The Press and Banner, IBUEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, Aug. 8, 1883. V / ? ?Death of I)r. T. I.. Calhoun. |< Dr. T. L. Calhoun, a native of Abbe-;' vilie, but rurontl v tt citizen of Shrevo-!' port, Louisiana, died of typhoid fever in 11 that city August 3, 1883. " M The deceased was horn at Abbeville, j April 23, 1854, and remained here until ' about a year ago, when he determined to j neck a new home, lie attended the Medical College in Charleston one year, and graduated the next year at the Atlanta Medical College.

Dr. (.'alhoitn's genial di>|Hisi- , tion ami kindness of manner won for liim i many friends where lie was known, mid 1 hi* dentil is much regretted at Abbeville. J It Muems tliat a strange fatality has of late ( attended many of our Abbeville young | men. and now when a citizen goes off to J anew home, we instinctivel; fear for the result. Dr. Calhoun was pleasantly sur-j rounded by many relatives and friends at , the home of his nativity, but like many i other of our young men, he thought to win greater success in new fields, and J now within the short space of one year it , is our duty to announce the end of liisca- , reer on earth, he having died at a time > when life should have been most interest- 1 ing to him, and when, in the strength of j his manhood, ho might reasonably have , been expected to be most useful* to his j fellow citizens. But he has finished his I work in the morning of life, and he has 1 thus early gone to rest. Peace to his j ashes. He will be kindly remembered t in Abbeville. j' lj Our Bill or Fare. In this week's issue we present no great J variety of matter, but what we do give is , of the best quality. Among the good | reading is Senator Butler's remarks on 1' tlio road question. The minutes of the ' Cokesbnry Conference at Ninety will be found Interesting, and will well repay a] j perusal; an article on Intensive Farm- i ^ ing offers many practical suggestions;;" communication of "X," in reply to Col-'1 ^ onel Aiken appears among tho interest- J ing articles; the affidavits at the hearing OI me IIHOCas lnr(JUt will wmwvt urn 'ight on an old subject; the London Lot- ; * ter is entertaining and gossipy ; the sy- J nopsis of Dr. Jovnes' Lecture gives only an idea of the excellence and beauty of; that address; an article on the German < Carp and its ponds is worth a year's sub- * scription to tlie Pre*.* ami Jinnner. And , we hope that the local column may not i t be without interest to the reader. j !

We know*of one i J citizen who a year or two aa;o luxuriated j sl in turnips ami salad, during a whole Fall j' . and Spring by sowing a pmnd of turnip t seed broadcast in his i-orn in August. A 11 pound of seed may be had for forty cents.; * The man who would be willing to do], without turnips a whole season for tliath a iiouut does a very strange thing. ? If oats are sown on bottom land not,{ less than three bushels to the acre should j i be sown. By sowing a large amount of ? 1 seed, the weeds, that would otherwise c take possession of the land in the spring,! ( will bo choked out, and the stalks of oatsL l . will not grow high enough to fall when the grain is ripening. Remember, not i? loss than three bushels to the acre on J good bottom land.

Joync*' lecture wns so closely packed ; M-tth Hue thoughts,that the safest aim will l>c . [ give merely n rew specimens of these In.1 .Uftdof attempting a complete outline. In I iolng no, we shall try to present hi" general il. us without attempting In every case to fol- i low liim in detail. The lecturer urged the Importance of the I tfutly or Knglish. It Ik the necessary condi- J lion?the instrument-of all other study. | Hence language study Is introductory to all; >tht*r. It 1? an error to suppose that I.ntin j diould he studied in order to learn Knglish. Hie student cannot comprehend Ijitln with-' tut some previous understanding of Knglish. Uesldes. if Kmilish cannot I ?e stud led till after Latin, the vast majority of our common chool pupils are shut otf en'I rely from leaning th<" mother tongue. Acoralnx tn I'lmilent Kilot. the one tiling indispensable to a rood education is theahlllt.T to use the moth ?r tongue with accuracy ana torcc. i ne ini'inid of teaching tnnst be adapted to the subject. Hence II Is proper Tor u* a* teachers to learn the characteristics of the Knglisli language. I'Iks" may tic considered under three heads: ; I. Its vocabulary. This Isof surpassing richness and educating tower. The English being a mixed language, is v??cabulary Is drawn from various sources -the tongue of the old German, the French,! he Roman and the Greeks, all differing In lvlllzatton and other circumstances. It ,hus contains the richest clement.s of tioth an-} lent and modern s|>ecch. Yet these elements. though blended, are not confounded, nit may be said to lie In distinct strata, the' icrman for Saxon) words being used chiefly n the talk of every day life, the French In nore polite conversation, the Latin in stately md formal discourse, supplying also terms} por law and theology, while Greek furnishes j .he nometnlature of science. Hence there! ire many sets of words, coming from these ilfterent sources, which have substantially .he same meaning, but dltfer In the clrcum; lances of their use. This makes the study of English synooyinsof unequalcd richness and inportunce. Teaching to distinguish between ?ords whose differences are to be felt rather .ban named is one of the finest possible disciplines of the discriminating faculty. In hetorlc the subject of diction, or style as delendent on words. Is, in Knglish, of ttie widest range. Word study, then. Is of special m porta nee. It may be begun in the lowest trade and is not exhausted 111 the highest. I'll is study is nil the more valuable because It s not 011 the surface?not for show.-hut hears rrult In the quiet formation of mental habits, riie elements of which Knglish Is composed, 1. imtoroponnotis. are assimilated, he-1 online thoroughly English in form, pronun-j Million, acccnt and grammatical clmmcter. 1 Phis assimilating power in English give* it ivl( >vonderful growth. It van. and continually loes, receive elements from all other Ian- ! wages, Is cosmopolitan in character, and out grows race and nation. II. Its Grammatical Elements. The grammar of English, as well as Its vo. abulary. is explained by its history. Anglo- -axon and Norman-French, the two inulncl-;, ments of English, were both In Hoe ted. In ( he language resulting from their combina-'1 ion, the Inflection were simplified or drop-|, x'd entirely. Words lost their grammatical : , nark, and the parts of speech were transfer- < ed or confounded, i E. g. Love may be a verb, t noun or an adjective.) In English, there- 1 ore, the word becomes logical, abstract, ideal. J A'e can express the naked Idea, and are not i Kinnd, as in I.atin, to clothe it in uniform de- j i toting the part of speech and, perhaps. Its |! a?e or mood. This gives English an enlarged j. mwer. It Is the language of logic, and its; tudy is, as a noted metaphysician s.i.vs, the 1 tudy of logic. Hence we may infertile meth-j' kI of teaching. Grammar Is to be snbordl-1' mted to logic, the form, to the thought. The j imposition (ns the expression of the thought) 11 s the unit, ar.d Is to be separated into its log- 't' cat elements. I'ar.-ing, then. Is to be subor-: 1 linatcd to analysis, the word to the sentence. J ' rhls fact Increases the simplicity but, at the j1 aine time, the difficulty of English grammar. I " ?' * ?? In T.tit.in. Ita i >incc ciicii hipiu mo uw,?.< ... ?. unction as noun or verb or adverb ticketed j iponli.lt* relations can be determined only iy reference to the thought. This requires! eflectlon and Is un excellent training of the! (linking powers. It This simplicity as to form gives Rngllsh the: ' Uiilit.v of clearness. In Inflected language*, j1 case, for example, may express several rela- j ] ions, and sometimes It Is doubtful which Ink ntended; but In English each of these Is ex-!c 'licltly stated hy a word of lis own. [ r The lo<s of syllables that would be required t jr inflect ion gives brevity. Voltaire said t lint the Frenchman's life is one-third shorter c linn the Englishman's, Just so much lime he- i tie lost in the pronunciation of superfluous t ylliibles. Brevity gives force, condensation nd emphasis, a sentence In either of I he lassie languages may be compared to the rncefullv curving flight of a feathered arrow; J sentence In English, to the course of a rifle ullet. The ancient and the modern languages are ast opposite In their character!stlc qualities, 'lie former lire inalnly grammatical, the lat- | er logical; In the one class word formsen- j age our nt'ention, in the other idioms; the , net hod of the one Is pairing, of the olhor ( n dysis. This opposition makes It wrong to . ry to teach English and Latin by the same . nethod. Whatever Is the right way in one Is, < >r that very reason, wrong in the other, 'his very difference makes nn ancient lun- J uagc more valuable as mental training tiian , modern, and to be preferred when only one \ an be studied , III. Its Structure. Tills is determined by ihe lack of Inflection, 'he relation ot words can he shown only by ?i<-llio:i. This necessitates simplicity, closeicss and directness. Thus we have clearness ( .nd force. The more unusual the position ol a word, >.? itu uni,ii,i,iii< Kroni this Eng Ish KiilnK.ln point of emphasis,a decided id \ ant age over the ancient languages, which illowcd such freedom or arrangement that tn> ' vord can be In a very unusual position. I Plicae <)u-i 1 ities Just mentioned me those of I >lo(|iir?ni;e: so that Kngllsh Ik seen to have a 1 >ecu lar fitness fororatory.

Kditor Prtit and Bunnrr: In my report of the speech and festivities] at Monterey In your Journal, 1 have brought upon niyseii the inosi iriaugu.ar tight, in I which it has been my inis:oi'luue to fiigage. | First, you have classified as "errors" st*iemenls in the report of a speech which you ad- : mil you never heard, auii upou he mere diemm of itie orutor himself. who commenced j his speech by saying itmt lie liaidiy knew tiow lo comlilne a religious with u farmers and political talk, and acknowledged that, lie wus al a Ion* what lo suy, from what has transpired I ain thoroughly convinced thai tins was not a supcilicial Judgment, and 1 doubt II even now ho knows what he did actually say. Secondly, the Hon. I). Wyatt Aiken objects to the report as representing hiH views and sayings 011 that occasion, and denounces as absolutely untrue" ceitain statements ilierej in. Yet, in Lis reply, lie admits th.-in all and puis a bad construction on every sentiment he uttered, a liiing which I did not do. 1 thank you, Mr. Editor, in this connection for so miid a term as errors." and lastly, 1 have brought down U|>on my devoted In ad the anathemas and severe cinticisin ol some of my Monterey people by Using In said report so uuasMihetic a worn an "meeting," and speaking ol their tesiival as the "Monterey Sleeting." For this iHStoltence I crave pardon, 1 have a fondmss for alliteration, but my own cumbersome phraseology, my deficiency in the etymological application of words, my thorough lack ol the tesihetlc element, my inability to embellish my style with the elegancies ol dictum and high graces of composition, must be my excuse for offending ears so fastidious, and ptrsons so accumsiiimed lo select the choicest gems of our dialect. Doubtless, I should have spoken of the festl-j val as a grand, high, and select Symposium, i and reported the lion. 1). Wyatt Aiken si speech as one of impassioned and matchless' eloquence, the spell of which was only broken with the cessation of his voice, bui like: the honoruble gcnilenian, "I am one of those who doubt the policy of ever withholding1 the truth," regardless of the fact thai lie has 1 had the courtesy to stigmatize my report as I "absolutely untrue," and expressed his person- j al feeling in this elegant style. I have always! been brought up In the school to believe that I men who reach high station, and acquire eminence were remarkable for their refine-1 meiit and conspicuous for the respect and consideration they showed to others whoi d 1 fie red from them in opinion or expression. 1 He objects to the statement that lie told I Ills audience "that merchants showed 110 favors to farmers" and says if he did say so he was an ass. 11 Is not my province to decide this last matter, but if ll Is no favor for a iner-1 cliabt to advance to a farmer, and when I drought and disaster come and he in unable | to settle the whole of his account, to el ve hi tn 1 time, tide over the worst part of the year with him, carry heavy balances 011 Ins next year? account, advance lo him to make another crop, when he is thus In deb', Instead of telling him out, as he has the undoubted legitimate right to do, if this is not what would be termed favors, I have a total misconception of the Idea and Import of the word, and 1 have generally observed that when a farmer needs favors he usually goes to the man lie trades with. Is it not a palpable fact that merchants desire to build up their trade ? They don't expect to trade with a customer for one year only, then cut him adrift, apply the thumb-screws to him, and all the horrors of this stem and Inexorable len law. My notions and experience of > i - , * [ - ' I hiiKhiPKS rpl.iMnns nrr? ncit. so nnfflr^nht nnrl farmers lire generally ko poor as Col. Aiken | would lead us to believe, we have many of them In our county who comprise our wealth- j lest citizens, and who have made their j money by farming, it Isa general cause of re-1 mark how many of them have made improvements on their places, furnished their homes: with comforts, purchased expensive machin- , cry and labor-saving agricultural iinple- !; merits. Introduced new breeds of fine stock j on their farms, and secured the blessings that! i attend any man who applies himself to his | business, und gives constant and intelligent | attention to II. Every whs-re and at all times 11 their success Is appreciated and rejoiced in. i 11liInk it nocompllment to them, butjnst the i reverse to have thern appear such a dependent, thriftless, and unaccumulatlng set. I have written these lines, Mr. Kdltor, In Justice to myself, and to refute some of the injuitous effects of Col. Aiken's speech. 1 have'heard expressions as the result <if his teachings which [know he would repudiate i and disclaim, and regret having caused such j impressions as his speech occasioned. In his i 7.eal tor his farmer friends he must certainly accord a reasonable degree of honesty and fairness to those engaged lr. other pursuits of life, and not allow self and self-interest to separate the purposes of a mutually dependent community or break the ties of a united and happy people.
