This, our readers i will remember as the Maddox murder ' case, and with which they are thoroughly < familiar, us this is the third time that ii | has been tried, having been twice tried i before, and inistiials entered on the roe- i ord. They were acquitted of the charg" of murder. but are still held t>> answer the charge of assault and battery with in* I tent to commit a ritpe, and assault and i battery, which will be brought against them at our next term of Court.

On Saturday all the prisoners who had been convicted wore brought hefore tho < Court to receive their sentences. Judge i Press ley delivered to eaeh of them, a i mild lecture eniliodylns some sound ad- < vice, and conveying some words of en couragoment.

L I'etor Samuels and Hertry Thomas who I plead guilty of breaking Into the store J J of Messrs B.Reynolds it Co. at Green- , wood. The Judge said they had plead L guilty, and thus shut out all knowledge |" ?:f the degree of their guilt, and he had j ( Inquired as to their characters and found , that they were both old offenders. Bur-;' glar toois had been found in their posses-1, sion, and one was an escaped convict. If j' they would put their hands to sUfch endsj^ as these while out of the penitentiary, he i' would have to put them up as long as ! j possible, but He Hid this with no good ' ..will, as he disliked to put his fellow men j' In such places, and was always rejoiced j' \vhen the jury could see their way clear j to relieve him of the necessity of it. jl They were sentenced to five years at hard j' labor in the peniteiltiarv. i - ' mi. ? feasant sillier,?arson. mc ?tnw,|. tol<1 hini that lip had been convicted t?f a ' Crime for which he would have boon exe- I ruted, but for the recommendation of thej < jury to mercy.

He believed him jyuiitv and that, ( Je^al proof had been adduced on the trial. |, There was no room for a reasonable jj doubt, and he had since shown himself to j bo a courageous and determined man apt1, to do anything. It had been proven that j' he had made threats and that he had the! strous will to carry them out. He did j not want him to think his life a hopeless; one. There was a chance for him. but if;; lie went to the penitentiary with the idea ' that ho could break oilt, he would be kill- j j od in tho attempt. He was a ydunar man : with a family and it was a dreadful and j painful thins to think that his future life , J would be n blank; that he would hold j < out some hope to encourage him. Go | and behave yourself, repent and try and ' be a better man, and the Governor on his 1 recommendation in the future, would , 1 show him mercy. Ho was sentenced to] the nenitentiarv for life. .11 Sheppard Moultrie, ? petty larceny , t stealing oats.

Marshall of (Jreenville. < At nine o'oiocl; the bridal party, hand- ' Homely arrayed in as beautiful garniture hs ever adorned the female form, entered I the building while the organ gave forth its measured notes. Places were occn- j pied around the altar, which was beauti fully decorated with leaf and flower. ( Wedding Jjell, and gracefulty curving arch added a pleasing effect. Brilliant [ illumination roVealed to the eye tho 1 graces and proprieties which delight tho senses, and win the heart. Tho scene of loveliness there presented could not have lone otherwise than awaken tlie great heart emotions in ihc breast of him who! has bo long worsbippod the divinities i with none effect. i The Rev. R. L. Harper read the mar- I rJage service. As gallant a youth as ever wooed and won a woman's heart, i and as fair a bride as ever rewarded worshipper at beauty's shrine, were then pronounced husband and wife.

A few friends who had been invited, assembled at the house of the brido'a father,,1 Major M. G. Zeigler, and spent a most; pleasant evening. It was no less an honor than a pleasure to be there. Among the wedding guests were Mr^ and Mrs. J. II. Averill of Charleston, i Mrs. E. W. Marshall of Greenville; Mrs. | 8. E. Graydon of Cokesbnry. The bridal presents were beautiful, valuable, and useful. The floral offerings were many. The exquisite beauty and refined taste exhibited in their ar rangement, attest not onlj* the culture of I the donors, but also boar testimony as to j the warm place which the bride holds in tho hearts of the good people of Abbe-1 ville, who know her so well, and who | love her so truly. She takes with her to her new home the best wishes of a host! of friends. The newly married peoplo; will go to Greenville this afternoon, I where their future home will be. May: health, happiness and posperity attends them. Greenville has no prettier bride, '; than the jewel which has just been won from Abbevilie. Justice to Journalists. Major A. S. Todd of the.Anderson Journal has been brought forward for the Legislature in his county, and Mr. D. J. j Carter of the Lancaster Ledger has been recommended by the Executive Committee of his countv as a suitable person to i fill tho unexpired term j.n Lancaster i county. Nobody hag done more to ad-! vance the best interests of the county and \ .pTO.TJOte its welfare than has the knights of the fifth estate,.and we are delighted te see their efforts appreciated, and their ability recognized; Where they have! contributed so materially in bringing I about good government, it is but a just return that they should enjoy some of tne honors, and Anderson and" Lancaster counties show that they appreciate the labors of their journalists and pay a very nice compliment to these gentlemen. Success to both of you. Solid and True* Another good name is brought to the attention of the voters of Abbeville county. Captain W. A. Moore, of Cokesbury, !s announced as a candidate for a seat In the Legislature. He is well known as a! substantial citizen, who is well informed as to the needs of every class of our people, and with a heart and mind with a single view to benefit thb public. Mr. Moore was once a Democratic nominee of the party, but it was at a time when Radical repeaters carried the day. Give the | Captain your vctes, and sleep the sleep of the blessed. A Negro that Was >Tot Killed. A few days ago a negro was observed on the side of the track of the Augusta I and Knoxville railroad. In his hand was a basket. As the train approached he "flagged" to the train to stop. As soon J as the tn>in same to a stand still, tho j tiegro Was expected to jump abroad, but instead of doing this he innocently enqnired|of conductor Twiggs if he wanted to buy his plums* Verdery. A new post office has been established at Asbury to be called Verderv, with Capt. D. *R. Williams as post master. That there may bo no tnis-apprehension of facts, we will say that the name was changed from Asbury because there was already a post office by that name, and the government required another name fbr the office. Only this and nothing morei % Ao Obliging Officer. Captain J. T. Parks, the Countv Auditor, has made arrangements by which the Auditor's office wiil be kept open ever}' day while he is out in the country taking returns. All citizens are required to make returns of their property before the 20th of July. The Matrimonial Swindle. Wo arc vorv much surprised to notice tbiit smno of our exchange** are^ivinp; their aid :?nd countenance to what wc Jeetn a "matrimonial" swindle. N"o crop Hint was ever pi mind i> worth more to th<? family than sweet potatoes. Let every family plant twice as much a> win DO ucetieu. I'jiioti^M van iiii-n in- ^mihi to pay all expense. If the "slips'' or "draws" from the bed can not be had in mflieient quantities, so mueli the better, if the early running vines of those which have already been set out are clipped ofl md sot. To cut the early runners does no harm to the plant itself, while the "clippings" make better potatoes than the original plant. Don't forget this. Plant two acres. SwcCt potatoes can be cooked in more ways than anything else, nothii2 is more palatable, and children are so >asily deceived with them. Give a hunrrv child a nice potato and bethinks he ihs something to eat, and is quite satisied. Wi: had a regular Western zephyr last Saturday. Trees in everv direction were iproofed, and in some instances houses ivere levelled to the ground. As far as ivc have heard no lives were lost. Mrs. \f. .T. Bell, of Htick Level, had her house injured by the fall of a tree. Messrs. Daniel Howard, Washington Green, Henry Williams and Wade Turner put fifty teres of oriirinal forest on TIard Labor it: cultivation, leaving tlio itrirer trees staining, after being killed. I,ast Stmdav the report came to us that over one hundred >f the trees so left standing were blown lown on Saturday. A large tree in Mrs; riiomson's lawn in town was blown lown, the branches of the top striking a mule. The negro dortged. Great minds riin in the same channel, md excellent newspaper men some times lake the same view of matters. For instance. Mr. II. W.Grady of the Atlanta Constitution, and Mr. 10. W. Mctjenna of he EtlgefiafdfMonitor decline to be candidates for office. We say they are right. The position of editor, if rightly filled is the highest and most important office of which we know. We would rather be a rood newspaper editor than to be President. Irish potatoes platUcd in July make the best crop. They may lie in the >.a*> mot* l?n flnrr thf?\r may be needed for use. Owing to tho severe heat the ground in which the summer crop is planted, should be covered with leaves or straw. If not eover?rl, the heat of the sun may prevent the <eed from germinating. Ourt people have done so well in sowing oats and wheat last year, that they Might tn sow more next Fall. Of course we need not expect to make as good crops mother year as \ve have made this year, but Common sense teaches us that we lucht to sow the winter crops, arid not ilepend too much on the summer crops. Irish Potatoes.?Let no man in Abbeville county neglect to plant a patch of Irish potatoes for winter use. If planted low the j-ield will be abundant, and the rop may lie in the ground all winter, rhe late crop is worth much more than ;he early crop from the fact that the early :-rop is much more liable to rot. We have hart the pleasure of meeting Prof. James S. Perrin,since his return "mm Prrmnoritv. So well did he serve hose people during the last scholastic rear, that they hsive elected him Principal of the School for the next year. This s a substantial compliment for a worthy iron tig man. Next Pall sow your best land in oats, ind if it is desired, corn or cotton, may ollow. It is quite a mistake to suppose hat cotton may not be planted in stubble. Hie fact is, that cotton does better when planted after the Spring weather has fairy set in. We have not liearrt a single complaint is to the crop of small grain. Nearly evjrv -acre that was sown in small prain produced a crop which would sell for more than the land is worth in the mar<et. This, it seems to us, should be satisfactory; Mrt. T. P.

Bradley, Jr., as post master. Thk wise farmer will plant an Irish potato patch in July, and will not neglect the swvet potato crop.

W. A. M. For IIic Legislature. Editors Press and Banner: The time is at haild when the people should begin to select the names of those best suited to represent ns in the next Legislature. We respectfully suggest as one of the number the Hon. P. F. Gary, ot Cokesbury. We* know that he has tilled the position acceptably. Already well informed as to the duties of this high position, he would, as heretofore, be governed in his acts by steadiness j of principle, high intelligence, and a! sincere regard for the best interests of the! people. He has shown himself possessed of foresight, good judgment and an | ability to grapple with difficulties of great j magnitude second to none. We wantj ilist such men to represent us. \ VOTERS. Ilow Mules Cauie Into Use. It is said that farmers of this country owe a j debt of gratitude to George Washington for the introduction of mules into general use for j farm purposes. Previous to 17K.'i there were j I very tew. and those of such an Inferior ordei j us to prejudice farmers against them as unfit to compete with horses in work upon the road Or farm. Consequently there were I no jacks and no disposition to increase the stock : but Washington became convinced that the introduction of mules generally among Southern planters would prove to them a great blessing, as they are less liable to disease, and longer lived, and work upon shorter teed, and are mlich less liable to be Injured than horses by tan-less servants As soon as it became known abroad that the illustrious Warhlngton desired to stock his Mount Vernon estate with mules, the King of Spain sent him a Jack and two jennets from the Uojal stables, and I.aKnyet le sent another jack and Jennets from the Island of Malta. The first was a gray color, sixteen hands high, heavily made and of sluggish nature. Hewas named the Ilovai Gift. The other was culled the Knight of Malta; hevasj about as hi?h. lithe, and fiery, even to ferocity The two'sets of animals gave him the most favorable opportunity of milking improvements by cro?K breeding, thR femill of which was the favorite Jack, Compound, because he partook of I he best points In both originals. The General bred ills brood mare* to these Jacks, even taking (hose from his family coach for that purpose, and produced such superb mules that, the country was all apog to breed some of the sort, and they soon became quite common. This was the origin of improved mules in the United States Abont Newspaper Tublisbers and Editors. i Mr. Charles I>udley Warner.of Connecticut, in an address before the Social Science Asso 1 elation lately had something to say about newspapers, and in the course of his remarks i lie said that publishers of newspapers had a risrht touppeitl to t|je public for patronage, in the way of subscribers or advertising, Just as merchants and other business men did. It was not right, he said, for publishers to appeal for newspaper patronage upon the ground that the public ought In support the paper; tint ihey had ri riuht to tflalm iliat the paper was worthy of patronage, and that, the public , would want it if they would examine H and learn Its merits and value. Speakingot editors Mr. Warner said: "An , editrtr has voluntarily taken a position in . which he can do a great deal of goed or a ' wwit (ionl of ptll nnd lie should be h?ld and Judged by his opportunity.

Russell, the Greenback apostle, was put to shame In Anderson county last week.: From the hitnlliycncer we make the following i extract of a portion of his speech: "He denied that the Greenback party wns i in alliance with ihfe Republican parly, or that they voted solidly with the Republicans in Congress in the Mackey matter. , Mr. Murray asked how the Green backers ' front the South voted. He replied to seat Mackey, and said lie be lleved In his soifl, before High Heaven, that > Mackey was as much entitled to his seat as 1). , Wyatt Aiken was to his, anil that candor I compelled him to say so.- He then charged the Democracy faith a failure to fulfill its ' pledges, but could not specify in what the! ) failure consisted. He next charged the party ! with creating a great many new ollic< s that1 are burdensome to the people.

He charged that the Legislators were! nttuenced byglvingthem free passes over the, 31 railroads, and said they all had them, asked ? Mr. Murray if it were not true.

Mr. Russell then I II said that he knew some members of the Leg- ! | lslature who had them, and when urged by " | Mr. Murray to tell who. he admitted that Mr. r | Murray was the only member that he knew lhad one.

Wii lilt; im-m iu'HIIm UMlll,\ iiiiiu Ul r,\i'ciicnu. iii kooI judgment may draw his own conul slons. Let us run over tliis valuable report and s what conclusion* may be drawn from ItFirst. as to the cotton crop. The stands a said lo be not cood in any section and tl plant isgenerally reported to tie small at looking badly. The whole condition Isrepoi ed at 87 per cent, to U2as compared Willi la year. This Is some 5 per cent, below la year's condition. We must bear In mind th; this report went only to the 1st of June at we have had since a fortnight of more geni weather. The condition, according to our Juitgmen Is better than we bad any right to expeel, I view of the cold nights, and even cold went er in the d i.v time, whlci> we had in the tiionl of May, really putting br.Hc the season iliOnth so ii* to give us average April wealiv in May. This. In tbecaseof cotton, has greu l.v embarrassed the growth of plants; co nights are promoters of the grub worm tit lice?tho one cutting out the stand, the nth dwarfing the plant, making it sickly-lookii and worthless and really adding to the appti cut bad stand. Itut we niitst not be dece|v< by appearances in this niatt'T. Cotton is plant which is capable of accommodating i self toan apparently bad stand most womlc fully, so that what would appear to be wretched stand at first, almost no stand at al will be scarcely observable by the middle .July, with uood after seasons, fair a vera: "ill ??? *.) trdr.il millll'iflliln Sill I 11 Is lito 111 iii the plant, j? mean, mangy looking litt stalk is capable of unfolding into a mitgni cent stalk, shoving out its limbs in case of Im-ilk in the stand. Dnd not only covering tl nakedness, Imt actually filling up the del cienc.v in yield when the stand is at all wit In a reasonable one. Every planter knoT this, ami so If there be anything like a star of practical force and meaning up to the 1st June the keep of the crop hnsmore to do wit the results than the look of the crop. It not every sickly looking baby Halt mak the wofse specimen of an adult. Now, then, if tbe keep of the fields Is goo we have nothing to look blue about. The months of June and July any way a tbe months that have the most, if not almo the whole, to do with the growth of the cc ton plant and It.s bearing capacity. We ha' had a splendid growing season, so far as supply of moisture is concerned, nnd who there, has been n loss of stand there has bet scarcely a day when that deficit might n have been supplied. Since Summer set In v have had fair average weather and mui more seasonable. Along with this the supply of moisture In been most timely and all that tbe plant could possibly rsk. The consequence Is, i any man's experience will teach him who is planter of steady Judgment and observnth coming to June jwlth clean, well-kept field r~l .. /.I.w ft'-.Hon ofnn io f>nntl IiIp making nil tho crop that tho soli, tilth nr fertilization will admit. And if our seasoi inatntaln^in tlic matter of moisture the snu extraordinary regularity which hasprevath throughout the Spring, we may look for booming report liy the istof July. The wnr seasonable days we have enjoyed since Kur mer set in have not yet begun to tell to thcey It takes eliiht, or loll days to see the effects a <-liaiiue in. the season. Our early corn suffered fr^.n thosnmecans Cold nights tend to Invite the bud wormju as eld, damp lands do. There is a great de ot come out in corn; but there .is thlsuifU ence between corn and cotton,?that it.canli accommodate it?'lf to a broken stand llkecc ton. Yet a great deal of this can bo reinedli by setting out the corn when thinning out tl standing hills. The condition of rice is A3 this year to R.1 la year. This puts us ahead in this grain by per cent. Our sweot potato acreage hns increased percent., which means everything with sn< a season as we have had, for we do not remei bera better one for potatoes. Our Harden products are as abundant and promising as wo ever knew. Our fruit crdp Is certainly fully an averaj one, and in some localities the best Cv 1; noivn. Our small grain crop now made, consistii ehlellS- of wheat and oats' is a most remark hie one. This Is best understood by c&mpn Ing It with previous crops. We take the avc age crop of wheat and oats given In theUr ted States Agricultural Department Repo for South Carolina in the years 1877, *78, " We And tho average yield p?r annum f three years Is: Whcyit i,'127,500 bushels; oa j,l-'!7,:Vl3 bushels. Alongside of this for tl present year: Wheat 1 ,7-I3.(S!W, or a tain 726,000 bushels. Oats 8,-179,o2S, or a pain of !)l2j000 bushels. The price stated In tho D partinent Report for wheat In 1879 Was 81: and o its cents. Putting wheat atOOcen and oats at 40 cents, we have a small gra! crop worth: Wheat Sl.5'19,050; oats $3,31)1,81 and aggregating S 1,901,S70. Our total whe and oat crop in 187!) at the high prices giv< aggregated 82,690,540. The fair possibilities we have at least doubled our small grain en in value at the greatly reduced prices above* timated for. Iu round numbers we have wheat and oat crop worth about So.OO.fX which is equal to about 125,000 bales of cotlo of -100 pounds each, at 1U cents; or to O.ti'X).') ousueis in corn hi iinn rnnns u step off \vc have made in food productloi and it is prodigous. Cotton Seed Oil. For the past ten years the manufacture oil from cotton seen In the.Southern Stat has besu one of unexampled prosperity, l'r vious to IS70 I lie results from the maohlnei then in use were not s itisinctory. Improv inents since made, have been such as to re der the manufacture of the oil and seed cal or meal an industry second to none in tt Southern country. The export of cotton so( oil in 1K71 amounted toSlfl.OO'J, In 1SS0 It \vi for oil S3,370,000 and for seed cake SH..1T7.0! The oil is principally used for a salad oil, being sent to France and Italy for manipul tlon and thence returned as olive oil. In tl Southern States It Is rapidly displacing ho; lard, it being superior in every way at much cheaper. By a ncw pi'oce-s the fine quality of butter is made, said to be.ei)ital all respects to the best Goshen. The sail patent covers the manufacture of lard. Pri of the butter manufactured 10 cents p pound and ' he lard '1 cents per pound. It Is also used In the manufacture of nitr clyeerlne. It is estimated that more tin S.utJO.OOO tons of cottonseed is available fro the cotton crop. Were it possible to tit Hi: this amount of seed it would yield In oil ar seed meal the sum of S5(i.7.5'?,000, Tins 57 mil now In operation used In 1S80 only 300.0 tons, and this only In the extreme Soiithci States. The cotton seed meal Is in great d mand in the States where fertilizers are use Its value heingthe larseamount. ol amnion from :i to 6 per rent. When the lint, the hi a"d the oil has been extracted, the meal is the best possible condition for lertliiziug ai for cattle food. 034 Husliels. The largest yield of oats to the rtcre on r? ord, in the United States, or the world, is tl crop threshed out by Col. J. D. Wyllc, la week. On V/Zacres, measured by actual ku voy, he harvested .">18 measured bushels. Ti oats welching 87 pounds to the bushel.) Tt aggregate in commercial bushels is 0V4, or 1 bushels to the acre.

In Kicbirtond. a Va? who was recently Mild to be stricken for' le telling falsehoods, was brought to a sudden II- termination Monday by the application of a h- galvanic liattery, Jimmy's mother, in tho rs hope of having him relieved of the curse put id upon him for Ids misdeeds, brought him loa of doctor. The medical gentleman, after a care-1 :h ful exaini .allon, at rtrst determined to try is the titled of chloroform, which was admlniscs tcred with the consent of both .Jimmy and Ills mother. He soon succumbed to the In- , d, lluenee of the powerful drug, but all attempts, 1 by sticking hlin with pins and other articles, C re to make him speak while under its lutlUence st failed.

At first the crauli was ot turned slowly and Jimmy stood the test man* ire fully, without eitlbltlng any slims of weak- n h enlng.
