f The Press and Banner. BT HUGH WILSON. ^Wednesday, Jan. 25, 1893. "Self-Denial." At the regular Wednesday evenlnir prayermeeting of the Associate Reformed I'resb.vteDans, the pastor, the F. Y. Pressly, will discuss the subject ot "Self-Denlal," ai the home of Mr. W. O. Bradley to night. The interesting subject aud the ability of the preacher Insure an entertaining and instruc- j live talk. The religious duty and the moral | obligation, which are included under the hcadot "S lf-Deulal," we helleve Is lluleun0 dcrstood by the majority of even churchmembers. I We all have some vague notion that self de- i nial Is one of the Christian virtues but, view- < a.I > f'Wfkilan (itun/1iu\lnt u'hn nf Mic hull a clear perception or a well-detined Idea of Hie meaning of the tenu ? Does It mean the subjection of our wicked natures to tbe moral ana spiritual laws as ex? emplitled tn the life of our Saviour? It cannot mean that we must deny ourselves of sufficient clothing In winter any more than It would require us toabstain from taking the requisite amount of food to satisfy the demands of our corporeal natures. Mr. Pressly's statements and conclusions are based on n familiarity with the Scriptures, and his thoughts are clothed in a style and a beauty of expression which always appeals to ibe understanding of the people and never falls to excite greater zeal In the hearts of devout worshippers.

On Saturday, as Conductor Cadle was op the return trip lie whs assaulted, at Athens, from the effects of which he died in the walling room Sunday night at ten o'clock.

Perhaps no Legislative enactment of modrn times was ever "cussed and discussed" as uucb as the Evans Dispensary Bill.

Allen and recited by her bright and fascinating pupil Miss Adelaide Wescott, will rendered In Bailey's hall at Greenwood Thursday, February 2nd. ' Switzerland" Is a descriptive and Interesting comedy In four parts, with three principal, among other minor characters; wlih the novelty that one person does It all. She does not Impersonate them, but speaks to them as If they were on the stage, gracefully consulting them at different stages of their trip and completely preserving the illusion of tbelr presence. A stirring story of adventure on a tour \ througn Switzerland, visiting those places, seeing those things and experiencing those adventures only capable of the American girl. She has for her companions a very susceptible maiden aunt, and a queer old count I in invn with her Bunt?'s money. An Inter estlng and exceedingly amusing plot Is continued through theerenlng In a clear manner comprehended by all. Along the way they meet children, beggars, peasants, and tourists and tlnd endless opportunity and amuse- 1 ment lo study the customs and manners or the natives. Throughout the play are scat- 1 tered vivid descriptions or old bouses, quaint churches and historic buildings; and the grand scenery among the mountains and upon tte lakes ol Switzerland. Itlsareflned, < interesting and instructive entertainment tor all classes. Ministers and church members i are especially mnphatlo in. their commenda tions of this new and novel opportunity of I visiting Switzerland and return In one evening. It is a grand opportunity and no one < can afford to miss it. Ticket* for sale at the 1 principal drug stores In Greenwood. This eutertalnment is for the benefit of the Meth- t odlst church. The report sent to the press from NinetySix that a certain preacher had applied for , the position of county dispenser does-some- 1 body a gross injustice. If untrue, the preach- i er referred to has been done incalculable InJury. If true?which is very doubtful?a ( gross lnjustic has been done the half-dozen , other preachers in jjue wesi, oecause me j name of tbe accused was not mentioned. "East End" is, In all probability, the sender 1 of the News and Courier's report as well as ; that of the Press and Banner. If so, be Is j doubly to blame for giving publicity to a rumor of so much lncercitude, when be conld have obtained the truthfulness of It so easily. Tbe same rumor was current here, but no. one gave It any credence and certaiuly no i thought of publication. There Is not a man In tbe county who does not like Sherlfl Nance personally, and all are convinced that he will make a good offleer. Yet be bus bad a strangely bard time . In getting iuto the office, which Is but anotb- 1 er Illustration of the apothegm tbat perseverance will win. There Is a striking contrast beween the Greenville News's editorials on I he death of Gen. Butler and Ex-Prealdent Hayes. True, tbere was a vast difference In tbe lives or the two men, but both should bave been treated on tbo principle tbat a dead enemy is less harmful than a living friend. If there was no virtue to commend, a simple death notice ? would be sufficient. I am reminded ol the J very short and expressive notice given by , tbe Atlanta Journal on tbe death of Boulang er. It simply said, "tfouiauger is no more? be never was much." If 11 is not out of order I nominate General Hemphill as editor of the Register. But, oh my ! wouldn't county politics be prosy without him? For twenty years he has made It exceedingly lively for his opponents?since come to think about it we canrt Bpare him. I withdraw the nomination. HIsHouor Judge Cox says, Mr. Gantt was elected electoral messenger as a rebuke to the conservatives.
