Wednesday, Aug. 9,1899. . ? Abont Colleges. When our people propose to send their sons and daughters to college we hope that they may oonsult their own Interests by referring to the advertising oolumns of the Press and ^ Banner. In these columns may always be F round uie aaverusemeDis 01 tun ueti ?uins?s K la the country. And we all know the imS portanoe of choosing a good college In which to ednoate our children. For instance: L There la Erskine College, the oldeBt denominatlonal college in the State. For sixty I years its benign Influence has blessed the peo> pie In every walk of lifp, and Its seems now that it? good work willfeo on for ?f hundred years, and that its Influence will live forever and extend to tbe uttermost parts of the earth. Davidson College, which for more than sixty years, has been a powerful factor in edcation, religion and moralB, has done a wonderful work for good men in all sections of our great country. For twenty-flve years our own J. R. Blake, presided over its destinies in a way that brought good to the Church, and good to the public morals. President J. B. Shearer, has for several yeafa worthily filled tbe chair which was graced by President Blake. Tbe University of North Carolina, is one of tbe proudest and greatest or all tbe educational institutions, and its courses of study is as varied as the demands of the students, and as comprehensive as the grasp of the hnmanmind. For better and fuller particulars tbe reader and ought to write to President E. A. Alderman, Chapel Hill, N. C? when he will send a book. I The Presbyterian College at Clinton is a home enterprise, and'a Church lnstitctlon whose earliest and latest efforts are to promote the educational Interests of its students, while strengthening the moral and religious ^ character of those who come under lis lnflu ence. uur peopie snow ttuu iuve mo icntuera, Rev. W. T. Matthews and Rev. A. E* Spencer, who will send an elaborate catalqgue to enquirers. The Greenville Female College Is an old and honored Institution in which some of the best women that Abbeville has ever known, were educated and trained for the higher and better walks ol life. The college Is elevated eleven hundred feet above the sea, and its , standards in education and womanly graces are equally elevated above the standards of the great multitude. The Due West Female College enters upon its fortieth year of usefulness. In education, style, beauty and music this institution has won the richest laurels and its worth and good name is crowned by wreaths woven in the hearts of our noblest and best women. Its first graduates have sent their daughters and their granddaughters to the oollege from whose rostrum they received diplomas. For half a century that grandest of ail the Methodist institutions, Wofford College, has been weildlng a powerful Influence in elevating the tone and sentiment of the people of Soutn Carolina, and today the high standards which have been established by that college, re exercising a power for good that oan be appreciated only by those who know the institutlon and love its ways. We have thus hurriedly glanced at the various institutions which would be pleased to have the patronage of the readers of the Press and Banner. It will be noted that each and all or them ranji high In the counsels of cbnrch and State. They are an honor to tbe civil government as well as a crown of glory for tbe religious and moral body of oar peopie. Tbe fact tbat tbey bave lived for bo many years, and bave been supported by tbe people lor ages Is tbe best testimonial of tbelr worth, and Is the best proof of tbe Blrong bold which tbey have upon tbe hearts of the people. Tbe Press and Banner most earnestly commends these colleges to those who have Bons or daughters to educate. Our friends could make no mistake In Belectlng any one or these oolleges In which to educate their cblldren. if ; ffH ? 1 ???Jl ; Charlotte's Sensitive Doctors. From our exchange* we see tbat tbe Doctors of Charlotte, N. C., are exceedingly sensitive as to the "ethics'' and "politeness" of members of their profession, and on this ac wuumio Luaaiug u|uics ui bUVlUBOlVOB 1U tu? V aewspapers. Knowledge of medicine seems to be a matter not to be thought of by the Charlotte Dootore where "medical ethics" are concernad, and we thing tbe Charlotte Doctors have acted very foollBhly In tbe matter. As far as we are Informed, we do not see wherein they are essentlatly different from other gentlemen In the community, and If a brother Doctor has made notable success In medicine or surgery, we see no reason for Jealousy. Instead of Jealousy at a brother's superior skill, they should seek to emulate him by better equipping themselves for the practice of their profession. It they will aspire to rise to the top. instead of trvlne to Dull down another. tbe result will be more satisfactory. Where medicine, and not "ethics" Is tbe study, tbe gentlemen of tbe medical profession will deserve better consideration from tbe public. But we presume men in all tbe professions are more or less sensitive. Editors may some times be sensitive, and In that, tbey may not be after all, so very different from the Doctors. For lnstanoe: Not so long ago, tbls editor received a communication wblcb contained matter tbattbe senders Intimated that tbey desired published in tbe PresB and Banner free ot expense to tbem. Although we haoo U.. Ul-U ? ? uvbuiDW?Diuua ^iUU UJ WU1VU WO UttU get typeset, and get a paper priDted without coat, yet this requeEt was made without the usual politeness of a personal address. It was Blmply type written, addressed to "Dear Sir"?a sort of olroular letter. Like tbe Doctors, this editor was sensitive because of the lack of tbe customary olvlllty, and we of course did not take tbe money out of our pocket to set up tbe circular for tbe senders who were deficient in "politeness." ?dltors, like Doctors, are often too sensitive as to "ethics." If more attention was given * to the editing of our newspapers and to the acquiring of skill in the practloe ol medicine, it is possible tbat neither editors nor doctors would be so sensitive in matters wbere neither offenoe nor disrespect was Intended. The Charlotte Doctors seem to us to be simply irymg iu uavtjrtibe luemseives Dy OBiensiDiy fighting advertising. Question. "Is It right for an editor to recommend patent medicines?" Tbat Is a question which is published in many of our exchanges, at the suggestion of some of the patent medicine advertisers. The Press and Banner will answer for Itself, by saying "no." We do not believe tbat any editor, preacher, or college professor of our acquaintance knows anything about any l?atent medlolne. In such cases we think re epectaole gentlemen have allowed the use or their name In a manner which is unbecoming in men of their station. It may be perfectly right for unscrupulous people to certify to the efficacy of nostrums about which they are bgnorant, but we believe It Is wrong lor sincere men, who wish to be believed to make such certificates. m* ^ M ost deliclous and refreshlngcold drinks at Speed's soda fountain. 1 1 ^EHjKL Depurtlne tho Xoitrocn. ! We often see propositions In the newsp tho n?7rnp? nWftV to Other COT1 pci D w ovuu WWW ? v tries or other Islands. Of all the foolish pro osltlons that we have ever seen, this shou take the cake. How any man with a thimb full of brains conld entertain so absurd e Idea Is more than wo can understand. In tt first place: In some localities the negro outnumber the whites. Suppose the negro In those localities should conolude to depo their white neighbors. They have Just i much authority to send away a white man i the white men have to send away the negr If the money and the ships were read bow could we get the negros to go. Ho could they induce the whites to leave tt land of their nativity ? At Home Again. Mr. G. B. Lythgoe, of Atlanta, is at hon for a week, visiting bis mother and sister, at meeting a host of old friends in a ton where, years ago, everybody knew and lov< Berk In Lythgoe. He Is "a chip ofi the o block," and reminds the soldiers of the 19i S. C. V. of bis gallant father, who was i brave a man as ever went to battle, and wl feel at Murfreesboro, mortally wounded. J honor of the courage of his regiment and ! recognition of his personal valor bis nam and that of his regiment were engraved c brass cannon which they captured that dt in one of the fiercest battles of the war. M Lythgoe Is welcomed back to the scenes his childhood, and all are pleased at any go( fortune that may come to him. The Clinton Nenm. For several weeks the Clinton News h; been coming to ibis office. The paper is new one, the type and presses, we presum are new. At least the print 16 bo nice that v are sorry to see such nice type used in pric lng a newspaper. And there is more editorl work, more news gathering, and more woi on it generally than is bestowed on a majc ity of the newspapers. The man who is prir ing as nice a paper as the Clinton NewB cou make more money at the Job printing hue ness. The editor is S. Frank Parrott, and tl subscription price is 91, or about fifty per cen lees than cost. Tbe Daily Times. The Press and Banner Is glad to weicon fche Evening Times to Its exchange list.

Rile ?And His Great Sncccss In Worli lug for His Town. Tbe editor of the Press and Banner spec several hours in Greenwood one day lai week, and during his stop he fell into tt hands of Mr. Tboa. F. Riley, who 1b one of tb most publlo spirited citizens of the town, aD has done as much for Greenwood's growth t any living man. He established the first newspaper In tb town. He did his full share in building tbe Augu ta nnd Knozvllle Railroad. Without his aid tbe Greenwood cotton ml would never have been built. The (jrendei mill round a iriena in uim. He was tbe bead and front In the movi ment to establish Greenwood county, and tb beautiful proportions of tbe walls of II splendid Court House give htm pleasure an satisfaction. The sobool facilities of tbe town are parti result of his efforts. He is a patron and friend of the Craig Con pany roller mill. Tbe electric light found In him an earnes advocate, and the water works were urged b blm. We have enumerated only a few of tbe er terprlsen which be has aided and encouragec And although he has given a large part of hi time and energy toward the budding of th town, yet he nev^r refers to his llfe-wori Luring tbe time that we were with him b talked Greenwood, but never once referred t his own work In oehalf of tbe city wblcb b loves so well. He likes to drive the vlalto through tbe beautiful streets wblcb are line on both sides by handsome private resl deuces, having the prettiest surroundings. Let no man suppose that Mr. Riley lnsplrei this piece. We bave related circumstance wblcb we believe to be facts, and, whlct '* "** |a >K/\?? rtf ( ha nralo ramer man ciccukc, m iuvi> ? >uu due to blm. Of course be did not bulli Greenwood without aid. It Is possible an< no doubt Is true, that others may have In vesi ed more money In tbe town but Greenwooi never bad a citizen, who has labored mor unaelQshly for tbe good ol tbe town. He ha the power of organizing and be has ability t keep bis neighbors united In all their effort to build tbe town. While in Greenwood we learned that tb Seaboard Air Line had practiced some of it old tricks In that town whlcb were akin t those It operated In Abbeville, namely: It taking up tbe sidetrack to tbe cotton mill In Greenwood they made arrangement whereby one of their besl customers was "cu oft" from tbe use of sidetracks In receivln car load lots. This friend of tbe road recel? ed a greater number of loaded cars than al tbe balance of Greenwood. That former cm tomer of tbe Seaboard Air Line now order hiM car load lots shipped by another route and it is Bald tbe Southern comtemplate putting in a sldetraok for bis convenience We repeat this story, as we understand tb facts. Tbe details may vary a little, but c the statement that the Seaboard Air Line ha driven off one of its best customers we pre sume will not be denied. Tbe circumstance a Greenwood is some satisfaction to its friend in Abbeville, who are disposed to believe tha Abbeville has not been picked out as a specie object of spite at tbe bands of Mr. St. Job! who spent so much time and money in trj Ing to defeat the fulfillment of Its promise t give tbe Abbeville cotton mill 91.000 to locat on its line. No road ever made more seduol ive promises for tbe establishment of entei prises on its line, and it finally fulfilled it promise to the Abbeville cotton mill. LITERARY CLUB. Hon. W. II.
