A book like the "Dixie" which find.* so| l-nn/li- <i coin in n m-ll-Lwl crowded With took and iceeipt books of every stvleand j Hizc must have some solid merits of its, hwn upon which to base its popularity.! The press all over the country and everybody who has used it, without an exeep-j tion give it unstinted praise. And the J 1>est praise of all in the increasing do- : tnand for the book. The key to this pop-j ularity is found in the fact apparent to j toll, (who examine the work,) that thej "Dixie" supplies a positive need of thflj ft Southern matron of to-day.

By Irall'-past eight o'clock, a very j f laiiro crowd had assembled in Waller|< Hail to witness the closing exercises of!' Miss Wilson's school. Miss Calhoun de-j' livered tlie Salutatory address. Her ad-j j dre-s ww brief, but concise, ami was i well deltveted. She said the exercises of;< our school are now about to come to a 1 close. We have labored hard within the;' past few mouths, and often we feltdis-l, couraged and almost ready to sink under i the work assigned to us by our teacher, i' We often felt that she was too exacting in i| renuirintr so much of us. It waa for onri' good that si 10 was thus so exacting, and ; now we feel fully compensated for all! our labors. We sincerely thank her for j having taken so much pains in teaching i us, and for being so kind to ns. Her aim ' has ever been to prepare us for the many duties of life. Wo will always cherish | the remembrance of our teacher and her; name shall ever occupy a warm place in nur hearts. After the salutatory address.: the "Coronation" took place. The stage had Leon beantifijjly decorated and a throne had been erected ; a bright little hoy and girl made their appearance upon the stage, when the forms, after a very appropriate little speech, crowned the lat- j ter queen. Then several young ladies, | and quite a hum tier of boys and irirls; eatne forward and after making short, ap-j propriato speeches, presented their royal; majesty with many beautiful presents.! Wuon the speeches had ail been made,: and the presents had been donated, the queen in a very pathetic manner thanked her subjects for the honor they had so, lavishly bestowed upon her; and wished them long and happy lives. The third class in Geography then recited, after this a class came forward that represented the "Thirteen Original Colonics." Iti regu-. lar order, each gave a brief history of the; State which he represented. Besides | these a number of other recitations were, made, all of winch wcro very goon deed. W hat surprised 11s most was the; rapiditj' with which the pupils made cal-| illations. Several good essays were read, and a number of dialogues werei spoken. The Greenwood Band was pres-} cut and played between each recitation. The Valedictory address was made by j Miss Wells. Tliis address was indeed: good and was well spoken. The exhibi-1 tion was certainly quite a success and re-j fleets much credit alike upon teacher and! pupiio. Oscar. i Shall Abbeville Have a County Sunday School Convention J McCokxick, S. C., June 10, 1833. j Alinniciu mjarn, i><. , columns on our need of a County Sunday i School Convention seemed to have made j little or no impression. We do not seem to realize our need. In most every de- j partment of Church or State this county! is progressive. She stands in thefrontj ranks. Then why should she be recreant j to her duty at this poiut? If she does her duty in things of less importance] why not lead in this great movement lbr the*temporal and eternal elevation of hu-. inanity. It is not because she lacks the ' opportunity ; for this has presented itself, and like "Ishmael's angel," it has knelt | and begs her to act. The opportunity { opens grandly, beautifully. Jho "open door" which "no inan can shut," stands' ! open wide. She has only to go forward, j It is not because she lacks talent and I ; tact for the work. In talent?native talj eut, she is not behind, but few of her sis- j I ter counties. She has talent that can be-1 come brilliant in the work, if it is only: pressed to the front Th-ee of Abbeville's ' orators will grace college commencements i this year, and will it not be a sad reflcc- i I tion on us, if the State Sunday School I i Convention is allowod to meet, and for us, ' who will be so well represented at colleges t I not to have a de!egato. 'Twill be a! | shame. "O, shame! where Is thy blush?" j It is not because she does not need a JCouuty Convention. If It was only for : the simple reason that other counties will bo represented she should send her right'ful number of delegates. Placing the question upon this?the lowest strata of; (the argument?she should not let any i county be her leader in a work that tells j so grandly on tho morals of a people. I She has as much interest at stake, and she should bo one of tho tirst to act. But! the reason why sho should bavoa County iConvention stands on higher grounds. | Her Sunday School workers need it. j They should be brought together so they : might compare notes, make plans, and (get light on their work. Where conyen<5 f lions Jiavo been hold the Sunday School J j workers lire noted for their zeal, intellij ijom-c und success. Where they have not j . been held the reverse has been seen. The i ! people need it to enlighten them in regard j i to their duly. In many plaeos they take! j no interest" in this .vork'of ih?

[Saluda Argttx.] ! j The closing exercises of Miss Flora L. Wil-ja son's school, were held In the Waller Hall.j" last Friday night, according toannouncment. j li At an early hour, the audience began to assemble, a large number coining from theeoun- j try, and soon every part of the Hall was dvnsel.v crowded, while a large number remained outside, unable to procure positions j within. The exercises were opened with an address of welcome, in behalf of the school and Itsae- j comi>lishcd tracher, by Miss ( hurtle Calhoun i ot t'artersvllle, Oa ; this address was elegant I In style, well conceived and appropriate, de- f livered in a graceful and pleasing manner,! *J which captured the audience In the very out-! sot. Next came the coronation of the little tiny J f* "tiueen of the school," paitleipated in by t-he c whole school, 111 which each one did his or her j part well. Tl.e coronation being over, the remaining a exercises consisted of recitations in Geography, history, mathematics, public debates, coniposltlons and pleasing dialogues. The re- c citation In mathematics was specially notice- t able as suggestive of the Idea of "cramming" for the occasion. Such was the impression of |. many, and we confess, that at first, we wore j1 Innllmxl fn Iho Mime oninioll. till Miss Wll-I wm announced from the stngc that she did not I know hctself, what proposition she won IJ an-J nounce, and therefore it was Itnposslb!e for the pupils to know the answer beforehand, f We have since, examined Into I lie subject and I find that it is an admirable system of mental j! training, which has not heretofore been prae-! * ticed In Our midst and evinces great patience | and pains-taking labor on the part of the!,: teacher. After these general exercises were 1 finished! the audience was entertained witli,c two excellent addresses oil education and | knowledge, I lie former by Miss Marion .Major 11 and the hitter by Miss Lizzie Wells. i '1 hC whole exhibition reflects the highest! credit oil the teacher, as showing, not only ] the most exact and patient training of hert < pupils, but also much labor to accomplish i such great results. This alterall, is the genius! of success. There is no excellence without'c labor. A very noticeable feature, and one J? which gives a very high evldenccof the inter-1 est of the occasion, was the remarkably good j order which obtained throughout the exliibi-1 tlon. :. The exercises vrcre closed by a valedictory ' in belnilf of the school, by Miss Laura Wells. | After the exhibition was over Miss Wilson, j properly mindful of the respect due to "the .: powers that be," and learning of the presence 1 of the county .School Commissioner.

Invited him to eoine forward to the stage and : address the school, but the Commissioner had , retired from the audience and we had to fore-1 go the pleasure of hearing him. 1 j The interest of the occasion was much en-1 hanced by the sweet music discoursed by the : Orcenwood Cornet Land, under the leadership of Mr. James K.

Harrison was in the act. if tiring when his hand was caught and ai raged v prevented. The seduction was stout-1 y denied by Miss Kay, and her irate fattier vas quite at a loss to know whom to call to J leeount. The whole truth came to light last light, however, by a full and detailed coniesion troin the girl to her parents. The story reveals the premediated and fully dunned and finally accomplished ruin of the mforti!nat<5 girl, who is the possessor of rare leauty and against whose fair name nothing las ever before been said. About two weeks,] go, nseordlng to Miss Kay's account, she was I ulten out for a bii'.'gy ride by Floyd. When I, hey had reached the top of Paris Mountalou, | ive miles from town the buggy was left and | he wa? induced lo stroll amid the cdo! rces?es and ravines of the mountain, iiottlcs ! it wine had been provided by Floyd, and tho ! iotlm of his passion was induced to Imbibe j intII she was well under the influence of the rine. They returned to the city abciut Oj i'cIocL that night. Since then the inveigle-:1 nent, of the girl into the room, as told byl larrison, is alleged to have occurred; About 11 o'clock to-iiay,asai>ove siareu. ;wr. | Cay accompanied by his brother-in-law, Mr. J.*>.

Kay made a formal do-!, nand upon Kloyd that he .siiould at once! unrry ills outraged daughter. Kloyd made u i lositivc refusal .and the shooting began, 'ioyd in anticipation of what was coming i ind a cocked pistol in his hand in his coat] del;ctami fired as Kay was drawing his plsol from his hip pocket. The firing was in nick succession, Floyd firing three times and I Cay twice. ICnv's second shot took effect in I 'ioyd's right side and a third shot from Kays j. isi'il, which would doubtless have proven j Hal. tVax prevented by the seizure ol Kay's j audpistol hy others present. Kay was not lit. Floyd's second shot penetrated the right, rni of Mr. T. W. Davis, who was stumlm" irohaiily twenty feet off, causing a painfull round ai.d a slight fracture. Thus the shoot-, ng occurrcd, the impression on all prcsent.be-1 ng I hat Floyd was probably fatally wounded.', 11; was taken to n room and afterwards on ill' it!or to the Kxchango Hotel, where his round was treated by Dr. T.

ThCi all, which was from a .1<t-calibre Smith <4' Wesson revolver, penetrated the right side of I lie abdomen, being a slanting shot, and came ! nt. about eight inches from the place it- e.icred. Its "range was probably not deep! nough injo the body to penetrate the peri to- j eiini. Although its course cannot be pro- , iseiy ascertained no serious results are .ini.-ipated.
