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.

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.

This has been perhaps tbe most satlslactory till
school year In the history of Abbeville. tot
it has been in fact, a free school, to which Eleven
tbe poorest were welcome, and the mau- u 1
agenoent has been all that tbe most exacting tll<
could expect. tor
If there has been any dissatisfaction we are
not aware of the fact, while all seem well 111
pleased. alS
It Is a matter of universal regret that Pro- he)
fesKor Moncrleff and Miss Wicker contem- t

lore and better milk and butter since tb
monstrous proposition" was forced upon t
ban before. It is true that tbeu, each of t
wned several bead of cattle, worth perhaf
fteen or twenty dollar* a dozen, now ever
ue of us owns from one to two cows, that
ould take twenty to thirty dollars to bu
ich one. Hurrah ! for the change.

Presentment of Grand Jury.
June Term, 1893.
To Hon. J. J. Norton, Prtsidin
udge:
We respectfully submit for yoi
consideration tbe following:
That ?ve bave passed upon all bill
f indictment banded to us by tb
iolicitor.
That we have by com mi tee of ou
ody t-ince tbe last Term of tbe coui
xamlned all tbe Couuty offices, an
ud them well kept, and all mone>
' 1 * 1 k?? Ion? Til

ddu <1 reports of the Treasurer, Coui
y Commissioners, and bchool Con
jissioner have beeD examiued, an
/e find uothing irregular, and cous<
uently no complaints to make.
We have had complaiut made to u
bat the County Commlfeionirs ha\
lot enforced the law as to removin
afts&c. trom the streams, particula
y iu Little River from Pratt's She a
j the mouth. We deem it importat
bat this matter should be attended t<
nd that, if necessary, they have
one and charge the costs up to th
iud owners, to be col'ected as the la'
irects.
We recommend that the Audit*
jove from the office now occupied b
im into the oue used by the Count
Jommiasioners, which is next to th<
f the Treasurer, and that a small wiu
i>w be made in the wall betweeu th
wo believiug that the change wl
sake it much more convenient fc
be public and these officers. But
f these officers concur with us i
bis recommeudatiou. This chaun
nil make it ueue^ary for the Cou
y Commissioners to occupy the o
ce uow used l<y the Auditor.
We have by committee visited th
*oor House. We hud many thins
o commend in the management, y<
yel called upon to dinct the attentio
f thb Court to matters wnicn we tmu
emand immediate attention. Som
r the very old and infirm iumates d<
ot get tbe attention they should bavi
articulary as to their bedding, w hie
i uot kept as cleanly as it should b<
hese parties are unable to do (hi
rork for therrwlves, and tbe fcjtewar
lould have it done for them. Thei
re reports made to us of immoral prat
ces occurring there with some of th
j mates and outside parties. We r<
>mmend that the County Commis
oners post not.ces that all partie
tsiring to go there must get writtei
ermits from them, aud that partie
ho viwit there without perm'ssiou b
jnsidered trespassers and nrosecute
j such. We would also recommem
lat the Ste ,vard be required to stay 01
ie premises all the time, or else bav
>rae one in bin place when away, wh
in actively attend to his duties, am
ho will enforce this rule as to tre&
assert*. Several of tbe bouses ou
lere should be whitewashed, and w<

We recommend lhat the Couut:
ommiBsioners purchase for tbi
rnud Jury room eighteen chairs, a
e tiud that they are very mud
eeded.
By committee we have visited thi
ill We rt-commeud that the iusid

We have examlued the reports of ai
