The Cumberland Gap.

We have been permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract from q letter received by
Judge Cochran from the President OF the
Cumberland Gap Road, written in New York
on Tuesday last the oath instant:
ave have done nothing whatever about
changing location of our line from Abbeville
10 Greenwood"
The time for issuing the bonds having so
nearly expired that it would be impossible
for tbs railroad company TO comply with the
terms of contract to finish the road by jan
uary /, 1892, new arrangements for pledsing
the money will now have 10 be made.
Speaking itr the Press and Banner, we
would prefer that new vote be taken, under
a new law which may authorize the exten.
sion of time for Issuing our bonds. We do
not think the bonds could now be legally Is.
sued and to issue them Illegally would be
lust to neither the railroad nor the people OF
the town.
Whatever opinion individuals may hold
as to the pTopriety or expediency OF voting
bonds to the railroad. yet majority vote, un'
der the forms of law, has a binding effect
whichlshouid be, and no doubt will be, recog-
nlzed by oil.
II the railroad officers will make some def
mite offer, and pledge themselves, in proper
guarantee to carry out their proposition, we
have no doubt that the town will do It's
whole duty In the matter. and do 1t cheer
fully, but we are beginning to be tired Of do
Ing everything ourselves. We are fatigued
with vague or gllttering promises.

The industrial School.

Nearly every newspaper in the State is
talking up the importance OF securing the
Wofnan's Industrial School.
Abbeville has wasted much Of her breath
on ra ilroads whose benefit. If secured at great
cost, would be problematical, but as far as
we can see no special effort Is being made to
secure the location of the Woman's Indus.
trial College in our town. The presence OF o
fine State Institution will be Of lasting bene'
fit to the town which gets 1t.
The addition Of other railroads TO our facil'
tiles may possibly be Of benefit. but OF the
advantages of fine school there can be no
doubt.
The advantages Of factory is not denied
by any, but nobody seems to care more for 1t
than they do for College.
If an equal amount of money or bonds,
which we proposed to give for additional
railroads. were pledged for factory or a col
lege, we feel sure that one or the other could
be secured.

Newspaper Ethics.

We copy from the News and Courier an ar
ticle on Country Newspapers"
Like the News and Courier, 1--WE fear that
there is a lack OF fellowship among the jour-
nalistS Of the State" and we believe that
there has been among us too much eagerness
to say ill.mannered or ill-hRmored things OF
each other.
We would note the circumstance which we
had In mind when we wrote the paragraph
which our contemporary quotes. Not long
ago we copied contributed article. from the
Register, and through carelessness on oui
part, and nothing else, we failed to give the
proper credit. That paper Immediately made
itself disagreeable and we were In no frame
of mind to try to give the recently retiring
editor the notice to which his merits and his
ability SO much entitled him.

Divorces.

The Columbia State is discussing the d.
yorce law, and asks It's conte mporaries 10
give their views on the subject. 1t may be
that we are intolerant blinded, or prejudlced,
but, without attempting to give reasons
therefor, we are unalterably opposed to di.
vorce. We think legal Mormonism, or po
lygamy, more in accordance with justice and
equity.
II marriages are TO be terminated at the
pleasure OF either party, then the wording
or form o! the marriage VOW should De
changed to something like this:
.As long as the relation may be agreeable
to both parties :" or "for, and during the
term of one year," with the understanding
that, as in the case Of lease of land. the
contract shall be considered and renewed
and binding for the each succeeding year,
until notice OF desire and change is given
by either party"
By making simple and easy form OF mar.
raxe, the trouble and expense of divorce
,-gould be saved.
The expense OF divorce Is quite an
item.
In South Carolina husband and wife may
separate, If they make 1t too hot for each
other. Better let a few mis-matched couples
suffer the penalties Of their folly than to In
terfere with the sacredness OF the marriage
relation.
One difference between polygamy and d.
vorce is; In polygamous countries the bus
band may marry as many wives as he chooses
and line them, but In divorce granting coun
tries, the husband must put away wife be-
fore marrying another.
We want no blot on our statute book
against the sanctity OF marriage. All mar
riage licenses are against women.
1t was once said In our hearing that In no
part of the earth was woman so well protect
ed as In Scotland and in South Carolina.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1891-04-29
In It TOadyism /:

Why the Southern cities should 60 crazy In
giving Harrison and Wanna.naker receptions
is beyond our comprehension, and can only
be accounted for In spirit or toadyism.
Harrison and Wannamaker are not friendly
to the South. Mr.. Harrison pushes the Force
Bill, and Mr.. Wannamaker has exercised his
spleen against the people Of the South more
than any other officer at Washington. He
has removed more Confederate widows, to
place Objectionable characters in office than
was ever done before in the history of the
Govern ment.
We do not think Harrison and Wannama.
ker should be lynched, but we think they
ought to be allowed to 60 through the South
without insult, molestation or injury.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1891-04-29
Why the Difference :

The Columbia State seldom fails TO come
nv the l0:40 train. Then why not bring
Ms the Register and the Evening Record by
the same train? Is 1t private enterprise thst
gives us the State. or is it Railroad partiality
that deprives US of the other dailies? II the,
State goes to extra trouble and expense to
send the morning paper here by first train
the enterprise OF our contemporary is 10 be
commended. If 1t is the Partially OF the
Railroad folk that deprives US OF the other
papers, we would ask Capt. Dodson To forbid
his employees TO lend themselves to any such
q scheme. The Railroad should neither
build up one paper nor tear down another,
but should be equally accommodating to
au. If the discrimination is due 70 Railroad
fayoritism, we venture to suggest that Cap
lain Dodson will see aboat it,
