\ The Press and Banner.1 ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, Feb. 25, 1880. The Flj in our Wheat. The following letter explains It-self, and 1 may be read with Interest and protit by our t people: DEI'AKTMKNT OF AfiKICUI.TfUE, Division of Kntomoiogy. Washington. 1>. January 23, lsso. | Hon. D. H". .4utei*, -V. C, Hume of ltepresenta- | lives. City: J)kau sir:?The insects which you left with i tme yesterday prove to he very different from I the coiuiuon Hessian fly. They belong to the j leaf-hoppers (Vicadetliiia,) and constitute aj new species of the genus Justus. Specimen* i of an all led species were received at this Uc-1 partmentsome time since from Texas, where they were reported as appearing in immense oniiiiidprsLbla damage to! wheat. j Being, a* It is, a new insect, it is somewhat j difficult to suggest a practical remedy with | the so called "thrips" of the grape, which bo- j longs to an allied genus, it has long been the I custom to destroy them by passing through I the vineyard at night with darning torches, 11 or by building tires upon different parts of the premises. Beyond a doubt your corres- ; pondent would find greater or less relief by j; trying this method of extermination. ! The appearance of this Insect in such Immense numbers Is of great interest entomo-1, logically speaking; and as the specimens!! which you handed me were in a very dilapi-i1 dated condition, additional specimens for our collection will be thankfully received. Yours very respectfully, 1 L. O. HOWARD, 11 Assistant in Kntouiology. 1 The Litcrarj Club. |{ The Club will meet on Friday next, 27th I Inst at the residence of Mr. J. D. Chalmers. The essayist forthe evening Is Mr. W. C. Ben-1 et, whose subject will be. "Americanism t?r , j English as spoken in the United States." The bare mention of the fact that Mr. Benet Is the | fusavist. is sufficient guarantee that the sub* j* Ject will be well handled, thoroughly lusiruc- live, and heartily enjoyed. ^ Moke rhot-Grs Practice.? Last Friday ' Master Charlie Lyon, white, and Jim Rose- . k tnnnd, colored, son of Citizen Roaemond, 1 B> went rabbit-hunting. About twelve o'elock ' ^ Charlie thought it necessary for him to take ( out the ramrod of his gun. with which lo 11 Klve Jim a small licking "Just for fun." Jim ; I thought to prevent this by taking hold of the I Kun. A scuttle ensued. Jlni looktd down!] the barrel at the most inopportune time?in L fnctjustas the gun wus ready to "go off." I The powder lodged In the clothing and skin of the durky, bnt the ball and wadding con- |' tlnued thelrcourse in a North-easterly dlrec- i' tlon with great energy and a commendable I fixedness of purpose, until they reached thejt opposite side of his anatomy. An impromptu , c , foot race for the house ot Dr. Lyon was at j once instituted. At first Jim d'stanced Char- j , lie, but on the home stretch Charlie gained nil {? that lie hitd lost in the early part of the race, i mid the.vcamein neck and neck, and the j fudfles were unable to decide. The affair was j1 related, when Dr. Lyon Immediately called j* Drx. Templeton, Link and McBride. As soon as the condition of the boy would admit, I f chloroform was administered, and the shot j t and wadding were removed on the opposite t from which they entered. The boy is painfully |, wounded, but is doing well. Dr. Lyon Is t kindly keeping him, and giving every needed attention. No blame Is attached to Chartic fnr the shooting. It was purely acciden tftl. ~ I Rev. H. C. Smart, Chairman of the Kxec-' utive Committee of the Abbeville Baptist Association, has prevailed on his friend Col. 1 onel Wm. H. Duncan of Barnwell, S. C., to pive a scries of lectures in this county, for the f benefit of the Baptist church at Abbeville 1 village. As it Is for a benevolent object, It appeals strongly to our sympathies, and our r citirens should turn out "en masse," and en- s courage the locturer in his good work. Be- " t?ldcs being instructed and entertained, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that f they have contributed to a worthy object, and one in every way deserving of their aid. c <>>1. Muncan has a considerable reputation as & lecturer, and all who hear him will doubt- E l*>?s be amply repaid. We do not know what will bo the scope of his lectures, * but that they will be moral, full of r information, and pleasant, we are wtire. He lectures at tho following time and places. Nlncty-Slx, night of 4th inst; Abbeville,night of 5th inst; Greenwood, night of 6th inst; Doualdsvllle, night of bill lust. We want you to read the account of a re- 1 ceut trip to Texas by.au intelligent and perfectly reliable gentleman of this County, who relates in the most graphic manner jtoiue of the beauties (?) of a homo in the the Lone Star Sta *. We have often' said that there w * no place In n the world as good as Ab?. >vtlle, and now 1 *f think we have indisputable cridcnee of the correctness of our position. The article abounds with Instructive matter, and those who are afflicted with the Texas fever should liecd the facts therein stated. t A kriend at Abbeville has Just returned j K from a trip to the neighborhood of Lowndes-1' vllle, and he reports more ground plowed on ! * the road than ever knowu at this season of \ the year. He thinks the farmers well up with j' their work, and in good spirits for the future. * " - f.., nut Hfuir I c The winter nas own ? kiw vhc ?? , work, and our farmers, not having to build fences, have put their /arms In excellent condition. The greatest quantities of small grain , aire sown In the Lowndesvllie section, and ifj w? should have only an uveruge crop we shall be well olT next Fall. Habeas CottJ*L\s.?Application for kail In ease of the Stale against Jim Sullivan charged with killing bis brother Charles Sullivan, near Donaldsvllle, on the 6th instant, was heard before Juuge McGowan on Monduv ( last. K. G. Graydon, Kutj., appeared for the i prisoner, and In the absence of the Solicitor, j f. P. Cothran, K*n., represented the State. i Hail was allowed in the turn of SftX) to appear t at the next term of the Court of General j Sessions. i k Til EtiK seems to be a great demand Just now ft /or small houses in Abbeville, and those deJ Miring to live In them seem to think it would ! be a regular bonanza for capitalists, if they j would build a few houses to rent. We notice, i however, that those who would like to live In I them are careful not to Invest uny money In ! them on their own account. "Fools build bouses, and wise men live In them," Is an old saying. We have built houses in our time. | The Washington Gazette of Inst week says:! We find the following In the Columbia Items j In the Augiuta Xcxc*, concerning the young | lady who recently charmed the society of our \1 town Miss Noble, from old Abbeville, was j11 the queen of the bull room at tho brilliantly jv fucceswful hop of the Governor's Guards, and I * *urrotinded during the entire evenlug by an '' Admiring throng of courtier*. Du. McBhide has on exhibition at his drag j j store a photograph of the whale recently cap- j tured lu Charleston har'.or. As this will be j, abouttheonly chance we country folks will |, have of seeing anything that "looks very | like a whale," our citlzensshould call and in- j *pect It. We heard one countryman ask how H deep the bole was and what kind of bait L they dug to catch him with. |, The adoption of the fence law has enabled j | our turners to Increase greatly their farming i operations. Instead of building fences all i the winter they have been sowing small i grata, and are now bringing the greatest i quantity of good land Into cultivation which ] they could not fence under the old system. I Ouk planters are guying more largely of j: guanos this year than for any season since 1 the commercial fertilizers have been In use. Our farmers are going largely In debt now, and we learn from Clerk Zeiglerthat a much larger number of liens have already been recorded than for the whole of last year. Dr. Hoge,of Richmond, Virginia, who It vrlll be remembered preached the Baccalaureate sermon at Due west la?t summer, has gone on qultcan extended tour to Europe and I the East. He lulends visiting Palestine, and! all points of interest In the Holy Laud and ! will bo absent about two years. WiOearn that those who paid taxes to the' wr- Greenwood anil Augusta Railroad under pro- : t?Rt will renew their suit for a return of their | money.

"summer hards" come on, expect to have a I < <1*6 now and then to keep the "machine" going. Mr. Patterson Wardlaw and Mr. Thomas C.

Our readers know that1 we are strictly temperate and do not encour- i *ce drinking, hut if our friends are determined to have a little whiskey, they can always j find a good article at Riley's Ranche. The Democratic party of South Carolina ; has had an abundance of good advice given i it gratuitously lately. If the party goes to! the bow-wows after being so faithfully warned of Impending dangers, the newspapers will certainly not be blanu-d. New Bell.?Mr. Jacob Miller has boughta new bell for his hotel, Our town Is now well supplied with bells. Three hotel hells and the shop bell are now nine regularly three times a day.

The old Fair house Is undergoing repairs, preparatory to It* being occupied by Dr. McBrldo. Most of our people are catching the spirit of Improvement, and painting and xhingling are now the order of the day. Continue the good work. Mr. a. j.

Round Trip Ttckets ?By advertisement of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad It I wild be seen additional accommodations in, the way of round trip tickets is now ottered; to the traveling public. There is a proposition to remove the lm-1 port tariff" on printing paper, and the materials that go Into Its manufacture. We hope that our Representatlvas will look after the matter in our Interest.

Morris pieachei o un attentive congregation a truly Christlai ermon. edifying and persuasive to all wlic icard him. The leading ideas presents vere the mercy oi God ami the plan ol *alvaion and we can say we w Isli always to heai rom preachers such sermous as appeal to tlu jod-like attributes of man's nature iusteai >f to his servile leans. Wo can alwaysjudg* >f the religion of a preacher by Ills sermons or if he be cousumtly holding up the terror! if hell lie is a mere proiessor, while if In >reach the love and mercy of God lie is a ;hrii?tlaii, and will surely keep.up a religion! pint in his hearers, We once heard a popu ur preacher oi Uio past In this town suy ii vas sometimes necessary to lake hold ol v nan and shake hlru over the Jlaines oi hel, n order to convert and savehissoul. It is rue tins begeua servile i.tr, and Solomon ays. "l'he lear of the Loiu Is the beginninf n wisdom," but does he not mean that leui vhlch a child lias lor hlsearthly parent, wlu orrects in love and whose heart bleeds at ev ry blow ? A cruel father never had a g<?x :hild, neitiier can a cruel God have a loving lUbject. God. however, is mercy, compassion oveinall hi? atllictious and dispensations ind so he should be held out.and so he wasoi: Sunday night. We hear Mr. Morris so sel lom that we can't say how often or whetliei :ver lie preaches those blood and thunder ser noiis, which disappoint anu burden the hear ;rs. The best preacher is lie who labors bj ove to keep Ills cl urcli togetucr. We in itance Spurgeon, In whose sermons only ont ti several volumes, entitled "Turn or Hum,' atn be found on the penal character of (iod iiso Dr. Baker, who revelled in his sermoni n the love of God and glories of heaven. W< icard him twice some twenty-live yca^s ago indon one occasion, after describing thegol Jen streets and beautiful anthem* of the New rernsalein, he spoke of the time ho would gt here mid how he expected to be met by hi! lead child aligel, wlih tears streaming dowi lis cheeks, he stretched his hands toward: leaven and appeared raady to take his fllgh rrom the pulpiL These great preachers labor 3d to revive the church, and tina never faili Lo convert souls. Whenever God is held up as a tyraut, rc lolclng In the tortures of the damned, lie ii belled and people are driven oir, but whei those beautiful, glorious, heavenly attribute nf His nature, love, mercy, hollnenK, are de plcted, the heart of every hearer Is rejolcei md is benetited. God is g<*>d at all times. Hi sa^s "Turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die Uli House oi Israel'." When a man is los stern Justice demands his punishment am not the pleasure of God. The way of salva lion is plain, easy and open to all, and if i man is lost it is not the Lord's pleasuie bu pian's stubbornness. ? THE STAR SERVICE SNEEZE.

Against Rotation in Office. Lexington Dispatch. Except where omissions or transgressions ( duty. Incapacity or dishonesty exist wit Incumbents, the cry ol rotation In office" ] pernicious In doctrine and silly in practle Those who assert that an office should not b filled by the same party for a longer pcrlo than one or two terms. If honest in tbel opinions, must surely lose sight of the fa< that the office la not created for the benefit < the individual incumbent, but for that of th public, and If Its Interest is subserved b retaining an efflcientand capable official 1 office then, the very object or the office ltse is fulfilled. On the othc hand the, newl elected officer Is likean apprentice nt a tradi or a fresh hand in an occupation. A though he may be a man of fine ability an good education In his new posliion he Isune: pcrlcnccd, If not awkward andslow liable t rnako mistakes which may prove embarrat Ing, If not disastrous to himself, his party th State or the country. It is only by long an constant contact with his official work, tha an oflicerlacquires that proficiency and experl nesa requisite to render him a good and sath factory servant of the people. An extendc term educates him into a patient and experl enced worker and a courteous llsUmerto th ?ubllc which he serves. f tlincund experience is necessary in makln an prrii-liTitottiper. us und ou btedly It Is, wher is the sense of supplanting him at tho cxpi ration of every term or two, Just when he ha well qualified with a new ana unexperlencei officer, who every day that he consumes ii educating and qualifying himself In thedutle of offlce Ik costing thecountry loss In xo>mc uia\ evfcry time that we replant an old officer wh< has by trulned practice and ability, sobrlet; and honesty Rained the iirtpllclt confident of the entire community, with a now man wi run the rlskofplaclnglnolTIcelncompetency if not dishonesty, subjecting the communlt: to a loss as the result. The longer the service of an offlcor the mor thoroughly Is he acquainted with and qual Ifled to perform the dutlcR of his office and si long as he proves himself industrious, honest capable and alive to tho wants and Interest of the people so long should they rccoenlzo hi work and reward him by retaining him In hi oilice. Ih this connection we wish particularly t< recognize the great services of Hon. D. Wyat Aiken," our Congressional} Representative Every one knows that he is a man of cxcop Monable ability, Industrious and earnest Ever since he has been in Washington he ha done good work both In the house and li committees. Alive to all the Interests of th< country, but especially having an eye slngli to the good of 8. (iirolina, ho has bent all hli energies una lnnuonce lovnogreomcuiuvian doctrines of c.-omony, free trade, fcdcra non?Interfereanee and generally to al legislation that lias tended to do Justice lx the South anti opposed centralization. His vote Is always od the right sldo and hi Is never absent when the ayes and nays ar called on measures of importance. Hi speeches are always practical and telling ant he has constantly grown In Influence eve since first taking his seat. When he becami a member of Congress the agricultural Inter ests of the country were so little thought o that only two members of the House wen farmers. Through hlsspeeches and work th attention of the voters throughout the coun try was fastened on this fact and now th> number of farmers in that body'Is quite re spectable. We can sufely say that no mem Otr OI l.OngrOSlf I1HK uvcr 1*1 tuimuauu) ..... consistently devoted his attention to the ad vnncementof the agricultural Interests of th whole country as Col. Aiken. He hns recent ly Introduced a bill which hns been fuvora bly reported on by the Committee of Agrlculture, iind will probably pass, raising th< Agricultural department to the lm porta no and dignity ol an cxecutlvo department, wltl a Secretary of Agriculture at Its head wh( shall be a cabinet oHIcer. Under this depart ment there Is to be u Veterinary Dlvlilon to the investigation of thecauses and treatmen of diseases among nnimals ; also a Dlvlsloi of Kutotnology to invuselgate tho habits c destructive Insects and their ravages upoi the crops. The Department will also submi to Congress the Agricultural statistics of th I'nltedStjites, Including those relating to In Imr and the prices paid therefor, to trunspor tat ion and freight on agricultural product) livestock and manufactured articles and t the number and location of mamifncloriei with their sources of raw material utid thel markets. Our farmers may well ask, where will w find another Representative who will thus d( vote his tlUie and talents to our Interests ? Passage of the Blue Ridgre Bill?Th Premiums for a Prompt Corapletlo of the Road. Xeu't and Courier. Tho Act. to facilitate the completion of th Blue ltldgc Railroad has now passed bot houses of the General Assembly, and need only the approval of tho Governor, which i will certainly receive. The first section of the bill provides thu tho Counties of Anderson and Oconeo an the towns therein, arc empowered to stit scribe such sums, payable In county or tow bonds, at par value to the owners of sal I tn ovn/.eri flvn nor ofMit. nf th uuFCxseil value of the taxafdo property ( such county,city, or town. TheCounty Corr mistloiiers are required when petitioned b five hundred real estate owners to submf the question to the qualified voters.
