<~5V The Press aod Banner! Wednesday, April 27,1887. i The I.Horary Club. Mr. F. 15. Gary read an entertaining and Instructive paper before the Literary Club last Friday night at the house of S. C. Cason, I0s:j. His subject nas. the "Religion and l'hilosopl>y of Confucius." Tbe essayist after commenting at some length upon the influence of the Chinese scholar, whose personality, though imperfect ly revealed in the existing sources or tntortnation, could not but appear the holiest and gentlest, with one exception, in the history or thought, then proceeded to review the life 01 Confucius, from his birth to his death. He then reviewed in a concise and logical mani ner, why the religion of Confucius had been a failure, assigning us a reason for the failure, the fact that he did not appeal to niau's Infinite Aspirations. He did not address the soul from its highest thought. lie taught nothing of the Unseen?the Divine. The essayist concluded by expressing thebellef that if ever the Chinese people should be Christianized, the dawn of that event may be found far back in the humane words, the selfdevoting life, and the discouraged death of the simple Chinese scholar. The essay elicited debate and has been most pleasantly spoken of by those who heard It. Bocky Klvcr Presbyterian Chnreli. In making a record of the roll of members of Rocky River church, Itev. II. C.

Voles and XortKiigrcN Uiven by 'be Wife to Secure the Debts of Her Husband are Told?A ltnlin? by the Hupreme Court which Wipes out any Debts. One of the most important canes, if not the most important case, decided by the Supreme Court of ttiis state in several years, isthc case i?l" the Aultman and Taylor Company against Itush, in which tlie opinion was Hied last week. The facts of the cas?\ as stated by the Attorneys engaged, are as follows: In June, 1SS4, the Aultman and Taylor! Company sold to Jasper X. Husli, a citizen oft Kdgefleld county living near the town of lJradley, an engine at the prieo of taking | as security the notes of Jasper X. Hush and iiis wife Mrs. Kugenia J. Hush, a mortgage executed by Jasper X. Hush on the engine and somo other personal property, and a mortgage executed by Jasper X. Hush and Eugonia J. Hush on a tract of land in this county of 31S acres belouging to Mrs. Hush alone. The first note for 5100 fell due January 1, ISS5, and the other January 1,1SSC. Some time after the first note became payable tho Company commenced an action to foreclose tha mortgage of the land. Two defences were set up in the answer, but the one mainly relied upon was that the note and mortgage were absolutely null and void as to Mrs. Hush because at the time they were executed by herns a mere surety for the debt of her husband, and were not any benefit to her separate property and did not relate to or concern her separate property. The case was heard here last October by Judge Hudson, who decided in favor of the plainer nn.inn uniwiii to Hm Sunrome Court was prosecuted by the Attorneys of Mrs. Hush. The appeal was hoard last December. The case was ably argued by Messrs. William N. Graydon ana Kllis G. Graydon for Mrs. Rush, and Gov. J110. C. Sheppard and L. W. l'errin, Ksq., for the Aultman and Taylor Company. The opinion of the Supreme Court, filed last Wednesday by Chief JusticSlmpson and concursod in by Associate Justic Mclver, sustains to the fullest extent the position of Mrs. Rush's Attorneys, and holds that the note and mortgage are absolutely null and void as to her. Messrs. Graydon & Graydon are to be congratulated upon having won a billiant legal victory against the>trongest sort of odds. It is stnted that all the Circuit Judges and at least ninety per cent of the lawyers in the State held that such a mortgage would be val'd and binding. The case simply decides that a married woman Is not bound by any contract which she may make as a surety of her husband or of any one else whether subsequent decisions will go farther than that we cannot tell, but it is safe to say that any contract of a married woman, whet her by account, note, bond, or mortgage, executed since May 1, 18S2, is very itoubtful security. Under the law as it stood from 1870 to 1SS2, a married woman was bound by auy contract the samo as if unmarrledfhc change in the law was made by the Revised Statutes, which went into efl'ect 011 the llrst day of May, 1SS2. Any contract made by \ married woman, before that time is therefore good. If made by her since that time as \ surety for debt of her liusbaud or of any one slse it is void. It is said that there are soveral cases pending in our Court in which the same defence lias been Interposed. They are as follows: Geo. R. Sibley & Co.. against Mrs. Sarah E. Parks, heard by Judge Fraser at February lerm and not yet decided. Messrs. Henderson Bros., represent Si cley & Co., and Messrs. iraydon & Graydou and Mr. Beuet, Mrs. Pnrks. Tne Aultinan and Taylor Co., against Mrs. Dannie J. Marshall. Messrs. Perrin <fe Cothrau for plaintiff, Messrs. Parker & McGowan for defendant. The same against Mrs. Sarah J. Gibert and others. Messrs. Perrln <t Cotliran for plaintiff, Messrs. Graydon & Graydou for defendant. Foster & Lamar against Mrs. Rebecca C. 'alhoun. Messrs. Cason & Hon ham for plainifls, Messrs. Hemphill & Calhoun for defendant. VV. H. Emmcrson, as Executor, against Mrs. Letltta Merrlinan. Messrs. Cason & Bonham or plaintiff, Messrs. Gary & Gary ior defendint. J. Ij. Trlbble and G. E. Prlncc acainst Mrs. Mary A. Poore. Messrs. Graydon & Graydon or plaintiff, Messrs. Gary & Gary for defendin t. There may be special facts In some or all of he above cases that may render the delence unavailing. STONY POINTS OF VALUE. riie Xotes which Have been Rccord?d by an Esteemed Correspondedt.

A reputable citizen says that In size compared with Judge Silton't grindstone, germs, molecules, corpuscles, atoms, or other indivisible particles sink into insignificant dimlnutlveness. It is a matter of much regret that two such lovely spots as the "city park" and the "Wideman park" should he so sadly neglected.

Secession Hill Xow the MoHt Benutlfill Place In Abbeville County. The crest of Secession Hi 11 is now owned by Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, and is in a beautiful state of cultivation. The hillside on which the people assembled on historic occasions in former days is now a field of living green ?being well set in grass, beneath a grove of beautiful white oaks. On the Southern exposure of the crown of the hill is a well kept vineyard of some two hundred and fifty grape vines, including fifteen varieties. The vineyard was set In the Fall of 1884, and last year made something like fifty bushels of grapes, and this year Mr. Dupre hopes to gather at least two hundred bushels. Between the rows are vegetables, corn and melons, so that not one loot of ground is wasted. The pit or hot house, is full of the choicest flowers and the earliest vegetables. Abundant flowers grow there all winter?no artificial heat being necessary. A great quantity of his choicest flowers and fruit trees are from cuttings. A year or two ago Mrs. Lawson, whose flower garden is not surpassed for beauty and nice culture, sent him a large waiter covered (with the nicest flowers from her garden. After ornamenting his parlor for a day or two and affording pleasure to all who saw them, ho took cuttings from nearly every variety of this great collection of flowers, and planted them in pure flnc sand, in boxes with holes for drainage, and eight out of every ten grew, and .will now ornament his own grounds, as the parent stems ornament and beautify Mrs. Law son s gronnas. Mr. DuPre has many vegetables In an advanced growth. Cucumbers are nearly ready to bloom. They are growing, In the pit or hot house, In oyster cans, which have had the bottoms melted out. and which were filled with rich soli nnd placed on top of a box of sand. Tho roots arc now long, and when he chooses to set them out, he will put the cans In the ground find slip them up over the soil without disturbing It or the roots of the vegetables. In the yard beneath the shade trees he has boxes of sand in which cuttings from many varieties of valuable fruit are growing. Fine apples are there I11 abundance, while pears, and other specimens are to be seen. This Is done by putting tho cuttings In fine sand, which Is kept wet and protected from the sun. The trees thus secured cost almost nothing, and are worth fully as much as the trees from tho nurseries which cost from fifty cents to two dollars apiece. In one bed 16) choicelilliesaregrowing from the seed. Thesie plants usually sell for about fifty cents. Numbers of pecan seed have sprouted, and now the plants, aro from threo to six lnohes above the ground. In the poultry department which Is enclosed separately, Mr. DuPre has some of the choicest specimens of fowls. White Holland t.nrkevs are the finest In the world, and his specimens nre tlio finest of that variety. After experimenting for years in fancy breed fowls Mr. PiiPre has come to the conclusion that the "Wyandotte chicken is best suited to this climate, and, for all purposes, most protitahle. Hehns scores of little chicks, nnd a flno display of grown fowls of this variety. To keep a pood supply of water for his garflen and the fowls Mr. PuPre arranges nulf dozen kerosene barrels under the waterspout of the house. The waterspout outers one. and then connecting pipes convey the water to all the barrels alike. The barrels being closed at. the top no evil efl'octs from the presence of the water is experienced. A common faucet In one lets out the water as it is needed. As a whole, Secession Hill is a beauty, and it Is hoped that it may be to Mr. DuPre and his family, a Joy forev er. 'JUDGE DURHAM S REFORMATION ELIXIR" j A Certificate n?i to It* Efficacy from a U. s. CommiNsIoner. Judge Durham has been havlne: considerable trouble In the settlement os the accounts af the U. S. commissioners. The accounts of the commissioner at Montgomery, Ala., have received heroic treatment. The following is the close of a long co rrespondence between the commissioner and the First Comptroller's i >fllce on t he subject: On April 16 Commissioner Barber, at Mont-1 i;omery, wrote to Hon. J. Altheus Johnson, I chief of the Judiciary division of the First ['omptroller's office saying: "I have inferred from the many examination** of my office, that 1 iiad been especially selected as a sulta- < ble subject upon which to test the efficacy of a new medicine called "Judge Durham's Reformation Kllxlr,' and if tiio remedy was effectu.il and I was permanently killed or cured, it would bo fed to others In broken doses, liut learning that every body else had been fed with the isame spoon from the same bottle, and In big doses, without regard to politics, fear or favor, I writo good-hurnoredly i to Inquire if you do not think I am peima\iently cured. I have really honestly and conscientiously tried to please the accounting officers, and If I have failed to do so in my more recent account, it Is because I did not know how to do it." Mr. Johnson ans wered on April 19 as follows: "Your favor of the Kith instant has been received. I am not ready to pronounce the patientpmHWiirnM,!/ cured, but I think he Is convalescent. Milder medicines may an<wer the purpose now; but 1 6hall continue to keep on hand a good supply ol 'Durham's Reformation Elixir' to be used in case of a relapse. Black silk parasols for mourning. W.

Xcnrly Everybody In Xinely-Six Profosxes Religion ? Prosperous Farmer ?Ofl* to the Electric Woll Visitors Coining- rii?I (Joint;. Ninety-Six, S. C., April 25, 1887.. Dr. W. it. Anderson or our community is one of the most prosperous and successful farmers in our county. He uever speculates, but makes money at farming. His only surplus crop is cotton. He sells oats, wheat, sorghum, syrup and bacon. Only a few days ago he sold 5U0 pounds of home made bacon in our market, arid has the bulk of his cotton crop of last year on hand. Ho makes money every year and has now thirty shares of factory stock. He deals In solid facts and there is nothing theoretical about him. He is a great advocate of red clover, and says that the hay will pay for the work,and that a crop of clover Will double the value of the land for agricultural purposes. Our meeting is still going on. Mr. Leltch has done a great work here?more than seventy-five persons have Joined the different churches. Some forty-five have gone Into the Methodist church, twenty in the Presbyterian and the balance into the Baptist church. For fifteen days the church lias been crowded day and night. There has perhaps never been such an outpouring of the spirit In upper South Carolina. Capt. Jackson and wife left yesterday for the electric well lu Georgia. Mrs. Jackson has been suffering from rheumatism and they have gone there hoping that she may get relief. * Dr. Sanders had a flDe young mule to suddenly drop dead last week. Ho went Immediately to Abbeville where ho purchased another from Wallingford & Russell. The people from Chappell's and the country ni.Ann/1 + An? mnA?ln? Capt Parks and Mr. Hammond, of Abbeville. were down last week for a few day attending our meeting. Our Division of Sons of Temperance Is in a flourishingconditlon. We have now seventyfive members, and expect to have one hundred before a great while. Let the good work goon. Mr. Leltch, the evnngellst, Is lying quite sick at the parsonage. We are glad to say, however, that ije is Improving and is now out of danger. The prayers of all the good people over the land go up for his speedy restoration to health. Capt. W. R. Smith, wife and two daughters, of Chappell's, left j'esterday for their home. They have been up attending the meeting. Mrs. Purkerson, who has been quite sick for a long time Is some better. The Rev. Mr. Slokes, of Newberry, has been here attending the meeting; also the Rev.Mr. Auld, of Greenwood. Mr. H. G. Scudday is dally expected. The meeting will probably go on until there is not a sinner left to tell the tale. Miss Ella Stuart, of Greenville, Is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. L. Shumate. The farmers are about through planting cotton and corn, and ready for the fine rain. Miss Bessie Watts, of Laurens, has been attending the meeting. Weare glad to state that Ninety-Six has not been "infested with the Salvation army," as reported by a Greenwood writer. His apology, however, for his mistake was quite sufficient. Mrs. J. W. Hill, of Greenwood, was down last week visiting relatives. The Misses Turner, of Greenwood township, are here visiting their sister, Mrs. Dr. E. G. Martin. Our town has been filled with visitors from all sections of the country attending the meeting, and if we neglect to mention their names, we hope they will excuse us. EAST END. THE KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

Tho personnel of the Grand Lodge was very fine, embraclrg every profession?clergy, lawyers, doctors, merchants and farmers, and all manifested a deep interest in the order, which is last commending ltseu to ine Dusiness men of the United States, and Justly so. for it is a knightly Institution, not only sound in its business principles, but combining the social feature which unites the whole brotherhood of man in bonds Irreproachable.

Q, Rrier'i* Note and Comment. Briekwood, April 25,1S87. Tho much noeded rain has come, and nature looks refreshed. Miss Return Bond and Miss Mamie Taegart. of Greenwood, spent Saturday night with relatives in our community. A friend writing from Taylor county, Fla, says: "I saw a novel sight Inst Sunday, viz., a largo number of people going to church in ox-carts. The church being a log house, cracks unstopped, and backless wooden benches for seats." It may shock some Abbevillian,accustomed to dashing around In a fine bugsry, to know that In many plaecs in Florida a bugcry is an Almost unknown luxury. In the backwoods of Madison county the writer lias fiequently met with families, going to church and elsewhere, tho "olo 'oman and chillnn" Ill out' C"I1U *./? UI1U Will b, HIO lUIIIII^ UUli 1 "H tho other, while the"olo man, astraddle ihe beast attached to it, drove the cart." Quite a liumberof Ilrierwood people attended divine service In Greenwood Sunday evening, hearing an eloquent sermon from tho evangelist Dr. Mundv. Mrs. Golden, of Laurens, has been spending sometimo with her son, Mr. Wis tar Golden. Mrs. Martha Anderson, wife of Mr. N. Anderson, Sr., is ill. A writer in the Messenger seems surprised that the Farn crs Clubs have cone down, and thinks that new, at the beginning of the crop, the most necessary time for them to exist. He doesn't Hfem to know that we farmers don't care much about such things, only just previous to an election. Perhaps the number of men that rede into ofliceon the shoulders of the "farmers movement.'' in South Carolina will never be known, while a recounting of the number that would have liked to have dono so but failed, would be still harder to come at. BRIKIt. The quaint old Irish ballad, "Kitty of Coleralne," is charmingly illustrated by Edwin A. Abbey in the Mny Harper's. As tills little ballad is seldom found In collections of poetry, we reprint it entiro: As beautiful K itty one morning was tripping. with n. nltciier of milk from the fair of Color a i no, When she saw ine sho stumbled, the pitcher It tumbled, And nil the jweet buttermilk watcr'd the pluiu. Oh, what shall I do, now? 'Twas looking nt you, now. Sure, sure, such a pltchor I'll no'or meet again. 'Twas tho pride of my dairy. Oh, Barney M'Leary, You'ro sont as a plague to the girls of Coleralne! I Eat down beside her, and gently did chide her. That such amlsfortune should give her such pain. A kiss thoa I i;nve her. Before I did leave her, She vow d tor such pleasure she'd break it again. 'Twas the haymaking Konson. I can't tell the reasonMisfortunes will never come single?that's plain? For, very noon after poor Kitty's disaster, No pitcher was whole In Coleraine. The current serials in Harper's ^Tagazinc are very strong. Tho May Number contains the fourth part of Mr. Howells's Boston society novel, ''April Hopes," and tho tilth part of Kathleen O'Meara's Russian novel, "Narka." Now Is tho timo to do your painting.

Or If upon the bloody flQlds Which crimson swords had made Amidst the battle's flash and roar, Or 'neath the cannonade. lie ever tried to fully reach Life's high and noble end; Exemplified the purest tvpe Of statesman, soldier, friend. Ills love for country and his God, No sordid ends could blight; His. manly voice was ever hoard Defending truth and right. And when his State had called him forth Her standard proud to bear, He nobly came, while hope arose And banished every fear. When battle's din was bushed, and he His country's heart had won. Amidst defeat he nobly proved A still more faithful son. Again his welcome voice was raised Against the vandal's wealth Which had grown great with force obtained By rapine and by stealth.
