'V i ' m ? The Press and Banner.1 1 By Hnjyli Wilson and II. T? WardlftWi Wednesday, Sept. i, 1880. ; i The U. & C. It.

Hy tho schedule which wont into ' operation last Monday, passengers from , 1'harlvslon are landed in Atlanta at clcv- | en o'clock at night, after a run of only t seventeen hours?travelling about four ( hundred miles. Some two years ago it i wou'd hav'o reV|nired twenty-four hours , of constant travel io roach Greenville or > Seneca City, and then after laying overall J night, Atlanta would havo boon reached I.,.,?.imi'A tiiiiii lortv hours. , IUWUHIIIU.U.J ... Until redchtly, it took threo days for freight trains to go from Columbia to Greenvillo and return. They then camo as far as Ilodgesthe first day: the next day, they went to Greenville and returned to 1 Todges, and tho third day, they reaehod Columbia. Now they go from one end of the road to the other in day! light. -Formerly they had no accommodation for passengers on tho freight trains-. Now they aro provided for on these trains-. RouiUt trip tickets aro being , sold at reduced rates, and travel is there- j by encouraged. Every well wisher of the country must feel gratified at tins j great change for tho better, while he ( must oxi ovience a senso of prido at be- j ing placed in connection with tho great i highways of tho country. When wo rellect on tho past manage- 1 inent of tho South Carolina and the < Greenville and Columbia Kaiiroads in ' t'leir sj-stom of obstruction to the prosper- i ity of the country, and Charleston in particular, wo are .struck with amazement. Years ago Charleston spent thousands of dollars in licr efforts to connect that city Ity rail with the great West, and more recently Cincinnati spent twenty millions in building the Cincinnati Southern Railway towards our coast, and yet Charleston stood quietly by and saw the roads she had already spent so much to build, so badly managed as to bo of very little JxMielit to her, and no benefit at all to . Cincinnati. It is a great misfortune to this country that the Railroads had not boen put in tho hands of General Conner fifteen years ago. lie and Col; Fry seem to understand that it is best to put Charleston in connection with the outt?ldo world and by their atft of this week, we arc to-day enjoying equal advantages k ' with those living along the lino of the Air Lino Road. We have just received what wo should have received ten vears v ago?connection with the Air Line. Once J.oi/'.in-nrnnriniicoil tho benefits Of SUfh an arrangement wo bolicvo that \vo will , always enjoy it* 1 + The Work for Next Saletlay. J In another column wo present the Con- ; stit'ution of tho County Democratic club, , Iho'oM plan of conducting tho Primary election, and tho new plan, which Ellis G. Graydon Fsq., will submit to tho Convention. Tho suggestions of Mr. Gray- i don soom to us to bo a great improvement on tho old plan of conducting tho Primary elections. Wo would eowover propose a change in the day appointed for tho first election. Saturday the 9th it seems - to us would suit the farmers equally as . well as Monday, the 11th. By making the report of tho election on Tuesday, the full returns can be published in both the village newspaners, but if it is deferred tho subscribers to tho rrcs* and Banner will be put to unnecessary inconvenience. . Dr. Gary's resolution 10 in?K? an mo officers of tho County Club and tlio Prcsdontsof the local clubs ex-oflicio mein- 1 members of Convention, will be voted upon. J Some action will probably bo taken in reference to tlio proposed election of , Treasurer and Auditor. > " The question as to whether "single ] shot" votes will bo received at tho pri- 1 mary election will be considered. In ] some.of the counties if a man votes for only one or two County Commissioners' i that ballot would not bo counted for any- | ljody. Ttjesaincis the czso if ho does I .not vote a full tick'it for members of tho J Legislature. ( ?^i t -Yon advined us to be patient and try tlio Stock ^ la.*, and that after a fair trial wo woula be pleased t with it. Wo accepted your proposition and after c a lapao of eighteen months wo find ourselves in a ? worse condition than wo ootild possibly have im- J agined. Now, during the whole time you have J been prating about tho Stock law, you would have c the world believe that nino-tenths of the people of Abbeville county are in favor of it; that it has I savod tho county thousands of dollars, and that ' there has been no litigation. You ought to know J' that nino-tenths of the people of Abbeville county , are opposed to It, and we hope that you will allow j tin to iuform you that the pUbJid Unices cost over t five thousand dollars and that it vrill cost tlio t county thousands of dollars annually to keep it 1 up. iJesidos tho loss of more than two-thirds of * - ' . " tho stock, there havo been hundreds of cases of 1 * litigation and it is reasonable to supposo that P ? thousands of dollars have been lost in that way. s It has causcd bitter feelings between neighbors, j and has been the cause of blows and bloodshed ; s and lio doubt many children bavo died from want v of milk, the proper nourishment tn sickness. v You say that all the land is being brought into 1 cultivation. Don't you know that we are trying to cultivate twice the amount of land that we j, need; that with proper cultivation on one-half d we would make more than we do, and that with c all of our surplus laud turned out, and the cattle R with it, tho price of beef and mutton would be " nominal, and no one will deny that when provi- Jnions are cheap a oountry is prosperous. It was ,j urged by tho advocates of tho Stock law that it j f would save timber and lal>or in splitting rails, t Ti:no has proven that it will destroy the timber r and increase labor. Already persons are cutting | and belting promiscuously, when before the law wi s i ? passed it was too poor to" fence. The timo lost in , leading, driving, staking and herding cattle would s more than treble the time spent in keeping up the fence. Besides the lauds are rented or leased t to parties and they are willing and anxious to do * the fencing, and why should any landlord have J any care about a stock law. Our Legislature in 1878 passed a law submit- j tlii? tho fence question to tne people, wmcu pro- ( , vided that they could meet in any tfiwnship in i August or December of any year and vote upon t the subject. All the townships that could get the ' requisite number of petitioners, by fraud or otherwise, met in the first August au'd voted on it. 1 Tho result showed that nine-tenths of the people were opposed to the law. But in tho face of all the cotialty and our expressed wishes, precedents, jnstice and equality, our mis-Representatives in the General Assembly of 1878 passed the Stock law over our heads, notwithstanding tboy were frequently asked during the cauvtss how they stood on the fence law question and which was j, invariably answered by saying that it was a dead < issue. Now, would yon call this an honest government, and could yon support any man for an oftioe of honor or profit who favors such an unjust, uniquitouR ana tyrannical law. And now fellow-citizens can or will you subn.it i to such tyranny ? Many Citizens. : An Old Man Finds tlie bodies of Two Sons in a River. fsaureiw'ille Jlcruld. J On last Saturday evening an old black mnn Twined Henry Grler was Ashing In Little HI- j ver lust below the Newberry line, near Floyd's f bridge, when he discovered the dead body of a man In the water. He Immediately went i home and reported the fact to some of his friends, but It being then dark they did not no to the river until Sunday morning, when they proceeded to hook up the body to find 1 out who It was. when, horrible to state, they found another body in the same place? both 1 lie sons of the old man who had first discovered them. Mr. K. C. I-angston, the Coroner of Newberry County, was sent for, who summoned a.Jury anil held an inquest. The oldest of the two boys (about 21) had a bullet wound e In theleftbreastand oneln the back. Theoth- c ?r brother lirni onlv one wound Inflicted lust underthc right nipple and ranging towards In the heart. Dr. ration, who made the pout mor- 0 tem examination,gave it as his opinion that either of the won nds was necessarily fatal In addition to the bullet wounds the bodies were Weighted down by large rock* tied to them The Jury of Inquest stated that both the deceased "came to their death by bullet wounds inflicted by panics to thein unknown. There ^ . could not be. a particle of evidence. It seems, 1 roucht tip to point toany one as the murderer. Theie was no evidence to show thatthe , boys had had a difficulty with any one, and no one ran conjecture the cause of the tfairirty Nor can there be any political significance attached to the unA.riunate aflalr.as boih the boys arc said to have been very inoffensive, honorable iehows, Great indignaHou Is feJt J y !be people of the eommnnily where the tragedy occurred, by Jboth while and black.

Tabernacle Sermons. BY KEY. T. DcWITT TAL3LV.GE. Neither shall there be any moro pain.?ltertlatlon, xxl., i. At tho close of ft week of much suffering In New York and ISrooklyn, twenty-nine [icrit-hini; under the heat in one (by, and forty in another day, jml flfty In another day, and thousands of cases unreported save to the mothers, and the daughters, nnd the wives, who who reoelvmj the faint and exhausted ones at the door way, mm willie iihtu are many wuumiru m appaiiinc casualty, ami in tills inldsi'tmner Sabbath, July 11, while wo are assembled under severe atmospheric prefsure, I prcach'a sermon consolatory. Tlio first question that you ask when about to change yournvd<iiii.ee to any city Is, 'What lb tho healthof the place? Is It shaken of disorders? What are tlio bills of mortality ? W hat is the death r?te ? llow high rises the thermometer 1r" And am 1 not reasonable In askiig what are the salutary conditions of the heavenly city Into which we all hope to move ? My text answers it i by saying: "Neither sba'l there bo any more pain." i First, 1 remark, there will bo no pain of disappointment In heaven. If I could put tho picture of what y?U anticipated of life when you began it beside the picture of what you bave realized, 1 would find a great r difference. You have stumbled upon great disapi pointments. Perhaps you exported riches, ond you i have worked hard enough to gain thcui?you have planned and worried and persisted until your hands r were worn, and your bnin was racked, and your heart t fainted, and at the end of this long strife with misfori tune you llnd that If you havo not been positively de feated it has been a drawn battle, ItiasJIi tng and tussle?tills year losing what you had gained last, 11 nanclal uncertainties putting down faster than you build. For perhaps twenty or thirty years you havo been running your craft straight Into the teeth of tho wind. Perhaps you havo had domestic I disappointment. Your children, upon whose educatluti you lavished your hard-earned dollars, have not . turned out as you expected. Notwithi'unding all your counsels rind prayers and painstaking, they will i not do right Many ago .d father lias bud a bad boy. . Absalom trod on David's heart. That mother nover . imagined all this as, twenty or thirty years ago, she : aat by that child's cradle. Your llfo'has been a chapter of disappointments. Hut como with me and I will show you a different scene. By God's tfiilcu entering Iho other city, you will never again havo a , bl ist'd hope. Tho most jubilant, of expectations will not renoh the realization. Coming to the top of one liil of joy, there will be other heights rising upon the vi'ion. This song of transport will but lift yon to higher anthems. Tho sweetest choral but a prelude to more tremendous harmony. All things better than vou had anticipated. Tho robe richer. The crown brighter. The temple graudor. Ihe throng mightier. Further, I remirk there will be no pain of weariness. It Ib now twelve or thirteen hours since yon quit work, but many of you aro nnrested, some from overwork and some from dullnon ot trnde, the latter more exhausting than the former. Your ankles ache. Youi'.oplilis llag. You want rest. Are these wheels . Always tn turn i these shuttles to fly i th-bo axes .to , how? these shovels to delve 1 these pens to fly? these hooks to be posted? these goods to be sold! Ah! the great holiday approaches. No more curse of tasku asters. No wore stooping until the back aches, No more calculation until the brain is bewildered. No more pain. No more car|>entry, for the mansions are all bu|*t. No more masonry, for the wallsare all roar[ ed. No more diamond cutting, for the gems are nil , set. No more gold-beating, for the crow us are all , completed. No more agriculture, the harvests are spontaneous. | Further, there will be no more pain of poverty. It [ Is a hard thing to bo real poor?to havo your coat I wi-ar out, and no money to get another one; to have t yonr flour barrel empty, and nothing to buy bread with for your children; to live in an unhealthy row, and no means to change your hnbimtion ; to have your child sick frl'in some mysterious disease, and not be t able to secure eminent medical ability; to have son s and daughter begin the world, and you Dot have anyf thing to heip them In starting; with a mind capable 3 of research and high contemplation, to be perpetually s fixed on mere questions of livelihood. l'o<-t? try to throw a romance about the poor mau's cot, but there is j 110 romance about it Poverty Is hard, cruel and unrelenting. liut Lazarus waked up wltuout his rags and diseases, and so all of Christ's poor wake np at last without any of tbelr disadvantages. No alms houses, for they are all prince*. No rents to nay, for the residence It gratuitous. No garments to buy, for tho robes are divinely fashioned. No seats in chuich for poor folks, but equality among temple worshippers. No hovels. No hard crusts. No insullleirnt ^ apparel* "Thev shall hunger no more, nolther thirst " any more, neither shall tho sun light ou them, nor ? any heat." No more pain, ; J! anilT, mere wjii ue uu p;nn 01 parting, i?u it these associations must somo llino break up. Wo _ clai'ft hands nnd walk together: but w? must, after j r while, separate. Your grave will bo in one place, mine In another. We will look each other full In the : face for the last time. We will be sitting together . some evening, or walking together some day, and ._ nothing will 00 unusual in our appearance or our eon~m venation; but God knows It Is the last time,and ines[3 sengers from eternity on their errand to take us away i" know It Is the last tlinn, and in heaven, where tliov 5 make ready for our departing spirits, they know It fg the last time. Oh ! the long agony of earthly separat tlon. It is awfuL To stand in yonr nur^ory lighting Death back from the couch o! your child, and try to " hold fast the little one, and see all the time that ho Is " g< ttlng weaker, and the breath is shorter, and make outcry to God to help us. and to the doctors to save li I in, and we it Its no avail, ami tlion to know that his spirit Is gone, find that j oa have nothing left but the en?ket that he.d the jewel, and that In two or three n days you must even put that away, nnd walk arouml c about the b<>uge and find It desolate, sometimes feeling rebellious, and then to resolve on self-control, and ju t as yon hove come to what yon think la, perfect 1. te.f control, to suddenly coino upon some little sacqite n or picture, or shoe hull worn out, and have all the n i floods of the soul buret In a wild wail of agony. Oh I " my Ooil, Low hard It In to part, to closo oyea that norer can look merry at our comlrg, to kl-s thu hand i. thut will never agnin do us a kindness. I know rellgIon gives arrat consolation in such an hour, and we n ought to be comforted ; but anyhow and anyway you make It, It la awtul. On B>eam-boat wharf ami at s rail car window we may smile when we say farewell, 0 but tiieao good-byes, at the deathbed they Just tuke c hold of the heart" with Iron [ilnchors and tear It out by the roots until nil the llhrea'qulw and curl In the torture and drop thick blood, 'i heso separations are wlne-prisses Into which our hearts, like red clusters, are thrown, anil then trouble turns tho windlassround 1 und round until we are utterly crushed anil havo no tnoro capacity to aull'er, und we atop crying because ' we have wept all our tears. On every street, on every * door-step, by every couch there have been partings. " Hut one* past tho heavenly portals and you are 1 through with such scenes forever. In that land there -1* are many hond-olasplngs and embracing*, but only in '* recognition. That gr< at home circle never breaks. e Once find your comrades there, and you have them forever. "No crape tloats from the door of that blissful residence. All awako, wide awake and forever. No pushing out of emigrant ship lor foreign shore. S No tolling of bells as the funeral passes.

In 1S13 1 tile optbalnila seized the whole Prussian army. At times the earth has sweltered with suffering. Count up the pains of Austerlltz, where HO,000 fell; of Fontenoy, where 100,000 fell, of Chalons, where 800,1(00 fell; of Marius's light, where 290,000 fell ;fof the tragedy at Herat, when Genghis Khan massacreed 1,C<H>,000 men,and of Nlsher, where he slew 1,747,000 people ; of the 18,000,00u this monster sacrificed In fourteen years as he went forth to do us be declared, to exteiiulnatc tho entire Chinese nation and make tho empire a pasture for cattle. Think of tho death throes of the (500,000,000 men sacrificed in tho campaign of Xerxes. Think of the 120,CO0 that perished in the scige of Ostend; of 300,(h 0 dead at Acre : of 1,100,000 dead In the seige of Jerusalem ; of 1.816,000 of tb? dead at Troy, and then complete the review by considering the stupendous estimate of Kdmund Burke that tho loss by war had been tblrty-flvo tluvs , the entire then present population of the globe. Go through and examine the lacerations, the gunshot I fractures, the sabre wounds, the gashes of the battle, all the slain of bombshell and exploded mine and falling wall, and those destroyed undsr the gun-carriage > and tho hoof of the cavalry horse, the burning thirst, | the camp fevers, the frosts that shivered, tho tropical suns Hint amine. ana n uj>, gauier u iuio one une, comriroaB it Into ono word, spell It In one syllable, clank It in one chain, pour it out In one groan, distill It Into ono tear.

A deserter front Seb.'istnpol. coming over to the allies, pointed back to the fortress, and said : "That place Is a perfect hell." Our lexicographers, aware of the Immi-nse necessity of having plenty words to express the different shailei of trouble, have strewn over their pages such words as annoyance, distress, grief, bitterness, heartache, misery, twinge, pang, torero, affliction, anguish, tribulation, wretchedness, woe. 15ut 1 have a glad Bonnd for every sick room, for every life-long Invalid, fur every broken heart. "There shall bo no more pain.' Thank (iod 1 Thank God ! No malarias float in tho air. No bruised foot treads that street. No hectic flush. No ono can drink of that healthy fountain and keop faint-hearted or faint-headed. He whose foot touches that pavement becomes an athlete. Tho first kiss of that summer air will take tho wrinkles from the old mun's cheek. Amid the multitude of songsters, not one diseased throat. Tho flist flash of tho throne will scatter the darkness of thoso who were born blind. See, the lame man leaps as a hart, and tho dumb sing. From that bath of Infinite delight wcsha'.l step forth our weariness forgotten. Who are those radiant ones ?

No moro pain. Sure enough, hero i?

Here, too, are the Theban Legion, a groat host! of 6,660 put to the sword for Christ's sake. No ills-1 tortlon of their countcnance.
