The Abbeville Press and Banner*! BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1893. ESTABLISHED 184|B THE SAGE OF CHICKASAW. A Timely Letter from "?. P. H.," In Whleh He ExprenNeM Several ChnnkN of Solid 8ei?*e?ConjcresaExtra SeNMlon of the LegrlMlatnre? The Stay Liiw-Ooveruur Tillman ?Approval of Preu nod Banner. Great tack of funds, low price of cotton short crop*, destructive overflows, tornadoes nod the inveterate cry, as usual, of "bard times" hnve brought about a consternation among the people. Tbey are on the lookout tor a haven to anchor their cargo of dlversl fled troubles. Congress has been called In extra cession tc bring about an amellaratlon of Mflnlrs. Tb< combined Intellect ot Uncle Sam Is at work, agreeing mid disagreeing here ? little and there a little, as to tbe beat mode or expedl ent of relieving the great mas* of the people of their load of agonizing Imaginary troubles. Almost two month* have been spent In elaborate dlBocuKstou on the inuch-vexed-puzzilng silver question or the Stierman Act. (which Is supposed to be the ruling trouble] and nothing available or a substantial character has been arrived at or accomplished. Much fine-spun argument has been elicited. Muob forensic and oratorical talent has been displayed. Much diversity of sentiment or opinion has been manifested,and lo, multum bonum pro bono publico Is lagging In lbs rear, lying dormant, as it were, secreted in ibe womb or roturuy. l'be party that has suspended business and calculating a betterment Id their silver mat' ters to be brought about by Congrers, I predict, Is going to be badly "led." "Something to sell" will come nearer of sol vlnn our financial problem, relieve our monetary trouble, than any actor Congress. As I he honorable body is tardy or Dot likely to produce any good result*, despair Is emitting a few distuned characters to resort to some other measure and are appealing to the Chler Magistrate or the Com moo wealth of the State to convene the minor "powers that be" In extra session to try their hand Id devising some method to blaze out a way la which ex tricatton will be accessible. 1 ignore (be idea 01 an extra session of the Legislature. I don't think an emergency has arlxen In the State or a sufficient cause, demanding extra Legislation. 'loo inuclt law-making Is already an existing sore evil. Would that I had the wisdom of Socrates and the eloquence or Demos mene*, i kvuiu uhuk iucm >u uv?i wuvlnce the people of Ibis all-Import nut laol. B.mnlai or.perhaps, still better, quadreunlal sessions would be adequately sulHcleut. I am at a lost to conceive any good results tbat would accrue from an extra meeting of the Legislature, but very easily can see that additions! welulit would be added to the burden of taxation. If the members received a fixed salary, I doo't suppose, It would mutter materially. Co agrees can bold extra sessions without adding extra cost to the people's taxat Ion?tbat machine is run by salaried functionaries. Quite different in the State Legislature. That body is manipulated by members drawing tnun tbe Stale Trea?ury sUp**ud? at the rate of five dollars per diem. 1 notice Bonne scared up debtors, who, doubtless, are not very scrupulously curing whether their boneKt obligations are liquidated or not, nluninmrlnu fnp thp pnorlmfiit of a StaV law. They Imagine, I presume, that such a law would effect Immediate relief; yea, bring salvxtion to the couDtry. The existence o; such a law might afford tempory rest, but the evil day would be bound to come sooner or later with redoubled vengeauce. In my opinion, It would eventually work more bardah I pa to debtors than real benefit. It would also have a tendency to destroy the credit system which I regard aR of paramount Importance?an Indispensable necessity to ttie great mam of the people. 1 don't ibink we need another law to screen rascality. We have the Homestead Act that has long ago outlived Its days of usefulness, that gives refnge and encourages rascality In no small degree. It Is a fortification that defies honesty to batter down its stronghold. Few and tar between are the persons in this country who bave an overplus of this world's good* that onn't claim protection under the n<-me?tead provisions. The majority can contract debts, and If evil disposed, can leu their creditors when demands are made, they "can mke the homestead." Poor comfort to an honest creditor. Let ub have no more such abominable and obnoxious law, tnat will foster and uphold dishonesty, but rather combat for the one exlaliog to be nullified and let honesty exercise a fail swiiy u itrammeled. Doubt lens, money matters are going to be prrtty tight, and a shortage, more or less, may occur, but let every debtor practice the clOHext economy und strain every nerve to meet his honest duet as near as possible. Wherever a disposition and a willingness are manifested by a debtor to comply with his honest obligations, the creditor, In nine cases out of ten will, exercise leniency and indulgence. Staying debts don't diminish, but mogutfles them. Let every year shoulder Its owu Indebtedness as near as possible, as we have no assurance or certainty that another / no will Ko mr\pa fruitful I repose the utmost bonfldence to our illustrious and much uncalled-for abused Governor and that be will continue to reign for the good of the people, but, il ever has entertained an lden of h slivy luw or blockade, tbat be will reconsider this serious matter and be per>uaded of It* uon-utlllty. lfy way of dlsrr-s?lon, allow the writer, Mr. Editor, a woid In your behalf. I commend your stubborn advocacy of the Dispensary Act. You certainly are entitled to much credit In Its behalf. I admire your pluck and persistency In upholdluga good law, no matter from what source It emanated or originated. You ure quite different In this particular from your allied contemporles. 0. P. H.

When the rain oomes and tbe staple is tinged the cotton now open will be iujured to some th extent. Tdls fact accounts for tbe greatde mand for cotton pickers In every field. ns In all directions we have reports to theef- ou feet tiiat tbe storm whipped out or otherwise pli destroyed the August crop, and for this re a- erj sou t>e concurrent oplnlou of all Is, that the crop '48 from twenty u> twenty-five per cent, lai she ?. of a lull crop. co /'tie usual price which Js paid for picking cr cotton in thiscouniy is40cents per hundred re pounds, though some fanners are offering on- ro iy 86 cents per hundred pounds.

Every farmer should have a few coluies of bees. Chaff makes excellent beddiug for Ither box or narrow stalls. To make bees pay, choose a place rhere there is plenty of shadrt, w ater nd honey.

Feelings of irresistible lanl guor overtake them. They are feverish and sleepy irritable, and finally _ their strength gives way and they are 0 prostrated with sickness. One of the best safeguards against this downward tendency is a plenty of . sleep. Aud the sleep in order that it may have its full effect as "tired nas ture's sweet restorer," should be taken t at seasonable hours. It is an old adage that "one hour's sleep before mida night is worth two after it." ? New York Ledger. [ Here is a good story. A certain min!of-t?r rohpn nrpRnhinc 011 cldhnhness. mentioned how he had seen a brass i monkey in his town set up in a store < with a cigar in its mouth. The cigar | >' was lighted, and by machinery the " monkey cold draw the smoke from the " cigar and puff it out again. The P works stopped on one occasion, and j the monkey was taken apart to dis- ' cover the cause, when the works were j found to be clogged and in a filthy con- 1 dition. The moral was drawn by the < i preacher thus: "If tobacco smoke i r will stop the works of a brass monkey, < e what will it do for you ?" Let our < weed-indulging people rise in answer, j ?S. S. Visitor. y arriving 1 inspect I jfl jl Mil. I A bunt Little Tongae*. .! Opinions alter with the times, and \ nany a law strictly enforced in the lome circle half a century ago has o-day been cast aside as an old-fash> ti oned or even mistaken rule. The - i Drim caution, "Children should be ieen but not heard," has nearly passed > uto disuse, and perhaps it isouite as Jo well. But for one thing, opinions TSr ^> led even in the sterner past as to the- . || uat moHinH nf fralnlno /a* (ha tahltt . . 2s We can distinctly recall the case of r jfl >ne family where it was forbidden the . % lttle people to speak while at their ' ueals, except to ask for what they wanted. There were frequently guests it the table, and it was thought improper to have the conversation shared n to any extent by children. Opposed to this was another family , \-a| arhere the parents were eqoaliy intefigent, but who held that' interconnects ihould be unrestricted at the_;feAnj|r. .? ward. It was thought to be just ilace for interchange of ideas, a relation of such events as might be of nterest.or affording excellent oppoar- \.;|j unity for discussing the sermon, the ' :oncert, or even the latest party;- ;,V^a Perhaps only two facts need be re- -'v|a sorded concerning the children of theae . % lifferent households in later years. v* rhey grew to manhood and woman- a lood equally well equipped to preside -".I vith grace tind ease at tablfes of their M >wu. But the children who were 1 ree to share the converse of the meal etainea a pieasanter remembrance or >_-a lours spent at the table In their childlood days t aan those who were subect to the rule of silence. D>?nt'i for Women. Dorothy Maddox in the Philadel- A >hia Inquirer gives the following hints o her sex: Don't get confidential. No woman reiver gave her family affairs into an- ^ ?ther woman's keeping, that she did ; lot live to see the folly of so doing. Don't tell a woman how thin or how tout she is growing. Most women oathe either extreme. Don't let your curiosity prompt you * --39 o ask embarrassing questions about 7lair and complexion. This is the ime of the year when coiffure and ikin cannot stand too close criticism.' ' j Don't discuss religion, politics, Or he divorce court, unless you are poet- ji id as to the inner life of your liseners. Don't tell a sister that she looks as ?; roungasher daughter. This implies lurprise that she has succeeded in sheating Father Time of his just per(uisites. Summing it all up in a nutshell, if rou would woo and win Mends, if fou would foster tenderness of heart ? tnd refinement of soul, cultivate tact \h, it is of all links the most perfect - r : u lurgiug luve ur ineuusuip ictwre. Sleep as a Medicine.?The cry for ... J rest has always been louder than the . jry food. Not that it is more impor;aut, but it is often harder to obtain, rhe best rest comes from souDd sleep. Of two men or women, otherwise jqual, the one who sleeps the best will be the most moral, healthy and effljient. Sleep will do much to cure ' r-j Irritability of temper, peevishness and uneasiness. It will restore to vigor an sverworked brain. It will build up ind make strong a weary body. It - vf will cure a headache. Indeed, we might make a long list of nervous and ather maladies that sleep will cure. The cure of sleeplessness requires a 3lean, good bed, sufficient exercise to * produce weariness, pleasant occupation; good air and not too warm a room, a clear conscience, and avoidance of stimulants and narcotics. For those who are-overworked, hag jard and nervous, who pass sleepless nights, we commend the adoption of such habits as shall secure sleep; 5therwise, life will be short, and what there is of it sadly imperfect. As we mingle in society and meditate in retirement, the query should not be, What impressions am I making on Ihnsft around mp fnr mvnplf? hut. What am I leading them to think ot Christ and His service? He has been molding our hearts with love. Have tve so yielded to His transforming pow?r as to impress others with a correct idea of the blessedness of the religion ^ of Jesus? jt^a
