Fhe Press and Banner, ABBEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, May 3, 1882. The Host Farmer in Abbeville Comity. We had a call last Saturday from Mr. W. N. Ransom. who has lately been appointed Trial Justice for Magnolia township. Mr. Ransom is a man of energy, ami is a good fanner, as the billowing linnres will testify", and tliey are correct, for wo obtained the facts directly from him. He farms on the Haskell plantation and plants his improved cotton seed by improved machinery, and sows oats hi the best kina of land. For instance, he1 has twentv-tivc acres that will make' twenty-five hundred bushels. HealSoj has tiftv acres which will make fitly! bushels to the acre. If there is a man in Abbeville county . who can beat these figures, we shall be glad to hear from him. Mr. Rinsom's energy and excellent judgment in the or cUiinry affairs 01 me lias orougm mm , that success which enables Ititit t'J increase in this world's goods.

Wiat Railroads Do. r^hnrJnttf There is no institution in America which is so ronndly abused us the railroads, and yet there is none to which this country owes so much in the way of development. The Railway A^e, published in Atlanta, in a long and interesting article on this subject, concludes thus: "The railroads have wrought the revolution which has been accomplished befoie our eyes. Half the cost in money of travel, and seven-eights of the time* are saved, in effects lenthening in manifold the duration and increasing the capacities of life. The products of the farm are now worth as much at the farmer's door as they previously were after being hauled a long distance by his teams. I,and 200 miles from the great lakes is worth from $40 to $75 an acre. A thrifty farmer ch'j become rich it; a few years by the sale of the surplus of his farm, which, but for the railroads, he could not sell at all. The handsome farms, the tine school houses, the elaborate churches the comfortable dwellings, the thickly planted villages of the whole Northwest, are the direct results of the railroads, wtiicli have made everv countv accessible and con venient for settlement. There are thirtytwo million acres of land in W isconsin, which, taken as a whole, have been increased five dollars per acre, or $100,000,000 in the aggregate. This land is assessed for taxation at $500,000,000, which is less than half its actual value, and it might also be said that every dollar of additional valuo al?ov? ten dollars per acre has been placed upon it by the railrords, which carry its products of grain, stock, lumber and manufactures to distant markets, which they would never have reached but for tho iron highway. | Abbeville County Club.

Sl'KKCIt OF TUK ItKTIKINO CHAIRMAN*. Judge Cothran, the retiring Chnirinan, then rose from his seat, and addressed the Convention as follows: '"Gentlemen of the (bnventinn: I have ctlled you together for the purpose of organl/.lnu; the Democracy cf Abbeville county again f r victory.

RESOLUTIONS OK ItESPEf'l TO THE FORMER CHAIRMAN. 0. T. Calhoun?Mr. Chairman, I have a resolution. which I wish to oiler b?*fore We make nominations tor county Chairman?a resolution which I hope every one in tills club will acijuiesce in, wuen the question is put, by a rising vote. Whereas, Judge .las. s. Cothran.our late County Chairman, lias been called to high otticiul position, in consequence of which he has thought proper to decline tint nomination tor re-elicMou as our pi e-iding officer. And, whereas it Is the seme of this meeting that he Ims ever presided with impartiality,dignity an j ability, and has .successfully guided the Democracy of Abbeville county through two campaigns, thereby rendering va uabic services in behalf of Democracy and good govj ernment. Now. therefore be it rei-oi veil. 1. That we tender him our heartielt thanks for the services lie lias rendered us in the past asourCou.ty Chairman. I & That in his eleva::o:i to tli# Bench Hi" State has gained an honorable, upright and lt-arned Judge, and ttie Democracy of Abbeville county has lost an able leader. Chairman?You have heard ihe resolution. Has it a second? Ail who favor it will rise tn their leei. | \\ ith one accord, every member rose to his feet.] Chairman--The Chairman of each delegation will hand in the names of the delegation 1 and numerical strength of their clubs. K. U. Uraydon?What will be the rule In reckoning the numerical strength of tlit , clubs. Some new clubs have been organized. For Instance. Coke-bury has organized a club 'composed of members who formerly belonged j to HikIjcs. Will the vote of llodges be Uj strength In 1K.S0, or the number as at present I euro.led? j Chairman?That la a question for the coii' venttnntodec.de. 1 think, however, the old roll has been the precedent. O. T. Calhoun--! desire to oiler the following resolution: VOTINO STRENGTH OK CLUBS. Resolved, That, where the c'elegates to thh club are not informed as to the present no j meiical strength of their respect i ve clubs thej shall be allowed to vote the strength of tin j representlve clubs in 1SS0. ! J. T. Parks?I would oiler an amendment tr the resolution of Mr. Calhoun, that tlievoU betaken upon last year's numerical strength j O. T. Calhoun?The amendment which Mr I Parks has oflercd to my resolution may work j great damage to me of the clubs. For in stance, the Abbeville club, No. 2, last yeai jvotid (W members. Now we have lit). Mi ! resolution was meant to give a fair represen | tatlon lo every club. It avoids every existing difficulty. My motion has nothing tnori I than what is right and Just- and right 1 do' mand. ! K. (J. Graydon?I mnlcea point of order thai I any debute on Captain Parks resolution Is oui i or order, as he made ouly a suggestion, am : not an amendment. j Chairman?1 understood Captain Parks ti otfer an amendment. j Captain Parks?I did offer an amendment Captain Kykard? I am opposed to Mr. Calj houn's resolution. Not. one-third of my ciul knew anything of the meeting to elect dela gates to tills convention, and Mr. Cnlhout 1 would throw out two thirds of our strength. W. u. Bradley?I think captain Itykaru ha! 'misapprehended Mr. Calhoun's motion, lit does not mean to exclude clubs that have a: cert-ained the number of their members, bu lie only refers to clubs which have not beei: able to asceitain their number. Thisresoiu tion gives them a basis of rcpresentaiion When new clubs have been formed.and aclui ! list made out they should have the benelit o their actual strcnuth. t). T. Calhoun?There nre eontinnal change! In the membership of theclubs. Forinstance about fifty members of Abbeville No. 1 havi Jo lied Abbeville No. 2. Would it be rliilit 1< require eiich of these clubs to vote tiieir rorin er strength ? i Capt. Rykard?I object to that resolntloi ! because 1 think all will not haven fair chanw under it. ! E. <i. (Jrnydon?I think the gentleman fron Kmlthvllle entirely misunderstands the spiri I of the resolution. Although not more thai I one-tliird of his club may have been p result ! at the reorganization,tl e club will be vnlltlci ] to its strength, as In ISSO, And so with al j club* whose memberships has not been with drawn. i M. L. Ronliarn?As a representative of Ab bevllle No. 1.1 impugn ttie motive of no mni tint merely in a business way. ask for a lion tide list. We are withholding our list untl this question is determined. C. A. C. Waller?I move to allow club N( ( I. and club No. 2. ot Abbeville. I'okesbur | and Hodges to hand in the actual number ( their members. aBMMK Dr. F. F. Oary? I move to lay Capt Parks resolution on the table. \V. II. Parker will yon allow me to say & n few word*, before that motion is put t i I)r. Gary?Certainly. 1 j W. II. Parker?I hope no notion will bo I InUen which will Injure or benefit any par-J ' ticular candidate. I am in favor of an honest, I lair count, and am governed by no predilee-j It ions for any one candidate. lam therefore, j in full accord with the resolution ot Mr. t'alhoun. I am opposed to the resolution (If the I ,j so-tieman from Greenwood. Each club; '' should be allowed to vote iis actual numerl- j ; eal strei.gth?nothing mor<>, nothing less . I ('.A. C.

Parker?I do not undetiuand the reso'j lutioii to mean this. The proper plan is to ' vote by the actual numeriea strength?to .j count only tho^e members whom they know I to he members of the respective clubs. In I the case of Pokesbury and Hodges clubs they | ' oIwmiM I'nti. anU lln? IlllililiUI' ihi'V' llflVf* IIIV itualivon tlifir rolls. The Hodges club has 1 no right to hand in Its last years membership. j which wns ;C>, minus the S2 members repo; t' j c*<l in the Cokcsbnry club. For there arc n ; j great many members who have as yet sign!-1 , licit no clioicc, and arc as likely to join one I c!ub as the other. ! K. < . lira}<lon?I think the gentleman from ! 1! Abbeville No. I, is entirely wrong on this; 'point. I'ntess the member*of tlie Hodges club dignity their intention to join the Cokes-1 bury club, the presumption is, that they still 'intend to remain mem hers of the Hodges j ! i club. Cokcsbnry claims Si members. There-' I lore llodges is entitled to a membership of; 1 j :!2i. minus S2. ! A. >1. Aiken?I think any rule which ap- ] ) plies to one club should apply to all. The j |: clubs No. 1 and No. U of Abbeville have been j 1: confined to actual known members; Why i , not apply the same rule in the case of Cokes-! J bury and Ilodges. We have as much right to j jsuppose that the members out in the field! , I will join the Cokcsbnry as the Hodges club, j [ (.'apt. J. T. Parks?I atn sorry, gentlemen, that I ottered the amendment. 1 would rath, ercut oif my right arm than create n breach J 'In the democracy of Abbeville. .My friend j 'Calhoun entirely misunderstands me. God j knows I wish he had live hundred men in his I ! elub. Capt. T, W. White?So far as I can sec and | hear, the sentiment is one. except in the ease j of four clubs, vis: Abbeville No. 1, and No. 2, j I Cokesbury and Hodges. Club No. I has not! di*ne as Hodges (litl in discounting me mem-| bership. and thereby tilling up its ranks, but) we have can vassrd and made every member i | signify liis intention. The same rule should i upplyto liotli wises nowbeloreus. It seems very unfair to have one rule here, and another at Coke-bury. Cokesiiury has canvassed for S2 memhers. and Hodges should report oili ly tho.-e incinticrs of whom they arc certain.! I K. <i. Ciiaydon?It seems to me the two cases j ! are entirely different? if a iiihii only wants to I sec?but it he does not want to see,he cannot i soe. I am perfectly willing for clubs No. 1 | and - to vote the memberships they have can-. vasscd for. befcuuse they have existed for a long while. Hut at Hodges, up to a lew days | : ago, there has been only one club for the last ! six .yoai's. So when some of the members! dissent and forma new organization, those j members who do not signify their actual in-! tention of joining tlie new club, should be I . considered as members of the old club. Dr. .1. I). NcW?1 move the previiiiis qnes- i tion. We have had discussion enouell. Dr. K. K. Ciary?I think it would he well for j ("ckesburj and Hodges to retire and decide , the matter for themselves. Thej ate till in | favor of the resolution. President?I will read the resolution ngain. 1 It isas follows: | Itesolved, That where the delegates lb thisj club are not informed as to the present nu-1 I merlcal strength of their respective clubs they shall be allowed to vote the strength ot their respective clubs in 1SS0. j Chairman?Are you ready to vote? | Capt.

Maxwell. our | present siate Senator. toTTIt lli(Ht.pn UilU tifPT i poitant position of County Chairman. , It Js usel.-ss for me to say anything In his | praise. Our retiring Chairman has well told | you how faithful and how valuable Senator I Maxwell Was to him in the memorable cam| palgns of'78 and 'SO. He has filled all positions faithfully, honestly and squarely, fie is ! now our Viec-I'resldcnt, and it i< but due to I his past earnest endeavors and efficient ser! vires that we promote him, and invite him j onesiep higher.. i Capt. M. L. ItonYain?Mr. Chairman, I beg leavi to he permitted to second the nomlnai tion of Dr. Maxwell. And I am moved to this j course, sir, by my knowledge of his eminent J titnoss for the position of County Chairman. The pre-requisites for a uood presiding ofllcer i are fairness, firmness and promptness, and those who know J. C.Maxwell will bertr me out In the assertion that he possesses these qualities Hut our County Chairman Is not simply a presiding ofllcer. Fie is our leader 1 in a political campaign.and his prerequisites i must be nerve. Iho power to move and Infill* I ence men by his personal masnethnt and the strength of his eharacter, and wilhal he must j he distinguished by that quality which Is ! known as judgment. I)r. Maxwell has these I ill an eminent decree. Said a distinguished I member of the Senate tome: Senator Max| well has as much weight and miluencc as ! any man in the Senate. Ills views and advice are always sought, and his Judgment and I good common sense, and his high character [command the respect and admiration of the Senat?. Hut, Mr. <"'hairmnn, there are special reasons why Dr Maxwell should be elected. He Is the First Vice President of this club, ami entitled to his promotion. Has he ever shirk' cd 01 neglected a duty ? On the contrary, sir, I know that when others slept, he swooped i down upon llcpublican meetings, forcing I thein to divide time, lie has been faithful ' and etllcient, and it has always been the poli> cy of the Democratic party to reward and ad! vance such servants. I Mr. Chairman, the object of calling the County club thus early was to prepare for I Registration. Whatever we may have j I thought of the wisdom of the enactment of j {that law, however it may or may not have ; chimed in with our views, it is the law of the j land, and the next election must be c.irried ; utiiler Its provisions. I have too much lallli j in J lie high intelligence of the people of Al?, hcvllic, even to believe th:it they will ever on:danger good government uml Democrntlc {success through opposition to the ltc<l>trutlon law. Now, sir. Dr. Maxwell Is thoroughly familiar with all the details of this intri| elite act. I have heard him expound and exj plain its provisions, anil I tell you that if I made County Chalrnvtn ho will carry the i next election beyond the shadow of a doubt. I And he will carry it sir, without subjecting j the young men to the dang-r or beliu drag iged before the Inf.nnous Bond at Charlest-m, it to be persecuted by the more infamous Mellon, and it may be to languish in the cells of ! Albany penitentiary. For all these reasons I ;! say,sir. Dr. .Maxwell should be our County , Chairman. j Voices?"Gary." "Gary." "Gary." ; I 0. T. Palhoun?Mr. Chairman, I rise to place : | in nomination one who needs no eulogy at | my hands, one whose voice has been raised in behalf of Democracy and good govern-I I ment, on the stumu In every campaign since 1870, and whose patriotism no one can dis pute. i have nothing to urge against thcijentlenmii who has just been nominated nor will any one dispute his patriotism and Intelligence,but I have this to say In reply to the gentleman " who has seconded Ills nomination. I'hat there ' j Is no precedent ticre for the election of the i first Vice-President to succeed the retiring } I chitirman. Quite to the contrary. No (lri-t t Vice-President lias ever Ik en made Chairman > of this club. I think therefore that part r>f his argument falls to the ground. As to that part i of liis remarks which, referred to the Registration law I have this to say. That I doubt ; not the capacity of the gentleman, whose . nomination he has Just seconded lo properly ' understand thislaw In fact, It is quite simple, I and 1 do not see why any farmer of common j sense could not master its contents by read1 Ing it once, and I am sure that llie geutleman J whose nmnc I am about lo mention, will - be able to understand this law. He catnc ! here a lew years ago from his home In Cokest bury to pursue the praciico of the law when l such men as Judges Thomson, Cothrun and 1: McGowan, and the Hon. Arnilstead Burt j weteat the height of their professional glory, > | poor,and without strong fi iends to help him. : lie sprang, almost with one bound, to the front . rank of his profession at the famous Abbe v 111? iiar, n iiiun in wuiiu m uuuw m mv ); Stale. You all will agree with me, thnt this -;gentleman will l?e able to master this lu?v, i ; which Hie gentleman thinks so hard to |comprehend. The gentleman whose name 5; I will now call, and who is so well 'j known to you all, lias acted as Sccreiitiiry of this club during two campaigns, t and never was absent a single day from Ids i 1 post, but like a good sentinel, was evei here, -1 watching and working for the cause of De. j mocracy. The gentleman to whom i havercf> jerenccand whom I now nominate for the pof sition of County county is Col. Kui-ene B. i Gary. He Is thorougly familiar with the s workings of this club, and is well acquainted , | with parliamentary law, Col. Gary lives at s the Court House, and I think all will admit > that tlie County Chairman, for the convenience jof all. should reside at this place. In conclusion, I would stale that Col. Gary has never ) asked political preferment and I trust he will e receive your support for tlie position of County Chairman. i I \V. o. Bradley?Mr. Chairman, I rise to sect ; ond the nomination of Col. Eugene B. Gary, i I have nothing to say in disparagement of t i Senator Maxwell. Senator Maxwell Is able to I preside over the deliberaiions of this body, so 1 Is Col. Gary. Senator Maxwell is competent., - and he is also loyal to the Qemocratic party, ! hut Col. Gary is equally competent and loyal, i- The etlo: t to sandwitcli the Keglstration law i, Into this election is perfectly absurd. The a Supervisor of Registration Is to go around iljand attend to that matter, and if lie cannot (explain the law, then It is his fault, or the >, j fault of those who had him appointed. It Is y not a matter to be considered in this election, jf i I thereby wish to make honors easy, hence I i arUe to cccond the nomination of Col. Gary. I He Iff active, he is able, and lie ! ? loyal to tho | Democratic party, ami under his leadership wo will march onward to victory, assured j and complote. !
