The Press and Banner, AUUEVILLE, S.C. 'Wednesday, Nov. 23, L1881. Dividing: ou Religions Principles. Tlit* colored people of this town seem to lie dividing 011 religious subjects. For a long time after the war these people in this town were united and worshipped as one congregation in apparent harmony and good feeling. During the years that have passed, they have built a large and splendid church, which, through tho united efforts of all the colored people, has been paid for. l?ut now they are re-1 dueing their theology to finer points: than formerly and, imitating their white neighbors, are giving perhaps more attention to doctrinal questions j than to the weightier matters of the i law, or to the vital principles of the religion they profess. The questions1 of baptism and predestination now es- j peeially agitate the minds of quite a number of the average colored brethren, who have in consequence felt impelled to withdraw from the numer-j otis and powerful congregation of Methodists, and to leave the elegant church, which "they have builded," , to establish little churches of their; own, where they can worship more in accordance with their own enlighten-! ed views on these questions. These, divisions will not result in much good. The new congregation will have a] hard struggle, attended with great ex-1 pense, to keep up their organizations,! while by their withdrawal they cripple the old organization. We have; heard but little of the particulars, but] a brother, who is supposed to be one of the leading spirits in one of the new colored organizations, said that tlie "Methodists were raising hell becausei he quit." Our colored brethren, like the whites, will find separate organi/a-: tions an expensive mode of sustaining their theological views upon non-essential matters which the ablest1 Iireachers of the world have been uua-i ile to solve.We all know the importance which Gabriel will attach to the mode of baptism and to the infinite principles! or doctrines of election. If a negro| should appear for admittance into thej holy city, when he had not ueen im-i mersed. but merely sprinkled,or if it; should be made clear to the Angel Ga-j hriel that he was indifferent or ignorant ns to the matter of election, he would be hustled from the Holy Pres-; ence in the twinkling of an eye. The moral law and all the articles of the decalogue may be disregarded, but this' matter of baptism and belief in elcc-j tion must be definite and specific in order that the soul of the negro may be saved from perdition. Abbeville Day at Atlanta. Quite a number of our citizens left last Monday for Atlanta, to take in the great Exposition. Through some ! cause, however, they failed to get the' passenger rates offered to clubs and} Lad to pay regular fare. Among those j who went we note : Messrs. 10. Xo-' ble, Jr., H. 11. Norwood, James A.| Norwood, Hugh Gibert, Thos. C. Per-j rin, \V. E. Bell, S. (?. Thomson, Thos. Thomson, liumett, Joshua Y. j Jones, Charles Pressley, J. L. Clark, Dawson Hilton, H. D. Reese, \Y. P.i "Wardlaw, T. M. Christian. o Dr. John A. Barker. We had a call last Monday from Dr. I John A. Barker, of Edgefield county, who formerly represented that county in the State Legislature, and is the authorof the bill chartering the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, and de-1 serves some of the honors of that institulLni. The Doctor is looking well, J hut seems to be in doubt as to the! stock law. We are surprised at a man j of his intelligence having any doubt | on the subject, especially after'he sees j how much the people of Abbeville county like it. ? <VV * Tire Court. As there seems to be sonne doubt as to the wgrk which is to be dime at the extra Court of General Scssiods on the: first Monday in December, it may be; hs well to state that as the grand jury ! lias beeu dismissed and cannot therefore attend Court as such, only those ?-*? s ? i - A ...:n 1-.. I ! criminal eases win uv inuw, <i vuuiu : be tried, in which true bills have al- i ready been found. No civil cases will j be tried. It is only a Court of General' fcjessious?a jail delivery Court. Change in the Auditor's OCteo. J Mr. It. E. Hill having resigned his, ftosition as assistant Auditor that place | nw been awarded to Mr. Thos. C. Per-! rin, who seems at home in his new situation, and we have no doubt that; his efficiency and urbanity will make j liim in every way a most acceptablei successor to his predecessor who has so long given universal satisfaction to both the public and the authorities in Columbia. <*> The Legislature. Our members left for Columbia on Monday, where the General Assembly met yesterday. ? ??? The sale of Judge Thomson's literary library took place at his late resi-J dence last Wednesday. There was a large attendance of purchasers, ami it was pleasant to see that the majority were young men who showed their liteiary tastes by bidding high for standard works. It was somewhat amusing to obeerve that some of the books sold at higher figures than the original j cost price when new?so eager was the | bidding. The library was large and j well selected. The sale of the law j books took place at the office of the! deceased on Thursday. Here again! the bidding was brisk. We learn that! the amount realized by the sale of boili libraries was nearly fifteen hundred dollars. Now that the barley and oats arc in the ground, our farmers are bending I every energy to the seeding of large areas in wheat. If our farmers will i onlv pxoi(!is<> the same forethought in bowing wheat that they Imve in sow- j ing oats ami barley, we will be- able to ! bridge over the next season much bet- j ter than we hail reason to expect somei time ago. Every farmer should sow twice as much wheat as he thinks hej will need. By doing this, even if the! crop is short the planter will have! enough for his own use, and if it hits! well, he will have some to sell. A Worthy Man Promoted.?Mr.! P. D. Mazyck, well known in Abbe-1 vilie as our former etlleient telegraph operator, lias been promoted to tlie po-j tiou of conductor on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, and is now on duty on the Abbeville Branch, in place of Mr. Smith who has been transferred to the Spartanburg and j Union Branch. While we are sorry | to lose so good a*man as Mr. Smith we ! are glad to have so worthy a successor.1 We regret having to devote so much | space to our local allairs, but the importance of the interests involved demanded it. ? Spartanburg Herald. And thus the Herald apologizes for making an extra good paper. If the llcratd would put in about ten times as much "local a flairs" as it usually does, it would be about ten times asdex sirable. A rural paper is valuable chiefly for its local news. Never since the world began has Abbeville county had so line a prospect as now for a large crop of small grain. Numbers of our farmers have sown the greater portion of their farms, and every one of them have good stands. The area in barley is five times as great as in any previous year. The two newspapers in Aiken publish all the official advertisements of " the county, each paper charging half price. That is right. The advertising in every county should be equally tL'luirii if ottti ItP ilnm* I Jim same cost of advertising in one only. No farmer should neglect to sow wheat. Flour will be lifteen dollars a barrel uext year on lien. A farmer can sow enough wheat to make many barrels for the cost of one Western barrel. Let the boj-s have the seed, and they will do the plowing. Laces.?Black Spanish lace, Valenciennes, point digon, point du cardinal, dentelle Caroline and byzantine lace. These are some of the latest styles in laces and our lady friends will And a splendid assortment at It. M. Haddon <fc Co. Special Notice. ? Just received black plush hats, black and colored Slush, shaded ribbons, shaded plumes, ;eruhart collars, shaded fringes. These goods are all new designs and very handsome, at li. M. Haddon <k Co. The South Carolina Press Association meets next May in Marion, and all the newspapers of the State are expected to be represented. The Star and the Merchant and Fanner will do all in their power to make it pleasant. Jewelry.?Just received a handsome lot of jewelry, new designs, at It. M. Haddon & Co. Messrs. Samuel Marshall and Foster Marshall, natives of Abbeville, I and sons of our former distinguished j fellow-citizen Hon..J. Foster Marshall, I were in town last week, after an ab- ' sence of eleven years. A i.ktticu received yesterday even-j (intr from I)r. Jennings, at Dennetts-! ' ville, gives intelligence that the infant son of I)r. Mc Bride of tliis place. who I has been quite ill of diphtheria, is now convalescent. Many a farmer will be disappointed this Kail. The late frost will enable scores of them to gather a bale to the horse, more than they would have done if the frost had come this year as early as usual. i Messrs. Geo. C. and T. II. Graves , paid their old home a visit. We are glad to state that these gentlemen are now prosperous planters at Beech Island. and are getting on swimmingly : in the world. Kelk.iiU's papers should proclaim for the cause they are supposed to espouse. To villifv or misrepresent whatever is not in" exact accord with their views is no part of the duly of a Christian. Some of the liver pad men have 1 humbugged the Baniirrff. Sentinel j out of an advertising hill. Tnese "foreign" advertising agencies used to cheat us, but they can't do it now. The demand for brick seems to be greater than ever before, and those ' wiiodid not emraire them long ago, are now beggi"?g their neighbors for the J loan of tiii-ir brick chimneys. Tiik experience of the last Summer shows conclusively that the farmer who does not sow winter crops, is only waiting for tiie day of judgment? which is sure to come. Tiik Emporium of Fashions is still ahead on black cashmeres, and all kinds of mourning goods, with stylish trimmings, guaranteeing btst value for the money. It's a crazy farmer who depends entirely on the Summer crops. Let every planter vary his crops, and sow some winter grain, as well as Summer crops. Tiik man who sows wheat contributes to the prosperity of the country, lie is thusenabled to spend that much money at home, in home comforts.

Some of the beit farmers of the I county are sowing down the greater portion of their farms. When* a farmer owns the land, and has the mules, it costs very little to sow wheat. < Examine your label.

All the thrifty farmers of this county are sowing large crops of wheat. trees from the various nurse-j riesare being delivered to our citizens.

Kirk, Chief Engineer ofj the above road, was in the city this morn-: ] inland in a short interview we found hint, as he always has been, enthusiastic in the future prospects of the road and confident, not only of its ultimate success, but that it will he the main trunk line between the Northwest and the Atlantic coast, passing through South Carolina. For years the projectors of the road have been quietly pushing its way amid | the jeers and taunts ot those wiio did not believe that the Blue ltidgo, that greati mountain barrier between the West and .Southeast Atlantic States could be crosscd at a maxim grade not to exceed, in any instance, more than !h> feot to the mile. Hut this fact has been so clearly demon-,, stinted that there is a growing excitement among capitalists in regard to the road ' and a strong desire on the part of West-1 ern men to obtain control of its franchises.! A syndicate has been formed which' represents over $13,000,000, and they will send an agent this way in a short time toj, examine the routo and to open'negotiations for its purchase or lease. Superin-jtendant Fisher, of the South Carolina ' 1 {ailroad, lias his eye cast longingly to-j< \var?l this part of the State, and will short-!' ly takoa tour ol'examination in this di- . reetion. This road is the favorable op-1 portunitv ol the South Carolina Railroad j to .secure a Western connection and; trump tiie Clyde syndieato l>y running; an independent line from Kastatoe < Jap through 1 ley ward county, N. C., to Pigeon Kiver and thence to Newport, Tennessee, only ^'5 tni'.es from Morristown, a continuous and independent line is formed from the West to the Atlantic coast. This, with the lino through the French ltroad Valley to Asheville, will give Kail-i road facilities to the richest agricultural region of North Carolina, and receive a heavy local trallie, which will be largely i remunerative. These roads will be built, and that at an early date. j In regard to the Atlantic and French; IJroad Koad, there is but sixteen miles to! be graded between Abbeville and Trick- ; em. The route between Kdgelicld and: Troy has been surveyed; has been j \ subscribed in Kdgelield to commence the ( work of grading. That portion of the road will cost to grade from S<ii)0 to ;M,<Kh? i per mile, not :*1<h) as has been erroneously j1 staled. This is the most expensive portion of the load to grade, as there are ninny streams to cross, and a large] amount of trestle work to be done. From j | Edgelield to Troy will require thegrad: iug ot is miles. The road graded so far is 4 miles between Abbeville and Troy?| [ 12 miles between Helton and Easley?and GJ miles between Easley and Pickens, i | The prospects of the Atlantic and French i l'.road Hail road grow more ami more en-| eouraging every day, and in a score or so of months the iron steed will be coursing his way through Eastatoc Hap?across the HI tie Hidge, and through the fertile val- ; leys of the French Hroad to tiie mighty j West. ! ' o t looks really as if some newspapers ' do not appreciate the beauties of ma- j | chine politics, but would bo so heartless as to take away loom the "bosses" their i ; assumed right to rule without question! j from the people* In view of this fact, it ! might be as well for the aforesaid bosses cu jut jwic if wuit; uu? ii in uin ouuu its Jliey have been forced to do in New York and other States. The people will never ' submit to a one-man power in South Carolina again. .Machine politicians mapped out the course of events in thisi State two years ago, but tliev will not be allowed to* do so again. Since 1ST<> there! has been a very patriotic: set of men in South Carolina, who have been willing to swap otiices around as if the State belonged to them, and common people have been accorded no share in the picture, except the drudgery of voting and electing t ho creatures of the great dispenser i of otiices to the places for whiclwtho machine designated them. This proceeding has been submitted to for the last time. The party which carries tliis State next' time will have to run a ticket composed j of representative men from ditto rent sections of the State, nominated by the representatives of the people in convention, and not by a junta of oflice-hoklei s, anxious to perpetuate their own power. | ? mLndcrauu Intelligencer.
