Sensible Letter.
Th? lottpr of Rav. Tj-r S. Caldwell in last
week's issue of the A. R. Presbyterian ie
cloar and tu the point. "Every man who
is able to preach ought to be given work."
Nobody con gainsay that.
"As a matter of fact an Idle minister,
one that is idle because he has found no
place to preach, is very likely to stand i.i
the way of answer to prayer for mor<'
ministers." Can anybody dispute
In a long editorial the Presbyterian
shows "another side of the question,"
throwing, as it seems to us, all the blarnt'
on the congregations. Among other
nice things which the Presbyterian says,
is this:
"The evil lies In the fastidiousness 01
congregations and the weakness of presbyteries
in humoring this fastidiousness."
Does not such expression as the above
excite the indignation of every self-respectlng
member of the Associate Reformed
church?
If congregations and preachers do not
suit each other, why does not the home
board look into the matter and, by its
friendly offices, seek to bring about a
better understanding, if there has been
misundesstanding. If there has been
differences why not make effort at reconciliation?
IT, after that, the congregation
is not satisfied, then the proper thing for
the preacher to do is to step down and out.
Hehas no rieht to sit as an incubus on
k , any congregation, and the board has nc
right to expect members to lower their
. selfrespect. The church is the people's,
v not the preacher's.
If we have read the Presbyterian aright,
It seems to us that that paper magnifies
the Importance of the preacher and minifies
the Importance of the congregation.
We would do exactly tf^e reverse. The
preacher may be of less importance to the
congregation than the least pretentious
. man In1 it. The preacher usually lives ofl
the congregation, and is of less Importance
to the upbuilding of the congregation
than any man who gives $20 a year to the
pastor's salary or the same amount for
other purposes. The congregation need
respectful treatment more than they need
to be bossed. It would be presumptive
\ in presbyteries to try to show their
strength by bully-ragging the people. The
people, presumably, are a part of the
-'a A fthnmh
t- The Synod or the hierarchy, Is too
E ' autocratic. Presumably the church is
, democratic. Members of the church are
too nearly Ignored by those In authority,
except when It comes to taxation. For
Instance: What right-thinking member
| of the church can help from entertaining
ft feeling of more or lessv resentment at
the action of the hierarchy In sending a
missionary to India, without referring to
. ; the people so important a matter and so
large an expenditure of money at a time
Vhen little home mission churches are
nearly taxed to death? If the Presbyterian
is at all interested in home mission
churches and we suppose It Is for taxation
purposes, at least, that paper might very
/ well ask if the home board, In distributing

If they are not distributing poison, is it
not distributing money with a great
recklessness?
Reverential.
The letter of Dr. Neill E. Pressly in the
last week's issue of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian, because of its reverence, is
truly refreshing. Although he has been
a minister of the gospel for many years,
and although lie is a D. D., the Doctor in
his letter to the Presbyterian last week
was just as reverential as the most pious
layman could have been.
Except for the profanity or the irreverent
use of the name of the holy One, as
copied from the United Presbyterian, the
wtaftfa lannA n f fka iac/utldla T? n
iOOl "WML o lOOUU VI 1>UU iXOiTWiabV AWTformed
Presbyterian was a pleasant issue,
a model, exceptionally free from the
vulgar or the profane use of the Name.
If the A. K. Presbyterian would continue
to teach us to be reverential, as it
did last week, there would be no use x>t
asking the Theological Seminaries of the
country to take up with their students
the necessity of that personal culture and
that intellectual refinement which would
so veneer even the nature of the coarsest
student that that he might pass anywhere
not only as a christian but as a
gentleman.
If preachers and religious newspapers
set us an example of profanity or irreverence,
what may we ultimately expect of
laymen? ,
Rev Charles M Boyd.
This distinguished divine of the Anderson
A. B. P. C., has been called to a Presby
terian church in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Ihe
Second Presbytery Ib called to meet at
Due West, on Thursday evening June 30th,
to consider a request from him for a letter
of dismissal from the Presbytery. Mr.
Boyd is one of the ablest and as well as
one of the best beloved of pastors, and
his presence In the Presbyterian church at
Tuscaloasa will be an acquisition, even as
his absence from Synod will be a loss to
that body.
For the reason that it 6eeins hard to
keep some of the ablest preachers within
the communion of the church, it would
appear that greater effort should be made
to so strengthen A. R. P. congregations
that they may pay better salaries, and
it would seem that the church should not
be weighted down or handicapf>ed by
opposition to hymns. There are many
sins which are worse than the singing of
hymns.
Persecution of The Wrong Persons.
It seems that good women of Greenville
Would put all blame for Immorality on
weak sisters, and would expel them from
the city. If the good and pious women
would exclude from their presence, or
otherwise punish the men who associate
with them, good might result. As a rule
men take the initiative, and again, women
seldom do harm unaided or unled?
Don't forget that the ladies of the Seceder
church will serve cream on the lawn
at W. P. Greene's Thursday afternoon at
six o'clock.

The candidates for State officers ar?i now
speaking to the people in the low country.
It is said that candidates for Governor are
chary of declaring themselves on the subject
of State-wide prohibition. AVhile this
newspaper believes that the people are in
favor of prohibition, yet we believe their
sense of justice and that good government
do not approve of forcing prohibition on
any community that does not want it. We
believe now in home rule, oven as wo did
in 1876. On the subject of dispensary or
prohibition men's minds may cliangc. For
instance: When the election for dispen
sary or no dispensary was had in AbbeI
fKio onriKn r?r\for? fur thft rilQnAri cia rv
TIUU liUlO OVilW TVWVW ?v? v*iv vaiv|'v*<wu> j
' Since the dispensary has been clo3ed, we
see good, results in sobriety, and not the
demoralization and free iiquor that we expected
to see. With the law enforced in1
calculable good will result to any people
who want prohibition and we hope to see
1 it enforced to the letter. We would suggest,
as the penalty for violation of the law
is so great that the sentence may be suspended
during good behavior.
1 It is hoped that no candidate may feel
called upon to attack the character or the
, official conduct of any other candidate.
Let us have peace and let us have no mud
slinging. Each candidate should depend
upon his own merits, and not rely on the
faults of the other man.
Just now it seems that the people want a
fair and an honorable race.
W T. Jones, Wife Slayer.
. W. T. Jones, of Union, who was convictt
ed of the crime of killing his wife, is still
( fighting the life sentence. He appealed to
, Judge Gruber at Union last week for a
new trial, which appeal was denied. He
. now goes to the Supreme Court.
I
Judge Dantzler.
At a meeting in Orangeburg everybody
paid a good tribute to the dead Judge, and
, each speaker had a big I in his remarks.
Rev. James P. Pressly, recently of More'
land. Ga., has accepted the call to the AR.
P. Church at Due West, which call was
recently tendered to him. Being: a man of
piety and ability he will no doubt make a
most acceptable pastor.
The colored Knights of Pythias are
building a nice brick lodge hall near the
Southern depot, below where the Poplar
Grove School house stands. Gus Downs is
the contractor, and he is doing a good job.
In CharlestonMr.
W. W. Bradley is in Charleston, and
Mr. W. R. Bradley is away, and so you
need not charge to them any sins of
omission or commission in this week's
Press and Banner.
The Summerville Advertiser thinks the
prohibition candidates are trying to ride
the trick mule of the circus, and that
paper further suggests that the animal
may unload at no distant day.
Congress adjourned on Saturday night,

he will accept.
The Anderson Mail last Sunday published
tho best and the most sensible
editorial sermon that we have seen anywhere.
One-Third of the Soulh's Graves are
Unnecessary.
Fully one-third of those sick and of
those taken to our cemeteries every year
were sick and died of diseases which
ought never to have occurred.
About one out of every ton of our deaths
are from consumption, and we now have
a large tubercular population. Even yet
it is believed by many good people that
this is an inherited disease, but all should
be made to know that If both parents died
of it at the worst, only the kind of constitution
is transmitted which makes the
child especially liable if exposed to the
disease. If all the expectorated matter and
other inlections discharges fiom every case
now in the State could be collected and destroyed,
as our health officials and physicians
are earnestly trying to have done
until all those now sick of it either recover
or die, and proper attention could be given
to open-air exercise, ventilation and tubercular
cows, there need never be another
case of consumption here unless it be
an imported one.
We nave a large sick and death rate
from typhoid fever every year. This is
not only a preventable, but the most typical
of the filth diseases. No one can have
it except Dy getting into uie iuuulh sumothing
from the kidneys and bowels of some
one who has had the disease. This is not a
nice thing to think or talk about, but it is
so much worse to do it, that nice people
ought to think, talk, and plan against it
until they stop doing it. The germs usually
get to the mouth in infected water. In
small towns and country districts they are
often carried by the ordinary housefly.
We have a large sick and death rate from
diphtheria, dysentery, scarlet fever, measles,
and other like diseases, to say nothing
of the cruel slaughter of babies every
year from d; seaset. due to the use of dirty
or adulterated milk. These diseases one
and all, are a disgrace to our civilzation.
With clean, healthy living, personal, domestic,
municipal, arid national, they
could be so effaced that they would have
only historic interest. It would cost less
to do this each year than it does to treat
and nurse the sick ai.d bury the dead,
not to speak of the pain, sorrow and loss
of life which would be prevented.

Report on Cotton Crop.
In summarizing its initial reports of the
cotton crop of 1910, the Times-Democrat
says today. r
"The reports indicate a favorable though J'
somewhat late ?tarb throughout the major
portion of the bolt. Much replanting f
was found necessary. 'Weather extremes I
form the basis of most of the complaints.
"An appreciable incroaso ig acreage is
ronoi ted from the states west of the
Mississippi river. " j
"As a rule, the lields are ciean and j
well worked.
"Boll weevils have appeared in the seetions
infested last year, where crop diver- [
sification has been resorted to moro than ;
ever before. Thus far the plant seems to
be free of other insect pests. .
"The labor supply is ample in most sec- L
tjons, but complaints of scarcity in this a
resjiect come from others."
