THE COUNTY ADVERTISING?OUR ?
POSITION. [J
It is always unpleasant to obtrud?
personal matters before the public, but w
that to which we refer, affects the public w
as well as ourselves, since it concerns the 1)1
.1.
conduct of public officials, and refers to
to the county advertising, in which .our 1>(
readers are all interested. Ul
The readers of the Prcs3 and Banner sc'
and of the Medium cannot have failed to ai'
observe that siucc the establishment of e(i
that paper, it has secured the entire ad- c,:
vertising from tho offices of the School 1,1
Commissioner, tho County Commis- nt
eionera, the Judge of Probate, and the fcI1
Auditor, whilst the Sheriff and the
County Treasurer, have alone shared
theij advertising between the two County
papers. In 60 doing, we are prepared
to show that tho first-named oflicers Cc
have acted counter to tho uniform pruc- HI
tice of their predecessors, and in disrc- w<
gard of the interests of the general pub- eh
lie of which they are the legally consti- So
tutcd trustees. ell
I. What has been the uniform practice ra
with regard to the County advertising? be
. .
"We ore prepared iosuow tuuma- uuuuim 3l,
practice from the first establishment of a
the County papers, has been to award ca
the advertising to the old established irr
paper, until the new candidate for public al
favor, had made good its position and cli
secured its circulation; and then to di- th
vide tho advertising between the two fn
papers. Such was tho case when the ta
Press wa3 established, and for twelve w
mouths thereafter the Banner retained ]c
the entire advertising against the stren- 0f
uous efforts and earnest protests of the gj
Press; and it was only when the lattor w
paper rivaled, if It did not excccd the jT
circulation of the former, and had cstab- ol
lished its claim upon the public patron- tu
age, that it was allowed to share in the pi
County advertising. Allotted to share Cr
we say, for never did the Press prefer so to
preposterous a claim, nor did the public jy
officers ever dream of sanctioning so un- r{(
reasonable a demand, as to monopolize tli
tho entire official advertising patronage co
of the County. Those were days when
public officers recognized their just re- p
eponsibilities to the people, and per- tli
formed their official duty with a due regard
to the public interests. f0
II. We are prepared to show that in
giving the entire advertising of their
respective offices to the Abbeville Mc- bi
tho officers above-named havo ac- n
ted in disregard of the interests of the cc
general public. "We do not suppose that rr
the Medium will claim one-fourth of the ni
circulation of the Press and Banner in the tl
County. Except at Abbeville C. II., at di
Due "West, and at Level Land, the paper tl
Is scarcely known and has a moist meagre ai
circulation, and yet it aspires, and the w
officers named sanction, its claim to be
the sole organ of communication between y
the trustees of the public and tho public a
themselves. Are the citizens of Green- I
wood not entitled equally with the citi- g
gens of Due "West to share in the knowl- d
edge of all the official acts of County q
officers, which tho law requires to be
published? Have not the people of ii
Lowndesville and Ninety-Six an equal *
claim with the people of Level Land to a
know what Citations arc issued, what i
Final Discharges are prayed; what No- tl
tices to Contractors are given; what Com- ei
raon School notices are announced? Do 3
Due West and Level Land and the Temple
of Health represent the whole broad I
County of Abbeville, which stretches ii
from the Saluda to the fcjavannan, I
and from Lowndesville to Ninety-Six? 1:
We liad supposed Ninety-Six and Green- e
>vood and Cokesbury, and Donaldsville tl
and Lowndesville had an equal voice in
electing the County officers, and con- ft
tributed at least an equal slifre of their li
business, and sustaiued at least an equal n
proportion of the burdens of their main- o
tenance? Why then should their exis- si
tence not be recognized,-and their just ri
claims to a knowledge of the acts of the
County officials, through the legalized st
channels of publication, not be concc- b
ded? Legal notices aro required to be fc
published for the information of the
people and of the whole people, and E
when public officers ignore the claims of oi
a widely circulated journal and select as ei
tho sole medium of publication a paper C
of limited circulation, they defeat the in- A
tention of the law, and disregarding the fc
Tights, prejudice the interests of the a:
people, whose servants they are. Such
* * ? J.? - V
conduct nas iiu jprewuu-no m mo ,??!
history of the publicofllcialsof Abbeville, u
and to find a parallel you must go into n
some of the adjoining counties, -where t<
legal notices are inserted (we will not tl
say published) in a paper established, A
and with a circulation (if circulation w
there be) entirely outside of those ii
counties. Do our public ofllcers justify
such a course, and propose to em- s<
Ulate that example? Does the Medium G
pretend to have one-fourth the cireula- gi
tion of the Frcs* and Banner in the
Oouirty ? (Junit even oqual its circula- ai
im among the colored people? Does it (
aim better to represent the sentiments j
ul interests of the white people of the j
>unty ? If the Medium can present any (
>e ground upon which it can prefer, c
ul the County officials can sanction, its j
aim to the monopoly of the County
Ivertisintr, then we will be willing to
ibmit quietly, and "forever hold our j
>:tce.,; But not till then.
The above stated propositions arc lyis-K
1 on the assumption that .even at AbbeIlcC.
II., Due West and Level Land, it
ic Medium has an equal circulation is
ith the Press and Jiunner. But this I
e do not admit, whilst we claim that:,
; the other and important Post Officesj |
r the County, the Press and Lanner j <
as a largo circulation, whilst the Mc- ]
ium is almost unknown. \
In conclusion, wo would say, that j
hothor paul for the work or not, wo '
itend to publish in the Picas and Ban- ]
vr all legal notices, and thus endeavor jj
> discharge our obligations, whatever |
jurse Count}* Officials may pursue, and jj
owevor much thoy may ignore ourj1
laims, and the interests and wishes of;|
le people. We are dependent upon the} i
eople for our patronage^ and it gives us 1
leasure to recognize our obligations, '
nd tender our acknowledgments for j
heir long continued and oft repeated ;
ivors, but we are independent of any
lass of County ollicials, u Whom a
reath can make, as a breath has '
iade,"who seek to stand between us i
lie people, aud who attempt to turn into I
ew channels, the public l'avor and the
ublic patronage. j
To the Couuty Offices and to tho conuctors
of the Medium we have repeatilly
expressed our readiness to acquiesce
1 a division of the advertising, but they
ave only met us with evasive and uu- i
xtisfaetory replies, betraying a^et pur- i
ose to defeat our just claims. To those '
>lllcers we can only say that a public
uirnal is not worthy of the name
hicli is not able to protect itself, and
hich, in the language of Webster, "is *
ot only serviceable* to its friends, but (
ingerous to its foes." To tho Medium ^
irhaps it would be presumption to vol- .
iteer this unsolicited counsel, that in
eking thus to monopolize that patron-j>
;e to which a con tew porary has an
|Ual claim, it is not seeking the most
lective way of engratiating itself with ^
e people, upon whose favor after all, a ^
swbpaper must depend for its exist- '
ice.

OUR COURT. r
i
We are now in the second week of our i
>urt and the criminal bu.sine.ss will f
cely occupy the greater part of the v
)ek. Ilis Honor Judge Orr, with his jaracteristic
ability and despatch, and i
licitor Perry with his usual zeal and
lciency, are pressing on the cases as
pidly as practicable, but most of them n
ing cases of serious character are /
mtly defended, and necessarily occupy ji
good deal of time. In most of the v
ses there has been an arraignment and; tl
lpannelingof a Jury, and as the law j n
lows in felonies, a right of peremptory p
allenge on the pnrt of the prisoner to n
e number of twenty which has been f
?ely exercised, much time has bccu t;
ken up this way. For the frnt time that t
e have observed, in our Court, chal- ri
nge was made to a juror on the ground y
' having expressed an opinion as to the a
lilt or innocence of the prisoner, and | ]
as sustained under our n?Mv jury lav. j ;
1 New York this objection is the chief! ii
>stacle in the way of trials, and consti- e
tes a serious hindrance to tlie proper |c
inishment of crime. In an exciting!c
iminal trial it is sometimes necessary
summon a thousand men, before a
ry can be selected. Every day's expe- j.
L'nce, especially in cities, demonstrates 0
e folly of any such objection to the 0
impetency of a juror. f
The Grand Jury were dismissed on ;
rlday morning, after making, through jt
ieir Foreman, Wni. A. Giles, Esq., an j
teresting Presentment which will be a
und in another column. c
In the case of the State vs. Virgil j
[addon for the crime of highway rob- ,
?ry, committed upon two colored men {
ear the Village, the defence was ably'c
inducted by Messrs. Thomson and Cotli- j
m, but the proof of guilt was loo clear j
id the prisoner was found guilty. In
lis case a witness, Yarborough Mad- .
en, having returned into court during
le progress of the trial, in violation of
a order directing the witness to retire j
;is lined for contempt.
In the case of the State vs. Henry j
^'are and Mack Vandiver, for stealing .
bale of cotton irotn Mr. McGce, near
)onnaldsville, the first named pleaded
uilty, and the second was successfully
efended by Mr. Thomson, and was ac- 1
uitted.
The case of the State vs. George Sears, 1
lvolved the charge of abroach of trust 1
*ilh a fraudulent intent, in disposing of (
Dtton raised on a place of Mr. John 1
[oseley, near Lowudesville, on which '
lie prisoner was a croper. He was 1
aruestly and successfully defended by
Ir. McGowan, and was acquitted.
In the case of the State vs. Calhoun
lamblin for .assault and battery, with
stent to murder, in shooting one John
?owio. colored, in the village, during the 1
ist Christmas, the prisoner was defendd

South Carolina Wines.?A corrcs- ^
xmdent of the Charleston JXcws gives <
lie following sketch of a South Carolina
Vineyard and Wine-press.
"About eight miles from Marion on 1
he line of the Wilmington, Columbia!I
uul Augusta Railroad is Mullin's Depot,! C
worthy of note as the local ion of an en- (.
erprise not often met with in South (.
Carolina. This is a vineyard and wine- 1
press, owned by Dr. R. Vampill, a native ?
>f Poland, but for a number of years a 1
resident of this State. The doctor has 1
dxty acres of land under cultivation, 1
planted in vines. His wino cellar is a A
ioug, low brick building, the lloor of
tvhieh is four feet below the surface of
the earth. This building isone hundred
unl sixty feet long by forty wide. It
lias no windows, but is furnished with 1
light and air by a false roof over the (
junction of the*roof proper, extending (
ihe entire length. Within these walls is
% sight well calculated to make the heart T
;>f a man who loves the good things of (.

long rows lying on their sides, with lead- ^
colored bodies ami rod heads, are a host 'J
r>f immense hogsheads, labeled respectively,
sherry, Madeira, concord, flowers,
port, catawba,scupnernong. The doctor
pulls a key out of nis pocket, and as he
turns, tirst one coek ami then another,
you begin to feel very much as if you [
iiHVO reached the "happy land." The (
cellar contains at present six thousand (
gallons of wine. Thedoctois' vineyard | j
is now yielding three thousand gallons >
per annum, although only asmallpor- \
tiou is old enough to bear fruit. AYben j
the whole of it becomes productive it j
will yield about 100,ODD gallons yearly. s
The doctor lias made a good move in np- L
pointing the courteous tirm of Dr. D. S.
Price Co., Marion, S. C., agents for
the sale of his wines. It is to be hoped
that Dr. Vampill's example will, before
long, be largely followed in evpry section
jf the State." ^
The climate of Abbeville pectus to be .
veil suited to the cultivation of the
;rapc, and at one time very great inte ast
was manifested in the village and
ounty on the subject. Dr. Togno, a
ormer resident of our town, was a mov- I
ng spirit in the matter, and a choice ^
"incyard was planted, and here very exellcrit
wine was made by him and the
ate John II. "Wilson, Esq., and more recently
by the present proprietor, Mr It. C
3. Bowie, and his very excellent mother, <
drs. N. A. Bowie. Extensive vineyards ^
vere also planted by our esteemed felT,-,Iin
A PnHinnn "Pen
U>? uuflll . VUIUWUII,
,ml others, though wo believe they have
lot given much attention to wine-niak- F
ng. One of the most successful cultiva- Jr.
ors of the grape in Abbeville, is our j
riond Dr. W. L. Anderson, of Green- ft
rood, whose wines scarcely ever fail to Jr.
earofTtbe premium at our Fairs, and
a whose merits we can bear testimony.
Accident.?Jo Lee, a colored boy V
ged about eight or ten years, the son of *'
inn MeClaren, whilst attempting to
jnip oft* oue of the cars at the Abbeille
Depot last evening, which at the j
ime were being shifted, was caught f
nd thrown under the wheels, which '1
asslng over, severed one of the arras
ear the shoulder, and crushed three
ingera of the other hand. "We regret ^
lie sad occurrence, and advise parents ^
o be careful as to their children, as this is (j
lot the first accident which has occurred <inder
similar circumstances. No blame J
ttaches to any of the employees of the
toad. It would be a work of supcrertn
m?iv ?7ii? nf Mr. Kvfiin. who
w0*,v.~.. ? * > |
Boucof the most careful and Judicious C
ngineers on the Road. Dr. Parker was
ailed in and renderod the-proper medial
attention. ^
Taxation.?We suppose that our poo- j
tie may as well make up their minds at \
nee, to pay a tax for the ensuing year
.f some seventeen mills, besides license
ees and stump duties. The plea for the
ncreased taxation if, necessity, "the ^
yrant's plea?the necessity' of disehargng
our obligations. To console us we
ire told that for the past five years the
iverage is nine mills a year; and the
Union cites the testimony of a promi- ^
lent Democrat, of New York, that this
ax of one-and-a-half per cent, issmall
!om pared with the eight percent, which \
ic pays. But reflect, that man is perlaps
making 20 per cent, on his investncnts.
Give him the unproductive
and*of the South, and he will likely j
jhange his opinion of what constitutes j
merous taxation. "Economy and Re-ji
"orm," is to be the rallying cry in the!^
next election, and unless a change isi
jrought about at the polls, the Slate is ^
irretrievably ruined.
*9*
Delinquent Land Sales.?We di- (
rect attention to the advertisement of the | j
L'oumy Auditor, giving the names orj j
ieliiiqucnts whoso lands will be sold on j [bo
second Monday of Marjli, unless the; y
taxes are paid by that time. There is no
mode of escaping the penalty, except by
i complianco with the law, and we trust
that all may be enabled to make arrange- j I
merits to prevent a sacrifice of their;,
property. The list of Delinquents for ^
Richland County, published in the Phcr.- J
nix, occupies some seven or eight col- j
umns of that paper. AVe have reason for ,
I'ongratuhuion that ours is 110 larger. j
iSf Several choice droves of mules j
were in .town during the past week, l
among which was one owned by Sir. B. J
L<\ Yoe, of Greenwood. A good team i,
was purchased by our enterprising young i
friends, Messrs. McDonold & Kaddon.
A drove of Mexican Mustang ponies,
owned by Sir. Susong, of Tennessee,
have been in the market, and, being
something of a novelty, found eager
purchasers ac prices ranging from $40 to
?7o. The breaking of the ponies furnished
much amusement to our citizens.
Tire Pending License and Stamp J
Bills.?Committees appointed by the *
Charleston Board of Trade and Chamber
3f Commerco have visited Columbia to ?
protest against the odious License and c
tamp Bills which are now pending, r
rhey have waited upon the Governor n
ind the Committees of Ways and Means,
jut with what effect remains to be seen. \
The Southern* Celt.?We (have re- [
eived the first numbers of the new sc- ^
ies of this paper, an Irish-American
ournal nublished weeklv in Charleston 1
jy James Brennan. It presents a neaty
printed and well conducted paper,
ind presents an interesting epitome of K(
icws, foreign and domestic. g

"" Resentment' of Grand Jury. i
v I " *
,' j j
In apoiher. coiliunn wo publish the Presentment
of the Grand Jury, from i
the practiced pen of our fellow bitizen, ;
"tViri." A7 Giles, "Esq., and commend to
the perusal of our readers the well-timed
' suggestions of a body worthy to represent
the public sentimont of our. District.
\Vo are disposed, however, to take
' issue with the propriety of their rccom- '
( mendation that the walls of the old Cour.
> House be taken down to the foundatioust
This would certainly involve a large additional
expense, and should nofcbe done,
unless it was necessary for the safety of
tho building; but all with whom we
) have conversed, including practical
workmen, say that the walls arc as i
sound as they ever have been. Tho new
arrangement of winHowa, wo suppose,
misrht bo easily effected Without reinov
" ing the walls. Should wo succeed in
getting the appropriation, however of
) $10,000, it might be advisable to enlarge
the building, and in that event the sugJ
gestioii of the Grand Jury might be very
proper. We are glad to see that they
) have vindicated the character of our
^ County officials from all charge of cul->
pability in relation the recent loss of
records, and that they have adopted the
" suggestions of His Honor as to taking an
) inventory of all official papers which
\ have been preserved. We are sorry on
the contrary, that wo cannot join with
the Jury in congratulating the County
( upon the diminution of crime here.?
) The Dockets of the Court and the con)
ditlon of the jail seem to tell a different
} tale. Perhaps the Jury are congratula)
ting the County on the prospect, after
the present batch of offenders aro sent
) away. t
J. B. Sardy & Son?Guaxo.?The
above named enterprising gentlemen
being desirous of introducing their Guanos
to our farmers, in this section of
the State, advertise in another column.
Like others dealing in guanos they sell
. oh time, but it comes cheaper, as everything
else, when the cash is paid. Farming
without manure, Is too slow for these
times.
The following is from the Charleston
News which we copy as information to
our readers:
"Among the many large roanufactur)
ing enterprises to which the discovery of
the South Carolina phosphates has given
rise,.thatof Messrs. John JJ. Sardy <fc Son
stands in the foremost rank. With a
heavy capital and unrivalled experience,
' the result of many years spent in the
manufacture of other fertilizers before
the discovery of the South Carolina
phosphates, they-have established in the
' neighborhood of this city a manufactory
of fertilizers, which, in extent, completeness,
systematic management and consequent
efficiency, is not to be surpassed.
They offer the live following articles,
all of which arc strongly recommended
mby planters who have used them, viz.
' Ainmoniated Soluble Pacific Guano,
' Phospho-Peruvlan Guano, Acid Bone
1 Phosphate, Ground Carolina Phospiiate
and Nova Scotia Land Plaster. The
. Ainmoniated Soluble Pacific and Phospho-Peruvian
Guanos are rie.h com)
pounds of the highest grades of bone
phosphates, rendered soluble and am)
moniated with No. 1 Peruvian Guano
and animal matter, making the most
concentrated and profitable fertilizers
' for cotton and cereals." Perrin & Co.,
aro the agents at Ninety-Six, S. C.
) . _
) T:rn Charleston Daily iigpublthan.?'This
paper has been received,
( and its columns, as of old, givc>evidence
of ability'nud much liberality of sentiment.
It extends a kind greeting to the
press throughout the State without rej
gRrd to politics, and we are sure that its
kind temper and courteous greeting will
be duly appreciated and reciprocated.
It is edited by Messrs. Seabrook <fc
) Myers, gentlemen of experience and
ability.
