Ihe Press and Banner. Bj Hogh Wilson and H. T. TFardlaw, Wednesday, May 5, 1880. An Exploded Air Castle. Last week Hevcr.il Northern gentlomer arrived in town, hired a buggy and weni prospecting in the South-western portioi of the countj*. The air was soon full o rumors to the effect that they were larg* capitalists looking for real estate in ai immense body, say from eight thousam to ten thousand acres. Of course any l>odv hut an idiot knows that no sucl tract of land can bo bought in any ol< nettled and long civilized country, sucl as this is. In some neighborhoods, how ever, the planters began to build air oas ties, and dream of gentlemen coining thu way with the greatest quantity of monej to squander in our lands. In one or mon Motions it was thought by sonie of th< land-owner* that a whole neighborhooc might sell themselves out of their com fortable homes to these gentlemen at i handsome profit. . 4 As other strangers have done, these gentlemen went to the Flat TTood's, when there is but little to sell, and where th< larger part of the lands is of but littli worth. Wo welcome strangers to oui community and will bo ?lad to sec thous ands of them come but wherever any sc of men with a great flourish of trumpets proposed to buy eight thousand or tej thousand acres in one body, our peoph need not become excited. No man with money is going to do so foolish a thing as to undertake to depopulate a whole town ship. J If these gentlemen really wish t< buy our lands, they should conic at 1 time when property is being sold by th< officers, and durieg the season of the yeai when planters have not made their arrangements for the production of anothei ill. crop. ITHClIUttl uieu wnn mum;, ? ? may want to buy land, will not want b< much in ono tract. Smaller tracts ar< more desirable and especially is this true when they are sand-wiched by tlx farms and dwellings of our own people. The Primary Elections. The approaching election should setou: people to thiuking as to the best iuanne: of conducting tho campaign, and in per fecting and adopting the fairest plan o nominating candidates. It is pretty gen erallv conceded that the primary plan i: the best and most satisfactory, and as Burning that this to be the true policy, w< think that we should adopt the plan no only in namo, hut in fact. The priman elections are intended to give the trudex pressiou of public sentiment, but kov can this be done if we pursue the old plai of nominations by clubs ? In our opin ion tho plan of club nominations shouk be discontinued. Let tho County CluI order an election in sufficient to hold an other election if necessary to find a choice Let every freeman go before the people a these primaries and test his strength. Th< more candidates, the better for the poo pie. Under the old system no man wai allowed to be voted for by the people, un less his own club had first elected him Is thereany fairness in this? We believ< not. We believe it unfair, alike to th< citizen and to the candidate. The ole plan wan objectionable because it prevent ed a free citizen from becoming a candi date. It was unfair in that the rule pre scribed that the masses should vote onlj for a choscn few, while it may have pre vented them from voting for their owr choice. It was unfair in that candidates from the large boxes were allowed th< privilege of trading with other large boxes, and thus giving candidates living it the strong boxes tho means of combining or oxchauging votos to tho olection o themselves and to the defeat of candidate: living in less populous sections. We saj let every man come before the nrimariei on his own merits, and let the people vot< for whom they may prefer. The Meeting on Sale Day. In pursuance of the call of the Chair man the Abbeville Democratic Club mci In the Court House at 10 o'clock. W< publish elsewhere a full account of tb? deliberations of that body. The letter of resignation of Judge Mc> Gowan from the Chairmanship of th< club was road by Vice-President King and the manner in which it was received afforded the besteviden. e of the high ap prcciation in which tho retiring office] was held by the club. Colonel James S. Cothran who organi ted the club for victory in 1876, was re> called to the Presidency of the club amic the greatest enthusiasm, and with pcrfec! unanimity of sentiment. A new local club from Due West town snip with Dr. John A. Robinson as Pres> ident, Bent forward delegates, whose names were enrolled. The Treasurer of tho County Clut made a full and explicit statement of hi; roceipts and disbursements, which wil be found interesting. In it some foot for thought may be found. The votes for delegates will be an in teresting study for those who think the} know or can predict everything in refer ence to the choice of the people. The utmost harmony and greatest en thusiasm was apparent. The meetinj was largely attended, Every Club in th( County had delegates present, and th< whole of the auditorium was tilled wit! spectators during tho entire deliberations of the Club. A better meeting was nevei held in the Court House, and tho unitj feeling and the determination to succeed must have beeu dispiriting to the feu Radicaleswho sat looking on, doubtlest hoping to see a breach, Our people an united, and a united pooplo are invinci ble. Chill and FeTcr at Laurens. From the LaureiuvilleHerald, we learr tliat the resident* of that town are suffer ing from chill and fever. The JferaU advocates the ditching of the low-laudi in that section as a remedy. Forty yean ago Abbeville was similarly afflicted, anc was relieved by ditching. Later, eay fiv< years ago Fort Pickensand the lower par of Abbeville village were again aftlictet with chills. The town council agaii ditched the creek, and chills have been al most unknown since then. We have often urged our friends a Ninety-Six to clear the obstructions fron the streams in that section, and if neces nary to dig some drain ditches. Enougl of this kind of work will in our opinion prerent fever. No place is naturally sick ly. If our people suffer from disease, i is from some cause. Remove the causc and the effect will bo removed. ^ m ?? Brother Brown and the Gander Pull ing. W ntllllT wuiut- juttuwio uu uamui Island, S. or some members of a "dun clng elul}," or some members of th "Haskell Rifles," deserve the honor <: getting up a "gander-pulling" on Jaino Island, seems a little difficult to settle.Christian Neighbor.

Since the election of delegates to the' j State convention, more hits been said as 'to their political caste than before the I? meeting of the Couuty Club. We believe; that it is now claimed by the Gary lac-1 tion that they have four of the six dele-, pates. We are not positive as to the posi-1 tion of any except General Hemphill who; i is pronounced in his views and prefrence j t for Gary. Owing to the complicated sit- j i nation of affairs between the respective! f | friends of Hagood and Gary, it is believed ; ? that Colonel Cothran and Senator Max- j 11 well would vote for any third man whoj^f 1! might beaeeej table to both parlies. We} - have heard conflicting statements as tojan I the views of Mr. Wideman. Some con-j II tend that he would vote for Gary, whileith i otliers set him down as favoring any third j w -I man, as a compromise. The position of.?'' -j Mr. McGhee is also unknown. It is ru-j 11. s I mored that Ninety-Six, Greenwood, Ab- 'c ,* j boville, and perhaps other precincts voted I ^ ?| for him in the Convention believing him ! ; to l'avor either Hngooc1 or.some third man, I i Others are of the opinion that hejwill . | to support Gary. It is believed at jj*| i Abbeville, that Mr. Hood will also sup! port Gary, though we think this quite R' J unlikely as his club, Due West, isiA > known to prefer another candidate. | j? 3 j As far as we are able to learn the senti-1 ii jjnient of Abbeville, the people prefer a i . third man, for Governor for the reason j "j . that they believe it ;for the good of the t party. d' ? ? H , Hnrmony in Edgefield. ? Last night's News and Courier brings A 11 the gratifying intelligence that General 1* t Gary has poured oil on the troubled wa- ^ . I ters of Edgefield, and there is now unity! j, >' and harmony where only a few days ago i! there was the evidences of discord, and a ^ . I tkmoianod rliviviinn of the Democratic >! r party was imminent. General Gary's patriotism, indomitable! D r will, high ambition, and preat personal ]le > magnetism mark him out as a leader of] ) no mean pretensions, and his deelara- j C > tions that he will stand by the Demo-1 , i d< , cratic party under any circumstances > will meet with a hearty response from the people of South Carolina, who will H breathe freer since their needless fears ? have been quieted, and in the same breath any hopes which the Radicals la may have entertained are now dissipated. There is no denvinc the fact, their hopes T, j. of defeating the Democracy was through the agency of an Independent candidate. V " There is now no fears of such a calamity, ^ s and our success iu the compaign is assured. >1 p m % m Grange Meeting at Greenwood. j Quite a large number of tho most ref spectable and prominent farmers and rep- j i resontation men of all trades and occupa- j, . tions in our Country, assembled at Green1 wood on last Saturday, the first of May. ^ j The attraction feature of the occasion, was A . tho announcement that Captain James ^ X. Lipscomb the Worthy Master of the t State Grange would deliver an address 3 befor the Grange at that place, discussing <"< . and explaining the characteristic's of the 3 order, Everybody was in the best of!(] . spirits, and appeared determined to give J tl one day up to pleasure, and inocent I ^ % amusement. Farmers met farmers and j j, 3 discussed the crops, Friends greeted each 1 other with genuine pleasure.

Captain Lipscomb whose honest face, sc and pleasing personal appearance, frank p] and genial manners never fails to impress rc " one with his sincority of heart and purt pose, came forward and delivered one of re > uis forcible, vigorous, sensible, and char[ acteristic speecnes. [ We regret that the ra J unusual press on our columns this week, D will prevent us giuing our readers a re- aj . port of the speech, of which we had full in % aim HiA;uiabc uuwi.y iv After the speech which was well re- ?'

There must be no dissension in f: >ur ranks. If we arc not united as one t nan, vain were tho sullc'rings, toil, and lacrificcs of '7G. "United we stand, diviled we fall."

That pary is vigilant, active, unceasing, and un-j scrupulous. They despair of defeating j ,'ou by their own party. They know that s impossible. They expect' to divide four ranks. That Is where tho trouble ivill come in. Whenever you allow distension in our ranks, either upon princitles or aspirants for office, we eusure our iwn defeat, and the elevation of thodom-i igoguo. The reign of the demagogue neans ruin to decency, to respeetabilitj*, ,0 fair and honest government. I say, .vithout. having more knowledge 011 the subject than you have yourselves, that he Republican party will not make notnnations for State ollicers. I only wish hev would. That course would unite us, itu! deliver us from the enemies within jurown household. If we yield to men who sock office, and heir own aggrandizement, we are bound sooner or later to be defeated.

It is eminently proper that this club should express its news, wishes and desires in reference to ;he nomination of State ollicers, at the June Convention. I am requested to read the following circular bearing on ;his subject. the june convention. (len. .Tolin 1). Kennedy, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of tlie.Statc jas Issued the following address: Rooms oF the Dem. Ex. Committee, C'ii.umiiia, S. C., March 20, l.ssn. To the Count}/ Chairmen of the Democratic 1'urty in SuiUh Carolina: In the recent call for a Convention toasscnijjeon the first of June next, the Htate Executive ('ommlttee desired, uinon;' other things, .o submit to the Convention Itself, when It | issetnblcd, the question whether the nomination of the State ticket should be made then arat- a subsequent time. Had ihccouimiltccoinltted to name among the objects for which tuat Convention was billed the nomination of State officers they would practically have assumed to decide the matter in favor of a second Convention. It Is niporiant that tills view of the action of the committee should be presented to your respective County Conventions when they assemble to select delegates, and you are reluested to lay It before tlieni, to the end that lie wishes of the party may find expression ind the delegates be advised of the desire of heir constituents. Unity and harmony are paramount to every ither consideration. The committee has Ini-1 illcit faith that the action of the Convention, I vhiitcver It may be, will ensure the successy{\ .he Demoer.itie party. Very respect ful ly, your obed I en t serv? n t, JOHN D. KENNEDY, Chairman. General Hemphill?In order to test the icuso of this Convention on the subject >f making nominations in June, I offer ,ue loiiownig rcsoiuiicu; licnulvcd, That It Is the sense of (lie Do trio I initio party of Abbeville County that nomi-1 mtioiis for State otllecrs be not made at the lunc Convention and that the delegate* elected from this County be so Instructed. General Hemphill?In support of thi.s | esoluliou I desire to nay hut n I'ewj tvords. Indeed hut lew are necessary. Phe propriety of some such action by this :lub cannot be questioned. I ain not able o account in any reasonable manner for bo latitude of ilie cull of tliejstate Exe:utive Committee. It is not in account iviIh tlu: past rule of the party and no special reason can be given why the oninnaigti should open so early in the season, tbo selection in 187(1 is well known to ivcry one present. Tfio Republicans had it 11 possesion of the State government. They had the power, authority and disjosilion to use arms in controlling the ilection and (lcncral Grunt was in the ?residcntal chair The State convention net in the middl? of August and thought hat a little over two months was sulliciint time to organize for victory notwith;t aiding all these difficulties stood in ?urjway and had to be overcome before mr success was assured. Now when ve lavo in our own hands all the departments >f the Stale Government?the executive, legislative and judical where is the prcs:ing necessity to enter upon a campaign >f five months ? 'A) the great mass of democratic voters this is the very busiest icason of the year. It is unwiso to do so md impossible for the State to stand it. ['lie first call of the State Executive C'otnnittee was without qualification and one >t the positive unties ot the June(.011 von-1 ion was laid down as the nomination of Suite officers. From what I can see in lie newspapers in the State every club his pronounced against nominations in tune. The common sense of the whole >tate is overwhelmingly against the folly >f this lengrtfy campaign. It is well for he Democrats of Abbeville to signify heir utter opposition to this unreasonable Mimnicnecmcnt of the campaign by adoptng the resolution now before the' club. E. <*. tiraydon Esq?I move to imend the llesolution, by inserting "and Presidontal Electors" after the words State officers. All reasons for.postponing he nomination of State officers, apply squally against nominating 1'residenial electors. The National Democratic .'arty may put some plank in the platorm upon which, Presidental Electors loininated at this time, might refuse to itand, which would necessitate the callng of another Convention and election of 'residental Electors, and we go limping lirough the Campaign. General Jiomphill?I accept the amend-1 nent. Capt White?My idea was that only lelegatcs to the Cincinnati Convention vere to be elected to nominate a candilate for President. Is it a part of the luty of the State Convention to nominate 'residental Electors? Capt King?1 novel heard of President-1 il Electors being made until the Presi-' lontial candidate is nominated. Capt ^VliUe?If Presidential Electors) n o included, I thoroughly agree with j dr. Gray don. Dr. Nuel?What action will our delecation take if the Convention insist on uaking nominations. President ('othran?They will bo bound o vote. If a majority of the State Contention insist on nomination, wo will lave to fall in and vote. Capt. White?I heartily agree with Gen ral Hemphill's resolution; two months s a plenty of time. If wo commence low wo will lose the enthusiasm so necessary to our success. I think the first of September early enough to make nouiitations. , President Cothran?Mr. Homphill has audly furnished mo with a newspaper j villaining the call of the- Executive! Committee to elect delegate to the Cin- 1 innati Convention and nor?i:iato Presi- [ lential Electors. The call >s as follows:' TIIK STATE CONVENTION. Rooms of iiik State T)em.

President Cotli ran-?The next thing in irder; if there is nothing to precede, is he nomination and election of delegates o the State Convention, which meets in Columbia in June next. How shall those lominations be made?

The club was called to order after the delegates had deposited their ballots. Tht President reauested Mr. David Aiken ami .Incite Lyon to assist the Secretary ir counting the votes. KNDOH3INO AIKEN*. During tlio counting of the votes, Gon^ eral Hemphill arose and said, As the house was not engaged ho would ollei the following resolutions: Whereas, the Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, mem bcr In Congress from thin District has alwayi discharged his clinics with an evo single t< the welfare of his constituents and his country and whereas the time Is now approaching foi the election of a successor to his seat In Con gress. Jlesolverl, That he deserves the continue) support of all true Democrats,and has thcun qualified endorsement of tho party in thli County for re-election. The resolution was adopted amid ap plause. ELECTING DELEGATES. When thi election of delegates com menced there was somo confusion, am ho very clear understanding had beei had as to how the alternates were to bi elected or appointed. During the votinj Colonel Cothran announced that the si: nominees receiving the highest voti would be elected delegates, and the si: receiving the next highest vote would bi alternates. The confusion or misunder standing acuounts for the fact that somi of tho clubs voted separate tickcts fo "delegates" and 4 alternates." Alter tin representatives understood the matte they voted only for "delegates." Ii making nn thn returns the Secretarv atu his assistants threw out the votes thn had been wist for "alternates,'' whicl accounts for the apparent discrepancy between tiie ollieial return of the vote and our tabulated statement, which nun bo found in another part of the I'ress un< Banner.
