The Press and Banner, ABiiEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, April 19, 1382. Wedding Bills and Orange Blossoms. Last Thursday evening was the occasion of a happy assembly of a large number of our people in the Methodist Church to witness the marriage o! Mr. liligene L. Wilson and Miss Wili lie T. Coogler of this town. The f church had been most handsomely decorated with evergreens, and the choicest flowers of the season were spread in graceful confusion. Curving festoons connected the arches, which were adorned with leaflets and opening buds, while half way between, depended the letters "\V." and nicely united as a monogram, and below that was the arch to which was suspended the "wedding bell" of flowers with its horse-shoe shaped clapper, urn) iimliir which the Itride and irrooin stood, while the bridesmaids and bridesmen surrounded tin* altar of the church on either side, as follows: Miss Annie Coogler and Mr. William Wilson, Miss Celestia Boozer ami Mr. John A. Harris. Miss Winton Parks and Mr. John II. Boozer, MR* Kate Marshall and Mr. Jas. I>. G'halmers, Miss Kitty Perrin and Mr. Met'rvery Cilymph, Miss Ella Penny and Mr. P. B. Speed, Miss Aylette Chalmers and Mr. Wm. E. Bell, Miss Mamie 11. I.awson and Mr. P. I). Mazyck. Rev. Mr. llar|>er. lead the marriage service of the Mrthodist church, and after receiving the proper responses, Eugene mid Willie were pronounced "man an 1 wife." A number of invited guests joined the bride and groom on their return to Mrs. Cooler's, where a most enjoyrr - ble evening was spent, in giving and receiving those pleasant little courteci?i: m'Iiifi> !ir?> to the liannv vountr /?- >, .7, v.. - - ~ , 4 w V ^ people as sweet ' As are those dulcet sounds in break of day, I That creep i:i!o t!ie bridegroom's ear, And summon him to inarrtu^is." A superb supper, tlie cutting of the bride's cake, ami the arranging ofl dream tickets, closed the enjoyment for ilie evening. The rin;? \?as properly won by a young lady who deserves ail the good fortune which it be-' tokens, but tin? button, which was ours by right, by some strange freak of fortune, was discovered to be in the slice of bride's cake which fell to the, lot of one whose sweet attractive grace! would lead us to believe that other fortune awaited her than that presaged ? by the button. This marriage was the event of the season, and has created a greater com-, I motion among the young people than any which has occurred for a long time. Tile bride ami all her brides^ maids, were the youngest of the young ladies of the village, not one of whom was eighteen years old. or who had ever before attended a wedding as bridesmaid. The bride and groom commencej Mfe with the brightest prospects, and enjoy the good wishes and hearty con gratulations of a host of friends. i May they live long ami prosper.

THE TOWN OF ARBEVILLE, ?! ? ' j And Some of Her Prosperous Biisines Men?Some Facts which po to Pro? that Abbeville is a (*ood Place t Develope Real Worth. While many of our you us; men hav gone oil' to other places, ami toothe States, and lmve in their new home met with varied fortunes, many o f those who have remained inAbbeviii have done veil. Of course in a littl town like ours, where money is made not by speculation, but by coustau and assiduous (oil, the fortunes ?>f >'ii J people are not so great, as tin* wealll which may have been von by a fev men of the srreat cilies, where so nnin i "gallant ships were wecked on tin rugged rocks." While it is true tlia i no vast estates have been accumulate) j here since tin* war, it is also true tlia: ; very few of our citizens are poorer today than they were immediately aftei tlie surrender at Appomattox. As ji whole our people are prosperous. \\\ cite only a few individuals to show flu .justice and force oi our reir.arKs, 1101 with the intention of giving uudui j honor t'? iiny, or ??f creating the impression that there are not within 0111 corporate limits a hundred other:equally as prosperous and fully as deserving of special notice: The Messrs. White brothers, than whom no merchants in thcup-country stand higher for integrity anil financial ability, commenced business aftei I the war without capital. Messrs. \V. Joel Smith it Son, have prospered as much as any house in town, and have recently doubled their business by opening a new z?tore. Mr. \V. A. Templeton came from Columbia and first worked for a final1 salary as salesman for Miller & Itobertson. Now lie is one of the firm of Cunningham & Templeton, and is the ownerofa handsome dwelling, besides his share of the money invoted in an excellent mercantile business. Mr. James A.

The Lawsons have made money without interruption, and are now as well oft" in this world's goods as anybody. Mr. John Knox came home from the war somewhat involved, and without property. (!ood judgment ami unerring business tact basset him on his feet anil lie is now a rich man. Mr. A. M. Hill was without a dollar at Hie close of the war. >>ow lie ami liis sons, Richard ami Henry, own some of the best property in town, and always have the ready money when a good trade is otiered. Mr. John G. Edwards of the firm of Wardlaw it Edwards, had nothing in 1S(m. ]{y business tact, energy and thrift he accumulated quite a sum of tnotiey, and is at this time junior partner in one of the best firms in Ihe town. Dr. E. Parker, full of energy and business taet, has done business in Abbeville for twenty years, and practiced medicine for tlie same length of time. These pursuits have never failed to yield a fair return. Mr. J. I). Chalmers, dealer in furniture and pictures, has contributed as much to the cultivation of refined taste, and the home comforts as any business firm in town, and in return J he has drawn handsome dividends each veer. Mr. VV. T. . Penney was without money, but for years has owned a I handsome home and has kept a constant supply of goods in store. He is one of the best druggists in the State, and enjoys the confidence of people and physicians. Mr. J. IJ. Baker served his appren*, ticeship at the carriage business, and I has so far succeeded, as to be able to I put up a good shop on his owuac-' counnr. Mr. Jacob Kurz came from Mt. Car-i mel some twelve or fourteen years ago, :?ud by industry and application to the business of tanner and shoe-maker, has made money enough to pay for a | tan yard, dwelling, anil two stores or j shops. Mr. L. H. Russell when lie came home from the war had nothing but J muscle and business tact. He has' now plenty of ready money, and is! Lhe owner of some excellent real es-1 late in the town. Mr. Pjnk Melhvaine is one of the, 4oli<l men of the town. ITu made sev-i ?ral thousand dollars raising cotton on | tlii? white lands of Sanluck, came to: :owu, invested with Mr. T. C. Seal in' he carriage business, utid bolh heaml Seal, are getting rich. Mr. T. C. Seal came from Long <[1anej >r Due West to Abbeville after the' ivar, and worked as journeyman painter. He is now the owner of as handsome :i dwelling as there is in town.; b.sides buildings, and unoccupied i building lots on the I'uhlic Square., Mq-'.'imii in Iowm _is_ on a better /ln;ip=^ cial basis. ~' " Mr. John W. Sign is also a thrifty citizen and has made money. The property of Mr. J W. Robertson, who came to town >incerthe war as u journeyman wood-work man on wagons, was sold by the Master a few months ago for $20,000 more than his liabilities Dr. II. I) Wilson is one of the prosperous men of the town. Beingau excellent Dentist, and possessing the confidence of the people, he does a lucrative business, and, while being one of the most liberal men in town, he still understands the art of accumulating something foKa rainy day. Mr. S. A. J'razeale. came from Anderson to Abbeville about ten or twelve years ago. without a cent. He is a good tailor, energetic and thrifty. Several yea is ago he bought a good house in town and paid the cash for it. When he left litre for Greenville a tew mouths ago, he cameo oil auoui $3,()(M) of reaily money which lie had earned in Abbeville. Mr. C. V. Hammond has lield bis place at the depot for a long time, and every year has increased bis estate, although no man in town gives more liberally to the Church thai, he does. He is a strict Methodist and follows the Scripture rule of giving one-tenth of Ins earnings to the advancement of the cause of Christianity. Mr. Joe S. Hammond has many of the characteristics of his brother. By industry and good business principles he grows richer every year. Mr. H. IX Keese, when he married, same five or six years ago, had literally nothing. Now lie owno a good stock of tools, a tine display of watches and jewelry which be keeps for ! sale, and has money enough to .-spare to build a nice dwelling house on Main Street. Dr. E. H. MelJride came to town oni Iy a few years ago, as poor as possible. He is now the owner of a stock of | goods which are paid for, ami he has paid half the purchase money of a j dwelling in New Oi leans. He lias made money right along, and has i more credit than he cares to use. ' Messrs. P. Rosenberg A: Co. are rich. They commenced about ten years ago ! with very little money. They now [ own real estate and sufficient, capital of ; their own to ?lo a large hnsiuess. ; Anions tlieyounger merchants, men j who have recently gone into business, i but who have not Jj-nd suilicietit time ; to prove what mkmus patent to all? j their assured ability to succeed?we ; would mention Mr. \V. T. McDonald, ! Messrs. Quarles& Co., M r. A. \Y. Jones i Messrs. Christian & Wilson, Mr. W. 1'. | Ward law, Mr. 11. B. Haddon, Mr. It. W. Cannon? Mr. Charles AucrJbach, Messrs. Miller Brothers, Messrs. j Parker & Hill, Mr. G. A. Douglass. I These gentlemen possess tact, energy, lability and the best business capacity, and each has a host of staunch friends, and if appearances would presage anything, the success of each of these gentlemen will not he less satisfactory ithan that, of those who have been !longer in business. We group these I gentlemen together only because they have been in business <u much shortei jtime than the others. If they ha<l 'started when the others did their suecess we know, would have been equal i to the best achievements of the mosl ' fortunate. Among the colored men of our town : there are quite a number who h?v? prospered. The following, and many {others, are the owners of real estal< in town: Mansfield Klliott, Lewi: i Richey, J.

Editor* Press and Banner: I have seen your comments on tho adjustment of the l<?sx of one Henry Kennedy, of Newberry, the former distin-l Ktiished Radical County Commissioner of! that eountv, whose pure and spotless roc- j fence at your hands; am! regardless of: tlio (a- Is in the ease* you decide the qties- j tion and abuse the Company for not paying what lie never lost. Editors should be posted on all points, J and especially when they comment on t h at jjleit ^ fi^rffr,-r.^^U.i i nj^. ;should at least inform themselves on tiie. fundamental principles of insurance,' I which have been recognized in thel'ouu* j of Europe and the L'uited States for near I one hundred years. , You would not be willing I know, to give me space enough in your paper toi p fint out all the errors yon have com-' mitted in your two editorials, so I will | , be brief. Remember my dear sir, Insurance Companies have rights and are enti- ] tied to some consideration, especially in. the town of Newberry, where they have paid over one hundred thousand dollar* to re-build it up in the last few years, j Remember there is such a thing as insur- j anco law, and insurance contracts and i that an insurance policy, taken by theas| stircd is a bin ling co itract, between him- j | self and the Company, and if you had ever read one, you would not have fallen ' into the grave error that so many do, and I put insurance on the level of * a wager. That the sum total of the matter is, the. I Company bets the assured that hi-; house ! will not burn, and if it does, the amount of the policy is forfeited and they must: pay it- . . . , ! -Now. that is your understanding 01 it, j j plainly Ion-shadowed in your paper. Let uie beg you not to remain uninform-i led any longer, when llie information is! i in reach. My friend, Mr. Dul'ro, or Mr.! I litanch will give you a policy. Read It! [and you will he a wiser if not a better] I man, and remember where there is a ! written or printed contract, verbal testi- j j niony is not allowed; you will lind, thati | a man when ho insures, buys indemnity j against loss up toaccrtain amount named : I in the policy. Under this contract, he I can only claim what he It would | | be absurd lo suppose ho could recover | what he never lost. lie can't lose, what ! he never had. Now what does'the poli-j jcy say on this point? They have been ] writing these policies about one hundred; land sixty-three years?long enough to j understand the business. Don't you j think so? In every one you will tind, aljfnost these identical words: ] "Hut in no case will this Company be ! liable for more than the actual cash value of the property, immediately preceding 1 the lire." | This little sentence covers everything and answers everything you have writ ten. tint one wont more, n you piease. J You say, "the Company may pi cad inability to value a house before it burns. | but, prove themselves adepts at figures I when time comes to pay." You will lind this satisfactorily answered in the policy. It is explicitly provided for. Just look I at it from a business stand point. You say, "get the value, before we insure." ITake this very case: Mr. (Mine charges ?15.00 for an estimate, the premium paid Company is just $15.00, the agents commissions is ?'-.25, the Company ttverelore, furnishes the papers, pays the postage, pays the agent ami pays Mr. Cline, in all | about ?17.50, and receives in return ?15.00 lor the premium and runs the risk of j paying 91,500, if the house hums. What I a glorious thing it is to insure for the Company Why don't you start one I yourself? It will pay handsomely umh?r {such direction. It is a fact, and you know, or ought to j know, that many of the towns in this State have been built up by these swhij dlmy insurance companies, as you call i them. Who is the best judge of the value of a ! [ house? the owner who lives in it, or the ' insurance agent, who never was inside, i and perhaps never saw the outside? Who > commits the fraud, if there is any? thu J owner who comes to the agent, and asks j him to insure his house for two thousand I dollars, when he knows it is not worth t over ?1,-00 or 91,500, and when it burns, [ i fraudulently claims from ?500 -to ?800 on I his owr. fraudulent valuation? or the ^ j agent who accepts the owner's valuation of his own property? As a gentleman I and an agent, (and as agents we do not pro;jl>ose to insure anv other: but we unfortu ' nately mi>s it oft?n.) hedcceiveslheagent j! as to the value of his own house, that's all I honest and fair, but when the Company j j refuses to pay for this over-valuation, thc.v I are all rascals.

In ISS!) tho elee-j lion iri Indian:', was carried by money, as j well us the Slate of New York. No j honest and truthful republican who knows anything of these two States, will I deny this. They only claim that a man] has a right to sell his vote, and that 'the party or faction that controls the t!ie mon-j cv has a right to uso it in carrying an election. It was the direct result of such [ practices that led to the assassination of] tJarlield. The dominant party had j taught i's followers that might made I right, and that power and office obtained by bribery, fraud or violence, was justifiable, so'tho country was saved. ' (iui-1 lean's logic was as good as that of the' electoral commission that counted in Hayes to save the country. Arthur audi tho members of his Cabinet chosen by j himself, hold their "accidental" o(liens J obtained by tho lottery of assassination," which is only pushing to the extreme; the general principles on which the par-i tv has been acting. Here in South Car- j olina the democrats have been following j (lie load ?>!' their republican frioiul.-t. j They have no barrels of tummy to buy j votes with, and the\' did not have the! strong arm of the general govern nent toj help tiu'in out. So, in order to save the State, they resorted to certain devices,! which, in the opinion of some persons, i are not worse than the purchase of votes, { or counting in a President not elected, or j assassinating the choice of one faction to I place in power the choice of another. Itj is singular that in all eases the politicians; claim that this dirty work is done to save1 the State or country. It wo.ild be sad to .see these managers of elections and voters of tissue ballots in our State severely punished, when thev were, perhaps, act-. ing under the instruction of some of the i politicians who are sharp enough lo e>-! cape. Of course the voters of tissue ballots j and managers of elections acted under], orders which thev did not dare ignore,: they could a fiord to violate law and their oaths but could not disobey the "bosses."
