?' The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. AfPabllshed every Wedneedp at. 52 a year In advance. Wednesday, June 3, 1903. "Leading In Prayer. "They had never leaned to lead In prayer." Thus spoke the Associate Reformed Reformed Presbyterian last week. It Is not exactly clear to us what Is meant by "leading In prayer." Lit Is right for a man to lead bis family In prayer. It may be well for an elder to lead the Wednesday evening prayer-meeting In prayer, But It Is not right for a layman to "lead In prayer" In church on Sunday, where people have assembled for religious worship, and where the regular ordained minister Is expected to conduct the service. While some very good laymen may commit the error of praylog In church on Sunday, yet when they do so they make themselves a target for cruel criticism, while doing the cause of religion a barm. Does any tody want to bear a bricklayer, a carpenter, or a lawyer, pray in churoh ? This question, the Press and Banner would attempt to answer In the negative, and if the aforesaid bricklayer, carpenter, or lawyer would be Just to themselves and to the church, they would not do an act which can result only in adverse criticism to themselves and injury to the church. Is it not a fact that 8U0h aot on their part has a tendency to keep people away from the sanctuary ? Whenever anybody reports to us that be expeota or loves to bear a layman prav In church on Sunday, we^shall be glad to note the exception to the rule. David, we believe It was, was not allowed to build the temple, because he bad blood on his hands. Possibly for less pronounced reasons oar laymen should not approach toe near to the sacred altar. Elders or Deacom should exemplify the Christian religion in their dally walk, and not attempt to usurp v, the functions of the preacher. In connectron with this we may be pardoned for relating a circumstance as told to us ; Mr. Schrader of this town, then of Loirudesville, during a revival Joined the church, Those in authority wanted to clinch him and asked him to pray. He replied . "I shoe thf hnrupa nnrt mind t.hfi narnni. von tin tht rraylng." Banning People by Charity. Tbe Atlanta Journal objects to tbe expenditure of two and a half million of dollars In tbe erection of a peace monument because bo many people need bread. We know or no better way of giving It to tbeno tban In giving tbem work by wblob tbey can earn It. If tbe money Is paid out to tbem without any oon* slderatlon on their part, you will make idlers of tbem and when this money gives out tbey will come back for more. .Let tbem bnlld a peace monument and pay tbem for tbelr work Instead of donating tbe money to tbem. i ?Washington, Ga., Cnronlcle. Tbe principle announced In tbe above is perfectly correct. The best way to give aid to tbe struggling poor Is to give tbem opportunity to work. To give them alms, lowers ?ViaIv aAlf.vaonAAt onH nrhon (ho fvoo hraH la - gone they too often expect more. A very large per cent, of the human family would be willing to remain Idle, if somebody would feed and clothe them. For tbls reason, the charitably Inclined should be careful not to enoourage laziness or trlfllngness. Better encourage people to better and higher effort, o that. Instead of dragging In the dirt, they may reach or attain higher and more worthy plj. things. Believing that oomfort, self-respect, and good living Is based upon Industry, charitable people, or publlo spirited citizens, should strive to provide means by which their worthy neighbors may make thtma\ selves comfortable and Independent. Tnere Is nothing like the glorious privilege of being . ' independent. And the vast majority of oui people may be comfortable and Independent ?as far as this world's goods Is concerned?1 proper and suitable opportunities for enob ling work is presented. For these reasons industrial enterprise! should be established in every town. Labor properly managed, not only helps the labor er, bdt it enriches the capitalist wbofurnlsbet the money. Properly managed InduBtrla! enterprises are the country's greatest bene fontnra Id Hard Lack. A few years ago Mr. Montgomery of Spar tanbarg, this State, went to Galnsvllle, Ga. and built a cotton mill. Less than a yeai later, Mr. Montgomery, the builder of the mill, fell from a scaffold and was killed. Lasl Monday a ;cyolone struck tbe mill and did great damage to the property. Many of the operatives were killed. It seems that storms are no respectors 01 persons or things in their way. Tbe> strike with equal violence the church and the mill, tbe home and the railroad train. Infants Slay Now be Saved. Tbe Northern Presbyterians have reoently acoorded salvation to the souls of infants wbc die before tbe age of responsibility. And thus It la tbe world moves, and tbe idea tbal "hell Is full of Infants not a span long." li giving way to more rational sentiment. In Bi-raU 01 orueiij huu uuouuniMuieuuoo ii in hj be hoped that a divine spirit may be found ir the hearts of those who profess the religion of our Saviour. [ { it,. * Oat of the Ring. Billy Bryan 'and Grover Cloveland, as lai as Presidential possibilities are ooncerned, are dead ducks. Tbey might Just as well sit down, but we think Billy is determined tc oommlt suicide by talking himself and otben to death. Let tbe Democrats get together flght for some principle, and get new men tc to lead tbem. Nobody wants to bet hit money on horses that have been so often beaten, and nobody thinks a man with Graver's record could be eleoted. Seaboard Shopn. . Tbe Seaboard Air Line shops were reoently burned. Atlanta, Columbia and perhaps other Bmall towns are making petitions and showing tbe advantages of their respective places for tbe rebuilding of the shops. II Abbeville would make tbe proper effort, the Bhnna mlarhf. hn hrnnirht. In thin nlnnn T.nt the council seed a delegation to the proper authorities. If we do cot ask for tbe (shops, some of the enterprising little townB like Atlanta and Columbia may be tbe winners. The arrival of fifty mill operatives In Anderson a short time ago, was tbe occasion ol congratulation by the newspapers of that town. It 1b inferred that the progressive town bad not bad such boost in a long time, and we are alwayB glad to note tbe evidence of prosperity on the part of a neighboring town. But a little later than tbe arrival of fifty mill operatives, some Infernal immlgra* tlon agent came along and swiped forty negroes. The towu oouncll, with commendable zeal held a meeting and took steps to sqaelch tbe immigration business. And all Is well. To be Debated. The Literary Societies of the different colleges may discuss the relative value of the arlona ball games as compared to the Literary course in the colleges. Shall Commencements be of Literary or Athletic efforts ? . S. A. li. Shop*. Abbeville ban the advantage in position, and If proper efforts were made we might get an enlargement of tbe Itallroad shops since the destruction of the S. A. L. Shopt at Ports mouth. We would suggest that the Town Council take the matter under consideration and take such steps as may be deemed best. Little Is gained by non-action; much Is sometimes gained by proper effort. Dnneeron*. The rain last Monday washed considerable dirt from the railroad fill over the branch In Fort Pickens. It Is now considered dangerous to walk on the upper side of the track, and persons who travel that way do so at their peril. Trains now stop near the trestle, and passengers alight, or get aboard at that point. If the new larnlture factory and the knit ting mill enterprises are not dead, they cer tainly are not very frisky.. We haven't organized anything for a year, and the time is ripe for something?a funeral, if nothing better offers. I<niy 4'lub. If we can't organize anything else, let ub organize a "Lazy Club" for the Summer. ? m COME INTO COURT. Petit Jurors. Jas. Patterson Diamond nni C. L, Pressly Cepar Springs E. W.

One of the most fruitful sources of JH household waste and extravagance Is the coal bin, and tons of fuel are used xt where a single one would give the -KjM same results. Open drafts and a range jj full to the covers of glowing coals not g only burn a needless amonnt of coal, jj but burn out the range at the same a time. A shovelful of coal or sufficient '.<9 to lightly cover the fire will ^Lccom- > 9 pllsh as much as a half scuttleful, ex- 1 cepting In the Increase of the coal i't* mnn'n f-rorlo ? .'l For a small range nut cool Is beet; for a large one, small egg coal. Red j ash coal makes a hotter fire, with fewer cinders, than the white ash, and .j the latter burns more slowly: For 1 these reasons an equal mixture of the J two Is a wise economy. The ashes j taken from the fire should never be I thrown Into the can until they are 1 sifted. The' cinders thus obtained can I be used on the fire at times when the ^1 greatest heat is not needed. But they ?. '-y iffB should always be added after the fresh j coal Is well aglow. I A third of a cupful of kerosene with '.] which to saturate the kindling and j coal before putting it in tne range i will facilitate the housemaid's morning work, whether or not the fire has * ; been kept overnight Kerosene should never, however, be poured directly Into ; a stove, either from the cup or can. The best way Is to lay the wood on ; a Shovel and' cover It there with the oil, and then add a sprinkling to a shovelful of coal. Many housekeepers ">vtssffl Insure their kitchens against accident I.r>^| from this cause by leaving a part of a cupful of oil for the servant's use and ^ locking the rest in the storeroom.
