Oar New Kn^inr.
Oar new engine, with which we expect, to
run our printing presses, arrived last Saturday,
and is now at the depot, where It will remain
until we get the necessary shafting put
up. We hope to have the whole in place by
tbe last of this week.
We have never had experience with steam,
t?n*nthore in whose iurigment we rely, ad
vised as to make the Investment. We will
give the public our opinion after we have
tried the experiment. At present we believe
the engine will add greatly to our facilities
for doing quick work and cheap work, others
run similar engines at a cost of less than
five cents an hour for fuel, and we see no reason
why we can't do the same. If we can run
off both sides of our paper and the Christian
Neighbor in six or seven hours, the cost of
kerosene would bet!0 or So ccnts instead of S2
as now, and the time of the feeder would be
greatly lessened?to say nothing of the com&aratlve
certainty of being able to run at any
our.

ABBEVILLE'S MILLINERY STORES.
.1 few Remarks en the Rennty or Art
an<l Naliirr us l>is]>lH.v< ?l at Their
Recent Upciiiuus.
The openings of the Fall and Winter stocks
of millinery Is always notable events in Abbeville.
Tbe town hns been famous for Its
fashionable millinery and beautiful women
since the war. Everybody remembers that
Mr. Fowler opened a millinery establishment
In Abbeville which astonished the people
with its splendor and excellence, and led captive
the beauty and loveincss of all this country.
They had never seen anything like It,
and the artful display of tbe prettiest goods
that had ever been seen In these parts, drew
customers from every nook and corner of the
county, and the fame of the place lor beautiful
goods and beautilul women having gone
abroad, orders for goods were sent to Abbeville
from distant conn ties, and to this day
stricken lovers come to Abbeville for charming
brides and ideal wives.
The artistic skill with which the business
has been carried on since Mr. Fowler's day
has constantly increased. The goods have
become more beautifiil and attractive, and
tbe prices have comedown so low that many
customers are actually ashamed to ask for a
reduction in the regular price at either of our
millinery stores.
It is said that pretty feathers make pretty
birds. Reasoning from aualogy, It may be
then that the presenoe among us of the most
beautiful women on the face of the earth, is
accounted for in the presence of our mllinery
stores, to enter eitherof which would suggest
a fairy land to the bewildered bachelor who
ijoes in and comes out. and mourns because
he has nobody lor whom to settle tbe bill for
a bonnet which is "jost too lovely," and who
luis no reason to buy the prettiest dress that
ever greeted the eye of maid or matron.
The seasons come and go, and tbe beautiful
millinery continue toplease tbe people, more
and more, while they.adorn the female form
divine with a sweetecgrace than In the former
days.
Ribbons, flowers and feathers, In the most
graceful confusion, adorn the prettiest bonnets
and the loveliest hats that ever were
seen. The fact is, there is only one thing
this season which is prettier In bonnets?that
is, a pretty face.
Silks, velvets, trinjnlngs, cashlmers, and
cheap goods, which ae Just too pretty for
any use. All tbe shelves, drawers and counters
of the milllney stores, and tempt the ladies
to buy as long aslhey or their husbands
hijwn q Hnitur in noah ?
When It comes to oirsets, wraps, hosiery,
sjloves and shoes, the'ladles, after spending
all their money, havelhe balance charged to
itielr husbands, and tie delighted salesman is
proud of his shekels, ?d In ttie long bills ol
goods sold on snort cijdit there is an entire
satisfaction to buyer aDd seller.
It has been said thai the flatter ot an apron
string may settle thekte of many a. woman.
If that is so, we can Iccount for the many
marriages that ari taking place, nearly
uvery day. With themveution of beautiful
headgear, and the apfearance of charming
female garniture, corri the loveliest of womankind.
No woimn, arrayed lnjpretty
<iress, pretty bonnet, ffetty shoes, and all the
paraphranalia that goto make up a pretty
woman, could fall t? be divinely fair and
lovely beybnd degree J The day for unlovely
women departed wlthfhe advent of the millinery
stores which r?iind us of fairy land,
and whose goods caua us to fall down and
worship those who war it, and wbom we
would install as qu?us of our hearts and
- homes.
15eglnn!ng with last{Wednesday there was
such a display of attractive goods for the remainder
ol the week 1; to make thecasual observer
believe that all the beautiful in nature
' had come to give a he rty welcome to all the
beautiful in art. The lending of the beautiful
in art and nature i lovely Indeed.
It being a woman's bristian duty to look
as pretty as possible, I. may be that eveu our
millinery stores will ontrlbute not only to
. the beauty of tbe pcrfu but to the outward
. growth in Christian gbce. <
ladies, we cannot rtommend either particular
store more thii the other, and our
Iftolr nf knowlpftee h.9 to thfi value Of the
. thousand and one litt-fc articles which fill the
. mllllucry and dress (Apartments, forbids us
from mentioning a?y one single article.
; The fact is, that we might not know
; the name of the prettfist article in the stores,
and If we were told ib| name, we might not
know how to spell it. rlea.se do yourself and
your husband a lavoriy calling at the store
; at once. No fear thatfhe husband will love
1 you less or be dlspluscd if you make Ju'
dicious luvestment. Jusbands, no less than
lovers, are delighted lith pretty drosses, pret"
ty bonnets, ana prett,'; shoes. Don't forget
: this.

The Charleston World.
Mr. Green, of the Chaf0/iony^fId, cant$i>bn
a visit to Abbeville last weel^-jind paid a
very pleasant call at the Press and Bmker
office. Mr. Green was herp to write up the
town for bis excellent dally, which, we learn,
is growing In public favor. He Is an Interesting
talker on newspapers and newspapermaking,
and has written a handsome little
sketch of the town, which appeared in the
World of yesterday. He makes pleasant personal
meution of many of our citizens, and
seems to be in love with the town which all
love so much. We extract the following from
his letter:
Lying here In this beautiful Piedmont region
the little city of Ahberllle is a sight to
gladden the eye with its prettv streets and
gardens, its churches and handsome reslUeuces,
the city is a picture with a charm. In
every detail there is evidence of cultured
litKlU, lilJU till till Ul 1 C11UCUJCUv }/c> ?uuvo Itiiv*
softens all. In the drama of our country's
history, scenes Lave beeu enacted here which
taught patriotism, unselfishness, and devotion
to principle, and these lessons of the
toldeu times have never been forgotteu. Yesterday
a citizen, In speaking of the place,
proudly exclaimed: "Others have built
houses, wfe have made men!"
The dark days were over long ago, and the
dawn of good fortune has grown In to the ,
noonday of prosperity. There are no marks
of the war-time, save in the hearts of the
afflicted , and the remembrances of the past !
are but Inspirations to a great future.
The city Is growing dally in all that goes
to make a place prosperous, and the omens
of a bright future ar emany and full of mean
inFThere
are some grand churches here, and
they are the pride of the people, The Episcopal
church Is a noble cathedral-like pile, |
classic in every detail. The grounds above it
are among the handsomest in the country. '
For many years this church, with Its magni- ,
ticent grounds has stood thus, only growing
more beautiful with the flight of time.
The Presbyterian church is a handsome
brick structure in modern style, which was
finished last spring. It cost 814,000, and is a
model house of worship throughout.
The Methodist and Catholic churhes are i
also very beuutiful edifices standing Just ]
across the street from the Presbyterian church ,
and the three form as pretty an architectural ;
group as there can be found In the state,
The Baptist church Is a substantial brick <
building. It is needless to say that the ,
people of Abbeville are as proud of their
divines as of their churches, and with as good 1
reason. j
The High School is under the management ,
of Professor J. W. Thomson and aa able
assistant. Professor Thomson is a very J
capable tutor, and under his management |
the school has been remarkably successful.
There are also several private schools which '
redound much to the credit of the city. S
The negroes have one of the handsomest j
schools In the state. It is a donation of some .
Northern Presbyterians. It Is a brick build- 1
lng four stories high, with a mansard roof, J
1 in tho otpvatinn nnd t
UUU IIUO UV/UO UiUbU vuw v.. .
advancement of the colored people, who are
in perfect harmony with the wnite citizens .
in ail things which tend to the betterment of 1
the city. i
In the matter of livery and sale stables ,
this town is ahead of almost every one or its '
size In the state. Messrp. A. M. Hill & Sons
have in their livery business maDy horses of f
which the stablemen of Charleston would be
proud. In the winter the Messrs. Hill do a
very large sale business, and at all times their f
large warerooms are filled with the best \
makes of wagons, buggies and carriages. ,
Messrs. Walllngford <fc Russell also have 1
fine stables, and command a large amount of ]
patronage.
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK t
was established about three yeiirs ago with a J
capital stock of about 150,000. It has been a I
great success, and its capital Btock baa been
increased toS75,000. ' I
The New Hotel was built about four years 1
ago by Mr. T. C. Seal. He manages It him- 1
self and it Is a credit to the place. It Is a
handsome brick building three stories high,
situated in the centre of the city, and in convenient
distance of the depot and all the ,
churches. J
There is no reason why any of the many <
enterprises which have succeeded In other .
cities of tbe state would prove unsuccessful *
here. In the midst of a.very fine agricultural
region, and with splendid forests of fine {
woods all around it, there Is no reason why <
Abbeville should not do a large share of the
manufacturing of the state. As an experiment,
a cotton seed oil mill is being built at ]
n of *<3n f."W. and its owners are entirely ,
confident of Its success. The officers of the J
company are: A. W. Smith, president; ft. E. 1
Hill, general manager and treasurer, and C. 1
Evans, recently of Memphis, Tenn., superln- ]
ten dent .
What this city needs very mnch is adequate
railroad facilities, and these she will ]
soon have. The Georgia, Carolina and North- ^
ern railroad, a part or a great trunkjine from
the North to the South, giving a snnectlon 1
with many towns of the upper section of the 1
State. j
Abbeville will certainly be developed very
soon. With such natural advantages as she
possesses, and such intelligence and energy <
as her progressive citizens display, the future .
can bring nothing less than the fruition of
her brightest hopes. '
? . ? <
THE QUESTION OF TARE.
The Farmer* Hay be lifted to Draw 1
Chestnuts out of the Fire for Oth- '
era.
The resolution passed at New Orleans that ,
has given rise to the discussion of tare was as ,
follows: 1
"Resolved, That on and alter the first day* j
of October, 1889, all cotton shall be sold bv net ,
weight, allowing twenty-four (24) pounds off ,
gross weight for tare on Jute covered bales, '
and sixteen (16) pounds on for tare on cotton <
covered bales: the cotton covered to be of .
standard weight, three-quarters of a pound to ,
the yard. 1
The Aiken Recorder says: <
"Under this resolution, If the principle is
carried Into effect, when a farmer brings a
bale oi cottoD into market, if it is covered with
J ate 24 pounds are deducted from the gross I
weight, aud If with cotton 16 pounds, and he <
is then paid only for the actual cotton. This
change is ostensibly to be made in the interests
ot the farmers, but we are not quite Bure I
that their interest will be served. Heretofore j
they received the price of cotton, 10 or 10U ,
cents per pound, for their bagging ana 1
ties. but under the proposed system they will i
receive nothing for these, ana it is supposed j
that as an offset a correspondingly increased ,
price will be paid for the cotton. If this is '
done the farmer will be safe; but we are not .
sure that it will be; and, after all, the farmer (
Is not nearly so much interested in this matter
of tare as the buyer. Many farmers will
not understand It, and will not like It, and It
Is probable that at first a good deal of dlssat- 1
lsfactlon will result. If the farmers do not
keep their eyes open they will be used to pull
the chestnuts oat of the Are for somebody I
elBe's benefit.'"
The Augusta Evening News says: "But the
farmers will lose money by such a tare rule,
or by Belling cotton at net weight, says some.
This is another question, and for whose results
the farmer alone is responsible, The farmers 1
uskedforthe resolution and this action, and |
he Is supposed to be willing to stand by its ,
consequences. The farmer la fighting the 1
Jute trust, is fighting for an object, for a principle,
and as all fighting 1b expensive and all <
war is costly, the farmer Is the roan to stand
the expense. Its his fight, ard If he is doing
the dancing he must be expected to pay the 1
fiddler. <

South Carolina, located as follows: Greenville,

After the Gamblers.
mber 26.?A numt^
&Oprt?nifleat Tidies of this city hire
formed airafe?o?|iation and hired a la^
yer to prosefeute the gamblers of tha"
city under the State law. The vqfSj
was begun to-day with the arrest 01
John Morris, the proprietor of a gambling
house on Clark street.
The attorney for the ladies says that
there is every reason to believe the
gamblers will very soon become frightened.
The State Jaw against gambling
is very severe. It provides that a person
convicted the first time of running
a gamling house or renting property to
be occupied by a gambling house snail
be fined $100, and that on second conviction
the One shall not be less than
$500 and the additional penalty of six
months in the Jcounty jail, and on the
third conviction the penality shall be
$500 flue and one year In the* penitentiary.
The ladies, whose names, except
that of Mrs. Van Ardel, are not made
public,intend to push the cases to the
full extent of the law. They are taking
steps to convict, not only the gamblers
themselves, buv. also the men whe own
buildings where gambling houses are
run.
Not unlikely that some men who are
wilfully blind and dumb on gambling
will have the courage to speak out
against these ladies, as being "out of
their place." BleB9ing on all such women
every where. Ed. C. N.
Signs of a Cold Winter.
""We are going to have an early fall
and a long, cold, hard winter," remarked
Samuel Lovelace, an old Jersey
farmer, to several friends at the new
Washington market yesterday. "How
To you figure that out?" asked one of
the market-meu. "In the first place,"
the Jerseyman replied, "just try the
skin of any of your fruit. You will
find your apples and peacheij and
ijrapee, and all your fruit, for that matter,
which is home-grown, with a thicker
and tougher skin than you have
jeeu for several years. That is one of
the indications. That is the way
nature takes care of her products.
Last winter apples and other fruits
were so thin-skinned and tender that it
was hard to gather them without bruisng
them, if you will remember, and
we had an extraordinarily mild winter.
2orn is another of nature's sign-boards,
rhe ears this year are protected by
;hicker and stronger husks than I have
leen before for yearsj and talking with
'armers up in Pennsylvania I find it is
;he same Way. Wheat and rye straw
ire tougher, hay is wirier, and the seed>odsare
better protected than usual,
these are old farmers' signs, and they
ire good one's because they don't come
rom any moon-planting superstition,

fear by a class of men whose interests

The Philosophy of Tears.
I was in company the other day
with my friend, the professor of chemistry,
and, being in a reflective mood,
I chanced to say : "Professor, tears are
a curious thing."
"By no means," replied he promptly.
"Their composition is quite simple
: about ninety-eight parts water,
and two parts salt, albumen, and mucus."
I did not pursue the conversation,
but thought, without saying so,
that if tears are not a curious thing, a
professor of chemistry certainly is.
I happened; a few days after, to repeat
the conversation to our professor
of physiology, who, bringing his superciliary
muscles into play, said:
"Simple as it may appear to Dr. Atom,
the genesis of tears is quite a complex
process, and they have multiple mechanical
functions. They are secreted
by the lachrymal gland, and partly by
the orbicularis muscle are conveyed into
the lachrymal canal, and thence into
the eye, which they flood, and thus
effectuate detersion, facilitate the move1
f
ment of the eyeball, and preserve the
transparency of the so-called cornea."
I could only respond, "I dare say.
All you tell me is very wonderful and
very complex, but how on earth do the
little babies learn to cry so early and
so well?" I did not tell him that I
did not comprehend a word he had uttered,
and hence the wonder?omne
' '-n? If...1.
ignoium pro muyu/uju. ai uuu icdo uiu
I reveal what was passing in my mind.
It seemed to me that science is like a
pin?very useful for sticking things together,
and very nicely contrived for
this purpose; but one man spends his
whole life in coiling the head, another
in shaping the shaft, and another in
sharpening the point, while each understands
nothing but his own part of
the pin.
It next occurred to me to find put
what the poets say about tears. They
travel from earth to heaven very rapidly,
in a daring, desultory way, and always
through mists and clouds, seeing
things and parts of things very indistinctly,
and rarely telling the truth
about what they do see; yet notwithstanding,
they now and then seem to
find out some things of more or less
value which other people do not know.
As we do not at present keep a professor
of poetry at our university, I began
to rummage among my books.
The first lines that met my eye were
these:
"Teara, feeling's bright embodied form, are
not
More pure than dewdrope, nature's tears."
Here is a definition of tears that we
can accept without aversion?teara are
the bright, bodily form of feeling.
The poet does not tell us that when we
weep we are doing nothing more than
secreting a mucus fluid by means of
the lachrymal gland. He feels bound,
however, to state the fact that tears are
not more pure than dewdrops. The
whole truth would have been that they
are not as pure by a good deal. Perhaps
Mr. Bailey did not know tbat
they contain mucus, albumen and salt.
We wish we did not possess the uncomfortable
information. We shall
never again be able to kiss the tears
from her cheek with the relish that
once we did?Atlantic.
In some men the destructive propensity
is largely developed. They take
suDreme delight in undermining old
opinions and beliefs and institutions
without particular concern about the
consequences. They are not seekers
after truth, but champions of destruction.
On this line the recent Centennial
has brought out the denial of the
Christian life and Church relationship
of George Washington. One E. A.
Stevens, of the Chicago Secular Union
in an address delivered in that city on
Sunday evening, April 28, declared
that Washington was not a Christian.
IA writer in the New York Indepen\
dent claims to have good authority for
! saying that the first President was not
a communicant, and not a member of
j any Church. But Washington Irving
who never wrote carelessly, positively
affirms that both General and Mrs.
Washington were communicants in
the Protestan t Episcopal Church. The
fact of his having taken the communion
with the Presbyterians on a certain
occasion at Morristown, JN. J., and
having stated to the pastor of the
church that he was a member of another
denomination, as related in our
editorial two weeks ago, was never before
called in question. It is too late
to question it now. These facts correspond
faithfully with his public utterances
and personal character, and
are supported by ample testimony.

Greek Costumes. I hi/
The Greeks as a race were the mofi't
beautiful men and women that evti
trod this planet. And with reasoqj
for they attached great importance to
the harmonious and symmetrical development
of their bodies. No one
part was compressed, distorted, overburdened.
Their costumes were loose
and flowing, often elaborately and
beautifully embroidered, and of exquisite
color and texture.
A cast of "Antigone" as played in
Greek by the girl students of Swarthmore
College is given in a late numbei
of Harper's Bazar, and we wish every
woman could see it. There is not a
sign of a corset or a bustle or a tie-back
about the twenty-five girls that make
up this charming picture^ They look
as though they could fill their lungs tc
the full with perfect ease, could sing
and talk without fatigue, could lifl
their arms aa high as they can react
without the least impediment, and
could robe and disrobe with equal fa
cility. They look aa though thej
might have abdominal muscles. It if
said1 by female students of medicinc
i tnai tnese are oecommg ho acropmec
io women tbat they can with difficul
ty be found in the cadaver. The corset
has extinguished them.
Some of our readers may have seer
the presentation of this play at Swarth
more ; some of them may have seer
the play of "^dipus" given by th(
Harvard students - some years ago
Those graceful costumes, thoee flowing
lines, tbat beautiful drapery, tthal
we never dress as wisely as did the
Greeks, as do Borne of the oriental nations
of to-day? The diseases thai
make the lives of so many of our women
a burden were unknown to the
Greeks; they are unknown to the women
of Persia and 81am to-day. The;
have come in with the compressed
waist, the tightly-fitting high-heeled
shoe, and the heavy skirts, and while
these stay they will stay; when these
go they will go.
The revival of these Greek playj
will familiarize us with the coetumet
of the Greeks, and we hope pave the
way for a revival of these costumet
and their adaptation to our climate
and our modern civilization. In such
case doubtless dress would occupy as
much time and thought as it does now,
but it would not be at the expense ol
the harmony and symmetry of (he human
form diviue as it is now.
. A
How to be Graceful.
A school-girl misses a great deal ol
valuable education who hurries awaj
to school, morning and afternoon,
without having used her muscles in
helping her mother. She misses something
else, which, in a few years, sh<
will know how to value better than
she does now?grace of movement and
carriage.
What makes a girl graceful? It ie
using all her bodily powers. A student
who is nothing but a student soon
begins to stoop, and the habit, once begun,
grows inveterate and inourable.
Half our school girls cannot walk with
ease and grace.
We see this very plainly on commencement
days, when the members
of the graduating class are obliged to
walk a few steps before the audience.
Their dresses are often too costly and
splendid; their hair is beautifully arranged
; their pieces are creditably
written; one thing only they lack:
they cannot walk!
A girl who would have a graceful
I nnrriocrp a nminrl r1llW>sHrm. A fileftf
w""'Ovl ? ?o ? ?
complexion and fine teeth, must work
for them every day, and no work ifl
better for the purpose than the ordinary
work of a house done with diligence
and carefulness.
No Rest at Home.?No woman
can rest thoroughly in her own home
with her work ever before her eyes;
involuntarily she carries the details of
baking and brewing in her mind, and
in consequence is nearly as tired as if
she actually did the work. Let her go
away to rest even if to a place not as
comfortable as home, where she can
oof o /^nnoi> oVio HiH nnt. PYVit. fllppn in
a bed she did not make and forget her
weariness iu other people's cares and
pleasures. Thousands of bottles of
patent medicine are swallowed by
home-keeping women who had much
better have spent the same money in
car fare, in sight-seeing. To get away
from herself Is the main wish of the
nervous, tired-out woman. To see
how other people live suggests new
ways of doing things and makes one
contented with much that before seemed
irksome.
