TV* ' The Press and Banner. AUUEVILLE, S. O. Wednesday, July 28,1880. The Board of Trustees of Erskiue College. This Hoard mot Tuesday night, tlicJJOth In slant,according loaniiouiiceiiicui. r no mmlug whs not as iull ?s was expect til. 1 >r. lioyce was In the chair. Prof. .1. K. I,ce, Secretary, was present. The quest lou of the petition ot The students was dUcusscd at length,?the different lueiubers feeling a sense of the diiticully they would have In arriving at a wise and Judicious course of action. Mr. Young was one of tiie founders of the College, and hud stuck to it tinoiuh good report and through evil re;>ort. Mr. Lowiy was an excellent gentleman, who had come from a distant town at their invitation, and to dismiss him now would incur serious loss to him personally. On the other hand it was known that there was a demand for some change. A lino of action could not be blazed out that night,ami the Board adjourned to meet next any. un Wednesday tne attendance was the same as on the previous night. Weuie intorimd that as a compromise, to satisfy all all parties, that it was determined to coniinue Professors Young and Lowry at an annual salary of live hundred dola.s, and to employ an assistant teacher for each of these Protestors. There wjin some surprise felt that so much of ilu* previous art.on of the students and the more recent action of the Hoard in entertaining Mr. Sloan's resolutions h.id found its way Into ill.. ,,nti Itmiurr. We are informed tliui a resolution was passed declaring a-.:ain>-t , * the propriety of allowing the minutes of the meeting on Tuesday nigut and Wednesday to be published. "A Baker's Dozen." There are now thirteen prisoners in the Ab bcvlllejall. viz: Joe Briscoe, sent up by Trial Justice I'eKruhl, for larceny. (JeorKC Ilodtes. Casper Agnew.

Reorganization of the Jackson Literary Society. A lame number of the young men of our i town assembled at the Court House on Sat-j urtluy night for the purpose of reorganizing i the Jackson Literary Society.

WICKLIFFE, Chairman Committee. | Rev. T)r. Aixjek hus a letter of "explanation" in another column which is taken from tli?' Asooci-ite Iirftmwtl Prc?by<erv>n, We do ' not know how much good it will do, but as a general rule it is a bad plan to put one's self un the defensive. Better suffer wrong than to defend. The report was so contrary to the ' Doctor's well established character that it could do him no harm with people who were I conscious of their own worth. It Is evidence of weakness to be too sensitive as to what m >y W said of us In a casual or thoughtless < manner. We have the greatest a Initiation \ Kir Dr. Adser, mid regard him as one of the , lust men In upper South Carolina, while the As?ocintc Reformed Presbyterians have no superiors In the world. All this being true, then; is no reason why either should do the other any liHrm in word or thought, and we 1 cannot believe that either would say or do anything to Wound the feelings of the other. If however, a few more prominent Presbyterians would write letters like Dr. Adder's w<nre Of opinion that the "Seceders" would not go over to them, but would stay in tln-lr own church. 11 li now in order for Dr. Adger to apologize to such as have already gone over. The editor of the Laurtnville I I'.mid npologlxcs for being able to send out only a half sheet this week. If wc could whisper to hint across the Ennoree, we would say stick to the half sheet. It Is the best, number of the JleraUl we have seen lately,?Ourolina Spartan. Don't be ambiguous Mr. Spartan. Say wbat you mean.?X?aurenr<//? Hvrald.?We take a different view from that taken by the Carolina S/>artan. When the JhraUi uses the patent outside it is one of the very best papers that comes to this office. When It prints a half sheet It lucks the miscellaneous matter so nccessary to the existence of a country newspaper. If the Spartan meant u fling at patent outsldes, it only argued a want of Information on a very Important subject. The meeting which began in the Presbyterian church on last Saturday morning closed I MvmiHj lilrMl. Xfct > . ??II. (11 \>rt*L'(J \ Illi.% arrived on Mouday morn 104 and preached for Mr. MorrlNiintll thec.lo*eor the meeting. Mr,' Nail is a forcible nnd practical preacher and | marte a good Impression on those who heard him. It U to be regretted, however, that oar people took so-llttle interest In tills meeting. The empty pews at the morning nnd evening nervlces told a sad tale as to the religious status of our church-going people.?Keowee Cou-! rier. I,et the preachers make their sermons ! more nitnictlve nnd more Interest Inst, audi there will be no lack of audiences. Good ser-1 uions will draw. We have been told that the Amxinte Re/nrmed Prenbytnrian replied to our article In reference to trie Kev. K. A. Ransom, P. I>., In which that paper held that we were not en-1 tlrety respectful to the aged divine. In so far ' a* our article may have had the appeamnco , of disrespect to the Doctor, we would sav that | we disclaim any Intention to he offensive. It | is our aim to be respectful at all times to! those who may differ from tie. The article of; the Auociale Reformed. Presbyterian appeared ; during our absence at Cincinnati, and we: have not seen it. In this we only disclaim j the idea that we meant to bo disrespectful. Major W. K. Bradley is actively at work ' on the new Kali road to run from Dorn's Mine, by Abbeville, I>ne West, and Ilonea Path to j Helton, where it will connect with the French ; Broad road which Is now In process of con-, Ktructlon. Public meetings will soon be called for these places.when spce hes in the lntei est of this great enterprise will be made. Put your heads to thinking about this matter, as the voters will In all probnblliiy be called upon to tax themselves fortbls Iron highway. One half-mile of Hard Labor Creek In "White Hall township has hart the logs and rafts removed from It. It Is hoped that, by a little ditching, and the removal of the logs and rafts that sixty acres of bottom land 011 one'small farm, which has heretofore been flooded by every heavy rain, can soon be cultivated without fear of overflow. If Hard Labor Creek was ditched the bottoms on that rireuiu iviium iiiuku euuugu wru hj iii-u aubevllle county. "Merchant," a correspondent of the Columbia Ycomrtn and the Register have been in a controvery as to the reason why the Columbia merchants have withdrawn their advertising patronage from the Regixtcr?the "Merchant'' claiming that the Iieohtcr'iblub price hnd killed "Cock Ftobln." while the Register I h seems to think that other causes havo ! brought about the result. Our opinion is that there is a little fault on both sides. Cinda Martin the wife of Abrnm Martin, colored, at Mllway, died on Tuesday evening from the effects of a wound on the, head inflicted by her hu6band with an ordinary chop axe. Abram Is now in jail. The colored people of the neighborhood are veryindignant at the atrocity of the crime. The husband end wife are about fifty years of aee?the wife being the mother of seventeen children. The papers have an occasional paragraph or letter on the Cash-Sha'nnon duel. Coloicl fash wrote a letter to the ITews aivd Cburier which that paper very properly refused to publish. It was afterwards published in the Greenville yews. We believe in giving both sldef a fair showing, but Its wording Is such as to preclude its publication In our paper. Mr. W. B. Miller of Mountain View contemplates an extended trip In the far west very soon. He will visit Missouri. Kansas, and possibly California. He loaves for the pnupose of visiting his brothors and looking fit the country. We hope no win nnvc 11 pleasant tilp and return with a loftier opinion ot Abbovllle County. We inadvertanly omitted to makeraention last week of the serious loss which Mrs. E. M. Ltgon, of Labanon, had sustained in the burning of her dwelling. The Are It Is said cantcht from a stove. We offer Mrs. Llsjon our ftloero sympathies. No one knows hotter than ourselves how to sympathlre with thoso who suffer by Are. In the cases of Guilford Cade n?alnnt J. W. Perrln and Daniel Thomas against the same to recover taxes improperly assessed. In behalf of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad the nonsuit has been set aside by the Supreme Court, and a new trial granted. The contcst will he renewed at the next term of the court jit Abbeville. The Rlckly season is upon us nmlourpeo , I pie in town and country should take the lit , most ?tre to have their premises thoroughly cleaned. There Is no doubt that typnoii lever Is the rtsultof infected air of iinpuH . \Mver. Look to your cellars, your wells, 01 springs, and lo the ele.inilness of your whole prenti>es. An ounce of prevention Is infinite ly cheaper than Doctor's hills, luueral exi penses, Ac., Ac. Wk think that we shall change our publica I tion day of the l'rc/tx ami Jlwtiinr to Thursday. If this change should be made it will he 1c accommodate our publication ilav to suit the changed schedule on the dillerent mail routes so that a majorhy of our subscribers will re! c.-i ve their papers the suae day that it is published. Mu. J. A. C'ltoWKoitn, who lives some three ( miles east of Lowndc.sVilic, reports the l.aruis in his neighborhood as being tlry, though the l>ros|iect> of a mir crop is good.

In making las many statements as we did, it was but reasonable to expect a few mistakes to occur. TitB examination for Cadctship at West Point took place last Wednesday, at Cokesl bury. Seventeen entered tiie contest. It now finally rests between Mr. Charles 1'ressley of j Frazieravillc.und .Mr. (Jlbbes. of Columbia, as to who shall receive the appointment. Coj.onki, F. A.

The picnic and barbecue at Clear Springs conies otr to-morrow. The candidates are filing down the day before so as to got there in time for front seats. Kuch man in the community may look out for one or more candidates. Tit erk Is already quite a demand for seed oats. Two wagons wore in town yesterday, and each carried oil' a liundae i bushels. Tlie farmers arc beginning to llnd out the necessity for sowing this most important crop. (?keknvit.i.k now has two daily newspapers?the .Vcuvr and the Atxning Star. The latter is a new paper by Mr. John C. Uallov. We haven't soon a number of the latter paper. What's the mutter, friend Bailey ? We had the pleasure of a call Inst Monday from Professor S. P. H< <> ;er of Adger Co.iege He reports that institution as in a most prosperous condition. Abbeville does lier full share towards its support. The beautiful and accomplished Miss Alice Stuart, after spendilig a week in Abbeville went to her home at Sims' Cross Hoa-ls yesterday, taking with her several of the best i hearts in Abbeville. Miss Fannie I.awson, one of our most ontimable young ladies, who has been very low ! with typhoid fever for several weeks, is now j Improving, and hopes ol her recovery are now en teriained. The Tocoa AVw?hns been received. It is j quite a nice paper. We are surprised, however, that It Is not issued on a patent outside. It is in our opinion a great mistake to use such large type. Major J. F. CHiBOitN will occupy the Rutledge house on Washington street, and it is said thnt Mrs. Wlnstock will probably occupy the brick dwelling which Major Osborn vacates. Ant one in wa it, of good and cheap cl< thing will find It :o their advantage by calling on P. Hosenberg A who is selling oir summer goods very low. Give him a call.

Etliitr.i Press and Ilnnncr : No doubt you and your readers will rejoice to know that Adger College enjoyed the larg- " estandmost interesting Cominenccment it . ; has ever mel. Vlsltoro came from Georgia, Nort Carolina and southern South Carolina V. to attend the several oxerelses. The written and oral examination was a very attractive : feature to visitors Irom abroad. These exer- ^ elses were largely attended by the patrons of the College, and the friends of education V throughout tin; whole week previous to Com- '' nieneeinent proper. The visiting members of h| the Kxaming Itourd expressed great satlsfae- . Hon at. tlie handsome ae<piitals of the students. The Professors ol Adger College are . progressive, and intend makingthe examinaHon hereafter a more Important factor in Commencements. A little speech-making, the awaiding of medals, delivering of the diplomas and the like, enter too largely into the sinr qua nous of college commencements. The I'rotessors of Adger College, we hear, are devising plans by which their written and oral examinations will constitute a very In terestingfeature In Commencement exercises scholarship Is the ultimate object to be ob- , tallied by a college course, and not merely nolisli. as is loo often the case these days of ,f,J general humbugging. Pa rents are too often f," leil astray l?y the mere polish of iheir sous for n( substantial scho'arshlp. Young men who spend four years in college 'V are expected to know something of books. " TotliiRetuI the Pro lessors of Adser College are bending their merglcs and hope to show at nest Commence thai tlieir students know ?' books as well as have the polish. As Abbevillu has contributed largely of its means, furnished two Professors for this Institution, and sent many of its sons to Adgcr College, you will plesisc copy the following extract from & the hcon-et Courier: "flic eomnieneement exercises were contin- nl noil on Monday morning at to o'clock by the Tl exhibition in Prof. S.

The discipline of this department has been strict and thorough, and theresult. of this has been an improvement patent to every visitor of thcexliibltlon, and entirely satisfactory to the patrons of the school. The visiting members of the board, ti after a very rigid examination, were not only satistied but Weighted with the thoroughness | shown by the pupils is their studies. The jj class room is a model of neatness, and the (<, \\ bold rr(pne of the school .is conducted by n ?c system which proves that Prof. Hoozerlsnot fp, only the right man. in the light place, but (>v that is theuiitvof the tioard to niakeevery et- f() fort to retain him and increase from home 0j and abroad hiI patiomigc.

The audience jfcwits large and appreciative and crowded the 8(1 college chapel. The exblbtlon shows clearly ?0 progrtss made in that pnrl of the college and jf.

We believe in in- tr ternai improvements and tho success of any H local enterprise. Any section of a country b< with capital, enterprise, and energy to con- M struct a railroad, manufactory or oilier public m improvements, adds to the general Rood ol (he sc county or State and should he encouraged, fo The eitizens of Greenwood and vicinity and si the Greenwood Directors of the Augusta and lc Knoxvlllc Railroad wish success to every en- te terpriseof tlie kind, first for the Intrinsic val- ui lie of said roads, next for the good of the com- n< in unity and lastly as feeders and succors to y< Augusta and Knoxvlllc Railroad. 111 For the final success of the Railroad via w (irecinvood, wc depend upon our individual cc enterprise and resources.

Not of course from a want- of interest by the publishers of the Vress and B Hanncr in that vicinity, but from a dcllcacy B on the part of these good people to speak out B for Its interest. Sirs, when i say that this : section is one far above an average In many C< respects, I do not cast any reflections on any P other of our sister neighborhoods. While we <> ! are not blessed with many advantages pos- F I sensed by Ninety-Six, Greenwood and Abbe- F ' vllle, such as the mighty bustle of t he Iron S [ horse with its great facilities of business and Ii news, we are not cursed with grog shops and 15 electioneering candidates, and wfdeh of two B of theSe evils Is the lesser we are unable to K I safv. T , Phoenix Is so arranged that one who lives G ; In it doe* not reward that ho lives exactly In C I town, but not altogether in the country. Ho P j Is close enough to his neighbor to reap all the M I advantages of nn Inland town and far enough P ! away from him to avoid the evils of close T neighborhood. The Methodists and Baptis's , I! j are both represented with good churches, in j C i workmanship equal to any In tho county, I C | have soon, and have them supplied with two C I sensible and practical preachers.
