$ '*1 The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ( 4&~Pabliehed every Wednesdp at. 32 a year in advanoe. Wednesday, Oct. 14, 1903. Illicit Distillery. La*t week revenue officers broke up two Illicit distilleries near Due West. One was wltbln four miles of the town, and the other was about a mile from the place. One was In operation and the fires were burning; when captured. As nobody was In attendance It Is presumed that the operators were off at din* v. ner when the representatives of your Uncle 8am called. If this Is not the solution of It, the machinery for making this whiskey must have been automatic, and would run without personal supervision. One of the strange things about this Btlll house is that nobody seemed to know of its existence. Anti tin tn this time nobodv has found out to whom It belonged. The names of the stockholders and officers are withheld. The news of the establishment of this industrial enterprise near Dae West bad not reached Abbeville nntll after It bad been destroyed. It la thought that opposition to tke dlspen. sary bad no connection with the setting up of thlsaatomatlo fountain for the production of that fluid which Bobby Burns Bald would bring us victorious over all the Ills of life. Another and a less poetlo person said It made some men feel that tbey were rich and made others forgot that tbey were poor. And then another and a still more orthordox Authority spoke of It In the most condemnatory manner. To a layman at this dlstanoe, It seems that It was a pleoe of presumption to set'.up a distillery so near to Due West, where the people are a unit In opposition to Intoxicants In any form or nnder any brand of make. ? s Victory for the Standplpe. When our deep well was first finished the ' water was analyzed and pronounced healthy. I Time has proved the correctness of that analysis,and the wisdom of using the stand pipe water is no longer a donbt. This 8ummer some four or five households have been afflicted with typhoid fei er. In no lnatanoe has any of the families who nse the atandpipe water.suffered. This, we think, la all that could be said for the standplpe water. Mayor McMillan informs ns that Doctor Orrof Anderson baa kept a record of the . Aver oases in that city, and he says that in no lnatanoe where famlllea have used stand. At pipe water exclusively has a ca&e of fever occurred. The council of Abbeville is digging additional wells, and report that the sup. ply of water has increased from 05 gallons to 90 gallons a minute. A still further increase it expected. - The increase of our supply of pure water is of the last Importance to our people and I ought to be more welcome news than anything else whloh this newspaper oonld publish. It may ooet a great deal less to oonnect with water mains than to nurse sick members or the family. The charge for water is less than the expense of keeping up well buokets and ropes. The additional supply of water 1b a real cause of congratulation. The ooonoll has done many good things, bat nothing oonld be better than glvlnff us a apply of good water. Editor In Conrt. V,. Editor J. W. Shelor, of the Keowee Courier, was among the attorneys in Coart last week, and during his stay in town he made a call at the Press and Banner office, where he was { gladly weloomed. The Keowee Courier Is ( one ot the best newspapers in the 8tate, but we told him that we had been thinking of j calling on the Courier and the Bamberg | Herald to aocount for the frequent absence of editorials In these papers. The Bamberg ' Herald and the Keowee Courier are first olass ( when they have editorials. And editors who can furnish as good editorials as these papers oiten oontaiu, should be called to the bar of the State Press Association to account for omissiODs. The Tillman Trial. 1 be Tillman trial at Lexington Is nearlug the end. \ The testimony was finished on Saturday. Attorneys fo; defense proposed to submit the case to uhe Jury without argument. Tnis proposition was not aooepted by the State. The attorneys began speaking on Monday. The arrangement, or agreement, was that two daysshould be given to argument. The charge of the Judge is to be made at I twelve o'clock today, Wednesday. I r Ofoourse the probable aotlon of the Jury \ cannot be foretold. We have heard only two opinions expressed, namely : Either acquttai or mistrial. The Grand Jury. ' Elsewhere in these oolumns we publish the presentment of the Grand Jury, which refers io me uooxb ana accounts or Mr. J. it. uiaKe Tbe discrepancies mentioned In the report j are purely clerical and do not In any way refleet on Mr. Blake's Integrity.
