Greenwood, S. 0., March 27,18 Editor Press and Banner: Your correspondent had the pleasure terday of attending preaching at Jit. L non church near New Market. The sere a synopsis of which is given below, wai llvered to a large and appreciative audit by Rev. M. M. Brabhiim, pastor. His text was the first four verses of fourth chapter of Proverbs: "1. Hear ye children the instruction of ther and attend to know understanding. "2. For I give you good doctrine, forsake my law. For I was my father's sou, tender only beloved in the sight of my mother. "J. He taught me also, aud said unto let thine heart retain my words, keep commandments, and live." He said, it is no small matter to assume responsibility of parentage. In the pr< training of children It Is of vast Import* that there should be co-operation on the ] ;>f the parents. As a rule, mothers are n zareful aud more faithful than fathers in proper training of their children. This 1; doubt due to the fact that the mother Is reason of circumstances, more closely a slated with her children than the fathe ind for this reason Is In a better posltlo ippreclate the responsibility of their pre education. Many good business men often fall bert Lbelr wives do not co-oporate with then: Lhey should. The wife, in her extra vagal jften spends faster than the husband make, thereby bringing him toan early ba uptcy. Sometimes a failure In life is due to the 1 sand's extravagance and bad managemen To guarantee success in life there shouli i hearty co-operation on the part of botb 1 jand and wile. Partnts should teach their children to i 3are not only lor huh nre dui ror etern The father and mother are responsible :heir existeuce and for this reason, if foi Mher, should feel It their most sacred dut; iducate and protect the interest of their c Iren whom God in ills divine wisdom i goodness has seen fit to give them. Home ents try to shift the responsibility of tri ng their children on the teachers and S lay School Superintendent. Parents, t inn only aid you, but the responsibilitj raining your children rests on you y< ielves. Parents tiro required to teach tl children becau.se ot the absolute ignoranc he child who must depend upon others nformatlon and protection. The child is lolutely irresponsible for this Ignorance i lependence. Another reason why pare hould properly train their children is t IjQir own children will exert an lnflue iver other people's children. Your child i nine are going to exert an influence overc Iren yet unborn. The greatest talent t Tod has given us is wrapped up In our c Iren They are our children only for the tl leing, but belong to God. The tendency luman nature Is evil. With rare exceptions, there can be no gi baracter formed unless good impressions arly made.

C., March 31.?The following communication has been sent by the a in- South Carolina delegation to President Cleveland: not To Mr. President: You are aware of the unfortunate factional division In the deraoand cratlc party In South Carolina. It did not arise by reason of any national issue, but me, was the result of an effort looking to the reray formation of the local government ol that State. The factions are known as "reform" the and "antl-reforiu." iper xhe undersigned members of congress reince present what Is known in South Carolina as part the relorm element in local politics. We jore have made every effort consonant with the the dlcnity of the positions we hold In lairness 'no and Justice to equitably alvlde the patronage .by or our State in a delegation meeting, butfallsso ej on account of the minority refusing to cor is, operate with us lu a proposition in Hue with n to a custom that has prevailed lmmemorlabiy >Per in congress. [ It is now your province to settle tins matluse ter according to what to you seems good and 1 as proper. At a meeting of the undersigned we ace> unanimously agreed to recommend Hun. w*11 Sampson Pope, ol Newberry county, S. C., for the position of marshali; Hon. I. H. McCxlla, of Abbeville county, S. C., lor collector ol Inbus terual revenue; Hon. Joseph H. fcarle for ' United Stutes district attorney; and Hon. A. * be M. Youmans, of Hampon county, S. C., for au8* collector at the port of Beaufort. All of these names belong to our (action, Pre" except the Hon. J. H. Karle, who was the ity- nominee for governor of the other faction ",r against Governor B. R Tillman iu 1S90. Hitr 00 attitude toward our faction since that time y J.? has been that of a conservative in the stricl sense of the word, and he occupies the pecuand liar and striking position of standing bePa" tween the two factious, enjoying the conflaln" dence and respect of both. We concede this un" position to him. because we know that his ap >,0y pointment would give universal satisfaction ' ?* and pleasure to both factions. We honestly 5ur" believe that we are entitled to three-fifths of Jelr this patronage on account of the numercal e o1 strength of our faction, it being 60,000 out of '?r the 00,000 white democratic voters of the ab: State. anu We iiope that you will regard this as our !.n , appeal for the recognition of the democrats "Hl whom we have the honor to represent In our nci* State.
