The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE. S.C. Wednesday, October 19,1887 Talking Back nt the Preacher. Nashville, Oct. 11.?McKcudree churcl the leading M. church of Nashville, Tenn was int* Ui quite a nvim.iuuu ucvoui day. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Candler, delive: eda very severe and bitter sermon on tlie !>ut jectof theatres. Miss Emma Abbott occupie a seat In the rear of the church, and at th conclusion of the sermon, aroseand in a shor 6peech entered a protest against the very ger eral character of the pastor's denunciator It produced the greatest sensation, and ha since been the one topic of conversation ii fiarlors, In family circles, upon the streets am n public places. Many members of his cli urc! uphold the pastor, but many others commem the course of Miss Abbott. Her appearanc showed much indignation, but her word were very clear and distinct and were heart by all present. She declared the minister' charges unfounded, and that her life was a free from blame as that of any living woman In all the operas of the past week to whirl the minister referred, there was no impure o Improper thought. The great lights of th stage, such as Jenny Lind, Mojeska, am countless others, had been good women, mod el wives ana mothers. She defied any one t< say that aught had ever been said against th fair fame of Emma Abbott. There was con siderable applause at the conclusion of her rc marks. Belore it subdued, Mr. Candler an swered that he could not answer the lady, be cause she was a lady. During the day, as th affair became known, a great many ladie who had met Miss Abbott socially, called 01 her and commended her spirited defeuce o herself and her profession.?Associated I'rcs .. , Dispatch. The Columbia Register endorses and crediti the following to the Augusta Gazette: i "We cannot shut in our consciousness fron the lamentable fact that there prevails with i certain considerable clasi of newspapers a de generate tendency to gloat with greedy fervo over every incident which seems to incline to ward the embarrassment or compromise o the pulpit or the church. This is deplorable Whenever the press of the country shall n< longer be relied on to sustain the pulpit as t social bulwark, then the hard work of th< churches must soon exhaust the single-hand ed help which abides alone in the pastor. I has come to an unhappy pass when the news paper press, or any respectable part of it, cai be made to pander to a depraved public tasti which belongs to the irreligious tendencies o certain classes in every community, bu which should have no response In any sort o journalism which is flt to be read by Chris tlans." "We are unable to account for the custon which seems to obtain with some members o the press to berate or defame brethren whon they may conclude have committed an erroi of speech or have adopted a principle or odvo cated a cause from which they dissent. Th< man who makes wholesale denunciation o; the press, no less than he who makes whole sale attacks on the pulpit, or any other class of citizens, commits a grievous error. If however, any newspaper has "gloated ovei "any Incident which would embarrass or com "promise the pulpit or the church" we hav< not seen It. We believe the secular press ii and has been for years a handmaid of the pul pit, and we believe much of the good whicl the secular press is now doicg in the dissemi nation of gospel truthsand in the publicatior of religious information is largely due to th( piety, tact and wisdom of the pulpit Th< pulpit acknowledges the sccular press as j power, and the wisdom of the pulpit has in duoed it to seek to utilize a force so powerfu as the secular press. In saying this we do no mean to say that the press is subservient t< anybody, but we mean to say that the stand ards of the secular press have been raised s< high in the moral and religious work, that tb< pulpit, to some extent, recognizes in it a co worker in the Master's cause. That Mr. Candler erred In his personal at tack on the members of the dramatic corps cannot, we think, be successtully denied. Tin fact is self-evident. If he had not transcend ed the bounds of propriety Miss Abbott ccr tainly would not have risen in the church tc reply. If the reply was not deserved, and well-put, it is not at all likely that the con gregatlon would have applauded the discom< flture of their pastor. In saying this we would not be understood as in any manner endorsing the act of Mlsf Abbott. Her error in replying was greatci than tbat of the preachcr In assalllDg, Her womanly modesty should have enabled her to suppress In the church the expression or her feelings of Just indignation at even r grievous wrong. The act itself, however, does not effect tht church. The act stands on its individual merits, and has but little significanceof itself beyond the fact that it is evidence that a lout persecuted people may be pressed too far, auc that the public sense of right cannot be for ever trampled upon, even by the pulpit. There can be no doubt that it is an error or the part of any man to turn the holy pulpl in to a fountain from which may proceed, wltl personal safety to the speaker, that foul slan d?r which, if uttered on the streets, woulc merit and receive a personal accountability The sanctity of the pulpit is not to be prosti tuted for the purposes of disseminating abusi of any of those of our fellow sinners fo: whom the Saviour of mankind offered up hi! life on the cross. When on earth our Saviour never spoki spitefully or hatefully of the wicked?no mat ter how low and depraved they may hav< been. He did, however, say some scathinj things of those who were better than othe men, and said their prayers on the street cor ners. Our Saviour in this particular furnish ea a very guuu exaiupit-, wmui ?c mm. might well be followed by Mr. Candler and al others who seek to abuse people of any clns or condition in life. Even if the members c theatres are corrupt calumny and abuse wil never bring them to tlie foot of the Crosf nor convert them to a saving faith In ou Lord and Saviour who would lift up the fall en and speak kindly even to outcasts. To aum the matter up. The theatre has ex isted for time out of mind. The probabllit; la, that It will exist for all time to come. Si far as we know the desire for theatrl cal performances is natural and common t all mankind, of whatever nationality and c whatever division of the human race. Tha It effects the morals of the people is not to b denied. If its Influence is corrupting, thei let the pulpit do with it, as they have don with the secular press?seek to puriryit, b; creating in the hearts of the people a demani for a purer theatre, and when there is a d< mand for a purer theatre it will come, as i purer press has come. Let the pulpit acknowledge that there ar lour great agencies which influence and coc trol the human family: 1. The pulpit. 2. The press. 8. The orator. 4. The theatre. In the human heart there is a demand l'c all these, and they will live and continue t exist for countless ages to come. Let the pul pit then seek to control and direct that fore which neK&er tney nor any ouior miun n m man agency can suppress. As tii secular press lias indisputably been great aid and ally of the pulpit, so the powc and Influence of the theatre should be uti lred. The elements uncontrolled by scienc ore destructive in their nature, but when coi trolled by human agency are our most usefc servants. In the great battles of war cannon and muskets captured from the enemy altei wards did as effective service for their captor as did those weapons of warfare whlc were instrumental in accomplishing the faci Bo let the church capture the strongholds c the theatre, and utilize them in the servic of our Lord and Master.

The friends of the Cumberland Gap roa are preparinga bill for the Legislature nnthoi izlng the town of Abbeville to vote for an ej tension of time in which to complete tb road to Abbeville.

It requires individual effort t< . build a town, and bring prosperity to ou: ; doors. What matters it to us, how manj f roads we may have, if we make not the prop . er Individual effort to better our individua 5 circumstances. The success of a town as a town, is the combined or uccumu P lated successes of individual efforts. Then . has been too much neglect of the in ; terests of the farm, and the vital necesslt; j for the farmer's prosperity has beei . too often overlooked. The farm is th , well-6pring from which all success mustpri . marlly come. We have many individual in , stances of success at farming, and we ought t< ; have more. Why is it that one man make > fifteen bales of cotton to the horse, while an i other makes but three or four? Why is i . that one man can raise bis own horses, mules 1 cattle and hogs, while his neighbor buys i t part or all of these? , We do not pretend to undertake to answe: . these questions. The facts exist,and It migh j be well for those who buy from the stores ev 3 ery thing they use, to reflect on these matters . If the spare time of our winter months wat devoted to enclosing pastures, and doing oth . er necessary farm work good results wouh 5 follow. A few months of excessively hard la > bor in the spring, will not suffice, and If w( . could find profitable employment In the win . ter months we could have reason to hope fo: i individual and collective prosperity. - Sale or the AuffiiMta and Knoxvllli iiniiroau. It is rumored in railroad circles that th< ' Richmond and Danville Railroad system, 01 1 Clyde syndicate, have secured a majority o the stock of the roads between Spartanburj and Augusta, and that on or before the firs ' of next January, all the roads in this parto 1 the State will be run by the same company 1 This change of management, if effected, ma: result in great improvement in the presen ! transportptlon and. passenger traffic of thli 1 section, and it is hoped that benefit to tin whole country will result. > At present the schedules on the roads whicl 1 are run by the Georgia Central are so Jncon veuiently arranged that a great portion of thi people of the county receive but little or ni 1 good from its presence. Numbers of our citl 1 zens aro compelled to take private convey I ances from those roads to the village, whil many persons leaving Abbeville, ore forced by reason of the inconvenient schedules c ' the C. <fe G., and the A. ?fc K., to seek Verder; or Greenwood by private conveyance, an< ; all those who go by way of the C. & G., ti r Greenwood are forced to the waste of almos 5 a day's time at Hodges and Greenwood. The people of Abbeville will have nothini ! to lose by the talked-of change, but the possl bllityof much gain Is evident. II For the last few years Abbeville has pali ' dearly for her failure to secure either the a. d r K., road or the Savannah Valley road. He sides getting none of the advantages of th new roads, the C. & G. road has felt at llbert; ? to impose on us at will in the matter c 1 freight charges and inconvenient passenge ? schedules, so that between the three roads w have been in a tad way. 1 With the Augusta and Knoxvllle In th ' hands of the owners of the C.

I_ The Source of Our High Priced II e School Books. I J js For years our people have complained at e the high price charged for our school books. B That complaint may have been well founded is under a system which authorizes a cornmltr tee of oflicers to assume to direct an intelli- 3 gent and free people from whom they must & buy their school books. d Areour teachers incompetent that a commlti, tee of State officers must direct them as to li o any particular publication? Are our people s tools that they have not sense enough to buy I. a school book? Areour Legislators lnterestr ed in the welfare of any Northern school >f book publishing house, that they will enact a g law whereby it may not only enforce the sale 8 of their books, but whereby it may also exact J a royalty for each book sold ? The State of South Carolina owes It to her * /. ?u 8 good name to open tne doors 01 erury puu- c >- llshlng house to our people. ^ By doing this the offensive histories of the j e war may may be suppressed In a greater de- J e gree tbau in any other way. Every publisher J likes to have the largest sale possible for his d books, and for tbls reason, with an oppn ^ o marketand a fair field, no publisher would ? e knowingly cut off the possibility of making G i- any of the Southern States his customers. ^ 8 Our Legislature should not place our officers j e in a position to do either themselves or the J lr people a wrong. It will be remembered that ^ e a few years ago, one publisher bought up all j y the books of a rival publisher, which may J a have been in the hands of the children, for the J express purpose of destroying them, and in- j e troducing his own. Does anybody believe J that such a thing could have been done in a J i- legitimate way of conducting business ? The u - new booksellers having exclusive right could Ji charge what lie pleased, and In that way i- make the children refund the money spent in w j buying the old books. i. No blame attaches to the State officers for *j s this condition of affairs. Our Legislators are Ii p responsible for the law which requires these H e officers to offer an indignity to the teachers' t| e and which authorizes the publishers to extort w y exhorbitant prices from our children. 81 (- The following letter may throw some light 0 f on the subject: b e To the School Commissioner: J it Dear Sir:?The following resolutions o* ? . the State Board of Examiners are published p for the information and guidance of the y s school officers of the State: i- Resolved, That there be introduced into the j course of study in the public schools instruction in Physiology and Hygiene; that text- 0 i books on the same will be adopted by the t| j Board after further conference. [Adopted 0 September 7th, 1886.] j. At a subsequent meeting of the Board, held T October 10th, 1886, the following resolution e] . wa:-adopted: w . Resolved, That the "Primer of Physiology q and Hygiene" and "The Human Body and Its > Health/' published by Ivison Blnfeeman Tay- ? * lor & Co., of New York, be prescribed as text- 0 ? books to be used in the public schools a of the State. f{ In addition the Board recommended as a p y supplemental reading book for the higher ? . schools and academies. "The Man Wonderful 8| in the House Beautiful," published by the w b Educational Publishing Company of New S| j. York. In view of the fact that the teachers of the j, State have no official notice of this action of jj 3 the State Board, I have hitherto refrained -y s from placing questions upon Physiology and ^ Hygiene upon the County examination pa- w pers. In future, however, all teachers in pub- 0 I lie schools will be required to stated an ex- j, animation up. n these branches, and I request 8, that you give due notice of the fact to the ,] 1 teachers of your County. James H. Rice, j] State Supt. Education. > r We do not speak advisedly, but we are of f< t opinion that the common school law does not ^ - contemplate aid to the "higher schools and s\ ! academies." , m ? c -v -? ? I. a II . ft'iiuiiiu iur n r nvtvrj <?v awwwubv* ? a 1 Within the last row days there has been r considerable talk of building a factory at a b Abbeville, and already various public spirit- ? - ed citizens have expressed their willingness n r to take stock in such an enterprise, but up to f the present time the aggregate amount of pro- v posed subscriptions is merely nominal. This a , movement Is made in the belief that the ex. c istence of a factory at Abbeville would make a this market for cotton equal to Greenville and o " Columbia, and that if more people were here J It would be of incalculable benefit to the far. J mers as it would create a demand for country a * produce, (and then 10 bushels of sweet potaf toes would not glut the market,) that the in- ? terests of the town would be promoted in a * numerous ways ; for Instance one gentlemen t suys that whereas, now only 10,000 or 12,000 ? bales of cotton is sold in this market, with e the factory 20,000 balos or more would come 'I here which naturally would Increase the q trade of tho town. k Some people believe that cotton would de- J rnand an advance of a quarter of a cent 0 0 above the present or ruling price, If we had a a cotton factory lu town. It has not yet how- c ever been demonstrated how this state of af- f, * fairs could be brought about by the presence of a factory, but if we can get sufficient mon- c | ey subscribed to build the factory, the build. ? ers of the Institution may solve the problem \ j as to how 60 desirable on end may bo accom- " pllshed. n , It is possible that a public meeting on next I Sale Day would develop the strength of the ' movement. Supposn the meeting be held t then and settle the mattor. If we build the t( lactory, it ought to be built ill time for the J j next crop, and no time is to be lost if the y t work is to be accomplished. Let the advo- b cates of the factory prove their faith by their ^ e subscriptions. >' - 1 " ? ,[ The Leg InI at ii re. g r The Legislature will meet In a lew weeks, o Much work is to be done, and the Columbia p Reoister urges the importance of killing un- d e Imporuuis bills in the committee rooms, and y so say all of us.

T e m j Since we last wrote you we have been doing a little reading. We finished up "Thomas Buckle on English Civilization, and found" T much information.

A little volume, of eighty-two small pages, _ vlth the above title, has recently been placed j n the hands of the writer. It 1b from the pen >f the Rev. E. O. Frlerson, the gifted pastor >f the Presbyterian church, Laurens Court ilouse, S. C. Its design, as the author states in the pref- '] ice, Is "to draw out and set before plain curlslans and Sabbath school scholars, t-ome ol ich, varied and Important Instructions con- 1 alned In the Lord's; Prayer. Thousands rejeatjthls celebrated Prayer without pausing f jo reflect upou its meaning. They?have beeu 41 "amlliar with It all their lives, but seldom, if c sver, has it occurred to them how rich is its J mport, how numerous the topics itembraces, l ind how controlling the influence It was deilgned to have, not only upon our prayers, jut upon our lives and conduct. By calling , ittention to these points the author hopes he } nay exalt theirappreciationof this wondrous c Pruyer, and contribute to a more profitable i use of it on the part of those who have not ^ ieeply studied Its Import" , The LorJ s Prayer Is confessedly the Prayer f if the christian dispensation, indeed of every ilBpensation. Its author, scope, comprehen- c ilveness. power, brevity, render It unap- t ?roachable by any human production. In- | ieep It has no rival. It stands alone, by it- e ielf, to itself, a collossal monument of the Intellectual superiority of the "Carpenter ol Nazareth." Its six short petitions are exlioiifitlvA r%f nil t.hut wimes within t.hft nrnvlnftp jf prayer. Every felt necessity, every possijle want, Is included In this grand compendl- , im. And yet because of this brevity and terseness many fall to perceive how boundless ,ts range Is. The little volume before us is meant as a iielp in this direction, a key to unlock its ( treasures. The cursory perusal giveu it, ihows that it Is the result or much labor, care . ind thought. Its style Is vigorous and terse, iharacterlzed by perspicuity, and a rareexe- ' jettical and analytical power. The reader } will arise from its study with a truer concep- 1 seption of that model Prayer. This little treatise is worthy of a place in svery christian family ; aud its price, which 1 s only twenty-flve cents, puts It within the 1 reach of all. It may be had by addressing Its ( luthor, Rev. E. 0. Frierson, Laurens C. H., i.C. _ W. rhe Danger of Bnylng Texas Ponies. < Dr. BenJ. Mclnnls, Jr., Veterinary Surgeon, ] t will be recollected, reported some cases of , {landers in this county, contracted from Tex- J is ponies last Winter. Under date of Sepember 1, he writes to the Commissioner of S \grlculture, as follows: "The male contracted the disease from a J rexas pony, purchased by him at Barnwell C'. H., on Sale Day in January last. This pony jrokeoutln ulcerating bumps some time in May. and died in the latter part of July, dismaying Bymptoms exactly like those of the inule. Here is an Incubative period of Bevertl months, and goes to show that the utmost aution must betaken in purchasing these rexas ponies, for the disease may be lying lormant, or may be chronic, and there are sertaln conditions when it is almost impossible for the Veterinarian fshould no history be J iccessible) to diagnose immediately the disease. Thero are still many of these ponies in . >ur State, and there Is no telling when this ;ery contagious disease, both to man and jeast, will end, if our citizens, and farmers I ispeclaliy, do not, as soon as they notice any llecbarge from the nostrils, or ulcerating abicess on the body or legs, immediate- 1 y isolate such animals, and have them in- 1 ipected." j Why Not? ! [Florence Times.] It Is suggested that the merchants of Flor>nee employ ladies as clerks In their stores, i \lany country towns are utilizing their ser- J ?lces in this department of trade, with bene- < 3t to their employers and appreciation on the i aart of patrons and customers. The Camden i Journal, touching on this subfect, says this i inrier the title, "Another Step Forward It is only within the present year that the nercbants of Camden have followed the ex- i imple set by their city brethren and employ- : 3d ladles as clerks in their stores. From i ffbat we can gather, they have certainly glv- i >n satisfaction, as the number has Increased i apldly. For years past the millinery establishments have been conducted by ladies, and .he business Itself shows how efficient the lailes have been. We are glad to see this new ivenue of business opened to our women, and Lhatthey are no longer to be confined to the aarrow limits of wearing out their lives at a sewing machine, or In some similar calling that barely gives them a living. It is true that a few find employment as teachers, but . the number required lu that line is small Inieed. compared with the number who wish employment. Death of B. 5f. Mattiaon.

The question whether bonds secured by mortgages of land In this State held by foreign land loan companies are taxabje In this State ( having been raised, Comptroller General Stoney very properly submitted the question to the Attorney General. His opinion Is ?lven elsewhere. It will be seen that It is that such bonds are not taxable here. While It may be deemed desirable that they should be taxed, yet it is difficult to see how the matter Ban be reached, as It is perhaps beyond the reach of Stale legislation. To a Yonng Wife. I A task untried, a path unknown You enter on to-day; Your heart no more shall sink alone Or leap In freedom gay ; No more alone, no more apart, But with that dearer one You share together, heart with heart, Life's shadow and its sun. True love can make a track of light Across the desert gray; And love Is shining warm and bright On this, your bridal day; And love will twine In these glad hours Of happiness and song Those fragrant amaranthine flow'rs That bloom a whole life long. But yet unknown must be the path On which to-day you go, And all the gifts the Future hath The years to come muBt show. Yet you shall feel no more apart; The sweetest thought ot all Is yours?"I have a Kindred heart, Whatever may befall!" And mark?so long as life endures Let nothing come between The sunshine of his heart and yours, Gut walk in faith serene. ' Then shall you never walk alone Or sigh for freedom gay, 1 Or weary of the life unknown You enter on to-day.
