1 he Press and Banner By Hugh Wilson. Wednesday, July 16, 1884. ?? Literary Club. The Ablieville Literary Club hold its fr-eRtilar monthly meeting ;?t the Commercial Hotel, where they were handsomely Entertained by I)r. H. I). Wilson. Owing to our absence at White Hall we are unable to give a synopsis of the most excellent essav, which was read by J. C. Klugh, Esq. The Club thought so much of it that a resolution was passed requesting that it be published. This wax quite itn honor to Sir. Klugh, as it is seldom that any such resolution has ever been passed.

As will be seen by his letter elsewhere j in the Press and Banner Prof. William ; Hood declines to become a candidate for School Commissioner. Mr. Hood's eminent ability as an educator, and bis tlior- j bugh knowledge of the practical wor.'c of teaching, is well known to our people, i but he declines to become a candidate for the office of School Commissioner, bet-ause of the belief on his part, that he fcould not give as much of his time to the discharge of the duties of the office, as j he thinks the office would demand. The | poopla of the State, and the people of Abbeville county have conferred Honors upbii him in "the past, and we have no doubt that his fidelity and efficiency is j appreciated by the public. He is certainly one State "Treasurer who made a fair! accounting and a faithful discharge ofj duty. 4^- ? Another Old Citizen Gone. Capt. George Nickols, of Long Cane, hear Hodges, died at his homo last Monday, after a brief illness, aged S4 years. Capt. Nickols was one of our most substantial farmers, having accumulated, by industry atid frugality, a good estate. He Was married twice atid left a large family of children and grand-children. All of his sons that were o'd enough went into the army, and fought gallantly for the ''Lost Causo." Burial of Dr. Norwood. We are requested to state that the burial of Dr. W. C. Norwood will take place to-day at Upper Long Cane Cemetery at half-past twelve o'clock. His friends are Respectfully invited to be present. Services will he conducted by tho Kev. Mr. Meadors at tho grave. ? liiuie amiinrnin. Several of our citizens have made arhmgements to spend a while at Little Mountain this summer. The Misses Boozer, of Columbia, Mr and Mrs. W. 1'. Branch, Maj. Thos. Bcggs, and others, have already taken quartern there. Bishop Turner of the A. M. E. Church spent last Sunday in our town. In the morning he attended preaching in the Methodist Church, where, over forty years ago he was baptized and received Jnto the clnlrch; At night ho preached in the colored Methodist Church. Several of our white citizens went to hear him nnd they all speak highly of his sermon, While it was eloquent, it was adapted to the comprehonsion of his audience. He is a natural orator. He was born in Newberry. In earlv life ho cair.e to Abbetille and served an apprenticeship in a l-arriago fiictory. He afterward went to Trinity College in New York City, where he graduated with distinction. Of the nine Bishops in the A. M. E. Church, he Htandsatthehead, socially, biographically and intellectually. He is well spoken of by all who know him. The white people everywhere have confidence in him as a man of upright character and christian integrity. . Capt. W. Z. McGhke. of Cokesbury, delegate to the Chicago Convention, rea u \r .1 ? 'pi. ~ *: lurucu ihxiiu luwimuy uveiiiuk* 1 uu uiiiznns of Hodges, Cokesbury and vicinity, headed by a brass band, appreciating his services in the late Democratic Nominating Convention, tendered him a serenade Monday night. Upon being called for, he responded in a happy manner, congratulating his fellow citizens upon the nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks, Which he thought was the strongest ticket that could have been put in the field, and one which will be sure to be electod if we only do our duty. At the close of the response to the call his friends were invited inio his house to partake of refreshments, when a jolly good time was had. Abreville has two of as aged people ha any other county in the State; taking the physical and mental condition into consideration. Mrs. Drucilla Aiken, of this town, who has lived to see five gen' Orations, is now over ninety jTears of age, with mental faculties unimpaired, and her physical condition excellent. The other is Maj. John D. Adams, near Cokesbury. He is about ninety years of ftgo. He is hale and hearty, without a pain or an ache. Maj. Adams has lived an eventful life. Dr. Crane, the phrenologist, who passed through this country thirty yeaas ago, said that he would live to be "a hundred years old, and it now seems that the Doctor's prediction is to be verified. The announcement of Capt. J. H. Jones a* a candidate for County Commissioner should have been made two weeks but the express package containing the announcement and the money was not delivered until after the issue of our last week's paper?nor did we have any notice that it had been sent. We hope that Captain Jones' friends will not allow his interest to be prejudiced because of the express agent's failure to deliver the package. It was sent on the 30th of June, and lay jn the express oftlce until last Wednesday or Thursday afternoon. Essie Hill, colored, together with a humberof companions, went "washing" in Little River, noar the Wardlaw place, last Sunday. E3sie wandered off from his friends, turned a "summer-sault," and sank two or three times, and finally Went out of sight. His body was recovered and Trial Justice Ransom held an jnquest,. W. C. Sherard, foreman ol the iury. Verdict,accidental drowning. And Essie Hill's body now lies mouldering in the ground. If he had been at Sunday .-school, Essie would now be gathering blackberries or hoeing cotton. We had a call last week from Mf. W. Tally Sondly, formerly of this place, but liow of Rogersville Junction, Tennessee. He is telegraph operator, and has seen something of the world since he left his native home. Tully has grown much in siz^ since he left us several years ago, And is now quite a man?and a good looking one, too. He is off again. Success to him, wherever he may go. We are al-! ways glad to know of the prosperity of any Abbeville man, and Tully bears evidence of having been a good boy since he left us. The health and sanitary oondition of Iho town is now better than at any other time during the last year. The State Board of Health, of which Dr. Gary is Chairman, recently completed arrangments to guard against the introduction of contagions and infectious diseases from abroad, such as yellow fever, small poX, Cholera, drc., by a rigid system of inspection and quarantine. Our people, therefore, may rest assured that no effort will be spared to preserve the health of the people of our State. "A horse ! a horse ! my kingdom for a horse!" If King Richard had lived in Abbeville, and Btood in need of a good farm horse he could have bought one from Mr. John W. Sign for a much less price than a kingdom. Since King Richard mad** the above extravagant offer for a horse, the market value of the noble animal has gone down to a small figure. If you don't believe it trail on Mr. Sign, ana be amazed at the great bargain which he offers. tf The Abbeville Brass Band give a delightful concert in the Court House last night. About forty dollars was realized. Cor.. Eugene B. Gary, is off to Columbia on legal business. ! Kouk prisoners aro now in jail?three ! undergoing sentence, whose tor in will expire on the first of August.

All wheat that lias been well capped in the shock has been perfectly preserved. Let no man hereafter neglect to cap his wheat in the shock.

At a meeting of the Democratic j Club at McCormick Bordeaux No. 1, It was resolved by the Unanimous vote of the club to i put forward the name of Capt. J. U. Jones as ; a candidate for the office of County Comnils- ] sioner. Capt. Jones Is well known throughout Abbeville county and we think would make an efficient otllcer. He does not seek the office from personal tnotlves. Bordeaux desires one of the offices of Abbeville county, and believes that no better man than t'apt. Joues can be found to tilt it. J. S. McLANE, Secretary. Mr. Hood Declines. Editor Press and Banner.' A very kind friend, acting on what he had heard me state !n relation to the County School Commlsslonershlp, announced my name amongst the candidates for that office.

I be? to thank those who have solicited me to run for the office, and most especially the warm-hearted friend who announced my name, and remain, yours very truly, WM. HOOD.

The opinion seemed to prevail that the prospect of this place raising the neeessarv capital stock was very good. On account of funds with which this place is connec'ed, there lias for a number ot years been a disposition among some of our citizens to make t hceflort to establish a bank. It is thought that probably $25,<M> can be raised from private individuals. A committee, consisting of Prof. J. N. Von nit. Presl (cut J. 1'. Kennedy. Messrs. It. \V. Iladdou, II. P. Mcliee and It.

' Laurens Merchant and Farmer. The greatest sensation created hi Laurens In many a dav, was the revolution on Wednesday, of the action of the County Kquall/.atioii t Hoard, raising the assessments of real estate . in town from $126,020 to SWT,500, an Increase of i nearly three hundred per cent. We forbear comment on this action of the Board, as an appeal will be made to the State Board. That . our readers may form some estimate of the proceedings we append below some of the individual changes. The increased per cent, i ranges generally from one hundred to five hundred per cent., averaging as seen above near three hundred. INCltEASED ASSESSMENTS. These cases are selected in different parts of the town.some of them, as Mrs. Sulllvans, being used entirely for agricultural purposes, 1 and having only an increased prospective valuation over other farm lands.

Wo hope this summary disregard for the wishes of the people, and this premature nomination of State officers, In order that Ihe entire old ticket might be foisted upon the people, may result In nothing Worse than to i make them more careful in the future as to \ how they instruct and whom they elect. The :i fact of the matter is, that as the Democrats I are the supreme masters of tne political sltua- ? tion In this State, it becomes all the more im- s portant that the rank and file, In other words, c the people themselves should take more in- f terest in their primary assemblages. If this t Is not done, the party will simju become a huge machine run only In the Interest of those who can gel near enough to pull the levers and turn the cranks. The late convention is simply another Illustration of the facility with which a convention can be managed by a few adroit and industrious workers, and affords another argument in favor of the necessity of extending the Primary system to Congressional and even. If possible, to State nominations. The shrewd wire-puller knows that In a body of convenient size, like a convention, ail that is necessary is to Induce a few of the bell-weathers to take the leap, < and the rest will jostle each other in their , anxiety to follow. But when It comes to a race before theentire party, the situation is sufficiently modified to Insure at leasta reasonable amouut of individuality and consideration. The Nomination. Columbia Register. About half-post 1 P. M. yesterday the wires ] flashed the news to this city that Cleveland had received the necessary two-thirds vote 1 of the Democratic Con vention on the second j ballot, and three or four enthusiasts near the Western Union bulletin board managed to raise a hurrah among themselves. There was ; no enthusiasm, though there was a feeling of satisfaction that it was for the best, During the morning a large crowd had gathered In the vicinity of the Western Union ofllce, ntul it was evident tliat the majority were not sanguine of Cleveland's nomination, and when the changes to Cleveland began to come in with a rush there was a natural surprise, but no gush. The feeling of the crowd about the bulletin was that the great danger In the path ! 1 to victory was the opposition to Cleveland by 11 by his own party in New York, but Kelly and i his followers don't Intend to be left out In the j in the cold and they will not And it diltlcult,' to fall into line. As soon as the announcement of Clevfbind's nomination was made, theartlllery was taken to the capitol grounds 1 I and another bnom was given to the Demo-1 I cratic candidate. A few postoftlce "ins" were i I In the vicinity of the bulletin, and they ex-l I pressed the belief that the Democrats would I | feel like hiding their cannon after the -Ith of I ; November. They very naturally feel that va-1 i (ancles In the l'ostnfflce Department will not i be Ailed by Democrats for the next four years.; Tom Crnntner's (irconbacker Bill. JloonvUle Advertiser. !

In a recent issue of the Tempera tier | JForAw, appeared un editorial captioned | "StatcSuporintcndont of Education." In | commenting upon llie action of the State Convention iti nominating the '"old ticket," it says: " We ?lo not propose to criticise the notion of the Con veil I ion, (though we tliink it open to criticism In some respects) except to utter our protest In the case of the Ktato Superintendent of KtHic ttion. Col. t'owurd Is a goo-1 man. hut he lias not proven to be the imm for this reponslblu oltice.

It is not fair to the people or to him* sell, for him to do otherwise."' "Col. Coward is a good man, but he lias not proven himself to be the man for this responsible 'position," says the writer. We can I'urm.-di no aiore complete and ell'eetual refutation of these charges of incompetency than the simple statement of a fcslld fuel that this is the first complaint vet heard against Col. Coward in the discharge of his official duty, lie has been in office now, two years, the press heretofore has not grumbled, tlio people| everywhere award him a meed of praise] for his laborand zeal, md school masters, j from the mountains lo the sea are the zealous advocates of his cause. Wo ask the Trm/trriiiiir Worker to tell us what j he has dono and what he has left undone i that will warrant the conclusion that he] i.-s mini in i>?: .->ii|i(.'ijlllciHR'lll 01 lMUloation, and "<>u {lit not to acccpt tho nomination" unanimously tendered Iiiin by a convention of the people. We believe that there arc no sueh datn. j Certainly wejiro in the position to judge; oj bis work in our comity, and It lias gone j fortranl, not btickirnni, and who will i charge thai lie. is partial to Fairfield?! What lie has done here, it is reasonable to believe, has been done \Vitll equal etticiencvand abilitv in every county in the State. What could have been accomplished through the instrumentalities of the State j and county Normal Institute, in prepar- i ing questions lor the examination of: teachers, looking after the general educa-j tioual interests of the State, lie has fully, appreciated, and wo hesitate not to say : that he has performed these duties as well I and as faithfully as did Governor Tlioinp-j soil. If Col. Coward can do all this audi attend to bis school in Yorkville, tie has I a right to do so, the opinion of tiic Te.ni- | pern nee. Worker to the contrary notwithstanding. The writer closes by saying, (a fit eon- j elusion to such an arraignment:) " Gov- j " ernor Thompson was doing some good j "foundation work when he was chosen "Governor. We ought not to let the| " work stop; it will be worse still to let! " it continue to so backward as it has be"gnn to do under the balt-wav superin" tendency of the principal of the York-' "ville Military Academy." The oilicial record of Col. Coward's! work, will compare favorably with that; of Governor 'J'hompson, and this is say-j ing a good deal. Now that it lias begun, j let all the facts be brought to light, and i uvery body will see and judge for tllem- | selves whether the attack rf the IFyrAvri upon Col. Coward is with or without jus- I titication. Simple assertions are worth but little, <ave to wound the feelings of goon and conscientious men, and it is now time! to i lay them aside, and to deal in something j of a more substantial character. wo nope trie tacts trom tlic rocords will vindicate* Col.
