The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE S. C. ^"Published every Wednesday at ?2 a year in advance. Wednesday, June 21, 1893. Profanity in the Pnlpif. Rev. J. Lowrle Wilson, D. D., of this village, delivered a sermon last Sunday oa some or the sins of the present day, and among other things be entered a strong plea against the oft-repeated' and irreverent use of the name of the Almighty in the delivery of sermons. Speaking for the Press and Banner we think we have heard in listening to one sermon more irreverent useof the name of oar Maker than we bave beard on the street corners for years. For instance: In forty minutes we beard r?n? nrnnohpr RftV "God" 8S times. In forty-six minutes, we he$rd another preacher say "God" 129 times. One at least of the reverend brethren used "be damned," "hell," and "damnation," without special stint. It seems to us that only the unrighteous are forbidden the Irreverent use of the name of the Almighty, while professing Christians and preachers In the pulpit may use such words at liberty. Do they not violate the commandment, and do they not do It uoblushlngly in the presence of ladles and children, desecrating the holy temple Itself with the lorms of speech which no gentleman would dare to adopt in the presence of ladles in our store?, on our streets, or in their parlors? The veriest scapegrace on the streets would not so far violate the proprieties as to use profanity In the presence of preachers and ladles, and yet may not an ordained minister of the church do this great thing In our most sacred places of worship? Dae WeNt. The commencements at Due West are on, and the town is full of Iriends from all sec. tlons of the oountry. The commencement in Erekine took place yesterday, and the cominanm>mont. In the Female College comes ofl today. Abbeville always has representatives at tbe Athens of Abbeville when these litera' ry feasts take place. They are fine Institutions and m a thousand ways Abbeville has attested her friend' ship In these colleges. City Hospital. Why cannot the Doctors and the people establish a hospital at Abbeville for tbe scientific treatment of difficult diseases, and where important surgical operations may be performed ? It seems that suoh an institution would answer a public demand, and be a source of profit Those who were able to pay could pay, and provision might be made for others who may not be able to pay. THE DISBENSABY. The Dispenser and His Salary. Tbe dispenser Mr. R. E. Hill, has been commissioned. He has accepted tbe position, and bus ordered tbe Intoxicants or various kinds, aggregating some 81,200, and It is sup posed that the dispensary will be ready to open tbe next morning after the bars are closed. Tbe bars are going on as usual, but tbelr time will be out next Saturday week. Application has been madefor United States license for tbe dispensary. Tbe salary of tbe dispenser has been fixed at $1,000 a year, which seems to be low enough. All tbe necessary books and blanks are now in the bands of tbe Auditor and the Dispenser. The store recently occupied by Perry, as a bar, will be tbe place to find your whiskey after tbe first or July. The public will watch with much Interest the result of this experiment, and if it does not reduce tbe evils of the drink habit, the temperance people will never rest unlll something is done which will help the public morals by tbe removal of tbe temptation as well aB by the enactment of laws of restraint. OLD MEN. Remarkable Longrevety of Men In the Level Land Neighborhood. Mr. Joshua Ashley of Level Land Is one of tbe best far me re In Abbeville county, and has lived a remarkable life. Since be was married, sixty-five years ago, be bas never bought more than ten bushels of corn, and now baa on hand considerable grain which be wlsbea to sell. He and bis wife were married at nineteen years of age, and to them were born thirteen children, all of whom reached manhood or womanhood except three. They lived to gether for a little over sixty years, and the union wait happy and unbroken until a few years ago, upon the deaih of bis wife. Mr. Ashley will be eighty-three years of ate on his birthday, which is next January. Tbe Level Land neighborhood has in it more old men than any neighborhood of which we know anything. Among tbe old mentbereare: Moses Ashley,92; Williams Black, 80; RobertStucky, 89; Joshua Ashley, 83. All these old people seem to be In good health, and are remarkable for their strength. Some of them appear to be not more than sixty years of age. Mr. Josbua Ashley drove to town yesterday in a buggy, coming alone from bis home, a distance of thirteen miles from Abbeville Court Uou6e. WILL OPEN EVERY SUNDAY. The Power and Effect or Example. Dr. A. B. C. Lindsay of this county, a member of tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, which is noted for the strict observance of tbe Sabbath day. is the owner of one of the finest fields of cotton to be found In this section of the country. Although tbe Doctor bas kent tbe faith of bfs fathers from his youth up to this time, yet tbe evil example of the commissioners Id opening tbe gates of tbe Worlds Fair on Sunday bos extended to tbe Doctor's fields, which commenced last Sunday morning to open cotton blooms, and It la announced that blooms will be open all day In bis fields every Sunday during tbe season, despite tbe Doctor's pious training aud religious scruples. It will be useless to sue tbe courts for restraining orders, aud any boycott by Sunday scholars who may decllDe to pick cotton for bim uext fall will be equally unavailing. Tbe blooms will be open every Sunday, as usual. ' . THE G., C, & N. Mr. Winder In Abbeville on BurIiipnn. Superintendent Winder ol the U., C. <fc N. came to Abbeville one day last week to close tbe trade about the shops. As we understand tbe situation, tbe matter Is now complete, but the exact terms of tbe agreement we cannot now state. We believe Mr. Winder has promised to put a large force at work on tbe shops in tbe month of July. A number of gentlemen In Abbeville have obligated themselves to pay tbe road 814,250 011 tne first day of December, the town bonds having been placed as security to the citizens who thus assume the liability?these gentlemen are virtually the buyers of the bonds. BEDECKED, WITH BANNERS FLYING. Whole Car Loads or Tobacco Go By In Trlnmpbal Train* Over tbe G., C., * X. One day last week a full car load of tobacco passed over the G.. C. & N. Railway to Atlanta. Tbe car was ornamented with gaily banners and waving flags which floated in tbe breeze as the train rushed along the iron highway over the hills to the Gate City. The G., U. & N. is one of the most popular roads in the South and passengers go out their line of travel to take passage on their swift gliding cars. Quite a pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Hammond on last Monday evening by a few of our young people. Misses Ida and Nora Hammond had Invited a few friends in honor of their guest Miss Emma Sbeppard, of Greenwood, who has been spending a few days with them. The writer thinks he can safely say the evening was a pleasant one for all concerned. Miss 8beppard returned to her home Tuesday, much to tbe regret of the many friends she made while here, but has promised to visit our town again In the near future, and we all hope she will not forget her promise, but will come again real soon K.
