S * s Convention Short .Stop*. A The time lor the introduction of new mat- w tern into the Convention has passed. Many 8 of the Bills or Ordinances heretofore Intro- g duced have been passed upon by the commit- tl tees, and It is fair to presume that the Con- n vention will now go actively to work. Before {j the week is out we may expect" to see the beginning of the end. It now seems that few 1 radical changes will be made. Mr. Klugh has introduced some good bills, c among which is one to protect the people in b the matter of insurance. The time lor Charleston's double representation in the Senate is drawing to a close. v The subject of small counties Is still one of ? more or less Interest, and great effort will be & made to facilitate the organization of coun- L ties In remote sections. The homestead will likely remain as it is. tj The disposition of the liquor question seems si to satisfy those who are opposed to the dls- P pensary. The dispensary law is made constl T,>? T oukiamrp will have power to regulate the liquor traffic. The right to vote will be conferred on tax- jj paying leinales in towns and cities in elec- y tions where taxation and the incurring of n debt is inyolved. d The State will likely refuse to grantdlvorce, 0 but will recognize divorces granted In other a States. Jj The school tax will no doubt be divided among the races. 2 The Legislature did the right thing In giving the printing to Calvo. He is the public printer, and was entitled to it by every reason of fairness. The office of public printer should be rec- ^ ognlzed as any other office is recognized, and the price should be fixed by law. As well let out the offices of Governor, Superintendent H of Education, or any other office, to the low- 11 est responsible bidder. If the county offices JJj were let out to the lowest bidder we have no tl doubt that men could be found who would be willing to fill the offices lor less money than s( the salary fixed bylaw. The public printer c< Is a most important and responsible one. Jc If he Is incompetent be may delay the sessions of the Legislature. If he is disloyal to the party or faction in power he could, if he so elected, sometimes defeat legislation by his dilatory work. L The Convention will perhaps fix the pay of ? members of the General Assembly at three n dollars a day. Such action is wrong, and is done in the interest of that class who seek to J rule the Slate. No^ood representative, as a matter or money, can aQord to go toColum- I. bia for less than five dollars a day. The Leg * islature did a small, picayune business in fix- * ing the pay of members ol the Convention at si two dollars. It is a poor sort of a statesman ^ that isn't worth five dollars a day. Speaking t lor the Press and Banner, on an Independent tl question of salaries, we would vote for no man who thinks his services are worth less s tnan live uouars. ii, is a ?cij oui?u, ? very cheap business, to ask a Legislator to take a fee less than sufficient to pay bis board a at a good hotel. lJ The Abbeville members of the Convention 1 came home Saturday but they have gone back. We are inclined to the opinion that the Convention will not be unnecessarily prolonged. Mr. McGowan Introduced a bill to make the s age of consent and of lawful marriage sixteen 0 years. This bill ought to be killed. The age of responsibility in feuch matters should be ri the same as the age for accountability for murder, arson, theft, etc. No amount of legislating can restore a soiled dove and no u amount of persecution will prevent moral of- t< fences of this sort. Up to this time the Convention has under 11 consideration enough legislation, with which it has proper connection, to fill a large volume. It is to be hoped that a large per cent, of it will be killed. The Convention. In another part of the Press and Banner wa give two full puges of interesting matter about the Convention. Readers of this paper will have no cause of complaint of us about not reporting the Convention. We have a made excellent arrangements for giving full accounts of the most interesting actings and doings of that Important body. The speeches of George and Ben Tillman, with the other little speeches appended as frills make readable reading. WELCOME BACK. Mr. James IIoucIhn Omitlus Brings IIIn Friend Nr. I>e Barron to Nee ^ His Old Home In Abbeville. p Mr. James Douglas Dundas, who will he J1 well remembered by all of the older residents l' of Abbeville as having lived here lor many " years at the old Dundas residence, arrived in ? town Monday alternoon en route to the At- h lanta Exposition. Mr. Dundas is accompa- " njed by his friend Mr^Deonardo de Karros, j* son of the former Brazilian minister at the " court of his late Imperial Majesty Dom Pe- P dro. Emperor of Br.-zll. These young gentle- J' man are making an extended tour of the 11 Sooth, and will take in the historic scenes about Chlckamauga, on their way farther west. The Pres6 and Banner was pleased to greet them in the office, and to extend to them the privileges of the city. Mr. Dundas says that s* there have been many changes since he left v here, and we say that he has changed, too. " He Is no longer a lad, but Is now a six-footer. r handsome and manly in his deportment. All P his old friends and comrades welcome him " hlo uanial unH AAnrlonno fpion/l to thp I llfl stamping ground, where he spent some hapDy boyhood days. They left yesterday by the ; Southern Railway and are now In Atlanta, ' taking In the big show. GONE TO CONVERSE. a A Talented Young l.ndy in Oil' to Spartanburg* Miss Eva Kirby, who Is noted for her mod- g esty and musical talent, left yesterday by the 8. A. L. to attend the sessions of Converse College for the coming scholastic year. Miss Kirby is not rich in gold, but she Is blessed ? with natural endowments, and Is rich In good 1 friends. Through the instrumentality ot her teachers, Prof. Bailey and Miss Blake, I'rof. Wilson, ol Converse College made her one ol the beneficiaries of the live one hundred dollar scholarships which he awards annually to worthy young ladies. Then her brother, Mr. U Foster Kirby, of Atlanta, in the pride and a natural love for a sister of whom he Is Justly proud, furnished the balance of the tuition v oo/i Knofrf eiar, Thic sneaks volumes for a ? worthy young man, and in bis devotion to a ^ worthy young sister be gives the best evidence) of bis own high character and sterling worth. c WILL BEBUILD. \ t Au Kiiter|>rlHiu?

In the llrst place we have one of the handsomest 1 nchool buildings in the State. It has all ol the latest improvements, and it i6 in every way adapted to the purposes for which it wat built. Modern in design and archetecture, located upon one of our principal streets and ' in the center of our city it is an ornament to our place. It has an able corps of teachers, and the huge attendance of pupils which it commands shows its popularity with oui 1 people. And then the colored people loo have yood schools. Perhaps in uo place of equal size In the State has this element as line school structures as here. The Abbeville Literary Club is an orfcanlza IIUIJ WHICH iciicvm vicuib ii|>uuuui ^icupicouu it has done much to foster and develop a literary taste amongst, us. The Club Is now some twenty years old. It acts as a mental stimuls and encourages a love for books and reading and too its social advantages pro motes good fellowship and helps to build up a fraternal spirit. Abbeville's historic past is something for which we have cause to be thankful. No people can be great without their historic assoclatous. Sentiment In one sense is an extremely practical thing. It makes and unmakes a people. Abbeville has behind her a grand and glorious past, rich In noble lessons and heoric lives. She has always been ldeentitled with those who were arrayed upon the side of virtue and truth. Her citizens have reflected honor upon her upon the battle field, and In times of peace as well. We must not part witli these grand old associations. We should cling to them as a priceless possession. Oneadvantage which we prize mosthighly If the new spirit of enterprise which Is beginning to pervade our people. It Is making Itself lelt on every side. Young men, buoyant with hope and full of courage and detei ml nation, are coming tothelront. Fresh blood > Is being infused into our leadership and on, ward and upward seem to be the watchwords, The newspapers located here stiould always be mentioned when refereoce Is made to tht educational advantages of our city. Tht Press and Banner aud Medium are two of the . best county papers in the State, and the col I ored people also have a paper published hert called the Christian Q,ulver, which serves tc stimulate the educational thought of the col ored race.

Religion, Morals, Anec dote. The man who never praises his wifc sometimes talks very nice in church. There are people who want to d( good? but they are alow to commence A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run, The easiest way to get rid of one'f doubts about the Bible is to try to live up to it. Most men wonder why all excepl themselves get angry about trifles. The prophet is a man who tries tc tell the world what God has told him. VVe obtain favor with God only wher we are willing to give up favor of men Such as is thy behavior before thy children's faces, such is theirs behini thy back. It will, be found that some of th< best known people in heaven tillec very obscure places while on earth. We would not get tired of the Bibh so soou but for the fact that we seldoii pick it except when we are tired. No man performs his vows unto th? Lord who is careless about filling hii promises to men. Sunday is the core of out civilization dedicated to thought and reverence It invites to the noblest solicitude anc to the noblest society. If you are holy, your holiness wil find you out. If you are not holy, al that you can say will not make youi next-door neighbor believe that you are If the higher criticism has done no thing else, it has, at auy rale, settled the fact that Jesus never said, "Jilessec are the great in intellect, for they shall see (Jod." The test of a refined sense of smell is not the ability to detect bad odor? a crow can do that?but the ability t< enjoy fragrant odors. The test of pie i ty is not like unto it. A vast amouut of labor is lost in this world by people being in haste. Thej go at au undertaking without auy pre vious rellection how best to accomplish the purpose in hand. Our safety is in having lofty ideals and constant labor to secure their real ization. Let the getting of money be a man's ideal, and he will of necessity grow toward the dust. The true Christian does not seek t< hide himself in a corner; he lets hit light shine before men, whether thej will receive it or not; and thereby is his Father glorified. If there is one virtue that should Ik ! cultivated more than another by hhr I who would succeed in life, it is punc ! tuality! if there is one error thatshoiilil ,be avoided, it is being behind time. i li FALL ?.AIM = WII OPEN Begins Tom ? s 1 HE Ladies are cordiallay invited to " tern HATS, showing the latest combinat ' shapes, trimed and untrimed, on exbi displayed Ribbons, Velvets, Chiffon, V Sacks and Hoods, FEATHER BOAS, I &c.
