. The Fress and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 1893. Stick I nto DoHih. Miss Eliza Cater Is extremely ill. With a brave heart and a Christian fortitude she stands on the brink, ready to go at her Master's call. For Ave years she has lived between hope and doubt as to a fatal result from the malady with which she was then stricken, but! through it all, she has been courageous.] facing death with an undaunted exterior and I remaining at her post of duty?to all outward appearances?cheerful and happy, until disease had made such inroads on her health, that she could no longer rise from her bed. Performing her duty faithfully and uncomplainingly until Saturday. December 31. 1882. (the went to her home that eveulng from the store never to return. She could go no longer, and then lay down npon the bed from wnlch she has not risen, on which she now lies, waiting for the waiting disease to finish its work, and to free her soul from Its earthly habitation. The community, and the people who love her so well, remembering her cheerful, happy disposition, deeply sympathize with the afflicted household, and their blinds have been untiring in efforts to alleviate her sufferings and to gratify the desires of their own hearts by performing offices of klndeess and love for one who was always delighted to give pleasure to others.

BUTLER AND TILLMAN. * The Probable Race Hetween the Two j IMotincnishnl Son I h <'nroliiiiaiift. . IlelievlnK that It Is the part of wisdom to take counsel more from our reason ami corn- | tnon sense than from our hatred or prefer- ] en?*eor self-interest, we say what we do, and t trust that they who have eyes but see not, ( may finally conclude to do a little of their own thinking. if there is h subject which we can talk of e dispassionately and without prejudice it Is th?? forthcoming contest between Senator Butler and Governor Tillman. The difference between them being: Senator Butler has never strained his vision sufficiently to enable him toseeanythlng as small as the Press and Banner, and Governor Tillman seems to have a rabid hatred for all antl papers. The honors being easy, and having ' no Interest one way or the other, and having no ends to subserve, we are Indifferent as to the Dersoiial preferment of either. These remarks are Induced by a Washington correspondent of the newspapers who i has taken upon himself to dispute any re- ri port- looking to the appointment of Senator I Butler to a position under the Cleveland ad- 1 ministration, and closing his article with the a assertion that he will contest the election c with Tillman before the people, and will car- t ry on the fight to a finish, or words to that c effect. The time was when politicians and news- J papers, standing on the heights of official doorstops In the cities and capitals of this v country could control coming events In the political world, but that time has passed, e The people are now lu the saddle and are J being led by new men who have Inspired their followers with the belief that old things should be relegated to the rear. s In the race for Senator which will virtually come before the people In the next ti campaign, the contest wlil be to elect repre- li sentatives to the General Assembly who will tl favorelther Tillman or Butler, and whoever o goes to the next Legislature will go there n pledged tor theone or the other candidate. A Butler has been In the Senate for nearly a twenty years, and In that time he has come A verv little In contact with the people. Many tl of his old friends are gone, and a vast muitl- e tude of the present voters have come upon the stirring scenes of life since he was sent to a Washington. He is, therefore, but little e: known to a rast majority of our people, and tl having made no special effort to maintain ti the friendly and Intimate touch of the elbow C with the masses, he will come Into the con- ci test ill prepared tor success. b On the other hand, Tlliman is in power, tl flushed with recent victory, and In touch a with his followers, who seem road with their hatred of old men and old things. Whatever his record may be as Governor, he will turn It to good effect before the people. The movement of which he Is the head, has put a thousand new men in office, and ^ we presume that there are thousands of other men looking for office, who have no hope except in their fidelity to Tillman's cause. Governor Tillman will parade all his official conduct, and will show wherein he b played the hero act in many instances. By M that time the dispensary act will have been U tried. That act alone will give his administration a big advantage. The workings of that plau of selling whiskey will put more money in the treasury at Columbia than all tl the phosphate beds In the State. It will put tt Into the county and city treasuries enough P< money to materially lower the State and c< county taxes, while shutting up the bar h rooms. He will recount his efforts against the rail- ai roads In extorting unjust taxes from them, lc and he will readily convince hlB hearers of hi the wlckednessof soulless corporations. This act alone will give blm an Immense advan- V tage before such peple as despise men or corporations for no other reason than they have earned and saved money. h He will, as before, make a great outcry bi against the manner In which the old JudgeB ti Interfered with him, and the people will no It doubt be stuffed with the Idea that the courts y have not been efficient In the enforcement of st ihe law against criminals, and will most hi likely charge thetn with granting new trials, from time to ti - e, until an acqultal has been C secured In nearly every case where the criminal has bad money or influential friends sc to hack him. Vl All these reasons, added to the present ex- at nlted condition of the public mind, will give Governor Tillman an overwhelming victory c< over any man who may enter the race against n him for United States Senutor. h Senator Butler will not be reelected. He fr needn't base any hope on any such result. For this reason it is barely possible that he hod better accept any desirable position that may be ofl'ored him at Washington. THE FAEMING OUTLOOK. I*he Farmer* Looking: Forward Hope- ^ folly?Some Talk of Finances. si The indications are that the larmers are making extensive preparations for large crops K< this year. Thousands of acres of small grain ie were sown last Fall, and now the shipments BC of phosphates to the Interior are Immense. ^ The farmers every where seem anxious to go Q1 to work, and will improve the first opportunity to advance their Interests. Owing to the bi severity of the winter, but little has been June on the farmB for the last two months, r{ and now the ground is so thoroughly soaked h with water that notblne can be done. Tbe o, low price of cotton for the last year or two qi lias convinced our farmers of the necessity of providing their own supplies while making jr good crops of cotton. Their experience last year proves, too. that a crop oi cotton may be <j; made without incurring as heavy debts as tbey have heretofore done, and this fact may 8C be of benefit to some. la Experience has satisfied many farmers that the Banks which furnish the ready cash, are 0] not a great relief after all. Tbe fact Is, that someinen fool away their money thus bor- Gi rowed In paying old debts, while a number a( make Judicious and well considered Invest- tr rnents in goods which in themselves are ex- p( tremely valuable, but which are not absolute- p, ly necessary In the maklug of & crop. For ej Instance; re One man spent S7.50 In buylug a pistol In t>i fifteen minutes after he borrowed it. f0 Another man paid, say 810 for a fine buggy. a. He mortgaged buggy an>l horse for the balance of tbe purchase money. Next Christ- ^ mas be bad neither horse nor buggy. n Another man immediately after borrowing money to make a crop, bought a fine set r of buggy harness, di Another man Immediately after borrowing money to make a crop, bought a fine set of buggy harness. Another bought a saddle. Some borrowed considerable money and then invested It In bank stock. The bank stock was perfectly good, and returned six ai per cent. Interest. And a few made way with their money In d: many other ways, so that in reality little of y the borrowed money was expended in making the crop. ei Taken up one side and down the other, it Is s< ju*t about as well to go to some honest merchant, give him a lien, or buy from him on b account, and abandon any idea of getting money cheap. t< " ' " L VALENTINE DANCE.

A dozen or po of ttic faithful came to towr Inst KrUlny evening and met in the Court House that night, to consider, as we under stand, the appointment of postmasters In thh Jounty. Among those present, we believe, were: Congressman-elect A. C. Latimer, of Anderion. J. R. Bullock, Greenwood. I. H. McCalla, Lowndesville. Jatnes E. Todd, Due West. J. B. Holloway, McCormlck.. F. W. It. Nance, Abbeville. Dr. E. H. Edwards, Due West. D. H. Magill, Hodges. J. Y. Jones, Abbeville. Samuel A. Miller, Monterey. J. L. Huehev. of Greenw?x?d. H. J. Klnard.of Ninety-Six. J. T. Robertson, K. E. Cox. of Abbeville. For the Green wood post office the contest ivas boiled down to Mr. Hayes and John Anlerson. In the meeting It was developed that Jayes did not support and vote for Latimer n the primary election, and this fact operated gainst him. Mr. Anderson lias the support if the Alliance. For these reason, it Is bought that he will receive the endorsement >f the caucus. Mr. ,T. L. McMillan had an easy run for the U?bevllle post office. Mr. Jennings of McCormlck is the happy elnnerof official honors. VVe have not been able to ascertain the lames of the lucky men at Due West and finety Six. The meeting lasted until about mldDight. The meeting was kept secret from the outIde public. The object of the meeting was stated to be o make a demand through Congressman Latrner that all the Presidential post-offices in he County be given to the Alliance Demcrats, and as far as it was possible for the leetlng to do so, all citizens outside of the Llllance were debarred any chance of getting ny office. The lines were strictly drawn, and Jliancemen are supposed be standing where ney stood In therecentcampaign. demanding verythlng from Coroner to Governor. Until this meeting, Judging from the public tterances of some of the distinguished leadrs in the "dominant element," we thought liere was a disposition to wipe out the faclonal lines in. the Democratic party in South arolina, and that there was at least a half an sent to restore harmony and good feeling etween Democrats In this State, out it seems iat outsiders are to be considered as aliens nd enemies.

Mr. Chalmers has been in business longer lan any man in town, and has weathered ie storm for many a year, always rising suBrlor to all tbe adverse circumstances that mfronted him, and at last yielded only when is health failed. For years be has been In delicate health, ad twice of late years he has suffered from ing confinement to bis bed. For months he as been unable to attend to any business. Except for tbe failure of bis health, Mr. halmera would now be prosperous. His excellent judgment and his cultivated iste enabled him to please the publlo for lany years in his line of goods, and his good siness methods always brought him fair reirns and enabled bim to preserve bis credit 1 the commercial world for more than thirty Bare, and for fair and honorable dealing none and better wilb the community in which he as done business for a life time. It has been nearly forty years Bince Mr. halmers went into business at Abbeville. When the war broke out be enlisted in tbe srvlceof bis county, but feeble health preanted him from doing field duty, and he was {signed to service elsewhere. In all the relations of life Mr. Chalmers has immanded the confidence and respect of his elghbors, all of whom regret the failure of Is health and his consequent retirement om business.

After several months Intense, yet patient sutJerlng, death came to the relief ol Miss Ella Sheppard last Thursday evening. All that tender nursing and skilled physicians could do could not avail. The sympathies of the entire community go out for those who mourn the dissolution of her bright young life. While returning liome last Friday Mr. Joe Jones lost his pocket book, containing 548.05. A liberal reward will be paid for its return. There has been some kicking by the citizens because ot the excessive market license. Messrs. Arnold & Taylor paid it without murmuring, and keep one of the best markets In the State. They have the very llnest meat to be had everyday In the week, and fish and oysters twice a week. They buy only the fattest young beeves and charge the same as bo Miss Winona Durst returned from a trip to Atlanta last week, and left Immediately for school at Cooper Limestone Spring*. Mr. W. V. Hly th and Miss Bell Martin arc among those who have mumps. Rev. John A. Brunson will deliver a lecture at the Baptist church here on Thursday night, Feb. loth. His subject will be: "Japau and the Japanese." Mr. Brunson spent three years in Japan. He was a keen observer of the country and people, and he understands how to tell what he saw. He will assume the Japanese dress and will exhibit many curios. It is said that the primary Is the most important department in a graded school. It is no disparagement to the other efficient teachers in our school to say that Miss Nellie Screws, who presides over the primary department, Is par excellence as a teacher. She not only possesses the power of winning the children to her?thus Imparting instruction in the most profitable way?but the tact of instilling into their yoting minds a love lor study and the power of grasping and retaining truths. I have no doubt that the teachers in the other departments are Just as proficient, but being a patron of this I speak knowingly. Mr., J. H. Wren, of Due West, was in town Thursday in search of his son, Johnnie, who had left home. Just now there seems to be a manlaamong the boys for running away. 1 have a distinct recollection of leaving home once and hiring myself to a gentleman in a far country to cut corn stalks. After riotous cutting for a few days, I fain was tired, and very glad to ride back home astride the 6mall end of the coupling pole with the tar bucket, evec though the roughness of the roads would sometimes spin usaround the pole like tops. There were whipping posts In those days. We had one at our bouse?and I wept bitterly. It is a little strange that Mr. W. H. Mays, who lsa staunch I'llimanlieand Alllancemen and an applicant lor the post office here, was not uotlfied of the conference held at Abbeville last Friday night between Mr. Latimer and the post office aspirants in this county. But as faraa I am inlormedonly his ardent supporters were expected. Mr. J. H. Oldham bad his sale of household and kitchen furniture last Saturday, and they leave for Atlanta to-day (Tuesday). The old revolutionary cabin on Mr. B. F. Yoe's place was burned last week. It was valuable only for its antiquity, having been built over UUO I1UUUICU J ci*i a ogVi xuu muubw ?> uu unoccupied, and it is supposed to have been set on fire. It was insured with Mr. S. E. Mil ler for 2200. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Bailey have returned from Florida. Mr. Bailey's Health is greatly Improved by the much needed rest from business cares and political discussions. His patience is holding out remarkably well, but there are still a few citizens who have not called in to enquire how he enjoyed his trip. It took a Hampton to remove the United States troops from this State, but a Till can bring them back. On next Thursday night, the 23rd inBtant, the K. ol P. will celebrate their first anniversary by a banquet at the hotel, at which there will be a number of guests not members ol the order. The menu cards are now In the bands of the printer. On last Monday morning as Section Master Culbertson, of the Central Road, and his bands were eoing to work they were caught by an "extra'' on the Rothrock trestle. They had to save themselves by jumping. Mr. Culbertson Is very corpulent, and where he jumped the trestle is 22 feet high. He was badly bruised and for a while it was thought he would die, but under the treatment of i)rs. Nee! and Austin he is recovering slowly and will soon be out. W batever else may come out of the railroad lltigaUon, it vouches safe to those officers who have been arrested and carried to Charleston, a clear passport into office lor the second term. I tola Sheriff Nance the first time I saw him after his installation, that be was the best electioneerer in the county. Subsequent events prove bow true and prophetlo were my words. The following correspondence explains itself: Mr. S : Dear Sir?Will you be so kind and obliging as to send me the manuscript ol your unpublished report of an entertainment. I had a dear sweet friend present, and am real anxious to know the impression she made, both In person and dress. I know yours was the opinion ot every other gentleman of taste ana rennement. we were so muca uisuppointed that your-report wan not published, wrl tteo as I ain sure It was, in your peoallar, lucid, entertaining and versatile style. How cruel that you should have been Interfered with. I almost feel like weeping profusely when ] think what a treat we missed. Very respectlully, Katlo Blank. Miss Katie?It affords me ecstatic pleasure to comply with your modest request, and herewith I send you the paragraph I had written concerning your friend. I trust it will meet your approval, and portray to your mind at least a lalnt conception of her as she really appeared?the belle of the evening. I assure you I felt highly flattered at your anticipated pleasure In reading It In print. Kind words for our feeble efforts to please are always appreciated, but never more so than those contained in your cole, emluating from the source?and at the time?they did. Very truly, S. Mr. S: Sir?Since reading the anomall6m yon sent me. I have concluded that you attempted to transcend the bounds of your reportorlal sphere, and am more than ever convinced that no man should be allowed to report anything for the press, except prize fights and campaign meetings?certainly nothing in which it ever becomes necessary to describe a lady's dress or personal appearauce?for the reason that those who suffer from color-blindness, ignorance of textile fabrics, total depravity and natural ldlooy are about equal and comprise the entire race. If what you sent me is a sample of the whole, you may thank your stars that It did not appear in print. You cay of my frleud : "She was a blithe and gushingly beautiful brunette, and appeared quite callous and polarizing In a handsome costume, en train, of lovely crimson organdie and slippers to match, with garnet and narcissi ornaments. Her modesty was in proportion to her loquacity and was lurid as she was modest." Land sukes alive! What stupendous stupidity but -'where Ignorance is bliss 'tis lolly to be wise." Any oue, but a dolt, knows that organdie is nothing but muslin?the cheapest goods on the market; that garnets are the last on the list of precious stones and almost worthless, while narcissi Is nothing but Jonqullls. A gay, yet dismal and loy brunette, dressed in red muslin en train, with garnets and Jonqullls and slippers to match, ludeed ! Where In the name 01 reason have you been raised, If raised at all ? The truth Is, my friend Is very warm-hearted, so winning and lady-llfce,?a lovely blonde, and wore a very fine embroidered silk, with compantula epauletts, aud literally bedecked with brilliants?diamonds or the flrBt water?while entwined In her silken Uesscs was an exquisite wreathlet of the rarest and most fragrant flowers. My advice to you Is, to defer further writing on social events until you have learned the definition of common place words and can distinguish a real belle from a snide one. Kale Biank. P. S.?Her slippers were of the finest satin lined Morocco, iJo. 1'/,. K. B. I have most assuredly been "raised," nevertheless I agree to all she says, except her postscript, and I am not posted on slippers. But for an apology being worse than the offence, I would make amends to her friend for so completely demolishing her gorgeous apparel in my endeavor to please. 1 have her gratuitous advice under consideration, but will likely conclude that as long as the public taste demands such society bosh, I will continue to accommodate it,?a few unintentional errors to the contrary notwithstanding. No living man can please everybody, especially if they are equally divided between old maids and dyspeptics. Hon. W. H. \eldell was In town Sunday to attend the funeral of Ills niece, Miss Ella Hheppard. In the report of a recent entertainment given In the Greenville Female College, the following taken from the Greenville News of 12th instant, will be received with delight by Miss Watson's many friends here: MissA. L. Watson has a clear, nw?et soprano voice, and in the double uumber, "A Night In Spring," and "Calm as the Night," she made an excellent impression as a singer, with good taste and expression. lion.

"Aunt Fronle" Is seventy years of age, but to see Iter stlring aromul and to hear her talk, one would suppose her to be about half that number. She is as jovial and full of life as ever.

Tt is supposed that education means book knowledge, no matter whether understood or not. They must learn; it is folly to pound into a child's head information on subjects which he cannot comprehend, for which no interest has been awakened. Then the fact that whoever is educated is selfeducated must be understood by parents, ami that self-culture must be beJgun in babyhood; it mustbe inspired by the parents, and directed by their love. [ There are many households that work in entire sympathy with the teacher: the children of such make rapid progress. The reason is that the parents keep the self-educating processes in motion; or, rather, do not hinder them. i ii Most people, when setting about their reformation or conversion, are much more anxious to spend their lives in doing difficult or . unusual things than to purify their intentions and to renounce self-will in tne ordinary duties of their position ; but this is a great mistake. Far better make less outward alteration as to actions and more inward change in the heart which prompts them. Those who are leading a decent, well-ordered life need much more interior thau extorior change when they seek to become more earnest Christians.?Fenelon. Templeton TT AS opened up at the stand of J.
