A year or two aao tlifcy attempted to take possession of Seeession Hill at.d crowded about :he premis*s in great numbers. Mr. IhiPre bought a gun and cartridges loaded with small shot. He opened his batt'Ties on them, and he estimates that lie has killed at least live hundred of the intruders. He encourages the presence of the insectivorous blids, by feeding them. He thinks they are profitable servants in clearing his premises of the bngs and worms which would destroy his v<-getiblcs nnd grapes it allowed to remain.

Bell, principal of tlio Triangle High School, situated in Laurens county, some three miles from Erwin's Mill on the Saluda. Mr. Hell was graduated from Erskinc College a few years ago. where he stood high with the President and Faculty, and whose scholarship Is acknowledged by all. The Triangle Hliih school Is an excellent institution which Is doing a good work, and which Is receiving much public favor. The attendance was eood all year and the prospects for next year ure most encouraging. Miss Sudle Carter of the vicinity will assist Mr. Bell in the conductof the school, and the people thereabout have great reason tocongratulate themselves in securing the services of so able and competent teachers.

After much agitation and canvassing Union has given up the hope of a cotton factory. A public meeting was held at the Court House last wsek, and reports from the canvassing committee were so unfavorable, that the project was abandoned for the presint. Brother Stokes, of the 'IHtnes, asks: "What shall J fly "at next for the good of this old town and county ?" Tbe cause of the failure is ascribed by the Times to the poverty of the people. An enterprise of that character usually, if not always, owes Its existence to a surplus of cap! tal seeking Investment. In the absence ot foreign help, therefore, it is not surprising that the Union project failed before it was yet started.?Chester Jit-porter.

His health had been falling for several months, but he ln-ld out to the last, attending to his business within three days of his death, and when God called hi in home he quietly pa>sed over the Iti ver, and now rests in pence. Gen. Bradley had a host of friends in Abbeville who will be pxined to learn of his death. He was known throughout the state, having once or twice served his county in Legislature with ability. He was the father of the Augusta & Knoxville Railroad, having taken hold of it when there was not one dollar in the treasury. He bought rations for the hands and had them charged to himself, and it was by his energy and perseverance that we have this railroud running through our county. The last gen ?' -I ?.. nnil rmn thnt Will lip II ITUU> rt'-U "Wuit ov.11 uuu v?>v ? ?? .. ... ? _ monument to Ills memory for years to come, was the building of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church at this place. It is true that he received some help, out it was by his energy, and his money, that we have a church, he having donated the land, bought all the material and contracted the work. God in his infinite mercy saw fit to spare him until the work was completed, and then called him home to rest from his labors. He was burled at Cedar Sprlnes Monday evening. A large crowd gathered there to pay the lust sad rite. He leaves four children to mourn his loss. GENTSVILLE'S SOCIETY MATTERS. A Cyclone's Gymnastic Trick*?Fatal Hhso Ball?Protracted Meeting?

Editor Press and Banner : It Is again my special privilege to make a report of my annual visitations of the public schools of the county, and am pleased to say that as farasi have been able to ascertain, all thinjrB in the management of this department have worked well and proved satisfactory, except that the public fund is invariably exhausted a little too soon for the teachers and the patrons,and I suppose this complaint will continue to exist until the Blair bill is made a law, and then we will have money to keep and to spare, and money to pay the teachers better salaries and make comfortable school buildings, and pay all the school ofHcers, and raise the standard of education to the highest point attainable by human effort and skill. And right here, since we have mentioned l he above sub.sldy as we believe to bo a remedy to obviate the troubles of the present school system, it is remarkably strange that whilst the whole people admit that the public school fund is insufficient and the present school system is detective and works badly, some of our leading statesmen and many of our good citizens are opposed to any government aid to make it a permanent success. Hilt. thla iv lr?!tvln<r nr fllfrrpKKlni' frnm Mia kiih Ject of our present communication, and we must again recommence and resume our report. It affords the writer much pleasure to state that there Is more Interest manifested by the whole people in education throughout the county at this time than any period since the war. In proof of which we would mention the boom in some of our growing railroad towns, such as Greenwood, McCormlck, Mt. Carmel and others, which have erected already tine institutions of learning, embracing both male aud female educational buildings, besides the inter-county high schools and schoolsof all grades. All seem to be enthused and alive to the great work, and determined to obtain the precious Loon, which surpasses all legacies of an earthly nature in the present world. Having now given a short sketch of some ot the duties required of the School Commissioner, I further state that my visitations to tho schools throughout the county have been exceedingly pleasant and the preliminary examinations of the schools have been entirely satisfactory, and with your permission I will herewith tender my profound thanks to the various school officers, teachers and pupils of all the Institutes and schoolsof the county for repeated acts of kindness and respect.

It is said that one man In this county has } hauled enough cotton to Augusta to cross * way the road from Due West to Abbeville? , some 15,000 bales. But not of his own raising. 1 Saturday was a glad day for the young peo- 1 pie of Due West?those vulgarly styled preps, ) iciils and lambs, bv more pretentions ones. * They were out in full force; and, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Kennedy, ihey sought and found a shady nook in forests deep, by laughing rills, and murmering brooks, and bubbling springs?there to run and romp in childish glee till dinner was announced. A few young ladies and gentlemen?who were once known as preps, kids and lambs themselves?added to the free and easy caperings undskipplngsof the kids and lambs, a charm and grace and dignity pleasant to behold. And when Father Archibald commanded the trumpet to be sounded, the kids and the lambs gathered themselves together round about him, and wistfully gazed upon his countenance, for they were ahungered. And Father Archibald looked at the flockB and herds gathered unto him, and he lifted up his voice and cried aloud, Behold, the ninety and nine are here; yea, verily I say unto yon, I see the one-hundredth. And when he had looked again, he said unto Obadlah, the Sadducee, and Levi, the Pharisee, Here are gathered the black and the white, the ringstreaked, spotted and striped; feed my lambs. And a woman of Samaria, comely of countenance. spuke unto those In authority and said, How many baskets have ye? And Father Archibald's face was troubled, for he bethought him how he would feed the multitude. And he said unto the Sadducee and Pharisee, How many baskets have ye? And they answered, We have eight. And he commanded them to separate the lambs from the kids; and to feed the lambs to fullness. And they obeyed his command. And the Pharisee spake unto the Sadducee, and said, Behold, the kids are are ahungered, aud do grind their teeth ; wherewith shall they be red? And the Sadducee was troubled not, and he spake unto the Pharisee, and said, Mix with the loaves and biscuits some mushrooms, and knots, and sundry other chunks. And when this was done, the kids did eat till they were filled; and they ceased to foam at the mouth, and to grind their teeth. And when Father Archibald had beheld what was uuuu, uc wtu) Ktnu, iiiiu iv* uutu iuuov ?? uv/ had served, Pall to, eat and be merry. And ' the waiters filled themselves to overflowing, and there yet remained enough for a goodsized yearling. And when Father Archibald perceived that the ground was strewn with biscuits, and cuke, and pie, and custard, he lifted up his voice and wept: 0, generation of vipers! ye perverse beasts! how olten would ye devour these fragments, and ye could not! and how soou will you crave of the abundance ye trod under foot, and ye can not! Of a truth, I say unto you, of the fragments hereof might John Bonner's old allgator and "Flora" be fed forty days; yeu, even until the J fragments were exhausted. And when he 1 had ceased to speak, and had set himself . down to rest (for he was weary), faint bleats J arose for pastures green ; and tnc cry grew ; and waxed strong. And the command was given to gather themselves together, and de- J part these coasts; and they departed. And ' thus ended one of those pleasant days in the ' lives of the children that will be longremem- 1 bered ; and may be, repeated. And thinking of this, we wondered as we drove off, if the ' brook was like Tennyson's that would go! on forever, or fade away with tlie wet weather. NINETY-8IX ON HER METAL. J She Intend* to Give a* Good Bargain** t as any Other Town, and Claim* ^ Her Nhnre or the Trade. < Ninety-Six, S. C? August 13,1887. | Editor Press and Banner : , In this communication we do not propose { to trespass on tlie ground belonging to East End, who does his work so well. We simply | wish to look at a fact or two that are of vast \ importance to Ninety-Six and some other e places In our county, ol which you made ? mention, viz: that Greenwood no longer has ^ nor can have the advantage ot her neighbor ( towns in freights. From the Eastern and t Northern markets Ninety-Six haR a little the advantage. Western freights about the same. If the trade which naturally belongs to our town continues to go to Greenwood it will not be because any Inducements can and will be onerea 111 prices, wim ine rcguiuiion 01 freights, as we now have them, our merchants do not propose to be undersold by any one, and Greenwood may puff and blow herself In the papers as Is her custom, as much as she pleases but Ninety-Six proposes to be undersold by none, and we want the farmers to Investigate this matter for themselves. We propose to give as much for cotton or any produce that may be offered for sale. In fact we expect to keep pace with Columbia aud Greenville. We have a country to back us for grain, corn and cotton which cannot be excelled in the State and us for tine stoak the premium list of our State fair will show we are ahead. If with the fine crops and all the natural advantages we have our town does not tnKc me loau, ine lauuwiii oe wiui ner business men nlone. Wo have men hero in business of large experience and monied men 1 too, who propose to spread themselves this f fall. Such bargains as will be ottered will as- J tonish the trade because she is hound to bring 1 every customer home again, and she is going 1 further and bring new customers. Wo have . been very quiet for the last year or two, but 1 every house in town has done a good business. L Still water runs deep, they say, so you may not hear much from us often, but we are mov- ? lng on all the same. If you Bee fit to publish r this you may hear from us again. , JUSTICE. 1 m > c.

It is said the water rose in the Calhoun's Mills house (McNeill's) to within eight Inches )f the great freshet of 1865. In retrospectlng ,he past we see this remarkable fact, that the rresnets in this scction have occurred every ;welve years, except this Inst which was in ;he eleventh year. Then if this Is a rule we ivill have another next year. The first was in 1840,1852, 1864, 1876 and 1887, (eleventh ycur.) Thousands of bushels of corn have been iwept away.

His wife at once taking in the situation, was , in somewhat of a dilemma. She did not know where he might go, nor what he might do before awaking, and did not wish to follow I him through the mud and slush (it had been ] raining about three days.)
