The Press and Banner Wednesday, July 27,1887. Almost n Mis*. P.Y tho khnlness of our most obliging smcl efticR-nt |Mis!master we wi-re enabled to gel two packages of our pap.*r in tho mail lm^ last vvtii'k :ifl*'r tho wlisslIt- Mew, thus savins: us the expense of a trip to these towns. We were socmviv run mat \\u nuiiicw no pu|*riM beyond tlic limits ?>t Abbeville county. We have lor several weeks gone to press about an liour am! a half U-foiv the closing of the malls, which gave us barely time to mail our papers. Last week the extra time required In folding and mailing our supplement was not prop rely provided for, and we came near missing a considerable part of our mails. We liopo, tliis winter, if occasion should require it to issue other supplements. ? ? The Colt Show. Kvery stock raiser In Abbeville county should be Interested in the coll. show which comes oil- on Saleda.v In September. The owner of a horse and the owner of a jack, offer premiums for Ihe linesl.colts from their respective animals. Tiiis. however, is the smallest rea-on i?,r taking an interest in the colt show. Tii<' people ought lo see evidences of the profitableness of stock raising, that they may catch t!ie inspiration to emulate the example of those who lead the way to thrift and to fortune. The people of South Carolina let enonuli grass go to waste every year to raise all thesuvk they need. It In Better to Wait for the Stream to Itu it Ity. I>ast Saturday evening quite a number of persons had to wait at the foot of the Illne Mill for the water to run down before crossing. It is better to wait for the stream to run by than to be drowned in crossing. Fine I'plnuil Corn. Mr. Henry H. Iliil has as flnea field of upland corn as can be found in a day's journey. Nothing is more beautiful than a field of pood corn. .Mr. imrs is, 111 reality, a "sweet iiem of living green," beyond the mile house branch. We expect to publish the speech which Mr J. Altheus Johnson delivered at Due West. It was one of the ablest speeches of the occasion. and was one most generally complimented. Mr. Johnson is now In an Important office In Washington. He Is an honor to Abbeville and a credit to the Institution from which he was graduated. Ersklne College, and Abbeville county haveseveral representatives in Washington, who stand high at the nation's copltal. Among them we would mention Mr. J. Altheus Johnson, Mr. Joseph J. Darlington, Dr. A. E. Miller. If a Christian man is mindful of his beast, why may not the town council put a trough at the well to hold water for stock. Hundreds of gallons of water are thrown out dally. Much of it is wasted, and no doubt some of it, after absorbing the 111th of the surrounding ground, gets back into the well. If, therefore, the horse trough was put at the well, a service would be done to our faithful servants, while our own drinking water would be kept purer. Tim following named young ladies and gentlemen formed a pleasant party to l.ittle Mountain last Monday evening. They went 1 n lmircrinc Mr. W.K. Bell and Miss Clarklo Cothran. Mr. McL>. Cater and Miss Josie Russell. Mr. \V. s. Cothran and Miss Mattle Aikon. Mr. R. Sondley and Miss Fannie Allen. Dr. Neuffer and Miss Carrie McClung. Mr. J. s. Perrin and Miss Sallie Marshall. Mr. J. L. Perrin and Miss Ella Penney. Mr. T. \V. Coogi.EK will go to Ninety-Six 011 the 4th of August, to take charge of the telegraph office at that place for three weeks. It is pleasing to note that Mr. Hoi lis E. Edwards has made such progress in the art, as to take charge of the Abbeville office during Mr. Coogler's absence. lie has been under the training of Mr. Coogler for several months. Success to Hollis. May he continue to apply himself to the work before him. A YOTJNC5 man in a hurry to go home last Saturday evening plunged into the swollen stream above the railrowd with his horse and buggy. When the water got into the seat of the buggy he moved up and sat on the elevated rliljje of the bugsry back, when his cushion floated out on the water. Heor some of the by-standii)K Arabs caught it, ami he wcut on"home with a wet cushion without further ceremony. Some of the officers in the Court. House are li.iulnirllinli'nffii.u ,il....lv i.nlnl.i/1 Mw> being done by Mr. Benton W. Jones, as fine a painter sis there is in tliis section of tlie country. While we arc in favor of ceonomy in the expenditure of the public money, we are still in favor uf fix!ii|r up our public offices, and trust that the County Commissioners will do all the needed work. Tub Government wants post offices with only one name. They object to the name of "Martin's Mills." for the reason that there is already a post office by that name, and for the further reason that a name of only one word is preferred. Mr. Lawson has forwarded the papers, recommending the name ol the new post office to be Dover. , We notice that some persons sleep with their lamps burnlmr,but with the llchts turned down low. This Is not well. The lamp which does not burn the iras which it generates mnkes an odor which iu the lungs is not conducive to health. Better incur the slight additional expense of turning up the wick, or blow the light out. Mit. L. .\. Ramky Is one of the enorgelic and prosperous farmers of this county. He always makes good crops, and this year lie raised a splendid crop of watermelons In addition to liis other crops. We note his success with pleasure, and Irust he may continue to prosper and increase in this world's goods. Thk mulberry trees now growing near the public well may yet be the ruin of the water. While the Prcssand Itanncr would be sorry to lose the shade which the trees give, yet we much prefer to have ti c water pure and good. Let the trees be cut now before the roots reach the bottom of the well. The contractors for moving the Presbyterian parsonage have failed to come to time. The litiiMini; committee liuvo l>ecn looking for other contractors. Mr. J, W. Wells of Greenwood came up a few days ago to look at the Job. He camc,'.lie saw, he declined?to " take the job. The cows around town get plenty of the best and sweetest grass. Fine milk cows are now kept with little other expense than that of having t hem watched on grass. This incurs an expense of only tweney-flve cents a week. Cheap food and plenty of milk for the outImv. UofiKKS A Co.. of Augusta, (ia., wili open up a branch business here tbe first of September. This store will be known as the branch store. .Mr. Rogers will have a tirst-class business man to take charge of this business, anil will continue to sell the trade at wholesale prices. If a census of the cats and doss which prowl about at nielit could be taken the result xvould be astonishing. It seems to us that every dog and every cat in town hasan appointment in the neighborhood of this office at least three nights in the week. Father Monaohan will hold services in Sacred Heart church next Sunday morning at half past ten o'clock Vespers In the afternoon. He has had a successful trip North, collecting money for damaged churches In Charleston.

It Is said that the young ladies of Little Mountain had an appointment to go to the summit yesterday evening to witness the sunset and to write poetic lines. Mi:. I(exuy II. Hill expects to hear the result of the analysis of his spring water xext week. 11 is to be hoped that the water has valuable medical qualities. /The parks in front of Law Range and l/nround tlie public well are delliclitfial to the eye.

I The tournament and other amnscm^nts of | last Wednesday luive occupied so much space in theKtato press thnt to the writer Is left perforce to glean where others have reaped, but knowing thai all the readers of Hie Prcx.t tint/ Jimnirr art! not readers of the daily papers wo will give a brief report of the doings of that day. l-*or two or three weeks previous to the 19th no rain had fallen here, and the intensely hot weather had so thoroughly dried our streets that every passing vehicle would raisea cloud of stifling dust; this, with the many deaths Ironi the heat in tin- citics, caused grave apprehension, and the 20th was looked forward to with some uneasiness, but before tlicclose of the day all cause for such foreboding was removed by a heavy fall of rain which was not only welcomed by the people of the town hut liy the farmers of this section whose crops were being seriously damaged by the drouth and intense heat. By the rain which put everybody in a good humor, causing them to feel more like spending a day with friends in festivity, the success of the following day was assured. On Wednesday morning at. an early hour the streets presented a lively appearance and by nine o'clock persons from all quarters were pouring in?some having driven as far as twenty-five miles. Four excursion trains brought an Immense number of visitors from Spartanburg, Columbia, Augusta and (ireenvillc. Each train consisted of five or six cars, every one of which was filled to its utmost capacity. The train from Greenville being overloaded was the last to arrive. After the arrival of these it is estimated that five thousand persons were on the streets. The visitors were received by IntendantC. A. O. Waller in a brief address of welcome. In this he said that it was tho desire of the people of Greenwood to make the slay of her visitors so enjoyable that the day would ever be remembered with pleasure. At eleven o'clock, after the interest of the crowd lmd been excited for some time by the splendid horsemanship of chivalrous knights clad in costumes of the style of the season of 1".00, the course was cleared and Capt. Jno. W. Clark and Mr. Geo. T. Bryan, of Augusta, and Mr. A. J. Means, of Anderson, who had been L.Aln/.toH fn** ImljrnBrtnnAnnnml thflf. f he frrniul tournament would Immediately begin. Twenty-seven young men had entered for the contest. The first prize of forty dollars was won by Mr. J. P. Gaines, of Gaines, who took three rings at each of the three rides. The second prize of fifteen dollars was won by Mr. L. It. Tucker, of Anderson. The third prize of five dollars was won by Mr. J. K. Scurry, of Newberry, In a fourth ride against Mr. J. \V. Nickels, of Easley. The best time was made by Mr. J. C. Nickels and Mr. John A. Burdsdale, of Greenwood. After the contest, at the requestor the successful knights, a short address was made by Hon. Jas. s. Cothran from the piazza of Riley's Hotel. His remarks were pleasing and appropriate. At the close of these the crown for first honors was presented to Mr. J. P. Gaines who placed it upon the beautiful classic head of Miss Lou Biazeale, of Greenville. Mr. L. It. Tucker, winner of the second prize, crowned Miss Anna Hair, of Anderson, as tlrst Maid of Honor. Mr. A. T. Newell by inarrylnga few years ago forfeited the bestownl of hnnnrnnd thp third honor nassed to Mr. J. W. Nickeis, who crowned Miss May Teasrue, of Laurens, as second Maid of Honor. The crowning of the fair ones attracted the entire i crowd wlio cheered the winners and their best girls right heartily. After the ceremonies the assembled multitude at once bethought themselves and sought to comply witli the demands of the "inner man," and for two hours or more the deliciously cooked meats and vegetables served by Mr. J. C. Nickels, Mr. T. F. Riley and others received impartial attention. Tlmpartof the programme in which probably the greatest interest centred was the base ball contest between the Colutnbias and the Greenville team. Long before the hour appointed for the game to commence the crowd began wending their way to the grounds of the Male Academy, where the contest was to Uike place, and before the game commenced more than two thousand people had entered the enclosure. The game was oommcnced at four o'clock and occupicd more than two hours. The contest was very close and ten innings had to be played to decide It, The work Liiruu^iiuub wiw uuiuiiicu iv ?.?*v butteries. At tlie close of tbe game the score stood by Innings, as follows: Columbia 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 2 1 0-fi Greenville 00120 0 300 1?7 The game wits umpired by Mr. H C.Sloan, who acted under all circumstances in a most gentlemealy and Impartial manner. Thenu. illence at large knew but little of the players and had nothing at stake, consequently every good play was heartily and Indiscriminately applauded. Atone time during the game a dispute arose between the t wo nines over the catching of a foul Bsjl and it seemed that a row was imminent. The prompt interference of the police, however, soon restored quiet and good order was maintained to the close. The hall in Durst's Ilall far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. The hall was most tastily decorated with evergreen ana flowers in festoons along the sides and twined about the pillars. The Charlotte String Hand discoursed sweet music while the happy maidens and gallant escorts trod the merry mazes of the dance Irom 10 o'clock until S In the morning. Not often at an occasion of this kind is beheld more fair representative* of the types of feI male loveliness for whUh upper South Caro llnu Is justly famed nnd of which no other section of the State can boast so large a number. Many of the costumes of the ladies were very elaborate nnd fittingly displayed the beauty and grace of those whose charms were thus appropriately adorned. The spacious hall was well filled and it would he almost Impossible for us to give the names and enable the readers of this to form any conception of the beauty and grace and elaborate toilet of each fair one who honored the room with her presence. A commendable feature of the celebrntton of last Wednesday was the perfect good order that was maintained throughout the entire day. It Is not often at such an occasion with so large a number of strangers in a place that It can be truly said that there was notaslngle ease of turbulence observable. This reflects credit, both on Gieenwood and Its visiting friends. What was termed "ruffianism'' during the base ball contest by the correspondents of the Charleston and the Augusta papers was nothing more than an occasional outburst of applause by the friends of the players of both teams. The visitors from Columbia were equally as boisterous as were those from Greenville, and neither were so noisy as to justify the interference of the police. Among the newspaper men who were present were: Mr. N. G. Gonzales, of the AYtnt ami Courier; Mr. O. N. Flanders, of the Columbia Reytilcr ; Mr. A. T. McCants, of the Columbia ft rainier: .Mr. W. J. Gaines, of the A.i {jiista Chronicle; Mr. B. C.Sloan,of the Aiif/u.tla Chronicle; Col. J. T. Bacon, of the Eilgcflr'.d Chronicle, and Capt. W. J. Shelton, of the 0>lnmbia Register. Among the prominent Gentlemen present we noticed Hon. Jns. H. Rice, lion. Jas. S. Cothran, Gen. M. L. Bonham and Capt. I). Cardwell, of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad. The celebrated Young America Cornet Band of Annersoti by their splendid music during the day won the praise and admiration of the audience. Miss Kate Marshall and Miss Lizzie Marshall, of Abbeville, Miss Jennie Itobb, of Greenville, and Miss Anna Hearst, of Alabama, are visiting Mrs. DuPre. A fine two year old colt belonging to Maj. J. W. Fouclie was killed by lightning last Tuesday. It Is a lamentable fact that murderers are no longer punished by the Courts of our State. While the law Is disregarded by perjured Jurors immediate punishment of criminals by the people Is not unjustifiable. Mrs. Beasley died at the home of Edmund Anderson on last Monday evening. She was more than ninety years of nge. Prof. Win. Hood, of Due West, will deliver an address on temperance in Durst Hall on next Friday night.

Her Trouble Willi <lie I.ntcli anil an Old Codffpr's Uoju-liiiaml. Editor Press and Itanncr : After the fine rain of Tuesday nfternoon, Wednesday dawned an Ideal day for our projected trip to Greenwood's tourney, and when we reached the town and the lists wo <ir?> .... ...... I l.?.< ll.n f?.? 11 which half round Lay like a rainbow fallen on the grass." The town appeared to l?e full,even before the excursion (rains bo-ran to arrive. The yayly dressed knights on tlseir restle-s chargers enIIveiled the scene and recalled the days of chivalry when Arthur and his knights OS' the Table l'mind held titeir magnificent jousts at Ciiinelot?when Lnncelot wore the colors of the Lily maid of Astolat and tilted for Arthur's great diamond. The successful knight in the Greenwood 'tournament, reminded one of Lancelot of Lake. All looked picturesque, but the knight in black velvet and pale blue trunk hose was the prettiest little man we ever saw. He ought, to have taken the first prize, bui perhaps the universal admiration that was accorded him was honor enough for one day. A kr.lght in white and blue,one of Greenwood's <juota,looked like King Arthur himself, and one could almost Imagine his lance to be the tlnming, jewel hilled Kxealibar. During the day we had the pleasure of meet Ing many old menus nnu 01 tnaiong some new ones. Amongthe lattera lovely desrvnduntof General Marion of Revolutionary fame, In tllO person of Miss Marion MnJortof Greenwood, who we must confess, possesses much of tlie magnetism of her Illustrious ancestor. Those restless children, whom people persist. In calling "the twins," went over to Mrs. Millwee's, and that gracious lady treated them to the most delicious grapes and was so kind to them that they say she and Mrs. Klmoreare the sweetest ladies in the world. The tilting over, wo returned to our vehicles lo lunch, but. they were in such an uncomfortably, crowded, sunny place that we nil voted to drive down to a"cool grove where we had with hundreds of others stopped on commencement day. The shade and coolness was enjoyable. Lunch over the gentlemen, five In number, took the horses down to a brook in the grove to wntcr them, and we started to go over to a friend's to make a short call. We stepped out of the big ricketty, ramshackle gate and we tugged and pulled ami tried our best, to get the four links of chain to reach to the nail, but in vaiu. Just as we ceased our efforts and made a step or two forward, a good looking old gentleman came up, looked at the gate, wont up to it and lifting It secured the chain to the nail. We thought he was very clever, hut lo, he began : "Did you know stock was In here?" "We did not, but (appeasingly) we do not think a cow could move the gate. We tried"'?

"The twins" were not alarmed however, they almost danced with delight at the spectacle of someone besides themselves getting a reprimand. Our apology only seemed to make him angrier, for he strode away fiercely, and we began to think of dirks and daggers and dungeons dark, but we consoled ourself with the timely reflection that if this cruel Karl Poorin came back with his tlercc retainers to seize us modern Euids. before the gentlemen of our party returned, that we could rush back up town and implore the gallant knights to protect us, and then they would thunder down the street and Impale the cruel Earl Doorm on their terrible lances. We went on our way and soon forgot all about our adventure in Mr. and Mrs. Elmore's hospitable homeand genial presence. Their niece, Mrs. Giles, was there and favored us with some tine instrumeutal music and with singing that a prima donna might envy. Wo think the Misses Giles would give much pleasure to the public by inducing their gifted sister to sine 111 their elegant concerts and musicales. Mr. Elmore loaned us a shade tree aud plenty of water should we wish to picnic in Greenwood again, for which we are very grateful indeed. Hut when we get out onr patent forn wonderful gate latch we have in mind and thereby become a millionairess, we intend to send aiuoiissiiuors i? ourcjiin niiurui wun iun jju?yers to negotiate for the entire territory, ramshackle sale and all comprised within said grove, anil when we have welt and truly paid for same, we mean to transform the grove into a lovely public park with fountains whose dripping music will charm the lovers wandering in its moonlit avenues; with statues that will be the inspiration of the college boys and girls; with pavilions where the weary limbs of age will rest and backward look to their far away happy spring time of life; with swings and sports to delight the childrenthen this grove instead of echoing the lugubrious lowing of wandering cows, will re-echo with the shouts of happy children?will ring with "childhood's happy laugh, that tills the eyo with light, and every heart with joy."

We understand that .Mr.Stan, lirooks has twenty-live acres of the best corn in the county. We have not seen it. but if better than some Ninety-Six crops it must be fine. MaJ. Fouche lost a line two year old half Norman colt recently. lie thinks it was kill cd by lightntntr. We spent the day at Greenwood on Inst Wednesday, and indeed It was a bi?r day. We think there was fully 5.000 people there, some fine riding and the hase ball game was excellent. Kvery thing passed oil'nicely and the lay will long he remembered by Greenwood and her friends. Miss Helen Smith, of Chappells, passed np last week to spend the hot term at Seneca. After all the rain that has fallen some sections near Ninety-Six have missed it entirely, and the crops are certainly in a hail fix. Miss Oorric McAllister, from Mt. Carmel, who has been teaching at Oakland academy near Ninety-Six, has closed her school and returned home. Miss C'orrio leaves ou r neighborhood with the best wishes of all who were so f ortunate as to know her.

The barbecue in "Cow Grove" on last Saturday was an enjoyable occasion. The people of that section know how to manage such things, besides their hospitality is unbounded.

The railroad news from Knoxvlllc is good. The friends of the road are greatly encouraged. It Is a fact that railroad corporations have but few friends outside of those Interested. The latest evidence of this fact conies from Kdgefield. The A., (J. <t W. R. It. passes through a farm near Trenton and a Jury gave the owner SI,500 damages. This amount would buy a snug farm well improved. In this case the land owner has the farm left, only losing about live acres. More watermelons in town last Saturday than we have ever seen.

The colored Presbyterians of this place had a "jug breaking" last week. Some of the citlzcns here have been talking of a barbecue. The Idea takes well and Due West always'succeeds with such things. Let us have it by all means. Old uncle Ned Gordon saya the shaking of the earth last August is the reason why such good crops are being made. Mr. J. K. Kay, wiio has been iu dpcliulng health for some time, is expected to die daily. Mr. J. M. Pruit is digging a well on his lot in town. Mr. l'aine Henderson and wife, of Edgefield, are visiting the old home of the latter. Mr. Maxcy (4. Donnald is having four hundred cords of wood cut. Mr. FranU Lee's cotton is beginning to open. Your correspondent availed himself of a kind offer ot a seat to Anderson In a buggy with Mr. \Vm. Alewine last Friday. At an early hour wo were on our way, and along the route we found the crops in fine condition anil the prospects fora large crop fluttering. Some cotton was so heavily fruited that It will make a bale to the acre, if the seasons are such as to enable the weed to retain what Is on It. The corn was excellent also. It is pleasant to sec- so much of this cereal plauted. No one who has farmed but knows that a farmer can get on better if lie has a crib full of corn. lie does not have to run to town so often. ho eau keep his stock in good condition, and he feels more like a free man than a slave. Not until our farmers raise their owu supplies and the cotton as a surplus crop, will our county ever flourish as It should. The roads were In good fix, and where the eight day law has been observed they were splendid. Those of our friends who travel through Anderson county are so well pleased with this law, that they are anxious for something similar in this county. Certainly we need cither an eignitiny law or uie rigid emorceiucni 01 1 he six day law. We heard no compl ilnt of hard times or dull trade in the cliy.
