season for planting comes 011 the price
of cotton comes on, the price of cotton
js run up. Is this done to stimulate the
farmer to plant a large crop, or what
causcs the rise? Whatever may have
beeu the cause, do not let yourselves be
deceived. It is said that Southern farm<ars
have "cotton on the bruin," ami that
it is curable. When we consider the
.remonstrances that have been made
against the mania for cotton raising,
there seems to be some truth in the assertion,
that it is incurable. We think
.there is a reform now going 011 that will

THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIO:
AT LEXINGTON AND CONCORD.
The celebration of the one luindredt
anniversary of the first battles of th
American Revolution where the firs

shed in the cause of independence, a
fords one of the most cheeriugsigns tin

tlih country, ami encouraging the mos
earnest hopes, that the recollections t
those early days when Massachusetl
and South Carolina stood shoulder t

forever put to rest that spirit of scctioi
alism, which darkened tho intervenin
years and alienated the North and th
South.
It is impossible to contemplate th
first efforts of resistance on the part (
the American colonies t.o the unjust an
oppressive demands of the Britis
crown, without being put in a bctti
frsimn ?f mind to do justice to the nit
tivesof those who unfurled the bantu
of resistance in the winter of 'GO an
'61. The spirit which animated th
forefathers of the Revolution animate
their descendants, and as the firs
pledged "their lives, their fortunes an
their sacred honor," in the cause c
liberty, so the others emperille
their all in behalf of the same sacre
principles. The objects were the sain*
the motives equally exalted, and th
sacrifices made equally great, and th
only essential difference in the two res
olutions was the difference in resultsvictory

I Vice President Wilson's Views.
| The Vice President has been inte
v'twed by a eorrespoudentof the I'/ii
j udilphiu Tl.uix and expresses himst*
very fully upon current topics. Wit
regard to the "third term" heresy 1
expresses ft strong opinion against i
| agitation, and regards its discussion i
I very disastrous to the Republican part;
i The doctrine is so unpopular that 1
! has 110 idea that it will ever be made
J leading issue, and should be droppc
. from discussion.
Willi regard to the future of the II
i publican party, he takes a clieei in
I view, but his hopes of success depeu
( upon the return of those Liberal men
bers who seceded in JS72. But th;
seems to be a very remote contingenc;
judging of the purposes of the pari
from the extreme measures which we
pressed upon Congress during the la
'session, and which were defeated on
I by the lack of time. In the light
manifestations it seems mo
likely that the Vice-President will {
over to the Liberals than that they \vi
jreturn to rtie party fold, And tli
jt?-enis to be a very remote eontingeuc
judging from liis fears tliat the power
j the government is likely to fall in tl
hands of ex-rebels and their svmpatli
zer.s, in ease of a Democratic victor
! He urges that, as a strong card for tl
Republican party, but it is too late i
'! the day to oiler such a plea.

p OUR COURT.
= The session of our Ilxtra Court was
resumed on Wednesday last and con=
tinued until Friday, his Honor Judge
Carpenter presiding. The Equity Docket
was gone through and a good amount
- of business dispatched. In the case of
K of W. H. Parker, Commissioner, against
>r I Francis L. Wilson", in which the jury
1^1 found a verdict of $5,000 for Plaintiff", I
?i the Judge passed an order granting a|
L ! new trial unless the plaintiff would
| reinit$l,000 from the above sum, which '
d! last, we learn, has been acceded to and i
I J a verdict taken for $4,000.
j In the case of Dr. J. A. Gibert, and
I, |others, .against Dr. Wm. Teniinet, to:
(foreclose a mortgage given by the dei
fondant to his his children, much testiiuony
was taken to show the consideration
of the mortgage?on the part of
the Plaintiffs, that it was property of the
. children derived through their deceased
mother?and on the part of the cred-;
itors of Dr. Tennent, that the mortgage
was without consideration, as the proof
the wife vested absolutely in
('VX.J
h the kindred. The case was ably argued
e audatitsclo.se, the Judge bundled up
it the papers, and reserved his decision,
is In tiie case of Cochran against McKay
f- in which a stay .of proceedings had been
it granted by Judge Cooke, the Court din
rected that the case should be heard best!
f?i'e that Judge at Chambers. Upon the
>f papers there seems to be 110ground for
s further delay.
11 The Grange Movement
g The Courier-Journal thinks that Mr.
e Charles Francis Adams in a recent article
in the Tribune, takes a very nare
row view of the movement, when he
>r attributes its origin to an effort to put
d down the extortion of a few railroad
l> companies, nv.J hence regards the organ f
ization as 011 its decline slnee it has
?.li..wi.t , Hmfr fhp cause which
UUCll OllUIT II v?v -
i" brought it Into existoncc has been large-j
d ly imaginary.
o Such a view is as absurd, as to attribd
ute the war of independence to the tax
on tea, without regard to the catalogue
of grievances which preceded it. The
>f organization was intended for the mud
tual protection and benefit of the farmd
ers, and for the redress not of one but of
many grievances, and the protection of
v many vital interests. Organization
c in all other avocations has been found
necessary and useful, and why should
- it not beequally effectual in a calling
i- J which embraces so many interests, nnd
i-1 needs so much wise counsel and united
| action. The success of the organization
dj has vindicated its necessity and usefu'is
ness, and we wish it a prosperous fud
ture.
it The Great Libel Case
J Against the proprietors of the Charles/

Sheriff Bowcn in Charleston is still in
progress before Judge Heed in that city.

j The evidence so far has uecn very uwiuJaging
to Bowen, as the witness Grimes,
J1 j swears positively, anil his confessions
;Jon dillerent occasions, substantiate his
o! testimony, that he was hired by Bowen
e. j to kill Major White; his prosecutor bell
I fore a military court. This .is the most
..! serious of the charges made by the jVci/'s
Courier against Bowen, and is jusItificd,
under the Bill of Rights by
j?l the defence, as being matter proper for
. I publication, as it affected the character
i- of a public ofllcial. The News and
*-1 Courier has been doing a good service
' in the premises, and we trust that toI)
(i gether with a verdict of acquittal it
if j will receive the thanks of the public

v The Ckxtexx/ai,.?The celebration
o;of the one hundredth anniversary of
s.; American Independence, which is to
Jf, come oil" in Philadelphia next year, and
| which is designed to be a grand exposis.
ition of the industrial resources of all
j. nations,and especially of this country,
j. | is awakening increased interest, as the
r!timc approaches more nearly for the
:e I celebration. The State of Pennsylvania
11 j has appropriated a million of dollars to
)0' the centennial, the city of Philadelphia
ia million and a half, and prouauiy win
in a few weeks a million more, whilst
Isubscriptions from individuals in the
State will amount to a million. The
|U. S. Government has appropriated a
r"j half million to the same object, and the
i enterprise is urged upon the attention
of States and individuals by the news!
paper press North and South as one of
16 national interest, in which the whole
18 country should unite, since it must enJsj
ure to the general benefit. The States
>' (are especially called upon to make a
iejcreditable display of their respective
a: resources, and the State governments
should lend their aid in sustaining the
expense. The Exposition promises to
u| surpass anything that this country has
? J ever witnessed, and will doubtless be
IU! far ahead of those made at Paris, JLonjtlon,
and Vienna. The resources of the
llM world is to be laid under contribution,
y?J but the exhibition is to be truly Amerj
ican, and appeals especially to Amerire
cans who are interested in the material
sl progress and future greatness of this
'y! country.

The Mecklenburg Centennial.
The citizens of Charlotte, N. C., in
old Mecklenburg County, are making
extensive arrangements for the celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of
American Independence, which occurs
on the 20th of Mny. This declaration
of independence was made by a body of
the citizens of North Carolina, at a
point near where the city of Charlotte
nowstanda, on tfie 20th of May, 1775?
more than a j'ear before the Fourth of
July Declaration was made at Philadelphia;
in 1676, by the representatives
from the several colonies, It was in
North Carolina that the first act of open
resistance was offered to the British
government, and it was here that the
spirit of American liberty was first kindled
into a flame. The centennial is a
matter of national interest and will be
attended by an immense conconrse of
citizen?/?from all parts of the country.
Gen . Joseph E. Johnson will be Chief
Marshall, and Hon. John Kerr, of
North Carolina, who enjoys the reputation
of being one of the finest speakers
in the entire country, will be the
nf flip occasion. To all Southern |
people, nnd more especially to the people
of (lie two Carolrnas, this occasion
should be one oi* the profoundest pride
and interest. The members of the press
especially are very courteously invited
to be present,
Irwin's Factory.
J The Anderson Inlclligcnccr speaks nj
word of encouragement for Irwiu's Factory,
and all the papers of the State
note the proposed new factory with
kindness. The good wishes of all our
people go .with them in thir enterprise.
Although we have never been initiated
into the beauties of this order, if they
will go on with this work, we will at
least join them in furnishing a little of
the material aid so necessary m carrying
on enterprises of this sort. The
Intclligenccr says:
"The only method of enlarging the
business in the cotton region readily
and quickly is by co-operation among
the people. The Grange affords the
most suitable avenue to reach the farmer
in this effort to develop manufacturing
interests. Here is the opportunity to
concentrate energy and capital, and by
enlisting its organization in practical
developemeot of our resources, the
strongest incentive will bind the membership
together, and render the order
more popular and permanent as a beneficent
institution, working for the
common good of the entire community.
Hence, wo rejoice to note the present
movement for the establishment of a
eotton factory at Erwin's Mills, aud
trust that the originators will not suffer
an enterprise of such magnitude and
importance to languish and die for lack
of energetic effort and steady perseverivipnniiimim
urn fr<?elv offered to
advance the movement, and we shall be
pleased to hear further in regard to the
proposed enterprise."

Contracts to Carry the Mail.
The people of Abbeville County will
be pleased to notice that the Post Master
General advertises as follows :
"Proposals will be received at the
Contract OlHce of the Post Office Department
until 3 o'clock P. M. of May
31, (to be decided by June 10th,) for carrying
the mails of the United States
from July 1st, 1875, to June 30, 1S7G, on
the following routes *in the county of
Abbeville, State of South Carolina, and
by the schedule of departures and arrivals
herein specified, viz:
14170 From Donaldsville to Due West,
4 miles and back, six times a week.
Leave Donaldsville dailj-, except Sunday,
at 1.30 p m ; Arrive at Donaldsville
by 2.30 p m; Bond required with

14207 From New Market by Harrisburg,
to Lon? Cane, 27 miles and back,
once a week; Leave Acw AlarKci saiurday
at 8 a in ; Arrive at Long Cane by
5 p m; Leave Long Cane Friday at 8

Bond required with bid $300.
For laws relating to the Postal Service
forms of proposal, bond and certificate,
and for instructions and conditions to
be embraced in the contract, see advertisement
of this date in pamphlet form,
and to be found at the termini of each
route; or by addressing the Second Assistant
Post-Master General. Bids
should be sent in sealed envelopes, uperscribed,
"Mail Proposals, State of
South Carolina," and addressed to the
Second Asst. P. M. General, Washington,
D.C."
The route from New Market to Long
Cane has been long needed. We suggest
that the mail leave New Market on
Thursday instead of Saturday morning.
If it left on Thursday, the mails would
be in the Post Offices on Friday and
Saturday, ready for delivery. If the
mail reaches the offices on Saturday
night it will likely remain over to the
last of the next week as ourpeoplehave

Edgefield country beats the world
on murders. M. O. Glover and William
and Fayette Stevens got into a
into a difficulty last week. From 12 to
15 shots were fired. Glover fell mortally
wounded and died in a few minutes.
Fayette Stevens was wounded painfully
in wrist and thigh. William Stevens
was wounded in the stomach?though
not dangerously?and in the thumb.?
Neither of the Stevenses fell. Glover
received four or five wounas?one
through the heart and one through the
lungs. The Stevenses are in jail. The
Advertiser says :
"In this lamentable affair none of the
parties were in liquor. But that other
curse of our country and our times?the
carrying of concealed weapons?as usual
reared high its hideous and fatal head."
The Greenville News of the 1311), after
journeying around among the mail bags
for nine days, put iu an appearance at
this office last week. That paper of the
17th has not yet had its frolic out. We
look for it in a day or two.
