Railroad Wiml.
The Elberton Star seems to have a corner on
ne?6 in respect to tlie Georgia, Carolina and
Northern Railroad.
It will bo seen that that paper Is confidont
that the road will be built, and it maps out a
long list of extensions from Athens while
stating that the road will not be completed
to Atlanta. If this meansanything, and If it
Is true that the road will stop short <of Atlan
la, it occurs to us, mat tne ciiuugu ui
roust be a compromise or agreement with the
Clydes not to enter competition at the Gate
City. As It is generally understood that the
present stop of work on the road is owing to
active opposition on the part of the Clydes
it is barely possible that the Clydes
have consented to let Robertson build the
road to Athens, if the line be diverted at that
' point away from Atlanta down toward
the Everglades.
It seems real kind of the Clydes to allow
the building even to Athens of the Georgia,
Carolina and Nothern road. Small favors
thankfully received, and promptly noted.
As tar as we have heard, there is no detlnite
news of the Cumberland Gap, upon which the
vulger crowd may gaze. We know nothing
of It, except the advertisement in the paper,
and rumors to the effect that the road will be
finished to Abbeville in time to take off the
next crop, and that Mr. Averill will resign his
place on the South Carolina road to build the
Cumberland Gap. While there is no account,
ing for what any man may do in these days
and times we are unable to speak as to what
Mr. Averill may do in the matter of resigning
his position on the South Carolina road,
j . butas to the finishing of the road to Abbe,
ville during the present year we presume that
nobody believes that for one moment. .No
matter how much money Mr. Averill may
' have, and how determined he may be to
build the road, he and every man on the
South Carolina road could not finish it to Abbevllle
this year. If he finishes it any time
during the next year he will break the record
for prompt railroad building. The Georgia,
Central, with a Bank and all the equipments
at hand, built a little over a inllc a week, after
the track had been graded.
We may finally get both the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern road, and the Cumberland
Gap road, but these results will not .be
brought about in this year of grace.
But, kind reader, suppose both roads were
here to-day. bawling coat anu conon, oi wuut
benefit are they going to be to you, if yon
stand idle? While these roads may be oi
advantage to a few property owners, are you
: In position to receive any benetlt? It not,
' then go to work. Whining around the corners
and crying down the town, will do nt
good to him who stands idle. Let each man
i learn to earn more than he spends, and lei
eaob man strive to make bis own business
\ ' a success. If each man "builds up" his own
fortune, there need be no fear that the town
will boom and build up. We need individual
^ success.
i The Pros* C'onjfrcs*.
"In the matter of the repeal to the home
p.;-,., Bteud law, concerning which the Marion Stat
has interested Itself no much, the opinions
of the press of the state Is as follows:'
"For repealing the law?The Marion Star
the Pickens Sentinel, the Georgetown Enquir
er, and the Charleston World.
"Against It?The Laurensville Herald."
The Star counts the Columbia HcgiMer n>
supporting lis position also, but the Iirgistei
is nut absolutely committed to either side o
S ; the controversy."
f"The opinions of the press of the state upoi
thin matter cannot tail to be interesting. Le
. them speak out."?Charleston World.
The Marion Star and other respected news
papers are simply wasting their breath whet
talking of the repeal of the "Homesteat
f,j' Law." Tbe homestead is a feature of onrsys
temof Government,and every State in the Un
[ V Ion has made provision for the exemptloi
, s from levy and sale of the homestead, exeep
In cases where the loolish citizen ha
voted away his homestead for the bene
fit of railroad builders or property owners ii
town or along the line of any proposed rail
road. The homestend exemption may hi
lessened orincreased, at the wlilof the people
but we think It will be a lorn; time before tli
poor people of this country will vote ava;
hnmMtiin(<c?vTppnl. t? huilit railroad.'
**v" ? r' ?
If tlie Star and the Sentinel and tii
World can get the people excited on u rail
road question tlfey might vote away not onl;
i their own homesteads but the homesteads o
their neighbors, but they will never eouten
to turn their families out of doors to pay oh
debts.
As long as crazy newspapers fight th
homestead on the ground that wives and lit
tie children ought to be turned out ot door
to pay a husband's debts, they might just a
well sing Psalms to a dead horse. If the;
want theCtamilles deprived of shelter, le
them start a rallro:id which will built! i
thriving Atlanta on every man's farm, am
make all the "one horse-' towns metropolltai
^ cities.
Will the World tell us if the editor thinks i
&T right for a husband to be allowed to mort
>>, gage the homestead which the law sets off fo
the benefit of his family ? The law exempt
nothing for a man on his own account.. 'J in
exemption is for his family.
Is it Persecution ?
Sometime ago Mr. S. H. Oonnninghan
moved his printing office to Orangeburg, am
has been publishing a newspaper there eve
since. Instead of encouraging him in his en
tarprlse,?as most thrifty towns give counter
ance and encouragement to new comers,?i
jj'y seems that there has been an ell'ort to f;eez
him out, to starve;him out, or to run iiini ou
Several months ago. he discovered his lions
on fire. The alarm was promptly given, am
the property saved. A detective was thei
brought, and after months Mr. Cunninghan
was arrested soon after the grand jury ha
been dismissed, thus compelling him to res
...
under these charges until next Fall before h
he can possibly vindicate himself.
We believe the above are the facts in brie
and; without knowing much of Mr. ('nn
uncbam, we do not believe that lie is guilty
and we sympathise with any mauwhoi;
crowded or pushed to the wall. As far as w
have been able to see. Mr. Cunningham h:
published a paper whose tone has been bono
able, and with proper encouragement, h
could have made a newspaper of wliic
Orangeburg might well be proud. A goo
ne\vspa|>er should be a source of pride to an
town.and we cannot see why Mr.Cunuinghai
should not have the good will of thegooJ pe<
pic of Orangeburg.
jf% Why Sot ?
The Supreme Court, we believe, does no
pretend to investigate questions of fact tlm
arise or are decided in the lower courts.
From a laymen's stand point it seems tin
? a Judge is more likely to err on a question <
fact than on a question of law. The law i
laid down in the books and it is thoroughly
explained by the different lawyers in th
case, but sometimes a question of fact 1
not so easily settled. It would seem tlui
there is but little opportunity for errors a
law, buttbat there is every possibility' ft
error as to facts. If we were either lawye
or client and the court would consider onl
one of the questions, law or fact, we won!
prefer to have tiie question ot fact investlgi

any good lawyer give a good and still

Which Shall it He ?
Much foolish lamentation their lias been
l heard about the evils of Solid South. While
I pcliticans may think a broken South would
be better for otticc-seekcrs, we would like to
know which of the States they think should!
tie taken from the people, to whom they justly
belong and turned over to aliens scalawags
or negroes? If the newspapers and politicians
are wise enough to see evil in a Solid
South, they should also be able to tell us
which of the Southern states should be false !
to itself, and treacherous to its best interests? !

We have received a eopy of this collegiate

I'nder the prc.sent state of afi'airs it seems
strange to us that nobody is willing to write
on the negro problem. It has been so long j
since wp have seen any thi/ig on the subject,
that we are weary of waiting for a solution of
that probtem. If any Imdy should chance to
iecan article on that subject, we would he tinder
lasting obligations for an opportunity to
read it. This subject is being nrglectcd.
The Abbeville Literary club has discussed it
but six times, and, to the best, of our knowledge,
we liavo not seen more than titty or
sixty dissertations on the suljeei. What's
the matter with our people, anyhow ? They
ought to take some interest in surrounding
' issues.
There is no "Scotch-Irish race" any more
! than there is an ".Knglish-Scotch." or an "Kit
glish-Irish" race. This "Scotch-Irish" busi,
n??ss is of purely recent, origin. Children
horn of Irish and Scotch parents would l?e
Scotch-Irish or Irish-Scotch, but. in this coun(
try people who call themselves Scotch-Irish
, birth, and are simple enough to think that it
is more respectable to call themselves ScotchIrish.
That is about the si/.e of it.? Auyustn

Our understanding of the meaning of the
term "Scotch-Irish" is, that it refers to the
. individual's religious proclivities. '"ScotchIrish"
meaning a Protestant Irishman.
The publication of the W'mirvff Xcwa, one Of

When a person has remained for an hour or
more in a crowded and poorly ventilated

.. brenthing air vitiated l>.v exhalations from
the lungs, bodies and clothing of the oceu11
pants. The immediate elteet of these poisons
). is to debilitate, to lower vitality, and to impair
the natur.:l power of t lie system to re?iist
disease. lteneelt is that persons who are
attacked by inllauiaiory diseases, ;is pucumonia
or rheumatism, can generally trace the
beginning of the di sease to a chill felt on
t coining out of a crowded room into the coH
or damp air, wearing perhaps thin shoes and
iusutHcieot clothin-j. If these lads were generally
understood and aeied upon, thousands
of lives might be saved every year. It Is a
well-known fact that men who "camp out,"
11 sleeping on the around at all seasons of the
s year, seldom have pneumonia, and that
rheumatism, with them, comes, as a rule,
only from unwarrantable imprudences.

Is every person capable of appreciating them,

This is an enemy that is always present, in

and free intusioii of fresh air prevents

air is the antidote to this poison. The oxygen

PEMBROKE.
Ensilage Conclusion*.,
j !m a late issue of the Ohio Farmer a cor.
i respondent sums up the conclusions of the
I late ensilage convention so tersely that we
' publish his statement..
| First, it was conceded hy all present who
j had experimented with ensilage .that with a
I good-sized silo and ensilage sullicient to feed
' through the winter, and to supplement, the
j stock on any farm can be doubled.
Second, that corn is the most profitable
crop to raise for ensilage, and the B. & W.
Southern corn is the best. adapted to the
wants of this part, of the country.
Third, that ensilage must be made of
matureerops,and that crops should mature
enough to dent before being cut.
Fourth, that any air-tight room will do for
a silo, but it must be air-tight to obtain firstclass
ensilage at sides as well as at the middle
of pi!.
Fifth, that a frame building Is perhaps better
than stoneor brick, if the sides are made
air-tight by plastering or ceiling. The majority
seemed to favor plastering.
! Sixth, that ensilage is not a myth,.or a
luxury for the rich, but a necessity tor the
common farmer to enable him to compete
successfully with tlie Western farmer, in
I raising stock and dairying.
I Seventh, that with a silo we can harvest a
' crop regardless of the weather, and when we
: have ii harvested we have obtained that
j long-felt necessity, a cheap, succulent rood
| that promotes health in all kinds of stock
j ami keeps young stock growing through the
| win tor in-!e:ut of shrinking as when fed on
ordinary fce<i.
Kiuhth. that with mature corn, it makes
li'ilr- iliiU-reiico whether we fill slow or fast,
uiil a frost does not damage the quality
< 1 site ensilage if we get into the Kilo without
irain.
; Ninth, that about ten tons of good ensilage
I will keep it cow well, for one year, ami we can
raise from ten to thirty tons of ensilage per
j acre, according to lertility, cultivations,
! etc.
j Tenth, that the best results are obtained by
j planting in rows three and one-half to four
feet apart, with stalks about eight inches
[ apart in the row.

A brilliant anil very beautiful wedding was '
celebrated at Troy, Abbeville County, Tuesday
afternoon, when Dr. W. M. Norwood, oi 1

of Major J. K. Vance, of Troy, were married.
The ceremony was performed at "Eden

pastor of tho Greenville Methodist church
officiating. A number of relatives of thecontrading
parties and intimate fripnds of the ,
two families were preseut and witnessed the ;
quiet, solemn ceremony in the parlors of the ;
residence whereby the two young people
were "made one In matrimony."

The predictions of the Star in regard to the
early completion of the Georgia, Carolina <iNorthern
railroad are about to be realized
and the glad tidings are now announced,
that work will start as speedily as men and
money can do the work.
The Star has always been the first paper to
give the news from this great enterprise, and
It is with reelings or no uttie priae maiwoare
now able to give conclusive proof that we
have been on the rlt;ht track all the time.
We have It from a gentlemen who knows
whereof he speaks that a meeting of the directors
of the Covington & Macon road whs
held a few days since in Macon, when the
information was confidentially given them
tbatarrangements had been perfected for the
speedy completion of the Georgia, Carolina
it Northern from Monroe, N. C., via Elberton,
to Athens, where this line would stop, and
then be blended and operated in connection
with tho C. & M., and not extended to Atlanta,
as first contemplated. This latter round
will be completed to Florida, with a branch
from Madison, via Griffin, Ga., and to be carried
to New Orleans. Unbroken trains will
be run over the entire seaboard system to both
these terminals.
This change will make Athens headquarters
for the G. C. <fc N., and the machine shops
will be localed here. It will also make this
one of the most important trade centres In
the State, and double its business population.
< There is now not a shadow of doubt but
that the (?. C. & N. will be pushed to completion
sis speedily as possible, and we believe
that Inside of sixty days dirt will be broken
all along the line. It is proposed to begin
grading at Athens, in the direction of Elberton,
as also at Chester, Greenwood and Abbeville,
K. C. The Star readers can implicitly
rely on this news.

Editor Press and Banner :
Allow me to say a word, in all kindness, in
reference to your usuHlly careful correspondent
from this place. He has a right to entertain
whatever views he may choose on the
subject of "Instrumental Music In the Worship
of God." That is a right which I claim
for myself and I do not propose to take it
from tiny one. But I do seriously question
the right of your correspondent to Indict his
views on the subject referred to on the lealers
of a secular paper. Headers have some
riirhts as well as correspondents.
Hundreds of your readers regard these
views as cranky, exclusive and contrary to the.
general sentiment and practice of the christian
world. And it is not probable that anythin?
that LI. S. G., may say will induce them
to change their views.
Th:> book he eulogizes so extravagantly has
been noticed in the religious papaers of the
country and Its fallacies fully expressed
About the only impression It makes upon the
minds of most sensible christian people is to
satisfy them, It was written by a crank of the
first water, though certainly a great and gifted
man. People may laugh for a few days
over the old fogy notions of the book, but it
will soon sink into the oblivion it so richly
merits.
The views of Dr. Girardeau on "Instrumental
.Music" have been before the .Southern
Presbyterian church for thirteen years and I
am not aware of a single organ that has been
stc i '>cd, or any influence exerted by ills book
except to awaken I.Iio pity of his friends in
his behalf. Even It. S. G., derived his notions
oi this subject from some other source and
did not get them by reading through the
metaphysical fog of I>r. Glrradenu's book.
It may be a trivial thing to entertain eccentric
notions 011 religious subjects that antagonise
the whole christian world, but to demand
that others should accept these notions
and be governed by them Is slinply an impertinence
and one that deserved to be rebuked
and rebuked severely.

DEDICATION OF A NEW CHURCH.

The dedication of the Bell's Chapel church J
in the Nation took place last Sunday. The'
Ucv. A. J. Cautlien. Presiding Kider of this
District, assisted by the Kev. (Joke I). Mann
and Itev. Mr. Berry, pastor, conducted the
services.
The programme was, Love Feast, at nlno
o'clock, preaching at eleven by the Presiding
Klder. at three o'clock by Itev. Coke D. Mann.
There was an immense crowd of people present,
not more than three-fourths of the lauies
could not get seats in the house. Abbeville,
Long (;nnp, Cedar .Spring, Magnolia, the Savannah
Valley and Auderson Court House
were represented.
A collection was taken up to finish paying
for some work on tlio inside of the church?
the building being'al ready paid for?and the
requisite amount was soon raised, leaving a
surplus on hand.

The church is a new onp, A'ixSO (cot, weatherboarded,

fifty members.
Sound Ncnse.
Harmucll Veoplc.
There is a general Impression prevailing
throughout the .South that an abundant supply
of cheap money and a general assortment
of mills and manufactories are all that are
needed to make this section happy and prosperous.
New England lias both money and
manufactories, jet the following extract
I from a Massachusetts paper shows that the
so-called thrifty New Lnglauders are no better
oil than we are:
"All over New England farms are offered
for sums that would not pay for the buildings
upon them, such buildings, too, as a prairie
farmer would regard as quite palatial. With
hard work and proper economy a Jiving can
be made on these farms, and, as a general rule,
men wno have the 'gumption' to got along
and brcomc forehanded on new lands in the
Northwest can do the same here in New England."
Farmers County Alliance.
There will be a called meeting of the County
Alliance in the Court House at Abbeville on
j Saturday .Iline 1st at 11 A. M. , to consider
I matters of vital lmportunce and transact
sueh other business as may be brought before
the body. Sub-Alliances are earnestly requested
to send full delegations. Members of
Sub-Alliances other than delegates, are requested
to be present- It is important, brethren,
that we have a full meeting.

fliir iviHn a?nkp nml atlpntivo corrfiSDond
;nt at Alount Carmel sends us the following
iccount of the llnillng of the body of Tutt
Dansford in the Savannah river.
The deceased lived about one mile from Ihe
river. He wa? called from his house at night,
md went off with someone unknown to his 1
family. Not coming hnck that night his wifi
rave the alarm, fearing that he had been foul- J
ly dealt with. Upon examination it is said
that the place where he was seized could be
plainly seen, and recognized by the evidence
jf a scuffle. At the precipice from which he
was thrown into the river, there were unmistakable
signs of a i;cuffle,and those in search
Tor him, had no doubt that he bad been
thrown Into the river at that place. Several
tracks were plainly seen. It is said the tracks
if Robert Partlow were recognized among the
rest.
It is to be hoped that the Governor will offer
a suitable reward for the apprehension of
the perpetrators of so shocking a deed. The
lood name of the State demands that the
governor give this matter his attention.
tTutt Dansford is one of the pauties of negros
Indicted for robbing a store at Mount Carmel.
He turned Slate's evidence. Robert Partlow,
escaped, after arrest, and Tutt Dansford's
death may be attributed to the desire on the
part.of the criminals to get rid of him as a
witness against them :
Mount Carmel. S. C., May 13,1880. '
At 9 o'clock this A. M. the body of Tutt
Dansford, colored, who was foully murdered
last Tuesday night, was found floating in
Savannah river near this point. A Jury of
inquest was impanneled and found that he
catnc to his deatii by being drowned by un
known parties. His remains were pulled
ashore and burled on tibe bank of the river
by his friends. About two hundred people
were on t he grounds aud excitement ran high.
Four negroes were arrested on the spot and i
one or two since. Our citizens are determin- \
ed to bring the perpetrators of this foul mid- i
night murder to speedy Justice. The body \
presented an awlul spectacle to the eye of
civilized man : The hands were tied securely
behind his back with his suspenders and a
hickory withe and his pants were tied lightly
around his body and immediately in the center
of bi? back witii the same hickory withe
was tied hard and fast a large flat rock which
would.weigh about 50 pounds. A handkerchief
was closely and tightly drawn across
his mouth and tied around his neck used as a 4
"gag," his drawers were pulled down over his
feet and tied tightly around each ankle. In ,
this mnnner he was cast Into the "Hominy
Pot" In Savannah river and his body having j
been loosened the previous day by "drag <
hooks" had risen to the surface end floated '
down the river about two miles and just opposite
the Point, or the town of Lisbon.
Robert Partlow who Is still at large is believed
to be the Instigator, if not the perpetrator
of this foul deed.

PlilNfKTON, S. C., May 11, 1889.
E Htor Press and Runner :
I notice in your issue of t he 8th Instant a
call for tlie re organization of the "County
Teachers Association." It is a step in the
right, direction, and should receive the cordial
supportof all active teachers and Interested
patrons. I feel the need of thorough preparation
that I may fully discharge my duty to
the children of our country,?those upon
whom will soon devolve the duties of the
family, of the State and of the church.
Teachers, it is a sacred trust?a high calling!
To change the religion or pollticsbf a country,
give me the co-operation of the teachers
rather than a well disciplined army. Let us
prepare ourselves, therefore, for the work, and
I know of no better way than by heeding the
| call of the School Commissioner and meeting
for mutual aid and friendly discussion. I
hope vou will not exclude from your number
a Laurens teacher?one who points with pride
to dear old Abbeville county as his "beloved
land of childhood's early day."
