The circumstances attending his death make the event a peculiarly sad one . und was a shock to the whole com-, munity. He was just in the prime ofj 1 us life, and to within a few days of his death was in the enjoyment of hi* usual health. He was somewhat indisposed of typhoid fever for several j days and remained in the house and only on the day previous to his death | was there any anxiety or apprehenioti as to his condition. Physicians* , liad dismissed the case on Wednesday morning, but in the afternoon of lhej( same day he was taken suddenly ill, ! and his physicians were again sum-!: inoned to his bedside, but all their skill was unavailing. He steadily J grew worse, until one o'clock Thurs- ' day noon, when he breathed his last. ?' He was perfectly conscious to the last, J und talked with those around him as tn hiwdviucrcondition. When near the < iw ~ * O " clo.se of his life lie was requested to < take another dose of medicine, but he j j said with his characteristic politeness. "If you will excuse mo, I will* not' take it. It will do me no j^ooi!. I :un (! goinj; to die." Always, (he ?ti:!k- ( man, polite and courteous, he had <n-j deared to him many friends in thi>! community, who knew him best'! and loved him most. His death is j' universally regretted by all classes of; our eitizeiis, and a large concourse of: ]>eople assembled in the Episcopal t church to pay a tribute to the memory I of the departed friend and neighbor, i Sickness iu Abbeville-Action lo Abate ; the Evil. i' Although nearly every part of thej State has, within the last six months, | suffered more or less from typhoid ! fever, Abbeville has entirely escaped:1 until within the last few days when 1 two or three cases of this dreaded dis-' ease was developed. We have already ; < lost one of our youn;; men, and two ?' arc still suffering with thisji malady. These facts, together with tliat other well known fact, that t typhoid fever is the result ot cause,'t has set our town council and other j good citizen's to work to prevent if;, possible, a further spead of this terrible i scourge. To accomplish this desired'" result it will be necessary fort hem to' have tlie co-operation of our citizens s livery good citizen shouhl endeavor to 1 keep his lot in such conditions, as to not cause sickness in either his own or s his neighbors' family. Jt is well known : that filthy lots and offensive ce?s pools! are fruitful sources of diptheriu and, typhoid fever, and every precaution tdiouid be taken to prevent a further spread of typhoid fever as well as to avoid the introduction of dipthena. Let all residents look well to their back lots. A little more cleanliness j1 may save a doctor's bill, and the ex- ' pense of a funeral. In connection with this, we would 1 recommend to the attention of our; ^ Jicoplc the wise provisions which the, Joard of Health have recommended t as measures of precaution. It will not do for us to disregard all the known j im s health, and still expect to be, healthy. Look to your back lots. j ^ Ti.e Town of Bra-lley.

Editor# Press anil Banner: Both of the political parties demand a Vee lisil lot ami an honest count instate ind National elections. The question to <o|vo in how shall we have universal sufrage and an honest government. If the iiiil'rago is qualified, how shall Commulism, whieli is beginning already to take m organized form, lie prevented ? There s danger that the ship of State will ireak on citherof these rocks if not careullv piloted. The soluLion of this quesion is paramount to all others, and tin ><itriot should he nioro concerned ahou: t, than any within the range of polities. Hie education of the masses is tlic only ale-guard to the ballot brx and the only lanacua for all the evils of universal sufrage. It is alleged that the elections in he South are mixed with fraud, it is also 'barged that the elections North are conrolled bv capitalists, and the will of the eople in both sections is not heard, .'hoe are grave charges, and no doubt i here is a good deal of truth in both, j .'lie people of the South are tired of the j ixciteinent produced by elections, and k'ould be ready to adopt a plan that would nsuro a tree ballot, a lair count, and at lie same time secure good trovernment. i vnv reflecting mind can comprehend the Uliculties by which we arc surrounded, >ut liow to surni'Xiut them is a question lot so easily solved. No man, however stalwart he may be, I' he is truthful, will deny that the greatst mistake made since the war is the enranehisiug of the masses, a majority of k hom in several of the States can neither ead nor write. It could not be expected hat good government could be had uner the circumstances, the experiment i.is made and the result was disastrous. . 'he main question is, how is the evil to e remedied so that we may have a free ote and a fair count. We answer, eduate the masses up to the point where ev- ' ry man twentv-one years of age will be; ble to deposit his vote intelligently and j. udependently. The problem ot a free . tcpublie can never be solved until the eople are educated and universal sufage based upon it. l! this can be done, it will insure good overnment, we will avoid the sad fate 1 f the Republics of the past, and at the ii nine lime a quietus will be put to Com- 1 uuiism which is the bane of all good ' overnment in Monarchies or Republics. |( The recent amendment to the Const it u-) 1 on has taken from the States the power j 1 > interfere with the mutter of suffrage, | < ml consf'oiit'iitlv \vi> must look to the it I'neral government to remedy t-l'O evils k ^suiting from it. U:? to this time, very jr tile lias Ijecn done by the government at < Washington for the education of thejt ia?ses. It has provided liberally for in-| 1 rnal improvements and for the disabled ;\ >!diers in the late war. While all this is ( gilt, the education of the people is vast-1 s * more important than either, as theII ability of the Republic mainly depends j 1 [ton the intelligence of its citizens. A , >od deal of the public money has al adv been expended in defraying the tpenses of investigating committees I : id visiting statesman to correct evils I hich must necessarily follow from iuju-'F icious legislation. The skillful plivsi-j , an will always apply his remedies to ie cause of disease and* not to the effects. :> with the statesman, he should diag-l >se the disease of the body politic and; inly his remedies accordingly. The, i overnmcnt should appreciate the magni- j ide of the subject and provide liberally J r the education of those who are to be ie future guardians of its institutions, he remedy proposed by the committee ipohitcd at the last session of the Lvglature, only strikes at the effects of th<-,il in recommending the registration of ie voting population, and instead of aeunplisiiing any good, will in my opin- i n, result in incalculable injury to the ^ el faro of the State.

The idolizing Moloch of your adora-: ions f ir the country's prosperity (stock aw) at whoso shrine you pour forth lavishingly your weekly oblations lias given oirth to a new political faction in the Lowir part cf the State, which, doubtlejg, - r* . " . - will sweep the Democratic ranks as with the besom of destruction. I am inclined to believe Democracy is inaugurating a system of government that will seriously conflict with its future longevity. I am glad to see that the lower part of the Slate is disposed to be charitable towards the upper part, and has manifested much wisdom in announcing the Hon. 1$. F. Perry (Old Reliable) of Greenville, as the internal head of tho State ticket in the ensuing campaign, lie is my favorite choice for that exalted position. No better selection could be made to suit both parties. He possesses, in an eminent decree, the essential qualities both of intellect and hcii t that are well adapted to steer the ship of State into a haven of security. His administrative abilities and iversion to partisan aggrandizement qualify him as tho man till the gubernatorial chair. I presume our law-makers have resumed business and are hamincrinirawav unon the anvil ot arguinenta tion to fashion some jjood material, to run the Stntc "machinery." I hope success will eventually crown their "everlasting"' and indefatigable efforts. I imagine if they would forgo a law tlmt would have a tendency to bring about a diminution iu the canine population, it would bo a beneficial auxiliary in bridging over the "hard times." Percent, tax on the live dollars valuation does not answer the purpose. ileavj' capitation tax is the only remedy. The country is literally over-stocked with worthless dogs. O. P.

If his sledge-hammer arguments effects anything for the relief of the tax-pavers, it will be one instance in ten where "authority" was influenced on behalf of the people, lie is correct when he charges that every Legslature has a new schedule of petit cases .osetul up to the higher Courts. It should >e just to the contrary of this. Jas. Turner was convicted for retailing iipior without license. Turner is eonductng a government distillery and has been | etailing in (teliance ot tue Act 01 isni. I'he impression with tho government listillors, (as they are called) has been that .hey could sell in quantities of three unions, or more, without a violation of the Unto law, and to evade what they con-! reived to be tho law, they lake a recept,! >r certificate, from tho purchaser to the >fl'ect that ho has purchased three gallons, I leliver a quart or any quantity loss than \ he three gallons, believing that the, oceipt, or certificate, from tho purchaser vould hold him harmless before the 'onrt.
