' Death of a Useful Citizen. j J AVe regret to announce the death of Colonel |1 JVivid (Miver Hawthorn, which took place at!1 liis residence Friday, the LTtli of August. If Colonel Hnwthorn win well known to nearly j' every IwKly in Ahlcjville County. l.efore the ' War lie vras the owner of u large estate which |' lie managed in such a manner as to make liitn I' I.'i public benefactor. He always manifested ' the greatest interest in young men, and often j r lent lliein a helping hand. 1 Miring his life ho 1 hail in his employ many ^onng men whore- ' eelved from hlni pwcMcul lessons in the husin ess of life, some ofpvhom are now prominent ' cllzensatlU meposessorsoi nanusoiueesiuu":. IsThe writer of tills paragraph is a debtor to h's ' kindness iind iius ever rememboredj most j c gratefully the generous andundoubting man- t ncr In wiiieh the deceased lent his name to c him for a large amount before ho had reached j I his majority. It was In a groat measure to o Ills interest In a poor boy that we are indebted i i for our present position In the r*r>-ss and //toi-ll ncr. While he with others kindly st<M>d by li us, it was with his advice, counsel and assis- ii tance more than any other that we without a o dollar in band, made the venture of buying a tl half interest in tho Abbciille IVm.y, which 1' \va? afterwards consolidated with the Ilanncr H ?when it became the Press a/ul Jhxnnrr. The t' deceased Was a tnan of good Integrity, and o was always fair and upright In his business n transactions, and no man In AbbevllleCounty n was inorc generous to thoso who appeared to ? hi in for assistance. Though he never with a 1: great 'trumpet sourded |e.\trenie pununioai ji notions, yet he was far many years a promi- i' lient man in the Associate Reformed Church, si H?wasonall subjects liberal in thought as si .... In J(,mo iiFin.lv.flvp or tliirtv SI years ago became a member of tiie Masonic si fraternity, notw'yistandln? tho great preju- j I tf Ice which existed at that tiincjln his Church P against secret {Societies; arid lie was, wo be- p llevc, the llrst member of that Church who ? ?lid not forfeit his uu.-mH6r*Mp upon Joining r< the Masons. In church matters he was al- w ways liberal with his money, and Erskfne ti College, irom the foundation of tho College to Ills dying day. ever found a most liberal A friend In Colonel I). O. Hawthorn. ai He was a public spirited citizen to the full- Is est extent of the meaning of the word. At si one time, In addition tornnnlng bis farm he in was engaged in various otber pursuits, and I ai ownwl a carriage and wagon factory, a tan h ^^^^ vyard, a saw and gist mill, a set of wool cards, al h tin sling, a store of general merchandise? w nlliogether giving bis country home theap-jdi Vearance of a busy little town. At one time si lie owned a half interest In the Greenville I paper mills. No man ever possessed more W energy or a more versatile talent. d< The results of the war swept away his large Si estate. Kor the last ten years he has devoted In his attention to farming. During that time 111 he had experimented In various new crops, G viz. : upland rice, jute, and sugar cane, lie grew theflrst bale of into in South Carolina, which received special notice in Charleston. Colonel Hawthorn's excellence of charac- f. ter, his kindness of heart, his energy, his enterprise, and his usefulness are worthy exam- |>i pies which our yonui migiu wen seen iiii ui-i u ulate, lie died, aged about sixty-five years,!

The latest on he subject is an article in the Milium waning to know by what authority a certain I lame was anions "that list of rebs." I cant ell him who put It there, but it eould have teen associated with a more "disgraceful" hlng. The iianie wa< not on the original >et itioti, and was printed, I suppose, by inisake, and to use a college expression, "there s no use to rare about it."' i The object of tliis loiter is to vindicate! hro'.igh .your columns the character audi tutuliui; of young tne-i who got up thc'peti-l ion.

The facts of the easel think will not bearUt any,'such assertion. The simple sendin; up of that petition Indicated progress, 'he President claims that tin' College h:?s not i<:en so well blest in several years. Further, t is an observed fact that hotter marks are htalnod in these objectionable departments iian in any other single room..IjOss attention ; paid to tiic branches in t hese rooms.

Such a ;hme was talked of many years ago, and if it ion Id extend back to the days of I lie Mwlinm, ask that lie judge not the boys In Krsklne at resent, by the boys of his day. It Is an im- , eachment of t he wisdom of the Faculty, to ty the indolent and "those not capable of . ceivlne Instruction" wore the only ones lio came to t'?e front In this desired re vol u- ( on.

I came re in 18C0, t here were no mills here I hen, here was a public road on each side of the ver up to the branch but no bridue, there id been a private one but it was then gone. I lore had been ail effort made to rebuild but lied, One of the County Commissioners of!, bbeville proposed to me that I should get up ' ie and that tliey would receive and make It public bridge. I went to work and with ?uie assistance from the farmers round hero >t one UD, placed it before our lioard but icy would not receive it. in two years after was washed oil'. I then rebuilt and again sked the Hoards of each county to receive it 1 bbeville said yes, but Laurens said no. Il L'Xt made application for a charter which I as granted, to collect toll, which I d'd for j 1 vo years. Then the bridge broke again and refused to rebuild. The public then called ?loudly for a public bridge, that the county imniissioners came forward and received icold one with about Slot) of toll collected by ie and paid out by me to put on the new jor. It then became the property of the 10 counties, and almost every year from uitdatea bill lor repairs, from the fact that 1 ten there was no law against throwing tim r in the river which at every high water 1 irrled {oil a portion of tin; bridge, 1 Line in, so that It was a heavy ex I . use and. besides, it was not often a safe ; ossinir for the uublic. From these facts, six jars past I proposed to the two Hoards tnatM they would put the biid.ro on live rook pit- i is us I d I roc tod that 1 would pay SVK) of the 1 II, tli Is offer I he present Hoard accepted and ! >\v we have a first class bridge on a rock base 1 >ove high water, which is a credit to theM escut Hoards of both counties, and I bold Is < saving of money to the tax payer, and in ! oof of this fart I refer you to the bridges 1 tilt thirty years ago by Mr, William Dover, hich are good yet, and what has been the 1 ist for repairs, nothing so far as I am able to { urn.

The author of the i-ce says that a similar resolution was passed by the eenvillc County Convention, and states that "this is nothing more than right?and should he done in , cry county.' To mv mind it is entirely wrong,'' (I no sueh resolution "should Iks passed.

Marring this, however, there , one substantia! reason why Auditors and Treasurers ( ould not be voted for,at least, a' present The rean is, that it is the law for the Governor, "by at.d w ith e advice ami consent of tho Senate," to appoint unty Auditors and Treasurers. If voting for incumbents of these offices means any ngltis that those eloeted shall be appointed. In is case the Governor and Senate have ro discretion.

'dilorx Pre** find Banner : Abbeville nnd Anderson can boast of the est worked roads of any counties in the lute. And I verily believe that the state of ic roads in a legitimate result of t he operilous of the stock law. Every farmer uesirig to protect his crops from passing veliies, digs a ditch alongside his cultivated elds, and tin's the water is carried oir from io roads. I have recently made the trip '<>111 Abbeville to Anderson C. >1., and chal;nge any two count ies to show roads in bet;r condition than those that I have passed ver. The crops, too. are good. Thecotton is openlg rapidly, but there are matry boolls still to pen. All along the line picking was going n at a lively rate. And yet. there seemed to e a good deal left in thellelds to open. When tie passes the boundary lineof Abbeville and .nderson counties one scarcely realizes It. ,t that distance from the respective county mts the ubiquitous candidates do not seem ) have penetrated.

I was ubout to say Jutl 1 did not expect to find so much enthusiasm as is evident lieie to-day. We have assembled for the purpose of electing rive delegates to the Stale Convention, to lli;dout what course the Hepublicun party win take in South Carolina. Our citizcus participate in all elections, for or againsi any candidate. 1 hope we will have quiet ami peace among ourselves. You need no cnc juiagenieiit.

I don't want, two or three members talking at the same time, for 1 can't hear. 1 Mors in a blacksmith shop, ami my hearing is as good as any body's. Tolbert.?Mr. Chairmun and Gentlemen: Every body knows that, if I ever attempted anything in the Convention, it was fair play. I always attend your Conventions, and Ihougli it Is agsinst m,v principles, and militates against my political creed, ye! to expedite matteis, I move that tlie Chairman anpo'nl live respectable men to go to Columbia on id September Miti'h.?The Chair Ik not disposed to take that liberty. Some will say they can get votes >inet oiliers will say they could. Some will say the Chairman appointed his friends. 1 don't mink it "fur." Let thcgeiitleinan name a committee to appoint them. "J>o" for the sake of high heavens "don't" two 'Kill on me tit the same time, It is not dignified and It Is not parliamentary. K. Cain.?I move to amend the motion, by the (,'imlr appointing a committee from each township, i desire it understood, that I am no candidate lor that committee or any other. The Chair appointed thirteen on the committee ,who ret ired to the Jury lioom. During their absence the wildest confusion o sued. callsQ for a.l k n Is of speed es were made, and It was difficult to determine whether it was a Democratic revival, an effort to make Greenback converts or a Republican love feast. At this stage of the proceedings the din and confusion was Bo intense that for tear of some breach of the peace, Col. Cothran made his appearance in the Court House, and addressing himself to his while friends said : I don't intend to makea speech. There is no objection to these people assembling peaceably as they have here. This is no campaign meeting. They have the authority to meet here, appoint their delegates, and return peaceably from town, ns they will. If I had liny doubt as to the success or a Democratic victory, I would say clean up this meeting, and all like tlicm. We liave no Interest In It. They have a light to send delegates, and let them send tlieni. 1 ask as a favor thai rny white friends will retire. With the consent ol" the Convention, and as there is no business before tlie House, Mr. Wallingford, who I believe is a Republican, will address the meeting on the interesting subject of Greenbacks. I Mr. Wallingford mounted the Judge's stand and was about to speak when Tolbert said: With due deference to Mr. Wallingford. Col. Colli ran and my white Democratic l'rie.nls, he has no right to speak here. We have met to elect delegates to go to Columbia to decide | whether wo shall do anything or nothing. I Here Tolbert continued gesticulating wildly, and perspiring profusely, but the applause wasso long continued and repeated, that It was Impossible to hear what lie wis saying and the attempt was abandoned. At last the committee returned and reported the following delegates to attend all the Conventions: J. It. Tolbert, A. li.Grlflln, A. J. Titus, iioney Williams, and Mitch Goggins. H. A. Widcman moved that tho report be adopted. Tolbeit.?Ileforc tho Convention adjourns It should put Itself scpire on the Presidential question and let it be known whether wo are going to vote for Garfield, Hancock, Weaver or anybody at all. Tom Finley came to the front and offered the fallowing resolutions, ratifying the noml. luuion of Gurlle^d and endorsing the principles of the National Republican party. j Ahhkvji.i.k, c. H., S. c.. Augusts. I8S0. Abbeville County Republican Convention' The platform IS as follows: Ji aolucd, That we heartily ratify tho nonii nation of General James A. Garfield of Ohio and General hester A. Arthur of New York ' | for President and Vice President of the Unit "|edttta.es. - ' ' " ' S" Rcnoilvcd, That we endorse tho principles nfIlrmed by the last National Republican Convention. Hr.vtlvcd. That the elect ion of tho Republican candidates and the triumph of Kepublican'prlnciples will InMiro a continuance of that sound financial jwlicy to which we owe our renewed prosperity, will secure the full protection of free American labor from all unjust competition, will spread free education over every portion of the country and place beyond ail peril the civil and political rights of every clti/.cn In the United Slates. ltcsUncd, That we will support (Jarflcld and Arthur llrst, last and all times. Wo pledge I hem our hearty support from this day until the election In November next These ltesolntlons were adopted, and then adjourned one of the greatest farces over held in tin- Court House at Abbeville. .Most of the negroes remained in the building, when Mr. Walllngford of Indiana, addressed them, and gave them some sound. I practical and wholesome advice, lie told them lie had formerly been as strong a Republican as any of them, and had been as strongly attached to his parly as they, and loved Has lie did Ills (<od. Hut that he had become thoroughly disgusted with It now. it was a party composed of unscrupulous and destaging men, who intended to use them ns tools to advance their own political interests and nothing more. He was in favor of breaking up each of the old political parlies, and forming a new one, composed of tnc honest men of tho country, who would protect tho working men, and where all could meet oil uic KiiiH' ihiwiuim iioiicdi; uiiu i^un. Justice to all. Let us break down toe race Issues, cultivate friendly relations with each other, and no to work to develop this country, the common mother of us all. Colonel Cothran being vociferously called lor by the Democrats present at this stage of the proceedings said substantially : That he had not expected ;to say anything in this meeting; tnat It was late In the day. but as he hardly expected ever to have sucii an opportunity of addressing the Radical leaders again, ho would give them a lew wholesome facts to think of; that their appearance here, well elad, well fed, and upon fat sleek mules, was the best argument that could be made In favor of the honest government which had been furnished U) them In 1876, and under which they had lived In pcaco with their neighbors, and In prosperity and plenty for the Inst four yars. Why are you not satisfled with tills ? The miss of vou arc satisfied with It, but a few noisy, livzy loafers among you who are thirsting for olliees which they are unfitted to fill, have attempted to produce discontent and to bring back again the troublous times of which we have already had too much for your orour good. How can you estimate the advantages of living h> peace with your neighbors ? Your taxes re duced one half; your schools kept open for the fulljterin upon flic public money, which Is honestly expended. Were things so formerly V Vou know that they were not. The Interests which tlio people of this County have in good government are too gn at to be trilled witli. You cannot govern, this country because you arc not.fltted to govern It and the experience of the past pro es this. You are not to blame for this butthe fact exists nevertheless, and facts but be dealt with as we llntf them, for they must ubborn tilings. ares vord of advice at parting: Disperse Oncy to your liomes,'gathcr your crops, pay uttetlr debts, if you owe any, put the nalyoulice In yourpukdt, educate your.'chlldren, live at peace with your neighbors, keep out of politics and steer clear of the Court of Sessions. Don't undertake to run this government until you are fitted to do so by su perior virtue, honesty, and intelligence to which tho white man has, and when you can present yourselves with thcsetQuntitles in superior degree to tho white people. I for one, will promise to turn over tho government to you?but not till then. After this the negroes mndo their little purchases, got 011 their horses and went quietly and peaceably home, and everything and everybody appeared jus cool as the centrul seed of a cucumber.
