The Press and Banner By HUGH WILSON. Twelve Pages. Wednesday, October 2,1889. 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. At the Store of Messrs. P. Rosenberg Co. Mr. J. L. Perrln, who Is so well known to onr people, as a reliable salesman from whom It Is pleasant to buy, Is now with Messrs.

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. , IN THE HOLY BA7DS OF WEDLOCK. [ To Shine in Another Ht-nrt, and in !

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. < Oil MIUh.

Greenwood, Abbeville, Westmlnis- ' ter, Dqrllnetou, Marlon Bennettsville, Dillon, Florence, Rock Hill and Anderson.

' "" (' . ! ii'HCTrcvt .iro?iT-?m?aii lymmimiwii nninin 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.

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. New York Advovale.

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 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!

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.

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.
