LOGAN, of Charleston, * Is not authorized to take advertisements for this newspaper. tr ui Wednesday, July 26, 1893. ? ?????? In AdvertUlnr Airenta and Gnlllible w Newspaper*. b< A? a rule, the newspapers are always gen- ^ erous towards schools and colleges. We be- (j| lleve that they aeltom deny any reasonable ai request for the publication of notices of ed- ^ ucatlonal Institutions. Not satisfied with the former generosity & on the part of the newspapers. Borne of these ^ Institutions are forming combinations with a alleged newspaper advertising agents for the o! purpose of still further beating ^he printers| Q| and putting money In the pocketfc of middle VI men. For instance: Sometime ago Prof. D. B. A Johnson and Mr. Roaweli T. Logan entered |i into a combination of this sort whereby Mr. w Logan would make a liberal commission by handling the advertisement which Mr. John- r? aon virtually admitted bis Incompetency to D manage, or burnished proof of his lack of a E willingness to do the necessary work In send- d ing oat the advertisements of the Wlntbrop Training School. This advertisement was offered to the Press and Banner at half price and was promptly declined. The matter be- ^ ing mentioned before the Press Association ^ last week, it dropped out that other newspapers bad been made the same offer, and the H money bad been returned. c< Now, we will ask Prof. Johnson and Mr. Rosewell T. Logan what became of the money w which was so returned. Whether true or not, jt we are under the impression that Mr. John - ti , son paid to Mr. Logan public money which ,r has not yet been expended. g, Let Mr. Logan and Prof. Johnson give, if oc they have acted'right, an itemIsed statement of this bidden affair. ti A little broad open daylight on this little transaction would no doubt be refreshing. <*' Last week Mr. Rosewell T. Logan sent us the Citadel advertisement, with instructions w to charge him $6, less 25 percent. To get that 01 advertisement in five indies, It would be set in nonpareil, as solid as a brick. We generally gave It a good heading and charged for it 96. Mr. Logan can't come his agency game on the Press and Banner. If be represented dl himsell as our agent, be did an unauthorized H act, as we now employ no agents, and allow p, no one any agent's commission. fl< The Press and Banner can live without 01 ? either the advertisements of the Wlntbrop 0 . Training 8chool or the Citadel, and If they appear In these col urns they will do so at full ^ rates, except in cases where we raaybewllliny to make accessions to the institutions fr themselves. A Mr. Logan may go to the principals of these 31 Institutions and have their orders to thin bl newspaper stopped, but we make this public w announcement that Rosewell T. Logan is not 0i authorized to act as agent for the Press and Banner. He can get no advertisement inserts ^ ed In this paper except at regular rates; and 0i if advertisers choose tolbire him to do their F work, be is their agent and not ours. " We feel that we are fully oompetent to at- it tend to onr own business, whatever the Win- ol tbop Training School may think of its yi own ability to attend to small matters, and s) however willing the Citadel Academy may Ci be to divert a little money Into tbe pockets of ^ tbelr neighbor Cbarlestonlan. it 11 ' n ti Impolitic Southerners. vl Tbe Southern people, as a rule, are consist- w ently Impolitic. Charleston In her overrigbteousness seems J" disposed to set tbe dlspeusary law at open defiance, and her newspapers and the despatches which are sent out from that city In reference to the arrest of violators of tbe law has had the eflect of Incensing a large proportion w of the people from the oounty where the law e| Is obeyed. r< As a matter of policy. It would have been cl better for Charleston to have yielded grace ? - ? _ ? tally, than toaalfer tbe bumlllailon of being; made to do later on what she should bave 1" done at first. 5 Tbe Preaa and Banner believes tbe Charleston and tbe Columbia papers know very little A of tbe sentiment of tbe people outside or ei tbelr own cities. It seems to os tbat tbe peo- v pie 01 Charleston are laboring under some delusion tbat they can now lead or bulldoze tbe jcountry people. 1: Tbe account* sent oat about tbe action of tbe city people In the arrest of one Cblcco who thought to make money by vlolat' h log the dispensary law, has Incensed many cl people, and If It has excited Indignation g against Tillman anywbere, we have not b beard It, though tbe act may bave furnished 11 occasion for those who ?ire opposed to the n law, to make further expression. si It may be some gratification to speak of the State constables as spies, but we fall to see wherein they are more chargeable with being si ' spies" than are other detectives. r Tbe feet is, tbe dispensary law has shut up b a large number of bar rooms In Charleston, 41 and the newspapers seem to be greatly exercised thereat. The prohibitionists everywhere are gratified at tbe curtailment of tbe ft drink habit * ? i m v MARRIAGE. J r;7 ^ p Rev. T. T. B.

After tbe ceremony congratulations were extended and the bridal couple left on the first train fora bridal trip. They will retarn to Abbeville where they will make tbelr home. Tbe bridals a most estimable young lady and has hosts of friends in Orangeburg, and we wish for ber as many here. 0 Tbe groom Is a promising young minister of ? the Baptist cburcn of this city, and is much t| * - beloved by his entire congregation and highly esteemed by our people. a We extend to them a hearty welcome, s wishing them many bright and happy years. rr.llr F iruj anin* Troy, 8.

Surprise Is felt at the report of the great destitution which exists In and around Mo- j CormlcK in the matter of Bibles. Many 1 families are stated to be without a Bible. Especially when we recollect that the Abbeville ' District Bible Society, which meets In annual j meeting at Abbeville on the2oth instant, has j offered to supply Bibles to the County, and j also the fact that a Branch Society was form- 1 ed at McCormlck for the special purpose of ( overlooking that community. The following resolutions were passed by 1 the District Society at Its annual meeting In 1888, and have been circulated In the county, In evidence of sincerity : Resolved. 3. That the Branch Societies are requested to send to the Librarian (W. A. Templeton) of the District Society a memorandum of the Bibles and Testaments needed to meet the demand for them in their respective communities. And to the Treasurer (W. A. Templeton) as large contributions as they can of money, when practicable, exceeding the value of the books needed, so that poorer and more destitute communities may be supplied, and that the librarian be authorized to supply the destitution as far as practicable. Resolved, 4. That the Branch Societies and " "'"k nf ???i? chnrph In Abbeville County are requested to make an active canvan so as to ascertain the families In their respective communities who are without the Script ureB, and report the same to the Prescient (Rev. W. M Urler. D. D.) of this Society. Resolved, 5. That the Branch Societies are authorized to donate books to needy persons wbo are unable or unwilling to pay for them, but In all cases to sell the Bibles, if practicable. Resolved 0. That every church in the county be urged to make a contribution In money to this Society, and whenever practicable to take up a collection for its benefit. Resolved 7. That the District Society will always sell to applicants Bibles and Testaments at actual cost, and donate them In esses where the applicant Is unable to pay for them. It was also subsequently resolved that the Society would furnish Bibles and Testaments merits to Sunday schoolB atone half the aotual costs of the books. Thus it will be seen that the District Bible Society Is willing; and offers to furnish Bibles and Testaments to all persons needing them at cost, half cost, or for nothing, and it calls upon all Christians to assist them In this work. The responsibility for any destitqtlon In the matter of Bibles rests with the Branch Societies and the churches of the County. Greenwood Noted. Greenwood, S. C., July 24,1893. The meeting of the District Conference of the Woman's Missionary Society at Mt, Lebanon last Saturday was one of unusual Interest. Large crowds were present both Saturday and Sunday. The meeting on Saturday was presided over by Mrs. J. W. Greene, District Secretary. Prayer was offered by Mrs. M. D. Wlghtman. Miss Tudle Gradon was appointed temporary secretary. The pastor, Rev. M. M. Brabham, made a abort and appropriate talk. ADDRESS OF WELCOME BY MRS. J. JJ. LIPS. comb. Dear friends and sisters of the Cokesbury District: We see here to-day cheerfulness and evidence of hope on all faces. If it were possible to cbauge the scene to ten years ago we would Bee in this church on preaching Sandays a small congregation at Sunday school. On other Sundays aoout an average of fifteen persons present, A woman's missionary society scarcely in existence. I say scarcely, for we had no organized society, but every year there was a small amount sent to the woman's Board of Missions from Ml. .Lebanou Sunday school, This was from thecbildren and ladies. These faithful few labored on, although our pastor predicted that In a few more years Lebanon cburch would be discontinued, yet that most comforting text that "where two or three are gathered together In my name there am I lu the midst of tbem," was fully appreciated by ub. To-day we have a live Sunday school and Woman's Society, a small but earnest Juvenile society. Not in a boastful spirit do I make these statements, but it is only as an example of God's reward of faithful effort? an answer to earnest prayer. My sisters, It Is with Joyful hearts we greet you, and those that remember the days of our meagreness can scarce I y realize mat our nonorea leaaers and tUe district society Is within oar bounds. We bid you welcome to our cburcb, our homes, and our hearts are with you in the work you have so zealously undertaken. The The same faithfulness that characterized those few of old la still araonfr us. We will be true to our trust. Though our homes are bumble, our hearts are sincere. We can but ' give you our best in the name or Him who delighted to visit the homes of the poor and humble. We bid you welcome. The response to the address of welcome written by MIks Josle Langiord of Prosperity, was read by Mrs. Humbert. It was ably prepared and watt highly appreciated by all whose privilege It was to hear it read. We are sorry we ounnot lurulsh a copy or address as (heoriginal has been misplaced. Mrs. J. W. Humbert, Suite Secretary, made statements of the financial and spiritual condition of home and foreign mission work. There aje 163 societies iu South Carolina, with a membership of 5,310, In the United States 3,000 societies with a total member&hlp of 70.390. Interesting papers were raid by MIrs Josle B. Chapman, State Secretary of the Javenile Society, Mrs. C. G. Waller, and Mrs. W. E. Clark. A love feast was conducted Sunday morning by Mrs. Wlghtman In which many teati- 1 fled for Christ. i After the love feast Rnv. Mr. Brabham preached an ttble sermon from Romans lOtn chap., 1st and 2J verses. The afternoon services were devoted specially to the children who, by request, ocoupled the front seats. An address ol welcome was delivered to the Juvenile Society by Miss Uooi-I Pnlflmun We wish we had the time to give a full account of the uiauy Interesting tilings that were sutd at Lebanon. A collection was taken up wltb which to buy Chinese curiosities for the Mt. Lebanon children. Mrs. Wlghtman, Mrs. Humbert and Miss Chapman are the guestH of Mrs. M. H. Coleman. They have made many friends while here, and certainly have the best wishes ot the people ol Mt. Lebauon. The singing throughout the entire meeting was good indeed. We have never attended servioes that were mora interesting and more impressive than those at Mt. Lebanon. We lee) that much good has been accomplished by the meeting Just closed. N. O. Pyles. ?

The establishment of the Connie Mazwel Orphanage was largely due to the liberal con trlbutions made by the citizens of this plaoi together wllb the many natural advantage! of the location. The original building con structed of first class brick was finlshedabon twelve months ago at a cost of some si: thousand dollars. This building contains eleven rooms, be sides one large apartment which is so con structed that it can at any time be turne< Into an Infirmary. Tbe floor of this room Is doubled with med lcated paper between the floors. Tbe emln building la well ventilated, and is so ar ranged that it can be made comfortable boil In summer and in winter.
