Address, THE HERALD. I Mr. John Gary Evans, through the columns of his paper, the Aiken Times, is constantly endorsing him self for Governor. We suppose that Dr. Slokes will follow his example and use the Reform Patriot for the same purpose, endorsing its owner for Congress. That inveterate office-seeker and unscrupulous politician. Dr. J. Wm. Stokes has established a paper and with strange inappropriuteness, for tlie lust half of the name, calls it the Reform Patriot The Dr. must be something of a humorist to adopt such a name, for it is very certain that if his paper will ever have any patriotism in it, the quantity will be so inffiuitesimal that it could not be discovered by the most powerful microscope that could be constructed. The Tuesday morning’s issue of The State has a most excellent illus tration of the partition at Shandnn, the new pleasure resort near Colum bia, which is the beginning of a new feature iu our lively eon temporary. We suggest that the artist would do well to give the readers of the paper a pictiue of the fine tourist’s hotel, now being constructed from designs of those famous architects, Gonzales and Ball. The same cut, with a few changes could be made to also answer for Sumter’s fine hotel. Scrambling far Oar Sbars. The fact Unit the fditnrxhip of tin Advocate by a layman ••haw oflcii occurred”to* editor Woods of the Darlington Herald explains his position fully. Tlie South Carolina Conference will not likely gratify Id* vanltx however. We are not at all • pposed R. the election of a layman to the p< sit ion which we may vacate, if the Conferenre see* fit to do so, nor are we eapeciall) opposed to the candidacy of editor oods- Bnt we do protest against his slanderous references to the preacher* of the South Carolina Conference. He and editor Petty (whom he quotes so unctuously) intimate that the preachers of the Conference are scrambling for the place whicli wo may or may not va cate These insinuations are indecent nnduntr.e. If there is any candidate among tlie preachers for the editorship of the Advocate wc have not heard of it. The preachers are behaving lhem selves with accustomed propriety. These laymen, with an eye to tlie main chance, ‘are trying to stir up a little racket. But they did not take enough interest in the paper a few months ago to subscrilie a single dollar to maintain it. It is little less than impertinence for thnn now to make any. suggestions as to its management. Editor Woods, if he desired to lie truthful and sincere, ought to have said that editor Hoyt owned the Baptist Courier out light. He put his money in It- When it suited him he sold it to preacher, and it is now edited and controlled by an honored minister of the Baptist t hurch. We do not know of a single religious paper of any denomina tion. North or Kouth, that is edited by a layman. If editor Woods wishes ta break this record we have no ohjaclion. But since, tlie Conference must decide this matter, lie has started his candidacy in a very unfortunate way. We are qnite sure that onr preachers will not enjoy his uncalled for and slanderous suggestion that they are anxiously hoping to step into this office. Our preachers and laymen have mainla'ned n dignified silence about the matter. This silence bus only been broken by Editor Petty and Editor Woods We fear they ii'ave done their candidacy serious injury P. 8. This editor lias not yet resigned. Don’t speak for Ids shoes lieforo the colliu is ordered.—Honthern Christian Advocate. To say that we were amazed when we read the above article but faintly expresses onr feelings. Aside from this natural astonishment, increased by the recollection of a very kind and complimentary notice of Dr. Kirkland which appeared in the same issue of The Herald, we bad but one feeling and that was one ol ! deep sorrow that the editor of the Advocate should have given way, for no cause,that we are able to perceive to such a violent outburst of anger, The suggestion, us we presume was the same with the one taken from The Columbia Stale is lather be hind iu uccttbing the Abbeville Press and Banner of being a convert to the Reform cause. It 1ms had a leaning in this direction for a long time and gets worse every week. Like nil proselites it over does the business, and is just ns unfair us n paper can well be. In one thing, however, it is consistent and that is in its devo tion to the Dispensary, which from the standpoint of its editor is a highly moral measure and one that, during its brief and bloody exist ence, accomplished a great deal of good. The Press and Bunmv, like every other paper that sacrifice* political principle in order to he on the strong side, will live to see tin- day when it would give a great deal to blot out the record it is now making. The future mlhieuce of the press will be wielded by those journals that esteemed principle above popularity or pecuniary g.iin, and w hose editors accepted poverti or temporary suspension rather than be untrue to their convictions of rigl^. The editor who is true to himself ami t.) his principles is the one that will, iu all emergencies be true to the people and their real in terests. The loss of patronage or friends will not make him swerve one haiiebreadth from the path of duty and he will stand by what he conceives to lie Hie truth at any cost to himself or his |>uih.t. His guiding principles should be fairness and truth, aud if lie adheres rigidly to there, his laiior will not be in vain, for through him the truth will, iu the end, be made clear. Old shoes made new at reduced pricy*) ty W. 0, Young. the Carolina Spartan, was more of a Shall We Have a 8u4ay Nall t | We are free to confess that it was | with some feeling of regret that we j became aware of a movement on the j part of some of. our citiseus to haye t Sunday mail,for unless a strong no-’ oessity for it exists we would be sorry, ro see it established; believing aS we incerely do that, wherever" practica ble, it is well to dispense, for that one day, with ail Intsiuess matters •nd devote it to rest and innocent recreation. As (here is so much honest difference of opinion as to the proper observance of the day, a few reflections on the subject tnuy nbt be entirely lacking in interest. That the religious superstitions, and persecutions, for opinion’s sake, of the middle ages and the gloomy austerity of the days of Pnritanism are at an end is a great gain both for civilisation and Christianity, hot while we rejoice that these mistaken ideas no longer prevail, we should not go to the other extreme and de away entirely with its observance. From the standpoint ol the Christian It is a moral necessity that the Jay should be observed, and even. the infidel is compelled to acknowledge the absolute need of mental 'and physical rest The most perfectly coustrncted piece of machinery mast, at times, be stopped for repair and unless this is done it soon gives way and becomes useless. Eyen patting entirely aside the needs of a man’s spiritual or moral natnre, the wel fare of bis mental and physica being cannot be ignored, and it is easy to perceive how quickly these would become useless without some cessation from their daily labor. It is an oft quoted saying bnt too true a one to ever grow old, that the Sab bath was made for man and not man for the Subbath, launched into exist ence only that he might observe it according to the mistaken notions ol: a past age, and bearing this saying in mind we can more readily settle the question as to what really cou- stitntfs its observance, and not fall into the error of keeping the letter but not the spirit of the law. There is a very prevalent, bnt er/oncone, ‘ THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY. Not Position of Responsibility Always Well Filled. Baltimore Bud. The position of the head of the family is not an unimportant one, and according to the precedent established by the Creator when be placed Adam in the garden before the crowning after-thought was conceived in the bruin of the Deity, man has occupied the position officially. There is importance attached to being the head of any thing; it means responsibility and recognized superior qualifications gencrallv; it means power and force to which some one more or less lowly must doff his hat As the head of the family our first parent lucked in qualifications; there was a suspicious lack of magnanimity in Adam on that occasion when he turned State’s evidence and placed the mother of the human race on the defensive, with no one-to plead her cause. He showed a lamentable lack of reserve force in that interview with the angel of the Lord, did Adam; and when Eve passed without the gatee of the garden, tagging at his heels like the guilty, condemned thing that she was, her liege-lord con- ‘vinced her by the stern object-lesson that he was the official head of the housA Adam ha* had many sons tuiilt after the same plan, officially more than really the head of the honse. It is man’s prerogative to be the head of the family, and the position is one worthy the ablest, the noblest son of the nation. It means a great deal, this being the head of the family; it means more than merely having yonr name on the door plate and the carriage block; it means more than carving the meat and lock ing np at night and ordering ihe coal; it means mure than plunging the children into disgrace at will; more thau poking the fire when it 1 doesn’t need it or when it does; more \ than finding fault with the steak or! the coffee; it means more than the autocrat power of the petty domestic The qualifications entitling Miss Means Vindicated. Our readers will remember that, several mouths ago Miss Sadie Means, of Columbia, was suspended from the communion of the Second Pres byterian Church, in that city, for working in the telephone exchange on Sunday. The case was carried to the Charleston Presbytery which body sustained the action ot the church session. The matter was then brought before the Synod’ which reversed the findings of the Presbytery. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Blackburn, carried the case np to the General Assembly, the highest court of the church and against, whose decision there can be no appeal. The assembly after giying the matter serious and careful atten tion, and allowing both sides ample time to make arguments, by a pretty large majority decided in fayor of Mies Means, thereby completely vin dicating her against the charge of violating the Sabbath. What caused the case to attract more widespread attention than it wonld otherwise have done, was the fact that the church had other mem bers whose positions required them to work on Sunday, and against whom no charges were made. M iss Means had an able champion iu the person of Rev. J. W. Flinn, one of the professors in the South Carolina College, and his presentatian of the case, both before the Synod and General Assembly was masterly aud inexorably logical. There is no more conservative and orthodox body of Christians than the General Assembly of the South ern Presbyterian, and that it should have administered such a rebuke to the bigotry, unfairuess aud intoler anoe of one of its churches is a matter for general congratulation.

Those who arc toleration and synipathvand morality familiar with the great strides made and wisdom, and looks np to him by the different churches, in the last j even though he be of diminutive else, and the editor of the Advocate iinist have been on u big bunt for .someliody to get mad with when he made use of it to pour out the vials of his wrath on the heads of, to his mind, two impudent and aspiring laymen. If any one is so imtnagina- tive as to think, from what we said, that the editor of The Herald wishes to step into Hr. Kirkland’s place, they arc welcome to enjoy their opinion, as we certainly won’t dignify the charge by a denial. Of course it is iu onr power to make an angry reply to this uncalled for attack, but, even if tempted to do so, we are restrained by the fact that we edit a secular and not a religious paper, and cannot violate the ethics of u profession which forbids the use of unfair and abusive language. Dr. Kirkland owes it to himself, to bis brother ministers, who have so often honored him, to the good name of his church, but above all for the sake of the meek and humble Nuzareue, whose teachings he professes to follow and leach, to keep his temper, if need be, bound down with fetters of steel; and to ever bear in mind ‘’That he that ruleth his spirit is greater than he that taketh a city.” To those of our readers who are unacquainted with the editor of tlie Carolina Spartan, it may not be amiss to say that he is one of the most honored citizens of Spartan burg, a cultured Christian gentle man, a man of the most kindly and genial natnre and would adorn the editorial chair of any paper, lltat was so fortunate as to secure his services, even if it were that of the Southern Christian Adyocnte, pro vided he could insulate himself sufficiently to contnl the electricity with which it is charged.
