Ike Press and Banner I By Ilujjh Wilson. I Wednesday, May 27, 1885. I I. ill a Hurst. This yomu lady gav.? au entertainment In! the Court HouseUst Wednesday night to the tlelight of spectators and to the profit of ttie performer. Iler manager, Mr. Atkinson, lier mother and herself occupied the stage or J elevated platform which had been erected for the display of her marvelous powers. The manner of Miss Hurst's performance was seen so differently by so many that we hesitate togiveourown version of this entertainment. Let it be undcr.sto<>d that we have no dispute witli anybody on the subject. It Is only because we believe that each individual Is allowed the freedom of Ills own eyes, und the right to express his own convictions u ud to state the result of his own observations, 1 hat we make any statement at all. Nearly everybody seems to believe that she iiosesses an extraordinary power, which Is not shared in by ordinary mortals, while we believe hen tricks were nothing more nor less than artful | manipulation of muscular force against those 1 who had been placed at the greatest disud- j vantage that urt could conceive. Mr. Atkinson's s|>ecch nud his inanoeu-j vers throughout the performance afforded no [ inconsiderable part of the fun, and we thinki some of our young gentlemen might undertake to prepare then-selves for a reel til ion of IllSSpeeCU, llCCompauiL'U II Ii;|n:uiii?i vt k?v j movements of the gentlemen. Such a re-i bear-sal would ntt'ord a delightful private cutcrtalnment. The audlcncc seemed exceed-1 Ingl)' pleased and greatly mystitled l>y the, Young l:idy's!wonderfiU pcrfomanee. She and j her marvelous power were all the talk next. i ?lay, and wo hel leve there were few who did! not think licit the young lady possessed some [ other power than a r-killful exercise of muscular force. The I'reu and Manner :s in a. hopeless minority, but doesn't Intend to fall. *>nt with any friend on account of bis entertaining different views. While it Is a fact that Miss Hurst delighted her audience, yet we think the idea of attrlblit I nir to iter supernatural or any other power which is not jKissesscd hy any other person, loa greater or less extent, a great mistake. I She is a woman of pood physique, who l.as ex- j crelsed herself In the practice of her tricks, j Until she has developed art in lite perform*i mice of feats which require strength, and has been no le>* proficient in acquiring n knowledge of the art of placing others at the greatest disadvantage. In our opinion her tricks were perfectly npparant to one who sat near lo her. and watched her movements. She always kept those with whom she had i-ontests between herself and 1 lie audience,' nnd the audience had not. ihe opportunity lo i obscrverve as closWy ns one who was near her and at her side. The first act with the chair j whs nothing more nor less than a scuttle be-i 1 ween herself and the gentleman who held It, and in this engagement the lady come out ?In our way of thin king-second best. Other | gentlemen held the chair and the young lady retrieved her lost ground from the fact I that they were less aggressive or less deter-1; mined?and |K>rhaps less powerful. Tliei Wrongest mail in town could not hold n chair still against the efforts of any ?>.? MnHr ? ?? !>, !,I a* I.ulu directed. The trick with tlie inn-1 iirullu was to our ml ml mi cxcecdlnuly | vlmple cine. Open an umbrella, let another ' tnjrsoti gmcp the stick In the middle with ' litnds four or five Inches apart, and then tuke the stick in your own bunds, grasping it til the extreme lower end and at a point near t he ribs. 'It will be an en?y job to shako the titnbrellaas Miss Hurst did. L?t another per- 1 M>ntnk?n billiard cue near the centre and 1 then take It near the ends your>elf and see If 1 lie c?n bold it still or prevent you from giving him severe pushes. The lilting of several persons in the chair can he done by nny- < IkmIv. Let the person in the chair brace lite feet i against the floor, and grasn tfie rounds of the! 1 sent firmly on each side, 'i'hcti you can pull \ the chair backwards until the front posts are I two or three Inches Irom the floor. After this: i Jsdone merely pimh forward and the person j Trill rise brlniMne the chair with him?no i matter how many persons may be sitting on | I lils knees?if tliey arc facing tiie person In the ; 1 chair. |< The whole of Miss Hurst's tricks nre nrlful-1 )y done, and |?icasing lo the audience who are 11 Mttlng at a nci?, but. in our opinion, there ; J* not In any of her tricks, the least evidence j' of Dower or strength which is not possessed in I j a greater or less degree by everv other person. i The stories of the miraculous throwing of h chairs, and dishes, the putting of a saw lo^ ! j on iiwason merely by the touch of the 11 hand and the teailng or parasols by odici force or the escape of electricity are nil J the sheerest drafts upon the credulity or,' the listener. Tlie only wonder to us Ik, that anybody who hits h:t'i a fair oppor-j' lunlty to witness her movements should be deceived. The audience in front, and at] n distance trotn her, however, could >. not Judiceof the physical exertion which was | necessary on her part to perform botuu of the feats. I We believe there Is nothing wonderful about | this whole matter, except the case with which j Mis* Hurst devolved lier audience, hut as we; said before, we do not intend to f;ill out with j any of our friends on this subject. j The Abbeville Fruit Drying: Compn* : nj ? .V ?w Enterprise. | The Monarch Fruit Dryer which has been! on exhibition in our town for tlie past two j weeks Is now being manufactured here. Wei ?iro glad to s'-c this enterprise in our town. If! it will do all that it is represented il will be a j Rr#i*i thins for our farrm-rs. KvHporated fruit command ready sale in the Northern markets, and it will be a source <>f revenue to those who cng igo lu the business. Reports from the Sta'.e of Xort.li Carolina show that a vast deal of money running up i to over one hundred thousand do'lure Is the j annual iuconie from black herrics alone in that State. There Is no better country for; this product than our country. Il is a crop,',, that rarely ever falls. Th--y arc easily galii-1 f riVM UHU I MC uunig uuw i IIV uwouivn | of drying black berries will not only makej money, but will iilau Imvc Hie pleasure of af-' fording employment to many now who are ; Ifllcre in our street* Peaches, pears, apples, nnd In fact all kinds 1 ?if fruits arid vegetables, It N claimed can be saved with but little trouble by uMns: this] dryer. Farmer*. think or Hi! anil instead of < limiting your fruit to a distillery, when the yieM Is about one In seven, dry your fruit' when the yield Is much larger; bring it to our town wh<re. we understand, a firm In the mercantile bu?iuess will be prepared to pajIn cash from ten to fifteen cents per pound for K.

We learn thatsoine of our friend* front Due I West who witnessed Miss I.ulu Hurst's ex-! bibltion Inst Wednesday niprht were extremely anxious to get her toco to their town with lier wonderful force, and her funny manager, i Trevlous engagements <lenled the lady the| pleasure and profit of 'lifting" our friends In t that classic town, but anybody who wilier Wednesday night can do the san>e tricks which she performed. If they will only follow Ihe Instrustlons given In our article on that performance, while taking due hred to the hints given in another article, which Is copied from an exchange pa|>er, our disappointed friends may be comforted. There Is nothing nt all strange In Miss Lulu Hurst's perforinnnce except the fact that so many of our people were deceived by the antic capers audi misleading speech of her mannger. Her JexlilWUon of strength was more apparent: than reaL * ; The only art In llie performance consisted in the misleading speech by Mr. Atkinson,' nnd in Miss Hur*t's de^terlous exhibition or! it little physical force over the man who had been placed at a disadvantage. In every In-: stance those who tested her strength were placed at a disadvantage, and then were expected to do the Impossible? hold utill while i ' . tin able-bixlled lady manipulated the chair,! Kilck or umbrella. ! If there Is a fifteen year old boy in Hue: West, who saw Miss Hurst, and will read our! naner this week, and then, ufter an honest ef-1; fort, fall todo her tricks, we will scud him the ji Prca* and Banner fur one year, lrce of charge. < Don't Lny the Itlnme on Provt-' \ denee. j The liealth committee appointed by the'J town council will soon start on their tour of j' Inspection. Let every lot owner try to have! the cleanest lot, and not try to see how much i! lllth It will require to command the attention 1 of the town authorities. Let It not be forgot- , ton that all fevers come from filth In either j the water or the air. If you poison your well, or set loose the pestilence staikcth abroad at 1 noonday, you need not expect to escapo due , punishment in the visitation to your habitation by sickness, doctors, death, and under- 1 takers These visitors Imply great cost In , suffering, doctor's bills, and funeral expenses. As a matter of economy. It would be well to clean your lot, and see that no lllth runs into your well. When pereons neglect the rules of j health. It Is unfair to lay the blame on Providence. Providence never will punish a fami- , ]y with typhoid fever?if the observance of cleaniinos and thr-Jlaws of health are strictly regarded. It is tilth, and not Providence, that seuds typhoid lover. 1 The ItniiiM. j During the Inst week, commcnelng onTues i An\r u-o Kni'o hiiH iIia mr?Kf (lt>Hch f fill rulnR that over visited this section of the country, and the effect upon vegetation has been magical. The temperature has been high ranging berween W) and UO degrees Fahrenheit, and moderate showers have fallen every day and night. The rapid growth or garden nnd field crops has been a subject of remark by | every one. Even the early sown cmia which were far advnnced, have been greatly benefitted. white the Spring oats havo come out i wonderfully. The wheat has been much benefitted. The corn and cotton received a first rate start, and with the gi>od season now In the ground, much of which Is to wet to plow, the growth will bo most ranid. While the crops are growing, the grass Is making good time, and the greatest effort of the farmers I will bo necessary to prevent the unweloomc crop from taking posesslon of the cultivated Jfcrtd. One thing, which Is greatly in the farmer s favor U the fact that np to the beginning of the rain, they were never better up wltn their work. "Aiieep for an Hour." Mr. Thomas B.

REENWOOD, ABBEVILLE, ATHENS AND \ ATLANTA. ? t Xo Morr" tJives Some Very Interr.itlng Fnct* lu Itoforciicc to this HOIKI, nun nnunx luviuinnrm ^ or Biilldln; the C'nrolliin, Cumberlanrt (!np and Chicago Railroad. 'ditor Pre** and Itannsr: Afler having cautioned your rentiers against I t schemes, we now come to our protnie of last week, vl/.: to present the advautacs of the Greenwood, Abbeville, Athens and .tlatiia ll:iIIroad. It.v consulting the maps of .South C'arollna nd Georgia, uny sensible man can see at a lance the great advantages of such a line to lie people of Abbeville village and the S.iamiali section. Think of the Immense water-powers on the avatinah and llroad rivers that would be pened up, as well as the great body of ne lands now lying idle. Everybody nows that railroads open up a country nd brlni! settlers day alter day till the ' hole route Is brought under cultivation, t'e imagine at times that such a railroad -ould add millions upon millions to the ealtli of tiie two States, did ltdo no more nan be tiie means of utilizing the water owers of the Calhoun Shoals ontlie Savanah, and tho Anthony Fulls 011 tho llroad ilvcr. The State geologist. Prof. Little, of Georgia ijs that the Anthony ShoaN on Itroad Itlvr have a total fall of ninety feet in one mi.e nd a quarter. Calculation shows that these shoals would leld in the aagrosrate fifty thousand liorseowcr at the small cost of forty thousand oliars. It would be far superior to tiie Augusta nna'., which only yields fourteen thousand orse power at the fcarlul cost of two luillion oliars. The.-e falls arc worth no more than the Caloun Shoals, as would be shown If South aiolina was able to have a State geologist to mil mi Kiirh facts. Wo can conceive of no!. i-etlon of the.South with a liner opportunity ( u capitalists to Invent their vast fortunes. These two shoals if developed would equal ^ ,owell in every re>peet, hut without a rtiiluad the waters of these rivers will go on bub- j ling by idle and unutilized. O! for u railroad from Greenwood by ; hy of Abbeville over these shoals and n by Athens to the "Gate City," Atlanta. s hen why not be sensible men and put the 't oor tax payer's .money In this enterprise? ,et the voters (^'Abbeville Township think M ills matter over, and repudiate this Great liituin fraud now and forever, and hulld with j lie tax money the nrst link of this grand nterprlse. v The Greenwood, Abbeville, Athens and At- | inta road would split In twain ihe monied v louopoly and ringed parasites that now eningle a tree trade and rapid eommerce. To take our tax money and hulld the road >Greenwood, would at onco bring compel In? i eight and passenger rates to Abbeville over r le Georgia Central. This would burst the J* ppressive Clyde monopoly and give Abbe- JJ I He advantages equal-to Greenwood. The mollna, Cumberland Gap and Chicago road 1 in never do that?then why throw away tax loney? The Due West. Abbeville nnd Troy road Is lcomprehetislble, and an enigma In ruilroad Ircles In Ameriba, but we suppose Great trillan understands such railroading. J,et us compare the touching points of the wo projected lines, and see the good senso In lie Greenwood over the Aiken route. From .hbeville we pass over rough grouim till we jaeli Troy, and there find a cross-road town, 'roni Troy to Kdgefleld we see on the road 1 othlng enehuntiug, and In the village of J Idgefleld things are very little better. From Idgcfleld to Aiken your readers know the nun try as well as we do and therefore comlent is unnecessary. Aiken itself don't 'ant tbo road as ll refused lu vote the tax? very sensible thinq. Now think of the Greenwood route and see >*hat It is to give. Greenwood is progressive nd is already a strong trading center, and :?on will have it* wholesale houses. The Georgia Central has put freights and c ires so low that no village canTompete with p lerchants at that point. Greenwood wants C s to come there and we ought to go. Compare Troy with Elbcrton, Kdgefleld rlth Athens and you sec the nonsense most;< mphatically tlie nonsense or tiic Carolina, * uniberltind Gap and Chicago road, to say othlng of the macniflcient water powers of he Savannah and Broad Hivers. 1 ]*et us be sensible tax payers and save our oincs from jnorlguges.
