Miss Pip^r^tts.
Tho author who/writes for tho JWw
Era under tho poetical and dignified
nom de plume of Miss Fipsissaway
Potts, but who of late has abridged
her title to Tipsy, last week was' severe
u^on*the Junior, and her criticisms
ii^our-opinion bear unmistakcafcle
car-nnjjks. We think the public
will bear trPplit in tho assertion that
it is not in^ a big heart to
, give a stab in ambush or
ender an assigned garb or guise.

oxcepiion lO ino general ruio. aj.o
ecems to think that there is not room
for both his paper and our own, and
his actions would seem to indicate
that he thinks the only way for him
to livo is to kill us. In this he is
much mistaken. There is room for
all. We do not regard him much
more as a competitor than wo do the
Newberry, Laurens, Anderson or
Greenville papers People who want
news from Abbeville, Greenwood, or
any other town take papers printed
in the localities from which they
wantr nows. People who want to
read the County news, the legal notices,
or official sales naturally look
to the Abbeville naners for them, and
people interested in Greenwood news
will as naturally look to the New Era
for that specialty. Our interests do
not conflict, aud we do not sec why
that paper should seek to injuro us.
We wish the New Era well, and have
not as yet said one unkind word of
that paper, or uttered a sentiment intended
to injuro its reputation. \Yej
feel safe in the friendship and support
of our friends and have no jealousies
of that paper but heartily wish that1
it had double tho support which it;
now receives. Wo merely wish to
convince it of the folly of tr}*ing to
depreciate, and misrepresent its,
neighbors. It can effect nothing by!
it, as tho people of Abbeville County
are sufficiently intelligent to pass upon ?
tho merits of our respective papers.!
In Miss Pipsy's remarks there is no1
doubt an under-current of ill-feeling!
pervading especially her second ar-;
ticlo of last week. We shall not how-'
"wi' nvnwit, toirct the better of acon-i
w 1 R"
troversy with a lad}* <vho uses the;
average school-boy's buncombe, and j
talks ho fluently about the "noondav'si
sun," the "pure air of heaven," and |
the time "when \vc shall be a redeemed,
regenerated and disenthralled I
i
people."
Unlike the A\w Era, we have never I
yet sot ourselves up as a model editor I
or newspaper man. We make no
pretentions to sueli, but only strive;
in ao humble and uoassuming way, |
to please our own readcis without)
disparaging our competitors or claim-1
ingany superiority over them. We,
i ' put ourselves before a jury of our
own readers, and by their verdict wci
are willihg to stand or fall. To brag
or to blow our own horn has never

iievor sought to gain favor with the!
public by planning the downfall of
anyone. In business there is room I
for all, and in the long run, merit will
tell. Merit never seeks to rise by;
pulling down a competitor, and the
man who attempts to do so, may for J
a little while succeed in throwing1
dust into the eyes of the people, but I
he may rest assured that they will
not bo long in discovering a triuk or a!
deception. The i\*ew Era will make'
more friends for itself by proving!
worthy of them, than it can possibly'
gain by any attempt to alienato ouri
friends from us and our paper. A
lor tho witticism (?) about the muddy
wators, that is old and second hand.
When the bachelor of the Press and
v Banner mates his confessions to ilissj
Pipsy sho will then have amplo time
to do the "kicking."
' Cooninq" a Hope. ? Recently a;
citizcn of Laarens had business at
Ninety Six, and upon his return j
found tho flat hitched to the other j
side of tho Saluda. After calling the
ferryman and getting no response ho
tied his horso to a tree and concluded
to "coon" the rope to tho other side.
When near tho centre of tho stream
his weight bore tho rope and himself
down into the river, and being unable
to "coon" the rope on tho ascent, remained
in this condition for a very
considerable time before he was discovered
by the l'orryman. When
taken Into the flat ho was in a very
exhausted condition, and it is thought
that he would have perished in a little
while.
Ca.pt. D. E. Williams has bought
the stock of Mr. J. 13. Rogers and
will henceforth carry on the business.
Mr. Rogers has gone into the country
to farm with Mr. John Devlin on
White Lick.

census taker for our County. It is a
very excellent appointment, as Mr. T. i

task.
It is thought that the fruit crop has
pot been seriously injured.
FOOLS. '
In Jackson, Tcnn., on Sunejay^
negro and a white man got jtrt?>r.'i
difficulty, in contending for tho inside
of the sidewalk. The white mar
was accompanied by a lady, and nc
blows were given or received at thai
time. On the Tuesday following the
white man caned the negro. The
matter was taken to Court, and the
Court decidcd that as the white man
was walking upon tho right side o!
tho sidewalk, the negro should have
given way or moved to the right; he
was therefore fined $10 and costs foi
not moving to the right, also $1C
and costs for assault upon the same
occasion. The white man was alsc
fined.
It is hard for us to tell which ol
thcr two was the bigger fool. Common
sense, it seems, would dictate to
the gentleman the propriety of walking
around a brute .so totally depraved
as to bo so wanlfng in self-respect af
j not to give way at the approach of a
lady. As to any foolish contention
about the inside ol' the sidewalk, it
. seems ridiculous in sensible people.
As for ourselves we have no objection
to either side, and if the parties
| wc meet show a decided preference,
I WC Have 110 OOJCCliyil IU llii'll iuhhi^
I their choice, it's nothing but a sentiment
about which on!\ small minds
j will quarrel. This cirenmstanco rc|
minds us of a little incident,
j which is said to have occurred beitweentwo
gentlemen, prominent in
the town in which they lived, but
! who entertained no good feeling for
each other. One day upon meeting,
I one said, "I don't give the side walk
to scoundrels," when the other bowed,
and suiting tho action to the word,
blandly said, "I do."
The Political Future.?'The results
of the late Connecticut election
afford the most cheering hopes of future
Democratic successes, and the certain
overthrow of Grant and his party. The
issue was presented in that State with
every possible advantage to the administration,
yet the result has been a
crushing defeat. Every influence was
brought to bear, and every strong sectional
appeal made to array the people
of Connecticut against the South and
its sympathizers, vet without ell'eet.
It was urged by-Speaker Blaino and
others that a Democratic victory would
transfer political power from the North
to the South?that of the ISo electoral
votes for President, a united South would
give 13S votes being only 47 to beobtained
from the North; and that the only
hooc of the country consisted in keep
ing power in the hands of those who
had stood by the Government in its
hour of sorest need. Such are the specious
arguments, and selfish appeals
which were urged before a Connecticut
audience to defeat the Democracy, but
they were unavailing and Grant may
hence read the change in public seutiment
which foreshadows his doom.
??>
Feat ok PKXMAXsiim?We had the
pleasure of inspecting a few days since,
one of the most remarkable specimens
of penmanship which we have ever
witnessed, being the handiwork of Mr.
J. C. Wosmansky, of the Probate office,
whose reputation as a skillful penman
is unrivaled. It consisted of a manuscript
copy of the four first chapters of
Genesis and three verses of the fifth,
written on an ordinary postal card, and
containing three thousand and thirty
words. It was written with the naked
eye and with u crow's quill, and occupying
so small a space, is necessarily so
minute in its letters, as to require the
u?e of a magnifying glass to bo read
with ease by most eyes. The completion
of the work required live hours,
and shows a degree of skill in the use
of the pen which cannot be surpassed.
Penmanspip is, however, only one of
Mr. W.'s many accomplishments, and
he is one of the most otlicient otlicers
that we have ever had in the Probate
ofiice.
Facto it v Notes.?1The Phtenix publishes,
with high commendation of the
spirit manifested, our paragraph with
regard to the proposed action of the
Granges in establishing a Cotton Factory
on the .Saluda at Irwin's Mill, and
calls attention to other proposed enterprises
of similar character?the csta
blisiiment ot a new cunuu uicuny ai
Augusta, Ga., ami tho opening of the
books of the Congaree Manufacturing
Company at Columbia. These investments
are the best paying in the country
and ofl'er inducements to capitalists.
... ? .?>?
The Xcu> York litraid has been publishing
quintuple sheets of twenty-four
pages, and eighty-four columns of advertisements.
This is a specimen of
newspaper enterprise and business prosperity,
which is unexampled. It affords
too u sign of a business revival which is
very encouraging. The Herald is perhaps
the most wonderful newspaper in
the world, and distances all competitors
[injournalistic enterprise, anil successful
business management.

that old Ben's memory is so;v

i The Fashionable Spelling Matches oi
''Spelling Bees. '
Tlie rage for contests in orthogra
} pliy seems to posses ti?u country
5 and none the loss in the great cities
- than in rural neighborhood.*. Wash
ington, Baltimore, New York, Bostor
' Chicago and, we believe, every othei
I prominent city in the country hold
I these battles every week, and tine;
1 them very amusing, and all the de
1 tails of the fight appear in tho papers
' next morning. A "'great spelling
match" was held in Lincoln Ilall
Washington, on thu evening of the
1 31st ultimo. After 11 long unci lively
competition, Miss Clara Ball and pro*
lessor II. L. Thomas were left sole
combatants, and Miss Ball then broke
i down on the word "jib" spelling it will
a "g," leaving the Professor the victoi
" of the field and owner of the prize?
' a Webster,s dictionary. We note this
r particular match which is reported
) by the Washington Chronicle, because
. for the first time, we find the rules o
r the game printed. The reader ma\
* feci an interest in knowing them .
