The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. j Wednesday, Aug-. 27, 1879. i Send me a Paper, Maybe my Neighbors will .Subscribe. At least once ii month somebody writes to us from it distant State, very complimentary j notes on postal cards requesting us to send I, ' specimen copy of the VVcm nwl llmtwr, j when they will likely subscribe or get anum-1 berof their neighbors to do the same thing."]1 for the Information of all such we would state that we have quit, that business. We cannot send a paper without pivInn the post aire on it, and after having squandered about :, k a million of dollars on stamps for Mils pur-; |?ose, and never having received a single sub- j, scrioer In this way, we have concluded to *end n<? more sample copies of the Press and i1 Manner to these kind of friends. KHleTHimself. Wesley Harper, a recent convert, who Joined the colored Baptist church at Forkvillcj' above Donnaidsville, while putting his pistol : in readiness to start to the Tabernacle Camp i Meeting on Saturday morning last, nccident ally discharged the pistol, the ball entering j his head above the eye, passing through the ! brain'. Harper never spoke afterwards, but; tlied some six or seven hours later in the day.\ ( He was know n as "Blind Wesley." Wesley j Just a few days before he killed himself had. been shooting at Jell'. Abrams, but without j effect. The Sonny South. Mr. W. B. Seals, editor of the .9"imy fruith j was In town last week antl called at our office. I We regret our absence nt the time, and conse-;1 quent failure to meet him. His paper stands I high among the literary Journals of the coun- I " ' Penny-Reading. Tho Abbeville Penny Heading Huh will j I meet at the house of Mr. .John White <)n! Thursday evening, 2Sth inst.. at eight o'clock, j The public are invited to attend, liy order of j the President. Fine Vehici.es.?We had the pleasure ofj being shown through Mr. T. C. Seal's carriage nhop a few days auro, and of inspecting some line vehicles which have received their finish-j / lug touches. He ha* Just finished for his own ! use the finest and most stylish four-seated ve- . hlcle in the county. Mr. Seal says that he;, has sold more vehicles within the past year than any year since reconstruction, which | ^ speaks well for the prosperity of our people. [1 1^ Many years of experience has made Mr. Seal |' very "efficient in his business and he can otter j1 superior work at very low figures. Give hint I a call. ! ( This is the day which was appointed for j I the cleaning of Long Cane Churchyard. It is to be hoped that all the hands promised ] were at work this morning punctually at ser- ] en o'clock. A great deal of work has to be! done In thegraveyard, and it will take a long j. day and a strong force to do It well. If any of our people have forgotten or neglected to |' contribute money or labour, let this paragraph bo regarded by tbein as a gentle re- i inindor. i f Death fkom a rm pen.?Tt In our duty to nnnouncc that Mr. Isaac W. Dansby, has j 1 Just buried another child, which died from t fever, the physician alleging the cause of fe- j, ver to be the proximity of an aromatic pig ' pen. This is the second child which Mr. | llansby has lost within the psist two weuks. ( from the same cause. With these facts before i our people they continue to have these nui-: j sauces?pig pens, on their premises. The Keower Oourirr has a fine article on the money question. That paper seems to think j we need more money, but, friends, if green-1 backs were as plenty as oak leaves, could j v/.n toil r>nr farmers how to irct any of it?i They huy their corn and flour, and every- ] i tliing else consumed on the place. There's j1 plenty of them who do not sow turnips, oats or barley. Many of them also neglect to have a good collard patch. $200 Scholarships.?\Vc call attention to the notice published by W. C. Benet, Esq., i about two Peabody Scholarships which lie has to dispose of. They are a prize worth competing for. Young men and young ladies who wish to be teachers and desire a good education should come to the examination. L The successful competitors will be paid ?J00 a i ] p year for two years. We have received a copy of the Cnrlerxvilb^ J&prcM containing a full statement, of Mrs. I Hill's wrongs by one Slmmonds whom heri husband snot and killed, and for the deed he now stands eordenmed to be hung. We are > disposed to look In sympathy on Hill. If he ) was a rich man with Influential friends he', would no doubt be at liberty, but he's a poor I' devil and will, we presume, be hung.

This than, i would,In fact, Mr. (jrr said, be conceding al- the leu most everything to theUnited States, as sum- think* ter could not be held against a sea force, and the ex Moultrif?commands the town. His cxplana- ellectu tion of Anderson's movement is that lie lost massei Ills head over the excitemdnt of two or three necess of liis younger officers, who were not very ofuni sensible, and who had got themselves into hot of 178U water 011 shore with some of the brawling musti and silly young Sea Island bloods of Charles- check ton. As to the willingness of South Carolina of one to come Into such an arrangement of course the rJ^ lie could not speak, though he did not believe condit that Moultrie would have been occupied to- ateda day excepting to atl'ord a basis for it. I agreed dentia with him thatanything which copld proper- must< ly be done to avert an armed collision be- ernme twecn the forces of the United Suites and durini those of any SUitc, in the present troubled J Ing.

He did not wish ductir to see a Confederate States government form- of the ed, because ho regarded It?and there I agreed this w with him?assure to put now obstacles in the teresti way of the tlnal adjustment so Imperatively necessary to the well-being of all sections of the country. He thought that If the United TIioii States Govern men t wouldat once adjust the 1 Fort Sumter ullUculty, and recognize the sc- < cession of South Carolina as an accomplished r r/ fact within the purview of the Constitution, , the Independent party, as he called It. in , , South Carolina would atonce conic forward J...* and check the now growing drift toward a new Confederacy. 1 he most earnest and best j ,, heads In South < 'arolina, he said, had no wish to see the State linked too closely with the i",, great cotton-growing Gulf States, which had . . already "sucked so much of her blood."

Jiut cjrcn, when I asked him whether South Carolina, remu] in case her absolute independence could bees- think tabllshed, would not at once proceed to make J10t ^ herself a free State, and whether, wedged into tt the Gulf and the middle West as she is, she race , would not make any protective system adopt- r|ty jj ed by the rest of the country a failure, he j t could not answer in the negative. He got from, away from Hie point pretty smartly though, tenctn by asking me whether a free-trade policy j? (l n i adopted from South Carolina to the Mexican bcsoi border would not bo a harder blow at our 0f tea Whig system than a free-trade policy confln- ttVcra ed to South Carolina. I asked him whether nl0llS| Governor Pickens, who seems, from whatMr. 0(- rac 11,,,^ lu .ihcnliitnlv nothliiir trust jorr iuiu int?intiv ^ worthy in the papers about It?to have order- ,'ir'e ^ ed the occupation of Moultrlo and Fort COcllii 1Plnckney, Is really In sympathy with these- wijiC| cession movement.
