Abbeville Temperance Men Who DO
Not Wish to be Misunderstood
Columbia Register.
EDITOR REGISTER The call for 8
convention of Prohibitionists to be
held in Columbia on the 22nd instant
and published in the Register Of the
10th instant was signed by US, believ'
ing that it was for the purpose solely
of promoting the cause of temperance
in this State.
Since signing said paper, we see
grave charges in print against the
leaders in this matter-to wit, that it
Is their purpose to organize another OF
third political party in the State, and
this charge they have not publicly de-
MED, so far as we are informed. Now
az Democrats, we wish it distinctly
understood that we have no sympathy
whatever with any such purpose
While we favor prohibition, our con
fidence in and allegiance to the Demo,
cratic party is unshaken andwe will
not be represented as desiring to unite
in any project which may even seem
to have for it's purpose the injuring o.
that party which has brought deliver
ance to us and our State.
We have felt it to be incumbent upor
us therefore to demand-and had de
manded before we saw the call pub
lished-that tho petition which We
signed should be returned to us.
We respectfully request the publica
ton of this letter in the Register.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., May IA, 1888.
Mr.. Editor Please allow me space
to say that the call for Mass Prohibi-
ton Convention to be held in Column
bia, May % and %, so numeFously
signed by the leading citizens of the
State has nothing about third party in
it, nor is it the purpose of those who
requested signatures to this call to
form a third party. We trust your
city and county will be well represent
ed. It is left to each community to
send as many representatives as it sees
proper.
Reduced rates at hotels and on rail-
roads will be secured.
The mistake in regard to formation
of a third party was corrected by the
Nea0s and Courier of the 9Th instant,
but was overlooked by part OF the press
of the State. I enclose copy OF the
call, and will be obliged if you Will
publish. Very respectfully,
L. B. HAYNES.

We Give Him Three More Years.

DURING the last week Mr.. r. A.
Childs, candidate for solicitor, was in
town renewing and extending his &C.
ouaintance among our citizens. Mr..
Child made a very favorable impres.
sion upon the people both as a man OF
character and ability. BY the way,
the Press and Banner reports in Its
last issue Mr.. Childs as only 36 years
of age. This is a mistake; he is in his
s9th wear. The Press and Banner
will please correct this, as it is nothing
but fair to this gentleman.

The great temptation to which we
are more or less exposed is that of los
ing sight of God in the ordinary &C
tions Of the day. It is hard to feel that
every action of every day is capable OF
being so done as to advance or hinder
our growth in grace.
David walked the dawn with praises.
Have YOU rejoiced in the Lord to-day
Why should others remember lovingly
and appreciatively your efforts in their
behalf when you have been so inacces-
sible to Gods tender mercies and low
ing kindness?
No man can read the New Testament
without being struck with its pacific
spirit. The visions of the Golden Age
would soon be realized did men obey
the New Testament and cease to be
the avengers of wrong.

~ but mere knowledge is not pow
er; it is only possibility. Action Is
power, and its highest manifestation is
when directed by knowledge.
Did you say you were bored by the
sermon last Sabbath? And did your
children hear you? Maybe you will
wonder some day why your children
do not 60 to church.
Experience is the highest and most
satisfactory evidence, '"Taste and see

"War, the greatest curse of man

The uurricane Gerser.

The most wonderful of all the wonders
at the Norris Basin, Yellowstone park, IS
known as the Hurricane geyser. 1t is
recent outbreak, scarcely year old. The
crater is about twenty by thirty feet, and
is inclosed by solid wall of rock, about
ten feet in depth, to the surface of the
water, and no one can tell how far below
this rocky inclosure extends. Several
days ago we could sit on the north end Of
this rock rib and watch the torrid waves
rush down the inclosure, strike the wall
beneath our feet and sink into the earth,
to reappear at the upper end with urdi-
minished force. Now, eight days later,
we find that the boiling flood shoots out
over the wall where we formerly sat.
The Hurricane presents the appearance
of revolving liquid globe. There is a
huge bowlder in the center OF the quad
rangular crater, over which the water
dashes with such force as to give it the
appearance Of an immense wheel in per-
petual motion The intense heat may
be realized, in measure. when it is stated
that the rocks ten feet from the edge are
so hot that the naked hand only be
held on them for an instant. The water
is turbid and bears evidence OF the fact
that the subterranean chambers are be-
ing enlarged. They are evidently ab-
sorbing the material that has been dis.
charged at other geysers.-Cor st. Paul

When a Family Moves.

Society news in the daily papers does
great deal more than tell people what is
transpiring in the fashiopable world. The
owners OF moving cars watch the society
closely. rs soon rs they see that fam
ilv is to change location from one city to
another, they go after them to see what
they have to move end offer their ser
vices. Then follows the man with storage
room, then sewing machine agent to see
if YOU have anything in his line for sale,
then the second hand furniture dealer,
and last the dealer in second hand cloth
ing. and perhaps piano dealer When
marriage is announced ahead for some
months. there is the dressmakcr and dry
goods merchant to call or the ladies, the
caterer to see what he can do for the table,
and the florist to see if his services are re-
uuired. This class OF people doubtless
work up large and profitable business in
that way.-Physician il Globe-Democrat

Queer Indian Customs in Brazil.

The Indian prayer meetings in the
country are rather q singular admiXture
Of superstition and devotion. A doll is
dressed in silk clothes, with candles on
each side, q good bit of tinsel work about
it and ribbon tied about its waist. 1t
rests on the table Eight or ten Indian
men stand around. One has large
drum, which he beats continually. The
women sit on the floor, while the men
sing prayers to the saint, the women re-
spending. They commence praying about
7 or S o'clock and keep it up two or three
hours. Then the women with their little
children kiss the ribbons, asking favors of
the saint. sThe men then go through the
same ceremony. The saint is then locked
ur in box, and dancing commences and
lasts the rest Of the night. Frequent po-
tons of whisky are imbibed by the men,
coffee and wine by the women. When
the men become too drunk to dance
longer they retire to their hammocks and
sleep until sober.-Pittsburg CONNER
