The Press aitl Banner, AllI^VIiiLE, S.C. sdnesday, Sept. 19, 1883.1 A Remarkable Fact. * Mrs. \V. T. McMillan of thin village ha* been at intervals h sufferer from nen-j ralgiw paint in hor ear and the side of her 1 head for forty years. And at Irregular; intervals the side of tho lace and ear was much swollen. When a little girl her mother told her that she had a stick in her ear, but it could never lie found and i tho belief was entertained that she was mistaken. But Hi 1 through ner me .*irs. McMillan's mind would recur to wliat her mother liad told her aUuit the slick in hor ear. Physicians were consulted | Me vend times, none of whom would lie- I lieve such a thing possiblo. Finally, Dr. Hill of our town who lias the instruments j for examining and looking into the ear, i was sent for. In a little while he brought i out the stick, which was about seven- I eighths of an inch in length and about 1 one-eighth of an inch in thickness, and j in a perfocl state of preservation. Mrs. i McMillan's delight at the sight of that ( little stick can be better imagined than 1 described. Having been a groat sufferer , for ?o long a time, it is to lie hoped that i nhe may havo a long time to live free I Irotn pain. i| ???? The Opening: of Our Schools. ji Last Monday whs the beginning of the , scholastic year in Abl>eville, and many i neatlv dressed little children, with bright i faces, and arms full of books, can now be , seen daily wending their way to and from the schools. ;, Mrs. Ponick and Miss Young are in : charge of the Abbeville High School for ' the presonl.

John White. jl We wish all these schools the largest measure of success. It is right and prop- 1 ^1^' er that we should have different schools, j no that cach and every citizen mav he., suited in a school. With all these schools in our community, wo think there is little excuse for denying the children tho opportunity of an education. Important io Teachers. The following Resolution has l>een ad-, opted by the State Board of Examiners : 1 Resolved: That tho exMiniiiAtion of 1 Teachers before County Boards of Kx- i aminers shall include a series of que*- | tions upon the Theory Pra'*ti'*e of Teach-' 1 imr; and that "Methods of Teaching" by,' John Swett, and "Art of School Manage- , tnent" by J.

I have nothing favorable to report in tin' matter of turnips, owing to the seed not having come up. It Is a consummation devoutly to be wished as I am weary of conjectures as to the cause of their ! non-appearance. "If there beany good thing 1 to be done, do not let us burst in ignorance of j It." The crops j;c erally arc said to be short;' If a like shortness be a marked feature in the , turnip production, allalrs are, as yon said in your last issue, "in a hud way." In view of! the great need to seek greener fields and puslures new. would it not lie well to advise every family to have a cotton mill?

IJeing on the: spit, they could superintend its construction und all minute details. The Romans were a iireat people and their Senators and profes-: Kional men wore a Togo. There is at this day i nil editor in Philadelphia who not only draws ii fat salary of SH'.INKJ per year, but Is said to be a Roman Senator, barring the Toga. Nothing would be easier than to have a number of l'ogas made from the cotton fabric, provided 1 we had the mill to spin the raw material. Of i-ourse the faetory would be most essential to rivoid tlie tax and transportation on fabrics to ?mi fro. There would be this great udvan-| iav;c: we could supply our friend of the press | In i'liilitili'lplilit and all others who would do-: *ire to adopt the Toga, including our learned professional men at home.

H. j Letter from tlie County Commissioners, j Editor Prrxs and Banner : Ii) the last issue of the Prets and Banner' there appears an editorial which wc think deserves some notice and with your consent we wish to make a statement or facts. You say you have Information from trustworthy audi respectable citizens. We think these citizens I should have have made their complaints to those who had the authority to rectify defects ?nd should have lodged their complaints at the proper place. We admit tne rfcht of all citizens and editors to review the acts of public officers, but in all reason before charging officers with grave offences in the public prints they should be sure their complaints are true. The law gives the County Commissioners the supervision of the poor of the county and It is certainly their duty to t?ee to It that the paupers are humanely cared for and we think this part of their duty has been | discharged, editor of the Prrsx and Banner to llm i-rinlmri' Tlip <rni ml lilrv hnVfi time after time made their Inspections and we claim that we have visited the poor house at different tlmesand have questioned the Inmates us to their treatment and they have reported to us that they had no complaint, and in order that the tax-payers may all know what the contractor for the keej-lng of paupers lias to do we give specifications. He Ib to furnish all necessary clothing, bedding, medical aid, with the following rations weekly, to wit: 2 pounds bacon. I pound beef or equivalent In molasses. 8 pounds meal, 2 pounds flour, % pound cotree. p >un<' sugar, pound salt, \\ pound tobacco and a sufficiency of vegetables. The rations must tie well cooked and served to the helpless. The Inmates must be humanely treated. Kaeh and every one must tie kept und decently clothed. Their beds and bedding must he kept d?'c. nt and comfortable. The sick properly cared for. and all medical aid necessary, Ac. The grand Juries and courts nave thought this amply sufficient (Press and Manner dissenting.) and we venture the assertion that one-third of the citizens or Abbeville county live on less than Is allowed the paupers. You suggest that the officers close the Intltutlon and admit nono to the mockery of pretended charity. The law * ~ .>* requires tlint ench county slmll have a pooi house, and we lire not the Imv-inakern. If w< were, we might make a change and requln all old bachelors, who arc too stingy to have f family of their own, to Kupportat least tw< of tin- paupers of the county and tf there was not a sutlleicnt number of paupers to supply them make up the number from the poor anil Indigent children to feed clothe mid'educate. The Pre<*.? anil /homer finds great fault with | Ili*> plan of letting out the keeping of the paupers and contrast* the bond of jail hlnb with the paupers. This If It proves anything proves that the dieting of prisoner* is much t?>o high and a matter that the County Commissioners have no control of. It shows that responsible men are wilting to provide for the paupers at a less rate than the law allows to Jailor's for prisoners. The contra' tor of Hit poor house is a responsible man hacked by it pood bond and If reliable citizens \\ ill come forward and make the proof that lie lias failed to do bisduty in the premises we are ready to Investigate the matter. That there are chronic urumb'ers no one can deny and the Press anil Runner seems to be in that class. The present arrangement for providing lor the poor has been In operation since 1K7."?, and has met the approval of all the grand Juries, and been recommended by them, and approved by the people generally with a few exception*. The Preys ami fitmncr thinks that any sensible man knows that sit the price obtained they cannot treat the paupers as they should be. The contractor Is hound to fur nlsh thesaine treatment at the present rnteas was given when the price was $! T't per month. We suppose tin* idea is to spend more money, hut we think the tax-payers are of opinion that no money should be spent unnecessarily, mid If responsible men will take care of the paupers properly for live dollars tier month what good reason Is-there to make them recover ten or eleven dollars per month. We are as solicitous as the Press ami Banner can lie,that the paupers should hehumiinely cared for, Hitd when the facts are made known to us that they are neglected will try to have the defect supplied. We think we have as hu inunt? a man in charee ol" the poor house as is gem-rally found. and if lie fails to do Ins duty wo a re ready to bring him to task when the facts arc made known with the evidence to support the same. Any person of sane mind knows that tlie County Commissioners cannot stay at the poor house every day in the year, and If any citizen who may see these defects wlil report the case to us we will attend to it without being held up In the public prints as monsters and charged publicly as disgracing humanity, ami should those trustworthy citizens. Mr. Kdltor, whisper in your ear that these disgraceful things are being enacted please whisper to us and not publish to the world thi't Abbeville county has such Incompetent ottlcers. Yours. Ac.. O.
