The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE. S.C. Wednesday, Sept. 14,1887. I>CM|?oilerN or Character. In the columns of a religious newsnaperr and In the Christian pulpit we would naturally look for the best lessons in morality, for the mostcommemlableexamplesof brotherly love and Christian courtesy, as well as for tlic most perfect precept and conduct.conforming as nearly as possible to the example of our Great Exemplar. For this reason it can be but painful to the reader to notice valuable space in the religious newspaper occupied by self laudation of the editor, or in his appllca* Hon of abusive epithets to even an erring brother. Has It come to this, that ministers of the gospel must resort to the use of villainous language, which may be too often used without a due regard to their conformity with the facts. Is It creditable to the ministry tor one preacher of the gospel to impeach the veracity of another? In imputing bad motive to taia ad versary and in the making of charges which au unprejudiced public may deem unjust and malicious, does a preacher of the gospel, a follower ot the meek and lowly Jesus, advance his cause or elevate himself In the eyes of the public? We leave the reader to answer. As a matter of fact, wo do not recollect many instanees where any animated discussion by any preacher, or between preachers, where one or both of them did not, in a manmer more or less impolite, charge his adver sary with telling what was not true, n men the religious editors and querulous preachers are to be believed, are not the great majority of men whom we have been always taught to regard with holy reverence, wholesale liars, and the embodiment of every mean principle? We believe it to be the duty of the pious men of the church to give the preachers who make grave charges against brother preachers, au opportunity to prove the truth of their charges or failing to do so, then silence them from preaching. No man who makes a false accusation against the character of another is fit to appear in the pulpit. If lie can sustain the charge of lying aeainst any brother preacher, then the sinning brother should be made to step down and out of his holy ofliec. If a preacher believes another preacher to be a liar, he should have him brought to the bar of the church, that he may answer the charge. To charge an adversary, at a great distance, with lying, is much easier than to answer an argument, or to refute a statement in a convincing manner, and it may be for this rea?nn Diut n nrnnchpr here and there has adopt ed a standard which Is at variance with the conduct of the best of the secular pre';.s. It will be a cause of congratulation when the religious newspapers and the preachers of' the gospel may be willing to concede the fact that other men may be as good as they are, even though holding different views of the question at issue. A ?w Survey is N"ce<le?l. I am much interested in having n road! graded from Pickens Court House t'> Greenville. Thiscan be done easily and at hut small cost to the road hands. If we can obtain the necessary consent from the land owners, the changes could be made in a week, thereby saving all the heavy draft 011 stock and shorten the distance. Commence near the Court House and locate duck ui lue ivciil-j 1'iukc iiuvmntimg ~... place at the end of the grade on the C. O. A C. R. R. in the field where Toney Ferguson lives; and then talco the old road from there to Major's branch. Hero I have the consent of the land owners, and will very soon relocate that road around the hill; then turn to the left at James Ferguson's, and run pas I Keese Bowen's to Cedar Rock where we would intersect the old road. This can be done* and shorten the distance to l'iekens more than two miles and have no hill. Then run from Williams" at Cedar Rock straight to Fowler's Creek, making an important cut off. X>i other change until we reach O'Shca's, where the hill is almost insurmountable, a slight deflection there will obviate that, and a straight line from Col. R. K. Puwen's to Mr. John T. Gossett's will put a road in perfect shape for elie heuviest trafllc of that section of country. A sain a line from Pickens to Eusley via Duke's shop, keeping pretty much the It. It. survey to Duke's present residence, and then go to the left of Arial's mountain will make the most practical, economical and short route to your present railroad depot.?Correspondent Pickens Sentinel. We copy the above extract, as it goes to prove what we have often said, that wo need a new survey of our public highways. Sup pose we had a new survey of any road, we could get n route almost level. The hllliest roads in Abbeville county could be so changed as to be the levelest. The Aiif(iis(n Chronicle. A new paper was started in Augusta about two months ago. From the first, Mr. Walsh asserts, that paper has almost daily?not by any system of warfare which would commend itself to public favor?not by any open frank assault, but by insinuation and inn. endo?sought to injure the business of the Chroniclc and endeavored to despoil Mr. Walsh of his good name. To none of this has Mr. Walsh replied until last Sunday morning his paper contained an open letterfrora him reciting the manner in which he had been treated hy the men whose sole object seemed to be to destroy his character, and to lay violent hands on his business. Mr. Walsh snvs lie welcomes "honorable" competition, and the public, we believe, is generally glad to encourage "honorable'' competition, bat the great mass of the people of this country will never support and endorse any enterprise which depends for lis success mainly upon a system of hate, misrepresentation, and despoliation. It takes active energy, business tact, worth, and the promulgation of high and honorable principles to engraft a newspaper on the great public heart, and It is to bo hoped that the time may never come in this country when men who have risen to high position by their own manly efforts, may be banished from a well-earned place in the people's hearts by a competitor whose highest motive may be to rob him of his good name, that he may take from him tho business that has come to him by years of arduous toil and honorable dealing with his fellow man, A Better Way to Spend Ilie Money. There can be no better way r.f spending n ' 1 "? '"II" ? I. A nil, r, I .. <11,1,1 than In applying them to the training o! teachers.?Columbia Record. We suggest that our contemporary is mistaken. A betterway to spend "a fo\v hundred 'dollars of the county school fund" would be to open a school where a number of tlie children who cannot read and write may learn their first lessons in an education. If the public school fund was more evenly divided among the people more good would be done. Instead of unlawfully appropriating the public money for the support of high schools in the villages to teach Greek and Latin to favored classej, would not more good be done If the money was spent according to law, in teaching children to read and write the English language. The teacher, we presume, is able to take care of himself, but lie has many friends among the press, while the backwoods ignorant children seem to have fewer friends. Lancnstcr'N A miction. It will be remembered that some of the doctors of Anderson thought the Murray prohibition bill was a reflection on the profession. At a public meeting in Lancaster the followlugresolution in reference to the! fthiisn which the Murray bill intended to! prevent, was adopted. It speaks for Itsolr: "Resolved, That the prescriptions and certificates by physicians for spirituous liquors as they are generally given are u public grievance, anil we appeal to our physicians as members of a high and noble profession no longer to bring ieproach upon the profession by such subterfuges and wrongful practices." sgj Itye!

Georgia, like Soutli Carol inn; has much money for negro education, but when it! comes to providing for tlie wants of needy Confederate soldiers the lamentation of hard timesand the scarcity of money goes up from every hill-top. The failure of the Southern Confederacy furnishes no reason why we should he ungrateful to the Confederate soldier, neither does the defeat of the Confederate arms furnish any just reason for the taxation of Confederate soldiers, their widows and orphans to raise money with which to educate negroes whereby they may become more elllcient disturbers of the public peace.

Editor Prefix mid Banner: On Tuesday, September fith, in company with my father. 1 started on a tiip up the mice. We round the cotton crop in the vicinity of Anderson very good. The new road law in Anderson county is a success, Judging ironi tlie excellent condition in which we found the roads. We spent an hour or ho nt Anderson, whore we hail the pleasure of shaking hands with a number of friends. Night found us Ley on d the Seneca in the west ern portion of the county the guests of Mr. William lirownlec who was born and reared in Due West. Mr. Hrownlec bus a good farm 011 t lie Seneca. OnWedmsday we passed through TownvilJe, a beautiful little village. Near tills place we saw evidences of the terrible destruction done by the cyclone a few years ago. The very largest trees were torn up by tlie roots and dashed to the ground. On the skirt of the woods a school house was blown down,and one child killed by the falling timber. A man living near by told us that lie was working near uie piaco wnere me cyclone j-assed; thai ho heard the noise and thought it was coming directly to him, but fortunately found himself mistaken. A good many pits have been dug since that time. The corn and cotton crop about Towuvilie is very line indeed. From Wednesnay niaht tiil Friday morning we spent our lime In Walhalla and it* vicinity. Quite a number of nice new houses are being built there. The railroad is being extended up Into the central portion of the town. This will prove a great convenience mid will save travelers many a half-dollar. We found very few guests at the hotel and not many strangers upon the streets. Ilere we met Col. Thompson, u lawyer or prominence now, who was ouee a printer at Due West; and we also had the pleasure of meeting Col. Keith. Friday noon found us at Fort Mill, formerly thf> residence of John C. Calhoun. It Is occupied now by Col. Clemson, the son-in-law of Mr. Calhoun. It is a pretty plaee. You enter first a beautiful lawn in front of the house. You then open a second gate and approach the house ty a walk, lined on cacti side by trees. We found Col. Clemson in his study, with his morning gown and cap on, reclining upon a lounge and engaged in reading. He is very tall, and is quite an old gentleman. Ho was at one time Minister to 15elgiuni. lie received us very pleasantly and it seemed to afford him pleasure to give us as much information about the place as possible. The room In which we found Mr. Clemson was used by Mr. Calhoun as a dlulngrooiu. In it is a side-board which belonged to Mr. Calhoun, and was made from the vessel called the Constitution. On cach end oi It is a long horn, taken from a small animal captured in llie Mediterranean Sea, and presented to Mr, Calhoun by Decatur. The walls of the room are lined with pictures and splendid oil paintings, some of them by the old masters. I remember one was me wont 01 Rembrandt and another was by Hubens. He lias a tine portrait of Mr. Calhoun, and a life size picture of Mrs.Calhoun. Ilealso showed us through the room once occupied by Mr. Calhoun as his parlor. Its walls, too, are ornamented by oil paintings. That of Mrs. Clemson is almost faultless. Colonel Clemson is fund of talking of Mr. Calhoun and wasoneof liis greatest admirers. The hour spent there will be long remembered. We spent Friday night iu Anderson. It is a thrifty, enterprising town. Here we found several young men who went rrom Abbeville, aud all of them are doing well. Customers from Abbeville will tlnd themselves pleasantly waited on in the grocery room of Itleckl.v, lirown A Fret we! I by our young friend Jatnes Pearson ol Due West.

One of the most pleasant evenings was had last week at a dime reading, in favor of the Ladies' Missionary Society. The room was crowded, the reading and music good, and the receipts flattering. Rev. Mr. Pearson Is to preach at Harmony church, in Hart county, Ga., next Sunday. The demand for preaching from our Due Westminister this summer is very great. The colored llaptists have just closed an Association meeting at Springfield church, four miles north of this place. The road yes- | tcrdav was Jammed with vehloles going In that direction. It is estimated tliut three thousand were on the ground. As the vacation days draw to a close, our i young people avail themselves more frequently ot socials, parlies, and such like. , The four-year-olds had a pleasant gathering j al Dr. Wldeman's last week. The larger size , boys and girls met at Mr. Power's, and the the more sedate had a delightful picnic in | one of the hulls. Mrs. L. M. Bonner has returned from a four weeks' trip North. She and Mr. II. E. Bonner have been canvassing In the Interest oi the Female College, and the prospects for a full school are encouraging. The merits of the college are so well known that a word In ' Its favor would be of no avail. We hope their highest anticipations will be more than realized. l)r. Grler left here last Thursday for Mc v.ui iiiiur, wnerc 111: tvtH k? ium i He then went to Newberry county to All noil appointment rmuic by his Presbytcy. On 11 the fourth Sunday lie will preach at Union y Academy. I The hoys who went to Abbeville last week j to play baseball were very much disappoint- i ed, They report that the Abbeville boys < could not be Induced to play, and the worst \ of it is that they had to return home In the 1 heat and dust without any dinner. Doubt- t less there tnust have been u misunderstanding, lor we never heard of Abbeville treating r any one that way before. Explanations are I now In order. t The attendance at Shiloh yesterday to hear Kvangelist l.eitch was certainly large. Due i W'esl-was well represented, as it has been all the past week. '1 he exercises yesterday were t conducted with the utmost docorutn, and l and there was no disposition on the part of t the people to criticise, so lar as we heard. While services of this kind are open to crit- r icism, so are all oilier services. Hut if the \ plain and forcible presentation of the truth i t>y preachers or evangelists, In their peculiar 1 style, can accomplish the good that Is cer- I tainly being done, then we should not condemn either the nun or their methods, v The masses need the truth presented In a I plain and striking manner, and the at- c attendance from day to day, for weeks at n time is proof sulllclent that they appreciate h whnt is being said and done.

Dr. Hawthorne** Growing 1'assion and Iurreasptl Capacity Tor Bitter Vituperation and Abuse. Greenville yews. Dr. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, lias shown into what extremes of unwisdom a really able mac can go. by bis behavior In his controversy with Col. W. C. Henet, who under the name of "Anxious Inquirer" charged him with plagiarism. In each fresh stage of the controversy, the lteverned Doctor has shown triowing passion and increasing capacity lor bitter vituperation ami abuse. Hut he threw away the last hold he could have had on the respect of honest minded, disinterested men, when lie lugged the matter into the pulpit last Sunday. The sermon which he Is report?.l ... 1..... I.. I, Id ?? Atlimto has less religion and more abusive personal!- ' tics, vulgar comparisons and uncharitable Insinuations than we have ever seen comprised ( in the same space. Mr. lionet bus gotten the best of the controversy, because he has acted what lie Is?a gen- , tleman. Dr. Hawthorne has lost because he has failed to fulfill the pledge of his high calling and laid aside the christian character when he put on the garb ol the lecturer, and controversialist. , The croat trouble with Dr. Hawthorne seems to have boon the same error Into which , so many men. who are accustomed to being t worshipped, nave fallen. He has mistaken himself for the cause he represented, and <; when a personal shortcoming was brought be- \ fore him, he immediately fancied an attack on prohibition. Dr. Hawthorne Is about as j far Irom being the prohibition cause Impersonated, as Mr. Bonet Is far from being the , agent of the "dognery keepers" with which the doctor charges him. And that is saying a ?] Doctor Hawthorne's friends are doing hiin | nn Injury by endorsing Ills position. They l( doubtless inmn well, but the best thing they I could do for him and for It is reputation just | now, would be to keep him from saying any- ; thing until lie gets cool and capable of rea- ; souing.

This brother calls things by their right names, and though his phraseology is sometimes offensive to 'ears polile," lie does a vast deal of good wherever he goes. Miss Lilly liarr, of Anderson and Miss Leila Grogan, of Elberton, are visiting Miss Mattie and Miss Miunle Leu Harper, of Lowndesville. Mrs. Ellen Patterson, quite an aged lady, in returning from Shlloh last Friday in a wagon, whs tilted out. Her left arm was broken near the wrist and she was considerably bruised about the face. Messrs. T. Baker & Son have moved their entire stock of goods into their new brick store on ine norm siuc 01 main street, wnrre they have ample room for the display of their goods, and the better accommodation of their customers. The above removal obliterates another of Lowndesville's landmarks. The storeroom vacated, being under same roof as .Mr. Maker's residence, he will at once have It altered, ns to make it a creditable addition to his already tasteful dwelling. At the same place, merchandise has been continuously sold sluce 1S34 when Mr. Matthew Young, If not the founder of this place, was at least the pioneer in "store keeping" here, first opened up a stock of goods, to suit tho needs and taste of all, und "at rock bottom prices." Cap. O. Witter, having decided to shorten his stay in this place, has been selllnc some of his personalty privately, and lias disposed of the rest at auction. He will at once leave for Pelzer. Mr. P. L. Sturkey moved to-day Into the Latimer House run this year by Capt. Witter, where he proposes, and will be prepared, to entertain regular or transient boarders. Miss May Do'nnld. "sweet six," gave u birthday party to a number of her little friends, on hist Thursday evening. As we were a little too old, we were not honored with an Invita iinythingiu regard to It, but the happy participants, wlili one voice, declare It to have been a very enjoyable affair. It was rather amusing to some of us to see the young "lords r>f creation," from six to ten years old. calling for and accompanying the little misses to this Juvenile gathering, and it was rather more so for some of the" "young men" to allow their fears after dark of "booger bears" 10 override their gallantry, and to t>-ii "their r?ir ones" they must get sonic one else to go | hoinc with them, as they would then be ifrnid to go home by themselves. Since writing the above, wc have learned that the meeting in the liaptist church lias been postponed for two weeks. TKOUPE.

IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The IMreetors of the Chamber of Commeree Adopt Some Ringini; Itesolutions?The Comity Court Asked to Submit a Proposition. Knoxvllle Tribune. The Tribune made mention of tlie fact yesterday that Ihere hart been a meeting of the county cotn 111 itleeund the Chamber of Commerce committee on the Carolina, Knoxvllle and Western roart. These committees agreed I on u 8ni 01 resolutions which hum wj oc submitted to the Directors of the Chamber of I Commerce lor their ratification or rejection. Yesterday there was a call meeting of the illrectors and the resolutions were presented to that body. At the meeting there was a full discussion of the outlook for the Carolina, Knoxvllle and Western road, its finances and other Items of Interest. The directors were convinced of the reliability of the company and of the Importance of Knox county coming to Its aid In order that Its completion might be secured at an early day. Mr. Fouche moved that the following resolutions reported by the joint committee ol the Knox county court and the Chamber ol Commerce be adopted as expressing the views of the board of directors: Whereas, We have examined Into the proposed "Carolina, Knoxvllle and Western Railroad Company," and the capacity of said company to carry through said enterprise, we find the following: First. That the building of said railroad would be of incalculable advantage to the farming Interest of Knox county and East Tennessee, and the marble, coal and timber 1 ? a. ?? ? ~ r ''If L-aiillnn oc vi'ol I no th/? llliei'L'atn U1 IIIIO ?

Second. That said railroad, with the aid of 8200,000 proposed tobeglveult by Greenville, S, C., ?100,000 by the counties of Transylvania and Haywood, North Carolina, and ?75,000 by Sevier county, Tennessee, and the 8100,000 asked of Knox county, Tennessee, and $50,000 private subscription, can be built. Third. That the Georgia Construction Compmiy, which company proposes to build said railroad, Is composed of some of the leading business men of Augusta, Ga., and have the financial ability ana character, to carry out said enterprise more successfully. Fourth. That Knox county will not be asked to Issue any bonds or make any payment on lis subscription until said railroad Is completed, and trains running through to Aligns* la. Ga., the county having the right to pay snld subscription beurlng 5 per ccnt. interest running twenty years. Fifth. The the citizens of Knoxville have manifested the most substantial interest in tiiis road by subscribing over ?38,000 in private subscriptions, which In all probability will be increased to 560,000. Now, therefore, in view of the above facts, be it Resolved by the undersigned committees, appointed by the county court of Knox counTon.-, onH tho Phiimiipr of fommcrco ofl Knoxviile. Tcnn. First. That the one hundred thousand dollars subscription which said railroad company proposes to ask from Knox county should be promptly submitted to a vote of the people by the county court; that the same should be cheerfully voted and that every lawful effort should be used by the Chamber of Commerce and the county court and all enterprising citizens toward securing said subsubscription by Knox county. Second. That tbe Chamber of Commerce be and it is hereby requested to take immediate steps to aid said railroad company In securing said subscription. Geo. L. Moloney, chairman; Frank A.

A nclcrsoii Journal. If anytlitug touches a sympathetic chord among the peoplu of this section It Is tbe mention of probable, or even possible, com {xenon or me oia isiuc uiue ramunu. ii. mis >een the dream ol more thnn a generation, and at times It was the pet of almost the entire State. Nature has provided that the most direct and most feasible outlet to the West from South Carolina is through Rabun Gap, and all attempts to prove some other route across the mountains as equally practicable have proved futile in nnarly every instance. It can thus be understood how much interest centers about u late rumored determination to complete the old favorite highway between the West and the sea. A great deul Is conjectured and surmised, but as yet very little Is known beyond the fact that prospectors have been ouL along tiie line, that the old route lias been Inspected, the amount of work estimated, and the status of the several churters carefully inquired into. Last Tuesday morning MnJ. Wm. H. Case came to Anderson to confer with representative men In repaid lo the present status of the partially graded road between NValhailu and the Georgia line in the direction of Kabuu Gap, and in the afternoon he depurted for Atlanta. He represents the Cumberland Valley and Ilnake Railroad Company, which proposes to open aline of road leading from Nashville across the Cumberland plateau, by way of Kuoxville and Rabun Gap, to deep water on the seaboard. The company is mainly Interested in the production of coal and Iron, and MoJ. Case says In casting about them they lind their most favorable outlet to ! ! /? < < ii,lo (liiwitftn f<il f'nl?* of railroad! lame in Tennessee, is interested In the enterprise, and it was to confer with hiin that MhJ. Case left for Atlanta. He says their first object is to open a road through to Rabun Uap, and thence by the most favorable route to the sea. If the right of way and franchises to Walhallu can be secured, and a satisfactory trafllc arrangement there made with the Richmond and Danville lines, the object of tlie comoany will be attained. If not, it is desired to como to Anderson, and if satisfactory arrangements cannot be made here, then push on in the direction of deep water. This is about all that we learn now, but future developments will be watched with unabated interest. TheJCcowce Courier last week made the following mention of the rumored revival of the old enterprise: This great thoroughfare, which has been discussed for upwards of forty years, and the building ol which was begun thirty years ago, lias to-day a fairer prospect of being completed though under a now name, than ever before. A company of capitalists from New York and Louisville, wno are interested In coal and iron mines along and beyond the route of the old partly graded road, propose to build a road from the Cumberland Valley In Tennessee through the Blue Ridge to the scacoast. The new road will be known as I lie Cumberland Valley and Unake Road, and is expected to follow as far ns possible the route of lllue Ridge Road via ('layton, Ga., to Walhaila ar.d thence to Charleston. The sur" i"" inn " imrw fOiftrtfA of ('ol. Coleman reached Walhalla last Saturday and returned ! to Teunes?ee ou Monday. Tlie survey from j Clayton Eastward follows the old line, of which 70 per cent, of t.'ie grading lias been done. Estimates will be made of the cost of completing the road, partly graded; but before any pcrnianeut location Is made, other surveys and estimates will be made through Georgia and South Carolina, and the most favorable and least expensive route will be adopted. The road will not run directly to I Knoxvlllc, but South of it 40 or 50 miles; but, j as it taps roads running to ICnoxvllle, it; serves all the purposes of tlio Blue Ridge and penetrating farther, opens up new and undeveloped sections of country, rich In mineral. We do not rest our hope of the road being built on the belief it will In Itself be a paying investment to the owners, at least for years to come, but on the value ol the road to the investment of its owners In coal and mineral land. It Is the nearest and best route to the eoaetand its completion would enchance the property of these capitalists (\ve suppose) far| more than the cost of the road. We hear also | that the company has been buying lands along the route, which augurs well that they are in earnest. We earnestly hope It will be built and run by Walhaila.
