I Press and Banner. ! Wednesday, June 13,1877. Public Debate. Tho Jackson Literary Society gavel heir third public annual debate tn the ourt House on Monday niirht last before j n appreciative audienee of our best peo-| lo. The young gentlemen, as clear! Ilhinkers and easy speak rs, acquitted! Bhemselves with much credit. The: Irray of arguments being so nearly o<| u:il In force that it was with difficulty that nany of the audience were able to detided which presented the strongest joints. E. Not>le, jr., Esq., was Chair-: nan of the meeting, and after some ap- | liropriate remarks, he introduced Mr. J. IT. Jones, the first orator of the evening, Ivhen the sharp encounter commenced. The question discussed was?"Is Timej preater as a Destroyer or as Improver?"; p MR. .TOS1I l" A Y. .TONUS led the van on the side of the affirmative, pie is a good writer and a ready speaker, I hud is never at a loss for something to say. pie can make a speech or court his ladv-; hove with grace and gallantry. On thisi occasion he said: I If he had been allowed to consult! Bus own wishes and iiu-liitations he would! 5je a listener and voter instead of an aet-j or; that two speakers had withdrawn,' and at the eleventh hour he came in; simply to fill up the side; he would al-j low those who had prepared themselves to argue the question to iro forward. He; simply argued in general terms, and merely "harked" the subject, without! giving his opponents a chan.-e to strike at; him. His argument was confined to the; rlovtrovinir effects of time unoii the ani-! I final, vegetable and mineral kingdom ; I [said one ol' the commonest errors was to [regard time as an agent when in reality it was nothing and could accomplish nothing; that we used it as a general term or compendium* expression to denote those active causes and agent* which act slowly and hnpcrceptablv npon the ma-1 terial world ; that if there were 110 active1 causes and agents at work there would l?el no change in the world (luring a tJnm-j sand years. lie spoke of the destroying; effects of time upon man, the noblest of (ioil's creatures ; that the most heautifull form, the smoothest skin, the sweetest j voire, the noblest intellect, must all ere] long succumb to the destroying encroach-: ments of time. Ancient Kgypt. (ireeee! and Koine, once the home of science, literature and art. had been destroyetfby j the revolving wheels of time, thatl (ireeee, the bright luminary of learning, the dwelling place of pocls. philosophers and st itesni.Mi. with her mvriads of cit-, it's, h:;r gorgeous temples :ut< 1 statelyj columns lt.it 1 been destroyed by thy i*t? niorscless action of time: tIi:it Koine, j mighty Home, once t!j? pr?>ud mistress oi" a subjugated w.nld, was no more; thalj lior inajjniticoist her <;iK*:i'Ii<i tem-j pies, her great men. the greatest tliat has ever graced the world. had all hi.'en I crushed by the remorseless wheels <?1"! time, lie sail! when we glance back in-1 t > the a^'i's oC the past, roll !u k the bil-t; l iwy tide of time, unfold the mouldering! reeoI'd of ages and I here read the (le-i stroying cQ'eets of itwi", I ha! the conclu-! ' ,??ion wa< irresistibly fined upon us, I that nothing in the animate or inanimate j creation could successfully resist the de- > stroying encroachments of time. KI.LIS U. GU.YYDO.N, Ksy., .i next followed, who had a well written speech o;i the negulive side of the one - tiou. Mr. Graydmi is a promising young i lawyer, a good logician, and a forcible! and etl'eetive speaker, lie s];oko snli-i | substantially as follows: j1 All things urc divided mi ' material and the iiuiuHteriaJ. '1 inn; may crumble , the monuments of human greatness, may destroy the forms of materia! objects, may resolve the m into their constituent'] atoms, but it is in accordance with the teachings of philosophy that not a single I atom which ha; been called info being by thw Jiit ol' the Croat or can ever be destroy-1! ed by time. If on the other hand \ve| iook at tiit? immaterial, we shall see thatl time operates upon it only as an improver.! ] Take lor instance, mind in the abstract, ( human reason ami we shall see that time has stividily improved ii l?y teaching it to ] adopt everything of good and to sltuu[( the errors, mistakes and follies of the : part. Look, too, at the effect of human ! reason upon the civilization, that is thoj moral, intellectual, and physical iin-ij provemont of the world. X<< one will | deny that the improvement in morals, ast, well as in literature, science, and art, lias | been very marked and decided. This is more particularly noticca'ole in what wel, denominate the useful sciences. No one will contend that the telegraph, the rail-j road and the steamboat arc an improvement upon the post-horses, stage coaches and sailing vessels of former days.}; These improvements are tiie direct in-j , 11 uenyo of time, acting as it does upon ' hum m re is m. Tim;eann?t affect im- J material things except as an improver, J, and can only destroy the forms of material objects, but can not destroy their sub-1, MA.T. T. M. (JAMMIIX |' was next introduced, and ho went to!\ work with a will t<> refute the arguments j1 which Mr. (Jntyden had presented. The ' Major is a Little Giant, ami indulged in some humor as well as solid argument. 11 We thought ho was going to tear up , < what little ground ho seemed disposed toj j leave for Mr. C'ason to stand on. i ] lie contended that there is nothing in ! t the world that can ntaud the ravages of, time; neither is there any finite power in ' | t!ie universe of (.Jod tiiat can he preserved | from these ravages. All the glory and | grandeur of the world must yield to the!] victorious tooth of time. .Time, like' y death, is an impartial conqueror. Tim it civilization of tlic Jews, the* ancient | ( Greeks, and the llomaiK, lets all been! swept away by the steady onward inarch1 of time, and consigned foiever in ti.e mausoleum of ages. Tine' of itself can j work no changes, but is only the period j in which man and the natural elements]; operate. These aireneies. man ami tlw. elements are greater as destn?yers than ) us improvers. Therefore, time thus con- , sidered, is greater as a destroyer than as ( an improver. Philosophers say that , nothing i- destroyed, Imt only changerl j into something else. Thistlieory may he! i true, hut material substances are des-j. troved to all practical purposes, and in i this light we intend to discuss the (pies- j | tion. Civilization lias only changed, ground The places once occupied by:; the grand old palaces and temples, the* monuments of arts and genius, are now occupied by a few mud hovels, who in; morality and learning are far below the ! Indian in his native state of civilization, i and we are now sending the <?ospcl to the same nations who sent it to us in the ear-! lv centuries. SAMUEL C. CASO.V, ESQ., now came upon the stage as the last ora-1 tor of the evening, and after replying to j some of the Major's witticisms he pre-j sented the negative side of the question I with a clearness of thought and enthusiastic earnestness which was entcrt:ii?ii?ir>-: ami convincing. He said: That the creative power was greater than the destructive. This is a proposi- | tion that needs no proof?it is an axiom. ' Kvery improvement of time was a crca- I tion ; a development that was superior to j that force which was necessary to its i destrtueion. That only the material j things were destroyed. In truth nothing is destroyed. It is the philosophical view of tins subject that the atlirmative I arc so much opposed to. It is a sharp' sword, piercing even to the dividiuirj asunder of the sophistry and argument of, the speeches of the atlirmative. Is it the i material things of the world that consti-j tute its greatness ? Is it the collossal col- j nmns and magnificent temples? rather, I is it not the works of the mind that present themselvesand claim superiority over I every thing material? Matter is nothing when compared with the mind. The, works of the ^reat minds have not been destroyed. They have come down to us j tnrougn me ages, enaiienging the great i iconoclast timo to destroy thein or to; break their j>orfect image, ami have* re-1 ceived the impress of the nineteenth: century. As to the general improvements of tirno. The discoveries in the useful * sciences are marked and of great henelit to the world. vVlio doubts the usefulness of ihe power of steam? Wo need but to mention them. See the man of our time,! walking alongside the Hashing lightning! I that plays along the e lge of .Tehoval pavilion, discovering the mysteries ai I elements of electricity, and then '1 hold t'i great purpose; ii subserves. T i'eelini' 'patriotism and heroism arc true as ever. We need not 1 o< tot' i and the Roman phulan nor ' it' < >M <iii ird, beneath o own ?..<n ?.,o we heboid them. We s them wiln a full knowledge of a <!re eternity !>elore their possessor; tl makes them superior. Yes we s them in a cause that now li *' buried, deep hidden beneath stream of heroes, blood." The allirin tive speak of the magnificent temples < J reeve, what temple have we reared their stead? The mystic and magnilice temple of womanhood, which has for i chief corner stone not a massive ston but virtue, and the goddesses that tend i vestal altar, are purity and modest We shall worship at tiiis temple. Ai now in conclusion one argument iu lav of the negative is incontrovertible vi: The onward march of the true religio It is a truth that sinks deep down in the human heart. It is a truth that w stand upon the very grave of tiinecrvii where now is thy victory 0 time ai thy destroying power? and not route with this triumph, will arch its sniokii battlement and "break upon the sple: dors of eternity." \t iiu. /./.<>,.ltiwimi f?t* (vn-li snoech. tl orator was tlio recipient of beautiful b quets front charmingyoung ladies.

Thinking that a sketch 1 h of the incidents of our travels might not c 1(, | bo devoid of interest to some of yourL l( i readers, we beg forbearance in a brief re-i j a j view. I ' Alter leaving Abbeville, the home of j1 v our birth, ami justly termed the "banner L ] county," whose skies are as blue, and air i j J as pure, whose maidens are as lair, and j i j matrons as fussy, as any section over j' which our observation lias extended, we j stopped a few days to enjoy the hospilali- t j" ties of the village of \Viiliainston. Its educational and moral advantages, and \ l" especially its healthy locatiom merits f' that reputation whiolfshe richly enjoys, and justly entitle her to the patronage of both the man of pleasure and the wast- 1 ie ing invalid. The eelelmlted mineral . 11 spring which is a panacia l'or many disn eases, is a popular resort during thosum> mer season. Of its healing properties for : y dyspeptic and crusty old bachelors, we d I can speak from ex])erience, and can v I - I it I.i.rl.lt- i.. H,? 1.1<> > sidoration of all similarly atllictcd.

I Williamston also enjoys the advantages a ef a iirst class institute* under the mail agement of Prof. W, L. Miller, who re- * 0 fleets credit upon his "Alma Mater," Ers- S * kiue College. We predict for him a bright future in the field of letters. l' The moral and religious advantages of < ' the village are none the less notable. " Three churches are represented within its Cl ? limits, while weekly prayer-meetings are [held, regardless of sectarian principles. ' Kidding adieu to tiiis pleasant village, j\ with all its happy associations, wo next j j f directed our tour to the , MOUNTAIN CITY. The first to welcome our arrival was 1 Col.

While [, the Colonel gained for himself lasting J laurels in the political arena, his success ^ as hotel proprietor is none the less coin- b mendaliie, and we do not hesitate to pro- 11 noutice tiie (ireenville Hotel one of the i' i best kept houses, with the most suniptu- 11 1 ous tables, we have seen in the} South. May his shadow never grow less. s We were particularly impressed with tlio great spirit of improvement which ~ I seems to be a mania in the city. Fifty 1 - j houses are now being erected. Green- J > ville has also found out that the great!-. - need of the South is factories, and lhat|J the secret of success lies in utilizing the: powers of nature. e The <ireenville ami Columbia Railroad J t depot is now linked will) the Air Line bv j ;; a street railway. Kllbrts are also being , l' made to locate Air Line workshops in J -i this city, which will import a large nuni- ' J her of machinists and much capital, n.

Along the J' route nothing presented itself for consideration except the sublimity of mountain T J scenery, of which wo shall speak in our a , next. * Tor just. The cable dispatches give the usual ! * weekly summary of the military situa- T Jition in' Ktirope and Asia, by which it ap- J' ?I pears that ihe Russians are advancing [, j steadily on Erzcroum, and that tlie cross' ing of the Danube cannot, for sanitary (. t i reasons, if for no other, be delayed much T' longer.
