Colonel M. <Toltnati was called to tlio chair ami .Mr. .1. 1,. Covin was rcnue>ted to act a.s .Secretary. At tlio preliminary meeting on the .Saturday previous, a committee was appointed to consider and report to this mectinu what, in their,iudgmcnt,' is nccessaryand proper to lie iioiii>':o siiimrt-ss Ilie tiallic" in seed cotton." ColoiK'l M. u. Tolmaii. on behalf of tlic committee in.iilo the following KKWUtT AND KEfO.MJIKXDATION : The committee appointed to consider "what U necessary ami proper to In* done to suppress tin- t:nttic in seed coiton" report that the suhj-ct isoueoi n<> small dillicultv, involving questions tor trrnvc considerations. There can he no doubt that the laborer has the ritfllt In >e! 1 theproduct <?f III? labor,w ithout let or hindrance, subject only t? such restrictions ar> may be itn|ioseil by law. '1 he attention < ( the (tellers! Assembly of the State has been directed to this matter, mid an net passed making it a misdemeanor to buy or fell seed cotton, between sun down and sun rife. The act does not contemplate suppressing the trufliu, does not foi biii the Sale and purchase of seed cotton, but for obvious reasons limit s it between sun rise and sun set. This Is about all the Legislature can do. To your committee the subject divides itself into two blanches, one of which is legitimate, right and proper, against which there is no law. The other Illegitimate, wrons. criminal, and should be suppressed Dismissing the first branch, the linjiiiry now is "what is necessary and proper t > be done to suppress the illicit trallic ill lottoii seed." t'oiil.l we lilt this ? hole matter from the low level of "pains and penalties, lo the higher plane >f moral rectitude, we would close this report, having found I he true answer, and we hope the < IT. rt to do so will not prove wholly ineffectual, but should they fail, th? law and enlightened public senti'iiem are the best resorts. We therefore rec mniend: 1st. That nil persons who shall buy or trnf'ic In in seed cotton or unpacked sinned cotton be requested to satisfy themselves that the seller calile honestly by it and that the transaction throughout, in all i*s aspects, is fair, open and honest, and wherever the seller refuses to give this satisfaction, o. froui any cause the purchaser dec ined to buy. he be further requested j to report the facts to some member of the committee (t<> be appointed) lor investigation. ami. That all persons buying or traffic! tig in seed cotton or unpacked ginned cotton are requested to j confilrtn strictly to I lie law upon that subject. iJnl. That a committee "I be now appointed to examine tin- Imoks required by law to be kept, to I hear anil investigate all avs reported to them, ami in their judgment to prosecute the Sf.uiL' before the Courts. Colonel Tohnan supported the report of (lie committee in a few conservative ami well! timed remarks. Dr. J. W. W. Marshall thought the report did not toucll the subject, and tiieadojition of j this report would not afford the debited relief. He expatiated on the evils crowing out of the traffic in seed cotton and sn'd that this meet-1 ini; should make a decided mid .determined j effort to he rid of a p actiee that wM.s demoralizing to the laborer and ruinous to Hit* planter. Mr. \V. P. Mars also urged th'- iicces"ity o! j prompt and decisive action. The welfare ofj the neighborhood demanded It. Mr. McNeil believed the work should begin at Abbeville Court House, and gradually extend to other parts of the county. On motion, the report ot thecomniittce was) laid on the tabic. Mr. J. H. Latimer moved that a committee j be appointed by the chair to make a report! which would express the wishes of the meet-1 tug. The chair appointed on that committee:' Mr. J. H. ljulimer, l>r. J. \V. W. Marshall, and Itev. A. L. Patterson. After dcliberatieu the committee submitted the following REPOltT, WHICH WAS ADOITED: We, the citizens of Calhoun township in meeting assembled beltigoppos.il to tho tmllic in seed cotton do hereby request all parties who have been, or now, or propose to ileal in Slid traffic to desis', and we do respectfully request thent to sign the following reso lutioii: Resolved, That we will not traffic In seed cotton, as has been heretofore practiced; Provided. All others in the community will also agree to this resolution. The merchants present were asked for an expression as to whether they would sign the | resolution, when the .Messrs. McNeil Brothers,; Theophelus linker, \V. K. Powell, Patrick L. McOeivey. T. P. Paschal signified their will-; ingncss U> sign the resolution, and it Is understood tlmt they did mo nt once cheerfully and! willingly, and ?oa trreat source of annoyance i and vexation will be forever stopped. Wej congratulate tho people on the trunk and manly acquiescence oi" the merchants in their reasonable requests, and that hereafter no complaint may be heard because of traffic in seed cotton. The profit in the business heretofore must have been sniull to the merchant, while the dissatisfaction on the part of tho farmer was great. The feeling among the people is harmonious j and determined, wtyle the action ol the mer- i chants was frank and sincere.

Clod, and especially the well Wishers of the Heformed Episcopal Church. After serIvico to night there were sad complaints amongst some of the members of the sp.id I church. Tiiey said they would not visit this | church any more. The question may be lusked, Why? Tiie answer is, because they j cannot clap hands. Jump up, and do as they ] please In the house of God. The warden said j "oftentimes before 1 came out here he would | buy nails and lix se its and the chancel, and 'every time protracted meeting t:ikes place ' some things have to bo fixed up again. Kor jail this the clergies are to be blamed, and not the people, for we arc to watch over the conduet or our members. ]f 1 understand the j teaching of tlie Hllble at all, our religion should be at heart and not in tongue, hands and foot. Laughing and talking in church bo| fore and after a seimon tire very common. ! We should go in the house of God and await 1 the sermon. After hearing it we should return home. Head, mark, learn and inwardly digest them. Conversion is 'he work ot t he Holy Ghost. No man can convert a soul. ! Man may excite, put religion on von as chil| droit put fruits mid toys on a Christinas ' tree, but that is not religion, nor conversion. We must haven changeoi mind toward God.

C., September 12,ISS5. Editor 1 Vi.v.f <ni<l Banner: We had the pleasure, a few evenings ago, 1 of meeting with Mr. John A. Hoilaud, of Ninety-Six, S. who informed us that he | had been during the last two years a student of the Cedar Springs Institute for the deaf and dumb and the" blind. Mr. Holland, accompanied by a younger brother, was on his way home when we saw him. He says: "To my great surprise, I find a great many people In traveling. I mean people of Intelligence. who have never heard of the Cedar Springs Institute. 1 found yesterday a presl- , dent of a collect who did not know "that there was such an Institute in this State, Cedar Springs Institute Is situated about four miles ! south of Spartanburg Court House. The In- ' slit ute building has tlfly-lour spacious rooms, eighteen of which have been recently com- ' plcted. This spacious buildincr was erected at a cost of ?:i),iMii. and Is heated by steam fix- : Hires which cost fii.ooa. It has all of the inod- \ ern Improvements,- and everything is kept | in perfect.order. The United States furnish- , csSs.iK) worth of books every year tor each pupil In attendance. These books arc pub- , llshed by the Unitek States Publishing ! House at Louisville, Kentucky. The latest ' and most improved text-books arc used at l.l? l?.4lt.,il?? Hi.k Ivnct rnn?lu./lu fif touching have boon adopted; The maps for the blind lire carved out of wood una represent the American Continent. liaised portions of tlie wood represent mountains; and deep cuts represent rivers. The boundary lines are Indicated by rows of pins. The apparatus used instead of slates for making calculations, Consist ftr movable type or lljjures. Writing is taught by punching holes lit paper witii a needle. I'npils frequent write in this way long compositions, and ciin writo as fast a ud as raucli as otic can ordinarily write with a pen. ? In the Musical Department pupils are taught to perform on Pianos and organs, and the boys also have a brass band and an orchestro. There Is a piatto In this department which was, wiien new valued at $1,00'). In the work department all tlie boys are employed two hours per day. In making brooms, mats, mattresses, brushes, etc. The girls aie employed two hours every afteruoou lu doing all kinds of fancy work. The mutes are taught everything that Is usually taught In academic schools. The mute girls take lessons in fancy work, while the mute boys are taught either how to set type or low to make shoes. Some of the mutes who lost their sense of hearing after they had reached the age of ten years or upwards. and who afterwards lost their speech, have been taught to speak again, and others who hud been mute ail their lives have also been taught io speak. In this Institute, there nrethreo teachers In the blind department, three in the mute department, and three lu the work department. Tiiis iuslitutfon is always open to the deaf and diuntianil tlie blind of this State. The only expense incurred uy inos-c who auenii are traveling and clothing expenses. All other expenses. such us hoard, fuel, lights and washing, arc paid hy t|jc Slate. During the past term which closed the latter part of lust June, there were fourteen pupils in the blind department, ami forty four pupils In themute department." The success of this institute Is mainly duo to the energy of its most worthy superintendent, Prof. N. R Walker, of Cedar Springs, S. C. Mr. J. A. Holland is a young man of about twenty-four years of age. He expeets to nine pianos in, and around the towns of Ninety-Six and Greenwood during his vacation. I le leav< s excellent testimonials as to his knowlcgde of piano tuning from Prof. N. F. Walker, principal, and W. Dixon, professor of music in Cedar Spriugs institute. We wish liiin much success.
