The Press and Banner. By W, W. and W, R, Bradley, HUGH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. c ^-Published every Wednesdp ??. S2 a year Id advance. Wednesday, Aug. 3, 1904. Kev. Stokes who delivered the anniversary sermon before the Bible Society last week recited the wonderful effect resulting in a foreign land from a single copy of the Holy Scriptures which fell into the hands of a stranger to our religion. The story was a beautilul one for innocent Sunday School scholars, but for old reprobates who do not shut their eyes, open their mouths and swallow all that is thrown into their facial cavity, the historical fact was tafeen with a degree ol allowance for defective memory or a lack ol authentic Information on the subject. Let no one misunderstand. The sermon proper was an able one, and bore unmistakable evidence of care and labor In Its preparation. The story of bow one copy of the Bible for which the shopkeeper had bartered goods, bad converted the merchant and bow he had established a church by thr time the missionary had returned, is the matter of which we are speaking. These wonderful stories of conversion always come from foreign lands where the peo I o lr r* rv tp hut lift 1a r\f no anr lonornoaro nr nil f religion. We might distribute Bibles with a liberal hand In our land of Bibles, but the effect would be scarcely dlscernable as compared with the wonderful stories. What we need Is evidence of the faith within us. If we read our Bibles, attend church regularly, ahd pray loud and long in public, of what avail is It If we do not exemplify the Christian graces in our dally life and conver* sation ? What are we to think of the men who pray loud and long If they refuse to obey tbe plain teachings of tbe word.ln their dealings with their fellow men. We were not Informed If the hero in tbe learned divine's story had abandoned hiB evil ways and was now exemplifying tbe beauties of tbe religion which the wisest and the best of our own people must study for years at a Theological Seminary. Did this heathen become possessed Of a knowledge of tbe merit* of our religion by inspiration? When we know that we cannot change our religion as we change our coats, and when we remember that If a man renounces bis religion there necessarily follows a season oi :y : . doubt or Infidelity before he can embrace h new religion, we always take those wonderful stories of converted heathens with a large grain of salt. It is all well enough to send Bibles to the heathen, but we should look well to lit teachings ourselves.while placing It in the hands of others. HOX. WYATT AIKEN'S SPEECH. Tbe WlllmlDgton News has tbe Following to Say of Mr. Aiken'tt Speech at Andez-Mon Elswhere In tbls Issue will be found tbe speech of Hon. Wyatt Aiken, member ot Congress from thlB district, delivered at the campaign meeting at Anderson last Wednesday. It Is refreshing In these days of buncombe and unintelligible oratory to find such a clear-cut and succinct statemnet of differences in principle and policy, differentiating tbe two great polltioal parties of ttls country. Mr. Alkeu gives Id a plain and modest way an account of tbe thlDgs tbat be has accomplished and tbe efforts made to accomplish other things, and tne great difficulty in the face of an over whelming majority in Congress and tbei: aversion to doing anything specifically for tbe South. This stralgbiforward, manly account of bis stewardship shows tbat tbe people of tbe Third district made no mistake in sending Mr. Aiken to Congress and will make no mistake in returning bim, where hehasalready estableshed an Influence and acquainted himself with the methods of federal legislation But perhaps tbe strongest and most promising part of this masterly speech consists Id showing the speaker's grasp of tbe principles and policies of tbe two great parties, pointing out the evils and dangers oi tbe one and tbe conservatism and beneficence of tbe other; and this is done, too, in language tbat tbe ordinary layman can understand. His diction is modest, chaste and plain. There is nc muddy stream of ill-favored vulgarity, do volcanic eruption of sulphureous profanity such as modern politicians vainly attempt toadorn their political harangues with but In plain, good English words punctuated with Just enough apt anecdotes to make tbe points most impressive aDd lasting. Mr. Aiken's familiarity with the manipulation of tbe machinery and location ol tbe live wires In Congress gives promise of oue ol tbe most uieful members of tbe national legit lature for several decades, besides bis magnetic personality gives added weight to his weildirected and ably supported efforts in behalf of bis constltutents. He understands tbat he Is tbe servant of tbe people aDd be is glviDg them the very bestservice in his power. aDd be bas shown tbat bis ability is great and equal to the best. Tbe beauty and strength of tbe speech lies j n its candor and simplicity ; its brilliancy is in the accuracy of statement of fact. TROY, Troy S. C., August 3rd, 1904. Rev. R. F.

William W. Murphy, a locomotive engineer on the Burlington's fast express between Hannibal and 8t. Joseph has been making observations on tlie speed of various birds and insects. Many birds, he says, make a practice of flying beside or in front of his engine, and when the weather is clear and there is no wind he opens the throttle and races with them. He finds that a chicken hawk and a crow can make twenty-five miles an hour. A turkey buzzard flies at the rate of twenty-one miles an hour. The pigeon is one of the fastest birds in the United states. It makes a speed of miles an hour with ease. When chased by an eagle it can beat the Burlington's St. Louis express. The wild duck is traveling at the rate of forty.four miles an hour while the hunter is pumping the contents of a repeating guu at it. The blackbird, robin, dove and other small birds travel at a speed of thiry eight miles an hour. The humming bird can, and does, excel a speed of a mile per minute. Murphy says that a honey bee, tin? other day. Hew in ai (I out of his cab window while he was going at the rate of sixty three miles an hour.
