Last Weudesduy afternoon March 10, about /our o'clock, the Are bell, whose home Is now on top oi the opera house, observed the shingle roof of the old Miller hotel to be on fire and immediately by Its long tongue began to give the alarm. The best tire oompany on earth responded In tbe shortest, sort ol time. Almost in no time streams of water were directed to the spot where their concentrated efforts would do the most good. The various remarks of the flre-bell and the great volume of smoke which arose from the burning rooi drew to the scene from all parts of the city a great multitude of Interested or excited peo-| pie of every line from snowy white to sootysome of tbe prettiest samples of tbe best women that tbe sunlight ever fell upon were there. Little children came, too, to see the show. The pretty women were so much admired that they more than equally divided the attention with tbe fire and tbe smoke, tbe water and tbe steam. In rural towns like this pretty women patronize all interestt log shows, and a pyrotechnic show is always of Interest to everybody hereabout. For more than an hour tbe devouring element contended with tbe watery element for the mastery over t|be Miller hotel. For a time it was thopght that tbe Are had tbe best of tbe fire oompany, but.^y the flrel company's persistent effort, it came ofl vlcto> rlous, and the remains of tbe hotel may be still seen from tbe street. Tbe greater part 01 the shingles were destroyed, and some of tbe rafters gwere either burnt or badly charred. Tbe floors up-stalrs and down-stairs were saved, while tbe studding ef the walls is Intact. Some mighty good people generally be* ot o nnnnfrv firp. come more or icro cavu?v. ?. ?, and their generous promptings are seen In their earnest and vigorous efforts to savt property. For Instance: A man knocked out a corner post that held up the two-stoo plazxa. Another man came along with a pol> axe and knocked down another post. Tin third post was being vigorously attacked with an axe, when a bystander with coolei bead and less excitement, oalled attention tc the fact that be was In danger of knocking the piazza down wben he would kill himself. The cast Iron coal grates were brought out and carefully landed on the sidewalk. A curious looking piece of crockery whlcb teemed to us like a flower vase?but wblcb bad no flowers In 11?was carefully dropped over the balusiers or the piazza to the sldt walk. And then began the work of taking Qut the window sash and knocking down tb* doors. Some of the doors and some of ihf glass in the sash were successfully placed in * * *1 4 ?Hrl nnf Qtzroif Baiely, dui laai iiimj ui oaicijr u all of such articles. One old gentleman who bad seen many a Are suggested tbat th? chimneys and plllart might be saved. A suggestion was also madt to the effect tbat the well conld be saved and retailed ont for post holes for garden fencer. The stick palings on tbe lower floor were Baved by knocking them over on tbe sidewalk. The Miller hotel bas been a land-mark In this town for many years. Tbe new part of It?the L and the storeroom?was built before the war, where, we believe Its builder, Wm, Hughey, retailed liquids of a fiery natare to guests at his hotel,and to others, when called pon to relieve tbe demands of the situation. Tbe main part of tbe hotel has been there for a time to whlcn tbe memory of man runnetb not to tbe contrary. Tbe Miller hotel baB been, for a greater or a less time, abandoned as a hotel, and more recently rooms have been rented In It for various purposes. Wben it was determined to tear down tbe old court bouse two years ago, tbe county officers were furnished quarters in this building, and it bas been only about five months since tbe offices were moved into tbe new bnlldtng. It ie said tbat rats are taught by Instinct, to leave a Binklng sblp. Bccause of fear of fire there was anxiety to get the public property out ol tbe old hotel. Tbe owners of tbe stock of merchandise, becauseot the dread of fire, moved out a short time ago. Tbe colored lodge moved out about a week before tbe fire. When tbe fire broke out the building was occupied cbitfly by colored people who furnished meals and lodging to customers. Besides tbem, tbe pressing club bad quarters there, and we have heard It said, we know not by whom, tbat tbe Are originated in that quarter. While we have no definite information on the subject, yet It seems to us, tbat there is a notable fatality to bouses occupied by pressing clubs. The Are of the Glenn-Ethel hotel, we believe originated in tbe neighborhood of tbe pressing olub which then had quarters in tbe wooden part of tbe building. A part of tbe Miller hotel bad been standing perbapB for seventy-Ave or eighty years. Tbe regretable part of this story is, tbat Mr. Lamar Cllnkscales who owns the property, bad no. Insurance on It. We understand ibat tbe timbers of tbe building, that were not destroyed, will be used by Mr. Cllfikscales in building tenant bouses on his plantation. And so It Is, we shall see the last of tbe old Miller hotel in Abbeville. At one time It was thought tbat Mr. Russell's stable was in daDger. Tbe Are was close enough to Mr, Eakln's dwelling on the east yslde of the burning building to make It interesting to him and his family. Beauty on Horseback. For a time some of the prettiest girls Id town have been giving exhibitions of the most graceful horseback riding that we have ever had In Abbeville. The bad weather on last Sunday kept pretty gfrls and quickstepping horses out of review, but on the previous Sunday we bear that the rldlDg Club was out In force. We missed the sight. If anybody knows of a more beautiful, or a more graceful vision than pretty girls riding splendid horses, let him please direct our eye? In that direction. Do you know of anything more lovely or H)ore entrancing than beautiful women riding horses that are proud ot tueir beauuiui burden? Ana we wouldn't have you think that horseback riding Is limited to Sunday?. Suob Is not tbe case. We love to see the horseback riding any day or every day ,'n the week. The sight being so much better, and Is so much prettier than anything tbat wo can see elsewhere, an old baobelor always loels like falling down right there and then, to worship tbe goddesses that hold the r=Ins. Births On last Thursday, March 11, the stork visited the home of Mi. Lewis Ramey of this city, presenting him with a fine boy. On Monday, tbe 1Mb, the same renowDed bird paid a call at the home of Mr. Harney's brother Mr. S. L. Ramey, presenting him also wltb h cpleiiUld scion, genus homo. Abbeville wants no ?20,1-00 t-hack to be used as a school bouse, but Abbey llle does need a school bouse which Is as good as the city ball. Including lot, sewerage, lighting, water, furniture and heating, Abbeville should not be satisfied wltb less than a ?50,000 or SCO,000 school bcjjUse. A preacher out In Ohio said no one could say at what hour death would come. A woman in tbe congregation died Immediately. h \ A Mighty Good Woman Making an Investment i Mrs. \V. P. Greene, Dot bo long ago, adver-1 Used in the Medium Ibat she was willing to 1( lake charge of a young cair or two. Sne has ^ had, perhaps, scores of orphan calvea offered .to her for her calf asylum which asylum Is c located In Fort Pickens, where burr clover In winter and burmuda grass In summer are G& presumed to make glad the eye of infant bovlnes. Mrs. Greene Is young In the cattle raising ^ industry, and if she bad conferred with this editor, and If she bad profited by bis experience, the probability Is that her asylum for orphan cattle would never have been opened. She can make more money and realize more pleasure, at less trouble, by Investing ber money in an Easter bat and other things suitable for the celebration of that Important festival Id the Christian calendar. When this editor was a llltle younger tban he is now he conceived the idea that tbere was great profit In cattle raising. For this 0 reason he started out to make a small lor- w tune In the cattle business on Norris Creek. With this end in view be bought in one Fall ""inn nf no11ip of n.11 sorts and of at pObSIUiy UV W. ? ? all strains of blood. He bad (be best cane w brake In tbe neighborhood, he had, too, the finest grass and the leanest bushes In all the world. Miles of barbed wire fencing made It safe that the cattle could be kept at home. Tbe cattle which he bought and put In hla enclosure knew what canebrakes, green grass and leafy bushes were good for, and they being a little hungry and having nothing else to do, in a little while so changed the face of that pasture with its waving grass and swaying oaue, that it was hardly reoognlzable as the hitherto Inviting pasture. The hills looked as If they had been lathered and shaved, the bottoms were as clean as tbe big Dl road, tbe bushes had disappeared, and tbe D' canebrake was stripped and a sight to bebold. ^ The cattle at first stripped tbe leaves from 04 the canes as high as tbey could reach. As dl the Winter progressed tbey learned either to 8? climb or to pull down the canes until there was not a leaf left in the thlckeatand best w canebrake that ever greeted tbe eyd. That dl year's experience with the cattle left not a w single cane. They were all killed by tbe constant picking of tbe cattle. Every bush was bare of leaves long before the Winter weather P< set in. rJ Next spring, with the cane and tbe bushes hl all killed, and grass nowhere to be found, we became a little discouraged. One fifth of the | cattle bad died. We sold tbe reBt. On M going to the oil mill to? settle tbe;bill for bulls and meal, we felt as though we w would gladly have given every hoof on tbe j| place to settle that account. We had lost ai about all that we bad paid for tbe cattle. We BF expected to realize at least one thousand dol- at tars of clear profit, and bad set aside a good D) trade In which to invest the money. Ten dollars a head profit was not an unreasona- V( ble expectation. We would now stand a law ^ suit rather than go into the cattle business m again. If, therefore, any reader of the Press a, and Banner knows of this editor re-entering 0t he business of keeping an orphan asylum for Innocent little calves or opening a bos- ac pltal for one-eyed, one-horned, or tailless tt cattle let him please telegraph us at onr ex* IV pense. p< We simply lost all that we pat Into oar first venture. And we shill hereafter bay all the w cattle that we may need for Immediate use, p( but no more cattle asylums for as. th w Church Attendance w bi Our friend. Mr, W. O. Sturkey, who, we believe, has a sort or leaning toward prohibition In this County has an interesting little h( communication In the McCormlck Messenger, which we oopy. r ^ Mr. Sturkey's piece Is all right, and.abows ~{a ap beautllully the church-going proclivities of that town. Read It. The main thing ( which Is wrong in the good brother's artlole Is his conclusions or inferences. The facta, jj( would correct the Inferences of Mr. Sturkey. )b The dispensary, as far as we have been informed, has not been discussed, certainly In ^ the most numerously attended church In town. Dr. Wilson of the Presbyterian church esobews politics. He pr- aches temperanoe, ^ righteousness and Judgment. He has done - . so at Abbeville for nearly a quarter of a oen- ^ tury, and the per cent of attendance upon . his servloes exceeds the attendance at any , other churoh. _ Br. Wilson has been with us for a much longer time than has any other pastor in town. Taators of other congregations come and go, but Dr. Wilson stays with us forever. The Methodist chnrcb here has one of the best congregations in the Conference. They are devout worshippers and liberal payers ? It Is the pioneer churoh organization In tbo 1 town of Abbeville, and Its influence for good is not to be measured in words. It Is one of 0 the strongholds of Methodism. In 1826 Rev. re James Moore and bis wife songbt to build the first cburoh in Abbeville, and they were successtul. Everybody in town worshipped then with the Methodists. As the town grew other churches sprang into existence. * Tha Fniannnol fthnrnh U7?u an nff-ahftnf nf the Methodist cburcb. l'hp congregation la not large, but we believe the per oent of attendanoe, membership considered, Is the ?' highest of any other ohuroh. The attendance tc on Sunday morning being nearly, 11 not a> quite equal, to the number of communicants. w Next came the organization of the Baptist er church, with Rev. R. N. Pratt as the pro- ve moter and organizer. Jacob Miller and Mrs, lE QuarleB were pillars of ihe ohuroh at its or- ar ganizatlon. fo The last congregation to be organized at jj1 Abbeville was the Assoolate Reformed ohurch. The roll of Ub membership runs up, as reported Id the Minutes of Synod to 84. The average aotual attendance at this church, ^ as published In the Press and Banner is 58. And It will be notloed that in those churches which esobew polltlos, the largest per ceDt of membership is found on Sunday mornlogin the pews of the holy temple. We do w not pretend to say that the attendance upon 81 religious services has any relevancy to poll- to tics, but the faot Is merely noted, so that the 'e reader may draw his own conclusion, espeel ally if politicians and preachers ex- a* ohange pulpits. a' P> ga Old Printers.

' We learn\tbat an antl-Abbevllle meeting as held one night last week at McCormlck. , . be announced subject of tbe meeting was " itl-dlspensary, but It developed tbat the eakers bad more to say against Abbeville id tbe dispensary than against the drunken- \\ 3ss and tlpllng bablt. The Georgia prohibition was held up as tbe jry aome In promoting sobriety and exillenoe of department. Prohibition makes en In Georgia treat tbelr animals better, id tbat makes men love tbelr wives and ? llldren better. One good and extra pious brother was not irprlsed tbat tbe Press and Banner was for ie dispensary and as a reasen for bis nonirprlse said tbe editor of tbat paper was op- I >sed to foreign missions. Another man who was almost too good to alk tbta terrestrial ball as long as tbe dlsmsary existed Is reported to have stated lat the court house and city ball were built lib liquor profits. It was also said bv some one that Abbeville ould later on tear down her new publlo illdlngs to build finer ones, If tbe dlspensa' was not closed. In this zeal for temperance and In tbls boly jrrorof dispensary profits It has been sugisted privately If notapub)ioly tbat tbe a ukteesoftbe McCormlok school might rese their pro rata share of tbe dispensary oflts. One mighty good man who la regarded aa rfectly sincere, la reported to have said, It i was living at Abbeville be wonld favor ? e dispensary. Wblle tbe Press and Bonner wonld not A targe any speakers with Intentionally mis- fl presenting the faota, yet we think a public eaker should Inform himself before attemptg to enlighten the people npon a subject of Si aich he 1b totally Ignorant, and whose itements are not only untrue, but are mlsidlng. rhe Press and Banner would set tbe people _ i their guard against misleading statements ?l public speakers whose zeal may prompt em to manufacture or to imagine their Dts, without themselves having real knowi> ge of what they are talking about. First?Any sort of certificates can be had aa tbe eflects of Oeorgla prohibition. Tbe esB and Banner regards reoords of tbe olty urts as perhape more reliable than any ber. They cannot be satisfactory to any al prohibitionist, aud no prohibitionist lotes recent records. 3eoond?The good brother who said that Ji] e Press and Banner was opposed to foreign isslons was not surprised that this paper ^ vored tbe dispensary. If the good brother C( id been careful to tell tbe wbole truth, Just i It is. be could have truthfully said that tbe liter of thia newspaper la opposed to tbe spreaRloa of little borne mission oharobea i support the barren, futile and vlalon y efforts of missionaries sent to a people bo are totally unable to support a preach, even If every one of tbem was oon. irted. This editor is opposed to crush; ig borne mission churches to auataln i impractical and vlslouary scheme in a reign land. Tbe good brother had no arguent to sustain tbe relevancy between tbe spensary and tbe opposition to orusblng >me missions. Third?As far as we are Informed, not one )llar of dispensary money has gone into the alldlngofthe new oourt bouse. If the good rotber who made that assertion had taken ie tsouble to read the law and to ascertain ie facts, as pnblisbed in this newspaper two eeks ago, be would not have made tbe atement. Tbe court bouse Is being paid r by taxation. Some 316,000 or 817,000 wda vied oa^ll the property of this county lor tat purpose last year. We are not Informed i to tbe amount of tax whiob the supply bill ; tbe recent Legislature imposes lor our Jblic buildings. Tbe profits of the dlspen.ry go: One-third to tbe town, one-third to tunty for roads and bridges and one-tblrd to ie schools. Bat tbe people are paying for ie court Loose by direct taxation. We take for granted that no preaoher in Abbeville tunty would knowingly misrepresent tbe nta am tn fho (llannnRnrv or anv Other CAUSe. or Ibe mason Ibat public speakers, and esidally preachers should enlighten the peoleand not deceive them, they should aa>rtaln frets, and not niake public statements son which the people may not depend, and hloh some of their bearers may know Is tntrary fo truth. Fourth?Ifany convert thinks the schools tould not have the dispensary money, he Is ght In saying so. Nobody will knowingly rce that money on anybody. There are .her people and other schools to which the spensary money may go. j This newspaper has jokingly referred to ie profits of the dispensary money going to iy for the court bouse, for the reason that so auy misinformed people persist In making e statement wbloh lacks faot for a foundann. it is not onr purpose, however, to let Jbllc speakers BBsert as a fact unchallenged atements which contain not one word of utb. If oor publlo speakers shall hereafter ter absolute and undeniable untruths as to S3 e court house we shall feel called upon to 11 attention to disreputable or reprehensl- * e methods. $ . 5 Ladies combs, barretts, eviry tidys, and other hair or- ar* laments at very low prices st< lere.
