' " I'll I 1 IIII I ?he Press and Banner Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1886. Another Chapter. We present this week the preliminary skirmishes that hfive taken place before the rehearsal of the trial of Ferguson should begin. The various matters therein contained will no doubt be of some interest to the public. At any rate we have thought them to be of sufficient inierest to putourself to much trouble and to some expense to produce them. "We will make no promises as to whether we will repuousn ine whuuou y iiuu i>uc es that will go to make up the rehearsal. At present we are rather inclined to the opinion thnt it would be useless to reprint the testi-j mony, or to publish the speeches. We take j it for granted that every reader of the Press J 'and Banner is already familiar with the facts; In this case, and has made up his mind on! the guilt or innoccnce of the accused. ! Judge Witlierspoon. We presume it would not be amiss in the Press amd Banner to utter its admiration for Judse Wi.herspoon's conscientious and iin-j partial discharge of his delicate duties in the { Court* He is remarkably patient, and seeks j to hold the scales of Justice in exact equi-| poise. He Is an upright man and a conscien-1 tious Judge whose devotion to the rignt willj jilways command the respect of those wfco come in contact with him. Hcls the young- j est Judge on the Bench in South Carolina, ! but there are none who are more careful or : more determined to administer justice with' San impartial hand than Judge Witherspoon.! Conscientious and worthy officers give the people cause for congratulation. What to Do With Your Money. Persons who have money about their houses should deposit It in the burglar proof j -safe at the National Bank. We see that professional burglars are going tnto iron safes in i the stores, and it is certain that to keep money about the dwelling Is a standing offer to bad men to commit crtrne, wncreoy you muj lose both life and money. The Bank at Abbeville is a safe place of deposit. The officers will take good carcof your money, and allow you to draw ou it at your pleasure, without 'charge. Stenographer Aiken is the right man In the right place. The and Banner has reason to thank him for favors, which are favors indeed. Mr. Alkeii Is one of the most obliging of men, nnrl he writes short hand Xvitli ease. He makes a proper record of ev-i 'i?ry thing of which he Is required to make; note, and Is not backward about translating into plain English the figures that look to us very much like the hierogfy'phics ou Cleopatra's needle. Application for Mnndamns. On Monday night application was made 1o Juds:e Witherspoon at chambers for a man'damus against the town council of Pendleton, ' to require them to issue liquor license to H. CJ Summers. Mr. Scuddno represented the applicant, and Messrs. Moore A: Simpson, of Anderson, resisted th<* application. < The proceedinz is brought about by the re'ftisal of the council to grunt H. C. Hummers license 10 keep a saloon in Pendleton, basing their action on several zrounds, among (hem. that the council had decided to issue only -4?i. n. trtn.n rl t h n f \Tr 5slim? I HO ncniTCn in i'kiu i"..... ...v. . mers was not a proper person to be licensed, wid also upon their refusal to call a meeting I 'of the council again, so that, 1ip might renew j liis application, he having since his first ap- 1 plication, complied with the requirement of the law in such cases. The application contends that under the lo'eal option law, Pendleton having voted "License," the council cannot limit the number *0f saloons, and that, when he pays the county license, presents the bond and certificate signed by six t>ix payers, and pay;' the town license, that they have no discretion left in premises but to issue him the proper author'ity to sell spirituous liquors. ? Valuable Little Book. Owing to theConrt, proceedings !ast week we omitted to mention the re<?fcption of a splendid little book from the author, Mr. GeorgeC.! Hodees. It is a book of "Short Quotations" for the use of children in the schools, and no I book could be of more value to the child. This j .book contains the finest sentiments of the! best authors, and the commit'tins of such ex-! tracts to memory affords a mo/t beneficial exercise for the youthful mind. It is a book above price as to actual cos', but which is offered at the low price of fifteen centsacopv. | Wenre Kind tft learn that, there is a general de-: jnand for It In all parts of thedoiintry. Every ' child 6hould have one. EdsoflcldN Xcwupupep*. Edgefield already has two good newspapers, i 'and the report is published In the Aiirjvxla] Chronicle that, two other newspapers are to be Started in that county?one of which is to be ' of the migratory, variety? mar is. ir. isio ne published alternately at the different towns nti the county, ohe after tire other In snccs slon. The man who undertakes to publish a 'hewsnaper anywhere for the money which ho will make, has a. hard time of It. but when i* j com^s to makihtra wagon and team one ofi the permanent attachments, to haul the office1 albont, the job of making money by publish-! Ing the paper will he a herculean one Indeed. Accidental Shootings Master Allch fcmberson and Master John N. Pnitt were out hunting birds In theneighborhood of Level Land last Thursday, the 4th i Instant. Allen Emberson received a gun*hot | wound In the hip from tbe accidental dis-1 charge or a Remington rifle in the hands of, John X. Pratt. The ball is still In Allen Em-1 brrson,and lie is suffering greatly. Dr. Rob-, ?ert*on thinks that a piece of the bone of the j thigh must h:ive been split oft" by the bullet. J The wound Is thought to he a serious one,1 though It is hoped that it will not be a futal injury. ? Prompt Paying Snbserlher*. The Itarnwelf Sen'inrl has twelve hundred subscribers. The Prrgs an-i Rnnver has not so many, by about three hundred. The Sentinel acknowledges subscription* In the paper. Re- j tween December 1,188-r), and February 4. lRxti, j 48 subscribers had paid for the tontine/. In the j vame time 221 had paid subscription* for the | Prem* nnd Banner, as follow?:: In December, 1 1W; in January, 114; first three days of Kebru- i ary, 27. As a rule, subscribers to the Pre*.*' /rrui Banner make It. a point, to pay. Their j promptness is a matter of pride to us* OsKission. In making mention of the assignment of Messrs. Cunningham ?fc Templeton week be-fore last, we inadvertantly omitted the names i of the attorneys, Messrs. PeBruhl & Bradley, j who drew the papers Incident to the transac-1 tion. These gentlemen beimr able and paiustHkinK lawyers, they are safe couusellors in 1 ?I1 questions of law. For th^se reasons our I friends Messrs. Cunningham & Templeton se-1 lected them for the transaction oi their law j business. Look Out. "As sure ns the poind trrows on the vine, i I drawed you tor my valentine." If youthful lovers and heart-stricken maid* > Tns desire to buy somethinga*sthetic let them go to Messrs. II. W. Luwson it Co., where the j prettiest and most divinely charming vaien-j Tines that ever greeted the eye or gladdened ! the heart may be found in the greatest piofu* j ?iun. History of tlic Associate Reformed i Synod. We have on our table a copy of this valua- j ble book by the Rev. Robert Lathan, I). I). I We have not yet. read It, but from a hasty 1 glance at It, we are impressed with the fact! that it Is a most, excellent, work? n storehouse in which all important historical facts concerning the Associate Iteformed Church amy be found. ?. Cutting Scrape in i'nkesbnry.

This was a generous act, at" which the people hereabout are much plpasedv Mr. Cunningham had uiven up ev. ery ccnt's worth of his property, including his bed room furniture, but which latter ttie cred1 tors would not take. Creditors have souls, after all. Mr. and Mrs. j. W\ Scott, o! Verdery. &. 0., after spending several days at the Central Hotel in this city returned yesterday to their home. Mr. J. W.

Cunningham ?&Tcmpieton on Friday morning, when the store was opened land the goods offered for sale at cost. We i learn that something likeSfiOO, worth of goods | were sold at retail for cost. There has not i been a rush similar to this at any store. It seems that people were waiting for a favoraible opportunity to buy goods.

The Abbeville "Wholesale Store is receiving from their Western houses larsre shipments of corn, meat, meal and flour.
