The Press and Banner Wednesday, Jan. 26, 1887. The Weather. The weather last Friday ami Saturday was warm and spring-Mkc. with a delightful sun throughout the days. The atmosphere was so balmy and pleasant on Friday night that many fires in ttie chambers were allowed to go but. On Sunday night we had heavy rains of several hours duration, accompanied by high winds and unpleasantly suggestive of cyclones and tornadoes. About daylight on Monday morning the rains ccased and the : clouds disappeared, but the wind continued at intervals throughout the day. The temperature in the sun was pleasant when the person was not exposed to the winds. ? School Trustees. School Commissioner Cowan announces this week li Is appointment of School Trustees 1 in the various townships. The appointments it is believed, are good, and. It Is hoped, that they may l>e acceptable to the people who will no doubt rest under a deht of gratitude to him for the appointment of men who will discharge their delicate and important duties with fairness and fidelity to the public interests. The people expect much of Capt. Cowan, and they will uot be disappointed. Can the State Beat It? On Friday Mr. A. I,. White, a fine shot from Spartanburg, and Me;sr<. Richard Sondley and W. C.

MAC. Evil* of EnUormJitje. The great evils of endorsing have never been more sufficiently stated than by Judge ! Waldo Krown of Koston He says: "The system of endorsing Is all wrong and it should be 1 utterly abolished. I believe that it has been ! the financial ruin of more men than, jierhaps, , all other causes. I think that our young men I especially should study the matter carefully ! in all its bearings and adont some settled uol I icy to govern their conduct, so as to be ready | to answer tlie man who asks them to sign his j note. What responsibility does one assume ' when he endorses a note ? Simply this: He I Is held for the payment of the amount In full, ! principal and interest, if the maker of the note through misfortune, mismanagement or , rascality, fails to pay It. You see, the endorsj er assumes the responsibility,' with no voice I In the management of the business and no I share in the profits of the transaction if It I proves profitable, but with a certainty of loss ! If, for any of the reasons stated, the principal I falls to pay the note." Some men get caught I once or twice and resolve to put their names to no more accommodation paper; a few decline at the very start from principal or from j fear of the heavy losses and perhaps ruin which has overtaken some peison whom they I know Intimately. But the far greater nunii ber, because they cannot say no to a friend, or as a "mere matter of form." put their auto1 graph on the back of a note with a retnarka! bio indifference as to the risk they assume. !

Editor Press and Banner: Next Thursday the people of Greenwood township will decide at the ballot box whether their luxes shall be Increased or Dot to bullil anothor rhilrdad. At the risk of being called an old fogy, nn old rossii. nn oustacie 10 progress and civilization, I will venture my humble protest against tnxfltlon for such purposes. We do hot believe in building railroads by taxation at any time, and now most strenuously do we object to taxing the people to build railroads, since the people are already Involved financially?many of ns owe as much or more than we can ever pay. In view of this state of affairs, would it l>e Justice to ourselves, to our wives and children to further mortgage our houses and our homes simply to help build another railroad ? Many of us are without money and provisions with which to make a crop this year, and will have to get our supplies under a lien or mortgage, and yet we are asked to tax ourselves to build railroads. The question Is, are we going to vote a railroad tax tieXt Thursday? Taking into consideration oiir poverty and the uncertainty of railroad deals and dealings, It would be gross nonsense to vote a tax to build this magnificent (?) railroad, however "elegant and forcible" the pleas of the fluent advocates of this proposed road, which will bring as it were, New York and New Orleans, San Francisco and Charleston, and pour them all out In Greenwood township with Greenwood as the grand centre. Even the schedu'es on this almost celestial road are laid down by its ardent odmirers and advocates, and we presume with the same degree of accuracy as the many and glorious advantascs and consequences are set forth. Theories look well and sound well, but they wontnlways work well in practice. We know mon whn Pfln sit flown and figure out. on paper thousands In many enterprises, but strange to say these men can seldom ever reduce their theories lo practice. Let us not be too theoretical In this matter, butexcrclse good common sense. Weare told that 15cents on the $100 will be the tax, but we have had some experience In paying taxes to build railroads, and we have found that the estimates before elections and after elections are two different things. When you have voted the tax and you march up to the treasurer's office to pay your taxes, then you will learn what tho tax will be, and when after contracting little debt after little debt until your indebtedness Is more lhan you can pay, and your property is advertised tor sale, then you will realize your "stupendous folly" in contracting these little debts by voting taxation to build this road, which we are told will decrease or do away with "heavy freights" on a road which you have built by taxation. Knowlngall these things will the tax payers of Greenwood township Invest their dimes tiopJns to realize dollars, or put In shoe strings expcctlng to draw out tan yards? TAX PAYER. YOUNG HEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Dedication of their Ifew Hnll?Eleennt Addresses - - - Revolution of T flanks* Dt?e West, .Tfln. 24,1887. On last .Saturday night the de<llcatlon of the Young Men's Christian Association hall occurred. It was an Interesting, enjoyable occasion. The friends of the Association were invited to be present. A refined audience erected President Cochrane on taking the chair. After devotional exercises, the president made a few remarks and announced as the speakers for the evening, Dr. W. M. Grler and Prof. .T. I. McCain. I)r. Gricr made the dedicatory speech. In the outset he said it was a matter of congratulation to think thai this Association waiithe oldest in the State, If not in the South, and that during all these years. week after week thev had regularly met, under so many dlscomforts and discouragements. But he now congratulated them that for the first time they met In a neat, beautiful hall. The Doctor's address abounded In sound advice and some excellent suggestions. Of the latter he expressed the hope that the place would never he defiled wiih tobacco; also that their meetings would be characterized with the spirit of devotion. Prof. McCain was now introduced and made an able address, faking for his subject, "Some Truths for Ihe Student." This address was well prepared and contnlned many cems In the way of elegant quotations culled from the whole field of llterature The Professor sweeped the whole horizon and ably sustained by quotalion every proposition laid down, we have heard the address spoken of as the best the Professor has ever made here. The house was now thrown open for buslm?s The ehnlrmnii nf the renalr committee made his report, showing that about $210 had boon expended In fitting up tho hall. These expenditures consisted in nn felegant new carpet, new stove, new chairs, new curtains, and nail repainted. Dr. (iiier offered a resolution of thanks to nil friends who had he'ped to bear this expense, making especial mention of kind friends In Texa?. Over one half of the amount expended came from this State?some 8117 This resolution was heartily passed, and by motion was ordered printed In the Pre*b}/t<rlnv. A handsome collection was now taken up, and tlms closed an exceedingly pleasant occasion, which we send to the Pre** and limmcr for publication, feellni* that oth* ers will be Interested In the occasion, as It Is the only Young Men's Christian Association hall that, ha* over been dedicated in this section. The large halMs In the Colletre building, and used to be occupied as a literary hall. In It Rigrht? Newberry Herald and New*. That the city of Newberry should have a monopoly ?>f the whiskey business of Newberry couuty? That the license should be fixed So high that only a few men with money can sell It? That the profits on liquor from the sales to men in the country should go to keeping up the town without their havinga voice in the matter? That whlsitey should be placed at every corner to destroy the character of the young men of the courtly, even if we have no regard for those !n town? That It should be presumed that the sale of liquor could not be prohibited in the eventthatth* county voted "no license?" That the ci'.v should be allowed to take care of itself to the detriment of the county upon which it depends for its support? That the wlilclruv Jl.ml.l hn norm I If/Id WhBn it has been decided that It is such a bad business that a man must pay five hundred dollars to the city, one hundred dollars to the county and twenty-live dollars to the United States Government before he can sell the stuff? That the clothing and bread of the children of the unfortunate Inebriate should be taken from them to pay the expenses of the cityT That ail of the money thus wrested from the people should be used in paying police for keeping drinking men Irom committing crime, and the courts for prosecuting criminals. made so by drinking? That boys should be made drunkards? That whiskey should be sold on Sunday? We say, most emphatically. No, to every one of these questions, and call upon all of the friends of the rluht to aid us in correcting these evils, and if closing up the bar-rooms by a county vote in the only way to put down monopolies, and ihe evil with them, let's Join and put them down. We are tired of a few men holding the whip over the peopleof our county. If Newberry caiYt get along without the revenue from the sale of whiskey the county will have todevlse some plan to aid her in providing for the annual expenses. In any event the monopoly of the business should be broken up. The argument against low license Is that the poor men do not keep order In their houses. We are credibly informed that, the worst order lti the city Is at oneof the touiext bar-rooms, so?called, and that the best order is a bat-room kept by a man of few pretensions. How to Flje Claim*.
