5 " ' * ' / 1 he Press and Bannei By Hugh Wilson. Wednesday, July 46, 1884. Distinguished Visitors. Col. D. X. Speers, of Atlanta, Stat< Treasurer of Georgia, was in town lasf Friday. He came to see Mr. Benet aboul the estate of Dr. W. ('. Norwood, latelv deceased, who was his uncle. lie anil his brother, Mr. George A. Speers, banker, LaGrange. Ga., had come to Hodges immediately after their uncle's death. Col. Speers" spent the evening at Judge MeGo.van's, and next morning he met n number of our prominent citizens. He \i a cousin of Mrs. J. T. Robertson. Hi* father was a native of the [jowndesville neighborhood. Mr. Renet accompanied Col. Speers to Hodges on Saturday, and nt th* rponest of Mrs. Norwood and the other heirs of Dr. Norwood, he consented to act as administrator of the distinguished physician's large estate. The ?. L* & S.

It was thought last week that the iron on this road would l>o laid to within two ?>r three miles of the River, some nine miles from Greenwood by the first of August, and we suppose the road will be linished to that point by that time. A short delay in track laying will then be nocesaary, until the bridge can be finished. After this short delay the work will l>e pushed rapidly forward. The road will probably be finished to Laurens by the first ol October. The Public Roads. Ar soon as the crops are laid by let the public roads receive a thorough working. The recent rains have, in many instances, almost made the roads impassable. All the loose rocks in the country seem to have gravitated to the roads. A little effort would relieve us of this mast troublesome obstruction. Delajed. We have an interesting letter from onr respected friend the Rev. Mr. Kirkland, which was int'nderl for publication in the Pses* and Banner this week.

A basket pic nic will be given at Alewine's mill on Tuesday, the 29th instant. Tho candidates are invited and expected to attend. This is not a monev-making meeting, but a political and social gathering The Lodimout School celebration will j take place on Thursday, July 31st. The; programme will consist of an examination and exhibition, and an annual ad-1 dress, delivered on this oecasi ?n by \V. j L. Miller, Esq., of Abbeville. There will J be a basket pic nic in connection with the exercises. The school is under the man-j agetnent of Rev. A. L. Patterson, assisted by Misses Hester and Covin, and is one of the most successful schools in the county. The County Board of Equalization) met in the Auditor'* olHco. There was: but one application for a reduction of as-1 sessinent, and this application was based j upon the destruction of his lands by the* recent excessive washing of the land by! the rains. All other applications for re- j riuction in valuation had been remedied : by action of township boards. The assessment of the lands in Cedar Spring1 township was reduced twenty-live coots an acre. The colored base ball club at Abbeville; Went to Due West last Friday to play match games. The first nine of Abbe ville won tho game over the first nine of i Due West, but the second nine of Due j West bc:it tho second nine from Abbe- ; ville. The honors are about easy. Ev-j cry spare horse and vehicle was brought; into requisition, and a big crowd went from Abbeville. Dr. Wood bow, of Columbia, is discuss-; ini; the difficult subject of evolution. As j h matter of exact mathematical calculation, and of more practical benefit to the public, we should like to see him discuss' the proper mode of binding the Statutes j of the State, and to learn from liiin what] redress, if any, the people have for the! manner in which the work has been; done. Mb. Eddie Skymoub put out rat poison to kill the rodunts that might depredate ou his oats. A few of the little! thieves were killed, and tl.eir bodies were ! left unburied for a while. Finally alKMit' ten thousand of thoir neighbor rats caniei to the funeral. The sample of Mr. Sey- j inour's oats was so good that they con- j eluded to stay. I We are heartily opposed to tho conver-1 aion of our Courts into engines of op-j pression, and thin< that very few men; should appeal to the Court to settle per-1 oonal grievances. If two men engage in a fight, it seems clear to us that it is sel-1 .doin that the whipped man should oot go j into Court to get ev?*ii with his adversary, j I The Central Railroad of Georgia has j' purchased the DuPre or Dr. Calhoun | j house and lot in Greenwood for depot ji nurnoses, on which tliev will ero<*t hand-1 some buildings. The Central Railroad is ; ( also willing and ready to join with the j, t . <fe G. R. R. to build a sp'.endid union i, passenger depot at that place. Mrs. Robert R. Martin* and children j' of Columbus, Georgia, are in town on a visit to relatives. Mr. Martin will be here in a few days, and we shall be glad j to welcome him back to his old home|' and to our sanctum. Robert Is as good a. j, printer as ever set a type. A convention of Ministers, Elders' and Deacons of the Presbyterian Church j in Abbeville county will be held in the': Presbyterian church at this place begin- j1 nir.g next Monday evening, 28th instant.'; Rev. J. 0. Lindsay, D. D., will preach the,1 opening sermon. We see quite a number of farmers pre-1: Saring to sow their oats in August and ! eptember. This is a capital idea, and we! hope to see it generally adopted.?Auyus- j ta Evening News. Farmers who sowed amall grain in Aucust last year lost their, seed, and labor, too. The Rev. W. P. Meadors will fill his regular appointments at Cokesburv {tnd Andrew's Chapel next Sunday. These J appointments nave been recalled but hei now finds that h<? can fill them. A notable fact as to the Greenwood} meeting, was the lack of farmers on the> ground. Nearly everybody presentcame from the towns along the railroads. The corn crop of this county has been I greatly damaged by tho high water, j Much of the crop on bottom lands has; been entirely destroyed. Mr WillisSmith,of White Hall,one: of the best farmers in the county, has laid by his crop, and turned his mules in tho pasture. There was a pic nic at Verdery last Saturday. Nearly everybody in tho neighborhood was present, and all had a good time. Col. R. A. Thompson, editor of the Keowee Courier, is nominated for Congress by a correspondent of the Seneca Free Press. Wherein lies tho propriety of leaving a loose rock in the road to break our ve- i hicies, and to be run over ten thousand times ? We had the present last week of a handsome lot of tomatoes, the heaviest of which weighed fifteen ounces. Why is it that our streets and the public square are covered with loose stones ? 1 Why not have them removed ? Blaine's letter of acceptance is crowd-1 ed out. We are sorry for this but we will publish it next week. Mr. A. W. Jones requests us tostato! that he has withdrawn from the race for County Auditor. We have had a week of hot weather, and our farmers have been hard at work. Messrs. A. M. Hill Sons have bought a handsome new carriage. The greater part or the Due West letter is necessarily crowded out. Our people are luxuriating in the choicest ripe fruit and melons. Kick the stones ont of the road.

The barbecue whs i ^ood, and fully supplied the wantsof the innei i man. Mr. C. A. C. Waller, the Intendant of Greenwood. and also the President of Greenwood ? /> CInK nrnwiilnil 1 At about half past eleven 1>p Introduced Mr. T. F. Ill Icy, who, In a very happv niannei i welcomed the crowd. lie concluded by Intro duel UK? Captain W. Z. McOhoe, a recent delegate to the Chicago Conveutlon. He was surprised at b>-iiii? culled on ; was no candidate, and had no speech to make, but as he had been recently honored In being sent to Chicago, lie w >uld make a few remarks about the convemion that had put two such good men as Cleveland and Hendricks in the field. He 1 siave nn Interesting account of the convention i and stated that the idea iit nominating doveland was to have a young man's ticket, lie , concluded by introducing .Mr. W. C. Benet, Presidential Klector. who stated that, like his friend who had ju<t 1 spoken, he was no candidate, and was then as near the White House as lie ever expected to be. Ho was a presidential elector, and this j was as far as he could go on the road to Ilia j Presidency, as he could never till the piesidential chair on account of his birth, and having discovered this he had given up the effort. However, this did not deter him from doing his whole duty in electing a good Domocrat to till the chair. There w.is no better ticket than th* one his friend McGhee had helped to put in the field. His friend was one I of the noble eight who stood up to Cleveland. ! the choice of South Carolina. Ho admired Bayard, hut the time had come to follow t he man who could lead us on to victory, and Cleveland was that man. The time for young men to take hold of affairs had arrived. He had no Intentionofdrivingthe olu war horses from the tra^k, but the young men should take hold and push on to victory. He predicted a greitt changing of Radicals to the Democratic ranks lu the couiiitg election; besides, Cleveland's being an old bachelor, he would receive the hearty support of all of the young Indies of the country, and this makes his election almost a certainty. Mr. C. A. C. Waller stated that he wished It understood that this meeting was not held under the auspices of the town of Green wood or of its Democratic,Club, and introduced Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, whos?ated that he was present against his inclinations, but became at the command of the Democratic voters of Abbeville cotinty. H?* did not know what to sav as lie was not up on local IsSues owing to his absence, atid In fact if there were any, he was not acquainted with them ; therefore lie : would have to confine himself to National j politics. JJoth parties had put standard bearI ers in the iield. Xo man had a wider reputation tiiau James <}. Blaine, and there was no |one with a more besmirched reputation. | Cleveland has climbed the ladder of fame rapidly on necouni of his honest antecedents. The helmsman of otic party is corrupt, and the helmsman of the other honest. This Is the argument that must he used in the campaign. Blaine is polished, entitling and wise. Logan is rough and domineering, atid you feel line kicking him whenever you see him. Cleveland's reputation, whicti is'known to you. nas nipnnj nuu hie dent. voters of New York will vote for hi m. I We have no Independents here. He then cave tlid definition of a Northern independent, j slating that the financial interests of the North required that there be Independent voters ifee re, and they tflll vote tttr those men whom tHey donsidcr will be honest, and to their interest, and those in whom they Jiave con Art-nee. These men believe that Hinlne would involve the country in troubles, and they will not vote fbr Klin. He came near doing this during the brief time he was Secretary of State under the Garfield administra Hon. We must work to curry the Northern States', for if the South Is solid for democracy and the North sjlld for radicalism, wo can not elect our ticket. He related what he knew of the Kits John Porter case, claiming that his treatment hy the radicals would cause his State to go democratic. He mentioned those States lie ttiotlght would go democratic, and stated that he had doubts as to Indiana, as the democrats In that state were the poor people, and at the North money Influence! elections to a degree that we of the South could not understand. He thought the republicans dishonest euod.'h to go into the treasury and sign any quantity of bills and uso them for election purposes. The K.tdlcals have held the government so long that they think it belongs to thorn. He,showed why the country required a democratic administration. Ho m xt took up the Tariff question and showed why the consumer had to foot the bill, and the enormous per centage he had to pay. The Northern soldlefs receive $110.0 0,1100 In pensions. If this was done honestly we could not grumble, but tlie reverse is the ease. The radical party has outlived Its usefulness, if it ever had any. It is a party of corruption. The only way to accomplish civil service reform Is to oust the radicals and put In democrats. He did not know if tftC radicals would give up the Government even if C.'oveia'id was elected. Before they would allow him to take his seat he believed that blood Would be ppilled. As Col. Aiken was about totdke bis seat Mr. George (Jilillan.i of Newberry, asked him a question in regard to National Aid tr> Edca Hon and lie replied : That he wished that every man in South Carolina had all the education he wanted, but he wou'd not vote lor a measure coming from a Republican caucus. If the people of Abbeville d"Rircd such a vote, they would have to gel -- ? ?. I some one e;s- <> a-prc^ iu num. an,fir the two mills tax In order to save South Carolina from radical fnlcand ruin, and he would vote lor a ten mill tax fdr tills purpose. He would dive half of nls firin for educational purposes t?efore lie would again submit to Radical rule. Mr George Johnstone was next introduced. He came up to Greenwood to mingle with the people of grand old Abbeville: to visit the land of CalM"Uii, Ward law and MeGowftn, but iik lie Was called on he would make a few remarks. He suited that ft ft y millions of people were now engaged In one thing, and you itic to-day lending your aid as to how this government shall t>c conducted in the future. In thiscampaign we should not heed the voice of passion, nor should we heed it in this dis- , cu-siou to-day, as We have better alms ahead of us. There arc Important matters to consider In State politics. lie referred to our suite debt, and showe I how it could be reduced. He nextentered on National matters?new issues, new men, and new measures. He jrave rea sons why we should and could not trust the radicals any longer with the administration of mir government. It is truly a sectional government. The party is one of domination and tyranny. The radical government only protected one section. It Is a party of corruption. Its foundation is evil, and evefy thin.th it springs from an evil lbunda'ion must be evil. We should become an active party of iiltirmatlon, and not one of ncgition. It is the aggressive, fundamental "yes" that has the advantage. The democratic party has become affirmative, and claims purification of all departments ol government., and restriction on its revenue. The democratic party would s iccced, because It had become affirmative If Cleveland Is elected, he will take his seat in the lace of all the force the radicals can muster. Democrats will not be intimidated, and no fraud will be allowed, and when the votes are counted It will be for the Democracy, and Cleveland will be seated without hlooti-shed. Maj. E. 15. Murray spoke next. He gave a history of our government, claiming that it was the greatest pattern ever given to the world, until sectionalism divided us in 1861. ; The great dancer to us came not. from foes from without.so much as from foes within. Tnsiitp heroes also destroy n government. All the governments of Europe cannot affect us. We must fear not hi 112 but som<* move like the Third Term, iicaded by a military hero, lie handled well the nominations of the two partie*, the financial stability of the Democratic party and the tariff. lie said that the country had reached a turning point in Its history, and that it would now go on gathering greatness. At half past one a good barbecued dinner was served. During the time allowed for refreshments, the Sumter Guards and the Carolina Rifles arrived. They were on their way to Augusta. Ga , and as they had to remain a short time in Greenwood, they gave a dress parade. They were welcomed in a short address by Cnpt. M. L. Bonhum. Jr. He referred to the good feeling existing between the low country and up country, and Invited the Charleston boys to visit Abbevllleand he would guarantee them a warm welcome. Capt. .S. G. Tupper, Jr., responded to the welcomo In a very appropriate munner. Col. R. E. Bowen had put himself In the field for Congress on the Chicago platform, which was broad enough for any one to stand upon. He had for the past eight y?*ars been a friend of Col. Aiken's, and now bethought it time for him to help and hetriend him In his race for Congress. If he did not receive the nomination he would bo satisfied with and support any nominat ion that was made. He gave a history of his past services to thestate and stated his principles. Col. Bowen read from manuscript, and presented his points well. At the close of Col. Rowen's address the candidates tor the Legislature were ealled on for speeches. Gen. K. It. Hemphlil stood upon the State! and National platforms. Hestated that there were no Issues before the people, and he did I not know what to speak about. After making I a few pleasing remarks he ottered the follow-1 ing resolution which was adopted; liemilvd. By the people of Greenwood in | mass meeting assemble I, That the National i Democratic Convention In Chicago met the I wishes and expectations of the people in the 1 j nomination ot Cleveland and Hendricks, and i that we will give this ticket our earnest and \ hearty support, believing that the election of these nominees Is our only hope of the preservation of American liberty. Mr. W. H. Parker stated that the spirit shown In this State in 1K76 has taken posses, itur, nt tlir? N'?tlon:il Demfx-rncv. nnd It would leud on to success. Jt was a "long lane that hud no turn. In State politics there were no measures of public policy that divide us. We are in an era of pea^e and harmony. Two departments required our attention. He referred to the penitentiary and the Asylum. It required nearly as much to run the Asylum as it did the State Government. He thought that something should be done about both. He favored general education. The lien law he considered, under Supreme Court decisions, a dead letter, and thought also, that It was dangerous to the farmer. Mr. John E. Bradley. The Congressional candidates had expressed his sentiments on National a ttalrs. lie thought the State offlcers (should be present; they did not treat the people with that respeet that they should. They should be here to help boom the nat ional ticket. He knew the people of Greenwood were good Democrats or they could not. have stood as much speaking as they had already been dosed with. H? complimented Greenwood highly on its schools, Its railroads, Its pressahd Its enterprise. Mr. Ellis G. Graydon: Would stand to National ticket. There was no use to show why the Democrats should keep control of State politics, as almost every one present knew what corruption we had under radical rule tare 'I'hn numo ftf/.rtiirsA hnliU irood lis ujj iu ioiu. * "V I~ v ?. ? o to county politics. We should select noon men, men who are competent and houest. He would, if elected, serve the people to the best of his ability. Mr. F. A. Conner: Had Just eaten a hearty dinner, and could not well express his ideas. We arc going to elcct a Democratic President. He had rend something In the Hlble about fasting and praying. The Democrats had been lasting for twenty-four years, he knew, but he was un .ble to say how much they had prayed. Ifheeuiered Into suite matters he would have to take up the "Ditch" in f'olutnbia, as his friend Wilson loved to call It. He , thought that it was a disgrace that the State House was not properly repaired. He wa# In [ lavor of an appropriation for It. We would be better oil without the Lien Law. The lien t. law, It was claimed, wa* a basis of credit. He would rather credit a man of character than ft tricky man with property. Mr. J. K. Vance rejoiced that corrupt gov. eminent In South Carolina was thrown ovei . board. The birds of prey have all gone. A brighter era was dawning. The State had be fore honored him, and be hoped It would , do so again. Mr. w. K. Blake thought that tliere wat ' nothing to divide us, but that It did not fol low that there was nothing to do. He pro posed} If elected, to work for the repeal of the . Lien Law, to Have the vagrant law revived, and to have the convicts put ont to work on railroads and highway*. He was onponed - to public education. Every man should edu" caio bis own children. We can not repeal the two mill tax, but It could be amended so as to ?ive the negro what money ho paid (or his $ own u?e, and the white m?u his. Mr. W. A. Moore: Thought we had a chance 5 to elect the next President, and if we did we * would k?-ep hi in for ever and ever. Instead of I- nutting convicts in J.ill, put them to work. He is in favor of the repeal of the Lien Law. ' j Repeal It, and If any man,after the expiration I of three years, will come to him and say that p he has lost any thing by it, he M ould pay up all losses. Mr. T. F. Riley, In a few p'easant remarks t i stated we should strive for the election of the L. natlo.ial ticket. There were no local issues, [and he saw no use of a speech. He believed II in the repeal of the Lieu Law. He has always I i iicen In favor of Its repeal as reference to the .'tiles of the Saluda Artju* would show. The Slate Convention bad settled the school (jiicsJ tion, and lie bowed to Its diction. He stood on . his past record. Capt. (}. M. Mattison was not in the habit. .! of speaking, but- would give bis views. There [ lias been too much legislation, but lie thought there Was room for Improvement. H-is not a candidate of his own seeking. He was brought out by his l"lul>. He referred to his past life and stated that ho had always tried ' | to do what was right. He stands on suite and . National platform. Lien law is unfortunate, , anJ lias done a ureal deal of harm. I Mr. .1. 11. Mosely stated that he did notox| peet to speak, and was not prepared, and excused himself. [ I In the afternoon at live o'clock, there was a I closely contested name of b?se ball between , tlie (ircet'nwood ami Newberry ciuos. me j former came oil' victors by a .scoreof thirteen i to ten: Many people witnessed the ituine. j I At night there was a hall In (,'ohb's Hall. ; The attendance was good, tmd all present enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. (Jrcen* wood Is a live sro ahead place, and when she undertakes any tiling she makes a success of, it. lloth the political mass meetinsr and the hail wore a complete suceo'sss, and all who] ! were present, feel thanklu' that they were , Riven tlie opportunity of passing so pleasant I a day and nigi't.

CHILDREN'S DAY, And C'e'litoiinry Service* ?t Anbury, j t Editor Prr.ix and Banner : With much pleasure as well as pro/It, I attended the serylce* for children fit Anbury tost Saturday. This is oneol the oldest Methodist churches In Abbeville County, and Is located ut the thriving little town of Verdery, on the A. & K. II. It., or rather I ought to say that Verdery was located at Asbury. The services of the occasion, which embraced 1 the Sabbath, was a Ctntenftry Celebration, of .j organic Methodism In Amcrtca. Much Inter- j:l est was maiiltcMert by all denominations of |? the community In the success of the meeting ,11 and most nobly did thev succeed. P" I shall not write of tlie speeches at length, ' hut simply mention them In order and touch |' them briefly. 1 I think that.tlie Rev. \V\ 1). Kirkland, presided, but the pastor of the church, ltev. \V. A. Itogers Introduced Ihespeaker*. beginning with the Uev. W, I'. Meudors, who led oir In a splendid speech, In which there was much, not only for the little folks, but lor adults as well. Hev. I)r. Sloan, pastor of Ced?r Springs? Associate Informed Church was present and addressed the congregation In his most pleasing style. It was eminently proper that the Doctor should he there. He has closely, yes, J" Intimately and tenderly accociated with the I membership of Asbury during his cntlio pas- |" torate of Cedar Springs. His speech was < brim full of Christian love and affection. Ho , has not onlv been the p??tor of his own church, but lie has also most acceptably ministered publicly and nrivately to the families of the church at Asbury, preaching from their pulpit, consoling the sick and afflicted, p?rtormingthe marriage ceremony for the young, and by funcruMzing the dead of this eom| niuniou. I He said in Ills speech that dtirlngthe thirty three years he had known tills people fie I had never heard of nn unkind expression In j' reference to himself, and on tils part, he stated i that if he had ever had an uiiKinu thought;' i concerning them he did not recollect it. N'ot I .only has there been a strong attachment between Dr. Sloan and the church at Asfftiry, j but Ills most estimable wife has been mtmt af| fectionately included. Nor wotild a lull stntei ment be made If I should stop here, for I ! must say that the same may be said of the i memben-hlp of tlie two churches. They have 'lived together like Christians?and now we ' know that the Psalmist was right when he i wrote. " Heboid how good and pleasant it is 1 for brethren to dwell together In unity." ltev. s. Lander, President of Wiiliamston : Female College was present and ndded much to the occasion by his grace of manner and ! ' scholarly speech. This was Ills first visit, to the cheerful little town and I am confident , that his coming again will be most heartily welcomed. I The Quarterly Conference for this, the Greenwood Circuit was held In the afternoon, and concerning It I will only state, that it was apparent to even a casual observer, that it was j a li ve body of Christian workers. j At the usual hour on Sunday morning the Sunday School met, and Instead of the recitations, Dr. ljmder made a well-timed I and practical address, and when he closed the j pastor Introduced Judge Lyon who spoke of j the proper training of children, and the Sun-j day School as a better power to be employed' for the prevention of crime than a police; force. "\ve will not forsake the house of _our I God" was the text oi Presiding r.uier Kirn- | land from which lie preached a centennrv ser-j | mon. and like everything he attempts, was n . success. That sermon will not be soon forgot-1 ten. His tribute to the church at this place In former days and the devotion of the present membership was good enough. Hib exhortation to continued fidelity will not pasB unheeded. The church building somewhat decayed, a 1 subscription was taken for repairing or rebuilding. This being tbe only house of wor1 ship here and it too small for the congrega1 Hon we say by all means erect a new house. one that will bean ornament to the beautiful 1 town in whicli it is situated. Contact with 1 the people of Verdery will convince any one 1 that they area high-toned, generous people. 1 May success be their portion is the sincere i wish of Visitor.
