Knows of the Abbeville Congregation. Members of the Abbeville congregation of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church are glad to see that the church paper knows f their existence. The following paragraph is pleasant in connection with the thought tnat tne cnurcn paper hks ub cjc u^uu uaThe Presbyterian of last week said: "Communion services were held in our Abbeville cburcb last Sabbath. The congregation recently elected the following officers: elders. W. R. Bradley and Alfred Lyon ; deaoons, J. F. Bradley a*id Dr. J. R. Nickels." In itself tbe paragraph is of no special importance, except that in it members are furnished evidence of recognition. The Press and Banner is authorized to speak for nobody. Its talk now. as ever. Is solely on its own account. And we wish it distinctly understood that so far as we are lnformed.no fault has been found with our ably conducted obnroh paper, which, from our view point, is , about a6 much ol a religious newspaper as it 13 of a church paper. As a religious newspaper, the Presbyterian nils the bill. As a ohurch newspaper we have feared that it did not know of the existence of the Abbeville congregation. Our congregation is more inI terested in a church paper than it is In a religions newspaper. The members of this congregation thirst for church news generally and newB of its own efforts especially is al - ways welcome. For instance: Their pastor^the Rev. E. B. Kennedy, came bere less than a year agoHis coming revived the enthusiasm and zeal of the members. In nowhere was it more manifest than in their punctual attendance !/-* upon divine worship, and in their contributions in money for cburob purposes. Id eo previous year had the "old Btandbys" given as liberally to the pastor's salary and contributed as generously for the matbrlal thiDgB which are necessary to make the service inviting and interesting. When PreRbytery met oar people churned and killed all their chickens. They turned our homes over to the delegates, and gave them the church and the city for an inheritance as loog os they v were with us. But the church paper hadn't beard of It, and of course other congregations In the church doesn't know of us at all. The [Abbeville congregation were prompted by good and generous Impulses. They bad no thought of reward ; but when it was a '1 over, mention of this congregation by the church paper would have been grateful to them and possibly interesting to others. The above quoted paragraph from the Presbyterian is pleasing for tbe reason that we know tbeohurob paper bas found us out. A . ohnrob paper that gives the news of tbe ir> chureb.and editorials on church affairs, fills the cravings of the average heart. We admit that bomeopatbio doses of religion are good In their way. And they sometimes serve a mlgbty good purpose. They are no donbt eagerly devoured by people in Texas who need them and are short on religion. And then, again, there is a class of people > who never know when they bave enough of any thing. Take for instance: Our good aud ; pious Brother Bigbam of tbe Chester Lantern. He no doubt lies awake at nlgbt watching for Wednesday's paper to come. When it comes he looks for the religious paragraphs from early morn to dewey eve, and in tbe succeeding nlgbt be delights to meditate on them. But, In Abbeville, for instance, we can take . In on 8unday morning and on Sunday evening all tbe religion that we need, or all that we can digest, in rare instances, however, <^and In cases of necessity, we can get our piety reinforced at the Wednesday evening prayer meeting, where our religion, our faith, and ear good Intention may be strengthened and revived. But all?saints and sinners, lay ; Y men and chief high priests In the church? m"- are as one In their hunger and thirst for church news. They are always anxious to hear what other churchmen are doing, and then on rare occasions, our people are *lad for the oharch paper to let others know what we are doing. SA religious newspaper 1b good, but a church paper 18 great. For the sake of reprobates In Texas, we think It well for the church paper to yield considerable space to condensed religion. Texans are presumed to have religion In a slight degree but in so mild a form that It doe* not eveu extend far into Mexico. They need to have their noses held while "the old time religion" is poured down, but the church people do not waul to give up all apace to religion. They want church newssuch as the different members, the different congregations, the diflerent Presbyteries, and the Synod can furnish. ; , - Interesting Case. The Press and Banner publishes the text of Judge R. E. Hill's decree in the matter of tbe estate of T. L. Haddon. The decree Is Interesting because nice points of law are involved, and because of tbe seeming correctt ness of tbe decision. Tbere are more interesting questions about wills and the winding upof estates than in any otter division of tbe law. While tbls is true, it seems tbat 6 - our old men are more careless in tbe writing of tbeir wills than in any otber of their business acts. Chicago has bad a bad time In ibe exposition of tbe tilth ana corruption of ber stockyards and canning business But, as far at we have seen, no effort bas been made to abolish tbe stock yards. Simple people who allow others to do their thinking might favor tbls plan, if somebody would propose it. It Is great to be saved the trouble of thinking. Wouldn't it be something if tbe preachers I and tbe temperance men should succeed In restoring tbe barrooms ? Without the aid of their allies, the preachers and the prohibitionists, the liquor element could have no hope of restoring the barrooms in this Slate. ' Preachers, dram drinkers, whiskey sots and prohibitionists marching In Udo to the polls to vote iu tbe bars would make an impressive picture. I f ? BANKER AND CONGRESSMAN Both are as Straight as h Shingta and Both are as Sound as a Dollar. Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Barnwell, and their grandchildren, went to Washington several days ago and have returned. They went to see their Bon-in-law, Hon. Wyatt Atken, our immediate Representative In Congress. Mr. Barnwall, as everybody knows, Is one of tbe best bankers as well as one of tbe most correct bookkeepers lo be found In all these parts. He deals so pleasantly with customers at the bank, that debtors love to pay tbelr debts. His son-in-law, Hon. Wyatt Aiken, iiko bis lamented father, is faithful and efli dentin tbe discbarge of the important iruot which tbe people have reposed iu him. The people honor Wyatt Aiken, and the humblest, as well as tbe greatest of his constituents feel as if they bad a friend In him. And the fact Is, that Wyatt Aiken has a friend in them.

There ie enough corruption and graft brought to llcht to make all honest men shudder. South Carolina's l?ir name Is worth far more than what Is derived lrom the sale of whiskey. The coming primary should decide the fate of the machine. Men should he sent to the House of Representatives and the Senate who will wipe the state corrupting machine out and restore South Carolina to her lormer proud position.?Blacksburg Chronicle. No, no; neighbor. It isn't time forthedlspeusary to go. But it Is time for the corruption of that institution to go. There was a time when it was believed thai there was great corruption In the Legislature and in the Stateollices. The ofHces and th< Leglsture didn't go. but there was a change o Legislators and otlioers, and the corruptlor went with them. There was a time when there was a Republican printing company in Columbia. It wai believed to be corrupt. UDder a reform ad ministration, the corruption went, but the priming business sum goes on in uoiumoia. Not so long ago, there was a great cry o corruption In one or more county offices li Greenville. We have heard uothing aboui abolishing any oflce In Greenville, but th< then existing corruption 16 not now In evl dence. No; the time for temperance people to Joli hands with tbe barroom advocates to breal up the dispensary lias not yet come. The Press and Banner consents to all thi charges tha* nave been made or can be madi against the dispensary. This paper bellevei that ooe-hiilf of the Bins of liquor-selling hai not been told. The selllug of liquor in an] form Is destructive of public morals and lnju rioue to private character. The dispensary ii bad Inderd. But one barroom is ten times ns had as i dispensary. The hitjh 1 cenee barroom system 1b tet times as t??d hs theordlaary license. Will high liceuse would come bars that were kep by rich mho, when poor men would be dealer the rlglr. to compete with them In business Rich men with power, would ft;el loss scrupli about '-doctoring'' the liquor or la extortini high prices, or In dlscb yitig ihe Isnr. Barrooms as we had them In Jornrer time were tbe last to oloie at night and the fl.-st ti open Id tbe morning. Tbe back doors of bar rooms were not always closed on Sunday. Yes; the dispensary Is bad. very bad. Wi all know that, and nobody denies It. But it thirteen years boys have grown to be men some of wbom were never in a barroom The advocates of tbe bars can with trutl point to the evils of the dispensary. An< tbere is no denying those evils. But In tell lng of the evils of the dispensary, the ten-foU more wicked business of tbe bars, is kept Iz the back ground. Our boys ought to be taught habits of tem perance, if n t of total abstinence. There li no telling what calamity may come upon thi people. When temperance men go into th< liquor camp, ns some have done, aiding thi enemies of tbe dispensary in their efforts t< restore the barrooms tbe country is not safi from a flood of debauchery and demoraliza tlon. If our memory is not at fault, bar keeper thought before tbe war tbat tbe Ideal way o managing me hu.il* oj uquur was uj u>(> license. That was some fort}' or fifty year ago, when preachers, church people gener ally, and temperance men everywhere, wen figating for prohibition. No man of that da: ever dreamed, or ever thought that any re spectable preacher or any honest temperanci man would join the barroom advocates it their efforts to open high licensed bars. The dispensary gives us prohibition fron sunset to sunrise, and if our dispensary bai ever been opened on Sunday we never kne? of it, or have forgotten the fact. If temper ance men are sincere in their declarations tbeir conduct in going into tbe liquor cam] Is not understood. It is the first time that wi ever knew temperance men to abandon thel feliows to go Into tbe liquor camp. And thi strange thing to us is, that they manifest n< sense of their inconsistency, or tbeir lack o failure to make tbeir actions square wltl their words. We are not Informed as to tbe true posltloi of tbe Blacksburg Chronicle. But Its utter ance would lead us to believe that it advo cates the doing away of the dispensary in or der to restore the bars?high licenced bars a that.

A short trip to the busy city of Anderson i a wholesome experience for those who do no realize how a town can grow by reason o forces set In motion by Its own citizens. With cotton mills, banks, street rallwayi and hundreds ol like interests Anderson pre sents a picture of thrift and Industry that li suggestive of the possibilities of this and otb er places, once the movement lsstarted. Anderson like Abbeville was lor manj years on a branch line of road and today she has no important railroad.

Some two or three weekw ago we made men tion of the fact that the Herald and News had printed a memorial edition, th? unveil- X fng of the Confederate monument being the occasion. , And now comes the Observer with a College si , edition, the occasion being the fiftieth anni- F versary of the Newberry College. It Is full of y \ interesting Information and worthy to be w i priuted In a book. j Oue Important fuel which the Observer for- ol I got to putin the College edition Is, thai this b I editor lived In Newberry the year that the h College was founded. 1856. That was the only $ ' year that we spent away from home, and the recollection of our career as printer and cltlzen of Newberry affords this editor much ^ pleasure. We attended the Associate Re5 formed Presbyterian Sunday school. Prof. cl ' William Hood taught school In Newberry ei ' that year and both being from Due West, we w 1 cultivated a friendship which still continues. ^ Except, we believe, Judge James M. Carson, t< ' now of Texas, all the men of Newberry In t< 3 1S56 have crossed the River. But the college a " which was born that year lives and prospers > to bltss mankind. ? ? ? li d , Mr. I,yon for Aitnriipy-tieiiernl. t Hon. J.
