Be~gars and Corrupt Giving.

The season is at hand when candidates may
be beseiged by subscription papers seeking
money for the advancement Of worthy OBJ
iects, or ior the benefit Of some citizen who
NAV have sustained loss. According to our
way of thinking there is a mistaken notion
ns to what is charity. We are not called up
mn to restore a mans fortune, but If he is, by
some unavoidable accident, in present need
of something to ailay hunger or TO protect
him from the weather. then it is our duty to
divide our bread with him, and TO share our
shelter with him, but no man has a right to
expect community Of citizens 10 take the
place of an insurance company, and restore TO
him the value of that property which he has
lost by fire or other accident.
The habit of presenting subscription papers
to men seeking public Office is, In our opinion
reprehensible in the highest degree The cam
didate may understand the application to be
q demand, the refusal of which will lose him
votes at the approaching election. II the sur
mise Is correst, it is species OF petty corrup-
tion which should not be encouraged among
citizens of culture and Christian civilization.
If a candidate seeks the vote Of any congre-
CATION by contributing five dollars, or any
other amount, to the repair of their church
building, then he sets low estimate OH the
morals and independence of the voters of that
congregation. The gift OF money to
church in which the candidate has no other
interest than the votes of its members, should
DO sufficient reason to make him odious In the
eyes of the respectable public. We hope,
therefore, that no church building committee
may apply to any candidate for aid, and wo
hope that no candidate may make himself IL
able to the charge of seeking to buy his way
into public favor. Such acts, must have ten
dency TO lower our morals. Besides this, the
rich candidate,if the system Of buying church
votes is to prevail, is unfair to those candi-
dates who are unable to buy the votes Of such
church members as may be willing to sell
their birth-right for mess of pottage.
1t Is q sin to encourage an evil like this and
while the "unco guild" church members are
discussing questionable methods at church
fairs, we hope they may not forget the candi-
date who would corrupt the church members
In buying their votes by subscribing sum to
The repair of house Of worship, which
has been dedicated 10 holy purposes. Let
them look with suspicion on the act Of any
disiuterested person who may give them
money. No candidate has right to buy the
votes of any congregation by giving few
dollars to the repair of their church.

More of the Store Business.

Editor Press and Banner:
In your issue of May 10Th noticed n conf
munlcatlon signed Farmer" grumbling
about the stores Of Abbeville closing at Six
o'clock. Grass couldn't havo been growing
in his crop at that time, or he certainly could
have found more profitable employment.
fully agree with Farmer where he says
In his communication of June 2nd that
his communication of May 10Th was neither
"funny nor smart" nor have l heard IL
termed as such, though it has been food fol
the gossips." Farmer" says sit was intend
ed for the merchants to consider in their own
In tcrest and for the convenience of their GUS
toners" If the merchants of Abboville dc
not look to their own interest it is very kind
of "Fanner" to do so for them.
No one could be surprised that he should
grumble at the merchants when he finds
fault with such an efficient postmistrcSs as
Mrs. Lawson. l think it would be well il
"Farmer' would bump his head against tho
walls of contentment and stop waging war
against the clerks Of Abbcvillc,

It seems to us that all this talk about the

A man could be hired for thirty dollars a

GAFFNEY CITY, June G.-The western bound
passenger train on the Air Line Railroad was
derailed this afternoon two miles west Of this
place. The accident was caused by the spread
ing of the rails, which In the recent change of
gauge had been moved in and only partially
spiked down, leaving every other crOsstie TO
be spiked ut leisure after the great and quick
work of altering the gauge had been complct-
ed. The train consisted Of five coaches, the
sleeper and the first and sccond-class passen-
ger coaches being turned over until the tops
struck the cmbankment of the cut. The mail
and baggage coaches becume detached from
these, and although themselves dcrailed,
were carried over the crossties two hundred
yards, and remain in an upright position.
The engine never left the track. There were
twenty passengers aboard, OF whom four were
hurt. The names of the injured parties and
the extent of the injuries are beyond reach of
ascertainment at this moment. The eastern
bound train came to the wreck and returned
with the passengers of the wrecked train to
Cowpens. Medical attention WAS prompt. a
waysidc station was immediately established,
and already n large force has passed to the
scene OF the accident, which 1t is calculated
will be repaired to permit travel by morning.

Rev Robert f. Caldwell, Pastor
Of the Southern Presbyterian Church
in this city, who is at present attend
ing the Theological Seminary at
Princeton, has written a letter to the
session of the church resigning his
charge, and his resignation has been
accepted. In speaking of the letter
the correspondent of the Courier
Journal has this to say:
"Mr Caldwell, the writer of the
letter, recited i'm substance the prom
ises held out to him, and the disap-
pOintments he had realized; i'm two
years the church had not advanced a
dollar in its financial strength. In its
relation to the First Presbyterian
Church, then, he says:
"'Ihave examined the question thorough.
ly, and if had only known what l know
now, would not have accepted the call.
In all things we have not had our quarrel
just. would be blind if did not recog-
nize the fact that any man in my position
as pastor of that church, under the present
aspect Of affairs, is necessarily regarded by
many Presbyterans of both churches in the
State and elsewhere, as in the very fore
front Of opposition and hostility to the
Northern Presbyterian Church in Ken
lucky. l have no language to express my
repugnance at the thought. have no
sympathy whatever with a spirit of enmity.
1t is not the spirit of Christ. Let it be
clearly understood, however, that l am
loyal in my allegiance to the Southern
Church and to the principles which make
her separate organization; at the same
time let it be equally well understood that
] have only the best of fraternal feelings
for the Church North, and l would rejoice
to see the day when the barriers that sepa-
rate us can be forever removed. 1t
seems to me that the committee ought to
abandon every thought of antagonism, if
any still exists, to the Northern Church in
Frankfort, and that the Christian people of
the two churches should take steps looking
TO harmony and peace at least. 1t is
grievous responsibility when the variances
of Gods people become stumbling blocks
to the world, as is the case there. And
our church in South Frankfort should see
to it that the burden is no longer upon
her. '"

Now that the city election is over
and the new Board is ready to buckle
down to their work, let us have a
little rest on the grOwls, grunts and
curses of certain disappointed ones.
The people have said, by their votes,

interested in our city's welfare as any
of us, have just as much of the bur-

body. "Let us have peace"
