The Press and Banner. jh ABBEYILLIO, S. C. |o . _ :a Wednesday, July 19, 1876. | ^ 1 - 1 -3 ! ^ a Domocrotic Primary Nominations, (i Some seven or eight of the Demo- " ( ratio clubs iu pursuance of the reso-jM Jution adopted at the last meeting of ; b the central club, have made nomina- P tions for the respective offices to De:: filled ut the next election, which after j J: being .submitted to the central club P. are to be voted for at primary elections, 01 to be held subsequently in the respec- \ P' tivB clubs. Some of the lists of nominees have; ?t thu merit of distributing the several o1 candidates throughout the County;iW men who have been selected either on j tr account of their being well known to | ri the people of the County, or ofbeingjni the best representatives of the respec-jbl live sections. These tickets aregener-: hi ;1 in their selections and are designed j N to apportion the offices among the best j b; qualified, due consideration beiug *>i given to the claims of ali the sections. JJut in a majority of the tickets so far nominated, sectional feelings seem to have controlled, and the se lections have been chiefly local; of men who are not known beyond'thcir mvti neighborhoods; at least not suf ficiently known to furnish a guarantee of qualification, and to give them a p claim to the suffrages of the people of the County. The consequence of this action will Of, tliat mere will do almost as manv i candidates to l>e voted for us there are E clubs, and if the same system is con- hi tinned iti the primary elections, and I) .each club votes for its local favorites, es the largest club will elect its candi- w dates with perhaps a majority of less J< than a hundred votes. Vet these are oj to be presented before the people o! di .the County as their choice for the res- lii j>ectivc ottices, and to be supported by J lu them at the coming elections. The majority of the clubs are yet L. :to make their nominations, and with this view* of the importance of the .concentration of votes in the matter ,of making the nominations, and of1"' selecting the best men from the sever h1 sections, so distributing the names on each ticket, that due regard should " be had U? qualification and to neigh borhood Representation, we trust .that there will be a change in 4 lie -iiaW ,of selection?discard i up {local preferences, "ami making the fick&t .uiorc. general. This system of primary nominations is yei untried, and we tlii.uk that it will de feat tUe.^eat .Qlijoot.of its adoption il it fails to give us candidates who will command the confidencc aud enlist the ardent support of the people. Oats aud Barley.. We believe that the production of ml oats and barley w-i 1.1 revolutionize' the farming interest of our .country and bring prosperity to the doors ol our impoverished planters who have been so loug struggling against pover ty in their efforts to produce a remu nerative crop of the great staple, whilt neglecting to grow on the farm tlu necessary food for man and beast. Cotton is the best marketable article produced in the world aud its place a.< .n money crop can never be taken by any other crop, but to make its pro duction profitable the {planter must raise provisions for his own consump tion and the soil should furnish ample food for his plow horses and milk cat lie. We are so impressed by the truth ol this assertion that we believe that no </oo<l farmer iviil buy corn, wheal, oats tjr barley, as our observation was fully proven that heretofore 110 successful planter has neglected to produce these .articles in sufficient quantities for bis own consumption. If sowu any time before the tenth of October red oats may be regarded as a sure crop and, to the* extent of tiie demands of the farm, its production will be by far the most;remuneritive crop that it is pos tJble to gather from the same ground. Barley is not to be neglected by any farmer who aims at success in the cul tivation of the Mill.. A few bushel; sowu on good land will furnish green feed ... for all the stock on tin plautation during a greater |part o! the winter and spring months, aftei which a large yield in grain may bt realized in the harvest season.

Free Lectures Dr. Barker delivered free lectures in the Court House on Monday and Tuesday evenings on the subject o< phrenology, which highly interested all those present. The Lectures will be continued for ten nights, free ol charge, all may come. The Doctor was here some eighteen years ago and then delivered lectures and sold charts to those desiring them. The Doctor has recently been spending sometime in Spartanburg, Greenville and An derson, where we learn he did a line business and was well spoken of by the newspapers. The Junior has vis ited his room at Wicr's Hotel and ob tained a chart. Among other things he said that he ought to get married. This is leap year?won't the ladies take the hint? Porsnnnls.

The concert of the Silver Cornet Band, on Friday.night was one of its best exhibition* and attracted perhaps the largest crowd of the season. The refreshments were furnished by the Indies of the Methodist church, and the tables were well patronized. The musical entertainment pt-esented an agreeable variety; and skilfully execu ted piano solos and accompaniments together with charming songs from la die* and geutlemcn, lent substantial aid to the sweet music of the Band. Cakes, ice-cream, and other delicacies with cooling drinks, added their charms and made the evening a very pleasant one. The receipts amounted including doors and table to $100. Wr learn that Mrs Gilmer's milk cow broke into a patch of sugar cane (ln Friday last, and died in half an j,our after eating of the green stalks.

The Junior last year sowed by oxy 25U bushels oats, harvested 1,048 isbels ; sowed IS bushels barley, har ;sted 19.5 bushels; sowed 15 bushels heat, harvested 6') bushels. This as raised on the valuable lands in the lat woods. Cattle running on the nd did much to reduce the crop. Cows kept in a dirty stable cannot f expected to give pure clean milk, lie cow that breathes impure air must ipatt that impurity to the milk, lie milk from a cow so confined, ithout the greatest care, is not at all 'si ruble.

I have found everywhere goo< stands of corn and cotton, and almos in every instance they have been wel worked up to this time, yet the we weather has somewhat retarded th farming interest and General Greei is now brinirinc uu full forces whicl will cause adesnefato struggle for th victory. In Abbeville County i seems that the farmers took the ail vice of the Press and Bonner last Fa) and sowed down a iarge area in smal grain which I think a very pruden action on their part, ,and tho onl; means of redeeming a lost and ruinc< country. Red oats in Abbeville seen to be a specialty and tflu crops ar line. While Pickens and Audersoi are leading in corn and wheat, Abbe ville consoles herself by having horse food for one year. While I have felt the deepest inter est in the good people of Abbeville, . find situated as I am in Pickens that have many warm friends who ar ever ready to lend a helping had t those who are disposad to do right. The Press and Jianner is looked up on in this section as on*} of the bes papers in the State, and all wonde that it can be published for so small i sum.

Custer and his command by the In dians, we learn that the Government.! will cull upon a number of the colored : military companies in the South toi volunteer for the purpose of prosocu-j ting the war against the hostile sava ires. The Government believes 'troops j who have had experience in tiie drill and manual of arms aie much better than raw recruits, Tin's will give our colored companies an opportunity to distinguish themselves and perhaps get scalped. Although the disadvan tages the Indians will labor under in this respect is very great, because af ter tiie colored trooper is shot down and while he is having the bloody knife run around his cranium cutting loose the top knot, the Indian will have to take it in his teeth in order to get it-started, during which time a more fortunate comrade will have an opportunity of killing the Indian. .This fact alone may have induced the Government to call for colored troops. We learn that the Douglass Infantry, of this city, will probably be among the companies called for, in which case the boys will no doubt respond promptly.?Constitutionalist.
