The Press and Banner Wednesday, March 17,1886. Vol. MXLIX. The Southern Christian Advocate and the Trc.t7ej/an Christian Advocate are-using valuable space In their respective papers discussing the the question as to the right or wrong of the Wesleyan putting "Vol. L," at the head of its paper. From our way of looking at it, this quarrel has less principle or importance involved in it than any quarrel that we remember to have seen in any newspaper since the beginning of our journalistic carcer. Wecontend that the in strycm or any other paper may even go further and put "Vol. MXLIX," ait its head, If it wants to, without in any way doing injury to the Southern or any other Ad- j vocate. It is true that old aze is honorable,! but excellence of merit is more desirable on j the part of the reader. The "Volume" at the j bend of the paper is actually as near mean-1 lngless to the general reader as possible.J Some newspapers print two "Volumes" a year; others priutoulvone; audit may be| that others again may print a "Volume" quarterly or monthly. To the PresH. We notice that a number of our excnangesi are running the advertisement "Health is I "Wealth." I)o they know that the advertising aircticy of Howard J. Decker. Chicago, I 1., is I * busted" and they will get no pay? Such is! the ca?e. It should he a rule of the Press not | to recognize any advertising agencies except those of old or good commercial standing, *ueii as Dauchy & Co., S. M. I'ettengille & Co., Geo. P.

Our friend publishes the card ot "Rev. Jo-' seph T. Inman," of New York. If there is a greater swindler than this reverend scoundrel we have not yet heard of him. Jail News. Fred Devlin, a colored man, eharged with forgery and with something "concerning of a liorse, now boards at the Jail. Jim James, another colored brother, who is proficient in the art of penmanship, is locked up for making the too fice use of a gentlemans name at a store cr two. and is attorded much time to cogitute over the ill-furtune of the evil doer. These colored gentlemen have had, we presume, special advantages at the free schools, una must alford educational cranks, shining examples of the good results of school taxation. John Moore, another colored man will leave to-day, under a guard of honor, for a berth on thecongaree which Superintendent Lipscomb is prepared to furnish. He was charged with burning a barn, Mr. Arnold's we believe, and although the prisoner denied ? ?"i.. tu.?? his guilt the jury rounu nun guiuy. m-imsuj ticbet-of-leave for ton years. * Upper Long- C'aue Ohnrch. Dr. Burr preached at Upper Long Cane for thirty years, and whs pastor of that church when ho died, in January, 1843. Dr. Turner came to All his place in September, 184o. He I he held the place until February, 1851, when, he left and took charge or a church in Wash-| ington, Georgia. Mr. Montgomery came in the same year, and preached until 18-r>4. In In February, 1S.V3, Dr. Hoyt, took charge of the church. He left in 1800. Dr Turner returned that yearand remained until 18CS. Dr. Mat-tain came in 1870. He resigned October Jtl, 1884. Rev. J.

Mann, jailer, opened his hank of potatoes on his (arm near Mountain View one day last week. He found one large pota toe in which h mouse or rat had built a bed. It had commenced at one end and eaten out the heart with wonderful nicety, and had put straw in the opening thus made. Owing to the cold weather all potatoes which were near to this one had been frozen and was rotten. The hull of this one was perfectly sound. It is xupppsed the heat of the occupants had i.Mwniifjiit it from freezimr. The potatoe. with Us bed of straw nicely arranged,"Is a curiosity. Boys, A Word With Ton. The Town Council havi* concluded to Interfere with your sport In the knocking of irlitss out of windows with sling shots. They have therefore instructed Mr. Riley keep one oyc on the watch for these instruments, and is ordered to confiscate all such whenever found. The penalty besides Is one dollar. See what Mr. Hammond has to say on the subject. Dr. F. A. AndkrW-S, of North Carolina, arrived l?st week and can now be found at the drutr store of Mr. T. C. Porriu. Dr. Andrews comes with the highest testimonials as a I drugzlst, with seven years experience, and our people may safely rely upon his skill in compounding prescriptions nnd in anything they may need in the drug line. We learn that a formal call for a meetlne of the farmers of Abbeville county, will be made for next Sale Day. when the lmport ?ntissues now before the country are to be discussed. Should the meetlnjr be a public one, the renders of the Prp*t nnd Bonner may . learn something r.f its action by reference to these columns on the Wednesday tollowlng. TnF. corner store under the New Hotel has bepn beautifully arranzed for the reception of i Mr. T. C. Perrin's druzs, and he will be found ! in that store room after this week.

Will not thite look a little I like "crowdins; the mourneis?" I Dr. Sheppard has introduced a new style of j pocket handkerchief.

Associate llcformcd Presbyterian is the most at* j tractive feature of that generally excellent religious paper. We always expect to find both wit and wisdom in the "Brevities," and are 'seldom if ever disappointed. The Rev. H. C. Smart in his "talk" at a recent prayer meeting advised parents to insist upon their children, particularly the boys, occupying the same stats with themselves during divine service. This good advice should: be followed, for where three or four or five boys are {fathered together, from under the | ..?

One way to miike the Civil Service business satisfactory all uround would*be to increase the offices to such an extent that every fellow j can get one; but there does not seem to be much hope in thut direction under Mr. Cleve-1 land's administration. Another way would be for all the fellows to drop officeseeldng and 1 try like othor men to make an honest living. Rut the latter plan is out of the question; 1 they'll never do it. 1 Two of the most interesting little girls we ? ever met are daughters of one of Troy's most estiinahle mtrcbiints. They nre named re speetively "SavlUa" and "Manilla" They are ' perfect blondes, jmd would attract attention ; anywhere, having each a wealth of hair, "woman's crowning glory." In addition to this \ they are both bright and pretty. One of the gentlemen who occupied the ' same table with us at the supper given by the ladies of the Baptist congregation last Friday 1 evening evidently had attended other church festivals. When asked if he would hav?? "sng- 1 ar and cream" in ills coffee he promptly replied, "No cream; skimmed milk, if you ! ple;?sc." It is unnecessary to add that he got ! what h*> wanted. The Troy base-ball club organized last 1 Wednesday evening by the election of the fol- J lowing officers: President, G.C. Bradley; First ? Caotaln.J. M. Kennedy; Second Captain, J. H. Chiles, Jr.; Secretary unci Treasurer, j uiiuh < Vasanska; Umpire, J. W. Lynn; Scorer, F. A. J Cook. The club has twenty-three members, and starts out with sixty dollars in the treasury. i "Which is your favorite hymn?''asked the ' Methodist minister of a certain young lady < last sabbath alternoon. "0 I?T don't llko to say." "Why not, pray? We all have our fa- ' vorites, and I like to know the preferences of the young ladies." "Well if f must tell, I rath- S er like Sam?the most." "0, ah J yes, I see," said the minister In some surprise; "You pre- ] fer the Psalms. Some people do." ! The country papers are lauding Mr. R. B. J Tillman to the skies as a "model farmer" because he sold the other day two wagonloads of 1 home-cured bacon. What we want to know, before Joining In the chorus. Is whether the J Iioub were home raised. Most any fanner could cure and sell two wagon loads of bacon, 1 provided some other fellow furnished the < nogs. 1 Well. Mr. Tillman has succeeded In having his Farmers' Convention called, and we shall < look for that assemblage to "evolute" numer- . ous retorrns. By the way, did It. ever strike ? ? 1? 41?* you, reuuer, unit mc incin^c <v>w....v. considerable of a fraud? The men who start out to reform their fellows generally need refuriuititr themselves worse than the fellows. According to the theory of the Press and Banner only lawyers are qualified to he legislators. Is there no room in our legislative halls for merchants, bankers, farmers, mechanics. etc.? Is the experience of such classes of our citizens not to be sought 1 n the frain- j Ing of laws alfectlng their respective callings? Our idea of a model legislator Is ono who has "wisdom to apprehend and discretion to choose," 110 matter whether such an one be a lawyer or a hodcarrler. Georgia can boast of the champion fool of the present age. His name is John Fosset and he lives in Dodge county. Some one told Fosset that If he w;ould distribute matches pretty freely through his corn while putting it into the crib it would keep otF the rats. He did so, and now Mr. Fosset has neither corn! nor crlo, the whole having been consumed by j tire one day last week. | There was no lack of "grub" at the supper provided t?.v the ladies 01 the Baptist congregation last Friday evening. The very pretty young lady who waited on the table at whicn we sat brought us a plate of provender the "muchness" of which would have staggered Ban;urn's Jumbo in his palmiest days; and when we asked for another plate?meaning n.i nmntr f.ne?she hrousrlit us a second load of "fodder" which made the first one look 1 very tired, she must huve thought that Brother Jay had been starving us for n month J c r two in order to get us in good eating trim 1 for that supper. It is said that Dr. J. G. Armstrong, the Episcopal Clergyman who has been debarred from ' the pulpit tor live years lor getting drunk and visiting houses of ill fame in Cincinnati, has ' purchased an interest in and will edit the Atlanta Sunday Telegram. Doubtless this step ' will convince a majority of church members I \ that the ecclesiastical court did not greatly 1 err when they found Dr. Armstrong guilty of the charues preferred against him, and that s Bishop Beck with was not far wrong when he * dismissed him from the pulpit for five years. We are pretty well satisfied that most of the ' evils of which our agriculturists complain * can be traced directly to what some one has ' aptly described as their "insane system of farming." All the legislating and "conven- | tionlng" and caucusing that can be done fr*m - nOW limii Ult'CliH'k ui uunui uiiiuui, iiiunu > wise fanner out of ail unwise one; nor will , such work make two stalks of corn grow > where but one grew before?somelhlng our ] fanners must learn to do beiore they can expect to be prosperous. < The liev. Sam Jones announced from a Chi- cago pulpit last Wednesday afternoon that he ' "had quit playing mountebank and was going 1 to preach straight gospel." Speaking of tills Georgia evangt'listin your columns last sum- j mer we pronounced him <t mountebank, or ' used words to that effect. Some of the "brcth- ' ien" where we then were objected to our referring in such a manner to a minister of the j gospel. Our reply was that such was our opln- ] ion of Mr. Jones, und It would not be many j yean? before they would agree with us. And now the Rev. Sam publicly admits that he!' has been playing the mouutebauk. "Time at; ] last sets ali things even." Mr. W. D. Ho wells, to-day the leading novelist of America, beijan life as a typesetter on 1 bis father's newspaper in a country town In onto; was excnange ciippwi uu mo j lurnbus State Journal, when he commenced , writing poems for the Atlantic Monthly; was , appointed Consul to Venice; published on his return "Venetian Life," and soon after became assistant editor of tho Boston Magazine. whore he won his fume. The fact that so tine a writ- 1 or, in point of style, should have had no regu lar education and should have received most of his instruction at the printing case, would seein to seriously cripple the academic theory that a man cannot be a master of bis own tongue without completing a course of classlcnl studies. Mr. CharleR A. Dana, editor-in-chief of the New York Sun owns the building in which that paper is printed and one hundred and fifty-five shares of the stock of the paper, ' worth something over 85,000 a share, which gives him a controlling interest. His annual I income often exceeds ?200,000, and he is estj- ! mated to be worth at least ?1,000,00(1. Mr. Dana speaks French, German. Italian und Spanish like a native, and reads Portugese. ! Icelandic, Danish and other languages. He is ' admittedly one of the most scholarly of living Journalists. We believe that worklngmen and all other classes have the right to organize tor self-pro- ' tection ; but when a man puts his money into a business we do not believe that those whom he employs and pays to carry on that business have the rlgntto dictate who he shall or shall not have in his service. The strike of 11? V - ~ * V?/v 17 nf T.i nn tho [lie IIIlilliUlTB (11 U1C rvuiKiim UI uouui uu ...V I Gould system of railroads, which Is seriously affecting the business interests of several! States, is based on the refusal of Receiver Brown of the Texas Pacific road to be dictated I to in the manner referred to above. Labor i: strikes are generally productive of no good; on the contrary they work injury to both em-! ployers and employes? to the former by the I stoppage of their business and to the latter by ! the loss of wages. Arbitration is the best| way to settle all disputes between working-; men and their employers There is really no ; conflict between capital and labor save tliatj which is precipitated by the hasty, injudicious action of Trades Unions. We speak from the standpoint of a workingman. During ihe first administration of the late Governor Seymour of Xew York, Mr. Delavim who im lit the Del a vun house 111 Albany, au<i who was the greatapostle of temperance ! in ills diiy, expressed to the governor one day j his dissatisfaction with the statutes in rela- j tlon to the sale of liquor, and urged more pos-1 itive legislation. In answer tohissuggestions j the Governor said : "Now suppose you could j get a perfectly effective temperance law that j could he executed, and that by way of supple- i mentlng or adding to its efficiency you could put the man who Imd been intemperate under circumstances where lie would labor industriously and regularly, enga?c in 110evil conversation, go to church twice on Sunday and indeed be entirely withdrawn frotn other temptations. Would you 'ike such an arrange-: ment?" ''Yes," sold Mr. Dclavan, "that is a ! more perfect system of law than I supposed could be made." "Then," said the Governor, "I will show you Just such a system in operation. If you will go down to .Sin.; Sing prison I will show you hundreds 0/ ineu living un-j | dcr that exact system. They cannot drink,1 cannot indulge in other vices. In evil conversation or communication, are delighted to have the tfliuplnililtalk with thorn, regular in their habits, and fco to church twice oti Sunday; but the whole system isoneof coercion. Now if your house was robbed, and you knew thatamitn was in the neighborhood who had bt'en living under yottr ideal Kystem, he would be the lirst man whom you would arrest."

There is a younc man In town who claims that he has established two distinct classes of' society In Greenwood. Taking into consideration the short time this young man has been living here, it is marvelous to think he hus accomplished so much, Oh, the rower of influence, and how great must be the responsibility resting upon tills young mnn.

The banisters which mysteriously disappeared from the bridge over Kocky Creek a few days ago hnve been replaced. "A guilty conscience needs no accuser." Some of the farmers of Walnut Grove haVe a novel way of traveling and believe that milk cows were intended for more purposes than merely to supply the dairy, as we saw a | prominent citizen or mat community iu.h i week leave our village with a wagon loaded | with tlie necessaries of life* and drawn by a fine milk cow ami a mule. We also noticed that at noon while feeding his team, he neglected to give the cow her shnreof the provender, and gave as a reason that if she was hungry she would be anxious to reach her ca'f, and hence would do lior full duty at the singletree. The Self Endowment and Benevolent Asroelation of America which failed a few months j a^o, has been resurrected, and is endeavoring to assume a new lease of life under a differ-1 ent management. There is however 110 use i in trying to Infuse new life Into a dead carcass, as confidence In the association has been destroyed and failure will inevitably l>e its destiny. We notice a call has been made for an assessment upon the former members of the Association, amonsr whom Is Mr. B.

She fell in quite a shallow gitlly and broke her neck. It would, we know, bo surprising to the editor ol the Press and Hamier if he were to see the number of colts there are in this place. Some of them are beauties. Mrs. Miller, we are sorry to learn, is quite sick. There has been a Sabbath School organized at this place, under the most flattering auspices. Mrs. L. K.

It Is getting time for "East End" to agitate tlie Ninety-Six Fair. He deserves a lame share of tlie credit for the success of the last one. as lie certainly kept It before the minds of the people In his weekly notes. The Stony Point ladles are speaking of making large eshlbltsof their handiwork in all of their departments at the coming Fair, and of course the gentlemen will do the sumo in theirs. Tills Fair can be made a grand success if the people will only take an* interest In it We would say, "Let us each be up and doing." We will soon have ilie Narrow Gauge running through our town; and there is no doubt but there will be many improvements and some accessions in consequence. There are some who predict for Stony Point quite a bright future. "So mote it be." All of the ladies are bemoaning the loss of their hot house plants; and not only arc those plants killed, but many which were considered hardy and grew in the yards have been ruined by the cold. May we never see like again. DULCIO. I Cftmlnir 1 /iMm I llcr I llf?VV siirinf lxnoils at' Haddon's.

Nnmmer Pi^Si i A correspondent of the Ionvd TTnmcstcad nrguesagainst the Idea that has been strougly j advise i and generally conceded?that early spring pigs pay the best. Now; let us con.sid | cr, he siiys, the fiiet upon a practical theory, always boar in mind that labor is money. To have pigs comein March. April sr tlrst ol May requires srparuUon of the sow by herself, and a warm place and continuous look lugafur; and even with the best of cart quite a large per cent, of the spring pig crop in | lost from various causes, as being chilled | sows laying on tlieuj and so forth. The re matnltig arc either kept In the pen all sumI MKT where tliey eat their heads oil' or lurried inlo a pasture where they are a continuous bother, for they will find holes to get out. in the early part of the summer Just when ttey will do the most damage. To got them tit u turn oil' before cold weather they must l>( crowded the whole time of their lite with tin best of food, which Is more expensive. I have for years practiced a different to my entire satisfaction; I have plgfc come only ! one month in the year, and that the last hall \ of June and the ttrst half of July. The sows j then are In a large nasturc needing very little attention. They will separate themselves and make their own nests. Having been\on grass for about a month tliey are in healthier condition than when kept up. A sow needs but little feeding the first two or three days after farrowing. Having a good many sow> with pig about the same tlmti it has happened often that J did not miss one until slit same up to the trough, a litter of pigs following her. The sow will wean her pigs in time no she nan be fattened in the fall if desired. I never keep any old sows over. By mating with a good boar, nbt related nnd wed matured, I ~ - mil lin f fv < lin u t ;1 In I ;1 r<1 iiiuilfiK^ I" ivurp II?J nwi/A u|' buv . ... Pfcs of this age will do no harm to the early garden, and will not roam through the neighbors' corn fluids. I hardly ever mint them up, not caring for what little harm they.do in my own corn Held. Such piss are old etioncrh lo stand the winler well. At the first ot March I pick out the lasesl barrows, shut them up and fatten for about, two months, when they will average 250 pounds, and sell. The host sows are bred by the last of February. When spring work begins they are put into a pasture and do well on very little corn and dairy slops. About the first of September, or as snon as green corn will be fit. tc: feed In a different place, and where the sod is ton-rhost. The feeding rots the sod and in tims tame grass will j?row itself. Any time in November they are /it for market. I generally feed as long as 1 have corn out and then sell. The advantages I claim In thus managing hog* are as follows: Less care needed nnd less percentage hist In sows or pigs; the weather Is then warm nnd yet no flies tor ment them. No crowding necessary excepl the last two mouths of their lives. eavsinvpps TSxpress?P. K. Conloy, G. C.' Graves, O. S. (Janii, T. G. Baker, J. T. iwearlngen; M. YVil lard. Freight? D< K. Cooleyi T.
