r The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, Oct. 29,1879. Literarj Club?"Up-Conntry and LowCouutry." The October meeting of the Abbeville Literary Club was held ou Friday evening, 24tli Inst. at tlie house of CoL .1. T. llobertsou. There was a numerous attendance of members. Geu. S. Mctiowan, president of the Club, occupied the chair. Among the iuvlted guests was Addison K. Posey, Esq., of Green- , ville, Alabama, iormerly of Abbeville, and > well-known to the readers of the IVma/tct , Mannrras "Kx-Abbevillian." lie wtis unanimously elected an honorary member of tbe "" ' ?t-t-t. .AtM?liitianf lit. irru^L-fullv ao-!! VIUU, HUH? VUU>pi.iuv~. ? __ Jcnowledged. i Tne essayist for the evening was Mr. H. T. i ^ Ward law whose sutyoct was "Cp-Country und J jA>w-Country." On this interesting subject he read an admirable paper. Treating it first ( historically ttie essayist reviewed the original *ettiemen.u of the two sections,?the lowcountry with its colonics of cavaliers; Kngllsh I iipiscopallans,?the up-country with its colo- ' lues a cen Ui ry later of Scotch-Irish 1'res by to | riaun,?a wkIc belt of Indian country com- 1 pletely separating the two settlements. The fact tbat for a long time the preponderance of s wealth, culture and refinement was on the i tide of the people of the low-country, natu- l urally produced a feeling if not ol antago- l nisin oertiUnly not of sympathy between the sections. I Towards the close of the last century the t unfriendly feeling was strong and pro- j nounced, so mucli so tbat the founders of tbe j .South Carolina College expressed in the preamble of the bill chartering the College their hope that the College would be the means of f healing the differences and obliterating the f sectloual lines. The essayist said that the College had done so, hiid brought the young 3 men of the two sections together with the happy result of mutual respect und friend- * *hip. Mr. Wardlirw sale't nat the abolition of J the old "Parish System" and the more equal s distribution of wealth had also largely contributed to the establishment of kinder rela- y tlons. j He strongly asserted that now there was no i .... it?/nn,i r^nw-iiountrv ffUCU tillU? U-o uirwuiiw,, ..... ? smtagonlsm: that it had existence only in . the cunning heads of self-seeking detnago- 1 gogues who raised the ghost of dead prejudices Jor their own low ends. The good and intelli-1 \ >.ent men ot the whole State knew this and I ncted upon it; only the professional politi- " clans, to whom ihe fostering of sectional Jealousies is profitable, ever spoke of Up Country j ?ind Low-Country antagonism. H At the close of Mr. \\ ardlaw's excellent es- ( pay a lively discussion on its subject was taken part in by mostor the gentlemen present. All sgreed with the essayist in his views. r \fter the usual refreshments the Club ad- 8 Journed to meet next month at the house of c MaJ. A. H. Wardlaw. The next essayist is Mr. T. P.Cothran, subject "Property t?ualift- e . cation in the Franchise." Mr. W. C. McUow- o an is his alternate. t "Pinafore" in Abbeville. a "Pinafore" has struck us. We thought Ab- * bcville was quarantined, but no, the Fifth Av- ^ enue Company found us out and herctliey are playing "Pinafore." And Hrst-class playing e H is, the singing and the acting both exceed- v inglygood. They have had crowded houses M-hlch we hope will Induce them and other t< Kood troupes to visit our inn-forsaken place g Jrequently. Wearedellghtedtoscethem and hear them, now they are here, but, oh! how tired we shall all be for the next six months of "I'm little Buttercup," and the "Ituler of '> iheQueeu's Navee,"and "His sisters and his 1 'cousins and his aunts." Already our devil answers us with a "Hardly ever," ar.d the v "Merrj Maiden and the Tar" are floating me- tl lodlouslv around the public square. The world has long been crazy ou "I'iuafore;" Abbeville alone had escaped the contagion. * Her time turn come. "\es. I know, that is jp RU. It's an 111 wind that blows nobody any Rood, c and thecomtngof "Plnaiore" will supply our d lawyers and other public speakers with some new epithets, epigrams and illustrations. 0 Kor this "the rabbit In the wood-pile" will be truly thankful. Poor Molly Cotton Tail ! she has done service as an illustration at the liar and on the .Stamp here "from the fur back" until now there Is no fur on her buek. The F *i|Ulrrel in the hollow tree and the rat in the hole too have grown gray in the service anil q their talis have hung out so long they now .afford no proof of a squirrel or a rut being In- . ide. The coon-dog too will perhaps be re- 1 t ired from service. In place of these old familiar tales, Buttercup's babies might be aptly used, and a splendid political hit could .be made with the words of Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., * 1 always votod at my party's call Ami never thought of thinking for myself at r all." High Water. Tho Savannah Itlver was v .. high last week, and for several days It was impossible d to cross. Some damage was sustained by the agricultural Interests in this section. The t A ugutta Chronicle and Constitutionalist says : ,\ "Now that the high river Is going down, and n the back water over the lowlands Is receding, ^ *ome idea may bo had of damages to the crops g below the city. We learn from gentlemen u who had floe corn fields on the river that the 0 grain was completely covered, and has been" ^ seriously damaged by the sudden and signal overflow. The damage to one field above is <. estimated at Irom SI JOO to ?1,500, while sever- s'| ?1 other planters count up losses of SjOO." Xarember the Thirteenth.

BURKH ALTER, M. D. S. G. MERRI WETHER, M. D. j61 Difference in the Relative Cost of Rail ? road and River Transportation. To illustrate the difference between the relit atlve cost of railroad and river transportation I will mention an instance which came under is my own personal observation while at Cln< cinnati a few years ago. A steamer with her barges ladened with coal from Pittsburg was h passlngdown the Ohio river, bound to New Orleans, distant, from Pittsburg about 2,000 miles. The cargo consisted of 336,000 bushels, weighing 13,440 tons. This coal was being transported to New Orleans at five cents per a hundred pounds. At this very moderate rate the down trip would bring to the boat and il barges 313,440?considered by the owners a rei inunerutlve trip. Now, such an amount of freight carried by rail would have demanded ,f a force of fifty trains, or 1,344 cars, carrying tentonsench. At 8200 a oar. this cargoof coal transported 2,000 miles, would have amounted <? to $2ti8,000t making a difference of more than a quarter of a million of dollars on the transid portation of a cargo of one cheap steamboat and her barges. f. Professor Maury, of the United States Signal Bureau. stated a few days ago that coal was shipped down the Ohio and Mississippi s" rivers to New Orleans and sent thence by sea to Now York, where It was sold, after having ! been carried fully lour thousand miles by wns j ter, in successful competition with the same ' character of coal, carried less than one-tenth that distance by rail, Let any one trace the two journeys upon the map. and he will see [ the slgnlfleanceof thefaet to which I have ro.] ! ferred.?2'.

Hegiv< a glowing account of the meeting and its ii cldents. The enthusiasm with which ll representatives of the old thirteen Stat( were greeted was Immense, and the occaslo which had brought them together was ri garded 011 all sides as a most auspicious an inspiring one. The fact of sitting In the ver same halls, beneath the same roof, where tli fathers of the republic sat and shaped ltsde tiny a century ago, must indeed have Dee Impressive. Governor Simpson says thf there was a unanimous expression, both froi public men and from individuals, of a moi gratifying sentiment of good will and frate nidation towards the Southern states, and hi opinion Is that the people where lie has bee ! do not desire any sacrifice of dignity on th part of the people of the South.
