V C: The Press and Banner * ABBEVILLE, B.C. HfPubllsbed every Wednesday at 82 a year In advance. r= ? Wednesday, May 10,1899. The Black Diamond. The Anderson People's Advocate Informs ns that Abbeville "has got the Black Diamond." Neither of the Abbeville papers have mentioned this yet. and we know that the editors of the Abbeville papers are pretty good news gatherers. We shall wait and see what these brethren have to say about It before accepting the Advocate's statement.? ? Greenwood Index. The Press and Banner bad notice Bome two or three weeks ago that It had been determined to locate the survey through the town of Abbeville. Tbe letter notifying our people or toe iaci was banded to tbe Press and Banner, wbicb was Bet ap In type, to wblob was added such comments as we tbougbt appropriate, and we would bave published It next day, Dot some of tbe gentlemen wbo are taking a prominent part In tbe movement asked as not to print It, and so tbe announcement was \ not made, and tbe type was distributed. We admit, ol course, tbat It Is more or less a reflection on tbe enterprise of a newspaper to wltbold information of a general Interest, and we plead guilty In tbls Instance, but tbe jr editor of tbe Press and Banner bad contributed so largely of hlF limited means to tbe building of tbe cotton mill that be felt unable to contribute to the ranroaa as noeraiiy n? others of equal means were doing, and ?o, like others who contributed little, or nothing but goodwill to the cotton mill, we gave only hearty goodwill to the Black Diamond. We recognize the prospective value of the road, and we elnoerely trust that it may be built. We appreciate the public spirit and personal patriotism of the gentlemen who have subscribed to the survey. Our best wishes are with them. The money which we have contributed to . the building of the cotton mill will testify to this editor's love of the town. He risked his money, when others refused to do so. The mill now seems to be on as solid a basis as the rocks of Gibraltar, and we hope that the , Black Diamond may land as safely as did tbe cotton mill, and, like the cotton mill, be a ?\ blessing to the town. So much In Justification of ourselves, and as Information for oar contemporary. We would state that Abbevilfe has tbe location of tbe Black Dlamoud and will spare no efforts to secure its construction on tbls line. v\- A oorpB of engineers are now surveying from Port Royal via Abbeville, and a letter from a prominent official of tbe road stateB that "Everything Is In good shape, and we will have another corps from Anderson to Abbeville In a few days, In charge of MaJ. Whitlng who was Major Engineer on Stonewall Jackson staff. Our people fully appreciate the Importance of securing tbls great line, and tbe railroad officials may count upon their hearty cooperation. fev V<,r' ?J At His Old Home. Judge Benet was on a visit to Abbeville .<? ' last week. He came for the purpose of marklog the grave of bis beloved wife, who now lies In Upper Long Cane Cemetery. Everybody loved Mrs. Benet, and all will ualteio testifying to the appropriateness of the inscription on the monument which marks her Jr/f : last resting place. No woman was ever more j universally beloved, and when she died each felt something of a personal bereavement. The monument Is a combination of the sarcophagu%ana the cross. A slab of granite Beven feet by three and a half, and one foot thick, covers tbe grave. On this is placed another slab, six and a half by three, or similar thickness. This presents a polished conc; vex surfkoe, upon which tbe main inscription is given. At the npper end of this slab 1b a pyramidal cjie, measuring two and a half feet at tbe base, and two feet at tbe top. Tbe front surface of this Is polished and on It is engraved tbe name or tbe deceased. From* tbe top of tbe pyramidal die rises a celilc cross ten feet in height. Tbe shaft of tbe cross tapers from eighteen inches at tbe base to twelve inches at the top. A circle, tbe emblem of eternity, connects the arms and shaft of tbe cross. Ori thBiiDimr half of the cross Is sonlntured in large raised letters the verse, "I am the resurrection and the Life." And on the lower half the verse, "I Know that my Redeemer Llvetb." At the Intersection of the arms with the body of the cross Is a beautifully chiselled X P, the Greek symbol for Christ, and the two scriptural verses are divided by the monogram Alpha and Omega. Both monograms are in alto relievo. The lettering and the monograms are of peculiar beauty, and add an artistic richness to the surface of the cross. Immediately below is the following Inscription: In Memorlam * JtA Susan Wife of ' William Christie Benet, ; ? Daughter of Samuel and Susan McGowas. Born 6 July, 1856; Married 3 May, 1877: Died 2t July, 1888. P.- , s, . She was taken from oe too soon, ' Cat off at unawares, i In the midst of ber daya; But sudden death found her ready, Trusting In God. ? A Noble Woman, Perfect Wife and Mother, She lived a life of true self-sacrifice And made our home a happy one. Her Husband and Fonr Sons Raise this Cross over her grave To her dear memory. And I'll welcome yon To the Land o' the Leal. The monument Is one of unique design and of cncommon beauty. Stately and tall, massive and imposing, it is perfect In contour and proporilons. It was sculptured by E. T. Vlett of Charleston, who has pronunced it equal to the finest monument that has ever been made In his marble works. The ground slab and the cross are of Winns horo granite; the die and the upper slab of Vermont granite, itf". _ [U The Pblllpplues. Last week, under a Hag of truce, com mis . sioners from tbe rebel leaders come to see tbe American commander of the army, and proposed a cessation of hostilities until their Congress could beoonvened. toconsider terms of peace. Tbe American General refused to recognize the Filipino Government in any way, and suggested that if Aguinaldo could go to war without authority of congress be could lay * ' '? down hiB arms. Notwithstanding the talk of peace, the American commander is prosecuting the war, and marching agalust the fleeing rebels. The Government at Washington is confidently expecting the surrender of tbe rebels, who will be treated with tbe utmost fespect, and as peaceable citizens will be given tbe fullest protection and freedom. The Filipinos are a much more civilized people than the.country has been led to believe. They are said to treating their prisoners with consideration. At one time It was feared that they had massacred the prisoners who bad fallen Into their hands. And so we have proof that they are not the barbarians that some of our newspapers wonld have the world believe. Another tblng of which the prophets of evil have been disappointed is the vital statistics. which show that Bome ol the islands are remarkably healthy?the death rate per thousand being lower than in some of the most favored places in the world. There has never been any question as to the fertility of the soil. s When in need of medicines at ulgbt our pharmacist will be found next door to tbe Western Union Telegraph office, over tbe Abbeville Supply Co.'a store.

Oenernl Hnm(Vton'M MiHforliine. The home of General Hampton, near Columbia, was burned last week. The loss of his home and bis library Is h severe one. He Is now eighty years old, and his means are said to be limited. Our near-sightedness make us feel that it is a pity the old hero in war and the beloved leader in peace could not ha"e been saved tnis misiortune. in war ine Boldiera loved btm, and In peace the people honor blm. In war be wan a knlgbt without a peer. In the days of seventy-six 60 completely did the people yield to blm that bis word was law In South Carolina. The people, as one man, followed him. But he is old and broken now. Feeble In body, without a home, his days are numbered, but glory and honor are his. In the hearts of his countrymen the fragrance of a good name lingers, and the love of a grateful people Is his richest estate. We see It stated that there Is a proposition to raise money for him from old soldiers. While freewill offerings may be acceptable and appreciated, yet no committees,or self-appointed agents, should appeal to the people. The idea of General Hampton accepting nlckles or dimes from the people should not be entertained. The proposition is notoniy a reflection upon him, but It Is a humiliation to bis proud kindred, who would see that want comes not to him. The Reunlou. The reunion of the soldiers of the Southern Confederacy is now taking place in the city of Charleston. That city has made great preparations for the entertainment of her guests, and we trust that nothing may occur to mar the pleasure of anybody. Our own fellow-citizen, Hon. F. B. Gary, speaker of the House of Representatives, will make the address of welcome from the House of Representatives, and we have no doubt that he, like the other orators, will do the handsome thing in a handsome way. General Hampton will be, on that occasion, a conspicuous figure. He will be conspicuous, not by his intrusion, but by the love of bis old comrades, and by the revival of the memories of the stirring scenes In which he participated, and was a prominent actor. Rural Mall Delivery. The rural mall delivery by earner is being put into effect since tbe first of May, and the Indications are that tbe people will be greatly pleased with It. From expiessions of our own people, and from notices of tbe same in some of our exchanges, we are led to believe tbat the system will be bo popular that tbe people would not willingly surrender tbe advantage wblcb has been secured to tbem by tbelr Congressman. In this Congressional District Hon. A. C. Latimer baa secured a larger share or the appointments for bis constituents than has been awarded to many other Congressmen. This result, we presume, was In recognition of Mr. Latimer's activity in tbe matter. However this may be, tbe people will be greatly pleased with the new arrangement. No Vie Kicking. Mr. Bryan may be the Democratic nominee for President, but we do not believe tbat the party will make the mistake. Tbe Democratic party, by Its history in tbe past, is committed to tbe policy of expansion. We have seen it stated that the Democratic party had annexed a large part of the ac quired territory which this country had secured. Another thing. Tbe acquisition of tbe Philippine islands is an accomplished fact. Tbe policy of expansion as to them is a dead Issue. Tbe islands have been ceded. Tbe monev has been Dald. The army is In posses slon ol at least a part of the territory. The only question that could arise would be the proper course to pursue with them.

Tbe action of Bryan and some newspapers in attacking the Government has been compared to tbe act of tbe flse dog In barking at a train of cars.

It is.of itself food of the very 1 best sort to make eggs, furnishing the gelatine for the egg and lime for the shell. Dried, cooked, or burned bones are not nearlv so srood. as the eelatine has been expelletf from the bone, and its lime is also in less soluble condition than while it is in the green state. But a hen's gizzard is equal to the task of grinding up almost anything. A diet of green bone and whole wheat is probably the best of all for egg production. ?? ^ "Did you ever know a disagreeable day to be changed into a sunshiny one by complaining? But if fretfulnes* cannot manufacture out-door sunshine, cheerfulness can fill the home with light. Clouds in the sky are necessary sometimes, but they should never cast shadows on the hearts of our gins ana ooys." It takes but constant prayer and watchiug to enable us to1 avoid the errors and faults we are ever ready to condemn in other people. The nearer we come up to the high ideal in our lives, the more charity we have for other people. A censorious spirit is very far from the spirit of Christ. When you have done a kindness, and your neighbor is the better for it, why need you be so foolish as to look any farther and gape for reputation and requital ? They lhat deny themselves for Christ shall enjoy themselves in Christ. i rove Me Now. Tf you are ever going to love me.

If you knew some one was thirsting For a drop of water sweet. Would you be so slow to bring It? Would you step with laggard feet?

I a raioer Know h now wuue I can live, own, and treasure it. CONFEDERATE MEMORIES. Veterans Souvenir, M?y, 1899. The above is tbe title of a beautiful little book, tbe contribution of tbe Southern Railway. In it are to be found supurb pictures of prominent actors in tbe Confederate war. Tbe ability and tbe artistic skill in compiling and printing tbe book, would require a column for anything like a faithful portraiture of tbe work. It is really a valuable book, and an appropriate souvenir of tbe Charleston Reunion, which Is presented to tbe public by the Southern Railway. +? Rales for Washing Dairy Utensils. Prof. A. M. Soule of tbe Texas Agricultural College writes to tbe Texas Stock and Farm Journal that be bas formulated tbe following rules for the proper care of dairy utensils; 1. Rinse out all ves?els that bave contained milk witb lukewarm water (70 to 80 deg. F.). 2. If boiling water is first used it cooks or sets tbe milk on tbe surface of tbe tin, making it greasy in appearance and to tbe toucb. A coating thus formed increases from time, to time, and this may be the first cause of abnormal fermentations that occur later. 3. A little sal soda added to the wash water has a beneficial effect. It is an alkali and is useful in "cut uug" me greasy Buusutuut; ?u uneu seen on improperly washed vespels. 4. A vessel is clean when no greasy appearance is apparent to the eye nor to the touch when the hand is passed over the surface. 5. After the condition noted in four is secured by "thorough scrubbing," invert the cans over steam jet and sterilize them with hot steam for five minutes. Nearly all fermentations in milk are due to the action of bacteria. These can be best destroyed by the use of steam, fresh air and sunshine. As many of thjem can successfully resist the action of steam for several minute9, it ts necessary to expose milk utensils to its action for sometime. 6. Ntfver use rags to cleanse vessels used in th6 dairy. They are simply hotbeds for the breeding of undesirable germ life. 7. Steam, in addition to destroying germ and fungus growth, aids in drying the cans, thus preventing the formation of rust and obviating the use of cloths to dry the several vessels. 8. If rust or accretions have formed on tins they should be removed at once by using sand soap, sapolio, gold dust, etc. 9. "Soured" cans may be sweetened by boiling thoroughly with sal soda and sterilizing. If a can has open seams and has become badly tainted it will be difficult to make it sweet again. In such a case it is better to abandon it altogether and scure properly constructed new utensils. 10. To clease hands-towels that may be used by operators in the dairy, boil in sal soda water. 11. Where wood floors are used any grease may be removed by the use of a little concentrated lye. Never use lye abouts tins. 12. Dairy utensils should have the fewest number of seam-* possible, and those present should be "smooth aoldered." 13. Wooden pails should not be used to hold milk for reasons that are apparent. 1 ^ A 11 In nVtsvails) Ka a v it, All ULCuaua nuwum uc to tbe free actioD of air and sunshine. For this purpose a shelf may be constructed In front of the milk-house on which the vessels may be placed to drain and dry. 15. In our opinion the trouble with rust on cans, etc., experienced by many dairymen in this State, is largely due to the presence of salt in the air, and especially is this true in the vicinity of the gulf breezes. What n Mother Nhould Not Do. She should not forget that if she treats her boy as a gentleman, she will do much towards making him a gentleman. ttne snouiu not treat ner ooy to perpetual frowus, scolding aud faultfinding. "Sugar attracts more flies than vinegar/' Love wins her boy to a noble manhood. She should never be so busy or hardpressed for time that she cannot listen to him. If he lives to be a man he will all too soon leave her. She should make the most of him while she has him. Sbe should encourage outdoor exercise or sports, and should not forget to train him with proper regard for his personal appearance. She should never allow him to form such habits as coming to the table in his shirt sleeves, neglecting his nails or teeth, or carrying soiled handkerchiefs about with him. She should never nag him, or forget that be is a creature or reason, not an animal that requires to be driven. She should not try to break her boy's will, but be thankful that he Is manly enough to have a mind of his own and devote herself to training it to the noblest uses. She should not fail to instil in him a distaste for all that is vulgar. Wedded to the Trntli. Trying to make others believe as we do is"a poor business. Itisa very different business from trying to win others to the truth. The man who points another to a star may help him toward the light, aud, in helping; may get nearer the light himself; but the man who points other* merely to his own opinion is without a star for himself, aud does not know but that the star he points out to others is a fire-fly's lamp. A lover of truth is not wedded to his opinions ; he is wedded to the truth. How foolish for a mother to talk to her children about religion, unless she can show them what it is.
