ELBERT Ui. AtULL, EDITOR. LBERT H. AULL, rPies. WM. P. HOUSEAL, rop 'E WBERRY, S. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1889. ABOT XAREIAGE. Isn't it strange how learnedly some of the bachelor editors can write about marriage? A sho-time ago a young man and young lady- applied to the Sthrough with that ceremony which would make them man and wife. The ministers refused because the couple was what is termed a "runaway euple." But there happened to be a ninister in the place tarrying for a few 4ays, and these young people applied "o him and the words were soon said -that made the two one flesh. In view of these facts the bachelor editor of the Press and Banner proceeds to read he local preachers at Ninety-Six a lecture on marriage. Here is the lecture of bacheL;r Wilson ofthe Preas and Banner: "Is it possible that these devout ser vants-of the Master reflect upon the fearful ponsibility which they. as ys s ume in refusing honorable marnage? No such warrant or sanction can be lound in Holy Writ, as would justify thie refusal to marry a,-ouple for the single reason the y g people were nof under the fami.y ofree is honor ^^g all men, and the or-of : yis the sawning glory Christian' rligion. To use . of an -ofer, 'In noco -. world is r wwoman's honor rded as mn-South C ntland.' ; Our own beloved" ff the ;honorrom even C.asier E to get married in than gn:any other spot of :ny iracknowledgme' asgrifeis sufficient, an >-sts reby she may be n other country eoralities, and other e ist,;andall to the of " oman. The license laws are agais wman; _,and are ashield to him who would seek to win and trifle with her affections. We:trust, therefore, that tae day will never come when the statuts books of M'this:State may be blurred and black " - ened by any law against marriage, acd i!rfurther trust any foo0ish sentiment - that any honorable woman should be debarred the privilege of an honorable marriage may never exist. ' bhopreacher who turns from his 1466 o the womaniu refusal-of marriage ' wM her-loveris to refuse to the appli -cants that union which is commended e highest authority, and which is ':the.foundation stone upon which iests -the family altar, and to which we are ndebted for the existence of all moral saviGSs BAiIKs. deesire to direct attention to an on~ the outside of this paper Caknfrom the Manufacturer's Record ithe need of SavingsBRank. It deals ~ -rore particularly with .the .Savings m~BakS of MamsanhnuetLs and what they ye dne there, but there is no reason why the same thing might not be done ie. There can be noquestion as to thevalue ofia Savings Bank to a town, ~Zte like andsize of Newberry. The N ecerd in-cwmentng~upon this letter says that such institutions not only en courage thrift and economy by making ~-those put aside - small savings who ~Uwudnot do so otherwise, but they ~woI.dgather- together these scattered ~ nd mall amounts and. prodnee a-good '--oringe capital wrhic. "uld not other ise bebad' The Record says: "There n'eh~ndreds of countios in the South duraingtiwns 'of- fair size, that have dough idle money hoa:ded away, in ~-msraging fiom ten dollars up, which zdrawn into savings banks, as in the 1rt,ou1d frnish capital sufficient S1materially help to develop and im -pxdie4Ee whole neighborhood." NBesides this thesmallisums that are nym idle if put into institutions of this cliarseteri 'ould be producing some ~<~thingo those who have it. Think of T ey~other inhabitant .of the State of 'M eahusetts having a bank account. -Yethat seems to be the State of'aflais -i assachusetts. Se believe itwould bea good thing for a town like Newbeniy to. have a savings bank properly conducted. E00& FEO PEDICTED TOB THE SOUTH. "M Quad,".a correspondent of the Detroit FreePress, whobias been travel-. nrg through thie South a:good deal and making obsei-vations -ad writing for 'his paper, in a private letter to the 'Chrleston Wortd gives briefly his views ogi he need of the South, and -the dohdition of the Northwest. This letter is'in response to a letter from the W6old inviting this- correspondent to S-isit South Cirolina. There is no doubt ntat we have the finest country in the -r wo*i. -We w'ant immigration, but we ~~arit that class -principally that -has money that can help us build up this section by planting more small manu facturing enterprises. Here -is -what this correspondent says. ":1 can't reach Soutli Carolina on -this trip, but I could go there ness, fall or winterif there was a demand fornt. :There is going to be a rush of homAe seeters to-the.South within the next yeai-. *Th'e~Western boom is flat, anid California1is 'busted' This tide has got togo South. . It has already begun to "Kfow. If the Southern people are only alive to the situatiod this tide can be turned into any State or locality.

He desires to retire to private-life and revise and re-write his law of Magistrates. The theatre goers in Charleston last ~ek spent $13,645in this way. This is a right-snug little sum. Senator Blackburn seems to have given Mr. Chandler's ear a pretty good p-ilnngo. John Wanamaker spends $5,000 week for advertising. That shows hi to be a first rate business man. Bi when he spent that much for son weeks in furnishing "boodle" for ti Republican campaign he didn't do : well-Spartanburg Heald. The furnishing of this "boodle" m be a good thing for Mr. Wanamak yet. If he should get a cabinet portfol it will be due to his free use of "boodle But apart from this Mr. Wanamak will get a large amount of adverisi in consequence of having given so mut "boodle" to the Republican campaig and it seems quite likely that he w] be considered entitled to a portfolio. Out of the twenty-three America citizens who have been elevated to til Presidency, only seven had a midd name. John Quincy Adams, W:llia: Henry Harrison, James Knox Vol Ulyses Simpson Grant, Rutherfoi Burchard Hayes, James Abram Ga field, Chester Allen Arthur. Mr. Hay is the only ex-Presideat who is no living. An exchange says that wh to do with ex-Presidents is gett'ng to1 an interesting question. We oniy ha one now, but if Mr. : Cleveland lives few days longer we will have anoth( He is going back to work for his livis as other private citizens, and we are the opinion that that is the best disp sition we can make of them. Let the dignify labor. For the benefit of the bachelor edito who have been discussing the marria, question, and who may have failed see the following opinion, and for s bachelor readers, we quote the followii from the correspondent of an esteem( contemporary: "If writers would st< discussing the question, 'Is marriage failure?' and discuss the bacon que tion a little more we all might be bett off. Marriage is a failure to those wl failto'marry, and faming is a failu to those who buy bacon and corn." V direct attention to the opinion in t] last senteace of the quotation. THE EAR OF A SENATOR. Account of a Senator'al Ear-Pulling in Committee Boom. [Washington Special to the New Yo] World. At last the time came when Senat Blackburn's patience and forbearan gave way. Senator Chandler's ins lence in committee this forenoon (F, day) was such that Senator Elackbuj could not resist the :mpulse to chara terize it in plain and forcible languag Those who remember the Senatoi denunciation of Judge Rucker's co duct last November will not require be told that he is a plain talker. Senator Chandler, relying too mu< -on the chivalrous Kentuckian's fo bearance, was imprudent enough call Blackburn a "slave driver." Whs ever may be said of Joe Blackburn courage, nobody doubts his temper. has been displayed too often to mal any assertions on that point necessar His Sopther pride was fired in an i stant. Tremblin~ with anger, he rose at walked sight to the head 'f4the tab where hader, by virtue of his po tion as chairman, sat. Doubling his big Kentucky fist, and shaking in the New Hampshire Senator's fac he exclaimed: "You d--little scoundrel! If y< were not such an insignificant litt coward. I woulti thrasa you on ti very spot. I'have's miid to pull .y< fom yur chi and whiI -you as It would hve been a very unequ contest. Blackburn is a big fellow wil long arms and sledge-hamr.1er fis1 while Chandler is un-iersized and I from strong. With a tremor in nis voice, Chand] exclaimed: "You dare not hit me!"1 Before at of the other Senators present couldi terfere Blackburn reached towar Chandler, seized him by the right e and Jerked him from his chair as easi as though he had been a ten-year-c boy. The Kentucky Senator was angry that it is doubtful whether] knew just what he was doing. Using Chandler's right ear as a s( of handle, he threw ih:m towards tl wall, with which the New Hampshi politician would have collided wil great force but for Senator Faulkn who rushed up and threw his art around Blackburn. Chandler writh< and struggled to get away, but his e was in a veuitable vise, Blackbua holdIng him securely, notwithsta3dia Faulkner's efforts to release his colle gue. ~After Chandler had been severe shaken Senator Faulkner succeeded; releasing him from Blackburn's irt He was then carried from the roor looking much 'the worse for wea Every precaution was taken to ke< the affamr secret, but it leaked out i night and was fully confirmed by eye witness. Both Senator Chandler and Senat Blackburn were seen to-night, .bl neither would talk further than to se that the fight had occurred. Boi Senators laughed when the story we repeated, but there was little mer. ment in the laugh of the gentlemi from New Hampshire. Senator Cha dier's right ear is badly swollen, at will for some time to come be a fiat ing -witness of the strength of Senat Blackburn's grp. There will beno duel, Chandler is man of-peace and thirsts for no mar gore. THE OUTRAGE 3LLL CHOCKED. [Special to.News and Courier.1 WASHINGTON, February 25.-T Southern outrage mill, which the R publican Senators undertook to rt last week, is a wreck and can hardly1 put* in working order again during tl present session.

It was said to-day that it will finally disposed of at the extra sessi< of the Senate. Stole the Judges Hat. [Laurensville Herald 22d.] Some presumably bare-headed ai bare-faced thief, without fear of t law before his eyes, and roguishly be upon covering his unworthy poll, stc Judge Hudson's hat, last Wednesde evening, from the private chamber the Court room, immediately in rear his Honor's seat, and that dignita was thus forced to gohatless toih Hotel.

One at least of ] h pupils was of the other sex and a gr r- deal of noise was being made in a ro< to across the ball. The professor went Lt- it and asked the students there to i L's sist, as he could not instruct his el It on account of the noise. He thea te turned to his d..awing ;oom. The no y. was repeated.
