Turkeys and Thanksgiving Day. |
To-morrow will be Thanksgiving Day, i
and we presume Abbeville has never j
been as won suppuuu huh uiiM:in i.m i
the occasion. It is a general remark that
there was never as many of these fowls in
this county as at present. Soineofonr
citizens seem to be so innch in a hurry to
sell them, that half grown birds are
brought here and sold, as low a< forty
cents a piece. This is a waste. Turkeys
should be kept on the farm until fully!
grown, and when sold should be sold by :
the pound. . This is the only equitable
way of buying or selling. As well buy
a hog by tile head as to buy a turkey in
that way.

Good School.
Tho School Trustees dnd the people of
nilr village have reason for congratulation.
Professor Jones and tho lidy assistant
teachers, Miss Young and Mrs. j /
Petiick, are giving, so far as we hare j v
heard, satisfaction to both pupils and a
patrons of the schools, and the increased ;t:
attendance of scholars will most likely J
meet all liabilities on account of the u
school for the present scholastic year, n
Our teachers seem to be doing a*gr?d P
^vork, and their proficiency proves the ''
\visdoin of their selection 'to these important
places. a
The Letter From Capt. W. D. Mars.;11
Wk :isk attention to the letter of Capt.' '3
W. D. Mars, wliicli is addressed to tlie i ^
members ot the General Assembly. Wei'a
have only space to say that we endorse |b
the Captain's views as to the propriety of j nr
fnxiitlori to grade the Savannah Valley M
Kail road. We favor the taxation because '
it is a pood money investment. The iv
small outlay wotlId soon bo returned to M
us by the taxation received from the!nl
road "when completed. Wo should notjj.
hesitate vote for a County tax to build
a road anywhere within its borders. ni

I To the ? motors and Rfj>resc)Uativea of Andcr
~'adit'and Abbeville Oounticx:
1 believe a majority of our taxpayers along
the line of the Savannah Valley luillroail liv-l
lng the townships through which the survey '
passes are In favor of the assessment ofan-l
bther tax to be levied In all the townships]
through which the line passes* from Ander-j
son City to the town of McCormlck ou thej.
Augusta & Knoxvlllc Road. 11
The city of Anderson having subscribed j
twenty-five thousand dollars, it is the duty j(
nnd interest of all the towshlps along the line ,
of the road through which it passes to sub-j,
scribe a tax sufficient to supplement the sub- j,
scriptlon of Anderson to complete the grad-;(
Ing of the road. Also the charter ought h
to be amended to include the township of'j
Bordeaux in the system, and that the tax be j
levied on personalty and realty as heretofore.' j
Our people hare differed and battled before
this as to the location of the road. All agree
now as to the ultimate advantage thatwlll accrue
upon its completion. The taxes voted and
assessed having been paid, the people are
'willing lor all the townships alone the line to
be assessed again equally through which the i
the line passes. We have done too much i j
work and expended already too much money ! I
In taxes to abandon the enterprise, The road j <
will open up a great country for sixty miles:
on the Savannah Ulver remcte from market!
furtile land.-'on fine forest of pine and oak I
timbers. The road will pass in nearly a '
mile of On). J. E. Calhoun's water power On j.
the Savannah River, being a succession of, '
shoals for seven miles the, water power being . <
available with little cost, and ahudandant .
'to ruii all the spindles of a "Sowell" and not I
liable to the frcsheis. of many other lo-; i
calltleH. Amend the charter ?jnd distribute i
'the tax through all the townships that will ,
receive the benefit or the road, and when a. j
vote of tne townships Is ordered, a great mo- .
Jorlty ol the taxpayers will cast their votes 1
for taxation.

iz: That Xinet.v-six nnd its citizens hnd (t
loved in preparing maps for the new coun- i
ies of Ilutler and Ninety-Six, and had left no j s
leans undone to represent the claims of the !
roposed new county. No voice has come |
om this side In opposition. Lexington,!

:. We should take similar steps and meet' j
rgument with argument In this matter of so',

s all.
The following resolutions were unanimous-! t

! t

Whereas sirenuous efforts liave boon made|f

'inetv-Sljcand of that neighborhood tolntlu-i I
nee legislation so as to procure the passageofi t

art of Abbeville county supplemented by
ortions of Laurens county. Newberry eoun-1 <
f and Edgefield county.said new county toil
e called the count> of Nln<ty-six; and i
hereas theconnty of Abbeville as at present! I
ounded has existed intact ever since the for- i
lattonof Abbeville PNtrirt In A. I>. 1S00, and I
as a history anil traditions that are and *
light to he dear to all her people as well as to
le whole State of South Carolina; and j t
hereas the sentiment of her people was coil- *
luslvely shown In the election of 1SS2 to be I'
pppsed to the formation of. said new county i *
f Ninety-Six, when out of a total vote ofh
lil, only votes were cast for the new coun-1 >
r, while 1S57 were cast against it: and 11
hereas the unavoidable result of the<
>rmatlon of said new county would!
e the reduction of the numhorof Reprcsen-jf
itives to theOeneral Assembly to which Ah-11
nvtiie ronrttv Is at nresent entitled: and j t
herons the r?!i) proposed new comity would j <
nt off from her one-fourth of the taxable.!
roperly of Abbeville county, and would <
hereby diminish the wealth ,of Abbeville U
[>unty while uddim; to the burden of her tax-1 I
s; aiid whereas the bounds of the proposed : I
ew county Ineludenbont two-thirds of thc|
,bbeville county portion of the Augusta nnd ; 1
[noxvllle Km I road, whereby It Is proposed j <
j deprive a lnrce number of those whose <
loney and enemy built said rail road of all I
eneflts thereto accruing by enhancement of i
alue of property, as well as thereby to de-: <
rive the whole county of Abbeville of two-li
birds of the county taxes paid by Mild rail-1
Dad; and whereas the bounds of said propos-j i
a new county Interfere with the boundary j'
nes of existing townships so as to render |!
ccessary an expensive re-survey and re ar-1'
n'njrcment of townships, should said new <
ouuty be formed: and whereas It Is believed j '
hat Mic maps which have been prepared and ;
laced in the hands of our Kepresentatives ' l
nd of the Judiciary Committee, purporting j i
> give flic boundary lines and areas of t ho I a
roposcd new counties of Ninety-Six ami i
tutler, as well as of the mutilated counties of j i
aureus, Abbeville. Newberry, Lexington, ; i
liken and Edgefield, are inaccurate Idas-'i
nich as no actual survey was made by the,'
cntlemnn who constructed them, and the . i
reas as computed by him leave too narrow a i
largln above the required constitutional' i
rea; and whereas said proposed boundary I
ines would Includc portions of Abbeville
ounty which are nearer to Abbeville rourt
louse and more conveniently situated with
I'gard to Abbeville Court House, than they
. ould be to the proposed new Court House at!
*inet.v-Sj.\; and whereas It Is believed thiiti
tie creation of the proposed new county Is in i
pposltlon to the wishes as well as the inler- i
sts of the majority of the citizens who dwell
n that portion of Abbeville county proposed ,
o be cutoff from hcrand Included in the said ,
lew county; und, chiefly, whereas the promised
new county would without doubt be re-:
lubllcan by a large majority of colored vo-i
ers, and would leave the new county of Ab-j
leville In great danger of becoming republl-j
?ui: 4
Therefore, ny tnis meeting ot me citizens 01
Abbeville Court House, be It
Itenolvert 1. That we unanimously nnd ear-;
ieslly oppose the formiition of the proposed :
?ew county of NlnCty-Slx.
II. That the contln'ianceof Democratic rule)
n South Carolina, which would be endangerd
by the formation of the proposed new '
ounty. Is paramount to all private, or local
nterests.
HI. That the Oeneral Assembly should re-!
:ard the Interests of those who will be pre.ltiliceil
by the creation of a new county as well
s of those who think they will be benefitted i
hereby.
IV That, this meeting anoointand send t-0 1
Columbia a competent delegate to confer!
vitl* our Senator and Kepresentati ves, and to ;
lo all that may seem proper to urge the views j
if thin meeting as expressed In the above pre-j
inibie and these resolutions.
V. That a public meeting of the citizens of!
Abbeville county be held In the Court House j
?n next Saleday, at l-? o'clock, to express
heir views as to the formation of the new j
jounty.
VI. That a copy of the above preamble nnd ;
hese resolutions be furnished the county pn>ers
for publication, and that a copy thereof
>e pHceu in the hands of the Senators and
Representatives of the several counties of
Vbheville. Iiuurcns, Newberry, Lexington,
\ikcn and KJgetleld.
Oapt. L. \V. White moved that immediate'
iction be token on the resolution, suggesting ,
.hat a delegate be appointed to go to Colum- j
>ia. and nominated Mr. \V. C. Benet for thisi
losition, will* Instructions to go to Columbia
inrl il.i nil in his rrnwer to defeat the forma- ,
ion of the nevconnty. Mr. Benot wns unanmously

speak hut the truth when 1 tell you that you j
have no Idea what you missed'by not being
pr-'sent on that occasion. As the great Uin^l
ot day was sinking behind the West-Til hills,1
v.>n i mild sou vehicles approaching from ev- (
ery dreciion and all calling a hall near the;
Itnt-iist church. When d ukm-ss veil> d the|'
scene, the church was brilliantly illuminated ,
and in trout near the entrance wore lionilrts.
As you enter and pass through the vestibule r
upon the right, are tables crowded with nice
cakes, fruits, cusiards. \-e. These tables nre
presided o\er by the beautiful and charm in;:
Miss .Mamie Wiilenian, and her lovely and ,
dignified sister Mrs..las. Wideinan. It was
almost impossible to pass these tables with- .
out buying something. Opposite and on the L,
left were several other tallies where oysters, j '
hot ( otfee, A-c, were served by Mrs. Jer- ?
dan, Mrs. I'ruitt, Mrs. l'helps and oth-1.
ers, all of whom were kept busy and per-j.
formed their duties with trace and dignity, j r
The stage in front was arranged In elegant j
taste and decorated with pictures, flowers and |,
evergreens, Mrs. Jordan's beautiful piano
was upon the stage and Mrs. Carwlle delight- .
ed the audience with sweet and charming music.
She has few equals as a skillful performer
on the piano, and sings elegantly. The .
noted and splendid string hand Iron; Troy oc- j
cupled seats in front of the stage and discoursed
sweet music throughout the entire s
performance, and which added much to the j
pleasures of the occasion. Soon after the ar- v
rival of the Port Royal train the exercises of
the evening commenced, and Just here my ..

beaut!fill; lovely and charming ladies. The _
Seasons, Faith, Madonna, Hock of Ages. 1
Maiden's Prayer, Faith, Hope, Charity and
Love, were presented in a perfect manner,
and I think all present must have lelt that
they were upon the confines of the spirit
land. The band played Sweet. Hour of Pray- jj
eraud Home Sweet Home, while the last two vv
mentioned scenes were enacted. I could not.
help but exclaim. O, woman ! lovely woman ! ^
nature made thee to temper man. Angelsnre w
painted fair to look like you. They really did t|
appear like inhabitants of heaven. The la- ()

sic and Annie Cothran, Josle Chiles, Kloise w
I'arwlle, Helle Smith, Wilson, Mamie ?
Hearst, Nettie Mullock, Mamie Tcague, Li/zle j-t
Tolbert and Misses Andersons. I venture the n
ns-ertlon that such an array of beauty, grace. ^
illgnlty and loveliness cannot be excelled
imywhTe, or In any clime, or country. The
charades, songs and comic pieces, Inconstant, y
Domestic, Matrimonial Sweets. All's well that H

Shall Lexington be Cut. {From
the IsxinQlon Dispatch.]
We have just seen a cunningly devised map
showing the proposed new lines of six old
counties?Abbeville, Laurens, Newberry,
Edgctleld. Aiken and Lexington?and two
new counties? Duller and Nlnery-SIx?carved
ed out of them. We say eunnliiRly-devlKcd
l:om the fact that Important detuils which
should bo shown in the map are left out, evidently
to blind the Legislature as to the enormlnlty
of the proposed carving when the map
is placed before it by the prime movers in
their game of old-line annihilation. Huller
county with its court house at Batesburg.
is to be cut out of Edgefield, Aiken and Lexington,
the latter furnishing nearly one-half of
the territory for the new county, besides "
a sllcs of 57% square miles on its upper end to i i
be attached to Newberry, to enable that conn-j I
ty to possess enough territory to contribute a [
like .amount for the tomatlon of the proposed
county of Nlncty-Slx. The portion that it =
proposed to cut out of Lexington county
comprise* her richest sections, and is indicated
by a straight line running from a point
about two niiles below the mouth of lilaclc
Creek, on Edlsto Hlver to Dreher's Mill, on
Saluda Hlver, and by a straight line running I
from Dreher's Mill to a point on Broad Itlver !
filwkiit nn#1 n Inilofi hnlnlt* llio Cfilnm. !
bla and Greenville Railroad brldire. The
territory thus cut oil" ou this side of Saluda
Hiverlstobe given to Butler county, and
that part cut otl" between Saluda and Broad
IIIvers is to be given to Newberry. The line
from EdistoRiver to Dreher's Mill will cross .
tne Charlotte, Colnmbia and Augusta ltailroad
this side of Kelser's. and cuts of! and ;
elves to Butler county about two-thirds of
Hollow Creek Township, the whole of Chinqaupin
and Gilbert Hollow, about three- i
fourths of Dolling Springs, and about three-'
quarters of Black Creek. The line froni lire- I (
tier's Mill to Broad River will run nearj(
Koon's mill, on Beaver Creek, by Chapin's ?
Mill, and thence to broad River, cutting off
and giving to Newberry connty nearly one-!
half of each of the townships of Saluda and i'
Broitd River. ?
"When thus dismembered. Lexington eoun-, .
ty will be left in an ugly an Inconvenient I
shape, some nineteen 'miles broad bytlftyL
long, containing only (>17 square miles of the
poorest part of the present county, and dc-:.
? rived of every village In the county except:,
,oxington C. H. |f
The proposed county of Ninety-Six Is to be ,
carved out of the counties of Edgelleld, Abbeville,
Laurens and Newberry, the latter contributing
a like amount, of territory as she
receives from Lexington In the great carving
game, which originated with an element!'
In Edgctleld county, that has been the present < I
size of that county, and to enhance their Interests
and gain conveniences, proposes to
n nrit-ntl rnt/l on I ,PX 1 n l?t III) Illld OtllCrl
counties to tholr Injury, mainly to this coun- i
ty. There is miotlier i>arty in Kdgetleid which <]
opposes the formation of llutler county, but I
in lieu thereof proposes to form a county to j ]
be called Saluda, with the court house atiMt.
Willing. If Saluda county is formed I
Lexington will not he rnquired to furnish the |,
lion's share of her territory. Most of It will >
be taken from Kdgcfleld. The line lti Lexi?g-|
ton will run this side of Leesvilie, as propos-1
edat present. If the latter county is formed i
and Iiatesburg and Leesvilie are included in
her territory, their citizens will not enjoy the j
conveniences of reaching the Mt. willing]'
court house in good public roads and ralfci
road fail cities that they now have in reaching i;
Lexington court house. If Butler county Is;
formeu with the proposed slice from Lexlng- |
ton. and the other proposed slice Is given to |'
Newberry, the political status of thin county
will be doubtful, if not certainly Republican.
Lexington in the past has always been Democratic,and
lias repulsive to think that in the
future she may full into the radical camp.
She has always contributed, In comparison
with other counties, more than her snare of i
taxable property, and in the last few years has
taken progressive steps which are fast placing
her among the most prosperous sections
of the State. If she is to be cut up through
; Edgefield chicanery and dictation the formation
of Butler and Ninety-Six counties,
she will lose, as shown by the tax books, more
1 than one million dollars In taxable properly ; ]
and In the future, when her territory is smaller,
a much heaver tax levy will be requisite ;
for ordinary county purposes. If wo may
form an opl.ilon as to the sentiment of
the people of Lexington against being sliced
up. the large majority or votes cast by her
citizens vcainst the constitutional amendment
providing for the formation of new
counties In the last election would be conduelve.
