate Reformed Orphanage. The letter of Mr. John H. Simpson may be f Interest to this people. For this reason we )py tbe same. We know nothing of the orphanage, bat ould like to know more of It. If the Aesoclte Reformed Presbyterians are on the looknt for a borne for the orphanage, they might it the different towns oompete for It, and ward It to the town giving most for It?all lings being equal. Abbeville has churobeB, vo railroads, plenty of town lots and vast reas of farming lands. We know of no rea>n why a sum, equal to the advantages, lould not be raised here. Not For Snle. It has been announced that General Hamp)n Is not for sale. It Ib hardly probable that nybody ever thought that he was on tbe larket. Tbe announcement was scarcely necessary. We do not know of anyody who wanted to buy blm, and we know f no reason for desiring to buy blm, even If e were offered on the market. We agree to U that may be said In honor of Hampton, ut the fact might Just as well be recognized iat be Is no longer a political power In outh Carolina. 6 * Tbe Press and Banner Is indebted to the lanagemenl of the Augusta Merry-Makers >r invitation to attend their annual festival, .ugusta and Abbeville were once very closef connected, by business relations, and it iay be that the broken ties may be renewed, bbeville feels kindly to Augusta, and we ave no doubt that t-ome of our people will e glad to lake part in the good times that rill characterize the week ol pleasure in the ood old city on the Savannah.
