We notice iu nany of our exchanges that a
number of KOO?' citizens roitlili? in (lillerent j '
sections of the count! "s iu w liieh those papers !
are located ar contributing valnalile inior- i :
mation upon 'he natural advantages and re-j
sources of their respective eountics. v.liilep:
pi vi?n n synopsis of current events iu their
respective nclghborheods. Such co:itril>n- j(l
tions not only make the paper in?ere>tin^
and valuable, but attniet the attention of I '
capitalists, emigrants and others who may
wish to invest in manufactures' or purchase
homes and other property at the South. i?>
l'rolmbly no Connty in South Carolina pres- j
cnt-s more Invitiuu advantages to persons!,,
who wish toensi.'e in any of the m;im:iaeturinir,
mechanical or other industries thanj
the County of Abbeville. Its climate is e<|i;u-'
bio, genial and remarkably healthy, while i '
within its borders are to be fouiitl some of the p;i
llnest water powers upon this continent, on j
the Saluda there are Krwin's Shoals, near
Ilonen I'ath, Roar.illan's Shoals. near Ninety-j
Six, Mat:ox's Shoals, at Knights' IIri<lg??. ?>j?posite
Iionaidsvillc, ami perhaps i>;iicr v<
shoals; on the Savannah there i> oiic him-in;:
tired and sixty feet of fall in seven miles of ta
l.ambert's Shoals, the property of Colom-l J. of
K. Calhoun. Resides, those immense water in
powers 011 Inexhaustible streams, 1 .ong Cane, j f ;
Idttle River, Rocky River. Turkey Creek, nr,
Hox Skin, Curltail, Hard Labor, and other , ni
streams furnish more water power than iie
would drive all the innehinery of New Kinr- jail
land. Prominent ttniong the valuable pow-? ,
en off the great rivers we would mention, j..
those at Calhoun's .Mills; Cade's Mills; Me- , ,
Kettrick's Mills; l'ratt's Mills; Panics,,
LowndesviUc Mills; the Milt**at Wnrrenton;
Spear's Shoals where there is a fall of flfly
feet on a large stream ; and about a hundred :'.j
other places where untold v.ilumes of water
run idly by every day. They are little appre-, ,V
cinted now, but they will in future years:'
prove to t>e a source of greater wealth than (
the cold mines of California. j m
All theseadvantajjes, If properly ventilated v<
would soon attract men of enterprise and ti<
capita) who would utilize them and make 1
them contribute lininenscly to the wealth !
and ereneral prosperity of the county. j to
Our water power howevei' ' only a small. w<
portion of our material wealth. < >ur farming to
lands are excellent, but owing to the chaotic i
state of existence here they have almost nol,..,
marketable value. Lands here sell for one or ; tn
two dollars an acre which will brim; crops of i);i
as much money value, as do the high priced |(>d
lands of the New Kngland States ,,f
that sell for a hundred times ns uiucVnN
as our lands. Our climate is better than <>n
theirs. If the Union Times sees anything)
strange about this notice, let him hold It is
tongue. j a,,

nt Reply to "A Citizen."
" Editors Press mid Jt.umcr:
I proposeloanswer thc<iuostionspropouml- *?
!r, 0(1 by Mr. "A Citizen," in your last issue.
in In the first,?lie wishes to know if "we poor o
people of Abbeville village are never to be *
t delivered from trouble in connection with
1 our schools?" My answer is never! This Is f
a chronic ense of trouble. AVc had as well
be possessed of Seven ICvil spirits as to have ]
tbiseaseof trouble; however lie lias it,and it 0j*
in would have been better to have kept it to
himself. \at
All that ho has to say about frond enough. Ass
* j bad enough, small enough, large enough, sail
jdear enough, cheap enough tiraded School s
'e j may be true though itseemsa little paradox- j)f>.
I ical, and certainly has not, will not.and can- ,
st! not deliver him of bis besetting troubles, as sll:1
there are other schools that suit some people aj^o
just as well. she
In his next. In; wishes to know. If It can be moi
true that a movement is on foot to withdraw],
l' a sutlh-ieiit number of pupils from Um Urad- .
I ed school to set up another school in this.the
n | town. There is no such movement on foot,! N
eient inun!>cr <>i' free white children in aud|?.K
( near town that art' not pupils of ih<? <-irsnlt.-il j (
School to keep tip another school which was!,?,
sot up before the Graded School wis thought ',c <
of, ami from which I here seems to bean ellbrt! rcci
to draw pupils to tin- Graded School; but it oft
'* lias stood and will stand on its own uteri's ...
11 and riocs not and will not ask any pupils '
*"! from the Graded School nud is free from fears ;',r
,p j on that score. iioi
e In tiie third,he wishosto know if wo have sail
J- anions our citizens persons so wanting in ^
V common sense as to think of establishing :
[" another school. Certainly not. but we have 1,1
j jivople aryonj; us who will send to whatever an3
e school they deem best, they aUvayg ilid xnd otli
ulways will, and I think Mr. "A Citizen" will nii;
>f lie relieved of one urrat trouble when he can ? i
it force thorn to do otherwise.
i- lie answers his fourth himself, that is, the )J1 1
d Graded School is not too ?tnall, which 1 hope im]
y will cure another trouble, lie Says ] ain told in I
a that an effort is made to take pupils from the y
il Graded School. The person so telling must
o be mistaken. 1 "s
In his tifih he asks if it is t<io expensive, dir
r. and answers no, it Is the cheapest school ever lilt'
established in Abbeville. I hen to correct <,f ;
r. hiiu there, as the so-called opposition school
ie w;*k tausht last year, free of ;anion fees to
the pupils, and the Graded docs exact a small a,u
fee at the end of each month. nnj
2 In his sixth, hoasks if it. Is too cheap, and fen
? uives theriidit answer himself?no ones lhat a,p
1 have heard of wishes it hiulier. ' '
In hisseventh he wishes to know If there ,
y is any fault tolind with the teachers. There 1011
is none. They are nood enough, yet there are am
others as sroud have never heard a word tv (
'* u^ainst them or their religion. Doubtless his
, children are proirresslnj; well. Most lathers'
" children devoid In that particular Inherit J.
' from the father.
There arc proliably some people sending as 1
II that do not pay their tuition. Me should not j2io
il object to tlieir sending boniM where else and ....'j1
II stop their p'timhlitiK. ".,
In his seventh he wishes to know what can fj
t_ be the purpose of jjettln-; up the opposition wil
school. No one is Kettin^ up a school?those of
e* that send to another school for the same pur- (].|j
iKixe that tie sends to the Graded School, I. e., ,.
because it is the best, cheapest, and nearest .
> to them. ??'
' j Id iii* eighth he strikes bottom fsiets In tioi
(loop water, He wishes to know if they wish tioi
to net a share of the public school fumiall to jn,,
i, themselves. This is the thorn in the flesh,
i- lie fears they want their share of the funds m<|
n ami he wishes the whole hog for himself. ^
His]>oliitson this great, question are pro- <>w
nf fonmlly deep?"Let no funds he wasted in j()?
jr that way"?apply the whole to his progress
" sive pupils, This is the Alchemic stone stor- .
eil deep in the profundity of his financial t'l>0
' philosophy. Lycurgus nor Solon in the palm- U|k
test days never dpiaMod these decrees of his fd
to the Trustees and Hoard of Examiners.? i]lt,
Happy soul he never crumbles, and always ^
r pays, hut lie does not. want the funds wasted
and in his splcrgfti!; around to prevent il has *'''s
mixed the (traileil, tiienpposllion. the public lie i
and private schools in such a manner I would (.(J|
advise hiinto have the pupils of his school /?. .

In the value of the examination
ip?rs uk compared wlih those.of last year an
nprovemeht of 'S> per e??t in th? papers of
le white candidates and HI to /SO per cent in
iw papers of the colored candidate*, four
hile candidates made nearly perfect papers,
nd a colored candidate allalned the high
L-r ceut.i^e of iv!on tlie fli'kl ;;iude questions,
The while candidates generally show a aejrate
knowledge of ajilUinelio and English
ram mar. but not equally proficient iu lilsto,
und geography, Jt is curious to observe
i niiiny papers iuis strange auomait
a iuo.>>t accurate leohuioal kowledge ol' the

Uilti ibe candidates neoiu unablw to apply,
ii'ir knowledge to practice- and are mark*;,

c,
Aa to iho colornd candidates, they arc
liiurty deficient in Arithmetic nnugeography,
inle moderately advanced in Knglixh grainier
a?i< history. Thair mai ks in arithmetic
re very low, iu grammar they are high, allough
tnoy seem less able than the white
mdidiite* U> reduce thair tnowledge to

Altogether the examination was highly salfactory
to the Kxaminers, liie papeis handi
