The editor of flic I'rcwt and Banner
\ role a very sensible article last week
>n !lie subject of prohibition, which I
lope all will read who have hern forilyin.u"
themselves by the old threadjnro
arguments against prohibition.
If they have never before became
'onvcrsant with both sides of the subcct,
so as to we the utter futility of
hoe arguments, I am sure if they
vill read Mr. Wilson's article on the
ubjeet they will cease to ofier such obeetions
to prohibition, whatever may
>e iheir attachments for barrooms and
heir objections to temperance.

he liquor men of Alilieviile would Jbi*
oyal to prohibition should it become
tarried, and that not a single man, beongingto
tJ)s antis, would do any11ii:<r
to evade the enforcement of the
irohibitory laws. ,
I hope the editor of the Pram and
banner is right in his opinion, hut If
ic is, then Abbeville is an exception
o tlie rule, or else all the cry that protibilion
does not prohibit is false. Tf
imbibition does not prohibit, then it
* because the liquor men are violating
lie law, in all towns where prohibi- ,
ion has been carried, and where this !
?r? umii^ wjiuivu.
If there is any lawlessness on this
illiject, it is because Ihose who are j
pposed to temperance are determined '
hat it shall not succeed if they can !
irevent it. " i
If the li?juor men of Abbeville are 1
s loyal and true to the right as Mr.
Vilson thinks they are (and T hope he i
? right) then we need not look for 1
nuch resistance in the present con- I
est.
Only those who hate the right, who .
lave no feeling for the best interest of :
heir fellows, and would rejoice over i
lie downfall of virture, arc ready t"
iglit lempcranoe, and take a decided ,
tand against the reform movements
long this line. If the prohibitionists
f Abbeville County triumph in this
on/1 nt'rtltiiiifion linf lirn- '
libit, it will be because sonic of the
iqiior parly do not scruple to violate
he law. s
Let every man who favors the sal- 1
ation of this country, in this li ur of
xtremitv show himself a man, ami |
>-i111 the prayers and sympathies of j
he true women of the country, with
lie appeals of all the highest and best j
mpulses of our natures, and with the <
ertainty of Clod's approval we shall
ueceed. Vote right yourself, and in
he name of God, try and get some- 1
ody else to do likewise, and after the (
oniliet is over, whatever may he the
lisult. you will have a consciousness J
f having done the right, which will i

Some one attempted to break into

Mr. McConnell and Dr. <

Tr. McConnell tired on him and he

Tirn Press citnl Jirmncr lias given 1

of juries, ami it should be complied

Among the persons from Lowndes- ji
ville and vicininity who were here
last week were Messrs. J. T. Latimer
J. M. Latimer, D. K. Cooley, B. B.
Allen, T. Baker, J. M. Baker, Mr.
Johnson, the depot agent, J. T. Baskin,
Mr, Bell, and others.
Several new stores have been opened
in Abbeville since the first of the
Mr. William Riley, of Mt. Carmel,
way in town last Wednesday.
Mr. Fouche of Ninety-Six, and Mr.
J. T. Youngblood of Troy, are about 3
the largest men in the county, and
no better men live. i
The Cumberland Gap railroad seems I
to be coming to the front again. Let j
'er roll. -'-3
The cotton buyers' occupation is j
nearly gorte. i
During the trial of the railroad cases i
it looked like Lovvndesvillehad moved |
to Abbeville and brought Antreville j
along with it.
There was a pleasant germau at the '<3
Central Hotel last week. The german
was under the management of the
young men of the town. . -'*?3
The skating rink is again with us. * |]
It now makes its annual visit. It is a
pleasant and healthy exercise.
Major B. F. Whitner, of Anderson,
was in attendance on our Court last
week, and so was Mr. Ganahl. of Au
gusta! The last named came in the
interests of the Central railroad and
to light the Lowndesville cases.
Judge Norton grows rapidly in the
estimation of the liar. He is getting a
good many cases from the calendars.
Tills term of the court will last all
of this week and probably a part of
the next. It is the longest term wo
have had for years.
r rum >veuuesutiy 10 ?tuuruay last,
tlie Court of Common Pleas was engaged
in hearing the various cases " ;?
against the Savannah Valley Railroad
Company for cotton aud other goods
destroyed by the burning of the depot
at Lowndesville. There are seven of
these cases involving nearly the same
principles, Each one is fought with
great vim on both sides. Only three
of these cases have been heard, as folR.
O. McAdams cot a verdict for
eighty-one dollars and two cents, together
with costs.
W. T. McGee recovered the value of
two bales of cotton with interest and
costs. The cotton and interest thereon
amounted to ninety-two dollars
and forty-eight cents. A stubborn
fight was made in the case of Allen A isj
Coolcy. The jury, after remaining
out about two hours could not agree,
and the foreman reporting that on? of
the jurors was quite unwell, his Honor
ordered a mistrial. It is reported . "38
that tiie jury stood eleven to one in favor
of the railroad. It is probable
that the other four cases have been
continued to the next term of Court.
The plaintiffs claim that the depot *
was set on fire by sparks from the engine
or stove-pipe of the coach of defendants'
train. The defendant railroad
claims that this has not been suf
liciently proved and therefore that it
should not be liable for the goods
burned. The attorneys iu the case
made able arguments on the law
points presented for the consideration
of the Court. ^ .T-3I
The case of J. T. Baskin against
the County of Abbeville wtos decided
in favor of the' county. Mr. Baskin
had a horse injured while
crossing 011 the defendant's bridges
nnd he brought action against the
county to recover damages, the bridge
being one which plaintiff built.
Mr. N. Gleeson, who has been at
tending Court as a witness in tne
Lowndesville railroad cases, and who
is the engineer of the train that
is said to have set fire to the depot is
anxious to see u jury that is not composed
entirely of men of common
sense. lie seems to think that such a
jury is a rare thing.
Mr. Charlton Sondley has drawn
two thousand dollars in the Louisiana
State Lottery. Mr. Sondley is a

Three Reasons for Not Going to Cburcli.
1. I can worship God without going
to church. But do you worship God
..I ) TV* nvoi' trv ? "Did VOll
.11 lllllllt i J ~ -
ever set apart an hour on the Sabbath
for the worship of God by your own
fireside? Have not many Sundays
come and gone when you have not
once opened the Bible? Have there
not been many Sabbaths wherein you
have never bent your knees in prayer?
And do you call this worshiping God
at home? As a rule, those who do not
worship God in the sanctuary do not
worship him at all.
? I work hard all the week, and I
must have Sunday for rest. You must
have it, you say; but who has given
you leave to use such language? sunday
i.s the Lord's day?not yours. The
fact that you work hard for six days
does not give you any right to sin
away the seventh. God intends that
you should rest on Sunday; and the
bodily refreshment which you need
will be far bettor secured by going to
church, morning and evening, than by
loitering away at home all the hours of
the holy Sabbath.
3. My clothes are so shabby I am
not lit to appear at church. If you
are so poor, you have the greater need
of the gospel to comfort your heart.
l>ul many arc very poor because they
have lived in the neglect of public
worship; and if you would get rid of
the deep poverty, you must first give
