Before another issue of the Press and Ba ner shall have gone to press, the people of* South Carolina will have exercised the greatest privilege of an American citizen?that of voting for the officers of their choice. The Press and Banner has no advice to give to anybody, but we will take occasion to give oar opinion on some matters. Excepttng perhaps about ten per cent, of our people, they voted either at the first or second primary election. Because of participating In either election, at least nine-tenths of onr people are pledged to support the regular'nominees of the party. Because of the conscientious scruples of our people in the effort to discharge their duty they will be true to past history in not supporting Independents or Bolters. The Democratic party may rely on the support of the great mass of the people of A bbeville County. Id this election two monstrous propositions have been made to our people?one by Dr. Sampson Pope, and one by Senator Irby. Dr. Fope, as an Indepedendent Reformer asks tbe people to vote for blm for Governor against tbe regular nominee ? Jobn Gary Evans?on tbe ground that be is opposed to tbe dispensary law, while tbe regular nominee is in favor of it. The people ot this County are almost a unit In fa.vor of tbe law, and of oourse they will not desert the Dem* oca tic party to vote for an Independent who seeks to destroy a law wbloh they endorse. Tbe other monstrous proposition Is that of Senator Irby in bis presamptlon to tell tbe people how tbey must vote. He goes further and adds Insult to the honest and manly sentiments of this people, by his effort to carry the election for hlB Convention In withholding the necessary tickets to enable the people to give a fair and unbiased vote. Tbe Press and Banner has no means of knowing how Car tbe Reformers will consent to be treated aa something less than free born citizens, and this newspaper Is not Informed if any oltlzen is going to play the part of a parrot, showing pride in doing bis master's will, but we believe tbe people of this County will vote according to tbelr own convictions of dnty and according to tbelr own sense of rlgbt and wrong. Tbe question of a Constitutional Convention no doubt bas two sides to it, and many men may honestly and conscientiously be in favor of It. Of tbis class we have nothing to say. except in the highest respect. What we are contending for is, an expression of Individual opinion. We don't want tbe intelligent citizens of Abbeville County to vote for a Convention simply because Irby says so, or because be refused to furnish the necessary tickets to secure a full vote. , Tbe Press and Banner will vote for Jobn Gary Evans and-all the other nominees on tbe ticket. Allegiance to tbe Democratic party in oar opinion demand this of as. Besides: If we were free to vote for Pope we wonid still vote for Evans. We would vote that way because we endorse tbe dispensary law. Evans supports It. Pope does not. We would vote for no man on tbe face of tbe earth wbo was opposed to tbe dispensary law ?if tbere was a candidate in tovor of tbe law. Dr. Pope is no doubt as good a man as Mr. Evans, but we are voting according to our convlctlons.as to a law, and in obedience to oursenBeof duty to tbe Democratic party. Having taken part in tbe primary, we feel bound to vote for Evans. Favoring the dispensary law, we are bound to vote against Pope. ? ? * ~ On ike Ran. It begins to look like Governor Tillman has tbe liquor men on tbe run. Although great quantities of liquor bave been captured recently yet tbe delicate woman and tbe incensed mob bave notsbown up since tbeirucus in Greenville. Charleston's liquor men and tbe baters of Tillman defied tbe law. and sensational dispatches were sent abroad as to tbe excitement in wblcb respectable people took part,because of an attempted enforoe mem 01 me taw. Florenoe raised her back,and, we belibve| looted tbe dispensary. Some of onr readers may have beard of tbe Darlington war. Sumter, it seems to ns, songbt a place In tbe picture as being too good and too righteous to obey TUlman'B iniquitous law. Tbe city of Columbia got up quite a reputation for defying the law. The city of Anderson would have nothing to do with it. * Greenville, we presume, wi!l be the last to proclaim ber virtuous Indignation and bitter bostillty. But it seems that tbe liquor meu and others who have been bent on tbe overthrow of tbe government simply because tbey didn't like tbe liquor law, have begun to learn a tblng or two. Different towns have concluded to enforce tbe law, and less 1b now beard of delicate women, ana all tbe bragadoclo by bullies bas rilannrvpnrAri frnm t.hA nawflnanAra mmhrrv?.v? r-r-.-. Tillman goes on capturing great quantities of contraband liquor, perhaps enough to pay the expenses of the constables. The vlolatersof the dispensary law having found that force will be met with force, they will likely cease to violate the law. The clandestine sale of whiskey not being considered reputable. It is quite likely that in a few months, or possibly weeks, the "blind tiger" will disappear from the land. Tlie Dispensary Law. The Press and Banner Is in receipt of a copy of the Atlanta Evening Journal, In which a marked article appears that utters grave charges against decency and respectability of this community, whloh is In direct conflict with the recent statement of the grand Jury in relerence to the dispensary law. A sufficient answer to the falsity of bis cnarge, is lurmsneu iu me wurus ui me irauu Jury, which sat at the October term of our court: "We as the Grand Jury of Abbeville county take pleasure In oertlfylne to the wholesome effect of the Dispensary Law In this County. Under this system the temptation to drunkenness has been greatly reduced with consequent, good results. We no longer see the brilliant lights of the open bars. The opportunity and the temptation to tippling has b?*en removed. The habit of treating is now a thing of the past* It is with special pleasure that we note the fidelity with which the Police of the town enforce the law. Obeying the instruotions of the town council they prevent the illicit sale of llqupr at Abbeville. The marked improvement of the peace and sobriety of the town furnish evident proof ol the benefits of the new system of dealing with liquor. With the opportunity for observation which some of ub have had, we are convinced , that the Dispensary solves the question." We believe any assertion coming from whatever source, that there are notorious "blind tigers" in Abbeville. Is utterly and absolutely false. The surprising thing to us is, that a reputa' ble newspaper like the Atlanta Evening Journal, would allow Its columns to be used for vile and wicked purposes In Blanderlng an unoffending community of respectable and law-abiding citizens. No man baa yet ottered a senslUle reason for calling a Convention. Do you know of any reason to vote for It, except in obedience to the man who assumes to order respectable people to surrender their manhood. ' v.';:. i \ "s i~f:~ The Circa*. Walter L. Main's Circus will be here to-day. Where the show has given recent exhibitions the newspapers have spoken very nicely of it. The street parade will, of course, be seen by everybody. Even those who are too pious to( go within the peecincts of the grand pavilion will risk at least one eye on the splendid pageant as It passes up and down the principal thoroughfares. In response to the demand of religious people, objectionable features of shows, including the clowns' doubtful or vulgar Jokes, have been eliminated from the programs of all the best shows. Everybody loves lo see a good show, and those of our people who can stand the ex- j pense, will no doubt enjoy the circus to-day Speaking for the Press and Banner, we like to see the circus, with ltsnomo. its glitter, its splendor, and Its great variety. We repeat that the Legislature some years ago undertook to prevent these exhibitions by placing a high tax on their performance- J and we hope that the Legislature in its wisdom may rescind their action, .whereby th? people have been deprived of a day's pleasure and sight-seeing. The Southeru people have but few days o general holiday, and it seems that one of tbef most enjoyable uays of the beason has been denied us because of the hlgh.tbx Imposed by the Legislature. Let us enjoy the Jolly old dowc and the entertalng'show once a year. A laugh now and then is good. To lorget for an hour the cares which weigh us down, will refresh and Invigorate. There are, however, good and pious people who are still laboring under the delusion that all pleasures, and the circus la particular, are sinful. There are also good and conscientious men who may believe that it is their mission ou earth to interdict the pleasures and enjoyments of the young. Wherever life and animation, youth and nnocent mirth, are found, it is their christian duty to cast a shadow over happy hearts and to make gloomy the delightful scenes. .At best, life has enough or its cares and sorrows; then let the children be happy for a rtftv int. the eredltorifor the hour cease to pur. sue his deblor, and let tbe debtor for the short time bid adieu to dull care. Contribute to the pleasured your children, and, If able to do so, give them all tickets to the show. Let them be happy while they may. Tbe anxieties and burdens of life will be on them after awhile, when a hundred dollars would scarcely furnish as much pleasure ae they may now set for fitty cents. Death of T. C. Gower. I Tbos. C.

Despite the fact that the price o f cotton is lower tban it has been for fitty years, another fact remains, and that tact is, that our people are In better shape to meet tbe situation tban they have been at any time since tbe war The production 01 iuc uujj mu ? lively little. Our pastures have been remarkably good,and our corn.crop Is the wont abundant that we bave bad since the war. With Cat. cattle, a reasonable supply of pork and well-tilled cribs, our farmere are iu uo danger or suffering serious loss on account of the low price of cotton. Tbey can bave tbelr butter and inllk, and tbeir nog and hominy can be raised on the place. Living at borne, they can make the cotton crop a money crop, and can still do fairly well. Citizens who are in debt will likely feel the weight of their burden, and trades people who are dependent on the circulation of money, may realize a hardship or ourlallment of their profits because of a reduction of the circulating medium In their community, but those farmers who apply practical methods In reducing the outlay, will still live and prosper, f The fact Is, that the production of our crops I mast be reduced to a plain business transaction In which common sense must enter. In the first place, the merchants wil! of necessity cut down their advances to a traction of the amount tbey have heretofore advanced to the Impecunious or Improvident planter. In the next place, the planter must oonlorm bis methods to the changed condition. He must recognize the necessity not ouly for diversifying bis crops, but for reducing tbe cash outlay In making cotton. " ..?niii nr n?p?ultv he srlven to mure ntioubiuu n v. ^ , ? the sowing of small grain and tbe planting ol corn. Tbe Importance of pastures and tbe value ol milk cows, porkers and colts, will be Impressed upon all wbo aspire to succeed. In tbe changed condition some will no doubt see great cause lor discouragement, and And abundant reason to fall out wltb tbis old oountry which bas in tbe past produced so mucb wealth, and been tbe borne of so many good men. But tbose wbo bave a beart to brave the situation and adapt themselves to tbe circumstances, will still thrive and prosper. When men have a will to succeed, they will succeed. Tbey will bave tbe sagacity to see profitable pursuits and their energy and good Judgment will not fall tbern. Our low lands will make abundant crops of grass on which cattle and stock or all kluds may feed. Wltb many bead of cattle and stock, tbe prudent and carerul farmer may snap his Angers in the (ace of tbe fertilizer or guano agents. Tbe direct profit on stock will make many lndependentof the stores and tbe banks. Although cotton Is low la price, yet tbe earth itself will still produce tbe wealth of the country. It may be that the people will allow Irby to dictate to them what they must do about ordering a Convention, but we are inclined to ID1UK mey Will UttlUVI IU uuc;r nu^uwi; u v>. ders, as long as tbe expense Is to be paid out of five cents cotton. Irby may order, and the nincompoops may vote, but the farmers will pay the expense of tbe Convention. THE RECENT MEETING % Of (be Afwoclate Reformed Synod at Troy. Mr. Bernau represented tbe Abbeville church, and Judge Cotbran went from tbls place as a delegate from tbe Presbyterian Alliance of tbe World. His mission bad for Its object tbe unification of the cburobes holding tbe PreBbyterlan faltb. Tbe Judge was very mucb Impressed by tbe members of tbe Associate Reformed Synod, and for tbe purity of tbelr character and tbe sincerity ol tbelr purpose be bas great respect. He thinks tbey are men of education, ability and fine personal appearance. The Judge in his address before the Synod urged the healing of the differences which now separate the churches that are now practically oneandthesame. Hetnought there was not enough dltlerence-to cause divisions or separations. He was delighted with bis trip, and while In Troy was thegueBtof his friend, Mr. Ueo. m t? 1r\f tuhnm Uo unoalrfi in J Armu nf U Diuuio;, Ul -V the kindest consideration.

JOSIAH W. LEEDS. The editorial note in the Christian Standard of Ninth month, 6tb, second Eage, upon the lately inaugurated war etween China and Japan about Corea is timely ; the reflection that "it is time thut these barbarities should cease," is true, and has been true since the overturningof primitive Christian faith and practice upon this matter by the Emperor Constantinein the fourth century, while the very responsible commission laid upon Dr. Stokes that he "communicate with the Emperor of China aud Japan, and in the name J of Jesus Christ and our common humanity, bid them be at peace," bears an aspect"of encouragement. For, it will be remembered that it was one of the last acts of our lately-adjourned National Legislature, in an interval of its wrestling with the tariff" bill question, to reject the proposal of an arbitration treaty with Great Brttian, for the pitiful reason that our political relations with Nicaragua might become unsettled, our status under the Clayton Bulwer treaty be disturbed by a treaty of arbitration, and hence some possible future decision or award In that connection prove not altogether acceptable to our people. We need also to bear in mind that the military spirit is being very practically stimulated amongst us through the plan of detailing officers learned in the art of war to instruct our jroung men in the colleges and our lads in the public schools, how to go through the j military drill; while the same leaven, operating in the churcheB, ^puts the weapons of carnal warfare in ffte hands of youthful recruits for the army of the Prince of Peace. We may point the pagans to what Hudson lay lor and all his associates of the China Inland Mission testify and practice against the barbarity and non-Christian character of war. and so of Livingstone aud Bishop Taylor in TiViiiatnriaI Africa, and Moffatl and Coillard in Lower Africa, and Ellis and Coan in the South Seas and Sandwic hlslands. We may also tell them that Charles Spurgeon, first in name among the Baptists,disavowed altogether that "other Christianity" for the heathen which came "with a Bible in its knapsack and a rifle in its hand that Dr. G'uyler, eminent among the Presbyterians, wifti no love for thai strange fire of the Boys' Brigade in the churches, exclaims, "It is pitiable to see the carnal weapons of butchery in the hands of Christian youth!'' while the saintly Wesley, founder of Methodism, made free to Out forth the searching inquicy "Shall Christians assist the Prince of Hell who was a murderer from the begiuning, by telling the world the benefit of war?" There are a few other considerations intimately related to this subject, which were set forth in a tract entitled, "Ought Christians to engage in War?" issued by me last year, three paragraphs from which I append. As a member of the appointed committee for bringing before the churches the appeal to be laid before tbe worm's governments on the subject of war, and commending tbe amicable determination of all future iuternatlonal differences, I should rejoice to have laid before tbe rulers of the nations who acknowledge not the Kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ, tbe assurance that He whose kingdom is "notof this world," has enjoined his servants not to fight, but to overcome the world and all their enemies through patience, long-suffering, prayer and trust in Him. The extract referred to is as follows: "Professing Christendom having for long forsaken the simplicity of primitive faith and practice in this regard [by having resort to war], we need to turn now and learn anew a lesson from the freshly impressed inhabitants of 'the isles afar off When such a thing nnnilK aa that of t llO .Tttntlll PSft CnVOVH VA/tUIO IUMV W* ?uv to England, charged with an examination iuio the merits and practical workings of Christianity with a view to its possible general adoption in the land of the Mikado, making report that what they had beheld in the way of preparations by the English to fight their fellow-men were so opposed to the tenets of peace which tbey, the Christian English, professed, as to disincline them to suggest any change in the national religion of Japan,one may conclude that there is just occasion for reviving the Apostle roul's sorrowful impeachment, 'The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles though you, as it is written.' "Said that self-denying missionary, William Ellis, referring to the Polynesian converts, 'When Christianity was adopted by the people, human sacrifices, infant murder and war entirely ceased.' When that fierce marauder and murderer, Afrikanes, became a Christian, he and bis people put totally away their clubs and knives, their bows and arrows aua spears. What an amazing transformation was that of the cannibal Fijians, so also that of the Samoan islanders! Concerning the latter people, a most interesting statement (which also ought to be far more widely known than is the case) was made two years ago at a Conference held at Redland Park, Bristol, England. "S. J. Whitmee, a missionary, stated that when he went to Samoa in 1863, he found the native Christians in those islands so fully convinced that war was utterly inconsistent with a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, that no person who took any part in war, either in promoting it as a statesman, or in engaging in it as a soldeir, could be a member of a Christian church. From the first acceptance of Christianity in the islauds, this became the rule. It was adopted, not in consequence ol the teaching of the earliest English missionaries upon the subject, but a conclusion which forced itself upon the minds of the Deoole themselves as hood as they understood the teaching and Spirit of Christ. He believed he was right in saying, the people were in advance of some of their missionary teachers on this subject. Had he not himself been persuaded of the unchristian character of carnal warfare before he went to Samoa, he believed he should have been converted by the people he went to teach." Would Christ be able to find IS men suitable for apostles iu any mod' em community? If so, which element would be better represented in that company?The Salvation army ol the slums, or kidglove aristocracy ol j the pews ? Young folks are often unwilling In i die.
