The Press and Banner. By W. W, and W. R. Bradley, HUGH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C. l .e^-Publlshed every Wednesdp at 82 a year in advance. Wednesday, Sept. 28,1904. The People Need ?? Kent. Far belt from us to be unappreciative of the noble Impulse which would build a Monument to the Confederate soldier. We would not under any consideration hurt anybody's feelings in their well meant and patriotic efforts. What we say is impersonal and refers to ttie methods which have been presented in the name of the Confederate soldier. The moving spirit has been generally kept in the background, while good and unsuspecting home people may have been the victim of circumstances. It is useless to try to enumerate the number of instances where our people have contributed money for entertainments on account of the monument. If our Deonle want a raonumpnf. thuv ars abundantly able to pay for It, without the constant worry and trouble entailed upon our good people to so little pourpose. It seems that strolling showmen, anappreolated orators and shrewd managersol little nondescript entertainments have found out the suitability of this people. They proceed to make speeches or to give exhibitions ostensibly for the benefit of the Confederate monument. The Daughters of the Confederacy are too often called upon to pay the expense and our people are too often asked to furnish the money. One half of the proceeds some times go to t.he Daughters, out of whose half the expense must be paid. It Is unnecesary to say that the peripatetic manager, speaker, or other boss of the business, generally carries away the lion's share of the profits. The town council, as a rule, charge for exhlhlt Inno fnr nrnfif Whllo ft trnnl/1 >? Ko right to charge our own people a license, or exact a fee for the use of the Court House when strangers proceed to Induce our people to advertise their shows the license fee might very properly be exacted. At various times since the establishment of our High School the pupils of that school, to the neglect of their books, have taken part 'n these exercises. In this Instance the diversion has been unfortunate. The children have been kept at the various recitations In the afternoon when lessons should have been studied, and at night they have been detained In the Court House to an hour long after the little ones should have been in bed. It is further unfortunate that such exercises as we had last night should have been during the first days of the scholastic year. The children had just finished a three months vacation and they should not have bad their attention diverted from their studies during the first days of the session. Even If It were right and proper to invite school children to take part in suoh Irrelevant proceedings, the partiality In choosing a few from the many may be impolitic. We do not know If the teachers In the graded school were consulted in this matter. If parents allowed their children to engage In the stage performance without consulting the teachers, then the teachers may have reason to think that they were not accorded proper consideration. If the teachers con sented to such dissipation on the part of their scholars, tffen It Is possible that they erred. Don't misunderstand us. We have no objection to these exhibitions. We mean no flort of fl 1 UTPK nt-oT tn tholr manoffora nr t r\ anv " ?.w.vwr?vv .V V* kv ?"J body else, bat we do objeot to engaging school children as show people when they ought to be at study, or snugly tucked away In bed. We have no objection to a Confederate Monument, In the language 0/ another: "Let It rise, till It meets the sun In Its coming; let the earliest light of the morning gild It, and parting day linger and play upon Its summit." Butlnonrown language, may we not ask for a rest.on the Confederate Monument? The people are tired. The bravest soldiers on earth have slept for forty years without the monument, and wg think that they would be willing to wait until the end of this scholastic term. And then Just to think how gratefal the grandchildren of the old soldiers would be if they oould feel assured of a rest tmtil school 1b out. It would be summer time then, and all could run away to the mountains to spend the vacation. "Bat One Slue to Thin Controversy." The Florence Times. Messenger tells Indisputable facts In the following paragraph. "A discussion Is being stirred up .n Georgfa over the proper attitude of the churches to run away marriages, whether a minister should marry a runaway couple or not. It strikes U6 that there could be but one side to this controversy. After young folks have run away tbe best plan is to marry them to each other. The duty of the church Is to keep them from running away." It is hard to see how a greater wrong could be perpetrated against a woman than to refuse to unite her to the man who seek s her hand in that marriage whicll is honorable in all men. Tbe humblest and tbe lowliest have the right to enter the holy estate of matrimony, and It Is a high handed measure for any man in Georgia to assume to deny this right to those who seek honorable marriage. If the Scriptures recognize the right ol children to leave father and mother to or ganize a new family, shall a Georgia preacher presume to refuse the marriage ceremony because Qf fear or lack of couragf to do his duty? The church In.Georgia like other people should be goverened by reason, justice and common sense. Who shall assume such autocratic powers as would deny to any one the God given right to marriage? Who shall dare to impute Improper motives to those who express the desire to live in accord with His holy ordinances? Even in rare or extreme cases, where wrong may have been previously done, who shall be so cruel, sc unjust and so wicked as to disallow the err lDg ones me privilege 01 writing uieir wruugv Is it Christ like to do so? We bold that it It not. Shall the preachers In Georgia holding the highest and most respouslble position in the church set his seal of condemnation on anj who may seek the noblest ol all associations! We have no record of any Instance where our Savior denied his blessing to those wbc sought his sustaining grace. Shall mere man then In the State of Georgia send anybody to perdition, or refuse to them the privilege of llvlDg after God's ordinance? Refusals of marriage, like the marriage license, and the divorce laws, are all against tbe woman. Preachers In South Carolina act upon Christlon principle, and are guided by common sense. They neither assume the roll of accuser nor do they cast a shadow over anybody because of a desire to enter the bolj estate of matrimony. The State of South Carolina unlike the State of Georgia, puts no bar to matrimony All who chose to do so, may enter the marriage contract, and'any recognition of the contract makes it legal. In South Carolina no divorce is granted foi any reason. Having no marriage license laws where al may enter and where, when once taken, none may be freed from the marriage vows. Oui people are happier In their home life than are people who may be separated and hemes broken up. There is no spot of ground on all the face of this earth where woman is so carefullj guarded and so well protected as she is It South Carolina. o I I ?
