The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. {^"Published every Wednesday at $2 a year in advance. Twelve IPa^es. Wednesday, Oct. 28, 1896. Tbe Eletiou. The election for President of tbe United Ststes, and for ?ther .officers, will take place next Tuesday. The politicians on tbe one band and tbe financiers and monied men on tbe other believe that great Issues are Involved, and that the future welfare of the country depends'upon the result. Reviewing the history of a career, during which time many changes have taken place, we have never known the predictions of alarmists to be verified or realized. VVhll? this nHwsnnnpr hellpvps that BrV an's election would be a calamnity to tbis people, yet in view of tne history of the past, such fears are groundless. Even if be wished to do so, it is not possible for Hryan to ruin this country, and we know that the patriotic citizens who are supporting him, would knowingly do nothing to iDjure the country. Regarding the situation in tbat Jigbt we have nothing to fear. The choice ol a Tresl Uent will naraiy aiieci nuy uuu ui no w iu<j amount of a farthing. \ . m Prosperous Tow ns. Some of tbe newspapers credit Dr. Talm age the great pulpit orator, with the following exl preBBion: r"A newspaper whose columns overflow with advertisements of business men has more influence in attracting attention to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where there is business. Capital and labor will locate where there is an enterprising community. . No power is so strong to build up a town as a newspaper properly patronized." Measured by that standard Abbeville will stand ahead of any town or city In the State of South Carolina. For years tbe nev/spapers of this city have been crowded with advertisements from tbe successful and prosperous Arms that do business here. The result has been that more business comes to our town> more business houses have been opened, and all seem to be doing well. Abbeville is prospering. .Let all give our ncoD o Huintr nhnnpp OivA them VOUF orders for goods. It is a mistake to suppose that goods can be sold cheaper at retail in the larger cities than In the smaller cities. People make the mistake of supposing that they can buy at retail as cheaply as the merchant can. Besides sometimes buying what you do not want you always have expense of transportation. Better deal with your neighborThe Bame is true of printing. If the Press and Banner could get as much for work, which we are prepared to do, as it costs the city printer, we would make abundant profit. WEST END.

Another good man has gone to his reward, and Abbeville has lost one of her best and most upright citizens, a kind, gentle christian?a man of great learning, and rare attainments. Mr. Lee was honored and respected by all who knew him.

The Hec tor's Tribute to The Depart- I -r| e?l Brother. It is doubtless an exaggeration toallirm.as as has been done ho often, that true worth of t|, character Is rarely, if ever, appreciated, until the solemn lesson of the death angel has | ov forced its realization upon us. But there are , instances, where native modesty, shunning , to obtrude Itself, has with a true nobility of: n-fAiiffht flnH ciriilpd and fulfilled li_ flfe'R miRslon all unobserved by a (superficial iu and half-seeing world. True greatnesR can . never?for Its very selflessness?reveal Itself ? unbidden to our gaze?but must ever stand r, aside for others?speaking only when the dl- ?<! vine voice of conscience urges it for dutys h sake to manifest itself. '? It Is because of this that men are forced to realize?alas, too late in many instances? that fame is no criterion of worth. Fame may be had for the self-seeking. Worth Is . only for the few who seek for God alone. We ., can but remember even that m Ocean depths are mute The shallows roar:? 5" Worth is the ocean, lA. Fame the bruit along the shore." W. A. Lee was a man admired and beloved re of all koew him. A godly man. A modest, br upretentious christian?and for these very fo traits we know but half the man. The other hr half?the greater half hath not been told us. We only know that frcrn our midst has pass- jn ed a man of learning and culture?h man of dl Intellect and refinement, a man of truest fo worth and dignity?a man whose kindly in- lg| tluence we have felt, but whose inmost soul in we never knew?nor may we know until the se great hereafter. gl The general facts of his life may be briefly Bi summarized. Born on Johu's Island, March 2nd, 1S2G, be came to Abbeville in early childhood, ent*r- at ing the school at Due west in the fall of 16.37, wi from where he was graduated in 1843.

Was admitted to practice In May, 1847, practiced for fr two years, and went West In the winter ot or 1847, and taught one year In Alabama, and h< oneyear In North Loulslanna. returned lu pt the winter of 1851. Resuming the practice ol at law in 1843, and has since been engaged as lawyer and editor, until recently he gave up bj the latter employment. a "On the secession of Sooth Carolina from the Union, be Joined the State Troops, and of remained until they were disbanded to enter the Confederate Service, when he enlisted in d< the 2nd S. C. Rifles, Moore's Regiment, and passed through the war, returning home on fe the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomattox." at He was elected a member of the Legislature in 1S63, of the State Convention in 1865, and tb afterwards of the succeedlngState legislature, tb In 1870 be married Miss Victoria D. Cade, ot Abbeville, and be remained In this city in throughout the remainder of bis ltfe. m Although for some years past, Mr. Lee has m exhibited the Infirmity of approaching age, it has only been withiu the past three H months that his health has perceptibly and pi rapidly declined, and that he has been tin- re able to carry on his work. During this short period, however, be has seldom gone beyond ec the limits of his borne, and on Friday last, tb weary with the burden of his three score ni years and ten, he passed away without a struggle to his eternal inheritance on His'h. Not dead, but worn and spent with life's long toll?he sleeps the deep sleep of all the blessed ones of Paradise?only to awake the more refreshed and strong for Heaven's unending Joys, K ? ? RELIGION DRAMATIZED, o? di m \V Converts Mny Be Mnde by Ntitffini; Bible Stories. ki From the Illustrated American. fe It may not be long befoie the church adopts re the drama as a means of religious teaching. More decided invasions than that have of occurred iu the history of the church. lu Flowers were once the special symbol of m pagan idolatry ; and young Roman Christians th were excommunicated lor wearing them. But to-day flowers nave a place in every ge church. M A century ago musical instruments were deemed the devil's weapons, and church n< music was entirely vocal. In some churches even singing was regarded as too worldly to be used In worship. Singing "by note" was thought to be a wicked innovation by nearly all the churches. The drama Is not so much condemned any- cc where as were either flowers or music. y< Entering wedges tor the religious use of the drama have long been driven. Iu heavier tone, the oratorio is often the feature of a special Sunday service. In lighter vein, the w impersonations and the scenic "exerelses" of Sunday-school concerts have made thechurch vv familiar with dramatic representations. a A further Rtep will not be hard to take. The spot where it will be first taken is the bi slums. Ingenuity has exhausted itself to get ui the young people ol the streets to go to the st missions. It will soon occur to some bright mlssloncr L0 that the ten-cent theaters have no difficulty j? lu crowding themselves, and by the sameli* token he will see a way to uss the world's I V) r .. ? ? ?-? < 11 not rutn htR tpflfh- 1 ' 1UILU U1 ULUUSCUiCUb IV/ ?? w logs. He will go further than the Sunday school vaudeville concert. He will construct a couiiected religious drama. He will stage It with ot hceneryand costume. He will cast It with real actors. He will make It free and will crowd his church. i.. What a field for drama-making the Bible offers. It is a thoroughly dramatis book, full ot the romantic movements and Intense situa- j m lions which the tiieatre requires. , It has tragedy, history and comedy. It has gc music and epigram and wit. It has pathos,1 eloquence, smiles and laughter. Its lofty , lines lend themselves to declamation far more naturally than Shakespeare's. The dramatic rendering of some of its satirical proverbs would convulse an audience. vv The Passion play naturally suguests itRelf. E But scores of piays might be constructed Irom d< ihe material of the Old and New Testaments. They need not be heavy, Tbey might have 8i all the light and shade which art demands. Seriously, if the Bible is a dramatic book why should it not be Interpreted by the dra- =' malic method which tiie world loves? u _ . ? ft el It. ('. Wilson A Co. Localtf. c] E. C.

At the time of his death he was the oldest ember of the Abbeville Bar. be having comenced the practice of the law at this place Mr. Lee was one of the best known of bbevllle's lawyers, and his friends can look IIh pride and pleasure over an active career half a ecnttiry. Horn on John's Island In 2(i he flnlslied'hls education at Erskine Colge, where he graduated in 1S43. He taught hool for pome tlmeinid meanwhile devoted mslderable time to the study of law, which afterwards pursued In the office of Thos. tiomson, helng admitted to the bar In 1816, Columbia. Hethen commenced the prac;e of his profession In this town. For any years his firm was known as Martin & >e, afterwards as Marshall <fe Lee, then Marall, Lee ?fc DeBruhl, and Btill later as Orr & ?e. He afterwards practiced In partnership Ith Mr. Blake who attendpd to the affairs of eflrin in Greenwood. His speciality was al estate law, but his knowledge in all anches of the profession was admittedly pround. Apart from his law business Mr. Lee id also been engaged In other lines. For renty years he edited the Press and Banner, i politics he also played his part, and iring the war was elected to the Legislature r the unexpired term of Col. Perrin. In K he was a member of the convention and 1865-06 held a seat in the House of Reprentatives. In the late war he served In Virnta as Lieutenant in the Second Rifles, In atton's Brigade. Mr. Lee was a credit alike the community and the profession. rn him to a remarkable degree, gentleness id courage were blended. At all times he ms (Ipfprpntinl tn his fflllowman. and he ever smanded of them proper respect and coursy. In non-essentials he was yielding to his lends,' but in essentials?where principle, honor, or iruth, or justice was Involved? ; was unyielding, and had the courage to exess his convictions, while possessing the illity to assert the right. Kind and gentle, modest and unassuming, ave and true; he was a faithful counsellortrusted friend. He was pure in heart. He thought no evil his fellowman. His hands were clean. He never touched a >ubtful or dishonest dollar. His speech was chaste. He never gavecfnce to the delicacy, modesty, or virtue of ly living creature**, x His life was blameless. He never violated ie morfti laws nor did he disregard any of le proprieties of life. From his youth, up to the time of his death, ms cnaracier ana deportment ne was me an of honor, as well as the exemplar of the ioral law. He was a man of ability and attainments, e had the ambition to be independent, and wsessed the modesty which caused him to tire within a small circle of friends. Mr. Lee was intimate with few?he had no jemles?but the entire community had the le greatest respect for him, and we shall 2yer see his like again. BAR MEETING, eHoliitloiiN lii Memory or tbe I,ate W.
