t*The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, August 21,1889. Keep Yoiir"Boy* Away from the Car*. Within the .last two weeks the cars at our depot have come very near running over two little boys, One barely escaped being caught by the engine, while one lay down on the track to let a freight car pass over him. The car had received a big pusb, and was roKiug down the track. If the engine had followed the little boy would have been ground iuto pulp or sausago meat and could have been put to no practical use. Conductor Williams joins Engineer Syfar, in requesting parents to keep their children irom the car wheels. They annoy the officers of the road by getting in the way of the cars. They do not wantto kill anybody's little boy, but if they don't stay away from the depot the probability Is that some of them will be killed. Write Short Pieces, in wnuDg lor newhpapms it j? won tv uoc as few words as will state the facts clearly. Don't use fifteen words if ten will convey the idea. Don't write any funny paragraphs. They put the printer to trouble in marking thein out. Don't send any original poetry to a printing ofllee. Don't give vent to your feelings by such original expressions as "we regret." ami "we are pleased." The public cares nothing for information of this sort. We repeat, don't write anything funny. It may k ill the editor. In noticing a sermon or speech, please state something that was said aud don't smother the speaker with descriptions of bis eloquence. . ? Jfew .Sidewalk. Wbynot make a good sidewalk from the oil mill to Miller's hotel? The ugly guliey that now gl vts a shabby apyearance to strangers and visitors should be filled up, a good sidewalk made, and trees set out. The street from the public square to the depot is one of the mast prominent streets in town, and yet there iauot a more ragged, ugly street on any baek lot In town. It that street led to a back lot somewhere, we would expecta little attention to be glvsn It. Let us, for the looks of the town, even If not for any use, work on the unsightly side of the street. Will Go to Greenville. Mr. Frank F. Martin, of Greenwood, has contracted with Messrs.

Brother McClintock and his good < people are wide awake. Mrs. Larken Agnew, of Donalds, died last Friday morning and was burled at Greenville church, Rev. W. F. Pearson officiating at the funeral. This is a said bereavement. Five children are left motherless and a kind bus- : band grief stricken. We acknowledge with thankB a copy of the Philadelphia Press containing the farewell ex- i erclses on the occasion of Rev. M. W. Presaly'a dissolution of pastorate. The resolutions of the congregation to Mr. Pressly were very complimentory. We foiled to notice a few weeks ago the vIbIt to Due West of oar friend and class mate June Haddon, of Indian Territory. Mr. Haddon is doing well there. Has charge of a large government school as superintendant ana Is making a living as well as making a reputation. Due West boys seem to do well everywhere. We were much interested the othetr day in hearing Prof. Kennedy tell of his different trips to Illinois when a boy and also later in life. He made two trips in the wagon, fourUorse team. It took a month to go. All the family was along. On one trip every river between here and there was forded. The big saddle horse stumbled on a rook and fell In one of the rivers while crossing, wetting the driver, who was our present distinguished friend. Another trip was made later in a carriage, with many incidents foiling out by the wav. Some of them unfortunate?others verv laughable. On one trip President Kennedy got i qto a cholcra epidemic. What would people think now of starting to Illinois In a four-horse wagon or a carriage. We 6ee our friend Mr. J. Altheus Johnson is about to start West again on Government business.

H." of the Presbyterian, objects to oar complimenting the Due West girls, because me "crossed the Savannah river." He puts us on the public pillory for doing so. our friend forgets that the exception only proves the rule. From recent indications and some recent drives we thought oar friend , proud of them, to?. Perhaps though ye local | claims the right of monopoly in "dotting" the girls. Rev. W. W. Orr'sHuntersville High School makes a fine showing in last Presbyterian. The cut of the building looks well. Rev. Orr is the pushing President and is doing a 1 good work. Rev. W. F. Pearson preached a fine sermon 1 in the Associate Reformed church last Sab- . bath night from the wordB. Come thou and go with us and we will do thee good. He got the closest attention of the audience. The ' sermon was touching, practical, largely on Heavenly.

John Edwards, indicted for assault and battery, with intent to kill, and William Smith, charged with house-breaking in day time, made their escape from the Abbeville Jail last Monday night. They opened the top celling of their cell, went In the garret, came down the scuttle hole In the hall, and from the floor of the third story v,hey went out of a window, and down the lighting rod. Loni; ago, a prisoner cut a hole In the ceiling of this cell. The short piece of plank was put back, which was afterwards covered over on the top with thin sheet-iron or tin. the edges being nailed to the adjoining celling plank. The place where the old hole was made, was perfectly plain to view, and ltls supposed one of the prisoners was lilted by the other, who, either with his hands or his head, pushed the short plank op, when the nails pulled through the tin or sheet-Iron. Sheriff Mann always put his worst prisoners in this cell, for the reason that he supposed it was sheetiron celled and the safest one In the JaiL Certainly no blame at all should attach to the 8herlffor to the Jailer and very little, If any, should be laid to the prisoners. They were confined and safely locked in the place, which had been prepared for them by the county. Sheriff Mann considers their escape due to no negligence on his own part. He cannot pay a reward for their return, but is willing to pay for the trouble of bringing them back. Snerlff Mann is as careful of his prisoners as it is possible for any man to be,, but when he has cells that are about as saie as me ordinary n an coops, uo auuuiu uui be blamed if some ol' big prisoners Ebould walk off while be Is asleep. He can't stay up all night to watch them. He don't get pay enough to do that. While Sheriff Mann is anxious to hear of the escaped prisoners, we are inclined to think it would be well for them and the county, If they go to distant parts, Died of typhoid fever Tuesday evening, August 18,1889. Mrs. Mary A. McAdams, wife of W. R. McAdams, of Antreville. She had been sick about two weeks. She leaves a husband and two children.

V;A ' DAVID IS MOMTED KING. LESSON VIII, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, AUG. 25. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. rri, 1-13?Commit Verses ll-UJ?Ooldcn Text, I Sam. xvl, 7?Commentiry by the Rev. D. M. Stearns. 1 | [Compiled from Lesson Helper Quarterly by permission of H. S. Hoffman, publisher, Philadelphia.] L "And the Lord said uqjfo Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel." So difficult is it for us to side wit'h God, regardless of our own thoughts or feelings or preferences, that even the great and good Samuel is here seen clinging in his heart (for he went not aear him,- chap, xv, 85; to Saul after the Lord had rejected him. We must remember that the Lord did not reject Saul until Saul had persistently rejected and disobeyed the Lord (chaps, xiii, 13,14; xv, 26), so that Saul, had no one to blame but himself for the loss of his position. "I will send thee to Jesse, the Bethlehemite, for I have provided me a king among his sons." So it is written in the Psalms, "He chose David also His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;" and again, "I have found David my servant; witH my noly oil have I anointed him." (Palxxviii, 70;lxxxix, 20.) "Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south, but God to the judge; Heputteth down one and aetteth up another." (Ps. Ixxv, 0.) Let the children tell how Bethlehem (the house of broad) had already become famous in Bible history in connection with Rachel and Benjamin, Boaz and Ruth; and let the older scholars ponder the deep things in these incidents. 2. "How can I go! If Saul hear it, he will kill me." This does not sound like the utterance of a faithful, fearless follower of the Lord God of Hosts. It might be said to Samuel, "Who art thou that thou ahouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, * * * and forgettest the Lord thy Maker?" (Isa. 11,12, 13.) 8. "I will show thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto Me him whom I name unto thee." The servant of the Lord has only to move forward calmly and in perfect confidence in his captain and heisalwayB promised sure guidance. "I will instruct thiee and teach thee is the way which thou shalt go." "Thine eari shall hear a word behind thee saying, this is the way." "It shall be told thee what thou must do." "It shall be given you what ye shall speak." (Pa. xxxii, 8; Isa. xxx, 21; Acts ix, 6; Matt, x, 19.) 4. "And Samuel did that which the Lord spake." This is now as it should be, the word of the Lord prevails, and the servant is simply obedient and comes to Bethlehem leaving God to carry out His own plans and manage His own affairs in His own wise way. When we are thus passive and also obedient in His hands, all will be well and His purpose unhindered. "The elders of the town trembled." Here is another indication of lack of fellowship with God, for if their hearts were J U?J- ? ri^JUb CUiU llUCU WUUUWU II5UV W4U1W .?VUAM have been rejoicing instead of trembling at a visit from the Lord's servant; but probably they, too, were clinging to the disobedient king. God is the God of Peace, and Jesus the Prince of Peace; it ia only where there is persistent enmity to God that there is need for a sword instead of peace. 5. "I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord." He usee the very words which he was told to use (v. 2), and that is always the right thing to do. Jesus TTimwrif said only what the Father told Him (John xii, 49); Jeremiah and Ezekiel were to speak only the Lord's words (Jer. i, 7-9; Ezek. iii, 4, 10,11, 17); and when we as messengers of the Lord confine oru> selves to the Lord's message, rather than give our thoughts about it, surely we shall be moel pleasing to Wim. 8, 7. "The Lordilcokath on the heart" As the first of Jesse's sons stood before Samuel, there was something about him which caused Samuel to think that he was the Lord's anointed; but how solemn the word of the Lord, "I have refused him." Let us again repeat that in the matter of salvation the Lord refuses none who come to Him; but this is a matter of special service, and it is not stature nor a fair countenance He seeks, but a heart right with Himself, "a man after his own heart" (chap, xiii, 14). 8-10. "Jesse made seven of his sons to pass hflfnra Rftmnfil! and Samuel said unto Jesse. the Lord hath not chosen these." Here, then, is an apparent failure; the Lord had said to Samuel that He had provided a ling from among Jesse's isons, and yet here aro all the sons whom Jesse had thought it necessary to bring; and for this special service, this place of honor, till are set aside, the right man has not appeared. God's thoughts and ways are as much higher than ours as heaven is higher than earth; and how few seem to know His thoughts or understand His counsel. 1L "Send and fetch him, for we .will not sit down till he come hither." So everything has to stand still till the slighted son is brought. In reply to Samuel's question as to whether these 3eve:i were all his sons Jesse replied that the youngest was at home keeping the sheep, and it was for him that they were now sending and waiting. If we judge from chap, xvii, 28, it would seem that some of David's older brothers did not accept cheerfully their .being rejected, nor did they soon forget it, but were joalous of him. Only the grace of God, and abundance of it, can enable us to act upon tho precepts, "In honor preferring one another," and "In loneliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." (Romfzii, 10; PliL ii, 3.) But inasmuch as His grace is sufficient for us, and He would have us do it, let us aim at it and rely upon him for the sufficient grace. We are not told whether David took kindly to being left at home that day to keep the sheep, but we may Hope that ne oia, ior a spine 01 meekness seems to characterize him. But there is one great lesson here which I wish that all might lay to heart, and that is, that if we meekly and fully follow the Lord, and rely upon Him, He will always get us where He wants us, and where He does not want us, of course, we will not want to be. Remembering this will enable us to live above all real or fancied slights from others and keep us in His own place. Two or three precepts which cover this point will be found in Ps. mrvii, 4?7; Prov. xvi, 8; PhiL iv, 8,1. 12. "Andhesent,and broughthimin, * * * and the Lord said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he." As we are thus for the first time personally introduced to David, the son of Jesse, the history of whose kingdom, past and future, fills so much of Scripture, and with whom we expect to be somewhat intimately associated when Jesus, the son of David, who is also the church's Bridegroom, shall sit on David's throne, we can only stand and gaze upon this ruddy, good looking young ttihti and wonder at the grace of God in choosing a mortal man for such a glorious immortal future; and then turning to our own souls we would say: O, my soul, see that that thou dost never cease to adore, and cry aloud the praises of Him, whose grace has called you, passing by so many others, to be a king-priest unto God, washing you in His own precious blood. 18. "Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brethren." He was afterwards, at Hebron, anointed king over the house of Judah, and somewhat later, at the same place, anointed king over all Israel. (II Sam. ii, 4; v, 1-5.)

The ealtivatlon of out-door grapes for do- 1 meatlo use has become so general that the subject of keeping them for winter use, and the best method, may profitably claim attention. The past season I selected from over i one hundred varieties in my grounds forty of those In general cultivation, and a few vary recent Introductions, to test their keeping qualities. It Is the generally received opinion that the thick-skinned ^native seedlings are the only keepers. This is correct so far as regards preserving flavor, bnt several hyBWda ot foreign blood are'the best keepers known. The varieties Intended to be laid op for winter use should bo those only which adhere well to the stem and are not Inclined to shrivel soon after removal from the vine. They should be allowed to remain on the vine as < long as they are safe from frost; a dear dry day is necessary for pioking; careful hand* ling and shallow baskets are important. The room In which they are to De kept for awhile should be well ventilated and the fruit laid out in single layers on tables or in shallow baskets where the air freely circulates, closing the windows at night and in damp weather. Xn about t(*n days the stems will be dried sufficiently to prevent moulding after they are laid away. When danger from this is over, and the stems resemble those of ralBins, the time for packing has arrived. I have used baskets for permanent packing, but much prefer shallow trays or boxes of uniform size to be placed one above the other bo that each one covers the box below, the uppermost only needing a cover. Until very oold weather the boxes can be piled so as to allow the remaining moisture to escape through a crevice -bout tb? width of a knife blade. Before packing, each bunch Bhould be examined, and all injured, oracked and rotten berries removed with suitable scissors; if two layers are paoked in a box, a sheet of paper should intervene; the boxes must be kept in a dry, oool room, or passage, at an even temperature. If the thermometer goes muoh below freezing point a blanket or newspaper can be thrown over them to be removed In mild weather. Looking them over once In the winter and removing defective berries will suffloe, the poorest keepers being placed accessible. Under this treatment the best keepers will be In good order as late as February, after which they deteriorate.?William Mead Pattlson of Quebec, In American Agriculturist Wanted.

Self Protection?One Stop. Christian Neighbor. It requires no argument to con vine? men that self protection is a dpty. ; People are liable to barm from one an>ther, from themselves, from other jriminals, and from natural causes. Waiving the sources of harm which f, cnay come from animals, from natural ^ jauses, and from one's self, let the ques- , f tion be confined to the harm which ^Tlm may come from other persons. ^ Waiving, further, the harm which may be done to property, reputation r and kindred interests, let self protection be restricted to the body?the physical part of one's self. This Is what is generally understood when mm men speak of protecting or defending themselves. How can a man best pro- V tect himself? 1. Let him put away from his person all deadly weapons. 2. Let him keep his tongue from falsehood, slander and profanity. 3. Let him abstain from intoxicat- ^ ing drink, refrain from all species of . gambling and keep himself away from the company of wicked men. 4^ Let him refrain from meddling svith the business or disputes of other , persons, A man who will do these things goes 1 long way in protecting himself, and these things can be done by any man " ^ who chooses so to act, though he may not be a real Christian. Few men have been killed who have conducted themselves according to the sugges- m Jf tions specified; and men who have * . thus conducted themselves h$ve seldom found occasion to hurt, much less to attempt to kill others. . ' \ v, A prudent and brave man can, if he \ ^ 30 will:?, protect himself as suggested. A Christian will do the things specified and something more. How the Christian may 'and should protect ..or defend himself we may say something iiereafter. Their Wires sad Families. It is reported that President Allen, of the Forty-second Street Bailway, New York, when confronted with proofs of his fraudulent bond issues m exclaimed: "I could easily enough bear it myself, but the disgrace will he shared by my whole family." The Minneapolis forger. Collum said when caught: "I want to settle this, if pcesible, for the sake of my wife ana children. My disgrace is likely to kill my wife." xne JNew * ors oiar sayB in connect- -'.- 'v [on with this subject: "Why did not these men think of their familliee when they were tempted to erime ? There is a too-prevalent idea that the disgrace consists in getting found out. But the stigma is attached by the wrong deed, not by, its disclosure. The honor and peace of these families were involved and endangered when their heads began to raise money dishonestly. 'Consequences are unpitying,' wrote a stern moralist. Ana a man who has a real regard for his wife and children MU remember that before he exposes them & to the consequences of his own mi*- ;'v conduct. "Mourning after discovery is a poor performance. B will neither avert disaster nor lieal wounds." The number of men to-day ready for duty upon the Continent may be stated to be in round figures, as fol- C& lows: Germany ..5,900,000. j; France.. .5,710,000., ;' 7< Russia 6,675.000. Italy 3,580,000. ,jj Australia 4.815.000. Total 25,180,000. If the present alliances should hold food in the event of war, Germany, taly and Australia could call out 18,- > 745,000 men against 12,385,000 men from France and Russia. Using the old figure of speech, and omitting England from our consideration as neutral, "the balance of power" would swing almost evenly. But the amount of misery, cruelty, crime, material waste ana moral degradation, which would come to Europe in consequence of such a tremendous conflict of forces, is simply incalculable and appalling.?Advocate of Peace. The Woman's Journal mentions a young artist of Boston, Miss Caroline King, who was earning a fair income, ~\i but was anxious to make enough in addition to enable her to visit Paris in tbe interest of her art-studies. A New York firm made a contract with her for a.series of designs representing the various industries of women, and Hiss King received an order for three hundred dollars, which would enable her to make the Paris trip; but being informed that they were to be used to deoorate cigarette packages, Miss King felt that she coula not conscientiously furnish them. She gave up the threehundred-dollar order ana with it her European trip. All honor to Miss King ! May her praiseworthy action in declining to do anything to promote the cigarette evil become widely known and bring to her abundantly other patronage not less valuable in a money point of view and free of moral taint. War can never long prevail in Christendom without the physical and moral aid of Christians. I feel distressed that the professed followers of the Prince of Peace, the meek, the patient, the lowly and forgiving Lamb of God, do not feel their individual responsibility in this cause, and by coming out from this sin. throw their whole pow er on the side of peace and truth and love. Where are the ministers of the sanctuary? Where are the precious 1 sons aDd daughters of Zion? "O ' earth ! earth ! earth!" cover not the blood that soaks thy soil, conceal not the slain which have covered thy fields until the disciples of the Great Peacemaker, the Church of the bleeding Lamb, shall awake to her duty, and wave the Peace Banner of her Prince over the world.?Titua Ooan. While the cloth to wrap a bale of cotton in cotton costs about 30 cents more than the cloth to wrap same in jute at the present cut prices of jute, it is a good investment, because sinoe the tare question is practically settled, wrappiug the crop in cotton will make each bale bring about $1.25 per bale more than in jute.?Economist. Prof. Whitney says that from the summit of Mt. Hamilton, in California, more of the earth's surface can be seen than from any other spot on the globe, though it is only 4,500 feet high. So long as merely offensive ware are the object of detestation, with no attack oirthe war system itself, the war on outTtide will be approved as defensive. Such has been, and will be, the uttei'ence of every nation. * . , V - 'V' ' ' -
