The Press and Banner, Wednesday, Feb. 7,1877. The Hampton Tax. It anybody believes that Abbeville county is not in earnest about paying the Hampton tax let hiiu cast his eyi over the following long list who have paid since our last issue. The high and low, the white and colored* all pay cheerfully. Xo body has been dragooned iuto this business. The Governor's special agent, t'apt. Perrin on Monday last remitted the lasi of-So.OOO collected for State purpose? while he has safely deposited $2,i>00 foi county purposes subject to the draft of the County Commissioners. Up tc last Saturday night fourteen hundred and forty-threeofourcitizens had paid, about one hundred and fifty of whom are colored* All the whites and forty colored, at Due West have paid. At Due West the colored people are ahead of the colored people in any other section of the County. The largest individual tax-payer ol the county is Col. James Edward Calhoun, of the Savannah side. His (en percent, of the State taxes amounted to $113.00, and his one mill of county tax for county purposes was ?50.00. When as cautions men as Col. Calhoun pay, the rest may have no hesitation in"coining forward.

There's nothing that helps a follow so much as an occasional word of on- j courugeineut, no matter what may be his station or calling in life. The king 011 his throne feels prouder when ije litis the commendation of his subjects ; the ambitious wood sawyer is elated when lie receives a kind* word j J from his employer and knows that his| work is satisfactory ; and to carry 0111* {idea out a little further, we might add [that even the unpretending editor ofj la village} newspaper knows how to j appreciate a kindness bestowed by aj friend or patron. While dark and: foreboding clouds gather about him, he rejoices to see an occasional ray of j sunshine, ami renews his daily task! {with brighter spirits, and sometimes he seems to be glad that he lives. Bless such benefactors. lliiv. j i ~ " I * Last Monday was Sale Pay ami j there was a fair attendance of whites j and a large turnout of the colored brethren, fcjoine few sales were made at very low figures as the following figures will testify: 1 SU* acres OI uie reui fSMiiiv in .

Pressly being the purchaser. .Ov Dfntli an Azcd Citizen. j On Saturday last Mr. Arthur Erwin |an old and respectable citizen of this J county, at the age of SI years, died at ' the residence of his son, Mr. Malcomb | Krwin, the owner of the famous Krwin j mills oil Saluda River. Mr. Krwin's j home was about seven miles south ' west of Abbeville, but a few weeks before he died, he went Lo see his son, where he took sick and died. Mr. Krwin was a native of county Antrim, Ireland, anil immigrated to this county in 1848, where lie has lived ever j since. He wis a stone mason, and as good a mechanic as we have ever had. j He was an excellent citizen and was ' noted for his industry and strict integ' rity and conscientiousness in the disi charge of all his duties towards his fellow-man. Many friends regret tne death of so good u man. We are indebted to Walker, Evans 1 <fc Cogswell, Charleston, for a copy of| Miller's Almanac for 1S77. While! | Miller's is the most reliable almanac J published in the State, Walker, Evans it Cogswell are the neatest and most1 j reliable job printers. I Death of Ulne Dick. TIiis old war-horse "whose neck 'was clothed with thunder" durJin.tr the late campaign and who here lupon 11is hack a gallant oliicer through I many of the tedious inarches and I hard-fought hatlles of Virginia, now j lies in state over the hills towards the jj'our I louse, (ien. Metiowan bought j lllne Dick from a brother soldier in | the winter of 1s(who had captured jhim while in Pennsylvania about the time of the battle of (kltyshtirg, the j General paying for his charter 'in Confederate money. This horse j was supposed to be about twenty-three 'or twenty-four years old. lie fell dead in hid stable after commencing to eat i his morning's allowance of corn. ? *<!> - j | New I'nperiu Charlotte. Some enterprising gentlemen pro-] J pose to start a new paper in Charlotte, j They had Ix-ttcr rent a daily for about I three months before investing. If ' money is now put into the most overdone business in this county it will be |a dead lose. We advise capitalists to ! let this investment alone. We'll bet a dozen cigars the Observer don't lend 'out much money after paying oil'the typos. We always feel sorry to see a man waste his money and hence discourage the gentlemen from going into the business. j Mi;. A. "\V. Jones, clerk for CaptJ ( iilliul !il. 0111* nlVieo on Mnii-I day. He wtys the people everwhere are in earnest ab:>ut paying the Hampton tax. Forty colored men, aiul ull the whites, of Due West have paid. Lowndesviilo is right on tlie taxijbusincss and the hanging of tlie murderers. It seems from late developments that the plot to assassinate! and sack t.'.uivgiw "^5 more diaboli-j eal than a.rp?tivm-d trial. The people of Li(\vvmesville will never he satisfied for the sentence* of the murderers of Allen to be commuted. We hope our merchants will, for a' season, cease their insatiate clamor for! advertising space in our precious col-! umns. The overwhelming rush ofj patronage of this kind is what causes so many country newspapers to die a premature death. Our advertising space is limited, but we will try to accommodate all, gentlemen; but come one at a time. We are wearied with the rush, and fain would rest. Come one at a time, and commence coming that way as soon as possible. It does not promote the best of religious feeling for Christians to be compelled to kneel in a pool of tobacco juice, winch nothing in heaven or on earth would willingly have in! their mouths, except a. man. lmag-j ine Paul and the other Apostles rolling j their quids, and squirting their juice on the floor of the sanctuary. We think it desecrating the temple of our j Maker to chew tobacco in church and spit on the fluor. It is certainly impo-1 lite. The use of patent medicines is on: the increase, just as self conceit is on the increase. People think they are as wise as the physciansare, and fully able to prescribe for themselves, then after consulting their almanac thcyj start for the drug store. The result is, j the devil pets his own from one to; tlii?*ly years sooner than lie had any I reasonable expectation. Mr. "NYimjam IIaur, of Mississippi formerly a citizen of this comity, is deach Last winter he went to Virgin-1 iu, where he contracted pneumonia,' from the eflecls of which disease he! never recovered, llis lungs being so much effected that he took consumption, and died of hemorhage, at VicUsburg a few days ago, aged about 55 j years. He leaves a wife aud small j children. I Our farmers should sow plentifully of oats. The corn crop of last year was short, and in consequence, many will be tightly run for corn to make a crop. Jiv sowing oats they will be enabled to feed their mules and horses and get through. ]ie certain to sow oats on at least one-half the ground you have selected for cotton. WilKX we see a littlo ticky paper which is set up inside and outside, in! leaded small pica or long primer, with j about two locals in it, casting insinuations airainst papers using patent outsides, that set up twice as much on! two pages as (lie miserably printed pa- j per sets up on all four, we think lie is! simply a phool that ought to at-! tend to his own business. | Tin: members of Mt.

It would take morej than $14 to get such .stull'as the Doctor! wants published to see the light in j these parts. We advise our readers to; let him and his medicines alone. A Gift.?We learn that Professor) Schmidt who died at Due West sever-j al months ago, left his whole estate, I realizing some $1,500 to the Due West i Female college. We have not learned j how this money is to be used, but we! presume it is to pay debts of the col-! lege, to buy libraries, to improve the structuro, or to educate impecunious; young ladies. Another Lawyer.?C'apt. J. W.| Rook, a promising young lawyer has j rented the ollice recently occupied by \ Messrs. Gary & Graydon and O. T. Calhoun, Esq., and will in the future j practice at the Abbeville liar. We are always glad to welcome so good a j man into our community. In* Salem, Indiana, some mischiev- j ous boys sawed the under side of a | foot-log so as to let some ladies into! the creek as they were going to church j a.Sunday or two ago. The Democrat i thinks tiie perpetrators of this practi-1 cal joke should be punished. The man that would cheat Maj.! Galphin deserves to be shot. The Major is a small man, a chistian man and : a Sunday school superintendent, but' we advise our readers not to ask him about his over coat just now. It's a sore subject. Cai'T. W. R. White says he has no confidence in white labor. He had | a nlantalion rented and thought to j gire employment to about twenty-live j idle men in this community. Not a j man is going. Wi: had the pleasure a few days ago of meeting our old friend ('apt. J. C. Ward law, formerly of Abbeville, but! now of Walhalla. Jle is looking well\ and is ever so proud of his little girl, i Kosuiell T. Logan, Esq., will hereafter conduct the advertising agency business at the oflice of the News coul] Courier.

When the nearest neighbors arrived, the body of Mr. H. was found on the floor of the burning building, but could not be reached on account of the fire. Upon examination it was found that he had been murdered with an axe in tho yard, near the houso, and his body dragged and placed in the house which was fired. Trial Justice John C. "Walker was called, who immediately summoned a jury of iuquest who gave a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Evidence was also elicited which caused suspicion on Cush Harrison and Anderson Davis, colored, who have been arrested and will bo tried to-day, February 5. Cush is a suspicious character, and was one of Cham Demurs JJepucy uimtd ouues marshals at one of the boxes in Edgefield county at the November election. Mr. Holloway was noted for his quiet inoffensive disposition, and the community are horrified at this hellish net of murder and incendiarism. Ninety-Six, February G. The trial of the negroes, Cu?h Harrison and Anderson Davis, began yesterday and is still going on. The evidence is entirely circumstantial, but is intensifying as the trial progresses. A pair of pants and a pair of shoes were found in C'ush's houseon Sunday with blood on them, lie has a wounded foot on which he wears a ehoo made partly of carpeting. The track of this shoe was found near where the murder ivas committed. I have not heard the details of the evidence against Davis, but it is said to be fully as strong as that against Cush Harrison. Tlio trial is conducted by Trial JusLice John C. Walker, with a jury of the neighborhood, a^tlie house of G. \V. Hoiloway, Lsq., brother of the murdered man. HALE. A \r Si>wini!T? nf tlifi \yWU?
