touched with sympathy. Beg;gars
generally have certificates ol
their distress at home and go. abroad
among strang&s ancTurge their claim
in a manner that not unfrequently
^ makes the business a profitable one.?
? Npw, we claim to have as much of the
milk 'of human kindness as any one,
and never refuse to give more or less to
' a benevolent^purpose, wnen we ieej
called; ,^ipou" to do^so, but, we arc
opposed*- to strolling --beggars." Last

whether he^'as waa'ted or not at one
of our hotels. 'We did not see this
man's paper and know nothing whatever
of him, but wo think it shamefu!
in a man, whom we believe admits thai
he owns a farm, coming here and beg
ging charity from people who own nc
property and are compelled to work
every day for their bread. We think
beggars should be required to take oul
a license to be permitted to follow tin.

prohibited from following the business.
The government in its benevolencc
has provided comfortable quarters ami
wholesome food for those who are not
able to support themselves, and whenever
a community does not feel like
supporting their own indigent neighbors,
we are in favor of sending them
there to be maintained at the public expense.
P. S. Since - the above was put in
.type we learn, that he had an accomplice.in.a
young man who registered
his name at the hotel as \V. K. L'rane.
The young man would talk before those
about the hotel in themo.st sympathetic
manner, and on one occasion, was so
tender hearted as to say, "Old man, I
wish I had a thousand dollars, I would
give it all to you." AVe warn our people
against all such straggling impostors.?

be gratifying to those who gave him
articles to know that he sold them al

Tiik Danger ok Fixing a Clock.Abbeville
County not long since canu
very near losing a good citizen, an ellicient
clerk in the Probate's Oliice, ami
the best pensman "this side the brinj
deep." It occurred in this way: Mr.
Wosnansky who is ?f a mcchanical
turn of mind, and puts his hand at almost
anything, recently consented U;
"fix" Maj. Small's clock, which was setting
upon a high mantle board, and t<
save trouble the Major put a chair on
the top of a box and held the chair
wliilo* M>_ Wo-snumskv stood five fee!
above the floor and worked away at the
clock. Soon the old gentleman became:
.absorbed in the work and let the chair
loose -when it turned. Mr. Wo.smansky
feli to tiie floor drawing the clock with
ljicu, which was broken into smithereeas,
while the weights went through
the floor. Kor some time Mr. Wosmanfcky
was iu doubt as to whether Mrs.
W. was a widow or not. Finally, by
the Major's assistance he was enabled to
get up, and, is now hopeful or recovery.
Since that time he takes down clocks to
repair them.
Abbeville is blessed in many respects,
but more especially is it so, in
having a good post master. This office
is one of importance, as from two thousand
to three thousand dollars worth of
money orders are sold here every week.
To attend to the large mails received
and distributed at this office in connection
with the money order business requires
no little work, aud where so
much is done, method and system are
necessary. For a reliable, liberal and

country can boast of a better, and few
have an equal. Such an officer is Mr.
H. y\r. Law son.
Target Shooting.?We learn that
Wesley Anderson, a colored noun of the
masculine geuder, living on a farm
near Phoenix, one day last week,
felt like having some sport at target
shooting, and after selecting a target,
which was the person of a man, with
wrhom he had exchanged some unpleas,
ant remarks, placed his artillery in posilioi?
and brought his battery to bear
upon the aforesaid* 'man and brother,"
and fired, the ball taking effect in the
leg, wounding his enemy so badly, that
lie died in a little whil?.
We Ixad the pleasure of greeting last
iveek in our office our old friend Capt.
James T. Baraes, of Lowndesville. He
.says that lac can't get on without the
Press and Banner, and lias invested
.two dollars where it will do the most
good. He savs our paper is a favorite in
his family. The Captain, as will bo remembered,
had the misfortune ro lose
his house by fire, a year or two ago. Ht
is not discouraged, however, but is hope
fill of a bright future. We know how
fire treats a man anil can truly appreciate
a losf of that kind.

Proper Way to Advertise.
The New York Times points out th
absurdity of attempting to secure th
public patronage by the current mode (
distributing circulars, and other lik
styles of advertising, which serve rati:
I .... nt.nl flion oHlVlpf. f 11 >! t () 1>1 . 'I'll

natural conclusion of the public is, tlu
that must be a poor article which cai
not pay to secure its legitimate place i
the newspaper. The Times says:
"For when probable purchasers,Jdecci
respectable folk with money, wish ft
anything, and do not know exactl
where to go for it, they look into the at
vertisiug columns of some respectabl
newspaper, oud there, under its propt
head, they find that they want?that i:
if the dealer has been wise enough I
advertise in a discreet and a prolitab!
way, instead of wasting his substanc
upon a sort of anouncement which i
best, is useless, and which with the be
terclassof buyers might cast suspieio
upon him. Newspapers have becoit
j the accredited and well-established in<
dium of all kinds of anouncements totli
[public. From a proclamation of th
liiead of the govoernment to the ai

wants a place, communication with tli
, public is naturally and property comluc
ctl through newspapers. It could n<
well be otherwise, considering the plat
which the daily newspaper holds i
modern civilization. Advertisemem
in newspapers have therefore, a propri<
ty, a sort of legitimacy, and a weigl
which pertain to advertisements in n
other form. A discreetly-worded ad
vertisement in a respectable paper is i
itself a sort of promise of discretion an
respectability on the part of the advert
ser. Irregular and fanciful advertisi
ments, on the contrary, are likely to <1
something at least to cast suspicion, i
these very articular?, upon the perso
who makes use of them."
