The Abbeville Press and Banner.! BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1893. ESTABLISHED 1844m Hampton will hardly harry and worry thin people with his proposed National Democratlc clubs. The Conservatives are so far In the minority thai they could scarcely hope to be elected to anything, and the plums to i>e given out Irom Washington ure not sufficient to go round. The Conservatives do not take to the proposed scheme with unanimity, though some of the papers favor the plan. Pay your debts. If you can't pay them all, 1 1 ? owl not? u a rnr flfi Villi Oftll UeglU Ub IUU IWIPI) auu p.v ...> .v.. ^ A man would not be worried us much over a .hundred dollar debt to a man who is able to wait, as he would be over a debt of Ave dollars to one who cannot afford to watt. Pay your little debts, and reduce the number of your creditors Greenwood Fays the Saluda river will run through the | roposed new county and this will require bridges. The present old county In connection with Laurens county h is Just completed a splendid iron bridge over that stream and the old county was taxed to build It. If the new county of Greenwood Is eMablUbed Lowndesvllle und McCurmlck can hang their hoops on the willows. The present proposed dismemberment of the county will take so much ot Abbeville's territory that never ngaln will the county be "cut," nnd all the hopes of Lowndesvllle und McC'ormick will be gone forever. Greenwood says everybody must look to their own Interest, If so, Lowndesvllle and McCormlck had better sleep with one eye open. Greenwood says Abbeville "was opposed to the A. <fc K road Irom Its Inception to Its completion," and that thereby Abbeville " track a blow ut the entire system of the P. It. & W. C." ' We did not know of this before, and we think our friends magnify, Just a little, our Importance when they admit that the failure of that Road to come to;Abbevllle, "struck n blow at (he entire P. R. <fc W. C. nyntein.'' May-be you are right nelgnbor, us our town ia now a Hustler." Why lias no Greenwood man slgmd the Greenwood "Reply ?" It seems they are very Indifferent and care very.little for the Court House. It Is the farmers and not Greenwood that wants the new county. Ninety-Six she wants the Coarl House. Why nut put li there? Ninety Six would be much neater the center ol the coonty, and Greenwood really doesn't want it. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. Pr#t;r?u of the Crop In Qeltinjc to Market?The Work ol the Uiu?.

' Reply to the Protest Issued by Citizen** From Unuy Neelions of the , County. To the People of Abbeville Connly: The address published In the Press nnd Banner, uud lit the Medium of last week, purports to have boen written, uud is otfened by some of jour ablest and most promluenl men, in which they complain that "it has suddenly come to light that for some time there hns been a quiet but vigorous effort on I IUOI IU Hirill H lien wuui; ill mio kjMiu, mvu Greenwood as the county seat." Tliat so huge an undertaking-so monstrous a conspiracy?should have been con1 celved, prosecuted and perfected for legislative enactment, within your County, without the knowledge of your prominent leaders, shows one of two tilings?either that the people who have undertaken the accomplishment of their purpose are remarkable lor the quality of attending to their own affairs and telling others alone, or, that your protestants are indifferent to the general interest of your County and are wholy absorbed in the local interests of Abbeville C. H. Probably both statements are true. Your prpiestanls make ten formal complaints, and the presumption is that it is the strongebt possible presentation of their cause. 1st. "That the boundaries of the old county were esiabiislied more than one hundred ??a?? try. Ihlj years ugu, uuuuutc ituio.utu day." Tuls complaint, If allowed, would forever, preclude tbe possibility of any change under auy emergency. The name complalut, If val.d, would have retained Anderson, Oconee and Pickens Counties to-day In Old Pendleton District, which had Its "time honored" boundaries also, as well ax the original division ot tbe State into four District*, but It has never been thought a good plea to urge till now. 2d. "That the proposed new County would be badly t-baped, with llio Saluda River running dlaKoually through it, and throw Abbeville C. H. loo near tbe lower border, and Oreenweed, C. H. loo near the upper boundary." The people of Abbeville ought not to be disturbed on that account, lu asmucb as the people ot Greenwood County do not object to Saluda lilver, but rather hall Its presence as a thing <>r value. They already have projected and have in full view a series ot maguitlcent factor us on her valuable shoals to be developed and constructed as soon up her Independent orgaulzatlon lu effected, so that she cafi control both shores. Tbe fact that Florence Is only leu miles distant irom uaruugiou i^uurt House. was urged In oppoBtlion 10 making that thriving uud vigorous town a Court Honse; thHt It would Injure Darlington, wheu the testimony Is that Darllngtou bus grown moro since Florence was made a Court House thnn she did prior to tbat time ; even closer proximity is quite common throughout the country, it is the hope of Abbeville -ilso. Dyson's would be much nearer to Greenwood Uuui to Abbeville, and the people ol Greenwood County do not propose to Interfere with the relative positions of Savannah river and Abbeville Court House In tbo least. 8. "That the proposed change would take from Abbeville County a large rortlon of her be*t lauds. Including the historic fields of old Cambridge and Ninety-Six." Whatlnalleua file right Abbeville has acquired to a monopoty.of these lands to the exclusion of other part* of the State, noone Is able todiscover. i The county of Greenwood recognizes the fact tbat they belong to the State, and cau fulfill tnelr mission to her as well, If not belter, un- | tier their new county relations, than under i the old. 4. ' That more'than the proper proportion < of the railroad mileage and the towns would < IK" 1 ha tuv.iirivlnntni; UC laiXCU, IIIMO I VUUVII'5 % "v properly o. the county. Upon what ground* can Abbeville claim credit for tbe construction of any line of railroad in tbin county, unices It be the Abbeville brunch? It It* a lumiliar fact that she opposed tbe construction of the A. & K. toad Iroin its inception to Its completion, and through itstruck a olow at the entire ?ysteni of the P. K. & W. C. She did nothing for the O. &G. road, and Is indebted to day for the benefits she derives from the Q. C.& N. road, to the town of Greenwood, which Inaugurated the enterprise aud obtained Its charter, a fact which Abbeville's own representatives know, and the Journa'8 of the General Assembly will prow. But notwithstanding this she gets all of the Navannah Valley, half of the Abbeville Branch, three fourths of the G. C. & N., and half of the A. & K., a good proportion, certainly, lor the amount invested uy her. As for the towns, they are competent to select their own relationship, and are not dependencies upon any other corporate body. 5. The fifth complaint Ik "that alt tbe streams are to be left In Abbeville," Let us see: There are Bryson'a Creek, Armstrong, three Curltalls, Hard 1 abor, Cow Head. Beaverdaui, Coronacu, Wilson's Creek, Ninety Six Creek and ?aluda, to say nothing of those beyond Saiuda, and nelow the Edgefield line. II lu Greenwood County, with the following towns left in Abbeville County?Abbeville, Due West, Lowndesvllle, Mt. Carmel, McCormlck. Donatdsviile, Calhouns Fall*, Wllllngton. Bordeaux and others, leaving her the lion's share, and yet she complains. 0- That the proposed change would Increase taxes generally." Such is not the experience and testimony of our nclgl.bors beyond the Savannah. They pay 784 mills U>xes t we pay 11 I 4. They baue small counties, about one fourth tbe size ot At.bevllle County, and they solemnly avow that they wou'd not Invest In tbe remote parts of such large counties as Abbeville and Edgefield, aud are surprised at the policy we maintain. 7. "Tl-at the proposed change would disturb vested rights, that numberless people have bought property in Abbeville, expecting tbe limits of the county to remain as they ure." _ , We ure sorry, for the sake of our old neigh- . bor, that she makes such a plea! They paid their monev und took fhelr chance, lust as all men have a right to do, and shall' be com- , pel led to do. Haven't we all vested rights as as dear to us us the investor at Abbeville, and who Is bound to forego his interest out of consideration for our rights ? Has the poor farmer who has left tils wifeand little ones to , plod, as best be can, a distance of 25 or 30 ' miles to A bbevllle C. H . no vested rights in and hround I hem?vested rights for which be would sacrifice Ills life, und for which he is now pleading, and Is bound by every Instinct of manhood and humanity to maintain and support. Tne remaining grounds of complaint are mere gushes ol sentiment which we do not < object to Abbeville entertaining. She In living In the past, and delighting bersell with memories that must be laid aside, though saa red, for the sterner demands of tbepreseut. Such Sentiments may do for those who are content to remain In a state of stagnation, but the citizens of Greenwood County have a destiny to work out nud must be up and about it. Inviting all who will to cast their lot with them. I L. White, Thomas Jones, Jno. B. Sample. U. P. O'Neall, A. 1). Ellis, J. L. Hugbey, Citizens Committee. IMPOKTANT CASE. Suit Brought AgnliiMt Nlnely-Slx Townptblp Tor RallroHd Bondo. Mr. George VV. Folsom has brought on action la the Circuit Court or (be United States for tbe District of South Carolina agatnut the Township of Ninety-Six to recover upon certain bonds issued by the township in uld of tbe Greenville and Port Royal Railroad Company. Bonds were Issued to tbe amount of about twenty-eight thousand dollars. The present action is brought to recover upon live thousand one hundred and ten dollurs of the coupons attached to said bonds. Ttie act under which the bonds were Issued was declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of South Carolina lu the case ot Floyd vs. Perrin, but the validity of the bonds has not yet been passed upon by the Courts of tbe United States. Tbe case will be tried before Judge Simonton in Columbia during the early part of lienpmhpr np*f. Messrs. Shields & Shields and Hayne?wortb & Parker represent the plaintiff, and Messrs.

"Preach the Word." 2d Timothy 4:2 Paul charged Timothy over eighteen hi dred years ago to "Preach the Word," and the next verse be given his reason why should. He says, "For the time will coi when they (the people) will not endure sou doctrine," * * "and tbey shall turn aw their ears from thelruth, aud shall be tui ed unto fables." 2d Tim. 4: 8-4. Coul dan u Inspired man set forth the truth anyplulii now than Paul d:d eighteen bundred yet ago? I think not. We have only to open o rj'UB Ul K1C LI UllI, fckllU WC will PCC u auuui Ing right here ill our midnt; and thHt rig here In Greenwood, too. For at the close o: certain proiracted meeting held here boi time back they baptized (or rather raln-t!z< a sweet 111 tie babe, still further, the offlc ling minister preached an ab!e(?) so said, d course on Infant baptism and sprinkling against Immersion?and went so far as to ss "Christ was not Immersed!" ignoring t plain teaohlng of the word of Qod. and t scholarship of his own church, as lam al to prove. I will use no argument of mlr but will ask those who practice afFusli (sprinkling) to testily against this doctrli for "out of thy own mouth will I condeti thee." T uilll flrot. riroitiine tfat Imnnv ncftlnst. Infa baptism, ftlind you, these are promlne Pedo-BaptUts wbose wisdom cannot be c nlcd. Dr. Ware says: "Among all the perso that are recorded as baptized by tbe Aposll there is no express mention of any lnfanti Bishop Burnet says: "There is no exprt precepts or rule given In the New Testame for tbe baptism of infants." Martin LulbersayB : "It cannot be prov that infant baptism was instituted by Chrli or by the first Christians after the Apostles Erasmus says : "The Apostles does not Ree to treat of Infants. It was not the custom t Infants to be baptized." Limbacb says: "The nocessity of Infa baptism was never asserted by any Couni before that ol Contage, held A. D. 418. V own that there Is no precept, nor undoubt Instance in Scripture of iufant baptism." Dr. Knapp says: "There is "no declsl example of infant baptism In the Scripture Moses Stuart says: "Command or plain ai certain examples relative to it In the Ne Testament I do not find." Dr. Leonard Woods, says : "The New Tesl ment is silent respecting the subject of lnla baptism." John Calvin, founder of Presbyterlanlsi savs: "It is no where expressed by the Eva thnt. anv one Infant, wiif hnntizpri." JL)r. Ilunna say*: "Scripture knows nothli or I lie baptism of infants." More could be added, but these are suf clent. Furthermore, It Is no use 10 nay an thing further on this subject, as these "err neni" men has denied any such thing In God word as Infant baptism. We see It Is all ma made doctrine, and Jesus says: "In val ihey do worship me, teaching lor doutrln the commandments of men." Matt, xv : 9. We will nonce In the second pluce the u of sprlukllng instead of immersion. In tb case as in the first, 1 will let the Pedo-Ba lists answer lor themselves, and condem this practice by their own mouths. We wl now hear what they say. Lunge says, "Baptism in the apostolic at was a proper baptism?the immersion of tl body In water." . . "The plunging undi water represents death, and rising out of ihe resurrection to ? new life."?Bapt. page Bloomfteld on Rom. vl: 4, says, ''There is: plain allusion to the ancleni custom of bu| tism by Immersion." John Wesley, on Rom. vl: 3, has thei words, "Burled with him by baptism, allui Ing to the ancient manner of baptizing b Immersion." Dr. Adam Clark,on Rom. vl: 4, says, . . 'Tha aposile hero alludes to . . immersion ihe whole body being put under water," . not a little on top of your head.) Neander says, "Baptism was originally b Immersion." Luther says. . . "For to baptize, in Greet is to dip, and baptizing is-dipping." . . " would have those who are to be baptized t jeattogeiner uippeu into tne water . . .a without doubt It was Instituted by Christ." Tholuck, on Rom. vl: 2, says, "The caud lute lu the primitive church was Immersed, mind you, not sprinkled,) "In water an alsed out of it again." Rev. W. A. McKay, B. A., a Presbyteriai minister, In lilu book on baptism, thus write >u pages 22 and 28 : " We do not hold that th cord baptizo signifies to pour or sprinkle. 'To ask us therelore to prove tbat to baptlz neans to sprinkle is asking us to prove wbn .ye never believed or affirmed. And yet tbi s what Baptists are constantly doing, am ,hen Ignorantly exnltlng as if they had ot ained a triumph because we decline to prov what we have al ways denied." Prof. Tyler, of Am hurst College, says: " lo not know of any good lexicon which give iprlDkle as a rendering of Baptizo." Milton W. Humphrey, professor of Greel i) VandeAllt University, says: "There Is n< itandard Greek-English lexicon tbat give sprinkle or pour as meanings of Baptizo." Albert Barney a scholarly Presbyterian, oi [sa. 52:15, (the great fort or reffuge) of thos who practice affusion, says : "It furnishes n irffument for the practice of sprlnkllDg ii Baptism." Please turn to Plttman's and Lightfoot' works, vol. xltl, pnges 300-1. You will ther find that the Westminster Assembly of 1613^ame within one vote of adopting immersloi is baptism Instead oi sprinkling. I woul< like to quote the entire piece, but space foi bids. Many others I could call up who woul LaBtify to the same, such asAnthon, Olshati <od, Knaff, Schaff, Doddridge, Gratius, Th< luck, Counybare and Howson. We have heard what man Hays, now let v hear what the Holy Spirit Bays. We will atthe questions and let the Holy Spirit anBwei Will you do this? "But," says some plou Pedo Baptist, "you will put your Interprets tlon on it , and of course we will not accepttt. Wrong again. I will not put iny "turplti tlon," or use any argument for or against Itsimply let th? Holy Spirit answer thequei Hon iu plain Englinh. This Is the question : What does lmmei slon require? 1st. water?Acta vlll: 3. x : 47. 2d. Much water?St. John Ml: 2J, Heb. x :2 8d. Going Into the water?Acts vlll: 3S. 4th.

We have now seen whatlmmerslon require we will also see what sprinkling requires. 1st Water?Acts vlll: 8, x : 47. 2d. A very little water, and no scrlptui for that. Don t you see, my poor mistaken friends, tl: scholarship of your own church are again you; your best ministers are against yoi and the word of God, the hope of us ail, ai against you. Now, In conclusion, I wish to say, I ba> been honest with you. I haveglven noargi mentor comment of my own, but have give you the word or God, and the plain teachlr of your great men. I would like to give you a few words in r gard to the subject and design of baptlsn but as the action lb all that's In debate, ih Will suffice. D. J. R-tborn. Greenwood, 8. C., November 1, 1893.

J. M. B. ^ I Abuse of Appeal*. Spartanburg Herald. 'he laws of this SUto are extremely liberal the matter of allowing appeals. Indeed It ist be evident to every thinking man, that i common practice of appealing all cases of isequence. civil and criminal, to the Su:me Court, after there has been a verdict or :ree on the circuit was not contemplated in ! formation of our Judicial system, is cumsome and in a great measure degrading to r Circuit Courts. o firmly grounded seems the practice that s taken as a matter of course there will be appeal, when a verdict is rendered on the suit, if only the parly aggrieved has the ney to pay for the priotlug of the brief. Is is wrong. The law says that no man ill be twice put in jeapoay 01 losing mo or ib, why should the state be required al>s to make out Its case twice. , Is well perhaps to allow appeals from trial tlce courts to the circuit as matter of irse. Trial Justices are not lawyers and ofknow no l?iw. Their courts are not courts record, but Inferior. But not so with the :uft court. A circuit Judge is supposed to as learned as a supreme Justice, and as tter of fact they are as a rule. The prac5 of appealing on all sorts of cases and for sorts of reasons, is making the three ges of the Supreme Court do the work of eight Circuit Judge?, and all for no pure. No Circuit Judge now on the Bench or 0 could ever be elected would hesitate to nt the right of appeal, If there was a realable doubt as to t> 1m construction ol the r or any irregularity In the trial s It Is, it is frequently three years before a irply contested case can run the rounds of 1 Courts and one Legislature meets and tnges a law before the constitutionality of a law Is passed upon. hen look on the criminal side. Take the II van case Just heard In Andersou. Here i man who was able to employ the best letalent In the State In his detense. In or that prejudice might not weigb, the case 9 removed from Greenville where tbe me was committed nod bent to be passed r>n by meu who knew neither the slayer r the slain. The witnesses were examined lording to law, the law vers argued to tbe y as they hud a right, for and ugalnst coutlnn.and the Jury rendered a verdict. It h for murder and the whole case was reared before the Judge to show that there was ne irregularity. So mistake of law could clted.no Irregularity, and the death Venice was passed. From tbls decision of the Jge the lawyers wjll appeal to the Supreme urt, not with any hope of securing a new al, but because thev can appeal and there Is Wt.y to prevent It, and by so doing the Igtnent of the coiiit may he temporarily yed.
