Hi Press and Banner, j AIUJEVILLK, S.C. Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1885. j * i Tl??> Aiuustft ('hrOniclc. It soi'rr s to lie si ?ro:tt pily that tlio Awjnxta T'hr-inirh- cannot persuade tin- whole of our jMniile that it possesses a monopoly of j t?trioti-.ni, iitul Is more Interested in South Carolina ami the uvllsire of its citizens, 111:1 it ntv whoso **li<interest* arc identical with Ik-i people and their liest interests. Tlie <>I<1 Uoilgo of arraign ing other newspapers t>y insinuation or innuendo, while acting in such I a manner us to impute hail motives to those Whose patronage may bo sought, is an ohl | virtl. which has already been pl.iyeit tor all it j Is worth. If one merchant disparages the value of an-' otiier's goods, if a doctor sneers at the ability j *?f a competing doctor, if one lawyer under- ! rates the attainments of another, the public, are seldom so blind as not t??see, or so dull as tiot to attribute, a motive, and we presume it s the sarin- with newspapers ami newspaper i'wuU'rs. What man is it that cannot under | Maml t lie motive that prompts one ncwspn-i per to attempt to undermine the character 11 ml worth of its competitor? Of one thins wo are perfectly certain, however, the people nre good Judges of newspapers, and we have yet to learn where a spiteful newspaper has over succeeded in drawing one subscriber from the newspaper which it would traduce. ]f the Axijnxtn Chronic!*' hopes to alienate our j people troin their own newspapers, in order Mint an outside paper.which can have hut lit- j tie other Interest in their welfare than the1 Mihscrlptlons which it may secure from them, j 1t luis something yet to learn ol our people, -and much to master in the newspaper husi?ivss. The Chroniclr Is published in the State W tleorui.i, and if It feels able lo compete with the competitors it finds in its own State, we presume It would have its hands full. ?f our friend across the river would allow a fullest Ion, we would say tbat our people appreciate a newspaper for its worlh and for lt> . high principles, mm niu mr us insinuation* i or Its Intermeddling with allalrs In which it; cm in noway bo interested, except to get a i subscription. Sm far as we arc infbrmed the newspapers of! ><mith Carolina have the good will of tlicohl j Slate at heart, ami we have beard of no other intimation than that thrown out by tliel chronicle that any one of them Is not true to }icr best, interests, except possibly now and then, when a competitor who may seek to ad-1: vance Ids own Interests by some article in ! which It might hope to create the impression on the people that it was more loyal and more patriotic than the newspaper whose good liame It would seek to stab, and upon whose patronage it may hope to administer. We earnestly trust to see the day when no man In South Carolina who reads a newspaper may be deceived by unsupported assertions or baseless Insinuations ag.iinst a brother newspaper. We yield to the Augusta Chro.iiclc full credit for being good and patriotic at' heart, but wo positively deny that it Is any better or any more patriotic than any newspaper in South Carolina, yea, not even thej newspapers which It would Injure. The hum- ] ( blest paper In this State is Justus good and j < Just ns honest ns it is. ami it Is nothing short , ? 1 ' of presumption on Its part to attempt to rem!, < any member of the South Carolina Press out | < of the Held of respectable and honorable Jour- J lialism in order that it may get a subscriber. < We refer to the "subscriptions," because we I do not believe the Augusta Chronirle Would j j commit a gross wrong u|H>n any newspaper < in any State, unless there was an interested ' nw.iivo w*,. trust hereafter when the .1 itrju.t' i - ta Chronicle proposes to arraign a great, number of our newspapers, that it may give ttie names of at least soinc of those against whom It casts its flings. Arc We Afrni<l of (ho North ? I The war lias been over for twenty years and j j it seems to lie time for South Carolina to take |' n proud place among the suites, the equal of't nny other State. We think thetlmchas pass- | ?>d, If it ever existed, when it is necessary to > express any fear that the North may IInd out ] i the real condition of a (Fairs down south. We! r do not think any one would Intentionally i conceal any facts, but it really seems to us i that there is a patriotic disposition on the j part of some Journalists In the South to ma- n Jign any journal which may Beck for a better c enforcement of the laws, even though our c laws may he as fearlessly enforced as are the t laws In any State. Why this objection to a higher standard of morals and government? ( Is It that popularity may be gained? The n newspapers that would seem to be excessive* t Jy patriotic nre satisfied if we compare notes c with the Northern State* as to the enforce- |< merit of the criminal laws, while the laxity f of morals in the Northern States seems to be ( n matter which they would at other times n roll as a sweet morsel under their tongues. L k Another objection to the speaking out for a K better enforcement of the law is brought out 3 j* in reference to Immigration. It Is urged that 11 K Immigrants will not come, If we speak out; ( about these matters. For our own part, thejs ^ iiiunU'rants nrc welcome toslay away, If they J cannot come under a full knowledge of all the] facts. We would prefer that the taxable property of South Carolina should remain as it Is, In the hands of our own people, than to transfer It to strangers and have it assessed at any j price, t:o matter how high. South Carolina belongs to us and to our children, and we have no desire to transfer It to strangers. We think it about time for those who may he disposed to conccal crime, or to assert that j the law is enforced, to give some facts, and show wherein the law has been enforced for homicides. A knowledge of the fact that | homicides have becu committed is not want- j ing. Now, let those who may seek a little j cheap notorieey by defending murderers or in assailing the members of the press who desire a restoration of law and order give 6ome facts of convictions for murder. These are not questions of sentiment, but are matters of public record, about which there should be no dispute as to facts. Jf tho law lias been en. t forced in any county of South Carolina, let us have the facts, as to the killings and tlio hangings. We can give the particulars for Abbeville county. ?? I; Railroad From Kllx-rton to Cnlnotiti. j We are reliably In Conned thata number of M capitalists signed a contract lust week, who | )ii the aggregate, subscribed a sufficient sum of money to grade the road from Klberlon, Georgia, to Enrighl's store, in Abbeville County. We are further reliably Informed 1 hat Col. James Ed ward Calhoun has signed the right of way, one hundred feet wide I through his lands In (Georgia and South Car-) olina, being about four miles on this side,] beside his Georgia lands. Col. Calhoun, as a lurlher contribution to the good work, is contemplating the construction of tin-! bridge across Savannah Klverathls own expense?he having all the granite and timber on Ills own place, which may be necessrry toi build It. lie is one of the richest men in this! counly and Is abundantly able to do whatever he undettakes, and the best of It all Is, j that Ills Immensely valuable lands and wa-1 tor power could be utilized if the road is con-1 utructed, and lie would not be loser by any! sum that lie might give. If Colonel Calhoun j carries out his present intention the depot' where ttic road Joins the Savannah Valley | road should be called Calhoun, and then, he, j like the grout McCormlck, would have a mon-1 uineut to his memory, for which generations j yet unborn would bless him. The sentiment! or the age Is more utilitarian now than ever betore, and practical men care less to have useless piles of granite, than they do to have a monument which will live forever and IiIoku Hip nf>inilf ami ihe country for all time. | An Cyrus H. McCormlok, In tlio town of I McCormlck, has a monument more lasting I than brass, so would Colonel Calhoun have I n monument greater than the pile of stone thut was recently erected in Washington to Iho memory of the father of his country, anil which cost untold wealth. Hy tlie construction of the road from Klber1on to Calhoun, and from Ku right's Store to Abeville, a town with all the advantages of competition would be built up,and Abbeville' . vould become a railroad centre, whose ad- j vantages and facilities would not be excelled anywhere in this section. If our own pco-j pie would make the effort we are sure that; they could accomplish this desirable result.' With cross roads at Calhoun it would become! the highway for nearly all the travel In this! country. I* it (tie Itiiwn of a New lira ? Judge Witberspoon. at Chester, recently refused bail to a gentleman who had slain his; neighbor, and the aforesaid gentleman is now I put to the inconvenience or mortification ol j leaving his business to lie in jail until Court | Khali convene. This, we believe, is the first' n I|:1S llfcll II'flis d bull, and we hail the event with no Utile satisfaction, as Indicative of a determination on the part of onr Judges in the future to lend no encouragement to the crime ol ninr-j ^ di r. When the slayer ceases to reccive aeertilieato from the Judges that the proof is not ^ evident nor the presumption great of their' guilt, and when they must at least suller the Inconvenience of going tojail, we think there will be less killing, even if our Juries should continue to acquit, as heretofore. Wo trust that Judge Witherspoon may preserve the! even tenor of his way, and do nothing to aid; Iho slayers of their neighbors, in these times of profound peace, to escape justice. m i m i A pnrtrlilc* in York Iiuh t:ik''n charge "f two young cliirkear.iitiil U'hfli nil was inmlu to cii|>tmv the pliirKs tin- usually wily Mril showed Ihrlit.?CoI umbiti Ri curci.

The Cyclone in Charleston. Charleston was visited Tuesday of hist week jy a storm of great severely, (Joins; much In- j tiry to property in every part of the city. The total damage has been estimated at somehingovera million of dollars. All classes of property was damaged and people In every nation of lifesulleriil loss. As a consequence, nany poor people are greatly distressed. To elieve this distress the .Xcws a-id Courier has nade arrangements to lend small sums of noney to helpless sutlerer* at a low rate of ntere-t, and without cost of papers. This ict on the part of the AVir.vand OwnVvsliould mil car It to all the people of the city and ommoml it lo the kindly consideration of he people every where. The Xcwn cintl Qmricr has displayed wonlerful ability and energy In publishing full ind accurate accounts of the damage done b.v he storm, which ability and energy is only Hiialieil by the promptness generosity and tindncssof that paper toward the poor in ofering help to the helpless. The ?Vctw and *turi<:r is not only a pride to the .State, but Is ilso a benefactor to the city In which it Is tublished. Wc cannot but express our admiration for ilavor Courtenay's reply to the .Mayor of Coumbia in which lie ex|frc.ssed the belief that Charleston could take care of her helpless ull'erers. This was the manifestation of a iob!e spirit, and worthy of all emulation >y sufferers elsewhere who may have susallied loss by fire or flood, but who nay expect others to make good their nisfortunes. When we read of Charleston's '"' ti loss wo felt the desire to do something o relieve the city wlitcli lias so often contiib-J iteil of her bouiity, to ilic relief of distressed i >eople in every part of the State. Charleston ins ever been generous and kind to the digressed, and even if we are poor ourselves and inubie to give substantial relief, yet all of us an at least, cherish u kindly sympathy for >ur distressed brethren 011 the coast who lever turned a deal ear to any worthy object >f sympathy or charity. We sincerely hope hat Charleston may hi the future rise to :rander achievements than she ever won beore her misfortune. May better fortune I11 he future attend the good old city, and may he recent sufferers individually reach a high, r degree of ease, prosperity and happiness linn they ever enjoyed before the storm.

We have sufficient criminal laws in South Carolina, and for the crime of murder the death penalty is prescribed, but our Courts seldom convict. Since lietnocratie reconstruction in l.s-ii, we have had in Abbeville county thirty-three homicides, (we can furnish names and dates,?and we have had but 1 two hiinginxs (una we cuu iiihumi iuu |miticularsof those.) If all these killings were Justifiable in law and equity, then is it not a reflection on our civilization, that we should have had so many citizens whom It was nec- j essarv for their neighbors to kill ? Is it not a little singular ttiat no man with murderous j Intent should have killed his man? Is it not! it strange thins that the quiet, peaceable, in-1 offensive citizen, that Is taken unawares, should invariably In; able to kill a murderous neighbor before the dangerous, bad man could get. in any shooting at all? Just think of it. Thirty-three homicides. Two hangings. These arc bare facts. We leave the public to say whether two hangings out of thirty-three hotnlcldes is an enforcement of'.lie law, or whether it is a reflection on our citizen^il|> to say that all these people, with two exceptions, deserved to tie shot and killed.

The importance of trade In Carolina phos plialo-' and fertilisers can hardly be over estimated.

This is a ttinsl I encouraging exhibit, and the fulness of the j hope ami confidence which il Justifies will be realized by those who study (juicily the figures of which the result is composed. I Tha outlook for t he planters and farmers i? singularly favorable, although not quite a> joyous as it was a few weeks ago. i in the ha,:is of the August reports il was calculated thai i ihe cotton crop for lss'i would amount to 7<i, j o.n) bales; hut the reports received last night, I which take into account the injury eU'eeled J by the caterpillar and unfavorable seasons, j reduce the probable yield to (iS'.i.ntKi bales. The I indications are that there wilt bean nnpreeei dented yield of corn, am<uitiling to over 17I ui i.ikin bushels, and t hat. taken alt one! her. the ; agricultural condition of the state should he j tu t tor at I lie close of the present year than at any previous lime since lsr.it. I The sea island crop, which Is so important I to Charleston, was injured terribly by the j worm and I he recent cyclone,so that sin csti| mate of fi.O'nt bans as tin* yield of this State is i now retarded as liberal, indeed, most, of the estimates of the planters run far below this, and it is calculated by co il observers that the normal yield will hi/ diminished by at least one-half. The loss is felt in its fullest extent by the colored planters, whose crops generally are lost altogether. It is hoped that the diminution in the yield will be compensated in some measure by an Increase in the price, as no other description of the lloecy staple can, for particular purposes, take the plaee of the exquisite cotton grown 011 the Carolina coast. And so, looking to the future with calm and I brave regard,Charleston sees nothing to daunt I or discourage her in I he way in which her feet are set. The worst t rials, we sincerely believe, I arc behind us, and Hie road rises fair and clear before. The city will press on ward in the race for the prize of commercial supremacy I with even more ardour and hope than were ! incarnate in the drear struggle with adversity. I more is a spirit in tuts puicntnmi i>romi j now city which has sustained her when many | another would have yielded to despair, :iud eeascd to strive. That spirit is tinkling in every vein to-day, and is lelt in every nerve and lllirc of the lnir.ine.-s coininuuity. The sign.-, and tokens of a new life are as plentiful and lair to see as are the bursting htuls in spring. The roots nf Charleston's prosperity are si ruck j (K-ep and wide in the soil ol the Slate and the South. And hy the signs around us we know llial the time ?>f the coining of abundant fortune is al hand. INiullry i;i the Kotiili. Among the new considered small interests of the South is thai, ol poultry.

The form of pavement that is used in Lorn 'don and Paris, and hut little if any in this i country, is thus described by H.

The top surlaeo describes 11 | gradual curve from curb to curb like Ihe surface made by the piescnt system, on this bed ; are set endwise pine blocks, kyatii/.cd or boil' I ed in cold tar, with an upper surface of lliirt.v , [square inches and vertical leiiglh of seven 01 ! eight inches. Those are placed a little apart, | and the spaces between are tilled with Komaii 'I cement tempered properly with sand, whi -h ?! being swept, leaves a smooth surface.

Mj An Ingenious Device.?An Ingonl^B French device for removing wqH| produced by the condensation^? steam in pipes, is among the reccnt^M ventions, and consists of an entra^^ pipe, an exit pipe for the water, a ilout balanced by a counter wei^H and resting on the surface of wa^| which accumulates in the lower p^| of the vessel. The action of the clianism is entirely automatic. As^B float is raised by the addition of wat^J a pinion on the shaft, on which its turns, engaging in a rack, elevate^B slide valve, and eo opens the esct^f orifice. The water then flows out iH| til the float falls low enough to slH the valve once more. It is sugges^J that a device of this kind, attached H the steam-heating apparatus of H building, would doubtless prevent tlH disagreeable clacking and hamm^J Ingdue to the water forming in tH pipes, and the consequent injtfl to the latter arising from repcutH trains. fl TURKEY'S NAVAli"STEEXGXH. B The military contributor of tfl Cologno Gazette observes, in an aiH cle on the navies of the MeditenH nean,that by far the strongest na'9 rower on that sea is Turkev. All tH Ironclads of her fleet aro of recent cc etruction, and most of them lia come from the best English sh! builders; the German Ironclad Koi WUhelm. was originally built for t Turkish Government. The plates the Turkish ironclads are from 51-2 8 inches thick (two of the casema ships have 9-inch plates), and they a armed with 8-inch and a-lnch Wo< wich * muzle-loadera, and Kru] breech-loaders. Turkey has fo Ironclad frigates of 3,050 hor power and G4 guns, six casemate shl each of 700 horse power and 6 gun and threo turret-ships of 1,200 hot power and 11 guns, making In all i teen Ironclads with 9,250 horse pow and 116 guns. To these sho'ild 1 added threo Ironclad gunboats of 2 horse power and six guns on tl Danube, and two ironclad gunboa on the Lake of Scutari, each with horse pever and two guns. The sere ships are ilso for the most part we built and equipped. They consist < four ships of the line, thirteen frigaU and corvettes, twenty-two avisos, an twenty-seven gunboats and coastlr vessels, besides 101 transport ship all largo and mostly well armed. Tb actual strength' of the available fle< of Eussia on the Black Sea cannot ( present ibo accurately estimated, bi the writer thinks there can be n aouDt that it la rar interior to that ( the Turkish fleet. Austria has fou ironclad caeemato ships of 3,600 hors power and 60 guns, and seven iror clad frigates of 4,050 horse power an 980 guns. Three of these ships, how ever, are now being rebuilt, and moa of the others do not fulfill the requin ments of modern naval warfare, eithe as regards the thickness of their plate or the calibre of their guns. This r< mark applies even more to the Italia Ironclad ships, several of {which are t be sold by auction this month, in or der to obtain funds for constructlnj new ones more suitable to modern re quirements. JJOVEL TKlLtTMENT FOB WOUNDS. Having noticed an account of th< somewhat novel treatment, rccentlj applied In the caso of a wound, w< addressed a noto of inquiry to the gen tleman named, Mr. A. K. Smoot, a com mission merchant of Baltimore, and ro ceived a reply, a portion of which with permission, we copy. Mr. Smooi says under ciate or eeprcmDer "On tho 7th of tho present month 1 accidentally jumped from an elevation of three or four feet on a largo nail 01 spike driving it about two and a half inches through my foot. Thia happened in the morning, and toward evening the foot commenced swelling and the pain increased, so much so that it was with difficulty my physicians, Drs. Atkinson and Warner, could relievo me by the use of tha strongest narcotics. I slept but little during the night. The next day tha samo treatment wus continued, with the application of a hop poultice to the wound. On {that day I received a card signed 'Sympathizer,' stating that the smoke from burning wool or woolen rags would immediately relieve t.ho pain, and stop the inflammation. Tho directions wore to smoke the wound twenty minutes at a time, repeating the operation two or three times ) accordingly took a piece of wooler blanket, and after making a Are in ai iron pot I smothered it with pieces of tho cloth and held my foot in th< smoke. This soon relieved the pain, the swelling went down, and up tc tho present time thero has been scarce' ly any innuiniuauon ; ?, muu mwu/; water has escaped from the sore, but that is all. My physicians approved of the treatment, and I well know it relieved ine of pain, and has proved a groat advantage in the healing of thfr wound. I am now able to walk, and the wound is doing well, I applied the smoke once every day, and by the advice of my physicians continued the hop poultice. The treatment with tb? smoke is said to be applicable to all wounds arising from bruises, cuts, nails, and the like, and I hope it may prove beneficial to others."-* llcrald of Health. c PREVENTING ESCAPE OF HEAT. Experiments have been made in France to ascertain what kind of coat" ing best prevents the escapo of heat frora steam-pipes.

Tha next best way is a pottery pipo largo" enough to cover the steam-pipe and^. leave an air space; the pottery was coated on the outside with loamy earth and chopped straw, kept in place by straw bands twisted round the pipo. This reduced the loss sixty-one peff cent. The next was cotton-waste, which, wrapped round the steam-pip? to an inch thick, reduced tho loss fiftyone per cent. Tho next was waste felt from printing machines, under which the reduction was forty-eight per cent,; and ths last was forty-five per cent, with a plaster made of cows'hair T?V*\IM?{? /\nta rt /I/\ Ti'ltU A una wia> tenia mau<j wnn t? view to tost the effect of color showed that the coatings when painted white reduced the loss a further seven per ?ent.
