Of saving aay buildings which may be

Which would hold thousands of gallons of
water, could be put up for $7">.00, and for j

prohibition Again.
A sxncia\!e Reformed P)%C4byterian.
In the Prsnoytciaii of last week, our
editorial asstocate, Dr. G., commented on
;he defeat <of the Prohibitory Law in
Korth Carolina As we are on the tripod
:his week, he, h*scalled our attention to
i communication in theJWw York Observer
of August 11, frcm a Kansas correspondent,
which reports the result as
much more satisfactory in that State,
l'he law has been in successful operation
iince the 1st of May. Beforo that time.
in anticipation ol a decision iroin uie auftreme
Court, it was not rigidly enforced.
The authority of that august tribunal
clearly sustains the law; and now "the
people of Kansas are fully determined it
ihull be enforced."
It is not strange that there should be
opposition to this law. Demetrius the;
silversmith, with the workman of like
weupation, was violently opposed to the
Apostle Paul, and tho new religion ; and
Ihe secret of the opposition is disclosed
in the following wo^s: "Sirs, ye know
that by this craft (making silver shrines
for Diana) we have *nr wealth." And
then, as if alarmed at! own candor, he
piously suggests "Lhift pot only this our
craft is in danger to blp8,t at naught, but
also that the temple ojf l-ie great goddess
Diana should be desni?Hl. and her magnificence
should be ueslr<\ved, whom all
Asia and the world won*hi;>peth." What
a pious man Demetrius \wa*!
It should occasion no .surprise, therefore,
if some conscientious bar keeper,
who worships at the shrine of Bacchus,
should put on a little pioi'9 indignation
?t the Prohibitory Law. "The thing that
hath been, it is that which flhaJI be; and
that which is done is that w'hic-h shall be
rlone; and there is no now tbi\ug under
the sun."
At the name time, we are willing to admit
that there are difficulties connected
with legislation as a remedy for this and
similar evils. The freedom of the press,
for instance, has been terribly Abused.
Morality ami religion, the institution of
marriage, the right of property, all that
is sacred and holy, has been assa.led from
this quarter. The book stov-e in B<>ston or
New York which publishes and circulates
Paine's "Aye of Reason" or In person's
"Lectures." may work incalculably
more mischief than any barroom in Kansas.
Why close the one, and leav? the
other open ? \
Dr. Johnson, as we learn from BorVell,
his biographer,after very mature relation
on this subject, (the" freedom of the
press,) arrived at the following eonc'n- 1
sion, that "every man has the right to h'a.v ,
what he pleased, and every other m;?n
had the right to knock him "down lor it."
This is about as far as we are prepared U>
go in support of prohibition. Everv cit'
izen in South Carolina hns the right UV
sell whiskey, but the State has the right!
to look him up for it; and we earnestly J
hope that she will exercise that right at
an early day!
The correspondent of the New York
Observer takes a very hopeful view of
the situation in Kansas, as may be learned
from the closing paragraph, which is
full of encouragement to the friends of
prohibition :
"When we see how short is the time
since the law went into effect, how strongly
entrenched it found the liquor interests,
how unscrnpulous tho opponents of
the law are in their eflfoits to put it down
what unlimited financial support they
have from abroad in their efforts, we
ought not to look upon the results thus
far attained as unsatisfactory. I apprehend
that no State in the Union can snow
record of so great success, in so short a
time, in enforcing so radical a lav?. Give
us a little time. Our citizens are not all
saints yet. When they are, you may
rightfully expect universal submission
to law as soon as it is announced."
P.
Prohibition of Fertilizers.
Senator McWhortor has introduced a
bill in the Georgia Senate making the
Importation of commercial fertilizers, or
their manufacture in Goorgia, an offence
punishable as a misdemeanor. The bill
bas excited a great deal of comment and
aroused a strong oppositon. The author
claims that between 170,000 and
175,000 tons of fertilizers will be used In
the crop of 1881, costing in round numbers
910,000,000, or 170,000 bales of cotton.
He claims that the continued use of the
fertilizers will not only bankrupt the farmers,
but that tho action of the chemicals
used in their manufacture "must
necessarily destroy the grasses of the
soil and thereby render it non-productive
within itself." The proposed bill is entirely
outside of the scop? of legitimate
legislation.
G1 oomy Forebodings.
THE PUBLIC BEGIN TO DESPAIR
OF THE PRESIDENT.
Ho has Something Like Lockjaw,
Coughs Continually, Chokes and Can-1
not Speak Above a Whisper?A Rumor
Yesterday that He was DeadTwo
Spells of Vomiting Admitted
by the Doctors.
[News and Courier.]
Washington, August 21.?The appro-1
hension that the President would not got i
[through his unlucky Sunday without an- I
other relapse has been unhappily verified.
There was an air of uneasiness in
the morning bulletin, which started
public anticipation anew, and the eonlentsoftho
report at midday were not
reassuring. They wore the subject of
general fpssip during the day, and the
oublic seoined to grasp by instinct what
it could not ascertain by facts. There
was considerable anxiety to see what the <
evening bulletin would have to say, and it
was hoped that more favorable indications
would appear. For a little while,
late in the afternonon, a rumor got abroad j1
that the President was dead. This was
occasioned by the reports of cannon at|j
the navy yard or distant thunder. It had!
been announced that minute guns would 11
lie fired in enso the President died, and i
in the remote parts of the city it was really j
believed for a time that tho dread end <
had coine. j
All those causes tended to excite tho
public mind anew, and an hour before the i
evening bulletin was issued a large crowd t
gatlierea in ironioi we u.wuiitu man- ,
sion at tho various places where tlie bulle
tins are usually displayed, and little knots
congregated on the sidewalk in the vicinity
of*tho treasury. When the report
was out the popular fear was found to be
only too well founded. Tho bulletin
showed that the President had vomited,
and that no more use can bo made of his
stomach at present. It fell on the public
like a cold shower balh. The greatest uneashless
prevails to-night over the startling
turn of affairs.
Tho doctors explain that the vomiting
isjnot from gastric disturbance, bnt
from tho constant accumulation of
phlegm in the throat. The phlegm arises
from the glandular swelling in the
neck. It makes very little difference, so
far as the patient is concerned, whether
he is debarred from food by reason of
phlegm or gastric disturbance. The fact
remains to-night that he cannot take any
more food in the natural way until the
cause is removed. I' Is said that the
President is constantly choking, and has
the hacking cough which characterizes
the last stages of consumption.
THCcase is iookcci upon u? umrv iiwutiate
to-night. It is evident that the doe- 1
tors think the same thing as they kept out
of tho way, and news cannot be obtained.
The glandular inflammation has stiffened
the muscles of the neck to such a degree
that the patient cannot open his mouth
more than halfnn inch and has something
like lockjaw. He coughscontinually and
complains of the phlegm choking him.
He cannot talk above a whisper. The
parotid ?lan J swelling defi-M t(?9 combined
efforts of the doctors. These are
the cold facts which must be borne in
mind by tho country iu summing up the
case.
Great depression prevails hero to-ni^ht.
The encouragement of Ihe doctors goes
for nothing. It is believed by ninoont of
every ten that tho case can have but one
result, and that renal t must come soon.
'0. P. H." on the Crops, tlie Lien Law,
and G'nano Dealers.
Editorti Pretx find Banner :
I learn from reports published in our
county journals that the agricultural outlook
around Duo West is flattering and
exceeds any appearance in tho country.
Gratifying" news, but, rather circumscribed.
I domicile in close proximity to
its suburbs, two miles distant, north
course, and I havo been trying to farm ever
since the "lost cause""and a more dis- a
tnayitig aspect for a crop never has pre- ]
seuted itself to my ocular observation. I ?;
sympathize with those that h?ve a more i
meagre prospect. W<* are consoled to i
know however, that our condition could a
be much wors?. n"ne copious and partial r
showers that Ircqiianted in and around ?
Duo West failed to reach my premises sit- ,
tinted upon a high dry ridge. At the out- r
start of the year I commenced operations j
with the resolute deter in inatinn to "make
or break" and I imagine the latter sequel
will bo effectually consummated to my
sorrow. My generous creditors are objects
of pity "but, I hope their resources
are inexhaustible aiul their hearts pulsating
with unbounded charity, especially
guano dealers, Month ago my prospective
realization of the bountiful fruit*
of my agricultural expenditures caused
emotions of gladness to pervade the inmost
parts of my bosom but the continuation
of the dearth of rain has substituted
feelings of a different type? melancholy,
depression of spirits. The question
naturally springs up, how am I to obtain
the "wherewith" to liquidate binding
obligations and retain a sullicieney to run
the "machine" anotheragricultural term.
Such a thought doubtless is taking possession
of every honest heart. The "lien
law" that is now undergoing the tiery ordeal
of discussiou and being acted upon
by denouncing resolutions, praying for
its abolition, will be more in need the incoming
year than heretofore. The trouble,
I am apprehensive, will bo, who can '
advance supplies and take liens. Likely
thn will hecrinnledso lnmelvas
uot lo have strength to rally and extend s
his usual generosity. I feel sure, if ho
should be able to run the credit sj'stem
again, that lie will not attempt it unless
securely fortified not only with alien but",
perhaps a mortgage of other property also.
IIis financial backbone is to be supported
or distortion will bo the result.
The "lion law" is not by any means
causing the drought to prevail. J still regard
it a necessary evil that cannot consistently
and abruptly be dispensed with
at a single stroke. Such a blow would l>e
seriously felt. Its death must be a slow
process under good treatment. Such a
law is not an evil itself but its abuse that
merits condemnation and a curse to the
welfare of the country. If a safeguard or (
fortification could be constructed (I think e
plausible) around it debarring the entrance
of extortion and exorbitancy, it 1
would be a source of much good. "Hard i
times" indeed aro approaching with ra- <.
piriitv. We have not yet sipped its bitter
sediments. Will creditors be so obdurate t
and uumerciful as to require the enact- g
ment of a stay law ? Will such a provis- ]
ion afford the desired relief? Such a law
might be of service, but we want some- *]
thing more nourishing and substantial, t
The question arises when are we going to \
get it? Your solution of our dilemma
uopiiin to be sow larcelvof turnips, bar- n
ley, red oats, Ac. Tbev are great ausil- {
inries and worthy of securing, if possible, t
Tbo tiino for sowing these seeds is bore,
and rapidly passiug away but the rain it ]
needed. Can you suggest from your re- J
f?lete agricultural repository a contrivance
?y which wo (ran raise these collateral ad- f
juncts without the mollifying influence of ]
rain. Irrigation is not expedient to resort
to for our uplands and I don't think f
the Medium's patent modest method of i
obtaining moisture would give the desired
need. Your frequent repeated iunuendoB (
as to the farmer's duty, in part, will go $
unheeded until the soil*is sufficiently sat- (
urated with water to admit plowing. You
seem to know how to "preach" agricul- ]
ture but "practice" is out of your lino of ]
business. Judgment apparently is upon
us and starvation in its haggard visage <
staring us glaringly in the face. If there ]
never was a time demanding warm mutual
charity it has dawned upon us now. ]
It behooves every debtor to practice econ- t
oiny to its fullest extent and strain every j
nerve to meat his obligations as approximately
as possiblo. It is equally incum- (
bent upon the creditor*) to manifest chari- ]
tyand indulgence profusely. Let him
abridge his profits strictly in accordance ]
with tbo good old maxim "live and let <
live." The paramount question that is
mostly harped upon by tho farmers, is, ]
bow are we go'ng to pay our guano bills. {
Much thought is expended upon it and
the natural oncluslon deducted from the |
premises is, it can't be paid out of this j
vear's crop. Great relief is needed here.
Cannot the guano corporations make a ]
sacrifice? Doubtless heretofore they have |
realized handsome profits, built up fortui'os,

MR. WILSON'S ADDRESS.
Wliat Sonic of the Newspapers Saj
Ahont it.
The Country Press is the subject o
the address delivered by Mr. Hugh Wilson
of the Abbeville Press anil Banner, al
the last session of the 8tate Tress Association.
The address Is practical and sensible.
A few points discussed aro : 1. A
newspaper should be made worthy o
support; 2. The newspaper should pa\
special attention to local news; 3. Editors
should not descend to the use o
vile epithets of offensive language evei
towards a political opponent. Heshouk
maintain hisopinions with all the liability
lie possesses, but at the same time wit
diimitv and deeencv: 4. In giving r<
f>nrt-s of meetings or otlior occurrence*
et the editor give facts, and if lie wishes
to make comments let hitn do so in a.separate
artldo ; 5. Editors should use the
best language?pure, and free from vulgarity,
puns, slang, or anything that
would tend to corrupt the puplic taste.
"To write poorly is to teach the use of improper
language, and is an odense against
our higher civilization 6. It is wrong
in an editor to use his columns for attacking
private character, should he permit
others to do this through his paper.
The official acts and conduct, however, of
public ofllccrs are proper subjects for
approval or censure, as the facts may
warrant; 7. An editor should not expect
nor accept free privileges at places
af public entertainment where other citizens
are required ;o pay ; 8. An editor
should neyer allow his paper to become
in "organ."
The address was delivered to and for
newpaper men, and contains many wise
uiggestions for their guidance. There
ire some points upon which we differ
with the author; but they are on matters
>f no interest to the publfc, and we wi31
not discuss them. Asa whole, the adIress
is excellent.?Newberry Herald.
The Country Press.?Wo have received
from Mr. Hugh Wilson, Jr., of Abloville,
a copy of the annual address deivered
by him before tilt South Carolina
State Press Association, at Beaufort on
Thursday evening. May 5, 1SS1. It isone
>f rare practical ability and good sense,
md every editor and publisher in the
State who did not hear Mr. Wilson read
t, should read it himself, as it contains'
many suggestions drawn from real experience,
supported by success in the inanigement
of a weekly country newspaper.

;he entire address will no dnnht cause

Thk Country Press.?Wo tender oar
;lianks to Mr. Hugh Wilson of the Abbenlle
Press and Banner for a copy of his
idmirable address before the State Pressj
Association at its last session on "The,
Country Press." The address is an able
me, and contains many valuable sugges,ions
about newspaper work. We heartiy
concur with him in his criticism of
hose newspaper men who attempt to live
ipon "cheek" and what may be called
harity. They hurriedly make up a paler
filled with advertisements and dead
natter, and then write long homilies up>n
the duty of the people to support the
oca! paper. We agree with Mr. Wilson
hat a newspaper should be made valuable
to the public and not rely solely upon
'cheek" and good will for itu existence.?

The FirstNkw Cotton.?Groenville's
first bale of cotton ol' this year's crop
were received yesterduv, were of excellent
quality and brought good prices.
The first bale from Pickens county was
sold by Mr. Lawrence M. Berry to the
Oamperdown Mills for eleven cents. It
svas classed good middling, and weighed
>20 pounds.
Mr. G. B. Thom&son, of Fairview
township, also brought in a bale
which weighed 422 pounds. It was
purchased by Mr. G. T. Willis, at
11J cents, and was the first of the season,
boing received two hours before Mr.
Berry's.
The first bale received hero last year
arrived on the 2Gof August, having been
dripped by Capt. \V. A. Moore of Cokesbury.
This was unusually early. The
first Pickens bale came from Mr. L. M.
Berry, and brought 104 cents. The first
Qreenville bales were from T. O. Charles,
and W. E. Gray, and brought 8 and
10| respectively. It will bo seen therefore
that prices start considerably better than
last year, although the crop prospect is
by no means as good, Perhaps the farmers
will be as well off after all.
Abbeville's first bale of cotton of this
year's crop was sold at Ninety-Six yes-'
terday, Mr. Quattlebaum bein>r the purchaser.
The price paid was 124 cents.
Read the article on the lien law which
we copy from the Abbeville Press andi
Banner. There are always two sides to
every question, and it is refreshing to
read some able reasoning on that which
has hitherto had so few champions. Wo
are inclined to think the abolition of the
lien law will not go far towards remedying
tho evils complained of by its opponents.
Indolence and drought cannot
but prove disastrous. It isnn open question
whether their baneful effects are exaggerated
by the Hen law,--Georgetown
Enquirer.
A Letter to the Teachers of the County.
J
r Editors rress and Banner:
It is generally recognized that the
j North is farahead of the South in al
most every enterprise and interest, q
t In my opinion it is due, in a large 1
measure, to the power of association. ?i
They have adopted the motto. "In ?
union there is strength," and in their c!
' minor interests as well as in their lar- {"
:er enterprise they have acted under
hib motto. Never at any previous k<
ime has there been such a demand
or associations of men of likeoccumtion
for purposes of common beneU.
We at the South are very slow in
I atching this spirit of progress. When A
weshall have made a vigorous demand
for associations in all the multifarious
industrics and vocations of the South
then may we hope to see a new and a
prosperous South. jtJj
There is no vocation in life where as
Ttociiition is more needed ami wnere n
would yield larger and bfitier results p
thai) in the teacher's vocation. Each ;m
of ns, however much we may prida Ft
ourselves on our past successes, needs U?
the aggregated experiences of all the
rest. We may have only one or two
defects in the management of our
school. In the nuituul enterchange of i
ideas and plans our defects may be ?
remedied. Fellow teachers let me ask M
can we afford to be defective in our
teaching, even in the minutest particular.
The engraver traces every "J"
line of his engraving wi'.n scrupulous in
care, and hour after hour he labors in
the most painstaking manner toavoid
even the slightest defect. He knows o
that every slip of nis chisel, every de- o
feet in his work will be reproduced in
every copy struck from that plate.
With how much greater care should
he guard against defects of any kind, r
who, as Lochesays, "engraves principles
in men's mind" and whose char- v
acter with its defects or its beauties V
will be reproduced in the lives of hun- mI
dreds of youths under his tuition, w.
Teachers who are earnest and honest
in their work need the mutual enter- B)|
change of successful plans and expe- ih<
riences. The best teacher In the coun- mm
" * ! 4l IIT?? Pn
tywinuerive uenem iro-.u meat; xja- (la
perience meetings," surely, then, the hei
worst and poorest of us will not liesi- ",l
tate to attend them. Not long ago I st
lieard a distinguished teacher, who
might be culled the Arnold of South
Carolina, say that he liked the energizing
influenceof these County Asso- r
ciations, that he always attended the u ^
with pleasureand profit, and that he
never, in his life, talked a half-hour
with any teacher and not get some- A
thing profitable in retutn. lVowletm? ?
come to the object of this short com- m
munication. The Teacher's Associa- It
tion of Abbeville County will hold its
meeting in Due West on the 8 and 9 If
of September. Let me urge the white JJl
teachers of the county, male and female,
young and old to attend this 11
meei.ing and we are sure they will be
greatly |)Jeased and profited. I be- Th
lievc that every teacher who attends w"
will return to his or her duties a better
teacher, a better citizen, and a firmer
believer in the responsibility and dig- N{
uity of the teacher's vocation. It is
our imperitive duty to attend, in spite
of any inconvenience. Duty is a reality
which rises infinitely above mere Pr(
convenience. If school trustees were
to take, as the measure of our worth By
in money, the amount of interest and
enthusiasm we manifest in Associa- ^
tious, Institutes and in the general tra
cause of education, some of us would N"
not have enough clear profit to buy a an(
cigar or a box of rouge. Does it not ?ai
seem reasonable that trustees should jj?'
thus estimate the worth of a teacher, d?,
For a school teacher to be ignorant of cat
the great lines of advance in the cause ^
of education, or to be ignorant of the q
existence, and practical workings of
the County Association it is infinitely
more shameful and disgraceful
than the ignorance of the hard work- P
ing farmer who came from a neighboring
county to our village a few days
ago and asked the news. Some one
told him that the President was worse _
and not expected to live. Said he
"who is the President and what is the
matter with him." i
Look at our programme and aee how I
practical and enviting it is. And be- ?
sides, Hugh S. Thompson, State 8u- -|-|
periutendent of Education is expec- Jj
ted. His reputation as an efficient un;
Superintendent and an enthusiastic
worker in the causc of Education is
not circumscribed by State limits
We have also o free and oft-hand dis- A
cussioti of many practical questions ?
whicli is ii8i:aliy very interesting and
profitable. My fellow-teachers there
is every teosoii to induce you to come
to Due West.
