The 50 bills with the portrait of Gen.
Hancock on them, are being calledin. They
have been so successfully counterfeited
that even the government experts have been
deceived. A banker discovered that the
generals eyes are looking directly at the
observer, instead of slightly to one side.
The counterfeit is the finest piece OF work
that has been seen in some time.

Robert W. Murphy of this city has re-
ceived a very fine offer for his invention
and patent on ink rollers for printing pres
ses. The chief object of the invention is
to supply roller which may be of any de-
sired length according to the form used and
which may be adjusted so as to coincide in
position to that of the form. The result is
obtained by an ingenious and readily ad-
Unstable mechanism, the composition being
cast on sleeve which slides upon the stock
and which is secured by key.

The covering of the reservoir at the
north side of the Augusta house was broken
the other day by team driving over it
loaded with coal. This reservoir was built
about 1863, and was at one time of great
service in furnishing water in case of fire.
The fire engine was taken up Thursday
afternoon and the water in ;. the reservoir,
about 100 hogsheads, pumped out. The
engine was also used yesterday to fill the
two reservoirs at Miss Sanhorn's hot house.
There were 1900 feet of hose laid from the

Truths most apparent are often
truths most neglected. 1t has been
long a proverb in many languages that
more people die from over-feeding than
from starvation, and Shakespeare
reiterates it Furthermore, almost any
one ought to see the truth of it. Ii
ought To be even more evident that
more good results are prevented, more
good causes defeated, 10y OVERRIDING,
than by the meanest neglect of them.
Nevertheless we 90 on making long
programs, crowding song upon song,
speech upon speech, adding one thing
more because it is Il good thing-and
so making it Il bad thing One good
thought will make one good address,
and five good thoughts will spoil one
good address. A dozen good stories
Will demolish the effect Of ten if not
of all of them. 1t takes not only judg-
ment, but sheer will-power, to throw
away so many nice things that it has
taken so long to think of. Butjudging
from the length of the average pro-
gram, and the number of points in
the average address,-to say nothing
of thejaded look of the audience, the
world has yet to see what good judg-
ment and will-power, in tile line of
restraint, may accomplish.

Going 10 Church.

Absence from church has become
chronic with many Christians in these
days. A heavy cloud, slight indis-
position, call of friend, any tritie is
enough to keep them from the sane
tuary. They say they can worship at
home. Sometimes they claim to find
better sermons in their papers or books.
And so the excuses run.
My friend, your position is a false
one. The public service isa necessity
to vigorous spiritual life. Private
meditation and prayer are very good,
but they can never meet all the needs
of the soul. We are creatures of SYM
pathy; Weare moved by our surround
ings. When one is i'm an assembly, he
involuntary partakes of its spirit.
There is an electric power in numbers
that lifts us above what we in solitude
would reach. AS we enter the sane
tuary we breathe its atmosphere. The
place itself has its influence. The de-
vout attitude of other worshippers
help us; the songs provide inspira-
ton. The whole service Is spiritual
tonic; to miss it is an incalculable
loss.
1t is a sufficient condemnation of
absenting ones self from church that
almost invariably when it is done a
leakage is done in the heart. Expert
ence grows cold and ifeless. Zeal suf-
fers q paralysis; the so ng of the heart
dies down to moan; the bowers of
piety wither; aspirations cease; crili-
cism and fault-finding begin the re-
ligious force ebbs away; the imdivid-
ual becomes drone in the Lords bee
hive.

Love does not puff up. AS is the

Pledge WAS No Pledge ut Ali?-

Greenwood, $. c., July 23d, 1894.
Editor Press and Banner:
Allow me to correct the very strange mis-
apprehension expressed In your editorial OF
last week under the head of "Greenwood's Is
Pledge" assuming that her promise TO erect
the public building Of the new county, az
published In your columns, was Intended by
her as a legal obligation. 1t could not be
fairly construed 10 be any thing more than
public declaration or promise OF her inten-
tion In the premises, and surely you did not
ueed the "opiniUn OF men learned In the law"
70 inform you that II was not bond or mort
gage. II you did, the Legislature TO whom
the matter will be referred will need no such
aid, GreenwoOd's legal obligation Will exist
In the form of bonds issued by authority OF the
Legislature. A bill for that purpose passed
the house last fall when the people were then
endeavoring TO establish home rule for them
selves, and an Identical bill Will be Introduced
at the next session.
These bonds will De issued for $250OO. on a
basis of nearly a million of dollars worth OF
property, every dime OF which VIII be bound
for their redemption by the most solemn safe
guards Of the law. This sum will be more
than ample TO build ~ good. If not better pub
lie buildings than those at Abbeville. The
petition and "pedge' of Green wood as pub
lished In the Press and Banner, the content Is
of which you ought 10 know, asks thai the
new county be formed with the county seat at
Greenwood, on the express condition that
Greenwood pays all expenses of public build
ings, without cost To other citizens OF the new
county, and the bill therefor will so provide.
II Green wood does not do this, there will be
no new county.
Your editorial Is susceptible of one of two
CONSTRUCTIONS: either that the signers OF the
declaration published In your paper, who
would like to manage their own affairs with
out dictatiOn from outsiders, and who repre-
sent Ut least SjOOOjO worth of property. are
grossly ignorant OF the first principles OF
business: or, that they are unreliable, un-
worthy of confidence. and are seek ing TO per

Of the dilemma do you take? We wish To
know. Greenwood Is the largest and wealth.

Are women losing anything of their
womanliness by their higher intellect
ual development and by their competi-
ton with men in the professions?
Alice Gorren, in Scribner's Magazine,
hints fear that it is 80. The educa-
ton and professionalism produce ad
mlrable results in their way, but there
is lack of "the womanly quality"
American physicians believe the strain
of the higher education units women
to fulfill adequately the essential func-
tions of motherhood, and the restless
ness, the desire for personal freedom,
instiIled in women by all the fresh de-
partures taken by their sex, leads to
disinclination to assume the graver
sacrifices of marriage, the tendency to
look upon its deeper significance as a
cross. Women will lose, and the race
will lose, if the specialization of the
sex is sacrificed to its mental culture.
