A P>M>TEST.
From the many editorials is the 7'ms
/and Banner of -last work, -mv; to
lawlessness, .crucially in this and Laurens
county, one would think that tinpeople
of these two ?<miilics -wi-vo fi setof
cut-throats and dwiJMH'.j'.doos, ;rho dolighted
only in blood-she*} .rnd broils.
Against such senli-uiont^. iu> puvi^' 'jour-:
naliKts, devoted lo ;tfie interest# of the
State and especially of AbbeyiUe Courty,
wc desire or,inofit eai<uo.s<
protest.
We believe the editor of the Press
(ind limine?' H,o (be n sincere journalist,
but also believe that be bus either al.lowed
his prejudices, or his extreme
love for law and order to get the belter
of him. when he utters such sentiments
08 ure contained in the last issue of his
,paper.
The people of A$*iievi$e CJoiinly are
oh law abiding and as peaceable as any
4>eoplo on the face of the globe, lie
XHU8G, forsooth, one of its citizens, in
defense either of his life or his property,
is occasionally placed in such a position
that the taking of a human lift.',
X?ven if tho individual be colored,) is
jiecessary, jye are to -be branded as .desperadoes,
utterly regardless of the
j-ights.and j>ri..vile#{\s ,of others.
We protest too, against the general
arraignment on so gcrious a charge of
ftlii* juries of our County. If one or
j,wu juries have, in th.u infallible opin.
.ion of of the editor of tho J'resa and
Manner, failed to do their duty, is it
jight to arraign all of the citizens of b.Jjuville
County on a similar charge ?
. Tim sarcasm and ridicule of the J'rtms
mid Manner mav bo ?orfi?<;L hut if
,not carry that conviction which the
statement of factn and particular instances
would. Does the editor of the
Press and Banner Qiegn to suy the law
is never enforced in Abbeville County ?
Outsiders, who knoxrs not tho history
of our Count}' would infer such was
.the case, after reading his article. The
instances of capital punishment even
inflicted by Abbeville cowls and Abbeville
juries are tpo numerous und too
recent to warrant any such assertion.
.The Press and Jfan/ipr survly cunngt
think it is sustained in this njustitfablc
attack on the Jtest citizens of our County,
for thoy compose Jho juried, by their
general verdicts on questions Kiibjyjttod
for their determination. Have white
?r r> i - i
Uicu Ml uui UUUJII^ UVUJ1 t'DIl VIOJLCU Ol
no crime ? The records of tl;.e .cuurts
will not bear out .this assertion.
We are afr&i.d pyr friend of the P/'ts.S
and Manner wrote his eijituriuls, without
thinking serjoiisly of them, jijjd t*jt;
effect they would produce outside t},io
County. He certainly did noj. mean for
the citizens of Abbeville County to believe
thuin, for he must have known
that they know the facts do not bear
out his wholesale charges.
We protest. too, against the Press
and Banner arraigning our Jqdges and
Supierne Judges, on th? charge of n.<^
aiming in this lawlessness n Ji.eji in the
discharge of their solemn and sworn
duty.. A man commits no capital offence
when he defends his own life,
even to the death of his ossailant.
Hard indeed woujd that law he, which
compelled a man to lie in jail fi*
months. it may be, when perchance he
had been forced into the c*u)iiii*$ion ol
lho act, for which he-is confined, sou.-iy
in defence of hi* own life. 'j'Jiis right
,of bail is guaranteed to qs by the constitution
; ij has been passed upon by
the highest ooyy ts of our land, and is
everywhere regarded aga boui.den right,
notwithstanding the opinion of the
learned editor of J.l)e JPr^ss ami liannei
x)n the law.
Now in conclusion. The Press and
Banner intimates, if it does not assert,
iliat guilty men have gone unwhipt
/of justice for offences co.mnitted in our
.County. Grant that such i^ the case,
has the great harm followed it which
ho would have those, who do not know.
believe ? Has he never learned the
maxim quoted thousands of times, ''It
jr better that ninety-nine guilt)' men
oacapo, than one innocent ijjan he punished.''
Justice tempered yyith mercy is
the kesylono .qf onr libertjos, and when
not recognized, fare \r ell" to peace and
order, and prepare for rjjle }>y might.

In your issue of tho 28th, ult. you ^
call on tho oiliciaj^ of the C. C. G. & 0. 1

line of this road by active stops towards
worlc on it, The writer desires to say
that the nnxict}* on this (juostion is be- ,
coining somewhat painful, and your re- |
marks find n lioarty response among tho \
friends of the enterprise. We admit ,
that an injustice might be done these (
gentlemen by expecting tlunn to do
more unin n reasonable. jjnt while (
this is true, have we not ji right to ox- ,
pert tlint wo hear something from the ,
gentlemen on a suhjoct that has caused
so much discussion. We mea.it all that |
the word work means when wo were |
trying to meet those otticerR on their |
own proposition In April and May, <
In an ontcrpriwo like thin, private par- (
ties, and von stockholders are power- |
loss. They must look to the officers for |
pushing the matter on. If this cannot bo j
done, the difficulties in the way can at
least bo made known. Has the success ,
of the road hinged on Aiken ? Suppose
she stands aloof as she novf 'seoms
to have determined, is that to block the
road ? . Why not stop" at Trenton, or
some oth'*r point on the (5. C. Sc A.
Koad ? Surely some cause can bo devised
to relieve the road from the suspense
it? which it now stands. If it
cannot bo built on the present line,
some other connections may be made
that w ill bo more successful. There are
no secrets to bo kept about the progress
of the road. What stands in the way ?
A word from the President, tho directors,
or Mr. Schofiold might be some relief.
Wo do not understand however,
that Mr. Schnfleld has anything to do
with it as it now stands, except to re- |
lieve the South Carolina division from
its contract with him. Has he done so,

Forsevoral days our town ha* been
considerably exercised over a eas? of
raith cure, or. nt least, a case where the
restoring process seems to be gradually
going on.1 The person who is exp.-ri3ncing
this cure is Mrs. Clemantipc
Morgan, wife of Mr. J. (?. Morgan, of
sur town, Mrs. Morgan is a daughter
if Ilev. Mark M. IJoyd and, of course,
dster to lb-vs. Ueorge. Marion and

This places Mrs. Morgan hefore

tier statements to the fullest credi-nce,
jvi'ii did not we, and others of her
neighbors have oco.ilar and other satisfactory
proofs of the remarkable i hange
Lhat has taken place ;is regards her
physical condition.
Mrs. Morgan is now forty-threw y-ars

years. Indeed her afllietion ro-.o'ii&ic-;

i gradual loss of the museular p- wer of
the lower limbs, nt that time more especially
in her kneey. The !!l:.-;i.?u

down or sonrcoly to waik across the

anlyas she was nssisted, the dressing
ind undressing devolving entirely upon
others. Her spine was still' nnd curved
hack wards, and or.o of her feet was
lrawn sideways so that the bottom
iould scarcely he made to touch the
door. This has been her condition for
more than three vears. and this was her
rendition a littlo more than a week ago.
Anil all this time Mr?. Morgan has been
lirlght in mind, cheerful in spirits and
iiopeful, she sny?. that Ood would, when
dio got right, brin^ her body riyht.
Strongly impressed with this conviction
tic took what she regards as the initial
iUp to what she conlidently believes
will be a happy cotiRuininnlien. She
wrote to Miss C. 1''. Judd, of Buffalo, N.
ST., author of a book entitled "Prayer of
Faith^' describing to Miss Judd her conlition,
and this correspondence resulted
n the appointment of Wednesday night,
' V* . ' ' ' # % '
f '( ' /' - v '
litly Uitii at half past eight o'clock, as
be hour in which she and others of her
rionds would olferspecial prayer for the
lictod woman. Mrs. Morgan was not
jnmindful of tho hour when it camo.
ind b"ing a praying woman, joined them
n this special effort. That night .she
lind n dream or vision. She described to j
lis what sho she saw : but we cannot ro- ?
member all, nor could we tell it as she JJ
told it. It was a sermon in itself. Her j
manner of describing tho scene Is iin- c
pressivc of her faith and earnestness 11
and is touching in the extreme. Hut to (
results, for our space is limited.
The next morning she discarded the ?
rolling chair, and she can now walk
about unassisted. She can also get in
and out of bed, raise up and down, turn
over, dress and undress herself, raise
her hands over her head, her spine is
straight and natural, her limbs which were
much swollen and evidently dropsical,
have swagged to their natural size,
the color has returned to her skin, ami
she says sho is iu uvcry respect anew
woman. And the good work is still going
on. "I am growing daily," she said
to us, "growing hi grace, growing in
faith and growing in strength, and I
hnva not the slightest doubt that my
restoration will be complete." And as <
she speaks her countenance confirms i
her testimony of tho faith that is in her. i
We will only add that. the earnest

are th:it:is lior faith is, so may it be with
her.? Ethje 'fchl J/o)i.'7w.
