The Press and Banner. Abbeville, S. C. Wednesday, Nov. 10, 1875.! THE PARISIAN' DETECTIVE. All Should Koiul This Highly Interest- j ing Story. Remember that we will commence the (publication of an excellent serial 'story in a week or two. We are only Waiting for a few more new names. We want all to commence with the first chapter. We publish stories which in j book form would cost more than the, subscription price of the Press and Ban-1 ncr. The "Parisian Detective" will i run through some fifteen or sixteen papers* It is an elegantly written story, and well worth auybody's reading. Stories impart a taste for reading, ami to some extent tnc reauers acquire mei taste and refinement of the characters delineated in the story. It is a chaste story, and we can recommend it to all for the highly interesting matter contained therein. LIFE INSURANCE. How it is Mana?cd--A New Dodge. The people should know why so many good men lately seem to have token so mueh interest in life insurance. The people in various parts of the State have sufFered so severely and bought their wisdom so dearly on this subject that they are, almost unanimously, giving: up all that they have paid, aud art' fully satisfied to seek other investments, and the companies are compelled to seek a new mode for bolstering ud this monstrous swindle. The companies generally employ the shrewdest and most persistent men for their agents and then thoroughly drill theui for their work, and tell them the most plausible means of securing their ends. The latest dodge, that we have heard of, is to organize a local board at each village or Court House towu of the most prominent men that can be begged into the -organization. They flatter each individual by telling him he is just the! man the Company w&nttf. They need 'liis influence, knowing him to he a substantial aud influential man, &c., <kc., and finally offer him as a remuneration for the use of his name a commission on certain policies, which will make bis own insurancecost bim but little. Aff "w hich they make some exceedingly liberal offers to insure tbe local editor, and then he, to remunerate tbem, wi'l in .some instances sound the praises of the ends to be accomplished by these well lAid schemes, instead of considering tbe interests of the country and sounding the alarm at the approach of these cormorants who prey upon the vitals, and who, like the vampire, drink up our very heart's blood. This same story of "blarney" is told by tbe agents until the desired number 1 of names are secured to organize a local ; board, and life insurance receives a new impetus, and they issue a circular show- ; x ing that our Southern people have alrwuiv lost millions in enrichinjr North ern companies, and then go on to give ' . the impression that the individual in- < surer may make it all back off a poor Southern* Company. 1 We do not assert (hat every hoard is i organised as above, but we do assert that such efforts lwve been made. .. i MR. JAMES EVAN'S. We Saved Him Forty DolIars?-Howj This Amount May Be Iuvested j, to Make Him Rieh. < Our friend, Mr. James Evans, whoh runs the Marshall Mill industriously j i night aud day, was in iowu on Saturday ' < ^ laat. He thanked us for what we had j i :said about well pumps, as it put him on 1 ^ his guard. He thinks he would have j 3 OOUgUl out! 11 11 IIUU IIOL wutrii nil n ||>U| I we had said about them. Ho is the sort j of a man to get rich. If he had not' been a reader of the Pre#* a/uf Banner, J. his forty dollars would soon bft goue, j and the well pumps would belying under the hduae, a constant reminder of { tlie worUnessness of well pumps. We j would say to him now, to invest all that moiiev in .seed barley,'and have hisj-^ 1 hand.-$o sow it in the richest land on 11 his place. This will furnish him green ' ( feed k>T every horse, mule, cow ?md calfj on his place, and in the Spring he can ;, gather, at a low estimate, twenty tiniest t the amount of seed sown, which will), readily bring a high price in cash. "We | ( are afraid to put <lown any figures to j show what forty dollars in seed barley jv would pay. It would seem fabulous. j| You may say that it takes rich land to i grow barley,?admitted. Can you grow 1 anything profitably without rich laud? ' If Mr. Evaus will sow barley with the ? fortv dollars saved in well numus. he i will be a rich man. * * < Convicts Could Finish tiik Tcn nel.?Let it be borne iu mind that the ( * couvieteof the State, quartered iu Co- ( lumbiaat a heavy expense to the tax payers of the State, could cut the Blue Jtidge Railroad tunnel, and thus save to . our people un immense amount of I money, and secure an inestimable bless- j . ingin the completion of that most im- : ports nt railway. If the tunnel was I finished, the work would soon be^ finished. We have the labor at our command to finish it, and we trust our Legislature i will so direct it. Mr. W. T. Mi lkokd, the polite clerk <if_Mr. Martin Erwiu, of Antreville, j was iu towu last week, and said that he never read a better paper thau the Abbeville Press and Banner. He complained about the timidity of the young ladies j of Antreville, in not proposing.

So says Wosmansky. t Judge Mil, ford is making altyt&ticms 1 in bis house, and Mr. Wosmuusky's family, who have been living with him I over a year, have to leave the lower department and move up-stairs. We don't know what all this renovation means, but think that the Jud^e of Probate wants to make somebody happy. We asked Mr. Wosmansky about it, but he doesn't know exactly who it is. Mr. Pick Mii-forp, wuen he was in Arkansas, crossed swamps fifty miles Jong, knee deep in water, in one day, and iiad three chills on the way. When the chills were on him he lay in the panels of the fence on planks which were put there for the accommodation *0* of men in his condition. So he says. iiiB KEKUKiiA'jioA. ? ?unoay, me 31st day of October, was the 358th anniversary of the Festival of the Reformation, which dates from the day on which Luther nailed upon the church door at Wittenberg the ninety-five theses against the sale of indulgences. Last week Mrs. Wosm'ansky went out to Rev. C. D. Mann's, five miles from the village, aud on Saturday Mr. "\V. went with his buggy for her, and missed the road, arriving at Calhoun's Mills before he was aware that he was off the road. Now is the time to set out shade, ornomental, and fruit trees. A little money and labor In this direction is a pleasure to a man all the days of his jife, and a pleasure to his children when be is mouidering in the ground. Miss Mamie Partlow, of Anderson, took tne premium at the Fair as the ' l beat cook. Maj. Gritflu, of Ninety-Six, was one of the judges who awarded this \ premium. The Greenville News says our poor old shadows that pull old wagons to town, "eat bcught corn.*' That will be pev? to men in these parts. Burning of Gin Houses. The Savannah News estimates tlia "from the 1st of September, 1874, to th 1st of September, 1875, ninety-eigh gin houses were burned in Georgia, am of these, three-fourths were destroyer by the torch of the incendiary. It i probable?nay, it is certain?that sever al gin houses were burned in section too remote for the fact to be chronicle* i 11 the newsnaners. and we niav there X ?* ? v fore safely assume that during the cottoi j'ear just closed, at least one hundrei gin houses were burned. Thus far, fron the first of September to the 3Uth o October, inst., we have chronicled th burning of fifteen, a majority of then during the past ten days." We suppose that.South Carolina coul< show as bad a record, and that Abbevilli will take rank among the chief mourn ers. Last week we announced three in eendiary acts occurring within ou County, and scarcely a week passes bu that we are called upon to chronicli similar cases. The evil is almost iutol eruble, and demands the most earnes ellbrts at prevention. The existing punishments are severe enough, but tin rronlilt. u iii tiiiHi 11 <r (mi i.ho iruilLv liar tics.

There are numerous causes, aside fron the atmosphere, to indicate that winteJ is hard by. Nature's sombre livery, as well as the almost lealiess branches, tell us to prepare for the ^>ia^>ts, the sleet-and the snows of hoary winter, for ii will soon be here, with all its rigorous train. In view of its near approach, il behooves householders to lay in theii supplies of fuel while they can do so and there is one other duty which de volves upon the whole community t< sen to; mat is, 10 sow jarge quauuur of barley and oats for our stock, liarley is the best green crop for feeding stock of all kinds. After that crop ba.? been exhausted the oats crop comes. Mr. Joseph Allen, of Greenville. In our notice of the Anderson Kail last week we unintentionally omitted to mention the presence of our friend Mr. Joseph Allen, of the firm of Alexander, Allen & McBce, of Greenville, who had on exhibition some of the finest leather and the best harness that wc have ever seen. Mr. Allen will be recognised as an Abbeville man. Many years ago when he was a boy, ami when we were a little fellow, we used to meet in the hall of the Sons of Temperance at Due West. Joe has kept his temperance pledge, and we have kept ours. He is now an active and substantial citizen of Greenvlile and is pari owner of that valuable tannery and harness manufactory in that city. He is growing rich, and is in high favoi nrif-l, flin ^4rou?viH? KllfPPSS lit tend him. "It makes its investments in the South that the South has the benefit of all funds r>:ud into it: and thus it serves, as far as its operations extend, to stop that drain o: wealth which has carried nearly ?1<H),000,0<N from the South for life insurance since tlit war, anfl to <rive us the full benefit, as * people, of our investment." We make the above extract from a circular of the Southern Life Insurance Company, published in the Aycwberry Frog rewire Age, which Company and business seem lo be endorsed by a number of the best business men in Newberry. They say that the Northern Companies have made since the war nearly a hundred million dollars off the poor Southern people, and now they think it time to enrich a Southern Company, and at the same time they urge jur people to insure as a matter of benslit to themselves. "We think the statement a contradiction. How the Insurance Companies can make a hundred million dollars, after paying agents, >lttce rents, advertising, <fcc.t and make t profitable to the insured, is more than ve can sec. This seems like eating four cake and putting it out at iuterest oo. Com ino.?The pump men have taken the >lace of stove and lightning rod men.

When i well is closely covered, the air and vater become impure, and impure waer ruins good health. Fresh air and the igitation of the air and water, are nee;ssary to have pure water.

Edwin A. 13oll.es, agent of be American Bible Society, preached in the Methodist church at Greenwood, last Sunday week, at 11 o'clock, after a*hick the Greenwood Auxiliary Bible Society was reorganized, with seventy members, with the following officers: Gr. M. Jordan, President; Peter McKellar and G. T. Telford, Vice-Presiients; James Bailey, Secretary and ^Treasurer. This Society was lirst organized in lso<>, and kept up active operations till within a few years past. The Way to Kf.kp From Giving a Lien.?Now that all the readers ol the Press and Banner have, or will have, i line lot of oats sowed, we would say, sow one aere more of ground for each tiorse or iuuie, in uarjey. ine oaney will come in early, and can be cut green and will keep your stock healthy, fat and sleek until your oats are cut. Barley is the best green food there is. A jushel of barley is worth a hundred dollars to any man with stock, if he sows that bushel on a rich acre of laud near his house. "Col. Peak expects Boon to roach the portion [of the Laurens, Railroad] where ihe T rail is used." fearr J ust w>, Mr. Herald. But who o! us poor ignorant people in Abbeville knew where the T rail is? If the Laurcnsville Jlcraki and the Newberry ficraia, uoii i UJl spcuiuug m riuuivs about the Laurens Railroad, we will net that the editors'angels don't get a free pass over that important railway. If the glory of a woman is in her capillary covering, the beauty of a town is in her shade trees.

Ol'R friend Mr. J. C. Bailey, of tin Greenville Enter pi inc and MounUiineo has been a long way in the country, and writes an interesting account of his trip. He is a widower, and on his return "chatted lor half an hour very pleasantlv" with a lady friend in tlu piazza. It's pleasant to be in the piazzi with one's sweetheart; eh, Baily? As the fall business opens, opportunities to make an*iudependent fortune, al little or no cost, come thick and fastsometimes as many as two or three tlx same day, but nothing is half so good 01 half so sure as a good patch of barley and a large held of oats.
