In reply to ono of our duns a flolin- j
qnent sends us four dollars?two dollars I
for arrears and two dollars for advance;
^lavment. And what is better than all he
pays the paper a high compliment, by!
saying a good word for it.
?' A trnmp and beggar passed through!
Abbeville recently with letters of rocom
inemiu(i<>n from various weJi-Kuowii t it-;
izens of this Stale?anions them appeal's
the name of a former Rector of Trinity:
Church, Abbeville. If we were allowed I
to remark on the matter, we would sug- j
gest that ministers of the gospel let beg-i
*:ars and patent medicines alone. We
/" HVTrrte"tTTaf no man of good repute is jus- ;
tilie.l in lending Ids name and influence j
to tho advancement of such frauds to the
injury of honest unsuspecting people.
The friendj of morality and religion [
might do a good work by exterding the
, circulation of the Axtsocinle Itefonneii,
Prcxbyterian. ]t is not too late in the j
season to gel new subscribers, and a kind |
word in behalf of the paper might lead |
other families to supply their homes with '
good religious reading at a very small
cost. The Picxbytcrian is really a good!
paper, and one which should be taken in '
i every family.
Think of Tuis.?An editor of a paper'
I does not expect every one will like him I
personally?that is an impossibility; but!
r ^ / he does expect that each business man is
going to give him credit for what he does
in building up the towns in the county.?
I Exchange. We would greatlv prefer to
l>.n-n iloiinnncittu tn settle arrears. It is!
immaterial to us whether we gel credit or
not on n job of town building. Delin-j
quents by a ureat .stretch of tiie imagination
may see the point.
Thk mass meeting of delinquents at
the Pr&ss un<l Banner office last Sale Day
was reasonably well attended. We will
bo glad to see the absentees at any time.
Come si.on. Don't stand back. Keinember
the old saving, "Bettor late than
never." The right way to say that is.
"Better never late." \\'e know if delinquents
knew that we are running against
tho Barnwell Sentinel that tLey would
come up to a man.
T It would newer and a single diadem to
8ny simple-hearted gudgeon's starry
crown, if he were to give away his whole
estate to the beggars which beseige him.
Beirgine is hard work, and requires the
expenditure of muscle, and tho exposure
of tho person to bad weather ami bail
treatment, and hence our people should
not encourage thriftless, trifling people
I to go into the begging business.
If the citizens of Abbeville were to
onlta/.rilw tj\ owrv nnndiil that is ma.tft i
L _ upon their lil>erality, no man here would
E have a cent in six mouths. This matter
of beggars Hn(l begging unpora is pelting
I to be an intolerable nuisance. If a little
I more honest toil was applied by the di>[
tressed, to their own relief, there would
I be less causo for others to give grudg-i
ingly.
Clean and ditch evry foot of bottom
land. The bottom land in Abbeville
County, if put in cultivation, would make
corn enough for two counties like Abbeville.
J.<ot us make arrangements to rnise
l a full supply of corn and bull dogs?the
corn for our own use, and tha bull dogs
. to set on the beggars that approach our
bouses.
Mb. Thomas McGkttjoan means bns'
iness in Abbeville. He has swung out
gome well painted signs in front of the
Palmetto Saloon on Washington Street.
| The best thing of the kind being the PalI

by Mr. D. B. Glyinph, of Hodges. The
thirsty may find every kind of drink at

Six Weeks Corn.?Heretofore the
great trouble with our fanners has been
that they have raised six weeks c<>rn.
For instance, they have generally eaten
in six weeks, all*the corn that they had
raised in a j'ear. Six weeks corn will
ruin any farmer that plants it. Fact. '
Charles P. Pressj.y, Esq., of this
county, has established a law-office in
Augusta, Georgia, where he is prepared
to attend to any business which may be
entrusted to hiin. He is well known to
our people, and we have no doubt that
they will find in hiin a good lawyer.

What are we to say of the halo and
hearty male be^Rar who I teats an honest,

this town a few days ago?and there is no
law which would authorize tho sheriff to
arrest tho scoundrel.
If any man thinks that running a news,
paper is a pic nic, let him try it. If there
is a business in the world which requires
all of a man's energies, while taking all
of the self-conceit out of him, it is the
printing business.

A County Sunday School Convention.!
Editor Prexsnnd I!<n>n< r:
The subject of Sunday Schools, and
Sunday School Conventions, is attracting
the thought of the age. The question,
'are they beneficial ?*' has become fi>s>il.....I
Tlir> 111:111 that would I
hesitate t<> say that Ilioy were beneficial, j
would declare by his hesitancy that lie
was straggling behind the times. Thinking
men see in them a powerful lever fori
the uplifting <>f society, morality and the
church. This power is seen and felt, I
widely to-day. The influence for good is>
seen in the reformatory and training j
work that has been done for the young
ami the old. Many that were wandering, |
l;ke stars loosened from their orhits, j
have been brought to see their true stale,
and have returned to society anil the
church, t*> become zealous workers. The
work of international and interdenominational
committees, conventions, ami
these auxiliaries held in States and counties,
havedoue much towards uniting the
"tribes of Israel." For years Lie curse!
to Zion has been, that each Church felt it |
to be its duty to slaughter all who could ;
not pronounce its Shibboleth. Through '
the influence of tho Sunday School movement
light has been shed upon the relation
that should exist between the ditfer- j
ent sects, and they no longer regard each j
other as enemies, but as brethren. Thei
preacher, or the Church, that would injure
.1 si>ler Church, bv word or deed, is
very ignorant, or a long distance behind
the time. Time, nor vour valuable space,
will not allow me to outline even in the
111 cage rest manner, the gond that lias been
accomplished. The ?uimiiiiin luniom is
still in tiie future. The Interdemmiina
tional Sunday School Convention of ."Souin
Carolina, wiil meet in the town of Newberry
during the coming summer. 1
have consulted ?vi111 several leading citizens
and they inform :ne that this county
has no regular "Interdenominational
County Sunday School Convention." I
writ*? this, to agitate this important subject.
We should convene such a convention
in April or May. In that convention j
we should plan for successful work ami i
also elect delegates to represent us in the i
State Convention. I would urge the pas-1
tors of the various churches and the Sun-j
day School workers of the town of Abbeville
to meet, form themselves into a>
"committee of the whole," make out a
programme and issue a call for the meeting
of such a convention. Some might
think it is too early to begin w>rk?this
is a mistake, for the call for the meeting
of* the convention should be made two
months before the convention meets?so j
that everv Sunday School, even the onej
that is held in the little log house in thei
darkest corner in Abbeville county, will
he represented. Let a plan like this, or
one similar to this, I?e adopted.

This is a simple outline of tlie plan that
should be adopted. I would not advise
even the adoption of the al?ove, but let it
be the frame work on which the commit- j
tee will build theirs. In arranging fori
[the convention by all means, name the
I topics and the speakers, so that when thej
!convention is convened everything will:
I move smoothly. If this convention is
! conducted in the riirht manner, its ititlti- (
J ence will be felt in the quickening zeal of
! everv Sunday School in the enmity. Kvjery
delegate will carry back the "(laming
j torch of knowledge," that will lighten
up, and drive away, the mist that hangs
1 darkly, coldly, over many schools. Let
us have the call, the programme, the eonI
vention. J. THUS. PATH.

Editor.* Prc.ss ami Banner:
As it has now been some timo since
! your valuable columns have been dotted
! willi incidents connected with our s?cI
tion, I ofl'cr you a lew lines lor publicn-j
i tion.
McCormiek, the chanipion little town
and pride of the A. & K. K. It. is situated
about flirty-three miles from Au!
gusta, and twenty-liye from (Jreen|
wood on the C. it ti. It. It., and is des|
tined to become the leading merchatililej
! fort on the road. At present, if i mistake
| not, she has shipped nearly three thousand
bales ol cotton, and a hundred and I
j twenty thousand dollars worth of goods
have been sold. C\ tton wagons are as
numerous some days as they can possibly
be. can hardly pass each other in tiie
streets. Not only is she proud of her far- j
liters with their heavily loaded wagons!
and produce, but she boasts of her solid
merchants and genteel clerks; also, her I
magnificently constructed buildings. Ev-|
|erv store has been newly and beautifully |
; painted by Mr. Story, an experienced j
land skillful painter. The leading nier-i
i chants are Messrs. Corlev, Dorn, I.ud.
wick, Cothran ?fc Co., and will be a nuin- j
, tier of others soon. The merchants are
I not only trying to make it a great nier-j
j cantile fort, but a religious as well. The
; Baptists and Methodists have Sunday
j Schools and have preaching three times a
month. The singing is charming and delightful
under the supervision of Mr. I*.
I L. Sturkey, the superintendent. All en[ergy
is now being expended to its utmost
extension for the uurnose of erecting
both churches. \Ve understand that
i Mr. McCormick has riven ?200 to
each church, also lots on which they may
, rest. Hurrah! for Mr. McCormiek, may
; he live long while he counts his millions
j around him and feed, the countiy with
such rich donations. An election took
place on the 17th of February, to elect
j tow 11 officers. Messrs. Sturkoy and Andrews
were presented before the public
| for intendant. The Hon. I*. L. Sturkey
was beaten l?y one vote out of a population
of something less than two hundred
inhabitants. We wish Mr. Andrews
much success and may he rule with a hot
jiron. Several gnaiio agents are at McCormick,
Messrs. Harmon and Cothran.
We hardly think it necessary for the farmers
to go to Augusta when McCoriuick
. an sell goods as low us they can buv
them in Augusta, and what is the use in
such expenses. AH visitors will find it
1 pleasant and entertaining at McCormiek.
It is our intention to have a Sunday
School celebration in May, and some of
j the young ladies may look out for invitaI
tions and buggies to drive up to their
door. Rev. J. T. Pate will conduct the
; exercises of the day. Speeches will be
i delivered on that day. Mr. C. W. Creighton,
of the Edgefield Bar, will doubtless
be invited to address the audience. The
; young ladies ou^ht by all means to come
l and hear the young widower speak. Mr.
A. A. Tray lor lives in the prettiest manision
in town and any one wishing to buy
11 will do well to apply.

Public Schools.
Editor Prefix and Banner:
As I see a great many articles published
in your most vuluaple paper in reiiard
to the school question, and as the
public schools are often spoken of in
your col u in lis, 1 thought I would write n
short cc intnuuieatioii on the latter.
The public schools, all must allow, is
abhorred and sneered at by a great many j
would-be wise men, who care not lor J
educational pursuits nor the good ofj
mankind. Money, gambling, strong
drink, and many othei evils too numerous
t?> mention are their sole objects.!
Tlie.v never wish to send their children
tosfhool except on the pubiio fund.

sometimes denies the righteous j

mistakes that ho iPust rates to his fellowinen.
The greater jxirtion of the crimes
<?1 nur day are torn milled by illiterate
men: "Educate men and you keep
them from crime.*'
Now, I mu>t put in hero, that some
men like the public schools as long as
I hey have children to s?-nd to them,
after that they curse. Raying that there
are certain men m ollice robbing the
country to educate tho negro and the
poor white population. They have forgotten
that their children's education
owes its origin to the humble public
school. Ye?, in truth, a great portion of
it, too.
I beg to bo excused, as I am intruding
on good nature and occupying too much
valuable spu?*o, but I must say th:vc the
public schools isa blessing toour country,
tor the sake of its poor sons and daughters
; and should liv continued, at least,
ten months in the year, instead of four or

A Remarkable Land Slide on Little
River.

Rev. Joseph Shank, who lives down on Little
river, and who Is well known in Wilkes
county, tells us of a most remarkable land
slide on tlic river hank on his place. Itoe*
[cured during the recent wet spell. At the
rointat which the slide occurred the river
bank Is a host twenty feet above low w a' "r
mark. A hotly of earth one hundred and fifty
feet long ami foriy-ehthl fet wide, slid from
WilKe; Into Mclm/He county; or raiher It1
slid into the river and changed the current j
entirely. The most of this slide !? Intact now, j
and the entire river Is <111 this side of it, 1
when as it was formerly on the other side,
j This ?-lide parted lioni a Held that was planted
I in corn last year, and tools oir twelve e?>rn
rows and ei^ht or ten good sized trees, one of
Itlie trees measuring two feet In diameter,
j Most of the trees are now standing erect, hut j
I they are in MeDuiTie county. This is certain-j
ly a very remarkable land slide for tills part j
of the country.
Mr. Shank says he has-seen a number nfj
small land slides "on Little river, but ewr lie-1
tore, one equal to this. He says that they j
sometimes make a loud rumbling noise and;
can be heard for a long distance.
