Last Monday afternoon at the close of their movements on horse bark the Redshirts. lifted their Chief Major Zeiyfler. from nis horse carrid him up stairs In the hotel, and placed him on the piazza, demanding a speech of him. Captain John E. Bradley introducing him said : "Napoleon, in his greatest glory never folt prouder of any achievement than the people of Abbeville county feel for their fellow citizen, Major M.* G. Zei^ler. whose achievements on the battle field have*only been equalled by his zeal and determination to advance the interest of Democracy in South Carolina. He is the Hampton of Abbeville ountv." ? ' - 1- a 1 ne people so mr inorwueimni Zeigler bv their vociferous cheering that he could hardly speak. But finally he made out to say that South Carolina is right, Abbevilleoounty never was wrong, and that Cleveland and Hendricks in his honest opinion would be elected by a majority of two million five hundred thousand votes. This brought down the course and all of out of doors. The Redshirt display was a grand and overwhelming success, and Major Zeigler insists that great credit is due to Captain <5. Newt. Nick lea of Long Cane for his energy and tact iu this imposing pageant. We Hope He May Not Go. Mr. Robert Anderson, of White Hall, was in town last Monday, the first time he has been in town for several years. He lives on a portion of the Laurens lands, and has prospered well in this world's goods, and we regret to learn .that so good a citizen is contemplating a removal to Arkansas. He has a family of grown sons and daughters, and on their account, as well as on his own, do we rewrot hia riAnirtnro from the land of their nativity. Wo fear that when it i? too late they will sigh for the old place again. We trust that all of our citizens who contemplate going off, will profit br the experience of a lately returned neighbor who recently sought a ho:ne in Florida. Rock Hill School House Burned. The colored school house known by this name located near Mr. T. P. Millford's residence, five miles Northwest ??| Abbeville, was dcstrcyed by fire abotii eleven o'clock last Monday night. TinImpression is that two or throe men. uikder the influence of liquor, while on tneir road home from the big meeting at Abbeville, had stopped there for awhile in the early part of the night, and that the burning resulted from carelessness on their part. The building was of very little money value, but was a useful hou>e to the colored |>?ople, who had bought the land, and ouilt the house by their own exertions. A Just Court. At the last Court we had as good juries as ever sat in Abbeville county, and their verdicts meet the highest approval of the public. They exercised their manhood in deciding cases strictly according to the law and the evidence, without reference to the color of the accused. The monotony of convicting every negro that wa? rharged with crime was <-hange<T and many of them were acquitted. We believe the verdicts ol this Court, as a rule, were lust, and wp believe the same may be said of the sentences. Tub corner stone, which has just been placed on the corner next to Quarles A Thomas' store, and which hit* Iwen surmounted by a handsome sheet iron pinnacle, the handiwork of Mr. George Sliillito, atJ. H. Simmons', has a history, it was part of a stone column in the upper porch of a Court House at Abbeville, which was built of stone and brick, and was first placed in fKisition in 18"J9. The contractor in building that structure used Kaolin from the kiln on Mr. \V. H. Parker's place instead of lime, the sharp contractor imposing upon confiding Commissioner*. That house in a few years gave unmistakable signs of falling.* The contract for a new Court Mouse was given, and the old building was sold to Mr. T. C. Perrln, when the stone column was placed under the corner of a barn or crib. That building in turn was recently torn down, and the column was brought back So the square last week and pla>*ed in (Kindlon where lUiow stands, and will in all probability, stand until this generation shall have passed away. Rev. W. F. Pearson, pastor of Greenville and Uppbr Long Cane churches was in town Monday. He is talking of printing in pamphlet form the sermons by l>r. Palmer, and the sketches of the churches by Mr. I'empleton and Dr. Lindsay. We think the histories which have been prepared with such care, and the able sermons hi? Hr Pulinpr arA u nrt liv iif ? nAN manent preservation. The history of the churches in a history in winch every member should fe*tl a personal interest and a commendable pride. If the history vhould be printed let the authors add whatever they may think best. The v name of every meml?r o1 the church should also l?e recorded in the publication that descendants may know of the honhonorable part which their ancestors acted So the history. We had the pleasure of a call iast Monday from our big hearted and worthy friend Capt. E. C. Siinpkins, of Troy, who says that he is going to tike up his head quarters in the future in that old town, which has been sound asleep so long, but which has now been &o thoroughly awakened, that it is now one of the most progressive tow ns in the State. Captain Simpkins will, we know, meet a hearty reception fro n the good people of Lauren*. He deserves their good grace*, and we turn him over to our good friend* of the Herald and the Merchant and f armer ana we kii??w it win ue mnr pleasure to give him * good send off. The Captain is a man ol the right stamp. Mr. James McCaklaw lost his gin! house by tiro last week. This is a heavy j loss, and was occasioned, it is supposed, by a match in the seed cotton. When the fire was first discovered it could have been put out by a bucket of water, this! fact should impress cpon gin-owners the necessity of keeping barrelsof water con-! venient for use in cases like this. As it; was. Squire McCaslan, or his employt-es, j got water on the spot in time to save four of the sixteen bales of cotton. Besides twelve bales of cotton the Squire lost a flaw $150 gin, and other new machinery 'frith the house. Loss tully $1,000. The Grefehwood and Latirens Railroad is reported to be finished to within sis miles of Laurens villiage, and it is said the grading of the road from Laurens ha* n _ ? _ A ? rAHI UtJCTI .Illllljlltu, CJLUopb a low villa nuu ,;HlU" which are now being finished; We prfiStifhe the iron will first be laid to 8partanbrirg, and then from Laurens to Greenville. The Spartan's .ffrfe' presume, would feel dfadnpointeB If the thick layers should lake the Greenville bratfcb of the track. Mr. J. Y. Jones of this ttf&h; is now holding an important office on the G'feen wood and Laurens Railroad. His practical business qualities, and his high integrity entitle him to the best honors which the company can confer upon him. The only aerious objection which can l?e Urged against him is the fact that he is unmarried. A man of excellent character should set the rest of us the best of examples. Due West had a large and enthusiastic meeting on Saturday last. The following gentlemen addressed the meeting : Messrs. W. O. Bradley, J. L. Orr. E. G. Graydon, D. H. Magiil, M. L. Bonhain, John Nance, and Prof. John MiUer bfflciated as chairman. The young gentlemen of Erskine and the young ladles 6f the Female College helped to swell the fcrowd.- Every one was highly pleased. Almost a Tiro. I Mr. John Wilkerson found a spark of; fire last Saturday in a bale ot cottoni which he had just packed at his gin at! White Hall. A bucket of water prompt- j ly subdued the tire, and thus a cotton tire was prevented. ? Compliment. Zelgler's mounted red-shirts and the band stopped last Monday in front of the. i house of W. O. Bradley, Esq., and called : upon him for a speech*, to which he re-: sponded in a graceful and happy way. Mr. William Samuel Wilson* of this vicinity is ojio of the best tenants in this i County. He has been renting the same! piece of land for six years, aiul the owner has not been on it but twice in that time. Mr. Wiltnn always pays promptly and one day last week ho expected m??et at Abbeville the lessee to whom ?*ie rent was due, and not finding him he fodo -I .-Moo C..-I I.. - fi.,,1 l.i... A fan. ant like thin is a treasure, anil Mr. Devlin had better lookout or he may find that others will offer his tenant inducements to change hi* home. JrrxJE At.nnicH, noble in his youth, powerful in his manhood, and admirable in his aire, finished a two-weeks session of the Court at Abl?evllle last Saturday. He left Abl?eville last Tuesday after going to the |?olls, where ho, one of the judges of the State, had not as great a privilege as the humblest negro in the county. He could not vote, he could enly look on, although he has asonwhoisa candidate for Presiuential Elector. The great I)r. Palmer who delighted this community by the delivery of several of his splendid sermons in October, refused to take the pur>e of ?I25 which Mr. Pearson's congregations made up for him. Mr. Pearson now proposes to spen t me money m priming nn duimom and tlie historical sketches which wore delivered on the centennial oe<*asion. The suggestion is a good one, which will no doubt be carried out. Mrs. W. S. Bell of Greenwood died at her home last Wednesday after a lingering illness. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn her death.) She whs a pious woman, devoted and af- i lectionate, and whose death is an irreparable loss. Her life was adcrned by all the Christian traces, and she no doubtj has realized the fruition of the Christian's, hope. Mr. o'neallof Greenwood now owns "Governor," the biggest and strongest mule in Abbeville county, or he will be the strongest as soon as he gets him weatherbnarded. He is sixteen and a half hands hiyh, and is big in the proper ( proportions. If Mr. O'Neal! ever finds| any work which Governor can' do, we j should like to hear of it. We hear that quite a number of those who contemplate going to Arkansas from White Hall are "weakening" on the trip, and well they may. Those who go off in a hurry neutrally come hack the same way. There's no place like home. There is n<> need of troiiig hack on old Abl>eville for aov spot of ground on this earth. Mr. J. A. Milwek, who has Ix-en sticking type in the Press and Banner olfi'-e sinee last February, is now at work on the Messenger. He is a sjood hand, and 1 >ves to work all night on ;c a week. He will till a needed demand in I lie office of om neighlMir, and we hope that each may be benefited. Walter Lowry Miller, Esq., has been quite successful at this court. None of his cases went against him. He makes a tine beginning, and we have no doubt of his success as a lawver. Thoroughly reliable, studious, and attentive, ho will merit a high place among his brethren of the legal profession. Dr. 0. P. Hawthorn, as true a friend and as big hearted man as ever greeted a neighbor, was a listener to the speeches last Sale Day. He does not write often lately, but we h ?pe he may not |?t his pen rest in the future. Write again Doetor. Your effusions are always rcaJ with interest. The speakers in the flatwoods last Saturday were Messrs. S. C. Cason, H. T. Wardlaw, It. R. Hemphill, W. H. Parker. A glorious time was had, and if there were any lukewarm Democrats, they were thoroughly wanned over and made ready for the great day. It is sjiid that the old "Alston House," one of the best houses in town, must go. A splendid brick livery stable is to occu I?y tbe upper corner or tuc mi. for a longtime we had no livery stable, but now we are to have three lirst class institution* of that. Mrh. Margaret Cater, wife of the late Rev. Edwin Cater ami daughter of Rev. Dr. W. H. Barr, for manv years pastor of Up|>er Long Cane Church, died it the residence of Mrs. K. \V. Cater Smith in Sotnerville Tennessee on August -J9th 1^84. Dr. Martin preached his farewell sermon oil Sunday last. It was a forcible etl'ort ai d the closing remark- to the cn;rfcic.iti(iu were veiy touching. The atendance wun .large. Dr. Martin is an tide preacher and our community will niss him. Presidential Elector W. c. Benet nas won golden opin.oils from the public lor the con duet of the campaign in his District. May he be elected to vote for Cleveland and Hendricks. It is a rare honor to be entrusted with :liu vote of a suite. . The village loLs advertised tor sale by Rev. Jas. L. Martin will be postponed on account of the political excitement until the ttrst Monday in December next. Persons who desire to purchase at private sale will please apply to B. S. Barnwell. Mr. .James \V. Martin, formerly ofj this office, but now of the Greenville Sews, was in lawn one day last week, on j a visit to his in >iher. He is looking well, and we have no doubt editor Williams has crammed him well with evolution. .MR. J. K. .UAHKE IS lUIKIII^ oj goim; off to Hie bitf West to teach school. We have no doubt that there is a need for the j services of a schoolmaster out there, but I whether he will get better pay than he jjels here remains to be seen. Owing to the fact that our paper does not appear until after the election, we do not alteiupt to give any extended account of the recent political meetings in this county. Our people are now more anxious about election returns. About a dozen colored men left Ver-1 ilerv a few days ago for Florida. They j will be likely to wish that they were back ! within reach of the old Promised Land, where they could hear somo good old or- j thodox preaching. The time for paying taxes, without' penalty, expires on Monday, the Kith in-j stant. Pay your taxes at once. We have, extended the time for the payment of subscriptio is to the Press and Banner to, the 15th instant.

Eu-; >fene B. G?ry, Jaines H. Rife. John E. Bradley, W. C. MeGowan, (J. A. C. Waller, made siirirng speeches. Mrs. Gass, formerly Miss Ivy Perrin, who is so much beloved in this com mil- i nity, returned to her mother's last week, j on a vidt, leaving her husband at Sewa-j nee. He will iume later. Rev. Mr. Hanckel is the next essayist for the Abbevillo Literary Club. \V. Lowry Miller, Esq., is his alternate. Mr. Hanckel's subject is "Iconoclasm?ancient and modern." The new Methodist church at Donaldsville will be dedicated on next Sun-; day, November 9;h. Rev. W. W. Dun-; can, of Wofford College, will preach the dedication sermon. Mr. Richard Coitrtney Wilson, of, the Press and Banner office is a ifood I printer. With plenty of type and Home! stock lie can do a goud joli ot printing, j Give him a trial. A few kind friends did not forget th Press and /fanner last Sale Day, even! amid tne excitement of the day. Wei should look for other friends within the, next few days. A number of ladies gra?ed the hotel ' phzza last Monday from which the! speakers enlightened their audience on ; lampaign questions. Koses adorned tlie dusty desert. Mr. James A. Rioby, of Honea Path, was in town last Monday, lie talks of| going to White Hall, where the crops j never fall, and where sickness never comes Messrs. 0. T. Calhoun and L. W. j Smith made speeches at the Troy meet-, ing, which was well attended, and which | meeting paid the speakers their best honors. j Mr. Oscar Cromer met with a loss at Kis mill <?n Captain Carwile's place in | White Hall, one day last week.

Don't fail to read the interesting letter : of Miss L. G. We hope that *he mav favor 11s with oth?T letters. The stylo is fine, aiid the matter is Interesting. Mr. E. Y. Seymour is merchandising ftt Bradl&y; May lie grow rich and hiapHe may get fu-h, bift he can never i be Happy until he gets married. The cry next year will be "corn." i "corn," and there will be no corn for) those who have no money, unless th'ey i put tipKOod collaterals. Mr. Joseph Bowen has not yet de-j livered the present of a mule colt which I we have been expecting, tie is waiting to winter it f >r us. Maj. Zeiolkr commanded the red-, shirts last Monday, and they obeyed their officers with pride to themselves and honor to I heir ofh- er. County Chairman Benet wore a redshirt lasfMonday, a'ld so did Sheriff DuPre, who is nigVer behind on any patriotic , service. j ! Thk farmers never had a better timei in which to ^atlier their cotton. So lar, we have had no stained cotton in the market. Various horses and vehicles were offered for giilo last Sale Dav, but tfce low price generally bid, failed to get the articles. Mu. W. E. McNair is a Democrat of the truest kind, and no doubt swelled the Democratic majority yesterday by one vote. Mr. Drayton Nance, of Due West, is quite ill. He is a good citizen and his fripnHs will Iia nrrn' In liP.ir nf his sick ness. Thf. colored brass band of Dona'ds led the procession of Kedshirts in Abbeville last Monday. A splendid band it Is too. Mr. J. Turner Jordan, son of Mr. I). J. Jordan, was in town hist week. He was a faithful soldier in the 19th S. 0. V. Do you want to trade a good colt for a one-horse wagon and harness? If so, call at the office of the Press and Banner. The colored band played at Greenwood last Saturday in a manner which must have l>een discouracing to the Rads. Thk Messrs. Lomax, at Verdery run a good mill and gin. Their customers praise them and their machinery. Dr. Hudoens, of Honea Path, was at Abbeville on Mondav last. His old comrades are always glad to see him. Horsk flesh is cheap now. The prospect of wintering a useless horse on bought corn scares some people. Dits. M. C. Taooart, and J. L.

Iadvocated the bill fixing the legal rate of Interest at *oven per cent, when I wits, at Uictinie, a money lender, because I tiel eved it was lor the general Interest of the people to eh eel* the cxoi liitant rales of Interest on money then e'nirgeU, and that It would cjiune, as I believe It has done, much of the Iloutliii; capital of the country to j;o into mann:?aciurluu, whleh was inu.-h needed to diversify our industries, and thusdctv(o) oour resotirecs. I, at that t line, opposed the repeal of the lien law, because I then bi*iiev?*i| til it the oeee-sities of tlw; ueople demanded It | continuance for u lew years. hut I confess I I did not foresee the nbusies to which It was III utile. I was inclined to I'mvor ii because It whs the only net ever pushed by (lie legislature pro. fess-diy and specifleally In the Interest of the farmers. And yet it has been a curse to them. And why ? Itccauge it encouraged extravagance, It put the luriner in the power ot the one merchant to whom he gave a lien, it induced merchants, because of large prospective profits, to "run" almost >uiy man who could net up an o'd mule, or an ox, and thus to put into tile Held a* farmers, men who were utterly Incompetent to manage a farm (successfully. Thus it proved an Injury alike to the ! land owner, to the firmer, ami to the merchant. The merchant, in accordance with a principle of political economy, "the greater the risk the morehcinust lie paid." puta hlith I price upon his goodssold, on time, to the responsible, and the Irresponsible buyers alike, thus virtually making responsible buyers pay in part ids losses from Imd customers, so great was the risk incurred in such a policy that In many cases the rate percent, put upon goods was enormous. I do not say it whs the case every where, but I knew corn to lie sold last mar h at 8 > cents per bushel cash, and 81.2>on time. Uii ier lieu, for only ab;?ut seven mouths, iiacon, flour, and other groceries, about in the same proportion. That Is t iitionl Seveniy-nve pur ceiuum peraiimiui, miu I said on the stump Unit no industry could stand such n burden ns that, not even ?:oldm11?lritr. and It was only a question of time when those who pursued that course would become bankrupt. Por utterlnz such opinions, truths us I claim litem to be. I was severely handled by some merchants. Suppose corn was sold at SI.1(? for six months, that is Mxfvvper cent p*r annum. Let those merchanls only whom it fits, wear It. I may lie permitted to refer loletly to the old "bond question," which I foon I umsstill used against, me. 1 do not Idantc ihe people as mtien us I do the few who wilfully misrepresented me on that subject.. It was icported by designing enemies, th 't I "voied against the bonds at one session and in f ivor ot them at the next session." while the fact- is that no vote w.is ever t iken uoon the question of paying a:ty class of bonds. It was a subject dilllcult to be Understood even by those who gave It thought and careful studv so thnt the average voter was easily deceived upon a subject about which the whole S' at e was sensitive. At the tint session I opposed the recognition of any part of the Stale's indebtedness, boc-u-e 1 knew almost nothing ab nit It. I thereittre oppc'H"dAction at that session, and favored the appointuient ??f a committee to thnrouiihly examine Ihe whole debt question, and to report at the next session. The committee w is appointed, a >d they examined the qtlesti >u for months with great care and inielliueilee, and I was surprise I to lint) t.h it s i little of Ihe debt w-is entirely fraudulent, and !...? /.? U Hf .u marj ni-lnvu f ilntptl: llnVC to get. nt it was the trouh.e. There was a strong disposition to repudiate?it was popular. I was tol'j by a disiiujjulhcd senator anil personal friend that I was, by my co.irse, committing "political suicide." I replied tiiat tint hadn't Ihc slightest influence with m<? that I intended to do what 1 thought was right, and iny duly. One of our members, at. one litne, expressed an opinion In favor of ' wholesale repudiation," that It. would eonie tothalat last. This wsis a calamity that I strove to avoid. I remembered the llnaneial history of .Mississippi in Its tliiwh times* it> aetor repudiation.and Ihc los< of lis credit for near a half century, licllevini; that such action by the legislature would not settle the d'-bt question, hut would certainly si-Ule the credit Of the State, f, as I.tras I know, was the first lostiguest that it was n ?t properly a !? * i.-hi'iv>* question, hut a Juillelal one, and should be taken out. ol ill'.1 hands of the leyi-latiire, and submitted to a special court. After a weeks discussion that was done, and it was so manifes'ly fair tluct the homl-holdc s never cirried it beyond thecouris of the Stale. If we had attempted to scille tne question by any repudiation I he danger was that li would have been carried to the .Supreme Court of the United states, and the sire.it probability was that that court wouiu have boon imalnst us. Our credit would have been uone. an.l we mil id not. have been able, us It l< claimed we will be, lo refund our debt. nt 4 p'T cent, ami thus save g;40,<00 in interest every your. If theft* Is one single act of legislation in whicli I took pa-t. and on which I inlJe myself mast II Is (lint of the "bond question." The queslinii was discussed for on* w?*ek, and ajtidge now on the circuit bench, who was, al ill it time, a Sciator, and who was on tlie coin in tice of conference with myself, said to me. a year ago. that that weeks work was the best th.it had ever been done for South Carolina. It is hard'.y necessary for me to say that neither I nor any member of my family ever nad any |cr.s>nnl Interest either Uircetly or inditectiy, in any Slate bonds or stocks as eniinies industriously reported; nor wiisl ever "ollered S-'jOJ not to speak against the bonds" as I have heard that a member said was ottered to him. This, I suppose, was said togaiu I tie credit of refusing such an oiler, hut it was certainly creditable lohim that in* could lie appointed in that way. N.i man oared to approach me witii any corrupt proposition, nor did I he tr until some tune afier on the stump that "plenty of money was Hying about in the air" for such a purpose. I don't believe a ? ord of it, 'twas more donmgo^ism. I Was inju'ed by reports that I was not ? citizen of Abbeville, that I paid no taxes, owned no property here. The County records would hav** satisfied any Just and fairminded man on that subject. Men who circulated such reports without seeking the Information which was in leu eh are not such citizens as Abbeville should be proud of, and I suspect pay very little taxes themselves. Again it was reported by a "Methodist" thai I compromised:?l?o.iuc-t made by my l.ilcui.e. of one thousand dollars to Wollord College, by paying $<00. This is false. The laets arc, I paid eUht hundicd dollars, and look a receipt from the financial secretary "on account ?i ieg.icy reserving iin minimi; uiiiii u mi.11 settlenient. 1 claimed thai each legatee should bear a proportionate pail of tl.e expense ofsettleiuent. Tin- tr us lees ol the college did notthink so, l>ut I proposed to subiiiit the question to the Judge of Probate. I sunmiltcd all my vouchers* ami left tile settlement to the court, and lie decided to allow the expense ol 6J and the Hell lenient was made accordingly. Tins is particularly lor my Methodist hrelhron. It was further said hy the sime authority thai I was in "favor ol the University." He had no right to say so. It was not made a question tu the can vass and I expressed no opinion^ In the session of'78 I opposed the open Im; of the Univer-iiy became I thought It wiifi premature?that lhe Slate was pot In a Condition,at that timet to pill It upon such a scale as Would meet my approval. Ii has been opened, but it is not ol the high grade I would like to see it. Hut the trustees are patriotic. Intelligent and highly educated gentlemen and have done the best that the limited impropriations wotiid allow. You can't make a first-class university In a year, nor five, nor ten years. It Is the growth of time, and I hope its desituy may hot fall into the hands of short-si 12hied, time-serving |K>llticlans. Columbia College, of New York, In Colonial days called King's College, was revived Just one hundred years a;:o to be the "mother of an university." After many false starts It reached that proud distinction in about seventy-five years, and now has almost as many piofessorsas she had students in old days. 1 will not now say anything about evident defections and party combinations. They he lons?t<> the "trade" of politics, ami every candidate must take his chances of Such luetics. I retire from ttie Ilt-ld o!' politic*, which has never l>een congenial 10 my tastes, with a deep senseofgmtltude to I lie many and Intelligent friends who supported me, and witn mi unkind feelings to the large tiodv of these who pieferred others. I hope that from the number of lawyers you have In ihe next I-cjIslulure, you may have some good laws enacted In the interest of the farmers. F. A. CONNER. The War ronton C ureli.
