The Press and Banner Wednesday, July 14, 1886. Death of .Mrs. A. M. Kill. Mrs. Jane Hill, the beloved wife of Mr. A. M. Hill, died at their home, some t\yo miles in the country, last Friday morning, .July s, i.*ns, sil'it-r si short Illness, she was taken sick only n few days before her death, but her illness from the lirst was such as to lead her friends t<> fear that her sickness might prove fatal, j ller physicians remained by her bedside for much of the time, and every thing that medical skill could conceive, or kind hearts sug«est, was done to alleviate hersuHcringsand to restore her, but all oi no avail. She continued to sink until about sunrise on Friday! morning, when her spirit returned to the God who gave it. Mrs. Hill was well known to the people of Abbeville village, and her death 'is much rearretted. while great sympathy is felt for her bereaved husband who is desolate and lonely indeed without his beloved wife. They were l».t>t the meridian of life; their union was pleasant, and their lives were happy in each i other. They had recently moved to their! c.iarming home in the country, and much of their time for this year had been spent togeth-i er in beautifying and in making more attrae-i tive the place where they had reason to be-| lievc they would spend many years of health and happiness. » Intended .loursey. Mr. \V. o. ]>undas of our town, will sail from Xew York on the 22d instant for Scotland, landing at Glasgow, visiting Kdinlairuh and will be present at the Industrial K.vhibi- tiou in August. After that he goes to the! c "'ebrat-d Scotch watering place, Oburn. From there he will go to England, stopping! in London several weeks, and from there toj Manchester, back to London, crossing tlici channel to France by way of Dover and ( alais, and visiting the great wine-growing countries of France. He will return home by way of England, after nn absencc of several months. Safe tmd pleasant journey to liiiu. | Hev.

At the late term of the ('curt in Marlon County, His Honor Judge l'rewdey made the following order In an important case. A citi-1 zen had been indicted for erecting and keeping a mill-dam, which in was aliened was a! nuisance, in the neighborhood where it it to-, cated. The (leclsii)ii is one of general inter-1 est, so far as the powers ol County Commission- ers extend: wIt appearing to the Court that there is an indictment for a nuisance alleged to he creat- cd and maintained by erecting and maintain- insra mill-dam in Marion County, and it being the judgment of the Court that soli- juris-' diction to abate such u nuisance is by law vested in the County Commissioners of said County; this Court has, therefore, no original jurisdiction in the matter and the Indictment is.ordered to be quashed."

We are not conscious of ever having done any wrong towards the good people of Greenwood, and consequently cannot put ourselves In a doubt-1 fui position. We hope they, as a proud, in-1 dependent, people, will accord to us all that we are entitled to and that they, as well as! ourselves, will build up and prosper. IUU wc! believe In everybody running their own skil- let; but if we can help Greenwood without! injury to ourselves, we will most assuredly doit. We invite them all down to our l-'air, and then we can show them how clever and kind we are, and we hope if they have anything against us they won't bring the hatchet along. KAST END. FROM LOWNDESVILLE. Rnilrond Xews.Accommodating C'oii- tractor --- Commercial Tourists The Coming City. I/o\vxn ksvix.i.F., July 10, The train on the .Savannah Valley Jtailroad hound for the city of McCorniiek, ran oil' the track near the Harper's fi rry road last Tues-j day, July Otli, but fortunately noonc was hurt. These run otls are becoming quite frequent. Now we doH't claim any supernatural knowledge, or to be at. ail superstitious. but this is certainly demonstrative of the doctrine of retribution. If those who Imvo the work in charge were a little more accommodating and polite, wc predict that their work would progress more rapidly and meet with fewer accidents. The Hon. Jay Gould in his best day never felt Indued with a* much power and authority as our honorable contractor and certainly not in his own estimation of as much importance. Miss Mamie Adams, of Augusia, Ga., who has been visiting friends at this place for the past few weeks, after several unsuccessful attempts to catch the fast mail train, succeeded in getting oft last Tuesday. It is reported that Mr. John Spoor, thelatost! groom of the town lias decamped. Strange that he should leave so suddenly,after repeat -' edly expressing himself as delighted with connubial existence. It Is truly remarkable what an'influence these girls have over some-ot our young men. It not only n fleet* ttie heart but Hie appetite.

I dou't know, but I think lie has cot it had. Miss Annlo Watkins has been quite sick fioin the eltects of tiie measles, hut she has almost recovered. As we arc so near the Georgia line, our people manifest more or less interest in the Gubernatorial election which has hcen quite interesting to both candidates and their const it-1 uenls. After a hard day's work we will take i a little "Macon" in ours, but if Mr. Gordon don't "got there Ell," we will certainly be dls-1 appoi 11 led. N<»t only have our farmers sustained Incalculable loss to their corn and cotton crops on account of the continued rains, but now the wheat and oat crop, what little there is, is spoiling in the field. Mr. It. Ii. Moorliead, as good farmer as can be found in Abbeville county, alter days and weeks of continued labor and attention to his oat crop, which was very line, will lose about one-half on account of the continued wet weather. Mr. James M. Raker lias just ret urned from a very interesting and pleasant trip to An-! irusta. Wo don't want to tie too previous, but! extend tohiin our sympathy and very best, wishes, and trust that he may be equally sue-1 cessfnl in all liis undertakings.

Coiikcession a I Xoini nations. Columbia Itcconl. The primary plan ot nominating candidates of the Democratic party seems to be growing in iiivoF u» iius Mate anu justly so. niuraigences of our political situation peremptorily require that the supremacy of the iJemocratle parly shall tin maintained, and therefore every Democrat feels it to be his duty to support its nominees whether they are aeecpla-1 hie to iiim or nor. Under these circumstances each individual Democratought to have as| I a rue a share in the selection of condidates as it is possible to give ill m, and in this respect, the primary plan has the advantage over nominating conventions. It is the only way! in which a patriotic, conscientious Democrat, who is not a delegate to a nominating eonven-j lion, can vote l'reely anil cU'ecllvely for the' candidate of his choice. Kicctions are a most effective means of educating people in the art of self-government. -l he casting of a ballot is I he supreme exercise of the right of citizen sovereignty, and though it is a simple enough act In iisclt yet it is most potent In iis results and requires a large decree of in I el licence and special knowledge that cannot, he so well acquired in any other way than by experience. For this reason, if I here were 110 other election* should he frequent. And since the Humiliations of tin* Democratic party are j equivalent to election these nominations, ouuht to l>c made by the primary plan wheii-t ever practicable. The convention is a training school for politicians. The primary dec- lion is a school for citizcn?. Some demand has been made to have can- didatcs for Congress nominated by the primary plan. What we have said above will apply as well to the nomination of Congrccssinen as to any oilier ollicial. lint here we are met with the practical ditllcuity that, the con-1 stiiution of the Democratic party of the st ile regulates the manner of nominating Congressmen anil prescribes that, it, shall be dune by conventions. This constitution can of course he changed, hut until it is changed it. should bi* strictly obeyed. A party tliat claims to uphold constitutional liberty must, obey Its own constitution. A failure to do so would be like corrupting the fountain head, or like taking away the pendulum of a clock or theiudder of a ship. It'nominations are: made in an unconstitutional manner they would not be the nominaiious of I he Hemo-j cratie narty and could not claim a loyal l)ein-| oeratie support. There is only one test, of a party nomination and that is to inquire1 whether it was made in accordance with the constitution of the party. The friends of some candidates may think they would stand a belter chalice ol'success in a primary election tliun before a convention, and'lhe friends of other candidates may prefer u convention for a similar reason. Un- fortunately the tendency is to allow such considerations as the>e to have too much iuflii-1 dice. I!ui they certainly should not be allow-1 «d to accomplish a violation of the constiiu-j Hull.

MtitWAY, July -J..At Hunter's C'hnpcl Church tliiK morning, while Sunday-school was In session, Miss Emma Connolly killed John A. Steedly. .Slut walked Into theihureh with her arms folded and a pistol n one hand, cocked. She passed Into the feat In rear of Stecdlv, and when just behind him shot him. Jlc arose, looked around, tried to ;;cl out Ills pistol, and at the same time made for the door. Miss Connelly snapped her pistol at him again, but it failed to g.> off. If it had gone oil- the chances arc that some one else would hive been hurl, as the church was crowded. St cod ly fell at the door of the dmroll Just outside and died In ahout three minutes. There was j^reatexcitement among the ladies and children at the time. Stcedly had lieen putting out damaging reports about Miss Connolly, for which her brothers and a Mr. Ott had hmse-whippcd him some time aeo, an aecountof which appeared in your paper. Some ton days siucc Sieedly published a letter In your paper giving his version of the whipping and reiterating the reports. This lotlci seems to have beeu the immediate cuusc of the shooting. As far asenn be asocrtnlned the tooling of the public seems to favor Miss Connolly, who is under arrest. In the Xcws and Courier on June 7 t.ie following letter was published from ourBiimberg correspondent: "Some excitement prevails in the neighborhood of Hunter's Chapel over the cow hiding of Mr. John Steedly by Messrs. W. T. Connelly and A. L. Ott. It seems that Stcedly had been circulating false and damaging oports concerning Connolly's sister. In order to obtain full satisfaction for the offence Mossrs. Connelly and Ott purchased n?2.5'J whe Iebone wui|), \rnneu upun >111. nuscuij uuu tercd about, thirty lushes. wearing tbr whip completely out. Jt is said that StpecPy has become reconciled to his fate, Nincecalllngup011 h (rial Justice and being advised tiat In ease a, lawsuit was entered against Messrs. Connelly mid Ott other punishment would proliahly be intticted for circulating cports equally 1'ilse and damaging concerning other persons." On .June 23 n Icttor from John A f'.teedly was published, in which he said: "In your is«ue of the 7th Inst., I see 1 card from your i.amborg correspondent, ilating tnat I was cow hided by W. T. ConneKy and A. L. Ott. Your correspondent did me great injustice in that report. I was attacked by Messrs. Connelly and Ott, and before I had any warning Connelly presented n cocked pistol at me and Ott placed his hand en his, and I was told by both of these men th it If I moved they would kill me. Connelly did strike me several blows with a whip, the cost of which 1 do not know or cure. Your correspondent says that I had been circulatirg false and damaging reports concerning Connelly's sister. That Is untrue. All that I said was in a very confidential way, and I had no desire or expectation of doing Miss Conuclly any damage by speaking of her to my Irlen 1, but unfortunately for me and him he divulged the secret. "And now, since the laily and Iter friends have taken the steps they have, in Jus,ice to myself I nn:«t say that lier mother knows the whole truth and knows that I have ntt lied. Every oik* can sec that your correspondent was not disposed to do me justice In tl at rei:ort. "I hope In the future, when using my name tnmngh the papers, he will be careful :.o say noilnug hat ih«* truth. Time will tell whether I am reconciled to my fate or no: ati'l as to his statement about my calling on a tri d Justice, it. is, as other statements made, either wi.'l'ul or negligently untrue. Now, >!: . Kditor, 1 hope in justlcc to mc you will ]>ubilsh tliis." On June 25 tlie Hamborg correspondent of the Aewx and Courier wrote as follows: "In justice of your correspondent ar.d Mr. Ktccdly it is necessary to state that the report made concern im; the cowh Idin;? of Mr. John sieedly was founded entirely upon ir.forimttion given your correspondent by a gentleman whom lie believes to be reliable. His statements have been confirmed by other parties, and your correspondent lias neither seen nor heard a denial ot the facts as repor ed until Mr. Stood ly"8 card appeared in the yews and Courier yesterday. It was far Iron the intention of your correspondent to do Mr. Steedly an injustice, and it is hoped that lie may be able to clear up the matter sal siactol'ily.".JJiipn'rh lit the A'eios and Courier.

Having considered articles of Fat-h, we now coustiler articles of practice. Them: arc ionr. 1st, Prayer; 2nd. Alms; 3rd, Fastings; 4ili. Pilgrimage to Mecca. These articles of practier, as before remarked, arc also called aiticles of religion, and in Arabic ealled "Din." First, Prayer. Under this arc included purifications which are necessary preparations for it Of these there are two degrees; first, total immersion of the bodj : second, washing of face, hands, and feet. l'hc first is required In extra ordinary cases.for example, when one has been polluted by touching a dead body; the second, in common cases; this i« performed with certain formal ceremonies, more easily understood by being seen than by the best description. Some of the! ! .Mohammedans soy that these purifications I are as ancient as Abraham, and thai the angel'Gabricl instructed Jlim in them; others go furt her and say, that the ange;s taught them to our first parents. .Mohammed is said to have delat ed, that the practice ol religion 1 «- Ic »!,. l,.lf ,.f the falih unci the key of prayer, without cleanliness prayer will 110L l>c heard. A >Iohamtucdnn writer reckons four decrees of purification : first,cleunsingofbody from all pollutions, tilth, ami excrements; second, cleansing of the members of the body from all wickedness and unjust actions; third, cleansing the heart, from all blamable inclinations aril odious vices; fourth, purging a man's secret thought from afleotions which may divert their attendance on God. He adds, that the body is as the outward shell, in respect to the lieurt which is as tlie kernel, lie condemns those who are satisfied with external washings and look no higher; speaks of their minds lying "'juste, overrun with pride, ignorance and hypocrisy. Where water cannot be had for bodily lustrations, or where water might Injure the health, fine sand or dust is allowed in place of it. Prayer was regarded by Mohammed to be so necessary, that he was in the habit of calling It the pillar of religion, and the key of paradise, lie obliged bis followers to pray five times a day: the first time, before sunrise; the Inst lime, after dark. Public notice Is I'iven of the times for nrnver bv criers from the steeples of their mosques; overy conselenllouH Mohammedan prepares himself for prayer, and pruys; sometimes in a mosque, sometimes elsewhere. These prayers are never to be abridged except on special occasions .n« preparing for a battle or going on a journey. Those praying arc expccled to turn towards Mecca in their devotions. The direction is indicated within the mosque by a niche; without, by the position of the door lending into the upper part of tlie building. Where the people have no other guide, they have tables calculated for finding the direction. They never address themselves to God in sumptuous apparel, though tliey areobliged to be decently clothed; they guard against appearing proud and arrogant In the Divine presence. Females are not allowed to pray with males in public; tliey perform the most of their devotions at home, It they visit the mosques, it must be at a time when the males arc absent. Second, Giving of Alms. There are two kinds of a I ins.legal and voluntary. The former is of Indispensable obligation.being commanded by law which determines the quantity of the alms to be given and the kind. The voluntary.as may be supposed from IDC woru iiseu.is leir. 10 every ones choice. Tlie giving of alms Is frequently coin mended in tbo Koran, and often is recommended jointly with prayer.the former causing tiie latter to be answered. A Mohammedan writersays, "Prayer carries us halfway to God; fasting to the door of his palace; alms procures admission." Alms to he given of live things, according to tiic prescription of Mohammedan law: ilrst, cat tie.camels, kino, sheep; second, money; third,corn; fourth.fruits.dates and raisins; tilth, wares sold, The usual portion to be ni von is one part in forty. There arc certain circumstances, however, connected with the articles mentioned which exempt the possessors from giving alms. .Sometimes a larger portion than what is mentioned is due.in the case of what is gathered out of the mines or sea, by art and profession, over and above what is for the supI port of one's family, and also where there is suspicion, or unjust gain; in these cases, one[ tlfth Is to be given. In audition to what has I been mentioned, we remark, that at the end of a certain fast, au extra offering is expected. At Ilrst, the legal alms were collected by Mohammed who used them in support of his ! poor relations aud followers; but chiefly for jtho support of the families of those who fought in his wars, lils successors did this till other taxes lor the support of government I were imposed, and then the matter was left 1 « 1.1....to IUI nu ll MM'j' V.IO. Third, Fasting. Mohammad used to soy, I Ihat tills Ik the jiiiteof religion, and that tin* odor of the month of one who fasts is morei grateful to God than that of musk. It is reek-1 oned by a prominent Mohammed divine, as one-fourth of the faith. There are (according I to Mohammedan divines), three degrees of) fasting: llrsf, restraining all parts of the body from the satisfying ofappailics and lusts: second, restraining ears, eyes, tongnc, hands,; feet and other members from sin; third, fasting of heart from worldly cares, and restrainin;* the thought# from everything exccpt God. j The month called Komedan Is the month on which the .Mohammedans say, that the Koran was sent down from heaven. In this month the fast Is to oc kept from daybreak to sunset. Between sunset and daybreak they are free to enjoy themselves. The fast Is very strict. Among the violations are the smelling of perfumes, and swallowing ones own spittle. There are some who are exempted from this fast.sick persons, those011 a Journey; under the tirst are included all who would Ire injured by keeping it. The exempted ones are expected lo last after the regular fasting season for fasting Is over, those able, as an expiation tor breaking the fast, are expected to give alm«. The Jewish and Mohammedan r.ists are. very similar. Fourth, Pilgrimage to .Mecca. According to a tradition of Mohammed, the man who dies without performing it ay mas well die a Jew or a Christian. This pilgrimage is to be made on account of the temple and its surroundlnKs. The temple was In veneration l>y ......... .........Mnlmni. Wie .UlUMIIIIO lltiui; V viltlll V.O Uliw.v A nied. It stands In the middle ofthe clly. Its name means "sacred," or 'inviolable." That, which is principally reverenced in Mecca and gives saemlni'ss to it, is a square stone building called the "C'aaha." This was tirst dedicated t<> tin idolatrous use; the Mohammedans believe, that It is almost co-cval with the world. Notwithstanding the antiquity and holiness of this building, they have a prophecy by tradition from Mohammed, that in the last times the Ethiopians shall come and ut1 terly demolish It, after which It will never be rebuilt. In the south-east, corner Is the cele! bra ted black stone which is set in silver. This Is highly reverenced, kissed by some pilgrims wit.11 gratitude, and culled by some tlic neighborhood of (»od 011 earth. As may be supposed, many superstitious stories are told concerning It.among them, that it came from heaven. The Karnmlhiuns once took this stone, and could not be prevailed on even by the oiler of a large compensation to restore it. Mohammed offered no less than live thousand pieces of gold for it. They kept it twenty-two years, and when they saw, that they could not by this method prevent the Mohammedans from making pilgrimages to Meeea, they restored It of their own accord. They told the Mohammedans that it was not " - - tllU uuv niwiiVt 1 in; IIV.. - j it,-proved that It was, by showing thut it had the peculiar quality of swimming on tiie waj tcr. In the building mentioned Micro is also anothersione, 011 which, It is said, Abraham .'stood. The officers of the temple hid this j stone when the Kurmathiaus look the oilier. Another thing shown here is a spring or well, I covered with a small building. The Mohanij medanssay, that at this well, llagur satisfied tiic thirst of Islunael. The water Is consider ed holy, and is highly reverenced. It is not only drank with particular devotion by the pilgrims, but it is sent in bottles, as a rarity, * * " 10 1:10*1. j'in I.MII mi; .uuuiuiiuituii.. A Mohammedan, famous lor a good memory, attributes Ills memory to the fact, that lie hail druhk largely of this water. There is a pui ticulat monlli at the bejjlnj ning of which Mohammedans who arc on a pilgrimagcarccxpeclad 10 be in Mecca. They nicetat different places near, and put on their garments.one of which is thrown over the 'shoulders; the other being thrown about the mid.lie. Their heads are uncovered, and they wear a kind of slipper. While t hus dressed they must not hunt animals or kill birds, though they are allowed to lish. They ! punctually observe the precept, not even kill. inj: a Ilea if found on I hem. There arc, however, miiiiv noxious animals they are at liberty to kill. (»n thcpilgiimaae they arc expec-j ted to watch over their words and actions. When ihcy arrive at Mecca, they engage In various ceremonies.among them going In procession round the Caaba. When tlicy pass by the black stone, they either kiss it. or else touch it with their hand and then kiss the | hand. Sacrifices form a part of the cercmo-j hies. These consist of sheep, goats, kine or Icamels.if either of the two latter, females. I ! The age is prescribed. The sacrifices beiujr (over, the pilgrims shave their heads; after j this they cut their nails and bury Ilium. The pilgrimage is then looked Upon as completed, though I hey afterwards visit the Caaba toj j lake leave of it. The Mohammedans confess, that nearly all the ceremonies observed i»y mem, wen- on'served by the i'agan A rubs many years bcfore| Hie appcaianeo of Mohammed. Mohammed. con/irmed them, though he made some altor! at Ions in those points that seemed to him ex- ceptionablu. Tlierc was something among' 'tin: i'agan Aralts, eon nee led with going around the Caaba that was indeeenl. Mo-, hammed excluded this, ami it was nut ear-i rieil on tiy his followers. Abbeville. S.
