v;w J ,l' The Press and Banner. ABIJEVILLK. S.C. Wednesday, Jan. 2, 1889. NOTABLE EVENT IN THE HISTORY CF ABBEVILLE. All the I tar Rooms are C'lowl I'niler the I?r?lis'??lor.v 5*:iw. Tlie bar-rooms at Abbevillo vrcro closed msr Monday iii-ilit. to remain closed until a groat revolution shall take place in the public sentiment of Abbeville county. Xo special demonstration of any kind attended the notable event. business went on as usual during ;'ie day, and when night came on, all the bars were closed, except .Mr. MeCJettigan's, which remained open until ten o'clock, the usual time for closing. When the hand* before the dial of tiie clock pointed at ten, Mr. McGottigan invited the compano which wns present, to come to the bar and drink. This was tliu last. 15ut he was urgrd to keep open till twelve o'clock. He said Unlaws of I lie town required him to close at. ton o'clock. The lights were put out, and the door was locked. It is estimated that the entire stock ot whiskies left on band would not amount to fifteen gallons. Owingtothe limited supply, whiskies advanced In price about fifty per cent, when sold by the gallon. This increase in price was made in order that the supply might "hold out.'' ?t. /.f iiitr.fi 11! i)?r lillf There Wiis no grvairunu j..* ?, the trade has been brisk durius the Full. I Like other merchants, the whiskey dealersI did a good business. The town goes "dry" as the result of the election which was held last March In pursu anceof an Act of the Legislature, submitting the question of License oa No-License to the people of Abbeville county. The campaign which preceded the election was perhaps one of the most remarkable ever recorded in the history of elections. Although there were great interests involved, yet. there was no excitement, or il-feeling. All was good humor. Prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists felt no estrangement. The open, cheerful way in which the whiskey dealers have complied with the law has made the opposition feel most kindly. Messrs. A. M. Hill & Sons will opeij at their old stand, a stock of fancy confectioneries, together with an assortment of the staple goods which are generally needed on the farm. They manifest no bitterness of feeling, and yield to the voice of the people with good grace and commendable spiril. In the change of their business; they want all debtors to come forward with their dues, so that they may the more elliciently carry on their new business. Mr. A. M. Hill, the senior member of the flrm, is an old citizen, who has been in business at this place for many years, and few men are better known to the people of Abbeville County, and no man has extended favors to a greater number of men. Since the war, he has taken his two sons, Iticbard Hill and Henry Hill, into copartnership with him in the livery and stock busines. They have accumulated a handsome estate. Mr. Thomas McGettignn makes no murmur at the withholding of the license, and takes the action ot the people in goo?! part. He will either go into some other business in Abbeville or will seek a home elsewhere. Hewas the first man in Abbeville to make e.\< "1 ?iirooiiM nrmncements for the peUklVCUUU MbVIMV?>v c sale of liquors, and he kept a lirst class salosn.in which good order was always preserved. Soon alter he came here, six years ago, he Identified hilinself with the people oi Abbeville by buying a house and lot in town, and his manner lias been such as to win hosts of friends in his new home. He was elected for several terms as a member of the town council. Our people would be sorry to set him go elsewhere. Next door to Mr. McGettigan is the saloon of Messrs. Haddon & Milllord. We have not seen them, but learn that they intend to return to their farms in the coutry. They have not been in the business for many years, but are quite popular anionk tin "boys." They sutlered considerably by the fire wdich occurred about a inoni h ago. i hey are both young men of merit, aud in tlieii departure abbeville will lose two good citizen. Mr. Thomas M. Christian and Mr. Brooks were partners in the same kind ol' business. Mr. Christian has been in Abbeville fur the greater part of his lite, and neai'ly everybody has a kind word for Tom Christian. He fore the war he was in the carriage-making business ahd the shoe business. .Since the war lie has sold whiskey. Mr. Krooks has lately come. The tire In December swept away everything they had. Messrs. J. C. Douglass it Co. have been in the business for about a year or so. Owing to the dullness of trade we learn that it is quite likely they would have gone out of the business, even if the license system had coin ued. T ^ T?nccoll hml m ml a n\*t.pn<;ivft fir.tl expensive arrangements lor the retail business He bud built a two story brick store. Tbe bar fixtures, the billiard and other tables, atid the house are now idle. He is one of tlie. richest men in town, being a partner in the Arm of Waliingford & Russell. No former bar-keeper in Abbeville will violate the prohibitory law. If whiskey is sold here now, it will be sold by other men. Now, that the licenses for the sale of whiskey no longer exists, the prohibitionists should see that the law is enforced. The people must either prohibit the sale of whiskey, or else expect to return to ttic license system. It is due to those from whom license has been denied, that no violator of the law shall go unpunished. Law-abiding men must either enforce the law or expect a return to the license system. Fashionable Wciltliii^. At Trinity church, December 20th, at 11 n. m. Mr. Alonza O'Farrcll, of Athens, Ga.. and Miss Kate Calhoue, one of Abbeville's fairest daughters, were.unlted. in marriage.

Some of the Designs that Fair Finger* may FaOiion in Moments of Leisure. Odds and Ends Used in the Making tliat Cost very Little?Great Varioty in Materials. Almost everything that is used to adorn tho person is employed in decorating the countless trifles with which tho fashionable lover of fancy-work fills her own and her friends' apartments. The current number of Domorest's macazino illustrates this nhasoof decoration. A modorn lamp shade might also bo takon for a lady's coiffure, so resplendent is it, frequently, with feathers, flowers and ribbons, it says. On the other hand, a simplo square of Bilk or a silk handkerchief with a hole cut .in the middle for tho lamp chimney is a favorite style of lamp shade; and a flounce of lace with a deep fringe of colored silk crocheted in the lowor odgo is as pretty and effective as It is simplo, for such a purpose. Paper flowors mako pretty decorations, and even whole shades are made? f them. In tho varied designs there is scope for the employment of a great variety of material, not by any means necessarily expensive; for an end of ribbon, tulle or lace, left from the manufacture of a ball dress or bonnet, and a few pretty artificial flowers or a feather not in use can be pressed into service for a dainty lamp shade, which is always a desirable possession and an appropriate gift. In tho oxamplo first shown here we have a Valenciennes lace lamp shade. This is mad? Of a piece of Valenciennes flouncing, gathered over a shade of rose-colorod silk, and decorated with sprays of pink acacia blossoms falling like a fringe from tho wreath around tho top. This is arranged over an ordinary wire lamp shape, and any kind of lace, eithei black or white, may be used instead of the Valencionnes, as well as other flowers* and lining, according to tasto. The second picturo is of a flower lamp shade. Tho foundation is a common papei lamp shade; or tho paper can be removed and stiffened net cut to the same shape and placed on the frame instead. On this an assortmenl of artificial flowers and grasses may be sewed. Paper flowers havo a charming effect, and a roso or daisy lamp shade is 8 beautiful idea. Natural flowers may bo arranged in tho same way, also, as a dinner tablo decoration, but they must be of a kind which do r.ot wither too quickly, as tho heat is vory destructive to their beauty. Roses, camelias, and carnations are tho best foj , such a purpose. Hrwfiii nfaterlals* ' Thero was a dearth of wheat in England in 11629, 1630 and 1G93, and in those years bread ! was made of turnips. They wero boilod until they wero soft enough to mash, when the greater part of tho water was pressed out ol them. An equal weight of wheat meal was then mixed with tho pulp and tho dough was made in tho usual manner with yeast. Thi dough rose well in tho trough and being kneaded was formed into loaves and put in the oven. Bread prepared in this manner hag a peculiar sweetish taste which is said to be not disagroeable; it is light and whito as wheaten bread, and should bo kept aboul I twolvo hours before being cut, whon tho smell ind taste of tho turnip will scarcely be perceptible. Potato bread ia another kind and there are several processed of making it. The simplest is to choose tho largo, mealy sort, boil them ns for eating, then peel and mash them very flno, without adding water. Two parts ol wheat flour are added toono of potatoes, and a little more yeast than usual. Tho whole muss is kneaded into dough und ullowed to stand a proper time to rise and forment before it is put into the oven. Bread so propared is said to bo good and wholesomo Erasmus Darwin advised tho grating of raw potatoes into cold wator, where tho starcl] would subside. The starch from oight pounds of boiled potatoes, he asserted, would make a? good bread as tho best wheaten flour. Dr. Darwin even went so far as to say thai hay that has been kept in stacks so as to undergo tho saccharine process, may bo sc managed by grinding and fermentation with yeast, liko bread, as to servo in part for the susteuanco of mankind in times of scarcity. 1 hnil threo narts oi X V UliUlU wvm., - A wheat Hour and one part ot rico, separately Coil tho rico well, squeeze out the watei and mix tho mass with tho wheat.

Rome's Great Schemes.--For the month or more the subject of the annexation of Canada to the United States has been discussed in the Press of this country with a persistence that yfcgM shows a weil defined purpose. As a >|ja .solid muss ot'2,000,000 Roman Catholics ;v would be added to the power of the Church of Rome in this country, the ' fine Italian haud of the Jesuit is seen v$f? in this cry for annexation. The . Jesuits have become masters of Canada.. " '^$8 Recently, a bill was passed in the 'Vi>?<|j Legislature of Quebec approriatlng $400,000 as compensation to the Jesuits for property confiscated more than a century ago. With Canada annexed the next move ' of the Jesuits will be union with jffl Vfpvlno whprn thf?rp nrA 10.0(10.000 - Romau Catholics. The future is pregnant with great possibilities for Rome ../jySM in the American continent. Another .r-S quarter of a century will see 10,000.000 Romanists in this Republic, and with "$5| Canada and Mexico annexed, the Church that hates liberty would have, 25,000,000 followers for the American people to deal with. Better begin now while they are comparatively weak ' '-.-jM and separated by different forms of a government. The Stars and Stripes is a great, brave, wide flag, but it is not big enough to cover 25,000,000 subjects of the Pope. They would quickly > trail it in the dnst unless it bowed be- >:$|f fore the man iu the Vatican. The only practicable way of dealing ^ with Romanism in this country is to iiiffli ennvprt the neonle. Let the light of f the Gospel that has illumined the path 9 of Protectant people be poured into the minds of the Catholics and they will -be like other Christians?children of God and dors of righteousness. .V; The Converted Catholic. Last Febuary, Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, said in the United States .,-.'?1 Senate that there was Jesuit, or some : one in affiliation with the Jesuits, in : .^?8 every important newspaper office in ; the chief cities of the United States. 4% Our own personal epperience confirms -v$$| this. Whatever Is favorable to the Roman Catholics finds ample space in the ..Im8 columns of the daily press; whatever is unfavorable?such as the conversion -'^j of priests like Father Adds?is rigibly excluded. Surely the conversion of ' /J one of the authors of the "Catholic ^ Dictionary" which is found in every important newspaper office is au item o -og "news" that should find place in our -M metropolitan journals ; yet not one of the New York daily papers has noticed \?$| it. In literary as well as religious fl circles the conversion is a notable one. Monsignor Bouland received some at- ' tentionin the press necause of the /. ^ "favorableauspices" under which he ' renounced Romanism ; but his case is exceptional. Lowndexville A dvcrLUcr. Limited Benevlexce?There are persons who melt into tears of pity at ;;M the sight of sorrow, who suffer with the suffering of others and rejoice in their joy, who are tender and gentle in their manner, showering kindly words and sympathetic greetings on all whom they meet, but whose benevolence ends just there. When it comes 10 uutimu.y ;i giving or doing or denying self for J-ffl other's welfare, they have expended themselves in feeling, and there is nothing left. Of course, this refers to j such as are able to give?not to those who cannot. ^ Westminster Teacher. C'ontenmeut depends upon the person, nut upon his circumstances. One is content living in the plainest way, with bare necessaries and no luxuries, working hard and enduring many trials. Another is discontented in a palace, with all the comforts, delicacies. and ease that money can provide. The difference is in the hearts of the persons. The former lias in himself all lhe resources of contentment, and is not aff ected by changes in his eireumf-lanees.
