1 he Press and Banner. By Hugh Wilson. Wednesday, &arch 19, 1884. Sew ArrangoMcut. We made arrangements whereby TV. K. ftlake, Esq., will edit n "Greenwood DepartmeYiV' Of tho Press una Banner. Our object in pffCftin? this a'r ran cement Is to make the phper more interesting t< its reader*, and we are snro that We ran. with Mr. Blake's ht?lp, make the Pre.t.and Banner worth twice as much to it* readers as it was before. Under the new management tho Prcti and Banner will really combine two papers in one?an Abbeville paper and a Greenwood paper. Each department, whilo harmonizing. Svill be independent of the other. Mr. Blake, as editor, Is too well known to the people of Abbeville Count}-, and ' to the brethren of the press to, need any introduction from us. The excellence ol the editorial management of the different papers at Greenwood is known of all men, -and this Is the reason which has prompted iis to seek the arrangement, whereby the readers of the Press and Banner will be so uiuuh benefitted. <*ood Sews for the SftrnnnAh Valley Railroad* Tho election in the different townships in this county as to whether the townships should subscribe to tho grading ol the Savannah Valley Railroad came off last Saturday: For Against SubSubscription. scription. Lowndesville iy$? 4 Magnolia 114 23 Calhoun 191 45 Bordeaux 100 32 Total 604 104 Majority for subscription, 500 By this action the townships subscribed as follows: m Ix>wndesville 8 5,700 00 Magnolia 4,?n0 00 Calhoun 4,400 00 5,400 00 Total 820,000 00 The people along the line of the Savannah Valley Railroad have done well. They seem to be almost a unit in their desire for the road, and wo trust that those who may be opposed to it, or op|>osed to contributing to its constrction, may yield their objections and pay their proportion cheerfully. In no event could litigation fcave anything to the litigants. The costs x>f a suit would be more than the taxes, and if anybody thinks there is a principle in it to defend, we hope that he may not insist upon a doubtful principle, ?li<i0t3 many of our cltiftjns believe a railroad and the welfaro of tho whole country is involved. It is the part of patriotism for individuals to respect tho wishes of their neighbors at a time Vhen it costs them something to do, and the advocates of this tax should not forget the patriotic act of those who yield ? . ' thoir convictions cheerfully and kindly. "While this is an occasion for rejoicing, it is not an occasion for tho manifestation of any unkind spirit to those who were in the minority. It is not a victory over an enemy. It is merely an expression of opinion among friends. The grace with which those who were in the minority will withdraw their objections, and the cheerfulness with which they will pay, is the evidence of the best eiti-j cenship and the highest manhood. Those who are opposed to the tax, but still pay It, deservo a groat deal moro credit for doing so, than those who votvd for tho levy. Their unselfishness deserve tho thanks of those who were in the majority. On a previous occasion, when tho ?e courts were appealed to, the litigants had good reason for their action. They believed, as did a very large proportion of the public, that the road could not be finished, anil that their money would be wasted in an enterprise which was doomed to failure. But the situation is differ- J *nt now. Much work ha* been done by ourselves and others. Others than our' own people havo staked a largo amount, | ,yet to be expended in tho enterprise, onj condition that we do a part. The money pledged in Anderson village and the city] of Augusta amounts to 830,000.00 and our own lovy, upon which thero has just been a favorable vote will swell theag-; gregate to 8^0,000.00. This money ju-i didously expended will, in our opinion,; ?ecuro the completion of the road. The; <Jeorgia Central Railroad is reaching its .arms out in Rome of the best portions of South Carolina and the enterprising 3ityi of Augusta wants and will have the busl- j ntus along the Savannah Valley. The> Georgia Central Road and the city of Au- j gusta are able and willing to finish the! Savannah Valley road, if we only do our! part, aud evince an earnest desire to have it. Let tho work go on uninterruptedly un- j til it is finished. Thoso who have more! property .ind pay the largest share ofi tuvau u-iil lwfho creat^st trainers. Real e*tate of all kinds will be greatly cn-l hanctid in price, and a market will be opened for the valuable timbers, which are now worthless as a regards a market value. X Little Overnice?Prejudice and Mistaken Judgment. The manairors of the Presbyterian Hospital, of Philadelphia, have decline.l to accept $2,000, the sharo due the hospital from the proceeds of the lite charity ball in that city. President Dickey, in a letter explaining the action of the board nays: "Our hospital is under the care and supervision of the church, and it is our conviction that it would be inconsistent in us to ae::f pt means for the support of the work which the church has given us to do, in its name and under its direction which the church itself could not accept? which you would neither ask nor expect a church to accept." We find tho above paragraph among our exchanges, and upon which wo would remark, that for blind superstition or fbr extraordinary effort to appear exceedingly pious?in fact, too pious for this world?we have never seen the equal of the act of the managers of the Presbyterian Hospital of Philadelphia, Under strict construction of their act, and a systematic observance of this rule, very few persons would bo allowed to contribute money to the church. The Church in .this part of the country does not engage In many of the pursuits by which money is secured, and if all men, who follow pursuits in which the church does not engage, were forbidden to contribute of their money, there would be a perceptahle shrinkage in the revenue. We know n ithing of tho Presbyterian Hospital of Philadelphia, but suppose that it is a charitable institution whose object is to administer relief to the sick or distressed brethren who mar be in need of help. This being the case, and if any affliotted human being is denied relief because of a lack of funds then may the sin of this denial and its consequences rest upon the heads of the sanctimonious creatures who refused the monoy?aa well may our preachers forbid a majority of people from contributing to the church, as to refuse the $2,000 from the charity ball. Ho doubt the same impracticable and ?verpious men would accept from individual citizens, the winnings arising from a horse race, or the profits made from the sale of whiskey which dethrones the reason, wrecks the soul, and bankrupts the man. Shall the sick, or distressed or dying person in need of a refuge from the pitiless storm, or in search of an asylum where the weary frame may rest, be compelled to stop and enquire the occupation or business of the benefactor who' has furnished the money bcforo bo can accept shelter, food, or other needed com -1 ? forts. Shall all men who do not make professions of Christianity be denied the privilege of ameliorating the sgflferings of humanity? If men are not denied the privilege of giving- money to the relief of their brethren, then why this effort at notoriety in refusing the $2,000? We hope the advocates for the running ct Tilden and Hendricks for President, may wait until our Egyptian mummies arrive. If they are Kivrn n fair tshow and an?v>n start Tilden and Hendricks will be detail in tb? race. The Register and the News atid Courier. Without going into the merits of tho spat between the It eg inter and the News und Courier of last week, wo would coin1mend the dignified and forcible manner j in which tho latter replied to the former. I The example of the News and Courier, in thi* Instance, except in its reference to the circulation of the Register, is worthy of ail emulation. The difference In the circulation of tho two papers had nothing at all to do with :he question at issue, and for this reason we think it was an error on the part o' lie News mid Courier to lug in an irrele vant matter, for no other apparent reason than that of injecting a sting into an otherwise unobjectionable article. We aie <ure that the News anil Courier did nut intend to claim exemption from criticism by the Register because of any difference in the circulation of tho two papers. The Register, in its language, must have been offensive to at least a portion of its readers, while the general tenor of its article may have suggested the idea that its criticisms of the Xc.w.i ami Courier might have been written as touch as an excuse for its owii failure to give I he public fuller details of a matter about which everybody was anxious to hear, as in any patriotic ventilation of disinterested friendship for Cash, or in giving utterance to any jjreat desire that the pcoplo of South Carolina should be tolerant and merciful to a sftof men who havoso much blocd oil their hands as the Cashes. With the exception of the matter about the circulation of the Iirr/ister, the Xcus ami Courier'* article is eminently proper, and we hope to see the brethren of the press act in like manner towards their assailants?even though the/ consider them unjust and vulgar. We hope to see the day when the epithets common to street gammins will entirely disappear from the columns ot the South Carolina press. The evidence which was brought out at the habeas eorpus trial of K. 15. C. Cash, in our opinion, vindicates the Xeivs and Courier. amL'oKIa Tncfnn/tA. IVl'IIIHl AHOUIUVVV ! Tlio Hon. J. C. Sheppard's house in I E Igefield was burned on the 2">th of Febj ruary. The general agent rushed down I there in four days afterward and in one i hour after his arrival?without the interposition of appraisers?his loss was i adjusted. But now, my Triend, don't be deceived by any such action. If your | house is burned, you may rest assured that appraisers and carpenters will bo around, making astonishingly low esti| mates, and if you do not watch very ' closely, sorr.e of the provisions in the closely printed saving clauses may knock you out of a part of the expected money. I A man who gets burned out will learn that thero may bo unexpected discounts. ; What we need in this country is protection from insurance companies. If they take our money the law should compel them to pay what thev promise. We do ' not know whether it is an unusual thing ' : r?1 V* 1IntiQ ior an iii^ui aiiw umh|?u?.j wr ? es in Edgefield, but we suppose they generally settle in some way, but as this one paid in full in this instanc , public mention was mado of it in the newspapers. I We see no notice in the papers of any individual, firm, or corporation 'paying their debts in Edgefield. Is the insurance company which paid Mr. Sheppard's loss, tho only debt paying institution in Edgefield, ?>r is it a remarkable fact that | that particular company paid its obligation ? We do not understand the situation in Edgefield. Our people in Abbeville pay notes daily, and no noise is I made about it. We take it as a matter of course that our peoplo will pay, but it I seems so remarkable that the insurance 1 company which lost by Mr. Sheppard's house should pay their loss, that a public acknowledgment of the same has to be made in the newspapers. The receipt, it seems to us, ought to have had the official seal of the State attached. People abroad would nowhere have doubted this remarked proceeding on the part of an insurance company if tho great seal of the State had been affixed. Pitiful Appeal. Where is tho blush of patriots who have turned their backs on their old confederates in arms ? Shall thejwhite man's desire to educate the negro, completely obliterate his manly pride and self-respect? Shall we forever annually appropriate hundreds of thousands of dollars for negro education, and forever deny any recognition of the services of our soldiers in war?our own men and brethren? Being a firm believer in the fact that this a free country?tree in every proper sense of the word, and that every citizen has rights which are the equal to1 tho rights of every othor chizen, we! think it is time to let every man take care of himself. The negro is as free an the white man. Then if he is free and has an equal chance, why degrade and rob the white man for the education of the brother in black ? Is it not a shame and a disgrace to tho Southern States for her citizen soldiery to bo compelled to put forth any such appeal as comes from -?*- ?!-!- -? - ?: ?I i-:_ , iucniuoiiu, > ngiiuu, ui? nine nut-u > 11ginia, like South Carolina, truckingly runs after the ungrateful negro with appropriations of hundreds of thousands of dollars, while these States rive not one cent to pension Confederate soldiers. Truly has ingratitude taken possession of the Southern States. Our self-respect j must bring the blush to every true j citizen, of South Carolina when he iscotnj pelled to state that we give three hunidrcd thousand dollars anually to educate a class of people who would swim streams, or drown, if necesary, in order to ' swear against us, but that we in our penury, give not a cent to the Confederate j soldier. The basest ingratitude which a | nation can show is to withhold its pension from the soldier who brayed death : in its deft tice. Add to this our ingratitude, j the almost unbounded liberality with ; which wo trucklinglv reward local enemies everywhere, and what should the world say of Southern valor, and ! Southern chivalry? I The following appears in the columns j of our exchanges, and we are inclined to | think the Southern gentlemen who re' cetitly expressed at Washington such un' dying anxiety about the education of the I negro might ro;id it with protit. R. K. Lkk Cami>, No. 1, confkdekatk veteiians, Richmond, Va., March 1, 1884. j The necessity for relief to ilisubled Confederate soldiers is growing more ur! gent every day. TJiey liavo no governj merit to support or provide for them, and must share the late of paupers un; less a home is provided for tliem hv prii vate contributions, and Lee (.'amp have ' undertaken to establish Btich a home, i They have appealed to their comrade I veterans of the (irand Army of the Rej public, who has responded with a noble ' willingness and fraternal sentiment, worthy of their heroic record. Still, the ; undertaking is large and the need lor i further aid is urgent. We, therefore, appeal to the banks and bankers, capitalists, insurance and other corporations, manufacturers and merchants, for such contributions in cash or merchandise as will be easily snared from their abundance and of great uelp in our necessities. We refer to Hon. W. C. Carrington, Mayor of Richmond, Va., or to any of our banks, bankers, or other business I people. j We will hold a fair in this city on or about the 1st ot May at the Armory. Let us at least have some contribution which will be gratefully accepted and duly acknowleded by publication in our city papers. Address R. E. Lee Camp, | No. 1, C. V., Richmond, Va., P. 0.

"g-'J g ?ass* Negro Exodns. We learn from tlio Anderson Intelligencer that quite a number of nog roes have left that county recently at differ- ?'l ent times to go to Little Rock, Arkansas, aud thut thirty or moro of these poor deluded crealures left the depot at that village last Monday week, on their way J Al to the "Hoi k." If there Is a man on top of tlio ground who commands adeoper sympathy than all the rest, it is the cmi- j grant, "a stranger iu a strange laud.'' It is said that certain agencies olfcr a promiumtoany man who will induce any ^ number of nogroes to go West. This, we nil regard littlo less than a crime. There is- ^ | work enough here for every man within ma lour borders, and if there are any who do ][})] not make a comfortable livini; the fault lh . p'il must be their own. To induce the in" j,u dustrious and thrifty to go away irom I their homes to a strange country, among rnc i Strang people, is, probably, to entail sufJ foring and privation on a people who ihi j would otherwise be comparatively com- ^'j fortable and contented. Ho; Oil Tariff Reform. | Tho newspapers and politicians of Jj1^ I Democratic persuasion arc still talking for iof the taritr. About one-half oi thorn {,'? ] j seem to think the main thing is to play " j hide and seek, with an eve single to the j office of President, while tho other half " J seem disposed to declare for a principle he' land stick to it. We are inclined to the opinion tlmt our people should be allow | cd to buy goods in the markets of the |y*, ! world without let or hindrance. W e or' i j hope, then that the Democratic party {'"j, may declare for free trade and hold fast j a ? ! as i I to the faith, weather we win or not in | e(|, 11S84.

The Improved ' 'hlte is the Machine of the future. TIlE WHITK Is manufuctured by an old impany who have had an experience of over liny years in the manufacture of Hewing achines. TH K WHITK Is the most simple construct I Shuttle Sewing Machine madeand adjustlc throuL'hont so thatany lost motion can be ken up In an instant. T TilK WHITK is the lightest running, and aile from the best material. T THK WHITK makes less noise than any her Shuttle Machine, and hii3K larger space T ider tlie arm. A TIIK WHITK has an oscillating self-thread- r ig shutU# and u self-setting needle. It has a * rong feed on both sides of the needle. ri THK WHITK wl;l do all kinds of work that v iy Machine can do. The White will do work lat no other Machine in the world can do. O THK WHITE hems, and sews on lace, and iserts bias trimming at head of hem all In 0 ie operation.

THE WHITE ruffles between two bands on ic edge of a garment, or through the centre ' a garment. With the above and other inges of work too numerous to mention the rHITIC stands without a peer. THE WHITE Machine mis been tested In ? bbevlllecounty over seven years and is war- | intod from five to fifteen years. The shuttle irrlcr Is lined and warranted twenty-five jars. In order to demonstrate the above I aw challenge any one of my competitors to ieet me In a nubile contest. THE WHITE .Machine can be run success- _ illy by electricity, an advantage that every 1 *lic.ite ladv will appreciate. With the bias ill cutter, button-hole attachment and eleclcal motor combined with the above the 'HITE is king of Machines.
