The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. . Wednesday, Sept. 15, 1886. C'vnNiMten?y>?Patent Medicines and VThlakey. During tlie last meeting of the 1'ress Association the subject of rnedleol notices, and other Improper advertisements were discussed. Some held that the publication of these advertisements necessarily had the endorsements of the editor to a greater or less degree. One respected member of the Press Association read an editorial from tlio Prcs* and JJanner In which the Prohibition cause was advocated. He said he endorsed every- word contained in that editorial, but said that ho woukl read a notice which he found on the opposite page of the same paper, and then read an advertising local of Thomas McGettlgnn's saloon. The editorial and the local he said, seemed to be entirely inconsistent; but we tnke Issue with that view. For instances, the advertisement of a cure tor consumption can be nothing else than a fraud, which every hitelllgent man must know to be such. We tnltfi thezround tbat anything which deceives the afflicted, robs tliem of their money, nnd Inurles them to their grave, Is n serious Imposition on our fellow citizens, and the cow. *ctantlous editor should bo slow to lend his countenance nnd aid to such Importers, but the advertisement of honest whiskey Is quite n different thing. There are many debilitated, superanuated or sick persons who are supposed to be benefitted hy the use of a good article of Whiskey. Brandy and whiskey are often prescribed by pliyslclanes, but It Is extremely seldom that an intelligent physician can be found who will prescribe a patent. < medicine. In one case the advertiser holds oat false hopes of a cure aud does irreparable tnjary. In the other. Information is where the desired whiskey or brandy fnnnct. We shv this without any compromise of our temperance prlnslples. Personally, we abstain from the use of whiskey In any way, and at all times. We sire straight out for Prohibition, but ns long ns the bar rooms are open, and as long as people need a?ood article of whiskey, we see no uood reason why we should refuse to Inform the people where it may be found. Not so with consumption cures, and other well known swindles. The manufacturers of such swindlers cannot get a chance to rob the readers of the Press and Banner through any action of ours. We have no objection to giving information as to where honest whiskey may be found, but we do not propose to lend our columns for the purpose of swindling our readers with medicines that ran have no other eflcct than to rob and injure the afflicted. The Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville Ballroad. There seems to be a demand for a new railroad from Monroe, In North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia,and we have little doubt that such a road will be built The chief question , now is, where shall It be located? We learn that Angustn, Newberry and other strong corporations nre makingcftorts to divert the 7oadi?Xbelr respective places. While it Is all rlghrtand proper for tliem to make every wrwBulhlo t/\ oat t hft nf thltt im portant railroad located to su?t their best in' tarests. It would not be creditable to us. if we twiddle while they work. There is much preliminary work to be (lone before the actual throwing of dirt can commence. For Instance, the survey of tlio line, and the location of the road, for which funds must be immediately raised. And also, the right of way mart he secured. We cnn certainly get that, and we can certainly get subscriptions. Our town and Greenwood oreon a line which is almost .straight between Monroe and Atlanta, and if we make -any reasonable eOort we can carry off the prize. The road if built, will be a flrst-class line ithrough thecentr.il part of the country, and disadvantages to us would be Inconceivably great. Onr people roust therefore bestir themselves. We must show our earnestness. Let every landowner urge the bringing of the road tlirough his faia by ottering subscrip' tlons and rights of way. Snch a course will influence the location of the road, except where the subscrlptionsand rights of way are of equal value, and then the best and most direct routes will win. The line of the Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville road as Indicated Keems to be most acceptable, and if we do our whole duty we will get one of the finest and most important roads in the South. From Abbeville it Is proposed to go to Elbert, theuce to Athens and Atlanta. The line tilong the whole route will be located where the company arc offered the best inducementr. Let no people withhold the right of way over their lands, and let every man give whatever he can. Wo need a road running across the country. But If we fall to get this one wo will never get a through line, unless it should Jbe pogflbieto finish the Cumberland Gap road, of which there is little probability, even if (there should be a possibility of completing It to Abbeville. We need a road across the .country, and 'by making a proper effort at this (time, we can get one. Let us all work together for this one time. We will then get a road vwhlch will be better and more important to itis than the Air Line road Is to that section. Jtecrewwion Kill. The Pret* and Banner in mentioning the jinnies tu biiu wiiiuiibicv pppuiunwi wj vuv L County Convention In 1876 to demand a dlvlst Ion of time with the Radicals in the meeting on "IiJg Tuesday" failed to make mention uf the name of Col. Eugene B. Gary who wa6 one of the members of the committee.?AbbevitU Medium. We regret any omission. We wrote chiefly /rom memory. We had forgotten all the names of the committee, but a friend suggestjxl the names of that committee, and we adopted his suggestion. Since our publication we learn that Capt. L. W. White was also -on that committee. He also recollects one jiartof Judge Wardlaw's speech in 1860, which ve had forgotten. As the object of our piecc was to make a correct record of facts as they occurred, we trust that Colonel Gary and Cap lain White may favor us with a chapter oi facts and Incidents of the old historic hill, While we would be extremely obliged to anybody who would help us to All out the history, It might be that Colonel Gary could give us a piece on the doings of "Big Tuesday," and Captain White might add interesting his' torical focta as to the "Secession meeting.' He was present that day, and his retentive memory could fljl out what we huve omit ted. We think aoy one, who can do so, should furnish {bets of the men and days which will be memorable in the history ol Abbeville. &en?ter Thott. B. trews. Many citizens of Abbeville county will be glad to learu that Col. ThomaB B. Crews, a former citizen, and once editor of the AbberMe Banner, has been elected Senator from iLaurens county. Colonel Crews edits one ol tho most enterprising newspapers in the State, and we have no doubt that bis recent election to the Senate was duein agreatmeasurc to the ability aud honesty with which he has conducted his newspaper. Colonel Crews will be faithful to the Mhole country, and lie will be sure to vote right upon all question* involving the welfare of his own section o! the State. While he will be just to the low country, be will be true to his own constitueucy. ^ "Thanks to your citizens for their generous donation."?liayor Oourtcnay. A gentleman well able to speak on the subject, thinks tho word "gift'.'a better word than ''donation." The word "gift," it seems, will become obsolete from the almost nn J versa J desire to use big worths. S Tvr- . Pnbllc XcctlngN. j The CongrosHion.il Committee havo nr.- J nounced that public meetings will be lield at Abbeville next Saturday, and at Greenwood on Monday?the ISth and 20th instant. * Messrs. Simpson, Johnstone and Lipscomb are on the rounds, and it is presumed that thoy will be here next Saturday. Tho Congressional election is not less important than the county elections, and it Is hoped that our people may attend at Abbeville on Saturday or at Greenwood on Monday. Judge Cothran, who is in the race, lsofl' on circuit performing the duties of his office, and will not be able to be with us on these occasions. We know that , the presence of Judge Cothran at these meet- c ings would be much to "his private advantage, j { but this he sacrifices under a sense of the sa- t - ?- ?- ^ * In , emmets 01 ms puouc tniM. nc nun,, . therefore, that our people will not let his In* terests suffer, because of his devotion to duty. Judge Cothran cannot go upon the hustings without neglecting his duty or resigning his office. He cannot resign. To do so, would deprive the Fourth Circuit of the Full term of the Court, unless the Governor should eall an extra session of the Legislature to elect a successor, which would involve an expense of several thousand dollars. He will not neglect his duty to secure advantage to himself In the race for Congress. Under these circumstances the absence of Judge Cotlnan should speak more eloquently In his behalf than he could do were he present lu person to speak for himself. Judge Cothran's competitors aro able and eloquent speakers, and we trust that our people may turn out to hear them. School Fees. f The subject of tuition fees in our schools Is I /. >? u*Vii^h hoc Romp comment in our town for the Inst few years, and is a matter of some consequence to our people. Professor Llgon, of Anderson, a classical scholar, and a t tcacher of many years experience has this to a say In the advertisement announcing the J opening of his school: f "Tuition fees will be SI2.00, $16.00 aud 820.00 t per session, according to the studies pursued t by the student. Contingent fee fifty cents per ? session, to cover Incidentals." From this It will be seen that the lowest j choigc Is 82.40 a month, and that the highest t is 84.00 a month for tuition. 1 . I ticiieroud Colored People. a A colored congregation in Bcanfort took up { a handsome collection for the Charleston suf- r ferers, and sent the money without direction | as to how It should be expended. It was sent t to the relief committee to be disposed of as a they thought best. This Is what a colored j congregation did. "What have our white con- s gregntlons done?

Expressions of sympathy for the sufferers, and protestations of thankfulness for our own escape from harm, are worth very little, if we refuse to give at least one cent of our money for the relief those brethren who are without bread and homeless.

Then the ; I schooner went down, like "going over a '! bank," Captain Jewett says, and was burled . j In the foam below. Emerging from this, with , sails torn from Iter and with the erowu-work ! of the top-mast gone, the schooner encounter ed a second wave,-but nothing to be compared . to the tlrst. A terrible Rale followed. A sailor says that he happened to look ahead Just as ' I the great wave came Insight. There was liti I tie wind, he says, and the tremendous mass! r! of water ahead looked so like a great hill I that he cried: "Breakers dead ahead." The next moment the schooner struck against the [ seeming clitlit and was lifted to the top of the wave: then he comprehended what had happened, ????^? i , The "Prciis and Unnner" Deserve* Credit.

'n t Now that seething like an Intelligent rc- jj?: ?' count of Tuesday's terrible dlsnster in Char- ?'*, leston ha-s beeu furnished, ittB found, as all who ijave passed through the periodical eart h- * quake shocks on the raciHd cowt have expeoied, that while nearly all the buildings of the city have been more or less injured and many of tbem rendered unsafe for future habitations, the loss of life, which in the most saddening feature of the story, was caused, TUl not by tho shock, but by the panic which It crest oil. Of the deat hs reported from Charleston scarcely one l? that of a person who was cruahcd iu his own house. The long list Is made upof those who, following the first, im- F ? pulse of their fear, rushed wildly Into the streets and were met by an avalanche of falling chimneys and cornice*, beneath which "DY they were overwhelmed and burled. u t One of the striking pecu:iarities of the pub] earthquake Is the terror with which it inspires Day human creatures as well as brutes. There Is of * no other fear which resembles itknown to the ato i human mind. When the low rumbling is loto Heard from the depths of the earth nil nnlinn- tho 1 tlon seems suspended Tor n brief instant. The and very heart seems to cease to b<at, and the In- on \ tellect becomes paralyzed. This condition of on . mind and body Inst# bat a moment. It is fol- Brai lowed by a terrible, but vague. fear of some awful danger, the nature of which Is quite in- Dl comprehensible. The mind Jumps rapidly . and without reasoning to the conclusion that flight offers the only safety, and the body acts * upon the conclusion at once. Men, women *IRand children rufcn headlong ir to the street, by the stalrwny and doors if they happen to be lmc convenient, by plunging from tho windows If they happen first to attract the attention. And It Is In this wild lush for Imagined gafe- mor ty that tho real danger of the earthquake lies. vill< but no experience In the p:>st has been putti- a. E clent to enforce this lesson, and the probabll- hyli Ityis that no experience in the Aituro will johi impress It so vividly as to render it of any xi practical use. on n It was in this wild rush that the victims of fron the Charleston shock loft safely bohind them cha? and plunged into the arinsof death. Toover- iM8tj throw completely a substantial buildlug re- pers quires a shock much more severe than the one of Tuesday night, but It was amply sufQ- se clent to crack wa Is, topple over chimneys, and wrench copings from their position. Had the peoplo remained In their-houses until the TJj earth wave had passed they could then have found security from other shocks in the open places of the oity; but hurrying outae they did in the midst of the disturbance they be- "ro1 caine so many targets for falling bricks and stones and beams. The safest rule, If ono can By , only summon presenceof mind enough to act ?i upon It, is to remain within doors during a \ y shock, or if caught in the street to step Into t the nearest doorway or beneath the nearest zS-* arch. - - Th and LESSORS TO BE LEABNED FBOM THE said EARTHQUAKE. - tern 11 o' What a Pious Jinn, and a Devout any Christian Editor lias to 8ny. s,q} Christian Neighbor.
