Before another issue of the Press and Banner reaches our readers the most important event in oor religion will be celebrated. Love and good will should govern every heart. Let those who owe small debts, to people who need their money, pay all that they owe to them. If you have to borrow the money, pay your hired people. As a rule, they receive small wages. This fact furnishes two good reasons why they should be paid: First?Because of the smallness of their wages, the greater is their need. Second?Because the amount is small furnishes a good reason for straining a point to pay them. "Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy." "For he Is poor and setteth his heart upon It: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and It be sin unto thee." "The hire of the laborer, . . . which is if ' you keep back by fraud, crieth : and tbe cries of them which have reaped are entered into tbe ears of the Lord of Sabaotb. Pay you hireling to tbe utter most farthing. Do this before you are generous, and before you lay offerings on the table of the Lord. The Lord doesn't want stolen money, neither does he want money from hvnocrites that just ly belongs to the poor. No man has a right to seek to propitiate the Lord by tendering him stolen money, or money that Justly belongs to his brother. Reduced to the last analysis, the woi Id and the Lord God Almighty Judges men by the money side ol their character. And the professing Christian who withholds the money that belongs to another, deceives nobody by taking it to the sanctuary, and laying it on the Lord's table. The world knowBagood man by his acts ? not by his sanctimonious X professions. Let every man pay his debts, and let no man set himself up as a Christian exemplar as long as be practices sharp tricks and takes near outs to get an unfair dollar or to bold an honest dollar that belongs to another. jfV - If non-professing men should Jealously guard their character and reputation for honesty, then how mnch more Jealous should professing Christians be ? The man who falls on the money side of bis charaoler cannot . hope to stand before men as real and upright Christians. No matter bow willing a man may be to pray loud in church, or elsewhere, if he doean't pay bis ourrent expenses, and If be lives beyond bit means, the world will take a proper estimate or bis character. Patting " money on tbe table of the Lord, may proprietlate earthly beneficiaries or recipients, bat it hardly satisfies tbe creditor class to see a man trying to bay bis way to heaven with tbfeir money. Practice self-denial, if need be. Use more effort to earn money. Spend less money. Pay your debts. The civilization, the gentitlty, the morallty, 'the Christianity?that is not based on bonesty, would not secure a man a decent place in fiddler's green. Sif gf-U Still Bel tig Whipped. , Nearly every day tbe newspapers report that tbe Insurgents of Cuba have been whipped. It doesn't seem to hart them much. Tbe insurgents have got to burning property. ^ ' ~ If that doesn't make them victors the rule tbat whipped us in the sixties wont work In Cuba. When old Sherman set In to burning our property, be soon whipped us. Gomez ought to win in Cuba, If be makes good use of me lorcn. mere s noioing use 11. State Bank* of iMoe. We see tbat It is proposed to organize a Stale bank in Georgia for the express purpose of Issuing bills ! order tbat tbe constitutionality of tbe ten per cent, tax on bills issued bya8tate bank may be teBted. Unless tbe State banks can issue better money tban tbey Issued before tbe war, we bope never to see money issned by Btate banks. Tbe National banking system Is one of tbe best results of the war. Fair Notice. On and after January 1st, 1896, all notices of bot suppers, obarades, operas, and theatrical entertainments, whlcb baye for their purpose the raising of money will be charged for at * reasonable rates. It seems that tbe whole country has gone into the hot supper busl% ness, and this newspaper will enter the buslness with tbe same spirit that actuates others ?the making of money. tf. Tbe Carolina Spartan is right in saying that objection would be made to putting Judge Hudson on tbe Supreme Bench. His views on tbe dispensary law would preclude tbe possibility of his election. The sentiment of this State favora the dlsDensarv law. and no anti-dispensary Judge will likely be elected to tbe Supreme Bench at this time. Tbe people will stand to tbe dispensary law. There are x plenty of good men to All tbe vacant place on tbe Supreme Bench, who have no conscientious scruples about shutting up tbe bars. No Stop for Christmas. We print our paper every week in the year. - It will come out next week, as usual. We never stop for Christmas. ^ DULY REGISTERED.

Good Trade at Abbeville In Clirixt* * V i mas OoodN. -j. One of the signs of good times is the liberal \ purchases that are being made at our stores. Thousands of presents for loved ones bave been bought, and many people nave bought good things lor themselves. Nobody seems to have a cart loadol money, but hundreds of them have spare money with which to buy the desired goods. Colonel Bullock, clerk of the Court, informs uh ibat more mortgages have been paid during this year, than during any year of his acquaintance wltb tbe office. PREACHERS AND PEOPLE. C'hnrclieN of Abbeville Rid Allien t< Kcv. H. W. Rnyw, D. 1>. The monthly union service Tor the churchei of Abbeville was held last Sunday night it the MethodlBt church. A fter the sermon preached by Rev. S. L. Wilson, the Rev. J. L Wilson, D. D., 9tated that alter eoDsultatior and agreement among the ministers and i number of laymen of the several churches il was desirable that the union give expresMor to their feeling of regret, because of the trans fer of Dr. Bays to another field of labor. Judge Lyon was called to preside over tin meeting and Mr. F. L. Morrow to act as secre tary. The meeting being organized Mr. \Y\ A Templeton reed the following preamble ant resolutions: God's providence for his people brought t< onr city three year's ago a son of Vlrglnlt who is worthy to stand in the foremost rant of tbe sods of that grand State, and th< churches of Abbeville are proud of the prlvl lege of having been the first to welcome hirr and bis to tbe hearts and firesides of Soutt Carolina and of making him in name as hi was before iu nature and worth, a trueCaro lluian. Aud now under the workings of tin same all-loving firovidence, we are called up on to send bim forth to bless other churchei and other communities with bl?services and the example of bis life and character. Be it resolved by the Protestant Cbristlar churches of the city of Abbeville, S. C., in reg ular monthly union meeting : 1st. That the ministry of Rev. H. W. Bays D. D., has been acceptable and signally bless ed In tbe edification of our people In tbe faltt and love of tbe Master and in the bond o Christian union and fellowship. 2d. Tbat in blm and bis family we hav( lound faithful and devoted friends, in theii companionship a delightful addition to thf society of our city, and in their work for thf church zealous service for the advancement or Christ's kingdom. 'id. Tbat we commend him and tbe mem bersof bis family each to tbeattectlonatecon sideratlon of the Christian people amons whom be goes to labor and bespeak for them a cordial welcome to their homes. And in this sorrowful hour of parting we invok( upon this devoted minister and his loved ones the richest blessings of the Triune God whom be bas so faithfully led us to serve and adore. 4th. That copies of these resolutions be fur nisbed for publication to the Christian and secular press. The Rev. S. L. Wilson moved the adoption of tbe resolution by a rising vote, making a oeat and appropriate speech. Revs. J. Li. Wilson. D. D., W. H. Arlail and W. E. Johnson made speeches in tbe order named, in support of tbe resolutions. Alio! the speakers spoke in the highest terms ol tbe ability, christian spirit and deportment ol Dr. Bays during bis three years as a pastor In Abbeville. He is beloved by all and bis going away is universally regretted. Tbe resolutions were adopted by a rising vote. Dr. Bays responded in a speech of great tenderness, declaring his love and aflection for all tbe people In Abbeville of every denomination. Hymn No. 751 was sung: "Blest be the tie tbat binds, Our hearts in Christian love." Dr. J. Li. Wilson led in orayer, and for 8 doxology a stanza of "God be with you till we meet again" was sung. Benediction bj Rev. S. L. Wilson. This is perhaps the first meeting ol tbe kind ever held in Aboeviile, and is the evidence o a new era. How these Christians love on< another.

' T ' Abbeville's Oldest and Best Beloved 1 Citizen Goes on n Journey. f Judge McGowan has last returned from a i visit to friends In Charleston. For more than balf a century be has been a conspicuous flg ure In Abbeville. The Judge came to Abbe- T . vlllewltb nothing but ability, high Integrity I and the determination to do bis cart In what ' ever pertalDed to the welfare of this people, q His nferit as a lawyer was early recognized |J nod be was awarded a liberal share of business among tbe ablest Bar of the State. He mi possessed the respect and confidence of the sal people, and recognizing his ability they often on called upon hlro to serve them In Important .. places. lh? When quite young he entered the Mexican pn . army, and did bis whole duty there. On bis wj return he was elected to the General ABsembly, and was successively elected as a mem- 141 , berof that body until tbe breaking out of tbe I War. Wise and sagacious he advised his peol pie against tbe movement, which was too . strong for all men ol his way of thinking. * He entered the army as Colonel of one of m< , the South Carolina Regiments, and for gal- Fr lantry on the field of danger was promoted to jj-fc the command of a.Brigade. No man ever fought more bravely, and no man more often v" received wounds from tbe shot of the enemy; on Irom some of which wounds he still suffers. iDI In the loss of bis estate by the fortunes of 1 i war, he was by actual experience brought << into a knowledge of real condition that confronted this people. He applied bis energies ' to tbe law, and soon regained a competency, vll Nearly ever since the war Judge McQowan . has held public office of honor. He was elected to Congress, but because of his excel lent war record, bis former foes refused to al? low him to take bis seat. m( : He was afterward for many years a member "" I of the General Assembly, and while serving ke ' his country on that capacity some sixteen So , years ago he fras eleoted Associate Justice of > the Supreme court, which place he filled un- " } til August, 1894, when, full of honors, he latd on ' down the trust which bad been Imposed upon lro ? him. Since then be has relived from public life, and baB been at his home enjoying tbe er privacy of home llle. pa In whatever position Judge McGowan has assumed be has come up to the requirements * of tbe highest excellence. I I As a man and as a cltlzen.be Is patriotic s and public spirited. Like all men who are ? * careful in their business transactions, be is strictly honest. 3 Like all men of kindly heart, he has done many deeds of kindness to bis fellow-man, and many men in Abbeville oounty will testify to tbe fact of favors received at bis bands, m as an independent,or as an original propo- * sltlon, be had an unerring judgment of credit, and as such would never have made a mistake in extending credit, but because of bis kindnesB of heart, his better nature has often prevailed over bis better Judgment. Because of this fact, be has often lost money wbicb was lent on tbe prompting of his heart, and He against tbe clearer and better judgment of bis bead. In scores of Instances he has lost money rather than oppress a poor debtor. T? As a counsellor he is conservative, wise and safe. In political, executive or business mat- ms ters his Judgment can always be relied upon, As a friend, he has been true to all who have sought hlB sympathy, advice or helot 0Q U nder this division of our remarks he would the come in as tbe best and most useful citizen Drf that we have had In our town for fifty years. , His high Integrity, his kindly heart and bis wil umnlc fnrtnnn mnkn him thn heat, nltlvmi trai ) that we bave. > As a lawyer be was always fair and honorable. Ever true to the best Interests of bis p clients, he sought no unfair advantage of his adversary. He Baught to maintain the dignl- mc \ ty of the law, and depended upon the Justice T of his cause for victory. He never descended J01 to a trick cor took a mean advantage. ott ! With a high conception of the honorable m6 , calling or tbe law, and proud to be a membnr . of the highest of all tbe professions, he was a ine suitable person to promote to tbe exalted po- t 8itlon of a seat on tbe Supreme Benob of the ' Stale of South Carolina. On that Bench he OQ maintained the highest standards. His Judg- fro ' ments as to property, its right and equities, er were exceptionally tine, ana his decrees were ' rendered In simple, plain and foroeful En- Pft3 : gllsb, without any attempt at flourish or use 1 of flowers In rhetorical sound. The only criticism that we have ever made of bim Is, tbat E be carried tbe same kind beart on tbe Bench, that had characterized his conduct In the pri- ? vate walks of life. In State caset, where the criminal appealed to bis heart for mercy he m sometimes was merciful when tbe faots wou'd PI I have justified severely. Mercy and kindness Vl are Important factors In bis composition, and III: always rales hiB notions. ! If V As a public spirited oltizen, be has been ; ' Identified with everything tbat loofted to the I welfare of the town. In the lortles he gave a 1 large per ceut. of bis email estate to build tbe Abbeville Branch railroad. In the building I of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway be was a lending spirit, and the most gen erous contributor. co To the Cumberland Gap road he gave freely w Af htu rnu/lu nooh f\n nnnQolnno hti hoo hnnH VY ed subsorlption lists to build a factory at Abbeville. when the oil mill was to ba built be was again at the bead of tbe list. T Id works of benevolence and charity be I has been clearly ahead of anybody. Ill the erection of churches be has always Abl opened his purse, and gave freely. UA Taking all these things into consideration th Abbeville may not expect to have another ine citizen as useful as he has been to his day and to to bis geneneratlon. In his old age, he Is spending the remainder lh of his years in retirement at his splendid lDa , home In Abbeville. Possessing large fortune 82 < . and surrounded by devoted children, he has ta^ reason to look back with pride on a well spent life. He has had all the honors which his countrymen could confer. He has all tbe ! devotion that hearl or soul wish, and he | should enjoy his remaining years, with tbe mo consclouKness of having done his wbole duty an(; ?as having performed every duly of life with- m | out censure or blame. Unlike a majority of om the jjreat men of tbe past, and present, lie has j perservedhis moral lutegrlly. ' i tlia A FAITHFUL OFFICER. u?. ;| "" Slirrifl' F. W. K.
