The Press and Banner. | ABBEVILLE, S. C. [ rrrrr: | Wednesday, Nov. 20,1889. ScnthiiiK Robiikr. We copy an editorial from the Charleston World lu reply to an attack upon that paper >rom the National Democrat, and in so far the ll'or/d hurls back the scandalous charge which the metropolitan paper makes, we endorse every word that lias been so ably and so forcibly said. The World is an honest paper, and it deserves the respect of all men, and, as far as we know, the people do respect lilts editorials strike square out from the oni! if,? standards of morality ar note Inferior to the standards of any journal with which we are acquainted, but wo do not understand whut that paper means when it says that "every coxcomb in this State who "dignifies himself with the name of editor, "lias done nothing but abuse us for every de elded utterance we have made." The fact is, as far as we arc acquainted with the editorial brethren, we do not know of any newspapers in this Stato or elsewhere, which are edited by "coxcombs." A coxcomb is, we are told, "a vain pretender." A printing office is the last place in the world that we would go to look for such a person. Why neighbor, six months experience in editing thelsmallest paper in South Carolina would take every bit of the conceit . . out of even a typical "coxcomb." No "vain pretender" can edit a paper in South Carolina. Such an one would soon get the conceit so thoroughly knocked out of blm, that be wouldn't even know for whom to vote In a primary election. No, neighbor, that "coxcomb" business must have been a slip of the pen?an unguarded expression. As to the "abuse" that has been heaped up on the World. We think our friend Is mistaken again. We think the country press and the people generally are very friendly to the World. We are quite certain that the Press and Banner is so. We read the World with pleasure. It is a good paper. It talks of true, practical questions, which Interest the people of the State, and the fact Is, It deserves a wider circulation than It has In these parts. With proper effort, more subscribers could be had hereabout. Abbeville County subscribes for and reads many newspapers, and we are quite Bure, If the people were Invited to do so many of them would subscribe for the Charleston World. Let the World preserve the even tenor of Its ? *-* mi n Thfi main way, anu ?ouw mu uc?v-? ... thing to do Is, to make a good paper, and the people will take It. We can sympathise very sincerely and truly with our neighbor when It comcs to a question of opposition. The World may feel that It is not appreciated by the public, and such utterances as are made by the National Democrat, may give the editor a temporary fit of the blues, but merit will rise superior to opposition, and energy and worth will be honored when hate and malignity will hide their hearts for shame. Energy, honesty, and merit ' like the purling rill. When opposed is prouder still." We venture to suggest that the World, il V It pursues the even tenor of its way, on the high plane which It now moves, will have r ason to feel grateful to a generous public for the hearty support which that paper will receive, and even now we think that paper has been honored by the country press to a degree for which it does not give credit. ,m "The War is Over.*' A gentleman writing to us under recent ;; date says: "I think the war is over, and the smoko of battle clearing away. I consider Mr. Addison's letter the flag of truce." These are welcome words, and words which we knew would come sooner or later. We have an abiding faith in the people ol i Abbeville County, and wc love to have their good opinion, aud we labor to merit their approval of whatever we do. And it was because of our love for them, and our fidelity to what wo conceived to be their hetit interests, that induced us to publish the indisputable and undisputed facts, by which they might or might not be governed, as best pleased each individual reader. The sober second thought of tlie good peopeople of Abbeville county is always right, and we know that we have nothing to lose in their hands. Wo will trust our life and all we have with them. Wo have an abiding faith in them. "The war is over." The people now sec thai we meant to do them good and not harm, however much they may havo dissented from our views. "The war is over," and we arc glad of it. "The war is over," and old friends are hav' log tbelr names again enrolled on our books But the best of it all is is some of those whe were recently displeased, now express the j' kindest feeling. Not the least pleasant thing about the whole matter, is the evidences of steadfastness to principle, and fidelity which has been evidenced by many. It is notable, too, that a stranger?one whom we had never met?should be the first V i* i ? u i *u \ t ff| 10 maseun euori iu ueui iuc i??kih ?v shows the nobility of human nature, and that he Is nature's nobleman. We have been told that In another part ol the County, from whence the letter tame, that citizens are more demonstrative and self-assertive against any presumptuous interference with their civil rights. The minority are beginning to believe that they will not surrender all their rights?even their right to read a newspaper. s ? Cotton NbipmeiitN From Abbeville.

We have had another good week's business In Abbeville, and the business firms have a cheerful outlook before them. Trade has been kept up remarkably well, and the price of cotton stays up. Buyers are readily paying 9% In cash for good cotton, while merchants who receive cotton In payment of bills generally pay a fraction higher. A few loads of dry hay aro being brought to town, and readily bought at low figures, but which figures are about the truo worth of the forage. As far as has come to our knowledge no corn has been received from country wagons, In several weeks. We are glad to believe that our people are holding ou to their corn, and hope no man may sell a bushel of It. Nearly all the cotton seed is being sold, the price now being 181-2 cents. Mr. Thomas P. Quarles has bought a largo per cent, of the cotton. The Sew* ami Courier.

():i a -100-pound hale there should he -1 | pounds of bagging and ties. On a 4o0-potiiid halo there should ho U7 pounds of bagging and ties. On a "i00-pound bale there should he ;:o pounds of bagging and ties. If the planter would save himself from loss, or if he desires to know what he is losing, let him weigh his baggging and ties for every bale. With this information before him, it is not likely that any planter will pack more than ">00 pounds in any hale, for the simple reason that bagging and ties to equal the weight of the tare cannot be put on a bale of cotton which is heavier than 500 pounds. The safest and best plan is to make the hales 100 pounds. When the weight of the bagging and ties is less than above indicated, ttic planter wil have to make up the deficiency In lint cotton. The C'lemsoii College. Rome of the brethren of tho press have been giving hints, lectures, advice, or whatever else it may be called, to Governor Richardson, as to what he should do In reference to the Agricultural College hill which hej must soon veto or approve. We have no idea what the Governor will' do. and care very little what he does do in the matter. We tliink, however, that there is not now as much demand for the college as there once was. Ir he approves the bill, he will fasten about one or two dozen more tax An tho nonnlp Of course the Governor will do whatever he conceives to be his duty. He has no public favor to look to, and he can bo moved by no ideaof gaining or losing public favor. His second term of offlco is about expiring, and he will not expect a re-election. ? Newspaper Change. Our Greenwood correspondent informs us that tho Associate Rrformcd Presbyterian has been sold to Messrs. Galloway, Grler, and others, and that the paper will be taken back to Due West, and there issued from the old office. The Presbyterian is one of the institutions at Due West. It has been out visiting of late. It will now go home, where it has been published for nearly forty years, and where it lias grown to be a power in tho church. Messrs. J. B. Bonner and F. II. McMaster will continue to publish tbe Qreenwood Times, and will in the future, as In the past, make that paper a representative of the intelligence, enterprise and thrift of the town. ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT. Argument is met With Force?Major Stultns lias Something to Say. Ninety-Six, S. C., Nov. 14th, 18S9* Editor Press and Banner: Please allow me to *ay a few words to you and the readers of your paper, concerning c A ! ? urllh tho lilt; JT1U11JC1D 41.1I1UI1VC iu i?n ...... .... outside world. You seem to think it unjust in the Alliance, to prohibit its members from taking newspaper which disapprove of some of its proceedings. In this you are wrong. The Alliance is acting very properly and very justly. Let me Illustrate. You have a horse which has some grave defects. You wish to sell this horse to Mr. smith, who knows nothing of him. But Mr. Brown, who knows something of the horse, insists on making some of his imperfections known to Mr. Smith. Would you not make every ett'ort to silence Mr. Brown? Would you nol tell Mr. Smith, that Mr. Brown was misrepresenting your horse for purposes of his own? Would you not, If you possibly could, prevent Mr. Smith from having any conversation with Mr. Brown on the subject? Now this is exactly the case with the .Farmers Alliance. It wishes to sell its horse, that is its cotton bagging, to farmers, who know nothing, or at least very little about it. But there are some newspapers, the Press and Manner among the number, which insist on making known to the farmers, some of the imperfections of tills cotton bagging. Consequently it is to the interest of the heads of the Alliance to silence these newspapers, and it is perfectly right and proper for them to do so. If it were not Injurious to farmers to pay more for cotton bagging than they would luive to pay for a much better bagging, if it were not injurious to farmers to hold their cotton until the price goes down a cent, or more, on the pound, then of course, the Alliance would not be compelled to resort to any sueli measures as silencing newspapers nol m sympathy with it, but would be able to meet argument with argument. Butallthls is injurious to the farmers, and the Alliance is tnerefore obliged t" meet reason with force. And Mr. Kditor neither you nor any body else need sutler from this in the least. All you have to do is to cease workingngainst the Alliance openly. You are perfectly at liberty to do all you can against it in secret, and in this way you can probably injure it far month an in any other. It. docs not object to secret, for its policy is "to leaye the serpent his deadly sting, and deprive him only of his warning rattle." Now, Mr. Kdltor you have one very trre:it fault, you arc two great a sticker on principle. When a measure comes f before the people, which is very popular, but which you believe to be unjust, and detru. mental to thtir interests, you oppose it. ' Now it is all very well to stick to principle, so long as it concides with popularity, but when principle and popularity are opposed, take the advise of a true friend. Stick to the ' popularity and drop the principle every 1 time. Hoping that I have convinced you of your error, and that you will soon change your . ways, I am your true friend, MAJOR STULTUS. .

Mr. Drayton T. Kinard died at his residence ' In Edgefield County, on last Thursday morning, aged Bixty-flve years. Mr. Kinard was one of the best men in our community. He r certainly led a blameless life, and was one ol the main stays of his church, always ready In any good work or enterprise, that was I for the best interests of his fellow-man or . country.

Colonel Waillngford has arrived, and is holding daily levees with his many friends and acquaintances iu and around NinetySix. The attendance at the fair from tho town and vicinity of Ninety-Six was good. These , good parsimonious folks who thought it a sin to go to our, little fair, did not hesitate to patronize the great State Fair. They thought in the great bubbub and crowd they would , not be seen or noticed. So it will be in the Great Day of reckoning. When the Lord ' rewards the good and the honest, they again will not be noticed. Mr. Duckett thinks of moving over on Molly Haw, in Newberry County. Mr. William Hell'erman, one of the many coming young men of Cow tirove, was married on last Wednesday, to Miss Li I lie Rhodes, sister of Mrs. G. A. Cromer and Mr. W. T. Huff.

IJut the Southron to whom he bel t ii kindness never forgot his deed and since tin war lias persistently endeavored to iliscovi. his generous foe for the purpose of ex press! iij his gratitude, in which ho has finally beet successful. Tills gentleman was Mr. W. M Grler. a member of the Sixth South Carolli.i Volunteers, now Rev. W. M. Grier, a ministe of the U. P. Church, and president of Erskin collece, at Due West., S. C., one of the mo? flourishing educational Institutions in th State. MaJorSirnonton expects to leave fo the South in a week or two and will be I'roi Uricr's guest, and the mutter is thus glvci fresh Interest. The circumstances cf the al fair are as follows: After the battle of Williamsburg, Virginia fought on May 5th, 18ii'2. between detachment of McClellan's and Johnston's armies, th Confederates were forced to fall back, am abandoned many of their wounded, who ha< been gathered up. the majority of them hav ing been removed to a farm house just In th rear of the battle-fields. The Sixth Carol In was in the tight and Prof. Grler was atnon the wounded, being shot in the leg below th right knee, so as to necessitate prompt am pi: tatlon, and was carried to the rural Itnprovis ed hospital. In an article In the Charlcstor (S. C.) News of August 2!, 1SS2, deserlbin scenes and incidents of the battle, written h i'rot. Grier on request, a copy 01 wincn ne sen Major Simonton, he snld: "When we awoke fully to consciousness on eyes opened upon a pitiable sight. It wji about midnight.

"The truth which, strange as it may seen we had never suspected began lo dawn oil u that our army had gone and left us to the car of the advancing enemy. A solitary cavalr* man straggling in, the very la*tof our armi was eagerly questioned and fully continue our rising fears. The mental experience < the next few hours, though still a living an vivid memory, can never be translated inl human speech. A sense of loneliness, mini tered to by surrounding darkness. a feeling i utter helplessness, coupled with apprehei sions of cruelty and ill-treatment, crowile with evil spectres the warm imagination of youth not yet out of hlB teens. The pain i the amputated limb was forgotten in dee anxiety and forebodings. Hence it was wit something of a welcome that we heard tl steady tramp of McClellan's splendid army i It approached early in the day. It was a ri lief to an agonizing suspense, a relief whic took on a positive character of real pleasui when the dreaded eneiny riot only express? his sympathy for us, but gave the must sul stnntlal evidences of his good will.

But such a mistake was ver easily made in such o hut tied scene.

This body met In the city of Spnrtanburjr in the 2">th of October. The work of the .'hureh i? chiefly done by the Presbyteries, Mil tho Theological Seminary at Col am bill Is under the control of the SynocJ, in connection with three other.Synods. It is in reference to this institution tiint there has been In Ihe pa*t live or six years serious division and tome very enrncst discission. Soon after the assembling of the Synod it lieciitne apparent that. there were two parties. This is brought ont. very fully In the election of tl*e Moderator, and the strength of the parlies I* thereby clearly shown. The Moderatorsiiip was secured by the Woodrow party, though with a very small majority. It. was very soon manifested that n very largo nilmtier o( both parties were averse to discussion, and when any one attempted to speak about the matters at issue, lie was soon nailed to order, and nearly all the motions made looking t.o tlt -l end were laid on the table. So pronounced was the aversion to any mscussion, inai nmny voicii 10 jay on me table a report on the Assembly's minutes which affirmed the right of any one to criticise a Judicial decision of a higher court, yet that Is a doctrine which no Presbyterian could object to when fairly stated. Them was some discussion about tho confirmation of Dr. Beatle. the successor of Dr. Wood row In tho Seminary. Sonic thought the professorship was not vacant legally, und on that ground were opposed to elect!im a succcssor. Others thought that :ts Dr. 1'entie had been a citizen of Canada, Ins election would be a violation of the alien contract law. An Episcopal church In New York city had been compelled to pay $1,000 for railing a minister from England; a Presbyterian church in Erie, Pa., had to pay a similar tine for calling a man from Canada. Ac cording to thedccision of the courts. Dr. Beal.ie's case is clearly a violation of the statute, mil while we have hut little respect lor the law we did not choso to violate It. When the vole was taken, members who wished were excused from voting, and the vote stood 40 to confirm and 27 or 2S against confirming, and [(Ultcalargc number asked to be excused from voting. The clerk did not say how many, but there certainly must havo been 30 or -to. which was surely not much of a confirmation Another matter about which tho two parlies were arrayed against, each other was the i!lection of two Directors of tho Seminary. The vote was very close, being f>7 to54, but the Woodrow party got the Directors. Conferences were held on the subjects of Domestic .Missions. Foreign Missions and Systematic Beneficence, at which interesting addresses were made. For some reasons the conference on Beneflcenco awakened more than usual interest. There was In it some discussion about the tithe to which the attention of the church has been recently called. The first speaker was Mr. J. Spratt' White, whose address was carefully prepared and well delivered. It contained a masterly presentation of the obligations of Christian people to give to benevolent purposes. Ho said very little about the tithe. He was followed by Mr. Blackburn in an earnest speech In favor of t lie the tentth us the rule to bo enforced under the Christian dispensation. Towards tbe close of his address several members showed their interestln the matter by plying the speaker with questions. These brought out the fact that In some instances, the gross income was to be tithed, in others the net income; then an inheritance was not to be tithed, and then free-will offerings were to be given in addition to the tenth. So after all. it seemed to us, as he explained It, the rule was a very variable one, and was to be determined by a man's own will and would be of little account- Yet there Is this to be said In f..vr>r nf Mr Hlnekborn's scheme, that his church, which claims to be governed by the tithe system is tho most liberal church In the whole State. With a membership of about sfxty, and many of them clerks and mechanics, and only three who can be called wealthy, yet that church gives S3,000 a year to benevolent objects. This subject of giving Is one of paramount Importance to Christiac people of nil denominations. It needs a fuller ventillation thun it has yet hail. Sotno church members seem to t>e governed by no other rule than to give as lit tic as possible. I'Vw realize that God can be worshipped by property as well as prayers, and tewer still regard (heir giving as the means by which God gives to them. "Give, and it shall be given to you." I)r. Jacobs presented a memorial In reference to Clinton Col lego which had been In operation for six years asking the goodwill of Synod its behalf. But another proposal was brought forward for a great omnibus university supported by several of the South Atlanicsynods. Some of the members regarded Dr. Jacob's collige as antagonizing this scheme, and from the drift of the dlseusslou that sprahg up he thought proper to ask the withdrawal of his memorial. We think the Synod made a mistake in not heartily adopting Dr. Jacob's memorial. It was a carefully pro pared paper and did not ask for any more than should have been cheerfully conceded. Education among Presbyterians has in the prist been carried on chiefly by smuii conches which create much of their own patronage. And wo submit that sneers at "Los Colleges" come with a very ill grace from the lips of n Presbyterian minister. The scheme of a big university is as wild and visionary a thing as was ever brought before a deliberative body, and we were surprised that it received any favor ata.ll by theSynod. Thenarative presented a detailed account of the state of religion and contained many things encouraging. There had been some precious seasons of revival in some of the churches and more than a thousand members added to the church within the past ecclesiastical year. There was some good preaching as Is usual on such occasions. The sermon by Dr.Smith, recently called to the.flrst church In Columbia, was a notably oseelllent one, and will long be remembered by the very large audience who listened to it on Sabbath night. The meeting of Synod was a most delightful one. The hospitality of the citizens of Spartaburs superabundant, and all the services, wee^-day and Sabbath, were specially enjoyable. The arrangements, by the pastor of the church and ills assistants, to entertain (he member* were perfect, and all must have felt it was good to be thero. The next meeting is to be held at Yorkville, beginning on Tuesday evening bcofro the fourth Sabbath ol October, 1SU0. J. 0. L.
