COUNTRY EDITORS.
'They Should Rend Their Exchanges, t
When we look over a batch of ex- i
changes, we cannot help being im- ;
pressed with the difference in ttie city I <
editor and the country editor.. A major- j <
ity of the country editors look to one or j ]
two city papers for the warp and woofi)
iof all their editorials, and then fill their |<
columns with extracts from these same i
papers, without, it seepis to us, ever)
opening the papers of thoir nearest^
neighbors. Should anything occur injt
one County, two chances to one that tl?e
editor who publishes a paper in the ad-1 ]
joining County will never see it, unless I i
it gets into the column of uews items in j'
the daily which the editor takes?s his r
file leader. To make an interesting J
:paper, we think ah editor shouWlookjj
?lt all the papers, as the city editor does. ,
The city editor looks to the County i
|mper, not for the purpose of getting 1
*L:-- <?'? ti\ nrurli<><it(t A I
^ ?onjet,umg u|n/u uuivu ? j.
/ tang political editorial, but with the it
Vle?v of extracting and boiling down h
whatever of local or news matter the *
paper may contain pertaining to that j8
particular section of the State. We .
notice that some of our ablest exchanges, 1
the Chronicle and Sentinel, and the '
CowstitutionaliHt, of Augusta, for in- *
stance, never let a single paragraph cs- 1
cape their eye. The Atlanta Constitution
Aiid the Charlotte Observer, it seems to
us, read the C-ounty papers from the
most distant parts, while the Columbia,
Charleston and Greenville dailies do the (
same, but there are man}' country editors I
-who see but little which is not contained 1
* - <-J *> *! anr4 h n i r nnlili.
in one 01 un-sc uumw. ?>iu Kuw>. .
-cations are not much short of an inferior i
country edition of the paper they choose t
.as their tile leader. The poorest paper <
in the State may furnish an item for the <
:best paper in the world, and we think !
many of our country exchanges could s
t>e vastly improved by reading their j
County exchanges. >
We make these remarks without any ]
reference to any particular editor. They 1
:are not intended to be personal, and if t
they were such, they would never be i
.seen by that class of editors to whom i
they are applicable, unless their tile t
leader should copy this article. i
,
THE RENTING OF LAND. '
A Word to Landlords nad Tenants. I
We desire to call the attention of our '
.agricultural friends to what appears to I
us to be a mistaken idea of the rule for
renting farming lands. As we understand
it, the great majority of persons
require a portion of the crop for the rent
of the land This, in our opinion, isa |
mistake. As well might the own- j
-erof a store house say to the merchant <
that he would require a portion of his <
oa fnr ?lio mnipr nl ji farm to re- i
.quire his tenant to give him a part of
hisprofita. A store has a fixed or estimated
value, and the merchant agrees
to pay that sum. and we think the same
rule should apply to farmers as well as
to store keepers. The fourth or third
of the crop is more than a fair rent, an i
the system offers but little inducement
to the industrious renter.
By this rule the lazy man pays not
half as much rent the thrifty and industrious
planter. If laud is worth ten
dollars an acre, it is easy to say what
would be a fair rent in money by the
.acre. If a man is a poor farmer, the
owner of the land makes but little, but
if the tenant is indu-Tious and thrifty, ]
then be has to pay a great deal more for
the same land than his lazy neighbor ,
pays. Let all lands be routed for a *
.stipulated amount in money.
Alarming Increase of Conrt and Jail
Expenses. i
Never in the history of Abbeville i
have there been as many prisoners in
our jail as there have been tin's year, t
and our courts have been burthened *
with the trial of many trivial cases. 3
Crime must be punished* however much
it may cost, but we trust that some new j
system may be devised that will lessen }
the forms of trial and the expense of
punishment. Could not Trial Justices
try more of the cases at a tenth of the .
eost which is incurred in the higher .
<!ourts? Cannot the Legislature in its
wisdom, devise some plan to make prisoners
self-sustaining? It seems to us *
that a law giving employment at some 1
of the public works, would be beneficial 1
both to the County aud to the convicts.
During, the last, fiscal year, it took 1
forty per cent, ol our taxes lor court anu
jail fees. We appeal to our representa- (
tive? iu the Legislature to make an ef- j
fort to relieve us in part of th Is great
burthen. ^
Do they Live in Abbeville?
To the descendants of Mary Beam, <
, whoabout 1779 married in New Jersey I
married a person named McGee or Mc- i
/Kee, aud removed to South Cajolina: 1
Pursuant to a decree of the Court of
Chancery made in the cause of Ander- (
son vs. Kilbome, the heirs at law and |
next of kin of Jacob Beam, late of the
Villageof Beamsville, in the Coynty of
Lincoln, Proviuce of Ontario, Canada, ,
who died in the month of June, 1858,
are, ou the 10th day of January next, to
<coine in and prove their claims as such
heirs at law and Dext of kin, before the
Master in Ordinary of the said court, in I
the city of Toronto, Canada, or iu de- i
fault thereof they will be peremptorily I
-excluded from the benefit of the said j
decree. For further information apply i
r to G. Magrath, 32 Broad street, Charles- <
ton, 8. C.
Oor Streets Worked Without Cost.
The Town Couucil of Abbeville hold
the'r Court on Saturdays, when laborers
are secured for the next week. The
Council have been without money for 1
several weeks, but the work on the '
streets goes on. The fines and penalties 1
imposed upon offenders against the !
peace and quiet of the town, are sufficient
to keep up the public improvements.
If the loafers in the jail under :
.sentence of the County Court or the
"Trial Justices' Court, were puL at the i
same kind of business, it would be bet- j
ter. It h hard for honest people to be j
taxed from fifteen to twenty-five dollars,
because a thief chooses to appropriate to i
his own use a chicken belonging to his i
ifllorhKnr ,

Our delinquents will please bear in j
mind that it costs us money to buy pa'per,
an6 that we are not able?even if (
' 'we were disposed?to send t!ie Press

If you waut our paper we shall be <
more than glad to send it to you for the ;
money. We have this week erased a \
number of uames because of their fail- }
ure to pay, and we trust that they will n
settle their arrearages without further
trouble. Those who have paid have our
hearty thanks for their consideration in 1
discharging a little debt. We trust that j
they may live long and prosper, and j1
always regard the Press and Banner a!1
Necessity around the cheerful ingle ofj I
happy households. {

The T Rail.
The Desired Information.?Ou
>steemed neighbor of the Newberr.
Hi raid says: "The editors of tlx
Press and Banner are Dot the men fo
jraall "tea parties" nor have they trav
iled much, otherwise they would knov
where the T rail is situated. Lest the;
rail at us again we hasten to infom

More Lzcjht.?The following is wha
:he LuurcmviUc Herald has to say abou
he T rail:
"For the information of our Press am
[fanner friends, (the Junior more especial
y, as we shall look for him on the lirs
rain after the Road is completed,) wo wil
state that tho "T rail" extends from thi
dace about twelve miles and a half in tin
iireetion of Newberry. Docs this bit o
nforination unravel tho "riddles?" If not
ome over, Mr. Junior, and take a gooi
ook at some of (lie Laurens "fairs," (as wi
lelieve you are still in single misery,) am
>y that means you will have an opportuni
y of judging "as to where the T mil is,'

Thank you, brother Ifrrald, we hav<
ong been waiting the completion o
hat important railway. We'll com*
hen and see the "fairs'* too, if the di

Poetical Editor.
That excellent paper and most wel
:ome visitor to our sanctum, the Char
ot(c Observer, is particularly blessed ii
laving a poetical local editor who ha
nore poetry at his command than an;
nan of whom we have any acquain
ance. If an organ grinder stops at hi
loor he has a poetical quotation for th
>ccasion ; if a mule kicks an aldermai
icels over head into a gutter, he con

jropriate verse; if anybody kills hi

Love at First Sight.
It has been doubted by some whethe
:here was ever such a thing as love a
first sight. Let doubting Thomase
joubt no more. We have a case in viev
which will forever settle this dispute<
question. Until quite recently theedito
if the Greenville New* and the edito
it the New Era mutually enter
Gained for each the most repngnan
feelings, but a recent visit of Colone
Speights to Greenwood brought a chang

turned their mutual feeling of dislik<
:o that of love and affection. A littl
issociation with each other softened th<
hard and stony heart of the gallan

altogether lovely and devoted to th<
wiley heart of the manly Speights, win
