1 g?q?1* * III The Press and Banner. Wednesday, March 21, 1877. ttw 11 . 1 . ' m A Deatk of an Excellent Young Man I?e*3 than a year ago our friend Col. F. A. Conner, of Cokewbury was called to "mourn the loss of a devoted wife whom he bad idolized from early manhood, and now the hand or providence again rests heavily upon him, in the removal by death, on Saturday evening, of his eldest son JLaudon F. Conner. After an absence of several yeare in the West, he returned to the old homestead a few months ago, only to die of consumption on his native heath. The deceased was thirty-two years old, and was of that class of young j men whose education was very much j Interrupted by the war. At the age of seventeen he left the Cokesbury School, then taught by ltobt. \\. Boyd, Esq., and entered the army, joining the Holcomb Legion, commanded by Col. P. F. Stephens. He was wounded in the thigh at the sec-' ond battle of Manassas, and was unable to walk for mouths, and in consequence, he was discharged from tne army, when he entered the Arsenal Academy at Columbia under Col. Thomas. Here he had a bombproof position, but as soon as he was ?lil? to ri<1? horse haek. lie left the Academy, aud joined the cavalry, under the command of Ueneral Butler, j aud remained in the field until the: close of the war, distinguishing himself in the hardships of the cam pas well as on the field of battle. He was of ai genial nature?high toued, brave, hopeful and generous, and mapy of his old comrades will drop a tear at| the iutelligence of his untimely end. j His frank and friendly manner, his j fine addressand genial presence,combined to give him that personal magnetism which drew aroaud him troops! of friends and hosts of admirers. >'Each day some pearl drops from I the jeweled shread of friendship ; j Home lyre to which we have been wont to listen, has been hushed forever. But wise is he who mourns not the peal aud music lost, for life with him shall pass away gently as an eastern shadow." i Sudden Death. Mrs. Dr. Milwee, an estimable lady of Greenwood, died suddenly last Thursday. She had been in delicate health for some time, but was decidedly better at tea time. Some time; iu the night, she was taken ill, and) called her huxband. In less than twenty minutes she was a corpse. This sad event has casta gloom over| the village in winch she lived. - ' r\?e sometimes find a paragraph in :*? exchange which suits us, perhap hefter than one we could write, and we quietly take possession of it, with-) out saying where we got it. The following from the Scwbcrry llcrald I states our caw exactly, and we copy without giving credit: "JUST a Wokp.?Xo doubt, wo appear sometimes' to put our nose into'other people's businoss, and to manifest an uu-due curiositv about matters not pertaining to us. Individually we have uo such curiosity ; but, professionally, we have. We desire to know what is going on in the town and county, so as to interest our reader*. According to our opinion, a' j . , <x>unty paper ough?to give a large portion of its attention and spaco to local affairs. To got this local new* we have to "nose around" a little occasionally; sometimes we catch the scent, and then liave to trail it up to the source, wo as to get it reliable. Escape and Rkcapture.?Harry Hampton, colored, wiio escaped from Abbeville jail the -second time on Wednesday morning of last week, after beingsent back here by Captain ftadclitte, was recaptured below Columbia a few days ago and placed in Richland jail, troin whence lie has t>een brought to Abbeville by Captain RadclifTe. This criminal has made liis escape from the jail at Danville once, at Richmond twice, at Lynch. fourg once, at Charlotte twice, aiid at Abbeville twice: but this time he.will^ probably be made to stay his time out, us Sheriff Jones will chain luiu in one of the best cells at the jail. JCDGE MlLF0RDi8 now the happiest man on the continent. He and x Mnt Hogan were married on Thursday by Rev." R. N. Pratt. The bride and groom attended the Baptist church on Sunday morning aou, any time not taken up with thoughts of each other, listened to the ministrations of the gospel, according to that faith, as expounded by Mr. Pratt. May they live long and prosper. Thkrk Ik now a great cry for advances on lieus on the crop*. Tins county is truly in a lamentable condition wheu ' intelligent farmers will give from twenty-five to fifty percent, for credit, for from two to six months. If we had to pay such prices for what we u*e, the Press and Banner would Hoon be numbered with the things that were. Farming must be quite profitable to pay such interest. Thkrr is a denier In town who has on hand a large lot of tobacco, and his faith in Hampton's cause is so strong that lie is willing to sell his tobacco to any one who will deposit the money in the bank end make it payable to him after Hampton's government is recognized at Washington.?.<4ndmon Journal This is a rare chance to get a large lot of tobacco. The inducement is great. Mr. Joseph Wardlaw our efficient telegraph operator, has a pet noon which has given him much trouble lately. One night last week Jo locked him up in the office of the depot, where he expected the coon to remain uutil he should release him. Jo surprised to find his pet gone next morning. He forgot to put a board on top of the chimney. Mrs. Clark, the mother of Mr. j. L. Clark, silver smith at this place, died in Fort Pickcns, last Saturday at an advanced age, and was buried at Long Cane ceraetary on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Pratt preached the funeral sermon. Mrs. Clark was a good old lady possessing many excellent traits of character, and is mourned by quite a number of relatives. The clairvoyant has been consulted as to the parties who set some of our buildings on fire. Startling revelations have been made. We will soon know it all, and if the house-burners don't make their escape, Solicitor Cothrau will get a huge job, and the number of peultentlary birds will be considerably kugmcnted. A Lady desires us to tell her how to fill her larder at this season, when there is nothing in the market for man or beast to eat. If she had a?ked us where to find nothing, we couldn't have done better than to quote the Irishman's remark when he said, "and faith, if its nothing you want, look in the jug where the whiskey was." Mr. R. E. Campbell, a graduate of Newberry college, delivered an excellent Lecture in the Court House on Th.iiKi^dir nlirht on tlip snhip(>t nf "Theoretical Ethics, or the Philosophy of the complete moral Manhood." He was a guent of the Rev. J. L Martin during his stay in Abbeville. Miss Rolaixe is now boarding at Mr. Theophelas Baker's at Lowndesville and teaching the school lately taught by Miss Scofield. She has been in Abbeville several days, until last Friday, on account of the illness and death of Mr. nod Mrs. Cannon's infant. The exercises of her school were resumed on Mondov. The editor ef the True Southron, at Sumter, Ik a sociable neighbor who reads the country papers. The Union Times says he has seen "tobacco passed up, to prisoners in jail, on a string." That's nothing. Somet>ody passed up an auger in the same way, to some prisoners in our jail last week. Result?the Sheriff had three boarders less at breakfast next morning. The Prets and Banner office has now one of the best appointed job j printing offices in the interior of the j State, and can turnout as neat work as can be executed in the State.

' We are disposed to sympathise with ! those of that class of'men who were j j born tired, and are uot sharp enough to get into a job. J I We give some "Beautiful Thoughts" in another column, and doubt not that t (these articles will l>e appreciated. It i is seldom that one finds a more beautiful word picture than that of "Sunday in the Valley." Mr. Tiros.

The following letter we find in the ATa'ional Itepiiblicun of the 12th. It explains tself: Washington, D. C., March 30, 1877: To the Editor of the National Rcjiublican: Sir?My attention has been directed to irticles in the press placing me in the position whereby it may be inferred that tsanctiou criticisms made upon prominent Republicans at home. I desiro to ?tate that my recent call upon the Presilent, in company with other South Caro,ina gentlemen, had no reference to the private character or public acts of any kepublican in that State, but was impelfh1 Dy the hope that something could be lone to settle the vexed question of our iual governments; nor did I have a thought of acting in tho premises until a majority of the Circuit judges had deci;lecl in favor of General Hampton's claim uid all of the Supreme Judges had h?d me to infer that they would decide l)y having frequently declared that he was elected Governor ; indeed, there was no apparent remedy for alleged frauds that were charged In tho election, as it had passod beyond the power of the politicians, and'had become purely a judicial question. I was satisfied that the prolongation of the contest against the inevitable result - - - - " *? Al would be to bring nnanciai rum upuiuue whole SUite, and as a Republican, 110 man in South Carolina was more anxious for ;he success of Republican principles than myself, and yet I am not willing to sacrifice every tiling in an experiment that mat result disastrously. If tho past liaH met with reverses there, it would tiardly bo justifiable, I apprehend, to sacrifice tho material Interests of aw mmonivealth in the vain effort to retrieve what was lost in a campaign that cannot be recalled. The Chief J ustice of the State laving recently deceasod, it may be regarded doubtful as to what his decision ivould have been, but by every fair deduc;ion we have the right to assume that ivhen he made his requisition upon General L'auipton for his salary, which heac5epted on tho order of his Treasurer, ioiintersiumed bv Wade Hampton as Gov jrnor, he intended to recognize him as Governor of the State. I may add that Associate Justices Wil.ard and Wright also drew their salaries Lii like manner. It is only too obvfous .hat the decline of the Republican party n the Southern States Binoe 1870 has re Holered its extinction almost certian under existing organizations, and whatever success has been attained in the past was, unfortunately, achieved by many sacrifices ? those who were forcea into the leader?hip. I fully appreciate the difficulties snoountered in tlie vexed question of our State. which presents itself on the hresnold of what bids fair to bo a wise md most beneficent administration of >ur national government. Very respectfully, <ko., ROBERT K..SCOTT. m - ... Taking Him at His Word.?New Oreaus, March 12.?The Nicbolls Legisla,ure to-day adopted the following: Whereas, The Inaugural address the of iresent Executive of the nation indicates i fixed determination to restore harmony o the people of the South by establishng a policy of pacification for one of coercion, and by recognizing the right of laid people of the South to local self-govjrnrnent free from Federal interence; ;herefore, be it HeMolved, That we accept this declara;ion of the national executive of non-inervention in the affairs of a State as a lappy augury for the future, as made in lood faith and the true spirit of the constitution, and that this General Assembly ivill earnestly co-operate with President Haves in every effort to restore confidence md fraternal relations among the whole people of this great country ; and to this ?nd it pledges all the power and influence at its command to secure the great object for which governments were instituted, viz., to guarantee protection to the life, liberty and property of every human being within their jurisdiction. Caught While Fighting the "Tioeh."?Some of Chamberlain's friends who are here pushing his cause with the President got themselves into quite a nreriiraimant after midnierht on Saturday by being among the participants in a faro game at the "Clubj one of tho most notorious of Washington's gaming houses. The police made a well-diroctea descent, and captured among others, what may be called a South Carolina delegation. There were ex-Senator Wm.E. Sawyer, who was the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Richardson, ana < whom Bristow so unceremoniously dismissed ; Judge Carpenter, the "iron man" of South Carolina ; one Congressman and two ex-Congressmnn from the same State. The polico were even harder j than usual on these distinguished cnp-t tives, for they wore kept all night in the! station house?Washington Letter to the j Richmond Dispatch. Hovr exquisitely absurd to tell girls that beauty is of no value?dress of no use ! Beauty is of value. A girl's whole prospects and happiness in life may often depend upon a new gowrPor a becoming bonnet; and, if she has fivo grains of common sense, she will find this out. The great thing is to teach her the just value of dress, and that, for real happiness, thore must bo something better under th o bonnet than a pretty face. But never sacrifice truth.?London Times. Washington. March 14.?Patterson's scheme for giving the plundorers of South Carolina and Louisiana another chance to continue their rule in those States is regarded by sensible men of both Darties jis simDlv absurb.

Sea islands are without cliange and in only moderate request. Futures were fiat almost throughout the week.
