. r'i' The Press and Bannei Wednesday, April 7, 1886. Catch the Trespassing Vagrants. It is scarcely to be believed that there Should be in u Christian land any boy wlm Would destroy church property. But it is a fact, that there are in Abbeville some boys whose mothers do not restrain them fro in committing trespass on the Kpiscopal church Rnd the Episcopal cemetery. It is s.iid that some thirty-eight shots from slrngs have been put through tlie windows of the building, and that, some of the tomb stones in the cemetery have been made targets for pistol or gun practice, and that the monuments hnve. in some instances, been otherwise defaced. The cemetery and 111* church are under good fence, with nates locked, and still those boys break oil' the palings, and commit their depredations; The Vestry have borne with these injuries arid insults long enough, and bad L'oys may expect to be punished, if they are caught, no matter whose children they arc. The respectability of parents will hereafter be ho shield to bad boys, who have not been taught better manners than to desecrate sacred grounds and destroy church property.

Hawthorne Reviews the Fl- | liancial, Agricultural, and Political Situation. j i 'I 1 : Speech Delivered at Abbeville, April 5th, t 1886, Before the Farmer's Convention. j Mr. Chairman: With your permission, I de: sire to make a brief statement to this body in | reference to the po>iiion 1 have tuken in re- j j^ard to the object that bus culled this meet- j I intr. 1 am glad to see so many citizens that j i have responded to the call. Although the f | tillers ol the soil are the primary movers in j calling tills con veil non. jet me u?jvii? mc j wide opened to :i 11 true and genuine citizens ; of every honorable avocation of life, yes, are j cordially invited to co-operate with us In try- r I ing to effect a reformation for our promts- 1 cuous welfare. I feel persuaded you are here i to-day hot merely to gratify an idle curiosity, 1 not for sarcasm, ridicule and burlesque, too much of that vile' stuff already have found outlets against us, but actuated with purer ' Incentive, to give your presence and counsel . to stimulate and encourage a movement that J lis on foot, from which, I entertain the lione, t I farmers, and other vocations of life, will, , eventually, derive much benefit. f I As you are aware, partisanship, or sectional { strife of a political phase, is not tne moving y impulse of this intelligent body. NVeare not j convened In this forum of justice to-day for r I the special purpose of re-organizing the Dem- ( joeratic party, although the time Is ou its i heels, its character is of a different type. Nor t do I comprehend it to bean intended initia- g I t..w ctoi, tnu-rii hv i iio nt'riciilturjil fraternity . of the Palmetto State to engender or foster antagonism, or broadcast the seed of discord, i in order to produce a dismemberment or "split" in the Democratic body politic. Nor I do I regard It a design scheme hatched to be I : utilized as a hobby for otiice-seekers to mount j i and endeavor to ride triumphantly into of- t ! fice. Such innuendoes, from whatever source e they have emanated, I; without scruples, de- c nounceao offsprings of ill-conceived Ideas. I I claim the God-gfven ri^ht to try to vindi- i eate my humble signature, when assailed, r which oecupy a conspicuous position on tii'e c list of farmers, which has preambled In an ad-' p dress that intolerable grievances exist and re- c forms needed and designated a period of time v (29th April instant) for a general reprcsentationof the followers of husbandry of theState to hold a convention at the capitol with the j view of organizing as a body and adopt meas- j ure's that we may see fit, will tend to amelio- ? ra:e our onerousand impoverished Condition. 'c I oefng a co-heir M t he responsibility In issu- c fug this call, I embrace the present opportune c j time of announcing above-board that lam not in quest of any healing balm to medicate la chronic sore on my cranium. I was Instl sated by no sellish'or sinister motive. The . aspiration of my ambition consists In lending whatever aid I can to advance a cause that I [ concetve Is well calculated to promote the ' fanning vocation, which has been approprl- J ately styled "the nursing mother of all our ? Industries." .. j. If the contemplated State convention enn ~ succeed In devisipn some method by which 11 we can liberate us of much of the burden ol * j taxation and Infuse new zeal and vitality in i j the science of agriculture, and thereby an im- 1 peius will be given to everv hran.ch of Industry, then my ultimate desideratum will be achieved. There are ways, sir, in which 'Ve v can ope'ratfe fordur mutual bfcnefltnnd be j!>ro- ? ductive of much general good. All grades of s professional dlcnifJtrics have organized al-'t liancCs, I presume for some good purpose and j have ni eu convinced of their utility. Anil 1 4 recognize no impropriety, or want of dignity r In farmers holding a convention for the pur- I pose of bettering tlieir languishing condition and keep pace with the progress of the age. We are entitled to the same privilege to make the effort to reap fruits from associated action and if we will prove true and loyal to the undertaking, I'll venture to assert our labors wiii be crowned with the wreath of success. ^ It is a coneeded recognition that the fanning claso of the people are in possession of the motive power and could, hy concerted action, run the governmental machinery as far as ballots are concerned. Hut, ah ! much doubt is entertained as to ouf ability to furnish the oil sufficient to lubricate the wheels to kCep them in good running order. n x.?oes Jr. not become us, leiiow-tarmers, to g have our filtered. more represented and try to jconvince that doubting "professional class" j that we are not entirely barren ol" intellectual t resources? By organizing, we could a<ld r much to our material prosperity, not only in c political economy, but agriculturally, by the j; interchange of ideas and suggestions of prep- " aration and cultivation o<" mother earth, and n application of labor-saving implements ami r what comirierclai fertilizers that are best i adapted for our different kinds of soil, and so t on. The most ignorant farmer, perchance, t mifflit advance an idea, if developed, would I revolulfoniice the.agricultural world. Andal- c so, a basis of economy, in obtaining necessary supplies, could be established, that would i afford iuculable relief. Hence, I am an advo- s cate of r CONSOLIDATING OUIt INTEREST j in organizing farmers'clubs in every county and township of the State and rendezvous as r | a whole annually at some central point by c (lelenalion, to discuss the merits and demerits N of every thing that pertain to the farming in- ? | teres!. I imagine such co-operation would sej cure all the good results that naturally flow (! from "unity of action'' in any equipped or- e ganization. J When I first perused the letters that gave V birth to this honorable movement, penned c by that, courageous and brainy exponent of 1 humanity, K. II. Tillman, of Ham burg. South v Carolina, who is branded as an agricultural 1 "Moses'' to conduct farnu rs c OUT OK THE WILDERNESS C of teirestrial troubles. I was forcibly struck * with tiie magnitude of its importance and nd! mired his indomitable pluck: I have n6 per- ( sonal knowledge of hf's moral worth, but the ? thoughts and sentiments, that have been divulged by his ready pen. arc, I regard, worthy j of the most serious consideration. The many 1 remorseless shafts of ridicule that have been c hurled at his head by outside archers, have tell harmless at his fuct. This convention as- k i sembled, evidently testify that lie remains un- . j scathed and stcsidtast, ever ready to battle lor | I the farmer's rights. ? As I intimated in the outset/ WE HAVE NOT FORSAKEN* OUR. DAILY ROUTINE OF BUSINESS, nor have w<? assembled with hearts Imbued with a reckless spirit of rebelliod fo form a conspiracy, preparatory to the.lynchingof Dc| mocracy, or to inflict a ghastly wound on its 1 body, hopeless of recovery, or even to furnish i a cleaving instrument to diminish its solidity | of any of its massive proportions, but to oust (every grievance that beset our pathway and jsubstitute restraints, or remedies in lieu | thereof that our judgment will dictate,- for ; the advancement of the country's general: I good. | We are profoundly impressed with the unj deniable facts, which lias been announced in } ihe State address, that the farmer's interest, : the "bone and sinew" of the land, is greatly ignored. Forbearance lias ceased to be a virtue in the matter and it behooves him to i *?i liwin <t fcuaiu ui it'iiiurgjuiiu jjiuuiumu freedom from oppression. THE MUI/ni'LltlTY OF GOVERNMENTAL OF- * Fit liS, both State and county and high salaries affixed, are not iti keeping with that unpreeedent- 1 led shortage and extreme low valuation, for i ! the last few years, of the product of his toil. . | He has no part in fixing the valuation of his I crops, others make the price of what he sells ( and exact the price of what he buys. Specu- , i tlon keeps him hound "hand and fooi"be- , j tween two urindstones. It matters not to ' what extend he may unavoidably be deprived of realizing a paying investment in agrlcul- i ttiral pursuits. . OFFICIAL SALARIES AND PROFESSIONAL EXACTIONS undergo no reduction and have to be met with his incagrfe assets. They remain a fix : ture as far atf diminution is concerned. Pnb| lie functionaries, apparently, are not subjected to "hard times." They draw full rations from the public commissary, independent of short crops, and pursue the even tenor of I their way, without encountering any inconI venience, but vice versa get fat as a guinea i polker and sleek as a mole. In the memora! blc campaign of '76 no stone was loft unturn; ed l>y "party strife" in our supreme eflorts to ! dislodge the ponderous "radical yoke" a'ud establish a Democratic form of government in i, this State, and itappearsa litt le Inconsistent. , i the constitution, which was founded and rat- ( j ifled by that corrupt party, is adopted by I)e11 mocracy, as the chart and compass to point ( , out the reefs that obstruct the pathway of the . | Ship of State. Do not that guide instrument 1 i of writing need overhauling, contains some n : objections t.hni. oui'hf. to lie ( micpllfwl. in nrrl<>r I to commence aright in trying to effect a re- | formation. Do not the economy and welfare | of the government, without encroaching too , close upon the narrow limits of parsimony, j consistent with tlie extreme stringency of 1 THE TIMES, DEMAND A REMOVAL OF A SU- j PERFLUITY OF STATE OFFICIALS 1 and also a reduction of salaries from '"head to 1 foot?" Do not, also, the county abound in a j super-abundance of positions of public trust, that arc a redundancy and operate largely as j a barrier to liberal economy? Could she not , ! dispense with Auditor, Master. Registrar and j School Commissioner, (the bone of contenI Hon,) without inflicting any seriousdetriment ; on her welfare, nay, vice versa, contribute!] ! mtfeh to a reduction of taxation. Much work 'of both Slate and county officials could be I condensed without additional cost and not impose upou any one an cxcessof duty. THE LIEX LAW, the great bugbear in tho eyes of some has [t/ceu criticised, eulogized and condemned by! [he intellect of the State, time and again, and ret the public mind is unsettled as to Its utility. My private opinion, briefly expressed is, tho time for Its extinction has not yet arrived. Its usefulness is somewhat hampered hy the enactment of the latest amendment. It is a j mod law, has no evil in its h^nrt. If it could >e shielded from the mountain of abuse and extortion that are heaped upon It. I see no eason why it is not a great medium of disseminating much good to the generality of :ne population. THE HOMESTEAD LAW ins outlived Its day of usefulness and fnrllshes an Impregnable fortification, in the ear of which, much rascality takes refuge. I ,hink it. would not, hy any means, rob lion>sty of I'b laurels to expunge its existence s Vorn the list of laws. ' r THE TEN PER CENT. LEGALITY j! ihould meet a slmll.ir fate. I am pnrtlnl to he opinion that our Legislature and State of- 1 leers should be elected for four years and the ormer to hold sessions biennially, and the JEGISLATOIIS NOT TO RECEIVE MORE THAN fl FOUR DOLLARS PER DAY j, >r a fixed salary for the work per session, v riie honor of a Legislator, and not the entieenent of "lllthy lucre" should come in for the T arsrest share of patronage. d Much public sentiment Is evoked on v THE BLAIR BILL, J tro and con, which Is, at present, undergoing J1 igitatlon In Congress. My short-sightedness ]; >f the comprehension of the bill convinces ne that lis intrinsic value would otit-weigh K ill objections urged, In supplying a woeful de- ? lclency Mint Is prevailing in the public school ysteni in the South und n greiit hai rier to the idvancement of puerile education. More pe- . >uniary means are evidently needed to run : he schools a longer period and I say, sir, if . Jncle s*am will opeu his heart and proposes o contribute a munificent, donation for that ;pecific purpose, accept of it and render him a r ?ote of thanks. t THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN EVERYBODY EDUCATED HIS OWN CHILDREN. J 't more money cannot be procured to sup- t >ort this public system, It is a farce, partake 1 noreof a curse than a blessing and I would 1 auction its abolition and welcome the return n if the good old ante-bellum system, "every- f >ody schooled his own children," and I am ? lot sure, sir. but that Is the most satisfactory v md equitable way. I see no reason why this l ideational bill should not come within the o irovlnce of our consideration and ils merits v liscussed. I apprehend no evil results would d iccrue to the South In Its enactment. As to J? o AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Q am not. 6ure, but what it would be produc- ^ Ivo of much ?ro(?d In advancing the science o( ,, igriculture in our State. Tlip appropriations *' ?f the Rent-nil government for the promotion ? >f out honorable calling i-hould absorb much _ >f our undivided attention. t tiie primary elections. c And last, but not least, Mr. President, polit- b caliy, I would propound the question to this i ntelligent body of yeomanry, I might say, Is lot. that principle a "few to rule the many,'' a I'hleh wields a potent sway now-n-days at our a irimary elections, antagonistic to the true i: ense of Democracy ? The open and free ex- s rclscor suffrage has too much of that unjust ind diabolic power (''rigistn")' to encounter at o he polls. And, I predict, if persisted in, It d v ill be the "wedge'1 to divide the "ranks'' of s )emocracy. Admitting TIIE ItEOISTRATloS' SINE QUA NON, vhlch bears upon its face a perceptible doubt ? if genulnfe'jlistt'ee, do not tli6 integrity of the v olldity of the Democratic party demand pro- c eetion at the ballot box, against such an unust pressure as that dom'irieei ing influence of a bossisni" which, as It prevails at our prima- ? ies, is a stigmu of reproach to the glorious P irinciples 01 Democracy. 0.

An alteration took place Saturday between jttvi Wright, and Charlie GrifHn, bot h colord. It appears from evidence that the dlfflculy was occasioned by a business transaction n which Grlflin was Indebted to Wright for he sum of forty cents. Griflln felt himself ggrieved and slandered when approached or payment, and thought the impression of i large rock upon the head of his creditor rould be the most effectual method of selling the account. Griffin has been bound iver to the June term of Court to show cause rhy he used such currency to pay otf his [ebts when greenbacks and specie were the leal tender. Doubtless he is not an advocate if passing the Bland bill. Mr. ft. P.

In Barclay's Dictionary of Arts and Scienes. an old English work published some sixy years ago, is a statement said to betaken mm the writings of Eusebuis, that the proph t Isaiah (Uime to his death by being sawoiJ 11 two by wooden saws, by order of Manasii!i king of Juiiah. And in Burkett's Comnenlnricsoti tlic New Testament, published ne hundred and fifty years ago, is the stateneni that, tije prophets of old were sawn sundpr for their denunciation of the wlckedicss of the kings of Israel. Manossah began o reign about the year G'JS B.

H. a A REALLY NEAT PRINTING OFFICE. A Field for Women Which Has Heretofore Been IJttle Cultivated. There was some talk in a group uptown the oth*>r d;iy about the avocations th it are open to women, when a well-known journalist, who was at one timo a printer, said: "There i* a newspaper field for women which is very lilbie cultivated It is the conducting of local newspapers, tho weekly home papers of the country towns that giv* the events of the locality in which they are printed I want fc-> te 1 you what I struck in my travels wl en I was playing tramp printer. It was in Masiillon, Ohio. The;-? was an office tLere where a weekly paper was p: intid which was conducted in all its departments by women. The proprietor! were two si.>te;a They were l;oth typesetters. Thay had a female apprentice, Th i elder sister was the editor, but the vounerer one was a c:ood local writer. They had a 'patent o itside' for the paper. All tha rest of the woric the e thre3 persons did. They even ran the press on which they printei an edition of 90) or 1,000. It was a power pre-s, one of the drum cylinder kind lhat turned with a big crank. Occas onally they sent out and hired a man t? turn this press for them on publication day, but of tin they worked the press themselves They were none too rich and they saved this ex> pense if possible. "The pecuiiar feature of the office was its extrema neatness. There were no piles Of dirt swept up into corners. There was no "pi" under the stands that bore the cases. There was a pot or two of flowers in each window and a canary biid san^ in a cage above the type-rack. The old tramps ranging through the country then used to go in and take a look at the office. It was different from anything else they saw anywhere. They used to shake their hoads and go off muttering. They never asked for work. They knew that they couldn't spit tobacco juice on the floor of such an office. There was no 'hell box' in which to dump their 'pi' and it didn't seem homelike to them. So they gave it a w;de berth." "What became of the proprietors/'' "They got married. Their weddings were within the same month. The ollice was soli to a man. The flowers wilted. The canary died. It is worth while to note though that two successful poli.ical njwspapers in Ohio, one in Al.iance and one in Circleville, have been eJiterl by women. Their names are Mrs. Mattie McC ellan Brown and Miss Li lie Darst. Miss Darst was once record clerk of the Ohio senate."? New York Tribune. lixtravasance in New York Dinners.

At a dinner given not long ago by Mr. P , a banker, residing on Madison square, what served as "dinner cards" for the ladies cost $1,2-J0. They consisted of the best quality of wide ribbons, each di.Terent in c o'or, and each long enough for a sash. Tho ends were exquisitely painted and e lg^d with an elaborately made fringe. One end of each was drawn over a ring which was fastened below the chandelier, and carried to the lady's place for whom It was designed. Those formed a tent over the table, which was very elegant in effect Each lady, as she seated herself, drew her sash from the ring above, appropriating it as she pleased."
