The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, July 26, 1876. Preparing to Die. Father A. M. Folclii, of the Roman Catholic faith, visited Jerry Coleman in his cell yesterday morning at six o'clock, ancl in the presence ot Messrs. E. Roche, Thos. Enright, Johu R. En right, J. C. Wosmansky, C. W. Gufflu, L. L. GufFin, and the father of the prisoner, administered to him who is appointed unto ueiuu, me Holy Sacrament of Baptism accord ing to the Roman faith, Mr. E. Roche acting as sponsor. The Catholics, as we understand, do not regard any "given name" except that given in baptism. Jerry asked the Priest to suggest a name, who proposed for the penitent the name of "Joseph," and THE HOLY WATER was poured from a vial on Jerry's head by the officer of the Church aud he was baptised as "Joseph," and now has hope of being numbered with the Saints whenever he shall be called upun to enter the life to come. Duriog the baptismal ceremony Jerry kneeled and repeated the Lord's Prayer, tba Apostle's Creed, and the Act of Contrition, After the baptism HE WAS INVESTED WITH THE WHITE GARMENT, emblematical of purity, and the light ed taper jvas presented to him which lie hel<?n his right hantk, while the Priest pronounced his blessing on the pew convert. Father Folehi left yesterday morn ing on the care, hut will return this Afternoon to render FURTHER SPIRITUAL COMFORT to Jerry, and it is supposed that the . ceremony of the Anointing will be performed between now and Friday. The Reverend Father will be with Jerry on Friday, and accompany him to the scaffold. Yesterday afternoon the Junior vis lieu jvi'iy auu iuuiiu mui oiuiu^ mv hind TW'O SETS OF IRON* BARS, jn a dimly lighted compartment, with ,a catechism iu ills hand. He was very nervous and but little disposed to talk. ^Standing in the presence of him who it was reasonable to suppose would so soon appear at the great Judgment bar, feelings intermingled with sor row and sadness involuntarily came .over us. While we are not a believer iu the Catholic religion, which he had embraced, we could not but hope that his spiritual advisers might enable him to 2nd favor in the sight of Him who cleanseth us of all our sins; for "though they be like scarlet, they snail oe wime as snow, juiu uiwu^u they be red like crimson they shall be as wool." There Is little prospect of averting the impending doom, yet he would readily catch at any hope of executive clemency. When we asked "if we could do anything for him," he re plied : "nothing, unless YOU can GET 3IE J A PARDON." A paperasking executive clemency Is being circulated for signatures, but! .the better informed seem to think it j useless. Oats-?\Vhnt to do With Them. Many of our planters are unnecessa rily anxious about their oat crops, And 9eem to be in doubt whether to j?ell now or to hold. At Ninety-Six we learn that the merchants are allow ing their debtors credit for them at the rate of sixty cents a bushel, but the cash price ottered for them is far below these figures. We learn that forty ceuts is ottered in trade for them at llodges. At Abbeville some have ? i k ..i. c?: ?>. ? cnangeu nanus hi uyura iw uigu us, fifty-live cents, but forty-five cents jnay be set down as the cash price here. We learn that a gentleman here has bought a thousand bushels in Newberry at fifty cents cash, to which may be added the freight from that i>oint to this place. As these oats are bought on speculation it is fair to pre sume that the speculators are counting strong on a rise in the price. Wheth er the price will go up or come down . depends, we thiuk, upon ourj own supply and demand. If we have to ship oats to the cities the price will probably remain not higher than at present, but if the demand in our own <x)unty is sufficient to consume the stock on hand the price will probably reach a much higher figure than they are at nresent commanding. Our own opinion is that seventy-live cents or more eau be realized for every bushel in the County, provided our planters will hold until the planting season, which will soon be here. From pres ent indications the demand will be much greater than ever before, and many planters are already making ar rangements for seed. The red oats have been been planted with such universal satisfaction that many plant ers who have heretofore neglected this crop will do so no more, but will turn their attention to this most important crop. We say important because of the cheapness of its production; its certainty as a crop; and the vast amount which the crop saves the; planter In the feed of his stock. We would suggest that our planters hold their grain for sixty cents at least, as the oats are bound to be worth that amount as long as corn is worth a dollar. Plan ten; whose mer chants will take them at sixty cents might do well to pay their accounts in this way. With oats as low even as forty cents, there is more clear money in them than there is in cotton at ten cents. Don't be In a hurry to get shut of your oats. They will keep, and rviatr noA/1 nnvf tin ?*?r*rr i f j vu iiiaj iigcu vutiu j m you didu'tsave j'our straw. ? The Book of Common Prayer. Rev. Mr. Kershaw has, for the last i three or four Sunday afternoons, been giving a series of lectures ou the book of Common Prayer as used by the Episcopal church in this country and iu the Church of Englaud, and on Sunday was answering various objec tions that have been made to that form of worship, as well as explaining cer tain ceremonies which that church is accustomed to observe. At the eon elusion of the lecture Mr. Kershaw pointed out that the "principal objec tions which were made against vim church and her services, arose from ignorance pf them or misrepresenta tion," and he felt satisfied that as they became better known and were more carefully examined, these objections would disappear and the service be more highly appreciated ; that he de sired to make the church and her ex cellencies understood, without detrac ting from those of other churches; to speak a word for his own communion without assailing other bodies of Christians. He is evidently not an advocate of what has been called the "destructive criticism." Eighteen Dollars for One Drink nf Water. During a recent trip to Hamburg, Mr. Hiily Devlin-, of our County, drank out of the Spring at Hamburg, when a posse of negroes arrested him because ne did not dip the water up with a cup of some kind. They in formed him that the penalty was $5 and the cost of arrest was $1. Air. Devlin protested against the exaction, but was told that he would be taken before the uegro Mayor if he did not ?ettle at once. Mr. Ed. Watson, his companion, then came forward to use his efforts to get Devlin released when lut also was arrested. The wagon dri ver, a colored man, about this time game up and be attempted to get his employer released, saying that he '*had drank out of that Spring many a time." They at onee arrested him, when all were marched oft' to the Mayor's office and required to pay $6 i eacn, or $18 beforej they could be re leased. We had the pleasure of a call on J'esterdav from Mr. David A. Ward aw, of Atempbis, Tennessee. He has been for tbe past five years with one of the largest business houses in the city. He says his widow is married, and .there is now no immediale prospect of a matrimonial alliance. Fijjht Between a White man anil a Negro?Call out the Troops. We learn that an altercation tool; place at John M. Mackay's farm on Long Cane eight miles from Donalds ville on Tuesday morning between John Wilson, a white man, and Sam uel Williams, colored. The negro called Wilson a liar when he struck him. The negro returned the blow with a piece of fence-rail, getting the best of the fight at that time, and the negro left for the depot. Wilson borrowed a phot gun and fol lowed Williams to Donaldsville and shot him in the left leg just above the knee inflicting a severe wound. Will iams was brought to his home in Bel t/-?n r\n Hio train Hint nftprnnnll. The shooting took place about lialf-past twelve, and up to the time the train left Wilson had not been arrested. I The diflicultv occurred where the thresher had beeu running. The white man left, aud on Thurs day about twenty negroes, armed with a warrant, went to arrest hini, but he could not be found. Geucra! Butler's Letter. I Read the very able letter of General ! Butler on the "Hamburg Horror," ' which may be found elsewhere. The ; General's ability is only equalled by ! his fearlessness in fighting in a just icause. None who read it will fail to see that much injustice has been done to the whites in the reports of this af ; fair. Wliat our newspapers aud their reporters expect to gain by exagger ating this affair is more than we can imagine. General Butler and the ! white people were either in the wrong J or they were not to blame, and we I should much prefer to know that they | were at least not more to blame than i the insolent negroes who brought this trouble on themselves. Our newspa per scribblers who have denounced the affair in unmeasured terras need j expect to gain nothing from the other jside for the injustice done to our peo ! pie. Threatening.?'The following no I tice which was posted in Greenwood : a few nights since, shows a feeling of jfiendishness on the part of certain evil-disposed colored persons, which I calls for the utmost vigilance on the ; part of the citizens of the community. A meeting of both whites and blacks has been held, at which due watchful ness was recommended: ' Notice. Addressed to the white Bedizens of Greenwood. We do not purpose to light | for the wickedness did us by you, and for | what you are yet doing to us. Bui, sirs, we i will turn into ashes the polish buildings of your town. What we say to one we say to I all, with the exclusion of one, Mr. Christ Waller, for he has done us no harm. Unless you cease to narm us we will do et unless the living God for bid us." ; Birle Meeting.?Our readers will ' not forget that the Anniversary meet ing of the Abbeville Bible Society will : be held this morning in the Episcopal | church at 11 o'clock, and we trust to see I large attendance. ' The sermon will be [ preached by Hie Rev. Ferdinand Ja jcobs, D. D., of Cokesbury, and the ad i dress will be delivered by Mr. L. W. I r\f A KKoirillo nnH wa ihhv fln-! ticipate efforts worthy of the occasion, and which shall prove pleasing and I instructive. Our Bible Society is a time-honored institution and needs no ; word of commendation to the chris tians of all denomination. Very Near a Row.?Some ne groes on Thursday last offered abuse' and insult to a drunken white man,| when a white man remonstrated and drew the abuse of the negroes. Blows were passed, and it was only by the merest chance that a general fight did not ensue. Forbearance has ceased to be a virtue here, and the whites are apt to teach insolent people that we have some rights which should be re spected. The dirty white men who i-pnoli flip TippTops to insult us. as well as the negroes themselves, should cease to irritate us and forbear to ex cite bad blood. We had the pleasure of meeting last week on the cars, Mr. Thos. F. Greneker, of that excellent paper the Newberry Herald. We were sorry to learn that he had for a month been suffering with an affection of the eyes from which he has been unable to read or write for a month. We know how to sympathise with him as we once had an affection of the heart, from which we couldn't sleep for a longtime. Mr. JamesMcCravy came in as we finished the above. He says Greneker is a gentleman, if he is an editor. Phrenology.?Dr. W. H. Barker, the Phrenologist, has been delivering lectures during the past week to crowded audiene&s in the Court House. The lectures have been interesting and instructive, and exhibited the fruits of enlarged observation and research. In connection with each lecture some one or more of the audience was ex amined, and furnished an amusing feature of the entertainment. The Doctor's lectures were invaluable. We only regret that he didn't stay longer, as he thoroughly understands his profession. TRoors.?We would like to know the necessity for troops in this State. Is this thing of intimidating white men at the elections never to be stop f?ed ? In this State the negro party lave a majority of thirty thousand and yet they cry for troops and thus acknowledge their inability to run the government. The fact of their calling for trooops to control' the elections is evidence of their own consciousness of I weakness. Knock Him Down.?The Bcston\ Evening Traveler speaking of that] most estimable gentle, Mr. A. A. Gil bert, of the Sumter Watchman, calls I him Major. If the editor of the| Watchman don't knock the'editor of the Traveler down the next time he sees him, we shall think there is a hole where the bump of destructive ncss is generally located. The negroes of this County have got some senfe, # they do lack educa tiorf. They can tell when a fellow herds with them just before the elec tion for the nurDose of getting office. They generally'tind it out by the way j they abuse decent white people. A good negro knows that he is better' than a trifling white man. Jim Robertson, colored, has quite a reputation as a good mechanic and as a good gardener, but he excels as a good lecturer on the duties of woman ! to the sterner sex. His lecture to aj pugilistic sister a few days ago was| amusing if not instructive. A. J. ITunteb, a colored man of J the Temple of Health neighborhood, i called at our office last week. .He| knows how to put a little of the ready J money where it will do the mostgood. He is a farmer and says that he won't have to buy corn next year. The young lady who thought we were personal in reference to the leas ing of the front gate, is informed that I f --i "--'i 1- r we eopieu mat purugrupu num ?uum er paper, which paper we presume had not the slightest intention of wound ing auybody's feelings. Appreciated.?A neighbor wri ting to us says: "The Press and Ban ner is the best weekly exchange that comes to my office." Physician, Heal Thyself.?Dr. Marshall, who has been sick for the past two or three weeks, is up again and on the streets. The number of men who are look ing for oats is as large as the army of candidates?and the men seeking oat seed will be the richest. To young men seeking employment ?join the Abbeville Kifle club and you can get a job to keep a musket bright. The poetry about "Bessie and I" has been received, but owing to its great length we are unable to publish it. * When a dirty fellow joins the negro party and then fails to get office, isn't aea pitiable creature ? Mr. George White is the happy man this time. It's a girl. Every man in Abbeville County should have a barley field. i Miss Lizzie Harris, daughter of Capt. W. S. Harris, took sick on Fri day last, and died 011 the Monday fol lowing. A flower has been plucked from a sunny home; a breach has been made in a happy circle; a jewel has been stolen from the treasury of love; the spirit of one as pure as the roses which clasped her forehead has gone to the (jod who gave it. Very III.?We regret to learn that Due West's greatest benefactor, the Rev. Dr. W. R. Hemphill, is now ly ing at the point of death, suffering with gravel. Dr. Templeton, of this place, Dr. J. C. Maxwell, of Green wood, besides the physicians of Due West are in attendance. We wish for Mr. Hemphill a speedy recovery. We have just had an interview with < Mr. James McCravy who says he is 1 now a full fledged Republican. He, like all other white Republicans, is a . I candidate for a County office, though j j j iie has not fully decided which one it ; j is, but from the present outlook he is - going to run for Clerk of the Court. | Ouk friend, Mr. F. J. JKoIcomb, 1 has reached safely his home in J Waynesboro, Ga., and reports fine ' rains, and good crops and the prospect of a heavy Fall trade. He reports all < quiet in Hamburg; on the way he saw < two car loads of watermelons, which | sold at ten cents u melon. Mr. R. Edward Belcher has with- i drawn from the partnership of Belch- < er and Earle in the publication of the < Anderson Journal, Mr. Earle becom ing sole editor and proprietor. The Journal is an excellent paper and we j are always glad to welcome it into our offi CO. > It is reported here that the Govern or is going to order the colored militia company from Abbeville to Hamburg. This is very reckless in the Governor if he lias any such intention, for some of the boys might get shot down in Edgefield. Labor Reform.?A Labor Reform Association was organized at Hodges Ion Saturday last and after the reading of a letter from Rev. A. W. Moore, the founder of the order, a constitution was addopted. We will publish a full report in our next issue. We liotice on our streets Mr. Charles C. Wardlaw, who is now on a visit to relations here. Charlie's bu siness qualities may be judged of from the factof bis holding his situation in that reliable firm of Walton & Clark, of Augusta, for the last six years. Sudden Death,?After recovering from a spell of fever, Mrs. Wm. Mann lmii nn jihsoesson the neck, which so affected an aitery that it bursted, on J Thursday last, when she died in a few minutes from the loss of blood. ( The Young Men's Christian Asso- ( ciation will meet in the Methodist church next Sunday afternoon at six t o'clock. The public are cordially in- j vited. Turn out and encourage the young men by your presence. An enthusiastic meeting of the { Democrats of Hodges and vicinity was held on Saturday and speeches were made by Col. D. W. Aiken, Mr. F. A. ? Connor and others. A straight-out ' ticket was recommended. Mr. W. Rosenberg has returned 1 from his Northern tour. He saw won- 1 ders at the Centennial and felt highly pleased with the exhibition. He | t.hinUs all who can do so. should go to the world's wonder. A heavy thunderbolt struck the bouse of our townsman, Mr. J. D. Chalmers, on Friday last, without j damage. There was a strong smell of i sulphuric acid in the atmosphere after the occurrence. After five weeks of the hottest I weather, the temperature changed on I Monday evening, and yesterday fires were necessary in our office. To pre ! vent sickness the utmost prudence is necessary. 1 Struck by Lightning.?The Bap tist church at Ninety-Six was struck by lightning on Friday last, and the steeple, roof, doors and windows were damaged to the amount of about $100. Almost a complete outfit fora coun try printing office may be purchased from the Prcm aud Banner office. ? Will sell a part or the whole at very t low figures on accommodating terms. > THEeditorof the Sumter Watchman was robbed of forty dollars in cash at 1 the Charleston Centennial. What we l want to know is, where did that prin- e " mil OQ fnrfu Hollars? I'Cl ^U I AO 1X1 14 1*14 IfrO iv& vj ? Our Townsman, Win. II. Parker, Esq., we regret has been confined to his house and bed with an attack of fever, but is now convalescent. We wish iiim a speedy recovery. The Quarterly Meeting in the Meth odist church at this place closed on Sunday evening, Presiding Elder Browne preaching an impressive ser mon to a large audience. Dr. Pakker says there is now but little sickness in this community, and that he is glad of it. Putting charges on his books, he says, don't make him xili mi- foUnn hiu horsf*. { Very excellent meetings were kept up during the past week at the [Baptist church, and learned and im Eressive discourses were delivered by lev. Mr. Broadus. | The cleanliness of your premises should Ire carefully attended to. Af ter this warm weather we may expect sickness, if matters of this kind are not attended to. / No good housewife should neglect to j see that turnips are planted in abund j ance. Better have two acres too many than not to have enough. Get the seed early. Declined.?Generals Kershaw and McGowan both decline to allow their names to be used in connection with the Democjatic nomination for Gov ernor. Mr. John McGill returned to An derson on last Tuesday evening from Jacksonville, Fla.. where he had been engaged iu journalism for some time past. The avenues leading to an early grave have often been opened by a cough or cold. Thousauds have been cured and saved by Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. Soiree.?We learn that Miss Rhett will give a soiree at the Female Acad emy on to morrow evening to which the friendsof her daucing class are iu vited. Attention is directed to the law I authorizing the taking up of stray an imals. The owner of the freehold be ing the only person authorized to do so. The ladies of Abbeville propose soon to present a banner to the Abbe ville Kitle Club. The fund is raised and the flag will soon bo forthcoming. The Quarterly Meeting of the Methodist church began here on Sat urday last, the Rev.

( As our people are so thoroughly ; convinced as to the advantages of the oat crop it will be useless to say any thing more about it. Our friends should be careful to re move all rotting cabbage from the gar- i den. They are a most prolific source , of typhoid fever. Maj. ?. F. Whitner. of Ander son, has beeD in town several days during the past week, the guest of Gen. McGowan. Liddell Grange.?The Council meeting of the various County gran ges will take place at Liddell Grange, , this morning, Mr. Amos Morse, liaving spent a month with relatives in Alabama, is now back at his post with Messrs. White Bros. The Labor Reform Constitution of the Cokesbury Association received too late for this issue. Attention next week. Cai>t. R. F. McCaslan, of Charles ton, was in town on Monday night, a1 large as life. Ho says the people eve ry where are goiug to sow oats. The Governor, it if thought, will not pardon or commute Jerry Cole man's sentence. His soul is immor tal. He needs spiritual aid. If not too late by all means plant a large Irish potato patch. The Fall Irish potatoes will keep all winter il taken care of. A one-eyed mouse colored mare mule was arrested in Abbeville on yesterday and put iu the Marshall House stables. Came to the Hanging. ? Cloe Miller, an old colored woman, arrived on Sunday to see Jerry Coleman go off on Friday. There are hundreds of people look ing for seed oats. Double the quanti ty sowed last year will be sowed this year. Dr. W. A. Limdecker, of Ninety Six, was in town yesterday. He says oats are held at sixty cents at Ninety Six. Every good farmer in Abbeville County is making arrangements to sow oats as soou as the crops are "laid oy." It takes one hundred dollars a week io pay Dr. Townsend's freight. He is Joing a very large business?all for jash. The Junior is not paying either ten jents or twenty cents a bushel to have liis grain hauled from the plantation. n.io ftl.l frinrwi MV T P WillorH we regret to say has been quite sick at Wier's Hotel for the piist three weeks.

Editor Press and Banner: In his article on Bobert B.

The "Reminiscences" of an Ex-Ab bevillian are very interesting to me, as tbey doubtless are to many others of your readers, and if not impertinent, I would fain suggest, that perhaps his recollection of some of the incidents attending the great meteoricjshower of some where up in the "thirties," might afford an interesting subject for his graphic pen.

Editor. Ninety-Sixes. "We lake from the Herald the fol lowing: The Democracy of South Carolina is divided thus: Fire-eaters, Conserva tives and Co-operationists.

We have mantained and ever intend to hold up the white man above the dusky African, and if "goodness" will let ns keep our senses, hope to wield the columns of tbe Herald till the white man rides into office by the white man's vote. "We are a white man inside and out. The inimical reader will put us up in the "Fire-eat null ii nnrf TClninp-like. nroelaim I """1 1 J the "bloody sbirt" against us; but we are what we are. Oppression, insult and injury have entirely estranged our minds and hearts from negro affilia. tion or xadical conservatism. We have received no unkindness personal' ly* at our enemies' hands, but our bleeding country has been shamefutly humiliated, which arouses all the venom in our souls against them. There will be a mass meeting of the Sabbath schools of Ninety-Six at the Baptist church on the afternoon of the flth Sunday in July. Addresses will be delivered to the children. With feelings of profound regret we are caUed upon to record the loss of one of our most respected and worthy citizens in the death of Mr. H. H. Martin. On Monday last the flouring mill of Mr. J. M. Mathews was completed and put in operation. At the very first trial the machinery moved with out a iar, and the flour was as gooa as any that can be produced anywhere iu the world. W. P. Anderson,' Esq., had his pockets picked while on visit to Co lumbia. He thinks .the detectives will work up the case if the "do-gaun ed" newspapers don't blow so much about it. Love and Strychnine.?Bob Ri ser, a white.man who lives near Salu da bridge, being stricken with the charms of an Ethiopian damsel. Be ing denied he took strychnine but he didn't die worth a cent, as we had hoped to record, orhe was not dead at last accounts. If he dies, 'twill be an other sacrifice to the little love god, Cupid. fto Troops. -A Washington dis patch of the 19th inst., says: "Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, arrived here this morning ? - i A- ?

The I views of these officials is that South Carolina should execute her own laws, and bring the parties implicated in in citing the recent riot and murders to ; trial and punishment. Prompt action by the State authorities Is regarded by them as absolutely necessary." Four Corn Thieves Killed.? The Horry NewB says: On last Thursday morning four corn thieves, while depredating in a patch of "roast ing ear corn " near the place were shot and killed dead, s.nd their bodies left ' on the ground as a warning to others. . The Coroner has not yet been notifi ' ed of the killing, that we hear of, and so far the aflkir has created no un 1 po 11 fnr frnnnfl UHU2U CAt'llCUicuv* vim? What it Costs.?The railroad has very properly and promptly reduced the wages of those bauds iu its em ployment at tbis place who voted an additional tax of 1} mills on It, at the township meeting on the 24th of June. If the negroes will persist iu voting a tax on our property holders, simply because they have the power under a corrupt legislature, they must suffer the consequences. Our people have rights which they can ana will assert. ?Marion Star. Atlanta, Georgia is afflicted with grass hoppers. They are devastating crops with a fearful rapidity and the community is alarmed.

Let us as a party, concentrate our voting strength upon men, especially the law-makers, that are above medi ocrity, noted for weight of intellect, soundness of judgment, can reason and discuss subjects fluently, with force and eloquence; in short, know how to enact laws for the good of the country.

Let us Publish a History of Abbe ville County. An esteemed citizen has promised to give us some historical facts in ref erence to the early settlement of the Savannah side of the County, which will no doubt be read with great inter est. As there has never been any his tory of Abbeville County published we think the centennial year a good time to put all historical matters on record, and any one in possession of matters of interest will confer a favor on the County by banding them to the Press and Banner for publication. If the old people ?of each portion of the county would contribute somethiug we would be enabled to publish an in teresting liistQry of our county, and possibly at a future day we may pub lish it in book form, that the history of our county and the personal remin iscences of our old people might never be lost. Facts and circumstances re lating to the lives of our old and hon ored citizens would be treasured by the present and future generations. The Reminiscences of Abbeville by a former resident are, as far as we know, remarkably correct and are read with much interest. Let every one contribute someUteg by putting on-record the facts thai may be known to each. tfr I The News and Courier for the Campaign.
