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

Subject of Agriculture, commencing at 5

nil kinds ami descriptions will h? furnished

crowd are being made, and it is hoped
that the attractions offered in the way of

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

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

K'litor Prrr.x and linnnrr:
Will you allow me once more the great
pleasure of eoiit li tin ting another sbo/l art tele
to your worthy pat>er. My greatest plciisure
Is derived trom reading your excellent paper, j
Knowing that the PrcM tmtl Manner is always
rhockful of entertaining and instructive mutter,
and for this reason, am doubtful of the In-!
serti in of this stupid article: but hope you j
will give It a place in your columns for the!
sake of your anxious subscriber.
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. This pleasure Is Indeed. very costly,
unless ft spi-edy reloniui(i"ii is substituted. It
should b" borne in mind Hint it i< far f.nni ex- J
p dicney to sacrifice soul and body for tlie|
*ake of xuintous lienors; knowing Wiat j
dhink?rds shall, in no wise, inherit the:
KI ngdoni of (Sod.
Home* have been deprived of t heir charms,!
hefttt-JnoUi-n wives and children hav>*ofien!
been the results at the homes ot Intfempera'o'
husband* an I fathers. Suicide has n.ore than i
once rcsu'tcd from the " tl'oots of Incessant Indulgence
in strong drink.
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." Instead of a pleasure, t he j
drinking of whisky is a dangerous and do-[
iiioiuli/lni! habit, iteniemner 11>?# scripture, j
"Wine is a mocker, st i oiisj drink Is racing, and i
lie who Is deceived therebv is not wise."
Apropos to the subject is a few lines in verse.'
which were piloted from an unknown lady
by Or. Samuel filltnau in his address before
tiie Young Men's Temperance Society, of
I'harlcston, in Ihe Sprint; <?f 1*512.
"Slay,stay thy hand, lift not t'ie cup (
Of rosy glittering wine:
Though cie.tr its deptl ?, thcrj lurks beneath ,
Curse for thee and ttiine.
Ve say It -jives a merry heart,
And drives away care ;
It brlncs what else thou wouldst no! know, j
Unmixed and dark despair.''
As I am now occupying too much valuable!
space, I wl'l draw the curtain and leave the
subject for others wboaroabler than myself!
to speak of its dc:railing elled*.

Pic-nic at tlie Point.
Last Saturday we l>a<l the pleasure of attending
the ttnest thing in thi* way of a picnic,
at the Point. At tli? Junction ofSavun-!
nail ami Broad lilver a place is magnificently !
arranged for occasion*of thi? sort. 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. Among the
young lady dancers that so ei<wrap<-d our at
tenlIon vvit!i so uiiirli grace and elegance were i
Misses Snllie Gibe: t, |A>: tsou, Calry, Tenant,'
Kaie and Lena Hester, Minnie 'la am and]
numbers of others whom I <1 id not know, i
! Amoiit; 'lie most graceful of tin; married la
dies was Mrs. Ile-sle Herd formerly Miss lies-;
sie Cmie. Ainoi g -omeot tlit? beauties whom j
We did not mention In the dance were Misses;
Lizzie Willis of Wilkes Mat Ins of I,in- i
coin county (in., ami also nuniliers of others |
whom we did not know. Wo extend our'
heart let thanks to Mr. Cade for the nppreehii
ted coin tesy and kindness shown, lie shall
i ever claim a space in the forgetful chain of
<iu- memory, and if ever It he our pie inure to
have one In our midst a cordlil Invl'aiion,
will extend to ti I in and all who were Interest-i
ed in our wcliarc. Wishing tin ni much success
we close. Very Kespectfiillv,

IL<incnster Lrdyvr.)
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.

I The Stranger.
AS EASTERN* LF.OKND.
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 ?"'

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. I,et them act in sympathy and
concert as other Interest do. anil demand
from the world that recognition which
their importance and independence entitles
Ihcm to. and it will be accorded at oni-e.

Commissioners of Abbeville have responded
to the circular of Colonel A. I'. Butler. Abbe-!
vllte has Mil miles of htghw ys, worked and
maintained by the public with average of live
Itan Is to the mile. The county lias forty-live
nubile bridges, including those across Saluda
Hiver between Abbeville and Laurens routines,
none of which collect toll. These bridges
were constructed at a cost, of S-O.(iOi), and an J
annual appropriation of $4.0WI is made for
their maintenance, tliomrh Ihe actual cost of
k> epin / them exceeds ihat amount. There is |
one public ferry over the Saluda River and
five ferries over th'e Savannah which collect
toil. There are no roa<ls in the county on
