Ciouc Into the Original Poetry linsi- i
news.
Our friend, the Florence Time*, had an origi-!
nal piece of poetry in its last issue from an
nfloiiymous correspondent, which is worthy
of a patent. H e nave nieopporuiniy mgi-i
cveii with the Tiinr.i. A learned gentleman of j
this bounty lias offered to write three different
series ol articles for the Press and Banner, 011
as riiany different- subjects. :
The first of these articles is 011
"Earthquake*." The author ha8 studied the !
subject and knows all about them. He can
tell their causes, and when they may be ex-;
pected to occilr asain. This will be extremely t
valuable information for the Xtws and Cuu
rier.
The second series of articles Is on "Evolution."
The writer of these pieces under-,
stands this question tlmrouuhly. The recent
church trouble having directed his attention
to the matter, he has given the subject such :
thought as will enable him to make il appear 1
perfectly clear that tlie doctrine of Evolution
is the correct and only plan of our existence. |
This will be gratifying intelligence for Dr. i
Woodrow.
The tliird and last series of the learn-1
ed writer's articles will be "On Political i
Economy." Having mastered the subject'
thoroughly these articles will 110 doubt be,
highly etttertainlag to our friend; the Columbia
Register.
Gettlu;; it Down Fines
If you arc in search of tlie cheek ot a Govern
me.nt mule, we would commend to your;
attention the average advertising agent. In!
the tirst place, let it not be forgotten that they
seldom or never otter Hie country printer a
price at which they can alfort to work. When
they offer Sl.tfl for a titteen dollar advertisement
they always add : ".Less the agent's usual
commission of twenty-five per cent.''
Now they want us to make out an exact, statement
of the number of papers which we have
Issued for each week in the lust year. Then
they would like for us logo before a notary
public, and make affldavit to the correctness
of the report.
As we ao not solicit, and, ns a rule, we do
not accept the advertisements which Jthcy i
? end us, we care nothing at all about, the ratI
mis which thev may dive to the Press and I
Banner. If they send a prepaid envelope we j
may answer them, but if they neglect this
Important feature, the correspondence is certainly
at an end with their tirst letter.
I'nion Ucctinp.
Union services will be held on next Sunday
niirht at the Methodist church. Rev. Mr.
Whilden. of the Baptist church, will deliver a I
lecture on the "Unfavorable Traits of Chinese I
Character," n subject with wmcn trie reverenu i
orrftor Is familiar from n residehcc of several
years in China, where he was at one tirrte encased
In missionary work. The occasion
promises to be an interesting one and we hope
oar people will generally attend. The spirit
of these monthly union services among the
Protestant churches of our community isex-j
cClletit. We take much pleasure In commending
them to the favorable consideration of
our people.
A Goo?I Entertainment In Store for
Them.
We sec l\v the. Laurcnuvillc Ilcrolil that the
TrOy Social Club will play "Ten Nights In a
liKr ltoom" for the good people of Waterloo
to-morrow ninhtt Thursday, l>ecember 2,1886.
The Herald copies our report of the recent
plAV.at Troy, And wo know that the citizens
of Waterloo will be delighted with the Social
Club's rendition of that popular play. If the
Abbeville Rifles would invite the club to Abbeville,
they would probably come, and ifl
they did so our people would have a most cuJoyublc
occasion.

The proposition has often been made to conA?n/.Ac
r?f \nr1ltMr o rwl TfOnClimr I
hut there arcobvions reasons why this should
not be done. We know of no good reason, however,
why the Treasurer anil Sheriff should
notbeoneand the same person. A friend,
-*" * who knows whereof he speaks, savs that he
knows this arrangement works well in another
Stjitf, and if wed anywhere, why not in
South Carolina?
? Welcome (iiiesls.
t>r. T* W. Sheppard, Mr. A. J. Davis, and j
Mr, TltomHS O. Ta.-gart, prominent citizens of
tlie town of Troy, were in Abbeville last
Mondiy. Our p?ople arc always glad to welcome
the Trojans to Abbeville. Each of these
gentlemen took Important parts In the play
of "Ten Xiabts in a Bar itootn,"and will lend
their presence and ability to the entertainment
of the people of Waterloo to-morrow |
night, in a repetition of the play ot which we j
guvc such an extended notice a few weeks ago.1

Colonel II. II. Harper, of Lowndesvllle, re-!
ceived last Monday official notice of his ap-|
pointment to the office of mall agent on the!
Savannah Valley Railroad. He was lo enter'

New Hotel for the last two or three years, will
move to Lowndcsvill this week. He kept our
Itntol in 11 tnrvcf !ippi?nt!ihlp munnor. nnrl \vr>

l.-itlns themselves on securing tlie presence of
f<? good a hotel keeper as Captain awl Mrs. I

Charmingly Ilcntitiful.
The prettiest place 111 town is the post ofllce<
where thousands of the prettiest holiday goods

man}- ladies visit the place every day to feast
their eyes, and to select, favorite articles for
ttie little ones It Is worth a journey from the
country to see the immense display of the
most beautiful goods that are to be found anywhere.
They are ail a fairy dream Cwiild picture.

Last Friday Janies H. Walker was sent to

The time for paying taxes is nenring a close,
and the tax-payer should take heed of the
fact. We have no official information on the
subject, but it is rumored that there will he
no extension of time in which payment can ,
bo made, without penalty, after the 15th instant.
A large number have not yet paid.

To Property Owners.
Every citizen of Abbeville county is Inter-]
ested in the notice which Auditor Parks pub-'
lishes in this week's issue of the Prm.t and
Banner. Turn to it, and inform yourself.
Mr. McCkorey is in charge of the New
Hotel Irom to day; we do not know whether
temporarily or permanently. If he keeps as
pood a hotel as his predecessor, ('apt. Witter,
all will lie well for the traveling public. Hut
whether temporary or permanent, we wish
Mr. McUrorey and the New Hotel the greatest
success. The building i? one of the most ele-1
gant structures of the kind to be found in the !
up-country, and Its inviting parlors. Its spa-j
clous hails, and it.s comfortable rooms, otter I
inducements to the travelling public which I
in few other places csin be found. Give thvj
New Hotel a trial under it-s new management, j
au?t we know you will be pleased,.
Mr. H. H. Him. calls our attention to the!
fact that Spartanburg lias gone wet, and he Is ;
tmtch pleased thereat. He thiuks that elec- I
tlon ii favorable sign for the discomfeture of
the teinperanee people at the coming election
to determine whether whisky will be sold In
Abbeville. Mr. Hill Is on the opposite side of
the temperance question from that occupied
l>y the Press and IUtnner, hut he is a good man I
/or all that, and will work hard and tole fair1
for victory, when the time comes for u scuttle. |

anks, the dill'ercnt commands in manual of
inns were executed in the most correct mauler,
and the judges were now (compelled to!

THE SECOND ROUXI).
The seeond round was now entered upon

lie following named members were excused

The eight of the company standing thus
.vltti the places of the unsuccessful members
still open, must have been suggestive. and
nust have sent an inexpressible thrill!
hrougli the breasts of at least some of the old j
soldiers who had witnessed the scenes of ac-l
ual war,and who had stood beside the fathers j
)f some of these very youths in the bloody i
"ontl'cts of the years that tire gone. In actual |
ivur many of the companies were thinned in |
{renter numbers by shot and shell, by gleam-1
ng liayonet and wasting disease, than was'
his company in all the forms of peaeeandj
jdeasantuess. The feelings and emotions of
iiiese young gentlemen in their thoughtless j
md harmless drill perhaps had n<r realign! ion !
if the thrill that must come over the actual j
soldier when he is ordered to close up and
lake the place of a fallen comrade. The sol-!
Her has few more impressive moments thanf
that when he anil his comrade's re-as.-emble |
liter tlie shock of battle to reorganise, close
up, and fill the places made vacant by fallen]
. oniii.des iu thecontllct.
The drill in mock fil ing and loading, as I
well as the charge bayonets, were on thlsoe-:
asion, nothing more nor less than harmless j
sport, tint there were present many men who
i:id passed through a'I these ordeals when i
;he loading ,was with powder and ball, and j
Alien lead was tired at their hearts from en- j
riiies who were not much more distant than j
the admiring friends of the noble manhood,
upon whom they looked with such pride and i
iiieasure. They had seen the time when the J
.-ommand to charge bayonets was a serious;
matter.
lint, away with all the thoughts of actual
ivar, and Its dreadtul consequences. As sol- ,
iiers, returning to camp from the burial ofi
their dead, march to the most enlivening!
music, so let us pursue the drill with light
md happy hearts.

THIS FOURTH ItOfXD.
Now began the fourth round, and the excite- j
inent became intense. The gaps were closed
ind the stolid veterans with eyes square to
the front contested every inch. Every one In

Every movement was in exact, time, mid if a I

very "ledumten!," but the judges knew their
business,Miid could detect errors that tic incx-1 \

THE FIFTH KOUXD?THE VICTOKY.
And now bcholtl the Inst analysis! The fl- n
nul tug of war! There only remain standing j
iSChjcant. J. A. Harris, ! n
Private W. A. Lyon. 1 ?
A long, hard-bout in which the men moved
as one machine; the final "order"'given, and
then?"the battle's e'er?the victory's won" a
and this whole company give a shout, of
praise to Sergeant Harris who buars oil the v
honors. ! n
The contest from first, to la?t was pond, nnd 11
though Sergeant Harris was the lucky man,
Private Lyon was "right behind liim"' and r
proved a foeman lu every respect, well wor-j
thy the Sergeant's steel. L
The spirit shown by the entire company,'J
we think, was very commendable. To both I
Private Calvert and ^Sergeant Harris they N
gave a hearty, generous sluilit of praise, unmixed
w til tile slightest feeling of envy or ,
dissatisfaction.
The Judges, ('apt. Tat rick of the Greenville'
Guards and Lieut. Alston, Of the Uichlandj}
Volunteers, gave entire satisfaction by their j1
tail*, impartial Judgment of the drill.
After the drill came t
THE PKESENTATIOX OF TIIE I>Rt2KS. I
Tlic officers' prize, given hy tlio privatCR It
nml won by First Lieutenant A. \V\ Smith* ji
was presented by W.C. Hcnct. Ksq., In a I'ont | s
and iiappy speech. After some kind worus ' t
for the company and its officers, 31 r. lienctlt
argued that apart from the phasant social ji
features of Mich an orgranlzatlon, it was of
great benefit, to the conittiUnity; nntl he I a
doubtctl the patriotism of any man who I
wished to trown down the military ; and for
himself, he was glad and willing to vlve the 1
company all the aid and support he could.
In presenting the prize, which was a com- a
plcte gentleman's dressing case, containing,
brush, razor, strap. <Ce., he hoped the young ^
soldier when called into act tve service would
"brush" his enemies from the lace of the
earth : that his sword would be as bright ant'! i s
keen as the "razor" he held In his hand, and
he concluded by hoping tne gallant young 1
officer would never lie "strapped."
The nl"dals Were delivered by Gen. M. L. | j
P.onham, Jr., who made an earnest appeal for i
the militia of tlie State. He said the military i.
of the State was in a fairly good condition, M
and if the Legislature would but continue the
small appropriation, he thought lie could r
raise the standard all over the State. Gen.
Bon ha m is an ex-Captain of the Abbeville! j
liifllesand as he rose his old command greet- j s
ed him with a round of lusty cheers
The cups for shooting were presented by
Col. H. T. Ward law. Tn?? Colonel is generally . 11
happy in his style, but upoh this occasion he ! v
was inimitable. He said he knew Corporal j
Dui're who Is an unmarried man, coulu nev- (h
er "support" arms as Sergeant Harris docs, ;d
who is a married man with a fine boy; but j I!
he hoped that when .Mr. DnPre "presented"
arms to his lady love he would not have to ] ?
obey the command, "to the rear, march." ;J
In delivering the cups the Colonel thought j
tlie.v may possibly "leak" and advised aspeedy |
test, but warned them not to "punch" too big ;"
a hole, as such might bring on the hic-"cups. ! t
The Colonel brought down the house and was
most haDD.v in his hits. I n
THE CONCLUSION OF TUE W1IOLK MATTEIt. 6
This ended the pleasant evening. The Ah- ti
beville Hiflcs are in tine condition. They ?re
a.i ornament to the town smd deserve the aid
and support of every citizen. They are Sj
about to order a new regulation unilorni, Dnd 1
will give a military hop as Boon as they ar- 11
rive. Let us support our company.
Captain McGowan lias every reason to bo k
proud of the conduct t>f the Abbeville 1(1 tics |
fast Thursday night at the Plume Drill. Kv-i j;
orv membe r of I lie company seemed to be
perfect in the drill, and persons In the audi-!.,
once were unable In a majority of Instances I '
to discover the reasons which Induccd tho
committee to stand aside those who were "V
ruled out at the different drills. For the
Dciuflt of those who, like ourot-If, saw no do- j j,
feet in many of those who were rnled ottt, we j
will say that some of tire best drilled men In ! v
I he company, lost tneir positions because ofi '
the crape which they wore on their left arms |
in respect, to the memory of the deceased Ad-1 si
jutant General. A, M. Manigault. It occurred n
in this way: In coming from "support amis" j d
to "ca' ry arms" the hammer of the gun in
several instances caught in tho crape", throw-1 j.
inn the sun out of position. It was for this!
rea-'rti that Sergeant It. s. Link and Corporal ?
A.M. I >u I're were ruled out. Others were j **
knocked out because of some dilliculty In
getting their bayonets in the scabbards. llut t g
a majority of them were knocked out bc-Jw
cause of the position of their feet, at some |
time in the drill, and because they allowed i j
their guns to bounce on the tloor at "order
arms."
