The Press and Banner. " ABBEVILLE, S. C. !? BY HI GH WILSON. Wednesday,[August 15,1877, \ f() ? ^ jot' The New County. I?<a Our esteemed brother of the jYinety- j si ?ix Guardian returns to tho subject of si the new county, and if he will allow the rilj liberty, we must say that his tone andjci temper are much improved?indeed entirely unobjectionable. It is much bet-l^. ter and more respectful to readers to conduct an a rgument witho it otl'cnsivo per- 01 sonalities. It need not diminish earnest-1 m ncss or zeal, and decided.y increases the IUi cffect of what is urged, while it gives to ; tl. the newspaper that dignity and character j tl which should ever attach to a public a journal in South Carolina. a In expressing our views upon the sub- p; jpet of the proposed new county, we in-intended to give the public tho reasons for ej tho very decided opinions entertained by aJ us, and then leave tho subject. We thought if wo were fit to edit a newspaper in tho distinguished county of old ]_ Abbevillo, that much, at least, was due to our readers. We are of thoso who think a newspaper should be something more than mere advertisingmedium or a follower of public opinion, but should aspiro to bo something of a leader oj ? publico pinion." There is not a man in the county or in the proposednew county, to whom we could i 'K be induced to give just cause of ^ offense. "VVe have nevor reckon- g< ed tho temperato and proper expression pi ' of opinion upon any subject, as .giving M J?mt cause of ollense to any one, and wo jn are sure that tho intelligence of those di with whom we have differed will boar us tI( ' out in this assertion. Unloss something occurs which we vi do not foresee, wo may not have occasion h; to ' ifer to this subject again. Having ^ called public attention to the miitter. we s* think the people aud their reprosenta: fives will tako care that tho State sutfer 0, ' no dotrimout. Wo cunnot suppose that n thore is any serious danger of the Logis- ^ laturo doing what is proposed. Some yj time ago there was a kind of mania for ^ now counties, especially in our great d< neighbor Staio of Georgia. Our Stato has jai always been more conservative on that e? subject. After a large experience upon th tho subject our sister, Georgia, lias decid- cl odlv changed her views. In the Convention ^ now in session they are taking effective 0f measures to stop tho injurious and fatal )><>liey of making new countics. The w committeo on "Final Revision," has fa made tho following report which there is hi " good ground to bolievo will bo incorpora- j' ted into her constitution?the fundumcn- jM tal law of regenerated Georgia: tli Sec, 1. "The metes and bound* of the ecv-. or.il counties shall romalu as now prescribed . by law, unless changed as hereinaJter provi- br tied. oil tsec. 2. No new county shall be created. th Sec. 3, County lines Khali not be ehanjred, unless under the operation of a {jeueral law . for that purpose. !,i: spp. 4_ No <tountv slto shall be chanKCd. ex- co eept by a two-thirds vote of the qualified vo- lai tore or tho county, voting at au election held for that purpose, and a two-thirds voto of the , General Assembly. "1 Sec. 5. Old county organizations may be su dissolved and merged with contiguous coun- th ties l>y a two-thirds vote of tlie quill filed ;l^ electors of such county voting at an election ,r held for that purpose." It will l*e soen that Georgia will not al- uj low any more new counties. Changes may oo 1)0 made, but they must all be in the other direction. Two may be made out of wi three, but never threo out two. ^ They have been going on the an- w] alytical eystom. In the futuro tliey St propose to go on the synthetical. ''( Our own Stato also hits in her constitu- ^ tion a limitation upon the process of w manufacturing new counties. It was well known that parties directly interest- av ed, would always press for new counties, jn which would not promote tho general ni welfare, and therefore tho prohibition th which is in these words: . "No new county shall be hereafter "formed of less extent than six hundred w] 'and twenty-five square miles, nor shall T1 any existing counties bo reduced to a "leas extent than six hundred and twon"ty-five miles," Ac. th We think this a wise provision. Geor- co pia now proposes to follow the example. ^ This Is manifestly disapprobation of the j1{| tendency to make now counties. Wo un- p( deritand that to conform to this coustitu- as tional provision, tho proposed new county will be subjected to the following conditions: is No part of the territory of Newberry can be taken, which has not now more territory than the minimum allowed in pe the constitution. wl That the wholo area of six hundred fl and twonty-five square miles will have tu to be taken from Edgefield, Laurens and vi Abbeville?taking a largo plug out of re each, leaving tho old counties shapeless ^ and mutilatod?mero wrccks of their 0fc former selvos. pi The new county formed must itself be ^ shapeless and inconvenient?the Saluda tr traversing it diagonally, and the court m House would be within a very few w roll oh?we bolieve within five or six : inUeaef the Newberry line. %\ Tho Guardian still thinks that while wo may havo a right to our opinion upon ei the subject, yet that the "pooplo of Abbe- "1 villo have no right to dccide what is best for ?$"?that is, the peoplo of Ninety- ht Six. That is true, they are the proper ar judges of what is best for them, but we ^ havo a right to have a voice as to what is 'pj bost for us?that is all of Abbeville?in- he deed of the whole State. Who ever heard j pt of a partition without all the parties being | consulted. It is an important question? p( not a local but^a connty and State question, The constitution so regards it, and the whole Legislature have a vote upon (e the subject. If the question was not a serious one, wo would be pleased if the & 9 good peoplo of Ninety-Six, who desire ^ it, couid be gratifiod. But] this is too iui- w portant a matter, and we are suro they hi would net wish anything which would MAnrl MnltAir nn/1 (lift rfnnAfo] 1 ^ ruu UUUI1MU ^UUU J.J welfare of tho State. tk ??? n< rc The Governor Gives Mack Thomas a at Commission as Captain. ai We are informed that his Excellen- vi cy Governor Hampton has given to ** Mack Thomas, of this town, a com mis- m flion as Captain of Company "A." of ^ the "Eleventh Regiment of the Natienal Guards of Soutii Carolina," be which company hag been disbanded for the past eighteen months, and that ^ fee succeeded on Monday night in or- hi >2 e a?.. _ or gamzjng a compuny ut uivj uku hu-i der that commission. Yesterday hejtj, aaade formal demand of tbe former Pi Captain of the aforesaid defuuct com- m paoy for alt the guus, accoutrements, Afi., belonging to the State and now la the hands of tho old members. in This action of his Excellency is re-1 J* farcied as most remarkable, and but! jq for indisputable evidences, it would & not be believed here that the Government would countermand the order heretofore given to Captain White, ^ on? of our most highly respected citl-j G ns, to collect the arms belonging to estate in this community, and enlist that duty to such a man as Mack homas, who has been from first to st, arrayed against us, and is to-day nsidered as active a foe to good order id good government as could be und within the incorporate limits the town of Abbeville. When we y this action of the Governor is couriered remarkabie, we only make a ight expression of the indignity felt the act. which of all others, is cal dated to foster race hatred. We must believe that misrepresentation have been made to the Governor lie would not have issued a comission to such a man as Mack Thotns, against the wishes of nine-tenths oi ie peaceable law-abiding citizens of lis community. We must say, it is singular proceeding at least, to issur commission to a Captain of a commy before the company is organized, hen the law requires that at least ghty names shall be enrolled before ly commissions are issued.

Carinel was all astir upon tlit ibject of the temperance pie nic wliiel: as to be given uncler the Auspices of the ood Templars in their hall, at that sice. At an early hour carriages and lgqies loaded with numbers of peopli rived from every direction, and ere ng the grounds were thronged with inviduals eager to engage in the festivi?s of the occasion. At 11 o'clock the embers of the Lodge marched in proceson to the hall and wore followed by the sitors, to hear speeches from those whe id been invited to speak. The chairman, i. T. 13. Scott, iutrodueed as the lirsl >eaker, WM. H. CUTTISO, O. W. C. T., 'Sumter, S. C. The following are some the ideas of his speech: Temperance is ot religion, but its handmaid; the odge is to the church as-tho life boat is the ship. He advocated the principles ol . mperanco because it is clearly taught i tlie scriptures. Here he depicted the isolation and ruin caused by mtemperice, and showed by contrast the advnngo to tbo church and Stato to be obtuinI through Templar Lodges, lie said at it was oar duty as good citizens, as iristains, to engage in this work. We lould try to make the world better by )ing what wc can to improve the morals ' society. MR, T. M. OALPHIN asnortt introduced, and spoke of 'the efcts of intemperance, as it aims a death low at the citadel of all human strength; injures the brain, dethrones reason and akes an idiot of man. It is strictly resinsible to the nation for 20 per cent, of e idiots, 40 pen cent, of the lunatics, 70 >r cent, of tue criminals, 90 per cent, of o paupers, and 95 per cent, of shiftless, oken-down, broken-hearted people of ir commonwealth. The entrance into ese broad tields of intoxication, covered ith dead men's bones, is moderate drink<). This is the source from whence mes all the drunkards who infest the nd; it is the recruiting camp to the my of drunkards. Young men! you io aro laying the foundation for future cccss or defeat, do not incorporate in is foundation the small leak ol moder3 drinking, for it will take away one od quality aftor another, until at last will land your immortal soul a wreck >on the shore of eternity. Aftor the nclusion of Mr. Galphin's speech tho HOUR FOR DINNER is annonncea, ana inc koou sauies 01 t. Curmel were soon busily engaged in nptying tlieir baskets upon the table Inch bad been erected near the hall, ilflce it to say they displayed groat pr0:iency in the culinary art, and the ag r tions of the inner man were completely cilied by the dilicious viands with Inch the table was abundantly supplied. The remainder of the recess "was passed iray by tlie young people in discussing .ri'oustopics. Judging from the glowg countenances of several ot the young en from Abbeville, another subject an temperance engaged their attention. At 3 o'clock the audience re-assembled the hall, and the chairman introduced MB. H. O. SCUDDY, !io responded in substance as follows: ie occasion that has called us together is deed a noble one. It is unlike the ated gatherings of tho last campaign, r the days of the red shirt are over, and e cry of homo rule and reform has been nsigned to history. The ramparts of ?dicalism have been shattered by the afts of eternal truth, and South Ooroli, h;is been raised from her fated tomb. ,nfi\?**r y~\ Q/tlnAi A O C3 tJirtl 1 "ilUU Ucltli ii.*) Y IV wm v iv ovuiv?c tio n via war. When the l:ist battle has been light, aud the clouds of sulphuric vaiur have been rolled from the arch of laven, then comes the tug of battle. It here that morality and immorality ?h their spheres; it is here that intemiranco and falsehood stand in Bolid phanx to impede the onward march of temiranco and justice; it is the period hen those who waive the victor's palm ust turn their eyes from the bloody )ld to collect together their broken fornes;to raise aloft their standard of rlue, and to join hand to hand in the demption of the morals of their fellowuntrymen. This is the object of our semblage; what a grand and noble tject. It is one that has for its aceomishrnent something far more superior the ascendancy of one party ovor anher in political affairs. Th? day of your iumph is in the archives of the future; arch onward and the God of battles ill guide and direct your legion6. MR. S. 0. CASON as then called for. He favored the alienee with a short and interesting speech, a loading feature was "woman's inlluice." After dwelling at some length ion this branch of the subject, he said : e need her inlluence in the church; wc U rttfomrnrliovn onH /nluronry ii/ uciu, v|-"?vi4i^ *...3 md upon his heart, ho said in a loud id animated tone,) wo need it here. Thus closed the pic nic exorcises of the t.

Let her get out o! ie old ruts, and start out on a new caier. This new schedule is a step in the ght direction. The only objection tc ie new arrangement that we see is that jw it is so pleasant to ride on the Railtad that people will not bo ablo to stay home.

"uebJ 'u> I Cant. M. F. Thomas, colored, of th< m Bloody Klovonth, called at our office i .! few days ago, and pave a glowing aceoun of his visit to Columbia. He was at al i the Statu offices in the Capital, and sayi that he was never as well treated in liii life, lie went first to the Governor'! office and was introduced to his Excel lency. When the Governor addressee him as "Mr. Thomas" ho "felt curious al ' over, and when he next day called hin ! 'captain,' he could scarcely stand it.' Mack, as wo call him, explained to thi Governor all about the re-organizatton o the colored military company at this place, but of which re-organization somi of our citizens at least, had not heard j The colored company which has hereto fore existed at this place needs no eulogj from us for the active part it has taken it years gone by to solidify the negroe: against us. Mack explained that he hat been elected captain and that he \vantc< . a commission for himself and the othe olficcrs for this delectable company. A this meeting tho Governor was very po lite, and Mack says he was the "clevores ! man he ever met." JIo wishes that ever) i Republican in Abbeville county couh have an interview with him and all tin . other State officers." Mack says tha [ "General Moisc is a nice gentleman." H< : sum umi uIU ucutTrti iiiui&ui i as happy to meet him." The Genera introduced him to the Secretary of Stat as "Captain Thomas." General Moisi > also introduced him to the Treasurer Leaphart. and other officers, and he wa > I otherwise shown the courtesy usually ex > tended to distinguished citizens. Whei , Mack went back the next duv, thov all i frojn the Governor down, addressed hiir as "captain." The Governor said "yoi have an intelligent face and I like you; countenance very much, and I will im ' pose an important duty upon you?tin 1 collecting of the State arms now in th< ) county." . Mack says he was invited by some o ; the State officers to take a seat in a lini ' bret drawn by two horses, to go to witness ! the target shooting. Here he was treatei better than ever. lie was introduced t< ail the elegant gentlemen there as "Cap tain Thomas, from Abbeville." Nobody ; called him "Mister," and ho was certaii ' that nobody thought of calling hiir "Mack."?tiiev didn't know that part o his name at all. Sovcral gentlemen askec him to drink lager beorwith them, whicl invitation lie accepted. After Mack had been going arounc with the distinguished Democrats, t party of black Radicals approached hin and said, "Hello, Thomas, you are goinj back on us. You used to be a good lte publican." Mack said, "What do yot mean?" "Why, wo sec you going arounc here with Moi.se and Haskell and thest ' other fellows. They are the worst kini of Democrats. They lmven't got a bit o use.for a nigger." Mack said, "I an looking out lor Mack Thomas now. j am attending to my own business." Mack says he lias been going trf C'olum bia ever sinec 1S73, and he never had a* glorious a time in all his lil'e. He know* the Democrats now in ollico in Coluinbii are better than any of tho Itads that have held position there. Thursday morning Mr. Swaffield, th( merchant tailor of Columbia, sent liif horse and buggy to tho hotel whero Mack was stopping, with the request that "Captain Thomas would come to see him.' Mack got in the buggy and was driven U the front of tho store where he was met al the door by Mr. Swallicld, whose u rban , it}* made quite a favorable impression or the "Captain." Mr. S. had noticed in th< Register his appointment as Captain ant desired to contract with him lor a uni form for his company, exhibiting at th< samo time all his samples, and proposec to send a tailor up to measure the coin pa ny whoncver thoy determined to have i uuifonn made. lie said he also visited some of theedi tors in Columbia. He was much pleasec with their politeness. They called bin "captain" and he called them "editor." "Captain" Thomas says he doesn'i know which side he will take in politic: next time, but he "guesses that ho wil be on the right side." It may be good policy to arm a com pa ny of such men as Mack Thomas in thi: community, but we are unable to see it The Govornor thinks so, howevor, and w< do not propose to commit treason jus now, by expressing a different view o: tho matter. ? n >1 *% ! *> n Anniversary 01 me Mier nines Shooting Match?Barbccucd DinnerSpeech by Abbeville's Truest Son.

Editor Press and Banner : As you are always willing and ready t< publish anything of interest to your read era, or any part of them, I enclose the following account of the anniversary cele bration of the Butler Rifles, at Cokesburj last Wednesday. The writer took tho f o'clock truin in company with the Hon Robert R. Hemphill, Col. Jas. S.Cothran the orator of the day, Mr. T. C. Seal, Rev Wm. Wiglitraan and othors. Tho Abbo villo delegation was taken in charge bj Mr. Mac. Moscly, the princo ol'good l'el lows, and Mr. G.*M. Hodges. The meet ing was to be held at the sulphur springs about three miles from tho junction When wo arrived we were astonishoi beyond measure to find about two hun dred ard liftv ladies present. Then were about the same number of gentle men present. The exercises of the da} consisted of the election of officers, shoot 1 ing match, courting young ladies, catinf : a barbecued dinner and listeniug to au 1 eloquent address from Col. Cothran. The company consists of about on< hundred mem born. They aro a tine bodi of men and are worthy to represent Edge * lield's noble and patriotic sons.

Cothran in regard t< tho fence law and new county was th< beat and strongest we have heard: Thai the fence law will pass in a few years bin not at present. Tho people are not prepared to adopt it yet. The arguments used in the Press and Banner against tlu new county were partly those used by the eloquent speaker. Of course they . were made stronger, ?ud coming out thev did before a crowd in sympathy . with them, they carried every thing boforc i them. In scathing terms ho denounced the idea of mutilating the grand old county of Abbeville. He said that for thirty years they had been pegging away al establishing a new county. * He said thai Judge D.

Hints for August. THE FIKLP. Threshing of smull grain Is usually finished I and crops laid by ere tliis, and atiention should be directed to saving forage. C orn fodder should be carefully saved. The better plan is to pull the lower blades tlrst, as soon as their vigor shows signs of declining; if neelccted until the whole stalk is ready to be nulled, the lower blades will lie almost worthloss. We tried last year the (lill'erent plans of . securing corn fodder and liked the plan of cutting the stalk with the fodder and ears as | soon as the kernel of corn become sered and hard, and setting up around a hill in small shocks to cure. And when dry lay down, | break the ears oft" and draw them by themI selves and also the corn fodder and stalks 5 ! bound, and In the winter have a cutting box I that will cut eorn stallts, ami thus cut the fodderand stalks together. The stuck will eat i the whole rapidly. The stalks are nutritious j when cut and ho given. Many that saw us - li.nfflntr if. wrnilrl fill ft. the nnlH b\" I) VMIVXIH I..U?.r,..V .V ? , shrinking, hul a person could not tell the difference, as the remaining juiec in the stalk lifter it is cut lil Ik out the "car. This way is less - work than the common mode here of strip* pint; the leaves and topping and then gather t the corn, an<l besides the stalks arc left on the 1 field to bother the plow, lint a person wants . a good barn to store the fodaer and a good cutting box. which we say every farmer j should have, and thereby the stalks are 3 turned into manure. We would like to hear - from others who have hud experience in this ] matter. Cotton picking will soon claim attention. 1 See that every arrangement is made for i storing, ginning and packing. ' Hweet potatoes must he keptfree from weeds B ?do not allow the vines to strike roots ut the r Joints; tliis may be prevented by liftiug the vines after a rain and laying tbem on the i higher part of the ridge. 3 Milch cows should have green food if your . pastures arc on upland and dry and harsh. _ Give them plenty of salt weekly and free access to fresh water. ' When the rag weed and crab grass Is tully 1 grown and before It begins to dry up, tliut has s grown in the wheat and oat stubble, turn 1 under with a good two horse turniug plow j and chain. It is the cheapest manure. Sow turnips as soon as the ground Is in pro1 per condition. Use a plecc of land cow pennt ed, or stable manure spread broadcast and - ploughed under. The seed may be sowed t, broadcast or in drills, mixed with ashes to . distribute ttesced more evenly. Weproferto sow in drills two feet apart, and thin out 1 when howl eight tot ten inches lr the row. 0 Distribute from 2iK)to3W) pounds of duperphost pliatc in the drills per acre, covering slightly 3 before sowing the seed. Many complain of bad seed, but the fault in getting a good stand } more frequently occurs from hot dry weather 1 tl.? <1..

It Is useless to have sucs cess unless your ground Is made rich. Cotton will reuuiro a little hoeing toremovr l stray weeds and buuehes of grass and light ploughing occasionally to keep the surface ' loose and mellow as long as they can be given 1 without breaklug the limbs or knocking off l the bolls. It Is considered indispensable by r some (hat the cotton should be topped about . the 10th of August to prevent the plant lrom , throwing out any additional bolls which like' ly would be cut oil by the frostand thus check 3 growth and throw all the energy of the plant Tnto developing the fruit. Sometimes It 1' proves advantageous. If, however, the weatha cr is wet and warm, and the plant is disposed " to grow very rapidly, it UBUully accoinplishJ cs little or no good. ? Some cling to the idea of planting Irish po5 tatoes for wlnt or use. We oonslder planting - a sccoud crop in nine-tenths of the cases a . failure. Last year we planted ten bushels of ' early rose in July and lost tbcm by the liol 1 dry weather. The great dlllleulty has hcrel toforebccn in gettiug tho seed to sprout, and f even then the not sun kills them planted In j July without suffioient rains to keep the . ground moist. Jt is claimed, if planted in 1 August, there will be time enough in the fall to mature the early kinds before the frost and I thus have the benefit of the rains usual lit this i mouth, Tho following plau we have been , urged to try as being vory successful : It Is , presumed the first crop was dug and tho seed > spread in*home cool, shady place by July 1st. " Take them the llrstof the present month und i bed them whole, as you would sweet potatoes, I in some moist., shady place and mulcn them. , keeping the same wet, so that they will sprout, and by the latter part of August, 1 when the irround Is sndiuientl v moist, cut the f sprouted potatoes in pieces o! two eyes and i plant lu drills tIn co feet apart and eighteen [ inches apart In the row: one piece In a place. Home tlilnk It hotter not to cui the potato, but best to plant them of small size when sprouted, uk it is thought they are not so liable to rot. Manure wuli with stable manure in the furrow made for the potatoes by a turning plow, or use superphosphate at tlio rate of :W0 pounds per acre, ('over so that the drill l>u a little below the surface to catch the rains. When the plunUuro up, work with a cultivator or sweep. GAltnEXS. Late cabbages may still be set out In showery weather. Tomatoes are greatly benefited by clipping ofl'the longer vines, by which thu lower growth will be encouraged. Cucumbers may still be planted for late use and pickling purposes. Only such runners should be allowed ou strawberries as arc needed for set-; ting out in the fall, Prepare your ground ncxtinoutli lory, lull garden. In the fruit and Moral garden, budding may yet be done on late growing trees where the bark will peel.

Oyer's Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to . its natural Vitality and Color. original color, with the gloss and, freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as_ remain can be saved for usefulness*by this application. Instead of fouling the Vioiv wirti ? rmot.v sprlimpr.t. it will IIU11 II 1VU M J/MWVJ m ? .? ? , keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning, gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit . but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. t RJCF J. B S D Jt T Dr. J. C.
