On tbe morrow, all over this broad land, tbe bum of business will cease, and people of all classes and conditions will observe tbe day ofN&tloual Thanksgiving. Some will bunt and some will ride, all will dress In tbelr holiday clothes and a few will attend public worship. By the order of the President, by the order of tbe Governors, the eyes of the peopl6 are dlreoted to the Giver of all good gifts. Whatever Individual Instances of poverty aDd mis ery may Here ana mere Diigni iue mir pro?pect, as a whole, the people have prospered. Individual failures or sucoesses are as the drops of water that rise or slDk In the passing current. Even where the wolf has been dangerously near the door one may console himself with the philosophy of "Mrs. Wlggs" that "It might have been worse." In the homes of the rich the arlstooratlo turkey will grace the table, Remus will perhaps have a "possum," while common old cufFy will revel In the enjoyment of a rabbit or nothing. It is not then that all alike have the good things of this llle.ln the same degree, or which to be thankful, but that the wants of all are adapted to their varied circumstances, and they are satisfied. With the coming of the harvest time man looks Instinctively to the Giver of the harvest. When the leayes have come and gont; when the deep yellow of the golden rod has laded; "When the frost Is on the pumpkin, and the corn Is In the Bhock;" the feeling creeps over us that another year Is dying. While It has shortened the way, It has blent us with Its fruits. And when man listens to the monotone of life, not in himself, but In the other fellow, should he not find reason to be thankful for a successful unclouded step toward the end, as much as for the means to sustain while on the Journey. The original Idea of a day of Thanksgiving was a day of thankful praise and worship. This we believe Is dill the correct idea. But If some are not inclined to the worship of oreedes and cerensonles they can thank the Creator and Giver In the solltade of the soul. They can look through nature and nature's gifts to nature's God. Then let us all be thankful, Home Prints. Various of the brethren of late nave bad something to say about the desirability of allat-home printed papers. Of course It is as each man sees to hlB advantage which plan be uses. The Press and Banner, we believe, was about the second paper In this State to aaopt me patent prims, uuu wo umo well pleated with the plan for nearly thirty yearn. In 1866 this editor started a paper In Washington, Ga., which he called the Washington Gazette. Tbe first and fourth pages of the Gazette were printed In Abbeville, and sent over |o Washington by a stage which P. S. Rutledge rnn lrom Abbeville to Washington. That arrangement was continued until tbe sale of tbe paper, and was satisfactory. That was our first experience wltb a paper partly printed away from home. Without turning to the files, our recollection 1b that we adopted the patent outside plan in 1878, and afterward changed to tbe patent Inside. We have no; quarrel with anybody as to the method of printing a newspaper, and we have no good advice to give to anybody. We can only say tbat the cc-operative plan of printing a newspaper bas been abundantlj satisfactory to this office. If we were talking on the newspaper business we would suggest tbat smaller type and fewer leads be used at.tbe home office. When the average type Is leaded ;from twenty to twenty-five per cent, of the paper Is wasted. Tbe dlflerence In the cost of setting type solid or leaded Is nothing. But to throw away onefifth of the wblte paper la another matter. Objects to "Itebelllon." The Courier-Informant, Barlow, Fla., "enters Bolemn and vigorous protest against tbe following passage In Governor Broward's thanksgiving proclamation: 'Our forefathers staked all that life fbeld precious, and eveD life Itself In tbe fickle lottery of revolution and rebellion.' " While we think the Governor need: not to have entered upon disputed or doubtful ground In rnlng the' word "rebellion," yet we tblnfc "rebellion" is not a wron~ wora with which to designate the Confederate war It Is a much better word than "Confederacy." Confederacy is right enough, but the great objection to "Confederacy" lies In the fact that in ordinary usage the word means "a combination of two or more persons to commit an nnlawfal act." To object to the use of the word "rebellion' looks a little like going on the defensive, when in fact we need not do so. We rebelled> at what we thought a menace, and the South fought as gallant a fight as was ever fodght. As far as this newspaper Is concerned, we do not object to the word 'rebellion." In the war we used the "rebel yeli" lor good purpose, and "Johnny Reb" never failed to do bis duty. We would not go backon "Johnny Reb," and we are not ashamed of the "rebel yell." This editor Is proud of having been a "rebel," but he would not give offense to those who object to the word "rebel.". We say "Confederate war," or call It by any other old name tbat may be more agreeable. We are not quarrelling with anybody. We are not finding fault with Governor Brown, but If we had been writing that Thanksgiving pr oolamatlon, we should not have referred to either revolutions or rebellions. Don't Like tbe Law. The blind tigers in Charleston don't seem to like tbe Cerey-Cothran law and propose to go into tbe courts to test its constitutionality. It was a great oversight In the Legislature in not consulting tbe illegal sellers of liquor before enacting a liquor law. . \ William Billy is.Willing. The newspapers are making tbe startling announcement.4 that William Billy Brjan would accept the nomination for President. AS uujy rt-uujuhlo jjib ^ibuuiui iu dull viioamstances,quite a uumberofSouthern Democrats wooid be glad to see him put up, and then other t Democrat8 are mean enough to entertain.the Idea that he will .be promptly knocked down. Fuuny {Advertisement. The editor of the Press and Banner being on the lookout for a bargain In "The New International Encyclopaedia," published by Dodd, Mead <fc Company sometimes runs hie eyes over the "For Bale" columns ol the want ads In our dally newspapers. Last Sunday's News and Courier didn't have exaotly what LIB WtlJJieu, LfuL it uiu uaic tun iuuuj "For ? Sale?Fncyclopaedla Brltannlca, Twenty-oue Volumes, wnti Guide, fall stieep bindlDg, never been used, or would trade lor a good aboi gun. W. I. Carrlngion, box 240, Georgetown, a. C." The Idea of any body giving a good 6bot gnn for a copy ol the Brltannlca 1b enough to make a borse.laugU. i r We are all Brlden and Grooms. The aecountB of the numerous weddings that appear iu the newspapers might lead the reader to believe that the last man and the last woman on earth bad been married? If be did not know of a certainty that many udmated hearts are still at large on this terrestrial ball. Notwithstanding the faot of the large numhor nf nrnttB hrlrlns anfl n.n Pnilftl number Of handsome grooms who have so recently been making vows of constanoy and love at Cupid's altar, It Is true that there are still many pretty girls and as many handsome and worthy young men who are still at large and out of wedlock. The little Aroher will yet no doubt send his darts to other hearts whlcb should love, cberisb and keep still other hearts In slckness and In health until the much dreaded gray-bearded old man comes along with his reaper. Young unmarried people are guests of the oommunlty until they are married, and then they are part of the community. When they are married they are of tbe realm and have taken their proper place In society. Tbe earlier they enter upon tbe prospective Joys of married life and good oltlzenshlp, the soonerttbey will assume tbe resultant responnihilities of the highest and the best life. Young people In early marriage are seldom unhappy. Their hearts and their minds are young and pliable, and when love rules they can eaBlly enough adjust themselves to each other. Even If they meet Jolts and Jars In the communion of a holy union the pleasures Incident thereto more .than counterbalance all else. It Is true that a mistake may be made In marriage, but such mistakes are rare; and then when they are made, they are seldom discovered by those most Interested. The neighbors may see It, but the husband and wife do not. And so the world moves on happily for them. But If anybody Is looking for a certainty on the subject of mistakes, let him look at those who have Journeyed far on life's way without being married. While It Is barely possible that a few married people may have made a mistake, It Is absolutely certain that every healthy person who stays single makes a mistake?a mistake that IB apparent to all. A 1 men and all women living In a Chris* tlan country and In the midst of our civilization should marry. The family is the fundatlon of our olvlllzatlon, and the Christian religion gives us the purity and the sweetness of the fireside. The man who waits until he makes money before marriage makes a mistake. Marry first and let the wife help. Loving hearts are more than coronets. $75 for Tamplco "Inatltoot" [ The Abbeville congregation of the Associate Reformed Cnurch has been called upon for one dollar per member with which to help build a ten thousand dollar school house In Tamplco, Mexico for Inarez "InstL toot" The appeal to this mission church is a strong one whloh the congregation cannot well afford to disregard. Because of the fact that the home mission board Is the larges1 contributor to the salary of the preaoher, the oongregatlon from fear. If not from prodigal Intention, Is almost obliged to submit to any oall from the hands of Synod. The Tamplco "lnstltoot" has sixty pupils, seven of whom are Protestants, while .fiftythree come from Cathollo famlllee. Dr. Nee I E. Pressley Is prlnolpal of this "In* stltoot", and two of our teachers are in the school, and three Mexicans are "assistants." A faculty of six to teach sixty pupils shows the comparative work white teacher's do In America and In Mexico. In this country teachers teach a much greater number of pupile, and their salaries are far below those in Mexico. , Tbe demand of A. R.P's. for a school house for the Tamplco "iDstitoot" Is reasonable. As we have fine school bouses for our own ohlldren, we ought to erect costly structures for tbe Mexican "lnstltoot." It would be unreasonable to; expeot tbe Mexicans to contribute anything for our "lnstltoot." The rule among all honorable schools and oolleges In this country Is not to attempt to proselyte any student. To attempt to proselyte a student would be a gross violation of tbe ethios of the educational system of this ^country, and would bring re. proacb and dlsoredlt upon any "lnstltoot," which disregarded tbe well established rule. Because of this faot It Is an act of benevolence on the part of this people to pay for tbe edncatlon of Catholics In Mexico, and for which generosity we have no doubt the Catholics are grateful. The existing rule Dy wLlob lbe home board pays to the salary of the mission churches Is a most excellent one. Then, by all means, let tbe Abbevflle mission cbnrcb give tbe required o76. The weakest and the poorest mission cburcbes nearly always are.the first (to respond to any demand for money. Iftbeydonot give quickly and folly tbe home board may not afterwards deal liberally In paying the pastor. Another good thing In connection with tbe bom e mission board is that it relieves preaob-1 er and people flom any anxiety or the necessl ty for any special effort on tbo part of eltber preacher or people to make tbe congregation self sustaining, If tbe borne board did not relleve tbe mission cbnrcbes of anxiety about tbe pastors salary, both pastor and people would bave to go to work to lengthen their cords and strengthen their stakes. Tbe Associate Reformed cborcb has the best and moit comfortable system on earth. By It nobody need work for the upbnlldlng of a oongregatlon.?Editor We Don't Know. The Anderson Dally Mall and Its correspondent, Mr. O. Gelsberg, are scnffllng over the question as to whether the sale of PanBma bonds and the treasury certificates will Increase tbe circulation. There are Bome tblDgs.whlch the Press and Banner does not understand. We don't understand tbe cause of tbe panlo. Wo don't know how It la to be remedied. We don't know the price ootton will command.

We wlsb somebody would build a railroad by Abbeville. And we wish somebody would wake up Abbeville to tbe necessity of doing something In tbe way of new enterprises. A new ootton mill would be worth much. i The Press and Banner has no adrloe to give Gov. Ansel on the subject of running for United States Senater. We Just don't know some things.
