FootwaihlDR and Pnrlfylng by Fire.
, Whatever may be lacking to make Abbe
vllle tcreat, there can be no question bat tha
we have a diversity of religion and an assort
ment of devotees. We have Jews, Cathollci
and Protestants of every variety. For In
stance, we have Episcopalians, Presbyte
rlans, Baptists, Methodists, Associate Reform
ers, Footwashers, and Flrebands. Each o
these varieties of religionists have amonj
them noble examples In holiness and in pure
ness of living, and, 1 Ike the Mormon wile
they are all bentonigolng to heaven, and ex
pect to find a good place In their home beyonc
the stars, where the subject of good roads anc
ugly mud holes will never disturb theli
peaceful minds. The olty to which we are al
hastening Is paved with golden Iblocks, anc

The thieve* having be&n sent to the olhei
place, the necessity for gaardsmeu, looks anc
bars no longer exists, and all Is serene anc
happy.
Each class of the religionists referred to, ari
striving for purity and higher living, bat th<
Kootwashers and the Firebrands are the cul
mlnatlon of the good that should charaoterizi
the earth and Its Inhabitants. Following th<
example of Lot, who entertained angels
whom he required to wash their feet befori
Lgoing to bed, so the Footwashers of today adc
the purification that oomes to the best o
earth by the use of water. When the averag<
religionist has attained the higb^ststandards
yet he mast be washed to become whole.
The Flrebands would purify as by flre. anc
woald consume In the destroying elemen
all that is evil.
The seeds of sla and death would b<
banished from the living temples of their im
perishable tools. The members after belnf
subjected to the flre test, may go up hlgbei
and flnd favor with the Lord. Tried bj
flre and their feet washed, our people ar<
ready for the Journey to the spirit land
Their preparation for occupation of the lane
of the blessed is perfect, and all Is well.
Up to the time of ihe arrival of the Footwashers
and the Flrebands,^be differ en
churches were doing a good work, each in in
own way, bat now the higher degree ol per
. lection Is attained by flre and water.
In case, however, none of these forms of re
ligion should meet the soul requirements o
any Individual, we have an artist in towi
who can mafce all sorts of Idols to oomfort al
classes of hungering souls, who may not b<
willing to acoept the bread of life, as furnish
ea Dy any or oar ortnoraox organizec
churches.

te. Tbree>4nsrtcri Time.
fb
Tbe Abbeville Cotton mill, like otber inatltntlODB
of Its kind, will reduce tbe boors o
labor to three-fourths of full time. MIUb lr
all parts of tbe coantry are shotting down foi
at least part of tbe time.
As a rale, It would be cheaper for tbe mill
owner* to iBioe rations to tbelr operatives
and let. tbe wheels stand until there Is i
change In the situation.
The demand lor cloth Is so slight that tb<
price bas run down to a figure at which th<
mills cannot afford to sell, when tbe price o
cotton is so high.
There are Bome things wblcb this edlto:
does not understand, and tbe price of clott
and tbe price of cotton may be named ai
things wblcb are beyond our oomprehensloD
But if tbe demand for tbe one and tb<
price of the otber is governed by tbe law o
apply and demand, it occurs to as that tbi
k.. W U
iuvi OOOCU VUUOUUipiilUU U1 UUUUU UM UIUU^U
about the anomalous condition whloh exist
today.
The amount of cotton which has been pro
doced lor tbe last year or two 1* not verj
different rom recent previous years, whil<
tbe nambe of spindles baa greatly increased
Tbe increased production of clolb, tbere
tore, seems to have exhausted tbe aupply o
tht> raw cotton, and caused tbe rise in tbe
price In tbe same.
Tbe oversupply of clotb has run down
tbe prioe of tbat commodity to a figure wblct
must force tbe mills to bold np until suet
time aa the prioe of the raw material and tbe
manufactured product adjust themselves.
This is our theory. Each man may figure
It out to suit himself. But there is no disputing
tbe fact tbat between tbe prices of the
cotton and tbe clotb the mills are in a bole
Just now.
Bat things will right tbemselvea, and all
will yet be well. Tbe mills will bave tbjii
Inning, and tbey will all be happy yet. Bet
ter times are ahead. A few years ago tbe
farmers were in bard luck and the mllli
made fortunes. Now tbe tables are turned
a nd tbe farmers bave an Inning, Fortune'!
wheels, is on tbe turn. Some go np wblle
otbera go down.
Immigration Bureau.
Home brethren of tbe press favor tbe es
tabllshment of an Immigration bureau foi
South Carolina.
Tbe Press and Banner folly concurs, and
would like to see some practical effort tc
bring people to this favored land, which ic
so sparsely settled that in some localities tbe
finest and tbe best laods may be bad for $4 or
55 an acre. We have beard that some entire
townships in Abbeville County could be bad
at these figures.
Good land in this old Connty Is as cheap ae
dirt, and will produce crops of greater money
value than much of tbe western farming
lands tbat sell at from 860 to $100 an acre.
Before tbe war Abbeville people were re'
garded as rich, and they made tbelr moDey
out of tbe soil. We tben bad no manufactures.
Tbe same land is here today, and tbe tame
intelligence and energy tbat made oar fathers
rich, In former years, would make as rich
and prosperous now.
Why should a farmer go to tbe west to grow
wiu at pujau u^uicn uu ujku yj iucu inuu
when low priced cotton land In an
old settled country can be had for credit
or cash, at figure* ?o Email that they would
appear to represent tt? rent, Instead of the
purchase price?
Tbe Huguenots.
Here is a letter which refers to the time of

It shows that tbe pilgrims were expeoted to

Sir: Inclosed Is a letter to Mr. Boutlton to
acquaint blm that I now send you orders to
furnish tbe French colony with three steers
ol foor year old (which I expect at Dr. Murray's
equal price) that is to say, odb steer every
ten days. I expect that the Frenchmen
will exert themselves for this favour. As tbe
money given by tbe Assembly is almost all
expended, I will pay you out of my own
pocket for It.
I expect tbey will build an house for tbe
performing of divine service, ana make some
progress in Duuoing tor tneir rammee ium

planting corn to support themselves alter
next Fall, also for making hemp, by which
tbey may enrlcb themselves. I will give
tbem four bushels of hemp seed from my own
pocket wben I bear tbey bave land prepared
for It.
I shall do every thing In my power to promote
tbelr prosperity, but tbey must also exert
their own labour and industry for tbat

The Furniture Factory.
1 The Walhalla Courier notes what we Bald
' recently about establishing a new furniture
factory at Abbeville, and suggests that a furniture
factory be built in that town. We
: expect to get much of our timber from that
town. Walhalla must not manufacture all

THE D. W. F. C.
-
. President Boyce Goes to Look Cane,
Accompanied bj One of His Pretty
Paplls, MInb Jnnle Wldemnn.
President James Boyoe of tbe Due West Fe1
male College, In company wltb Miss Janle
. Wldeman, a pupil of bis college, passed
through Abbeville last Saturday on their way
to Long Cane, wbere Sunday was spent, tbe
- Doctor preaching to tbe assembled people
. and Miss Janle giving real pleasure to her
father, Mr. W. P. Wldeman and other bornefolk.
She stands well with her olaaB, and
f next year she will, though young In years,
5 be a Senior?that la to say Bhe will be a member
of the graduating class.
Under Ibe management or President
Boyce the Female College is wonderfully successful.
The good work wblcb be Is doing
could not be computed. Tbe only surprslng
thing to us Is tbat a still greater number ol
young ladles are not In tbe classes ol tbat
oollege.
From tbe President down to the humblest
student, all are making active preparations
for the oIosIdk scenes or tbe scbolastio year.
The col ege has for a long time been recognized
as apowerln tbe Cburob and It Is possible
tbat tbe nynod at Its next meeting may
take tbe institution under its care ana ownership,
even as it has done by Ersklne College.
In tbe past tbe subject has been agitated,
?nd it is probable that a change or ownership
may soon take place, though or this
Doctor Boyce did not speak.
As be and Miss Wideman returned rrom
Long Cane on Monday, tbey met a number ol
friends and dined with the Rev. W. C. Ewart,
at Abbeville.
OFF FOR NEW ORLEANS.
Abbeville Well Represented at the
Confederate Reunion.
It seems tbat interest In the annual reun-.
Ions of tbe Conrederate Veteran:. Increases as
ihe years pass, and tbat the number of veterans,
like tbe pension rolls, grows larger and
larger. The number represented to be In Columbia
last week went op Into tbe thousands,
and tbe veterans who are jexpeoted at New
i Or earn win exoeeo euner or toe armies or
r Lee or Jobmoa at tbe oloae of tbe war. Tbe
loorease of tbe numbers may be accounted
for Id tbla way: Tbe exact number of tbe
- army roll was known, wblie tbe orowdB tbat
. assemble at the reunions, like tbe crowds ai
I political meetlogs, are estimated. We all
know tbe loudness of tbe newspaper folk lor
large numbers.
If we notice tbe newspapers we will be ooni
vineed tbat tbe ranks of the Confederate soldiers
are being tblnned. We can scarcely
k pick ap a dally paper tDat does not announce
. the deatb of an ex-Confederate soldier. When
we see on every band, tbe aged and Infirm
soldiers who cannot undertake tbe fatigue ol
' a long Journey, and wben we know tbai
1 many otbers, for financial reasons, cannot go
to these reunions, we are Impressed with tbe
belief tbat tbe numbers In attendance must
1 be greatly over-estimated. Besides, tbe aged,
? tbe list of pensioners must be deducted.
Tbe reunions are pleasant occasions for all?
for both soldiers and those who have come oti
l tbe stage since the war. The pretty sponsor*
and tbe gallant young men fill a big space Id
the affair. And then everybody eels a Iodk
ride on tbe oars at nominal rates.
Among tboee who went to New Orleans
from Abbeville were: Messrs. 8. F. Cromer,
C. W. Kendal), L. W. Perrln, Esq.. Sheriff C.
J. Lyon, Dr. C. B. Cowan, M. B. Reese, Rev.
- Olenn, colored.

TRUCK FARMING.
When Conditions Salt, and the Mar*

Bailneti.
Every town or olty the size of AbbevlHe fur
alsbes a good market for all tbe vegetables
1 that may be offered. When tbe borne con
sumption Ib overdone, tbe vegetables may be
r shipped abroad.
To run a truck farm successfully, regardless
> of tbe rains, Irrigation Is necessary,
p When there are many small streams here,
and when It Is possible to turn the water od
I Lit) IUW lauuo, lb acouio ouau|D W buo A icon
? and Banner thai oo one has ever tried Ibe exI

Many years ago, Edward Westfleld bad
e great success In lrrlgHtlng a small piece ol
t ground which be planted In corn. His sncf
cess In making corn on an Irrigated field, \7e
thought Induced blm to quit tbe tan yard, to
go to farmlDg In Sanluck, where he was not
quite so successful without water.
, One family in town last year made on a plot
in the garden a little larger than a piazza floor
- enough multiplying onions to buy a barrel ot

A farmer seven miles In tbe country, sold
1 this season from tbe sixteenth of an aore 850
! worth of strawberries.
When a small piece of land can be Irrigated,
a world ot snap beans may be grown, while
1 vegetables of all other varieties can be grown
i to tbe beart'8 content.
When water can be turned on at pleasure,
tbe planter does not baye to wait for tbe
clouds or tbe rains. If weoan afford to spend
large sums of money for commercial, ferlll,

passes, which 1b more valuable than fertlll-1
' zers. For half tbe cost of fertilizers thou>
sands of acres could be irrigated.

Dear Sir: Everybody considers painting a
necessary nuisance, and you are probably no
exception. s<
You can't abolish It altogether; but you _
can make It oome ball as often, and oont only
two?tblrds as much each time, and have your
house look better all tbe time.
Everybody knoWB that the sea-shore U bard n
on palot. The Farrlngton residence at Rock- J
land.Malu?, a sea coast town, was painted R,
with Devoe seventeen years ago. Tbe bouse jg
has never been repainted, and seems to be
well painted yet.
If you want to take the trouble to be convinced,
we can send you a hundred other Instances
; but none so striking as this. ?
This Is not all. Devoe Lend and Zlno not
only wears longer, but It paints more square
feet to the gallon than any other paint?especially
mixed paints. It Is the "Fewer gallons

The Oldest Man in the World,
Undoubtedly the oldest man in the
orld, and probably tbe oldest human
?lng, is Manuel del ValleofMeolo
ark, Cal. He h s reached the age of
iTyears.
He has legal proof of his age. In
lany cases of persons living beyond
le hundred mark who have attracted
u oiic auenuon mere naa oeen grave
>ubt as to the year of their birth,
elief in their age is baaed upon their
evd stories or od hearsay.
Manuel del Valle's proof is documeniry.
He has In his possession the
rtificate of his birth, signed by tbe
fe policico, or chief magistrate of
ncatacas Mexico. ? The certificate,
hich shows that del Valle was born
; Zacatecas on November 24, 1745, is
ipplemented by the records of *v j
[exican customs service, in whlcl -e
srved fur many years.
Were it not for these indisputable
roofs it would scarce be believable
lat a human being could have reachi
the age of 157.
At the time Del Valle was born
feorge Washington *as only thirteen
ears old. This living man was ten
oara nIH irhan (ha ITron/ih onH TnHlun
ar began.
He was a grown man of twenty
ben the battle of Bunker Hill was
>ught.
He was already an old man when
lapoleon was defeated at Waterloo,
elng then Kixty-flvA years old.
Del Valle was 101 years old at the
eginning of the Mexican war.
He retired from active business
ineteen years before tbat, having
iien reached the age of eighty-eight
He was twenty years a customs offlial
at Ensenada, Lower California,
'rom 1814 to 1845 he acted as supernumerary
in the Francincan mission
t San Quentiu, Lower California, the
rst mission building to be established
n the Pacific coast, and which is now
3 ruins.
Id 1845, when be was just 100 years
Id, Del Valle came with relatives to
'hat is now San Francisco in a vessel
lat sailed around Cape Horn. He
aa lived in Menio Park.since then
nd has occupied the saiqe room, his
reat-grandnephew, Jose del Vaile,
)oking after the truck farm that suports
the family. ,
Manuel del Valle looks his great age.
[e is a little, dried-up, frail man,
jaroely five feet tall and weighing
ot more than ninety pounds. He is
till able to walR without assistance
nd takes a 'daily stroll about bis
ouse.? He bas not been more than
ivo blocks away from it in thirty
ears. He can see but little, but be
ears fairly well.
He speaks English brokenly, but unerstands
it well. He never was
luch interest* d in the big events of
tie world. He says be has never used
quor nor tobacco. Furthermore h?
eclares that he never bas wet his feet
or been out in a frost, apparently
olding these tnings to be equally
bominable, He never eats solid food,
is only nourishment being bean
roth, and all day long he sits in the
jnsbine ip front of of bis abode home.
-New York World.
Dr. Lorenz too Modest.
Dr. Lorenz hat been telling his fel>w
Viennese bow delighted were bis
.mericau experiences. In the' public
ildress there last week be told how
srdially be had been received by
verybody, from the president of the
tailed States, to locomotive firemen,
nd bow everybody seemed eager to
>nrn Rnvthmc lift had to teiU'h. tn py
res8 their approval of his work, and
i every way possible to make his vis;
enjoyable.
But while paying the=e tributes to
kmerican hospitality he confessed a
:eady disappointment' in its gattroomic
manifestations. Amid all the
ood dinners he ate he felt an un>
ratified longlug for the boiled beef
nd sauerkraut of bis native laDd.
Lnd while he found American women
smarkable for education, cleverness,
nd artistic taste he went away with
be impression that they could not
Dok a dinner.
That Impression undoubtedly arose
rom tbe failure of his American bostsses
to provide him with the beef and
iuerkraot for which he longed. Dr.
iorenz is but human, and when tbe
verage man is not offered what he
'ants to eat be is prone to suspect
bat his entertainers do not know how
> cook. Yet the fault was evidently
is and not ours.
If he bad suggested in the most
usual manner that he preferred beef
nd sauerkraut to all other viands,
eef and sauerkraut of the best quanty
and cooked in the choicest Vien
ese style would nave Deen proviuea
1 abundance. Americans are no
;rangers to that disb. Bat our varle,r
of edibles is such that something
i bound to be omitted from the most
laborate dinner unless the guest of
onor drop some hint of bis special
istes.
"If you don't see what you want ask
>r it/' used to be tbe sign displayed
i our mercbantile establishments,
f it is displayed no longer that is bemse
the spirit it expresses has beime
ingrained in the American
laracter. When the American
Dec n't pee what he wants he asks for
. And if tbe asking be done in the
roper way no American takes offense,
hat is the American way.
Itisalsothe American way to get
hat be wantp?from a British steamlip
line to a Florentine Old Master,
id from an Egyptian bridge contract
' the shoe trade of Vienna. We are
at restrained by any false modesty in
itting what we want. That is the
jality which has caused such heartarcbings
in Vienna over American
impetition."
Tnfented with tbe false modesty of
fete Europe, Dr. Lorenz omitted to
ention that he wanted beef and
uerkraut. Therefore he did not get
8 favorite dish. But he will get it
e next time he visits us, for now we
low what he wants.

HOW TO ATTAIN OLD~AGE.
Adrlee From as Authority oa the
Subject of LoaireTltx.
Of the giving of recipes for longevl- , \
ty there 1? apparently no end.J Every
man or woman who has reacnea oat .
fas beyond the allotted threescore
years and ten is made the subject of
an entertaining argument to prove the
points of this or that contender.
Every abnormality In the shape of j
strength of arm, of back, of general j
system, is used as an illustration of
the virtues of this or that system of
exercise or living. It is the opinion of /&
a good many laymen that mankind
does entirely too much thinking on the '
subject of how to 11 \e to a ripe old age. v
Lees worry on this point might lead - ,f"j
to the desired result |

Even now the list of systems for pro- S
longation of man's days Is being augmented.
The very latest suggestion ^
comes from a physician of credit and
renown. He thinks that there Is a ';iV3
very great deal of benefit or of injury
In the wearing of certain kinds of ?./.
clothing.
According to this, authority, the
wearing of flannel next the skin Is ;
immensely Injurious to the general run $?|
of men and women. Cotton Is king, In ^
his opinion. For summer wear ha
suggests a calico shirt, while balbrlg- :'}$M
gan cotton Is his idea of winter covering.
The main point of his theory
is the necessity of wearing always the
same kind of material next the skin,
whether this be of Linen, cotton of AjftgS
wool.
Outdoor exercise Is highly reoommended?that
