PP ' r ''v'* -c The Press and Banner I By HUGH WILSON. L Twelve Images. Wednesday, Dec. 4, 1889. The times demand that we do something? anything?to help the negro and make a better citizen of hliu.?Sumter Advance. With permission of our respected contemporary, we would suggest that wo let the negro alone. He Is doing very well,and the probability is, that lie will take care of himself. He has been doing so In a manner satisfactory to himself. Our own opinion is, that It is much more important for us to "do something? anything?to help" ourselves. We are paying out of the State Treasury about a qnarter of a million dollars to educate their chil area, ana we mum umnasimiv-Hmist""- ? good deal more than we are under any obligation to pay. We owe our first duty to ourselves. If we learn to prosper and to make our own race comfortable, we have done enough. The negro doesn't want our Interference in his affairs, and It would be a poor negro in deed that desired more of us than to be let alone. Time alone will solve the race problem, anc It behooves us to be solving our own individ ual problems. If we as Individuals, lay by a sufficiency of this world's goods, we need have no fears of the country or the race question. Any country is good for the man who has plenty of money. Therefore get money. Bale* or Cottou Shipped. 1889. IKS!). September 321 "7f> October 2,242 2.809 November 2,222 3,621 4,788 0,C0.r?

Columbia Jteyixtcr. Mr. Kieken's substitute for the marriage license bills, previously on the calendar. whs taken up, and Mr. lirnwlcy moved to strike out t he enacting words of the bill. Mr. Klcken brlelly explained the purport of the substitute, claiming tliat the objectionable features of I he other bills had been removed. whilst the provisons guarding the sanctity of the marriage relations had been maintained. In thirty or more States a marriage license law was in operation, and there was a strong public sentiment all over the State calling for the passage of such a law. Since he had been identified with the question he had received numerous letters a.id petitions endorsing It from clergymen and others. Mr. McCrady regretted to oppose the bill of his friend from Charleston, but felt compel led to do so. Why disturb the marriage relation at all? The state was proud of its record on ihcsublcclo! divorce, but pass such a bill as this anil it would open tin; door perhaps to the passage of a divorce law. General Mcdrady asked what would tie done with the colored people if the law was passed ? It would be a serious question indeed. Mr. Stepp favored the hill, and gave instances showing the absolute necessity of some record of marriage. In one case a'lady entitled to a pension could not receive it hecause. through the lapse of lime and the death or removal of witnesses, her marriage could not lie proven. He regarded the bill as a step in the right direction, one that would elevate the negro to a higher moral plane. Mr. Stepp spoke strongly, though briefly, uud made a decidedly good impression. Mr. lionet opposed the bill, eulogizing the State for its grand record on the divorce question. She was not only the only State in the American Union,but }heonly commonwealth of the world with such a record. Mr. Benet showed that the simplicity ot marriage in South Carolina was the best safeguard of women. Surround it with all of these requirements and it would be as difficult, to prove a marriage here as it would be in France. He compared our mnrrlage law with lh?t of Scotland, and contrasted It with that of England, where tlio law protected the man and not the woman. Mr. Guess moved the indefinite postponement of the whole matter, but withdrew it to give Mr. Ficken the floor. Mr. Ficken agreed with Ills friend from Abbeville that this was no light matter, but thought that gentleman's remarks were not pertlneut to the issue. The House was not considering the question of divorce, although it might be gcrmaln to the subject. Tills bill sought to make the marriage tie a stronger one, and so far from attacking the sanctity of the marriage relation it would add to that sanctity. It would place upon record, to remain there for all time to come, the solemn fact that the marriage relation had been entered into between certain parties. General McKissick brought down the house by a humorous reterence to his friend from Abbeville, saying that if he had been born l.iKX) years ago, he would have been able to convince JuUas that he had done no wrong in betraying his Saviour. General McKlssick further said that he had been for years Clerk of Courtin hlscounty.and had been frequent1 * ? Iswl frx JnfnvmnHnM ifhi/.h ho hllfl IIO 1J ?vi ...i.w.v,.. --- ? ineuns of giving in regard to marriages. The General brought out another general laugh by his humorous allusions to "'puppy love," and the means of preventing too early and too hasty marriages. Mr. Udens spoke briefly in favor of the bill, claiming that in the border counties of the State, where the advantages and disadvantages of a license law were fully understood, the sentiment of the people was strongly in favor of It, and parents and guardians were urgent for its passage. Mr. Ficken attain alluded to the irood points of the bill, and spoke earnestly and forcibly in advocacy of Its passage. Mr. Graydon opposed the bill, making a stront! legal argument j'gainst It.and urging the House to let well enough alone. Mr. McCaw briefly opposed the hill, and at the close of his remarks a vote was taken on the question to indefinitely postpone the bill. Ayes 12; nays 5'J. So the Ilouse refused to indefinitely postpone. Mr. O'JJricn wanted time to study the bill, and hoped the debate would bo adjourned, but if it could not be, he would say that he hoped that the House would be careful not to unsettle the wisdom of ages. Some of the wisest heads iu the House opposed the bill, and he hoped that the members would agree I to his motion to adjourn debate until to-mor| row. j Mr. Ftcken thought that the time of the sesision was too short and other business too pressing to atlmltol further delay and wanted the matter disposed of at once. The vole being taken, the House rciused toadjouru the debate. General Mct'rndy again called attention to the detective features of the bill, and Mr. Urawley said that he had offered the motion to strikeout the enaeti tig words of the bill, not from any particuliu* hostility to it, but from a desire to hear argument upon the merits of the question. At the last session tlio other hills on the subject had been unfavorably reported upou, but this btl; seemed to be free from sonic of the objectionable featuresof the other one, and when it. came before the House supported us it was by his lenrned and distinguished friend and colleague, Mr. Flek I en. and by the gentleman from Greenville (Mr. stepp) and by others Irom the Eastern section of the State, he was prepared to believe that there really was some popular de maud tor some such measure, hut at the same | time, unless some stronger reasons existed for I Its passage than those that had been heard, he was opposed to unsettling In this way the law | and the custom of ages. There might be. in j cteetl lie ttiougnt inni mere was, si,runs ground for a law^jrovidlng for a registration of marriages and births, but lie could not. see the necessity for a licence law. Mr. Seegers favored the bill. Stress had been laid upon the fact thatwc had no divorce law, yet as a matter of fact it was a no ditllcult matter to procure divorces; people had only to step over the line and get a divorco in Georgia. He believed that there should be a propel record kept of every marriage in the State. Mr. King called attention to the fact thatnlthouuli the bill on Its face called for a license lee of only lifty cunts, in reality the expense to those living ai :> distance Iron) the county seats would be much greater. The yeas and nays were demanded and the motion to strike out the enacting words was lost by the following vote: yeas 40, nays 59. Statistical Itcjiort.

I), Olialmers, Kstj.. about li o'clock Monday morning. December "J, 1SS5I, it: the 22nd year of her ase. Kor several days it was known on the streets that she was sick, hill, no one thought that she was in any danger, until a few days ago, when all hearts were shocked at the sad intelligence that she could not live. "And thus It was that the beautiful and dearly beloved bride, with a heart as pure as the orange blossoms that clasped her brow, was stricken down, and borne from the aisles of the temple to the garden of the slumherers." llow mysterious often limes are the dispensations of lhat Providencc which is over us all. Only a few months ago this lovely young woman became the happy bride of our fellow-townsman, Mr. Thomas A. White. Never, perhaps, did any one enter upon a life-journey witli brighter prospects than did she. Possessing naturally a cheerful and hopeful disposition, together with those elements of character which constitute the beauty and glory of true womanhood, sho had entered the race to shed the fragrance of a beautiful life upon Home and society. J'esides possessing the wealth of the highest conlidence aim best affections which were | lavished upon lier by those of her own home, slie hud by her winning manners, endeared herself to a host of friends who to-day mourn her departure. THE FCXERATj service. When the church b -11 rang at half-past ten o'clock nil the business houses of the town were closed, and a great multitude of sympathizing friends occupied seats in the Methodist church to pay a tribute of aUectlon to her who had so lately gone out from amongst us. At 11 o'clock, the beautiful casket, upon which was placed choice flowers most tastelully arranged, was borne iuto the Methodist church by Messrs. W. D. Wilson, It. L. Mabry, L)r. Game, George 1'enny, J. A. Harris and J. L. l'errln, who acted as pall-beaters. The choir sang in a vety sweet and pathclic manner: "C'onie unto me all ye that-labor and are heavy laden and I wiligive you rest." Mr. Beaty, the officiating minister, announced the hymn: "When blooming youth is snatched away." Then followed the Scripture lessons from Psaiui xc, "Lord thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations," Ac., and I Cor. xv, "Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept," &c. Alter leading the congregation in prayer, Mr. Meaty, gave a short sketch of the life of the deceased. He then called the congregation to consider for a short while "The ministry of altilction," in which were pointed out some of the profitable lessons taught us at the bed-side of the dying. Amougother things, he said: One lesson learned is our weakness and helplessness. Who that has ministered to the suflerlng through hours of anxious watching, as the time-piece marked the passing moments, but has yearned lor a remedy that would give relief? Who that has watched the tide of life as It gently ebbed away, that has not longed for power to arrest its departure? Remedy after remedy is tried, until the whole Block of remedies Is exhausted. Oh I what a sense of helplessness sweeps down upon the soul as the skilful physician and faithful nurse tell us no more can be done?that death must ensue. We then stand face to face with that strange and mysterious power we call death, and helplessly await results. We cling with all the tenacity of our fondest love to those whose last good bye must soon be heard?we imprint the farewell kiss upon their brow . and turn aside iu all the desolation of helplessness, to pray for the srracc of submission. ' We would snatch them from the grasp of the destroyer ami carry them beyond the reach of 1 his power, but our strength Is insufficient. Who shall say that this Is not a protitable lesson? That man, revelling In the pride of his Intellectual and physical strength, should not be brought, occasionally, to an humble 1 recognition of the limits to .ill his greatness? Another lesson : The hlgln-j-r. typo of uu- j selfish love is developed nt i lie bedside of the dying. Whether our love his been intensified, or whether It Is that a pre-existing love has been brought under stronger light, I shall 1 not attempt to say. It may be that we are so constituted, that we do uot set the proper val- 1 ue upon any blessing which wo can call our own?that only when It eludes our grasp do we properly estimate Its value. , Explain It as we may yet the fact remains the same: We do love the departing with a 1 peculiar affection that is given only to them. 1 Whatever ot selfishness there may be in us in other moments, a better and more generous self rules now, and we behold the most sul>- ' lime exhibition of unselfish love. The plea is often made, that affection Is , more needed during the time when active life is combatting the evils and trials of this everyday pilgrimage?that the place to scatter flowers Is upon the pathway of life, rather 'I'hlo k LiUIIUI|)UU . nil true, hut taking u view from the stand- I point which Is occupied to-day, wo are war- 1 ranted in saying, that If ever an hour comes . in the life of any. when sympathy and love arc needed more than at other times, it Is 1 when the last lingering look is being had up- ' on the familiar scenes of childhood and , home, and the trembling spirit turns away 10 face the strange and untried spirit-lnnd into which it must go alone. It yearns, we believe, for thill sympathy and love in which It 1 has so often before southland found shelter. , And it is not denied tills support; for then we ' lavish upon it, as never before, the wealth of , our highest and best ali'ectlons. Again, we liave a striking object-lesson of the weakness of our hold upon this temporal life und the things which belong to It. "Here ' have we no continuing city, but wc seek one to come." "The days of our years are t hree- ' score years and ten; and if by reason of : strength they be fourscore years, yet is there strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut oil", and we fly away." How true are the words: ( "Life Is a span, a fleeting hour, Mow soon the vapor flies! ** Man is a transient tender (lower, That e'en in blooming dies." ( "With this lesson before us to-day,should not ! the prayer of our hearts be: "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom ?" Let us therefore, not lay up treasure upon earth "where moth and rust corrupt and where thieves break through and steal, but in heaven, where neither moth 1 nor rust (loin corrupt, nnu wncre iqicvcs uu not break through nor steal." i And in our sorrowing, let us tliank God, I that we sorrow not as those without hope; but anticipate a blissful und happy reunion on the golden shore. ; At the conclusion of the religious services | the deceased was buried in the family plat at , Upper J.ong Cane cemetery, where so many ; of tier friends and relatives sleep their last i sleep. Peace to her ushes, and love for her , memory.

Mr. llallyhurton luis commenced grading on the <J., it N. railroad, between here and looking after work on various purls of the lino. Willie Mr. SI Ins J on ok was returning home Inst Wednesday evening, his te.itn became frightened and ran a way throwing him out., the wheels of the wagon passing over his head, he was picked upafter dark in a semiconscious condition and carried to the house of Mr. \V. H. Whitlock. where his injuries wore treated by Dr. Mood. At last accounts lie was doing very well. Our friend W. G. Calhoun is fully three lnebes'taller since he married, ho has donned u beaver. Our Thanksgiving rooster went tolerable well with pepper sauce, except thai his period of Incubation took place too early in life. A cemetery Is a lonely place to visit under all circumstances, but the handiwork "f Messrs. Leavoll & Gage has made ours as attractive as it is possible for such places to be, by nutting therein some very tine headstones and monuments, which for artistic design, excellence oi workmanship and symmetrical proportions vie with those In large cities. Mr. \V. L. Durst is putting up a shed in connection with a wagon yard. It is very complimentary to the intellectual ability of Abbeville C. H., that no candidate in the County was so formidable as to prevent them getting four out of our six representatives. If the engineers on the night trains, which are passing at all bourn would use their whistles less It would be a great comfort to many of our citizens, especially the sick, the aged and the nervous. We agree with the Greenville News, that Munchausen is not dead. The Darou himself may have given up the ghost at the time and place mentioned, but he left the world a goodly Inheritance of Iiaronets, one of whom we came In contact with the other day, he sold us a half dozen absolutely fresh eggs. So much the reverse were they that our family came very near leavi.ig home,. while our neighbors seemed to think that the Fertil izer Company were storlug their essences on our premises.

Owing to some misunderstanding the stores with two or three exceptions, did not close on Thanksgiving Day. and there was no services at any of our churches, our ministers all being either sick or absent. The remoyal of of the Associate Rr/ornicd Picabylerian back to Due W'eat will be a serious loss to Greenwood, yet knowing that those old fathers in Israel prize it as they do one of their children, we submit, as we must, willingly to their desires. Whether It be published in Due West or Greenwood, it Is one ot the best religious papers extant. We hope however that a nucleus has already been formed here, from which a church of that denomination will soon be organized, a.s from our earliest knowledge of this branch of the church we have loved them. It Is somewhat remarkable since the farmers throughout the Stale have been somewhat clamorous for that representation which justly belongs to them, that out of the six members of the Abbeville delegation only one of them we suppose ever ploughed or superintended the ploughing of n single furrow. We merely mention this as a fact and notasiiti annunent to |>rovc that knowing how to plough is u necessary qualification to n sent In that honorable body. Mr. J. F. Walton, of Newberry, was in the city last week. He expresses liltnsc!f as delighted with his new home. Wc are Informed that another Life Insurance Agency is soon to be established here, fne more the merrier. Life Insurance is a uood tiling and especially convenient for the second husband. The Him ms family undertook to give a musical entertainment in College Hull last Tliursduy night. They had a good house but from our (information the play was a farce. 1 Mr. Sam Sherrard, of .Ninety-Six, spent rhauksgiviDK Day in the city. The mail train trom Spartanburg to Augusta was several hours late Sunday eveuing. The peoplo of Greenwood generally admire Mr. William's style of writing, consequently Ills paper, the Greenville iVcwa Is fast trowing in popularity. .Miss Moliie Marse treated her lriends to a birthday /supper and party last Wednesday avening, In which most of the young people if town participated. The man with the patent lire extinguisher has been in town, aud as Is usual did a driving business. We venture to assert that there Is more money loeked up in patents in lhis than any other town in tiie State. Mr. C.

The following question having been submilted to a college Professor, he replies as lolowsin the Albany Journal: Dear Professor: Arc not Ingersoll's arguments unanswerable?

If I understand the gentleman from Peoria, he wishes to liberate youth from the incubus and thraldom of superstition. 1'iiat devastating inilueiice of the country siergyman's on $500 per annum and a donaLion is what worries Robert, and lie proposes Lo cure it and eradicate it for the trilling pitlance of j-50 per lecture.
