Ancient Worship Of Animal

The figures Of the gods in ancient
Egypt were represented on the monu-
ments for ages in animal form. The
organization Of the local population
ran on totem lines. Each city had
different beast gods. In the royal
genealogies, beasts are named as an
cestors, showing that the early
Egyptians actually considered them
selves descendants of animals. The
primitive element in the early Greek
religion has been preserved in the
sacred chapters" fragments of
which have been given us by He
rodotus, Pausanias and others-prov-
ing that the oldest images of the
Grecian gods were represented in
animal form, and that the different
royal houses claimed descent from
animals, as do the savages of America
and Australia.
Mr.. j. McLennan, In his papers on
1.-THE Worship of Plants and Ami
mails, calls our attention to many
evidences that the early Romans as
well as the Greeks worshiped totems.

ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
A Story That General Horace Porter Tells
of Ancient and Modern History.

A Story That General Horace Porter Tells
of Ancient and Modern History.
At New England dinner General
Horace Porter was asked to reply to
the tsast of Woman. OF course a
story was expected from him. He
selected one that was familiar to
everybody, and this is, to degree,
the way he told it;
"Womans first home was in the
Garden of Eden. There man first
married woman. Strange that the
Incident should have suggested to
Milton the Paradise Lost Man was
placed in profound sleep. A rib was
taken from his side; from it woman
was created and she became his wife.
Evil minded persons constantly tell
us that this mans first sleep became
his last repose. but if woman be
given at times to tbs { contrariety of
thought and perversity of mind
which sometimes passeth all under
standing, it must be suggested in her
favor that she was created out of the
crookedest part of man.
THE Rabbis have a different the.
ory regarding creation. They go
back to the time when we were all
monkeys. They insist that man was
originally created with a kind of
Darwinian tail, and that in the proc
ess Of evolution that caudal append
age was removed and created into
woman. This might better account
for those caudle lectures which wom-
an is in the habit of delivering, and
some color is given to this theory
from the fact that husbands, even
down to the present day, seem to in
herlt general disposition to leave
their wives behind. The first wom-
an, finding no other man in that gar
den except her own husband, took to
flirting with the devil.
THE race might have been saved
much tribulation if Eden had been
located in some calm and tranquil
land like Ireland. There would at
least have been no snakes there to
get into the garden. Now women in
her first efforts after knowledge
showed her true female inquisitive-
ness in her cross examination of the
serpent, and in commemorative of
that incident the serpent seems to
have been doubled up into kind of
knot and used in nearly all languages
as a sign of interrogation. Then came
the exodus from the garden. Our
first parents had to change their
whole manner of living. We are
painfully reminded of it to this day
every time the tailor's or a dress.

adam and Eve were no doubt the
originators of the Fenian organiza
ton, the first people that ever resort
ed to the wearing of the green. But
then their domestic troubles began.
The woman's favorite son was killed
with club, and married women even
to this day seem to have an instinct.

learned that it was Cain that raised
the club. Woman has since learned
it is q club that raises Cain. New

IN SLEEP.

Not drowsihoo and dreams and nero idlese,
Nor yet the bl, ssedness of strength regained,
Alone are in what men call sleep. The past,
Wy unsupported soul, my parents voice.

ChestnutS.

The story Of applying to the jailer at night
to admit new prisoner, and that officer un-
locking the Jail for a mob To take out or kill
a prisoner, has been told often enough. The
Press and Banner does not believe any such
occurrence ever occurred. Any man who IL
popular enough TO be elected Sheriff, in all
II he does not he ought to know better than
10 open his jail to strangers. Sheriffs that
surrender their prisoners in this way to be
killed. ought 10 be dealt with by the courts.
The old story Of promise Of marriage, a.
told by girls who have gone wrong is a chest
not, too. The history Of mankind has long
since proven that such promises are seldom
kept, and woman has poor excuse for her
own downfall in telling the perfidy of heI
lover.
There Is another sentiment that should be
corrected, namely: That any husband has a
right to shoot and kill any other man because
Of his wife's infidellty. Men who are sensi-
tive on this subject ought to marry virtuous
and modest women. The man who shoots
another because OF his having married an un-
chaste woman should be dealt with according
to law.
"The presumption that every man Is inno-
cent until proved guilty." Is another time
honored chestnut, which might be laid away
Gentlemen of the Bar who are extremely
highly educated in the law may work this ex-
preston out theoretically, but the plain, un-
educated every day citizen can't see 1t that
way. II criminals are 10 be considered limo.
cent until they are proved to be guilty, the
plain every day man wants to know why
they are locked up in Jail and brought into
court under the most serious charges while
bearing all the badges Of guilt. The fact Is,
the officers, the State. and the Court itself u.s.
sumes that mum is guilty OF crime when he
is thrown In Jail and Is brought to trial. If
the State assumes that murderer is inno-
cent. why is he required 10 prove his limo.
cence, and In case OF failure to prove 1t, why
is 1t that jurors so often approach the danger
line of perjury to give red handed murderer
a certificate Of Innocence?

Employ Needy Persons Oh Public
Works.

AS 1t Is possible the Legislature of South
Carolina will be called upon to aid the sea
island sufferers from the recent storm, 1t
might not be amiss to ask attention 10 the
subject now.
Any gifts, or charity, beyond the immedi-
ate relief or the sufferers would be demoral-
izing In the last degree. Able-bodied men
and women need no other help than the op-
portunity to work, and they should receive
no other aid.
The trouble arises, how Is work to be found
for people at this season OF the year? ? If the
Press and Banner is not mistaken there are
thousands of acres Of swamp lands that
might be reclaimed, and there are other
thousands of more favorably located lands
which are subject to occasional overflow. II
no such lands are now in the possession OF the
Government there Is no doubt that indlvidu-
ais have the lands, as just described, and
would be willing to cooperate In this work.
Suitable arrangements could be made with
the owners for digging drains or building
dykes or levees. and all persons applying for
aid should be given the opportunity OF SHOW
elling dirt. To make gifts to people Is to en-
courage idisness, decentralization and general
trifingness among people who might 9TH
erwise do important service TO themselves
and the State.
We merely make the suggestion. Let the
Governor and our Legislators think of 1t.

philanthropy Of Advertising.

While the merchant who advertiSes Is like
other morfals, working for money, says the
Press and Printer, he is more philanthropic
than the old-fashioned, miserly disposed
dealer, who hoards every cent and stands for
profit on every side.
The pushing, progressive man, who never
lets up for dull times or rainy days. bGi
keeps things going ut any cost apparently, i
not sQuandering money even when selling
goods 'nt cost" On the contrary such a ner.
chant Is turning goods into money ami
getting ready cash with which to buy more
stock, and with such funds is able TO buy
closer than the slow going rival who doesn't
advertise. Consequently, he sells the new
purchases at low prices again ana Keeps
things moving. Yes, he IL making money
IL anyone is-but all along is sharing 1t with
his patrons by giving them low prices; prices
that the non-advertiser can't afford 10 make
and is not disposed TO II he could.
Thus the practical philanthropy OF the ad'
vertiSer becomes a benefit to every customer,
while home money-more or less, according
TO the limes-is constantly kept III circula'
ton.

Abbevlle is on the up grade and everybody
is looking forward to a prosperous business
this win ter. The demand for goods is so great
that many of our merchants are enlarging
their stocks, and new men are setting up new
places OF business. Our farmers have excel
lent crops and owe very little on them. This
condition OF the country. together with the
prospective business Of the railroad shops has
sent business and property booming. The
fear is that temporarily there will he an In
sufficiency of house room for the many fam
lilies which will be coming here in the early
days of October.

Don't Do 1t, Governor.

The papers report the Governor as having
said that he would recommend a special tax
on prohibition counties TO support the state
constables In enforcing obedience to the dis.
pensary law in those counties.
Now, we protest against any such action.
Let the law stand as it is. While the Press
and Banner is q prohlbitonist, and while this
newspaper did all that II could to prevent the
establishment of dispensary at AbbeVille'
yet when the necessary signatures were OBJ
tained, and the dispensary was established,
we and other prohibitionists accepted the sit
uation, and have given our moral support in
favor OF giving the law fair trial, and have
sustained the Governor in his efforts to sup.
press the illegal sale of liquor in every part OF
the State.
Abbeville county voted about four to one In
favor of prohibition, but If there are in Able
VILE county half dozen prohibitionists who
are not sustaining the law we have not heard
their names.
We believe the prohbitionists In every part
of the State have stuck to their principles.
and have given their support to the law, and
for this reason, If for no other, we think the
Governor owes something TO the temperance
element Of the State.
Why should he not en- force the law with
the same zeal in a dry town that he gives TO
the counties that have dispensaries
Treat all alike, Governor. Don't make fish
OF one and fowl of another. At present the
entire temperance element are sustaining
you; then, don't 60 back on any of them.
The dIspensary law has come to stay, and
Is enactment may 60 down In history as the
oh IN, fots, and
rality that has ever been accomplished b.,
any State. The facts and figures prove that
now fifty dispensaries can scarcely live, where
thousand bar rooms formerly flourish ed
and made large profits Where five thousand
men and an immense capital was formerly
employed. now only a small amount Of
money is used and only some three hundred
persons are employed in the business. Where
a thousand store rooms we're formerly used
for the sale OF liquor, now only fifty such
places are used for the liquor traffic. Former
ly the thousand bar rooms were kept open,
lighted and warmed until late at night, thus
furnishing loaf1ng places for the demoralizing
Of men and boys while offering inducements
for their enlistment in the grand army Of
drunkards Now, no such places exist In the
state OF South Carolina.
The ~brlnging about Of such a state
of affairs should not be marred by any petty
act OF spite on the part OF Governor who
contributed his part In bringing about this
moral transformation.
II the Governor had done nothing else than
to inaugurate system which has practically
abolished the liquor traffic In this State, he
would have done enough 10 make his name
60 down in history, and Of which he and his
descendeuts might we'll be proud. Then don't
put a blur and blemish on an act which
must 60 down as the most important event In
the moral conduct of the affairs OF any State.
