I 1 II- . iiie Press and Banner By Huffh Wilson. 11. Wednesday, Sept. 17,1884, Fire Extinguisher. Messrs. Meredith & Latimer made an exhibition Monday at McMillan's mill of their steam tire extinguisher in the presence of quite a crowd of spectators. Ti e Sumter Watchman and Southron makes this description of the extinguisher : "The steam and hot water is conducted from the boiler through iron piping into me Kill nouse, aim liiioi^ii n ]vu.>i?.n. hall is distributed all over the building with a force and rapidity that is truly wonderful. The hot spray acts as a damper on the oxygen of the air and renders further combustion impossible. It seems ndiniiably adapted also for laying the dust of the lint-rooin. The extinguisher was on exhibition at the late State fair where a room partly filled with shavings and lint cotton saturated with oil was set on tire. In one minute by the watch the lire which had gained considerable headway was completely extinguished." Mr. A. C. Latimer is a native of Abbeville county and is well known to our people as a man thoroughly reliable in every way, and any representation he may'make of this valuable invention may be trusted iinplictly. Abbeville haf no truer or better son than A. C. Latimer.! Mr. Meredith was an engineer on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, and he too, is well and favorably known to many of our people. The Abbeville High School. Our Hign School opened on Monday under most favorable auspices. Prorupt-: ly at nine o'clock seventy-five pupils enter* d the rooms.

A newspaper correspondent in speaking of the different costumes said "her toilet was very handsome/' From the reading of the list of campaign speakers it would seem that the honorary titlo of "Colonel" is at a iliacount. "Honorable" now may be prefixed to any gentleman's name. We are glad to see that Gov. Perry has got rid of the dyspepsia which lw>thered him. He certifies to the fact in the Greenville Xewx or we would never have believed he was at all sickly. The forms of the Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer are now nicely arranged.

[Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer.'] The advent of this^entlerann to Greenville caused a ripple In tb? hearts of many which will widen and widen in its Influence fur good. PurlUK his visit to our city our people had the opportunity and pleasure of listening to twenty-nine able sermons from him. He preached every day at 10:30 a. ni., and at 8:30 p. m., and drew large and appreciative con* gregatlons, which consisted of all classes of society, from the broadest In culture to the narrowest, by his eloquence. To go and hear him once meant to go again and again ; and and he had the rare power of drawing inen away during business hours, from the pursuit of money. No one could listen to one sermon from Dr. Burkhes d and doubt his singleness of purpose in doing good. And the I/Oid abundantly blessed his efforts, lor, through his zeal, twenty-five persons were taught to love and acknowledge their Savoir. They united with the Presbyterian Church. His diction was admirable In Its simplicity, being of the purest Anglo-Saxon type, which explained the truths taught in the Holy Bible in a manner that wn? within the comprehension of a child, whilst holding the most leurned not spell-bound but deeply Interested. His subjects of discourse were selected with great care, evidently for the purpose of saving souls, and not for the parpose of displaying his learning and oratorical powers. His quotations were chiefly from the Bible and not Jrom profane authors. His greatest charm was earnestness. The Inst sermon which he preached here was rounded on the forty-second verse of the tenth chapter of the G?spel by St. Luke: "But one thing Is needful: and Mary hath chosed the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." In this sermon he clearly proved that we can neither live nor die without "the thing needful," and exhorted all to obtain It now whilst it Is freely ottered "without money and without price." Muny years ago Pr. Burkhead?who Is now in the meridian of life?preachcd at Greenwood In Abbeville county. At the close of the war he moved tnTexus. where he has been laboring in the cause of his Church ever since. He and the venerable Pr. Held of Reldvllle are brothers-in-law. having married sisters.

KuceeNtloaH for an Improvement. | Editor press ami Banner: I Occasionally you Lave something to sny ! nbout the Road Ltnv of south Carolina, unit you, I and others abuse it as It 1*, but neither fif n? pvit siilvpuis nn iirnemlmeat. About a ! year ago senator IUit;cr undertook to solve 1 the problem of improving our system of road I working, but to use a vulgarism with "Sena' torial courtesy/' I think the .Senator "bit off ! more than he coulil chaw." .Now, if our presI cut law is to continue, I respectfully suggest i to our Legislature one amendment that I I know I* pructicable, and I think would beac! eeptahle to the people, and that is to require J the twelve d tys of road working to be taken I from the four winter months, November, I December, January, and February. A public I road that Is well worked In November will remain in good order until Christmas, and if left In first rate condition on the 'J8ih of February, will need uo more work till November. Out how are they managed under existing law ? Let me speak for Abbeville county. No rain fell in this county from'JOlh August til the liih of September. About 1st September, when the roads were hard and dusty, I he commissioners ordered 'the roads to be well worked by the ISth of September," or penally would attach, &c. Tiavelllng over the county on the 4th of September, I "overtook a gang of sevemeen stalwurt men, each with his hoe oil his shoulder. Said J, "where arc you going?" "Working the roads." was the reply. Presently they encountered a patch of weeds that had grown up around an avoided mud hole, and in a trice they were leveled to I ho ground. Within thrte hni-dred yards, lying in the road :>vei which this gang had walked were more than a carl load ot Hint stones, not one of which had been thrown uside. Which were the more harmful the weeds or the stones ? Two days later, while driving up a gentle ascent, I crossed a ditch, nicely hoed out, designed to pour all the rain water iutolht gully on one side of the road whilst nature had ! - ........ ??.lh wl,l..w UI I'l'ili CU IX ?nt? rAWiivni uimh. wU v -..i . , Near by lay four hoesand an old axet and Just in the edge of the woods sat five negro men | playing cart Is. As I drove up,one fellow with I pipe iti mouth, from which caine volumes ol smok ', looking askance at me and grinning, threw down his card and shouted: Dill's in v trick; fools and Jack's always win." said I, "what are you doing here?" "Worken* de roads, sail,'' was the reply. It was then 3.15 P. M. During the night of the 10th instant, and the forenoon ot the ilth we had rain. Before n?H?n of the 11th 1 went to the overseer and a>ked, "shall I not warn out the road hands this afternoon ?" "Well, no,'' said he. "1 am j engaged to-day ami can't let mine go out." This rule would not have worked both ways.! Last Friday and Saturday, (lath and 11th) j were boautiiul days for so whig oats, and j Monday was also good, though stubble land was getting too hard from Sundays incessant wind. On Friday and Saturday perhaps one! thousands throughout the couniy were working the rdads, and some were ordeicd out again on Monday. During those three days those road workers could easily have sown 2,5'X) acres of oats, which would have yielded 2,oU0 bushels more next Spring than they will yield If sown two weeks hence. Which would be the more valuable to the county, the 2,500 bushels of extiH oats, or the miserable pretense oi a working given the roads during those three days? There are but three methods of improving our existing road law, and cither of the.n is entirely practicable, and can he enforced by legislation, and to them I call the especial attention ot our Democratic nominees tor (he Legislature. 1 1- irst, (and this is certainly fusible.) req aire I ti\ lmnriitlnn iitrimkL' lilt* real estate owners living beyond municipal limits Just so much mail for each one ami liis employees to keep in good travelling condition throughout the year, thereby abolishing all dead-heads, such as supervisors, overseers and wnruers. The Commissioners are paid servants, and If they were required to do this they could he held responsible lor the condition of the roads. a Secondly?Let the roads to the vjwest bidders as we do bridges. Many woulu -c>>ject to this method, because it means Increased taxation, but it wolild be a vast economy ultimately. * Thirdly?Work the roads with convict labor, and not sell that labor (as 1:- reported to be done at present,) lor less than it is woith to Northern manufacturers who invariably invest their surplus earnings beyond the limits of the State. This last is. to my mind, the system to be most recommended. TAX PAYER. + ? m ? Greenwood Items. The equinoctial gale brought a good season and fall of several points In.the thermometer, which makes tires and overcoats comfortable. Oat sowing will begin in earnest this week. Mr. J. A.

In this enlightened ugealmost a continual wave or retorni sweeps over the country?a continental warfare is u*ged against some of the many vices to which our carnal nature* are prone.

We have long held the opinion that the inosauito is an unmitigated scoundrel, who could give our own lively flea six stones and a beating over a long course ; but we are now convinced. A gentleman has examined Mr, Mosquito under a microscope, and his descrlp-* Hon is, to say the least, startling. It appears tliut In the "bill" of the little beast alone there are no fewer than live distinct surgical instruments. These are described as u lance, two meat saws, a suction pump, and a small Corliss steam engine. It appears that when a "skeeter" settles down to his work upon a nice, tender portion of the human frame the lance Is first pushed Into the flesh, then the i two saws, placed back to back, begin to work , up and down to enlarge the the hole, then the pump Is inserted and the victim's blood Is siphoned up to the reservoirs, carried behind, and finally, to complete ttio cruelty of the performance, the wretch drops a quantity of poison into the wound to keep l? Irritated.
