A Grand COncepti0n Of Duty.

Our friends of the Methodist Church
have entered upon the centennial cele-
bration of the introduction of Method
ism into this country, and propose to
commemorate its progress and Develop
ment by a year of redoubled effort in the
service of the Master. We think this is
a grand conception Of duty, an appropri-
ate method Of expression of gratitude,
which will carry with it its own reward.
The combined efforts Of one-third, or
more, of the protestants of the Southern
States. wealthy, intelligent and seeking
an appropriate method of thanksgiving,
must eventuate in great results. Every
member is to be brought into service,
whether young or old, and is expected to
contribute his mite. 1t is to be no jubilee
heralded by the sounding Of trumpets,
or triumphal march with banners, but n
wear of earnest, active but humble effort
to complete the untitled measure of duty
of a century which is to end with the
year 1884. Beginning at home, the work
is to expand; churches are to be freed
from debt superannuated ministers to
be provided for all church schemes OF
beneficence to be fostered, and the whole
to be crowned, by planting the gospel, as
a memorial shaft. in the midst of the
heathens, to shine to the ends of the
earth. But it is in a broader sense, We
wish to call attention to this centenary
occasion: 1t is an event Of no trifing sig
n%ificance t. the country indeed, it is al
occasion in which every individual o.
whatever name or denomination, may
rejoice, as a citizen, in view of the bless
ings of peace and order, tranquility and
appiness,> guaranteed to "that people
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1884-03-26

whose God is tho Lord" We have
thought the people of the South have
been impcrilcd rs no other people have
probably ever been, and in the midst OF
it all Il restraining power has protected
them. When the civil wal left them
powerloss, and at tho mercy Of a mer-
cenary foo, there was a element freed and
turned loose i'll their midst, whose pres
nee and office was that Of a spy. Like
the plaques of Egypt, they were in every
mans house, around and about him to
annoy and harrasS; he could not escape
their surveillance; every word and act of
impatienco was construed into disloyalty
and rebellion, and promptly reported.
The ingenuity Of a vindictive foe was ex-
hausted to provoke IL people to acts of
desperation, that the chains of dcspotisln
might be riycted upon them, but in the
midst of it all they were protected and
guided. Every citizen, therefore, is in
tercstcd in the triumps of gospel truth,
and should rejoice with his Methodist
friends in this, their centennial year.

AN acquaintance from the Savannah
side of the county, returned this far Sat-
urday, from a trip to Spartanburg across
the country, and reports that the grain
crop is less injured in the Saluda section
of Abbeville county, and looks better
than in any other section on his route.
His estimate is that fully half the grain
has been destroyed.

SERIOUS AFFRIGHT.-Ed. McCice, a
colored resident Of the town was fright
ened nearly to death, last Saturday night.
lie was passing near Riley's livery sta
BILE. when, he asserts, all object confront
ed him in his pathway. lie put out his
hand to touch it, when it assumed huge
proportions and u hideous aspect which
so frightened him that he fell to the
glound the monster rampled upon him,
and he was unable to escape, except To
crawl away to the nearest tenanted cab
In, where; to his dislnny he vas refused
admittance. He then made bis way
across the public square to the depot and
called the Waterman to his assistance
wlieii the monster left him. MCGEE is an
intelligent and sober man says he has
never been frightened before ut night,
and has no faith in ghosts or supernatural
visions, but of this he is sure, he never
wants to have another such experience
as he had Saturday night. lie had not
recovered from the fright when reporting
the occurrence on Monday.

Cheap Freight and Rapid Transit.

The ImguStd Evening Ncws says: In
discussing the recent acquisition of tho
G]rcenvillc. Laurcns and S~partanburg
Railroad by the Central, Il popular and
energetic railroad man remarked:
"The next step will he 4 grand trunk
line from Port Royal to Spartanburg."
This is Il striking plan and it will not
he long before it is in operation. Indeed,
the development Of the Port Royal Rail-
way under its present management is
simply wonderful, and the running of
trains from Port Royal to Greenwood is
already a successful and very prosperous
fact.
The rapid movement of tho freight on
the Port Royal makes it popular with
merchants and those who want the
quickest delivery from New York to Au-
gusta aud points along the Georgia or the
Augusta and Knoxville Road, order by
the Polt Royal Steamers, which are now
doing some swift schedule work."
A vast amount of freight is shipped by
this line, and transferred here for points
on the Columbia and Greenvillc Rail
road. So popular has it become that it
is materially interfering with the bust
ness of competing lines Of another sys-
tem. This is but the beginning Of the
end:

An Abbeville County man bought sup
plies recently of merchants of this place,
and shipped them by rail to; or near,
their destination. This scores another
point for Laurens, and shows that the
are turning.-LaurcnSui2i Herald.

who is so ignorant of the advantages af-
forded him so near at hand, in his w
take take it that he must re-
side somewhere on the Saluda side.

any other town in this section of the
State, either rs i dry goods, grocery or
market. The advs nlage in the

sell or buy as low as Augusta.
