The dentil of Judge .Simpson may furnisb s [ pretext for the calling of nn extra seseion o L the legislature. coarse It may be greatly to the persona advantage of the members to have a month'! extra session, whereby tlioy may be enablei I<> araw jour uouurs ;? 1U) nuiu I.IIB treasury. AM politicians wanting office, may reasona bly beexpeeted to favor the extra session, lr the hope that la the hurley-burley, topsy ' tnrvy scramble and shifting of offices thej inay fall into some good place which will paj them handsome salaries. Let it not be forgotten that the Novcmbei Term is far advanced. Only a few more cases remain to be argued ?. Even if a new Chief Justice is elected, al V most, if not quite all of the entire business o the Term would be over before theGoverno: can convene the Legislature. The surviving members of the Court wll then,of necessity, be compelled to acton ev ery case on the Fall docket, which embracei nearly all of the business of the year. r A newly elected Judge could not give judg inent in a case which be had not beard ar gued. When, therefore, it is remembered tha thpro is usually very little business before tin May Term, the dullest man in all this coun try can see tbnt the only real reason for order log an extra session is to give Legislators tin opportunity to draw big salaries at a leisur time of the year, and to give the ofllc< seekers an early chance to get at the publl crib. The recent Legislature has done very littli harm, and some good. I.et tliem rest 03 thel laurels. It would be a pity to tax this State at tin rate of $1,000 a day, merely to give Represen tatives a fat Job during the month of Jan uary. In some Instances, of course, the member may be very needy, and it might be a pitj not to give the desired money, but the pnblii good demands that the State do not go to thi enormous expense of 81,000 a day, to elect ar ofllcer whose services will not becommensu rate with the outlay. I.et Abbeville fttaml to Her <'onlrncl We see by the newspapers that Chester de sires to be relieved of her promise to con tribute to the building of tho G? C. & N. Hail road. We are not informed If Chester hasequita ble, or lawful reason for not fulfilling her par o/ the obligation. Hut, as for Abbeville, we mnde the promlsi in good faith, and, as fur as we know, the rail road company have faithfully compiled wItl their condition of the contract. We have the road, and it Is here for al ^ time. Now, we wish It distinctly understood tha . tl,e Tress and Banner, speaking for itself am for every citizen who has spoken to us on th subject, would say that the people of Abbe vlllehave no desire or inclination toevad performance of their part of tho contract ii reference to the building of the G., C & S. ' Up to ttils time, Abbeville has never low ered her crest, and we protest against on; siieh thought on the pnrt of any citizen c Abbeville. To get the road, and then refuse to pa; w.iat we promised, is something that'wll no*or be said of Abbeville. This editor has never been a glutton on th subject of voting railroad taxes, but since lb people ns a whole did vote the taxes aa] k since thnt vote secured the railroad, we wou!< he ashamed uot to pay.^uajjy tfrrti-frfflTesnj' every cenUhjji ;v*r pmmlsed. _-Jft:e~~feel sure that Abbeville will corm squarely up to tho scratch, and doilgi nothing.

Of these shipments all were made over thi C. <fcO. except 472 bales, which were shippe< by the O., C. <C N. The office of the latlei was not opened until someday in December and H is only lately that a permanent depo nger.t has been appointed. In 1S90 the shipments which were made it August are included in the month ol Septetn k^^^^ber. BSXflp ()f tlie erop in 1890 two thousand iiales wen ginned at the oil Mill. Between twelveaut r thirteen hundred bales were ginned by Mr George H. Wilson. * The total increase of gin iiing nt Abbeviiic over last year is about on< thousand bales. The Defeat of lliimptoii. Our friend, the Hon. P. A. Conner takes in to task for what we snUl last we^k of the elec tion of Uulte<l States Upon reading his Icttq^Lhe only difference that we see i>etween hlinabfnnd us lies in tin Intensity of admiration fowcnntor Hampton If we had heen a niom^p|mtlie Legislature we should certainlyilave voB| for lilrn, bul as he was defeated we do nojjiiink the conn try Is ruined. We meant no endorsement whatever of Mr Irhy in what we said of youug men, bin meant that we may expect more of young imm of ability than o 1 old men who had fin ished their work, or had already reached tin summit of their ambition. .Speaking for thePress and Banner we think there is room for criticism of both our Sena tors. They full out too often with associati Senators, and quarrel or dispute too muct with newspaper correspondents and others K|3fl|^^kln speaking thus we would not depreciate SMfrEg^^dctract from the valuable services whlcl distinguished citizens have rendered. Bp^^^NVe will always hold them in grateful re memhrunce, and Hampton's services in 1870, will forever link his name with the proudesi history of South Carolina. In reply to what our respected and houorcti friend says of the Farmers' Bank : We spoke from sincerc convictions and with an earnest desire to help bring success to an institution which is so nearly allied to the best interest of all the people. New JnrleM?Will They Bring Per.ce (?i Abbeville County? I '1 he Jury Commissioner, and his associalef L in tlie drawing of juries, will draw the petit P> and graud juries next Friday. L As heretofore, the Jurors will be drawn with open doors, in the light of dny, and in the presence of witnesses. The Juries are the people, and as they may do their duty, or dischurge the responsibili" ties devolving upon them, they represent public sentiment. In no place is public deraoraiizBlion or public integrity more plainly evidenced than in the actings and doings of the Juries.

He had been in failiug health for sometime, but took his bed only the evening before his death. He was sixty-seven year* of age. From early manhood he has been a prominent figure in the service of bis country. He was elected to the Legislature before the war. At the breaking out of the war he volunteered t as a private soldier, and was afterwards prof moted to Lieutenant Colonel. In 1876 he was Hampton's Lieutenant Governor. When 1 Hampton wa6 elected to the United States i Senate in 1SS9, he became Governor of the I State. Before his term us Governor expired ; he was elected Chief Justice, which oltice he held until ills death. His whole life was an honorable oue, and i we believe that there are none who withhold - from him c.r his memory the highest rer spect. In the Reform (Governor Derelict In r the niHcharice of His Duty?, Of late Abbeville has had mysterious mur * ders, or killing by persons uukuowo to the coroner's jury, and yet the Governor of r this State has not ottered a reward foraslnr gle one of them. When the law oo the subject is read, it is ' clearly to be seen that our Governor has not done tils duty In the premises. It mav be, 8 hnipnonr thjlf h? liam hppil SO tlUKV with til e Legislature that he has hud no time as j et to zive to the suppression of such little indiscretions as that of killing negroes in Abbeville County. Here is the law as to the Governor's 1 duty when a murder has been committed by e an unknown or escaped person: "Upon satisfactory Information that a high crime lias been committed against the peace e within the State, aud that the person committing the same is unknown, oris a fugitive from Justice, the Governor may Usue his b proclamation, offering a reward for the npe prehension and conviction of such person? the amount of such reward to be not Jess than tlfty nor more than five hundred dollars." L* r Ml I In' Itewlilenoe of (lie Itridc's Falhcr.*' Unless It Is meant to correct any impression . that may have gone abroad that a young lady Intended to elope with her lover, it is un necessary to 6tate that her marriage took place "at the residence of lur father." If she t Is married at any other place than her own P home, then it may be well enough to state the i fact as to where she was married. Otherwise . presumption i.?, that slie was married at home. Tae Literary Club. The annual meeting of the Abbevllla Liter . ary Club was held last t riday night ai the home of Judge McGowan. The meeting had been arranged for thai night, but on that morning. Judge McGowan received a telegram informing him of the deathofhls friend and association the Bench. " Chief Justice Simi son, and, left Immediately t on the train to attend the funeral. In his absence, Mr. Benet entertained the ;)ub, and we hud a most delighsful meet p ln>r. Mr. Cason read an ess iy on the Ruhject of 'War an<J international Arbitration," to whicli the members listened with much interest. 1 The essayist seemed to think that wars were often necessary, and when ? nation felt disposed to tight, that any attempt at arbitra1 lion would lull. J He thought that while wars often resulted in great good to the lmrnRn race, yet he admitted that it was always true tfiat It was a hardship to the individual soldier and hl> p fatuity. The essayist ciled various battles whit4i had, he thought, Influenced the religion and ' civilization oi the world. The members who discussed the essay, thoroughly endorsed the essayist in the opinion that wars were necessary, and we believe y some went further than be did in dlscredlt> Ing the beneficial Influence of lutcrnatlounl Arbitration. The peace policy hud but few spokesmen, V though many members made no expression 1 of opinion, some of whom at least were in favor of making all proper efforts to arbitrate before resorting to war. c Fresh oystersand cott'ee were served. e The committee on Essaya and Place of Meeting, appointed Mr. Wilson as esstyist, P and Mr. Lee as altei uate. Place of meeting 3 at the home of Mr. Au-j. W^#nitTfT- ? fiiTTmectfngof the club, with ' several honored guests present. It is to be hoped that the meetings for next f year may be regular, and as pleasant as this p one was. The E.lltor Among tlie Flower*. Acceptiug the Invitation contained in a circular Issued last week by Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, 1 the editor paid a visit to his green house,ami Ills only regret Is ttiat he has not the language nor sufficient knowledge of the floral klng[i dom to describe what he there ww. The i. oullding or "pit" isabout 18x00 feet,covered ;i with glass, and is dug out of the sideoi the fi hill and faces south-east. It is tilled from bottorn to lop with plants of almost every de!i script ion; even the walls are covered with ferns and mosses that grow spontaneously out 2 of the soli. We did not count the plants, bul there must be between fifteen hundred aiid two thousand in all, consisting of over forty f named varieties or geraniums, twenty-five varieties of named fuchsias,together with heliotropes, oleanders, caleus, hibiscus,calm and Easter lilies, hyacinths, crocus, oxults, jupou? icas, begonias, spider lilies, caloehortus, free1 /.las, opopouax, euchurls, farfugemus, Ac., <Sc., and over twenty varieties of cacti. Among 1 the rare plants are oranges, lemons, pine ap, pies, cocoa nut, palm, other palms, the ginger I plant and camphor tree. Also yellow, white, spotted and black calla lilies, and a spoiled I le.ived nassa flora (Mav dou) vine In lull i bloorn with red and purple Mowers. It is like . a picture in a book describing (he ttora ol Cuba or some other tropical c.line, and the temperature corresponds with the scene. To ? a lover of (lowers it. is a beautiful sight, and 1 every lady and Utile girl in the town should go and see it. Having a natural fondness for (lowers, and - considerable knowledge of botany, Mr. i)u* I're conceived the idea of combining pieosure with profit and erected this building four or live years ago, since which lime he has made several additions. He cortainly deserves the patronage of the ladies of Abbeville. He will sell you any plant in the collection for less than you can get it elsewhere, Any plant not in stock he will order lor you free of charge. You can get anything from a pansy io a banana, from a day lily to a century plant. Having been "cutback" late in ibi? season, In ? older to propagate by cuttings, there are not ? now many blooms, but tlie plants are lull of tjuds, and In a few weeks the pit will look ' like fairyland. Go and seo them, and en? courage home taleut by patronizing him. NEEDED CHANGE OF ROAD. -? ? I Two Dangerou* CroMMlit^N of I he G.J , We have no idea whose business it is, but " as a matter of (act, all persons and all Mock passing along the street by Judge Cothan's t and on toward the Poor House are twice exposed to peril because the public highway - twice unnecessarily crosses the track of the - (}.. C. A N. Railway. ! It would he little less than a miracle If somebody is not soon killed at the further crossing. Owing to the formation of the Bur lace of the ground, the crossing Is perhaps ! I he most dangerous of which we have any knowledge. As there seems to be no particular neces slty for exposine our people to that danger, it is to be hoped that either the Railway Corn. pauy or theCountyCommissloners, may give 1 this matter their early attention. The cost of making the survey, and the laI borof opening the new road, for a mile or so, would t>e a mere trille ooinpured to the consequences of smashed vehicles, killed cltU 1 i Kons. and wrecked trains. i It a new survey Is determined upon, it is to , be hoped that an eye will be given to getting J us level a way as possible. Threatened Evil. 1 It Is very certain that under the Constitu-! tlon the Governor can not, by appointment,1 till the unexpired term of Chief Justice Simpi son, as It is for a longer period than twelve j months. The only way In which that vacan-j ' j cv can be filled is by election by the Legislature. ' I The only question then is, whether an extra ! Kexxion shall be called for thai purpose, or Hie election bo postponed until the next session, November. 1801, In view ot the great inconvenience and oxIpenseof nn extra session of the Legislature. , and the fact that two Judges constitute a , quorum of the Supreme Court to do business, ! we incline to think that it will be the wisest I course not to call an extra session, but allow the I two surviving members of the Court wlto am !nble and no doubt willing, to proceed with the business of the Court until nextNovem, her. i I The CJisfs already argued would have to be . decided by them, even if the vacancy wus 11111 ed vow, for the new Judge eon Id have iio voice in deciding eases which he never heard , nrjMiefl.

II seems to us that the holding of Inquests In this county Ims become an important industry. It may be that 1 lie juries who sit in such cases, are perfectly familiar with all the law on the subject, yet It may not be unlntcrest ing to the public, who have been so often uma/.eil at the verdicts of jurles,.to lead some exlmcts from the law. mode of summoning a jury.

T Orphanage Is not In Abbeville County, bill belongs to Abbeville all the same. Wen waiting, already, for May and Abbeville come. Wm. P. JAC0B8 Is there any reason why all the Bund Schools may not Join In a pleasant excursl to the City of Orphans? Is there any reason why every Sunday 8ch< Scholar in Abbeville should not go? We have no doubt ihat a special train cot hp hurl fora reasonable sum. and we are si that a ride over the new railroad and a vl to the Home of the Orphans would afford great pleasnre toalJ. If tne Superintendents would co-operi with each other, the day would be the Krai est success which has ever resulted Iron Sunday School picnic. Each Sunday School might have banm properly inscribed, under which the little * dlersof the cross might parade and pled anew their love for our Saviour. And all could agree ou learning some co mon hymn in the singing of which at a pn er time all could unite. Mr. Jacobs and his army of little U might meet their guests at the train, mlsjht utt?r words of welcome, and all t children in repose mixht sing sulta pong. A visit to the home of the orphans and t surrounding scenery would lend variety to I programme. The pic ulc dinner would be a notal event. The ride on the railroad would be historic In times past various expedients have b? resorted to to bring all the children lntol Sunday Schools, but wc think none has be more successful than this may be. The good women among the Sunday Schc workers conid gel all the children ready, a the funds might be taUen from the collectlt to pay the expense of the trip. The childi who ;bave so long worked tor the heath might now work a little for themselves a thelp neighbors.

While Christendom gladly |0 and joyfully|ce!ebrates the anniversary qi of the Messiah's natal day it may be ie of some addilioual interest to refer to J the occasion when the (Irst intimation y, was giveu that such a personage as Jed sus should, sometime in the future of d and from thai occuftion. should be born ?should come into tbe world. pr The occasion was the transgression ie of law by Eve and Adam with attend* ". of ant circumstances. Themauand the & woman had the diviuely specified J} privilege to eat freely of every tree of the garden, except of the "tree of the r- knowledge of good and evil." They ** weie forbidden to eat of that tree, and t- told of tbe consequence if tbey should ji disobey-"in the day that thou eatest )f thereof thou shalt surely die." No ' r '* greater sanction to the law- obedience, jf continued 11.e; disobedience certain d death?could have been given. ? ? Through the agencies of Satan aud o the serpent the woman took of tbe > fruit nf I hp forhirlilAii trM "?nil rliri ? eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; aud he did eat." Thus did n the upright pair transgress the law of t. their Maker aud thereby fell from te iheir holy estate and the same day ' ' a- brought on themselves the penalty of " disobedience?death to their souls aud - ic to their bodies. God was the foautain ; of life to their souls and the tree of life [[ was the source of life to th*ir bodies. >r <The transgression was followed by an immediate separation of their souls" B. and* bodies, their respe 3tive sources of lite, tduh tney sinned and thus they a died, both the same day, if not the ^ earae hour or the same minute. God, looking upon hie image thus CD marred through the device of Batan, v was moved with compassion toward i the fallen and there and then formed a. the purpose of redemption, deter mi n!* ing that a divinely begotten Son of woie man should, in the fullness of the n time, come into the world and conquer ? the Devil and destroy his works, and d open a way for the human race to be fi- restored to the favor of God and also establish the right of way to the tree n ~ e u*_ x- -li xi xi- - a * ? ? ui uie to uu uiey mat wouiu * seep nis /. y commandments." k This purpose of God was concealed ?|. from th? world except as through the 11- intervening ages prophets spoke of it 8 but not always understanding the im port of their own prophedes,-~AlML_ eveiHtorringels^knew only enough to ? excite their desire to look further inn to the uurevealed purpose, which pur?. pose was the "mystery" so often referii red to in the New Testament the seal j"f of which was broken at the birth of Jeaua?the first Christmas Day. The marginal reading; "dying thou 4 e* shalt die," we think is preferable to ?-<M * the text.
