The Press and Banner. Wednesday. Sept. 12, 1877. Town Council Election. Tho annual election for members of the Town Council tame off last Monday. There was but little oxcitemcnt as there was but one tiekot in tho lield. The total number of votos cast was 200; of this number W. H. Parker, Ksq., received 206; scattering 3. T. P. Quarles, 1S9; J. F- C. DuPre, 1ST; J. \V. Sign, 184; A. Bequest, 180. There wore 20 scattering votes for aldermen, none of which wore cast for Radicals. There was no politics or division on tho color line. The best of feeling prevails among all, and the old council have had a deserved coinnlimont naid to thorn by this cominn nity for the efficient and impartial man- J1 nor in which thoy have discharged their dutios for the past twelve months. 1 Reduce the Fare. ? As evidence of what we said as to the necessity of a reduction in the Railroad < fare from the various Depots in the county, wo will state that criminals sent from v Ninety-Six to this are generally sent liV private conveyance. The consta- L l>le being able to hire a horse and jL>uggy cheaper than lie can buy tickets on the Railroad. We trust that the Suporin- M tendent of the Road will look into this! matter. As it is very few persons come t to the court liouso by rail. We are sure that iftho faro was reduced to 75 cents , from Ninety-Six to come and return that * the ltoad would mal^> more money, and the i>eoplo would bebetterpleased with the Road. Personal..?We had the pleasure of greeting in our office yesterdav morning . M. L. Bonham, jr., Esq., the talented and * genial editor of the Ninety-Six Guardian, who is now in attendance upon the court ? lit this place. Hero we have another roa-! ? ? / ? i s son for opposing the new county, ior 111 he had had a court house at Ninety-Six wo should nt>t have had the pleasure of]} meeting him on this occasion. Mr. Bon- > Jiam handles the pen with remarkable |s ease and graoe, wliile his energy and j1 adaptability to the newspaper business | enables him to make one of the most 1 readable papers received at this office. 1 Ninety-Six will never have a better edited or better printed paper than the j (ittardian. We predict that a young j lawyer of his education, tact and ability will soon seek a larger place than NinetySix to pursue the profession of the law. ' A Pleasant Surprise.?M r. W. B. Acker and Master Chiirlie Dodson came ] to town last Friday morning with a wag- , on load of good tilings from the ladies of the Baptist church, at Donaldsville, to their pastor, the Kev. R. N. Pratt, of this ' place. The presents consisted of I articles used in the eating and wearing lines, as well as some goods for the fur- j Dishing of his dwelling?Mrs. Pratt and J the little dauglier being also remembered. These were sent as a testimonial of the ] good feeling among the members of the , church for their pastor, and we have no doubt this was most cheering to the young preacher. J Personal.?Judge Cooke, of this cir c.'llll, was in ittiuxuuuici; unuh hju v?mu one or two days last week, while Judge ( Northrop was on the Bench. Judge 1 t'ooko luts been assigned to the First t Circuit and will, in a few weeks, go to Orangeburg to discharge the duties of . his otlice. Last Fall the Judge cast his J fortune with the Democrats and inadb his first Hampton speech in the grove near the depot about one year ago, which was responded to by such a shout as iiad t never been heard in old Abbeville. < A Long time ago, the African was decoyed or stolen from his native shores by tlie Yankees, and sold to the Southern i i*eople. It is now suggested .that Morton and Ulainc, may be trying to get a boat , load of them from our*shores, ostensibly ' to go to Liberia, butlu fact to be taken to South America where they can be sold for two hundred dollars apiece. It takes ( a Yankee to fool a negro. Tub advocates of the new county of f Butler, to be sliced <>1V of Edgehcld, Aiken and Lexington, desire to locate the court house at tho Butler grave yard. Wo think that is the proper place for it c^uite a number of new court houses will likely be buried this winter, and it's well to have them in close proximity to a oemctary.

If j'ou can give 0 money, then work out your pari in this roat enterprise. Furnish lumber, crosses, provisions for the laborers, do someling, do anything you can to help on tho ork, Now ! Norf.' Now is tho propitious me. Delays are dangerous, and procrasnation is ruinous. Mako up your minds, osolve to build tho road, and it ill be built, and its completion will lake a new era in the history of this uiiftil valley of tho Savannah. Make 1 long pull, a strong pull and a puli alto:ther,' and you must succeed. MR. E. 13. HURRY, Andorson, was next introducl. Ho spoke fifteen minutes. His rciarks were to tho point and wero t'avor>ly received. Ho had not come, lie said, i speak but to sco the interest manifost1 in tiio enterprise, to feci somo of tho | ithusiasni that was felt, and to go back id stir up his people to greater dilimcc. Ho felt coiiiidcnt that the people >uld build tho Road. Ilo know thai it as a necessity, and that it ought to bo lilt now. Material lor building was leap and convicts can be procured for ss money than any other class of labor-! s. Don't Jet the present opportunity vss unimproved ; begin to work now. L/tM,. XJ. >1* IVUMVMi, ' Anderson, was next introduced id spoke for lialf an Jiour in Lis hapcst style. Rhetoric, logic and eloacneo wbre combined, to move the poolo to work, to work now. He showed it; necessity of advancing. A statu of in tivitv m wmt ruin, slow perhaps, at sure. Tho proposed road, will not be mere local allium, but the hist link in the and chain that will connect tho great nin-growing States of tlie North and fest, with tJio South Atlantic States. I he grading on the entire lino would not I >st more than one thousand dollars 1,000) per mile, and the people can and ill raise that amount, and more if nceesiry. The Colonel closed his remarks with an oquent tribute to our grand old com.011 wealth, and predicted a glorious fu-1 ire for her, when sho shall have resum- j i tho position that who onco. occupied I nong fier sister States, asPtlie truo ioud, and protector of tho Union under ic constitution, and the vindicator oi ates-rights. TJio IIOX. W. K. BBADLEY, ;0 "Old lioman" of the Houso of Rcpsentatives, was next introduced, and ceived with applause. lie began by ropoutiug the old "saw," here there is a will there is a way, eferred to the past and present condiun of our State. Spoke of the atnpen>us efforts, put fortii last Fall, to rid lr country of the oppression, tyranny ul despicable misrule of the thieving >rdo of northern scoundrels, who hail rung the hard earned living from (ho inds of our people, and had crown rich i the spoils of office. The Old lioman tndled them with gloves otf. After lowing what mighty results had been :complished by united effort, what oming impossibilities had been porrmed by a grand uprising of the peole, ho urged all who were interested, to ) up and doing; to use the same dilimce in promoting the financial wollafo ' the country, that thoy used last year to ulecm tlio Prostrate State. If but a tithe of the enthusiasm, that 1011 existed, couiu uc luiuaua mu) mo ;oplo oil the subject of building this uul, suid thereby, developing tho renii'ce.s of this, 'tho liuest part of tlio ate, ho know that the road would be lilt. The Colonel then made some atomcnts about tho Greenwood and ugusta Road, and dosed by advising lo ganizo a company to-day, to begin ork now, and never know such word as il, keep moving until tho road shall be aeed upon a permanent basis, and then ie Savannah side will bo what it onec as, the wealthiest portion of tho coun', and will not, as it now is, bo excluded oin all, except the right to work for the >st of tlio county. t JI is remarks wore frequently intorlpted by applause.

Greenville, Spartanburg, Union, Greenwood and other villages, had delegates thoro in force. The object in view was to block out a great trunk lino from Spartanburg via Laurens to Augusta. l)r. lJarksdalo, of Laurens, presided, and ably conducted tho duties of the chair. Each delegate was allowed one ho'ur to discharge. Spartan burg took the initiatory in the person of Mr. Hugh Farly, a graceful and impressive speaker, lie enthused everybody and "brought down" the house when lie extended and endorsed Spartanburg's hcart-folt co-oporation in tho effort to put down railroad monopolies. Mr. Sliand, of Union, followed in a masterly effort, and in looking through his glasses along a "narrow gaugo to Union" manfully held his own, and wo beliovo won over auxiliaries to ,his progressive railroading, but for the present is in the wrong pew. Grcouville was next honored. Tho speakers stand in tho porsons of Judge Cook, who fought a good light, and with paternal affection warned tho pilgrims to avoid; tho Tygors. and set their compass towards Greenville?tho routo God hud mado for thom to go?thence wont up three cheers. Greenwood was lustily called for next, and was ably represented by Messrs. Blake and Parks. At this stage of tho proceedings, tho convention seemed to rise when Greenwood's name was called. Somehow every delegate present seemed to feel that Augusta was near them whilst Greenwood held the stand. The Greenwood and Augusta Kailroad held out inducements to connect with it at Greenwood, and from thence over it to Augusta. Keally there seems to bo no doubt but that tho grand trunk will pass through Greenwood. Ninety-Six was thcro, and put in her united and willing co-operation to carry out tho grand scheme against railroad monopolies, and as her town was on the striught line from Spartanburg to Augusta, would subscribe her bottom dollar to( the enterprise. Messrs. Kico and Bonham made favorable impressions upon the convention in bohaif of tho NinetySix route. About this time, (3 o'clock,) tho writor thought best to feed tho inner man, and surely ho enjoyed a most cxcolleut dinner at tho Simmon's Hotel. Next week wo will finish the procecd: ings of tho convention. Tho Charleston and Greenville and Columbia ltailroaus were handled with glovej off, about their freights and discriminations. PEG. Public Meeting ? Senator Maxwell indorsed. Greenwood, S. ('., Sept., 8,1877. Pursuant to call, a public mooting was held in Aiken's Hall, in relation and relation to tho published viows of Senator Maxwell on tho subject of tho new county. _ _ . Alter Senator Maxwell naci rreoiy expressed himself, on molion of Mr. A. M. Aiken the following pruamblo and resolutiohs were adopted. Whereas, dilt'erent constructions have been given to Senator Maxwell's response to "Many Democrat#," and whereas he has, in a public mooting explained his position on the subject of tho now county, to our cntiro aotisl'action, therefore. resolved. 1st, That it is tho sense of this mooting that the article of "Many Tax Payors," in tiio last issue of tho J'rcss and Banner, is unjust and uncalled for. That Senator Maxwell has done nothing to establish said county, and in reply to "Many Democrats," recognizing the right of tho pcoplo to his views as their representative, has frankly, freely and l'ear-] lessly declared his purpose to lie governed by a majority of tho bona fide citizons, (property holders) in each and all three localities of which said county is proposed to bo formod. A loss frank expression would havo been unworthy tho po Hilton 01 tsonaior, or si wunuy representative of tho people. 2d, That in the opinion of this mooting tho above position of Senator Maxwoll is correct. 3rd, That while we endorse tho views of Senator Maxwell jus above expressed, wo do not thereby commit ourselves to tho proposition for a now county, but ronllirm our opposition tlioreto. On motion, ordered that these proceedings bo published in 1'rcsa and Banner and Medium. J. T. PARKS, Chairman. Ecosiann t.! ".e. . l." 1 * ? State of Soutli Carolina, Jf Abbeville County.
