? The Press and Banner, A.BUEVILLE, S.C. Wednesday, June 7, 1882. i .I,. : i Bellevidere School Pic Nic. On* last Friday, with*a desire of!, spending a plea-?ant <iny in the coun-' ( try, we attended the pic nic given hy j > the Bellevidere school, taught l.y Miss J, Nannie Reyonlds, who is a you tig | lady of many accomplishments, and a: ( recognized teacher of ability. The j pic nic Was given in a beautiful grove ] ner Mr. frame lvenurs spmiK, huuui four miles fnim Hodges and near ( twelve miles from Ab ?eville village. , It was attended by tlie parents a*id j friends of the puoils, and by many young people from Hodges, Greenwood j and the surrounding sountry. The Hodges band was present, and dis- | coursed sweet music during the day. j A tasty and substantial stand had r l>een erected in the gmvc, and after | spending some hours ii< conversation, [ j and indulging in the amusements in-j * cident topic nics, Mr. Blake acting i] as master of ceremonies escorted Mr. |j llenet and Gen. Hemphill to tlie j ( stand, after music by the band, under j the leadership of Mr. Magill, Mr. j Hlake in a few graceful and appropri- j ate remarks introduced Mr. Benet, who addressed the ptifiils, on lessons ,| not taught in school and which hej j enforced with timely suggestions, g After him followed General Hemp-j hill, who is always ready on such oe-jj casions. and full of happy an<1 suitable! thoughts. After this dinner was an- j nouneed and all present joined in this|( feature with a .hearty good will, for | ithere was every thing sot forth that " could tempt the appetite, or please the j taste of an Epicure, ami it was here j that Miss Reynolds shone brightest, for it was conceded that with her un-1 j questioned skill in teaching the young idea AC., she had combined the art of > heing agreeable, and made a most ex- j p cellent hostess, she presided over the | table with ease and elegance, looking, v with unselfish eagerness to the com-1 j fort of her guests and contributing in j every way to their pleasuere. Yoward the close of the day the s, crowd dispersed, all voting the pic nic a success, wishing Miss Reynolds ami)], her scholars unbounded enjoyment in j their vacation, and thanking her pro- i( finely for the genuine and great en-j\ joy went that she had given us all at i |< the pic itic of the Bellevidere school, j j I The stands of cotton in Abbeville |A county, in many instances, are not as I _ good as could be desired. Many farm- { ers have planted the second time, and ;'' the plant does not grow in a satifactorv manner. Thechillv nightsand thelj absence of hot sunshine has not con-j tributed to the welfare of the cotton crop. This is, however, no special rea-!j son for discouragement at a time when j' our grain crops are so abundant. With j unprecedented oat and wheat crops, . And an increased acreage in corn, weIA think the Country is safe. The cotton , crop is usually absorbed in the stores, I j, and we think it matters little to the; ? 0 * * ' .?! ? kai kur lm iiiiq : welfare 01 me |>mmci ? mchci hc p much or little cotton.

His plan of accomplish- j h Insr the latter feat is to sow onts. andjtl wheat in the Fall, and to plant plenty j r< of bottom lnnd in corn and sonrhtim c< in the Spring. With plenty oats for v the mules and horses and a liberal' supply of flour, meal, and sorghum j ti for mm. with cotton to sell, the pros- ti pect is good enough.

Ci -? ? si We aeknowlede the courtesy of an invitation to attend the Commence- ? merit of the Columbia Female College t| which takes place June 18,19, 2-1 and |( 21,1882.

Barnwell's residence on Magazine Hill, adjoining the lot now owned by Cnpt. M. L. Bonham, anil will noon ti erect a dwelling. There is an increased acreage in | ^ corn in Wnite Hall township. Several farmers down there will probably make enough breadstuff* to feed thej. men and the mules that *.vork the farms. 1 u The oat straw which is now beingj threshed is invaluable for stock. Ev- [ ery stalk of it should be carefully t housed for the mules and cattle, that ) will be in ueed of it next winter. i We are going to get some of Mr. W. ^ N. Ransom's seed oats, and everybody j^, in need of the grain should do the j same. We are going to try our luck t on oats next year. , ANY one wanting to buy a comfortable dwelling in Abbeville should up- ? ply to the Press and Banner for infor- i mation as to where a good bargain U may be had. j \ The sound of the steam whistle is : heard in every part of the country. 1 The threshers are now on their grand , TVMirwIu rlninir llip omilltrV a ITTtat SeT- ! * vice.

The Chairman then Hiinounced tho} Convention as organized and ready for usiness. Mr. Klugh?There has heen a call j j isued for the election of delegates to I j ie State Convention. Oilier counties j ave made their seleetions, him! I link we should move in the same di- [ action, and I move that we now prosed to elect delegates to the State Con- j en t ion. > Mr. W. D. Mars?I think July is T me enough. This motion is prema- jire and we are not prepared for it. t requires deliberation, so that we -i hi exercise our preferences. This 'i uestion has teen sprung upon us, nd it may be that the Convention is 2 itcked. Postpone it, and give the ! unity time to think over it. so that > e can send men unbiased. I am op* used to the election to-day. Mr. Cason?I favor the gentleman's = t? vvu JI is nunn(y I'lrmoiuiv* ?? ? i ave had no notice that the election r 'ouId be had to-day. and the dele- j t itesfrom the country were unaware hi f the fact, and where is the necessity v T it. No intelligent reason can he asgned for it, because other countiesi |j ;ive elected delegates that is no rea- u >n why we should. There is every ason why the election should be ti )stponed. The candidates for Gov- () nor may be changed. Let us act in urmony. r Dr. Speer?Our club, when we met fi > elect delegates here, knew not one ji ord of the elec ion coming off to- v ly. We had no idea of it. It is not o Mown iu the country. This is the I usy sea-on. We had only four men s resent at the election, and we are not n re pa red for the election. We are of t ne accord that it is premature. Only ive us sufficient time to think about le matter. v Mr. Calhoun?One gentleman has a ated that there is every reason why e should not go into this election. I (. intend that there is every reason why s re should. Jt will avoid log-rolling, r he delegates here are fresh from the a eople. Now is the time to elect dele- t utes and it is folly to postpone it. t ther counties have done so, and we 4 lould do so also. Every question r tat springs up makes the people dis- a intented. Go into the election to- \ ay, and make no enemies. Let us V ? 1 11 mn our common enemy, anu si\t? jim ci f our powder ami vim for them. 1> c i ail insult to say that these delegates \ un't voice tlie will of the people. It | macks very much of log-rolling, and e ppears that some one has an axe to rind. t Dr. Speer?I want no discussion of liis kind. We had no log-rolling and ^ o axes to grind. Mr. Klugh?The gentleman says ne ad no notice that delegates were to he 2 lected to-day, ami in the next breath nys that they had discussed and canassed the matter, and were of the nattimous opinion that they didn't ;ant it. The call has b??en published j 11 tne daily and county papers, The ounty has hail abundant notice. He ays that the farmers are busy. I am lad to know it. They will be none he less busy in July, and will not urn out any"better or in larger forces ban now. The Convention is ready, nd now is the time to go into an elecion before log-rolling commences. I lon't want the candidates to stock the ,'onvention, but I want a straightout j inanimous choice. | Mr. Magill?I move to lay 011 the taile the motion of the gentleman from 1 'alhoun's Mills. ('apt. Rykard-1 move to lay the last notion on the table. He was ruled out of order. Mr. Kellar?The entire Smithvillc < lelejiation is opposed to going into the 1 lection, ] Col. Herndon?A motion to luy on ; he table is not debatable. Mr. Waller?I call for a constitution- , il vote. I The Chairman?Delegates will pre- J jare their votes. Each delegate has!] he right to vote a pro rata of the nu- .1 nerical strength of his club. Those H n favor will vote? I, Dr. Maxwell?If the gentlemen will vithdraw their amendments we can 1 leeide this matter on one vote, on Mr. , \lugh's motion, whether we shull fleet delegates now or one mouth ?ence. Mr. Parker?I think the course sugtesed by the delegate from Green wood s the proper one ami would ask the gentlemen to withdraw their amendnents so that we can vote directly on Mr. Klugh's motion. It will facilitate natters. Mr. Magill?I will consent, if Mr. | Mars will. Mr. Mars?Please state the first mo-J ion. Mr. Mars?I withdraw my motion' 10 that we can vote directly on the! iiiestioii, whether or not we shall elect i It*legates to-dav. Ca|?t. McGhee?I suppose the mo-: ion of Mr. Ma?ill was intended to cut! )ft" debate. Tlie question before us is m important one, and the delegates ?eeni to be evenly divided. I move hat ten minutes be allowed to dit-cuss be matter before the question is called. Mr. Aiken?I hope that one member "rom each club will express his views >11 this important question. Col. Herndon?I hope if the motion : s carried, that cue member will not1 consume the whole ten minutes. I ould make two or three speeches in ten minutes. Capt. Rykard?Ten minutes is too diort for the discussion of a question 1 io vital and important. We don't! want schism, and it seems that wel [lon't want debate. Mr. Mars?1 move to amend so that ten minutes will be allowed to any member to express his views. Are there individuals here who want to junto this Convention. We want time to make our preferences, and we will have it. I am no candidate. Mr. Graydon?I move that we go into an election. If we allow ten minutes to each member we might be here until to-morrow morning. I move to lay Mr. Mars'amendment on the table. Ten minutes is plenty long enough to discuss the question. 1 Cnpt. McUhee?Gentlemen of the;! Convention : I have no disposition to|< cut off debate. I think ten minutes is h long enough. If each member is ill-< ^ lowed ten minutes we might be here i for ten days or at least two days. 1 Those who are opposed to going into J an election, must have some axe to i grind. We have a full attendance and ' a large representation here to-day. ) Farmers will be as busy in July a* s now. We will then have fewer mem- 1 bers present, and those who do come, * will come in the interest of some candidate. Now we can have a sponiane- ' otis selection of delegate*, who are v pledged to no man, who will go to Col- j i umhia, and select the best men for our! J. (Jovernorand State otlicers. No? jt Mr. Aiken?Is not the gentleman >r out of order, ('apt. MctJhee is not J even con lining himself to the ten ? minutes. ii Mr. Waller?It is unfair to make ' tlic.se eh a ryes of improper motives. j Can't we discuss any question in tlie i Democratic party without these insin- 1 uatiousof having axes to grind. May i lie some in favor of this question have \ been grinding theirs for a week. Voices?Done ground. |i It is not right. This Convention j I will represent but one-ten'h of the 11 sounty, if they carry this question. I j t ippeal to the fair sense of this body i ! not to indulge in crimination and re- j,'.1 crimination, but yield to the decision 11 >f the majority. I expect to vote fr?rj* " ihe nominees of the Con vention, but i J] let the majority have a free expression ! i>f opinion. Discuss and argue. j11 Mr. Oravdon?No speech. This is " nit of order. n Mr. \V. O. Bradley?I expected to J?' make no remarks on this question. it( rite charges brought forth here are out jo if place. All admitted that those M' ...... ..ni-tiniiltir I N iri*M*ui ait: |iiniKi'n ? ' |<ihuv> i c lundida'e. The man that I favor for > governor will not receive n single vote *! ?rohably in the State Convention.^ fjet tis calmly deliberate the matter. Ir. These charges are heneath the dignity j?j ?f the Convention of an enlightened ounty. Now is as lax a time with he farmers as July, and let us in our issemhled majesty and might elect h nir delegates untrammclcd to place in J lomination a man loyal to the best in- J ? erests of South Carolina, and who| ivill cast no reflection on her fame or L lanie. Let us follow the other enun- I ies. keep ste(? with them, and march | o victory. Why delay? hi Mr. Aiken?This question has been1'1 sprung upon us. and we don't know j jj ,vho to send. I would like to know j ii vbo the Convention favor. Let us co , i"J lack, and make our choice. Start ven. I don't like to run a foot raccjn .vitli a man, who has the start of me. j1!

As for myself, T i *v liink there is no necessity of our go- jjj ti?r into an election on he spur of the i ii noment. Two-months hence is am-1" >le time. ji'i Capt.

The Registrar lias appeared in our \ township and disappeared, h avlng much of j his work unaccomplished. More time should j, have been given.

A ! { "iie'-'ro chance" was scarcely allowed, i \ claim to be contending under a banner un- ^ furled wilh the impartial Inscription Imprinted on its folds "e?iuul rights to all under the law." Too many trivial offences against the colored voters had a hearing Hint did not I properly come under the head of the registra- | ? lion law. The decalogue seems to have Ik en i' bin guide. Too much latitude whs given toj? "treason, murder, robbery ami duelling." Ills 11 palpable exhibition of Inattention l<> the col- J oreu element will have a tenure to augment1 n their political ire towards us and occasion in them to abandon their farnilni;operations an- i ' other day or more to try lo hold the right of 1 elective iranchlse that was given them unso-ie lielted. They went to the voting precinct to comply with a Democratic law and partiality j \ and indifference should have been guarded J' ugainst as much as possible. It appears to,1 me that we are nyt pursuing the right course i " to tetain good government and good labor:? combined. Labor is a vety essential deslder-1 atum forour country as well as good govern- j ment. Immigration, to a certain extent, is a 1 a humbug. Give me an ignorant neuro lor la- u hor In iireferenee totui outlandish immigrant, t We may look out for emigration among the v colored people next fall by the wholesale. It \ appears we arc operat ing against our agricul-' f tural Interest. A few liot-iieaJcd, thirsty of-11 tlce seekers will likely be benefitted thereby, c but the country as a whole will undoubtedly f sustain detriment for the want of sulllclent n available labor. 0. P.

I. Street Potatoes. [Southern World.} Continue to set out draws from the bed If thrifty and vigorous. Laier on, it Is better to plantoutlineslrom tlie vines,as theiatterderclops tubers earlier after setting, and they ni l beep better. Remember that the ground should always bo freshly plowed Just before ;o<tli?ir slips or cutUnirs. It Is r.iore t!:an 'q'.iivaleiii to a good working to s'art. them in 'resit mellow Mill.

The poatocs intended forscdshocH b*> grown from nt vines; s>t least it Is the commonly received opinion that the tubers thus crown, vi11 produce smoother, belter shaped potatoes lext season, and we think our own experience ustains the belitf. It is certainly true that ate smwn potatoes keep better, and this conideration Itself, is sufficient to justify ulteniou to this point. As this seems tobeayear of revival in farm- , ng?and by tills we mean a renewed ellorl to vturn toa wise and self-sii-tainlng system? w trust that. Southern farmers will grcitly ncreasc the area in sweet potatoes and exeiid tin; economic uses of thccrop. There are ew, if any crops gr.<wn, that wi 1 prod net* so arge a quantity of wholesome, fattening food ' or stock, as the sweet potato.

I ' ie Is generally we 1 satisfied to producc a six j j iioiiths* supply for table use. In our judgment the sweet potato should be jj he turnip of the South, in the sense that thejj titer is one of the most valuable crops grown n Knghtud.
