I 1 he Press and Banner . By Hujjli Wilson. Wednesday, Aug. 27,1884. v Railroad Aci'idptir *t Venlery. Last Saturday morniny the express and i passenger train left Greenwood, on tlie j Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, at tlio usual hour for t he departure of that train | for Augtlsta. Fifteen minutes later, the construction train on the Greenwood and Lauhens Railroad followed on the same track. The express train made its first halt at Verdery, which iseiurht miles from Greenwood. While transacting the ordinary business of a stoppage of a train of this kind, the whistle and noise of an npmvvwliino tr:ii?i u*??re linnnl throuirh the 1 woods, And almost in a twinkling it was sr.en to turn the curve about a hundred i yards distant, coining at great speed, and j owing to the short distance and the do- j i clivity of the grade, all effort to stop then train was unavailing. It came forward | at a rapid pace. Tlie engineer blew on j s brakes, reversed steam, and jumped from j the engine. The train came forward down , < the road with unabated speed, and entirely deserted, except by the fireman, who . stuck to his position to the last. The N man who had been sitting on the cow- j catcher did not like the appearance of things and he immediately changed position. The engineer on the forward 1 train made effort to clear the track, bntj' before he could get his train in motion ' the approaching engine struck the rear 1 of his train, completely wrecking two passenger coacnes wincn were 111 me rear. The construction engine was ruined. The 1 flat cars which were attached, jumped ' and passed over the trucks of the tender, j t completely smashing that attachment. Senator'.Max well was among the pas- j ( seugers on board the express train and j| received some bruises. One or two oth-; ] er passengers were considerably shaken, j . The passenger coaches which wore smashed, were not of first class make au l ' it may be the public will be in the end be! the gainers by the Railroad's misfortune, i The engine and construction train of I the Laurens and Greenwood road Werej r "v_ badly wrecked, but we hope the work ofj t track-laying may not be suspended on ' that account. ? w The accident is one of thoso unaccount-1 '* able misfortunes which so often overtake j railroad trains. We believe there was a j misunderstanding of the time in consequence of difference of watches?the en-j gineer on the construction train claiming that the express or passenger train \Vnsj behind time. So far, we have not heard i that blame has beon definitely attached ! to anybody. The Pigeon Shoot. The Pigeon Shoot on last Friday was witnessed by a large and interested [ crowd. The birds weieciven twenty-one yards rise, and out of a possible 10, the following is the-scoro: McGowan 7 Sondiey 6 Cothran, T. P 8 Haskell 9 Norwood. J. S 5 ...I r. I l inomson o \ Miller 8 (i Cothran, \V. S 8 Hodges 5 f As will bo soon Mr. Haskell won first., t Messrs. Miller, W. S. and T. P. Cothran i tied for second. They shot it off, ami on 1 a the first round Mr. Miller went out, i ^ when three rounds had to he shot by the j Cothrans, Mr. W. S. Cothran finally : carrying off the prize. i S There will bo a match soon between the j 'Flat Woods" team and the Abbeville d team. The Flat Woods team to consist of j Messrs* Haskell, J. S. Norwood, J. A. ^ Norwood, H. H. Norwood, and Norwood Calhoun. Both teams are confident, and a lively contest may be expected. Shot in the Mouth. v Julius Thomson, a colored youth of[. Cokusbury went hunting last Saturday,] r wit?' Will Dixon and Will M.t'his, and a-' the i;rowd was a little old sh >t gun ' ^ ?one of those harmless sort th.it we read j of in the newspapers?which had been m left about the yard for the children to j play with. Just as these old guns gen- >, enuly do, this one, while in the hands of, * .Julius Hampton, went off at the wrong], time, denositim; the load of shot in Willi11 Dixon's month. The shot knocked Dix-j on down and Hampton made tracks from that vicinity. j Dr. W. Townes Jones, was called to: (j Bee the wounded man. when lie pro-1 nonnced the injuries of a serious nature,':, though he did not at that time know the full extent of the injuries. Aliout half of j Dixon's tongue was missing at last ac- ;11 counts. jh An Honored Guest. Wo had the pleasure of a call last Mon- ' day from Captain K. (.J. Sharp of l)ne| West. Ho is a man whom we loved iujh our youth, and in our more mature 3'ears j Wo have always regarded him with tbo.u greatest friendship. Although he is well j stricken in years, lie has still the appearance of a much younger man. 'lime has dealt gently with him, and ho is still! hopeful and active. We trust that he : may Ifvo for years yet to come, and nil! the' time enjoy good health and good Bnirits, the best things this side the s, ltiver. | Uj Talented Youngr Lady. L, We had tho pleasure of inspecting a li beautiful oil painting which has just lieen | M finished by Miss Hannah St. Clair Hemp- jt hill, daughter of General Hemphill. The . u J tainting was done under tlic tuition ofjci Jrof. Clark, and the work furnishes the fl best evidence of native talent and apti- u tude for the business. She paints as well; 0 ns she writes, and gives promise of a dis-; tiuguished future. * Columbia Female College. j, We ask attention tc. the fact that the ex-'s ercises of this spleddid eolloge will soon J! open. If any of our young ladies are u looking abroad for a college, none can of- \ n fer greater inducements than the Coluui- ? bia Female College. See tne advertisetnent, and write for particulars. ? Financial Report of the Town Council, d The financial report of the town council J1 is published in this issue ot our paper, which was tiled with tho Clerk on Mon- e day, in compliance with the requirements li of the law on the subject. ; b ^ Kelioious services Svere held at Lodi-' n ftiout Church last Frid ly, Saturday and 5 y Sunday. Mr. Patterson was assisted by '* Dr. Sloan, and Mr. Foster Uradley. The attendance was large, and the interest in *ne services was iimum-m. outcim n cessions were made to the church. Mr. t Patterson is a most excellent teacher: lJ and preacher, and isdoiug a* much for .j that community as Dr. Waddell did lorj> Willington in his day and time. The in- I lluence of Mr. Pattern* ?n is now as jireat >' as was that of Dr. Wr 'ell in the olden1' time. j 'j. When* the State canvassers come to Ah- t "beville a free barbecue will be given under the auspices of the Abbeville Demo* craticClubs, aided by several of the Clubs nearest to the Court Hous*. The day for the meeting has not yet been appointed. [ When the time arrives we hope that Abbeville may bestir hehself and grt up aL rousing meeting. Our great danger lies ; c In our feeling of safety. Wo have a wily ; s foe to watch and unless we are on the } alert we may get ourselves iuto unex- ' pected trouble. jt Mu. W. A. Ancrum of Camden, son-jj in-law of Mrs. J. A. Calhoun, of this vil- i lage was nominated on the 28th ultimo,! t at the head of the ticket for the Legisla- J ture from Kershaw county. On his re- i [ turn to Abbeville, the Abbeville Band | ? serenaded him in honor of the event, t Mr. Ancrum is deservedly popular at1 v home and in Abbeville, and wo are f?lad j , to learn that he entertains proper views J on the University question. j > We are informed that the Rev. J. P.!} Marion who has beeu laboring at Green- 8 wood and Rock Church for the last year \ accepted a call to lioreb Church in Bethel; i Presbytery. Mr. Marion spent one I year in the Due West Seminary and was J for a number of years pastor of the Ches- J ( ter A. R. P. Church, where ho labored < with great success and gave fine satisfuc- 1 /^tion as a preacher. He ranks high in his;1 ^?rofession. i ( We have given much space to the dis- i i cusslon of the university. We havedone " this reluctantly, but we hope that our t readers may lose nothing by it. While f we take it that a majority of our friends t will read what the Rev. Mr. Kirkland says^ we are free to say that wo expect 1 very few to read what we have said. Wo ; J know that we would not read an article s of that lenzth from anybody. J t W. A. Giles, Esq., now of Granite-, J ville but formerly of Lowndesville, came to Abbeville on Friday last and returned c on Monday. He is now book-keeper of p the Graniteville Factory. He was a sue-! | cessful and popular teacher at Tvowndes-:, ville for several years. Graniteville j I would do well to make him her repre- < sentative in the Senate chamber. Rev. Jas. L. Martin who has been j i pastor of the Presbyterian Church at this j' place for the last fourteen years, has ten -11 aered his resignation of the pastorate to |. take effect on the 31st of October next, !, and Abbeville will lose an able and!< learned preacher. He would well grace j1 a city pulpit, and his absence will be felt ] by our comtnuntiy. j. Col. Haskel's extra train run as!

Capt. J. X. King, and bis son As-J bury, of Ninety-Six, were in town last Monday. The Captain ban some of the. finest horses in the county, and be is [ raising more of the same kind. The Captain is a good judge and a lover of fine horses and appreciates a good newspaper?of course be takes the Prcsu and' Manner. A protracted meeting wa< held at Iteth-! lehein Church (Methodist) commencing' on Saturday, 23d and closing on Friday last. Services were conducted by the paster, Mr. Rogers, assisted by Revs. Elwell and Dukes. The meeting was an interesting one, and number accessions were made to the church. A protracted religions meeting hfSt1 been going on in the Baptist Church at tliis place since Monday, and good inter- j; est. has been manifested. The mee ing < will continue for several days longer. J' The public are invited to attend the extr- 1 cises. Rev. II. C. Smart is assisting the ' pastor Rev. R. X. Pratt. I Mil. W. G.

Under these circumstances T must nsk par- : i<m for the apparent mystery: suffice it toj: lay )ust now, that after the term is out that "j he recent election gave me, I will havescrv- " ;d my country and people for sixteen long;;' rears, of the best and most vigorous part of) ny life, with all of the ability that I possess- j. >d ?four years of military, and twelve of civil |' lie; and I now feel that the good people!

The darkey was knocked to j lie bottom of the well and an Immense mass , frock tumble down on him. The peopic i ear the vicinity of the well were startled by i lie roar of the falling wall. It- scorned to Jar t li'; earth and was destinetly heard for the : isinnce of one mile, l.onking in tiie direc-j Ion from which the sound came, they saw a! iiluin ii of dust rising from tee well and they , t once pul out for the scene. Oil arriving at lie well, they found that a deep quiet reigned, j looking down, llie wall was seen to have unk for a distance of ten feet from Ihe top,' nd lower down near the bottom the well was | ntirely blocked up by llie displaced rock. ' i All at once concluded that the man Johnton, wns crushed to death beneath tlie load 1'rock, but after some one had called ills anie two or three times, there came from be- . jw the rocks a sound that Was readily recogized as Johnston's voice.

I have bec/i request- d :o '.?peak out" us to! II ecuifc o! typhoid fever In our nt;d-l, audi u< t<> ils prevt nilon.

Is par excellence the ! fever of fecal decomposition. ' The name typhoid is inappropriate, having reference only to the stupor of the patient.; i'lie (ierimtu writers, our be.-t medical author- j iliesofthe day, call it abdominal typhu*. The Knslish describe it as an eccentric or ile.ityplnis, hivitia reletciu-c tothe characteristic! Intestinal lesions.

The Ameriran I'ublic Health Association have leathered up fuel-: during the outbreaks of tills (ever in North llosioii, in New Vorl: and othsr places, j p.ovlir.'that the disease is caused by breath-! Insi air coHtal-iui j ellinvla from decomposing I matter, animal or vegetable, ami especially !

It Is! ulmllteil liy all tntclllucnt physicians, that lliis enteric or pythogenlc lever, so well known to our people as typhoid, Is not In the usual sense of the term, contusions; that It is not eot?ve.ved from one person lo another hy | the touch or by the breath, and that attendints on the sick rarely, if ever, take the disease fr<in? tliein. The communication of the iisease by means of the emanation from the uiiTaee of the body to oilier patients Is so are, that there Is no necessity for isolation ?n thai account. Our highest authorities leeni to naree that If there is any contagion it Is irom the dejections from typhoid patents, the gerin of the fever supposed to be a peculiar "fungoid or eonlervold" growth, iiiultlplylnii Itself in the water of wells, cisterns or springs exposed to the contagion, [ 'lint, t'.instat t. Iludd, Watson and other asiert facts hard to explain wi'.hout admitting tills theory. Admitting then the foregoing statement i jased on the best information I can get on the IIIIJIVI, W Hill ill I- IMK HIV.!.-,,.... ion? Considering the source trom which the oiitn^inn of fyi>li>ii<l lever enters the system t becomes our duly to take suilnMc preenuionary measures, both against the coutiunlmtion of the nir we breathe, and the water j .w drink, and In the exposure of our people! > t lie Influence of media thus contaminated, j IIte physician having typhoid patients under realmeiit *hon:d In every c:ise have their 'vacuations disinfected before being emptied ntoa common privy, cesspool or sewer( or oil pen ground. It. would he a pood precaution o bury the typhoid dejections,alid where by to p't>sl 1)1 illy tiiey can pollute drinking waer by drainage into, or percolation through' lies-ill, to wells, cisterns or springs, The ap-t earnnee and taste of such water may give no ( vidowoe of pollution; water containing tliej ipeclal cause or this disease may seem 10 ne: emarkahly pure ami agrrcHlilc. Any wells lear to privies <>r drainage liable to containi-j late them should not he used during an epllemic of tvplioid fever.
