The Press and Banner,!. ABBEVILLE, 6. C. jf Wednesday, March 23,1881.! i ) ? ~ *? ?<-i?.j.._ ni.ioii- |,' The isoumern tuicuum nmm i Yesterday *we were called on by Mr. 1*. II. i ^ l)ietz, of Ureenville, canvassing ???ent in this county, for the sale of the Si>uiiiein r.aleixlar! Clock "K:ishion." who re iuest?d u< to speak ,,v of the fuet that he Is now ottirinsr this clock i s trt our people on accommodating terms. Mr. J ' THctz appears to he n man of good address, I' nml we have no doubt that his clock is all that he represents it to he. though we haw never j| seen one of Ills tlme-piet'es. lie informs ns t that lie has already sold many of his clocks to ! s citizfnsof this county, and that he will can-; f vass the county thoroughly. In conversation v with him he spoke in the highest terms of| oar lands and our citizens, and seems well: ^ pleased with ourcountyasa whole. Tticconi-!' " ' '"i* Iip renrescnts has a bolt t ten teams i V In this suite engaged in sclingand delivering j ,v these clock* to the fanners of the country, , nnd, to juilge from the extensive business which the company is doing In'srlling clocks at the high figures which the "Fashion" is' c * >ld, we would say tliat the trade i.^ immense- s ly profitable, and that lie represents a very l rich company. Mr. Dietz Is selling his clocks j " on time to such of his customers as may desire [ 11 indulgence, and we presume that some of our citi/.ens will even go so far as to mortgage ! s their property for the payment of the note lor ( h a timepiece. While we personally know i a hothing of the merits of the clock we do not Ik doubt that it is a good one, and we will leave | it to the common sense of our people to! n prompt them In deciding upon th>-ir need of j, so tine a clock as well as their ability to pay J j; for it. Our only objection to the clock Is the j j, price. If cotton should go down next Fall, it j would Uike about the proceeds of a bale of cotton to pay the thirty-eight dollars which I * the "Fashion'' clock costs. A calendar clock ^ is a calender clock, the world over, and If you j " ttectt a time piece and cannot get along with s tin ordinary Ave dollar clock, as we do, you ought to buy o?e of these clock? at thirty- h eight dollars. One advantage In buying from 11 Mr. l>letz In that he delivers it at your housw. j s nnd thereby stives you the great trouble of - .J Kt,.oklnlr Inlv KOMI? l<> Klttll, HUM I lit: ?... I.ww ... ... , ctirrying.it home Is avoided : and, besides, wo I ? have no doubt tli.it Mr. Hictz would be as f clever with you as possible, in the payment of I the debt, and In the event that you failed to!, pay the note at maturity lie would Hot allow ; 1 the expense of the bank protest which usual- ? )y attaches to dishonored bank notes. Those jc of onr|Kfople who have tine houses, and ele-j gant furniture to eorn-spond, if disposed to h pay a Rood price for a clock, cannot do better I i than to buy a calendar clock from Mr. IHetz.! si A citizen of the county, who had bought one j of these clocks, was in town yesterday, and lie u expressed himself, to us us being highly picas-1 ( ed with his bargain. The TVork of the Freshet. ? Last week besides doing much damage to tpe plowed lands, washed off quite a number " bf bridges In this county. ti On Little Itlvcr the bridge at Martin's mill has been so much injured that it is in a dan- w gcrmis condition. b - Wardlaw's onuge is uuuij- u.nu^u,, needs immcJiately attention. A new bridge from above came down the stream and lo'lged * hear this bridge. It is not known from w whence It came. Davis' bridge Is gone. si The bridge at Calhoun's Mills Is gone?the h V iter being higher than at any time slncc lvki. I, The bridges on I?ong Cane suffered, as far as /j trc have heard as follows: | At Morton's Mill, one arch of the bridge -v_ gave way, and It now stands in a precarious ? condition. l< The Dendy briug*, which Is a new one, put tip not more than a month ago, was Injured. ei .The bridge at Bradley's Mills was injured M and is now reported to be In a dangerous condition. ('apt. John K Bradley, who runs a |, gin for custom work lost some twenty or y twenty-five bales from the gin yard. Nearly all tho cotton has been recovered from the creek. At Bradley's Mill It Is said that Long *1 Cane rose seventeen fcot In two hours. ": The bridge at McKettrlck's Mill is gone. The bridge at Searles' Mill Is gone. qi The bridge at the Parker place on Calhoun's M Creek Is gone. The gin house of Messrs. Clamp <t Wilson on |)( Parks Creek was washed away. .j . The damage to the county in bridges will en till n heavy tax upon our citizen*. Tins id-| fcether with the ereat Inconvenience wh'cn C( our people will sutter in eonsccjncnce should ? *et our officers and the public generally to devi-c some plan l?y which we may be saved this ol K-cat:pxpense after every fresln-t. It seems to ,\] mh that the County Commissioners should look well into (he facts, and wherever praetl- .i, Cable, build substantial structures. It would be economy in the long run, even if 1; should be expeusi veut present.

The V, lower corner of the house was undermined,t1 hnd the whole toppled over into the creek.! h The house was torn to pieces and the niachin-, n ?*ry and one sin washed d:iwn ti>e crr-ek. The ! . next after noon Mr. Clamp and his sons were on the cr?*ek about a mile and a half below i " \ where the giit house stood, and finding some ! of the machinery on the bank, they thought j. there might be something wrong, and at once ;. preceded up thecree.. and found the house J, b*?* anrt everything pertaining to the gin scatter- j J1 ed along its banks. We learn that thegin will i {'. not be rebuilt. The gin hud been run ubout j six years. u ? w To Farmers. ? We desire to make our naperof value to our ,i agricultural readers, and with this view we solicit from practical farmel*st their e.\neri?;Q rnce and opinions relative U? anything which will tend to improve ana aeveiup me us> itur;: tureof the country. Farming is a science,1,.. * and skill anil intelligence can accomplish , ns much In its pursuit as manual labor.

A mule and its rider i ci first had a heated argument as to which road v\ to take. After some lit Mo tlrno had elapsed i c< about half-a-dozen darkies appeared on the d scene. The mu'e's head was enclosed In a | o Corn sack, so that he couldn't see which way : ti to kick, and then every negro commenced' beating the mnle with nil manner of sticks,, n and the abused animal was provoked to \Vnste; ( enough strength and energy In kicking In the | li wrong direction to have killed every negro jt present. If the heels of the mule had been , o properly directed. Such cruelty to animals j v should not be tolerated In a civilized commu- j iilty. We need a Society lor the prcveutlo.i: 0 of cruelty to animals.

Mr. Klrby Is the best marshal In America; I hnd lie knows more about planting trees and c working streets than any other man in the) County. He Is nowre-setUm: the trees which i died last year, and is also putting out trees In ] many other localities. When Mr, Klfliyfln-j Ishes his work ou Magazine Hin, that bcatitl- ; ful part of town will be still further improved and beautified. | Fcll Stock.?Peal <fc McTlwalne have Just j received by the airload, Cincinnati Buggies, I Phaetons and Double Spring Wagons, which: they will sell low down for the money. These j vehicles are built of the best material, and in j the latest styles. They are cheap, durable, I good, and worth more than the money that I will buy them. No such bargains In this line; were ever offered to the Abbeville public before.

At the request of our townsman. Dr. E., he repeated the Lord's Prayer in Spanish, with a fluency and propriety which even a Padre might have envied.

T11E DEBATlTlXTHE SENATE. ienator Hill's Attack oil Mahone?The Democratic Position Untenable. UVeu; York Herald ] Wasiunotok, March 14, JSS1. There was an interesting and, indeed, re* narknble scene in theSenateCo-dny. Senator lill. ol Cicorgla.in a longnnd biticrhararigue indertook to bulldoze Senator Mali one, of ,'iiulnia, and conspicuously failed. It is very arely that a new Senator has made so forciilcund impressive an opening for himself as icneral Muhone did to-duy. The estraordilary and in some parts brutal attack of Mr. Iill only served to draw Mahone out Into a uanly and straightforward definition ol his losition, and served also, as plainly appeared, ; show hlin that he could not,even had he iccn inclined to, come under the bondage of a lemo<-mt!c caucus ruled by such men as .^enitor Hill. The ik'inocrn tic Senators appear to be grlevuisiy disappointed that the republican-* will ot allow them to "organize tiie Senate,'' as It ? willed. Tltc republicans have nskcd them to wait Int I Hit' vniniit republican scats should be Sited. which will be in a few days. Precisely irliy the deniocnts are in Mich liable, or why ht-y want to organize the Senate at all, it is lot easy to tell The House will he republlan; the Senate will he, nt the wor-t, a tie, rith the Viiv-Prosidenl t> Rive the casting 'oto for the ri'publh ans. !t m far better for he public intcrc-ts that Congress anil tlioj<?1iiinist.ation should he in harmony, and the peclacleof a lot of eminent democratic Seniors making n struggle over a matter so close hat they themselves can not tell who would ontrol in a lull Senate, is not edifying, of ionise chairmanships of committees and mall patronage are desirable, but, on the otli r hand, It Is seen by a c'std many democrat* till lingering about lieic, Representative* mil otheffl, that the wisest course for their arty Is lo put the full responsibility of ruing upon the republicans,and the Worst deniwintic policy would be to perpetuate for another four years such a sterii. struguleas dlsrraefd the party and brouKhl itintocotitempt luring tire lluyes ad . inlstratlon. At best 11 .he democrats could orgatil/.e the Senate comnittceH they could only take a little more jrominent part In confirming President <iaricld's nominations and thus put him under Tl,?l Rimn In M?I ivorih the candle. AS lo (?<-h'eral ilahone's Gourde It Is not ony honorable to him, but It is wise for his state. It Is bitterly denounced to-night by a landfill of Virginia republican spoilsmen, ivliose efl'ort has been for yoftvs lo keep the republican parly in their state assmall as posslale In order that each of these grumbler* might have as much patronage to divide ad possible. General Mahone's position breaks Lhe solid SoUth, and Senator Hill's abuse ol Maholiewlll help to do It. Theliourbonsand the progressives have come to Whata Western man onceealled "prevarication of the roads,' md every iterlllmaie Interest In Virginia ha< reason to rejoice that Muhone Ik raan enough Lo repudiate the Hourbon in the Senate as lu last year repudiated and defeated the hour bons in his Slate.

He has a j seat In the Senate for six years and will con- it 1 trol enough valuable patronage to reward his ; particular friends anil scalp liis most promlj nent enemies. The Republicans, like .Inrgen- di j son and Dezemlorf, may array tiiclr white alI lies against him, and thousands of Democrats may desert his banner. Iiut this does not rufj fle him a leather. They cannot deprive him 'Infills Meflt and the InflJience it gives. He ' j knows, no man better, that tlie vicissitudes of I politics are m.'iny and surprising, and he Just 111 !! sits still and takes the chances. lie can look Ti I around tlie Senate and socmen embracing one flj ! another who. a fe'v years ntro, were ns hostile 1 as^beastsof prey. Ilefore six years are cone, '| he may be the idol of the Democrats and the ci j thorn In the sld" of the Republicans. Whcre! fore, loving notoriety, he has, thanks to his I own eccemrlci'y, queer conduct, and Hill'sex- 1,1 ! corlatlon, drank a deep draught of combined ft* 'i humiliation and fame. So, liaving a tough civ ' i tlcle.a plastic conscience, and profound knowl- } ledge of liie caprice jinti iony 01 manxum, iiu -lean airord to snap his fingers at the present I ami await the future Willi something like comI placctiey. The dagger that might, go to his vlj Urls would be the possible contempt and In| gratitude of hlH new a I lies, niter squeezing his | lemon. Btit this is not a likely contingency, ] for they have already given him tne clitrmnnj ship of an Important committee, and so long | as he holds the balance of power he cun coini maud at least the semblance of respect. If he , lose, in any wny, that pivotal position, then his sceptrn will be broken, and whatever is _ mean in him or the Republicans must have ! development. Until stieh ncontingency, he In M ja person of exceptionally distinguished posi- I ! tlon, and Hie marks left upon him by Ben Hill 1 I will be wounds into which the republicans | and it may he n considerable number of Vir| ginlftus will pour tlie Hvreet-^ccntcd oil of flut| tery ami attention. The .Senate to-day did nothins. TheRepub' I ! llcans wished to proceed toexecutivc business, j but this the Democrats resisted, and an adjournment took place.

Weshall v j see what we shall 8cc. w Malaria in Healthy Localities. ? One of the thlnps that make a resprclable I citizen say in his liable, like the psalmis.t.that all men are liar*, is the contradictory nature of the .stories he hears about the health of the Huhurban towns in which he looks for aeoun- ? j try residence. One ae<iualtance will Inform ? him that a certain town is full of malaria. * which statement-isgenein'ly untrue; anoih- P er will teil him that the same town has no p malaria .whatever, which is sure to be false. Perhaps the town is on top of a hill and swept r by all the winds that blov.*, or It may Jut out 1,1 Into bay, sound or oc.an, yet some of Its li.? cc I habitants arc almost sure to have malarious disease*. On the other hand, It may be on a j level plain and yet have many rrd cheeked, I brk-ht eyed Inhatdtunts who know nothiugof 1 malaria. Unless in the vicinity a large qtian- I tityof vegetable or animal matter Is con tinuully in a state of ferment and decay, or long hidden organic substances are suddenly expost d to I lie sun's rays, as Istho case during aci luilway < xiuvntlons tind other extensive dis-! A turbances iif soil, there is no ahsoluto n< e? s-| sl] tlty for an entire town being malarious; but i local causes of malaria, confined often toa sir.- j gle cstutf, ate almost numberless. A single town drain, unless It has a rapid descent and | I Is frequently Hushed with water, us town j drains ncverare in untiliner, will cause iwb i rial sickiiess along its entire line, even i( tlie village is on the top of a mountain. A we.l _ ! Hint is within a hundn <1 or two bundled feet | of cesspool or privy, us nearly nil country i wells are, must sooner or later undermine the j health ol IhotcwhouPe Its water.
