DANGEROUS WALK.
Great Risk OF Using the Railroad
Track az q Public ThorOuRhfare.

For fifty years the people OF Fort Pickens
have bad no means OF coming 70 town except
to walk on the track Of the Southern Rail-
attendant upon 30 doing, but now when eight
trains day pass over that embankment, and
when all the shifting Of the cars and engines
must be done on the same track which Is on
the narrow embankment, the citizens OF Fort
Pickena take their life In their own hands
when attempting to come to town, or return
home. Only few days ago a young lady
narrowly escaped death under the wheels. So
near was the engine TO the lady that the engi-
neer shut his eyes to keep from witnessing a
terrible tragedy.
We merely wish to call attention to the dan.
track as a walk. The railroad authorities
long since posted q notice forbidding people
to trespass on their track, and those who en-
ter upon the roadbed do 30 at their own peril.
ployed, but with hundreds of people passing
over the track every day 1t will be special
wonder II somebody is not killed.
In view OF the danger which IL attendant
indeed glad to note that the TOWN council are
now building q bridge across the stream, and
are at work on a sidewalk. which. when fin-
ished, will make the conditions so that per.
son may not, OF necessity, incur the risk OF
being killed by the train.
1t il to be hoped that the walk which has
been needed for half q century may be made
q good one. For this reason We trust the level
OF the walk through the bottoms may be 80
raised as to give good pathway at all times.
II the crest OF the hill was lowered and II the
level of the bottom was raised q most impor.
tant highway would be established. 1t would
be the most direct route to the school house
and 10 the churches, as we'll as the best route
to the business portion of the town.
The limits Of the town having been extend
ed 80 far, q large number OF people are
interested In the new road, and their taxes
for water, schools. lights and other things en-.
title them to consideration. They get very
little good Of the lights, and almost DO bene-
fit from the water. But II good and a safe
walk to town was given them, they would be
grateful. We are glad to announce that
Street Commissioner G. D. Brown is In full
sympathy with any movement looking to re-
lieving citizens from the risk OF using the
Ing memorial to his sense Of right and justice.

Sitting Still.

There seems to be no important develop
ments looking to the early building OF anoth-
or cotton mill. AS yet we believe no organ
lied effort has been made. Mr.. Mcmillan has
given option on good mill site OF ITO acres
lying in the edge of town, at $40 an acre. DR..
l.. It. Hill has a. twelve acre tract which he
proposes TO take in stock In new mill at $50
an acre. This latter tract is not far from the
public square. There are several outlying
tracts from whose owners nothing has been
heard as TO their prices. Landowners. like
town people, might find it to their advantage
to offer options on land which Is not more
than about two miles from the Court House.
Persons owning Improbable farming lands
accessible to either of our railroads, and hav-
ing good stream of water, might encourage
the enterprise by submitting options.
II the railroads and the owners of suitable
lands will lend hand another mill will yet
be built. Water and elbow room are as i'm
portant as money. The disposition nov Is TO
seek cheap lands. Lands In town cost much
more than farming lands. and the latter are
lust as good for mill purposes.

Fence Posts for Long Wear.

Timber for fence post should be cut
about the middle ofthe winter. White
oak is preferable. Split about five
inches square, and season standing IN
a shed for six months then burn the
lower end little, so it will have coal
showing from the lower end to six
inches above the ground when set,
then the burned part should be well
saturated with hot coal oil. The posts
are then ready to be set. But if not
set for some months, they should be
lift standing under shelter, with the
black end down. Post fixed accord
ing to the above showing, will last
twenty times as long as those of the
same timber that are cut and set green,
and without being burned, and the
cost of the above fixing is only about
two cents q post.

Giving Advice.

We notice that many of our exchanges have
been and are giving advice to farmers. We
learned long ago the ludiciousness Of giving
advice to any body, but the Press and Banner
at four different times tried to prove oy
occular demonstration the proftableness o.
farming. But at the close Of each seance, the
neiehbor farmers had the laugh on the prin.
ter.
We are now out of the farming business, as
we take 1t for all time to come But we are
making one more effort to make profit, not
by farming, but by grazing cattle. We have
now several head including full blood
and grade jerseys. and all sorts of scrubs OF
low degree. If we succeed as we'll at the cat
tie business as we did at farming, we will be
able to print book. and thereafter we Will
aspire to be a book farmer. Everybody
knows how easy it Is to theorize and describe
imaginery results. Book farming has anoth-
er advantage. 1t Is cheap.

SERVICE AND RESTRAINT.
The Associate Reformed Preacher
Discusses the Difference.

At the Associate Reformed church last Sun
day morning the pastor, Rev. 7. w. Sloan,
spoke entertaintngly Of the difference be.
tween heart service Of the Lord, and Rere
onformity to the requirements of the law.
Without attempting 10 reproduce his words,
he made 1t plain that religion Of principle,
which included love for the good and charity
for the fallen, was much better than that re-.
ligion which had for It's foundation the cold
observance OF the law which only restraine ed
as from evil doing. y -.
The religion OF the heart was positive vir-
tue, while the formal observance Of the law,
10 TO speak, was negative virtue.
Mere conformity to the law, which We do
not love, was q physical act, while on the 9th
or hand, spirituality Of the heart gave
strength to the individual and prompted him
to the exercise Of love to God and to the per-
formance of duty to bis fellowman.
The religion which Ia based upon the fear
Of punish ment. or the hope OF reward, is the
lower standard, where the letter Of the law
may be compiled with. while the spirit Of the
law Is violated.
The love, Of the good and the pure origi.
mates and exercises within our hearts a serv-
Ice which is always acceptable at the Throne
Of Grace, but the religion which is only sus-
tained by fear Of punishment, or the hope
Of reward, falls very far short of the require
ments which constitute true Christian.
The spirituality within tends to lead US
toward the Ideal Man, yet IL is not for fallen
man TO reach perfection.
The world has never seen but one Ideal
Man and his perfection was due 10 that spiri.
tuality, from which we should all learn the
important lessons.

Unintentional Omission to Give Prop.
err Credit.

Unintentional Omission to Give Prop.
Our respected neighbor, the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian. makes the following
statement:
"In last weeks Presbyterian DR.. T. H. Law,
Field Agent Of the Bible Society, has note
acknowledging contributions from several OF
our congregations. If any one supposes that
that is all our people have contributed for the
His territory does not cover all OF our Church.
For what he calls "this beginning of annual
contributions he expresses his gratitude.
This, is altogether misleading, for this is not
the beginning. Some of our congre cations
have been contributing long before DR.. Law
had any connection with the parent socie-
ty." They scarcely remember when they did
not contribute. How easy 1t would have been
for him to have said that many Of our con-
gregations contribute annually through the
local auxilliaries. or the country societies
we are to have any credit why let us have
credit for what we do"
In the matter Of not receiving credit, the
Press and Banner would remark. that we
have very little Idea that Mr.. Law intended
to withhold any credit that was due. His
error was based upon insufficient informa-
tion. But whether Mr.. Law gave full credit
or not, matters very little when we are sup
ported by the consciousness of having done
our duty.
It Is, however, natural for every good man
to enjoy the approval of his neighbors. but 1t
is equally true that our best effor is sometimes
pass unnotioed. and at other times an evil In
depreciation, instead OF words OF commenda-
tion, follow our most religious acts.
Speaking for this editor: when he was
younger than he is now he craved nothing so
much as the goodwill Of his neighbors, and
today he Is not by any means Indifferent to
their respect, but he has learned to take
things as they come. From some people
nothing is expected. But nothing Is so CRATE.
full as evidence Of friendship from those TO
whom we are friendly. These words are
sweeter than honey. Unkindness may be ex-
pected from three causes, namely:
l. Neglect or thoughtlessness as to the pro.
prieties. III
2. Resentment Of actual or imaginary
grievances. ~
8. Failure to subordinate our own views
to the opinions Of others. 5,
n man is conscious OF doing his duty,
with proper regard for the rights OF others,
he is safe, and when due credit Is denied he
need not suffer. We need not let our left
hand Know what our right hand doeth.

The Marriage License Bill.

The Press and Banner hopes that the bill
requiring the issue of license to marry may
be defeated. On no spot OF ground on the
face OF this globe is woman's honor 80 we'll
protected as 1t is In the State South
Carolina. All legal requirements In
reference to marriage are against woman. AS
the law now stands any public recognition Of
the marriage relation makes the parties In
law husband and wife, and the tie is binding
during life. We hope that South Carolina
may not come down from her high and hon.
ored position on the subject Of protecting her
women.

Albert Hansen, editor of the Harlan
American, and wife, and his wife's.
mother, Mrs. Nelson from Lincoln,
Neb., were Sunday visitors at the
home of his father in Elkhorn.
Albert reports business doing fine
and running along nicely.
There will be church sociable at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Den
nisen, out by West Hamlin, next
Sunday, the proceeds to go to the
church near them. All who attend
the sociable may be assured of a
splendid time and the money spent
will be used in good cause.
Nels Jensen had the funeral of
Peter Petersen's little girl, living five
miles west of Elkhorn, to attend to
last Thursday. The little ones spirit
had gone to Him who gave it and her
earthly remains were laid to rest in
Cuppy's Grove Cemetery, leaving
father and mother to mourn for the
little life I hat had been so much to
them.
Last Monday week was day OF ac-
cidents to the boys from Elkhorn who
went to Brayton for various goods.
1t was nice day but luck did not
come their way. Simon Peterson
had just got into town when his team
started to run away and almost got
away with him. Then Chris Han
sens team turned so short with him
that they broke his wagon making
him stop tor repairs. Thos. Brown
thought he'd better keep up with the
rest, SO he in some way was thrown
off his wagon and sprained his ankle.
Later those who started home might
have found Hans johnson travelling
) back along the road looking for the
tire of his wagon that he had lost,
and little farther on Walter James
could have been seen employed in the
| same way. Truly this was an event.
