The Press and Banner ABBETILLE, S.C. ^^-Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Mr. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, la not authorized to take advertisements foi tbia newspaper. Wednesday, May 16, 1894. Tbe Hampton Club*. The Aiken Recorder Is urging tbe organization of some kind of superfine and double distilled Democratic clubs for tbe alleged purpose of preserving tbe Democracy against Ocalaites and Tbird Partyites. Speaking for tbe Press and Banner we tnink sucb clubs ought to be organized at once. We all want to know tbe names of the citizens who are too pure and too patriotic to associate with and to be considered as part ol the people of South Carolina. Long ago one man got to be so good that he was "translated." It may be that if these lat. terday political saints could be gathered to getber in one little squad they too miglit ut "translated," and carried to a world where plain every day citizens would cease from troubling those who assume to have tbe re. spectabillty, the education and the royal right of kings to hold the offices and govern tbe oountry. These bowling puritanical people that want office, and think that tbey alone are entitled to tbe perquisites of official station must learn that tbe people are the source from thoap pnnd thin?s come. If a few extra and super refined gentlemen at tbe different court bouses will organize toney clubs from wblcb all but those with blue blood In tbelr veins are excluded, we might have peace In this country. In view of the hope that In tbe organiza" tlon of those wbo are too good and too pure to associate with tbe great mass of tbelr neighbors and tbe people of tbe State would bring peace, we would Join tbe Aiken Recorder in expressing tbe bope that these gentlemen may organize at once. Tbis thing of mixing up tbe toney and extra nice people with the plain every day folk has gone on long enough. Something ought to be done. Those extra nice Democrats wbo are afraid of tbe touch of tbe elbow from their unassuming neighbors will please step two paces to tbe front. ? ? 1 ?? Cozey'i Army. Everybody has had something to say of Coxey's army and the treatment to which they were subjected In Washington. They were clubbed by tbe polioe, taken to the guard bouse, tried In tbe Mayor's court, and fined for walking on the grass about tbe White House. \ Tbe Press an Banner believes tbat tbe Coxey people were shamefully treated by tbe city police and newspaper correspondents who tried to ridicule them and make Jokes at tbe expense of their poverty. Coxey and hlB crowd made no hostile demonstrations. They were refused a bearing by tbe President, and tbe police did not allow him to speak from tbe steps of tbe White House. If Coxey had beaded a great crowd of rlcb, well dressed people, there is no doubt but tbat Cleveland would bave welcomed them in great style, and none of tbem would have been clubbed by the police, or fined for walking on tbe grass. Little Ill-mannered newspaper writers / would bave said nothing derogatory of the rlcb. Very few decent or respectable newspapers ridicule the clothing of poor people. To attempt wit at the expense of tbe poor man's olotbing is offensive to every Instinct of decency and respectability. The probability Is that Coxey and the Washington police are making a chapter In history. Pleasant Visit. Oar much esteemed correspondent Mr. A. J, Sproles came to town one day last week, and we bad a very pleasant call from him while be was In town. We expect be will call on many [friends of tbe Press and Banner this summer, so tbat tbe Tillman I tea and the An, tls may see the face of blm who has bo often entertained tbem with his pen. Talmaffe's Tabernacle. Talmage'e Tabernacle was burnt last Sunday, soon after tbe conclusion of the mid-day services. This Is tbe third time the Taberna* ele has been burnt. "Visiting*" Correspondents will please try to avoid the repetition of the word "visit." There are several ways of Baying the same thing without asing the same word so often. IN THE A. R. P. CHURCH. Rev. Mac. Todd Ellis Filled the Pal. pit for the Pastor Last Sunday. Rev. Mao Todd Ellis preached Id the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church last Sunday. He took for bis subject the forty years wandering of the children of Israel under the leadership of Moses, and gave a recital of many Interesting historical facts. Wben the King had relented and tbe children of Israel were allowed to proceed on tbelr way to tbe Promised Land, tbe waters lay between them and tbe country wblcb tbey hoped to reach, yet tbey trustingly proceeded to tbe very edge of tbe water, wben It divided and a pathway of dry land was given to them on which tbey could pursue tbelr Journey. The moral which tbe preacher desired to Impress upon his bearers was tbe Importance of Implicit faltb In tbe goodness of tbe Almighty and tbe neoesslty for strict obedience to His will. If tbe children of Israel bad refused to starton their Journey because of tbelr knowledge of tbe intervening Red Sea, and the hitherto Impossibility of crossing It, they never would nave be?u freed from tbelr bondage. II we are of little faith and are disobedient, we will never be freed from tbe great burden of sln'wblch Is bearing us down, and the hope that we may finally reach the better land beyond theBtars must forever perish In our own souls. However impossible the task may appear, yet we must assume to perform our duty, trusting that the fx>rd may do for us as he did for tbe obildren of Israel?at the supreme moment lend his presence and manifest his power. We must sometimes walk by laltb, not knowing how we are to succeed. We must make tbe effort, trusting tbe result to blm who rules the dry land, and commands the waters, of tbe sea to stand aside. Like the children of Israel, we must have faith In the wisdom of the Almighty, and we most implicitly trust to bis goodness for deliverance from evil, and, as little children, we must await tbe Father's loving kindness to give us a crown of eternal glory. Mr. Ellis is a Theological student at Due West, and enters upon his work lor tbe Master, hopefully and trustfully, evincing an earnestness of purpose and slncerety of effort, which impressed those who beard blm. He was tbe guest, while In Abbeville, of bis friend and kinsman, Mr. R. M. Haddon. SWEETSINGERS, Praise Clod Front Whom all Blessings Flow.

Abbeville, 8. C., May 10, 1894. - A number of our citizens took advantage or the excursion rates last week anil vlBited the Gate City. Doctor Mlilwee of Greenwood was in the city last week on business. . Miss sallie Lou Arnold after spending a ' pleasant week In our city left lor her home in Elberton, last Wednesday, being unexpectedly called away on account of sickness. ' Mess. A. M. Hill <t Sons received last week a shipment of beans and tomatoes fresh from Florida. > R. M. Haddon lost his fine Jersey cow last week; Itslckened and died In a few hours. Mr. W. T. Branch who has been visiting In Alabama for 'the past month, returned home last Thursday. He reports a delightful trip. Kev. Dr. Bays will preach the Union sermon next Sunday In the Presbyterian church. The Presbyterian congregation had a thanksgiving praver service last Thursday evening, for the extinction of all debts upon their cnurch and manse. This was enough to fill their hearts with love and gratitude, which overflowed in prrise to Him who is the giver of every good and perfect gift. > Mr. and Mrs. Ramey Huuhes ofWalhalla arrived In the city last week, where Mr. Hughes will spend awhile recruiting his > health. He is now a first-class engineer on the Richmond &. Danville with a fine , salary. Our public park needs a little attention. This Ilia cool shady retreat and should be made ornamental to our public square. Mr. J. S. Graves Is building near the G., C. 4 N. Railroad shops a handsome three story dwelling, with mansard roof which Is r nearlng completion. Mr. Hertford Parks soliciting freight agent for the S. C. R. R. ComDany spent several days i In the city last week, looking after the business interests of the road be has the honor to ' represent. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Latimer withJMrs. Kmma Moore left last Monday for a trip to Augusta, where Mr. Latimer will attend the annual meeting of the stock holders of the P. R. & W. (3. Road. Mi6H Lottie Hydrlc of Orangeburg is in the city and will spend some time with her sister Mrs. J. T. B. Anderson. Mr. J. R. F. Wilson is buildlnga pretty two story dwelling, near the U., C. <& N. Shops Into which he will move In about three weeks. Mr. Williams Is also erecting a'nice cottage in the same section. That portion of Abbeville is llrerally out growing itsell. Our citizens are now being supplied with cotton seed hulls from Elberton, which are selling at $4.00 per ton. It really seems that our own mill should put forth extra eflort next Reason and get a sufficient quantity or seed to supply home consumption and not have its patrons to send off, and all we want is more seed. Mrs. C. P. Hammond has Just returned from a pleasant visit to friends near Starr station. Abbeville and Clinton crossed bats on the Abbeville diamond last Friday. Quite a crowd bad assembled and the gameopenea but was boon ended by a pouring rain. The Clinton boys werea little ahead, but Abbe vllle would hav? most likely got there on the borne run. Not satisfied Abbeville's second nine met the Clinton the next day on their diamond and at the close, the game stood 12 to 9 In favor ot Clinton. If Abbeville's second nine could play them ro close, her first nine have done with the boys? This will be answered at the next play. Too much rain is now the cry, plenty of grass, and much bard work Is now ahead for the farmers. Mrs. W. D. Wilson and her sister, Mrs. R. ft. Link with her little son Francis left last Monday for a trip to Auguita. The Abbeville Cornet Band has awakened from Its lethargy and we may expect some music during the dull summer mouths. We know of some fine improvements Roon to commence on our public square, but can't tell yet. ? ?? ? NICE SHOES. Nothing In More Important to the 11 nman Pxmilv Thnn \i1 mt Feet. As a man's Toot, more than any other part of bis person, is an Index to his refinement and gentility, or bis lack of those winning qualities, it is all-important that every gentleman, and every lady, too, should wear the dressiest and best foot-gear that he or she can afford. A man may wear a thread bare coat, a vest with well-worn buttons, and patched breeches, but no man can afford to wear inferior or 111-beoomlng shoes. For this reason one's shoemaker is more Important than one's tailor or mantua-maker, and be is of even more importance than the milliner. Besides the dress of the foot, the health of all of us demands that we be well shod. Mr. Cbas. E. Brace at his shoe shop on Main street, labors every day?and night too, when occasion requires?to set off our people to the best advantage, and win mase a snoe bo neat as to make even tbe bait straighten up and walk proud. Tbe ladies need no lecture on tbe importance of a pretty foot, and no woman would wear an ill-becoming shoe if sbe could help It. Sbe would sooner wear a last year's bird's nest on ber bead. This lecture and notice is intended only for tbe men, who may be a little careless of little things, but wblcb are of the greatest importance. There is magic in a pretty foot, and no one knows better than Mr. Bruce bow to pat one'B best foot foremost. Just go and make your track in bis book, and verily this statement. ?? ? OUT OF DEBT. Tbauknjflvliiff and Praise Service iu the Presbyterian Church. The Presbyterians of this village held a very pleasant meeting last Thursday night, at which speeches were made by Judge Cothran, Capt. L. W. White, Mr. J.Allen Smith, Mr. W. A. Tern pie ton and the pastor, Rev. J. Lowrle Wilson, D. D. The object ol the meeting was to give expressions of the natural feeling Incident to being relieved of the heavy debt which was incurred by the building of the new cburch and the manse. The congregation is now entirely out of debt, and is one oi the few congregations which supports a missionary in foreign lands. The members of the Presbyterian church are not very rich, but they give most liberally for allcburch purposes. They do tblsaBaCbrlKtlan H 111 it In tho uai>ulna a f tha Mootap oc a (lionlr.

Mrs. Jennie Lomax, wife of Mr. J. E. Lomax, died at their home near Ebenezer church in this county last Tuesday evening, May 8, 1893. alter a brief ill neat*. She was MIb8 Jennie Black of Antrevllle, daughter of Mr. J. Ramsey Black, deceased. She had been married about ten years, and left six little children, one of whom, the infant, has died since her death. She had been for a lone time a member of the Methodist church, and her life adorned the Christian faith which Bhe professed. Death Is ever an unwelcome guest, but nothing 1b more sad than the death of the young mother who leaves little children of tender years. HARD LABOR SCHOOL. The Teacher Concludes the Nesslon With an Interesting Program. Miss Lois Museclosed her school on Hard Labor last Friday, after a most satisfactory session of six months. The patrons and soholars of thiB school are all pleased with the ability and efficiency of tnelr beloved teacher, who haB served them bo well. An interesting program had been arranged lor the last day, in which all the children were interested, and some nice prlz.es were given out Vo lucky winners. After a long season of hard work the teacb er and her scholars will now lake a holiday. Literary furiosities. There are a number of words in the English language that contain all the five regular vowels though it might puzzle any one to think of one at 9hort notice. The following may be given as examples; education, reputation, regulation, emulation, perturbation, mensuration, repudiation. Besides these, there are several words that contain all the vowels including the "y." Of these we may mention revolutionary, elocutionary and unquestionably. The word indivisibility may be noted as a peculiar word, for it contains the letter "i" six times Mississippi and Tennessee are each spelled with the use of four differeut letters, although one contains eleven letters and the other nine. Cchnapps, a word of one syllable and eight letters, contain but one vowel. There are no words in the English language of more than eight syllables. Of those containing thatnumber we may mention incomprehensibility. Some people claim to be trusting God to save their souls who appear to be afraid to trust Him with very much ot their money.

NewB was received here a few days ago of the Illness of Miss Kate Taylor In Florida. A second telegram notified her parents of her death. Mrs. Taylor, the mother of the unfortunate lady, left here for Florida Immediately. A special to the Atlanta Journal said that Miss Taylor was to have been married very soon and the man broke t he engagement the consequence of which Miss Taylor took a dose of morphine or arsenic, killing herself. Her trleods here were very much shocked over the news. Mr. Rowell's arm has been paining him a good deal and Is not doing so well. Some of the Doctors think the arm ought to be taken off but the patient could not stand the operation. A goodly number attended the K. ot P. picnic at old Fort ^Cambridge last Thursday. The |place is well suited to the occasion oi that kind. Captain Capers of Columbia delivered the address on Pythlanlsm In his usual felicitous Blyle after a pleasant Intro: ducMon by Prof. J. C. Cork. Little Louise McGhee who was run over by ablclcleaDd severely bruised is getting ou very nicely and Mr. Nickel's hurt by a collslon has gotten well but the result of a runaway wheel sometime ago still causes Mr. Jordan to limp.

As a passerby remarked, "one can almost see his corn gro.w" Very heavy rain fell in this section to day and some people are complaining of loo much. A second nine team of ball players or "cranks" as they are now called will be organized here. Rev. Mr. Watson struck some good licks at. the blind tigers that are said to be living around this neighborhood, Maid he: "they ought to have their talis cut off right back of the ears." And now comes an aDueal for'the aid of the white people or the JBIuffton section In Beaufort county In consequence of the August cyclone that devastated ho much of the low country, "with the exception of a little grist and meal" distributed to suffering white families who cared not to ask alms and 82 from JCol. White's special relief committee, nothing has been done for the white people. It it Is said that the Red Cross Society have bestowed all their aid upon the negroes of the unfortunate district in which they work. If these reports be true, a response to the appea I for the aid of thehuudreds of families who see "starvation staring them in the face," is in order for every South Carolinian whether be can give much or little. These suffering families are of Carolina's best people In the broadest meaning of the term, and because they have not "begged" their fellowman have no right to Ignore their destitution. s.

Worry is a cause aud source of untold evils. It seams the face with lines and furrows, and has a most depressing effect upoii that hypersensitive organ, the stomach, which at all times becomes a most unwilling and laggard servant. Indeed, it is safe to say that unless encouraged by a cheerful temper and bright, or, at least, hopeful, thoughts, the Btomach will lay truant or sulk and do no work which it can shirk. The physical explanation of this is the closo alliance of the great sympathetic nerves, which are worse than the telegraph for carrying bad news; the worry and anxiety which depress the brain produce simultaneously a semi-paralysis of the nerves of the stomach, gastric juices will not flow, and?Presto, there is indigestion. One sign of mental health is serenity of temper aud a self-control that enables us to bear with equanimity and unruftied temper the petty trials and jars of life, especially those arising from the coutact with scolding, [irascible, irritating folk. It is well to remember at such times that these unfortunates are their own worst enemies, and a cultivation of the art of not hearing will help us very much. It is a very useful art all through life and well worth some trouble to acquire. Good may come out of evil, and the 1 keen edge of misfortune be blunted by the kind sympathy of generous hearts. 1 ????i?????ec???m 600 Chairs e McDill & Tolly T7I__.
