The Sunday Mails.

We respect the objection which pious peo
pie urge against the Sunday malls, as long ns
they have no interest in receiving the mails
on that day, yet we withhold judgment ir
the cases of pious prattlers and religious rant
ers against the Sunday trains. as long as we
know they are the first to avail themselves u
the advantages Of Il Sunday mail.
Take, for instance, the Daily Register Thai
paper made very effective appeal to the re-
ligious sentiment OF the country on the qucs
ton of Sunday trains and Sunday mails, bu,
took good care to be among the very first to
avail itself of their advantages. The Register
comes here on Sunday.
When people quit eating warm dinners or
Sunday, and refuse to go for their mail or
Monday until the usual hour for receiving the
mails on week days, we will always believe
in the sincerity OF their opposition 10 Sunday
trains.
But we too often

HER YOUNG WERE SAvED.-A herd
of 5000 beeves were toiling over the
lonely trail from New Mexico to Kan
sas, says correspondent, leaving be-
| hind them, across the grassy plains
and valleys, swath as bare as if 1t
had been swept by the fiery breath Of
simOom.
Suddenly the leader Of the herd, q
huge steer, started back In terror, gave
vent TO snort of warning, and NOV
ing to the right passed on. Those inn
mediately in his rear turned to right
or left, and their example was follow
ed by each long horned pilgrim az he
reached the dreaded spot.
When the herd had passed, a wide,
trampled track lay behind; but near
the middle of this dusty space stood
luxuriant island of grass three feet In
diameter.
A herdsman rode up to spot and dis
mounted, expecting to find rattle
snake, a creature of which cattle, as
well as horses, have all instructive and
well-founded dread. Instead Of a SER
pent, however, the grass tuft contained
only harmless kildee plover, cover
! ing her nest, while her wings were
kept in violent aud constant motion.
Seen indistinctly through the grass,
she had evidently been mistaken by
the steer for ratlesnake.
She did not take flight even at the
cowboy. but valiantly .pecked at his
boot as he gently pushed her to one
side to find that the nest contained
four unddedged kildees.

Several Good Suggestions.

There was the young man who was
heard to assure the elderly man to
whom he was presented that he was
very glad, indeed, to meet him. Now
no doubt he was, for the elderly man
was one of the distinguished men Of
his state, and the youngster was really
very modest at heart. But would IT
not have been in better taste to let the
kindly assurance come from the man
of years and distinction, rather than
from the untutored youth who had
nothing to offer?
Worse than he is the young fellow
who goes about among his women
friends as loug as he has any arologiz-
ing profusely for not having called up
on them lately. Assuming that 1T Is q
matter of grave Importance to me
whether he ever calls or not" said
Genevieve, scornfully, a few days ago
when Tom Bigbee openly mourned
his negligence Of her Inequalities.
Not quite SO bad, but still to be re-
GREETED, is the young man or woman
who tells you that you look 'just like
a very dear friend" Who cares to
have his individuality duplicated, and
why, if he must be told il, should not
have the com fort of being the one to
whom the other is compared? Notice
YOUR sub conscious self some time and
see how much more easily you take
the information when you are told
that the other fellow looks like you 90
when you are only that you look like
him.-New York Evening Sun.

The Prohibition Convention.

The prohibitionists OF this State held con-
vention last week in Columbia. and deter
mined TO take hand in the coming cam
paign. In this we think they did right.
There never was time which was more fl.
vorable for the agitation OF this question, aad
all lovers of temperance should now put forth
their best efforts.
All candidates should be given an opportu-
nifty to define their position. and no prohibl.
tic,nist should vote for any candidate for the
Legislature who refuses to give an unequivo-
col definition.
, The Executive Committee should prepare
the questions and the same should be put to
the candidates in every county.
The Executive Committee should not do as
others have done, neglect to provide for the
enforcement OF a prohibitory law-lf enacted
Heretofore prohibitionists have been salts
fed with the enactment Of u proh1bitory law
without making even the pretense of pro
vision for its enforcement. The law will nol
enforce itself, and it is unreasonable to sup
pose that neglected law, with no one to See
that 1t is enforced, will stop The sale of whis
key.
Let the committee give candidates an op
PoituAitS !" PieoSe theulSelNes ol luls point
We need an officer in the pay of the Govern
ment, TO look after the enforcement Of this
law.
The sale OF liquor Is generally believed to be
an evil, If so, then we as law-abiding, as q
moral, or as Christian people should at least
make an effort TO stop it.
We hope the Executive Committee may dc
their whole duty, and the people will dc
theirs.
The election of Tillman or Sheppard is q
matter OF tritiing Importance when weighed
against the liquor traffic.
While the Press and Banner will not es
pouse u personal canvass for any man, yet we
expect 10 exert our utmost power to advance
the cause of temperance.
II there are five candidates for the Legisla
ture pledged to the prohibitory law, We expec,
to vote for them regardless OF their political
opinions, and we will strive TO see that the
cause Of temperance in Abbevilld county
wins at the ballot box.
The temperance people are very much In
earnest in this matter. and we will be disap
pointed if they do not work lor the glory o.
our Maker, and for the welfare of their fel
bowman.
Let our preachers everywhere preach
on this subject, and let every conscientious
Christian vote TO remove the emptation from
our weak brethren, and let them use their in
fiuerce in favor Of closing the doors OF the In
stitutions that entice our young men to hab
its which lead to inebriety.

A Platform that Needs Defence.
coyo ~, q \, Nauz 80 49, =. - =


Senator Irby, OF South Carolina, insists that
the platform adopted by the Democratic
Suite Convention or that State last week con.
tains only genuine Democratic doctrines. II
will be remembered that the convention
adopted the Ocala platform without max Ing
any material changes In II.
But If there is DO donbt that the platform
contains only genuine Democratic principles
why does Senator Irhy think II necessary to
say anything In defence OF II? Is II not be-
cause.iL needs defending?.
Senator Irby has assisted In the adoption OF
other Democratic platforms and he did not
fee, called upon to defend them.
The reason was that II was apparent TO ev-
cry one that they were Democratic from be.
ginning To end. But that the platform he
helped to adopt last week is Democratic is
not so apparent And that is why, doubtless,
he Is ont in an Interview.
The fact is. the platform he defends would, @
with lew additions. he pretty gooa nri In,ra
sion OF II that will be approved, and that is
that the Democratic party OF South Carolina
will vote for Mr.. Cleveland If he Is the party's
| nominee.

Why Not Go 10 Church l.?

Abbeville may he said to be city OF
churches, but many OF our citizens do ho'
regularly attend divine worship.
We do not pretend TO account for this state
of things, but we speak Of what we believe 10
be fact.
We have more fine churches and perhaps
as many empty benches on Sunday, as can De
| found elsewhere in any town of equal size.
| If this Is true, there is cause. II IS not
sufficient for the Christian to draw the sKlrls
of his garments about him as he passes the
loafer on the corner, but he should, rs labor
| er in the Lords vineyard, invite him to the
temple.
| II Is moi sufficient for the preach or TO pro
nounce anathcmas, in the presence of empty
benches, upon those who are beyond the call
Of his voice. More than this is needed. Has
he made his services interesting? That Is the
question. If he has done so, has the congrc-
CATION done its duty in making welcome the
stranger and the wayfarer? II they have not
have they done their duty?
| Itis common for Christians to excuse them
| selves for the absence of those in the high
ways, by charging them with neglect OF their
own highest duty, while making no effort 10
bring them into the church. DO they nor
seem to act sometimes as If they were not
! their brothers keeper?
II must be beneficial to any memoer Oh the
human family to attend divine service. IL
matters not what the motive for being AT
church-whethcr 10 show fine clothes TO see
a friend, or even TO gain the good opinion OF
| the church members-it is well for him to be
within the sound of the preachers voice. even
| for IL short time. There is a purity and q holi-
noss associated with the divine worship
in these temples which invariably benefits
| and eHalts the individual.
If those who stay away from church could
realize the educational advantages-to say
nothing of the spiritual side Of the question
OF listening to a learned discourse from any
Bible text, they would be more frequently al
church, and they would, therefore, he better
educated, and better prepared for the every
day pursuits Of LIE.
If there be any who shrink from going into
any Of the churches, they might go into the
Court House on Sunday morning, where there
is always the greatest room for everybody
1t is the peoples house, and those VINO %o1-
ship there will pe glad Of the presence OF any
and all.
But, to 60 to any OF the churches, for what
ever motive, Is better than wasting the time
in idleness around the street corners.

Money Circulation per Capita.
To Transfer Prints to Glass.

First coat the glass with damar var
nish, or Canada balsam dissolved in an
equal volume of turpentine, and let it
dry until it is very sticky, which takes
balf a day or more The printed pa.
pei to be transferred should be well
soaked in soft water. and carefully
laid upon the prepared glass, after re-
moving the surplus water with blot
ting paper, and pressed upon it SO that
no air bubbules or drops water are seen
underneath. This should dry whole
day before touched !; then with wetted
fingers begin to rub off the paper at
the back. If this be skillfully done,
almost the whole of the paper can be
removed, leaving smplythe ink
uponthe varnish. When the paper
has been removed, another coat
of varnish will serve to make the
whole more transparent. This recipe
is sold at from three to five dollars by
itinerants.-Chicago Druggist.
