Jtm- r ?T. The Press and Banner By HUGH WILSON. T Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1889. Uin House Burned. The gin house of Mr. John T. Pace, about two miles this side of Hodges, was burned last Thursday afternoon, together with about sixteeu bales of cotton. The origin o| the tire Js supposed to have been a spark from the engine. This is a serious loss to Mr. Pace, and it Is a matter of special regret that the best Eroceedsof the year's work should have thus een destroyed. He is a prosperous farmer, ana the loss by tins tin; will ?e ieir. oy nun. In connection with Hits we would remark upon the strange fatality that follows glti houses in which a large number of bales are stored. Nearly every gin house that is destroyed lias in it a large amount of cotton. Because of the risk incident to storing cotton in a i;in house we would suggest Ihe propriety of selling or removing the cotton at the earliest day possible. l>on't let any considerable amount of cotton stay in the gin house. The risk is too great. The liOss of a Kale. Thirty bales, packed In cotton bagging, means the loss of one bale of cotton to the planter, while it means a handsome profit to the cotton buyer, or cotton factor, who recovers It with jute. The whole proceeding does not hurt the jute trust, as they sell their bagging to the compress companies in large quantities, perhaps by the car load. We challenge the Alliance, or any other man, to successfully disprove any assertion herein made. And we ask the farmer, to decide who is his best friend, the man who advises him to submit to loss, or the man who would save him harmless. Abbevillians Preparing: lo Xove Homes in 1S90. Mrs. R. J.

When the fire was discovered it had made such headway that nothing could be saved. Abbeville hnd a distinguished vistor this week in the person of the Hon. A. E.

I Rome two or three weeks ago tlio loe;i) Al! liance clubs at I)ne West unci Donaldsvilie reI solved to make a bin sale at Donalds last. Thursday. Cotton buyers from neighboring markets were notified and invited to be present. At the appointed time eotton rolled into the town to a number variously estimated at from four hundred to live hundred bales. The owners were disappointed when they learned that but a Kindle cotton buyer from a distance had come to the sale. The Allixnce men demanded 1% cents. No buyer wanted itnt thnt ficure. Telegrams were sent and received. One firm wanted to know the lowest figure at which the lot could be bought.. They said 9% was the lowest. They wouldn't take 911-16 cents. No sale was made. It was then resolved to have an auction. The crier crlcd aloud for a bidder, but no bidder appeared on the scene, and we presume the crier and the sellers alike felt some degree of disgust. It was finally determined to break up, and to come back at an appointed day to sell. Some threw their cotton off their wagons while olhers carried theirs back home. The plan of taking hig lots of colton to town with the expectation of getting higher prices for it, Ims not worked well in many instances. Jn a few cases, however, men have given more for certain lots, as a sort of advertisement. but men are not often found ? ..iiiiin.. tn miw on ilpnr fnr ? little no tori<'ty. Our own Judgment is, that each farmer can do better for himself. When he Is not. governed or controlled by others, he can sell earlier or later, as he?t suits his convenience or Inclination, and lie is saved the great, trouble of making arrangements to suit the demands of others. A LITTLE FLUTTER. Severn! I'orsoiiK Indicted Tor Selling Whiskey Without License. About ii week ago a stranger came here as i railroad contractor, and made himself quite sociable with "the boys,'" spending some time with them on the corncrs and elsewhere. He came in very plain clothes, and seemed not at all particular as to his dress. Last Saturday morning the same man appeared on the street iu quite another garb, and so nicely dressed that "the hoys'' scarcely recognized him as the "railroad contractor," with whom they had been somewhat associated. In a little while Captain Riley, the chief of police, was seen going around, looking for "the boys," tor several of whom he had a ticket to attend a. matinee at the Intendant's office on Wednesday, October 2M, to answer to the charge of selling whiskey. We are not InfortAed as to the exact number against whom the "railroad contractor" had lodged complaints, but we believe ubout a dozen were reported to the mayor. The affair, 'or a yttle while, created quite a sensation, and was all the talk on the stieets. The number of drunken men that had been seen on our streets of of late, led the public to believe that somebody was violating the prohibitltory law, and the drunkcuness wus h subject of common remark, while not a few felt that the the law ought to be enforced. The bur keepers promptly closed their doors on the first of January, and the town council now owe it to this people, to see that the law is respected. AO i.auies hi luncrmii. I A new departure In the conduct of funerals in Philadelphia Is that of excluding from the burial all female relatives and friends of the deceased. It is now not unuasal to see luneral notices in that city worded as follows: ?>lale members of the family only are invito ed to attend the funeral. In New York most of the lunernls are attended only by male members cf the family of the deceased, and In European countries this scheme has for a longtime been in vogue. A well known Philadelphia uudertaker says: "Ladies should not be taken to the burial gronnd for more than one reason, either in good or bad weather. It subjects them to a great nervous strain to soe the body of some member of their Minor some relative lowered into the ground, aud time and time again I have seen ladles faint from this excitment. .Sometimes there is a hitch in the dropping of the col'ln, so that considerable difficulty is occasioned in getting it straightened out. Accidents of this nature are very prolific of nervous postration, and women should not be submitted to them. This city is Just awakening to the fact that a big funeral is a big folly. As a rule every large funeral is the cause of the death of at least one person who attended it. Delicate women are constantly Jeopardizing their lives by taking long ridps in carriages and then standing on the cold, damp ground while services are held over the grave. Few women attend funerals in England, becausc they are aware of what would be the result of such an I mpr udeu t act." ? ? i'iihiic School Tcnchcrs. FIRST GRADE. W. \V. Fisher, Jane A. Pressley.

Mr. stnnland said that at the last meeting of the legislature, together with Representative Morrison and others, he prepared a bill providing that those of the Berkeley comity officers who received fees for their services should pay t hem Into thecounty treasury,and receive in lieu thereof sta.ed salaries. Representative Harper, of W'ilHamburg, had introduced about the same time a similar measure for his county. Both bills, however, having been re-committ^d to the commit tee, did not come up during the session, and he now proposes to bring it up again at the meeeting of the general sssembly next month. Mr. Stanland says that according to his calculation the saving tot he tax-payereof Berkeley will be about S10,000, or nearly two mills ou the entire levy.

The Evangelical Association, perhaps better known as "Albright's People," was organized by Jacob Albright, a native of Pennsylvania. Having been converted, he abandoned Lutheranism and joined the Methodist Church. Of German descent, he felt i-i im'ii.w.Ii Mm rrnynul tri (lie nil UlliCU IV |7<va\ ?? W..V ? merous immigrants from the Fatherland. But Bishop Asbury disapproved of his course. Not the German, but the English language should be employed by our preachers, was the bishop's decision. This led to a rupture. In 1803, Albright and adherents oiganized themselves into a separate church. The work developed rapidly. In 1S07 the first annual, and in 1810 the first General Conference convened. Doctrinally, the Evangelical Association is Ariuinian ; with regard to sanctification, Wesley on; in church polity, etc., Methodistic. The bishops are elected iiuadrennially. The Episcopal term is confined to one quadrennium. Incumbents are sometimes reelected. sometimes not. The presiding elders are elected by the annual conferences. The bishops, assisted by the presiding elders, station the preachers. The growth of the Evangelical Association has been phenomhially rapid, j Of their twenty-six annual conferences one is in Canada and one in Germany. The published minutes show a membership of 143,703. Last year $113,183.45 were contributed for foreign missions. Their mission in Japan is prosperous.

A resolution was introduced in the Tennessee Conference memoralizing the General Conference to abolish the title of Doctor of Divinity, since it had ecome empty and vain by indiscriminate distribution.

A jury in New York State has awarded an only child a verdict of *4,000 against a Hudson River steamboat company, under the civil damage act, for the death of her father, a deck hand, who became intoxicated at the .steamboat bar, and fell off into the river and was drowned. The court has refused to set the verdict aside, and steamboats in this State are warned that they keep open bars at their peril. The verdict is a healthful sign of public sentiment.

He threatens all to time to leave Italy 011 ac count of the constant oH'cnses of the presence of a secular government he cannot control, lint he cannot tind any country that will invite him. Moreover, the Italian gouernment has decided that if the Pope ehoses to emigrate he can take his trunk and umbrella, but that he cannot carry oft' the libraries and treasures of art which belong to Italy. We will keep a lookout for a lone trav? ler with his big Saratoga! and cotton umbrella. No doubt he can tind hoard in any of our small towns and a <juiet retreat from his enemies. . 'i a* ? - "T^T?

Political Parties in England. The political parties of England are as follows: First, because it is in powl or, conies the Conservative or Tory i party ; its leader is Lord Salisbury. It believes as regards Great Britain and Ireland, that whatever is, is best; as to foreign affairs it for the present believes the satne, although not so long ago the party was war anywhere and everywhere. Then coines the Liberal party led by Gladstone, which disestab 119IJUU IIIC J.USJL1 V^JUUIUU, ttUU UUUUUC33 will disestablish the Enelish and Scotch churches; it believes that things might be better t.han they are. At present it is pledged to give Ireland home rule. Between these is the Liberal-Union party led by Lord Harlington ; it is composed of Liberals who I don't believe in home rule for Ireland. I At present it is firmly bound to the Tories, but after Ireland shall have got : homo rule its members may return to ! the Liberal fold. A fourth party is that led by Mr. Paruell, the Home Rule party, whose members, as a rule inclined to the Liberal party, are now united in trying to obtain justice for Ireland, without regard to the personality of the dispenser of that justice. To one accustomed to the conditions formerly noticeable upon the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio, on Sunday, the pres out outlook seems almost miraculous The saloons are closed, meat and pro vision stores shut up at 8 a.m., drug stores open for the sale of medicine on ly, and the theaters and concert-halls no more flaunt their defiance of law* in the eyes of respectable citizens.

The County Commissioners, by thelr^l&aSH clerk, have made a report ot the flnancial condition of the County, which re" *: -otH port is received as information. The attention of the grand jury has "' fV^ been called, again, to the abuse of the||?j|jM court rooms, by the holding of meet- % ings, such as Hot Suppers, Charades, vtyMm etc., in said court rooms.

The Committee appointed to exam-, ine the jail, report the same to be in -;$gg good condition, the prisoners comfortr able and well cared for. ,This committee beg to say, however, that it "has been reported to them by some parties that, during recess between the meet- I ing of the court, the Jail is not as weU kept as it should be. 1 A paper submitted by His Excellency, the Governor, to the Solieitor, and which contains charges of official misconduct on the part of Trial Justice Smith, of McCormick, has been examined, and the complaint dismissed', * upon the ground that the grand jury - , Vj believe it to be a malicious falsehood. # Tho nonainop f\t an ant hv f.hft fttnta Legislature, to allow the County Auditor of Abbeville to destroy all papers ' containing returns ofBeal and Person- ' $ al property, that are over five years standing, is recommended by the grand ' A'f The Committee to examine into the ' > J condition of the Poor House, report the same being in good condition, but a cook stove should be placed In the old church bnilding, for the use . of the cooks for the inmates.
