BHHHBHSranii, Banner. i:vir^T.y:. s.c. SBB^^ednosdny, Oct. 6. 1G84. 9n The Meeting1 Yesterday. H Yesterday will tnark another memoraHH t-Iu daV In Abbeville. It was a red let |H tor day In tho cant-ass of Abbeville connM| ty, nay more, it was a red shirt day. It 9R will be memorable tor many reasons ; foi HD the large attendance of red shirts and Jjflj other mounted men , for the manifest enMR thusiasm of the meeting; tor the excelHB lenee of the speeches on the occasion , foi the splendid dinner ; for the remarkable H eood order which was maintained t throughout tho da v. For these desirable remits we are lirgely indebted to Mr. lienet, County Chiiirman. Chief Marshal M. L. Bonham, jr., and the Executive Cmmittee, whc <ieM?rve mnch of the praise for the finest meeting which has be?n hold anywhere In the State in this campaign?or Mi not 1876. When we consider the Jong connnnocl drouth, the blazing heat, the clouds ol dust, the great distance which many ol tho red shirt company's had to travel, the f-hort crops, and, until yesterday, the Ilukowarmness ot tno campaign, u is nothing short of a marvel that tho Democracy of our grand old county made nr> magnificent a muster yesterday. It \\ &s f n cUsy matter in 187*; to have n grand gathering of the Dem-xu ttio clans. Tlicn excitement was at fever heat; tho country was in tho throes ot a revolution ; every DoiRoorat m South Carolina felt then that he had tr? do or die. liut to-day the Stateis fcro f.ir ns regards the State and CountylpftvrTimeuls. The blessings enjoyed for tho last eight yetirs of home rule and honest governtnont lutrft lulled our nfloolo iu*o a con* Idition of blissful serenity ; and It is hard to excite in them an interest in the mighty contcst now being waged for tho control of the national government. Those of our readers who have perused the ac counts of mass meetings in this campaign must have been struck with the lukc* wnrmness that has characterized thorn. But tho charge of lukewnrmness can no longer be made at least to the Abbeville Democracy. I: TJOvornor Thompson never maae u rjciicr speech. Attorney General Miles spoke with a fervor, excelling all his former efforts. Gov. Hampton was carried - away with tho enthusiasm of the occasion, and made the best speech of bis life. Col. Aikon in his eloquence recalled "Big Tuesday" of 1876. Mr. JohnKtoue of Newberry, delighted the audience with his eloquence, and Colonel (Jibbes of i'lorlda, with his fund of anecdotes, kept a hungry crowd from the barbecue tables - -iur half an hour. Complimentary to Abbeville. W. C. Bonet, Esq., Presidential E!ecor for this District, ha? b^cn on the fcir.nd rounds with the campaign speak"en*, and on ea<-h occasion his speech has "occasioned pleasant comment of the press. As Mr. Benct, being Chairman of the Abbevilto meeting, did not speak yester'day, we give the remarks by the reporter of the Xeus and Courier in reference to his Newbury speech last Friday: "The Hon. W. 0. Benet, the next -speaker, said he would admit that the VoiuinK tijcht was both unirjo and impor I Hunt. Its imi>orfanec and peruliarity were not that of free-trade agitihst tlio txriff, but it was unique because it was ; the tirst time in the country that pa; ties had divided on the issues of purity against bribery. It was, in fan, the Republic ligainst the Republican party, the American people against o tyranical dynasty of of office-holders, or, in other words, the reformer Cleveland against the robber lilaine. [Immense cheering and applause.] Mr. Uenet then eloborated this idea with great effect, and in tho short time allotted to him dalivered a remarkajfc bly clear and certainly one of the most f- eloquent and ringing speeches of the 5*r ttiinpaign. At its conclusion ho received a burst of applause and cheering." \fr llnni.t has inndfi such n pood im ? |>rcasion oil the people with whom ho has pv\ been in the campaign, that he will most likely he a prominent candidate for Con*7 gress at the next election. ~ _ _ Dr. Patton* The Avsociu!e Jie/onaed Presbyterian - of last woefc makes the following announfernent: "Our readers will be gratified to know that t?r. Patton, of the University of ;; Smith Carolina is to be one of the regular ? contributors to tho columns ol the PrexHlan. He takes his place with us as uponding Editor. He needs no ineUon to our readers. He wields the f a ready writer." Patton is one of the best scholars s Associate Reformed Presbyterian orwl 'ilthnncrh hft i?c ?

Tho Associate Rc&rmed Presbyi twiaus arc an educated people. j Opeuiti? of tho Colleges. _ _ riate Reformed Presbyterian, says : t ''Everything is looking to the opening nf the colleges next week. A full attend (nice is expected. We aro on the thresh hold of another year's work. It become tt* to assume it with a profound senseo onr own weakness and a joyous uppre iiension of the fuhiessof Him who prom . Jses gracc and strength." ?

It will be observed thai j while the increased valuation of oni lands amount to ?136,103, that there ha? j been a ver}- goneral shrink ago of person>ul property, both as to number and val [ ues. We cau look upon the decrease 01 j the number and value of horses, mules | cattle and hogs, with indifference, and w< ,can even exist after a decrcnso of twe i hundred and seventy-five polls, so lonj i as we are consoled bv the fact that 0111 1 i loss in dogs has been only 51. Even i '! our loss in hogs should be l,92o iu num j ber, and $ >,4So in value, we shall suffei i no uneasiness as to the safety and pro* perky of the county so long as ive car 1 keep our number of valuable dogs up tr ' , the present standard. While a dog wil j cat as much as a hog, they are much 1 j more valuable for barking at Intruders iv 1 home, and for running around at nights Jin spare time, policing their neighbor! ' lots and sheep pastures. Another sourc< [ I 1 of congratulation lies in the fact thai n without our present quota of dogs, tht M 'tmccufVtiQ onrl nr?r*r??a Sli^rttuuA \f 11 such an extont as to materially interfen 1 with tho poultry business.

That yictory will he worse than thrown away If yon do not hold It uow.
