As previously announced the Abbeville
Rifie Club Hop came otf in the Court
House on laat Thnrsdry night. It wits a
complete success, and every one present
enjoyed it to the fullest extent. A string
bund was brought up from Augusta for
i ne occasion. The ottendanee was very
large. Newberry was represented t>.v
Misses Lucy Bnxtea' Kate S. Rutherford
and Mamie McCaughrin, and Messrs.
Silas McCaughrin and John Junes;
Oreenwond by Miss Reynolds and Mr.
X. Bailey; Bordeaux by Messrs Albert
Uibert and Robert Link ; Anderson by
Messrs. Christie Orr, B. K. Whitner, Jr..
and Robert Cunningham. Mr. C. (!.
Wardlaw of New York, Mr. James C.
Calhoun and Miss Lucy Calhoun of St.
Louis, and Miss Isaacs of this county
were also present. The ladies were ail
handsomely dressed and looked most
charming. Abbeville, apparently, has
l?een asleep for some time as regards
amusements for the young, but whert
she did awake, all drowsiness was inrrne.liaioi..
tiiniwn off und tlio voting found
themselves in the full auu.*hine of a most
pleasant ball and its accompanying happiness
and fascination. Much praise is
duo the gallant Riflemen, and the ladies,
not only of Abbeville, but all those who
were present, will ever keep a warm spot
In ther hearts for thein.
Once the ice broken, and the pleasures
ot the dance again revived in the hearts
of the worshippers of Terpsichore, our
young men were not satisfied, and on Friday
night they gave a german in tho
Court room, which was well attended
and well enjoyed. Both the young men
and young ladies speak in the highest
terms of the german, and are apparently
pininc for another. Most of those from
a distance who attended the hop, remained
over for the germun.
I Not ice.
f The Abbeville County Democratic Club
will meet at Abbeville Court House on
Sulcsday in June at 11 o'clock, A. M. A
full attendance is desired as business of
importance will bo discussed.

There was a heavy hail storm in the
Turkey Creek and Saluda section of the
county last Friday. The track of the
storm* was about three quarters of a mile
wide and several miles long. It hailed
continuously for twenty minutes, and it
Is said that inany of the stones were as
large as a partridge egg, and drifted up in
F laces to the depth of eight or ten inehps.
t is said tliat not more than one stalk of
wheat in twenty is left standing. Crops
of nil kinds in its track were almost ruined.

thirty years." From hor girlhood a memI
her of the Methodist church, she lived a
consistent Christian life, devoted to her
family and the Master's cnuse. She)
leaves three small children, the eldest
not quite nin? years old. She was

There are only nine cases for trial at
the June term of our Court. Six of the
above are in jail and three out on bond.
The cases are of minor importance and it
is probable that Court will not last more
than two-and-a-half or three days. This
is tli" best showing Abbeville has made
in some time. All of tlio accused are
colored.

l^>n:er intermission l>etween showers
Is essential ere full preparation of our bottoms
can be made eflectix e for cultivation.
Farmers, perhaps, are In error In concentrating
tbeir sole efforts foracropol the "staff of'
life" on bottom laiuls. Too much rHln don't
suit to raise corn on them with much success.
If the ralueonllnues so frequently the season

Imagine he In convinced and acting on the!
principle that too much cotton Is the bane of j
our prosperity. The outlook for a bountiful
supply of wh?at In this locality, Is unprece- j
dently encouraging. RctUr prospects nre ]

The oat crop comparatively Is not. unfortu- '

( seeding down oats en "land without rotation.
I Oats that were sown lasi August oil cotton

| ("apt. G. M. Mattlson, president of the Donaldsvillc
Democratic Club and one of the
. most practical and clear-headed citizens of
; the county, says:
! I think any one of sane mind would answer
i tliHt education must have Hh mural effect upJ
on all. I believe that our common fjees.-hool
' system. If properly conducted, will prove a
blessing.
I am not in favor of the repeal of the twomill
tax, and think that an effort by the
Democratic parly for its repeal would be disastrous
to the party.
I believe that we need National aid, and
the H!air bill is the best we can set, although
there are some features of the bill of which 1
do not entirely approve.
My opinion Is that a large majority of the
voters of Abbeville county entertain the
views above expressed.
Mr. John It. Moore, president of the New
Mai k ?t Club, says:
I am not of the opinion that education has
no moral effect upon the Individual and I am
In favor of common school education at the
public expense.
I am not in lavor of a repeal of the two-mill
school tax and I bc'ieve the effect of an att"inpt
by the Democratic party to repeal It
womi no 10 uivioe me party and incite tne
opposition lo renew I tie struggle lor ihe control
of tin1 H'ftte (iovoniment.
I am in lavnr of National aid to education
ami tlie llialr ull' nvets with mv approval, an
I believe It Is as k'kji! as any we could expect,
I aiillclpite no danger whatever to the siate
authority under the bill, for we win at any
time decline to take our portion of the fund If!
we timl any conflict of authority. I find the
Illalr bill no more ohjccliotiahlc than the otic
Introduced in the Senate in 1-81 by Senator
Hutler, which also provided for National supervision.
Tint Northern people are deteimlned
that the nejjro shall b?j eilucutvd, and I
fear, should we refuse National aid If ottered,
we will have teacher* sent here and paid by
the North to teach the nettroi*. who will be I
entirely Independent ot our people. There Ik|
now a school In the Town of Greenwood:
which has br-en In operation many years i
with a full complement of pupils, supported!
entirely by a society in New York. The problem
of the future of the neijro race wlioafe
with us to stay Ik a vcy serious one, atul far
from beitii; wived. No narrow contracted
policy will avail. We must take the most
broad and liberal view of the question.
Mr. W. T. Jones, president of the Walnut
(irove Club, says:
I am decidedly of opinion that eduentlon
docs p.\iTt a moral Influence upon individuals.
and am In favor of common schools.
Willi my preseni feelings I could not. endorse
any effort lookius lo tlic repeal of the I
two-mill school tax. I conscientiously lie-1
lieve that il woul.l lie extremely hazardous
for the Democratic parly to reprul It.
Ah to tin? Blair bill, candor compels me to
confess that I am nil her afraid of it. There!
are some features of (he bill that I do not 1
like. I very much tear thai we would bedis-i
appointed with its result". 1 cui't see any!
harm from National aid to education per *e,'
hut If there Is a possibility of Its infringing >
upon States rights <* producing unpleasant I
( onset)uences. I think we hud better not make ;
the experiment. Perhaps we iiad better lei!
wcll-euouuh alone. However, this 1* a very j
grave question, one that it behooves the i
most eminent statesmen to carelu.ly consid- |
er, and I am perfectly willing lo accept their I
verdict upon it.
Dr. J. W. Calhoun, president of the Ninety-!
Six Club, says:
In reply to the flrRt question, "Has educa-!
Hon no moral effect upou the individual?";
Upon a large majority of (lie white race it
tins, hut I am not prepared to say that this Is !
trueol the negro, Heinga farmer. 1 have hud i
a uood opportunity to notice the effect of edu- j
citiou upon his morals, and while 1 would
not h iy ihut it does not elevate tiie negro, 1 j
iiiiini ;;lve It my opinion that the superficial |
educ iti<>n he has received has had no benefl- j
rial effect, hut, on the contrart, it has <10nc j
harm. The great hindrance to the elevation i
of the negro race Is the want of any moral
standard to work up to. Theit and polygamy ,
are common among them, and those who ure '
guilty of the-e crimes are received into their j
best society.
I am in favor of common school education '
at the public expense lor the reason that a!
poor t<> pay Tor It, atul ii would not lie Mile In j
a political pnliit of view to our Ilepubll< mi '
Institution* to put Into Hit' hands ot an lllit-!
ernte i opulace t ie Kuvernl.iu power. TliU:
would be tin? ca*e ioa \ery laive extent If free
edtteiiilon wa-"liouslied. 1
I think it woul l be unwlKe to repeal the i
two-mill tax, as this would put education be '
joiul ihe reach of the entire negro population,
and a very large proportion of the
white. It would he unwise for anotner reason.
The Deinocnitlc party has pledged itself
to gi ve educational firllllies to an the people,
and It would be n>-Ung in bad fullh now to go ,
back on this pledge.
As to tne last .quest ton, "Are you In favor of
tl;e Blair bill ?" This, with the Slate ppropriution,
will enable the public schools to run
elsht montus ill tli" year instead ol' four. I
see no objection, constitutionally or otherwise,
to laklnt; this fund, as It will ulvethe1
people the opportunity of getting trore man I
an elementary iducitiou, which Is all that!
could be expected iroin the appropriation !
made by the Stale.
Cnpt. It. J. Itobln^on, president of the Troy ;
Club, has never entertained the opinion' that I
education has no moral ettect upon I he I mil-'
vidua). II?' Is In favor of common school ed-;
neation. 1"opposed to tlic repeal of the two*!
mill tax and thinks thai an attempt to repeal I
11 would possibly re ult in the disruption of j
the Democratic party. He Is In favor of Nu-1
tlonal aid to education II the Htate authorities
are to control the fund.
Col. M. L. Uonhatn, Jr., president of Abbe-!
vllle C.ub No. 1. says:
In my opinion the possession of the mere'
rudiments of education does tioi tend to the I
elevation of the moral nature ol the Individ-;
ual. Education of the moral nature, co-lncl-j
dent with the education of the mental and In-,
tellectual facilities, does have a high and civ- {
iliziiij effect upon the individual, * * I :
think the State should assist In educating the!
pt-opie. But I am not In favor of absolutely '
free education at public expense. .. j
1 am not In favor of the repeal of the two- j
mill school tax. We are In equity and good 1
conscience committed U> the payment ol tmit
t<tx. and any attempt on the part of the Dem-j
ocrailc party to repeal it wtil jail, i think.
Men will not consent w> shirk the profrfise;
made, In this particular, in 1X76.
1 am unequivocally opposed to National aid !
to education, and i fear thn Blair will as a
Trojan horse, nnuer cover of which our ene- i
mies mmv obtain entrauce into any Slato ,
Government, and theuceiorth claim the rlt*ht:
to Interfere therein^. "Better bear the Ills we ;
have," A.
W. II. Parker, Esq., a delegate from AbbO-'
vllle Club No. 1 to the recent County Convention
and at present a member of the Legislature,
says:
1. In the precise terms of the question I
cannot answer attlrmatively. Mere reading ;
and writing, without moral, religious or lu- i
dustrlal training, has in my opinion but limited
influence on tin; moral character. Much
depends upon race characteristics?the effect]
Is dill"rent as to the white and negro rare..
Ah to the taller race, as at present advised, I j
would answer attlrmatively. 1 do not favor '
fret- public education In the sense in which 11
understand ihe term now to be used, bat I j
would not oppose the State supplementing to '
a limited extent private efforts in the line of:
L. If the question was as lo the Incorpwn-1
tiou of the two-mil! school tax into the Constitution
I would not fiivor it, but 1 uin op-1
posed now lo the repeal, tioo i faith in the i
Democratic part^ requires that It be not re-;
pealed: a politl&il measure the attempt
would be unwlte ami dlsmslions 10 the parly,
and division of the white race would ensue.
U. I answer negatively to both these li.terlOKUtories
(National aid to education ami the
liiuir bill.)
The education which I understand to be rcferied
to (in the circular) Is confined to the
mere rudiments and not to advanced and
higher education.
W. C. Uenet, Esq., the newly elected Democratic
county chairman, says:
Education, properly so-called, has generally
amoral etl'ect upon the Individual, but the'
"education" of the public schools has not per
xr any such ett'ect. To a certain extent 1 am ,
in fa\or of common school education at the'
pultiic expense; but the public moiie) rhould
only be given on certain conditions as u stimulus
to private eutet prise, not a substitute. j
1 am opposed to ihe repeal ol tlie two-mill
tax. The Deiiiocraiic party must keep lat.h
with the whole people of the State. We lnuet
not breaK t .e piedzes made in 1876.
I iiiii opposed t > National aid lo school*, and
most heait.ly disapprove ol Hie Hlulr bill.
Mr. A. M. Aiken, pres.deul of the Cokesbury
Democratic Club, and brother of Con
uressmun D. Wyatt Aiken,answers the questions
piopoundcd In a sententious way, as
followa:
1. No; but If "Individual" Is a negro, yes,
OppoM'.i a? it U conducted.
? Favor reueal. Wise measure. No danger
to Democratic party.
3 Oppo.?ed li> National aid. Forebodes no
UO<.d 10 tlie while race. Only a political move
to Solidify '"1'uiiilcaii parly." Uuller's view
ol the Uiair bill does.
Capt. Jolin E. Brownlee, president of the
Antreullle Club, believes that education lias |
no moral ell'cct upon the individual, and is
not in favor of commou school education at
the public expense, lie also favors the repeal
ol the two-mlil lax, and thinks that It would
have a good etlect upon the Demociatic party.
He Is opposed to National aid to education,
and does not approve of tne Blair bill.
| Mr. W. H. \V nil lock, a delegate from the
New Market Club to the receut Democratic
I County Convention, says :
I think education has an effect upon the
morals of some, but not of all. I am not in
i favor of common schools at the public exI
peiiKC.
; I ain In favor ot the repeal of the two-mill
tax. It isa burden upon the tax payers and
.... ... ,,ul I .1.. iw.t tl.l.,1, It. ron..ol .......I.I

I inn not In favor of the Bi ilr bill, neltlier
do I tavor National aid lo education. In my
opinion a larce majority of tlie farmers In my
'county entertain similar views of those expr?
s<ed by me.
The Hev. W. M. Grler, D. P.. president of
i Ersklne College at Due West, and one of tiie
moat eminent eduuatorH In the .State nays:
There Is no true education which Is not
moral In its whole tone and influence. As
: matters are wltti us I favor common school
education at public expense.
| I would regard the repeal of the two-mill
; school tax as a long slep backwards. The
' highest considerations of public Interest and
of Christian duty would condemu such a
movement.
I am in favor of National aid te education
If the distribution of th?* fund is left wholly
in the hands of the State authorities and can
therefore be made without a complication of
| State and Federal relations.
Professor C. C. Heed, principal of the Cokesbury
Conference School says:
Education has a morul effect upon the indi vidual.
I am in favor of common school education
at public expense.
1 I am not In favor of the repeal of the two
mill school tax. An attempt to repeal It
would be a failure and no good would be af;
fected. .
I favor National aid to education and am
not opposed to the Blair bill, though it has
nuuic wujvwi luunuir iviiiui 10.
1'n.t. George C. Hodges, principal of the
Ninety-six High School, believes that education
does have a moral ettect upon the Individual.
11<> Ih not In liivor of the repeal of
the two mill school tax nt present. He Ih In
lavor of the tax not on the ground of political
or purty expediency, lir.t- on different and
he thinks on higher grounds. Its repeal, he
tlnnkx, wouui put us In a bad light bi*lore
our friends and enemies North and South.
He Is In f-ivor of National aid to education
Ai>d approves <>J the Blair bill. He says that
he is almost wholly In accord with the views
expressed by The News and Courier ou these
| matters.
Prof. John P. Kennedy, president of the
Due West Female College, says:
I nni satistl> d ihut education lins on eleva-l
tins moral effcet. I am opposed to all taxa-j
linn lor school purposes, except for the very I
poor, lor example, some such system as pre-1
vailed in South Carolina before the war.
I iiiii in favor of the repeal of the two mill1
school lax, but would toward the agitation ofl
the subject tiy the Democratic purty at prea-l
out us very unwise.
I am not in favor of National aid to education,
and lv?pe the Rlair bill will not become
a law. The centralizing intlueurc of tills Mil
is certainly a valid objection lo It. I regard It
partism In lis purpose and tendency, and
likely to p.ove hurtful to our section.
Capt. E. Cdwihi, the school commissioner of
Abbeville County, elves his views an follows:
In answer to the first question I emphatically
s;iy education lias great moral effect on
, the individual. and In answer to the second I
would say I am In favor of coiiiiiiou school
education at the public exi)ense.
I am not In favor of thereped of the twoj
mill tax lor schools. 1 think the effort to resaid
act would he a failure and would sc-'
rloo>)y Injure the Democratic party. s
1 am hi tavoroi' National aid to education!
! and approve of the Blair bill, if the Itadicals
do not. interfere and take the control cf Mild '
appropriation to the detriment of the South.!
There is opposition in this county to the two
mill tux. but I don't think it would amount!
j to more than o'ie fniith of tiie county vote. |
An nnonymoiiH correspondent sends the
| following answers to tho questions contain!
cd in tlie circular:
1. I am of opinion that education proper
hat a moral effect upon the lmli\ 1 lual. I mil
in favor of common school education (wisely
administered b> the State) at the public expense.
Our plan in this township is to uso
the public fund as supplemental as tar as
practicable, and as a stimulus tu individual
eflort.
2. I am In favor of tl.e two mill tax. I
think an h'tempt to tepenl it would be hurtful
in the Democratic party.
3. Aside from lis unconstitutionality and
as a high tariff measure I mn willing to try
the Blair bill, although I look upon it with
suspicion.

With its Improved Attachments
is King Over all
Machines.
! 'piIK WHITE elands In the front. It lends
f i the world In point of durability, In lent.
ures of mechanical construction, in new and
valuable Improvements. For light running
qualities and for great range of work with the
embodiment of all the latest Improvements
known to .Sewing Machine mechanism, with
elegance of design and beauty of finish the
White stands without a rival. The Improved
White Is the Machine of the luture.
T11E WHITE Is manufactured by an old
company who have hud an expedience of over
thirty years In the manufacture of Sewing
Machines.
THE WHITE Is the most simple constructed
Shuttle Hewing Machine madennd adjustIblc
throughout so that any lost motion can be
Inbnn I., .... l,.ol..nl
THE WHITE Is the lightest running,and
made from the bent material.
THE WHITE irnikes less noise lh;in any
other Shuttle Machine, and has u larger space
under the arm.
THE WHITE hns nn oscillating self-threading
shuttle and a self-selling needle. It has a
strong feed on both sides of the needle.
THE WHITE wl:! do all kinds of work lliat
any Machine can do. The White will do work
that no other Mnchlne In the world can do.
THE WHITE hems, and sews on lace, and
Insert* bias trimming ut head of hem nil In
one operation.
THE WHITE does welt cording, and scollop
binding.
THK WHITE does dress trimming, fold
' making, coat binding, und ihe only Machine
in the world I hut does hcin-siltohlng without
the use of paper. The lien: stitch attachment
reduced from $10.00 to SI 00.
THE WHITE has un automatic bobbin
winder?every bobbin wound as smooth as a
spool <>l thread, and an automatic take up and
is self-bumllng.
.THE WHITE ruffles between two bands on
. theeidfjeof a garment, or through the centre
. of a garment. With the above and other
ranges of .work too numerous to mention the
f WHITE Rlands without u peer.
THE WHITE) Machine has been tested In
Abbeville county over seven years and Is war11
runted from live to fifteen years. The shuttle
[carrier Is lined and warranted twenty-five
r yearn. In order to dciuoimtrate the above I
now challenetfanv one of my competitors to
meet rae In ai public contest.
THE WHITE Machine can he run piiccc<s,
fully hy clectrlclty, an advantage that fevery
delicftle lady will appreciate. With the blaH
