fcf ' * The Press and Bannei BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. {?"Published every Wednesday i S2 a year in advance. Wednesday, Sept. 18, 1895, The Convention. The Convention made Butler County (tc merly called Saluda) from a portion of F.dg field County, and then resolved to make t more new Counties. This will leave Gree wood, Ninety-Six, McCormick and aboi twenty other proposed new counties to app to the Legislative for the organization their counties. The county question hi had the right of way, and the members ha' thought of but little else. iv. As the new county question promised occupy so much time, it was resolved to ref the whole matter to the Legislature. Uncle George Tillman is a good talker, ar somewhat voluminous. Many bills have been introduced affectii every conceivable tbing, but it is likely tl old Constitution will be re-enacted or adop ed with only a few changes here and thei The proposition to divide the school tax wi almost certainly be adopted by the Convei tion, when the tax payer may name tt school to which the tax will go, or If he do< not name it, then it is to go to the school f< the race to which he belongs. . Charleston will be put on a footiDg wit other counties. Her special privilege i having double representation will not be ei grafted on the new Constitution. The proposed expensive system of Count Government may become a law. The naming of Butler County is not satl factory to some of the members, and an e fort may be made to change the nam Without reference to the merits or demeri of the Butler family generally, or of Genen Butler in particular, this newspaper is oppo ed to tne nammg 01 auj wuu.j ?. We are opposed to that kind of hero worshij and would protest against the naming < any county for any man, however merit rious he may be. The area of Counties will likely be reduce so that almost any large planter can get Court House at his quarter, provided he dot not conflict with the Interest of some oth< planter. Ninety-Six and McCormlck stand pretl well with the Convention, but any arrang xnent whereby Saluda and Greenwood wou! pull together gave each considerab strength. Now that Saluda has landed, tt ,, opposition to Greenwood seems likely to pr vail, and all Counties wll! have to go to tt Legislature. The effort to have elections only every fot years will fall. There will be no change io the term of tt State officers. Many alterations and complications of tl; home-stead law ba%'e been proposed, but It likely that the old law will stand as it is. There is an effort to put the dispensary 1 (I the Constitution, where it belongs and Bhoul * go, but there is opposition, and the flnt result Is doubtful. The registration law which has stood tti test of the Courts, should stand. Let the Constitution tinker with the frai cbise as much as they please, but as long a we have the good and honest reglstratio that has been in existence In South Carolim we are safe. The ballot has been carefull >' protected under it, and we should not be le . ofl after any untried experiments. Weough to kuow a good thing when we have It. ?"' Saluda?Not Butler. V'/ In the Convention on Monday there was hot disoussion over the proposition to substl tute "Saluda" for "Butler" in the formatioi . * of a new county from portion of Edgefleic B. R. Tillman, and George D. Tillman tool leading parts. B. R. Tillman favored "Salt da," while George D. Tillman wished to se the name of "Butler" attached to the count; Irby took part with George D. Tillman an against B. K. Tillman. Tillman's good luc followed him and the vote shows that be ha not lost his influence. The vote stood 80 fc Saluda, 34 for Butler?the Conservatives ger r TI.A P/mtrantlA erany vounj; ior "duuci. xuc wuicuwv dlil tbe right tbing In not affixiDg anybody' < ; nome to a county. . ? ? THE EVANGELISTS. .?-. Service* .Still Attracting Lars: Crowds. Tbe Evangelists. Messrs. McConnell an Kinard are still holding day and night serv ces at their tent. The attendance on Sunday night was som< what larger than usual. It Is said the seatin capacity of their tent is six hundred. If thl Is so there must have been at least one t.boui and persons present Sunday night. Ever night the tent is filled, while numbers stan around outside. A great many come fror the country. These Evangelists do not seem to hav much of a pull with that portion of our pec pie who may be styled the best people and w have heard that it has been said that th Evangelists would "eet" nobody, except th common people. The remark, If made I seemingly unKina. oui n jn reamy e&t>rc*?c the Idea of our blessed Redeemer who cam not to save the righteous, but to call slnnei to repentance. Our saviour when he was o earth worked with the humble and lowlj and as far as we know, never said an unkln word of them. His heart was full of love fc the common every day people, and hepreacl ed especially to them. In his career the onl scathing speeches which he made were < those who were the best people?eveD of th self-righteous fellows who said their prayei on the street corners and gave their alms bi fore men. While these humble Evangelists hold n high place In the Synagogue, and while the do not possess the eloquence of St. Paul n( possibly the sweetness and the love of S John, yet they are preaching to, and appea log to the same kind of people that 01 Saviour preached to. It Is a great thing l bring immoral people to a higher standard < living. The community is made better, an such person has become a better citizen. Bi what matters It to the community. If a mori man, an honest man, an upright neighbor, c a kindly, generous hearted man, concludes t Join the church? He goes on inthesamewa as before. But if a reprobate, or a notorloi violator of the precepts and laws of goo citizenship renounce his ways and Joins th church a great good has been done. In h conversion and salvation is not the good an 1 Cmlnnr ovamnl perinoi, wurK ui wui uivd^u ?'U..wU, V?V,.,K1 fled? If this Is so, then why throw stumbling block in the way of these humbl Evangelists who are preaching as best the know, the doctrines and tenets of the Hoi Scriptures? If they should turn any repri hate from his sinful way they will not labc In vain, nor will their work be without goo result to the community. The indications are that the Evangelis think they struck slate when they opens tbelrtentin Abbeville. While people floe to the meeting they maintain that salvatic Is free. Some kindly disposed persons too up a collection yesterday for the purpose < defrayine the expenses. If the Evangelists will hereafter adopt tt plan of frequently handing around the hi they will find no trouble In raising the nee ?d funds. A SPLENDID OPERA. * The Young Lfidles to Cilve ? .MiihIci AM#alnmnn t. The young ladles are practicing ou a nl< little opera which they hope to give ne: week. This Is the way it was gpoken of els where: 'Laila" was given for the second time t the pupils of Hillside Grammar School, la evening, to a full house, and the performan was even better than the first, which left 1 tie to be desired. This operetta is an interes lng production ; the music is of a high orde yet not too difficult for an ordinary class yonng singers; the libretto is pure,and 1 tendency is wholly to elevate the minds children, teaching them that doing good not always left unrewarded In this worl Although the expenses were considerable f< orchestra, scenery, Ac., the net profits of tl two evenings are about two hundred dollai which It Is proposed to expend mostly l'i picture* to decorate the rooms of the solioo ?Boatun Traveller. r ? ft' |f i ! - - - _ M ? i | ^ I 1 1 j >rr. nut iy of IS re to er j id : t? w : lg : 5 s : ie : ? -o -o : ? o c8 : ,l" > Z Z : re r- : ? : u. 5 Q- j 3 i ie h ?s T>r 5; !

Lons About 820,000, Partly Cove le eel by Insurance. ,e At about twelve minutes past two o'cloi e- on last Sunuay morning tbe alarm of II . was given. The night policeman J. S. Fish observed the light reflected In the clouds ai Immediately tired his pistol two or tbr ir times and cried "Fire! Fire!" Mr. Tbos. Carlisle, watchman at the C Mill, says that be saw the Are, and gave tl ie alarm In bis section when the blaze was qui small. ie thk kirk department promptly on ti is SPOT. In a little while tbe whole fire departrnei u turned out. and did all that was possible (j save property from the devouring element, ll ORIGIN OK THE FIRE. The fire was first seen coming out of tl e roof of planing mill, and soon the light w great enough to Illuminate the town. Tl planing mill was surrounded by wood* buildings and the flames spread In ail dire is Hons, and it is astonishing how soou sms Q wooden buildings will disappear before tl fire. * From the first It was evident that tl y ginnery and Hill's Livery Stable would g d and no effort was made to stay ihe progre of the fire, until the New Hotel and the Ai 11 ton House were endangered, on one side, an the flames took possession of the biacksmlt shop on the other. Great effort was made, which was su cessful, to save Max Brook's shop. It wi feared that if his shop had burnt the Kpisc a pal church which stood Just across the stree 1- might have been lost. Q THE WRECKAGE COMMITTEE GO TO WORK. ' The first work which was done in the wa ^ 01 Bavlng property was at A. M. Hill's stable i- The horses, about fifty In number, were sei nut.of the stable, unbridled and unhaiterei They came out and scampered through tt *. public square, aud roamed about at will, ui [j til daylight, when nearly all of them tum? k up at the old place, looking for their breal last when the Messrs. Hill took them to tt iS stable of Aug. W. Smith. ,r After the Horses were liberated every effoi was directed to moving the many vehlcli wbich were stored on the lot. The carrlas n repository, containing new vehicles wi s emptied before the flames reached It. When the Are came in proximity to tl: New Hotel and the Alston House men nevi worked more herdlcally. From roof an windows water was constantly thrown on tl timbers which were ready to blaze. The Ne Hotel was uninjured but the Alston Housi which Is a wood structure, bears evideni that It had been tried as If by Are. e Going before the flre effort was mat to save Younger's market house, and wll slight injury that building is still standing, d But in the central part of the lot the fl 1- made its way unobstructed. From Htll shed the stable and shop In rear of Youni 3- er's market cau&ht flre, and it soon ei g through to the wall which was near to tl l? tenant bouse of Dr. Thompson's. In a litt s- while it was enveloped In flame, and tl y kitchen next caught flre, which was soo d communicated to the elegant mansion of U n Thomson. While the flre was coming in the directlc e just described, It was eating its way to tl 1.1 ninnoro onri thpn to Mve blacksmith at fl Sir. Mabery's home. e The fire commenced a little alter tw e o'clock. and raged with great fury. It wi Is not until about live o'clock that the progre g oi the flames was stopped. ie The vast amount of dry timber that wi u destroyed made a great Are and lighted 1 n the townjand surrounding country, r. Nearly everybody in town came to Ree tl d Are and to render any assistance possible, ir While tbere is considerable loss by the ft i- yetj it is true that no one will be wrec y ed or seriously hurt in estate. All the parti )f to the loss are able to sustain their loss.ar ie none of them will eat any less or wear an g less in future. Mr. J. Allen Smith, whose lo e- is greater than any other uninsured tak his loss in good spirit, and declines even o put an estimate on his losses. PROMINENT CITIZENS COMK HOME TO FIG* t. FIRE. The fire occured some ten or fifteen mlnuti aftter the Seaboard train passed Abbevili , Capt. L. W. Whlteand Hon. J. C. Klugb can d on that train. Mr. Blanton and Pollcemn t Fisher met the train. Mr. Fisher came lo tl f Public Square, and before Capt. White, M )r Klugb and Mr. Blanton got to bed, the alar was given. It seems that the fire broke 01 suddenly. Mr. Blanton and Capt. Whl . * passed Church Street, thence along the Mc \ ley Ferry Street, and saw nothing of it. If had been burning at the time they pnss( they could not have failed tosee it Mr. Fis fl er came up from the depot to the l'ubl r square, tie saw noming 01 liai iuai um ' but in a few minutes be saw tbe reflection < the light on the overhanging clouds, and b ? fore the blaze Itself was visible to him, 1 recognized that it was a fire and gave tl ~ alarm. ," It seems that Captain White and Mr. Kluc reached home Just in time to help subdue tl flames, and no one did more thau they ^ stopping the flre. *1 LOOKING A It 110AI) FOR HELP. k m At one time the situation appeared i ik threatening that there was much desire of send abroad for help. In answer to that <1 mand, our authorities telegraphed to Gree ie ville and Athens. No answer came fro it Greenville. Athens telegraphed back : GENEROUS OFFER. "We are at the disposal of our neighbors time of trouble. Command us. "Geo. MclJorman, "Chief Fire Department." In answer to another telegram from our a " thoritles the Athens people said: "Athens ready. Can reach you In two hou ?? ?uu vweiuy uuuuim auer nonce. n.u?i< fired up." * Upon reflection, It was thought that becau of the scarcity of water and the progre which the tire had already made that the fl ; company could not be of service, our May telegraphed as follows: it" ABIIEVILLK'S OKATITl'DK. Itir. To Geo. McDorman : of "Chief Fire Department, Athens : tu "Our people are very grateful to you fi of your offer of assistance, but it seems that tl is flre will soon be under control. d. "R. M.

The existence < , a cotton gin and a planing mill in the middl I of these buildings was a menace. | The loss of Dr. Thomson's bouse Is to be r< \ gretted, and it is the only structure that ws | destroyed that will not oe replaced by safe and better buildings. Dr. Thomson's hous I was one of the very best in the town. It wa ;rT! erected by W. James Lomax in 18(50. Durin , ' I the war it was transferred to Mrs. McDonalc ,e ! of Columbia. It was afterwards sold for d vision in the early seventies, when Thos. I , Quarles became the owner and lived in it ui " til recently. 8- THE FEELING OF THE PEOPLE?ACTIONS O '|jj CITY COUNCIL. While we believe that do one is glad of th c* I loss which the parties have sustained, yet w is believe that there is a leellng of relief the o- the wooden structures are gone, and we b< it, I lieve the City Counoil have passed an ord nance forbidding the erection of woode | buildings within five hundred feet of tfc | Public Square. In crowded districts we bi iy lieve that no one should be allowed to put u s wooden buildings that endanger the safety i neighbors.
