The Press and Banner. Wednesday. Augus, 22, 1877. g.-^j A Ilond Worker Itrnms Anotlicr.--Rensy Cuiinin2hiiin Kills Lewis Prince With a IIoc. It is our duty to again give an account of a human being cut down in a moment in the vigor of young manhood, almost without a moments warning. The ficts as we learn them are tin-si-: On (ho section of road worked l?v Mr. Jaither ISowman near Mr. John Arnold's on Wednesday the l"?th, Inst., Honsy Cunningham and Lewis I'rinee were laboring together. Prince was useing a hoe? Cunningham was plowing. Prince was hareshod, Cunningham trod upon Prince's foot who remarked, with an oath, "if you do it again I will pop you." Cunningham begged his pardon. Prince continued cursing him. Cunningham begged his pardon two or three times, and finally got "riled" at the continued abuse o.j Prince and says if you want to "pop," "pop," I asked your pardon. "If you will drop your hoc I will tight you a fair fight.% Prince still cursing, Cunningham having no weapon attempted to get a rock out of the ground which was partly buried. Failing to do this, he picked tip an oak root about IS inches long walking towards Cunningham told him to pop away. Prince, before Cunningham advanced in striking distance, saws stonand at the same time struck him twice! with his hoc, hitting nt his head but striking Lis arm whiHh was thrown up as a shield, after Cunningham was struck twice A\ith a hoc bv PiciiHe ho threw the root at him but did not strike him. Having nothing to defend himself with, Cunningham stopped back about six paces and picked up a hoe, and hero tile evidence of those who were standing around conflicts. Some say Prince followed Cunningham and when Cunningham picked up the hoc and was roadv to strike, Prince iiad his hoe raised realty to come down. Others say Prince stood still while Cunningham picked up the hoc and advancing three paces they both raised their hoes in the air and came down at the same time. Cunningham's hoe handlo was about six inches the longest, and the hoc came down in the center of Prince's head, cutting it open. Prince's hoe being six inches shorter brushed the cheek of Cun lin^ham and struck him in the short ribs. Cunningham did not leave the ground. Prince was carried home and Jived hours. About an ounce of brains came out during his removal. An inquest was held over the body 0:1 Friday by Trial ^Justice Jieckham. Rensy Cunningham Vats brought down and lodged in jail by JStioriir J Cues. The Fencc Law. As was expected the now fencc law was rejected in everv township in Abbeville canity except ^ir.oty-Six. In Laurenscounty, tlie law was rejected bv ;i hirijc majority?the negroes ' voting* solidly against it. J11 Chester the Jaw has been adooted by the whole county. In FairlielM county several of the townships, including Winnsboro, adopted tlie law. The requirement's of the present law is too burthensomo to ite borne, by the firming interests of the county, and wc hope tlio good judgment of the'mciubers of our Legislature will prompt them to give us the desired relief as soon as they Jlsscinoio WHIUT. 111V ituvnniiips of the ho fenee law will bo so apparent in the townships and counties that have adopted it that we hope to see an immediate change. Save Your Fruit. It is not often that our people are Messed with sueh an abundance of fruit, as i> now to be found in our county, nor should they fail to make proper use of it, while it is within their reach. We pay too little attention to home ewnnmv, and to those little industries which in the ajrj<regato cover so much money. It is true that we have no market for our fruit just now, but every bushel of it can be converted into money by drying, canning, preserving and distilling "it, and saving tor the fall and winter market. At this treason our people have an abundance of time to devote to this work, and we assure them that they will lind a ready market for every pound they save, flicrc is money in it. I N The Fair. At a meeting of tho directors of the Abbeville Agricultural Society, hold henl:ist Wednesday, it was determined to have a Fair, on the 17th, 18th and 10th oi October. Everybody is oxpected to contribute liberally for the exhibition, so that we may expect one of the best Fairs <*ver held in tho county, and why not? our county is in a more* prosperous condition thaii for a long while. Crops are promising? every body hopeful; and we run and must have a rousing Fair. Let all lend a helping hand and make the effort a grand success. At an informal meeting of some oi our most intelligent citizens a few days ago it was determined to inquire of our representatives, their views on the new Court House business. This is a matter of threat public concern and their constituents have a right to know their views on tho matter, and we have no doubt that they will freely express their opinions. We know that no Representative of Abbeville will hesitate to answer a respect l'ul call from their constituents. Homk Grown Tea.?We had the pleasure of inspecting at the Alston 1 louse, last week a fine specimen of tea loaves grown on a tea tree owned by Miss <-arrio MeFall, of High Shoals, in Anderson eounty. The t?a extracted from these leaves was of a delightful taste, fully equal to any that we havo ever drank. Miss McFall several years ago obtained thirty-six plants, and of the number only one grew. Not Esoroir.?We learn that the proposed new county will lack about one hundred and fifty square tnlles of having the constitutional requirement for a count}'. If thin is true, the move is dead, unless they mako a new survey, ami take in moro territory. It won't do however for our people to let the matter rest under this impression, for additional territory m.xy be taken, which will make it still "worse for tho people of Abbeville county. KEPHESENTATIVE vaillSOn, 0[ r.u^Cfiold, is in favor of the new county. We learn that he was hero a fow <1:iys looking for a law dictionary, or something of that sort, to prepare himself to practice law at Ninety-Six. We have'no definite means of ascertaining the number of young lawyers who expect to practice at that place. Wk have received a note from W. C. j lionet, Esq., who, with Mrs. B., is now at Tillicoultry Scotland. He says th( 7*. <? ]!. roaches him regularly, "exactly two weeks from the datoof its issue." 'He SiiVH "it keeps him up and en rappart, with Abbeville affairs." Wo were glad to hear from him and to know that our: paper was appreciated by him. Sow plentifully of winter turnips. The seasons for sowing have been fine and we trust nono have lost the opportunity* for putting plenty of seed in tho ground. Those who have not done so yet should loso no tlino, for they do not "know how long the seasons will continue. Nothing assists tho old cow to get through the winter bettor than turnips. The Trustees of Upper Long Cane church will clean the rubbish from tho ccmetary on Thursday the 30th instant. All interested are requested to lend a helping hand. Those who cannot assist in work may contribute in money by handing the sanm to Mr. W. T. Branch or Mr. John T. Lvon. It is hoped that all may assist in this work. Larok Sale.?Our townsman Mr. II. W. Lawson', has sold during this season about five thousand quart and half-gallon tin and plans cans for preserving fruit. This is the largest sale of the kind ever made in Abbeville, and we.learn that Mr. Lawson will make a thousand more of till cans. Dr. >1. C. Taegart, at Greenwood, has ono of the best flouring mills in the county. His mill is often crowded, but the Doctor is energetic and accommodating and will soon send you home with fino Hour and a good turnout. Waking Up. ? Wo are delighted to see that our Lowndesvillc friends are waking up on the subject of a railroad. See notice of appointment of a railroad meeting at that placo in another column.

Any rich, pulverized soil will do if you will "use a v ittie phosphate of lime. In 1'iet the great ( discovery of the value of hones as a ma- ^ ouro for turnips, hut for all crops, was I jj Uncovered by a close observer noticing j that a certain turnip was larger than its . mates.

When we see none, the I conclusion is forced upon us that he either! knows not its great sa. ing valuo or is tooj * lazy to bother with it. The ground must | be as rich as your means will allow. Yon j r| cannot make yonr ground too rich fori this crop. It will grow better in a manure pen than anv whore else and the) 2 more your patch resembles a pile of i, manure, the finer will bo your crop. Pui:rAitE to Pt.axt Fuxtit TltKTis.? o In a warm climate like the South, fruit c should bo used largely. It is cooling and n refreshing. In fact jUI meats nmLhighly seasoned food should bedespensed with ti until cool weather returns. If nil the d farms in Abbeville county wero as well v supplied With fruit as Mr. L. C.
