The Press and Banner, AMIJIiVILLK. S. O. Wednesday, Dec. 6,18S2. Sale D.ijr. Ah :i majority??:' our readers know, las? M today was Si!e Day. A jrrea' ciinvi! wis iu attendance at Abbeville, n11 I nitii'h property was sold. Tho property, wltilu maintaining comp irali vel v fair prieos, did not command tho liiirli ii^urcs which some prophets had predicted. Il soem* that our people are boirinoin:; to take a practical view of the impropriety of buying surplus or niiremunera'.ivo 'amis, anl are not uumin U'ul of t!? s fact that there are many immense bodies of land in this county which are not in cultivation, and which are bound to conn* into market sooner or later. This, together with our sparse population will tend to keep down the price of lands for an indefinite time. There is in consequence of existing facts, a disposition on tlie part of I many farmers to divide their large plan-! tations, and to sell oil" a portion to ??tiicr settlers. The lauds about Dun West Ilonea Path, although intritisical'y no bettor than the lands in almost any other section of the County, always command a high price. The tracts lying in that section, which were sold brought from three to ten times the amount that other lands brought. The Barnwell dwelling' on Magazine Hill in the town of Abbe- j ville was bid in at ?-,710 for those who of-j il'ered it Ibr sale. As is always the o:isc on Sale Day in December thero was the evidence of much whiskoy-drinkiug. We are glad to say, however, that there was no bad blood in the whiskey. We note this of the sales: The following sales were made bv the Sheriff: Estate James F. Crawford, 34 acres to j J. A. Agnew, $.>0o; -7 acres of same estate to J. S. Kltigh for $ %<). John Link Homestead, ?>0 acres to M. T. Link for $1,140. Capt. J. W. Perrin, administrator of Mrs. Jane H. Perrin, sold pa?t of the original Konville tract, acres to Miss! 11. C.

Christmas will soon be hero, and wo: hoj>o that each of us may bo ablu to give pleasure to some hearts that would other* wise be less cheerful and happy. It' we are unable to give substantial gifts to the deserving poor, wo can give their little children a doll, or some other little toy, i which will cost but a trille. A ten-cent j doll, or a dozen marbles, would atlord at neglected child a world of joy. We have i iu this community many children who have many toys, of which they havej grown tired. Let the parents of such j children teach them to be considerate of others. Thesy toys which have ceased to : interest or amuse presont owners might i be gatherod from garret or cellar, and! given to some neighbor's child, whose i parents are unable to make them happy j by gifts of pleasing presents. Look for j the neglceted children when you look be-1 vond your own household. * In connec- j Hon with this, we would urge lathers,; mothers, uncles, aunts, or others who are j fortunate enough to be interested in little j children, to be mindful of them, at the! time appointed for the visit of Santa t'laus. Do not let the day pass without! making the day a happy one to them. A ' little gilt would add greatly to the sum of j a child's happiness, and "tho neglect of J this pleasing custom may cause a pain to i his or her young heart. Grown people j might easily deny themselves of some little luxury or they might well enough J forego the comfort of some needed article,' in order to pleaso the little children on \ this, our Saviour's naU\l day. Hcmeui-: ber the children. The Election on the "Whiskey Question. Last Friday the election on tlm license question in the town of Abbeville came' off. There was considerable interest i manifested on the part of some of our citizens, while others paid littta attention to it. Quite a number of whites did not, Vote. The vote stood as follows: License 17"> No-License.. 01 Majo/lty for license 81 The whole vote was 269, of which 134 were white and 135 colored. It is said that a small majority of tho whites voted for "No-Liceuso," while a lartxo majority of the colored people vofod for "License." If this oloction has done no other good, i * it will bo the means of increasing the list of our tax-payers. The town clerk or treasurer has already issued executions against thirty-nine colored persons who have heretofore escaped taxation because of the oversight of tho officers or by the neglect of the citizens themselves to make returns. This will put about $117 of commutation money for road duty into the treasury. 1 m The Literary Club. Last Friday night the Literary Club met at tho residence of Mr. VV. A. Templeton | M. I*.

It seems therofuie that Mr. liaskin ucted in good laiib as to the time uf day The 8>-cohd charge against Mr. Baskin is that there was agre.it quantity ol good timber in the old bridge which should hare been used in the new. The evidence ?n this pdnt it that the lit w- bi idge is to be 80 feet longer than the old one, 19 inches higher and two feet wiiler,so that nearly ail of the old timber was too short.

Consumption causes many more deaths thull any other <ii.se;'.se, and any statisticsj bearing upon lis causes or theconditions ol its development are of much Importance to both ! the medical profession ami the public. With ! the view of obtaining iniormation concerning ' the etiology of the disease, ]>r. i'layter of To-! rontu sent out a list ol t> nest Ions to each ofi many hundreds of physicians having c ises in ! practice in Canada and the Slates ol New ' S'orU, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and | Louisiana. The questions related to the age, sex and general structure of the patients and to their ancestry, central hahils, ?&?;. About j i"0 physicians answered iho <)Ut"-tl<>ns, and the ltoctor lias made up from these 'S>". cases a concise report of much practical value. The | aver;i*e a?e of the patients was lit v ears, thlr-1 six per cent, were males and ttfty-lour per cent, were females; only twenty-eight | or cent, were married. The circumference of the I chest was in every ease much below the aver- i age of vigorous persons of the same height, being only tl irty-oneand a half inches; the' average h<-i|;hl beiiiK tive leet five and a half inches. Persons of such stature should have ! a chest ciicumfc r'.*n<-e of about thirty-seven | inches. About tlfty-flvc per cent, had light i blue eyesand light hair, and the nervous teni- ' peram en t largely prevailed. Two-thirds of] the patients had been enraged in indoor, sedentary occupations, and spent but little time in the open air. .Much the greater part of i them had slejit In small, unventilated bed I I rooms,.two In a bed, had not usually worn | flannel next the s kin, nor used habitually > any form of bath, and nearly all had been ' small or very tnoderale eaters, and used but I very little fatty loud except butter. The gen- j eriu nanus ni nearly an nan ncen goou, and but very few hail used alcoholic spirits to ox- i cess. In only thirty-six per cent, of the cases ! had ancestors died ot the disease, while three- j fourths had re sided in a locality favoring a j humid, cool atmosphere. Air. Piny tor draws some Important dedue-! tions: Marriage In certain conditions and' certain stages of the disease Is probably unfa* i vorable to the development and progress of consumption. Hereditary Is not of such conjs'.aucy and importance as a cause as appears ! to have been commonly believed, further! than In so far as configuration and structure! of the body, the re'ation and the relative size j and vigor of the different organs to each oth-' er are influenced by parentage? t.v., in a want | of general stamina from defective construction. With the small lungs and consequent imperfect respiratory capacity the individ-; uals could not consume enough oxygen to; utilize the digested products of a generous or! ' full diet, especially that containing much car- j 1 bonaceous matter, while there would be in all | ! probability accumulations in the body of un-t I used and wa^te substances which should have j been thrown oil through the lungs. The one \ means which u ill best tend to prevent the dc-! 1 velopment oi thediscasc in those thus predis posed to it is apparent enough; it is that of. increasing in early life by judicious physical ] exercise the size and capacity of the respira-; (tory organs. The Doctor draws attention to j j the desirability of taking into consideration | the respiratory capacity of patients suite ring , from tubercular phthisis before prescribing a! full or too carbonaceous (XlvU?Toronto (Cana-, du) Mall.

We think the Legislature??f South Carolina lj could not oiler to their constituents or to the j] country press a greater inutility than to pass v this law. If it was intended for the public a good, advertisements should he inserted in Jj the newspapers in the counties where the p Railroads arc located. If it is intended merely to exact tribute from these corporations to support their enemies, then we tliink the bill! no less unjust and insulting. Why omit the Greenville Sews lrom the list? That paper hits been as energetic, ft.id as malignant to- 1 ward the Railroads as any paper in the State, and for months poured its vials of wrath up-1' on those who have given us superb roads in j place ot the poor old rickety concerns which 11 our Charleston friends furnished us, and j whose trains were run for twenty years without any regard to our convenience, our comfort,or our benefit. This was true of the j i' Greenville Xeux, until within the last four or j live months, cilice which time we liavo not] I seen that Journal, but we presume that paper _ has not chunged Its tactics. From Spartanburg and Union come the greatest complaints because the Railroads do not discriminate in : their favor. The people have been most wonderfully stirred up in these sections. Then 1 why leave out of the bill the names of the I j, Spartanburg and Union newspapers. Is it! ( because they hail from the mountains? Why single out the Columbia and the Charleston ) papers. Is it because they are in the low- J r country? We take it for granted that no In-! J iclligcnt man in South Carolina would pre-! sume on our Ignorance so far as to say that: the best way to advertise to the people of Ab-; beville, Spartanburg, Union or Greenville would be through the columns of the Charles-! ton or Columbia newspapers. As a matter ol j 1 fact, the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad _ could belter advertise in the Aui/uxtu Citron-; tele und (Janntitutivnulint. The Air Line people 1 might Just as well advertise in the Atlanta I Constitution or the Charlotte Observer. We at- j taeh no blame to the Xews awl Cutirier for . this bill, but we think its silence mysterious. I The Xeies and Courier knows that the provision of the law which requires the publication i of the matters of all the Railroads to be made! in that paper, is unjust. If that paper only objected to this oll'cnsivc levy of tribute in Its! behalf, the Legislature would correct the bill ' . in this particular.even if that body in Its wis- J doni, should conclude to interfere unjustly j with the people who have given us a good! roan, ami cueap aim saio irans)>oriauou 01 ; passengers, and who have not charged us any ! | jnor thanChatlesion charged fur slow travel, disobliging schedules, and provoklngly delayed movement of freights. We ask our brethren of the press to note the / names of those members of the General As-1 sembly who vote for the clause In reference to i advertising If this clause Is passed, It may j be only a short time, until some sympathetic Senator from Charleston may introduce a bill! directing the county oflieers to put their advertisements ill the Xcws and Cuurirr, instead I of in their respective county newspapers. | We may yet live to see theShcrifl Sales, the!
