The emigration mania has struck the
White Hall neighborhood amidships.
We learn that the following families will
move to Arkansas about the 15th of December
:
Andrew Anderson and family, William
Anderson and family, James Anderson
and family, Robert Anderson, Sr.,
and family, William Anderson, Jr., and
family, Robert Anderson, Jr., and family,
James Smith and family, Robert Smith,
single, William Wilkinson and family,
.John Davis and family, Joe Davis ami
family, Robert llintou and family, Dave
Edwards and family, Dave Wilkinson,
single, Mack Wilkinson, single, Ed. Seymour,
single, Wiston Felt, single, Owen
Edwards and family.
All substantial white farmers, and it
is a source of genuine regret that Abbeville
county, which needs good farmers
so badly and offers them such inducements,
should lose such men. Their
destination is the western part of Arkansas.
where their intention is to buy
up railroad land und open fresh new
farms for themselves. The troubles and
hardships of emigration they will sadly
feel, and it is.to be hoped that their
journey will be as free as possible from
such inconveniences.
Robert ilinton, one of those named
above, is still on the ragged edge and
may conclude to stay among the people
of his childhood.
Several of them are tenants of the
I.aureus iuiuis, which arc 10 u? sum samday
in December, and the reason they
give for their emigration is their inability
to rent land and compete with the onehorse
ne.zro farmers, whose means are
strengthened by the lien law. If the
lien law will force such people as these
to leave us, it certainly works a serious
wrong upon our country. Let our legislators
think about this matter when
they come to consider its repeal this
.vi liter.
Town Council.
At a meeting of the Town Council
Friday afternoon soinc matters of general
interest were transacted.
A force of six extra policemen was
ordered to be employed for the Democratic
rally on the 7th October.
Owing to the danger to the large glass
windows of the new hotel from the firing
of the Anderson nrtillery, the town marshal
was instructed not to allow any boinhnnlitif
lwnrnr than 7(1(1 ranis of tin.
court house.
A petition signed by numerous citizens,
asking that an ordinance be passed
prohibiting the Council from electing
one of their number Clerk, and requiring
him to give a boml for the fnilhful discharge
of his duties, wan read and on
motion of Warden Douglass was laid on
the tabic. An ordinance wa*.then passed
providing for the creation of the office of
Clerk of Council, defining his duties
and regulating his compensation. Hy
reference to this ordinance, published in
another column, it will be seen that the
Council are empowered to elect their
Clerk either from (he Wardens, or from
outside citizens. This we think eminently
proper. All thnt the citizens
have a rijrlit to require is that a competent
man be elected and that he give the
required bond. It would be an imputation
upon the Council to require them
now to abandon a time-honored custom
and make the humbling acknowledgment
that thefe'waftli't a man on the board
capable and honest enough to act as
their Clerk.

Finn Sermon.
There was no preaching in any of the
churches Sunday evening except in the
Methodist. Jliev. Mr. Richardson preached
to quite a good congregation upon the
text : "We follow no cunningly devised
fable." It was a sermon full of thought
?the ever building thought that inspires
thinking. He denied the honesty of purpose
and motive in skepticism, and
showed the feeble support of the faith
of its adherents. The sermon was a
strong appeal for faith in the historical
and spiritnal genuineness of the life of
Christ and of the great benefit of the
Christian religion and its great necessity
from the argument of the immortality of
the soul. He demonstrated this with
great clearness, and quoted with force
and peculiarly appropriate application
the beniitifnl words of Cato's soliloquy :
"Plato, thou rcasoncst well:
El*? whence this pli-axing hope, thin foml deriirn.
j This longing nfter immortality ?
i Or whence thin secret dread aiid inward horroi
Of fulling into noti|{h: ? Why shrink* the soul
Hack on herself and startles at destruction ?

1 'Tin heaven itself that points out an hercaftei
| And intimates eternity of man."

IVrHous Atlvontui'CH of "Tlie Ola Reformer"
ou IKh Journey from Andci-sou
to Abbeville?The Old Cannon
t-ii|?wizc<l, In a Gully.
On Friday, September t?6, Capt. John
K. Brownlee and Mr. Henry Power.", of
Antreville, went to the Democratic mass
meeting at Anderson Court House to
hear the speeches of the State canvassers,
and especially to bring back with them,
for use here ou Tuesday next at our
grand rally of the Abbeville Democracy,
the famous old cannon, "Tho Old Reformer."
This piece of ordnance is well
known to our people. Its voice has
been heard in theaa upper counties since
1838. It has booimad at many an antebellum
muster, barbecue and Mexican
Voti?i*miUr rAliniAh anH in ntnrn ?*nnnn *
times it ha;* roused the echoes at Democratic
mass meetings. It did good work
in 187(> in more Counties than one.
Next Tuesday it will open its mouth and
utter no uncertain sound in the interests
of Democracy.
It was in use at the Anderson meeting.
After the speeches were ended
Capt. iJrownlec obtained possession of
the "Heformer," hut found that its
wheels lacked tires, and thnt he could not
haul it without placing it on a wagon.
On n wagon it was plnced, but as there
was no frame suitable, it had to he tied
to the standards. Jerry, Capt. llrownle-'s
driver, was told to mount the "He- K
former" a-straddle and drive on. Jerry i
was rather afraid. He said : " Mas r
John, whar de trigger ? Ifse skeered to a
ride dnt ting, I'so skoered to sit down 11
on de trigger." {,
Off he went, however, and the wagon K
went safely for about tjvo miles, when
"crash !" went the wagon-body and the J
artillery cam'.* to a stand-still. Fence ?
rails were appropriated or confiscated, V
and placed under the cannon, and away fl
went Jerry riding tho "Reformer" again, i
At the first rough hill the fence rails ?
broke, and another halt w?s called. A k
fresh supply of rails was confiscated and "
the artillery moved on. "Whenever a
steep hill had to be ascended the cannon f<
slipped back, and all hands had to get
out and help it f??rward; and when goins
down the other side the cannon
slipped forward and Jerry had to shout
for help. The kindly half-moon lent
her aid, and in spite of nunr a drawback
and delay the artillery ra*ehed the Anderson-Abbeville
line, H9W Mr. Strickland's.
11 "re the Captain called for ?
Strickland, and he readily answered and
cheerfully helped to put the cannon in
better fix. (Jreon poles jrere cut and
notched to fit the standard*. The "Otd *
Reformer" was finally placed on the
poles and ofF the party went over a beau- J
ti f ill road, sure of no furth<rlbrcakdo*vnV f
Just throe miles from the Cqfl^ain'H house 0

but the (Captain ruefully fyfU. tho "Old

have to return with several hands and
draw the cannon out of the gully. Next
day the thing was done, l'hu cannon
was safely conveyed to Antreville. ('apt.
Ilrotvnlce has now had the "wheel* put
to rights, and on Monday evering he
will couic to Abbeville, with sixty rod
shirts as an escort to the "Old Reformer,"
whose voice will l?e heard jnore than
once between Antreville and^Abbevilte.
