Newspaper Page Textw f= The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, June 30,1880. Military. I-ast week vns a gala time for the Abbeville 111 ties. On Thursday at S? o'clock a. >ia. they luurched out to the HlueHill, and had their 4K11I ual target practice. The target was placed I l-> yurds avva.v. It was :?; inclu-s in diameter, and divided Into four rings,in the centre was small patch of white on a black ground, called the bulls eye. A shot in the bulls eye counted ; 53 5. In the lirst ring 4, In the second ring ;i, in, H the third ring 1, and in the fourth ring I., Kacli member wasallowed three shots. Jud^e Lyon, Opt. l'errlu, and Air. Teinpleton acted 1 m as Judges. At the conclusion oi the tiring they announced that mthimih wmjiimh; P*r had won the lirst prize. Mooring lu, and thai private.I. L. Douglass won tlio second prize, ^ scoring!'. Sergeant T. 1*. Co I lira n maue the' best single shot, a bulls eye. counting "i. After, the company had tired tile Captain and lieutenants took three shots each. The 1.teutonants claim thai they made a score ol 1 or but as the spo'. where the Captains' shots j struck lias never bee.i found, it is not possib e j to tell wli.it he made. j At t? o'clock Friday evening the drum beat ; to arms, and the company assembled tor j Dress Parade,(.'apt. I.. \V. Whi te commanding and M. I.. Honham, Jr.. acting Adjutant. At S'4o'clock the company inarched into the Court House to contend for a white and red plume, offered by thecompuny to the best | and second best drilled men in the manual ol; arms, ("apt. White, Capt. McGhco and .luduv Lyon wore the Judges. The table around I which the lawyers sit, had been moved out i and in this vacant space the company ua> drawn up. The body of the Court iiousc was | tilled with an attentive and interested uu- j tlience. We cannot follow the drill through all its movements. After nearly uu hours j drill of the original there were left six. J Another round brought one of these to grief;: but tlie dril'ing of these six was beautiful. Still another round sent another man to the 1 rear with the ccruilnty that the "'leathers' were not for him. Another bout sent still I another man out of ranks. Tho tight now ] lay between first sergeant Wilson, second Sergeant Moore, and tilth Sergeant Cothraift j These three were put twice through theentire j manual before the Judges ? ere able to deciue. j that Sergeant Wilson ha 1 won the lirst prize I ?the white plume?the announcement ol j which decision was received with applause. Now the Inteiest became intense. Sergeants j Moore and Cot bran were lot t to contend lor; in/.,Ill,I I.rly,. After CollIC twice through The manual the Judges were unable to decide, I and in view of I lie heal, and the length of the j * drill, they sugccsted a compromise, but with i a plucky shake of the head both said they would right it out on that line if it took them till day broke. So they were allowed a little interval for rest, and the right wax renewed. ' Two more rounds of the manual decided the j matter lu favor of Sergeant Moore, after tin* j pluckiest fight we ever saw. i Col. Cothrun, in a few pleasant remarks,tie- j livored the prizes, and Mr. Ik-net in a very; happy manner delivered theprizes to Ihewin-i1 Hers at the target. These were a hatidsonu j i ulivercupand goblet. | The Tea Party.
