The Failure of Messrs. Cunningham
A- Tenipleton.
Messrs. Cunningham ??t Templeton, merchants
at this place, made an assignment of
their goods last Thursday to Walter L. Miller,
Ksq., for this benefit of their creditors. The
immediate eanseof this fa 1 hi re was losses on
eotton and a failure to collect their accounts.
A mcetinsr of their creditors is called for the i
. ? I* L*?l. Htl.t ft*
"iLli hi r vim i??i
Owing to complications it is a little difficult
to state the exact condition of the affairs of
this firm. For instance Cunningham A: Tempieton
executed to A. J. Salinas ?!t son a mortgage
of their farm and store house conditioned
for the payment of SI"?,Xf>7, dated .June 24, j
l<xr>. This mortgage recorded January 19, iss*>. j
On the 16th of December, 18<5, Cunningham & j
Tempieton executed to A. J. Salinas ?S son a
title deed to the same property, the consideration
named being ^T.OIHJ. Recorded January j
]!), 1S-6. The mortgage to A. J. Salinas & Son :
is not marked satisfied, but Messrs Cunningham
& Tempieton state in their deed of assignment
that the transfer of laud was made
in settlement of their indebtedness to them. |
.Mr. Tempieton on December 17, ISSo, executed J
a mortgage on his own dwelling to Mr. J. It.
] laddon tor $ I.xi I to secure a debt of the linn.
Recorded January 10, 1S.Si>.
Messrs. A. J.Salinas A Son, we have nodoubt j
hold both the mortgage and title deed, as dou-;
ble security?that, they may have two strings
to their bow. Und<*r act of the Legislature j
forbidding debtors from preferring creditors, j
within ninety days of an assignment the title i
deed maybe set aside. In that case Messrs. I
A. J. Salinas A Son would perhaps fall back on j
their mortgage, which had not been recorded,!
and which is perfectly good as between the I
parties, hut the question Involved is. whether 1
subsequent creditors without notice, may not i
set aside the mortgage.
Mr. Tempieton having mortgaged his house |
to Mr. Haddou within the ninety days before ]
the assignment the same question fill arise as
tim vuiiiiiivnf iin'iict u'hirh secured that I
creditor. A subsequent question is, if the!
mortgage to Mr Hiiddon isxset aside as to oth-1
er creditors, will Mr. Templeton then he sillowed
his homestead as against Mr. Haddon ? :
Hut there is no question whatever lictwron j
Messrs. Cunningham Templeton and their !
creditors. As a firm and a* individuals, they |
have certainly surrendered everything.
Omitting the mutter of A. J. Salinas A Son, i
the liabilities are something like SII,7'W, and
the nominal assets Hut setting aside
t!ie mortgages the mutter stands somewhat in !
this way:

The next important question with those
most interested will be the winding up of the
business. Nunc but those who nave neon i
t trough the mills can know the losses inci-j
tlent to a forced settlement of their attairs.
J.esidcs the expense attendant upon such a
course there are many losses. In the first
place many of the debts due to the firm will
now be a total loss, whereas it they had con- i
tinned business, many of these claims would
have been collected in full or in part, at least.
In the next place, there may now be it loss in
lite sale of the stock of goods instead of a
profit as in the u<ual course of business. In
lite next place, real estate at any time, under ]
joreed sale, is not likely to bring full value, I
hut the losses on such property, if put upon ;
the market now. would be greater, with !
these facts before the reader he is us able to I
foretell the end as we arc.
Messrs. Cunningham Templcton coin- j
jitenccd business in 1871, and for the first seven i
years of their mercantile career they were remarkably
successful, and had in that time accumulated
tt handsome capital on which they !
were doing business. This success gave them
much credit at home and abroad, and para-1
doxical as it may seem, their successsmd their;
good credit was the beginning of their disas-i
ter. Continued success having crowned their!
eitbrts for several years, they 'began to with-j
draw their capital for outside uses. In time ti|
comfortable dwelling was built, a tine store1
house was bought, and money was put into tt!
farm in the country. These purchases with- ]
drew money from the business. Occasional
losses on cot ton added to t heir misfortune, un-'
til they became crippled in their business, in '
later transactions large advances from factors j
was the consequence, ana ineir imiure is i ne i
result. Asa matter of fact no merchant can I
long preserve his standing in commercial cir- j
cles when he has to pay ten percent, for the *
use of money and then submit to a loss of tit-1
teen percent, in th? shipment of cotton. This
we believe is a rule to which there are no ex-j
cepfions. If the average citizen who pays
even seven per cent, for a large part of the
money or property which lie uses often fails.)
how Is it possible for the merchant long to pay !
exorbitant interest and submit to enormous
forfeits? While the immediate cause of the i
failure of Messrs. Cunningham &Teinpletonj
may be attributed to losses on cotton and the j
failure to collect their bills when due, yet the I
priin ?ry cause may be said to be in the with- j
<ira wal of their capital to buy real estate and i
to establish a branch store.
This entire community, which has ever j
held them in the highest esteem, .sympathise
very deeply with Messrs. Cunningham & Tern-1
pletou in this their darkest day. Their con<luet
has been upright and honorable throughout,
and there are none whe do not regret the ]
misfortune which has befallen them. After
a long career as a business firm their withdrawn
I at this time is deemed u loss to the
t >wn, while their failure in a business point of i
view must bea great personal disappointment
to those who have given so many years of the
*>est part of their lives to the pursuit of the
business. Messrs. Cunningham it Templetoil
have parsed through the trying ordeal
without blur or blemish to their high in teg- I
rlty.

Uf.v. l>it. T>.-?vis is still traveling over the
country delivering talks on the subject of the
<Chinese. When he was in Abbeville he about
satisfied us of the correctness of our preconceived
notion, viae: that wc had better let the !
Chinese alone. From his talk his hearers
could not fail to notice in one instance at j
J-east, the similarity bet ween the Chinese and
our own people. For Instance, he exhibited a }
small object which he said was a correct repre-!
mentation of a Chinese lady's foot. The Amer-1
jean women compress their feet, in very much !
the same manner. The efforts of the bricklayer,
as described, to make a tiood bargain,
was not entirely different from those of many
artisans in this country. His description of i
the row which was trot ten up on account of
our missionary, was not entirely unlike
the description of many first class rows
in this country, as explained almost daily before
the city Mayors of America. The'effective
force of a brick bat when it comes in con-'
tact with a skull, and the power of woman in j
driving back a mob, is about the same in
China as in America.

ABBEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
SuprgreNtion* in Reference to n School
ltull<lingr.
Since the published statement., a few weeks
since, of the condition and progress ?f our
school, my attention lias heen occupied in devising
some means by which we can raise nn
amount sufficient for building lis a suitable
school house; tor no one can form u proper
idea, except, from experience, of tlie wretched
condition of our present one. During the severe
weather which we have just experienced
li was utterly impossible to teach our pupils
properly, on account of the coldness of the various
rooms. The pupils of the past, may easily
recall tlie disadvantages under which* they
suffered and must know that nn Improvement,
tending to our comfort, has been subse
queiiuy imiue. * mi inu contrary, i icar, me
building tins been allowed to prow worse ami
worse,and is now almost uninhabitable. Are
the people of our town willing to subject their
children to such discomfitures? Iam fully
convineed, fiom the generous tendencies of
our town in other directions, that if any one
suggeM.a plausible means of raising the necessary
amount, all will readily acquiesce, and j
that they who might discern some trivial or;
apparent objection, will overlook it, when
they consider the detlciencics from which our
town is suffering, due entirely to the lack of
such a building.
At present, our citizens are compelled to
send their children from home, in order that
they may obtain a finished education: whereas,
if we had a school of thorough tralnini: in
our town, many would save hundreds of dollars
that they are now compelled to spend, In
defraying the expenses of a boarding school.
Judging from the competency of my assistants,
I feel that. Tam justified it< saying that I
can raise our school to Its proper standard, if
I be provided with a suitable building, i,
therefore, after various comparisons, have
concluded that it would be most expedient, |
in our present condition,to impose a small |
tax, by which the necessary sum can be raised.
Aware of the unpleasantness attached toj
the word "tax," I would like to say, just here,
that my idea* do not aspire to any extravagant
expenditures, nor to anything more than
a building that will provide us with such comforts
us are conditional of (air teaching properly.
It will not require more than ?1,'KX) or
SI,iVH) for the erection of such a building. To
obtain this sum would not require a tax of
more than 1 mill or 1% mill per cent. The
owner, then, ot &T>,M0 worth of property would
have only $> additional to pay, while owners
in i?j wv/uiu im?c a i^puiiuin^ i
reduction. Can any one, then, hesitxte to concur
in this measure? Would it not be a forcible
exemplification of the old maxim, "Comparisons
are odious," and absHrd I might sny,
?in tills instance, at. leas',?to compare this
small sum with the lnfinite advantages that
we would obtain from such un enterprise.
Not only from an educational point, can we
view this subject; but I shall try to touch upon
h few of the other advantages that our
community would reap from this expenditure.
Jn the first place, a school ?f high standing
will attract families to our town ; for men are
beginning to recognize the primary importance
of education to their clitldren and will
choose, as u residence, that place which can
furnish the most thorough training. Thus
the demand for our property will become
greater; and a greater demand will necessitate
an increased value. Again what gives a
town more notoriety than a flourishing school
In its mid?t? Will not this notoriety be one
means of attracting the trade of our county
and be a source of gain to our people? There
is, also, no safer standard, by which we can
measure the improvement of any place, than
its educational advancement. It will not rerjulre
more than a moment's glance to discern
tlie great efforts that, other pmecs arc making
in behalf of education. Are we, then, willing
to stand still and look, with composure, upon
the zea'ous, educational, success of other
r-v 1 ?noc O f lnr I l? n/vir fuotriinrr ?r I h nil.
pi is, eager to learn, and will succeed, if our
people sympathize with it and lend it a helping
hand.
At the last mooting of our school hoard, the
most satisfactory reports wers read of its condition.
The roll numbers, now, more than
ninety pupils, and the general tendency of our
school promises a gratifying success. This is,
i>f course, due in a large measure, to tho awakened
interest of our community and is highly
iippreciated by us; hut. our friends must exert
themselves move vigorously and aid us. materially,
in our efl'ortK to make our school a feature
of our town and an ornament to it. Let
its, then, take hold of this measure and enforce
it, or if any more suitable one can be J
suggested, I shall be pleased to have it substi- <
luted. In conclusion, I repeat that in no oth-;
it way, can the expenditure of such a sum tie
laden with more lasting and impressive bene- j
fit* to our people than in the cause of education.

Editor Pre.it and Banner :
No doubt many of your readers would
like to know something of Frorida as
it is first seen through a South Carolina boy's
eyes. I write my own experience and opinion.
We bought tlckrts nt Greenwood to go vial
Savannah, Dupont and Gainesville, to Leesburg,
Florida. We expected to make close
L'onnectlon sit Greenwood for Augusta, but
had to wait eight hours, uur delay at Greenwood
caused delay at Augusta, and delay In
Savannah likewise. It was delay all the way
ilown to Gainesville, Florida. There we took
the splendid little narrow gauge ears and
made better time.
The scenery, too, was now more interesting
iind we kepi our eyes open. We crossed the
lamed Suawnee River above Gainesville, but
I could not see any difference between the
Suawnee and any other Florida river of the
same size. Where we crossed It is not quite
so large as the Saluda, but of course more
picturesque on account of the dark colored
water and the long moss hanging so gracefully
on the evergreen oak trees, while here and
there a majestic palmwtto stood with its long
stemmed and Ian-like leaves bending downward
and waving gently in the warm air,
such a sight gives to one unaccustomed to
it, an almost unresistable desire to leave the
ears and nimble In the woodsalong the banks
of this famed river.
After leaving Gainesville the country gradually
grows more tropical looking. Simic-1
limes you see nothing but monotonous pines
fur -mhos, but now mid then il stream or lake
Is passed and this keeps one awake, for where
water isyou always see something Interesting.
Just, belore we reached Ocala we noticed
nil along the road thousands and thousands
of little piles of sand about ?is large as a
man's low hat. We tried to make out what
It was but gave it up and asked the newsboy
what they were, lie informed us that tliey
were gopher hills, and that one gophrr
could make two or three hundred "hills"
in one night. We noticed all the way
down to Tampa these gopher hills: as far
as the eye could reach you can see them
under the pines on the white sand.
We reached Leesburg about live o'clock In
the evening. Here our tickets gave out, but
as we were bound for*Tampa we asked the
conductor to have our trunks checked to that
point. About an hour afterward we were informed
that our tmggaK? was not aboard the
iriiin. Wc c-oulil do iiotliiiig but go on, with
:i promise from the conductor that he would
forward our trunks to Tampa as soon as they
arrived in Lcesburg. I waited two days, but
no trunks. I telegraphed to the auent at

We stopped at (he Palmetto Hotel for a
short time, and were treated very kindly
while there. The Palmetto is a well kept hotel
and not excessive in eh a rues. All who
visit Tampa may he sure of goud t reatment if |
th??y stop al the Palmetto. There are also oth- j
er flood hotels here and plenty of room for all;
who may come, although the town is now I
crowded. Tampa is a very pretty town of
ahout 2,U'X) inhabitants, and has bright prospects
before it if the present appearance
indicates anything. New houses are being
built on all the streets. I can see from mv1
window and in 1 ss than one hundred yards
ot me three buildings going up, one brick and
two frame. Allison a boom here now. Oranires
sell here for ten cents per dozen and
lemons Ave cents per dozen, fish from '2\s2 to
;> cents each. A live cent fish is as much as
one person cares to eat at. one meal.
Putter and eu?s are scarce and high-priced.
I have visited the fishing boats and fish
houses and have seen fish of almost every
description. I saw ifitlO fish on one boat and
was told that they were caught in one day by
three men with two seins. and that very often j
as much as one barrel of fish are caught at j
one haul. I shall go out soon and see this ;
sight with my own eyes. Kish are shipped
from hereto the towns inland and even to;
Savannah, Augusta and often to Baltimore,!

Xinkty-Six, Jan. 'j.'ith, 1886.
The Ninety-Six people, true to their ideas,pf:
push and enterprise, have put at their own
expense a first-class ferry boat at Watt's Kerry
in place of the Free Bridge that was recently
washed away.
"Railroad Racket." Under this head we
noticed t lie proceedings of a big railroad meeting
at Greenwbod on the lSth. We have it
from an eye witness that three Greenwood
and two Phoenix men attended this meettne.
Not even tlie citizens of the town turned out,
so weak was their faith in this mystical en-;1

Trial Justice John It. Moore was In town
last week. The Ninety-Six people think a
great deal of the Judge, and regret that he ;
takes issue with us on the railroad.
Mr. J. A. Milling, one of the best men in k|
the New Market section, calls oil us occasionally.
He Is a vigorous enemy of the tax do- ,
llquent.
Some of our anti-railroad friends attended
a meeting at New Market on last Tuesday.
The object of which, we believe, was to hoist
an opposition Hag to one railroad. In the
classic language of our friend Hale, we say
boys, "let her roll."
Several arrests were made of ,partles susppct.ed
of robbing Messrs. Galphin & Johnson's
store. There being no evidence against
them they were released.
Mr. J. A. Stuart, son of the lamented Dr.
John A. Stuart, has moved to Greenville.

Osborne Is about completed, ami Is an ornament
to the street on which It Is located.

every one who can avail themselves or
the opportunity to go and hear him.
Mr. Marshall Smith, who has been living at
*UU>*LTHVIllf, 1UI* II IIIUIIUCI KJi
years, has returned to "old South Carolina."
He has rented Mr. L. M. Fouche's cottage and
gone to housekeeping.
Some of the anti-rail road men are very bitter.
One of them refuses to sell butter t) a
townsman who voted for the tax. He prefers
to grease his cow's ears, horns and tail with '
i t.
What we had to pay about a Saluda taxpayer
in a tormer communication was so :
printed as to confuse some of the beys. What
we Intended to say was that one-planter on
the Saluda side paid more tax than twenty
white taxpayers who voted against subscription.
We had 110 reference to some ot the
wealthy gentlemen who were offended.
Car-loads of corn, flour and bacon continue
to arrive. Now is the time to buy while everything
Is low. 1
Mr. W. B. Merriwether will erect a market
house In town.
The Masonic fraternity has rented a new
lodge room and moved in.

or twice a year.
Mr. J. L. .Shumate has some fine Essex hogs

Mr. S. M. Duvis has one of the handsomest
Jersey calves in the county.
The. Free firldge at Watt s Ferry is washed
away, and it c.iuses a great deal of inconvenience
to the people. Ve hope the County
Commissioners will look after it at once.
Messrs. L. M. Moore, F. M. Pope and A.
McTurner attended the Cokesbury election,
and speak in complimentary terms of the
way they were treated. We always had a tender
place in our hearts for the people of Cokesbury,
especiuliy so since the grand victory on
the 19th.
It is reported that Ninety-Six township will
run a candidate lor lhe Legislature at the
next election. Well we think it Is about our
turn, provided Greenwood is willing.
Mr. JJoozer, of Newberry county, has pur- 1
chased a nice farm ou the north side of town
and moved In. We welcome Mr. Hoozer, as
we do all good men who come In our midst,
"Cooper No 10." This Is the nun dc plume
over which some elegant writer sails in the
last issue of the A'dgejlcld Advertiser. It is an
ingenius document. Now, we don't profess to
bea prophet, but we guess It was written by
an Abbeville man. Possibly it is fattened by
mi Edgefield man. Well, if so, theehUd is In
n bad fix. Its real father disowns It, and Iih
adopted fattier, although he may be a very
clever man. has certainty displayed bad taste.
The Kev. Mr. Smart, presiding eliler of the
Cokesbury lit strict, was in attendance upon
the quarterly conference at this place on last
