We copy from the Greenville News in our
supplement of this week, the replies in an
swer to the questions which were recently
sent out by the editor of that paper.
We copy the document in full.
We do not know how else TO give compre
hensive or satisfactory report OF the trend Of
public sentiment, as given therein.
The different opinions or judgments per
tanning to that paper are varying, and If we
failed to publish it. and gave our own opin
ion Of its indication of popular sentiment
those of our readers who might see the Green
willie News might think our judgment al
fault, and those with whom we might differ
might attribute to US prejudice or lack o
ability to see it as they think 1t really is.
Because of this condition of facts, we repro
duce every word of 1t as it came from the
Greenville News last Saturday.
1t is the best and most reliable reflex of pub
lie sentiment that we have seen, and we do
not see how better could be had.
. Its arrangem ent and bearing seems to be en-.
tirely from journalistic standpoint, and we
believe that each correspondent is fairly rep
resented.
The facts are before our readers.
They are fully competent TO see for them
selves which way the wind blows, and our in.
dividual opinion OF the import or meaning oI
that paper can be OF no Importance to any
man who has the facts before his eyes.
Let each man draw his own conclusions.

HBur1eI Aliye.S

We have seen many paragraphs OF late'
which refer with more or less visor or certain
ty to the supposed fact that some person or
persons were buried alive. Such accidents
could not we'll happen in this section of the
country for the very convincing fact that 1t Is
the rule to Immediately strip nearly all clolh-
ing and covering from those who may be sup
posed to be dead. This action insures death
to those whose animation has been suspend
ed. No man hereabout, even in perfect
health, could survive being stripped and laid
out in cold room on plank, with no other
covering than sheet. Such treatment Of
feeble person would be sure death. Our read
ers need never fear being buried alive. They
may be "lald out" alive, but their friends will
be certain to see that they freeze to death be-
fore they can be buried. The newspapers
ought to get up more plausible story than
that Of burying people alive.

HOUSE BURNT.
The Same Old Story About Ready
Cash Being DesfrOyed...Thc Money
should Have Been In Bank,

Alfred Wardlnw, nm old colored man living
near the village, had the misfortune TO loss
his dwelling house last Thursday while he
house and all that IL contained were Il total
loss. Origin of The fire unknown, but sup
posed 10 be an accident.
He, like very many bersons who meet with
misfortune, came to town for material aid.
Approaching this editor on the subject we
learned from Alfred Wardlaw that he owned
three acres of land on which his house was
burned. He rented land to cultivate, and
plowed all OK. He was saving money with
which he expected TO buy mule next Sale
Day. He had paid his debts, and had hid
away in some secret recess of his castle SIS,
and he seemed greatly disa ppointed at his
loss OF the ready cash. while lie bemoan ed
the loss Of bis household effects.
We relate The above facts for the especial
purpose OF impressing upon our readers the
importance of deposting their ready cash in
one OF our banks.
Business men in town are not willing TO
rlsksmuch money In their own Iron safes. al
though there arc watchmen on the square ev-
cry hour OF the night. They take their cash
to one OF the banks. Deposits are made dai-
ly. Result. they never have money burned
or stolen.
But people living In the country seem to
think that old hair trunks, bu. eau drawers,
OF chests are good enough To hold their ready
cash. Result, their money Is often stolen or
burnt.
Alfred Wardlaw, the subject of this sermon,
failed TO greatly excite our sympathy for the
simple fact that he lives wiLhin Il shOit dis.
tance of our banks that would have glad: y
taken care of IL without charge, and we were
less sorrowiul for him because he utterly and
absolutely disregarded the advice we have SO
often given.
The, Farmers Bank has been catering for
the Savings Depar lment of that institution,
and not only takes good care of ready
cash, but actually pays interest on the depos-
is. The bank has llltle savings boxes which
il gives out 10 customers. The National
Bank, hose credit and ability is as solid as
the rock OF Gibraltar would have gladly
tukcn care of his money.
II Alfred Wardlaw had taken bis S75 to
either Bank he would have been better of
than he is to-day. He is a worthy old man.
and deserves sympathy because OF his care
lessness In the management OF his money.
But he ought to have read the Press and Ban.
ner, and he ought 10 have done as we have
sald-put his money in one of the Banks.

PUTTING ON AIRS.
a Country Male Gets Scared at Pile
of Sand in Town.

Last Saturday Mr.. T. s. Gordon, sent his
wagon and team TO town. The wagon was
loaded with bale of cotton and negro.
rhe mules came along, sleepily and quietly
until they reached the big pile OF sand lying
on the street In front Of Mr.. w. N. Graydon Is
dwelling. The unusual sight In town fright
ened the country mules, when they ran off
down the street as fast as they could run.
The gentleman from Africa, who was sitting
on the bale OF cotton holding the lines SEEM
ed much interested In the movement. Al.
though the town was full OF people he paid
no attention to anybody. He seemed to be
conscious OF the fact that he was the observed
Of all observers. Proceeding down the street
as fast ms possible, the mules met with no OBJ
>truction until they came near the public
scales, when one wheel struck tree, the
wagon stopped suddenly, the bale OF cotton
moved to the front anu Knocked out the dash
boaid. AS for the negro and the mules they
made no perceptible halt just then. The
mules ran on while the negro seemed to fly
until he struck the ground some distance III
front OF The wagon. Bystanders thought the
negro was killed, but he was soon on his feet,
and running after the mules that were career
ing around the square with harness and
whif1ie trees dragging.
