Tho practice of weighing cotton at thcscalcs on the public square has liven n matter of great convenience to the people, an?l lias prevented the vexations delays incident to carrying all of it to the depot wlu-ro the rush <>f cotton at a single scales would delay the weighing until lutein the evening, and thus cause the farmer to remain in town until night, compelling them to make hasty settl.) ments with their hands, and quick purchases lor themselves .before the close of business hours, and then to have a long or short journey as the ease might be to their respective homes in the night time. This state of affairs was of course unsatisfactory to the people. To supply the demand for more ready accommodations Mr. J. s. Hammond put up platform scales on the square for the public use, so that if cotton weighing pressed at either fdace, the planter could go to th'e other with lis cotton, and the buyer and seller were better served than when we had but a single place for the weighing of cotton and other) produce. This worked splendidly for two or three years, and until the farmers resolved to liavo their cotton weighed at live cents a b:ile.) to which deniut Mr. J.S. Hammond acceded,1 but as the business will not pay to hire two sols of hands to do tliis woric, at live cenus a bile, tlie scales on the Public Square have) boon abandoned for the weighing of cotton.! amli the same old vexatious delays will he again instituted. This may bo well enough if| a farmer can ailord to wait for hours with his ! Wagon and team, and then be compelled to! drive home in the dark nights over all sorts' of roads and in sill sorts of weather merely to j t-ave live or ten cents. Many citizens protest; at the cluinpe of price and the consequent! abandonment of the scales on the Public) Square. A larjjc proportion of the people, so! Jar us we are informpd, are more than willing t-? pny the ten cents a hale, aud wo think they I ure light. A farmer with a team, and a set. of i h inds waiting for settlement can ill-afford toj lose hours of valuable time merely to save! live cents a bale. Kspecially Is this true iti cases where the tenant pays half the expense, j Cotton (iinnliiK.

Tin* busi-l n- ss of ginning and packing In Abbeville lias Increased from hundreds to about as many thousand bales. Instead of Irregular em pioy-i ment for one gin, four gins are now run daiiy, I nnd the business is still increasing. Planters I jiow see the advantage of bringing their eot-l . ton Ave, ten or twelvo miles from the country. The expensive plan of feeding the hands I mid stock while a portable gin gins our cot-j ton will be abandoned. After the cotton Isj ginned and packed, the hauling.of the pneked cotton and the seed to marked Is as much as to haul il to town to have It ginned. and Monil'stenrt. Elizabeth C. .Ionian, widow of Daniel J. Jordan, tiled a petition in the Probate Court to have dower admeasured to her in 310 tie res, lands of her late husband, but now owned by It. T. Gordon. The case was heard last Mon-1 day. The demand was resisted on the ground j lhat R. T. Gordon had bought the land in a proceeding in a Court of Equity for the fore-! closure of mortgage, and also because a eon-j siderable portion of the land, before the sale,,' bad been set otr as homestead to Daniel J. i Jordan. Defendant resisted the claim of dower because the spirit ot the law did not contemplate zivinz both honvstead and dow- j 4<r out of I In* same property. The Court over-1 ruled the objections of defendant, and a writ j for the admeasurement of dower will be is-. Mied. The demandant was represented by j Messrs. Lee <S Hlnke. The defendant by' Messrs. Perrln & Cot 11 ran. Tlie Tnx Payers of E<l?<>fie](l.

If w? understand the situation at Abbeville nothing prevents this railroad from levying this tax, except the "conditions" which were atlixed hefore-the election.

No a matter where you have been culled, whether |h to bear burdens, to face responsibility or to a brave danger, you have never lulled or falter- h ed. In the (juiet pursuit of the profession of your choice before the war, you h'ad already tl won the golden opinions of your country men. ? When the shock of aniis.caine, and you were I >' called upon to bear a- part in the late war, I your devotion to duty, your patriotism, your h loyalty, and your sclf-saeritice wore illustrat.- T cd by conspicuous gallantry on triuny a hard- n fought. field; and even now your friends point si Willi pride to that noble body, covered all H over with scars, as tiie very highest and " brightest and best and most indubitable li testimonial to the soundness and brilliancy of your war record.

In conclusion then, let me assure you that we have an honest, pride in your success, and !ti a deep concern for the future welfare of your-, tr self and family ; and we know that the inter-1 csts of our town, our county, our District and ! to our Slate, will sutler no detriment when yon ) it shall have been numbered among the conn- i; seilors of the nation. b< Judge C'othrau, standing until Capt.
