j_r hi I tie Press and Banner' By Hugh Wilson. I Wednesday, Nov. 19,1884. j Disappointed Negroes. Not Ion if ago, a negro preacher had a cricular letter printed and distributed among hi* colored brethren, who seemed to think that the letter offered them great tract* of land and magnificent houses froe of cost. So elated and eveijoyed were they that they at once set to work to bargain off their hoga, cows, wagons, males, and whatever other traps they might own, at any price no matter how low. They did not care for the?e goods any longer. They were soon to reoeive free transportation over the railroads to fertile lands which were to be given to them without cost. Their day of deliverance from the ordinary toils and bardships which the poor meet at every turn, was beginning to dawn on them, and their happiness was greater than it was on the dav of the announcement of their freedom from personal bondage to their white masters. They were now to receive. aa a gift, splendid lands and houses in a delightful oountry where want and wniild n?r?r enme. and where sick lie** arid death were strangers. In a word thoir dream of heavenly bliss was to be more than realisod on this side of the great River. They would make no more contracts to rent land. They had laid down the shovel and the hoe, the plow stock bad been abandoned in the wheat field and the long eared mule had either been turned looso to wander over barren hills, or had been locked in the stable, there to wait for tome one else to awswer to bis needs for water, corn, and fodder. Happiness and joy lightod up the ebony facos, and old grudges against neighbors had beon forgiven in the most christian 3^ Kpirit. Visions of splendor, and ease and i* . comfort Ailed every thought and gave shape to every dream. The drawback was the slowness of time in bringing the appointed day to bring the bearer of glad tidings, when they might meet him face to face, and hear with their own ears, tho glorious news. Great ootnpanies of these deluded creatures were on hand while it was "yot night" of the appointed day. The long looked for and greatly idolised man was seen. An interview was quickly sought. He told them he wanted laborer? to work on some of the sugar or cotton plantations in the West and would pay them and their families liberal wages. A moro indignant set of negroes were never seen. They did not care to go off to work. They could find more of it here than tbey cared to do. All contracts for the sale of property wore immediately rescinded, and tbey are now in the low grounds of 1 sorrow, surrounded by the mandeof discontent, waiting for something to turn 1 ?p. Bine Blares. t Daring the tut week we have bad more fires than for a long time. We do not ^ know whether the political ferment in which the country has been so long, had { anything to do with it or not, but there are persons who are not averse to taking that view of the matter. If politics are at the bottom of it, we presume this mode of warfare will soon expend its active energy. The gin house of Mr. Frank Arnold, senior, was destroyed hy tire on Friday night, including thirty bales of cotton, and an immense quantity of cotton seed, the machinery and other property. The dwelling house of Mr. Henderson , at Boyd's mill was destroyed by fire on ( Friday night. Incendiary. t W. H. May's gin house at Bradley was > burnt the same night. ' Dr. Millwee's gin house went up Fri- ( day night. The superintendent of ma- i chinery watered out all the fire half an t hour before sundown, and made careful [ examination of the premises before leav- ! ing. Late in the night the place was dis- j oovered to be on fire. i Two stores were burnt at Troy the < aine night. The kegs of powder bad { been placed in the middle of the floor of : the store. The explosion scattered tbe fire and destroyed two stores. A most destructive fire occarr<d at McCormick oil Thursday nii^ht. This fire, it is said, originated from a defective stove pipe. The following are tbe losers by the McCormick fire : InsurLoss. ance. P. L. 8turkey *10,000 f 2,000 J. W. Peak 3,000 1,500 Jas. Cothran, Jr 2,000 1,000 J. A. Harmon <fc Bro 4,500 2,500 J. M.

McLean 250 none Cox A Andrews 200 none Deaths. Oar good old friend Vt . G. Kellsr is in tbe deepest affliction. His only brother, Jnaeph Kellei, aad his daughter, Mrs. Stts&n E. Puckett, died November 14th, 1884?the former in his 83rd year, the latter in her 55th year. Like Saul and Jonathan they "were lovely and pleasant !n their lives, and in their death they 1 were not divided." Joseph Keller was a member of tbe Baptist Chnrch, and was buried at Uopewell at twelve o'clock on the 15th Instant, the Rev. Mr. Smart conducting the funeral services. Mm. Puckett was buried at the old family burying ground, at Mount Pleasant, the Rev. J. Thomas Pate delivering the sermon and conducting the funeral services. We extepd sympathies to our old friend who buried his only brother in the mcmlng, and in the evening of the same day entombed the remains of a beloved daughter. Tbe Circus. , Tbe dread remained over Sunday. It aeems to be a pious circus, as it would not travel on Sunday. They gave two performances on Saturday. The attendance at night was better than it was in tho day time, which we think is indicative that the ahow gave at least reasonable satisfaction. None of their agents called at this office, and we were not tbe recipient of one of tbe five hundred complimentary tickets which were distributed about town. Somebody imbibed of whiskey too freely in advance of the circus ana gave out tickets indiscriminately. It is oaid, bo gave in some instance as many as twenty or thirty to one man. Tbe manager of tbe show kicked at first and heiitated to honor tbem, but findly did so with as good grace as possible. Tifriatt. The present town council are determined to enforce the ordinance against vagrancy in Abbeville. Last week one man and three women were arrested and caused to show how they were able to loaf daily about the streets. The good people of this town endorse any action which removes from the public square the "scabs" wno do not earn a livelihood. Mr*. Small, who has been absent for 1 eighteen veari, returned to the village j last Saturday on a visit to ber daughter, Mrs. Sassard. She says that the people j have changed so much since she left that i he knows very few of our citizens whom she bas seen. Those that were here be- ; fore she left have grown older and have changed much, but the great majority of < ' our poople are new citizens to ber. She i expresses herself well pleased with her \ ^ home in Columbia. Her old friends are j glad to see ber back, and are pleased to see that she looks almost as young as she i did before she left us. She meets a j hearty welcome back to ber old home. j Captain Mattison and Mr. Klugb ! are busy making tho office in readiness ' tor the annual straightening and the an* | nual report, which will be published at an early day. Captain Mattison has ; made a good and faithful officer, whose I j retirement is greatly regretted by many j of his friends. Mr. Klugh bas been a most efficient and a most courteous clerk, I whose services have been entirely ac- * ceptable to the public, and perfectly satis* factory to the County Commissioners. ] He is accurate in his figures and upright ; in bis actions Mb. Rookbs left town yesterday to ] look after the interest of bis western ] bouses at other point*, also to appoint | agents at other points to handle corn and I meat for them. He intends shipping corn to all towns in the up country. Buying in 10 and 15 car lots he can ofler < merchants who buy in one and two car i lots great advantages bv buying from I him. Mr. Rogers will not neglect his , home trade in looking after other points, l| but will keep on hand all the lime six or < eight car loads for his home trade. 1 Mb. Dbesdbx A. Smith, one of the ed- , itors of that most excellent country paper the Keouiee Courier, came to town last Saturday, and we met him in the office of the Medium. He did not honor , the editorial sanctum of the Press and Banner by a call, where a hearty wel-1 come awaited him. We wish bim good; jbck an ioe same, ana win Keep ms wei- j, oome on band for another trip. . On Consignment.?I will have to ar-! rive in the next ten days 5 car loads of prime white corn I will sell at these flg-i' vurea: In 100 bushel lota, 77$ cants; 50 bnshel Iota, 80 cents ; 25 bushel lota, 85 eenta. These prices are good until this lot of corn is disposed of. Now ia the the time to buy your corn from A. E. Rogers' Wholesale Store. Thk high school is now conducted in a moat aatitfactory manner, and the attendance of scholars is better than usual for this season of the year. Mr. Reid deserves and receives the cordial co-operation of the patrons of the sceool, and his assistants Misses White and Young give univeraal satisfaction. Coi?onelR. G. Bonham, solicitor of! the Edgefield Circuit, was in town last week visiting bis brother Capt. M. L.' Bonham, Jr. Colonel Bonham i9 a pre-; posewing gentleman, and an able and; efficient attorney.

Neil Presslt, Associate Re- , formed Missionary in Mexico, preached at Due West on Sunday last. Mr. Pressly was accompanied by his wife. The congregation at Due West paid his expenses from Winsboro' aud return. There were no services in any of the [ village churchos except the Methodist on \ Sunday last, consequently our people < generally worshipped with their Methodist brethren. The Rev. Mr. Richard- j son preached a forcible sermon. Nearly everybody has a bad cold ? and sore throat. Judge Lyon can scarce- 1 lv speak above a whisper. L. \V. Smith. ?sq., was in tho same fix a few days ago. , Col. O. T. Calhoun was bad off with his I throat last week. Gen. Hemphill, J. C. Klugh, Esq., and Mr. Patrick Roche, attended reli- 1 gious Bervice at the Associate Reformed j Presbyterian Church at Due West last j Sunday. , The order in Columbia last week was < admirable?much bettor than last year, j People were not wornod with boisterous , aud disorderly drunken rowdios. 1 Mrs. R.

The city U filled up with visitors ti light and day. Yesterday evening the streets J; sere so obstructed that It was a difficulty to t :et through the thronged isais of people. In Vontof the State House a lame stand had H >een erected, and doited over with Cleveland lag*, with the stars and stripes floating high n the air, the echo of tnu?Ic and the grand 8 lenionstratlon was enjoyed by all Nature f tself seemed to stnlle on the occasion, the air ras calm and pleasant, and the audience was sftlm and dignified. To-day, early in the 8' nornlng, the Fair ground wassought for, and rhegate keeper reports that the numi.er of lersons entering the gate to-day was larger y ,han ever before. After entering the gate a widespread ?1eld of exhibits are to be seen, _ ihowlng that wo live In a progressive diiy and Inte. The Block display was fine. Among tho *?ttle was one of the largest cows ever seen. Worses, hogs, sheep, and even tho wild deer, b ibow that great Improvement has lately been ? nade on all kinds of stock-; as for the i oultry lepartm?-nt It was good enutitfii; the machlntry and farming Implements whs the bent the a state ha? ever offered, all complete but their ?otton pleker, which was looked for but could lot be found.

As to the cry ot "wolf" when there i1 is none, we not only think improper, but w?ii emphatically condemn the sentiment! t expre?fed by one of our prominent I i apenker*, viz: "Get vote* honestly if you can; , if you can't, get them anyhow!" There were , a little over 101) Republican vote* cunt in thl* ' county, to about 3.500 Democratic, yet our yuune men are taught to cheat.

The State Fair. Tho Fair tlilx year was a success. Tho c* hlblilon of articles was perhaps not an good m Usuul, though the display or Jersey cattlo was very fln?. There were also some very superior specimens of needle work. The hotels were tilled with people but not so crowded as last year. There was nn Immense throng present 011 Thuraday. The crowd was | m ureal and so scattered that It was almost Impossible to flud any one. it was quite common to hear the remark: "Yon are the only one that I have met to day that I know." The new building Is quite an Improvement. It has three balconies or galleries from which the people can hear the music anil see the driving. It was a popular resort for the lailies. The races attracted a good many persons but principally sports. It Is highly dearable that this feature of tho Fair be dispensed with. The side shows were numerous. The same dlmlnuilvecrlpple man with Ills wlrcaml threo children in mournful accents sang "Empty Is the O'adle," anil handed round the hat. one of the little girls carrying It around. It. was surprising to see how mcuh thev would receive. Pickpockets were plentiful. They enteired t room In one of the hotels and carried off three watches snd one hundred and fifty dollars. They cut the vestof a young gentleman md got from him about forty dollars. Tho music by Reeves'Hand was superb. It was a perfect treat to hear It. It gave a delightful open-air concert on Thursday night In front of tho Stale House. The stand was lecoruted with flags. Thecrowd. an Immense jne, was scattered around on the lawn. Occasionally beautiful sky-rockets would ascend to (he hea^ns. Two or three members of tho Band were stationed In different parts of the ampus. After a while the music would stop *nd all would he silent. Away In tho distance would be heard the note ot a bugle and :hen there would be a response from another juarter. Tho Band would strike up (he "Star pangled Banner" and then close with Dixie." This was too much for the enthuslistlc Democrats to stand, so the air would e?ound with hnrrahs and huzzas. There were lots of heautltul ladles at the r^alr and a goodly number not quite so pret.y. The annual ball was quite a success. icons of fashionably attired Indies ana nne ooklng yonggentlemea kept time with the nuklc. CONTItlBCTOB. Troy Dots. Mr. W. L.
