A Word to Reporters.
When writing to the Pre** and Banner that
the Rev. Mr. 8<xuid-8o preached last Sunday
from a particular text, please give the word*
and not the reference to where they may be
found. In these days of telephones and telcYrnpba,
who U It that has time enough to go
oir und borrow a Bibte in which to hunt up
the text? The presumption that people hud
ao much time and cariosity might have done
forty years ago. but it wont do now. We
have quite a readable article ia our office on
a religious subject, but to find the Hcrlpture
references to which it alludes would require
three Maths of constant labor. For this
reason, if for no other we are compelled to
withhold it from oar columns. we can mu-i
k eelve of no greater bore than an article Ailed
with refeiwices to pnrtlculur chapters, verses,
and books in the Bible. and such references
will hereafter be omitted fr*m the columns of
the Pretntutd. Ihuuurr. If-the writer fiUls to
hunt up his quotation*, we shall not ask the
reader to do so.

The Pea*j-Reading-.
The Abbeville Penny-Reading Clab met
lust Friday night at the house ut W. H. Parker.
Ksq. There was*very large attendance,
some seventy or eighty being resent. The
entertainment eonsisted of a choice selection
of readings, piaao-raurie and singing, and?
let us not Jbrgefc to mention?delightful refreshment*.
The readings were beautlfully
rendered *ad enthusiastic applause was given
to the gentlemen and t he young ladies who
contributed no much to the pleasure of the i
evening. The vocal dueU, Quartets and cho- i
ruses were ranch enjoyed. The ladles of the
Penny-Reading Club deserve and receive the
hearty thank* of our whole community for |
those dellghtAil entertainments. It was announced
that the next soiree would take
Slace on the evening of Monday, 14th July at
>e houseof Capt. L. W. White.
The Country Press.
Wf have of late noticed with much pleas- i
ure agreat Improvement both In the local <
and the typographical department* of many '
of our cotintry exchanges. Within the par>t
six months the improvement has been quite .
noticeable. Many of the papers which then ;
paid little attention to local matters, now 1
make this department, as It should be, a specialty.
We al*o notice a disposition to use (
mailer type and fewer leads than formerly. 1
These are Improvements for the better which
we are glad to note. We hope to see the day <
when no paper will use long primer or bre- ;
vler for setting extracts. If It were not that
we mlghfomlt to mention some of the papers
deserving mention for recent Improve- '
ments, weshonId be pleased to mention the 1
names of about half dozen or more to whom
we now refer. i

Death of Mr. Robert A. Xartln.
This aged citlten died at his residence In f
Abbeville village last Monday after a protracted
Illness at an advanced age. Mr. Martin
was born on Long Ciine, but had lived In {
Abbeville for many years where he followed 1
the occupation of tailor. He was a man of
industrioas habits, of fine natural endow- ]
ments. of unswervlnglntegrlty, and was not- ^
ed for bis unvarying politeness, and the kindness
of his hear:. A quiet and unpretending
citizen, he possessed many of the love&ble

teem and respect of his neighbors. He was a1
mason of lung standing. The brethren of
the myxtlc tie took chnrge of his remains i
nnd burled him with the honors ot the craft.
He leaves a wife and children to raoorn his <
death. Peace to his ashes.

The annual parade of the "Invisibles," took I
place last Friday afternoon. "Invisible" It
almoHt was, the procession was so very small (
an affair. Twelve or fifteen negroes with
their blaok fivses painted still blacker, array
ed in fantastic rags, marched up the street ?
and down again to the sound of a drum. Only
this and nothing more. The glory of the ]
Glorious Fourth verily hath departed.

8pixkixo seed cottow.?The process of
splnningcotton from the seed is likely to rev. j
olutJonize the 8ou<h. The Southern Herald In
speaking of the cotton factory at WesUulit* .
ster on tne Air Line railroad. In Oooneecoun- c
ty, S. U., says- All the machinery Is moved
by a twelve-inch turbine wheel. The se?d
cotton Is systematically measured Into the
gin by machinery, and the llut separated from
i.oww*! mLKKMl from the sill In rolls to the n
spindles, and comes out in thread. Thus the e.
expense of pucking, bagging, ties, etc., is (11k- i
pensed with, and also the damage to the lint t
Irom compressing 1* prevented. The factory i
wt ww had only oOO spindle*, and turned out q
u bale (forty bunches) of thread per day. It t
requires 150.000 pound* of need cotton to keep
the mill runulng a year. The whole cost of
the buildings, machinery, etc., wax &>,000.
Twoor three farmers In any neighborhood
can combine and erect such a mill, to the lusting
beoeXlt of themselves and their neigh- J
bors.
The ChriMinn Union will be sent the next ?

Phillips Brooks and i)r. John Hull will an- ?
swer the vuestlon, "What Is It to be a Christian
?" Short stories, poems, pithy papers on 11
various subject!, and a sermon every week,
nil go In to make up this most excellent fain- '
lly paper. We believe tliatanv person trying
this paper for three months will not regret it. '

?'Mors Preu and Banner:
The re-.ictlon after the week's festival left
ne physically unequal to the small exertion
>f writing, or I would have ere this said
omething of my appreciation of tlio many
kindnesses that I was the recipient of, ilurng
that week's happy association with "the
Press." - - Our
trip to Henderson,?when I had my
first glimpse or mountain scenery, the visit
lo Atlanta, the good cheer that awaited ui.at
the Kimball house, the ride through the city,
md reception at the Governors; will be
pleasant memories to dwell upon until the
Press convenes again, when we hope to be
'counted In" for a share of the good things
that may fall to us through them.
Tired to exhaustion, 1 closed my eyes to all
surroundings, as the horses slowly wended
their way to Glenn's visions of green capped
monntainsand silvery fountains, the Joyous
notes of masculine enjoj nienLand'muslcal
tones of merry maidens, floated through my
bruin and I was Uvlng o'er again the pleasures
of the past week, when the drivers' loud
**wboa," awakened me to the fact that I had
arrived at my destination. I have been domesticated
at Glenn's one week. I usetht
word "domesticated" because the warm welcome,
genial manners of Dr. M. Simpson, and
family, gives one ascent of home like security,
thut is very grateful to the Invalid.
The reputation of this house Is too welt established
forme to add one word.yet I cannot
refrain from speaking of the culinary depart
meut, under the supervision of an experl
enced lad? who knows bow to compound ap
petizing dainties. The fare Is excellent, anc
appetites voracious. The little child danoec

I was told that the water at first would bi
nauseating and "hard to swallow," I bavi
not found It bo, and taken at the spring It li
delightfully cool and palatable. I have no
been here long enough to test its curatlvi

| era, hope much for myself. Amongst thi
guests there Is a paralyt ic, who came here sev

now he raises his feet, and place* them firm

I tell yoa of this case, that it may encoui

>c Urs. Dabnejr and Adger on Dancing.
>f Editors Prest and Banner:
ie You did ine the honor to republish my artl- I
cle and to accompany It with higli commend- i
j. ntions, for all of which you have my thanks. <
lt I wa? ubsenl from thoStateat that time and '
e I have been very much occupied since my r?- <
lg turn a few days ago. Taking up your editorial
comment* this morning and carefully 3
reading them, lank to be permitted to touch 1
(I briefly lu your next Issue on two points.
1 1. Allow me to enU'r my protest aealnst I
'* your representations of Dr. Dabney. He Is, t
' I assure you, by no means the man you sup- i
pose. Messrs. Kditors, your language is very (
5 strong. You make him "one of that class in r
;. whom learning and piety are found to con- \
1 sist with Puritanic fanaticism and narrow- f
mlndedness." "Such men In their mistaken n
LOU IUI VJVAi WUl^ll |J? KAMIIlt'U it |;riUMI^ I
Hire for power, override the tendorest feelings r
of humanity and society to attain their end, I
1 to Impose their unbearable ami unnatural c
yoke. "They beat Satan himself in their f
ability to quote Hcrlpture to serve their pur- h
i pose." " Worst of all they Inject into c
J thesubjectsoniuchUiatsuxfte.sU lascivious- n
s ness and lust that the pure minds of thou- si
sandB of young girls at'.d young men are o
i smirched and soiled by those very men who d
. areacting?save the mark?In the Interests of tl
: purity." o
Now, Messrs. Editors, Dr. Dabney deserved- fc
ly stands In the very front rank of ministers
; of the gospel In this country for every excel,
lence of character, and In his own church
there Is no man who wields more influence.
In assailing him with these personalities I tl(
feel that you assail all his brethren of whom b(
he is an honored leader, and you also assail (?
me as one of them, though I am his opponent w
In thiswise. You had a right to criticise ills ...
arguments ns I essayed to do, but, Messrs.
, Kditors. you had no right ro vilify his per- r
son. I know Dr. Dabney personally, which I r,
suppose you do not., and I can testify that B
forcible ax his eminent abilities and strong r
character and lofty earnestness of conviction u
and sentiment would necessarily make Ills p
t:eutment of this or any other subject ^
he discusses, yet there Is no man whom I
have found, in all my Intercourse with him,
less Inclined to bo arrogant or dictatorial. ,
Messrs. Editors, you have publicly done him
very great Injustice. The modern dance In ,
some of Its forms lscertalnlya questionable
thing. In this age and country there Is a 9'
strange tendency to laxness of manners and a.
of morals. Hardly a newspaper Is opened
which does not evince how the floodgates of w
all kinds of impurity ond Iniquity have been
opened around us. The question discussed
by my late opponent Is a very grave and serious
one. He discussed It earnestly and n?
ably. What he urged was worthy of calm d>
and candid consideration. And, Messrs. Kd- ly
ltors, you must allow me to say that If you th
felt boundasyourselves the appointed guar- It
dinns of public morals and the defenders and 8r
disseminators of truth to object to his posl- re
tlons on church discipline, It was his posl- so
Hons and not his person you should have a6- Is
sailed. pi
I am not quite satisfied with the position in pi
which you put me before the public. I am w
011 the record publicly as expressing very ot
strong disapprobation of all forms
of dancing between the sexes, I have said
that it is reallv Just "a form of dalliance." tn
That 110 man would suffer a stranger sitting 01
on the same M>fa to lay his Angers on the >'f
shoulder or on the hand of his sister or daughter,
but that the promiscuous dance freely al- J"
low* to strangers liberties of thin sort, and 1,1
lliat therefore I holil dancing whenever It is 01
promiscuous to be inherently wrong. At the =
same time I have wild that thin is only my
opinion imd tlint others are entitled to ditier _
with ft if they see cause. Now, Dr. D.ibney ?
brought forward not simply the question of
dancing m to Its own nature, but another;!*1
question, viz: whether dancing should not be 1 10
a matter of formal discipline? He said In
the outaet thut "the discussion Involves not
only the right or wrong of dancing but. the extent
of church power'' ?tc and he clones by
urging the Assembly to order caJeaorl&ily the
discipline 0/U. This and not simply the proprlety
or impropriety of dancing was tliesub
Ject we discussed.
When therefore you say of me "Dr. Adger Cl1
does not come forward H3 an advocate of dancing
nor does he encourage dancing," <?c, you
put me before your readors rather faintly. nf
XNotan advocate of dancing!" Why, gen- 1
tlemen, how could you contrive to frame such m
a denial as that about me? What did I say n*
In my article that warranted such milk and t
water expressions respecting my position 011
that subject? Hurely to oppose Dr. Dabnev's _
extreme demand thatdanclngbetreated with, ~~
tormal disciplinary process did not entitle' any
one to say thut I favor the modern dance ?JC
in any form of It,ho that you must become my ^
apologists and defend me so faintly from the y!
ciiarge. . r
But my complaint under this head derives ? '
Its main force from your antagoulzlnnDr. tu
Dabney and myself on the general suojecl. n
we are opiniseu u> one anouier on one question.
Your editorial* will I apprehend, be _
understood us placing us on opposite sides of
another. You say that he and Ills class would J
"banish all Joyousness and merry-making >71
from the face of the earth, believing with the .
Puritans that all pleasure Is sinful pr.r te, e.\- so
cept the Put-hanic pleasure of depriving all
other people of their pleasures." _
Now this does my frieud very great Injus- ?
tlce. And us you have said this about hint I
am proud to say, by your leave, that I am of ?
the very same class with Dr. Dabney?a l'resb.\
terian minister and a great admirer of -\y
numy who were called by the opprobrious
name of Puritans. I am no admirer of
worldly church members. I do not like to I*1
see professors of religion crossing the line.!'?!:
which always lias divided the church from
the world?and tills line the world knows Just
as well us I he Church and the crossing it Is
often quite us ready to condemn as the
Church Is. I hold that no loyal Christian will
lightly odeud his brethren or wound his r.<
mother?the Church. I
You have been very kind to me, Messrs. j*
Editors, and I hope you will allow me to tiefend
my friend and brother Irom your censures
and myself from such commendations
at bis expense as must prove dishonorable to
the character we alike profess to maintain.

Editors Prea* and Banner :
I take the liberty of asking spaco Jn your
Interesting columns fora brie/ account of the i
annual exhibition and concert of the South _
Carol Inn Institution for the education of the ?
deaf and dumb and the blind, which it may l>
be Information to some of ycur readers to A*
state, Is situated In Spartanburg county, four
miles southeast of Spartanburg Court House 1
on the historic grounds of Cedar spring. This *
interesting occasion cameott on the 23th insL
and in order to be In attendance thereupon
we left Abbeville on the 2Jrd Inst. Taking T_
thedown train at Hodges, we proceeded to IV
our destination by way or Alston and arrived
thither at 3 P. M. of the following day, where
we were cordially met by our many warmhearted
friends of dear old Cedar Spring: L
which place shall ever remain enshrined In f
memory asone of the brightest spotson earth
Hoary time, whose ancient throne was attached
now to the winged car of pleasure
soon brought on 7 P. M., the hour of prayers
which constituted the last and well bctittlng
exercise in the regular daily routine 'of the
session whose closing celebration we wish to
describe. At V teachers, pupils and guests
sought their respective dormitories and soon
dull silence asserted his imperial reign in all
qaarl eis except in the large and rather crowd- I
td opanment?a portion of which was assigned
to ourself. From this place, greatly to
our discomfort, his sweet tyranny seemed
doomed fo perpetual banishment by the persistent
garrulity of loquacious occupants
whose Iron nerves showed not the slightest
sensibility to what Virgil, were be an Kng
li Mi man, 1111*111, icwii we ouuiiiuivik (ividuiislonof
the sinking stars and totally Iiiclinerent
to thatlntluence which depressed the eye*
lids of Anchises's son, when he said to the
Impassioned Dido, what hero or gallant never
before nor since thought of addressing to a i
fair lady. We mean those memorable words, A
"Sidera cadcnlia somnos sttadeiU." Yet these
good fellows did finally relent, and fair Aurora,
as Jf loath to disturb the sweet dreams of m
the quietly sleeping student vellwl with a sll- f
very cloud, glided through the wide stretch
ed portals of the east, gently kissing his plac- ^
Id brow all unobserved, till the clear cnlme
of the morning belljolned wjth the songsters of
the grove to break theiitlllnera of the hour.
Ten o'clock A. M., the hour for the ooenlng
of the exercises, found the large chapel of the
school building, thronged with a brilliant
and eagerly expectant concourse of people
composed of the elite of Mpartanbnrg and the
surrounding country.
The first hour was devoted to the examination
of the pupils of the department for the ~
blind, which was highly creditable alike to \
the accomplished teacher, Miss Ida Walker X
and all tlie pupils under her charge. the
luiter embraced all classes from primaries to
post-graduates, the examination was Deces- rj
sarily varied, extending through the branch- J
es of orthography, l eading, grammar, rheto- et
rlc, mathematics, geology, Ac. By wav of 11- vl
lustratlng the nicety of cultivation in the ni
nf iim iiiinH nnii of the dudIIs read cl
' wlili h silk handkerchief spread over the mi
page, first single, and afterwards folded suo
cesslvely two, four und six double, beyond
which limit he, on this occasion, was unable
lb distinguish the letters. At the conclusion
or this remarkable feat, the superintendent _
- announced that u few days previous the same
' pupil had read with eight rolds of a similar
handkerchief Intervened between his hand
* and the page. At lhc close of this part of the
[ entertainment, Mr. Walker, the superln- r
1 tendent, interested the audience with along I
' and brilliant army of the names of those
' blind persons who have merited high dlstlnc>
tion In their various pursuits, from which it I
appears that this class. notwithstanding their \
* great disadvantages have won fame in al- \
9 most every Held to which the genius of man \
? usplres. \
? From one of these blogrnphlca) sketches we
. learned that tangible literature was Invented
? by the ploun McBeth a blind Scotchman who
_ had the Hcrlpture recorded by means of a sys*
tem of notation by knots (or a system of
knoltatlon) on a long small card. In thisal'
phabeteach letler was ingeniously represent- ,
ed by knoU dlflerently formed and variously I
j combined somewhat after the manner of the J
, dots and dashes in telegraphy. Next follow'
ed the examination of the deaf and dumb.
* In tills the questions were given in the sign
.. languages to the classes and Interpreted oral- t
~ ly for tne benefit of the spectators. The an- I
_ swers were written by the pupllson the black- I
board. As In the former case the lowest ^
. class was called first and the order of suoces- j
,i slon was In accordance with the various dei
grees or pupilary advancement, TheBuhject*

dard In th? Stats Institutions, The scholastic
n training or this class Is exceedingly tedious
e and begins by Imparting to the student his
n very tfrst Ideas of human language. The
e written and manual alphabets constitute the
Initiatory exercises of bis Instruction, and his
after progress Is promoted chiefly through
this medium. The various exercises in
v spelling, in translating sentences from the
? sign language into the written, parsing, math'
ematics, phylosophy Sc., were Interspersed
: with rehearsals of poetry In theslgn language
', rendered by different pupils of the deaf mute
i. department, and interpreted by MIbs Ida
" Walker or Professor N. F\ Walker. An essay '
ii on edocation by Miss Laura Rogers a deaf
and dumb young lady read by tne superlnd
tendant (concluded the morning entertain*
ment. An Intermission of one hour was an*
souneed, aft?r which the audience were re* 1
Ji quested to reassemble In the chapel. Without
(i discussing the pleasures of this hour we will
J? return to the chapel, where precisely at 2 p.m.
j, I the Cedar Hpring brass band the best In the
" Stale opened the concert, the most Interesting
7 feature of the oocuBlon and the most brilliant
ever given in Cedar Spring. The chapel
which had been crowded In the morning was
it now literally packed and piano, cornet and

-n, PWVTHICT.V pvtoptttfw BY THE
Im ABLEST WRITER8 ON EVERT 11
J2 SUBJECT. IH
pm Printed from New Type and Illustrated ill
with Several Shonsand Engravam
ings and Maps.
P fliHE work originally published tinder the
P !f? J title of the ^NFAV AMERICAN CYCLOp
P./EDIA wascommenced In 1868, slno which
CH iltne the wide circulation which It has attain- III
ed in all parts of the United tttatc*. and the III
signal developments wliloh have taken place III
PJ in every branch of sclenoe, literature and art, alii
P j" have Induced the editors and publishers to W V
P " submit it to an exact and tborouah revision,
P and to Issue a new edition, entitled
P THE AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA, *
am Within the last twenty years the progressof
m discovery In every department of knowledge
a m has made a new work of reference an lmpera?
m tlve want, ?
The movement of political aflklrs hot kept V?1
pace with the discoveries of science, and their
fruitful application to the industrial and use.
H. ful arts and the convenience and refinement
on of social life. Oreat wars and consequent revolutions
have occurred, involving national
changes of peculiar moment, The civil war JB
of our country which was at its height when 2
*08 ihe last volume of the old work appeared, has a
ex- happily been ended,and anew courseof com- j
ave mercial and industrial activity has been coin- 3
mpnmwl. *
fj? LARGE ACCESSIONS TO OUR GEOGRAPHICAL
KNOWLEDGE HAVE BEEN MADE. AbOVI
u The great political revolutions of the last de,
cade, with tne natural results of the lapse of
hi tlme> have brought into public view a raultl- _ _ _
thp l4do of new men, whose name* are in every Hilr
one's mouth, and of whose lives every one Is
i curious to know the particulars. Great bat- '
ties have been fought and important selges ft)]
maintained, of which the details are as yet
t preserved only In the newspapers or in the
i* ? transient publications of the day, but which
oughtnow to
T TAKE THEIR PLACE IN PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC
HISTORY.
Lin preparing the present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of the
editors to bring down the information to the
latest possible dates, and to furnish an aocu- /1A _
rate account of the most recent discoveries in veil
science, and of every fresh production in literature,
and of the newest inventions in the
practical arts, as well as to give a succinct
? and original
It ve RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF POLITICAL AND
igh. HISTORICAL EVENTS.
The work was begun after long and careftil
preliminary labor, and with the moat ample
resources for carrying it on to asuccessful ter- *
mlnatlon.
None of the original stereotype plates have
ma- been used, but
EVERY PAGE HAS tfEEN PRINTED ON NEW
TYPE,
e forming, in fact, a new Cyclopedia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with sucn improvements in lt? con post- _ _
lion as have been ouggeated by long expert- I V
eiice and enlarged knowledge. 4 **
THE ILLU8TKAT10N8, WHICH ARE INTRODCO
ED VOR TUK FIRST TIME A tT
in the present edition, have been addednotfor * "
the Bake of pictorial effect, but to give greater
IR- lucidity and force to the explanations In the
, If text. They embrace all brunche.i of idenoe and
of putural history, and depict the most famouB
and remarkable features of scentry, ?m
architecture and art, an well ax the various w
processes of mechanics and manufacturer*. 1
Although Intended for instruction rather than 1
P embellishment, J
nri SO PAINS HAVE BEEN SPARED TO INSURE X)
H II THEIR AK-ISTIC EXCELLENCE. JtT
ulJ The cost of their execution is enormous,
and It is believed they wltl find a welcome re- VT
116 veptlon as an admirable feature of the Cyclo- iiGl
pcedta and worthy of Its high character.
