Parmer Boys. Tdis Is ttae time of the year when we 6ee Id the newspapers lectures on the beauties of the farmer's life aDd the dangers of town life, to which Is added an unlimited amount of advice to the boys to stay on the farm. " t Joseph E. Brown of Georgia was a farmer boy. Ue said late in Ule, If he had stayed on the farm he might have lived hard and owned a lew hundred acres of land. As our people ... .. -a farm Hft WeDt know, De aian i siKj ul: mc Er- -} to town, became Governor of the State, and I talked big to Jeff Davis ilurlng the war. lie was United States Senator. For fortv yearn be waaa factor In all that interested Georgia. He died a millionaire. If a boy has nothing in him, except brawn and;slnew, he might stay on the farm, bat If he has the manhood, i ' the ability and the executive qualities he bad better go to a field of larger possibilities thau the farm. Town brought up boys do not always an||* swer the demand for men of mark. Take <" Abbeville, for instance: Since the foundation of tbe town, more than a hundred years ?ago, tbere have been many boys born within its limits. You can count on tbe fingers ol . - one band, the names of tbe town born boysi who are now factors In the affairs of the city. I '?- m<.r?Konl6 nf todav I Wltb lew excejjuuuo iUv ..... _ KV* are not native born citizens. The physicians L- t were not born here. None of the lawyers at Efc/'tbls bar were born In town. The two Judge* ' now living in the town were born elsewhere. The editors and owners of the printing office* fv moved to town alter reacblDg the years of maturiiy. Our cotton buyers came from the jr|p oountry, The president of the cotton mill u ' came from the country. The builders of the Irfrj furniture factory, with a Blngle exception, V were not natives of the town. None of the officers' in either of our three bank? were borjj In Abbeville. A majority of our teachers are ril:,') from otber seotlons. Our jewelers came to *"?, town after reaching the years of m&turlty and the age In which they might judge for themselves. Very few of the couniy officers JV;; were born In town, and Dor e of our preachers - were born amongst us. If all theBe men had been required to rejg.V^main on the farm, where would the town ol K . Abbeville be now ? What has become of the .town boys, any way ? Their places buve beeD t " taken by the country boys. Our town boys i-,;v Have gone abroad and have forged their way to the front* In other localities. Among the number we would mention : Lewis W. Parker of Greenville is a well known corton mill man. Thomas P. Cothran of Greenville stands high In the legal profession, and is gettiug rich. fW. C.

W.H. Parker is a lawyer and is a factor in I Charleston's affairs. ; J. 8. Perrin is getting rich practicing law, P { In Yazoo City, Mississippi. Tbomas Parker Is id officer on tbe Arkan-1 &S sas, one of tbe best fighting vessels afloat. < F. L.

W. (X Bradley years ago left Abbevi'le to ' f take an appointment in tbe Treasury under ! Baffi Cleveland. He is there still, and is riche' < now than when be was a lawyer in Abbeville. Joseph Wardlaw, years ago, left Abbeville I and Is now president of one of the Yorkvlllt < j^potton Mills. I Patterson Wardlaw Is a professor in tbe < aoain uiunu? vum6v. Yon may bave read in an old book tbat tbf \ Lord on a certain occasion, told Abram to f ' ptok himself up and go into a rar off country, which he would show him. If you bav? beard of the circumstance, you know ibe remalnder of the story. Tbe moral of tbat leeX'v ' son Is as good today as It was when given to the old Jew long ago. A rich Jew sends his sons out in the world to fight their own battles. And they generally turn out to be men. ' A rich Gentile keeps bis sons at home, to enJoy tbe social position and tbe money wbicb he has earned. 7/:" ? i > ? ? 4V Hereby. v' The Presbyterian General Assembly lu Greenville last week, bad tbe trial of a charge of heresy against Rev. Caldwell of Fort Worth, Texas. "Mr. Caldwell's belief is practically this: He doeR not accept tbe Mosaic authorship ol the Pentateuch. He does not believe In tin miraculous element In tbe Old Testament. He does not believe In the hls'orlc accuracy of the earlier chapters of Genesis. Lastly, be believes that Christ died for man, not as a pe rial substitute instead of man, but simply to' man." Ha was not questioned on tbe essentials ol salvation, nor was he examined on tbat purity of life the teaching of which Is the prl^ mary object of the Christian religion. By , ? one vote be wad sustained. If the Abbeville Literary Society had been before the General Assembly members of tbat organization might bave been excommunlvvh?n the subject of miracles was dls cu??ed, If there wa9 a man, except the essay- > 1st who believed In the miracles we have for- 1 gotten the exception. As far as we now recollect the members were of one mind on that i & "'I' subject. 1 The Kershaw Dinitcusury. 6*"" 1' 1 More or less noise has beeD raised because i y the State board of control has granted that part of the town of Kershaw, which lies in ' Lancaster, the privilege of establishing a dlspensary. The people of Kershaw bad voted the dlspensnry out of that county. Now. let the people of Lancaster vote it out?if they rf/v n?? want It. Nothing "vrong about that. It Is not true that the State board of control 1* forcing the dispensary on anybody. In granting the petition of Lancaster people, they wereoomplylng with their request. Not forcing anything on them. Only tbls, and nothing more. * _ i The Trl-StatfllOdd Fellow is a good paper, i published at Columbia, In the interests of Odd Fellows in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. Rev. W. B. .Sams, formerly I of Abbeville, is editor. Dr. S. F. Kiliiugr-worth, who lived with us for years. Is the bus* j lness manager. A better editor or a better tmsinesB manager would be hard to find. J. B. White, marshal of the town.of Honea ' ( v Path, was placed on trial at Anderson last weeic, charged with murder In the killing of jpfap Marlon Ashley. He was aoqultted. .-A, I? ilu' Divine Tall Lnckins; ? Tbe Bishops In their address at iSirmlDg-l mtiighuiu lamented the fact that few ynuua ! men wtreeuleriug tbe ministry. Ai the General Assembly hi Uietnvllle, Dr. H. L. Smitb, president of Davidson College, spoke tor nearly au hour on tbe scarcity of candidate* for (be ministry. He said that there were 3 12tf churches, and 728 of tbera were wlihout a supply ol Huy kind. The old belief was that men were dearly aud divinely called to preach the gospel. What Is the matter with the yot'ug.men ? Or has the divine call been withheld lu these latter days? Or Is there really * divine call extended to ministers with more clearness aud empbatda than comes lo men engaged in other professions aud ca lings? Is ibe pulpit less remunerative now than in former days? Is It not vlewtd mainly from tbe commercial standpoint? Wtieu meu enter tbe ministry they are UMialiy called up higher by tbe better sbIary. It Is very seldom that onestepBdowu from a thousand dollar church lo one paying five hundred dollars iu order that be might do greatei good to a more needy parish. We believe that other but>lue*s aud professions bold out more attractions to young men than the cburcb does; hence the scarcity ol caudldates lor tbe ministry. The useless multiplication of churches may accoun' In part for the laok of preachers. A sma 1 town springs up. There are peopleeuough loronecougregatlon. In a spirit ol rivalry, not very Christian, every denomination tnat has a dozen members in said town, will build a bouse of worship. The same condition prevails In som* of the mill towns. But 'bis question Is xtlil unanswered: "Are meu divinely called to the ministry wi.ti more poweraud emphasis than they are to the oltlce, the factory or the plow?" Referred to Rev. C. C. Brown and Lecturer Hugh Wllsou of Abbeville.?Carolina Spartan. "Lecturer Hugh Wilson," answering for himself, 6ays that the above Is so nearly correct, aud so nearly all there Is ol it, that be has little or nothing to add. Any Idea Ibal men are divinely called to the ministry mortthan to other callings of usefalness is the merest rot, which nobody believes and which nobody In seriousness would ask anybody else to believe. Young men who are born below the sphere in which they are ambitious to move, are governed by their Judgment as to their own best Interests?if they are true to themselves?not forgetting the ambition to be uselul. If they are ambitious to go Into a learned profession, and feel conscious of their lack of ability to practice law or to go Into srme of the secular literary pursuits, you will notice that they gravitate to tbe pulpit, some times claiming that the Lord called them especially into his service. There are of course many able men la the pulpit, and able men are needed there, but there are a great many of the other sort In the ministry. They 6erve a good purpose In filling places where men ol ability could not afford to go. There^are three great powers for good' namely: The press, the school, the pulpit' Where the personal standards are equal, they come In the order In which they are named. Supposing all to be equally able and equally good, the fleld of the press Is largest and It can and does accomplish more. The audience of the press Is larger than that of the pulpit. The words of the press are printed aud are more lasting than those of the preacher who too often speaks to listless ears. The teacher Is more closely associated with the young, while their minds are In the plastic state and when their hearts are more directly susceptible to good influences. The preacher has not quite the opportunity of reaching tbe people that Is vouchsafed to the press, which goes to all men and to all homes and to all places of ! business. The three, working together, are a great power for good which must be beneficially felt by all. JiiMiieeto 91r. Lyon, Because Oi rumore, uuu cnucuto m doing Id the management of tbe dispensary the Legislature felt called upoD to appoint an Investigating committee whose duty It should be to ascertain facts and report the Bame. [ In the matter of looking up evidence, subcommittees were appointed and one of these was composed of Messrs. Lyon aDd ChrlstlDson. They entered upon this delicate and disagreeable duty with no other object than that of serving the State faithfully and effi clently, while dealing fairly and impartially with the citizen. One of the most delicate and difficult ques- 1 tions that tbe committee has been called on ( to decide Is, where U the llDe of demarcation between a man's private character, which , should be unassailable, and his official acts for which be should be held accountable. ? The citizen and the officer may deffer as to tbe llDe of demarcation, and upon this differ- , ance of opinion troubles bave arisen. ^ In all that has been said and done the , sommittee should be given credit, throughjut the Slate, tor honesty and zeal In the Jlacharge of lie duty. It whs Id this spirit tbat the committee Idvited Senator Tlllmao to appear before It Sitting as a court of inquiry as well as a court ' 3f Judgment, It was but Justice to Senator rillman tbat he be asked to appear. At no / previous lime bad tbere been a legally cou itltuttd committee before whom facts about i Lbe dispensary during bis administration jould be made known. It was an opportunl- ' :y for Senator Tillman to place upoo record i :ne facts. * ResponsibilltieR for the investigation of Senator Tillman's connection with the dls- j )ensary rests not with the sub committee 4 >ut with;those would be traducers of the sye. em and of him in connection wltb it. Long before the members of the sub comnlttee entered public life, insinuations, if lot direct charges, were made through tbe tewspapers. It is safe to say tbat tbe mem. ^ >ers ol the committee did not believe tbem. } Jr. Lyon hlmsell did not, but in the spirit of aimers to Senator Tillman the opportunities ollered to brand slanderous lmputatloDs . or all time. It Is to be hoped that tbe malice J ?f his enemies will not go bebiDd the verdice if the committee toagaiD bring upithose stall ibarges, proven false. Mr. Lyon has been zealous In discharging 4 1?

Sr. Julian Yates, formerly of Charleston, writes to the Atlanta Georgian that it Is a very great mistake to suppose that the '"beet people In South Carolina are opposed to tbo dispensary law." He areues that at the pres- i en t time 1 he "best people" are engaged In a great undertaking to save tbe concern. Several newspapers In this state resent Mr. " Yates's Insinuation and are equally certain that "tbe best people" are arrayed on the other side of tbe question.?Spartanburg Journal. The talk of "the best people" la on a par wlttP"promlnent people" who dally commit crimes against the peace and good order of society. I The Legislature, or those who use- such ( terms, should define the meaning of the .1 words so that we may know who are "tbe C best people" and who are "prominent pec- 1 pie." I * rat* ihot *?M\a hpfit. npnole" T are those who think as we do. And that ( "prominent people" are prominent because of the crimes which they commit. 1 Dr. Torrey, evangelist. 1? conducting revival meetings in Atlanta, and Is attracting a large attendance upon his exercises. A great many have been "converted," some have been 1 "saved," while others have declared their "faith" in the Saviour. lly what method ot reasoning can it be said that a man who was born and brought up In a Christian home was "converted?" We do uot know what is meant by "saved" as long as a man is on this side of the Hlver. A man must be ignoraut and does not know the meaning of words, if he gels up and orolesses "conversion" and "belief," wheu nothing has hoi.n rirnKfnicd t-j change hIs religion or when no new facts are made kuowu upon Which to base a new "faith."
