In the Minutes of the recent meeting of the of the Second Presbytery of the Assoolate Reformed Cburcb, Mr. Ira S. Caldwell In his report, which was adopted, among other > ' things, said: ' Sessions are to urge all families to take the Church paper." Which la "the ohurch paper?" Mr. Caldwell ought to have been more specific. In looking around, we have been trying to "locate" the "ohurch paper." It Is a well-known fact that Synod has no ?^ paper. \ It Is well known that all the papers hereabout are published for the profit that the owners may realize on their Investment. It le a well-known fact that Individuals' and not the Synod, pay the expense of publishing their newsDaDera. and then they nut the profits Into their own pockets. In anr effort to discover "the church paper," tbe names of these newspapers occur to ut> namely: 1. The Chester Lantern. The editor is a pious and consistent Associate Reformed P Presbyterian. He takes much interest Id tbe local church matters. And tbeD Brother Blgham says "Sabbath" with a boly unction, seemingly totally unconscious of tbe faot that Sabbath refers to tbe institu* Hon and not necessarily to Sunday. Tbe Lantern is a good paper, consistent, and ex' emplitylng many oi tbe Christian graces. I* it "the church paper ?" 2. Tbe Wlnnsboro News and Herald. We believe It is owned and edited by Associate Reformed Presbyterians. ]t Is a most excellent paper, blgb-toned and honorable. Is it "tbe oburcb paper?" 8. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian It is owned by Associate Reformed Presbyterian stockholders, who are making a good thing out of it. It is a Due West paper, a page beiDg given to tbe write-up of loeal celebrities who may enjoy tbe personal 1 friendship of 1 to editors, while those whom It would punish, either by neglect or agressIveness are the subjects of his displeasure Is It "the eburch paper?" 4. The Abbeville Medium. This paper is owned by Associate Reformed Presbyterians. Its editor, like the editor of the Chester Lantern, the Wlnnsboro News and Herald, and the Associate Relormed Presbyterian, pays the expense of publication and then puts the profits ln?o his own pooket, and not Into the treasury of the Church. The editor comes from long line of Associate Reformed Presbyterian ancestors, and while he cannot use "the Sab bath" with the same unction as does the Lantern, be is steadfast in the. faith. Is the Medium "the cbnrch paper?" b. The News and Courier. The edltoi ol this paper was born with "Sabbath" printed on bis tongue, but be has been associating with the Charleston gentlemen so long that he says "Sunday" in bis paper. For tbireason, we think we must rule him and hi* paper out of any chance to be "the church paper." 6. The Abbeville Press and Banner. Although this paper is edited by a crank who doeen't always seep step with every selfappointed Sir Oracle, la owned and published by tbe strictest of tbe strict Associate Reformed Presbyterians. Born aDd bred In tbt faltb, tbey are as true and as faithful to tbe church as^were their forefathers for a hundred years. Is tbe PresB and Banner "the church paper?" Judging from the amount of religious matter that appears In its columns, and basing opinion upon tbe effort wblch u has made to help the preachers on to perfec lion, It would seem that Mr. Caldwell had reference to the Press and Banner when urging tbe people to take "tbe church paper.' Tbe claims ot the Presbyterian and otbei papers upon the church are about equaltu the claims of the Press and Banner. Each oi the newspapers are In one respeot at least on exactly the same footing. But as one star dlffereth from another star In glory, so one 01 ''\ these newspapers may lead the others In excellence, but tbe lact remains that each Is owned by private Individuals who reap benefits of their labor. All are laboring espe olally for their own personal Interest and Incidentally working lor the upbuilding ol iDe unurcn. Mr. Caldwell Is kind to the Press and Banner, bat be will please excuse as from accepting bis kindness when it is at tbe expense 01 tbe brethren, either one of whom Inasmuch entitled to official or Synodlcal recognition as tbe Press and banner. When we have our money invested in a private enterprise it Is not in good form to use theCbnrch to advance one brother's interest at the expense of others. While on the subject of ohurch papers, it may not be amiss to suggest that the Associate Reformed Church does need a cburcb newspaper. A newspaper that would come up to ? the requirements of oue of tbe best eduoated denominations in the South is one of tbe greatest needs of the Cburcb. You may talk of cburch colleges as you please, but a church paper is of the greatest Importance. A paper which Is owned by tbe Synod and euueu oy ice representative aDimy 01 tne * Church, and published Id the Interest of the church and Its colleges, Is a great power lor c good?a power which 1b not exceeded by any e other enterprise. It touobes tbe people q everywhere, and when It measures up to tbe requirements Its presence in tbe bouse- 8 bold Is a benediction to tbe family and a tower of strength to the cburcb. In the nature of things a private enterprise, like any of tbe papers named above, cannot fill the mission of a Church paper. While the Lantern Is a good church paper, and while tbe other papers to which reference 1b bad, are excellent papers of their kind, yet they cannot write effectively on Church polity, or report good work going on In tbe dlfierent congregations. "The Carolina Field." Tbe Carolina Field, of Georgetown, Is one of the cleanest as well ae one ol tbe best newspapers that come to this office. And the editor, with his pen, Is one of tbe ablest as well hb one of tbe readiest men In tbe State. He descended from good honest stock. With high motives and tbe noblest purposes in view we predict for Its editor, Mr. James Henry Bice, Junior, tbe best of success In bis efforts to advertise and build up tbe waste places along tbe coast. In tbe coming of Mr. Rice Georgetown has an acquisition to its best element, and he deserves all good things from all the good people with whom he comes in contact. May "The Carolina Field" flourleh and pros- 1 per as the green bay tree, and bring forth J fruit of the mobt useful kind. \ 1 i t Among the pleasant callers at the Press and s Banner office last week was John K. Aull c Court stenographer. He Is a son of Mr. E. H.' <] Aull, editor of the Newberry Herald and A News, and for energy, ability, and pleasant manner, he Is a worthy descendant of the t distinguished editor.

The story or t^elt is I teiest- t ug, especially is it intertHining to ihuHe of us ivbo have known Mrs. Barksdule, and have t seen for a long time more or )cks acquaint'd r Willi her life ami her good worlts. r When she was young she was notably hand t lottie and encaging In her perpouality. Her |i beart and her hand were saught in marriage i t>y various suitors, and three times she enter- c ;d the holy estate of matrimony. But notwithstanding the fact that she was ihree a Limes married, more than one half of her i womanhood has been spent in widowhood. < 3ne alter another, deatb removed her hmoands, and now for a long time she has been 1 i widow. I Among others who Courted her was a rich t jld man In Tennesee. He was seventy years c )f age, while she was youDg and handsome. C LJpon her relusal to marry him, ho ollered to t settle upon her one-fourth of bis vast estate s rbls sbe refuted, and in that refusal, a cold 1 ind beartle(-s world would suy that t-he made \ tier greatest mistake. An old fool of seveuty, f who marries a pretty girl of twenti-flve, is t almost sure to be called to the heavenly c shores before bis bride is safely installed in \ bis earthly mansion. t In that event the pretty widow would have < snough money to set up her second husband In all the comforts of life, and whom she t might marry for love, while he had an eye to t ousiness. And if that second husband was a I young man, the probability is, that the hap ? py young couple would have in store for ' them many years of happiness at the old I fool's expense. I Beihg of the positive nature, Mrs. Bnrksdale f bas always been active, not only In business, but In her unselfish desire to do good to those who were helpless. In the book before us, she omits almost entirely the chapters In ber life work along the lines of which are t lentered the deeds which always command t respect and sympathy. While she men- s Lions the names of one or two of the eight t orphans for whom she cared, yet she falls to 1 ;ive the names of the others. Mrs. Barks- I iale's affection for orphan children exceeded r aer financial ability. t It was, as we understand, her support of d helpless children that compelled her to mort- c ;age her larm. j If we are not in error, the proceeds of this Mortgage was expended in caring for little f :hildren who had lost their natural protec- a ors. o Seeing that she must give up the work a n which she was so much interested, or else c jecome bankrupt, she sorrowfully gave up t he burden which she had carried for years, c ?nd then, she, in her old age, went to work in t ler own behalf, and, as she states In her book, d ias pahl off the debt on the farm. 1 The book is an interesting one, and will be ead with pleasure. . 1 And now a word as to the literary part of 8 he work by Kev. J. F. McKlnnon, who is so e vel 1 known to our people. 1 The Press and Banner has regarded Mr. Mc- c ilnnon as an educated and cultured gentle- r nan, familiar with the proprieties which us- d lally govern. V In the introductory it were better that the 1 >artial list of the names of pastors in the t :ounty should have been omitted. There a vere many others whose namee did not ap>ear, but whose piety, usefulness and inflisince equaled the best. The list of * the names of the companions and aequalnttnces of my youth" must have been very 1m>erfect, and if imperfect, should not have r >een published, except on occasion. Mr. Mc ii vinnon traces Mrs. Barksdale's kinship back j ,o John C. Calhoun, the claiming of which a elationship makes us very tired, ["he hero of a story need not bask in the rejected greatness of kindred. The success of p iBefulness and the stcry of unselfishness, as n the case of Mrs. Barksdale, shines more E esplendeut in her own good works than f n the holo of distinguished kin, who 8 would have recorded in their books, neither ler name nor the labor of love which she be- d itowed upon the helpless. Miss Susan Ann a itlchey, with her strong will power, and her 0 sharming personality needed no certificate of >lue blood. S Another matter, Mr. McKlnnon, in his f ^reparation of this book, too often speaks ol 'slaves." . t Again: It is evident that Mr. McKlnnon a ioe6 not understand the meaning of some of g he words which he used. r All in all, the book Is a good one, and it would be well if a greater number of good J women and useful men would publish books t whioh record the story of their lives. . .. h Iiet Us Pull Together. n The State has been boosting Columbia, and s Columbia has increased in manufactures, 0 iommerce, citizenship, wealth and all that 6 ;oes to make a great city. The waste places which a few years ago had ltMe or no commercial value are now centres >f activity and financial value. But Columbia, like Abbeville, has some citl- r' ;ens who are not impressed with the necessity 0 >r giving aid and oomfort to those who would 8 ;o forward In the work of building up the P own, increasing Its manufacturing enter- a irises, developing the market value ol mr real estate, and putting new life-blood In P ill the arteries of trade while contributing to n he general activity and prosperity of the' n own. ? Abbeville Is proud of her lineage, aud boasts if her triumphs along all the social, the po- l' Itical and the literary lines. But we lack one p hing, namely: Co-operation In an effort to nake the town more than a cross roads es- 0 ablishment. Better people never lived, but their horizon m many matters does not extend to the geniral welfare, where all would receive conseluentlal or Incidental advantages. Suppose we had another cotton mill. Does inybody doubt that there is a single business * irm or property holder who would not be lenefltted? The railroad shop and the building of tbe ' otton mill have done wonders for Abbeville, j* Another cotton mill would add to that pros>erlty. But a new cotton mill, or a new en erprlse of any sort, must cost somebody omethlng. Are you willing 'to do your part, ir do you Wish to withhold ths nrnnur anmnr. igemeut while lying In wait for the benefits w o be derived from the liberality and the pub- e lc spirit of your more enterprising nelgbK)rt>? The State, along thin line, says: We sometlmeR wonder If the very man> Columbians who are not actively engaged in vork for the general good realize how those vents which Inertase the fame and honor ol he city as well as its prosperity are brought Lbout. How do "things" happen ? How are thlnKR" done and who do them? What Is he ditference between a dead town and one v bat is alive and advertised to the world? These, we think, are pertinent enquiries. A b own does not get up and walk. If It moves orward there are live people pulling and " >ushlug. and It Is Important that the method .. ?uu lUDt lUOBB , jot pulling or pusblDK may In tbe future re rain, at least, from dragging on the wheels. r< Svery convention, every reunion, every gathsring here of any kind that brings people to u he city and advertises the town abroad Is the llrect result of some one person's Idea and " he work of many. H What we need in Columbia Is co-operation >y Columbians and faith In those Columbians vbo work. Tbe least the drones can do Is to u efrain from poisoning the honey. Those who b vork for the town should be given support. n n>a ??- - "i ? ~ u lio muiiiuuiiiB uuu iuo vuuuiuer 01 liom- ' Derce need and apprpciate the sustaining In- u luence of the people. And each Columbian bould consider himself a special "Committee if One" to Impress strangers. There Is something lor every Columbian to lo for the city, whether he be capitalist or of- Is Iclal In a dancing club. The opportualty for fu olng good will come; It Is only necessary to ,. ie Interested in the city's welfare to recognize he opportunity.

If the testimony of the witniss is linmaierlil, it was no fault of his that he was required o dar.ce attendance up~n a court which svculd refuse to pity the fldilit-r. In Abbeville the Judge who presided recently was. In our opinit n, a little bnrsh with Jie court < Ulcers tmd a little inconsiderate of he rights or leeliugs of tbe people of this omrauulty in refusing them the use of the Courtroom. The Judge l:ad a perfect right o make certain requirements of the officers is to the condition of the Court Houi-e during Lhe fitting of the Court, but we fail to see Therein he was warrantad In barring the peo)le out of their own house between terms for loldlDg Court. His action was In striking :onduct with the action of Judge Ktueh. vho, recognizing the situation promptly >U6pended the former Judge's order In favor >f our public school. The old Court Honse is out of date, any. low, and might well be sold. A new uud letter Court House Is what the people of Abbeville Connty should have. It might be iltuatea outside the pnblic square. With the noney which the old house, InculdlDg the >lank shutters, would bring, supplemented >y a small tax, a bouse' worthy of this >eople could be bought. Farmer* Warehouse. Leading farmers In al! parts of the cotton >elt have been urging the buiidine of warelouses at all the central places in which to tore cotton. There has been some talis of luildlnganew warehouse at Abbeville, and t seems probable that our people may organze a second company and subscribe for the equlred amount of stock. It has b en said hat since the erection of elevators in the vest for the storing of corn, the price o! orn has been more equal throughout the 'ear. By putting grain in elevators the corn armerscan take their receipts to the banks ,nd draw money on it. This keeps the corn iut of market until there is a demand for it ,t a fair price. If the rule works well for the :orn planters, why may It not work well for he cotton planters ? Let the facts be as they nay, there seems to be a general disposition 0 store cotton, and this disposition creates a lemand for more ware house room which will ikely be supplied. The Southern a few <iays ago sent one of heir men to Investigate the lay of the land ibout the Abbeville depot, aDd to be Informed as to the prospects of a new warehouse, 'he gentleman who came reported the loatlon a good one, and he said that be wonld ecommend that the company furnish all leeded sidetrack for a new warehouse. Vlth a good lot and track accommodation, 1 would seem that nothing shall stand in he way of lurnlshlng additional warehouse ccommodatlons. 'reshlcut I,lien* Wins on the First Round. In the content for the contract of the LauensUotlon Mill we think nearly everybody xgiad that President Lucas still has a flgbtug chance against S. M. Mlllikln, the selling gent, who desires to oust Mr. Lucas. We believe the facts are about In this way. S. M. Mlllikln Is the selling agent for the iroduct of tbe Mill. Mr. Lucas Is tbe President of the Laurens alll. Lucas objected to paylDg Mllllkln four >er cent, when Stevenson would do the same ervlce for two per cent. Mllllkln and Lucas speed to settle their inferences by Lucas paying all Indebtedness md paying Mllllkln 8150 a share for 500 shares if the stock of tbe Laurens mill. Lucas paid the lnnebtedness of tbe Orangeturg mill, and made arrangements to pay or MUllkln's slock. Instead of sending his stock to a Greenville laofc to receive payment, Mllllkln buys tber stock until he has a majority of the lock, andcomes to Lnurens to gobble up the nlll. ^ Lucas served an Injunction Issued by unge Klugh restraining blm from voting he stock which be bad agreed to sell. MUlikln lelt the ineetlDg, and it Is known> low matters may Anally end. Lucas Is one of tbe most successful mill aen in the State, and his only offence to lllilkln rested In bis fidelity to the interest f the stockholders, and opposition to hl6 xcesslve charges. Acreage. There has been much discumlon as to the eduction of the cotton acreage, with varying pinions. At this writing, tbe acreage of rass is receiving the energetic, if not the rayerful attention of cotton planters. It Ik dmitted that we made a bum per crop of cotsnlastyear. Unless Indications are disapolntlng, we will have a bumper crop of hay ext fall. The fact is, the western hay raleer lay have to take up a bat collection If our atterlng prospect for a hay crop is realized. It Is said that labor canuot be had to kill tie grass now In the cotton and It Is barely osslble that cotton farmers may have to go 3 work themselves, or else incur the expense f buying hay rak-s before tbe Dext frost ills. After Twenty Years. Some of our people may remember Master >aule! J. Jordan, a youth who twenty years go was well remembered at the Press and ianner office and other places In town, came ack to Abbeville last week,a full grown man a the active pursuit of life, money and haplness. lie Is now selling typewriters, and is success has been equalled only by his lerlls. He, not so long ago. married oneof the pretlest as well as one of the best of the Georgia iris. They are keeping house in Savannah, rhere live two of the happiest people on arth. Mr. Jordan says tne place has grown so mch that he hardly knew his favorite aunts. May he live long and come again. Pickens Votes out the I>i*peiiK?i\y.
