iK The growingcrops in tills part of tliccouu
linvc a more promising appearance than at
I have seen in the surrounding country. JS'c
llt withstanding tlie incessant wet weather du
ins June ami July the fanners managed
r- keep t heir crops moderately free from wen

.r tlie seasons have been very favorable to
fruitful development.
On yotcrday I was through that part of u
? ritory known as tlie Nation. I ain ureal
I pleased to note the thrifty eotnlitiuti of 11
id people living in this interesting and famo
locality, bordering this place. Willi pertiai
only a few exceptions the people living tlie
are widely noted for their civility, gcntlli
and hospitality characteristic of the tine (.'si
oliniiin. The ladies perhaps arc still mo
noted for their unsurpassed beauty and big
ly accomplished traits of character. Said i
intelligent- gentleman living near Atlanta
me the other day: "I have traveled all ov
the .Southern and Western States as well
(! other purls and I have nowhere met mo
jr'highly accomplished ladies, matrons ai
' maidens, than in that part of Abbeville cou
u ! ly known as the Nation. They are models
feminine accomplishment aud beauty."
As yet there is no perceptible improvemc
ir- making any way i!i Lowmlesville, "the sev

So- along from tlie depot up to Ihe main pub

ue lots are laid oil" and will at no distant, day
jo improved. Here is the place where the to\

u My vicwM arc ho well known upon the
as tion which is .sought to be injected intt
to politics of Abbeville County, tlml 1 wouK
ir ha\c deemed it iicces?ary to Kay a word i
lice to myself did not require that 1 si
to correct some errors into which one of
11c correspondents has fallen. TheAbbevill
lis was recommitted to the Judiciary Comu
<s- by a vote of 01 to 55, and when it. came i
le. iinal action was indefinitely postponed
tlf vole of 53 to 37. The petitions for the pi
to of the 15111 were signed by a little over
T- persons, and a careful examination of
made by myself showed that not more
n- (K)(l or 700 of the signers were white voters.
. It I oppo-ed the Mill to submit to the qua
is. voters of Abbeville county the quest it
ill "License" or "So License" in thelncorpo
re ! towns of the county, lor the following
ofisons:
I l. Tnc petitions for the tun were circu
id in every section of Lhecolinty, and the sij
al of tliem by only 1, 'SOD out of over 40,(HJU
it! dents of the county and by only 600 o
r. trhile voltrs out of :J,000 did not furnish
s, deuce sullieient to satisfy mc that tlie pai
in of the bill was desired either by the poop
in large or by a majority of the white v<
whose representative I was. J fell lrec, t
ur fore, to act. in accordance with the dictati
of my own Judgment, i do not claim to bi
in master of tiie people. I am an nncompri
ill ing enemy to bossism of every kind, i
ic do claim that the people in clccliug mc
>r, Hepresentatlve gave me the right to ac
\-s cording to my own judgement until a m;
iit ty of tlioin signify their wishes.
>11 2. Prohibition does not prohibit. The
o- of Maine has had a strict prohibitory lux
k over thirty years Statistics show that il
ih ovc:r a thousand liquor saloons. Ill lo'
xt prohibitory liw went Into cllect July J,
ur in twelve months afterwards the saloons
increased about twenty-live per eenu in t
il> ly-eight of its principal cities and tc:
State Senator .Sutton, who was the lathi
id Die bill and mainly instrumental in seei
its passage, made a careful examinatio
ill its workings a few months ago. lie sayi
lit law bus been a dismal failure.
The county of I'arnwcll lias hnd prohih
ns for three years, if the testimony of hoi
np hie and truthful men is to be believed,
Ic. liquor Is Hold in that county now than
was before the law was passed. Take th
willed dry towns of the State. With a
honorable exceptions, where publicsenti
keeps puce with the law. or 1 should n
say, was ahead of the law, whiskey, br;
wine, beer, anything to drink, can be In
in them l>y the gallon, pint, or drink, wil
c. without a doctor's certiticate almost oh c
as In places where license are granted,
short, no law can beenlorced which is ii
vance of puhlicsentimenl.
ty 3.1 thought and still think that this

believe llie white people of the South arc

that body, signed by over fifteen hundred hu
voters, praying the passage of a bill allowing on

was introduced in ttio Legislature, but was

LEBANON SUNDAY SCHOOL.
a Interesting Account of ttie Excr
oisi's Lust Friday.
AnuEViM.E, S. C.. August 0.1S.?6.
In last Friday it was our pleasure to attorn
r: public exoreines of the Sunday School a
banon, one of the oldest and most historic
urehes in Upper South Carolina. Then
is an unusually large attendance, a tcsd
my of the good work which is being doni
this school, and to the appreciation of it
lue by the community. The number of pu
Is who were present anil followed the exei
ies with such interest, add attention, logelh
with their deportment, is a high com pi I
ent ti> the religious zeal of teachers and pa
ats alike, and shows that hero the spiritua
struetion of the young is a labor of love a
II as a matter of duty.
I'ho meeting was opened with prayer h;
c lie v. l)r. Lindsay, the pastor of tin
urcli. Immediately following this cairn
e address of welcome by Mr. James Gibert
io us the superintendent of the school, e.\
tided n hearty welcome to all. The ilrst ad
ess was delivered by Dr. J. O. Lindsay, who
Is needless to say, made a most interestitij
(1 instructive talk. Next came Mr. (' \
imnmnd, who made a most happy addres
?TK/? UiKlo nn.r? Isnnn. its Hcrht rcllpott*!
Christians in the training and teaching o
llclren." The illustrations which Mr. Hani
and drew to impress this thought on pa
ntsnswell ns children, were well chose:
d calculated to make his remarks effect! v
d interesting.
FudgeJ. Fuller Lyon next delivered an ad
ess on "The uses of singing, its attractive
>s and a part of tlie worship of God, and in
spensible in Sunday School work." Ii
nuection with this he paid a most deserve*
mplimcnt to the music furnished by th
sbanon choir. Judge Lyon's earnest, man
r and heartfelt appreciation of Suuda;
hool work, won for him the favorable oplii
11 of the entire audience. Mp. W. H. I'm
r next spoke on '-The .Sunday School," am
I tided to his own early association with th
foanon Sunday School. He paid a feel 111
ibnte to some old workers in that portion c
e.Master's vineyard, who have since lui<
iwn their burdens, and passed to their r<
ird.
I'll is completed the exercises of the morn
g, and the audience then adjourned to th
ove near the church, where a nice dinne
\s served in the best picnic style. A
ough fully five hitiv.?red persons sat Uow;
.llt.-nej (iilc mniil Hiorn wns enoiiffh for all
Ill that of the bi-st. After mi intermission c
i hour and a hall', the congregation again a;
tnblt d in the church and engaged in a sci
ce of song.
Ltopt. J. T. Parks then delivered an add res
i "Sunday .School Work, its objects and Mi
