Hrhe Press and Banner.! W ABBEVILLE. S. C. Published every Wednesday at -SJ n year 111 advance. Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1390. j A Wsircl sis '?? Our S'osilsuts. Correspondents mt-1 others who wish to have their writings published in this newspaper, nrc re?iuesti d 10 not .make relied ions of a personal character. TIip advocacy of prohibitii>11 is tjiiilvanother thing trom persona ti;ies. While the editor of this newspaper i< in lavol ol' prohibition, ami will always do anything 111 his power to promote the cause of temperance, yet he is tolerant toward those who may dilfer in opinion as to the expediency of prohibitory laws. We rccogiii/.c the fact that some of our i.e*t citizens are not opposed to the licensing of the sale of whisky. As a matter of fact, the editor of tin; J'itx? unit Manner, while lioMinjr last. to his own opinions, docs not expect to disturb his friendly relations Willi anybody oil tills subject, r.or does he expect this newspaper 10 be the vehicle for the throwing of mud at any one. Let the temperance advocates advance the Interestsof their cause by appealing to the people's sense of right, and all will be well?the right will prevail. 'J i.ere is no necessity for liaitl feelings, anil there ex Ms no grounds for a disturbance oi the public mind, further than to present fair nnd just argument. Does the Kail way Injure the I.ami i Through Wliie!* it Ktius? If anybody has any doubt. on the subject. !f i liiin go to the track of the {?., C. A X. road in rear of Judge Cot (iron's home. A deep cut is in the lower side of the hill. The caretullv made terraces are cut, and will have to bo rearranged, or else all the soil will slip down .the hill and into the cut. The richest and best pai t of the land is taken for tiie road bed. The hill is steep and the sides of the cut will wear so as to be a constant source of expense, i or until the hillside is abandoned for aitricultural purposes. In fact such serious injury has been sustained, that it looks like the road OUglll U> pjly. nil HOll^U IIIUUUUKV fi i I ? >111 right ol way. The idea of giving ttio right oi way may liavo u very iunoccnt appearance, but. tiie laceration, aud ibe tearing upol one's best land is a serious matter. The dividing oi the farm by au impassable gull' is 110 .sligiil i neon veil ience. The excavation of a deep ravine or pathway mars the symmetry 01 the ; landscape, and injures the beauty of Hit sweet fields of living green. , ? e Howes ami .Mules. Last Saturday Mr. A. B.

He had that chastening thai comes to those whom the Lord lovctli and belonged to those that "come out of great tribulation." He had no fear of death, but expressed himself a few hours before his docease as being resigned and fully prepared While passing from one room to another, the action of his heart suddenly ceased, his vision failed and beginning to fall, he was caught by loving hands and borne ton bt-d when it was found that his spirit had tied. Such a death, so sudden and painless, was a mercy ; and in such a life there is nothing to mourn but much to be thankful for and to rejoice in.

The preparations and > training for expertness in human butchery tliut the man of God, if he be such, and have any conscience, ^3 must feel sadly out of place, amid the J din of the camp and the strains of ' ,fi martial music, so different from the song of the angels at the birth of Him : who canic not to destroy men's lives, ? but to save them, and so very different from the soft, sweet music of tne redeemed in Heaven. When he looks upon the deep-mouthed cannon and the glittering bayonet, and remembers '% the purpose for which they are made* * and then remembers the words of Je- 'J&i 9us, "But I say unto you that ye resist not evil; but if a man smite thee oil / ? one cheek, turn to him the other also." When in his morning devotion he prays "deliver us from evil." bow his t'uit'll must falter when be remembers ~ that he has voluntari.y put himself la the way of evil. When he prays * J&l "Thy kingdom come," he sees very . much more evidence of the reign of Satan than of God. When he prays "Thy will be done on earth, even as it is done in heaven," he sees much more . i evidence around him that the will of Satan is being done on earth than the will of the Lord. When he prays "forgive us our trespasses, even as we j's forgive those who trespass against us," " / he knows that he is asking God to take ,: vengeance on him and those with 'AM whom he is associated, for that is what ; he and they are trying to do to those whom they call their enemies. When an engagement is pending, and he prays, the "Lord, to direct their missiles to the hearts and heads of their enemies, he knows that he is praying % to a God who hus said "thou shalt not kill," and in the name of a Saviour who has said, "love your enemies." A If he prays, "Lord, be merciful to those with whom J am associated, but help us to inflict swift aud speedy veil- i ^ geance on those who are arrayed 'b?j| against us," and then remembers that Jesus has taught, "Blessed are the^^H merciful, for they shall obtain mercvJ^H^H and remembers aiso that the copy of which is in his hantL^^^^^^^f his pocket, teaches that thade of one blood all me it may awah^HH^^^H^H his whether prayer or may the truth faith pPSe army with whichJ^^^^^PRed should send out 1 foJMP^Pffty, and he snould be cak^Rpon to pray for their success, imuthen remembers that the God to whom he is praying has said, " Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor's," it places him in an exceedingly embarrassing position. If his military commander sends out a squad of men to cut off the enemy's supply of food and water, and he is called upon to pray for their success, iiow can he do so in the face of God's positive command, "If thy enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, jrive him drink." Poor man ; how pitia- " ble is his iot. If a soldier has conscientious couvictions about obeying the orders of h<s officers which require him to kill ^ aud rob his fellow-men for whom Christ died, and comes to the chaplain for advice as to what lie must do uuder the circumstances, the chaplain dare not read from the Bible the advice which John the Baptist gave the soldiers who came to him : "Do yiolenc to no man," for that would be teaching them insubordination to their military officers, and render them * perfectly worthless as soldiers. If he is called upon to administer spiritual comfort to sick, or wounded, or dying soldier, although the soldier at the time of liis enlistment and subsequently may have been taught to believe that to die for his country was a sure passport to heaven, the chaplain has to dissipate all sucli ideas from his mind, and teach him that salvation is not of work9, but is God's free gijt to man through "repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Take it altogether, we think if there is any one in heathen or Christian countries who needs the sympathy and prayers of God's children, it is the war chaplain. He is professing allegiance to two authorities so wide apart in their spirit and methods, that he cannot possibly obey one without disobeying the other. He is trying to serve two masters, and what pleases one, displeases the other. The Lord grant that his eyes may be opened to see the truth as it is in Jesus. ,)fessej)f/er oj 'Peace. Historj of Church-Pews. * A writer in Sunday Afternoon traces the history of these luxuries, which are so entirely a matter of course tnac we never iiiiiik ui uiussmg them amoug modern improvements: "In the early days of Anglo-Saxon and some the Norman churches, a .stone bench running round the interior of the church, except the east side, was the only sitting accommodation for the visitor, in 1329 the people ate represented as sitting on the ground or standing. A little later the people introduced low three-legged stools promiscuously over the church. Soon after the Norman Conquest wooden peats were introduced. In 1387 a decree was issued in regard to the wrangling for seats so common that none should call any seat his own, except noblemen or patrons, each entering and holding the one lie lirst fouud. From 1530 to lo40 seats were more apnronriated. In 1G08 galleries were in troiluced, and as early as 1G14 pews were arranged to afford comfort by being bri/.ed or cushioned, while the sides around were so high as to hide the occupants?a device of the Puritans to avoid being seen by the officers, who reported those who did not stand when the nauie of Jesus was mentioned." Promotion sometimes reveals the size of a man. The sergeant is confident of his ability to command a company ; the clerk believes he could manage the establishment; the preacher has 110 doubts of his qualifications for the ollice of Bishop. The friends of these inferior office-holders consider them equal to any responsibility. Promotion will tell the story. Those who have seen a man trying to fill a place which was too large for him nave orten been . amuseu una sometimes mortified. Some one who was called 011 to fill the place of an absent sjjeaker, said : "I cannot fill his place, but I can rattle round in it." It is not an uncommon thing to see men rattling round in a position for which they are too small. An eminent member of Congress died many years ago, and his successor, who weighed nearly three hundred pounds, antagonized John Randolph. After nronouncing an eloquent eulogy on the deceased member, Mr. Randolph turned to his antagonist, and said: "I turn to the seat once occupied by the distinguished member, and lo ! it is vacant." What Randolph said in sarcasm may be said in seriousness of too many positions now held by ambitious aspirants. . .V. ? :.vvi3Sit.
