We are In receipt of a sshreveport paper.
giving the result of the r<v election for
Wardens of the town. Our former eitiz-n,
Mr. S. J. Zciglcr, the poii of Mitjor M. C. Xc-itrler,
the most popular man in Abbeville county.
was at the head of the ticket. Mr. Zeitiler
seems to be as popular in the city of Slireveport
as his father is in Abbeville county.
Abbeville men are appreciated wherever
they may go, but wherever as worthy a man
as S. J. Zei?ler may live he will he sure to occupy
the best known position of honor?a safe
place in the hearts of the people. To live in
the hearts of a free and independent people is
worth more than a Royal Crown or a frieinl.
less throne.
The recent honor which has been conferred
upon our former fellow citizen, makes him a
subject for congratulation, and his many
friends knowing him to boa man possessing
Bterllngqnulitie6, will not lie surprised to hoar
of his preferment in the city of his adoption.
We congratulate our fellow-townsman on
having so worthy a sou?and we congranlate
a worthy Carolinian upon receiving the honors
of a city like Shreveport.
Six Bales on Lens than Four Acres.
Mr. J. A. Brooks of this county may be sol
down as a first-class farmer. Last year he
made six bales of cotton, averaging -147
pounds, on three acres and three quarters of
land. We don't know his methods, but lie
has kindly promised to cive the readersof the
Press and Banner a letter on the subject next
week. If the farmers would give these matters
more thought, and would write their experiences
for the newspapers much good
would be done. If he that made two blades
of grass grow where only one grew before was
a benefactor, how much greater benefactor is
he who teaches us how to make two bales oi

For Shcriir.
Mr. Tnotnas L. Moore is announced as a
candidate lor Sheriff of Abbeville County.
He needs no recommendation from us. Ills
competency Is acknowledged by all. and his
loyalty to the Democratic party is known of
ail men. Mr. Moore is the first candidate
who has been announced in the papers, but
we learn that others will soon be in the field
The indications are that we will have an early
canvass and a lively campaign.

Ollicinl aspirants find it liardcr to manage
the peopte than to control nominating conventions,
and the small politician enjoys the
brief authority in convention, where he may
punish his enemies, reward his friends, or
gratify his vanity.
The growing popularity of the primary plan
and the sure process of winning other tcrrito

alarm the convention people, and hence we

lie that as il may, however, the Boiling candidates
were very decently knocked on tinhead,

of the continued loyalty of the people of Columbia

Editor Hugh Wilson, of tlic Press and Manner,
writes acolumn and a half artiulc to toll
the people what he does not know about consumption,
compound oxygen, and various
other patent medicine schemes. Editor Wil>ou
takes some very queer views of some
tilings, hut for all that he gets up a very good
newspaper.?Sewben-y J hi aid and Sciv.i.
The Edi or of the AObvvislc Press ami Manner,
Mr. Hugh Wilson, is peculiar in more respects
than one. He |>ul?lisli?-s au excellent
paper; there is none bettor. He is unalterably
opposed to advertising what he terms
"t alent medicines,'' yet, strange to say, he
docs a good deal ot lliat kind of business. in
his last issue, under a large "horse-head,"
with "So tiering Humanity" as the caption,
lie dilates to Hie extent ot a column and a
quarter, in .-mull typo, (his favorite size) on
Compound Oxygcu. in that lengthy eH'u-lon
"Kditors, Preachers and Patent Medicines"
come in l'or a full share of that ridicule for
which the 1'rrss and Banner is so peculiar.
The j'resx and Manner is especially caustic on
ministers, and he "would warn the people
against accepting for the truth any preacher's
testimony as to the ellicacy of a patent medicine
about which he knows nothing," <fcc.
But the "most unkindest cut of all" is where
he tells the pieaeher who siyns such ceriili- '
eates that "he may be honest enough," but he
is a fool all the same; or rather that "he
doesn't know what he is talking about." As
we have said, the editor ot the Press and Banner
is stoutly opposed to advertising patent
medicines, yet iu the sumo issue of that paper
in which appeared the lengthy free ad
veriisemeui 01 compound oA^en, muic appeared
a single patent medicine ailvcrltacinent
which occupied the space of nearly
throe! columns. Tliis huge "drummer'' for
public patronage spread over tlie width oi
three columns, and was adorned at Hie top by
i beauiilul (?) female figure, in a reclining pos
ture. This was only one of a dozen putdnt
medicine advertisements appearing in the
gaine isj-ue.?jMurcnaciUc Herald.
In the flr?t place, the 1'rcss and ISmuier
would thank the brethren for what they say
of "a yood newspaper" and "au excellent
newspaper." We Lave I lie highest regard for
the brethren personally, and tlieir newspapers
are not excelled by any which come to
this ollice. Their iabois in journalism is
most ell'ective, and their careers are marked
by honor and conscientious conduct. For
this reason, we regret that they do not see as
we do in the matter of patent medicines.
in the next place, we hope that It may not
K.. /.xl <if nln.... IV.r tli.? mill Htiminr to
rise tou question of privilege.
The Herald and Sews is in error when ii
cays thul we write "a column and a half article
to tell the people what we do not know
about consumption, compound oxygen, and
various other patent medicine scheme."
Friend, it would take volumes to tell what \ve
do no! Anow on these subjects.
The patent medicines which the Laureiisoi/le
Herald finds advertised in the Press a>ul
Manner are on the New York printed side.
We presume every reader except t!,o.-e of our
exchanges who are blind, are aware of litis j
"act. liul whether they tire, or are not, it j
inatteis nothing, we believe the mcdical advertisements
are frauds and cheats lielieving
as we do, and publishing our paper on a
patent iuBide that publishes them, it is the
more our duty to warn the people against
every advertisement which proposes to cure
the diseases which the best medical skill pronounce
incurable. All advertisements of
medicines to cure fits arc absolutely and positively
iit variance with the testimony of
every medical writer of decent intelligence.
Thu fits cures are generally put up in "one
dollar' or "two dollar" bottles.
If the patient will take a prescription from
any decent doctor, aud will accept the mcdiciuc
from the drusui?t, in a brown paper, and
furnish his own bottle tilled with wilier, lie
can get lor ten cent*. the medicine lor which
he must paj two dollars?itiul then it trill not
cure fit*. 1 Jut the medical profession always
prescribe something, and tiiev olten settle
on something Unit will not kill outright.
All advertisements proposing to cine consumption
are delusions by which the sick are
robbed, and by which the victims are hurried
to the grave. Xodoctor worthy of the name, ,
would claim to cure consumption, and there
is not a man on the face of the globe that
could satisfy a committee of medical men of:
intelligence that he had been cured of
consumption. We all know of cases where
men have been cured of such diseases as chill
and fever, typhoid fever, pneumonia, and
other kindred diseases, but did any man on
the lace of the earth ever seen man who had
been cured of consumption ? Consumption,
as we undeistand, is a sloughing oti* of I ho
lungs. Amputation of the limbs we understand
to be cutting oil* of a part of the limb.
Well, now, until we tlnd a patent medicine
that will cause an arm or a leg to grow out to |
its normal condition?from the "stump" of the !
amputated arm or leg?we need not expect to I
IInd a patent medicine that will restore the 1
lost lung.
l'ateni medicine men constantly herald
a I) road instances where examinations after j
death had proved tiiat the ulcerations ol" the ]
lungs had healed over, and where the waste!
of ttie vital part had been arrested. It is pos- j
<ible that there may be one case in a million ;
where such a result has been brought about,

\Ve all know that this is not true. The immediate

The physicians cannot euro consumption. I
All that they can do?and that is much, and I
of the greatest importance?is to a-lvise their
I patients to obey the laws of health. If they

to follow a formula from which 110 living
soul has been benefitted. Cad liver oil is a 1
substance so vile and so repulsive, that not |

worthless, and can deceive nobody except
the Ignorant, or some poor unfortunate creature
who may be struggling with the deadly
] assailant, and who may he willing to catch at

A lady who had been sick for several
months, and despairing of getting well!
without medical treatment, sent lor the best
doctor in the neighborhood. One lung was
seriously aftected, and as other members of
the family had died of consumption, the
proof was clear thai she had consumption. I
A long prescription of vllo stnll' was made. |

The reach rc.m see hy this that certilicute-givers
may sometimes hy mistaken.
Cut let our hrct'irea not misunderstand us. i
It i-not- so much the patent m -diciuo l??j
which ate opposed, as it is the liahil. which i
people have of Uikiuir medicines which are
not prescribed lor them hy an intelligent
physician. The more ignorant class of people
?chiefly froir. reading patent medicine aclverlisetuents?have
ticcome familiarized with I
medicine, and presume to lake !l. themselves |
and then urue others to run the same ri<-k. >
If necessary, we could cite many instances
A ' * ii.ik- oitmn tt\ /?iir invij kiinvvlpik'n. !
where death lias ensued from the wreck lens i
giving of medicine.
(>110 child, in (lie ineipicncy of typhoid
fever, was given a liivc done of calomel. All
the doctors oil the face of the globe couldn't
keep llic grave from closing over her form.
The father of a family, felt sick, and to save
doctor's bill, thought he would take a big
dose of "blue nin*s."' Forty doctors couldn't
save him. Ills widowand fathcrlesschildrcn,
now mourn and talk about the mysterious
dispensation of divine Providence. They
little dream that his ignorance in taking the
"blue mass" destroyed his stomach and otherwise
poisoned his vitals. A father of a bclored
child, thought he would give him a dose
of medicine when lie was ailing. That child,
contrary to expectation, grew worse. A doctor
was sent for, but the deadly work had
been done. The child is in his.grave. These
ire a few of tlie mistakes of laymen, or selfeonMilutrd
ignoramuses who propose to take
the life of their loved ones in their own inexperienced
hands, tint .when it is known that
doctors themselves kill us with their medicines
and that <li uggists kill us by their mistakes,
we think we arc admonished to let
medicine alone.
What shall we say of the man who will
hold out hopes lo the sick, which are false,
merely for the purpose of rubbing him, in the
11 iviiich <:m liuvt! no other
el lecl than to hurry him to the crave. Let us
cite a >triUiii>r instance, which came under
our own knowledge. A man suil'crintf from
one of those ailments for which the Oest ortho-lux
medical men have found 110 euro, was
impressed with the ccriirleutcs which he saw
published fisto the otlicuty of a pa lent mediciiK',
which ciaiine.l to be a specific lor tlie
disease from which lie was suffering. In it
was an extract which gave case to pain, hut
tlie main iinrradient was exactly tlie opposite
of what was needed in liis system, and its
only effects were lull the pain while greatly
aggravating the disease itself. A family of
poore people in tins instance spent over fifty
dollars lor a medicine, the practical elfect of
which was to hurry the loved one to his
grave. l'o you see anything monstrously
evil in the giving of a certilicate which was
instrumental in aiding a vampire to rob the
patient in the sulc of medicine which Kent
him hence?
Isn't there something of infernal seoundrelifiin
in the act of preying upon the vitals and
purses of poor altlictcd iiumauity? Isn't
there something wantonly wicked in
holding out promises which ure as fair ns possible
but which are in reality as falso as false
can be.
What shall we say of the preacher of the
gospel who will go abroad over this fair
land with a Hible in one coat tail pocket, and
a bottle ol patent poison in the other?
We arc sorry that our respected brethren of
I aureus and Newberry should censure us in
condemning what we believe to be an unmitigated
fraud. While we use h patent inside
tiiat gives publicity to these frauds, we shall
occasionally warn our readers against them.
I'hey know that we present to Ihein the printed
inside as it is received by "us, and that
while we are responsible for buying those
-hceis, we are in no way responsible lor what
appears therein.
\\"e will say that wc refused SDi) to advertise
the medicine last referred to. An acceptable
advertisement of the same length would have
been gladly taken at Si/0. We refused S12o
iron safe to publish an advertisement, of a
ijivuiuiiiv |ii wj?u.->v;u ivj vuiv cm mvuiahie
(llKctise. These uro tlio larger offers, but
none have been accepted of late years. In
tills course we may be mistaken. We act for
ourself, without in any way pretending toad*
vise anybody as to t heir own course, It certainly
should give the brethren noollonce, hoeflu.se
the Press and Rannvr dO'-s not advertise
patent medicines. We yield the whole business
to others. They are welcome to It, but
the course which we are pursuing is according
to the dictates of our own conscience. If
it were not so, we certainly would not refuse
a prolltnble business.

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
Anniversary?-They ami Wo.
1'ov some years last past some of our
friends have been the chief speakers
on Anniversary Occasions; (his time,
tlie end of the first score of anniversaries,
we, under a sense of gratitude
and humility would speak something
nursed f: Twenty years ago?April 2,
1S08?the first number of the Christian
Nkigjijjok saw the light. Every
twelve month since that time fif0
-two issues have been sent forth. On
tlie nrsi oay 01 me x> Kiciimo.it s existence
wo, of course, knew not wliat the
next clay would bring forth much less
what one year or twenty years might
bring to pass.
The conduction of our paper for this
length of time has given ;i knowledge
of men and things which we would
not have had without such experience.
Much of this knowledge is profitable
and pleasant; some of it we would
have preferred not to have, costing as
it did more than it was worth.
At the beginning we counted what
it was thought would be the probable
as well as the necessary cost of publication.
Wo mean not onlv cost in
money and in labor of niind and body
but the unnecessary cost of delinquent
subscribers. There has been unnecessary
cost in other important respects
besides that of dollars and cent?. But
of these we care not now to speak, further
than to .say that the sum of all
kinds of cost, past and present do not
at all change our purpose, God willing,
to continue the publication of the
Christian Neighbor even on.
While some friends have weakened
in their sympathy with the cause of
peace and some have been diverted
from substantial support of the
Neiuiibor, others have taken their
nlaces. These with friends who have
been with us from the beginning ana
others of like faith and firmness who
have fallen in lino during the twenty
years and who remain to lliis day are
facts which persuade that our labor
has not been in vain. "What is done is
done.
Circumstance, we know, justified
the request of many of those who in
time past were discontinued. Many of
these have, Willi a chang? of circumstances,
been reentered ob the list of
subscribers. Others are coming.
AVe do not conclude, nor have we
ever concluded, that a man is opposed
to the Nkicihbok because he does not
subscribe; nor that he is opposed to
the blessed Cause of Peace because he
diH's not ioin tli? Ppurtfi iSoeietv. Men
may or may not do the one or the
other, as they choose, and they and we
shall remain friends.
Had we believed, twenty years ago,
that the publication of the Christian
Neighbor would occasion double the
sum of pecuniary cost which it has
and five times the amount of opposition
and indifference with which we
have contended we would not have
hesitated to begin as we did, and coutinue
as we have done. And now,
thankful as we feel for divine and human
help in the past, with the "same
rule" and "same thing" before us, we
enter to-morrow upon our twenty-first
year?the banner of "peace and good
will to men" being that under which
we purpose to live, labor and end the
warfare of life.
The Easter Service by the Marion
Street Sunday School, held in the
church last tfabbath afternoon, consisting
mainly of songs and recitations
was quite pleasing t? the eyes and the
ears of the large company of interested
adults who were present. The
children were neatly, not gaudily,
dressed and went through the exercises
in good order and without a balk.
The decorations were expressive and
in fine taste. Much credit is due to
those who had drilled the children
and to those who had prepared and
arranged the decorations. Everybody
seemed pleased.
