It kins horn our constant nlm to make the Press ami Thinner a welcome visitor to the lireside* of the people of Ablieville county, and whatever we have failed to accomplish in the | past has fieen due to our inability,or to a laelc j of a knowledge of the proper way in which to I direct r'lr energies, l'cing encouraged l>v the j kindly words of cheer that have greeted us. j and being irrutiflcdut the substantial evidence j of public favor wlilelt has rewarded our efforts, we have concluded to add a new feature to the columns of the Prosuml Jimnier, and shall hereafter devote more space to moral lessons anil religious intelligence than we have heretofore done. In doing this, we shall relinquish nothing of our energy ami our efforts t<> give the county and State news lint shall double our efforts to publish all matters of a local nature which may be of public interest. "We have nhle and watchful correspondents from various sections of tlie county, and we hope to add other contributors to our columns as soon as the opportunity may present itself. The county newspaper should. In our opinion, devote the larger part of its space and its energies to the publication of the fullest ami most accurate reports of whatever or punue Interest may bo occurring or transpiring within the limits of the county in which It Is printed. All this should be done In an entertaining manner, and should he expressed in the purest and best English at the command of the editor and his correspondents. The New York printed side of our paper prints an endless variety of the choicest and best matter for every department. We shall direct our energies entirely to the publication of those matters which are of a local nature. The newspaper lias now become an aid in all the different pursuits in life, and It returns so great a benefit for the small outlay in money that no person who hopes toatt .in any degree of success in life can afford to isnore the newspaper. There Is not a man in any of the departments of the world's great workshop who can afford to do without the local newspaper. Long ago the people were educated by orators and speakers who addressed the assembled multitude. Afterward came the preacher and the school teacher. Since then the printing press and the newspaper have as silently and as quietly l;"*?n at work,?if not iu supplanting the preacher and the school teacher,?certainly in doing a good work in encouraging a commendable love of letters and in disseminating the wholesome truths of cur holy religion. In fact, it has been claimed that no man can read ten dollars worth of newspapers for ten years without becoming educated, and it is boldly asserted by some of the leading journals of tho day that the secular press has done and is doing more for the spread of the gospel than the combined efforts of every preacher in the land. Whether these claims he true or not, we presume tho man cannot he found who will deny that the secular press is as least a powerful ally of the preacher and an efficient aid to the school teacher. Ourch'ldren receive not only lessons in language and morals from the secular press, but they receive religious instruction from the AKttAtic niwl Yv?nr?i\rn thf> rf?fitllll!5 and sweetening; influences of thechoicest productions of the best writers and speakers of the world. Tlmt the people demnnd religious rending is amply proved by the fact of the existence oi newspapers which are exclusively religions ir. their utterances, and the fact that religious newspapers exist at all may bo considered in some degree a reflection on the conduct of the secular press in not answering the almost universal demand for religious and moral instruction. If, therefore, the secular press would recognize and discharge tluirduty in reference to church news, religious intelligence, and moral lessons, there would be no longer any more necessity for a purely reli giotts press than there Is fora purely patriotic press. All new-papers should be no less religious than patriotic. As a matter of fnet.tho "ecular press is, and should be, more attractive and more valuable in the house-hold, than tlie purely religious press. A good secular newspaper Is ar. indispensable article in every intelligent family. It is diflicult to understand how the head of any faintly claiming decency and respectability In this day and time, can consent to Jive without a new-paper in tlie house. Relieving then that the secular press should labor for the advancement of the spiritual as won us uie ieuijn>rui |iiu>(ji'iuj *u i? find the editor of tho I*ress and Banner not being willing himself to undertake tho important duty of editing a religious department is pleased to be able to make the statement that he lins made an arrangement whereby he Jias secured the co-operation of the Rev. Sidi II. Browne in editing a whole or a part of a page of this newspaper, which will for tlie present year at least contain some articles which ho may write or select. Tho article which ho may write or select will be printed in larg< type, while tho remainder of the paper will be printed as heretofore, in small type. This arrangement will answer every demand, both a* to size of type and variety of matter. With the asslntilice of as good a man as Mr. Browne, who possesses the love and confidence of all who know him, we feel sure that we can print in lsSTa better newspaper thai: has ever gone out from tho Press and Rainier oftlee, and that an increased popularity of the Press and P.nnner is assured. In the hope that the public may appreciate our efforts to serve them well and faithfully. nnu tliat our new departure in ttie eiiort to combine the religious with tHe sccular may beof advantngealike to publisher and reader, wo present Mr. Rrowne to a reading public wtio already know and love him. His editorial ami other matter will appear weekly hereafter. A > ceilrd l.iuv. The excessive costs of winding up small estates has been the subject of much comment, and the high costs in civil suits has been a just cause of complaint. At the last HiitiiiK of tlie Legislature the .senate passed a Hill, which was introduced by Mr. Murray, to regulate Taxed Costs in Civil suits, which was not reached by the House, and will prok,. ^n.LV.,1 O* tbn L'Aoel/tn Tl,/. iJill reduces all costs of one-half in eases named and allows costs to reference only to the winning side, and only for the neccssary number of days. The 15111 Is sis follows: Suction 1. That from and after the passage of this Act, taxed costs allowed l'luintitl's' and Defendants' Attorneys, Masters, Kelerces, Clerks of Court and Sheriff's, in nil actions for partition or marshaling assets, where the estate dots not exceed one thousand dollars, nnd in nil actions fu* foreclosure where the sum claimed does not. exceed three hundred dollars, shall only be one-half of the costs allowed in like cases where the sum exceeds one thousand dollars. Skc. 2. That in all equity causes, fees for attending references shall be allowed only t<> the attorney who succeeds in the issue tried in such reference shall be taxed for any attorney which the Master or ltefcrce shall certify to have been necessary and unavoidable in the cause. No reference shall be allowed lot establishing an uncontested claim. I.a?t week a i^-yoar old nojrn) lw>y was eouvicted *>f stealim: a chicken In Atlanta. and :lie newspaper report says, "In view of his picvious jrood ehaiactor tlie .luilste lined hin. j sin or live months service on the chain jyiiijr." !

The only ndvcr-'- erllieiviM *;ett we wouio make of their action is*,: 1 rat'-: shor.!<! have bet-n sl.?, SI2.J0 und *10. according to grade of teacher. The trustees, presumably, were chosen because of tlieir fitness for tlie position which they hold, and their action in rcdncimr the salaries of ti'iiehcrs was, no doubt in the interest, and for the benHit. of tin; child.en of Abbeville county, as the proUnnrod term. ov tlu* Increased nuinbi-rof schools will fitl.y attest b.-foie '.tie rlu.se of the scholastic year. The school fund is fur hriie'U of the children, and by ivdneiii'! the fee- wl i.-it nri* paid from their fund, the sclion's will le con" in nod for a lomjtr period, and th<* children will conse |Ucntly s;et more service for the same money. Twenty dollars a month in these hard tlt:ns is a considerable h.'lp to the schools, and i:i many instances,it is sullieient. to pay the entire salary of the teaelier. It is all very nice to talk about hiuli salaries, and it would no doubt lie exceedingly pleasant, for the trustees of the different townships to pr y the hischrr salaries if they I.ad the money, but they have not got it, and they do not, as far as we are informed, intend to deny schools to any ot the people in order that other communities may have the extra money with which to pay fancy prices to fancy teachers. Nobody objects to teachers gettinn as l)If? salaries as their services will command, but the present school trusties do not Intend to waste the public fund in hiuh salaries and thus close the schools on short time; neither ?1* they propose to uivc the rich ami influential parents all the schools. The school trustees have no iileu of dividing out the public fund among the teachers until after they shall have worked for It, and earned the money. They have no means of forcing ft teacher to take a school. It is altogether a matter of choice with the teacher whether lie takes a school or not. If he thinks the salary, as prescribed, too low, he can go elsewhere to teach, and find a community of rich people who will pay him his price. Let all dissatisfied teachers rjuit the business. There will no doubt be found plenty of good tcachcrs ready lo take their places. The complaint may como from those who seek to make dissatisfaction with the new administration, or it may come from teachers who would have no conscientious scrnples In drawing larger salaries, or it may come from teachers who arc laboring, as they think, for the public good, but we are quito well satisfied in our own mind that it does not come from the school children or the parents of poor children who are anxious for school privileges for those who are dependent. Kditor Wilson of the Abbeville Prrx.t and Runner gets up one of the newsiest papers in ths state; but lie would have to use larger type if lie printed it in Newberry, or ye old folks would boycott him.?yewberry Herald oml yews. We thank our friend for the compliment to the Press and lianner. We shall not raise the question as to whether we deserve the kind words, but we trust that the Herald and .Views I may not object to a dissent on the expression about tlio large typo. Wo believe the idea | that the people object to small type Is erroneous. Wc also believe that small print is more easily read than large print. The city newspapers hare circulations a thousand times greater tlian the country newspapers, and yet the city newspapers almost invariably u smaller type than the country newspapers. Although the IlcraUl and Xrir.t stands deserv t'dly hisrh with Iho people and the brethren ; the press, yet we believe the I/rrtthl rind X< u> would he improved by using type of the san>< size as that on which the Prrsx mid Jtanner i!>rinte?l.
