t-JEiKl .. ' ?i? fflte Press and Banner. 15y II?^!i Wilson. Wednesday, Feb. 23, 1S83. Tit? Holism c? the "Sovr Testament a:id t!?ir Dujllsli. "J. A. S." a correspondent of the .4.?*0' n'a.V Itf/onnrtl Prcsbyterimi, in criticising the Revisers of the New Testament says : "The Oanterlinry Revisers have, in many instances decidedly improved the diction, and ci von its niticli clearer ideas of many passages tha? the Attihorizei; Version." After writing tliis elegant .sentence, he says: "While this is th* case they hn'vecopied ?? <?.? iiir.ioivf.it tlio iiiiMiher of ci)srt h'te words found in the Authorized v?rtdon. As an illustration of this we w: 1! select a few words. The obsolete and militrnnivff proposition. vn-t:>, is found more frequently in the revision than in the* An-j thorir.ed voision. It means vot-to ; itn. l tlr? inseparable prefix, giving it a vr;ytt>ve signification ; it is compounded of ini, i vof, and to. We respectfully sug:ro>t that ; when the Old Testament Revision isi ready.for the pi ess, and the Old and New ' Testaments are printed together, that fliisj , Xintneaning un-to ho thrown out of both! of tlicm. Our criticisms are apparent lo j anv one who will recall to mind a few! words !o which this inseparable syllable] uu Is prefixed, always giving suen words, a najudvc meaning, as ww-jnst, vet just, wu-holv, 7tot holy, nn-righteous, not right-1 eons, <.fcc. Continuing in the line of criticism, he: says: " IJ'e object," Arc., but gives the deader no idea as to how tr.any of him i there ".re. "We" s3vs : j " rt'c object bolh~U> the Authorised Ver- : sion } *id tlie Revision on another impor-, taut point, it is this: They both often jm-| sat (he definite article before important i words, thus making that definite which j the Holy Spirit has left >jci cntl or indeti-j nite. As examples of this see Matt. x. j 15; xi. 2-f; xxiv. 12,30; Mark vi. II; 2; Peter ii. 'J ; iii. 7 ; Jno. v. 28." Ttiis announcement must be very tnor-i li Tying to the revisers. Wo would suggest that the request that! the reader look after the quotations indl-1 caled by figures and Roman numbers, is. just so much waste print. While there1 is room for division of opinion on: tho subject we think tho quotations referred to should have been print-j ed in full, or else all reference to them' should have been omitted. "There is another point or two to which j \ve desire to call the attention of trausla- j tors, viz., the misapplication of the distributive either instead of eoeh. The ex-' pression, "on either side," occurs twice! in tho Authorized Version, viz., Jno. xix. lo, and Rev. xxii. li, "Tiiev crucified !:im,! and two others with him. on either side| one, and Jesus in the .nidst." Now it isi i?lain from this lanu;u;ti;o that Jesus was j , eticcen tho two thieves, and hence the .^translation should be "on each, side one." i sThe new Revision follows this blunder.! "And on either side of the river was thel Tree of life," this is the Anthorize.'l Ver- j :*ion. the Revisers eorreet this and render| it ,>ropcrly thus, "And on this side of the; river and on that was the tree of life."j JCither means one or the other, but there! ^ woiihl have been only one thief, and it isi indifferent, according to (lie Authorized j Version 011 which siiie he was, but thel writer says there were tuo thioves, an.i | "Jesus in the midst," or between thvm.j nonce incrc was unu vi >m ./*>-: su*. Tho same is true of Rev. xxii. 22: j there was a tree on each hank of ihc riv-.i nr. We often see literary men make ttiej same kind of a blunder. As: There; wore wild horses cm either side of I ho j railroad track, when .he meaning is that] the animals were '>n Loth sides of the! road. It will he said that one can under-! stand what tlie writer means by such ex- i pressions; that is true, but when men,! <und especially literary men, write, they should write correct English. We always! take an American by what he says, and j ?n Irishman by what he means." This learned critic of tho "Revisers of' the New Testament and their English," I quotes Webster as authority to sustain j him in tho opinion that un is obsolete j and meaningless when prefixed to"to"j in the expressisu, "lie said 1111-to them,"! <fce. As ho cannot ^>y any rule of law or! evidence discredit his o;vn witness, let us) see what Webster .says of "either." llej says it means: "Each cf two." To support this view Webster quotes Milton, thus: ) "Tils fl-^wlnz bnlr T? Aurlf: on riiTit-r chutfk UlaVfd." A Rain: u?ilher Is always u*p<1 ns correlative to or. j and precedes it. imlioitithe llr>t of certain things,any ?>iio of which is irm\ is lo lie done, j Chosen,or tin- liice. K'lher he is la'kini;. or lie jjs pursu'Di, or lie is in u journey, or peiail-j venture be sleepetli. 1 Kiiiits. x.xviii: 27.' " Will our learned "We" put his own j witness, Webster, oft' the stand? Will j lie contend that Milton wrote bad English,: "and that the style of the Authorized Ver-j sion of the I5it?le is inferior to his own? ' This learned "We" undertakes to trans-' late certain words into our own language, j hut from his manner of using tho King's ! English, he has failed to convince us that any of his criticisms are just, or that any of his proposed alterations are improve-} monts. It may occur to the reader, that: ^ it would be well enough for any; writer who may think that he is in the > plurul number, to lot too lsiuic aione. | - > Adgor* College, ami lis Quarrelling j . /'- Professors. * The mail brought us the following letter one day last week. It would seem from the address, "Editor iVe.sa Banner," that it was intend ">d for ptibli cation, but the tenor of the i:otewould! indicate that it was merely a private notej ' imking the re-publication in the columns 'of the Press mid Manner, of Doctor Mul* tally's communication to the Keowee Courier Not being ablc.to decide whether it is a private letter or a communication for tlie paper, in the hope of doing the right, wo herewith copy it, omitting the name of the autiior: JjbfKTY-SlX, S. C., Fob. 23, 1RS3. Mr. ifitdh Wilson, Editor Press and llanner >lt 1)e.vk Sir?I notice in your paper of the 14ili instant, a letter from Prof. il. .Strong taken from tlie Wathulla Keowee Courier in regard to "Adger Collf;;y and it* Troubltw.'* In order that the \t hole truth may he known, I would like for you to publish Doctor Mullally's letter and statement of facts to b^ found in this week's issue of the Waliialla pa|x>r. The letter of Prof. Strong which came out in your paper last week has prejudiced a great many in this community to my certain knowledge not only against Doctor Mnllally, but also against Adger College. The people of this county have seen through your paper one side of "Adger College and its Troubles." I hope you will show them the other side, as it is your aim to present the wholo truth on buhjects of general Interest to the people. Yours very truly, ? e * The''letter and statement" referred to, occupies a whole page of the KrowccCourier, and we respectfully ask to be excused. We could oll'cr several reasons, one of which is, in a general way, we feel friendly to the institution, anil do not Want, by any act of ours, to injure any institution of learning. We would like to think well of the College, and would be glad to see it prosper, and believing that nothing which has been published w <eould do the College more harm than the ""letter and statement" of Doctor Mnlially, we prefer to suppress it, so far as the Press and Banner is concerned?though, H as wo published Professor Strong's letter, if our frieud insists, wo uiay yet publish W u In connection with this, we beg leave to make a statement as to how we chanced V to publish Professor Strong's letter. Various paragraphs had previously appeared in the newspapers, making conflicting or .con fusing statements as to the dilfieulties at Adger College. When we saw Doctor Riley's and Professor Strong's letera in the Keouce Courier, we expected to gel at the real facts. With no desire to injure any one, and with no intention to advanco anybody's personal interest, we wanted to let our readers know how mat ters stood at VYallialJa. f or mis reason, we read the letters of Doctor Riley and Professor Strong, that we might,copy something into our paper. Doctor Kilejis an Abbeville man who has many warm friends in this county. For this reason, we preferred to copy his letter, but as Professor Strong made more statements in a shorter space, and exhibited less temper than did Doctor Riley, wo copied Professor Strong's letter. While Professor Strong's lettor is not such admirable literature as to commend its author as a writer for the public press, yet it is in onroplnion, much less objectionable than either Doctor Riley's lettor or Doctor Mullally's "letter and statement." And unless we are obligated to publish something of the sort, we would bo glad to be excused from giving further currency to that kind of literature which may be found in oitiier Professor Riloy's letter or B^^^^JtoUor Mullall.) 'a "letter and bl&tcmont." . I | _ | j All tlii* gentlemen connected or impli1 cated in this difli?-uIcy are men of education, pos.st*j?.sing the confidence, t!ie re! spect, and the friendship or a host of I fi iemls in every part of the State and it is ideally to l>e regret led that this dittictiity ! should havo taken place, and that this iquarre! tihoul 1 have bocn made public. I We believe that all this trouble comes j from a misunderstanding. Despite the ; imputations, which each makes against the other in the heat of the quarrel, we i are inclined to believe every one of them I to bo conscientious Curislian gentlei'ion. ; Of this, however, we are certain. If we arc foryiven for past publication* iu ref | erence to this quarrel, the friends ot i neither party will have further cause of | complaint on that score. I\ S.?Since the above was put in type ?'f! Iii vo li'i-iM vod :i lei ( pi- from the He v. | Dr. Mullally, ashing tlio public;tion of ! tin; same letter and statement,01 his letter j to us, Next week we hope to take such [action as may be ri^ht. We have gotten ; into a dilemma very unexptictedly. If we publish Dr. Mullallv's letter, wo are at ptT' fiit inclined to the. opinion that wo should also publish Dr. Itiley's. We are sorry that we ever said a word about J Walhalla, and we think the less publicity j is driven to this quarrel the better for all parties, including tho College. | State Publishers, Lotteries and Their Advertisements. Some of our fellow journalists in thej State have exerted themselves, by opening! their eyes very wide, at the appearance! of an advertisement of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, " t'10 columns! of the Xenlinel, lor several weeks past, j A friend kindly called our attention to; the existence of the law against the publication of advertisements for such institu- j tions in this Slate, and as a matter of, coursi', we discontinued our contract with the azents of the company after! January ; but our idea ;s, that the legisla-j tor who framed and introduced tho bill i for the creation of such a law, was I about fifty years behind the age. The State of Georgia is separated from South Carolina by the littib stream known as the Savannah River, ami has no such law. Just across that river lies the pro-j gressive city of Augusta, with her two powerful daily papers?publishing four I editions each day, penetr iting, we may safely say, every tenth home in South; Carolina.'and conveying ail the i 11 forma-1 tion that theolliccrs of these institutions j desire, communicated to the people. So with the Savannah Morning A'ein, with i its heavy editions, and numbers of other j journals coming into the houses of South ' Carolinians every hour in the day. In I the face of all this extensive circulation,! the home-printed newspapers of thisi State are debarred, bv a local law, from adding the price of these advertisements j to their respective incomes. It reminds ns of removing :t lunatic asylum from a StatCiin order to restore its inmates to a condition of perfect sanity,?there is just I about as much of the practical in such aj law, and while we are not lawyers, wej believe that this law (so far as it relates to | tho press of tho State,) is in strict violation of the Constitution of tho United] States ; if not, let us not stop here. There j is 110 telling how many people die annually from the use of bogus medicines and i other poisonous subtances, extensively advertised throughout the State in the patent papers, imported here every week. Mow, in order to throw a more perfect safeguard about tho lives of our puuy peopla, wo suggest that some steps be taken to prevent publishers bringing these dangerously tempting bulletins before the eyes of their readers. There is no better way of accomplishing this, than by the passage of a law forbidding the importation of patent outsides and insidesinto the State, making tho penalty as severe as 011 those who violate the law in relation to the publication of Lottery Tn ntlioi* u'nnlc rlnu't to exclude arsenic and welcome strychinc. As it is, the sender <>f a patent paper can claim exemption under the State law, while the home publisher cannot; the former docs not print the outside containing tin-article in violation of law; it is published in another State and sent here, while the homo publisher prints it all here and is answerable to the law. Shall we continue to progress in the Rainbow's track ??ItumwcU Sentinel. Our pood brother seems to be a little out of humor, and somewhat mistaken as to his facts. The publisher of a newspaper printed on a patent outside is alike amenable to the law fur whatever appears [ on the patent sideand on the homo-printed | side. We have not seen lotterj' advertise- j ments in any patent side in this Stale. Wo fully concur in the s:i<r.?cestion that the public should be protected from the publication of patent medicine advertisements. Patent medicines are a thousand litres more injurious than lottery tickets. Lottery tickets are nothing moro than plain honest robbery, while the artful nr-otiiieou nf nil font irinrlicina advertise !' I I menus not only cheat their victims out ol ilieir money, but they ruin their stomachs and hence hurry their victims to premature graves. We shall he delighted to see a law prohibiting the publication of the lying advertisements of patent medicines, which rob and then murder their victims. Our respected friend is in error if he thinks to legislate the patent outside newspaper out of business. That can never be. The Sentinel will yet bo printed on a patent outside. It cannot afford to stand still. It must progress with the times, and must sooner or later take atvantage of the improvements of the day. The Pny of Teachers. Some of our brethren of the press seem much exercised that the salaries paid to public teachers is not higher in thevari-j our counties. Our friend the Edge field Chronicle weeps because the teachers ol I Abbeville do not get higher pay, and our i neighbor the (Jujjfney City Carolinian lai ments the small pay which the teachers ; get in Newberry county. All this seems j to us to be inconsistent with the clamor j ' for keeping the public schools open for a | longer time. The matter of (caching is a 1 practical bnsir.ess-like transaction. The County School Commissioners have only u limited amount of money, and it seems to us to be the greatest folly to divide out the money among the teachers for two or three months service. Long ago first I grade teachers in this county were paid ?2o a month. After that time it was determined to improve the schools and , raise the standards generally. As a be. ginning the pay of teachers was raised to ?40 a month. Teachers were delighted. I They soon drew the money, and were at ! play again. Later, the salary was re! duced to ?30 a month. The teachers then i were compelled to leach a much longer ' fiiiin for flip iiinnov. Xnw. f!ir? n:iv I is ;i month, and they arocompelled to i teach exactly twice as long for the same j money as they did when the pay was $io i a month. (Let it he home in mind that I the teachers in the main wero the same i under sdl those changes.) Now, what we j do not understand is this. Why do our i respected brethren of the press desire to i increase the pay of the teacher, when it is j known that the school term must he shortened in the exact ratio of that in| crease? Art> they looking to the | interest of the teacher? or roe they looki ing to the interest of the child hy having ! his school closed earlier? The School Commissioner should look well to the interest of the children, and ho should not j under any circumstance, waste their | money by any mere sentiment of big ; pay to teachers and short sessions to the j scholars. Wo have now the same teachj ers at ?20 a month, that we had when the j pay was ?U0 a month. We have no lack ! of teachers, and we think the teachers of j Abbeville county to-day rank as high as I they have done ot any time in the past j history of the county. Our County Comj uiiss.ioner is looking more after the interest of his children, than of the teacher, j As long as good teachers can be had at | tho present low rates, it would in our opinion, be little short of a crime to {squander their money by any erroneous sentiment about high salaried teachers. A Sensible Suggestion. | The Barnwell People never writos a long article, but that paper strikes right to the marrow. Last week it made the I following suggestion, which we fully endorse : "The numerous attempts made by our State Government and private associations to encourage and induce the immigration of Europeans havcall proved sijji nal figures. It is desirable to increase the j white population of the State and there is ja sensible way in which it may be speedi ily done. Let provision be mac> to pay the pn**ags of those homesick sons of the State who have emigrated to the West, i and who wi*h to return but are too poor J to do so. (Jive them a chance. They will accept it gladly, stay, woi k and repay the : money advanced to bring them homo. | We a^k the attention of our legislators to this Idea. t ' I ( The Saluda Argus.

Then why not devote a page nr( two to giving an account of the trial?! When the Court House is "densely pack-! ed," the local newspaper may find plenty ol work which will interest the reader. . o Let us Slop. As far as we liavo heard remark, the regret is universal at the publicity al-1 ready given to the Adger College quarrel. | The friends of the College at Abbeville, j we believ e are sick of the whole matter* j Wc regret that wo published Professor j Strong's letter, and we hope, to do the' College a favor by making no other pub-1 lications in reference thereto.

TWO SIDES TO THE SCHOOL QUESTION. Free FiibHc Education. I Xcii berri/ Herald. | A number of petitions have lately cone up to Congress, asking aid for public education at the South; anil they have called forth varied comment. The-e petitions represent the feeling that we are not altogether responsible for | the degree ol ignorance that prevails in the Southern States, and the belief that the State governments are not able to give adequate supt>ori to their public, schools, 'ihe firs-t question t<> be decided in the discussion ol any such subject as this, is whether lret? public education iscvera wise measure; and that questiuii has been answered in a practical way by the Shite governments. A dltt'erent is whether it Is legitimate fur ('<>i!gie>s to aid theSou'.hcin Stairs i*i t!i<s work they ttr<* doing, or whether tiny should uiiiUc the light for education, unaided. The increase <if Illiteracy at the South since ISIU. 18 alarming. The number of illiterate I voles in tlii' late slavc-ho ding States was, in I !8>i), more than one million, three hundred I thousand, the illiteracy ol the negroes being greatly fn exce-s of that of the whiles. This I ignorance is n standing menace to the j-c: | eii uiiy of our rcmihlican in.-ttiuiion*. and the welfare of society. Ills a public evil, and it itirnishes the sir >ngcst argument in favor of prompt relief hy theg neral govern'i?ent. One of llie finest political thinkers that ever touched a pen says "1 regarded it as wholly inadmissible that any peisou should partici!>ate in the flit)rage, without being ab:e lo read, write, and perform the common opera- | lions of arithmetic." Un1 versa! teaching j siiouid precede universal voting: and the nation should make elementary education accessible to the humblest citizen. Those who argue that education fails to make the negro a better citizen, prove nothing against public < schools, for they might add that education I does not. make the whitcman a better citizen ; I but it better tits each for an intelligent exer- j eise of the p: ivil<ge> of citizenship. Kduea-j lion seeks moral losoeiutions, am! no one who] lias not let a favorite theory silt nee common | st use, will deny that society is sa'est in the j most enlightened community, or that educa-1 lion and material development go hand In hand. It should be borne in mind that V cso petitions do not in any sense pray for Northern u:u ? tm*j a^u niv ??? . that which they are entitled to receive, and ! \\ hich would I)'.* nt 1111111c*11 >e advantage 1" Hit-1 public, without being misled from thonatlnr.- j a trwiMjiy.

Without aid of this kind,our free public schools must for a long time remain inellieicnt. i'hey meet. obstacles that arc peculiar to the South. Their clliclency Is crippled by the spars?-ness of our population; then comes ;he ii:dl-p isition to taxation at.d (tie; want of tit mis. lint Ihc most- serious olxlacie,anyone which our critics have not yet uiu'n tiie consideration it deserves, Is thcrace problem. The negroes in our Mate pay comparatively nothing lor public education, and yet the colored children in our schools outnumber the white < hihlrei by more than ten thousand. The presence of these negro children lenders two sets of schools necessary, tor mixed schools will never be tolerated; anil it consequently makes the schools system .less than half ascflicient as it. would otherwise be. The negro is comparatively anew cmier In society, and education means a treat deal more to him than to bis white neighbor. In addition to the I'sual mental training of our schools, he must be tauuht good morals and stood manners. This rei|Uins belter schools and belter teachers than he has herctofoie had. ami much better than the States are able to give him. The general government makes appropriations to support a navy and a standing army, and no one objects; it seeks to advance tiie conimcrchi! interests of our common country by constructing Jetties In Charleston harbor, and no one feels that bis Slate pride has been stabbed. No more should we let a mawkish sentiment or silly pride lend us to oppose the appropriation of public money to make war upon Ignorance, that insidious public enemy, and to advance the educational inleicsts "of our people. | Other Opinions of Hie School Question.

I am reminded of what T once bei fore quoted from an Augusta clergyman, that many smart men will wish themselves Jackasses at the Day of Judgment." I do I not find that the wholesale education of New I England, for example, has Improved Its inorI als or added to Its hapiness. The evidence is ail tlie oilier way. While Kdmumis & Co.

[ Carolina Spartan.] Korslx weeks Spartum urg has been trying pin t of many of our people, and some of (hem good citizens, it Is u great ell'ort; In fact, it Is { Ihe greatest prl vutioii they liuve been forced1 to endure. It Is said by those wl o drink; t"at when u man wants a drink of whiskey, lie wafts it very had ; In (act, he ean think of nothing else at the (line. These people sutler, and they deserve the sympathy oi all good | people oil account of tlic terrible habit that! has overpowered them. They are in a state I of shivery, and they need an emancipation! proclamation. This new state of affairs ha< j not been going on hum enough to te<t it. The bar-keepers arc making a hard light to have the election set aside and a new 6110 ordered, j i'hey do not expect to net licensed bar-rooms I till* year, even if the court shonM decide that registration is necessary, but they hope to work a change In public si ntlment so as to restore license with all its evils next tail. Jt! Is evident to all persons who live here, and even to those who visit us occasionally, that | the eloped hars are protecting ihe women and i children who need It mo?t. Since Ihe first ol! January a drunk man on our streets is a very j unusual sight. We have heard of 011c unfortu-1 mite man, a slave to the degrading habit of drink, who wa*slnj;gerlng around sotneof ihe j .stores', w c uuve seen scores of men here on public days, who were perl'ee.:ly sober and j went home In that condition, and it the bur- j rooms had been open, the same men would ' have drank. Alter public days Inst year it was usual to see a number of pitiable persons brought before the Mayor, charged with drunkenness and disturbance. So far as we know that, lias not been the ease since the Mrst of January. Then, nearly every Monday morning fcveral negroes were brought up to answer for making a disturbance Saturday night and Sunday. The side walk in front ol Majrr Elford's oftlci: was often crowded with the accused and witnesses, until one could hardly pass. Since the first of January very few of Hie colored people have been arrested for violation of the laws, because, when they are sober they are a law abiding people. The calaboose Is now empty, and has been fori Kotne weeks. The Chief of Police can give hh j time, even on public days to hunting up escaped convicts and looking alter horse. thieves. Peace, quiet, good order and safely for our occasional drinkers prevail. That Is i the way most or us look at this question. On the other hand, it is said that there is"! more drinking than ever; that they who sell I whiskey are making more money than heretofore ; that all a man has to do is to find out j the rlulil man and make a present of S3 or HO to him, ami he, or his assistant, will not be i outdone In generosity, and the person making this gift will get, when he wishes it, the value of his money In whiskey. It Is also said that persons run In herefrom different places and sell whiskey for a lew hours and leave before j they get caught. It Is reported that there are certain houses here where whiskey Is kept for sale and thatany mini consider d trustworthy I, can get as much as he wants for the money, j, Now tills Is the street talk, and you can hear , it from those who desire the bar-rooms, with , all their blUhtlng Influences, restored.
