He w:isa man of many ex-i ccilent qualities, and many friends regret to hear of his death. His remains will arrive today. ? Plenty of Corn. Mr. U. .T. Martin of Donaldsvill",. gathered , last week five hundred bushels of corn from thirteen acres ot fresh creek bottom land, fie j *vtU have corn to sell this year. The land on : which the corn was made has been a wet bog-j gy swamp for time out of mind, until two or | three years aso Mr. Martin ditched it, and i b now it is as good land as can be found in Ab-1 V beville County. There is no need of going to | p Texas to get good land as long ?s such land | as ttiis is has been going to waste. OI<l Citizen's Death. Mr. John M-:Curry of the Antreviile neighborhood, died last Monday week at an advanced age. If he hud lived until next February he would have been ninety years old. lie was hurled at. Hell's Chapel, and his memory is kept ia afleetiomite remembrance by a host of relatives and friends. Pay Your Tnxew. The time for paying taxes is drawing to a close. Don't wait longer. Three thousand receipt* are yet to write. Somebody will be left in the 1 ireh. Mr. Hill, the photographer, who was here sometime sinee, is visiting us a^atn.

This is a fine opportunity to our citizens to buy small lots in the town. The valuable Lon-z Cane farm and the homestead in town, are also advertised. Five lawyers of the Abbeville Bar, have married or will marry this winter. Five victims from one profession is pretty g<?>d for a little town like Abbeville. There will be much "? happiness hereabout this winter. Gait. J. T.

How many oi the readers of the Press mid Hanncr are aware 01 me mci mat mtof liberty on the American silver dollar is a representation of a young lady in Philadelphia, who was selected for that purpose by Mr. Hurelmrd, director of the United states mint? The writer knew the young lady's name, but it has slipped bis memory. Newly married couples should have their pictures taken before the honeymoon is full. Heading the other day that a certain individual was a self-made man brought to mind a remark onee made by an editorial friend in another State, concerning a distinguished (now extinguished) carpet-bagger, ik-ing told that the said c. b? r was a self-made man, he said, "Well, I'm glad to hear it.; for it. relieves the Almighty of a terrible responsibility." It is broadly intimated that one of Due West's most popular and talented daughters will soon be united in marriage to a young gentleman from a neighboring county. If we had our life insured we might venture to tell you what the initials of the young lady's name spell. We regret to record that Mr. Wm. Bonner, of the Prenbylcrimi force, is still conlined to nis room by sickness. He has had a long and Hard siege, and it is to be hoped will soon be restored to health. Mr. It. J. Ilood, eldest son of Professor Hood of this place, has been appointed postal clerk 011 the Richmond and Danville Hall road. Children's Day was duly observed at the Baptist church in this place, notwithstanding the weather was very unpropilious. Tho contributions from the little ones amounted to about three dollars, which is very good when we take into consideration the unfavorable weather and the further fact that the school is very weak in numbers.

Mr. Henry Hoyd, who was a student in Erskine College last year, and will be remembered as tiie young man who is so badly crippled as to neeessiUite liis being drawn around in a little wagon by a goat, is now teaching school in Newberry county. Quite a pleasant little party assembled at Mr. Robert Pratt's on Thursday evening of last week to witness the marriage of Mr. Thonnis 1'. Henderson, of Anderson, and Miss Laura 10. Pratt. The Rev. J. 8. Jordan performed the ceremony which made two hearts beat as one. One by one our fair young ladies are being captured and carried otf, and?and?well, our best wishes go with all of them. Mr. Robert Cochran, one of the most affable and popular of our young gentlemen, is visiting relatives and in the city of Anderson. If reports are true as to former visits of Robert to that place, the salaries of the post...... linn inwl Anrlnrvrm will lif largely increased by the extra number of postage stamps they will be compelled to cancel. The Baptist congregations at this place and Donalds have secured the services of the ltev. (J. H. Carter, now of Ninety-Six, as their pastor for the coming year, vicc Dr. Maylield, resigned. Mr. Carter is a young man of much promise, and our Baptist brethren are to be congratulated on their choice, particularly so as Mr. Carter will devote his whole time to the two churches. Our people without regard to sect deeply regret that circumstances compelled the resignation of the Hev. Dr. MayluMd. pastor of the Kaptist church, and will greatly miss his genial companionship and excellent sermons. Mr. James I'ruit, a well-to-do farmer who resales about eight miles above here, near the line between this and Anderson counties, is reported to be in a very peculiar and at the same time critical condition. About ten daysago he felt a slight pain in one of his hands, which gradually increased, and the hand began to swell. Physicians were called in, but the swelling could not be checked, and has now extended into the arm and the skin seems to be peeling oir. Near the wrist there is an eruption from which a substance of very unpleasant odor oozes out. Those who have seen Mr. I'ruitt say that a similar case has never come within their knowledge. It is thought that he cannot long survive. We learn from the newspapers that the South is to be raided by detachments from the Salvation Army. We can manage to worry along with .Sam Jones, the army worm, Sam Small and prohibition, but from the Salvation Army may the Rood Lord deliver us. The Germans constitute the very best element of our foreign population. They are honqst, industrious and thrifty, and moot every obligation that rests upon them as citizens. They go into our waste places, where Americans would starve to death, ana in a few years cause them to blossom sls the rose. It is a rare thing to see a German pauper or n German criminal, as they are peaceable and law-abiding and seldom llirure in our courts in any capacity. For the most part our German citizens acquire property, anu this causes them to bo interested in good government and to uphold the laws of the land. They have aided greatly in developing our country, and we cannot afford to abuse them simply because they do not think as we do on all points. The invasion of the South by the Salvation Army leads us to remark that the leaven of fanaticism is rapidly spreading throughout this section, and that unless it is chocked we shall soon enjoy the distinction of being what we were accustomed in ante bellum days to ae-1 cuse New England of being?the most intolerant portion ot the country. The Intermediate Celebration of the Philomathcan Society of Erskine College will come oil'on Friday evening, January 8, l>te6. At a meeting of the Society last Friday evening tiie following programme was arranged: President. .1. 15. Cochran. Huntersvillo. N. C. As sistuut Judges, J. B. Sibley, Augusta, Ga.; J. K. Hood, Due West, .senior Orator, \\r. S Cas-! ties, (hester, 8. (J. Debaters, 11. A. Lee, Duel West ; J. 1'. Knox, Iluntcrsville, N. C.; W. O. ; Brice, Winnsboro,S. C.; H. L. Gricr, Due West. Miss Sallie Kennedy went down on Long Cane last Wednesday to attend the marriage of her brother, Mr. J. C. Kenndy, who was united that evening to Miss Leila vvardlaw. It is intimated that President Cleveland will favor Woman Suffrage in his annual message to Congress. Well, if the "dear creatures" should be clothed with the right of sutl'rage, and they should be as successful in soliciting votes as they arc in soliciting money for missionary purposes, we will soon have to reverse the present order ef things-let the women till the offices and the "bucks" stay at home and nurse, the young ones. We frequently hear from the pulpit allusions to "this unfriendly world." The writer's pretty extended experience leads him to conclude j that if the world is unfriendly to a man it is more the man's faul tthan that of the world. | We are aware that it is customary for cynics! 1 to paint the world in very sombre colors and i ; to denounce it as cold and uncharitable; but | we imagine that if a man act well his part lie | will find it full of ready, willing helpers. It Is j ' a very good world we live in, certainly the : best one that any of us have ever seen, and in [ our opinion the best that a large majority of us ever will see. Miss Leona Blake of Greenwood is one of the most accomplished pupils of the Female I College. While seated In her room the other I evening, as the sweet strains of "Nearer, My i God, to Thee," proceeding from a cornet in the hands of a skiflful player, were wafted to her; ear through the open window, she penned the i following impromptu apostrophe to that grand | tune, without any thought that the lines would ! appear in print. The little slip of paper on j which the words were written was given to a 1 college mate, and through the latter found its way into your correspondent's hands: The night is calm, and not a sound I>,.......1..Q tli.. 1,1 I on.I I...1 Except the low strains from the horn? **Nearer, my U<>d, to Thee.""

One instal- 0 inent- of the stock will be due and willed for at once, and before Christmas dirt wil be brok- V en. It is estimated that three or four bun- *f dred stockholders ana menus 01 ine enterprise werehore last l'"riday. Our citizens, much to '] their credit, throw open their houses and en- sl tertsUnod the visitors. The people of Ninety- P six are delighted, of course. The organization * ' is all tluit we could ask. It is useless to speak of these gentlemen personally. We are satisfied that 110 bettor board of otliecrs could be elected by any corporation, not a single "dead n heart," all working, enterprising business men, and now we are satisfied that the building of n this road will not be left to "our posterity." o We were too much engrossed in railroad |n matters to go to the Kair.

They | ly they have never *ecti a meeting In which : n here wiiS such a spirit of business and ear-i 1 est determination and confidence. I The meeting was harmonious and all pre?- (If nt wfc're of cue mind, determined to begin I c radical work without delay arid push ahead c ver all obstacles. As we stated In The Nkws I esterday, Col. II. P. Harninett was called to c he presidency by the unanimous voice of the c lock holders, who were willing to let him lake lils own terms In accepting, atul practl- t ally asked nothing more than his name at t lie head of the enterprise, and his counsel In ? is conduct. Capt. Kirk was elected vice pres- <' lent. The directors are Capt. K. A. Smyth, t fPelzer; Col, .Tames McCul lough, of Green-! 1 lie: l)r. T, \V. Chiles; of Kdgcflfcld; O. T. j F ackson. of Ninety-Six ; W. Scott Allen* of I "rnlt IIlll; F. A. Connor, of Cokesbury; W. I ? . Hewitt, of Johnston s; L. M. Moore, of g rinety-Slx ; J. H. Humbert, of Laurens. F. 1. Pope of Ninety Si.t, was elected secretary r nd treasurer, and Capt. W. J. Kirk chief en- 1 ineer and superintendent. T. \V. Chiles, G. f '. Jackson and F. A. Connor were elected ex- I cuiivo committee. Messrs. Connor, Humert ar.d Allen were appointed a committee ' n the revision of the ciiarter. t The work of surveying and locating the line ill be begun next week, and a> soon as that s > completed dirt will be thrown. Captain r 'Ilk- l< i'iin f It Ipn I. lift Mil "fade tliL* road troui I l ere lo Johnston's wi ll the money now in iglit and will hurry forward as rapidly as os.-ib!c. Grading will probably be begUn by hrlatiuas. Columbia Register. There seems to be no end t< |the enterprise of: lie Mountain City. We hear of a brand new Diet prise which, as we are informed, is aljady fairly afoot, though not ninety days Id. Tnis is a scheme to take up the old Port loyal and Greenville unexpired charier and uild a narrow-gauge and from Greenville via elzer's Mills to Minety-Six, and thence to ohnston, on the Columbia and Augusta road; tiunce in the air for the const. We are in>rmcd that ?70,OUO or ?80,000 have been al-j pndy pledged to the t-cheme. TliiH schemc will hold water, if Greenville as t he hardihood to undertake it in dead j urnest. There can be little doubt that the L aad will look Idr a connection with Charles>n. It will be seen that the air-line from | r ohnston to Charleston passes through , ranchvllle, 129 miles in length. But by de eet ing to Orangeburg, and thence by air line ) Charleston, the distance is*!31 miles. The ^ til Ka t lin JUie llU'OUgll Ul'UIlgl'UUrg, nidi, ?vm m?w etter one. But another route from Johnston, / la.Hani well, would lm KM miles to Charles?n. Between the Barnwell and the Orange- J urg routes, with five miles difference only in s istance, there seems to be a great advantage i favor of the Barnwell route. At Barnwell i?e line would be 88 miles from Charleston, nd passing through Beaufort's Bridge, Itivrs' Bridge, Buekiiead and Wnterboro, 80 liles. But at Barnwell the line would be 81 liles from Savannah, passing diiectly uroiich Allendale, Lawtonviile, ltohertville 'urysburg. By adopting the Barnwell route, 1 lien, Charleston and Savannah both would j e taken on the line, and Charleston and Sa- 1 annul) both would be forced to contribute to tie scheme. Or, should Charleston refuse, avannah would certainly take it up nt the iddlnc of tlie Black Swamp. Lawtouville nd Allendale communities, largely her parous, and who are able to build the road from larn well to Savannah themselves, Savannah ( onffning her contribution to crossing the rivr other door and assisting In building the r>ad between Barnwell and Greenville. So ir as Charleston is concerned, it is hard to sec i hy she would turn her back on a route carting Colleton and Barn well, giving her a aluable cotton and lumber trade and a route i f 213 miles to the mountains, and, with a ne extended 38 miles from Barnwell (o Auusta, and air-line narrow-gauge route from harlcston to Augusta on the original old line t rst sought between Charleston and Augusta. Now let us see what this w hole sheme of [>au wouiu cost, x1 rom oreenvmu u# jxhu-ji ell we see 11 line of 126 miles, from Hum well , i> Charleston via "NValterboro (.K) miles, from |1 turnwell to Savannah via Allendale ?S4 nnies, i rom Barnwell to Augusta US miles, costing', ny 54.000 per mile and footing up a total cost j1 f $1,352,(KM. The low cost taken is forlltled by |S lie fact that a large portion of the whole mite would require scarcely any grading, nd the very best limber could be Rot on the cry roadbed at the very lowest possible cost. this low total cost, we would have a Greenille and Charleston road of 2I(> miles; a irecnvlllc and Savannah road of 210 miles, a buries ton and Augusta of 12s miles, a ttaaunah and Augusta road of 122 miles, and a ireenville and Augusta road of IW miles, uverlng a milcige all told of S-10 miles, wlililf utlttS miles of track, and greatly shortening lie distances between all points save from irecnvlllc to Augusta, which would be eixht liles further than by the (Jrecnville and Auustiand Knoxville roads. We see here a saving of track as compared ] ith present routes to Charleston and Hawaiian, and between these cities and Augusta, a follows: MIIjEH. [recnvillo to Charleston 27*2.5 t Iranchallle to Augusta 75.0 85/ .5 MILKS. rrocnvilln to Laurens ilti.3 i tiiuren.s tf> Greenwood '20.4 i ! PL-en wood to Augusta I .ugusta. to Savannah 132 1 mo ' flere we sec 703.5 miles of track as against 1 J8 as above shown, and showing a saving sill >ld of 305.5 miles of track, whilst shortening lie distance nil round, with a single Iminatelal instance. Taking into consideration cost f routes, we see the present routes stand:!] he two South Carolina lines taking debt per s lile, $lUl>i(ji>,0UU; the Georgia Central and up- l er Carolina lines have a cost of about $5,000,- i JO; showing an aggregate of S15.0U0.000 as gainst ?i,352.0J0 for the narrow-gauge system oove outlined. It the above outlined Ureenille narrow-gauge system would fail to pay andsomely, we arc at a loss to see how any md in the State or the South can pay a cent liirty percent, earning on the cost of the hole system outlined would be $105,000. Six y per cent. of this lor expenses wouiU Del. M-TUGO, leaving Sli;2t2Jl) net earnings, or 12 per | 1'iit. on investment. I j What is to prevent such n road from being j1 nill we cannot see, if Greenville goes at it I Mlh her accustomed vim and pluck. And 2 nee built, it will revolvtionize the traflic Immghout the State. 1 Of course we may be counting chickens be>re they arc fairly hatched, but the whole i-heme looks so plausible that we cannot fail > accept it, if pressed as a near possibility. Hio believed, three years ago, that, we would ce the system of roads in the nonheastein art of the State which are now an accomlished fact? Things move in our day. and ircenviilc and Spartanburg have shown a rit and enterprise that is leavening the Mole lump. We refuse the dog-in-t he-ma tier sentiment here. Let our neighboring ities push ahead, and we will not refuse -t liem the meed of praise they deserve. They ill in the end foree other communities to he pnnd doing, and good to tlie whole State * ill conic of it all. ? i i TROY'S MAP OF BUSY LIFE. ler Visitors?-Her Grand Hull?Her Delegate* to Augusta?Jlor Happy Ilririe and iroom?-OtIter Matters, j Tuoy, S.
