( 1 he Press and Banner By IIujj;1i Wilsion. Wednesday, Oct. 29,1884. ^ The Sontli Carolina Presbytery. We give much of our space to the discussion of the South Carolina Synod on the nuhjectof Evolution, as pronounced by Dr. Woodrow, which Synod met in Greenville la?t Wednesday ni^ht. Dr. Woodrow is the Professor who occupies the Perkins Chair in the Theological Seminary at Columbia?which was endowed ' by Dr. Perkins, of Mississippi?for the purpose of teaching the connection between the Scriptures and natural science. Among the theories of science which Dr. 1 Woodrow encountered in the perform- 1 artee of the duty assigned to him wa*> the ' theory of evolution, as is now taught and almost universally accepted by advanced scientists, that is that man is made of organic dust, and not inorganic dust as here- j tofore popularlv believed. We do not un?derstarid that Dr. Woodrow is teaching this theory as an article or faith, but its 1 presence in the lecture room, though it < seems to be legitimately within the scope i of his chair, has given the alarm to the I more conservative member# of his de- i nomination. From what we gather from ] the discussion his opponents in the church i do not charge Dr. Woodrow with heresy I or even that the theory is contrary to the s Bible, but that it upsets the popular inter- I Dretation of the Scriptures in some par- < ticulars. Many scientists have attempted < >o nse the theories and teachings of sci- I cnce to subvert the Bible, and the Per-; kins Chair was instituted to frepare thej ministers of the Presbyterian Church to < examine and expose all such pretenses, to ( discriminate between true and false sci-11 ence, for it seems evident that God would * never contradict his works by his word, 11 and the revelations of true science must' j always be in accord with his revealed j word. Evolution is too deep for us to ! j venture an opinion and w? are willing toj, leave it to be worked out by those who' i have nothing better to do. The South ' v Carolina Synod seems to have dived deep;, into its mysteries and have joined issue! t on it quite vigorously. It seems to be a disturbing matter in the Southern Presbyterian Church now, which is unfortunate as there are tnany matters of much ? greater importance for it to engage in 1 than a fruitless attempt to solve intricate 1 theories of science. While we believe th*t the discussion of scientific truths ran never affect the Bible truths, yet if the agitation of a subject like evolution should unsettle the belief and faith of Christians, such agitation must be hurtful, without producing any corresponding good. While we know nothing of the origin of man, and while w? care very little about his origin or ex Istence in that remote period of the world's history, we have the Bible as a guide in spiritual matters, nod it is none the less valuable, even though that Book should not attempt to teach any of the sciences, i In fact, we do net see why I>r. Wood-' row's doctrine of evolution should disturb anybody's belief, except in his hairsplitting and tine-spun theories in chang- a ing the common or accepted meaning * of language which seems plain to the can- [ ual or devout reader. When the transla- a tions nre nuarreled with, and when new and unusual meaning is given to sen- f' tences the act does unsettle the mind j. of many christians, no matter whether ti such utterances be by Dr. Wood row, the '' scientist, or by the preacher lu the coun- { try pulpit who has the assurance to set up r liis own judgment against the combined wisdom and learning of tli<- translators ot the inspired book. TUB VOTE ON TUK QUESTION. By reference to the report in another j1 column it will be seen that a vote was reached last night, when the majority resolutions, endorsing Pr. Woodrow, wero voted down by filly-two to fortyfour, and that the resolutions censuring him were also voted down. Much con- ' fusion and great feeling seems to exist j among the members. Wo hope that they e may not forget that the eyes of the eountry are upon them, and that they are now enacting chinch history, ? which,'as they may act wisely or other- ( wise, may advance or retard the sacred t< cause in which their life-labors are en- ' gaged. , The Presidential Election. i Before another issue of the Press and a Banner shall go out the great contest will * take pla<*e and either Cleveland and Hen- ' dricKS or uiaine ana uogan, win oc eiec- c ted President and Vice-President of the United States. From our limited means \ of information, we believe the race is ., conceded l?y all to be a close one. Under t these circumstances, we do not feel war- d ranted in making a prediction. The ^ scales are so evenly balanced that unim- f portant local issues may determine the v vote of the pivotal States. At present, t however it seems that the solid South and ' the State of New York will goforCleve- ; land and Hendricks, which would give 5 them one hundred and eighty-nine of 1 the two hundred and one votes, which |j are necessary to an election. It would v seem that in all the North we ought to t get the remaining twelve electoral votes r 'which are needed to secure a Democratic " "President. Democratic oyes look anx^"? ious to New Jersey, Indiana, California, c and perhap* to other Northern States for n neip in uns our supreme enort lor noncst r government, and an impartial ad minis- a tration of the laws of the country. j While our own people have no doubt J that the vote of South Carolina will be ? cast for Cleveland and Hendricks, the \ Republicans, we are told, arc counting on the vote of this State being cast for s Blaine and Loxan. We are not of the J kind to say "wolf," because we know l that our people will do their whole duty I "though the heavens fall." M There can be no necessity for urging our own people to go to the polls after ^ their magnificent demonstration at Ab- "t b^rille on the 7th, but we fear that peo- <: tile in other counties mav not h? alivn to a the imminence of the peril. The thirty thousand majority of black votes in the low country is to lie overcome or else our State will go for Blaiue and Logan. We are sure to elect our Congressman j t in this District. He is safe, and we are sure to elect our Presidential Electors, but are we going to give them majorities sufficient to overcome the great black majorities of Beaufort, Berkely, Georgetown and other black counties? The election of Congressmen is quite another matter from electing Presidential Electors. Each District elects its own Congressman, irrespective ot the action of any other District, and one District inay elect a Democratic Representative while its next door neighbor may elect a Republican. But the Presidential Electors are chosen by the aggregation and tabulation of all the votes of the entire State. The Black District with its thirty thousand majority is powerless to hurt us in the election of Congressmen in the other Congressional Districts, but that thirty thousand counts against us in the election of Presidential Electors. We: must therefore poll every possible vote for the Democratic nominees. Let it be understood that no man who j has changed his place of residence, since he procured his ticket, can vote. No; voter who lives on another farm or ia an- | other bouse from that io which be lived when be registered can vote without: a renewal of his certificate of registration. The vote of every citizen of, the county who has changed his resi-] dence since procuring his registration ticket, should be challenged, and every Democrat; who has a registration ticket, should be pr>mp ly at the voting precincts next Tuesdav morning at the opening of the polls. The fate of the country, the govern-' ment of the State, private and public interests, are all involved, and no man can be excused from doing bis whole duty in the hour of our danger. Mb. Cromer has withdrawn from the editorial corps of the Neuberry Herald, and Neirx. He was an excellent editor *od a correct writer, ( The End. Next Tuesday the battle of the ballots will bo fought in every part of the vast territory of the United States, and, no matter which of the political parties may win in the National contest, we hope tlmt when ;he smoke of the battle shall have cleared away that the atmosphere .shall be purified of the taint of scandal which has so lung offended the finer sensibilities of our citizens, and contributed to the appetite and pleasureof the coarse vulgarian. Instead of fighting this great battle on the high ground of noble and lofty prin triples, it seems that each party has depended more upon the heinousness of the charges which it could bring against opposing candidates than upon the importance of the meritorious causes which were at issue. With us at the South, the election is of the greatest possible importance, while, with the people of the North, nothing more tangible than sentiment can be urged. Let every South Carolinian do his whole duty, and trust the issues to 11 iin who governs all. - - * Tlio fjpoitnvilht The public are indebted to the Greenville News for its dai y reports of the discussion, by Synod, of Dr. Wood row's theories of evolution. We have copied the reports entire, and we are glad to say that we believe them to be fair and iinpairtial without,|in any instance, showing the bins of the editor.

A merchant can't advertise too extenlively. It' there wore a half-dozen papers published in his town and he were to advertise in all of them he would certainly lot lose anything by it. The most suc:esslul merchants say it pays, and it does. Mr. John Widkman, of Cedar Springs, vrote an account of his trip to the late neetingof the Associate Reformed Synod md published it in the Associate lie/onn:d Presbyterian. It was written with sare and was quite interesting. White Brothers"have a very chpap and \ very attractive line of ladies cloaks, embracing jackets, New markets and Russian Circulars.

Our job office is well equipped with type necessary to the business. Brief work will receive special care and attention. Although cotton is coming freely to town the sellers of the staple seem to be spending very little money in the stores, l'he hard times admonish them to save ;heir ready cash. The town council are having the walks ibout town put in splendid condition for ;he winter. The walks and bridges toward Fort Pickens have received proper mention. The I)ue West infanticide cave was thrown out ot Court. Messrs. Miller and Benet had prepared their argument, but ;he grand jiny, saved them further trouble. "I heard his voice in the garden and was afraid, " was the theme of Mr. Ilanckels discourse on Sunday hist, rhe sermon was instructive and interestitig. Quite a number ot Presbyterians were it the Episcopal and Methodist churches last Sunday, Ms. Martin, the pastor of the Presbyterian church, being absent at Synod. There is a spirited race between Due West, Greenwood, Troy, and Magnolia, m to which of them will have the greatest gathering of Kedshirts on Saturday. Ws have two sermons on otir galleys. 3ne from Dr. Talma^e and one from Rev. J. Thomas Pate. They will appear as joon as we can tind room for them. We hope our Legislators may go slow, and not put many laws on the statute books. Too many laws do more harm than any lack of necessary laws.

J Tne grand jury returned no bill in the case aval list Josephine Lindsay and Harriet Cowan charge l witti murder. Tliis is tlie case of Infinticide. The c.ise ot the State against Vcnner Adams charged with 1 irecny of livestock, was now call -d. Venner Adams was chaiged with : | stealing a cow f om George W. Jones, ol tiio, Saluda side of the county, on the night <>f the j thirtieth of June la*t. 1 lie tesiimony in this > : case us gl\cu tiy such men as J. It. Magee, J.) N. Nance, John Newell, N. IS. Kay, went to j prove that Adams was in possession of the cow on the morning ol July 1st, ay he passed tlie blacksmith shop of Larkiu He.I. A little negro boy named Kmanuel i'oiieson te>tilled to having seen Adams pass (J. W.Jones' house late Monday evening, ol' ihe night on which tliecow was stolen, The defendant ini this case resorted io the common delenseofj" setting ui? alibi, (or, in oilier words, proving tiiat tie was S'i'iiewliere else at tlie time of the stealing.) He proved to some extent that tie ( was uowu on .Muiucrry ai me lime that It was alleged tliat lie passed Lark in Hell's blacksmith shop with the cow. The testimony would Hcem to be conflicting, but the .Solicitor , reconciled it, made It plain to the while Jurors, though he failed to convert the black Jurors to ills belief in ihe inaticr. After re- 1 iiiaininsc in the jury room all night the Jury . returned into court on Thursday inuruingand ( reported a mistrial, which was entered upon the minutes by I lie clerk.

Morris; indic;ed for assault and b.itie;y of a high and ' aggravated nature, was culled for trial. It. appealed from ihe evidence that .Mr. Alcwine, owner of a mill on llog Skin creek, nbove ; Due West, asked Morris for the rent dues " which lie was owing him. Taking into consiileraiion the hard times and the scarcity of , cash on hand at that time, Morris deemed Alewine's importunity as an Insult, and told his creditor "to go to hell, he would pay him . when he got ready,or when money was more plentiful. Instead of marching oil to . that place where it Is supposed overcoats are * not needed. Aiewine tarried, when emphatic ' words were followed by impressive blows.

The witnesses proved that he1 ^ j bail lived unlawfully with a woman near ? ; Ninety-six. lie was.found guilty, and the ' Jury, knowing the frailiy of the colored peoj pie In such eases, recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court. ( The case of the State against W'lllam San- *ders, alias Berry Kobblns charged with lar- . eeny of live stock. The Dioof in this case was to ttie effect that the aforesaid William San- . ders had been selling his neighbor's beef cat- 1 tie in the maiket al Abbeville, which beeves , lie had stolen. William Sanders because of his failure to employ an attorney, appeared , In his own detence, and excited no little nior- j 'r rlment in the court room by his manner ofi* cross questioning Ihe State's witnesses. (He I | hud 110 witnesses on Ills own behalf.) His ef! lort to c nvince thejury that he was merely it tool In disposing of the stolen property lor another tiiiin, on whom he attempted to fas- 1 I ten the sleullmr, was Ineffectual. It appeur! ed from the testimony that he had been before convleted ot a like otl'enee In Chester. Fr>m thU fact It will l?e seen that this Is not < the ttrst time that William Sanders has been ! " , Imposed upon by thieves, uml the sequel will ^ I show that It is not the last, as tlie very next ! case whieh was culled was a charge against i hitn of a like nature. The evidence in the last case being so overwhelmingly against him, he < made no effort to defend himself. I ( ! The ease of the State against Daniel Collins jt ; for carrying concealed weapons was next call- ?, 1 ed and tried. He was acquitted. M. L. Bon- ? ! liam, Jr., Esq., attorney. r FRIDAY MOHNINO. > 1 The case of the State against Rand Jackson, ' charged with house breaking In day time and larceny. It appears tlial Jackson, taking advantage of the absence of Mr. Joseph E Muii* . :day aud family from home, forced the win- * jdowsol his dwelling in order to possess hiin| self of a much admired double barrel sliot! guu belonging to the latter. The witnesses testified that lie was known to be in posses- J ; sion of that valuable > hooting iron. Mr. L>. C. Calveit, a very efficient constable, after being lold that there was no gun about the place | found the gun In a pile of cotton on the loft.' It appears that Jackson had disfigured the ' gun as much as possible, presumably to prevent detection. The mountings had been taken oil, and the varnish scraped otl the stock, wlilcli lie suilued with pokeberries. }<ut tor . all this, the gun was nevertheless idetititled as the property of Mr. Munday. As a rule the Inventive genius which the average negro thief possesses for the accounting foi any stolen property which may be found lu his pos-, I session is marvelous beyond measure and past finding out. When Constable Calvert! drew the sititi down from the lofi out of the | cotton, Jackson said: 'T lold you I didn't have;} a gun. Thai's Uncle Sam's gun." Hut later oi. in the investigation, lie admitted Unit the guu was his own, and ass? rted that he had bought it irom Mr. Hugh Munday. But the witnesses testified that be had returned the ? gun which he hud bought Irom Mr. Hugh Munday, because of his lallure to pay for it. , The Jury very properly convicted him.

The proof of his guilt was conclusive, and the Jury convicted him. c The case oi the state agulnst Keuben Works was for bigamy. It appeal's that lie hud married one Maggie Humphreys a year or two ago, near Greenwood, and that he afterward ? concluded that lie did not care to live with tlie same woman always, moved his residence from Greenwood to Ninety-Six, leaving his wife behind. He had not lived long at Nine- , ty-SIx before he won the susceptible heart of ' the unsuspecting Murthu Devoe, and they weie soon married by the Kev. Burgess, of the A. M. E. church, who testified to having perloiiiud the ceremony. Alter mature consld- J era t ion. the Jury concluded to recommend the court to send Keuben Works where he will not be likely to fool unother woman soon, und w here his heart no doubt, will yearn for theaf- t feet Ion ol u single wife. The case ot the State against William Williams was a charge of stealing some of Mr. t l h.iiley Bolt's corn Irom the field. Charley A ha lng tired of furnishing Williams Willi j .oru front the Held concluded, after a five c ..'s ti lal of the business, to cut off his supI lies from his field, though not without an eiiort to induce Col. Lipscomb to furnish him with both meal ami m^at. Williams1 fnltlir..i u*ui i.^i? - .... i.....is n^iiuuc uniua, wiin t.no neipof Lewis Gordon, made a desperate effort to. prove an a'ihi. Gordon sli'pt In the same! room with Williams the night the corn was stolen unil was positive that \VI Hams could not have let) the house without his ktiowl-J edtic, while Cinda was up until one or two; o'i'lou'k working 011 a quilt. She too was ter-j tain that Williams could not have left tliei house dial night, but tracks and ot-er things, together with the prisoner's confessions to the I coi's:nb:e who arrested him, left no doubt on the minds of the Jurors as to his guilt. The next was tl'ie .stuso against Men Bradley eharged with carrying concealed weapons. WUlie lie and Laura smith were on the road | from church one .Sunday, anuarrel took place.. The prisoner admitted that he put. his hand] where the pistol ought. to have been, but 1 where It was not. He denied most positive y j that he had a pistol, but said lie was obliced 1 to play a hlutl" uaiue In order to keep t':e| -rowd from eating I1I111 up.
