- t The Press and Banner Wednesday, March 30,1887. The Counterfeiter*. Adolplius Adams, and his nephew Jim McGreer, livlne on the Saluday side of the county, and not far from Hodges, depot were arrested and carried to Greenville one day last week, under the charge of passing counterfeit money, and John Adartis, brother o Adolphus Adains, who has been in Jail nt L Abbeville for a week or more, under a similar I charge, was carried to fireenvllle last Monday, f where it whs understood he would have a preliminary nearing me same evening. Several counterfeit silver dollars have been ; found in different sections?at Abbeville and along the railroad?but the counterfeit money was so bungllngly made, that a blind man might easily detect the fraud. The money was cast of oabblt metal or some other base meterlal or composition and was so poorly made as to scarcely deserve the name of counterfeit money. Only a small number of these coins have been circulated, though there is abundant proof that these counterfeit coins have been often offered and almost as many times refused. They were such poor Imitations of the genuine money that it was difficult to impose them upon anybody. Up to this time only some eight or nine of the spurious colas have been found. The location of the foundry at which there BO-called dollars were cast has not yet been discovered, and it Is not yet known who did the work. Anybody possessing the molds, ? ' and having sufficient Ingenuity to cast a lead bullet and clip off the neck of the ball, could cast these dollars. As an expert at making the money, the molder of these coins may be set down as a Ma failure, though It is evident that there was somewhere a willingness to establish a mint I on private account.

Manly Valor-Attractive Grace?Happy Time in Knox's Hall?8123.60 Added to the Church Treasury. Last night the Methodists gave a most deli.ri.tr.il ontprtatnnient In Knox's Hall, the gross proceeds from which was 8123.60. All I kinds of eatables were offered for sale, and about one thousand of the choicest button hole bouquets that ever greeted the sight of charmed bachelor or adorned maidens divinely fair, were to be had early In the evening for a nickle apiece, but towards the close of the fair the deiraurt was so great that the price was increased to a dime each. Ladles of other denominations were present in numbers and contributed much to the enjoyment of the evening while adding greatly to the receipu of the entertainment. The I Methodist ladies are pleased with the success [which far exceeded their expectations. The Christian brethren in Abbeville dwell together In love and harmony. One of the chief attractions was the "Art I Gallery," the presumed pictures and the Imajjlnery statuary which were on exhibition. , being the result of the Inventive .genIns and commendable zeal and industry of Miss J Mamie Lawson and Miss Fannie Lawson. iThe price of admission to the "gallery" was ten cents, showing that about one hundred and fiftys-seven persons had been to see the sights.

George Johnntonc nn?l John B. Jonew Pnll Their PIkIoIn and Open Fire On Each Other lu Trial Justice Bleasc's Court. [Columbia Register ] Newberry, March 2fl.?When the cnoo pjillod ii? Trial Justice Bleasa's ollice this morning, it was expected that there would be trouble before the case- would end, because of the personal feeling exhibited between Colonel George Johnston and Colonel John B. Jones. While Colonel Jones was addressing the Justic on some point in the case, the counsel became engaged in a passage of words, during which Johnstone denounced Jones as an "infamous puppy," whereupon firing began, which continued till the contents of each pistol was discharged. Johnstone and Jones were within a few feet of each other during the firi ng, and it is somewhat remarkable that both were not killed. Colonel Jones, however, received a wound between the eigth and ninth ribs, the bullet passing directly downward and onward through the stomach and diaphragm and lodging beneath the floating ribs on the right side. Colonel Johnstone received one shot through the lobe of his ear, a glancing shot in his right groin, a bullet also passing through the coat sleeve of his left arm. Neither of his wounds are considered serious. George B. Cromer, Johnstone's partner and the Mayor of the city, in attempting to preserve the peace narrowly escaped with his life, two bullets passing through his clothes. This sad event has enshrouded the whole city in gloom. What Does Tbim Mean T ftichmond State. Mr. Rhea caused a lively little breeze in the senate this afternoon a few minutes before the adjournment of that body by introducing the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, it is brought to the attention of this body that the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago railroad company are represented here by a number of lobbyists; and whereas, from information received, it is believed that the said Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago railroad company through some of its lobbyists, have been and are improperly endeavoring to influence the action of the legislature upon the bill granting certain rights to said company ; therefore be it Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to inquire into the conduct of the representatives of said railroad company, and that said committee shall have Dower to send for persons or pa pers. Senator Rhea, in advocating the pass-1 age of the preamble and resolution, said that he was in receipt of information given to him by a person whose name he could not divulge, showing improper motives on the part of the persons who are lobbying for the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad bill. Senator Meredith repelled any reflection made upon the character of United States Senator Butler, who appeared before the committee jn V.,',\r-frtP mV^falso any intima'tion of any action on the part of that gentleman at variauce with honor and integrity. Senator Rhea said he did not propose to charge or intimate that any rpember of the senate had been or would be influenced "by these lobbyists." Then, he added again: "I say that from reason I cannot divulge, improper means have been used for the passage of this bill*" A Chunk of Solid Sense. There is no political wisdom apart from Christian statesmanship. As such, it onlntinn nf mftnv. so-called problems, rather than attempts a premature and forced settlement of them. The "negro problems" is one of them. After all that lias been written and spoken on this fruitful theme in the past twenty-five years, the question stands just where it did at the close of the war. The solution that is coming is not by any special, uivil or ecclesiastical leglislatlon, but it will work itself out in the use of just those means which Christian effort employs every where for the evangelization of the ignorant and debased. What the ignorant American or Chinaman needs is just what the ignorant Negro needs? uo more, no less. "What about hi.s social status ?" Is that troubling anybody bnt theorists? Is it a practical, pressing, revolutionary issue? Nowhere that we know of. A Negro was refused membership, a few weeks ago, in a Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn. Well, what of it? The case is settled by that refusal. There's an end of it. Associations, colleges, churches, families settle this master for themselves.?A. It. Presbyterian. The handsome residence of Col. S. M. Rice, of Unionville, was destroyed by fire at noon on Thursday. Insurance 93,000?a sum for below the actual loss. The plow will turn up more wealth in this fair Southern land than will ever be brought to it by all the immigration bureaus and keen-visaged land speculators that can be found. It is a very significant fact, and a very encouraging one, that thirty-eight new temperance papers were started in 1886. Bring a thousand more guns to bear upon the moneter in 1887. Thirty-five carloads of beef cattle have been shipped from Anderson this season over the Savannah Valley railroad. This is a business unknown here before the advent of the stock law. The artesian well at McCormick has been finished and now furnishes an abundant supply of water foi^the railroad, but it does not overflow. The water baa to be "lifted" to the tank with a engine. Chicago, March 23.?A special from Bessemer, Michigan, states that a board* Ing-bouse was burned early this morning. The bodies often persons burned to death have been taken out. Several others, who were badly burned are expected to die. If your garden plot is selected rake it over as soon as the weather will permit and burn up every vestige of grass and weeds, so as to destroy not only seeds, but insects. A covering of straw, leaves or stalks, burned over the ground, will be an advantage. The negro question is now testing to the utmost the wisdom and grace of somo who twenty years ago thought they know all about it. The value of manufactured articles in this country surpasses the value of those made in Great Britain by more than $ ,000,000. In addition to mission halls there aro now five hundred places in London where the gospel is preached in the open air on Sunday. Rhuadolpbia has 6,059 licensed liqour saloons, or about one to every 160 inhabitants, or to every 26 voters, or 10 saloons to every church. A new cattle yard has been built at the C. & G. depot to accommodate the growing business of shipping beef cattle from Anderson. Charleston, March 26.?Postmaster Huger died this morning.
