The Press and Banner By HUGH WILSON & W.C.BENE1 Wednesday, Aug. 20, 1879 The Greenville nnd Columbia I???I road, and the City of Greenville. Tho management of tlio Greenvill and Columbia Railroad has deprived tn people along its route of the principal ad vantages which we should derive in eon sequence of our proximity to the rrea Air Line Railway running from Xev Orleans to New York. All of our corn flour, and bacon comes to us from tli Northwest by way of Atlanta, but nw in? to tho combination of the South Car olina Railroad with the Greenville am Columbia Railroad and also of tho Soutl Carolina Railroad with the Georgia Rail road, these freights aro'forced to eotne t< us by way of Augusta, Rranclivillc am Columbia, making a circuit of govern hundred miles out of tho way instenc of coming directly to Seneca City o Greenville by way of the Air Line Rail road and thence to Abbeville. In orde to force the people of Abbeville to pa; tribute to the South Carolina Railroai and the Georgia Railroad the Greenvilli and Columbia Railroad has been chargin; double price for hauling tho necessarie of life from Greenville that they did lb: bringing them from Columbia. Undei General Conner's management, however wo are pleased to note that the price! have been made equal as between Green ville and Columbia. There is another discrimination agains our people to which we would allude, am that is in the Greenvillo and Columbia Railroad refusing to take freight from tin Air Lino Railroad at Seneca City?th< point at which the roads cross each other From Seneca City to Pendleton is perhaps ten miles, and it is some twelve or thirteen miles further to Anderson. Th< Greenville and Columbia Railroad refuses to receive freight from the Air Lint Railroad at Seneca, but forces that road tc carry it to Greenville where it seems the} are perfectly willing to take it. It would be hard for the Greenville and Columbi: Railroad to convince the public that theii rofusal to take goods at Seneca City is lbi any other reason than to extort from then ?n cxhorbitant freight bill, while causing unnecessary delay in its transportatior orvs- the road by BClton. We learn thai the public are still subjected to this outrage but we are confident that General Connor will correct this evil as soon as i! is called to his attention that the fact exists. Another great cause of com plain! which wo think the up-country lias is in the schedules on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad and the consistent high tariff charged for travel. Greenville isnaturally the market foi all that section of country 1 vine above Newberry, and vet the authorities discriminate against that city every time. For these and many other reasons we think a change in the ownership of the lload should take place when that property comes to sale. Although we are almost within the sound of the locomotive's whistle, on the Air Lino Railway, tho Greenville and Columbia Ilailroad, it seems to us, is endeavoring to force us to go to Columbia, thus spending several dollars extra and losing a day, instead of taking us promptly to Greenville where we may get on the direct road to New York. For instance, if a'citizen of Abbeville desires to go to New York he is compelled to leave home at half-past eight o'clock to lie over seven hours at Hodges or trudge all the wa^to Columbia and go one hundred miles out of the way. Now wo shall show how the liailroacl loses by this petty contrariness or lack of accommodation in running the doublo daily train to Hodges. Ho generally hires a vchieleand goes to Hodges, eleven miles, and save sixty cents of Railroad fare or else ho goos to Donaldsvillc and saves one dollar of Railroad fare. Not long since wo were going up the road ami live or six passengers from Abbeville got on the cars at Don-aldsvillo. They had hired a vehicle at less than their fare would have been, and lett home at two o'clock instead of eight o'clock as they would have been obliged to do, if they had left 011 the cars. The want of liberality on the part of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad has driyen all the load travel olf the road. It used to be that nearly everybody caine to Abbeville on the ears. Dut it isn't once a month that one of our citizens rides on the road. They can't afford the high prices charged, and the waste oi time involved. Columbia and Charleston are off the main line to any point North, while Greenville is on the direct line. Greenville is not only at our doors but it is a .growing commercial and manufacturing town; and if the citizens of that place and the authorities of the Air Line Railroad will act conjointly and wisely they can give the Mountain City a new impetus by controlling the Greenville and Columbia Railroad in their own interests no less than in the interests of the pecple of the up-country who desire to trade at Greenville, or who wish to pass through the town in going North, East or West, i ,, Naturally our people would trade in Greenville, but now they have no chance or encouragement to do so from the fact of the unfriendliness of the Railroad. The astonishing thing to us is that a city of enterprising people ' who subscribed immense sums to build the Air Line Railroad will rest quietly aud allow a road, fully as important to its prosperity, to be run within its very gates, and controlled by a management which is inimical to its bast interests. The people of Greenvill^ or the Air Line Railroad, or both together, should buy the road when it comes to sale, and change the management or controlling office from Columbia to that town. Then and not until then will a system of passenger aud freight schedules be adopted which will suit persons in this section desiring to do business in Greenville. This will not onlv build ud the citv. but atthesametimeincrea.se the whole of the business of the road above Newberry -nine-tenths of which would go to Greenville with proper Railroad facilities. The business below Newberry would not be sufficient to pay the running expenses of the cars along tho barren waste which lies below Newberry and above Columbia. We can no to Now York for about the same expense in money and time that it costs to go to Charlestoc. If we had proper railroad schedules and charges to Greenvillo much of car trade would stop at that place. Be t as it is we are virtually cut otf from that town. Let the general management of the road be changed from Columbia to Greenville, where it justly belongs. Let freight and passenger schedules be adopted which will suit the Air Line Railroad and accommodate persons desiring to visit tho city on pleasure or business. With this desirable arrangement eG'ccted, if tho town doesn't grow, and the people become l>ettcr satisfied and more prosporous, wo are no judtfo of what wo are talking about. Mrs. Sartoris (Nellie Grant) Not Dead A London telegram dated 17th inst. informed this country that Mrs. Sartoris, the daughter of General Grant, had died suddenly on the 16th in England. The Northern papers had just published notlcns of rmirirtlf>nf?A wlwm nnnJtinr flo kpatch came by cable saying it was a mistake?it was her mother-in-law.

The meeting was call ,, ed for the purpose of concerting mean lures looking to tho niueh-needed im . provement of the Long Cane Graveyard i 'rim vou^iiitiiMis n:i?iv;nii urn well-advisei and must commend themselves to al 0 who are interested in the historical grave e yird. The Trustees of Long Can - Church are co-operating with our citi - zens in this laudable work. This is ; t hopeful sign and promises well for th v j success of the efforts now to be put forth . | It is not necessary for us to des b cj again the present condition of Long Can * I Churchyard. A short time ago we callei the attention of our reader to this matte ' and strongly urged immediate action 01 1 j part both of country and town, to pu "j the graveyard in good order. To say tin 11 lc;*st its present state reflects no credit oi 1; the community whoso dead lie buricc ' j chore. That community is a numerou I' one in town and country, and by well dir i rected ctlbrt great and permanent irn I provemcnt in the graveyard can bo of r j fectcd at small expense to those interest ' j ed. We notice that a day has been ap1 pointed, the 27th inst., for cleaning oui e the graveyard. That is a very necessary ?j but only initiatory step. And we ar< s: clad to observe that a committee of live r representative men has been elected t< r carry tlie work farther,?to consider tin , propriety of extending the area of tin churchyard, of building a new fence, ant ol" arranging to keep the churchyard per j manently in good order. All these throt ' j measures are of great importance. Th< ' 1 last especially will demand the consido 1 j ration of tdu committee and of the peo ; j pie generally. The Trustees of Lonj ! Cano Church, we are sure, will shov themselves liberal in helping forwart ' this desired improvement. Indeed \v< "; understand they have signified their in 'J tention to allow a portion of the churcl j lands to be used as a building lot ant :j small larm for the residence of a regulai '| sexton. With this help, small annua 'j expense would bo necessary to sccur< ' the services of a competent sexton ; bj 1! such service alone, wo believe can tin "| graveyard be kept in good order. W< '! hope to heas a good report from the com1 j initteo when the proposed general meet> ing is called. Newspapers. I On our outside wo commence the pub t lication of an Essay read before tho Ab^ beville Literary Society, by Hugh Wil I son, Esq., Editor of the Piccss and Ban ;! ncr, on the subject of Newspapers. As ' i news papers are now so much read ant I are of such great influence in political j social, commercial, literary and religious II circles, it will repay a careful perusal.? .j Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer j An essay of this kind, written hurried. ly, will of course be more noted l'oi I what it does not say than for anything I which it may contain. Mr. Wilson i omitted, among other things, to say thai , in 1S54, Mr. Sellcck published tho Abbej ville Banner tri-weeklv. In alluding tc , j tho Greenville newspaper he should have ! mentioned tho Greenville News, which I was started by Colonel A. M. Speights, ! in 1875, being tho first daily newspapet ! ever published in upper South Carolina, | It was the first paper in tho State to advocate the adoption of a straight-out ! fight with the Radicals in 1S7G, and was 'distinguished for the vigor and fearless I snirit with which that naner nresented i these views, as well as 1'or tho unceasing ; war it made on corruption every where, i That paper did much in encouraging the I building of the beautiful Mountain Citj', which is a pride to tho State. The peo! pie should give the Greenville News ? | hearty support. It speaks for tho busii ness and prosperity of tho city. j McCormick's Contribution to the Railroad. We learn that Mr. Chas. A. McCormick the owner of tho l)orn Gold Mine, hat sent through his attorney, Colonel J. S, Cotluan, his check to General Bradlo> for two thousand dollars to bo applied tc tho grading of tho Augusta and Greenwood Railroad. This action of a shrewd business man, living beyond our borders j we think affords an example worthy o, jail imitation by our own people, j General Bradley informs us that j the Kail road authorities have more j money now, than they had at tho begin i ning 01 mo worn, ana mat mere is now no doubt as to tho finishing of this Koac to Augusta. There are now only sixteei: mil A to grade. The work on the stone piers for the bridge at Walton's Island has been commenced, and two of tlu ! piers are finished. With sixty hands the j company hopes to have tho piers com| pleted in a short time. They will put uf I a superb iron bridge across the Savannah. Discussing: tho Stock Law. ' There is a good deal of foolish twaddle j indulged by opponents of the stock law i in other counties in reference to "pooi widows' cows." The stock law in Abbe! ville county is moro beneficial to the i "poor widow" than to any other class, ; As a rulei they have been unable to kceji , up good fences, and tho result has been, : their neighbors cattle destroyed their I crons overv vear. Tho ODDOiients of the I ? * - ----stock law give tho best reason for adopting it in speaking of the "widow's cows*" The stock law is based on equity. No man should be allowed to go into the stock business without having land Upon { which to pasture Ihein. Reduced down to a line point, it would be that the opposition to the stock law consists in a desire to pasture your cattle on another man's hill?even if it should be planted in corn, wheat or oats. ?

[t Pursuant to the call of the President, the Abbeville Agricultural Society met " in the Court Mouse, at two o'clock, Col. - J. S. Cothran, President, in the chair. The following meinhers were present: A. M. Hill, Wm, Wilson, W. I[. Purker, James McCaslatt, K. F. Parker, 1>, W. 1 Aiken, \V. J. ,Smith, II. W. Lawson, G. 1 A. Douglass,. J. \V. Perrin, T.

He thought as there was no politics to dis1 turb our people that it would bo well to r have a Fair. He then expressed the de, sire to hear from any member present. W. 11. Parker, Esq., gave a history of 1 the Society, with the particulars as to is how is got into its present financial ! troubles. The debt is about $800. The . Society is already sued, and the debt will be pressed into judgment, but said if a 14 portion of the debt is paid this Fall, the creditor will no doubt bo willing to wait for the balance. He closed by expressing the hope that we may have a Fair " this Fall. 1* IXT AM ,.r ill V.U1* if. j\ i urn ^iivw niatun vu mv, . debt. It was originally $2,800. It was , reduced to $1,200. Aflerwards it was still further reduced; to SU00. On the latter r amount there is four years' interest rit ten per cent., making the debt at present about?850. Ho thought we might pay the debt by taking up a subscription. A Fair will not bring the money. The people haven't pot the money to go to the Fair. They have got no corn, and if frost comes by ho loth of October they will make no cotton, lie suggested that each ono present form a committeo of one to solicit contributions, Six or eight members pledged themselves to raise what they could. J~ M. Latimer, Esq., coming in after the proposition had been made, and while r tho subject was under discussion, said ' that he would givo $5, but thought we ' would make very little in that way. * W. II.

The Columbia Register on the Kail; road. ' Last Friday our contemporary after i copying our article on the ltuilroud has [ tli is" to say: Tlio above common sense view from ' our Abbeville contentporaty of a plain matter of business, strikes "us with great > force. With every dt-sire in the world to do justice to those* who have charge of ' our roads in this State, aud who must be men of practical business sense to have i j reached the positions they till, yet there . are not a few tilings in the conduct of our roads which surpass "all finding out" to a common sense man. Not only are the high rates of fare driving peoplo from crnvuiiug uii tuu iuuu, uui iiu hh.uii.'muuiable amount is sunk la cotton that hauled to market?yes, to Augusta, rather than encounter the railroad charges. ' So, then, there was not a littlo cotton 5 hauled from Newberry last winter to this . place lor Charleston. So far as the facts r go, as stated by the Press and Banner, the asking such prices is actually to rc* fuse the travel. When two men can go from Ninety-Six and return the same I night for $2, and, dinner included, ?3 by the county road, it is plain they will not ' consume on the railroad some forty hours ' and encounter rail fare and no less than $3 for food and lodging, putting it 9 to 3 from "itU." That chicken certainly won't light, and we can't see, with the i*iw and Banner's facts before us, why anybody should use the railroad for local travel at all. The same thing holus, we presume, I in all this neighborhood travel, and looks to us very much like an ell'ort on the part 1 of the road "how not do it." > The fact is staring us in the face every [ day of a speedy return to the dirt roads, and markets in handy striking distance, aud the sooner we set about making our ' public roads first-class, well kept roads the better. If our railroads cannot allord , the facilities the people require it is all the samo as if they will not, and we will | ' have to open the streams with Federal appropriations, and give up railroading in South Carolina as a "lost cause." The people can't forever allord to sustain bankrupt institutions and pay enormous . tar ill's for no earthly purpose whatever. We shall look into this matter again in a day or two. In the meantime wo press the suggestion of the Press and Bunncr . on the railroad authorities; , Struck bj Lightning. , The News and Courier gives some very consoling information in reference to our | danger of being struck by lightning. Out ol" a population of filly million, only seven have been struck in three months. From this it would appear that a man is i about ten times as apt to commit suicide ( as he is to be struck by lightning. Pic >'ic at Little Monntnin. Etlilm'x Press and Jlannrr: 1>eah Sias?It was our pood fort mi o to bo . present at an unpremeditated "t'ifc-Xic" last Thursday, which took place t't our famous i Little Mountain, better known as the Mineral Springs, which ended with thfemfist flattering results. Visitors from various parts of the county wore In attendance. We did not. go there with the expectation of going to a ''PicNic," but merely to visit our highly reputed Little Mountain, and the Springs, but to our surprise, when we arrived there, we found \fllKtihv nnrl Cane's fairest belles and beahs, accordingly. As there were not a suitable, place, to liftlulge | In a little hoof shnkiflgj we iiitd to amuse our-1 selves with seven tip. After tve had drank as much of that Invlgornting water as we could well navigate with, we took a stroll over the mountain, from (lie highest point we could , plainly see this place, and farms, fully ten miles distant, with the aid of a line telescope, which belonged to Mr. Thos. Hurst. After we had fully investigated itsscenory, we return' ed to the Springs for grub, after grub, some one proposed going to Mr. A. P. Connor's*, two miles from the Springs, to spend the remaining part of the day. After riding over considerable tough road, we arrived at Mr. Connor's beautiful home where *we were met by Mr. ' Connor in person, with the most cordial reception. After we had refreshed ourselves, wish pure cool water and nothing stronger I assure you, we assembled in the parlor, where the most entertaining part of the occasion i afl'orded itself. Such harmonious songs as | were sung by the two young ladies from Long Cane and Chiles' Cross Itoads, could have brought tears to the eyes of t lie most hardens ed hearts, the songs were as follows, viz : l. ^ Jerusalem Artichokes for Cuttle. in A member of the Soelete des Agrlcnlteurs fj dc France, residing In the department of the c# Landes, between Jiordeaux and l'au, suggests that his brother farmers .should pay more at-1 tention to the growth of Jerusalem artlchokes, for he states that on a poor soil they jc do better than potatoes, lie has found, from i exnerienee. that lie can grow eight or ten! ii- crops in succession upon the same InuU, the 1 3f crop averaging eleven tons to the acre.

And it is thus: was I have seen outside of Abbevillo as neig many as three or four prettier faces than A I of-"native and to the manor born," but, uam i (in miner's phrase) the Abbeville women on tl panned well on faces. The young ones stati forty years ago looked sweet and pretty, pusl and their Ma's ditto, when not confront- nize ed by men and boys against their taste; M and more of them "knew the meaning of resic legerdemain and could .spoil it back- Aug wards'#" (Jim Martin's test of an im- Cxi proved and cultivated women) than I istei have ever found elsewhere, in a commit- gooc nitv. They knew, without doing them- one selves the highest arts in Hour doings and one chicken fixings: and, then, the way they and got themselves up is refreshing to think ows Lack on. I venture that the battalions of Pi milliners and mantua makers now in towi lines, with the raw material from cotton er, s ilelds and sheep-backs, and dotted and ed b perforated tissue paper, fresh from Phil- ing. adclpliia, can't make the present swoet M brood look nicer than their ma's made tuot themselves and them forty years ago. of A The Abbeville women could fiance well, lect but whether she did depended more on calb Pa, Ma, and the spiritual ovcrseor than appi herself. She also sang well. She was ocea modest without hash fulness and bravo Tl without boldness. The only evidence of Cro> fear she ever exhibited was in the matter cont of cow, and the first one I ever saw at it abui was Miss Jane Davis, and from her, I be- R< lieve, it became epidemic and chronic, beei Miss Jane would come up in full sail to sncc fiffnnn font. nrnfiwolv nf flm nminVilA niliil "Suckey" chewing her cud, and stop thcj short and utter a subdued treble squeal, Oi and with her pretty little feet (as pretty as misi ever hung to a woman and which it would whi havo been a sin to have obscured by long ness dress: and Miss Jane didn't commit the Tliu sin) sho would, in killdec style, describe five as perfect an arc of a semicircle as con Id hap! be drawn with a com pass, until she reach- foot ed the air line, and then sailed on. It be- clotl camn so common on the streets that oven mos grandma's who could manage a matron and of the bovine species with as much skill | plai and safety as an ancient sailor could his! cLai craft and rudder, caught the fright and | cric dodge. The A bbevillo woman was a good size' talker, the tones of her voice in general sun conservation were mellifluent, heryes-es alio peculairly so; but her no-es came as if j lie.M from the guttural of a blue-jay. [Note.? | Spai I am only recording what the boys of the | T1 day said and what my own experience ncr' corroborated.] And when she was not cut i , more thoroughly combined with charity the tlKin I overheard of her being, there was lmvi danger (ligurately speaking) of her tak- Iv u inr a fellow's head oil", or cutting him off peri at the knees, with as little compunction ard as if ho were a ilea or a mouse, if ho va- aboi ricd or wobbled in the line. I remember tie d in 1j of Scotland and had enjoyed the chase ^u,, that cost so dear, which 1 '(in tho llesli) 0Vg, stood in the vicinity of tho Press and ?00t Banner olliee and had anything else but !^j0, enjoyed the chase. in concluding this branch of tho sub-! 'r!inf, ject, let mo say that no more lovely wo- rpj men than thoso of Abbeville forty years ago covered anywhere the same space of jon , ground;; and the little "dots" I learned s-er? from, with and among them, have been Qr(j( over and at par with any other point I have touched. pUpl Hut there were contra-indicationn and (,ot'n unfavorable svmntoniH ol'the Abbeville ...:n woman which truth requires mo to state, on"t'] and il anybody dont want to hear it, they ^ li< should stop right here and closo their noar ears. I am going to tell it. The Abbe.- lt' ville woman of old and older was as hard 'pt to catch as a crow. She was never will-! fnjjc ing to accept the first man who offered,. cr0)1 and the safest chance for a fellow was, to js watch and wait until at least two others jan(j had drawn her lire. It ?as a little risky p, to wait after the second, but it was safer than as No. lor 2. She didn't seem to }iro j understand men well, or failed to know j,'a] 1 herself; and sho never marked down "at cost" until the market had been tried atli man profit. And, then, when you got her to the devised point, it was like joining the nijjj Masons or Odd Fellows. Your petition had to Hoover to a regular meeting and bo acted on by a committee, not only of nr0 ' the immediate family, (as admissible,] KUCg I but including uncles, a*'.nts, cousins and oven special "friends," and some of them c0ju adverse and interested witnesses andju- pajj rors.

These wonderful people, al- r ough disporscd, despised, and for many r ;es persecuted in all countries where , sople loved their onemies and returned ' >od for evil, have contributed to every r ience and enriched every art.

When wo remember that God selected a . iwess for bis mother, passing by the 1 oincn of India, Egypt, Athens, and t ome as well as the grand-mother of Mr. j >rbin, it is hardly in good tasto for the orshippers of that same God to hold tho jws in scorn. ?

' How Old Is the World I Geologists, astronomtrs and physicists ike have hitherto been baffled in their .tempts to set up any satisfactory kind chronometer which will approximnte measure geological -timo, and thusgivo i some duo to the antiquity of our obe. It is theroforo worth noting that i .r. Mellard Iteade, of Liverpool, has tely contributed to the Royal Society a j ?.ry suggestive paper, in which he en- | iiivors to grapple witn uio question ny t nploying the limestone rocks of the irth*s crust as an index of geological ' me.' Limestones have been in course of < rmation from the earliest known geo- i igical periods, but it would appear that , le latter found strata aro more calcareous lan the earlier, and that there hits in fact . cen a gradually progressive increase of ilcareous matter. The very extensive 2 posit Ion of carbonate of limeover wide eas of the ocean bottom at the present ;iy is sufliciontly attested by the recent tundings of the Challenger." According i the author's estimate, the sedimentary ust of the earth is at least one mile in j /erage actual thickness, of which prob- ( jly one-tenth consists of calcareous ? mtter. In seeking the origin of this cal- ] ireous matter, it is assumed that the , rimitive rocks of thooriginal crust were f tlie nature of gigantic or basaltic rocks, y tho disintegration of such rocks, ealireous and other sedimentary deposits ive been formed. The amount of lime ilts in waters which drain districts made p of granites and basalts is found, by a >mparison of analysis, to be on an averabout 3.73 parts in 100,000 parts of aier. n is lunuer assumeu mat me exsssed areas of igneous rocks, taking an remge throughout all geological time, ill bear to the exposures of sedimentary >oks a ratio of about ono to nine. From lese and other data Mr. Roado conudes that the elimination of the calcajous mrttter now found in all the sediicntary strata must have occupied at ast 600,000,000 of years. This, therefore, jproseuts the minimum ago of the world, he author infers that the formation of 10 Laurentian, Cambrian and Silurian rata must have occupied about 200,000, 0 of years ; tho old red sandstone, tho irboniferous, and the poikilitic systems, I lother 200,000,000; and all the other rata, the remaining 200,000,000. Mr. eade is, therefore, led to beliove that jological time has been enormously in tcess of the limits urgod by certain i lysicists; that it has been ample to al- ] w for all the changes which, on the hyJthesis of evolution, have occurred in le organic world.?London [Eng.)
