S ??????_? u n , Cowden and Camden. li It will be remembered that we remarked J last week on tbe fact that a letter had been h returned to us from "Camden, S. C.," "un e claimed." tl It now seems that some of the postal clerk* i oould not read the directions, as written by e us, and no blame can attach to the postmai- ? ter at Camden for the return of our letter. r< As we bad never beard of Cowden up to tbe reception of the following letter, we tblnk ? tbl8 editor ougbt to be acquitted at least of <j any Intention to write to Mr. Blrcbmore at ? Cowden. Tbe following letter lets tbe Cam* H den postmaster completely out of it. But c why did Cowden beep our letter for two a months and fourteen days? Why did not * Cowden postmaster stamp on the envelope t *he date of Its reception ? Or, did It ever ft go anywhere? The envelope doesn't even ? show that It had ever been out of the Ab- f, bevllle post office. But tbe Abbeville post- M master recolleots to have started it oft and be p reoognlzed it on its return. ' o Mr. Hugh Wilson, Abbeville, S. C. 81 Dear Sir: Please accept, thanks for en elope berewltb returned wblob on examine- S tlon you will And has never before been in tb1i office. It is addressed plainly Cowden, which Is in |Alken. Co., and I suppose returned from that office. Mr. Blrcbmore has also in bis possession a special delivery w package from you plainly directed to Cbw- l| den and forwarded from that place to Cam- " den. It Is simply an absurdity to suppose " that a letter to C. W. Blrcbmore should have J} been detained Id Ibis office knowingly for a r single day. Aa yon have unwittingly mis- o. represented this office through tbe columns t( of your valuable paper, I believe you will use ? woni r%f ornnflraMncr im. 11 Youib very respectfully, ' C.J.

The announcing the death of Thomas L. 0 Woodslde, of Greenville, the Mountaineer, t| among other things, said: n "Hla religion was steadfast and unobtru- J1 lve. and the world knew that he waa a " Christian." A more beautiful or a more impressive ex- ^ presalon about any man has not come under r onr observation. "The world knew that be 11 * was a Christian," is a statement whloh we H can accept at 1U face value, and it Is In strlk a Ing contrast with the funeral orations whlcb |j we so often bear. It Is often the case that lt "the world" ;dld not know of the virtues whlcb are attributed to the dead, until ^ announoed at his funeral, and It If ,< often the case that meu returning from 11 h? fnnUFol rilinv IhA of the " ? ? ?, ? - a peech Id referenoe to the deceased. It Is o great Injustice to the dead to exalt their b character and to attribute to them virtues " wblob "the world" would deny to them. ,| Let the palplt and the press speak nothing 11 bat the tratb concerning the dead, and let or apeak no evil of tbem. 0 ? 5 The Need of Care. n a If the Newberry Herald bad written the d following paragraphs of Abbeville, they would < have (applied-equally W6ll as to Newberry, ,j except, we believe, Abbeville has no typbold b fever. ? {] Tbe Herald and News bas bad several c references to the prevalence of fever In thle community and has urged the flushing of tbe ^ bydrants and extra vigilance and activity on Li tbe part of tbe authorities. 0 It strikes us that If "Newberry has been (J singularly tree" from typbold fever we pity j the other communities which have more. ? We know one physician here who now bat; 5 ten cases and there are seven otber physlclans In the community and It would scarce- l( ly happen that one pbyslclan would have all the typhoid oases In the city. Our only pur- 1( pose baa been to arouse the officials and the ,j citizens to the Importance of using all pre e cautions possible to prevent the further spread of the disease. The city is not in that sanitary condition H< which it onght to be and which it should be r The water no doubt is pure when it comes from the well but when it reaches 0 the consumer!! in many places It smells ^ so bad i that many of them can scarcely use it. It may still be pure but we k would like to have some explanation of the \ bad odor. We have a right to expect tbe healtb officers and the board of health to look ^ after the sanitary oondltion of tbe city. It Is ?| only the good health of this community b which prompt* us to speak. tl a li Good Day at Dae West. ? Mr. J. N. Nance, a progressive and prosper- ? ous farmer of Due West was in town last Sat- J ' urday, and during bis Blay In the city, be * \ made a pleasant call at tbe office of the Press l( and Banner. He is such an enthusiast on the s subject of farming that be bas engaged Dr. J. ? B. Hunnlcut, editor of the Southern Culti- p vator, to deliver a lecture on agricultural sub- t< J ecm ill lue luuiiuuuiu ui uisbiuc uucgc ^ next Wednesday at four o'clock. Everybody, ^ and especially the farmers, are Invited. Dr. c Hunnlcutt being well Informed, as well as an ^ entertaining talker It Is hoped that all may Avail themselves of this opportunity to be E Informed and to receive Inspiration on the ? great material interests of the country. ti ??' p The Press and Banner has great respect for ? the life and character of the dead Pope Leo, 0 and said so. In nothing that we have said or e thought was anything Intended to show dis- ? respect to the memory of a good man, yet for s all this we were tired of seeing so much said w In the newspapers about the Pope's sickness jj a uttiu, luuuu ui wuivu wimi uuuccDSBary j| and In no way connected wltb the parity and g goodness of the man, who had been so excellent a ruler and who had given the world so p many reasons to revere his memory. tl We say this because we seemed to have " been misunderstood. We would neither 0 Intentionally show disrespect to the dead nor ri wonnd the religious sensibilities of any one. ? ? ABBEVILLE BIBLE SOCIETY.

The Presbyterian church and the Assoclat< ietormed church and the Episcopal churct 'ere closed last Sunday. The members o tiese congregations worshipped with th< lethodlsts and the Baptists. Rev. P. B. Wells conducted the service It 30 Methodist church, and the Rev. Mr. Buch oltz, the new pastor, led the divlue servici t the Baptist church. Mr. Wells got aloug finely with hi* sermon -om the beginning uulil its conclusion. Dur ag his discourse he made some remarks ri rhat may be termed the lesser sins, or th< oubtful amusements. The learned dlvlo< ad much to say about the love of the world xcludlng the love of God from our hearts nd he rung the changes on these words front he beginning to the ending of his remarks 'he pious divlue, however, failed to defini xactly what he meant by the expresslot nd, therefore, according to the construclloi ut upon It, he may have beeu perfectly cor set. un some of bis specifications as to wba omes under the bead "love of the world" b< numerated: The theatre, CHrd playing anc anclng. He thought all these were sinful nd he inveighed against th^m, using tin tock expressions in reference thereto. He did not specify wherein the theatre ant ards were wrong, except thai in them wer< waste of valuabe time, and these pleasurei nd recreations were not promotive of pletj He dwelt at great length on dauclng anc bought that it was evil. He even weut k ?r as to excite the sentiineut in at least on< f his hearers, namely: That, even th? rp?rhf>r in thn Lord's lmlv temple should In >rm himself that he might be Just to thosi r'hom lie was arraigning. As to Theatres.?To condemn all theatrlca erformances is about like commending al ooks or a'I newspapers, when we Know thai ame are good and some are bad. There are three great forces that rule and overn the human mind and heartFirst?The pulpit. Second?<The pre^s. Third?The theatre. The pulpit being the fountain head Iron 'blch all light should proceed, It Is need/u lerefore fiat the pulpit should know some ilng of "the world," that it may deal falrlj lth all mankind, eveu as our Saviour w&i lindful of "the world." Our Heavenly atber so "loved the world" that be sent hit nly Son to save "the world," and not to sen mce us to perdition. The Institution 'blch our Saviour established for the salva on of "the world" would not uow separate self from "the world" to organize an exolu ve little association which Is made of supeor clay, and whose members were bettei aan the rest of us. Evil creeps into all the walks of life, and >metimes even the sacred precincts of the oly temple are Invaded by error. No place n earth Is safe from the assaults of sin. But there are three great agencies by whicb ie human heart may be reached, and each lay be a power to bring good to "the world.' a the human heart a responsive cord may be ad in each. The craving for the theatre if nlversal, and will continue as long as it ic eopled by the creatures who now inhabit le world or walk upon the face of the globe he theatre appeals alike to the cravings 01 le high and the lowly. It is both spectaculai ud Intellectual. It plays upon the senses ol II, and appeals to the mind and heart of all nd it will remain with us for all time, lu lfluence will be for good or evil according tc ie character of the play and the manner o ,s acting. Instead, therefore, attempting the lm pontile In the effort to destroy It, let us recog lzetbe fact that it will exist and continuf > be a power for good or evil. Our energies 'directed to the purification of the stage anc > the encouraging of the demand for purei cting, might do much ;good. Witbou ae presence of good people the stage woulc e unprofitable and could not exist. If, there >re, church people would exercise more cart i selecting the plays which they witness belr aot would have a tendency to purity tb< aeatre. Instead of being an enemy to religion anc lorallty, the theatre, like the press, should bi tillzed by the church, even as It UBes thi ress, to promote to holy ends and purposei f the church. They could be made the hand lalde of the pulpit. And the pulpit can n< lore destroy the theatre than the theatre cat estroy the church. United, they are tb< rpatKKi nnRKlhle force for uood. We understood tbe preacher to Bay tha auclng bad a low orlglD, aod that itcouk e learned aud practiced alike by savagei nd monkeys, suggesting to us tbe Idea tba e bad In mind tbe Indian war daHce o ruelty and death. If tbe reader will permit we will lnser ereln a notice of (be tir6t woman to danci be round dance In America. It will scareelj e admitted that she, at least, was of low rlgin and It will hardly be seriously conten ed thatthose in the lower walks of life art Iven to dancing. Dancing, as a rule, is by tbe blghei nd more cultivated people In society. Tn< waders of Washington society dance, and th< ?aders In society at tbe oapltal of every Stat< a tbe Union do the same thing. Tbe fact 1h (381 "the best people," as a rule, danct very wbere, wblle tbe bumble and the lowlj sldom dance any wnere. Here Is a quotation about Elizabeth Patter on, wbo was tbe first woman to dance th< ound dance in America : "Elizabeth Patterson was the daughter o no nf fhn rlnhpst merchants of Baltimore be waB tbe belle of tbe city at tbat tlmeotellectual and ambitious. When it becamt Down tbat Jerome Bonaparte, brother o fapoleon I would visit America, bis eomlnf ras anzlouBly looked for, as an event In arls acratlc circles. Mtsu Patterson, In order tbu' be might make herself more agreeable t( lm, at 9nce devoted herself to tbe study o tie French language, and at the time of hl> rrlval she was able to speak to tbe lorelgnei i his own language more fluently than coulc ny other American lady whom be bad me n tbe continent. This gave Miss Pattersor wonderful advantage over rival ladles, ant erome was bo much fascinated that b< ought her band in marriage. During bli tay in Baltimore he learned Miss Pattersoi o dance tbe round dance, and it is said thai he is the flrstAmeilcan lady whoever en aged in that dance In this country. "Her birth was coeval with that of the Re mbltc. She weptastettbetldlngsofMarieAn Dinette's tragedy reached our shores. Sb< ras a woman when Washington died. Jel arson was her friend. Lafayette held bei and; and her name is lmperishably asso iated with one "who kept tbe world at bay ?hose game was empire, and whose stakei ?ere thrones." "Her marriage to Jerome Bonaparte was Ir lecember, 1803. She was then eighteen yeart f age, a woman of wonderful maturity o knvAAlov onH onHnmoH mIth isil Koonttr fr?r une and every personal attraction. "For many years after thIs Madame Bona arte was a power In French society. The re urn of the Bourbons removed every obsta le from her path, except, possibly, the Jeal as eyes of other beauties who feared at cllpse. The memoirs and society chronicle! f the time are full ol her. Miss Berry, "the lack-Berry," Madame Recamier, Madame d< tael, Madame de Genlls, and many otherf rhese beauty and wit have become a tradl Ion, were her contemporaries and rivals iaron Bonstettenof Geneva, savant and phi inthropist, an old man at that time, was t reat friend of Madame Bonaparte." As we understand the facts In reference tc laying cards, they are about as follows: Ai be time ot the Reformation the Protestant! rere under the impression that to oppose ibt tilngs which the Catholics did, was evidence f greater purity on their part. For tbU eason, with other reform", the playing o: ards was forbidden or tabooed. But as time assed, the objection to card playing has subIded, until now, only a small per oent. of the jore intelligent and more pious people enter iln serious opposition to cards. Whist is ao itellectual game, which the best people on arth may play with pleasure and profit without Incurring the least danger to tbeli lorals. But there are other games which are ot quite so genteel, ranging all the way own to the idiotic and senseless game o Inch, and about which latter game tbh tlltor knows no more than the average ulpit orator knows about poker. To dance to nice music is a natural Impulse f the youthful heart, and may be a sincere ipasure to the Dure In heart. A man whe ad Impure thoughts In a dance Bbould In anished as one unUt to be In the presence o ollte society. Charges of Impurity of the danoe Is modration would be bard to prove. And we think it a great injustice >r any one to make Insinuations aud tc .iHt Imputations against the character and onesty of young people who may like ic ance. A learned divine In the city of Atlanta not > long ago said that he never spoke against anclDg. Dancing, he said, was to him, an vldence of a lack of spirituality. Instead ol reaching against the effect he sought to smove the cause by inspiring his young peole with greater spirituality. Instead of trying to icast even the semlance of a sbadowover the life and conduct r the young, it seems to us tbat an effort ion Id be made to hold them up to the igiiest standards, while teaching them to row in grace. An eflort In that direction certainly more in accord with the ght than is any speech which would iggest thoughts which no man would dare ? utter. .Let no man misunderstand ?ih, or put an ifil construction on what we have s;>'d. We live great respect lor all those who may have om the pulpit spoke against dancing, and e are not attempting to encourage disslna on in dancing any more thun we would icourage excessive ltidulgene in other pleasres.i We would be Just to all, and would therefore rotest against the wrong which in ho often one to those who dance occaRionally. We link no man can by sneer or insinuation uthtully make charges against tiie thou uidsol good women wiio dance. Protesting against dauciUK, because It Is gainst the rules of any church is just aud roper. There is nothing wrong in unking the Thi i =T 1 li + Has j Although it i the time whe ; pected to be c 1 kept busy at his estab i hours of the day you filled with liberal buye this is not far to seek. 1 allowed to run down, 1 about as full and attra at any time during the If you wisli i compare young people to conform to the rules of the church of which they may be a member. As far as we are Informed, there Is no warrant In the holy Scriptures for assailing the character of those who do not see as we do, and the kingdom of our Saviour Is not ap proached by destroying the character of people who see no harm In what, to them is an Innocent diversion, but which to us may have j in It the possibility orereat harm. But admitting that there Is harm In dancing a ere we ready to support the act of imputing sin to people, who may be mi good as pure. I and as conscientious as we are ? To the pure In heart, all things are puro. i To the evil In heart there is not much that is g go-xl."
