The Press and Banner, A. U UEVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, July 18, 1883. Arre?t or Kdv.nnl Boon. Mr. I>. O. Woodtln, of Burnsvlllc, y Vhiicpv county, N". C'.. arrived in Abbevillo last Saturday, having come in search for Edward Boon, the alleged slayer of his brother John S. Wooddn, in 1*78. Beforehisarrival h? had information that the man he wanted was at work at Bradley, a station on the A. K. H. H. Mr. WiMxltin made atlldavit before Clerk Keigler, upon whieh h warrant of arrest was issued, and placed in the hands of 8horill" DuPre, who entrusted the work of arresting Boon t" Deputy Sherifts Walker and Allen. Thev left Abbeville about four o'clock on Monday morning, and on their arrival at Bradley about six O'clock, thev found Boon at work in his blacksmith shop. Answering to his name, the Deputy Sheriffs informed him that he was their prisoner. He without resistance submitted to being handcuffed and shackled, when, after his wife bad packed his clothing, lie was put in a buggy find brought to Abbeville before midday. Boon is now in jail and Mr. Woodtin is waiting a requisition from the Governor of North Carolina, when he will be taken back to the scene of the killing. Mr. Woodfin l?:is been in search of Boon over since the tragedy, and in September, 1SS2, he had him arrested, but on tho road to j;ril he was rescued in S<?ott county, Va. Sineo then Mr. Woodtin had heard nothing of Boon Until quite recently, and his arrest is due to the fact that his wife, who lived in the neighborhood where he lives, loft there about two months ago. On her departure Mr. Woodtin kept an eye on her movements and followed her to Asheville and thence to Henderson ville, where he learned from the ticket agent that she had bought a ticket for Spartanburg. This together with a knowledge of the fact that siie h id i>reviously received a money order from Jradlej' led to his arrest. Although we have interviewed both the accused and tlie accuser, we have failed to learn the cause of the alleged murder. Woodfin says that it was a cold-blooded hiurder; that there was no cause for tho murder : that the accused and his accomplice, sent for the murdered man to come to the house at night, where he was killel; that the accomplice blew out the light, and the prisoner shot his brother through tho back, while he was sitting in hU eltair, leaning forward tying his shoestring, and that the accomplice had been tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged, but that before the Sheriff got in his work, the prisoner broke jail, and emigrated to a part of this country unknown to the deponent. The prisoner denies that he did the shooting; dnd says that the deceased i.;? . Kpin.r iiiviiiii,! :it the Viiuuiru ili^ , in ...r coiling <>f the room, and that he Was reloading his pistol. w'u?n the bar-keeper i 11 Whose shop the shooting took place, shot the deceased'; that the bar-keeper was tried and sentenced to be hanged, but before the day appointed for the hanging he {)aid his way out of jail, and hence the mnging in that instance \Vas indetinitoly postponed. Both Wood fin and Boon are young tnen, apparently not over thirty years of age. Moonlight Festival. How. D. Wyatk Aiken has accepted ^he invitation extended to him. and will address the farmers of Monterey and vicini .y on next Friday on the important Subject of Agriculture, commencing at 5 .ft!t'l'>fk. P. M. After this, delicacies of nil kinds ami descriptions will h? furnished by the ladies. Preparations for a lar_ro crowd are being made, and it is hoped that the attractions offered in the way of speech, Mihstantials, and sweets will draw those together who will appreciate the efforts of the ladies of Rockv River Church in their desire to rebuild their rid church, and at the same time enable thftin to spend an enjoyable evening. A bright moonlight, a good time, a consciousness of doing right and hii instructive and profitable speech a.vaits all who attend. Mr. Press Gnflltu Mr. P. L. Gtilfln, of Osceola. Mississippi County, Arkansas, returned to Abbeville a few days ago, and is now on a visit to his brother-in-law. Mr. Williams, who lives intheounty.

Interesting letter froin London. { I.ondom, June 26, 1?S3. j Editor Press and Banner: In my previous notes sent yon I neg-j ! looted to speak <>f my observations of; i KnglNL fanning and all its nice points.! j Virgii says, "O, fortur.utuu mm in ant #i , bvnrt noriiit apricot".*." | An Knglt-li farmer is certainly a fortu- > J nsie one. I a.ri onlv speaking in general i : terms <,as this yen r giicro K is been a slight j > lai'ure of grain crops in ail England.)! J Their farms arc like a llowor garden, ami | k hiic look like park*. Land is enclosed 1 . by hedges of all kinds ami yon see no' weeds or briars in lields. Labor is very 1 cheap, three shillings or 75 cents per day,! is paid for hands or &J50 per year for man ar.d wife. There are not many farmers who pay over this amount unless some Lord who can allbrd to amuse himself with a farm, and in order to have coinm ind of host labor he will pay highest prices. Their stock is of the finest breeds. No coi n is grown, but turnips by the one million curt loads. The Press anil H'tuner's cautions to sow turnips in abundance Would not lie iicccitHi nore. The country as a ireneral thing is level in England, but Wales and Ireland are very rocky, especially on the coast. Oats, wheat, l?arley, and potatoes, are grown very successfully ami of the best quality. Tlio English grain of wheat will make two in size of American, and the reason that English beer is .so superior to any other is because tlio barley from which it is made is of such a superior quality. Farmers mostly live in stone dwellings with the ivy growing over them. Land is very high here. I would not advise any citizen of Abbeville county thirsting for an investment to rush over here, for four million live hundred thousand dollars have already hern paid for one acre. I lind no lien law in all England nor such a thing as no fence law. Every foot of , land is enclosed cither with hedges, wire i fences or stone walls. Even my Lord 1 High Chancellor is enclosed with iron fence lipped with gold as he ?its in his high Coiiit of Chancery. All ground is', well prepared for a crop as John Hull bo- ;< lieves in not doing things by halves. A few days ago I was making a tour of in- j spection, amonu other things, I saw forty beef cattle lor the London market. You ; could not tell, Mr. Editor, where the', bones were. They all had clean limbs j and it diil look like a shame to kill such | noble and beautiful beasts. If Al?bevillej had a generous sprinkling of such cattle,}1 beef would be beef, and no trouble to: I masticate or digest. As matters stand, , 1 Abbeville beef is a little tough. Erom.i time to time I will give you further notes j Ion farming and its various methods of J carrying it on in England. I ivill have to discontinue the peaceful j J pursuits of life and tell yon of the war j j cloud in Europe. I will state the case j briefly as I have some friends In Abbe-! | ville who do not like things spun out toj( too great a length. The silnation at pros-', out is this: Austria and Russia eachj have one eye on Turkey, while old man! I Keiser WiiJiam has his eye on Lavonia ! and would be willing to help Austria <???t j, 'provided ho could carry out his liitle; game of picking up Lavonia and making; 1 it a part and parcel of his Eiupiroi Uu -, ] sia has a vast army, while old Germany j also lias .1 goomy mioioi-r nun < ....... , witli mi iron jaw at tlio head of it?one; l'rince ilismark. Now, Keiscr William has great trouble in keeping hw war dog oft' Russia now, but should the old gen-1 j tleman throw off this mortal coil down I I goes ]>. B. into the cellar for a few bottles i lofftivarian heerand after putting their 1 contents into his throat lie will mount his j t charger and go oft" to the wars. Russia ; | : lias her Czar crowned now and no douhl j lie feel* like a fight. Now, Mr. Editor, ' tnv advice to all these gentleman is toj1 come over here and go along the fishmongers stands and tell some of them, both h . inaleand female, that their fish has an a i- i icientand fish-like smell and I will guar-!1 ! an tee they will get all the tight they:1 i stand in need of. Speaking of war and [ ! war clouds, I must tell you of soine ofj j John Bull's implemeruof war, John! I has a place hero 'ailed tlie Horse Armory j' where lie keeps his war tools. In onej j apartment he has JtO.fiOO muskets, nearly j, nil of a ditTercnt pattern. John thinks !( the Americans a wonderful people toj ; speculate and the recent failures in lard ! j corners and all other corners have quite j istartled him. I send you one copy <?fi j John's great newspaper, which ii called Ji I the Times, but John himself calls it theji j Thuwlerer. You will observe there areai' number of pages and all well tilled and i. j Joint uses good thick paper and the best j i I of type, which is east ilightly. I may at! (some future tio:e harp on this model printing office and its various appoint-j ? ments. I may also touch upon the sur-j rounding countrv towns, Windsor Castle I where her royal Majesty, the Queen, re- j sides part of the year. I,ast but not least, one would not supposo that John would j [allow strawberries, flowers and vegeta-|( ! blcs to be sold on the streets on Sundays, j ] but such is the ca<e, and not only for a 1 [part of the day, but all day from early | morn until dewy eve something is hVing j cried in the streets. John believes in his|( Church but there seems to be some loose! management about his Church matters. I i His Churchet are ail of the best style ofj j building, but things look a little mixed I, (outside. How would itdo to cry out such j i things in Abbeville village on Sunday!i 1 morning? I know Mr. Pratt would dis-j1 j like to see things go wrong. |j Landnuter uf>i xunt tormtur ubi non i sunt, seems to Mil the bill, Mr. Editor. j John Bull is slow in all his movements j 11 suppose owing to his being eorpulent nnd tat. He cats slowly and drinks slow-j, i v and looks hs though he was turning i I various measures ill his mind. Ho isji j bringing his army home from India now.1 land will send a fresh supply as tho sun isi i t"o hot and water bad for some of his| j sons and he likes to give all a chance toj; ! enjoy a change of scene. i His slow movements sometimes re- i1 mind me of the Greenville and Columbia! Railroad and its various branches. I, i If there Is one thing more than another I ! that pleases John, it is the fleecy staple of; j the South. His Liverpool market eon-j, trols prices you, know. He works about j |a two horse farm in Kgypt but makes i both short staple and shorter crops, j Speaking of Kgypt, now that theKhe-p ! dive's hold on public a Hairs is somewhat;! ; loose, would it not boa good place to send j iour Beechers, Talmaucs, and Imrersolls ?; i | It would no doubt deprive the IVc.v.x ami' \ Banner of some sermons, but this would j, t?e a small consideration in comparison to ! the advantage it would be to others as ail j would be in line of promotion. | In taking a walk yesterday morning, I i Fiassed a "Tally-Ho" coach with sixi ilaek horses of a superior breed. Inside!, j the coach was Ladv and three j otlier young lames, wnwc soucu on hiit i top were ei^rht young men, and all beinu| dressed in suits of solemn black, I took | [thein for lawyers or editors, hut I find I jthis morning I was mistaken. They j wore, not lawyers or editors, nor were | j they professional* of any kind, simply a! ! wedding party goini: to attend a wending of a friend and all Lord sons and dauir.i- j j ters. One must not always judue by ap- j i pearanees. I find as customary suits ot j i solemn b!a:;k does not at all times and places bespeak the lawyer or editor. With best wishes for your welfare and i that of your kind readers, I remain most respectfully yourohedijent servant. Mkllviu.e. | ? ? Abbeville County Teachers' Institute? i ? Programme.

The subject which I will attempt to verify is j r>ne relative to the curses which arc addicted : to lntemtierai.ee ; Misery, poverty, and murder arc common by the offspring of Intemperance. The Hot In ! most cases, wields the sword of murder and ! ruination over the innocent and peaceful [ licnds of our civilized a~d exalted people. A I great portion of the widows mid the orphars j i>f our land have been rendered thus owing] to the reckless nature of husbands and j fathers, who were incessant drinkers, and, j who have, lor Hie sniie 01 (ktitihs i temporal pleasure. plnm'ed headlong iiilri I lie j maddcticdand roaring whirlpool ol intemper-1 lined.

Young men who now possess a clear and; spotless character *bnuld pledge themselves| never toltave it s'ained witti the curs vs of In- i lentj'or-ink'e. Noyoung man should think so little of himself as toenter a drinking ?iiloon lor the pur: o-eof buying IntoxleaMrtz lienors. | It Is almost as dangerous sis goin-r into a den j of lions. The only diflerence. is. the one is of j a shorter duration lhan the other. Though it; Is better to die between the Jaws of a lion than to be launched into the waves of eternity | by the fiendish hand of Intemperance. "Whisky is find's worst cn?*uiy, and tho; jevll's best friend."

Surround-1 ?'d l>y savannah <>a the Kast and Broad on > the West, niaking it in the way of an Island and pleasant breezes pn>slng from each side j nukes it pleasant and enjoyable. Tlie plc-j nic was under the skillful management of' M< ssrs. Oidc und otheis who k- ew well how j to make It plea-ant and entertaining. At , eleven o'clock the immense croud was gatlicred and all hearts throbbing will) almost In-j expressible pleasure us to how they would en-; Joy themselves best. Some passed the time in j dancing, others In conversation, und others I In swinging. Upon the whole I think tliej time passed pleasantly with all; If not us, Dill! Arp say^, it wus their own f;iult. At O'.ei o'cloek dinner was announce I. and every j young man that bad a sweet heart at all i stretched liis fine umbrcila over her und was | so->11 seen man-blag in thedtr?ction of the1, table, about a bundled yards from win re nil I were emv raped in perfect happiness. Ar-j riving in about twenty yaids of tlie table our imagination caught-the idea thai it was well' furnished with everything the heart could I wish, or that would gratify the appetite und we were well pleased to tind that our appetite | and Imagination did not fall us. The dinner' under the management of the ladies acquited | themselves with dignity and honor, and! every one was supplied with as much asany heart could wish and that which was uIce and ' the King himself wou-d ted pioud of. l?inner being over we ail retire I to the pleasant giove for the remainder of the day. liancingi talking and swinging commenced again and j every one's licai t seemed to be parsing ort ! with the pleasure of the day.

Why should a man who make* a piece of clotli or ail iron rail receive any more protection or bolstering up than one who crows an acre ot coin, of col Ion or tobacco? The only excuse is Unit it encourages manufnnctuiers. ! But they have already had more cncourage tnent than they were entitled to. und the .time has arrived to give other interests a a turn. Of course it would be lolly to do aw ay I immediately with all protective duties and proclaim "'tree trade." ssuch a proceeding would be ruinous to thousands who have Invested capital on the strength of production. But what can be done Is a gradual reduction, extending through several years, until not a vestige of protection would remain. Then we would have a tarltl for revenuo only. Protection, in tact, does not protect; It recoils on ourselves and lays us open at any moment : to reprisals, which, Judged i y all standards of equity, would be perfectly Just.

An aged man came Inte to Abraham'* tf*nt. The ?Uy wuh dark, and all I lie i>laln ivus ?>n-e. Ho asked for bread; his slicn>;th was woliulifli spent; His hug-raid look Implored the tendorost carp. The food wiis brought, lie sat with thankful eyes. But npuke no grace, nor how oil he toward the mi at Safe-sheltered here from dark aud angry skies, Tlie bounteous labile seemed a royal f^nst. But ere his hand had touched the tempting fare, The 1'atrlarch rose.himI lenninz on h!s mil, "Stranger." he said, "dost thou not bow In prayer ? Dost thou not fear, dust thou not worship, (iod ?" He answered, "Nay."' The rittrlarch sadly said : "Thou hast my pity. GO! eat not my bread." Another eame that wild and fearful night. The Heree winds ra^ed, ati.i darker grew I he sky; Hut all the tor.t was tilled with wondrous light. And Abraham Knew the Lord hi* Clod wns nigh "Where is that axed man?" the I'rescncsnld, ' That asked lor Kiieiter from the driving blast ? Who nuele thee master of thy Master's bread ?" What rlL'ht hadst thou the wanderer forth to east ?" "Forgive me, Lord," the Patriarch answer made. With downcast look, with bowing and trembling knee. "Ah nn*! the stranger might with nte have staid, Hut, O my God, he would not worship Thee." "I've bnrnS him long," (iod said, "and still I wait: C'ouhist thou not lodge him one night In thy gate ?"' ? Willaee Bruce, in Harper's Magazine for Aul/ust. Tho Farmers; fSaluda Argus.] Farmers who have come In from the country since the rains, have their countenances changed from a sad and sombre east, to one of cheerfulness and hope, at the prospect of yet realizing a rich and abundant cr.>p, as the reward of their toll. If there is any class of men who more thany other, deserves the encouragement of t heir f?llows, and the aid and protection ol the state, it In theagricultural class. Thelrtask Is a del irate | and hazardous one. The farmer treats with nature, to endeavor to populate her laws to yield a desired result from his operations, "which result isonlv realized as he conforms M* operations to the requirement of those laws. His profits are not the result of the ordinary meihods of buying and selling, of calculations of loss and gain. His success is nut assured by his ability to drive a shrewd bargain. He drills with thn hidden, hut Imiii lit a lite laws <>f nature which gives no return I Uf her hmiilly without ihe most exacting pornpliilned with her re<ju I it-incuts, and the j world look?mi. anxiously awaitingand hope-' 111Lr fur sallsfaelory results, ready to approprinie the lion's share to liself. What a vast iimount of practical experience Is required of the successful farmer (for that is his main source of information ) What patient and preslstant toil is demanded at his Iiai1ds;j wh.it close observation, a .d sound, discriminating JudiMnent he is compelled to exercise# us a condition ol success? and yet he is the "hewer of wood and the drawer ol waicr" for the balance of Ihe world. lie has himself, however, to blame for Ills menial condition, mor>? than any one eNe or any class. Lei the farmers magnify their own profession as It. i should be.
