Tbeeditorof tbe Press and Banner went to Honea Path last Friday afternoon on a visit to bis nepbew and nelces, Wister Blgby , Joel Bigby, and tbeir sisters. Leaving Abbevillb at 2.15, we arrived at Hodges at 2.40. On tbe tialn f rr <rg cibtr* 1 were Airs Calhoun going to Greenville to see her daughters and Miss Annie Baker going ou a visit to tbe Misses Blgby, and Mrs. Evans, of SeDeca retarniDg home alter spend- i lng a while with kindred in Abbeville 1 , County. i When tbe train stopped at tbe station at Hodges all tbe passengers left tbe coacb and we learned tbat tbe train on tbe main line was not due for five minutes. It was not thought necessary to go to tbe waiting room tor tbat tbort time. In a little wblie bowever we learned tbat tbat tbe train would be i fifty-five minutes late. After taking seats in ' the waiting room, we learned of a wrecked , freight train near Ninety Six and were tola that the passenger train would not arrive tor J several hours. At Hodges It was estimated by some ol those who live there, that the receipts of ' cotton at that place would be short 1,000 bales | . 1 and tbls shortage would materially affect collections and sales. Mr.J . W. Moore of Greenwood came on i the platform, and the crops were not forgotten. Be said tbat be "would be out" one thousand dollars lor the pleasure of owning tract of land on the Saluda. The crop bad suffered Irom excessive rains. Mr. Moore If probate judge of Greenwood County and be Is a man In every way worthy of the high offioe wblch be holds. At nine o'clock tbe long looked for tralD arrived. It did not tarry bnt moved cff as * soon as passengers oould scramble up tbe < steps. Dr. Mao Glympb, formerly of Hodges but , \ now of Anderson, was a passenger and recognized tbe editor and made himself known. ' He Is looking well and seems to be prosperous. On board was his wlfesnd their three year old daughter, soe seemeu iu ue iumeited Id the editor, and be felt complimented at her attention. Her father eald that she bad asked him what the editor bad on hi* i bead. In explanation be said bis little daughter was not used to seeing silk bats. ( We were delighted to meet onr friend and i former pastor, the Rev. T. W. Sloan, who was on the train, going home In Greenville He bad been to New York, and bad been i preaching in some of the fashionable Si'!-. ohnrcbes ol that city. ; Miss Ora Blgby went down to Klrkpay on X Saturday morning, to take charge ol a J P school In that neighborhood. , Tbe Southern Railway Is enlarging the i station at Honea Fatb, making an attractive ' and oonvenlent building for freight and ] passengers. SDKfRliODS. J If tbe Associate Reformed Synod, which , meets on tbe 15th Instant, were to ask tbe edl. < tor of this paper for suggestions, be would , propose tbat the Mexican mission be put In ( charge ol tbe native Mexican preachers now In tbe pay of nynod. Along tbe Bame line, he J h., v would order tbe return of all of our preacher* ] doctors, orpnanagtm, uieuivi wiki? ?u. Mbool teachers, and give eacb of them work at borne among our own people He would require the Mexican missions\ rles to make report of tbelr actings and doing* lncladlng definite and specific statement ac to the expenditure of our money. Tbe peo- 1 pie a re entitled to that much. In case report 1 bould not be bad be would stop tbe sending of money to Mexico, even to tbe cutting off oJ A'the native beneficiaries. He would ^require reports showing tbe labor ' performed by missionaries, accomdanled by j definite statements without evasion as to re < gVv suits. \ ] vj; ' - He would suggest that all tbe mission oburcbes be treated wltb tbe same consideration 1 viihnnt thnninr HDecial or notable favor to { t' nyr' He would urge the propriety of better aalariea for preachers. He would ceaie to farm oat of the Female College, and,would lake obarge of It even an Synod now takes charge of Ersklne. He would raise the salaries of the teachers In the oolleges at Due West. The same editor would suggest?bat praotleal effort bt> made to asoertaln the oauie, and m remedy for the slow growth of the church, and then be would suggest that Syuod mak<> Immediate preparation lor applying the remedy. He would urge the better equipment and the endowment of the Due West Female College. He would cbange the name of that college for two reaaons : First, It Is a church Idstltutlon and not a local sohool. Second there Is no sex In school or college. As well say a female beef market or a female store. He would appoint a citizen of Due West treasurer of the endowment fund of Ersklne B INJIlCgQ. Finally, he would suggest that tbe most able bodied man Id tbe Synod be armed wltb a base ball bat wltb Instruction to hit any man on tbe bead who proposed to offer suggestions to tbe Synod. ( -? Apology. S-' n The editor of the Press and Banner makes {J due and profound apology to tbe author of t the nice piece which appeared last week in this paper In reference to Mr. Brltt and ? his family. It was written by a friend II who Is familiar wltb tbe lacts and which ? >-'* ' , c piece, from its lack, of signature. It would c seem that we bad'appropriated It as onr c own. It Is due to say that tbe piece waB writ, j1 ten by a correspondent, and in JtAce to blm t should have been credited as a ^ tribulioD tnthmiA columns. " m m I V Tbe Laundry. ? .Neither Mr. Norwood nor the people are F forgetting tbe necessity for a laundry at Ab- t [v ' bevllle. . d Mr. Norwood bas tbe establishment of a jj laundry lu mlnJ,and as soon as bis ioe plant |< la Installed be will glveattentlon to tbe laun- C Ldry, or else Invite others to go on with It. ^ Astook company or Individuals will see g *" - tbat a laundry Is established In case Mr. Nor- I) v wood declines to go Into tbe business In conneotlon with bis other enterprises. o li a Has Our PermlSHlon to Write Re- b E c The Edgefield Chronicle wants to write five b hundred receipts for subscriptions before the ? 15th Instant.
