Cotton-ltaggers in Trouble.
Last Thursday night, the twentieth,
some citizens of Long Cane determined
to satisfy themselves as to whether n
farmer i>> that neighborhood was buying
seed cotton or not. Tlie first night proved
that their suspicions wero well founded.
These gentlemen were quietly resting on
tho side of tho road about a quarter of a
mile from tho suspected house, when
three colored men?Wash Gibson, Warren
Henry and George Roberts?came
up. They were halted and questioned,
when they told that thev had been to T.
S. Leard's where they had "sold some
seed cotton to get a little dram." They
bad the whiskey in bottles. Tho negroes

tv came to town and swore out a warrant
before Trial Justice Calhoun at this place,
and the Sheriff was at once dispatched for
Leard, who was arrested about sunrise
next morning, and was brought to Trial
J ustico Calhoun's ollice, where a coin pro- j
inise was made, heard paid $72.40 costs
and was released from prosecution on tlie
faith of a promise to leave the State foverer.
Leard was a young man, nbo:U twen-1
ty-two or twenty-throe years of a<e, and j
lias left the country, a wanderer in a |
stnufgo land. The* sympathies of the!
community arc deeply felt for a good j
mother, whoso erring child has gone into j
exile.

men who would live by the sweat of nth-.

HE net promptly in like manner, and the pesH
tiferous cotton backer will lie known

la; peoplo of Long (Jane mean to have the

aw What Negro Criminals mid Negro,
SSJ Paupers Cost Abbeville County. |
||] Few persons, we presume, are aware of
?| the large sums of money which the negro
spy criminals and negro paupers take from
the public treasury of Abbeville county.
ga The burden is one grievous to be borne,
H| nnd any one who could make a sugges
1 ion or otfer a plan by which the iudusj|j
try of the county would be taxed less,
iSl would be a public benefcator. We are
||J indebted to Mr. Robert Jones, the Chair
man of the Hoard of Comity Com.nission||
ers, for the following, as the probable cost
|g lor the year which he says is not an
overestimate:

Jt will be remembered that this estimate
is entirely l'or the colored people.
Kx-SherilFOui'tiu turned over the jail to
Sherilf Jones with a largo number of nojm^es
and one white man as imitates.
Since that time, nearly one year, there
has been but one white prisoner in the
jail?all the others have been black. Willi
tii figures before us, Mr. Jones thinks
it strange that any of our people should
be opposed to the black man going to
Liberia.
Double Marriage.
Some people's daughters stay at home
until tho executor sells the old gent's
property, but not so with Mr. Stephen)
Xorrell's daughters, two of whom were
married last week, aged respectively
fourteen and sixteen years. We congratulate
tho young gentlemen and young
ladies who were so happily married, and
trust that they may live long to bless the
tie that binds their souls in sweet accord.
A Cotton* IIagoek Baok?ed.?Near
.Bradley's Mills the neighbors f >r weeks
have been lying out night after night
trying to catch a cotton bagger. They
fuled until last Thursday night about
eleven o'clock ho was caught in the act.
T\vT> of the party came at once to the village,
roused Justice Calhoun at two
o'clock from his peaceful dreams, made
the proper alUduvit for a warrant, went
to the jail, pulled Sheriff Jones out at
3 o'clock, and proceeded to the place of
barter and trade, after dark. Ti.ey arrived
about seven o'clock; found their man and
arrested him; thinking it was a penitentiary
otfenee, he concluded to die before
ho would g;>, but he did not die and he
came to the village and was lined fifty
dollars and costs for breaking the recent
democratic law against buying cotton
after dark. This is tho beginning of the
CI 111*
Some of our citizens are in favor of
calling a railroad meeting to take steps to |
bring the road from Anderson to connect j
with the Greenwood and Augusta rail-1
road by this place. They think if they
ean offer greater inducements than other
sections of the county, that they should
have tho road, but if others put forth
more capital and labor, why let them carry
off the palm. Let the honest victor
always have the laurel, is our motto.
Lowndcsville will not be outdone.
Mu. .Gaines Sci:udy, our handsome
young law student, who is so popular
with the young ladies, says that he knows
a man who is so eloquent, that his words
How from his mouth like wa.cr. He
didn't state however, whether they came
out as the sweet murmur of the silvery
rivulet as it meanders through roseate
bowers, or whether they came with the
majestic roar of the mighty waters that
rush down the thundering cataract.
XVK look forward to the fall of 1S7S
with much pleasure, for, from what the
small birds whisper in our ears we arc
forced to the conclusion that some of our
young "professional brethren" expect to
take the all eventful step. Go on and be
happy, we hope to follow suit?after a
while.
Marriage in ITioii Life.?Israel
Bowie the man who rings Trinity Church

We read not lonjsince of an experimont
in Virginia, in tl? use of bono dust. A
gentleman who *as aware of thp needs of
the soil purchaed about two hundred
acres of land, diich had been allowed to
grow up in buses, he gave for it twenty
dollars per acre Ho cleared it up and
applied one tousand pounds of bone
dust per acre, md planted it in corn, the
corn was follovcd by wheat and timothy
grass, with lie hundred pounds more of
bone dust; th< wheat was harvested by
the purchaser but the next spring before
the timothy wx ready for cutting, he sold
tho land for o:e hundred dollars per acre.
The seller estmated, that the wheat and
corn paid foirlearing, and the bone dust
and workings!" the crops, if so the profit
realized duriig the three years that he
nwiip.1 it w.-isi'iL'htv dollars neracre. This
is what we till business, $10,000 clear in

These divinities possess that beauty of
person and grace of manner which never
fail to command the admiration of all susceptible
bachelors, while their charming
characters and elegant accomplishments
are simply enough to make an unmarried

True Gukknvii.t.k Hotel.?During a
recent visit to Greenville wo stopped at
Speight's Hotel, and wo have sin excellent
report to make of the ^ood management
of this splendid hotel, which is kept
open for the accommodation of transient
and permanent boarders. Every comfort
possible is furnished, and the place
has a home-like appearance in every res
poet. It is near the Greenville and Columbia
Itailroad Depot, but the street
ears pass (he house every thirty minutes,
which will, for five cents, carry you to
any part ol' tliofeity. Col. Speights is as
good at hotel-keeping as he is at printing
a daily newspaper, which is saying a
great (leal.
The busiest man in Greenville is Mr.
T. CJ. Gower. He is full of energy and
has done more to build up Greenville
than any man in it. Tho street railroad
and the river bridge have recently been
j built through his influence. Jlo is nl
present President of tho street railroad,
tire insurance agent, part owner of tho
biggest carriage factory in the South, and
lias the largest stock of doors, s:ish,
blinds, &c., to be found, in tho State.
All persons wanting anvllung in his line
will save money by trading with him.
During our visit to Greenville we had
the pleasure of calling at the ofliccs of
the Evterj>risc ami Mountaineer and the
Daily Xeivs. Mr. llowell of the ATries is
about to anchor down in Abbeville, and
wo think Mr. Daily of tho Enterprise
should come down and give our young
ladies a chance at him, if he is i'i earnest
about getting married.
We are indebted to Mr. W. E. Rowland,
Superintendant of tho Greenville
City Railway for a complimentary ticket
during our recent visit. The oltieers and
managers of this road, have surprised the
public in the excellent management and
.. aI1i.i1.Ia mini iii-t of tlin ru:id. Till! citv

She will take him.
If you will have a pump put in your
