Wise Trustees.
Mr. .TamesM. I*tlmer,Jr.,of Lowndesvllle,
"was In Abbeville lust Monday. He Ik a public
spirited citizen anil one of the School
"Trustees of hi* township. In that towushlp
the trustees took Issue with the County Hoard
of Kxainlners in the regulation of the salary
to be paid to teacher*, and assumed that they
?lone had the rljjht to regulate the pay as
well as to employ teacher*, and very properly
rrfusod to be governed by the County Hoard
Jn that particular. Tbey wisely considered
the publio Interest and refused to contract
with teachers at the greatly Increased rutes
ontnMichfti hv the County Hoard of Kxamln
?ra. Tills Board of Trustees is composed or
practical men who (lid uot see the advantatre
of paying higher wa^es when the same
services could be obtained at a much less
figure, and tney employed the very 6aine
teachers they would have had even If they
had paid the rate established by the Board of
Kxainlnera. The Board directed (hut teachers
should be paid as followers: First grude,
440; Second grade, 28; Third grade. 810. Instead
of paying these Agues the trustees of
j/owndesville reduced the pay for First grade
to $30; for Second grade to &1; for Third grade
to $11 By this Judicious act they will keep
Ihe schools open In that township for a much
Confer time tnan If they had squandered the
public money in higher salaries. We heartlIr
endorse the action of the Lowndesvllle
Trustees in looking after the educational interests
of that township, aud agree with them
in not seeing the necessity of paying the name
t?aeher* this year twenty-Ave per cent, more
than ther did the year before. Everybody
can see that it Is better to keep the public
schools open five months than to pay oat the
public money lu three months.
New Railroad.
I Last Saturday we had a call from capt. \v.
K. Bradley, who Is greatly enthused on the
aublect of a new railroad to run from Trlckem
to Kasiy Station by way of Cedar Springs,
Abbeville Court House, Due West Helton and
Wllliamstou. He thinks that $50,000 will
trade the new road from Trlckem to liolton,
to be ralt?d sopiewbat as follows :
Cedar Springs,...._ 6 000
Abbeville 15 WO
I?ong Cane 6 000
Due West,....;^........ Vi Out)
At other places,... ........ 11 000
$50,000
^ This the Captain thinks couM be raised by
taxation tin three years, without bearing
heavily on anybody. Ky employing Irish
Immigrant* to do the work, we would us a
matter of course, gain a large number of settlers
who would prove to be excellent citizens.
In point of view the road would be of twofold
value. This Is a matter that deserves
thoughtful consideration. Arrangements are
being made to bold a series of public meetings
along the line, and our people should be
thinking of the matter so that when they
oome to vote on the subjcctof taxation they
may do so Intelligently. We shall be glud to
hear from any one on this subject. There Is
uothltu; ventilating a public enterprise like
this. The Captain Is well known as a public
spirited and thorough-going citizen, and one
who succeeds at nearly everything he undertakes.

The Fence Question?Appeal From ft;
Georgia Fanner.
"Washington, Ga., April 22,1S80.
Editors Prats and Banner:
A very interesting nrticle on the fence question
was recently copied from your paper Into
the (iazctic, and I write to suggest that some
of our intelligent neighbors across the river
would interest themselves sufficiently In the
atialrsol their Georgia friends to communicate
through our county paper, tlu-lr opinions
anu experiences of the actual workings
of the stock law. As a "no fence" man myself,
1 am naturally inclined to believe tlmt
the opinions of a large majority of those who
have experienced the manifold benefits of a
slock law. will be on my side of the question.
Still we will be glad to hear from both sides.I
What our people want Is Information, and J
none are so capable ol giving that as those i
who have actually made the experiment i
which we are only contemplating. (Jur conn-1
ty paper has published dozens of articles, j
short and long, sensible and nonsensical, on |
the much vexed question, but a single line of j
plain fact, from one who "knows whereof he |
speaks," will carry more weight than whole I
columns of mere argument and theory. Can ;
not some of our Carolina neighbors respond |
to tills suggestion V J5y no doing ?n:,v wmi
greatly oblige more than one.

Editors Press and Manner:
In one or two issues of your paper some1
friend hit* mentioned my name in connection i
with the Presidency of central county club. Un j
der no circumstances would it suit me to take
it. Col. Jns. S. t'othrun Is pre-eminently the I
mun for the position. If his duties should;
prevent his accepting, then I still think It i
necessary and all important, that the I'resi-1
dent. Secretary and 1st Vice-President should |
be selected from Abbeville villiijre.

tneetiiit: at Abbeville, t would take this occasion
to say that i tliink it would be unfortunate
to restrict your delegates to Columbia ,
to ?-illit-r of tlie- candidates In the field for
Governor. 'J'he matter of making a nomlna-1
tion in June is a much more serious question.
I cec nothing that we can tain by un early
nomination, except the expense, trouble and
weaiy of a long canvass, while by delay we
hate nothing to loose.

0'enllcmen of the LXnventinn: I certainly
have received what I did not expect on my "
arrival. I knew nothing oi tho l.'onvcntlon #
until I was notified by some friemls. My ]
township is not represented and I did not ex- ,.
pect to participate. Was here on business
and knew not what the Convention was for. i:
It is my privilege to take newspapers. I subscribe
to the Press und Jlunm-r and some New

be elected tothe National Convention to nom- by

Let your election be this and this alone: elect bl<
your very best incti and send tliein to vote for pa
President. NoSlierman, I urn opposed to him Xt
and all men like him; lie Is a trickster. Blaine
Is a very Intelligent man. but I fear there is a 1
little trickery In him. Carpenter accused f*
him of forging a letter, and I certainly would in
not like to vote for a man for President, who j
stands accused of ro grave a charge,as forging h
a letter. Vote for U. S. Grant the mau who ,
ought U? be there, and whom all the people
will recognize. So charges can be brought T
against him* don't keep mo too long; I am nn
with Prof. Morris on business; put your best tin
men in nomination; I do not want to be noininated
myself. =
Alfred liutIfjr?Before going into nominallons,
allow me to state this. I redeem It unnecessary
to to or send any setof men from
Abbeville Comity pledged and tied to vote for
any one; I am a friend to General Grant. Abbeville
County can't elect a President, nor 1
any five men wo may send; wc should send Ml
men to be controlled by a majority vote. The of]
Chairman has referred to forging a letter, we su
have nothing to do with that letter; if he ty
reads the papers he will see something about ^
him and every man in the Republican party. ?
Whllethe blood flows !n my veins, I ain a
friend not only to Grant but any man who is
forjustlce. Let's lay the best foundation we
can. Lctour enemies hit us with a. speerfrom
behind if they choose. I ani accused of say- y_
Ing we would carry this election If we have
to use guns. No colored man will say I did
It. Any man who can t carry an election
without guns and pistols ain't worthy to carryit.
?
The Chair?Yon must not take up the time
of the Convention in denying charges, confine
yourself to tlie delegates to be elected. {*'
Alfred Butler,continuing. My personal belief
is. that we should not confine ourselves
to any one man, but hear the sentiment of, f l
