The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE , S.C. Published every Wednesday at ?2 a year in advance. Wednesday, Feb. 3, 1892. Our Most Bitter Enemy in Trouble* Printer's Ink, a publication in New York, whose object seems to be to thrive by the villiflcation of the honest local press of the country, is now experiencing some trouble with the post office authorities, because they very properly contemplate excluding it from the rates accorded to second class mall matter. As far as our Information and belief are concerned no other firm, or any other publication, in the United States has labored so zealously to bring the country press into public contempt. It Is to all intents and purposes an advertising sheet, whose two great objects seem to be to monopolize the advertising custom and to destroy in the public mind the value and worth of the local press. The iufluence upon the public mind can be but for evil to the country press and we do not care it it is required to pay the postage which the law requires. The firm of George P. Rowell & Co., have never, as far as we know, shown any sort of respect for the country press. They accuse a great mass of them as bein? "circulation liars,'" and then proceed themselves in their Annual to discredit individual actual circulation specifically, and in a general way 10 inrow oaium uuu <juutempt upon thr local papers. The Press and Banrer regards Geo. P. Itowell & Co., as the greatest enemy that the local press of the country have met, and we thluk It would be well (or the printing fraternity It the Printer's Ink and its efforts to destroy the country press were entirely excluded from the malls. Another Fire at Lauren*. The store of Mlnter&Jamieson, and Col' B. W. Ball's fine three story house were burned last Saturday morning. Loss of each, nearly covered by Insurance. And so the work of destroying the city still goes on. We thought the recent killing of a negro in that irnnid havp sionDpil the incetidiarIsm. which if kept up will reduce the city too "village" in fact. . Jnst ns We Expected. We learn from the Suite that some of the phosphate companies have suspended work altogether. Other companies are working with a limited force, and all will likely shut down in a short time. Cause, failure to sell their output. ? . - The Barnwell People has a good editorial on the coming campaign ? dispassionate, thoughtful and to the point. THE HAKD TIMES. - We Should Strive to Meet Them, and Look Hope full to the Futnre. In view of tlie present financial distress of the country it behooves every citizen to adopt the best methods by wblcli lie can be enabled to meet demands wh;ch may be made upon him. There is neither relief nor wisdom Is sitting down and crying hardwires. The right way to do is tocntofl use less or unprofitable expenditures, and work with renewed energy to make thecrops which will best bring a safe return, or wblcli will save going in debt. As the largest outlay on many farms Is for corn and other food supplies, lot. each farmer to cut down ibis outlay. Now is the time to give this matter serlou? consideration. In a little while the corn crop should be planted, and no farmer should plant for less than enough to supply his actual needs for (he coming year. Plant early, at the right time, without reference to the ' nP/Mtrtri A t Mm letnperaiure 01 tu?nu u> nm ... .... right time the conditions will be right. No farmer can afl'ord to eet along without a pasture, and every available font of land should be put under fence. Beeves aud milk cows are a source of protlt, and the saving In horse feed is lmmensr. Tbe building of pasture fenceR can tie done without reducing tbe farm products, and It rail timber and money are scarce It is better to exchange a cow or beef animal for the needed wire. In some instances, It might be better to exert a little more personal effort, and to give a little more personal attention to the stock and tbe work on tbe farm. This course might reduce the necessity for abusing trifling neeroes It Isn't well for every man to go to the Banks for ready cash, while the merchants charge a greater per centuge on tht'lr goods than the banks charge on their money, yet many a good man is not able to horde up a year's supply. Too many of us fool away our * ready cash for pistols, carts, harness, ribbons, boots, and whiskey, and we are sometimes still dependent on the stores for corn and meat. The probability is that the merchants as n rule, will not again take a second lien, as they did last year. Many merchants who did . so las), year, have reason to regret the act. The price of cotton still goes down, and the probability Is tbat the people will not able to pay as heavy bills as mey nave uereunmr paid. For this reason there will be little chance to collect second mortgages. The experience of last year has convinced farmers of the mistake oi borrowing money from the banks, and the shortage oJ collections has convinced the merchants that they must be more cautions In the future. OLD ERSKINE. To RInc From It* AnIicm Greater and Grander than Ever Before?Other Mutter*. Due West, S. C., Feb. 1st, 1^92. Mr. Denson, the Washington architect of the new College building, arrived here lasi Tuesday. Much to the gratification of the building committee.

CARELESS TRADES. What It Co*t to Save Five Dollar*? A Story From Whic-li Others Nay Learn a Le<t<ton. In the case of Evans against steltz the Jury last, week rendered their verdict in favor ol the defendant It seems that Mrs. steltz several years ago, sold to James Evans a eertain tract of land described by certain metes and bounds, which tract was said to "contain 420 acres more or less." The tract consisted of a piece ofland. on the west side of the road, supposed to contain 39!) acres, and a piece ot land on the east side containing twenty-one acres?making 420 acres In all. No survey of the land was made at the time or the sale. Neither Evans nor Mrs. steltz knew certainly how much the tract really contained, but it was described by metes and bounds. Some time after the sale waR made this suit was entered, demanding that Mrs. Steltz make good the shortage in the number <?t ncres, by extending the i!tie iar enough over Mrs.Slolt/, land to give Evans the number ol acres named in his title, "4'0 actes." Mrs. Steltz resisted on the ground that she sold the land by "metes and hound*" and that the actual number ol ncres was an immaterial (act; that she conveyed the land described, 8Ud that she wns not responsible f->r any error of Judgment as to the number ol acres; that- she sold >t by .the 1 ract. In the course ol the trial the Court, ordered _ ... . ~ u.. n.|,l?h /.(W! CI7 ulu.nl ? KUrVCJ IV UC IUUUO| nmvu v | ?? . i wicrt as much as would have been the necessary cost ol surveying it at the time of the sale. That survey reported 107 acres short of the "40o acres, more or less." Itiiisn appeared in evidence that Evans had allowed a neighbor 10 encroach on his original line, which encroachment iie admitted was to the extent of some 30 or 40 acres, but which encroachment was really something like 00 acres. Besid-s being required to make the survey which should have been made at trie time of the sale, the parlies to this suit have been obliged to attend two terms of the Court, while undergoing the vexation, the suspense and the expense of a long continued suit, the actual cost in Court expenses and lawyer's fees have been perhups S2i)0. And unless he goes into' Court to recover the 00 acres, it is probable that Evans will loss the land which he admitted was cut otl or taken from him by a neighbor. In that event a new law suit, and additional costs will he incurred to get the property about which there would h:ive been no chance lor a dispute, i It he survey had been made at the time of the sale. The facts of this case are noted, and they are of inierest chiefly, to point out the error or mistake in the common carelessness of transferring land. If there ever was a truth in the maxim of ' penny wise and pound foolish" it Is found in the act of buying or selling land without a survey and plat of the ground. In the case Just mentioned it is fair to presume that the survey was not made because of the trifling expense incident thereto. The result has been that i.he partleR to this transition have expended iu this law suit a sum, the interest of which would pay the cost of surveying it three times a year from now until the end of time. Let no wise man buy a tract of land which has not been surveyed, or if he does so foolish a thing, then let hiin stick the closer to his bargain. There is 110 way under the sun of altering a sale which has been made b.v snetes and bounds. As Judge Hudson said: "If a cow pen which coniuined only an aero were sold by ineies and bounds, and said to contain a thousand acres, tlie buyer could get only the laud which he bought and which was included within the metes and bounds." In ranking a trade for lnnd It Is safer, cheaper mid better lo consult a ;nwyear. We were not in Court, but we believe the statements above nuade in reference to the aw it are true. SALE DAY, Jin Public Sales?A E.arye Croud in Town. Last Monday was Sale Day, and we had a I ereat gathering of our fellow-citizens from ev-1 ery section of tJie county. Nothing occurred I to mar the peace of the day, unless it be a few plain drunks. Xo official sales were mad*. The cry of the auctioneer was heard at intervals, preaching I a luneral sermon over some poor mule or horse whose owner desired to net rid of it. The merchants and banks were liesdged for money and goods on doubtful as well as on j good collaterals. HUSBAND AND WIFE. !

Sonic Political Points an<l a Score oT Random Shafts?Do They Hit Any. body or Anythi ny ? After all, the school question fn Abbeville was settled w ithout any trouble or Ill-feeling. That Ik the proper way all such things should be done. That part of the business being over, too much care cannot be exercised in theinaiterof esinblishing and running the school. Good salaries should be provided fori the teachers, and the school building should be built in such a manner as to make It corn-1 fortable. Children, like grown people, have I feelings, and this being the case, they are sub-' ject to heat and cold Just the same us if they J , vvcre crown neoule. Tills fact, should be re-1 membered. It is a disgrace to the whole Stat e ofSonth Carolina that the children, both in the towns and the country, arc allowed to attend school in such miserable house*.. We, I mean the grown people, would not inhabit these poor structures, why then are the cbllIdren made to get their education in them. It is not on ly wrong, but, it is actually cruel, i It seems t hat Greek is to meet Greek in the approaching campaign. It is announced that senator Donaldson, of Greenville, Is a candl|flute in the Bailiwick of the great and only [George Washington Shell, there does not seem to be too much hnririony among the hosts of followers of our zreat Ben. That fight will he watched with a great manifesto. I would like to know how Shell looks upon tile situation. 1 told you that the reputation of our Ben had reached Coi. Ellison S. Keitt, down 011 his reservation in Newberry County. He eonies to the tront with a letter in one of the Newberry papers, and scores his formerchnm in utiineasiued terms. He claims that Tillman has proved false in everything; and great numbers of his former followers are coming to somewhat of the same opinion. I rile rpMiiiiitimi pnnt lnnes to snread to his dls advantage. I olteti try to imagine how things used to appear years ago. In walking down the street the other day. I noticed hanging in tront of ! the store of Captain John G. Ed wards an old fashioned "hand" of leaf tobacco. Perhaps, that hand of tobacco is the forerunner ot many more of the same kind. It is to be hoped that it will be. We must diversity our crops, and tobacco Is a very good thing to begin with. It is said to be a paying crop. When our merchants exhibit for sale home raised products, it will be a sure sign of prosperity. A correspondent, of the Edgefield Chronicle says that Meriwether township, Governor Tillman's home, will go against him by a good majority this year. This lie says, is a fixed fact. It seems that the neighbors of our Den are finding him out. Col. Hovt. in the Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer, says: "In the debate upon a State prlmarj' in the convention of 18SS. when B. R.Tillman was nonclndingastrong speech in its favor, he turned to one of its most active and influential opponents, and said : 'Refuse ? 1 1 n?\/l nllno t<\ t ilO in^Utlimim ui mi; (.irupir, nuu nii. present mode of nomination officers, and yon will see a flood two years hence that will sweep out of political exigence the men who are now holding office.' Tills warning deserves to be repeated now. Let the politicians who are now blocking the way against a State primary beware of the deluge. They came Into power unexpectedly to many people, and they will gooutol power very unexpectedly to themselves." The above shows that our governor j elled for a great many things in the last campaign that he did not want. Hypocracy is an easy thing to practice, but, at the same time It is a very hard thing to answer for when confronted with it. There seems to have been a great crowd ot candidates in town yesterday. It was sales day and a good time to leel the political pulse. Tnere were no declarations of principles, but ?i general nosing around, and efforts to liud out In which direction the wind was blowing. The situation may be summed up a9agrand waiting on the political wind. It seems tiiat *ome of the present members of the General Assembly will stand for re-election, but there has been no declarations as to whose banner they will follow. One of the candidates for the leclslature was heard to say that lie thought that Tillman would be elected. In reply to questions llie same man said, that he did not .believe the report that Tillman had not paid his taxes. That is a case where there should be no thoughts or doubts. The facts are wilhiii easy reach,aud it will be found on investigation to be true or not. Candidates should huvo no thoughts on such a matter, but come out square and lace the music. The people are determined to know the whole truth in regard to all matters this year. NINETY-SIX ITEMS. Dr. Julian ? Cotton?Poor Politic*? Fire ? Erskine ? Death* ?prospective Marrinee. Ninety-Six, S. C.. Feb. 2, IS92. We understaud there will be a leap year party in town sometime very soon. The Hon. Calvin \V. Kinard died at Ills residence in Edgefield county on the'J-iih of January lust. At i lie lime of dealt) he was a member of the Leglsiatu-e, having served two terms in tnat body. Mr. Kinard was a kind husband and indulgent father. He has many friends who wilt mourn ills loss. Dr. Julian hus returned lrom a long trip to the lar West. He says South Carolina is good euough lor t) 1 in. He lias moved to Cross (illI. Laurens County, where he will practice his proiession. Our farmers are busy making arrangements for another year. The acreage In cot ion will (>e reduced, aud the production of hog and huminy increased. \Ve always look on t ho sunny side, and believe tho present stringency and hard times will work out good lor the country. Mr. .laines Rogers has about fifty bushels ol Allen's long staple cpiion seed for sale, it is tne cotton to plant. Mr. Jhuk-s A. Aguew died at his residence near Coronaea on the 24th ult., aged about llfty-flve years. Mr. Agnew was a kind neighbor and Christian gentleman. He leaves a sorrowing wilo anil four children who have the sympathy of a large number of friends. We meant no reflections when we registered our youn'g lady visitor irom North Carolina. We rejoice that she Is not a "Tar Heel," and feel proud that the old .South mate has so lair a daughter. Several of our best farmers who have been holding their cotton, sold it last week. The price *r)\, luougn very iow is as roucn as iney could get. One o( the most successful fanners and business men who ever l ived In Ninetysix township made It a rule to sell his cotton ns soon u? he could gel it out, at the nearest market. Politics are at a low ebb. The people feel that ibey have been inistreuted ?bout the primary, and many men say ihatthey don't think they will voteagalD. Of course this is wrong and unpatriotic. We believe it Is the duty of every man to vote when he can vote intelligently. Col. Shaw, of Laurens, we helleve he Is on the Governor's statr, loo, says "hurrah for our party and the wool hats." Well, we think the "wool hats" have about hatl their day and we think it is now time for' the good and conservative men of the State to look around a little. The many friends of Mr. M. t. Coleman at Ninety-Six congratulate him and hope that he and his accomplished wll# may live long to enjoy the good things of this world. Mrs. Mundy, ol Greenwood, Is visiting her daughter Mrs. Samuel Turner The store house and stock of goods belonging to our friend Mr. William Held was burned at Dyson's on last Tuesday night, supposed to l>e accidental. The loss amounts to aboutS(i,">nO. Insurance for 82,500 on stock, no insurance on the building. This is a severe loss to Mr. Uoitl, who is a young man Just beginning business. Our sympathy can do him no good but he has it, nevertheless. Ninety-Six mourns the loss of Ersklne, but predicts that the little band ut Spartans, Phoenix-like will arise Irorn their ashes and put fortli creater elforts for the cause of education. We hope the people everwhere will open Uieir uciirih'wiiu pursrn uui ??.> m devoted brother*. your cause shall he our cause, and with llusc sultlcleney Plmll be divided. Mrs. Thompson, the mother of Mr.*. MnJ. R. A. Urittin, died recently at her home in hnoxvll'e,'J'enn. Mrs. Grillin'H many friends in Carolina regret to hear of this sad bereavement, and extend to iter much sympathy. Miss Denny, the accomplished milliner, who spent the winter in Ninety-Six In the employ of Mr. A. S. Osborne, has returned to her home in Baltimore. Miss Denny made many friends during her so-|onrn here, and all of us hope she will return again next season. Next week we will record a wedding that will take place near town, when one of our best young men will lead one of our best young ladles to the altar. The lion. William Keith,of Xewherrv, was in town last Saturday. Mr. Mike Watson, of Itidge Springs, was in town last week on his way to Greenville. Masl End. OLD MONEY.

" " 1 SOME OF HIS TRIALS AND TROUBLES J WITH CUSTOMERS. Women Do the Best Work?Diplomacy and a Hard Heart Necessary to Success. Difficulty In Securing New Kltkr?Premiums in Small Snms. Among thjB many thousand bread winners of this big city there is no class where success depends so entirely upon the merit of the worker alone, and where outside in Quence has so little control, as in what is known as the industrial insurance business. Here the worker is judged by results only. His personality, what he can do and what he may be able to do in the future are never taken into consideration. What he has done, that, and that alone, is all that is ever looked aS> and all that is ever paid for. The industrial insurance agent conies and goes as regularly as the weeks roll by, gathering in the nickels, the dimes and the dollars, and ever on the alert to write up new policies. An agent of one of the companies which conducts this class of business was approached the other day by a reporter, and in reply to several queries gave him the following information: "Yes, it is hard work tramping all day, and harder work still lo get people to insure. The bulk of the business in Philadelphia is written up. Why, there is hardly a house where I go weekly to collect the premiums in which every member is not insured, many people holding policies in two or more companies on the same life. "So you see with this state of affairs existing it is rather difficult to obtain new insurance, and it is from the new insurance he writes that an agent's chief remuneration comes, although -we are paid 15 per cent, of all we collect in premiums weekly." MUST BECOME HARD HEARTED. "Do you experience any difficulty in this portion of your labor?" asked the reporter. . "Well, no; not now. You see I have become hard hearted and am deaf to all excuses. If the people do not pay at the end of the allotted time I lapse them. I am forced'to do it for my own protection. For, should I carry them on my books and thus keep their policies in force after the prescribed four weeks, and should they fail in the end to pay me, why I would be out of pocket for the difference between the time I had carried them and the four weeks allowed by the company, which, if the number of delinquents was very large, ronnlr? annn mnsiime mv commission. No. I have very little trouble now, bnt at firsl I had considerable. All new men do. They are apt to be easy with the people and allow them to get behind in their payments. But with the old men it is quite a different thing. They insist on being paid and generally get there. Being accustomed to hearing the tales of woe, to which we are all obliged to listen, they stick it out, whereas a new man at the business would say he would call again next week before the tale were half over." "Does your company employ women as agents?" again asked the reporter. "Oh, yes. I believe they are scattered all over town, in all the companies, and are increasing in numbers." "What of their ability as agents?" "They make the best agents, and are much more successful than men. You can understand that from the fact that a woman has less difficulty in gaining entrance to a house than a man, and an agent's work is half over if he can succeed in getting in. In this event, providing he knows his business, he generally comes out with an application for a policy. And once you succeed in getting one on your list you are fairly certain of eventually writing up the whole family. WOMEN MOKE PATIENT AND DIPLOMATIC. "Women are much more patient than men, and understand how to. meet and parry another woman's argument. They never meet with the rebuffs that the men do. Only a few days ago I rang the door bell of a house in West Philadelphia, and on being answered by a young girl 1 po- ? litely inquired whether they were insured or not, stating at the same time what company I represented and our general plan of business. She did not appear to understand, and after staring blankly at me for a few moments was on the point of calling to some one in the rear, when a voice from that quarter came to her assistance: 'Shut the door, Mary! shut the door in his face. He's only one of them darn insurance men, drat 'eml' "The door closed with a bang and I proceeded calmly to the next attack. Now this would not have occurred had a woman > I 1 * 1 J V* n XT A ueeu iu my jjiauc. iui sue nuuiu uou umg stated her business on the steps, but instead, as soon as the door opened, would have walked gracefully in, and once in would have held tho fort until success crowned her efforts, for she is the personification of persistence, and I feel safe in predioting that eventually she will monopolize the whole business." "How does your work pay you?" inquired the reporter. "We receive from 'nine to eleven times the amount we write, according to the amonnt of weekly premiums we collect; or, in other words, should I insure your life for a weekly premium of ten cents 1 would receive from ninety cents to 81.10 for the work, according to the size of my collection book. The larger the book the more money we are paid for new business." "Do the companies have any trouble in obtaining agents?" "Ho; they can get all they wish, but it is to keep them after they get thei_ where the rub comes. That is the general complaint of the polioy holders. New agents all the time. Some stay a few weeks, some a few months; very few stick it out longer."? Philadelphia Times. Walking Good for Weak People. "TIih general adaptation of rapid transit in Pittsburg," said a popular physician, "and the spreading of the population over a larger area will have a marked effect on the city's mortality bill. I havo lost several patients who have cured themselves of old standing ailments by riding out into the suburbs frequently, ana tnen warning off their dyspepsia. Many business men, too, who move out walk part of the way down town in the morning, or cross a few blocks to strike another road.

He said it was temperance in all things; fctft Torn Hood gave -some Tery good rules regarding the preservation of health and the avoidance of disease that may well be repeated. "Take precious care of your precious health," he wrote in a letter to a friend; "but how, as the housewife says, to make it keep. "Why, then, don't smoke dry it, or pickle it in everlasting acids, like the Germans. Don't bury it in a potato pit, like the Irish. Don't preserve it in spirits, like the barbarians. Don't salt it down, like the-Newfoundlanders. Don't pack it in ic8, like Capt. Back. Don't parboil it, like gooseberries. Don't pot, and don't hang it. A rope i? a b;id 'cordon sanitaire.' Above all don't despond about it... Let not Anxiety have 'thee on the hip.' Consider your health as your neatest,and best friend, and think as well of it, in spite of all its foibles, as you can. "For instance, never dream, though you' may have a 'clever hack,' of galloping consumption. Never fancy every time you cough you are going to pot. Hold up, 8S the shooter hays, over the roughest ground. Never meet trouble half way, but let him have the whole walk for his pains. , I have even known him to give up his visit in sight of the house.
