The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S.C. ^gfr*Published every Wednesday at |2 a year in advance. Wednesday, July 19, 1893. Jodie Hudson'* ueeimon. Much bas been said about Judge Hudson's recent decision In declaring the dispensary law unconstitutional. The anti papers, as a rule, extoll him to the skies as an able Judge and conscientious Jurist, while the Tillman papers have announced that because of that decision be will be relegated to the rear. Whatever the moving power In Judge Hudson, the result will be the same?somebody else will be elected to fill bis place*. Notwithstanding all the extravagant praise and the oft-repeated assertions as to bis extreme ability, his place will be filled by another. While we think tbeTillmau administration has attempted to do some unlawful and unjust things, yet the Press and Banner believes that the Courts have too often lnterferred with the butlness of the Executive department. In 1876, when the Democrats came into pow er they realised the danger of having a Judiciary Irom the Repububllcan ranks, and soon found a reason to oust them all, even before the expiration of the terms for which they bad been elected. The Tillmanites, taking the action of 1S77 ah a precedent, will likply put a stop to further annoyanoe because of the action of these Jadgea who may be politically at variance with the popular branch of the Government. Having the power to put a quietus on the disturbing element they will likely take the position, aa we did in 1877, that the ends Justify the means. What Does It Mean ? Ever since the Greenwood meeting wan advertised It baa been charged bvBomeof the newspapera that It bad a political significance, and slnoe then some of the papers have applied to themselves General Gordon's remarks about the negroes, and the Headlight nsea columns of space to prove that all the Tillmanites were greatly insulted. On the other hand, by denying that politics wae In it, some newspapers bave been foollsb enough to virtually admit that the antls bad no right to bold a political meeting. ._xne frees ana uanner odo uutkuun nuu doe# not care whether there wai politics In It or not, and we have no denial or apology for It, If there was any politics in it. We haven't so liar lost oar self-respect as to ask anybody If the anils may have a political meeting, and any assumption to deny that right Is equalled only by the misrepresentation of what General Gordon did say. Having published an abstractor General Gordon's speech In the Press and Banner, any man with a thimble full of brains ought to understand It for himself, and the charge thai be Insulted the Tillmanltes Is so utterly at variance with the fact that no man who bas Intelligence enough to understand the English language need doubt It. But It seems that the newspapers on the Tillman side are very much afraid that they will lose their power If they do not keep up a feeling of strife. Disregard of Law. It would appear from the dispatches from Charleston that that city Is lu a slate of rebellion, and a portion of the people set the laws of the State at defiance. Those deluded bar-keepers who may think that they may violate the dispensary law openly and defl antly will learn two thing?, namely: Firmt?'That the Governor is authorized to cIom up their >hopa by force; that if bis constables are not able to do It, be may call out tbe mllltla, and If tbe mllltla cannot or will not do It, that tbe regular troops of the United States army may be called upon to suppress open violations of the law. Second?That when trouble comes, those who may have enoouraged them to violate the law, will not come to their relief. Their physical force would be unavailing, and tbelr financial aid will not materialise. Charleston might Just as well conclude to fall Into line and be part of the State, whose laws she cannot override. (Will Pay for Losses*. See notice of President Lyon In refereuce to assessment to pay the first loss of the Farmers Mutual Fire Association. Tbe oompany has been In existence since last December, and this W their first loss and the first assessment. The record Is a good one. Out of more than three hundred risks, only one loss has been realized, and Its cheapness commends ltseli to every one. The Press Association meets in Columbia to-nlgbt, and many of the country editors will be Id attendance. BUBIAL OF MBS, CLEVELAND She Who wm so Lately ? Beautiful Bride, In Now In tbe Spirit Land. Mrs. Bessie Norwood Cleveland, wife ol Hon. R. Mays Cleveland of Greenville, was burled In the Episcopal cemetery at this place laat Saturday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Holly of Greenville reading tbe burial service. Mrs. Cleveland bad been an Invalid for many months, and under the wasting effects of the greatest of all tbe enemies to the human family, she gradually grew more and more feeble, until last Thursday nlgbt, when the end came peacefully and calmly. In 188t she was married In the Episcopal church at this place In the presence of a multitude of loving friends wbo wished for ner length of days and fullness of years. Tbe cburcb was decorated with flowers, and everything waa done to add pleasure to the event which promised so much of happiness. Now, a little more than four years from that scene of Joyousness, she is brought back In her cofflu, and is borne down the same aisle |ln which she lately walked, so happy ao and full of hope. Many of tbe same friends wbo rejoiced at her marriage came last Saturday to mourn for her, and to pay their last tribute of love and respect. Flowers were notable at ber wedding, and they were present at ber burial. Her sweet spirit bore incense up to Him wbo was likened unto tbe Roue of Sharon and tbe Lily of tbe Valley, and ber friend* will know ber no more. Sbe leaves a husband and two little children. IN THEIB NEW HOMES. ~ Happy Under Their Own Vine and Fig Tree. Mr. Thos. P. Quarles and bis family now occupy their beautiful new home ou tbe street leading to the new depot. It is a commodious building, affording comfort to the occupants, and presenting a pleasing view for tboae wbo pass. Adjoining tbe lot of Mr. Quarles is tbe lot of bis son-in-law, Mr. J. S. Link, on which is a new and attractive borne where the happy young people have commenced housekeeping. A host of friends extend good wishes for them and trust many years of usefulness are in store for them. Dr. 8. Q. Thomson and bis family now occupy tbe elegant home on Main street from which Mr. Quarles moved, ii is one of tbe best and most desirable bouses In town, and tbey are to be congratulated on having so nice a borne. It is a house which any one might well be proud to own. The latest to oocupy a home to themselves, an/4 tr\ mmpnr?? hnnsA Iropntnor an t.h pi r nurn account, Is Dr. and Mrs. Harrison, whr now oocupy tne Presbyterian manse, or parxonage. Their Quarters are all tbat love and refined taste could desire. They are well equipped with tbe nicest of everything that housekeepers could wish to have, and a more attractive home in which a more beautiful queen presides would be hard to dud. Smith k Song are certainly headquarters for summer clothing. MUCH ABOUT NOTHING. ] Rig Noted by the Editor in Reference to Very Kmnll Mutter* in Connec* tlon With n Trip to Athene. I Hearing that a good job press was for sale at a low price lu Athens, tlie editor of the Press and Banner weal to thai city last Thursday, Arranging Wednesday night with Mr. Fish- > er, the night watchman at the G., C. <fc N. depot, to be waked up In time to take the four o'clock train, we lay down to sleep. Daylight came and we had not been called, and we thought that the train had passed. In a little while, however. Mr. Fisher came, and announced that the train was three quarters of an hour late?that we would have a Kood ? half hour In which to meet the train; that he > had waited to give us as much sleep as possl- g ble. i We dressed as quickly as we could and as ? we landed on the side-walk we saw Mr. Hammond coming with the basket ot pigeons t which were to be liberated, and we resolved to nee them off, eveu if we missed the train. Joining the procession we followed it to the brow of the hill at the "Kutledge House." There Mr. Hammond cut the strings which I held down the lid of the basket, while the s birds exhibited signs of nervousness. When c everything was In readiness lor raising the lid,Mr. Hammond asked, "What time Is it? s Some one pulled out his watch and said t "Twenty minutes to six." Mr. Hammond said, "5:40," wheu the lid was raised, and the * bIx pigeons rose and flew "as one man," a little north ol sun rise, and, after a second, changed to a more Nortbernly direction. In an exceedingly short time they were over the hills Hnd lar away toward Philadelphia, from which city they had been Bent by express. The former basketof pigeons,seven In number, with a single exception, returned to Philadelphia. Two arrived there on the morning of the second day; two were longer on the road; two were out two weeks and oue day. The other bird was shoit by a hunter. This by way of parenthesis. When the birds were out of sight we hur- J ried down to the depot and found General and Mrs. Hemphill and a number of young < ladles waiting for the train. Besides these, 3 there were a few others In readiness to 1 take the train, if they liked it, when it came. c After remaining there awhile we learned I that the train had passed Chester only three 1 quarters of an bour. Feeling the want ol breakfast and cottee, we came buck to the 1 hotel, where the Misses McCants hurried up I "a bite." When we bad eaten breakfast we ? were much better tqulpped for the Journey, and set off for the depot ugaln. I About eight o'clock the train came, being t In charge of that polite and courteous con- I ductor, Mr. Johu Cothrun, who hasn't lost a < day from his train in a year, and who has < run his train for ten years so successfully that s no passenger in his charge has been hurt in all that time. 1 The ladles all kissed each other while the > gentleman grabbed their baggage, aud we 1 were soon on the tratn, moving rapidly toward Atlanta. On the way to Athens it 1 stopped only at Elbertou, where the engines < were changed, and some tinkeilng was done I to the under-gearing of a coach. Mrs. Hemphill and one other lady, made t up the female passengers. Mis. Hemphill was going to Moreland in Coweta County, l Ueorgia, on a trip 10 see ner uromer-iu-iuw, Rev. John L. Hemphill. General Hemphill went with her an fur as Atlanta, where be met his brother, and pnt Mr*. HemDblll in his onre. Thta Is the first trip that Mrs. Hemphill ban taken since her marriage, twenty years ago. Good luck to ber and the little ones who went with her. Athens was reached at ten o'clock?three hours late. Several vehicles of more or leu* fineness, and covered with more or tens dust, were standing at the depot. We heard one man ball Bome one as 'Professor." Anothei lustily orled out, "Doctor." Our attention was directed In another direction, but we recognized that the voices were pitched ax 11 calling some one In cIohc proximity, but took no thought that they wer? addressing the editor ot the Press and Banner until some of the drivers In a more pathetic tone than the rem cried out, "Colonel." Looking around allei this, a full line of hackmen beckoned to u> with arms extended and estimated at from two to four leet In length. They immediate ly understood tbat we did not want a vehicle. Feeling thai we did not care to da*h up to the hotel in a great lumbering hack at an odd time of the day, we spread our umbrella and proceeded up tue hill towards the Marchanuhotel. The morning was hot for true, and the streets were sunny?almost without shade. Waoderlnic along up toward the "water stand" or whatever else you might call tb* great irou cylinder tbat hud been set on end iu iiwiii wttwi, wc (Jtuwru a uvi.ic uuuos nucic i mi old woman, in tbe story which was telling her neighbor, gave evidence of the greatest > dUtress ol mind. Her John had been miBS- t tog ever bo long, and she could get no i(dings | ol him. He never would stay at home when t be had any money, but would spend both hi* time and bis money at the old drinking aa- i loon. ' i Further on tbe way up town we passed a number of men working the street, and till- y lag tbe gullies in tbe vldcwaik. About half t dozen of these men were in chains. Ever} i one struck bis pick at the same time, i After registering at tbe Merchants Hotel, i we set out for the office of the Athens Ban * ner, where we met as warm a welcome as auy < man could wish. The Banner Is one of the old institutions of the city, aud is one of tbe papers which Mr. Larry Uantt once edited. From the Banner office we went to tbe office : of the "Woman's Work," and we spent a lit- : tie time there very pleasantly. At each ol these offices we caught on to plans and meth ods which were new to U6. In this way, the J trip was both pleasant and profitable. But ; we failed to find a Job press. At dinner we met Caj)t. Cloud of the G., C. t & JN. railway, ana or course we aia not neglect to pump him ou the question of the shops. He said tbat he would be in Abbeville this week, with a view to making arrangements lor the contractors to go to work, perhaps next week. He said, however, that there was a hitch in the removal of the Laurinburg Bhops; that the machinery belonged to another branch of the system, and objection was raised. This editor rode over the Btreet lines of railway. and saw the best partof the city?the finest houses and the prettiest grounds. It is a city of magnlhceDi distances and elegant homes. , It is a city of some ten thousand Inhabitants, and many evidences of wealth were present. We were told that the G? C. <fc N. had Injured the business of Athens; tbat the best of it now goes to Atlanta. The distance is only sixty-seven miles, and three trains pass dally between Elberton and Atlanta. There are several manu tacturlng establishments at Atbens, namely: Two Iron foundries and machine shops; two large cotton millB; two paper mills, and a Jug factory. Returning to the hotel we met Capt. Cloud again, when we walked about ibe city for awhile, finally coming to the great steel rail way bridge wblcb spans the river. Its track Is elghty-tlve feet above the Water, and the P|^au OWIWOO l/UWUUVI kUMOV WW Wf VI inu huudred feet In length. . Stopping In tbe shade, we viewed the steel bridge with wonder and admiration. Capt. Cloud says the building or Iron bridges hus , been reduced to a science?thut there is now no guess work about It. Tbe architect of the bridge upon determining the length of the span and ascertaining the weight of the trains to be run over It, knows the exact size that every piece ot steel must be. together with the number and size of all tbe bolts. When the steel Is being prepared at tbe works every piece Is subject to vchemlcal test, and If any piece fails to come up to the requirement, U Is thrown out, and a better piece Is substituted. Every Joint and every bolt Is careiully examined as tbe bridge Is being built, and It, upon tbe severest test, tbe bolt is weak or ' loose or otherwise deficient, a big chalk mark Is put around It, and the builders must drill it out. The bridge does not yield, even under the pressure of the heaviest train. It was now nearly ttme for tbe Atlanta train to! leave tbe depot. Captain Cloud went 10 the depot and thlB editor remained on the gross in the shade, weary and tired, enjoying the dellghtlul breeze that came. Our collar had melted down completely, and we felt as If we wanted to see no one, and we remained In the quiet spot waltlug for tne train which was to bring us home, Reading the day's paper we feel asleep, with (] tbe paper over our face. Afterwards, " awakeued by footsteps In close proximity, our first thought was, that somebody imagined that he bad found a seat for the Corouor, J and listened to bis movements with Interest J; until we remembered how a negro had stolen " Carl Wosmansky's breeches last week while he was In Long Cane Creek, the thought suddenly came over us that the darkey plight " be taking more Interest In the shoes which , lay near by than In the possibility of finding , a Job tor the Coronor, so we raised up, and , asked him If it was neariy time for the north- , bound train. He said that the "Bob Tall" u which stops at every station would be along qbout sundown, but he thought we woulu j want to to on the train that didn't stop any- 1 where between here and Elberton. Thai I train would come along half an hour later-| > than the "Bob Tail," and he passed on. * Lingering on the grass. In the delightful | e breeze, viewing the stretches of green grass I ? in the bottoms and admiring the fields oi J5 waving corn tliat covered the receding hill the lime soon passed. Boys appeared on the other side of the ,a stream, and drove the cows awuy. A South- ,, bound train passed over the bridge, and a lit- , tie later Mr. Cason, in his pump car, passed " in the same direction. Contraction lu the .. great Iron bridge commenced, the sun had , ceased to cast its shadows, and the evening " shades began to appear, so we pulled on the tl extra goods which we bad laid aside. Going "J to the depot, "Bob Tall" was promptly on ^ hand, and half hour later the train ior Mon- * roe pulled up, and lu an Instant we were of! for the home which we reached at ten o'clock. Whether the ends and purposes of one's trip are accomplished or not, it is often well * logoawaylrom home occasionally. While we saw much to admire In the grand old city of Athens, yet we came home satisfied with f our own unpretentious village, and the busl- " ness which we are doing io our own little olr I ei flee. j y m I m g( Parasols and umbrellas at cost.

Pe These remarks will suffice as introductory tr3 /o my purpose, and 1 announce the following Induction from the text ad a theme suitable d for lb Is occasion: ' e(" The patriotic spirit is closely allied with religovs sentiment. cal 1 am fully persuaded that this proposition P? s directly opposed by very mucb of the sen- f*n iment formulated and expressed in the pul- ur) )it. j I, nevertheless, ask your attention to the ve ouslderatlon of this theme, bellevlDg it to )e true. There are five leading sentiments which H? ire prominent among all people. These Ht iomlnate our race. Tbey are, the social, the sivll, the military, the commercial aud the Pe ellgiouB. r? All human action Rprlngs from one or all . J )f these great incentives to motion, activity P1 ind enterprise. To answer their behests, the wheels of com- Kr' nerce are put into activity. The social clr- ??' :le hums with the shouts of gay and happy evelers. 101 The lobbyist and civilian take the hustings Pf uid publish their respective creeds to anxious 1 inu hungry devotees. * The tap of the war-drum, and clash of the 8D, labre arc music to the soldier, and he seeks 1 'sme aud renowu in the daring deeds of his jalllng. The Church of God Is the arena for acta of Pr! jenevolence. Here the sulritof philanthropy / itlrs the heart and fires the brain. And the toldler loves his calling und bis country no trJj ess because he worships the Christian's God. nlJ These great Incentives to action are so ciOBe- ' y blended by all the ties of Interest, policy, empor.il and future safety, that our propoiltlon connecting two of them In a close 110 anion, Is almost self-evident, notwlthstandog the common plea, that the martial spirit s directly opposed to the religion of Jesus.

His, young son, Gideon, was a pious, >erotc and patriotic youth. But seeing the legation which had befallen his country, ie could do nothing but await the divine dl , ectlon. On a certain day this young Prince was 2 hreshlug wheat in an old wine press where ne, ie had concealed himself from the foe: / vhere the angel of God appeared unto him with the assurance that God would deliver WJJ Israel out of the hands of their foes through lis leadership. A, But kuowlug that seven years of disaster ~.1 ind defeat had enervated, if not destroyed, he courage and patriotism of his people, he vas unwilling to go against the immense 011 innitB of Oreo and Zeba, leaders ol the ar- ?' nies of Midian. without positive assurance ?f God's personal direction. To give the xsnurance God gave him, in he miracle of "Gldeou'u fleece," the sure to- * cen of divine aid. r~l Theo.Gldeou began the task of reorganizing ,u the broken and ccattered army of Israel: , ind at last he was able to muster 82,000 men: 1 vhile thf forces of Midian aud AmaleK were ?u! aid to be like grasshopper*, innumerable, ^ hoir ?nnipiM in number like the sand n, iti tbe sea shore. With this army of 32,000 warriors Gideon jitched his caiun on tbe hill allies overlook- / ng the vulley of Jezrui, where the united 8j0 orces of the confederate foe were strongly en- Wb renched. no And there, under the pale blue sky of tbe jj ast, while the start looked down from above, flr{ letween tbe hours of midnight and early uu lawn 3,200 years ago was fought the famous lattle of Jezrul, between Gideou, the sou of loasb, and Oreb and Zeba kings of Mldlan Cltt .nd Amalek. t|0 The earth was their altar, God was their j8j, udge, and all luture ages are to become the i ?ltuesses of their deeds. ?Xi 3. Tbe spirit of patriotism In young Gld- Qu ou was equaled ouly by bis piety and devoIon to God, and the cause of religion. yp, Where the three elements of a righteous 8lll ause, patriotic devotion, and an abiding alth in God are prominent In tbe soldier, he lecomes almost Invincible in the day of batle. at.i With these elements combined, sending h|s way 31,700 or the 32,000 men who composed tju us army, Gideon met Amalek at Jezrul with j inly tbe remaining 800 men, whom God had ^0| ppolnted to defend Israel, yui And with that little army, flred with patrl- un( itlc zeal and strengthened by their ialth in j ?od, before the dawn of morning camo, 120.- \yi 00 of Mldlan's warriors lay gaping in death yoi n the bloody Held of Jezrui. lug That battle shout was beard above thedlu j, f tbe fight. That peculiar wlerd and wild tou par cry: "The sword of the I/ord and of o0 lideon" connecting tbe glory of God and it,e he destinies of the people under the protec- |,he ion ol a coinmou awuru, was prupueiii/ ui y ertaln victory. to I I would not have you, young gentleman, ^ >ut too much stress upon the Impious re n nark of Bonaparte when he said that "God r0| s on the Hide which has the heaviest guiis." Btia For that remark, curried to its Inst logical ^ naljsls, must always put Ood on the strong- the st side, whether right or wrong. ete Just here you may discover one of the se- x rets of Xapoleon'B ruin?"Want of laltb lu soi( iod" and His divine providence. bvvc When he made that lemark all Europe whs d|e thlsleet- He held the sword which hud cru ullt half the Ihrones of Europe, and those Iirones were then occupied.

U8U one 'o offer further proof In vindication of pyi: 9 deduction made from the text, I wish In Aft 3 next place to show that recognition of the Iglous claims has always been the stand- ope I and measure of military success. and ?be greatest military achievements In the vll) tory of the world, have been wrought ter er suitable offerings to religion bad first ma: en made; thus showing the recognized al- wbi nee between the martial spirit and reiig- ban issentlmeut. wer do not mean by these remarks that all con the great leaders In war have been gen- M nely pious; but I do mean to say that the tlo< llltary men of all times, who bave won Al alnction and renown In the arts of war. no* at of all recognized the claims of their bus >ds, and honor them with suitable acta ot M llglous worship. can Nils was especially true of the ancient T irrlor. Their notions of God and religion ha* ire coarse and sometimes even revolting; froi t they nevertheless paid high tribute to tbe sir Gods as the surest pledge of success In spe tile; lbu6 linking their martial destiny lltt d military renown with tbe glory ot their wh >ds. So, That the scrupulous devotion of tbe sold- troi s to the claims of religion among the Ro- crit ans was the chief source of their rigid die- R illne and military power cannot be de- con ed. spe t"he fact that the Gods of ancients, and re- da; ion of tbe Pagan were unreal, frequently M b grossest conceptions of an anxious long- wet i only, does not change the fact tbat their wll trlotlsm and their religious sentiments Lat ire closely allied. I am not discussing the has aracter or their religion. has ^et me now call your attention to the re- tos rded statements of the most renowned mil- M iry characters of all times ; Kal . Caesar said, after he had beaten '-Pom- Car us the Great" In battle: "The Gods whom A i honor and whom we worship are our de- urd ice." M Lad you remember that Caesar's legions hoc same almost Invincible In battle. "J . Alexander, son and heir of Philip. King mo Macedon, had aucb a high regard lor the gra ids of Greece aud the religion of his coun- to r \ that the sacrifices and offerings which Ii made to secure their favor, cost his coun- tatl ' almost as much as the equipage of his and my me i. Hannibal, whose equal In military prow- sho i is rarely known, said : "The Carthage- bef< ins could not conquer the Romans be- M use the Gods of the Romans were more frle werful than the Gods of Carthagenlans, son d because the Romans always made war Frii der the direction of their Gods."
