hero on similar ockkkuh for th<- last four
months, though quite a number of per-|

of thceouuty. There bcim; no s:iles,
and our farmers hcinir very mueh lte-j
liinrl with ilii-ir work, hundreds remain- '
ed at lioiuo to speed the plow, or to do
other work which would advance the
farming interests.
Peace, sobriety and good behavior]
ruled throughout the day.
New Harness Shop.
Abbeville still lives sind grows. A new
harness shop has just been established
on the Public Square, where everything
in the shape of harness is made and sold
ht the lowest living prices. Straps, buckle*.
rings. bits, screws, and whatever els?
belongs t<> harness are also in stock. Kv- I
ervthing from a hamestring to a pair of |
the Ilnest carriage harness, can be had of
Mr. C. J. Newman, at his shop, where he j
5md Mr. Xorrell may be always found in
business hours. Give him an early call.
Of Interest to the Ladies.
Spring approaches and every lady will |
want a new dress. To have it beautifully j
made is of the first Importance. For
this reason we would remind our readers
that Mrs. Taggart is still in the millinery
business. Her skill in tlie art of making
handsome dresses is so well known that
we feel sure that it is only necessary to '
remind our readers that she is ready to j
make the handsomest dresses in tfiej
quickest time, and at the lowest prices, j

We have received the Hon. D. \V. Ai-!
ken's speech delivered before a conven-!
tion called by the Commissioner of Agri-I
culture, January 2:?, 18S.I, to consider the 1
of A rriciitfnr.tl Kdllcatioll." and
rublished by the DeDartnient of Agricul-i
nro from tho Government Printing Of-1
k flee at Washington. From that speech
k, we have taken some paragraphs which \
will be read with interest l?v our people j
P*5-'
The wealthy darkies about town now i
have an outlet for their surplus change, j
There is a machine on the public square i
Which wo shall not attempt to describe'
particularly, but which if struck by an j
immense mall, will send up in the air, aj
long board with figures mi it. Thodar-j
kie pays a nickel and strikes three times,
and then retires, to give other opulent!
citizens an opportunity to exercise liiin- i
l self. The strange part of it is, that these I
people will pay five cents for the privi- i
lege of striking three licks, when the'
same men could make eighty ccnt-s a day j
by striking lo^s in a new-ground bottom
on Hard Labor Creek.
Catt. M. L. Boniiam .Tr., has gone |
to Greenville to try a ease of damages j
against the Columbia A" Greenville Rail-j
road. Ill May 18S1 Richard J. Davis, J
son of Richard Davis, who lives near!
New Market in this county, was killed j
by being knocked off a freight train at
Golden Grove in Greenville county.
Young Davis was a hand on the train,
and was killed while in the discharge of
his duty. The suit is brought bv Richard
Davis as administrator of his son, for
damages in the sum of $20,000.
Sickness of President Kennedy.?
The public will lie sorrv to learn of the;
serious illness of President Kennedy of
the Due West Female College. He vas!
taken sick last Sunday week?the most,
incloiriotif d:iv of the vear?after foiil_rto
go church, and has been siek ol" pneumonia
over since. While hopes of his
recovery were eiitertniue.i iast Monday,
yet his friends considered him very ill.
Miss Whitkiivrst of New York an
Accomplished milliner of eleirant taste

Smith & Son's where she will be pleased
to offer her services to the ladies of Ab^

' very highly recommended and we-bcspenke
for her great success and have no
doubt she will give perfect satirfaction to
her customers.
Wb hope that those who would make
paupers of the while children of Coltiml?ia,
may read the account of the colored
, people's entertainment to be found in an-!
other column. The colored people of
this town, by their own exertions, keep
tip first rate schools, and do not asl; to
have their children put on the pauper
list.
Mr. James Taooart, of the Calhoun's
Mill settlement died la-4 Friday night,
after a short illness. He was h man in
the middle of life, and an excellent
farmer. He was a good soldier in the
late war, and many friends will be sorry
to hear of the death of Little Jiin Taggart.

Thkre seems to be a difficulty in settling
the question as to which is the
"light of the moon." Some persons con
tend that "the Iiirlit of the inoon is from j
new moon to full moon." Others contend
that it is "from full moon to new:
inoon."

! At tlie Second Presbyterian Church.
Colored.
| A>? tiit a 3*0:u* ;i-X'> sovor.i! co!on d men
! in Abbeville \\ ii ? formerly i::i<] belonged
j t? tI)o Presbyterian Church. toi
nether ami determined to provide a place
I of worship for themselves and any oth|
crs who mi'zht wish to alliliate with
them. I'mil then there had been only
one colored chnr-*h in town, the A. M. 10.
Success attended their < ll'orts. Money
was Collected, a Ixiildim; lot purchased,
and tlu? work of erection beynn less thalij
a year ::i?o. Now the buildim; is almost
I completed, and with its tasteful belfry
it is ;m ornament to tho town. With
wise forethought a school room was built
at the same time under the same root'.
The founders of the church have been
|equally successful in obtaining the services
of an intelligent, well educated
and zealous pastor, the Rev. I). W. Williams,
who was educated at the Howard
i University Washington. lie has been
' ministering to his llock with great snei
cess ami acceptability. adding constantly
to its numbers, until now there arc over
[a hundred members in connection with
the Second Presbyterian Church. We
| understand that fourteen new members
joined last Sunday.
Hcllcving that the school is the handmaid
of the Church, these colored J'res-|
! byterians opened a school in connection '
I with their Church, and here again good
fortune attended them. An educated:
well trained teacher is as necessary to a
school as is a pious and educated preach-,
fr to a congregation. And the colored
Presbyterians have reason to be proud
of their teacher, who is the wife of their i
minister. Mrs. Williams, like her hus-j
band, was educated in Washington at the
Howard University,and for several years;
before her marriage she was employed as
a teacher in tho public schools of Wash-j
ington. W e only wish every colored
school in South Carolina were blessed |
with as highly educated and competent a;
teacher. She is assisted by Miss Maliala
Henderson, who has had considerable
evncrioiire also as a teacher. Under!
their charge tlio school has succeeded,
well, and it deserves to succeed. Tim pa- |
rents liavo not waited for "local taxation"
to help them, but out of their scan- j
tv hard-earned wages they have been
able and willing to pay a small school
fee. Let other colored communities, and
white ones too?Columbia, for instance?,
t ike a lesson and follow their example. |
It is of no small credit to Ablxvidle that!
all her schools, white and colored, are |
supported mainl.v by the voluntary payment
of school fees, without any hclpj
from "local taxation."
Last Friday night, the children of the!
school gave an entertainment in the
church for the benefit of the church?j
funds being needed to plaster and complete
it. They were assisted bv several I
friends in getting upa very excellent pro- j
lirauime. In spite of the inclement j
weather, the largo building was tilled
with a well-dressed and most orderly j
company. No meeting could have been
better conducted. The walls had been
decorated with festoons and (lowers, H"d
the building was well lighted. The numerous
performers :?11 did their part well.
The recitationsand choruses of the school;
children reflected areat credit on the)
teachers. The music was good, especially
a trio, "Whispering Hope," in which
the soprano, alto and basso all sang with
ta-tc and sweetness.

Mary Sawdust on the Course.
Tin' burning of the cotton factory of|
Messrs. Dal I is (V. Scar It's has deprived j
the county of an excellent industry and j
lias imposed a heavy loss on two capital |
men. The factory was situated on Little
River, opposite Searles' Mill, and was
ivorth about ten thousand dollars. The
fire was accidental. There was grim humor
and a touch ol pathos in the remark,
made by one 01 the firm when he was
told that the factory had been wrapped in
flames ard buried in ashes, "all!" said
lie, "we'll not know any dilFerctiec one
hundred years to-day."
There was feeling, intense feeling, in
the telling sentence uttered 1 >y several of
tho "humble poor" who labored in the
factory, "we are ruined now."
The "people of the Fork" seemed to he
much exercised over the Sa\atinah Valley
Railroad. The depots and towns that
promised to spring into existence, as 1?v
manic, have been indefinitely postponed
by the tardiness in building the road.
I he roa'l promised to "lap 0110 ot the
lipst sections of the county, and open up
n tine trade with Augusta, Ciu. Some of
Lhe people are trying lf> solve this question,
"whether the country or their pockpt-hooks
has been tapped." It is a very
nice thins*'t'? "tap" sections of country,
md open up a growing and populous section.
hut it is anything hut niee to subscribe
to n corporation, simply to ho "lapped."
Poo's Raven may not have beer,
us successful! in his
"Tapping at my chamber door."
The writer does not say this is true of
tins road. Far he it.
The Savannah Valley Railroad is not
the only source of trouble to the Fork,
the bridge that spanned the river being
down, they are often shut off front communication
with the towns that li<> along
the Knoxville and Augusta Railroad.
This crossing is one of considerable importance
and the County Com mi-sinners
should do something to alleviate this
evil. It is true, a flat could he placed j
here, but it would only in part meet the
case. The place, people and times demand
a bridge. A certain preacher, that j
lives on one side of the river, and has at
church on the other side, is often troubled
about erussing. A few Sunday's in |
tlio past, he resolved that he would meet
his appointment, though the river "rolled
broad and strong." Alter some Iron
hie he was "put across" in a batteau, I lien
ho went to a friend's house to fret a conveyance--it
was gotten ? a fine start was
made, hut only a fine start. The horse
suddenly decided to move backward and
no persuasion could cause hint to change
his inind, until the buggy springs were
broken and the preacher standing on lev- !
ra fir via shaking a bruised, bleeding]
hand. Then sadly, the said preacher, |
"footed it" to the river?recrossed?a sad j
disappointed man. Now it looks funny |
to see a man in such a plight, hut to realize
it, there's no fun or reason in the case, i
Here is a nuisance that cost a preacher.;
church members and a neighborhood
trouble, disappointment and pain. Is
there relief? Will the county still allow
things to continue as thoy are? The noble
board of commissioners I think, believe,
will answer "No."
The late article by your friend, Mary [
Sawdust, has been the means of bringing'
a beautiful boquet. from an unknown;
source, with the "compliments of the!
ser.son." For years I have been writing
tor various papers, but never before have
I been the recipient of such an appreciated
present. Would that I could sec the
donor, that I might return the compliments?not
of the season?but of Mary
Sawdust. To receive such a boquet stirs |
trie iceiin< ?, stirs ttie love, stirs tnc oo*ire
to close for fear I might never receive another.

McCormiek, S. C., March 22, 18J>3.
Mcvormick to (he Front.
To-day the merchants of this place
throw the largest spring stock of poodsj
ever thrown upon her market. Prices
cannot he rivalled by retailers in Augusta.
A young man from Columbia, S. C.,
states that goods are retailed ton per cent,
lower than in his market. The news may
(lash of lower prices, above and below
us, but the sweet tale-can only be told by
a short visit to our town which every
one has found by a limited experience j
The triumph of its sales has already fired
the spirif of the richest and poorest man j
in the universal country and bursts upon j
the public mind like the roarings of a;
thousand thunders. The son of Mr. j
McCormick passed through the other
day and it is said that it is his intention
to build several new stores and a macnifi- j
cent hotel which will accommodate an
immense number. It is only when McCormick
speaks the towns nearest her,
dread tho trembling report which will j
follow, 'Tis she who is the poor man's i
friend, the rich man's father and the1
country's salvation. It is natural for
every man to look to his own interest and
every son to look to his father's advice
when he knows his is faltering, then
why not friends and comerades, why not,
visft tho fountain from which comes
water, rich, fresh and free.
Messrs. W. O. Sturkey and P. L. Sturkey,
whose names were neglected by
mistako of typo setters in our last ibsue, j
.
pimmwm? ?mmi tii ii? ii
have a stock at present that lias no equal!
on Hit* A. iV K. Their calicos arc of line
rich colors and amaguiticoul lineof other
goods tlia ought liy all means to be advertised
in some paper and this I think I,
can bring them into. Let all the goods j
in the place be advertised in one of our !
county p ipers, and 1 think no otli ?r pa-'
per will be none suitable than the /Vcs<
<in 4 Hun tic r. It's circulation is.wide and :
tin- editor is a nice man, good writer ami;
will lix up everything promptly and:
satisfactorily, and this I wish to impress.
The ladies of McC'ormiek are organizing
a regular missionary society. Mrs.
; Sturkey and .Miss Lizzie Harmon are persuading
every young man in the whole
country to join them. The Baptist ladies
are all doing the same and they are all
busily engaged in the great work ok saving
the heathen world. .
i B ith ehiirehe-.. Baptist and Methodist,
; are being worked on and will .si)')ii lie
i ready for an audience.
I Several young ladies are now on a visit j
! from Kdgefleld, lint will return home to- I
|d;ty. Mis>es I'eak, TucKerand Reynolds
! are the ones paying us a fly in;; visit.
; Mr. A. A. 'i'ravlor, the etlicicnt depot
agent, is in good spirits and attending to
his business promptly, and has more
really than he ought to, owing to the fact,
that the freight is overwhelming, and
taxes hint to his trumps to know what to
do. He is <i niee man, good conversationalist,
and the friends whom he has
won can never he separated from him and j
they are without iitimiier.

On last Sabbath l)r. Furman, of Oree'nville
dedicated the Baptist ehureh at this
place. Ho preached an excellent and a
very appropriate sermon from Acts X,
33. The Baptists have now a church edifice
of which they might.justly be proud.
An elegant Brussels carpet gave the building
its "coh/> dc grace."
Mad dogs, mad cows, and mad lings are
subjects of conversation and discussion
in Ninety-Six. Sevcial weeks ago Dr. ,
Blake had a hog, and Mr. M. B I>ips-i
com h had a cow, both of which were effected
with all the symptoms of hydrophobia.
The Doctors, and other eompc- J i
tent judges, pronounce them genuine |<
cases.
Dr. Sanders is the champion potatogrower
in these parts. He raises 200
bushels of sweat potatoes on less than an I

Mr. J. N. Kins raised last year, two,
thousand bushels of turnips, some of!
which weighed as much as twelve pounds 1
each. He took the premium at the State
Fair for the largest and best turnips and ,
potatoes.
The Knichts of Honor is flourishing in [

Honest Journalism.
I C/i rixt itin .Vc i;/h bur.]
We are a whole convert to I he doctrine that
an honest man? one who gives God. man and
dumb stuiin: l.s ail their due?is the iinhh si
work of God?honest journalist- nt the head
of I lie list. The temptation* to di*h<'iie>i\ in j"
journa l-ni are many. About as near a* we !
call coinc in describing an ho. est journalist
is this: A iiiati?tliccours'-of whose pen? II.e i '
print of whose types?is in no wise a Heeled j ,
by the fear or favor of man. by the lo<s or i ,
uain of money, or by the d- crease or inert a-o ! i
of subscritiers. A man ihat truly care* for
the rights ef the I'reaior and his creatines, j'
carina not whether bis life l.o roii'jhand short j'
or suiootb and long, provided it is right In the ,
sight of God. j'

the agent had Informed him the road was not i I

He said he ordered a straight ticket and!
tendered a dollar in payment, receiving back j (
5 cents 111 change. Fhat he then placed lilsj
baggage in the first-class roach and went Into
the second-class coach, where the eonducterj ,
took up his iieket. He remained in tlie i'
second-class coacl until lie reached Whale'
Branch Trestle, at>out midway hetwcenYeluassee
and Beaufort. After being seated i
there awhile, the eonducter approached tilin
and told him he must go Into the secondcluos
coach. That lie did no into said secondclass
coach at the request ol the eonducter,
who treated him courteously, even carrying;
his bat-'cuge for him. Judne I'ressley lu cliar:;ing
the jury said, that to his mind the damage
sustained by the piaintltl seemed to lie the
difference between a first-class and a secondclass
ticket, 10 cents. The jury failed to agree,
and a mistrial was orderecf.
