Back From Hit Summer Vacation. Mr. U. A. VisansRa, and his daughter Mies Belle Vleaoeka, are home again, after a month's rest. They went to Mt. Clemens, some 22 miles from Detroit, ana mere uycui most of their time. When coming home they stopped at ClDClDoatU, and among other trips, they went on the Incline railroad to the Walnut Hills. They stopped at Chattanooga and went up incline railroad to the top of Lookout Mountain. When this editor moved around Chattanooga, he went on the people's line, afoot. But Mr. Vlsanska and Miss Belle went up tbe Incline railroad whloh he says Is so straight up that It leans over a little. When It leaned over Mr. Vlsanska held tc tbe seat. In case the thing had broken loose he expected to be torn to pleceB and thought tbe Inquest would have to be held In several different townships. On top ot tbe mountain Mr. Vlsanska and MIrb Belle saw theS 100,000 monument to the l'Dion dead,and they looked over the precipice aDd saw tbe winding Tennessee wblch bathed tbe foot of the mountain, end along which' great trains ol cars moved as If tney were toys. Mr. VIBanska was not so much struck with tba Lookout. He had seen other mountains. He 1b Improved In health, and we hope that so public spirited a citizen may live a hundred years yet to come. # I # Turn CnnH Rnvc > "V -??? ?j -Masters Alfred Pressly and Robert Pressly, of Atlanta, are visiting their aunts, the Misses Cater. They are brothers and as good boys as could be found In tbe great city ol Atlanta. They were born Associate Reformed Presbyterians, but since tbe church moved from their neighborhood, they go to another cburoh which Is on Lnckle Street. These young boys who we may reasonably expect to become men will In after years prove their manhood by becoming men among men, if not Go vernors of Georgia. Robert is tbe older of the brothers, 14 years, and Alfred Is ten years old. Both go to tbe great sobools in Atlanta, and before the vacation each en gaged a Job for the time that the sobool would be stopped. They save tbelr money by putting it In banks, and this early habltof economy will make them rich in this world'* goods, even if they do not become United States Senators. These boys saved enough to bear tbe expense of a trip to see their kin folk. They have looked at our town, and when atked bow tbey liked tbe court bouse, Robert said It was a very nice little bouse. Mr. Gambrell at Home. Mr. George C. Gambrell, as good a man aF ever set a type, or filled an office on a railroad, is in town again at bis old borne. Mr. Ga xnbrell is now Btation agent of tbe Southern at King's Mountain, and express agent at tbe same plaoe. Mr, Gambrell has been at King's Mountain for two years, where be bas bad much work to do, and to which work be does not object, and lurtber, be does not object to tbe handsome salary that oomes alter a little hard work. The mo6t sorrowful thing that bas come to blm wan the loss of hie good wire aoom inree weeks ago. She left a youDg babe which Mr Gambrell has brought to Abbeville, where It will be in charge of as good a woman as ever lived, Mrs. Claude C. Gambrell, wife of Dr. Gambrell, Tbe two older children will also be well cared for. Mr. Gambrell will be with his friends for a week or more before he returns to King'* Mountain to take up his work In that city. ?\ ? For Senator. Various newspapers are boosting E. D. Smith for United States Senator, and some of them urge as his fitness for tbe place, hie ability to speak, tils readiness to speak Is our chief objection to him. If be goes up to tbe Senate and proceeds to speak be will kill any possible Influence he mlgbt otherwise have. What good has ever come of Tillman's eveilastlDg and unceasing speakiio' fc" P fjnrw kant his mouth ihntand. co-operating with our live Congressman did more for Abbeville than was done for ut In Washington for a hundred years. Either Smltb or Evans might do us some good, If he did not speak. A South Caro.lna speaker In the U. S, Senate glvea us the horrors. BACK FROM GEORGIA. Samuel Erwin, a Native of Abbeville, a Stranger at Home. Mr. Samuel Erwln, formerly of Abbeville county, S. C., Is now a clllzen of Elbert conn ty, Georgia. He moved away from Abbeville about thirty years ago. He left his home some two weeks ago to visit relatives In this county, and U now stopping with hitnephew Mr. Joseph Erwln at the cotton mill He says that be hardly recognizes the town and that be has met few men witn wnom ne is acquainted. The places of tbe people whom be knew thirty years ago, are now filled by others whom be does not know. He reoognized only four men that he knew, namely: W. W. Edwards, L. H. Russell, R. E, Hill, and tbe editor of the Press and Banner. When we saw him he expected to go home on Tuesday evening. He lives od Route No. 4 from Elberton. "The New House Promises to be a Strong1 Body." That Is what Mr. Hoy t says of the Leglsla> ture which has Just been elected. The hlgb average of tbe ability of the members of tbe Legislature seems to Indicate to blm that the next General Assembly may do good work for the people. The "high average" ability is a lion in the path, and will likely obstruct or lower tbe standard of the Legislation. Better Legislation Is secured when tbe mass of the members are weafc jaen?bo weak that they realize their weakness In the presence of giants. Half dozen strong men with a hundred weak men to do tbe voting, accomplish much better results, than ooutd a hundred men, a large per cent, of whom might think they posf>esBed the qualification for leaders. When every man thinks himself a leader nothing will be accomplished. What Does This Mean? In tbe Press and Banner mail came a ticket with all tbe names of candidates printed In regular form, except one, which was printed in black type. We do not know who printed It or who sent it, but presume the black type was meant to show the voter wblob name to scratch. Id publishing the expense accounts of the various candidates we failed to notice any record of quarters lent. Seneca stock and poultry food at C. A. Milprd <* Co. THE ELECTRIC PLANT. A Ttie City now in Charge with S. M. Orr, Superintendent. Tbe Committee to assess tbe value of tbe plant and to name thejprlce wblcb tbe city w should pay for it, constated of Messrs. Fred jj, Min*uaii, w. in. mggs, u w. oayre. rt.ii.ci ie examining the plant oarefully, the commit- k tee Agreed that 8.S.128.61 would be a fair price gi for the complete outfit, including the stock or ei material now on hand. In addition to thlB k amount, the stipulated prloe of ${.300 la to (be d paid for the unexpired lease, making a total h of 811,628.61. b: Mr. S. M. Orr Is the new Superintendent, a and he has entered upon the duties of his of- c< fic9. Ue handed In the following schedule, b of charges for water and light, wnlch charges d will be satisfactory to (the people, according tl to the Bervlce rendered. d SCHEDULE. ? The City Counoll has adopted the following rates, which Is now In effeot: b F WATER SERVICE. 25,010 gallons, per month per 1000 gals 20 Over 25,000 gallons per month per 1000 gals. .15 f \j\iy io iuruiuu t&ii meiere.

P. per a montb. 1< To all bills unpaid by tbe 10th of each montb a penalty of 10 per cent must be added. If not paid by the 20tb service must be out S off. Before turning on again a fee of 81 00 for v each service with arrears tiiuut be colleoled. The 8obedule is a straightforward, clear-cut a statement and wll( be acceptable to all. Tbe prices are so reasonable that a greater number of people will use both tbe water and the lights. We are informed by tbe Superintendent tbat tbe (Water and Eleotrlc Plant will keep a striot account of Its business wbloh will be entirely separate to lttelf from tbe other bus- 1 loess of the town. The city will be charged r for whatever water or electricity It may use, just an other customers will be charged. And the plant will keep 1U own accounts and pay all it* running expenses, including Interest on tbe bonds which were issued lor its purchase. By this method the people 8 will know definitely how the plant stands. { | a ( c Mission Work. \ Dr. W. A. Hunter, Elder in tbe.Bethla con- ' gregation, was a delegate to tbe South Carolina Presbytery which met at Smyrna Cburcb in Newberry Ipt Tuesday Sept., 1st. Dr. HuQter reportB that tbe proposition to divide tbe Pres by tery did not prevail, or that ( action on that matter was postponed. * Dr. Hunter says that there is an effort to ( enter actively on the work of Home MIssIodb. 1 It is contemplated that tbe Presbytery will publish a paper In the Interest of mill people especially and of all others who may avail themselves of Its beneficial Influence. Tbe committee will employ a female worker to go into tbe field to teach, to narse. and to otherwise exercise kindly offices for such per sons as may need her servloes, and over wbomBbe may exercise a wholesome rellg lous Influence. Her work Is to be parely one of Christian philanthropy. Tbe members of that Committee are: Rev. W. H. Fraserof tbe First bburoh of Anderson; Rev. Lander and Elder Anderson of tbe Central Cburcb of Anderson; Elder W. A. Hunter of Bethia Cburcb In Abbeville Coun. i ty. f Dr. Hunter Is an enlboslastlo church work- t er, and being a practical man himself, be pro- t poeee that practical methods shall govern Id tbe good work upon which it la now proposed to enter. Dr. Hunter took a Bible course In tbe Mount Hebron Moody Sebool, In New York last summer, and is well prepared to aid to E tbe proposed work In whloh the South Caro- * Una Presbytery contemplates engaging. The reader will not forget that laymeD have often been the most suooessful workers. They work without pay, and their zeal Is more effeotlve than when tbe work Is done i perfunctorily for pay and without zeal. I The Christian Churches generally need tbe d services of a greater number of zealous layworkers. It seems that regular oold blooded Christlans too often excuse themselves for lack ol , warmth and energy In working for home ( missions, by saying; "Oh, these people at ^ home can come to church, If they want to do g so. We are sending to foreign fields to meD g who haven't heard of our Saviour." We have heard expressions similar to the , above ao often that we expect nothing bat t tbe [stereotyped excuse for lack or work ( among our own people wbo are so near to as tbat they are In easy reaob of tbe life line. | So to speck, tbey prefer to try to tbrow it to t tbose In mid ocean and beyond their reaob. In the olty of Abbeville tbere are perbapa 2,500 white people. Of this number It Is fair to estimate that not over600 attend religious 8 service at oar churohes SunJay morning. J And this Is a city of chnrohes. Besides one 8 Catholic Church, there are Ave Protestant Churches. With all these Protectant Churches open j every Sunday morning tbere must be be- f tween 1500 and.2,000 absentees from morning service. For this unnatural condition there must bea cause. This la alChrlstlan oommu- t nlty and little or no effort Is mad* to bring ( people Into tbe sanctuary. Tbe preaoblng f and tbe prayers are tbere and we aot as If; It ( was no fault of ours, If oar aelgbbors stay away. We are not our brothers keeper, although our Saviour oommanded his dlsolples to go Into the highways and compel tbe peo 1 pie to come. ' la the first place, the ohuroh Is more or less 1 a soolal organlzatfon, and as far as It Is neces- c sary church people should welcome those I who may be timid about coming. There are c many boys, girls, men and women too who * seldom go to assemblies or gatherings. But they would be glad to go if they received proper greeting and If tbe men and the worn- ? ea of tbe ohurcb would feel and express pleas- j ure at their coming. ( If they were made welcome and If the prea- ( member them In bis prayers and If be would ask a blessing for tbem, more or our people would attend services. If tbere Is a poor t boy or a poor girl la tbe town who lacks r clothes which are good enough, the watohrul otiurobman Bhould learn the ract, when the neoessary money could be raised. li Let not half hearted Christians sneer at the b idea of bringing poor people?poor men and d poor woman?poor boys and poor girls?Into e the church. It will be only a rew years until some of these same unnoticed poor boys will baoome a power In tbe olty and their fellowship would be at least a part of the strength of the churcb. 71 The Inexcusable neglect which is ex- Ic Hlh'tort In npclorttlncx th? nanrtlA nt nnr nurn rt doors while pretending to be ao anxious al about tbe soula of people In foreign lands In 11 too apparent to need explanation. All who P bave eyes can see It, and none need deny the w fact In evadlug duty to home people. 3 One tenth of tbe labor, talk, and money that 1b now expended on foreign missions P would make this Indeed a Christian commu- tt nlty. It's all over now. Dead beats who want to a borrow a quarter must wait for two years for another chance. ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE. Dignified Professor Jumps High and Sits Down Hard?Ambulance Hauls Him Home. Von nil bnnw the gtorv about Ibe brothers bo founded the city of Rome. When one . adbuilta wall the other to show b 1 a con* impt for It, Jumped over It, when bis brother li:ed him. Proffetsor Orler at Due West, to low that the new wire fence wblcb Is to acloee tbe Ertklne campus was a little too >w Jumped over It one day last week. He Idn't get killed but the neighbors bad to Ire an ambulance to haul amlgbty good man ack home. The Professor can Jump high Irlgbt. The only difficulty with him is in amlng down. He like the people who sal1 Igblnthenew air ships, sometimes comes own with a dangerous momentum. When 36 Professor Jumps again be will no doubt oasdo the acrobats In the show*; have a ood place tlied on which to fall. The Profssor broke no bones, but he Is nursing a raised knee. Ail are glad that the popular rofessor was not more seriously hurt. tesult of Second Primary in Abbeville County. Tbe second primary brought out a much alter vote tban did tbe first, a ratber unusual blng. Tbe totr "ote polled was about 2,300 wblcb 3 a larger vote for aseoortd primary. A full vote was not polled at all the preInota. Lo wndeHvlllc did not poll Its strength wing to tbe river being Impassible. The race for House In Abbeville was hotly ontested. The result places Ashley In, with second race to be run over between Captain Tickles and Dr. P. B. Carwlle. For Treasurer, the race between Chalmers nd Bradley resulted In the election of Braday by about 410 votes. For Supervisor the race was also close, tevenson Is eleoted by a majority of 172 otes. Tbe race for Coroner stands 1,188 for Bowte, gainst 1,108 for Link. Keep the Election Above Suspicion. We notice tbat tlokets other than those urnlsbed by tbe proper authorities were dl6rlbuted before tbe election, wblcb dlstrlbulon Is Bald to be violative of tbe Democratic ales. We need to keep oar elections free from tbe ~ *? 1 ? JooKno nnj *?a KOIIAOO that aim UI U li la IE UCailUg, auu no vei.v.u * he rules of tbe party should be strlotly adtered to.

Returned from Delightful Trip Abroad. Miss Marie Gary, who bas been sight seeing n England, Franoe, Germany, Italy and otb>r interesting plaoes in Europe, returned to ier home last week. She has been gone for ibout six months. Traveling bas agreed with Vltis Gary. She has been Invigorated physllally ana mentally, besides enjoying tbe edusational feature of such a trip. We Regret the Oversight. The Press and Banner by an oversight netected to pat Mr. M. G. Donald's name In tbe >aper among the candidates. It is hoped be voters did not negleot to pul his name n lhe box yesterday. Protracted Meeting. Rev.

He needn't pot np lightning rods { o his house. He Is a good churchman, too. Last Monday was Labor Day. The Judge ;ave Court Stenographer Aull holiday. The urors had nothing to do. But they did have ometblng to do on yesterday. They voted, i Mr. C. L. Nlckles was In town, taking an nterest in theeleotlon of Evans beoause he ( avored the holding of the Philippines. The cotton orop in Means Chapel neighbor- 1 jood Is not as good as It was last year. The j lotion on sandy land seems to be taking the . ed rust, and the bottom oorn has been flood- ' id. The upland oorn Is very good. Mr. Alex Dick, as good a boy rb ever set a ype or kicked a press, has bought a type vrlter and he will hereafter when not makng the type click, make the keys of his maihlnd click at the touch ot the keys. If we { lve long enough we expect to see good things B lome to Alex Olck. Jf they know a good boy c vhen they see him, they will oome. A cow belonging to Mr. Cal Coleman In the lelgbborhood of Means Chapel was killed by lghtnlng on Friday night. The poplar tree } n Mr. Coleman's front yard was badly splln- r ered at the same time. 8 H g Who Is responsible for the low price of cot- ], on? We all know who Is responsible for Its a lse. c 8 Mr. J. H. Oulla, of the Anderson Job Print- J g Office, was In town last Saturday to see j its wife and baby.
