(V It. The Press and Banner. Twelve Pages. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. JgyPublished every Wednesday al $2 a year in advance. Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1895. The RegiMter. The dally Register has been enlarged Irom four to eight pages. It is printed on new type and the print is like all the work that comet from cnarieB A. uaivo?nrsi ciass. ia? cui torial management is most excellent and we are glad to believe tliat the subscription list at Abbeville lias been trebbled within the last year or so. For many reasons, we have been friendly to the Register for a long time, aud we not* wltb pleasure that its indefatigable owner is meeting with reward for his pluckv endeavor Mr. Calvo is perhaps the best printer in the state. We have never seen a poor job 01 printing that came from his office, and hit constant and unceasing labor in making the Register a most readable paper Is gratifying to the public. The Press and P>anner reads the Register every day with pleasure, not only because it is friendly, but because it is a most excellent paper in every way. The edl torials are short, pointed and entirely up tc date, and generally without rancor or bitterness toward anybody. It uses argumentnot invective. Its selections from the local Dross of the state is a most interesting feature ? and Its many live, wide-awake correspondents All a portion of Its space every day. The reports of the Stale Convention now In session would do credit to any paper, and the fairness, fullness and promptness with whlcli they are served to the public make the ltegis tera most desirable paper lor persons whc want an up-to-date paper for a very small price. Write to the Register, Columbia, foi sample copies, which will be sent free, and be assured that the objections which may be urged to it, is only the penalty incurred bscause of Its excellence, and honest straighttoward effort to cain public favor. The CharleNlon .Sun. The Charleston Evening Sun is a fair, able and liberal newspaper which is always one ol the most acceptable guests at the Press and Banner office. That paper is independent In politics and courteous in its treatment of all men. To the brethren of the press it nevei falls to be civil in its Intercourse, and is always parliamentary in its contests. Judging from the amount of advertising to be seen in Its coluins and the excellence of its general make-up, it occurs to us that that papei must have a strong hold on the people o' Charleston. It is dignified and never lelf itself down in pelty spite or shameful abuse of anybody. Good humor, good sense, good principles, honest inpulsee, and good business methods give the Charleston Sun a good send off in the eyes of good people. That papei refuses u> auopi a Bj-mera 01 uiny uiiu luuuc ions journalism, do matter which the provo, cation. Jndge Gary's Speech. We publish the admirable address of Associate Justice E. B. Gary which was delivered June 12,18K5, before the Alumni Association of the South Carolina College. It is asplen' did address, beautifully said, and breathing the highest and best spirit. The address ha* received inoKt pleasant mention by the press and from gentlemen who heard it delivered. It was the effort of the Judge's life, and will well repay the reader. Abbeville is always proud of any success, honors or distinction that may come to any of Abbeville's sons, and we have .reason to recognize his ability and fairness on the Supreme Bench. Hie decisions are well received by the legal fra. ternlty. SUDDEN DEATH, Mr*. Nary V. .Miller Suddenly and Unexpectedly Goes to Her Reward. Mrs. Mary V. Miller died November 1, 1895, at 1:45 o'clock in the morning, In her 59th ye?r. At tbe time or ber death she was on a visit to her son. Mr. L. T. Miller of this city She was subject to spells of indigestion, whioh came on her two or three times a year, and sbe'had premonitions of an attack but thought nothing seriously about It. She was dining with some friends on Wednesday when she became sick and suttered intensely. Her physician was sent for. and he treated her. She appeared better, but was not entirely relelved. Wednesday night she rested a little, and on Thursday her symptoms were not so favorable. At live o'clock her physician shocked the family by informing them that she was in a critical condition, and that unless soon relieved she could not live long. All that skillful physicians and loving bands could do was done, but despite their efforts she died at 1:45 in the morning. During the greater part of her illness she had little to say, and toward the last she seemed unconscious. Mrs. Miller was the daughter of Leroy C. Wilson, and was bom April 1. 1837. She wan married to John T. Miller, February 15, isct;, tbe Rev. D. McNeill Turner, D. D., performing the ceremony. To this union were born four sons, namely: Leroy T. Miller, Thoma* V. Miller, Hugh Mac Miller, Thurston Monford Miller. Hugh Mac died November 12, 1877. Like the Spartan mother she could point to her sons as her jewels, and she loved them with a devotion which was seldom equalled, and her good precepts have borne good fruits. Her sons are most excellent young men and cavu iu uin uwu wt?y io untug a uociui uiavc Id life. She was buried at Upper Long Cane cemetery. Rev. S. B. Wilson conducted the service, and Rev. J. Lowrie Wilson, I). 1)., assisted In the exercises. TO LAY THE DUST, Alter Light Shower* We Have Beautiful Weather. The light showers last week laid the dust. Since then the clouds have gone by, and we have had delightful days and nights with reasonable temperature. The long dry weather prevented our people from having as many flowers as usual, but still there are exceptions, and find some of the gardens blooming. The long dry spell has enabled our (armers to gather their cotton crops without injury or stain to the staple. All the crops have been gathered, with only a few exceptions here and there.

The new county of Saluda, we believe ha no railroad, no town, and no conservatives li It. The people of that section are to be cor doled with, as they will have nobody t abuse, and no corporations to fight. They are now looking for a place to pu their Court House, which must be with! three miles of the centre. There was no towi in which to put it. In making the new coun ly, they left out two townships In Kdgefiel to help form a new county with the C?ur House to be located in some place on laud t be taken from Abbeville county. M/\(mltKalnn>llnr? **11 I (\A ln/ito oo nhnu named connected with Saluda County, wit the additional fact yet to be counted, that th county will not be organized for a year, ye we see It stated that two papers have starte I in that county. They are printed elsewher I but expect to go to the county an soon as th | Court House has been built. The editors c I these newspapers will be In time to occup the field, whenever the necessity for a newt paper arises. We wish the new papers th gre atest measure of success, and hope tha the editors may be able to keep them goln until the county has been organised. In thi case it is the early bird. j We believe Mr. C. H. l'rince started a papc in Florence in anticipation that it would b made a county seat. When the county sea was established, another printer set up an o flee and divided the business, notwltlistaui ing the fact that Mr. Prince had been ther long before and labored hard all the time fo the new couuty. The Press and Manner believes that an ol established paper has a great advantage ove a new paper but where all are now it iw i question of the survival of the fittest.

I THE LITERAEY CLUB. c Handsomely KntertAineri by Mr. A hi;. W. Smith. The Literary Club met last Friday night at j, the home of Mr. Aug. \V. Smith. Mr.C.D. y. Brown, was I'resideut, and Mr. W. A. Tem'{ pleton was requested to act as Secretary in ln place of the regular Secretary, who was abis sent. m of Mr. Wilson read as follows: Woman, undeniably, has many rights in every Christian land. in She certainly has a right to be clothed in a ie manner so as to protect her health and to preserve her Datural beauty, and she lias a right a' to be furnished with all the apparel that may |r- give an additional charm to her presence. I'- It beins her Christian duLy to appear as lovely and as attractive, as possible, she has a ie right to receive a sensible and a rational education. " She has a right to be protected from the blight and waste of the boarding schools where le her health Is neglected, and where her valua& ble time and energy may be frittered away ln trifling studies or in the pursuit ot alleged acl>' complishments. e- She has a right to be protected from contamination by contactor familiarity with the st world. ss She has a right to keep her heart pure and to preserve her mind Innocent. e- she has a right to our sincere love and afto fection. r As to these rights we presume that there will ?t be little diversity of opinion.' :e Hut there are other rights for which she is id reaching out, and as to the propriety of granting which there may be a doubt. r- Under the old civilization woman was a IU Keeper tu uome. nne was man ? uuuuicu to queeu. He loved her for tier modesty anil be adored her for her helplessness. He worshipped her for her fidelity. For her is loyalty to all his best Interests he gave Is bis heart's truest service. He was proud id of her because she was an ornament to his home, and a leader In the works of charity r- and benevolence. Her countenance and her moral support made him courageous and a, steadfast in every good work ; and in whate, ever pursuit he chose to enter she was hiB n guiding star in every struggle; and lor all It who were weary of strife or were borne down by u the weight of cares, her home surrounded by a r>l halo of glory, furnished a haven of rest. If he went forth to earn bread, to win fame, or to gain sr the plaudits of the world, the splendor of her id smile and the sweetness of her nature was the y impelling force and the sufficient reward for the greatest self-sacrlllce as well as an abunP dant recompense for the most sublime effort. >1 Butaneweralsdawnlng. TheNew Woman >y is on our threshold. Instead of devoting her >o time in College to useless and trifling ac0. quirements, as she did In former yearB, >e she is now directing her energies to those in studies and pursuits whereby she may ly be independent and self-sustaining. She id dashes to the ground, and away from her, el as useless, the baubles and trifles that engaged the attention of the Old Woman. Instead of 'd seeking the fanciful non-entities she looks to !d the utility of the purpose and to the value of the art. Turning her attention to the pracrs tlcal duties of life sbe proposes to be a factor es m wiiateverer makes life worth the living. Iu proof of this assertion >r witness the overflow at the Wlnthiop >e Normal and Industrial School, where the II- young women are seeking the mastery of those branches which may be of real or pract tlcal value in solving the problem of life. Bey sides the literary training, they are learning >n something of the industrial arts. Instead of -> lusirumeium music uuu paiuuug mej tiro learning all that a woman should know to h, become the lovely queen of the home and the rs successful manager of the household. Instead m of wasting her time in a score of non-essens, Hal studies, she Is devoting her time to the ie acqnirementof those arts which willmakeher d proficient on the utilitarian side of life, and rs which will enable her to take an active part in 38 the struggle for bread in case the necessity for individual etlort should arise. Physical culture receives due attention while the mental faculties are being trained. The useful and the ornamental go on together, while the body, the hand, and the mind receive symmetrical development. Less than thirty years ago, we had only that kind of female education which looked i. to the acquirement of those unprofitable accomplishments that yielded nothing except to the gratification of an aimless life. Then woman had no property rights. The avenues to the art**, to the professions, and to ts the trades were all closed to her. She had re nothing to do, except to stay within doors and seek to ornament the home, to grace the ol church, and to take part in the works of In benevolence and charity. She had no property rights, and as a consequence her ambl3I tlon to enter the fields of labor or of literae lure had little incentive to action. Even If p she should acquire property, the moment she ,v married she lost even the right to claim it as her own. The married woman had no right o to hold property either by gift, inheritance. .e or as me result 01 ner own lauor. wnatever it she might acquire was liable for the debts of r. Hie husband, and subject to Ills pleasure, f. Hut now the married woman !h protected In her rights to properly. The law specltlcally ,t? shields it from her husband, and the Courts are open to tier for the enforcement of her it rights, as against all others. -fc Woman is now no longer dependent upon others. She directs her energy to law, medln cine, literature, journalism, book-keeping, j% and to hundreds of other professions, as her ability, her inclination or her opportunities K may dictate, and her success 1s oommensu.. rate with her ability and her adaptability to her chosen profession. e She Is now seeking the ballot, thai she may e protect her rights in property, and exercise her proper influence in the Legislation of the r. country. The giving of the right to hold property necessarily involves the right to vote ,r on questions which affect that property. The right to hold property makes woman a p. citizen, and being a citizen It sejms that the j right to vote should be conferred. And If her vote is needed we have a right to expect her e to come to our assistance when we want her It help. t, Property knows no sex, and whoever Inherits or acquires property should have not e only the right to go into Court, but the right e to go further and to vote for or against those e measures which affect property by taxation ). or otherwise. >r The right to own property should include the right to exercise the privilege of voting ). for or against measures aflectlng the moral II welfare of the people. Uelng thoroughly identified with the community socially and e financially, it is possible that her right to the ballot will not be forever withheld, if the town is to incur a public debt for which her property Is to be taxed, oan any man give a reason why she should not have as much to say in it as does the impecunious citizen who pays no tax at all, and could neither be beuelltted nor iDjured by the result of any election. Can any man assign a tenable reasonable for excluding the property-owning woman from the right to vote on the question of building a school house, or of establishing a :r school? She is certainly as much interested J1 In the welfare of the country as the humble " negro, whose rlgnt to vole in not questioned. ? Can any man show wherein we have a mor. al right to tax the property of women by the votes of irresponsible men, while we at the " vi'itnc 11 niH wit hhold from f.hem t hp rii/hf. In " their expression of pleasure or sentiment? . Thai Is taxation without representation. J{ Can any man tell wherein her appearance ^ at the ballot box would be more objectionable than her appearauce at the tax department of the Government,? If it be said that ,, she need not go to the treasury, but can send " her money by anothor, then wliy not allow , her to send her vote and cast her ballot by proxy ? Any woman who Inherits and can r hold property Is vitally interested In the ? welfare of the country. Any woman who , can, with ail the disadvantages that confront J! her. earn and accumulate money, certainly f deserves as much recognition from the gov" ornment as is accorded to those men who , neither work nor fill any useful place in life. l. While it might be well to draw the line, and sillow her to vote only where her properly is immediately affected, the question arisos, will she be satisfied with that? ? Or, does she really wish to vote at all, even , where her property is involved? I have asr sumed that she does, though I am not certain , that there is any general desire on her part to participate in any election. Hut It Is true that e the right to vote in South Carolina might be held as a reserve power, which she would . exercise wheu the impulses of patriotism "f were awakened. Iu the war she did not J" from selfish motives seek to banish her male a friends from the fireside, but when her patriotism was appealed to, amid tears aud lamentation, she sent sons, husbands and brothers to the war. Women who could in times of war, tear out their own heart strings for love of their country would certainly cast their ballot id times 01 peace when caueu upou to preserve their homo-* from dauger. or touhleld their own best interests from dess trnetion. But the fact Ik, Rhe may not be satisfied with a limited suffrage, uttershe lieglnsto take e part in elections. Conscious of Iter numerical e strength, anu possessing strong moral qiialities, she might undertake to give politics a v new complexion and to lead us along untrode den paths. i- She might attack the bars in other States, i- and it is possible that she might wish to strike down the dispensary in our own State. Already the New woman, and tier sister, th? Female Suffragist, are distinguishing themselves by their appeals to the dliferent State ,1 Legislature*, as well as to our own State Con veiuion. The attentiou of Ihe pulpit and the New e Woman lias been more or less In thedlree!? lion of cultivating a sentiment that would ft apply the same .standard of morals to , both sexes, when, as a mutter of fact no such rule could apply. According to the principles and teachings of a civilisation . where Christianity alone flourishes and exercises its benevolent influence, there can be no such thing as equality in the moral law. The Almighty made the female of every kind less aggressive than he made her e male partner. He made woman gentler and more retlned than man. lie made her Ihe twining vine, while he Is the sturdy e oak. He made man to assume the e exposures and to endure the hardships fjviiu \v! it-li ffomiMi hue always baeii ehleldcU in every Christian land. The Almighty In hit wisdom organized the home and established the fireside. He caused her to preside over It while man went out into the highways and dangerous places to earn the living and to d< the hardest and worst of the work. All th< teachings of our religion and our civllizatlor tend to the purification and sweetness of thf home. Woman is the trusted keeper of th< husband's family, and she has no right to beui children for the stranger, and the only waj to establish the same moral standard for the sexes is to degrade woman. And every mar who seeks such establlsnment, however lnno cent or ignorant be may be, in doing so ap peals for the degradation of woman. Sh< must come down from her high estate If suet: equality of morals is to prevail. In saying this I would not disparage the de slrableness of purity in the male sex, noi would I underate the value of virtue in man It has been Bald that ' that adoration whlcl a young man gives to a woman whom be feels to be greater and better than himself, 1b hardly distinguishable from a religious feeling.' But will any man love and adore the womar whom he believes to be no better than him self. We love woman for her purity and w< adore her for her Innocence of a guilty knowl edge of sin. But whether we want her or not, the Nev Woman Is ?urely coming. With her adven our old Ideas of female education will glvi place to ibe more advanced theories. The Old Woman was modest, gentle, pun and helpless. The New Woman is more In dependent and aggressive. She desire a larger field and seeas a more active part ii every line of endeavor. She seeks dress re form, physical culture, and a knowledge o some of the chosen professions whereby shi may earn money and become self-sustaining and be in fact, as well as in namfe, man's help meet. ; I sympathize wTth her efforts at mental cul ture, and I would award her due and prope credit for the desire Jor a knowledge o luOnU puyomm mwn wuiuii win give un iu< womnnly womau and which will perpetu ate the true woman while giving us th< healthy wife and mother. Instead of the poo Invalid who lingers only a little while wltl us and then retires to a premature grave. But whether New or Old, we love womai with all our hearts. In the language of another, I will finish m: remarks: Of the new fashioned woman there's mucl being said, Of her wanting to vote and a' that. And of her desire to wear man'sattire, His coat and his vest and a' that, And a' that and a' that. She may wear trousers and a' that; She may even ride a horse astride, But a woman's a woman for a' that. See yonder damsel passing by ? She's up to date ana a' that. She wears a man's hat, like-wise his cravat, His shirt and collar and a' that, And a' that and a' that. His suspenders and cuffs and a' that, But do what she can to Imitate man A w Oman's a woman for a' that. The modern maid, her form arrayed In sweater and bloomer and a' that, Rides a bike exactly like What brother rides and a' that. She may wear bloomers for skirts and a' thai Wear men's collars and shirts and a' that. May wear vests if she will, but the fact n mains still A woman's a woman for a' that. Aug. W.
