The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, S. C. JSTTublished every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Mr. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, is not authorized to take advertisements lor this newspaper. Sixteen [Pages. Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1894. Tbe Erskiuian. We have received the October cumber of the Erakinlan, and place It on our exchange list with pleasure. This Issue is a most excellent one, and vili rank high among the college Journals. It contains several notable articles. The editors are: Literary Department?E. S. Hamilton, editor. Editorial Department?T. W. Haynes, Editor-in-Chief. F. A. Cbesnut, E. 8. Hamilton, Eu. J. E. M. Bell, J. G. Pressly, Phi. W. A. Blakely, Business Manager. Exchange Department?K. A. Chesnut, editor. Alumni Department?J. Grier Pressly, editor. Local Department?J. E. M. Bell, editor. College Journals afford most excellent opportunities for an incite into tbe business of editor, and give practical lessons in the most Important of all tbe professions. Those who x take a pride in editorial work will And a field sufficiently large for the exercise of all their abilities, and it may be ,a training school for young men of ability who in future may attain distinction as editors and publishers. Even If tbe expense of the magazine was paid entirely out of tbe pockets of tbe young gentlemen wbo conduct It, tbe practical experience and tbe literary training wblch they will necessarily receive would more than repay them. Dining on Garbage. One difference between tbe police newspapers and tbe religious newspapers is this The police newspapers describe definitely and positively tbe specific evil doings of particular Individuals. Tbe religious press, on tbe * other hand, Beem to take pleasure in making wholesale Impersonal charges against a whole, people?a city for Instance. When one religious brother makes a dissertation on tbe wickedness of a city, and describes In glaring figures tbe misdeeds of tbe people, the other religions press seem to gloat over It, and copy It in all their papers. It may be charitable, it may be truthful, It may be cbrlstlan, to arraign and vlllify a ? whole city for the misdeeds of some, but we think it would be well not to forget that even in great cities like New York and Chicago there are some good people. It might also be well for those who vllllfy the city people to keep guard over tlieir own hearts for l'ear ibey may Indulge lu uucharltableuess and misrepresentation. A. Leuon Yesterday. i The vote for Dr. Pope, the Independent Reform candidate for Governor, against John Gary Evans, the regular nominee of the Democratic party, famishes another proof that Abbeville is not a fruitful field in which Independents may flourish. A large majority of our people participated in the primaries, and, as a rule, they felt bound not to vote againBt the nominees of the party. But, aside from the party obligations to support the nominees of the party, our people, on a dead level could not support Dr. Pope. This is largely a prohibition county?having cast about eigbty per cent. of her votes that way?as a consequence, recognizing the advantages of the dispensary system oi dealing with liquor, would vole against i)r. rope, lor me simple reason mat ue wouiu exert bis Influence for the repeal of tbe best liquor law ever put on tbe Statute boobs. Speaking for tbe Press and Banner we would vote lor no man wbo opposed tbe dispensary law as long as tbere wasan advocate of tbe law In tbe field?no matter who be mlgbt be. Tbe Metropolitan Police. If our memory Is not at fault gentlemen representing Charleston, and speaking for Charleston, at tbe tlast session of tbe Legislature pledged that city to tbe enforcement of the liquor law of this State. The question now Is, Is Charleston enforcing the dispensary law? The|Governor should enquire Into this matter, and If tbe liquor law of tbe State is opeuly violated in tbe presence of her police, then it is the duty of the Legislature at its next sitting to pass the metropolitan police bill. Tbe law should be enforced alike in every part of tbe State, and If Charleston will not enforce tbe law by her own police, and of her own appointing, then tbe Legislature should provide a polloe which will do their duty. Up to High Water Mark. "R. S. G." made Tor tbe Associate Keiormea Presbyterian an unusually Interesting account of the meeting of Synod. Tbe Press i and Banner run tbrough It with pleasure. The brief statements of the doings of Synod, tbe sub-divisions, aud tbe remarks on the speeches made a much better paper for the average reader than would tbe voluminous full report of all that was done. There Is no reason why tbe religious press should not be readable, anu "R. S. G."fur. nlsbee tbe best proof of tbe fact. When tbe other religious press realizes, as tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterian does, tbat compound dullness and extra stupidity should And no place in their oolumns, we will bear less of tbe duty of church-members to support their papers. There is no sensible reason under the sun wby a religious newspaper should not be entertaining. The Edgefield Cbroulcle. Mr. L. W. Cheatham, nephew of tbat peerless editor and courtly gentlemen, Mr. James T. Bacon, was In town for a day or two last week, representing the good old Chronicle which has friends in every part of this Tillman ridden old commonwealth. Mr. Cheatham is a young man of handsome address and good ability, and reflects credit on tbe newspaper with which he is connected. He may yel become as famous and occupy as big a place in the hiBtory ot journalism as did James Gordon Bennett or Horace Greely. We hope Mr. Cheatham may come again and stay twice as lODg as be did this lime. Former Days. We are admoDlBhed by tbe scriptures not to say thai tbe former day6 were better than - these. We are iiowalso furnished a strong proof against tbe correctness of tbe saying. In tbe forties cotton sold at Ave cents, but ever since tben tbe price bas ranged higher until now. Wblle tbese particular days may not be notably better for selling cotton, yet for fifty years the price has ranged higher itlian In the "forties." Wrested from the Jaws of Duya. We see by tbe newspapers that Uen. M. B. McSweeney, editor of tbe Hamplon Guardian, and member elect to tbe Legislature, has recovered bis health. For awhile it seems that he was in great danger of crossing tbe j River. He bad stomach, liver, kidney ana ? 1 bowel complaints, all at one time, bnt be found a patent medicine that cured all these | diseases as if by magic. We ooogratulate our esteemed brother. If he holds on to that medicine lie may live forever. I 5*S v." Cp\ '-v WEST END. Happenings and Incidents of a Week Aronuil the City.

This being a part of the interpretation of | the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar then ruler of Babylon by the prophet Daniel. Dr. Bays from the history of the past and present showed that this Kingdom of God. The church bad been and was still being set up not on the ruins of dead nations, nations that died fr?m their own weaknesses and lollies, bat tbat God had In his providence worked through natlonaltles and governments and that theli downfall was that a belter and more civilized and progress! ve people should rule, and that the church had In all times, working In and through these changes, continued to grow and Increase as it shall do forever, "and that it shall break in pieces and consume" all the Kingdoms opposed to it and its bead Jesus Christ, until every nation and every people from the North to the South pole, and from the rising to the setting of the sun shall proclaim Christ Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

The cry or hard times and five cents cotton did not seem to prevent our people, or at least a large number from taking Id the circus last Wednesday. The crowd at the afternoon performance was immense, and there was scarcely seating room for them in the big tent. At night the audience was much smaller, but large enough to pay well. A circus here lb a drawing card, and despite hard times and the general complalntof the scarcity of money the large mnjority of our people Qnd the required price ot admission and go. This circus was very good, rather above the general average. Mr. and Mrs. M.T. Coleman paid a visit to Mr. Coleman's parents at Coronaca last Monday. Mr. Aug. W.

If you will notice the lives that meet yon in your dally rounds yon cannot fall to remark on the variety of the character. Some mount to very great heights and live blissfully near to God, while others sink to the lowest depths and live beyond the remotest limits of rectitude and morality?not to say Christianity; and there Is no Christianity without morality. As 1 walk these streets inspiring pictures sometimes meet my gaze, and the grace of God and the unspeakable blessings of religious Influences are magnified and lmportanlzed. But that is not all. Would that It were. If we were blind to the faults of men would we not be trappier? Yountf man, read this. There Is one young man In Abbeville whose attention is calico to this brief note. My dear sir: I address you with a heart full of sympathy for you In your shame. You remember one day last week that I saw ! yon standing In a certain store in town. You : looked Innocent: I thought you were. You | were well dressed. Your appearance was tbat or a gentleman. I was interested In you. [1 looked at you. You returned tbe look. We almost became friends. My attention was directed to a passing friend. While we conversed 1 watched you. You remember how slyly and sneaklngly yon filled your right hand coat pocket till there was no more room, with goods from the store. You knew the clerk bad disappeared, and you kept one eye on oie, thinking I did not see you. I <lld. I am sorry. Young man, do you know that (youract was an act of theft? Do you know tbat In vour heart you are a thief? Sad thought! Terrible fact! You would rob a bank or burglarize a dwelling if escape was assured you. You had not looked on It so seriously. Every honest man will. In that act you were laying the foundation for a career that could easily and naturally lead to the penitentiary or gallows, and worst of all, to eternal perdition. Beware, I beg you ! Flee lor your life ! Make haste and escape ! Your whole life will be a failure; a shameful, a disgraceful, a most sorrowful disaster awaitayou, if this Is your beginning. I hve prayed for you that our common Master would mark out your way and keep you In it by his almighty power. I I call on you and all young men who may be la like peril to take warning. id me name of nonesty, in tbe name of human society, In the name of the mothers that bore you, tor the sake of your life now ami over yonder, and lor the sake of a loving, suffering, bleeding, dying, risen, reigning .Saviour, in bis strength and in defiance of the demons ol darkness, "quit you like men, be strong." Steal no more, labor with your own bauds, honor God and save your soul. Your friend in Christ, youi enemy In crime. J. J, Grirk. Pastor a. K. P. Church. Abbeville, S. C. DIDN'T EAT A NEGRO. Somebody Started a Bad Story on tlic IjIoiin. There Is no truth In the report that the llous connected with tbe circus Jerked a little negro through the barn of the cage and ate him last Wednesday. We learn that eye-witnesses testify that they saw the little negro taken into the cage by the paws of the lion, but we cannot believe that t here is any truth In tbe story. We haven't missed any little negro from the town, and we are notquite (k.i ??.ll IWI llnnc in ft rpsnpnlablfi show would eata poor little negro who bad done nothing worse than to come to see the circus. But we would advise little negroes to keep put of the cage of lions. They might not be of the same sort that entertained Daniel one night long ago. TheSunday school scholars may remember that the lions treated Daniel with great respect, the night he slept with them, and let him go next morning without charging him for his lodging. DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN, ?? ?? A Devoted Wife and n I'ure Christian <>oeM to Her Orave. Mrs. Ella Lander Connor, beloved wife of Dr. G. L. Connor of Cokesbury.S. C., departed this life on November 1st, afttr a brief Illness. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church, a devoted wife, a pure Christian, and died as she had lived, resigned to any demand the Master made. "Blessed are the dead who die In the Loid." The Greenwood Election?Tlie Cotton Triplets, Ac, Greenwood. S. C., Nov. 6.1S9I The voting to-day is somewhat lively, parties on both sides working vigorously. It is believed that the advocates of the Constitutional Convention will win by a small majority. There is a good deal of cotton yet In the fields to be picked. Our farmers are making a vigorous effort to pay tbelr debts In full. Mr. A. A. Morris, Greenwood's popular photographer, went to Dyson one dav last week to picture the triplets of Mrs. W. H. Boulware. Their names are Muxwell, Paul and Ituth, and a prettier and healthier trio can not be found anywhere. They are five months old and weighed at birth twenty-three and one-half pounds. Their mother weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds. The pictures or these triplets will be sold in tbe Interests of the children. Mr. Hertford Parks, soliciting agent for the UollrniHl le in til* nit v. Mr. Jones, of Coronaca, passed through the city a day or so ago en route to Atlanta to have a snrelcal operation performed on the eyes of his ten-year old son. THE PDBLIC HEALTH. Abbeville Exempt from the Affliction oT Typliolil Fever. While many towns are sulterlng with typhoid fever and other diseases produced from local causes, Abbeville lias been singularly blessed with good health. In a cliy of this size we have had on ly two | deaths ol white people this year, and they wwere chronic cases, which would have had a | laUil termination anywhere. Kxcept, fi.r the , chronic cases, our doctors would have hut lltj He to do. * Which Will You Bp, Boy*? If we are to have dunkards in the future, some of them are to come from I the boys to whom I am now writing; and I ask you again if you want to he lone of them ? No, of course you don't ! i Well, I have a plan for you that is I just as sure to save you from such a fate as the sun is to rise to-morrow j morning. It never failed; it will : never fail; and I think it worth ; knowing: Never touch intoxicating | liquor in any form. 1 Know you non-Durum now, aim il I seems to you as if you never would, j But your temptation will come, and i it will probably come in this way: you will find yourself sometime with a number of companions, and they will have a bottle of wine or other spirits with them. They will drink and offer it to you. They will regard it as a manly practice, and very ljkely they will look upon you as a milksop if you don't indulge with them. Then, what will you do ? Will you say : "No, no! none of that stuff for me!" Or, will you take the glass, with your own common sense protesting, and then go off with a hot head and n skulking soul that at once begins to make apologies for itself, and will keep doing so all its life? Boys, do not become drunkards. Wasted Prayer.?I remember a great blessing that I received. We were sitting around a fireside in the autumn ; a friend of nine was sitting at my right hand, and other men in a mrrtlo anil nria hpfrfln hv frivilichis e.X perience that autumn night in the twilight. After we had gone round, an old clergyman got up and said : "May I say a word?" We said, "Certainly;'' and he said, "I am a man of a violent temper, and I used to pray against my temper a good deal, and never got the better of it; aud one day I had charge of a party of children, and the children were very uproarious, and I was on the very point of losing my temper. Prayer hadn't seemed to help me, but that afternoon T was suddeuly turned to Christ, and sa;d, 'I claim your patience, Lord, and suddenly the "storm in my heart died down, and I could have stood a hundred timesasmany children making any amount of noise without losing my temper, and ever since then I have learned to leave everything to God, and I feel that I am in God's plan. I claimed his patience. I claimed in weakness his strength, I claimed his direction and power, and I have always kept claiming according to my faith."?Meyer.

The average man or woman does not ( we, at least as far as can be seen l?y I outward appearances",to have it known , that he or she really sympathizes with j the fallen, the outcast If noes not1 | seem quite the thing. Or, if oiiu really does have this feeling strong in the j heart, it does not seem quire proper to! express it. It is still harder to put it | in practice. How many of us would ; be willing to take the hands of those j steeped in sin and welcome them to the foot of the cross, and urge them to I go there arid believe they would find j help, comfort, strength, and salvation? Taik or principles! Theory is one thing and constant practice another. | Without question many of us would j be surprised at ourselves, at our feel- , ings, if we should cornein contact with the lower classes. We would not be-i lieve that there was such a difierence between what we profess, what our theory has been, and what we are really ready to practice. Only by lookiDg at the life of a loving Christ, and trying in every possible manner to walk in his footsteps, can we realize what he would do were he on earth ; how I his hand would go out quickly to the outcast, no matter how dirty, no raat: ter how low and degraded the character. Nor should we find him doubt* iug whether 9uch a one could be saved or not. There are opportunities to see exactly where we stand on this question, and every Christian ought to be in the right position, where not only in theory, but in actual practice, he can work for the outcast with a loving, tender, sympathetic heart, glad to do it for Christ's sake, beleaving that for and in and through Christ all can find pardon, help, and safety. "The Uottpel nn?l Guiin." At least two of Chicago's swell churches, one of the Episcopal persuasion, the other holding to the doctrine of cold water and plenty of It, have organized, armed and drilled military companies among their younger membership. In the Episcopal church meniioued, the choir boys are given military drill and are supplied with real guns and bayonets.

What do You Mean ? r 1,000 dozen J. & P. Coats Soool Cotton at 35c dozen or 3c for one spool. We mean what we say, and you can find it in stock whenever you call for spool cotton. This price is for Customes and not Merchants. 100 DOZ. of those Wonderful TOWELS that have been puzzling the minds of other merchants to know where they could buy just such a Towel to sell lor tnis money ? 10 CENTS EACH. Ne have got 40 pieces of 3-4 DRESS SUITING that have given them the same trouble. We only ask 5 cts. per yard; others can't sell them for less than 10 cts. per yard. Wo nsft t.hft Gash Dollar, and this is what saves you the money. Now, when you need a Hat, Bonnet or a Child's Hat, DON'T be lead off by the FOOL TALK that some will give you, "that these Goods are Painted, and that We Can't Sel You the Best CANTON YACHT HAT made at 10 CENTS." Come and see, and don't take our word or that of any any one else until you see. We mean to say we are here to sell goods, and all we ask is 10 per cent. We have no old goods to put off on you. We don't mean to do any one harm, but we expect to sell goods at 10 per cent., and we don't want any more, although you will have those 35 and 50 per cent, houses tell you that business can't be run at this small profit. We had a reliable man to tell us that an Anderson merchant told him that we could not afford to sell at this price. We can dou ble this amount six times a year, which will give us 65 per cent., and then we get 9 per cent, off for discounts and interest, which will give us 69 per cent.; and yet you only pay 10 per cent, on anything you buy. Give us a call and let other merchants do the talking, we are going to sell the goods. With best wishes, we remain Yours respectfully. Wm. E. Bell Cash do.
