The entertainments given iuthe<3wrt House last week for the benefit 'otfflie Silver Cornet Band of Abbeville, were quite a success in every respect?puccess'ful in entertaining large audiencoa an^ successful in rafsing a very considerable amount of money for the young gentleJ men in their efforts to purchase instruments. Each night there was a goodly attendance of ladies and geutlerueu. The following PROGRAMMES wiHv> give some idea of the interesting character of the entertainments:? "COOL AS A CUCUMBER." Old Barkins, J S Dickinson; Frederick Barkins, 6 C Cason; PJumper, J S Thompson ; Jessie Honitojo, Miss Mihnie Lornax; Wiggins, MissJEiiza Tusten. "LOVE IN LIVERY*" Lord SparbJe, J C Hemphill; Frank Howard, T P Cothran; Paul Patent, W j T Branch; Thomas, G B Lythgoe; Violet, Miss Rebecca C Cothjan ; Louise, .Miss Ida Alien ; Mary, Mfes Eliza Tusten; Susan, Miss Minnie Lomax; servants, company. : ? "stage stkcck Yankee." Douglass Double, T P Cothrau ; Capt Chunk, H D Wilson ; Curtis Chunk, T M Galphin ; Richard, Wade S Cothran; Fannie Magnet, Miss Ida Allen ; Jedi<lah. Miss Rebecca C Colhrau. THE PERSONNEL OF THE COMPANY is thus briefly and imperfectly commented on, that our readers may know domething of the ladies and gentlemen composing the Abbeville Thespian Oorpsr __ THE DIVINITIES. MISS REBECCA C. COTITHAX wears the grace of & little queen, whoi might preside vita ease in a palatial mansion, and Is- one before whoru princes might appear as courtiers, while gallant spirits on ?very hand are ready to do homage. MISS MIJNIE A. LOMAX would-adorn a nyal court. The effect of her beautifulface, sparkling eyes and perfect figure is heightened by tiie in- j aescribable chirm of "style." The! ? *weet mannerjin which ehe listens is ' only surpasxe<fby thesweeter voice with wliich she replies. MBS IDA ALLEN is a blonde, at fair as Blanche, with the carnation in !>er cheek as delicate as the pink. She fe tall and graceful?"her voice is lo".* and sweet," and her heart so full of human kindness that it wins to her all other hearts. MISS ELIZA TUSTEN'S beauty is acknowledged by every one. *Her tall, graceful figure and her I charming, cultivated self-possessed manners throw around her a magnet-j Ism which none am resist, and all deJiglit toae.mowledge. THJi: ORDINARY CLAY. '6 """" I , MIL J. S. DICKINSON, in the/play of "Cool as a Cucumber," i acted well the part of "Old Barkius," while j DR. J. 8. THOMSON plauud to perfection the character of) "Pj/umper," and amused his auditors - .v. , . 1 i 1 ? .i ; VWll\ iUS Cdlll liiipuiieuuK aim (reiKTi FBMA3aisregard of all the rules of Chesterfield-. tan etiquette. MR. S. C. CASOX did himself credit for the handsome hianuer in which he assumed the character of "Frederick Barkins'" and his etfoits justly won tbehfeart and hand of; theciy "Jesse Honitou." MR. J. C. HEMPHILL'S self-possession and good articulation1 was observed by all. His part in "Love; ' and Livery," was so well acted that a; number of young ladles fell in lovei J'"* with him aud went back to the Court: .House the next night especially to see! , liim again in the play. He may now! choose ills divinity aud act the part of the gallant with the hope of success. , MR. W. T. BRANCH l|;'. is conceded by all to be the star actor of . the company. He always performs the niost difficult parts apparently with the j greatest ease, and never fails to ^'bring down the house." MAJ. T. M. OALPHIN as a lawyer can't be beaten. His orato-j ly aud eloquence is superb. He missed j hi* calling when be failed to select the legal profession. MR. O. BIRKIJf LYTHGOE ... ill hitt every day life* is following the j *;* footsteps in which Franklin trod, and! . lie may yet be as great a genius. He \t)ay? no particular attention to the Igntma, yet he performs his part adraira^ ME. THOMAS P. COTHRAN can take a hand at anything, and is always called upon. He never fails to( please the men hud always charms the; girls. , MASTER WADE S. OOTHRAX, like hl9 brother Thomas, is ever ready to assist whenever called upon and al1 ways acts hw part well. MR. JOHN A. CALHOUN in the farce of "Dutch Justice," amus, . ed the audience and would have made ai regular Dutchman yield the palm. He - sentenced one prisoner to the peniten-i tiary for ?eveu huudred years for carry- ] ing a hand-organ and exhibiting a monkey?which we think a righteous judgment. Another prisoner, who had ! privately interviewed the Judge, assome of the reconstruction judges have! been, was sent to the best hotel, and the' ^ sheriff was ordered to buy him a new ?uit of clothes. Mr. Calhoun also appeared as the average Southern political ? colored speaker, and at another time he: gave a specimen of Shaksperiau elo-| iJ -qucnce. MR. L. W. PERRIN ordinarily has the reputation of being a good- looking man, but when he assumes the personnel of au Ethtopian, good Lord! MR. MANSFIELD HOLLINOSWORTIl'S sweet tenor added .very much to the If music. MR. A. W. JONES * * Is a tramp, and entertained the audience by his ventriloquism, and by imitating the sounds of various birds and notably i^^that of the mocking bird and many domestic fowls. ^ DR. H. D. WILSON being the manager credit is due to him for the management, while the company reflected credit upon themselves. To <he Doctor as much as to any one else ?re we indebted for the brilliant entertaiments. k MR. J. W. TROWBRIDGE $ was an active worker and did fully his Esi V- f ?x !? t.?, pit* pun in ujj uic cuici litiiiuit-ui g$ and in. making the charades a success. ellent mujic orv each ..evening 'contributed to the pleasure of all. MR. JA*lt3 II. PERRIN * ' is the Treasurer1 of the Cornet Band and is an efficient worker In behalf of the enterprise, and although he furnished jio music on these occasions, yet he has plenty of music in his. soul, which he Will dispense as soon as the instruments '6oiae. ' MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT. K THE CONCERT ON FRIDAY NIGHT " ' was a'splendid success, and delighted all who were present. Miss Aiken, of Cokesbury, tJ?e talented and accomplished music teacher in the Cokesbury Masonic Female College, discoursed piost excellent music, and Messrs. Wideman and Bradley, of Long Cane, sang some of their best songs. Miss \yillie CoDgler's song of the " Poor Beggar Girl at the Bich Lady's L)oor," was so well rendered that many eyes were ready ,to weep. The Misses Doru, of the Hard Labor neighborhood, jcontributed some beautiful pieces of ; music, and Mrs. Quarles and Mrs. Bowie in their duet of the "Gipsy Girl " could not have been surpassed. Mits. j. s. (VrriiUAX by her untiring energy in assisting, and by her superior skill in directing, did perhaps more than any other person towards the success of the entertainments, and the entire company ac " ' *- -1-1-A- J I Knowledge llieir iMuuuiuuuess iu iiei. We,have no doubt that the Cornet Band will show their appreciation of her services in their first serenade. OTHKK WORKERS jmay have generously assisted in the i above mentioned labors, but their I names have never been directed to our notice, or if so, they have been unintentionally overlooked, and we shall have to crave their indulgence for the omission. ?? The State Fair in Columbia offers ! a premium of three hundred dollars to the County that has the most creditable exhibition of articles at Columbia on the 9th of November. We trust that AO Devi Lie win uo ner wuoie umy. .i^ast year our County had one-fourtfy of all the articles ou exhibition, and our people bore ofF a large per cent, of the premiums. Abbeville so far has stood at the head of the list, and we see no reason why she should not still continue to do so. Get your articles ready and ship them, marked to "Col. D. W. Aiken, Columbia, from , Abbeville." TherailroaJ company will generously transport all such articles free of expense, and the committee, consisting of Colonel F. A. Connor, Major II. A. Griffin, end Mr. Hugh Wilson, will be in Columbia to take charge of all such articles and see that they are carefully packed and safely returned to the proper owners. In Columbia every convenience has been completed, and guards will be in attendance whose duty it will be to take the best of care of eyerything. I IN Abbeville County hundreds ofi thousands of dwllars have been paid for commercial fertilizers. We will give one year's subscription to the Press and Banner for information establishing the fact that one acre of ground has been made rich by this large expenditure. Home made fertilizers can alone do any permanent good. Fertilizers may stim-' ulate some lands for a little while, but I they leave the land poorer than before! their application. We cau't afford to have our land permanently ruined to make one or two crops. Rev. J. C Hidkk, the learned and acceptable na> lor of the Baptist church at Greenville,* has announced that he has "entered upon the duties of editor of the Sunday department of the Greenville News.1' His ready pen will doubtless be an acquisition to the editorial stall oi mat enterprising journal, uuu we welcome Mr. Hiden as. a shining light into the ranks of the editorial brotherhood, but if the old gentleman who keeps the brimstone mill don't call for him in less than six months for editing such a paper aw the Greenville A'cws, we shall deem it a special'wonder. Gov. Chamberlain was present at the Greenville Fair, and delivered anj address to a large audience on Thursday, j which was highly commended by all who listened to it. He was the guest of the city, and received much attention at the hands of all classes of the people. J He seems to have been highly pleased j with his reception, and speaks in glowing terms of the future of the Mountain; City. No good farmer will neglect to prepare his lands to sow enough wheat for his own consumption. We trust no planter in Abbeville County will come to any of the ditlerent depots to buy flour next Summer. Such a course is1 suicidal, and we trust that the wivesj and children of Abbeville County will; make their husbands and fathers pro-1 vide flour for their own use. It's a shame for a farmer to buy flour. We have always believed that we had j the best Agricultural County in theI world, but since the Due exhibition of wheat, corn, cats, &c., at the Fair we know it, ami we pronounce it a shame for our people to be compelled to buy flour and corn. It seems to us-that a good farmer would be ashamed to be seen hauling such products from the depot. We hope those who send fine specimens of grain or other products will allow the Committee to turn over a few ears or a small quantity of grain to Col. Aiken to exhibit at the Louisville Grange Repository and at the Philadelphia Centennial. The name of the sender shall be attached. Abbeville at the State Fair. ? Abbeville is expected to be well represented at the State Fair. Among the 1 >11 1 V, 11,1. many wim win nave ^imus wu vauiuition, we would mention Mrs H W Lawson Mrs John W Sign, Mr James McCaslan, Mr A M Aiken, Mrs ABC Lindsay, Mr E Westfleld, Mr Robert Pratf. Maj R A Griffin, Col D W Aiken, and a host of others. If we had control of all the idle mules and horses that are daily hitched to the racksof the townsiu Abbeville County, we could sow wheat and oats enough to feed man and beast perpetually. It ruffles our feelings to free norsesand mules thus! idle, when the wheat and oats are not sowed. i Much has been said about raising hogs. W'e are in favor of the investment, especially as long as the law allows them to forage on our poor neighbor's crops?unless he puts a high fence around his corn. He hasn't got the timber. and we know our hogs can get his corn. The Columbia Fair will not allow speed tests this Fall. This we regard as unfortunate, as the races draw large crowds, and go far towards making the enterprise a success. Without the races ft.nr rlmt. fhp Fair will be a tame af fair. The Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer is neatly printed. Their new I press works beautifully. We learn that Greenville has eight presses. Four in i the Mountaineer office aud four in the Ntu's office. The largest cucumber that we have ever seen was on exhibition at our Fair. It was six Inches in diameter and nineteen inches long, and was exhibited by Mrs. E. Calhoun, of Monterey. If a man so far forgets himself when he comes to town, as to get drunk, and make an ass of himself, we thinkjhis friends should keep him at home dmtil he learns to behave like a gentleman. If the law made a man responsible for the damages his hogs may do to his neighbors' crops, Jack Gordon would get pay for his potatoes which were rooted up last week. Tozrr, the steam engine man of Columbia. had an engine and gin on ex hihition at the Fair grounds last week. His machinery was much admired. The Juxior is proving his faith by his works. He is sowing largely of oats. He expects to make a small fortuna next Spring. The wife that has not had flour to cook this Summer should make the "old man" go to his merchant ami get seed wheat to sow. ? The boy tljnt carries corn bread to school while' his neighbor has "cake," should now put in a plea for the sowing of wheat. There are in Abbeville village about twenty-live hogs ami about louy cows,. To keep these hogs and cows off our crops, it costs hundreds of dollars annually. i.? Capt. W-. K. Bradley is a public spirited gentleman and a practical citizen who is anxions to see our Fair a ; success. He makes some suggestions, which we think, if acted upon, might add additional interest to tbi&^ai.-nual re-union of fellowship and good feeling between our citizens. He thinks good speeches should be of no secondary importance, and believes that if additional premiums were offered to other classes of horseback riders for each day, and premiums given for the best teams of mules, horses aud oxen, and also for single draft horses, mules and oxen, that new contestants would enter for the premiums and add interest to the ocea i s1ui1. I Quick Work.?In September Messrs Connor & DuPre insured a dwelling of T.J.Ellis. In two weeks after it was burned, and on 22d?less than three weeks after the fire, the policy was paid in cash. Persons desiring to insure their property against loss can do so by applying to Mr. DuPre at Abbeville, or Mr. Connor at Cokesburv. They represent a number of excellent companies, who are prompt to settle losses sustained by the insured. Commercial fertilizers to have any effect on the crop must injure the land to that extent. There is no douBt that good fertilizers will ruin the land. Better use mean guanos as you then only lose the money thrown away in the purchase, for guanos stimulate land for ^little while and then leave it poorer than ever. I wt T) Wttm?va v nnH Opfirirp r,?ono. it * j ?? Bradley rendered very material assistance on Friday night at the Concert. They are noted for their musical talent and their songs added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening's entertainment. Long Cane has some excellent young men and none more so than Messrs. \V. and B. We trust our friends in other counties will not think our farmers negligent of their duty by our urging the sowing of grain. Our planters are the hardest working men in the world, but much of their labor has been absorbed on cotton and the minor matters have escaped j their attention. I Now is the time to secure a mean old cow to break down the poor fences of your neighbor's, so that your stock may graze on his barley, oats ana wneat next Winter and Spring. He .can't make a lawful fence, and your stock can gather his crop. Mb. J. Y. Sittox, of Due West, one of the best carriage-makers in the State, was at the Fair last week. He rendered efficient service on some of the committees, and took a premium for some superior specimens of his handiwork. Messks. T. J. Ellis, J. N. Cochran, C. G. Finley, J. M. Mathews, J. D. Ellis, T. W. Pace and W. A. Moore, of our County, were among those who attended the Greenville Fair last week. Mr. John Patterson, who has taken the Press and Banner from the day of its first pnblication, says it is a better paper now than ever before, and his head is exactly level. Now is the time for the poor old dar-1 key to cut pine poles and brush to pro-! tect his next year's crop from the depredations of his rich neighbor's cows and hoes. Now come the cotton-selling day*, the! brightest of the year, when the farmer! promptly pays his debt and rids himself of care?when the price is high enough, j Mr. J. P. Youso, of Lowndesville, was here during the Fair. He is agood farmer, an<>a zealous worker for the interests of the Fair. Any farmer who has plenty of land in Abbeville County should blush to ti*ll that he has to buy Western tlour fop his own use. 'WOur friends have been making a run . - ? ?? II, K.,0 J,?Qn on Kosenoer>5 b overcwu#. xio in? selling an excellent article at a low price for the cash. v >J Laurens County had some handsome representatives at our Fair last week, and among the number was Miss Sullivan. ' .1 We can furnish hundreds of certifl-J cates from the most intelligent men of Abbeville Couuty that guanos are a humbug. The best thing for a horse or mule in the,Spring is a good green pasture?this may be gained by sowing a bushel of barley. Maj. R. A. Griffin has returned from Tate Springs. There are some very pleasant rumors as to the Major of late.See advertisement of Messrs. Wallingford & 'Armstrong, who advertise some fine horses and mules for sale. Mr. B. C. DuPre, with his better half and the little duplicate of himself, was in attendance at the Fair last week. Served Him Right.?A negro was lynched in Atlanta, Ga., recently, for committing rape on a white woman. Col. Miller is expected to give oats sowing farmers some good suggestions I Uowlrtir ATirt AO fU tt?* LU UJC i5U W J I!q U1 uaucj auu vuvo* The rich man ought immediate!}', to turn out ills razorback hogs to eat the bottom corn of his poor neighbors. The little boy who has been fed on mean corn bread all thjs year should now ask his father to sow wheat. This gallows upon which Banks was hung last vsar still stands in the jail, [yard, as a warning to evil-doers. I The proposed change in school books, it is estimated, would cause an expense of from $5 to $8 for each pupil. The firm of McGhee & Bros, had their brother Benjamin at the Fair, as a representative of their firm. In a few years we believe the man who would be seen hauling guano home will be laughed at or pitied. I DR. lii. fAKKEB is now a xioytii atuii : Mason. Mr. L. M. Foucho oi NinetySix can testify to the fact. Mr John Moork, of the firm of Moore & Quarles, was representing his firm at the Fair last week. Gov. Chamberlain has subscribed five hundred dollars to the Furman University at Greenville. Mr. John A. Calhoun hasn't got | his five dollar bill, but the negro who | had it is now in jail. j .Captain Charles Smith, of Cokes: bury, gave encouragement to the Fair ;.by his attendance. Mrs. Rabb, of Due West, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Jessie, was ,at the Fair. Nothino in life is half so sweet (to a i horse) as young barley. Sow a patch in November. If we use good fertilizers much longer the land of Abbeville County will be ruined. Mr. Viney Griffin sounded the horns around the walls of Jericho last j Friday. Dk. J. L. Miller was among the representatives here last week from Due West. Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Jackson represented Ninety-Six at the Fair. Spartanburg will furnish Anderson !iU fhnSi. 1?aSh L Willi liiusii; uuiu?5 x au. Mr. A. M. Aiken is an active worker for the success of the Fair. t The fire wood haulers are beginning to reap their annual harvest. Major Baxter, of the Newberry Bar, was in town last week. '| Mr. J. F. C. DuPre's fowls were , much admired at the Fair. We had no thieves or piok pockets at Abbeville last week. 9 OUR DEAD. Mu. Joel S. Anderson, a wel known citizen of the Saluda eucteoi of our County, died at the resident of his brolhor, Mr. ilobert W. An derson, near Greenville, from con sumntion, last week. His remain woee brought down for interment Ir the train on Monday. Ho was agooi citizen, and leaves many relatives am friends to mourn his loss. Da F. ,H. Edmunds, a well koowi physician of the Bordaaux section died last week. Ho had man}' excel lent traits of charactor. He leaves i large farmily and many friends t< mourn his loss. Mrs. G. W. Collins, an estimabl and accomplished lady, died at he home in this County, on Tuesday o the past week, of typhoid fever. He; funeral sermon was preached on th< day following at Bculah church, b] Ctle Rov. Mr. King, and sho was in terred in the family burying grounc of Mr. Morton. She possessed in j hign degree all the graces ofth< Christian character, and had endeaFec hersell to a wide circle of friends She leaves a husband and child, anc many others, to mourn her loss. The following is a list of the officen elected at the annual meeting of th< Abbeville Agricultural Society, on th< 20th of October, 1875 President, D W Aiken; Vice-Presi dent, J S Cothran ; Secretary and Treas urer, W H Parker; Directors?W Joe Smith, H W Lawson, John Knox, F A Connor, A M Aiken, J H Wideman, J P Young, Wrii Wilson, P H Bradley, B A Griffln, Jas Pratt, A B Wardlaw ? - - t w wh ifo tat j? inance ^u[ulliihcc-jj n McCaslan, J W Perrin. The Largest Crop of Oats Eves Sown.?It is estimated that there if now twice as much land sowed in oatt as there was last year, and there was twice as much sowed last year rfl there was the year previous. This looks like business, anil if we can persuade oui people* to pay their debts and to buy homes and farms for their little ones, instead of throwing away their money on life insurance, and for the purchase of worthless guanos, triding lightning rods, and useless well-pumps, they will prpsper and be happy. Many a poor farmer to-day regrets that the mortgage for guanos is now over his crop. It is too late now. Pay up and do so no more. Experience teaches a dear school, and it is said thai some people won't learn at any other. We are pleased to aunounce the mar riage of our old friend, Dr. J. A. Gibeft, of Bordeaux, to Miss Nee Tennant, of Marietta, Ga., on th? 13th inst Our best wishes attend the happy couple. Dr J A Stuart, at Ninety Six last yeai sowed barley on less than an acre o) ground. This Spring he sold, the croj: lor S147.00. Tliere is no reason wuy yoi shouldn't do as well. The "gentleman" farmer who stands in the shade and grumbles about unre^ liable labor should by all means now sow oats, as his credit may not be gooc next year. Maj Griffin will sow during No vember fifty bushels of barley to sell tc the breweries. It is the most profitabh crop sowed in this country ?sow immediately. We returnjour thanks to Col. Jamei A.. Hoyt, the Secretary, for tickets t< the Anderson Fair, which comes off this week, being the27th, 28th, and 29th inst To avoid giving liens next year sow a barley patch, during November which will carry you until your oats ar< ripe. Mr. Rout. Pratt is one of the besi corn raisers in the County. He made this year 58 bushels to the acre on upland. Sow plenty of wheat. If you sliowU have some of the grain to sell nexl I If ti/? 11 orlrl f*^ vniir P.I'PHit. JV?. .. ..... ? rf ? Worthless lightning roils cost si) cents a foot. If j'ou want them, send t< the manufactory for them. "The righteous man regardeth thi life of his beast," and will now sow i bushel of barley for him. The farmer who paid fifteen dollars / barrel for ten dollar fiour last Suinmei should now sow wheat. A patch of barley costs almost noth ing and will feed a horse or cow fo months in the Spring. Your horse can live four months or one bushel of barley, if the barley ii sown at once. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Latimer, o Lowndesvllle, were at the Fair 01 Thursday. We advise merchants not to credi any farmer who neglects to sow whea and oats. Do lightning rod agents pay a licensi for the privilege of cheating our people' Gen. W. M. Gary, of Edgeflpld was in town on yesterday. Lightning Rods are a humbug, and not worth a snap. Long Cane had a good representa tion at the Fair. Our fences cost us five times as mucl as uui ittAcs. Rev. W. F. Pearson patronized tin Fair. Let well pumps alone?they won' do. It's not too late to so wbarley. THE CONSTITUTION OF ALABAMA The Constitution which has beer adopted by tbe recent convention will if ratified by the people, work very im portant changes, and effect a great re duction in expenditures. The law-making power of the State o Alabama is lodged with the Genera Assembly. This body is composed o members elected by the people everj two years. Its sessions are biennial and limited to fiftv days, without tin power to extend the time. The pay o members is reduced from six to four dol lars per day, anil their mileage Iron forty to ten cents per mile. This cliangt alone insures a saving every two yean of at least sixty thousand dollars. Nc bill can become a law unless it is refer red to a committee in the Senate ant House, and hus been read at length 01 its final passage, and the vote taken hj yeas and njys aud entered 011 the jour nal. Lobying is prohibited under heavy pen alties?the Legislature is prohibited fron passing any law except of a general an< public character?also from extendim aid to railroad enterprises and others o like character. The new Constitution puts a limit t< the power of the Legislature to levy am collect taxes. And the power of ever; town, city and county to tax is also re stricted. The rate of taxation in th future for State purposes can never gi higher than three-fourths of one pe cent, upon the assessed value of all tax able property. But the Legislature cai reduce this rate at any time when th people may demand it, and their im proved condition justifies the reduction No town, city or county can levy a high er tax than one-half of one per centun for ordinary county puryoses, and to pa; existing debts the rr.te is limited to one fourth of one per centum on the Stat assessment. 1 Tha Constitution makes also som salutary changes in relation to the pub lie schools, and.effects a very great ro (taction in offices and Premiums Awarded at the AbbgjiJla> \ ?

'HE PfllLADEAPBHA CENTENNIAL Let the State be Represented. no the Citizens of the different Counties in the State: At the annual meeting of the Abbe ille Agricultural Society, lately held in Luuevjue, m? junowiug rtauiunuu was (Jopted: Heaolved, That It is the sense of this ociety that South Carolina should be ^presented in the Centennial Exiiibiion at Philadelphia, by the products of er fields, fruits, lactories and mines, nd that each County in the State be squested to send a delegation to Columia during of the next State Fair, to 'ait upon the Governor and request the ppointnient of a suitable ana proper lommissioner to represent this State t the Centennial Exhibition with a iew to making known to the country le agricultural products of the State, ie character of its various soils, the ees of its forests, and its mineral and ther resources. Iu persuance of the above resolution 'e hereby invite the citizens of each ounty, (or the Agricultural Societies 'here organized,) to meet on Sale Day ext, or ou some early day thereafter, >r the purpose of appointing delega^ ous to assemble in Columbia during le noiuiug or tne ouue uair 10 carry nt the above resolution. The importance of this step must be pparent to all. In all probability eve/ other State in these United States ill be represented. Iudeed, many of j lem are erecting buildings for themslves with the object of affording in-1 -eased room and facilities for exhlbitig their various products, soils, timbers ad resources. South Carolina cannot do this, but lecan do much; and, if the people of le Stat.i desire to offer inducements to orthy aud desirable immigrants to lake their homes and assist in developig resources which they possess and liicb are now not developed only for le want of skilled labor and capital, no leans should be neglected which would lable us to be properly represented at le Centennial Exhibit ion at Pbiladeltiia. Will not every County send up a deletion to Columbia? D. WYATT AIKEN, JAS. S. COTHRAN, WM. H. PARKER, -Committee. I BNSUS RETURNS OP ABBEVILLE COUNTY.

A short time since a school book coraliasion of the public schools of the tate made an entire change in the :hool books used therein, and published le list for the guidance of teachers, and t the same time directed that each ;hool commissioner should rigidly en>rce their adoption and use. Since the meeting of the commisoners, the News and Courier publishi a letter from a correspondent making strong case against one J. Douglass iobertson, a member , of the commissi), of having entered into corrupt egotiations with leading Northern pub->. ?hera for the supply of these books, | hilst pledging hfs" influence to secure! le adoption of -the books, in lieu of ertain commissions. The proposals 'ere indignantly rejected by certain 'ell known publishers, and it remains ) be seen whether the proposals were ccepted by any. Since the agitation of the matter in ie JSJewn and Courier,:, Gov. Chamberliti and Mr. Shrewsbury, members of: ie commission, have declared their piorance of the action of Robertson,' nd have pledged a thorough investiga-J on of the matter, and a change in the j ooks selected, where any valid ob.jec-| 011 can be urged against them. But j e think as the News and Cnurier\ 'ell remarks, that this would do but lit-1 e to obviate the evil which must result j om an entire change in the school! ooks now in use throughout the State1 i thn public schools. The question is not what books are' ie best, but a question of making a 'holesalg change in books which havej een already purchased and arc now in: se, aud unless these books can be shown 1 > be radically objectionable, the comlon sense conclusion must be that no! liange should be made. In these books i ns of thousands of dollars of the hard ! irnings of the poor people of the State! ^ -1 1 ikAnJ ave oeen invested, uuu iu cuungc mem i ow would be an ille waste of the jieo-j le's money. If the school system is to j e made effective for good, it must be; lieved of all unnecessary expense, and ' ; is supreme folly to be constantly; hanging school books, and thus sad-! ling the poor people with a heavy ex-, ense. No change should be made in! ook8 to which no valid objection can 0 urged. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
