The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. T ABBEVILLE, S. C. u ________ l( BS?~Published every Wednesday at r< a year in advance. B . tl Wednesday, Aug. 7, 1895. J,1 Division, or No Division ? Drawing ( Itbe Line, or Obliterating Factions. n The proposition to make a formal division J" of candidates for the Stale Convention was wisely voted down. Abbeville made nodi, vision. Neither faction asked or promised I anything. But by general consent all can- fi didates entered the field, announced their v\ convictious and left the matter to the whole o people. ci Jt then followed that one Conservative and tl thirteen Reformers entered the race. e The Conservative candidate joined the Reform candidates in urging the people to go to the polls, and give a free and unprejudiced u expression of their wishes at the polls. b No appeals were made to factional preju- ? dice. The candidates rail as Democrats, who S| were willing, and who were pledged to abide " '"> nr the nrimarv election. The result was, that the Conservative can- t< didate was elected second on the ticket, re- 'i ^ ceiving more votes than any of the fourteen candidates, saving and excepting only one. ?| The eflect of the refusal to go into a trade, k or combine, has been to obliterate factional j lines and bring peace and harmony to the Tl people of Abbeville county. a We are practically a united people, though * it is true that in some sections of the Couuly, b the vote was small. The staying away from the polls was not for P. ^ any purpose of voting with the Negroes In f? support of a Negro or Independent ticket at 11 > the general election. It is thought that there were more Reformers than Conservatives ab- ? sent from the polls last Tuesday, and if it were possible lor the Independents and Negroes to get up a ticket it is probable that no e. decent while man in Abbeville County would '! vote for it. Some twenty-four hundred white j men have taken tbe oath and voted in the v, r primary. It is fair to presume that none ol that number will perjure themselves. If they do not, then, if a full vote should be polled at ti the general election on the 20th November, * there are only nine hundred unpledged, a i majority of whom are Reformers. The chances of gaining votes is reduced to less ( than four hundred. The probability is, that even if the four hundred are disaffected, that " three-fourths of that number would refuse to j( affiliate with the Negroes as against their neighbors. With tbe prospect of getting less ^ than a hundred votes, it is not at all very likely that we will have an Independent ^ ticket In the field. At the present writing we (| bave not heard the least Intimation that there would be one. w Tbe Soldiers Get au Inning:. P The event of last Monday was the fifth aD- 1 naal meeting of the Confederate Survivors. It was the largest meeting ever held. The Coart Room was packed until all the seats lc were filled and all the standing space was ocpiinlml. ? At half past eleven o'cock President W. M. Grler called the meetlDg to order, and Adju- .V tant Lynn called the roll. After a few re- $ marks. President Grler asked Dr. J. O. Lind- b say to say a prayer. Tbe president presented ei Hon. J. S. Cothran, who was the orator of the v day. His subject was the Second Battle of p Manasses, with incidental personals and side tl lights thrown in. Judge Cothran's speech was Q the best that we huve had at any of our re- j unions. Tbe eoldiers took part iu that battle, b The speech was conspicuous because of t he absence of the Big I, and tbe presence of "We." "We" fought that battle. The Big I was not there. The horses took a very small ' part in tbe battle of Manasses, though some ol them acted most gallantly in other battles. e No speech has ever met the requirements so " well, or met so enthusiastic an endorsement from the old soldiers. They regarded the historic sketch as true, and recognized tbe * * * ' 1 ~ nroica tn ? ~ rairness 01 me speascr m awmuius p?ioi, .v tbem, and la not attempting to absorb It all ( for the officers and horses. By a unanimous vote the Survivors asked the Judge to furnish a copy of the speech for publication In the County papers. The Judge at first declined, , but the Survivors Insisted, and so It is that the readers will bavean opportunity of read, lng It. Murdering Missionaries. London. Aug. 6.?The correspondent of the Times at Shanghai says that the missionaries killed at Kucbeng were murdered by an organized band of eighty of the vegetarians. The correspondent says: "The ladles begged for their lives, promising to yield their property and valuables, but the leader of the band shouted out his orders to kill them outright " A corrected list of the victims is as follows : Kev. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Miss Nellie 1 Saunders aud Miss Lena Irish, burnt iu house. Miss Stettie Newcomb wus speared and thrown down a precipice. . Miss Marshall had her throat cut. 1 Miss Gordon, speared In the brain. . Miss Topsy Saunders, skuil fractured and ? brain exposed. Master Herbert Stewart, skull fractured and ( brain exposed. ( Lena Stewart, died from shock. c * The above speaks for itself. NVe hold up our hands In holy horror. The Christian world f will lament the atrocious crime. [ While we have nothing to say In extenua- l tlou of the murder of these people, let our 1 people not forget how generously and how ? kindly we treat the Mormon missionaries, t We believe we have killed very few of them, ^ uui tue uuruoer mat we uavu u&?cu ?r...u ^ stripes will never be known. r The Chinese regard their religion as sacred, ? and when we Interfere witb them they are t outraged, eveu as feel outraged at the pres- j ence of the Mormon missionaries. 1 Tbe Christian religion can never make Its impress on China until tbe mass of tbe Chin- g ese reach a higher civilization, aud their civ- 1 ilizatlon will never be higher until they have jj a simpler language. Tbe great difficulty of learning to read their language will forever ' act as a barrier to their civilization, without which the Christian religion can never get a t foothold. ? ? ? t Mkskics. Wilson & McMillan have made j half million brick on their contract for the t fuctory. A kiln of 150,(XX) has been burnt. A ^ kiln of 'i85,WW is now ready to fire. The outlook for the factory was never fairer or more promising. 11 Is possible tbata meeting of tbe stockholders will be called at an early day to Instruct tbe directors as to their B future action. Tbe architect has not yet sent in bis design for the building, and hence it is not yet known G how many brick will be neeaeu. xne cou- i tractors have been given notice to make ? 1,500,000. Jndge Mclver has granted a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Sheppard, who is now ^ undergoing sentence In the penitentiary for contempt of court in selfrng liquor after having been restrained. Judge Mclver is opposed to the registration law, and Is opposed to that faction of the Democratic party which is now in power. We expect Sbeppard to be 1 released. A man ought not to be punished for disregard of the dispensary law. c - ~ t A Sensible Doctor. [ Dr. Howell before a Coroner in Geergia recently made the following among other state- ^ menls: t "I did not deem it necessary to probe for the ' bullet. Nine times out ol ten it is more dan- 3 gerous to probe for a bullet than let it re- { main." ^ This is common sense. Il any of your j jrleuds should get shot, remember what Dr. 1 idowell says. * t, GOFF IS OUT OF IT. he Negroes and the Independants Without Hope of Judicial Interference in their Behalf. As everybody knows, the uegroes have been laking another appeal to tbe Federal Courts > upset the registration laws of this State.

I thought you would be interested in knowiese facts, and so take the time to give them, ut let me repeat this is only for your own yes, so far as 1 ain concerned.

It Is tlnn something was being said and done. Ther were hundreds who refused to go to Chicag< just because the managers refused to close tn gates on the .Sabbath.

H< did uot want the "Sunday" opening, and wa i consplclous by his absence. When it wa i found that the expenses were more than th j income on Sabbath, tbe managers were anx j lous to close tbe gates, but they had gone to j far and the courts forbade the closing. Fron ; the fowest standpoint of worldly gain th j experiment was a notable failure." ; The Press and Banner copies the above par j agraphs from the . the Associate Reformet Presbyterian. There can be no question as to the duty o ! all Christian people in regard to the obser J vance of the Sabbath day. We believe tbu l-Cbrislians everywhere will agree that It 1 our duty to "remember the Sabbath day ti | keep it holy." { But the question here is, what should hi done. I The editor of tbe Press and Banner was li I Chicago during the World's Fair. The ques tion ot Sunday opening bad been discussei by the religious press ot the country, ant whatever lnflueuce these papers and th church could exercise was put to agaius the opening of the Fair Ground Park. No one word had been said about opening th other parks of the city, and we presum* j from that fact, that many persons did no ! know of the opening of the gates of any part i on Sunday, except the Fair Grounds. Notb | ing was said about the running of the trains the keeping open of the hotels, tbe presents tion of vulgar and corrupting scenes in th theaters on Sunday and Sunday nights. The editor being Interested to know of hi I owu knowledge the facts concerning th( ! opening of the Fair Grounds on Sunday, weD to see for himself what tbe Fair Ground were on Sunday. The grounds were deserted. The bulldlngi were closed. We saw little but bare wallf and long stretches of vacant space, with onl] here and there a little group. The gates uuwever, were rciji ujjcu uuu mo ers were ready to receive the tickets. Th show id its legal aspect was going ob But the exhibitors, the booth keepers, and th people were not there. With all the exhibits closed, the macblner standing still, and tbe booth keepers absent the people pre lerred to go to some of th other splendid parks, where an lmmens multitude of people could be seen enjoylni themselves, each in his own chosen waj These parks, with their splendid equipages their flowing lountalus, their green hills ant pleasant levels, their placid waters am their swiftly gliding boats made a sceni more pleasing and more Inviting. By coir iiiou consent the people by tbe thousands at sembled In the parks morning and evening where seemingly all had a merry time, ap parently all unconscious of the fact that I was the Lord's day. The danger in Atlanta is not so much lc volved in the opening or closing of the gate on Sunday, as In the making of other place more attractive. The opening and closing of the gates oi Snndaylsa matter ot small coucern. Th attractions of the day at that place will b made or marred by the exhibitors If the; stop their machinery and close their bootb anu stop their exhibits, the people will hun more interesting or more diverting scenes. The probability is, Judging trom Chlcagc that the parks around Atlanta will be mad attractive. The city railroad trains will b run to their fullest capacity, and thou,' and upon top of thousands of people, will go else where on Sunday than to tbe Fair Ground! The theaters will no doubt drawgreat crowdf and the barrooms and many immoral place will furnish resorts for thousands of peopl< If the Fair Grounds at Atlanta are mane ged or governed half as well as were the Fal Grounds In Chicago, the grounds of the grea exhibit will be the safest and best place fo rh? npnnlp. The Chicago show was so wel managed that one saw neither Improper per sons or Improper conduct on the grounds. The great thing to do, Is to Impress goo moral principles on the people who go to tb show. They are not going to shut themselve up at their boarding nousas. As they will g out, the effort should be to keep thee from going to Improper places. We need religion of principle, which will make a ma conduct hlmsell as well away from home a he does at home. When we go abroad and see preachers, plou women and sanctimonious enurebmen gac ding about a great city on Sunday, makln merry wnile naving a good time generally the average man is shocked and is led l doubt the sincerity oi their professions c Christian faith. According to onr way c thinking there is nota great difference in tb conduct of a majority of people who g abroad. The rule seems 10 be to disregar the Sabbath day. Then if our Chrlstlai biethreu would do a real service, let thee urge church-members to deport them selves properly when they go abroad. ] matters not 60 much what others may do, s long as we ourselves do the right thing, an let our light shine so that others may see tb way and learn the right. The Presbyterlau says that hundreds o Christians refused to go to Chicago becaus the gates were open on Sunday. In?taying away those Christians made mistake. If they had gone their vis'.on might have been made clear, and their con , cepii<>08 of the great show would have ajtei ed. They would have thought better of thl 1 sin-stricken world If they had 6een the grea multitudes of the best people of Americi ; No aggregation of people could show a hlghe general standard for respectability, intell gence, and, we presume, religion and moral too.

Gained by Some Very Interesting Experiments hile no one depth can be named as in all soils, it is a fact that the old aod of rather shallow planting and ng up around the growing plants by many potato growers, been super d by deep planting and compara- E y level culture. In 1888, on The il New Yorker's experiment grounds. # e out of live rows of a small plot p } by high culture and fertilizing A e to produce at the rate of 1.076, 083 K 605 bushels to the acre, respectively. seed was planted in trenches 8 inches B \ and 12 inche3 wide. No one has irimented more on the subject of M ? or shallow planting than Mr. Car, who conducted these experiments, following are given as the average Its for three seasons' trial on The m al grounds on a different soil. 2 inches deep. 215 bushels per acre. S 4 inches deep, 289 bushels per acre. R 6 inches deep, 233 bushels per acre. 8 inches deep, 257 bushels per acre. ^ 10 inches doep, 240 bushels per acre. k ie soil was uaturally poor and thin ^ had never received any manure.

Renewing Seed. aere is no question about the wisdom snewingseed, and especially small ns, from a distance. Grain that has i repeatedly sown in the same vicinwill "run out"?that is, have a grady weaker vitality, and to resist these ase conditions we must renew the of the seed. Renewals from the e county or the same parallel of lati! are not sufficient, but the new seed ild be brought from a locality that essentially different climatic coodib. The general principle, according ?ield and Farm, is that we should k from the north toward the south these renewals, but this rule, of se, has its limitations from natural tes. With wheat and oats the same . should not be used for more than e successive seasons. t Killing Hoc#- ' is not altogether easy to describe process known as sticking a hog, bat I 1 the assistance of a cnt Prairie I mer manages to make it understood. * > begin right get the hog securely in n that will jnst hold him.
