The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C. *#-Pabll8hed every Wednesdp at (2 a Mor In nHvnnpfl. ^ ? Wednesday, Nov. 4,1903. Sunday In the Christian'!* Sabbath. Oar good friend and pious brother of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Is so often right that we would hardly expect to find In him any fault of his speeoh, or error of Judgment. Because of his exceptional correctness of speech, his errors, when he does make them, are more noticeable than if the same thing oocurred amoDg the rest of us, and If It were not that he is among those who are high In authority we would not call attention to the error and misapprehension of facts contained In the following. The Presbyterian Bays: PiT.T. TTT1T QaPU ATU T?V 71V "V A "VT L' VV a wish to endorse every word of the following paragraph taken from the Herald and Pres byter. We never could understand why a person who had any love for the Sabbath would call It "Sunday." We believe H Is true generally speaking when one haB been taught to say Sabbath ana begins to say "Sunday" it shows that he has lost something of the sacredness of the day: "If we have any Interest In the religious observance ot the Sabbath, let us call it by the right name. The use of the name "Sunday" Is one of the Influences that are deadening the consciences of the people. If the first day. of the week is the Sabbath, there are divine reasons for its sacred observance. If It Is not the Sabbath, we need not make any more efforts to keep It or have It kept holy. The divine sanction for the observance and nanotlflcation of the day lies in the faot that It Is the Sabbath. It we wish to make any impression in our plea for religious observance, let us call it by its divinely given name. If we do not do this, we give up our case. We get exceedingly tired of hearing about "Sunday" schools and "Sunday" observance. If we believe that we have foundation for our rell-| Kious me ana ooservances in tbe Word ol God, let ua show respect for him from whom they come,and when we speak of the Sabbath let as be reverent enough and thoughtful enough to oall It the Sabbath." From the above article which Is so unequivocally endorsed by the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, It will be seen that both the Presbyterian and the paper from which the extract la taken, utterly fail to understand that there is a difference between Sunday and Sabbath. Sunday Is a day of the week. The Sabbath is an lnstitutlou which was established as a day of rest and divine worship. Saturday Is the Jew'a Sabbath. Sunday Is the Christian's Sabbath. In the Bible times the daya ol the week were: First day, second day, third day, &c., not Monday, Tuesday, <&c? as now. "The Sabbath," so often referred to, had no particular reference to the day of the week. It was "the Sabbath," or the day set apart for rest from aecalar labor and for divine service. We speak of "CbriBtmaa," "New Year," "Fourth of July," without reference to the , days of the week on which these interesting periods oocur. We speak In the same way ol "the Sabbath," with this difference, that we always know that It occurs on "Sunday,'> while "ChrlBtmas," "New Year," &c., may oocur on any day in the calendar, and their ooourrence does not Bnggest any particular, day of the week. Our good brother wonld hardly expect the Jew to call Sunday "the Sabbath." His Sabbath occurs on Saturday, the day between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Our Sabbath occurs on Sunday, the day of the Resurrection. Sunday Is the Christian Sabbath. Saturday Is the Jewish Sabbath. The word Sabbath has reference to an observance. Not to the day of the week. The word Sunday has as explicit reference to a day of the week as does Monday or Tuesday. "So If we will be the children of our heavenly Father, we muBt be careful to keep the Christian Sabbath day, whloh Is the Sunday.'' Tv: Will.Abandon tbe Law. A few days ago, tbe editor of this paper heard a young attorney, a graduate of one ol , the oldest and most famous law schools in America, a brainy and ambitious young man, say that on account of tbe gross miscarriage of justice in the Tillman case, and r the utter disregard of law and evidence which prevailed at tbe trial, be thought be would give up tbe practice of law. It waB dlsoouraglng to him to realize that lawyers of high standing, prostitute honor, truth, paL trlotlsm to the earning of a fee, This young ' man's father was a strong supporter of Ben Tillman, by the way.?Spartanbarg Herald. The Press and Banner deeply sympathises with "tbe brainy and ambitious" young barrister. If be really thinks that bis moral qualities are such that he would not resist the temptation to take big fees he should be 1/VTklr aH ofthf Mlo frlonHa mlflrht fatra him oat to the tower pump and bathe his head nnder the spout. If the young man was ^ Btlll doubtful as to his strength of oharaoter, a Bttuatlon In one of the country saw mills, where ten rich "old field" pines are converted Into building material, might suit him* The temptation Is not great in a saw mill of this kind, and almost anybody could be kept straight "firing," or turning logs. Supernumerary Judges. At various times effort has been made in the Legislature to organize new Judlolal Districts In this State. It would seem to us that the election of Supernumerary Judges from the State at large woald be more in accord with the needs U1 IUH UUIO, We have enough circuits, but Special Judges are often a necessity, as at present. And If we had more olroults tbe occasion would more frequently occur. The Supernumerary Judges oonld holdall the extra oourte, and could take tbe place of any Judge who might be slok. There seems to be a need for extra Judges( y but we have enough Circuits. r Calbonn In Dead. The hopes of tbe friends of tbe proposed new County of Calhoun bave been blasted, and the unborn County of Calhoun Is dead. Tbe Attorney General did;it with bis little opinion, and tbe mourners go aboat tbe street. Bat, for all tbat, tbe enterprising and publlo spirited friends of tbe enterprise, need not be discouraged. Tbe same energy direct ed to tbe building of a cotton mill will result In greater good tban would come from the building of a court housb. It is stated tbat guards were placed at the places of illicit liquor dealers, and tbe blind tigers were run out of business in Columbia during tbe Fair week; If the places of Illicit liquor dealers are known during Fair week, it seems to a man at this distance tbat tbe Bame Information would be of servloe at other times tban Fair week. fc-V' > The Titers.

When we can get mules and immigrants merely by the asking and paying freight, why should we go to the expense of rearing men or raising muleB. INTER SE. Great Church Secret Among the Associate Reformed Presbyteriaus. The Associate Reformed Presbyterians have a great secret among themselves, and us each one has been entrusted with the information his or her lips have been hermetically sealed, so that no hint or suggestion of the valuable Information may escape to tbe general public. The Press and Banner loves to take Its readers Into Its confidence, and now kind reader If you will make the same promise that has been exacted of all the orthodox Associate Reformed Presbyterians, we will entrust you with the important information. Do you promise? Yes, X promise. Well, here goes. Give us your ear, and be prepared for what we shall say. The information, that is withheld from all the outside world Is this : The Yorkvllle Associate Reformed congregation has called to their pastorate. Rev. \V. C.Ewarl, pastor of the Abbeville ongrega llou. It has not yet transpired If Mr. Ewart has made up bit* mind as to what, be wlil do. We presume that the call will take the usual course. namely : First?That the oflers of Mr. Ewart's congregation will be consulted. Second?That Mr. Ewart will ask divine guidance. Third?That the Lord will direct him to accept the call to tueAtrger congregation, where his field of usefulness wou.'d bo enlarged. Fourth?That the Abbeville Church will be again without a pastor. Plftn?The Abbeville church will part with Mr. Ewart with sincere regretthough acknowledging tne justice and the propriety of his accepting the better otter at Yorkvilje. Sixth?That the Abbeville church will look hopefully to the future, believing that good luck remains In store lor them. Jn the past, as at the present, they have had some of the best preachers in the church, and there Is no reason why other good men should not be willing to come amongst us, where the probability Is, they will be called to a higher or a greater jwork. Of course this newspaper Is only speaking of its own motion. We know nothing, except that Mr. Ewart Is greatly beloved by this people. As preacher ana pastor ne hhh a warm place in every heart, aud if he goes away he will have the prayers and good wishes of all. Should the Yorkvllle congregation get Mr. Ewart, 88 we believe they will, the future will make clear the wisdom of their choice. Should be go away from Abbeville, somebody else will take his place. The little baud of worshippers will keep the faith, The Abbeville church seems to be, so to speak, a stepping to higher and better things. What Would Yon Think ? What would you think If you saw the mayor, the chief of police, an undertaker, a doctor and the owner of the property go to a door which they found locked, and then see them try to look through the window, while one of their number went around the house to the ear? That Is what some of our people saw i one day last week. They thought perhaps as J you would have thought. Gen. Edward McCrady is dead. He died suddenly at his home In Charleston, aged 71. A better or a more universally man did not live In South Carolina. LOWNDESVILLE. What the People of the Seven Hilled City are Doing. Lowndesvilie, Nov. 2,1903. Mr. H. H. Harris, Asaistant in our Hlgb School, left lor Columbia Mondayjmoming to attend Ithe Slate Fair. Our town and community had only the above named citizen to represent tbem, and no exhibits. Somehow, our folks seemed to feel no Interest in the State's gathering. Mr. J. J. Johnson occupied in the school, the place usually filled oy the above named. The last quarterly Conference for thin charge this year, was held In Smyrna church Mouday at 11:30. Dr. Jno. O. Wilson presided. At its olose, the above preached not to a very full house. Dr. C. S. Latimer of Abbeville, was here for several days last week engaged professionally Mrs. Martha Watson, wLo had spent a week or two at the home of her son-in-law, Mr.'B. Berry Alien, returned to her home in Anderson on Monday. Mrs. Berry Allen went to SpartRnburg Monday to attend as a deieuate from the churcti in ibis place, to the Woman's State Cjnveuilon of the BaptlM t'hurcli.

Mies Mae Robertson of Abbeville, has been for a lew days with the family of Mr. T. I). Cooley at this place. Mrs. W. S. Martin of Johnston, came up Friday evaning and Is still with her sister, who was then Mrs. M. E. Latimer, but has since changed (ber name, more particular mention of which will be made further on in this report. Rev. W. S. Martin of Johnston, reached here Saturday evening aud preached a flue sermon in the Methodist Church in this place at 11:80 a. m. Mrs. Clarence Llnder, Mr. Alston Carter and Miss Clarence Llnder and Miss Annie Lizzie Carter of Hartwell, Ga., being on a visit to the home of Hon. I. H. McCalla, they in company with Mr. M P. McCalla worshipped with the Methodists yesterday. Miss Annie Hawthorne of Latimer came up last week and has since been with her kinsman, Mr. E. W. Harper and family. The excursion from Anderson to Augusta for the accomodation of those wanting to attend the big circus on that day. While quite a crowd reached here from places above, there was, for a wonder, so It Is slated, not a tlc&et sold at this place. In consequence of tb? excursion, the mall train due here at 0:10 dlb not come till 9:30. Some Of the darkles and perhaps tome of J the whiles are a little uneasy because ot a re- I pc.rt In Grler's Almanac. They say that the world is coming to an eud on the 25th of this month, as on that date the calculation for the setting of the sun. Is at 1:01 p. m., and it 1r argued that the taking place of such an unheard phenomonon at such an hour, could bring about nothing short of the end of time.

Siuce the season has opened for the hunting of these night prowlers, the dog has treed, and they have been caught, BlXiy-lWO oi me vurixjium. Some of the folks on tbe eastern side of Rooky River, have been|mucb troubled in gelling to this place, because of tbe bridge near the Tom Young old mill site not belig in a crossable condition. Sometime ago the approaches to th3 covered bridge whs torn down to be rebuilt, and the contractors have not been able, although they offered high prices for the necessary help, to get it. To the people who have their cotton ginned here and do all of their trading here, it is do little inconvenience to tbem and it cauBes them a great deal of trouble. Saturday, and for a day of two before, our town was stirred socially, because of the rumors afloat that Dr. T. O. Klrkpatrlck and Mrs. M. E. Latimer were to be married on yesterday, and for once the rumors were the lorerunners of fact. At 7:30 a. m., the two mentioned above were UDited in marriage by Rev. \V. S. Martin, a brother-in-law of the bride, at her home. A few of the closest relatives were present. Tbe couple left immediately after breakfast for Honea Patb, where the parents of the Doctor ilvfe, and where they will stay for a day or two- The writer was kindly remembered by them, in being made tbe reolplent of a box of splendid cake, Ave different kinds.

D., delivered In! ; Yorkvilie recently, a speech from the pulpit j I which the linqulrcr denominates a "powerful sermon," on the evils of drinking whiskey and the sin of the dispensary. i ne learuea divine muses h Kreai iuv 01 classical quotations, and It would eeem, makes a nice exhibit of his literary wares But all his quotations are not worth as much as t? few words, like these: "Mothers, do you kuow that you plant the seeds of Inebriety In your infants when you feed them diluted liquor from a teaspoon ? Do you kuow that the giving of medicine is ruinous to the health of the child, and that great evils follow paiagoric?" A simple warning like this would have been more effective and worth more than stacks of classical allusions. If parents wero ur^ed to train their children to total abstinence, the act would be more effective for sobriety than a volume of either abuse or misrepresentation of the dispensary. The learned divine reminds us of the as. tronomer who knew all about the stars, but rtliln't Irnmv hnw tn n!?nl nntntnpq in the flrar den. Intemperance is at our very doors, and, presumably, people who come in contact wllh it every day should know more about preventing It.or curing It, than the aucleotrt or the classical scholar who never saw a dispensary, or never entered a bar-room. If the mothers, who henrd tho learned divine expose his lack of information on the whiskey traffic, had beou ur?ed t* retrain from phjsiclng their tufants wllh liquor from a spoon, and had in after years tried to impress upon them the necessity of teuchiu^ their children total abstinence, much good would have been done. The learned divine goes too far when he presumes to state the grounds unou which the dispensary Is supported. lie exposes his lack of Information when he talks of the liquor traffic, as one which can be so easily controlled. That Issue has engaeed the attention of the widest, the best and the most patriotic men of the past Bges. It has also engaged the attention of a vast number of men who would make money out of it, or who would have the drinking places kept open. Up to this time, the situation has resolved itself Into this: 1. As far as we know, all the governments, Federal, State and Municipal, have outlawed the traffic In liquor. The government assumes control of U, by placing it under "police regulation." 2. Under the inter State commerce law in this country, there is no such thing as prohibiting the entraace of whiskey iuto any community, 11 it be shipped for private line. A man may order daily for bis own use a pint or a quart, or a barrel of liquor from a | neighboring State, ana be as secure in ua shipment and possession as if he had ordered a barrel ol flour or a barrel of su^ar?a pouud of coffee, or a quart of molasses. In the broad sense there can be no such thine as "prohibition." In a limited sense, ihere may be prohibition of the sale in any particular locality, but liquor cannot be lawfully excluded lrom any part of the State. The sale In a town may be prohibited, but the Inhabitants thereof may order It at will. The Press and B inner fully agrees with ull that any man could say of the evils resulting from the abuse of liquor. It wastes estate, destroys health, ruins men, women and children, both morally and physically, It brings dtgradltlon, unhapplness and suffering, and finally sickness and death. The whole train of evils follow In the wake of the drink habit, and every good man should do all In his power to stop the use of liquor lu all its forms. It is the unclean thing, which no man can handle with safety, butu venomous arraignment of the saloon men, aud Ignorance of the dispensary will do no good. And the man who does not recognize the difference between a bar-room and the dls. peusary is incompetent to pass judgment on the diflerent manner of dealing with liquor. From a moral standpoint, ho may be perfectly competent to warn the people against the use of liquor, but he Is totally lacking In the Information which would enable him to lustruct anybody, or to be effective for good In discussing the laws. The dispensary is fixed In the Constitution, and wisely to'o. Nothing short of a twothirds vote in the Legislature can change it, and that change could not be effective until two-thirds of the people had ratified the act at. the next regular election. The dispensary is largely governed by law, while latitude Is given, or taken by those who are entrusted with its administration. If the Liquor Commissioners have discretion, why not appeal to tbem lor abatement of particular nuisances as far as possible. The pious divine must know that wild abuse ol the dispensary is not the best way to correct the evils incident either to the enforcement of the law or in the use intoxicating liquors. SALE DAY, ?.
