The season is at hand when candidates may bo beseiged by subscription papers seeking immpv for llie advancement of worthy oh jects, or lor the benefit of some citizen who may have sustained loss. According to our way of tbinking there is a mistaken notion its to what is charity. We arc not called upon to restore a man's fortune, but if he is, by some unavoidable accident, iu present need of something to ailay hunger or to protect him from the weather, then it is our duty to divide our bread with him, and to share our shelter with him, but no man lias aright to 5 <?xpect a community of citizcns to take the place of an insurance company, and restore to him the value of that property which he has lost by fire or other accident. The habit of presenting subscription papers 1o men seeking public oflice is, iu our opinion, reprehensible in the highest degree. The candidate may understand the application to bo a demand, the refusal of which will lose him votes at the approaching election. If the surmise is correst, it is a species of petty corruption which should not bo encouraged among citizens of culture and Christian civilization. If a canaiaaie seetts mc vuiu ui w..slegation by contributing Ave dollars, or any other amount, to the repair of their church building, then he sets a low estimate 011 the morals and independence of the voters of that E congregation. The gift of money to a church in which the candidate has no other Interest than the votes of its members, should bo sufficient reason to make him odious in the eyes of the respectable public. We hope, i- therefore, that no church building committee may apply to any candidate for aid, and wo hope that no candidate may make himself liable to the charge of seeking to buy his way Into public favor. Such acts, must have a tendency to lower our morals. Besidcfe this, the rich candidate,if thesystcm of buying church votes is to prevail, is unfair to those candidates who are unable to buy the votes of such church members as may be willing to sell their birth-right for a mess of pottage. It Is a sin to encourage an evil like this, and while the "unco guld" church members are discussing questionable methods at church P fairs, we nope luey may noi lur^ck mu uuiui' date who would corrupt the church members Jn buying their voles by subscribing a sura-to iho repair of a house of worship, which has been dedicated to holy purposes. Let them look with suspicion on the act of any dlsiuterested person who may give them money. *isTo candidate lias a right to buy the votes of any congregation by giving a few dollars to the repair of their church. Dr. M'oodrow and Evolution. The action of the rresbytcrinn General Assembly in Augusta last week against the teaching of the theory of evolution as taught by Dr. Woodrow, we think, should settle this * . question which has disturbed the church for | more than a year. AVe know nothing of ev olutlon, ana we Know out utuv ui lucuivg; , bat we do know that anything disturbing or , upsetting of our old beliefs in the teachings %V;i- " of-the Bible is injurious, and that there is no passible good, to coine of Dr. Woodrow's utterances Li reference to evolution. Even though Dr. "SVoodrow should be able to prove his probable theory to be correct, it would be so much the worse. Teach us to believe that there Is error in the plain, positive statements of the Bible in one particular, then a doubt ;- may be created as to other statements. The ^ church needs a Professor who has the confidence and support of the M'holo church. Bight or wrong, Dr. Woodrow's day ot usefulness in tho Seminary has passed. It Is said that President Cleveland works 17 ?,\ hours per day, and yet some people think he &; >. - lias no right to kick when he is being bored 5 . by political hack office-seekers.?Lexington f?.- Dtsputch. It 6eoms to us that all this talk about the i number or nours uie I'resmeni wonts is nui of place. The President docs not "work." A man could be hired for thirty dollars a month who could do more "work" than the President. Instead of so much talk about the President's "work," let us hear of something else. Surely the President did not "work'> seventeen hours a day during the time lie was courting. The 3/arion Star enters Its forty-first year, with all the energy and vitality of youth, r* ' Long may it prosper. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

This is cheering news. The Rev. Mr. Matthews of Greenwood came down on last Thursday to assist the Kcv. J.

When strolling nbout town rcecntly we included to vlstsome places of Interest and nd out a little more about the different ocipatlons of our fellow townsmen, and we nind persons busy at' ibe following places: s the workshop of Mr. W. A. Blyth was earest at hand we called in to see what he as about. On the first floor there were sev111 persons busily engaged making coffins id repairing vehicles, and op stalrB Mr. lythwosat work palatlng and varnishing line very neat specimens of handiwork, ut we passed on and came to the wholesale ouso of Lee & Bailey. They are nicely fixed p and have room to preserve at l,eaBt three ir loads of Ice. The afternoon was warm nd we could have stayed longer here but we died 011 our young friend Dr. Wilson. Evry thing was in apple pie order, and theDoctoi H>t. us with a smile and a bow and no doubt lought we had come to have that old aching ><jL11 exirucieu, out lb iiuu utrascu iu <u;uc, nd we only wished to see bis elegant denst's chair that we havo so often heard menoned; the cost Is ?130, but that Is not snrrising when it is examined and one sees ow complete It Is in every respect. It was nly a few steps further down street to the larble yard of Leavell A Gage, but we have lentioiied the beautiful work they do in a revious letter. They are Just completing an legant monument to bo erected to the memryofMrs. J. 8. Klugh. As it was getting ft we only had time to spend a few morents in the studio of Mr. Sanders. He is a ranger in our midst, but lias gotten up a ne e lass, and Instruct* them rapidly in his pauuifnl art. Ho has painted several poraitsi since earning her?, and wtll no doubt ;t more work to do.

I desire to call attention to the fact that- in lU vuiunit's ui lik; v-runun ui ioou, uu (igiicur ire, a comparative showing is made, by Sucrlntendcnt Walker, cf the epg product ol rluln states. This sta tement shows the egg roducLlou of States named to vary from three 'izen a year to four, five, six and seven dozen reach fowl, an follows: Connecticut, 7.1; 'aine, 7.5; Massachusetts, 7.2; New Hamp lire, (i.9; Rhode Islaud, 0.4; Vermont, 5.1 rlth these States lie compures New York, 5.0; ennsylvanla, 5.2; Ohio, 1.9; Illinois, 3.0; jdlami, 5.0.: Iowa. 4.3: Kentucky, 4.4; TenL'ssee, 5.7: Isortli Carolina, 8.6 ; Alabama, 3.2; mth Carolina,3.1; Louisiana,3.0. Mr. Walker assumes, for comparison, that iese eggs were product of barnyard fowls on . By reference to the Census table it will be ien that other States range between extremes ' stnteineut; possibly some run less than Inlmum of statement, but none higher than nine. He al?o says the reason Is manifest: hy the New England States exceed others veri in this record. Ke attributes it to the ixed fanning and great number of comnieral and manufacturing towns, affording local nub'oto n ?-* rl oaH ln? ft Vi nrl no nn aerrra ,'^ir.cio ?uu uvin*-Jjfc, u uigu ?.? vht)"i Ills causes, he thinks, the bens of New Enand to be fed higher and more expressly In der to Increase the yield of eggs to a maxluni. He likewise infers ibut in the other lateB, whose egg product is relatively small, mltry is raised for me at principally. Doubtss Mr. Walker Is correct to a certain extent, ndoubtcdly a local demand for eygs at high ices will develop more rapidly the poultry duiitry, and stimulate the culture or fowls r et;gs. I question, however, whether fowi eet relatively is consumod less In New Enancl tiian In States where fewer eggs are proiced. In fact, so to speak, New England is le home of the improved Asiatics, B rah mas, lochins, Langslians, etc. The merit of thin ass of fowls is meat. Prcbably these is one other minor reason by New England so largely oxcels some of le Htates mentioned. This Is the first Census the United States In which an accurate rern of poultry has been attempted. In those ates therefore where the poultry industry l? rthest advanced, ready local demaud at fair ices, being probably the cause of much adinced development, more accurate returns ere obtained. The.great care and attention ven poultry enabled the breeders and farers to readily and more correctly return the oduct to the Census agen ts. I think, however, the paramount reason for io larger yield in New England especially, id certain of the Middle and Western States, i compared with Northern, is that tho stock these States has been brought to a maxium product both of tnoat and eggs by paiMitaud persistent efforts to that end by the jultry breeders of those States. First tho ncier, keeping ever in bis view a practical wl, has raisedthe standard of fowls as lay's and meat producers. Then gradually the liiroved stock has found its way over the llagesand farms. Forbear in mind these ;ures do not represent the stock ot fanciers, it are the average yield of whole States. As for market, while the more thickly invbitcd districts can alway givo better local >mand and prices, still there is always a sufilenfc market at good living prices in all tho iites for all the poultry produced possible, >th meat and eggs. Let tho people of the nithcrn States emulate the example of New ngland In improving their fowls and lot lein do so wtth New England energy, indusy and patient, persistent purpose and thrift, id the profit In a few years to tho indivldufarmer and the Southern States will be no ss encouraging than gratifying. I'artios that are owing us will please tako atlce that after tho loth day of June all aciiiuts unpaid will be placed In the hands of iriai iusmcc. \> e arc ounpoa 10 ciose up our islness In Abbeville county.

"Hftwkeye" on the Freshet and "Brother Farmer"? Flnhiny Excnrsion?Railroad News and OtbMatters. Lowndesville, 8. C.f June 7,1880. Another big rain Saturday night and yesterday. Miss Jennie Harper, of Harper's Ferry, is visiting Miss Ettle Baker. Miss Willie IieRoy bsis Just returned home after a plensant visit of a month to her brother In Ohatanooga, Tenn. Mr. \V. H. Uarnes, one of Anderson's most popular young men, visited the city last week, remaining several days, hunting, fishing and otherwise enjoying himself. We arc always glad to welcome htm in our midst. Fishing parties are now tlie order of the day with the young men and ladles at this place. On Saturday a small party consisting of three young men and as many young ladles, bad a most pleasant time Usbing, having the party "tin typed," &a, but we did not see any fish. Mr. Jas. 8. Perrln, the Junior editor of the Mcaseiiaer. paid a flyinir visit to Lowhdesville on last week on "professional" business?so lust week's paper said. Talk about your oil wool bliss a yard wide, but it's nothing to comparc with the happiness a young man feels when nftcr visiting his girl, finds the river too high to cross, so perforce must return and remain another night. Our city coffers were replenished Inst week to the "tune" of two dollats. A man living in the country came to town and becoming somewhat "salubrious," was waltzed into court and fined said amount. The Railroad has at last been completed to ourdepol and our merchant are happy on account of being able to get their goods here, instead of having them to haul Ironr Abbeville, Anderson and Elberton. One of our M. D's. has a most interesting patient. A young lady whose eyes have been afflicted for some time has placed herself under treatment of the Doctor. His success has been so marked, that we are afraid he may move to a city where hlsfleldof usefulness?In that particular direction?may be enlarged; or perhaps he may but we drift! The rain continues and -'Gen. Green" is striving very hard for the mastery, and the planters will have to correspondingly increase their labor or they will "see sights and dream dreams," as harvest will soou be added to their other duties. Hie harvesting of wheat will amonnt to but little. Fall oats nothing at ail, but those who had oats left over and those who could get them, "and sowed this spring are blessed with the prospect of a bountiful crop. Another boarding house in town. Come all ye hungry starving ones and be fed, and if you want to be clothed too, our merchants will be glad to do that to your satisfaction, as 10 price ana nr. The great freshet of 1888 will be one long remembered. One farmer near here has seven ty-flvo acres ot bottomland on Rocky River which be can do nothing with this year. He had it well ditched, prepared ana planted. The high river washed up his corn, filled up his ditches and now the creeks and branches, have left their channels and are now running "here there and everywhere." It would take at least three hundred dollars to put the land In a condition to be worked. This is only one of many of the destructive effects, of the young flood. Could all the losses, small and great, caused by the late rains in oue county alone, be aggregated, the figures would be startling, and more or less depress the spirits of our people; hut ''hope which springs eternal in the human breast" animates them to renewed exertions, and this seeming calamity may be a "blessing in disguise." County Commissioners Riley and McCord advertise that they will let to the lowest bidder the rebuilding of the bridges ' in their beat," during this month. Nothing ; is yet known as to the specifications to be made known and enforced, but It is presumable at least that they will be somewhat similar to those heretofore in force. It would be , fur better ultimately for the tax payers If a different plan were, adopted for the future, ! There are only a small number of bridges to be rebuilt, but could with a comdaratlve out1 lnv af tviAiint* Ko nut ahnvn lilirli nn/l assured for a number of years. At the most Important points a little more might be | ad led to cover and clo?e ihem In, which wnu.u cause them to last for an Indefinite , length or time. Our town is still improving In varions ways, in renovating and building houses, commercially. in population and therefore social ly, aud who knows but thut it may been be ; come a county seat in the not very far future 1 ' "So mote it be." Brother "Farmer," I see, is ?till airing his grievances In the Prcsx and Banner as to closJ ing the stores and postofflce at Abbeville. Let me "give you a pointer," my son.
