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.

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. He
said when he was in Texas the young
ladies scared him by presenting a reof

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 '

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

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. Suitable rewards oflered by Lin
State Government would do much t<
correct the evil, which calls loudly lo
some such interposition.
The Scason-->Vhat wc Should Do.
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

"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

UrT And be sure that you don't let
hese stragglers put one of their pumps
n your well t-> spoil your water. 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. The best
a-ay 'to get both is by using the oldashioned

Kev. 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;

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

that the editors'angels don't get a free
