Ci? fiai etan :\? St?lam WEDNESDAY, MARCH ll. ABS THB ?LD PAPEBS TO BE MlPPI? AN TED ? ' Abbeville Pres* and Banner. In varions parts of the State nev papers were started daring the cam? paign, and as far as we now recollect, each and every one claimed to be a special friend of the "people." We believe a majority of those which Were started last fall, have already closed their careers, and their obituary nortees have been published. Lately other friends of the "people" have appeared at varions places, with what might be termed special pleading / for favor from a particular class, by ?aking war on another elass. lt is well when any enterprise fails to give satisfaction, for new men and new enterprises to enter the field of compe? l? rion. The publie are generally better nerved, bot the experiment is sometimes % costly one for those who venture. As a mle new papers are started by men who are inexperienced in the prac tica I business of publishing a newspa? per, and whether they develop the ele? ments of success or not, their first step waa certainly a mistake. If any man or company of men should eome to the conclusion that they are "called'' into the newspaper business at any. particular railroad tank, or rural village, he or they woald find it cheaper and better to buy ab interest in the old established paper, for the simple reason that if there is room far but one news? paper, or the newspapers already estab? lished, and if the ability and energy in the old and the new enterprises are about equal the new paper must finally go down because of the great advantage which old papers always have over a sew paper. Rival papers are generally public, benefactors. They stimulate each other ? lo their best efforts, but wheo one paper ; tries lo crowd out the other, by under- i bidding in prices of work, they cripple \ themselves without doing anybody any good n j Old established papers must keep up with the procession or else expect yoong rivals to enter the field in an effort to answer a public demand. The papers which expect to exist and establish themselves on class prejudice will certainly fail. Nothiog short of answering a public demand will put a newspaper ou a solid footing. As a rule the ''people" do not sub? scribe for newspapers. If they do, they soon rise to sufficient intelligence to be considered members of the educated elass of their respective communities, who have no sympathy for the de? ception which would appeal to the igno? rance and prejudices of the "people.*' A newspaper which avowedly seeks to array the people against the intelli? gence and decency of the country must of necessity have a very limited field of usefulness, and as it educates its read? ers, it to that extent, circumscribes its influence, and lessens the field from which it must draw its own support. The Future of the Monkey. Prof. garner, a scientist, connected with the Smithsonian Institute, we believe, is investigating a mest inter? esting problem, whether monkeys have ft regular language of their own. By the use of the phonograph, he has been able to reproduce and analyse their chattering, and he believes he has discovered forty -or fifty articulate sounds which form a real language. He is in Charleston now and bas been cultivating the acquaintance of a pet monkey belonging to a gentleman there, and it is said he claims to have added two more words to his monkey's >on. Ile will soon deliver a^ lec? ture in Charleston on the subject. This inquiry is most iu?eresting from a seien ii Sc point of view. We have been accustomed to place man at an immeasurable distance above other animals, and to adduce the exclusive possession of language by him as con? clusive justification of this classifica? tion. But if Prof. Garner succeeds in establishing his hypothesis, a severe blow will have been given to our self esteem- It is known that certain tribes of man of the lowest type have an exceedingly limited vocabulary, by which they express ou ly the simplest wants. The Veddahs, for instance, inhabit the interior of Ceylon, where for two thousand years they have been a proscribed race., are but a step re? moved above tbe monkeys chattering around them. A writer io a recent number of the Youth's Companion says it is doubtful whether they have any -language at all, as they communicate chiefly by signs, grimaces and guttural sounds "They have no idea of time or distance, no name for hours, days or years They have no doctors, no knowledge of medicine save to apply bark and leaves to wounds. They have no games, no amusements, no music, no education. They are unable to count beyond five on their own fingers. They have no caste, no knowledge of God or j a future state, no temples, no idols', no prayers, no games, no instinct for worship except a slight tendency to devil worship by which they hope to avert storms and lightning. So tude indeed are the Veddahs that they do { not bury their dead, bat cover them over with leaves and "brushwood in the jungle." The inhabitants of Terra del Fuego are possibly even more deeply steeped in ignorance than the ! Veddahs. If Prof. Garner succeeds in acquir? ing the language of the monkey and of communicating with him he may not only in time bring him on an equal plane with the Veddahs but effect some 8 ill mere astonishing results. A good roany chimerical schemes for utilizing tin monkey as a laborer have been 1 roached, among others that of making him pick cotton, but he has never proven other than an imp of mischief. Educate him, and make a steady citizen j of him, and the labor problem will have been solved. Then if he manifest Democratic tendencies he may be fnfranchised by a now constitutional rmepdmer.t and used to offset the ignorant Republican vote of the coun? try. We shall follow Prof Garner's experiments with interest.-Fairfield JVeies and Herald. Miss Anna Dickenson, a very gifted Northern woman, who was at one time the most magnetic and attractive, and perhaps the most intellectual lecturer in public among the Northern women, j sud who was particularly unfair towards the South, is now under a great blight. She bas been taken to an insane asy? lum and is io great poverty. I Death of Dr. James C. Pur man. GREENVILLE, March o.-This morn? ing at 6 o'clock Dr. James C. Forman died at his moue, three miles from Greenville. For some days he had been ill with catarrhal affection and some complica? tion of the heart. His advanced age gave little hope that he could stand a severe attack, though his fam:=ly boped be might rally, as bc had done from previous attacks. Dr. Forman was born in Charleston, Dec. 5, 1809.- His father, Rev. Richard Furman. a revolutionary pa? triot, identified with the early history tory of the Baptist Church in Charles? ton and low country, imparted to his son a love for state and country which became a part of his life. As a student at Charleston college, he was a peer of his fellows in zeal for the glory of his section. He commenced the study of medicine, bot changed his plans io 1828, when he professed conversion andjwas baptized by Dr. Basil Manly. Feeling it his duty to preach, be be? gan a course of theological stody, and commenced his ministerial work before he waa of age. He took part in great revivals in Edge?eld, Beaufort and Robert8ville. The celebrated Richard Fuller was one of the converts at these meetings. He served the Welch Neck Church, Society Hill, and Second B? pt ist Church at Charleston. in 1843 he became a member of the faculty of Forman Theological Institute, near Winnsboro. In connection with Professors Mimina and Edwards, be elaborated a plan for a broader system of education, which resulted in the establishment of Furman University in this cky. He selected the site of the University at Greenville, and was made chairman of the faculty. After? wards he was elected president, which position be filled till 1881, when he j was succeeded by Dr. Charles Manly. j Dr. Furman preferred to bold the j position of instructor of mental philoso- ] phy and moral science, rhetoric and j logic, which position he filled at the j time of his death. He was twice \ pastor of the Greenville Baptist Church, : and for several years past has been j pastor of country Churches. Ue was married twice, and leaves a widow and j five children. He was a man of re- j markable mental power, broad views j aud clear ideas. Firm and unyielding j in his convictions, he was always gentle and kind towards opponents. He was loved and admired by al) classes, and gloom is thrown over this city by his death. He wilt be buried Thursday. -Greenville News. Lee on Wade Hampton.
