Bibles.
A Little Talk on Bibles and How they
NAV be Obtained.

Surprise is felt at the report Of the great
destitutIon which exists In and around Nc
Cormick in the matter OF Bibles Many
families are stated TO be without q Blole. Es'
pecially when we recollect that the AbbeVille
district Bible Society, which meets In annual
meeting at Abbevile on the 2oth instant, has
offered TO supply Bibles to the county, ano
also the fact that a Branch Society was FORM
ed at Mccormick for the special purpose OF
overlooking that community.
The following resolutions were passed oy
the District Society at Its annual meeting IN
1883. and have been circulated In the county,
in evidence Of sincerity:
Resolved. 8. That the Branch Societies are
requested TO send TO the Librarian (W. a.
Templeton of the District Society memo.
randum OF the Bibles and Testaments needed
TO meet the demand for them in their respec.
tive communities. And TO the Treasurer lW.
A. Templeton) as large contributions as they
can Of money when practicable
aud more destitute com mmunities may be sup.
piled, and that the librarian be authorized 10
supply the destitution as far as practicable. :,
Resolved, 4. That the Branch Societies and
the members of every church In Abbevlle
County are requested to make an active can.
vas so as to ascertain the families IN their
respective communities who are without the
Scriptures, and report the same to the Presl-
dent (Rev. w. NJ Grier. d. d. OF this Society.
Resolved, S. That the Branch Societies are
au thorized to donate books to needy persons
who are unable or unwilling to pay for them.
but In all cases to sell the Bioles' II practlca-
BILE.
Resolved 8. That every church In the coun.
ty be urged to make contribution In money
10 this Society, and whenever practicable TO
take up collection for It's benefit. -.
Resolved 7. That the District Society will
always sell to applicants Bibles and Testa'
ments at actual cost, and donate them In
cases where the applicant is unable to pay Tor
them.
II was also subsequently, resolved that the
Society would furnish Bibles and Testanients
ments To Sunday schools at one half the &C
tual costs OF the books.
Thus IL will be seen that the District Bible
Society Is willing and offers TO furnish Bibles
and Testaments to all persons needing them
at cost, half cost, or for nothing, and II Calls
upon all Christians to assist them In this
work. The responsibility for any destttu tion
In the matter Of Bibles rests with the Brancn
Societies and the churches OF the County.

Advertising Agents and Guillible
Newspapers.

Asa rule, the newspapers are always gen.
erous towards schools and colleges. We be-
lieve that they seldom deny any reasonable
request for the publica ton of notices OF ed
ucational institutions.
Not satisfied with the former generosity
ON the part OF the newspapers. some OF these
institutions are forming combinations with
alleged newspaper advertising agents for the
purpose OF still further beating the printers
and putting money In the pockets Of middle
men.
For instance: Some time ago Prof d. B
johnson and Mr.. Roswell T. Logan entered
into com mbination Of this sort whereby Mr.
Logan would make liberal commission by
handling the advertisement which Mr.. John.
son virtually admitted his incompetency tc
manage, or FURNISHED proof OF his lack OF
willingness to do the necessary work in send
ing out the advertisements OF the Winthrop
Training School. This advertisement was
offered to the Press and Banner at half price
and was promptly declined. The matter be-
ing mentioned before the Press Association
last week, It dropped out that other news
papers had been made the same offer, and the
money had been returned.
Now, we will ask Prof johnson and Mr.
Roosevelt T. Logan what became OF the money
which was 30 returned. Whether true or not,
we are under the impression that Mr. John
son paid to Mr.. Logan public money which
has not yet been expended.
Let Mr.. Logan and Prof. johnson give. II
they have acted right, an itemised statement
of this hidden affair.
A little broad open daylight on this lit
tie transaction would no doubt be refreshing.
Last week Mr.. Roosevelt T. Logan sent US
the Citadel advertisement. with Instructions
to charge him s., less 25 per cent. TO get that
advertisement in five inches, 1t would be set
In nonpareil, as solid as q brick. We gener.
ally gave 1t good heading and charged for 1t
s..
Mr. Logan can't come his agency game
on the Press and Banner. If he represented
himself as our agent he did an unauthorized
act. as We now employ no agents, and allow
NO one any agents commission.
The Press and Banner can live without
either the advertisements OF the Winthrop
Training School or the Citadel, and II they
appear In these columns they will do 80 at full
rates, except in cases where we may be will
my TO make accessions to the institutions
themselves.
Mr.. Logan may 60 to the principals OF these
institutions and have their orders to this
newspaper stopped, but we make this public
announcement that Roosevelt T. Logan Is not
authorized to act as agent for the Press and
Banner. He can get no advertisement insert
ed in this paper except at regular rates; and
II advertisers choose to hire him to do their
bot to xhotr md M
We feel that we are fully competent TO at
tend to our own business. whatever the Win
thop Training School may think OF Its
own ability to attend to small matters. and
however willing the Citadel Academy may
be to divert little money into the pockets Of
their neighbor Charlestonian.

ImpOiitic SOutherners.


The Southern people, as a rule, are consist
emily impolitic.
Charleston In her overrighteousness seems
disposed to set the dispensary law at open de-
fiance, and her newspapers and the despatch
es which are sent out from that city in refer
ence to the arrest Of violators OF the law has
had the effect Of incensing large proportion
of the people nom the county where the law
is ooeyed.
As matter Of policy. It would have been
better for Charleston to have yielded grace
fully, than tosufYer the humiliation of being
made TO do later on what she should have
done at first.
The Press and Banner believes the Charles
ton and the Columbia papers know very little
OF the sentiment Of the people outside OF
their own cities. It seems to us that the peo-
pie OF Charleston are laboring under some de-
lusion that they can now lead or bulldoze the
country people.
The accounts sent ont about the action OF
the city people In the arrest OF one Chicco
who thought TO make money by violat'
ing the dispensary law. has incensed many
people, and II 1t has excited indignation
against Tillman anywhere. we have not
heard Il, though the act may have furnished
occasion for those who are opposed 10 the
law. TO make further expression.
1t may be some qualification to speak OF the
State constables a. spies, but we fail TO see
wherein they are more chsrgeable with being
'spies" than are other detectives.
The fact Is. the dispensary law has shut up
a large number of bar rooms in Charleston.
and the newspapers seem TO be greatly exer-
cised thereat. The prohibitionists every.
where are gratifed at the curtsilment Of the
drink habit

NEW CASTLE, May 1S.-Aithough the
river has been very rough the last few
days. the fishermen nothing daunted,
ARE working indefntigably to ensure
the too hsome shad. Many boats
awaited their turns at the piers this
morning, the first tide available being
about O'Clock.
One theory advanced for the scar.
lefty OF shad is that the refuse from
the oil works on the shore above here,
being thrown In the river, makes the
water obnoxious to the fish. With
tho exception OF about one good haul

had much luck.

TIE Mouunsnt 70 Gsneral susyth.
Notwithstanding the meanneos oil
the last Legislature, which refused Il
make an appropriation toward erect,
Ing u monument. to Major General
Thomas A. Smyth, Il IL an assured
fact that the monument will be erect
ed. As soon as Memorial Day has
passed. the members OF tho Grand
Army intend to get to work, In fact
they will commence on the night OF
Memorial Day, when a-patriotic war
drama Will be presented at the Opera
House, the proceeds OF which after de
Quoting expenses will be applied to this
purpose. The monument, which will
be located on the Brandywine near the
end of Washington street bridge, will
not cost less than $4,000, and while the
members OF tho q. A. II. are willing
to contribute according TO their means,
lit is neither right or just to expect
them to bear the entire burden them
selves.
II 10 therefore expected that the
liberal and patriotic citizens will as.
assist them In this very worthy under
taking, as by honoring General Smyth
they honor themselves. When the
word came that the old flag had been
trailed in the dust by traitors hands.
Thomas A. Smyth was employed in
one OF the Industrial establishments
OF this city but as soon as the cali was
made for troops. he threw aside his
working clothes and rendered his
services to his country. He fought
his way up until after four years OF
hard work he was created Major
General. Three days before the sur
render OF General Lee he was killed,
and thus laid down his life for the
country he loved. Surely 1t will be u
privilege to honor tho memory OF
such hero, and when the time comes
the citizens will vie with each other
lin handing In their contributions.
